IN NORTH CREEK

By John Grybos jgrybos@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — With environmental groups airing their concerns about r eopening the rail line to Tahawus, Newcomb Supervisor George Canon and the North Country Chamber of Commerce have chimed in with letters supporting the line.

Canon was very critical of Protect! the Adirondacks opposition to moving fr eight along the old T ahawus rail line. The envir onmental group has been lobbying to the Surface T ransportation Board against opening the tracks into the former National Lead mine.

The Saratoga-North Creek Railway, following a successful launch of passenger service, is looking to start freight operations in the area. Freight’s b een part of the railway’s plans for profitable operation since they signed up to r un their service.

Canon said he wants to make sure the board is hearing from more than just Protect! the Adirondacks.

“It's economic development in the park, we can't have that,” Canon said sarcastically.

Though his town government isn't in the loop on rail development locally, any new developments in the 481-citizen town ar e welcome, said Canon.

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Warren County made substantial progress in balancing its budget and developing its tourism infrastructure despite evergreater financial pressures, the county’s political chief said Thurs-

day Jan. 5.

County Boar d of Supervisors Chairman Dan Stec praised the board members for their actions in limiting the 2012 tax incr ease to 1.7 percent while doubling the county’s financial r eserves to $7.1 million.

His comments were made during the annual State of the County message delivered at the yearly org anizational meeting.

HOMETOWN OIL Automotive Service, Inc.

This trend of budget containment was likely not sustainable in the future, Stec said, considering that the state continues to mandate mor e costly programs while they are imposing a 2 percent property tax cap.

“Meaningful mandate r elief is a must,” he said.

Stec also cited a long list of tourism-related accomplishments, CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

“2010 brought improvements over 2009 in the county’s overall financial health, and 2011 saw this improving trend continue substantially ,” he said.

This frugal budgeting both in 2010 and 2011 — with the smallest tax increases in the last 20 years — was accomplished in two of the worst years for sales and mortgage tax revenue and slashed state aid, he said.

Early life

Leaving office

After Goodspeed served as Warren County district attorney and later as a public defender, previous Town Supervisor Bill Thomas convinced him to enter a town council race.

Thomas and Goodspeed shar ed visions of train service to North Creek and creating an interconnect from Ski Bowl to Gore Mountain.

The town has worked to build from its heritage and environmental r esources instead of looking to chains and box stores to build business. Goodspeed said that's been key to the town's successes.

“I think we’re a shining star in the park; we’re an example to other communities,” he said.

That shining star status didn't come without challenges, ones the community is still contending with.

“It was pretty weird getting up in the morning and not being the supervisor,” after four years, Goodspeed said.

He'd like to think that people wer e generally satisfied, that they feel Sterling was the right person to deal with FrontStreet, to finish the interconnect, to help find a good operator for the train.

Warm-up zones and tours set at Santanoni Long Lake Town Board NEWCOMB — Historic Gr eat Camp Santanoni will be open for three special long weekends this winter.

Over these weekends, cr oss-country skiers and snowshoers will be able to visit the Gate Lodge and Main Lodge, get short interpretive tours with Adirondack Architectural Heritage staff, and warm up at theArtist’s Studio before the return trip.

“People will have sort of a warm place to arrive at when one skis or snowshoes into the camp,” said Newcomb T o wn Supervisor George Canon.

These open house weekends will be Jan. 14-16, Feb. 1820, and March 17-18.

“We'll see how it goes. It's kind of an experimental thing,” said Canon.

Camp Santanoni is a popular Adirondack cr oss-country ski destination, and for good r eason. The snow conditions are usually excellent, the trip itself is of only moderate intensity, and the historic camp on its remote lakeside setting makes for an interesting and most beautiful destination.

The round-trip cross-country ski and snowshoe trip is 9.8 miles on a gently sloping carriage r oad. People may visit Santanoni 365 days a year, but these weekends are rare opportunities to visit the camp in winter , have a brief tour, and have a place to warm up.

As 2012 snow conditions have been light, it is best to check in advance to make sur e the road is suitable for skiing. Reservations are not required. For information, contact

shares services to save

Great Camp Santanoni Adirondack Architectural Heritage at 518-834-9328 Camp Santanoni was built beginning in 1892 by Robert and Anna Pruyn and eventually consisted of more than four dozen buildings on 12,900 acres including a working farm, Gate Lodge complex, and a huge ustic r Main Lodge and other camp buildings on Newcomb Lake.

Over the last several decades, in state ownership, it has gradually been restored by a partnership between NYSDEC, AARCH, and the Town of Newcomb. Santanoni is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark.

LONG LAKE — Renewing town service sharing agr eements is just good business for Long Lake and its neighboring communities, said Town Supervisor Clark Seaman.

They've historically had shared service agreements with Newcomb, Inlet and Indian Lake, he said. W ith those agreements in place, they'll shar e work crews and equipment when a local project needs doing.

If Newcomb could use assistance on a blacktop job, then Long Lake will happily send over a tr uck, as long as it's not busy. And if later in the season, Long Lake could use help, too, “that's at no cost to us,” said Seaman.

Long Lake will lend its cr oss-country ski-trail making equipment to Newcomb. It's just dragged behind a tractor to groom the trails, but if it's not busy working for Long Lake then Newcomb's welcome to it, said Seaman.

That congenial attitude does r equire boar d action, but it's a good-neighbor outlook that helps both small governments save a little money for their citizens.

“Can we save the taxpayers money? That's the bottom line,” said Seaman.

Re-open the rail to National Lead

T

he quarrel over re-opening the rail line to Tahawus is driven by a not-in-my-backyard protest from the environmental groups, contends the Saratoga-North Creek Railway (SNCRR) lawyer in filings to a rail regulation board.

The 6-million-acre Adirondack Park held in forever wild trust, but more than half the land inside the Blue Line is still private. It's a place where nature and people coexist. People don't dominate the landscape, and the landscape shouldn't dominate the people.

Though the tracks running out to the remote, high-peak wilderness in Newcomb have been quiet since 1989, that's not so distant in the memory of people who've spent their lives in the region. Newcomb Supervisor George Canon was featured in an article from the Adirondack Park Agency when the state purchased thousands of Tahawus acres in 2003, where he remembered a childhood in the company town at the mine. Canon, who also worked at the mine, has sent a letter of support for SNCRR, calling the redevelopment of the rail crucial to the economic future of his 500-citizen township.

The North Country Chamber of Commerce, which spearheaded the proposal for competitive granting in the New York Open For Business campaign, earning $103 million in grants for regional projects, tossed its hat in the ring early this month with a letter of support for the rail. President Garry Douglas said rail preservation and development is a necessary part of the region's future.

The easement for the rail line is active until 2062. The state DEC worried that the rail runs over 13 miles of the Vanderwhacker Wild Forest. So does 28N, a welltraveled road that connects the centers of all the local communities, and is driven by many passenger vehicles, large recreational vehicles, logging trucks and other heavy equipment. It's already a people-frequented area.

As asserted by SNCRR's lawyer, reopening the line would alleviate some of the heavy equipment traffic from the roadways. National Lead still hauls 30,000 tons of screened rock for construction and 3,000 tons of magnetite from the old mine site every year.

Taking that volume of stone off the roads and putting in on the unused rail line would give SNCRR a dependable place to launch their freight interests, an important part of their business model.

And, it is better for the environment.

In the early-to-mid 19th century, and again in the mid-to-late 20th century, the open mines bustled with activity, producing high-quality ore and good jobs. The towns where operations were housed, Adirondac and Tahawus, are now only skeletons of their former selves, but still serve as attractions for tourism. Economic development can encourage interest in nature.

The mines still hold a rich deposit of ore. Monetizing that ore may be difficult, but more efficient removal from the deep wild is key to ensuring its success. A similar problem with the cost of production kept Russian oil, much of it locked in tar sands, from being a viable business prospect. Once refining methods improved and demand grew, Russia became a major exporter of oil.

If the National Lead mine could be reopened, it would need a reliable, cheap way to get the ore out. Shipping mine tailings out with SNCRR could be a precursor of much greater things to come.

The environmental groups should not impede that progress.

ecember 201 1 continued wher e November left of f, with mild temperatures and below normal precipitation, especially with a noticeable lack of snow . Winter sports have had a difficult time with little snow and warm temperatures, virtually eliminating snowmobiling and cr oss country skiing. Downhill skiing has been able to make snow, although not as much as possible without the cold temperatures. Christmas was just barely white with only a trace of snow on the ground here in Riparius.

The average high temperatur e was 35.7 degr ees and the average low was 21 degr ees giving us an average temperatur e of 28.3 degrees, 4.2 degrees warmer than normal and the seventh warmest on record. The warmest December was in 2006, when the average was 31.5 degrees. The coldest was in 1989 when the average was a bonechilling 8 degr ees. That year ther e wer e 19 days with below zer o readings compared to this year with none. Our average is thre e. The highest temperature, 45 degr ees, was r ecorded on the 4th and 5th.

The lowest temperature, 5 degrees, was recorded on the 18th and the

29th. Ther e wer e 1 137 degr ee days bringing our seasonal total to 2761.

Melted pr ecipitation for the month was 2.51 inches, 0.69 inches below normal. It was the second month in a row with below normal precipitation and only the third month of the year with below normal melted pr ecipitation. This brings our seasonal total to 55.31 inches, 12.41 inches above normal and the second most on r ecord.

The wettest year was in 1990 when 55.44 inches was measur ed and the driest year was in 1988 when only 31.76 inches fell. Pr ecipitation was measured on 14 days with the most, 0.93 inches, falling on the 27th. There was measurable precipitation on 14 days.

Snowfall was scant as only 4.1 inches was measur ed, 12.2 inches below normal. The snowiest December was in 2008 when 42 inches fell and the least snowiest was in 2006 when only 3.3 inches fell. Last year there was only 3.5 inches measur ed. This was not an unpr ecedented event as other Decembers have had very little snow her e in the North Country. Many can r emember the 1980 Winter Olympics when there was very little snow, so little that snow had to be made and spr ead on the cr oss country courses at Mt. V an Hoevenber g.

Our seasonal total is now 14.6 inches with most of that coming in one storm in November which has long since melted away.

The river reached its highest level, 5.74 feet, on the 1st and its lowest level, 4.01 feet, on the 14th.

Piano concert planned at Tannery Pond Jan. 14 NORTH CREEK — Upper Hudson Musical Arts wishes to announce a concert by pianist Eugene Albulescu Saturday, Jan. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the T annery Pond Community Center.

S

ome years ago ther e was a popular book called “The Sisterh ood of the Traveling Pants.” Not having read it, I know nothing about that Sisterhood, but I have r eason to believe that they have formed a branch in my attic.

At the risk of sounding paranoid, I think some of my tr ousers have joined this secr et sor ority. Oh, I don’t believe that they have traveled very far . They’re wannabe armchair travelers, accidental tourists, just taking a staycation.

You see, last year I packed up my of fseason clothes, and my husband stowed the boxes in the attic. When the time came to retrieve them, some of my pants wer e missing. They had gone AWOL. Why, you ask, would they hide away in some far corner of the attic? Maybe they needed a rest, some well deserved R & R. Perhaps they felt sat upon, that their seams were about to burst, and they just couldn’t take it any longer.

They’ll pr obably turn up this spring.

But — her e’s the pr oblem. I can guarantee that they’ll be smaller . My theory is that ther e’s something about spending long periods of time in a hot attic that shrinks their fibers.

It has happened before. Clothes that remained in the attic for two or three years no longer fit when finally located. It is a conspiracy. “The Conspiracy of the Traveling Pants.” I should write a book!

Donegal beard champ to defend crown

By John Grybos

jgrybos@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The top contender fr om the 201 1 Donegal Bear d Contest isn't going to let his hair -won trophy slip away this St. Patty's Day. Dan Meehan, r eigning chin-curtain champ, is currently working as a pressman a t D enton P ublications i n E lizabethtown. Denton is a publisher of local weeklies in the North Country , including the News Enterprise.

With his cheeks alr eady dark with lush growth following his New Year ’s Day preparatory shave for the contest, Meehan has an obvious talent for beardy pursuits.

“I don't know if it's a gift or a curse,” he said of his fast-growing facial hair.

Meehan’s been able to gr ow a full beard since he was about 15, he said. With a name like Meehan, his Irish ancestry is without question. But he said he also has forbears fr om Germany and the Ukraine, wintry landscapes wher e hairyfaced men wer e better pr epared for the weather than wispy-whiskered peers. This potent genetic combination makes his five o'clock shadow show by quarterto-three.

He’s experimented

with dif ferent facial hair styles, but said, “I'm not too fond on a mustache,” which makes the contest beard ideal to his tastes. In getting ready for the 2011 competition, though, he had to deal with some funny looks and questions from co-workers on why he looked like a stereotypical Amish man.

The chin-curtain beard, also called a Donegal, is cultivated along the jaw line and completely covers the chin but not the lip. It’s also knows as a Lincoln, for the iconic pr esident who, legend says, grew it in response to an 11-yearold girl’s fan letter suggesting his ugly face could use some obfuscating.

Meehan said a historically accurate Donegal is a good start, but if you re ally want to be noticed by the judges you need get into the spirit of the day.

“If you just come with the beard and you're not dr essed up, that's plain,” he said. “Do the full get-up and get into it.”

Last year, he wore a kilt and wool socks and a St. Patty's Day hat. A lepr echaun shirt completed the outfit while he str uck a Fighting Irish pose straight fr om the Notre Dame football uniform. He plans to scor e big on style again this year, though he’s car efully guar ding his game plan.

cluding length, fullness, manliness and sophistication.

Though his natural talent won him a bottle of Bushmills Irish Whiskey last year, Meehan said maintaining the fastgrowing facial hair is mor e grief than joy.

“Honestly, if I had the money I'd get electrolysis so I'd never have to shave again,” he said. “I hate shaving.”

Warren County realigns leadership for 2012

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Responsibilities were shuffled among W arren County leaders as five new county supervisors wer e sworn in Thursday Jan. 5. These changes in county committee leadership wer e enacted at the county’s annual organizational meeting.

The Boar d of Supervisors, however , r etained Dan Stec as its chairman. He has served in the position for one year.

Administered the oath of of fice wer e Johnsburg Supervisor Ron V anselow, Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson, Queensbury Supervisors-at-lar ge Mark Westcott and William Mason, and Hague Supervisor Edna Frasier.

With the r etirement of Dan Belden, Horicon Supervisor Ralph Bentley of Horicon was appointed to Belden’s long-time post chairing the county Public W orks Committee.

Due to the departure of former county Supervisor William VanNess of Queensbury after his election loss, Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood has taken over the helm of the Public Safety Committee.

With the r etirement of Sterling Goodspeed, Chester Supervisor Fr ed Monr oe is assuming Goodspeed’s post as chairman of the Real Pr operty Tax Services Committee.

Monroe also moves into the chairmanship of the Legislative and Rules Committee, taking over from Bentley.

Glens Falls Ward 1 Supervisor Dan Girard takes over the leadership of the County Facilities Committee due to the departur e of Frank McCoy, who lost his bid for e-election r as Lake George Supervisor.

County Supervisor-at-large Dave Strainer is now the leader of the Community College Committee, taking over fr om county supervisor Fred Champagne of Queensbury, who retired Dec. 31. Champagne was hailed for his 18 years of service at the Jan. 5 meeting.

With the elimination of the county Planning Department, the county Planning & Community Development Committee was scrapped, and its functions were consolidated with the Economic Gr owth & Development Committee, chair ed by Glens Falls Ward 3 Supervisor Bud Taylor.

Appointments were also made as follows to supervisors in northern Warren County: • W arrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty was re-appointed county Budget Officer — and he was praised for his work.

• Designated as representatives to the Intercounty Legislative Committee of the Adirondacks wer e Stony Cr eek Supervisor Frank Thomas, Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood, Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson, Chester Supervisor Fr ed Monr oe, Horicon Supervisor Ralph Bentley — as well as Geraghty.

• Monroe and Glens Falls Ward 3 Supervisor Bud Taylor were named to serve on the Intercounty Solid Waste Coordinating Com-

Warren County from page 1 which included signing railway lease contracts with Iowa Pacific Holdings, which launched the Saratoga-North Creek Railway. This new passenger rail service has enjoyed substantial success so far and is alr eady sparking a r evival in North Cr eek’s economy, he said. The railway is also moving forwar d on its aim of pr oviding freight service that is expected to spur industry and cr eate jobs, Stec added.

“The prospect of freight service and economic development opportunity both south and north of our county boundaries hold great potential for not only W arren County but also northern Saratoga and Essex counties,” he said.

Stec also praised county leaders for successfully negotiating with the state to substantially re duce its leasing fees forAmericade motorcycle rally’s week-long use of Million Dollar Beach parking lot. The stif f charges they sought had thr eatened to chase Americade out of state, causing the loss of $42 million or mor e in revenue to area businesses, he said.

Stec also hailed the consolidation of emer gency and police dispatch services during 2011 with the city of Glens Falls. Such intermunicipal cooperation will provide financial benefits for both the city and county, he said.

Progress on the environment and county infrastructure was also noted by Stec. mittee.

• W ood and Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover were appointed as members of the Lake Champlain-Lake Geor ge Regional Planning Board for 2012. This boar d will be effectively taking over the re sponsibilities of the county Planning Boar d, which was disbanded as of Dec. 31.

• Wood and Thomas wer e named to the Board of Directors of the Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District.

• Bentley and Lake Luzerne Supervisor Gene Merlino were appointed to the District

He cited the pr ogress on development of the W est Brook Environmental Park, which included demolition of the former Gaslight Village buildings as well as securing funding and developing plans for the park. West Brook park is envisioned as a promising tourist attraction while accomplishing its primary aim of reducing pollution of Lake Geor ge by filtering stormwater thr ough engineer ed wetlands.

He also praised the county’s decision to commit funds to combat the invasive Asian clams in Lake Geor ge, as well as enacting New York State’s first invasive species law in 2011.

Stec also hailed county workers for their dedication and r esourcefulness in responding to the storms on Memorial Day weekend as well as Tropical Storm Irene, which devastated property, infrastructure and roadways, particularly in the town of Thurman.

He also mentioned the completion of the Main St. econstruction r project, which included str eetscaping, new sewer and underground utility infrastr ucture, plus r ebuilding the r oad with an added third lane.

He also talked of how the county had reached the end of the expensive trash burn plant contracts, and were able to reap some income from the sale of the plant.

Stec concluded that frugal and appropriate allocation of finances would be the county’s main focus for 2012.

“We’ve done much solid work in 201 1 in very dif ficult times,” Stec said. “With the help of the tremendous county workforce, I’m confident that we will continue to impro ve Warren County government.”

• Thomas was named to the Gr eater Adirondack Resource Conservation and Development Council, and Geraghty and Bentley were named alternates.

• Monr oe, Geraghty , Conover and Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec wer e appointed to the county Labor/Management Committee.

After the swearing in of the five new supervisors, county Boar d of Supervisors Chairman Dan Stec invited them to sit in their respective seats — vintage chairs that he joked wer e salvaged fr om Roswell, NM after some nuclear testing, per haps due to their retro design and peach-pink hue.

Cuomo says little about North Country in State of the State

By Fred Herbst

State Sen. Betty Little was pleased the governor is serious abut mandate relief. fred@denpubs.com “I expect to see a gr eater focus this year on mandate r elief, she said. “There were a lot of ideas put on the table for TICONDEROGA — Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s state of the discussion, but not much acted upon last session. Behind state address offered little for North Country residents.

The governor outlined a new economic development blue- every mandate is a special inter est and many of them ar e print that invests billions of dollars in public-private sector laudable. But some ar e not needed, or are unaffordable or simply not appropriate for all r egions of the state. The tax partnerships and plans to rebuild infrastructure as a means cap has created an urgency to act and find agreement on reof cr eating new jobs acr oss the state during his hour -long lief measur es that will pr ovide our local governments and speech Jan. 4, but did not pr esent any initiatives specificalschools the flexibility they need.” ly for the region.

Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward agrees.

Cuomo only mentioned the Adirondacks twice — once “I was encouraged to hear his commitment to delivering when announcing a second round of Regional Economic Deon the unfilled pr omise of mandate r elief for our counties velopment Awards and again when discussing the “New and schools and also regulatory relief for our NYS businessYork’s Open for Business” tourism promotion effort.

A highlight of the speech for many local of ficials was a call es,” she said.

Cuomo also talked about the damage resulting from Hurfor mandate relief. Noting the success of the 2-perc ent property tax cap passed by the state legislature last year, Cuomo ricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. He praised volunteers said the next step is for the state to aid local governments by who r esponded to the emer gencies and touted the state’s multi-million response. ending many costly mandates.

“I’m glad he mentioned flood re lief,” said Douglas, whose The governor said he will appoint a commission to hold county and town were hard hit by Irene. “The governor and hearings ar ound the state and study mandate r elief. He his staff have been extr emely helpful as we r ecover. I can’t asked the commission to r eport to the state legislatur e in say enough, but we need grant funding to fully r ecover — time for action before the end of 2012.

“We’ve been lobbying for mandate relief for a long time,” not loans. We need major work on our roads, bridges, water, sewer, youth facilities...and we’r e in debt. W e can’t af ford said Randy Douglas of Jay , chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisors. “Medicaid alone costs $6-7 million in more loans. We need grant money.”

Other highlights of the speech include a call to build the Essex County. Forty eight other states have taken Medicaid world’s largest convention center hotel at a New York City costs away fr om counties. It’s time for New York to do the racetrack; a push to expand gambling in a bid for more state same.”

Douglas, who attended the speech at the invitation of the tax r evenue and jobs; and a pr oject to r eplace 100 bridges governor, said he will ask the Cuomo to schedule a mandate and repair 2,000 miles of roads.

Little believes the proposed road work is a good idea. relief commission meeting in Essex County.

“I like the governor ’s ideas to invest in r oad and bridge infrastructure as well as ener gy use and transmission and look forwar d to mor e detail in the budget pr oposal,” she said. “These are worthwhile investments that will cr eate economic activity today while building for the futur e. And, I am eager to learn more about increasing tourism promotion, which will benefit the North Country and all of New York.”

Sayward said the governor ’s speech was encouraging.

“Because of actions taken last year , New York State is stronger and beginning to head in the right dir ection,” she said. “The governor ’s addr ess gives us an opportunity to build on the successes of last year . His message was clear New York State needs jobs, jobs, jobs! I was impre ssed at the governor ’s focus on rebuilding New York’s economy, jumpstarting economic development and focusing on private, not public sector jobs. With the recognition of the North Country’s Regional Economic Development Award we will be able to create jobs right here in the district.

“If we can realize even some of the governor ’s goals this year we will have taken a giant step forward in delivering a robust economy and a mor e open, less intr usive state government,” Sayward said.

The governor spent much of his speech touting the accomplishments of state government in 201 1 — the pr operty tax cap, ethics reform, gay marriage, a middle class tax cut and more.

“By all accounts, last year was a tr emendous success,” Cuomo said. “Ther e ar e many r easons why, including one simple one: We changed our attitude. We had a constructive impatience for government dysfunction and a disregard for the political extremists on the left and the right, we believed in the people, and we had a mutual espect, r both institutional and personal.
