North Creek welcomes Canadians for ski week

NORTH CREEK — Business and ski center officials are rolling out the red carpet for hundreds of Canadian visitors this week.

Skiers from Quebec — including a three-day bus tour — were in town this past week, taking advantage of the extra snow at the Gore Mountain Ski Center, according to General Manager Michael Pratt. It is a weeklong holiday in Quebec this week.

For the coming week, it is a week-long holiday for Ontario residents, and Gore Mountain will be welcoming about 500 skiers from the Toronto area, a group that CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — On Thursday, March 1, prayers were answered for tourism industry workers and school children alike. It was a snow day.

Between 10 and 15 inches of snow fell on the Gore Mountain Region, causing many school districts — in-

cluding the Johnsburg, Indian Lake, and Minerva schools — to close for the day on March 1. Many kids were playing in the snow, and many — old and young alike — were headed to the local ski centers.

“It was a real shot in the arm,” Gore Mountain General Manager Michael Pratt said. “It got everybody excited.”

The business community, which relies heavily on skier traffic, has been anticipating a good snowfall for most

of the winter. While ski conditions have been great, the mild winter has scared away many would-be skiers this year.

Gore Mountain hadn’t been at full capacity until this past weekend, when 100 percent of the trails were open on Friday and Saturday, March 2-3.

“It made the business community very happy,” Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce Director Pat CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

“We would love to get at least 100 Girl Scouts there,” Williams said.

Juliett Gordon Low founded the first Girl Scout troop in Savannah, Ga. in 1912. Since then, more than 50 million American girls have developed leadership potential in their Girl Scout troops.

There are a number of ways Girl Scout troops are celebrating the 100th anniversary. Some from the regional council — Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York — are going

“We are currently Brownies, but we are bridging up 10 to (Junior) Girl Scouts in the spring,” Williams said.

The date of the party — March 12 — was chosen purposely to celebrate the official centennial of the organization. And 2012 is known as the “Year of the Girl.”

newsenterprise@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — The Johnsburg Planning Board is one member closer to being fully staffed after the Town Board Tuesday, March 6 appointed Bill Moos to the unexpired term of Nate Pelton, who had two years remaining on his term.

“I’ve spoken to (Planning Board Chairwoman) Dottie (Osterhout) and she’d be pleased to have Bill on the board,” said Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow. “I’ve known Bill a long time and I’d be pleased to have him on the Planning Board.”

Moos wrote to Vanselow expressing interest in being appointed to the Planning Board and has been attending Planning Board meetings in recent months.

“I’ve known Billy a long time,” said Town Board Member Peter Olesheski. “I’ve had

some long conversations with him. He’s a younger guy. He grew up here. He’s getting strong roots here ... He wants to help and do something positive.”

Vanselow said he felt comfortable appointing Moos to the vacancy on the Planning Board without going through the formality of an interview.

But resident Bob Nessle questioned the wisdom of doing so, saying that if Vanselow appointed Moos without interviewing him, the next person to apply for a position on the Planning Board might expect the same treatment.

“It opens a can of worms,” Nessle said.

But Vanselow pointed out that the last individual appointed to the Planning Board, Janet Konis, was appointed without a formal interview.

“She was a known entity,” Vanselow said by way of explanation, adding that appointments to the Planning Board are up to the

Scholarships for DEC camps available WARRENSBURG — Girls and boys living within the Adirondack Park, age 11-17, are eligible to apply for a full scholarship to attend one summertime week of Environmental Education Camp at Camp Colby, near Saranac Lake or Pack Forest Camp, near Warrensburg.

All that is required is a sincere interest in living in the outdoors in a natural setting with other campers and in participating in fun activ-

ities, classes, and games that teach the wise use of natural resources. Scholarships are based on interest, not need.

Camping sessions run from Sunday afternoon to Saturday morning, July 1 through Aug. 18 and are designed to serve specific age groups. Youth Camps are for ages 11-13 (ten year olds can apply if they will turn 11

by Dec. 1, 2012) and will be offered at Camp Colby and designated weeks at Pack

Forest Camp. Teen Camps are for ages 14-17 (13 year olds can apply if they will turn 14 by Dec. 1, 2012) and will be offered only at Pack Forest Camp. Both camps offer age appropriate Sportsman Education.

For a scholarship application information, contact Jane Moon, PO Box 24, North River, NY, 12856 or at 518-251-9941. Deadline to apply is Monday, March 19.

Town Board to do as it sees fit. “It’s purely at our discretion.”

The board voted 4-0 to appoint Moos with Eugene Arsenault, Arnold Stevens, Olesheski and Vanselow voting yes. Board member Kate Nightingale was absent.

The Planning Board still has one vacant seat and one vacant alternate position. Any Johnsburg resident interested in serving on the Planning Board may send a letter to Town Hall for consideration.

In other business, the board voted unanimously to authorize Vanselow to advertise for and send out “requests for proposal” for the North Creek streetscape project. The proposal specifications are ready to be sent, Vanselow said, “thanks to much work by Wayne LaMothe (deputy director of Planning and Community Development for Warren County) who put together an RFP that passes muster with the state and fed.”

Those interested in submitting a proposal can get additional information at Town Hall.

Proposals will be reviewed at the April 3 meeting of the Town Board, Vanselow said.

Also at the April 3 meeting of the Town Board, Vanselow said he intends to have a discussion about how the town will handle preparation and upkeep of the town cemeteries. He said he’d like a plan in place in time to have the cemeteries in shape for the Memorial Day weekend.

“I’d like to get community input on how they’d like to see this handled,” Vanselow said.

The next Johnsburg Town Board meeting will be at 7 p.m., Thursday, March 22 at the North River Fire Station on Thirteenth Lake Road in North River. Vanselow urged everyone to be mindful that the meeting is on Thursday rather than Tuesday, the usual night the Town Board meets.

News Enterprise - 3

Many school issues discussed during Cracker Barrel newsenterprise@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Count this among the many charms of small-town life: Cracker barrels.

A throwback to the days when life was slow enough for people to sit around the general store chewing over local issues, cracker barrels — in this case at Johnsburg Central School — put government officials elbow to elbow with constituents.

At least as is practiced in the school district, the object is to give board members and administrators feedback and ideas for improving local education. There's no debating or judging ideas. It's just an exercise in communications in the hope that positive changes can be made.

The latest school district cracker barrel, held in the antiseptic cafetorium, Tuesday, March 6, included teachers, students, and for the first time, community members at large.

The visitors rotated in defined groups every 15 minutes among five tables, each anchored by a board member and at least one administrator, including Superintendent Mike Markwica and board President Bill Conner.

Each table had an assigned topic: curriculum, community, sports/communication, school/environment/technology and building and grounds/policy.

Suggestions could be categorized as those not requiring money — pep rallies that include the whole community, university-like class schedules for seniors — and those likely to cost money — roof repairs, class sizes, broader language curriculum, student laptops, etc.

That's a representative ratio of free/pay ideas flowing from at least one group.

Board members and administrators refrained almost completely from instinctively responding to ideas by saying money's tight. That point underlay all discussions, anyway.

The kitchen was open, serving coffeecake, cookies, coffee and tea, but the event lacked the genial spirit of an open house, and the refreshments mostly grew stale and cool in a corner of the room.

Helen Miner, a retired registered nurse who graduated from the district, spent some time in Raleigh, N.C., before resettling in the district, said, "This is a start. I know this is a hard time."

Like others visiting the school, Miner said she's confident that "some of the good ideas we came up with will be acted on" by the superintendent.

"But, we still didn't get too deep into some of the really hot topics," she said, like the seeming inevitability of regional program or even school mergers.

Miner brought the topic up a number of times, including in reference to sports programs. (She's not happy with the prospect, but realistic enough to know plans should be readied.)

Indeed, the pre-selected topics, while all important, hung off of or directly impacted curriculum.

At that table, where Conner sat, discussions were less complimentary and noticeably more focused.

Maria Glode, who teaches art in the district, sought assurances from the board president that art classes held the same weight in his mind as other disciplines.

(He said he agrees.)

Jeremy Williams of North Creek said that he's always been surprised at how such a small district could have such a robust arts program.

It was that program that convinced Williams, a social studies teacher at Queensbury Middle School, and his wife, Sarah, owner of Café

Sarah in North Creek to build their home in the district. The couple now has three children in Johnsburg.

Class size, counterintuitively for a district watching its young population fall, is a problem, said both Williams and Rachel DeGroat of Bakers Mills.

Combining two small classes can result in a large class that requires at least a teacher and a teacher's aide, particularly in kindergarten through fourth grade, said Williams.

DeGroat told Conner that it's increasingly difficult to put that minimum amount of resources in classes.

Chelsea Gazaille, an intellectually adroit 12th grader, followed closely the evening's discussions and spoke up with several ideas and insights. But is she sure that she would see changes if she returned after graduation?

"I do feel confident," said Gazaille, who lives in Thurman and whose mother teaches in Johnstown. "This is a small and tight-knit community. Instead of this (cracker barrel) being just the community and teachers and students talking to the board, everyone here is working as a team."

Glode, despite her prodding earlier in the evening professed no doubt that tangible changes would result from the meeting.

"I've been around these people all of my life. They don't take things lightly," she said.

Let the Year of the Girl begin

G

irl Scouts around the world are celebrating the official centennial of their organization Monday, March 12 in what is being touted as the “Year of the Girl.”

It was 100 years ago when Juliett Gordon Low founded the first Girl Scout troop in Savannah, Ga. Since then, more than 50 million American girls have developed leadership potential in their troops.

Once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout.

The organization has created a family of friends — a sisterhood — that transcends time.

And if you’re a Girl Scout, you’re in good company. Here are some famous Americans in the Girl Scout family: •musicians Taylor Swift, Sheryl Crow and Mariah Carey; •actresses Dakota Fanning, Lucille Ball (“I Love Lucy”), Lynda Carter (“Wonder Woman”) Susan Lucci (“All My Children”) and Mary Tyler Moore; •television personality Martha Stewart; •television anchorwoman Barbara Walters; •syndicated newspaper columnist Ann Landers; •tennis star Venus Williams; •professional race car driver Danica Patrick; •figure skating Olympic gold medalists Peggy Fleming and Dorothy Hamill; •Sandra Day O'Connor, the first female member of the U.S. Supreme Court; •and former first ladies Laura Bush, Nancy Reagan and Hillary Clinton, who is currently the U.S. Secretary of State. Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, was also a Girl Scout.

Girl Scouts, you are the future leaders of our country in all corners of society, including government, business, education, health, science, sports, media and the arts.

Those who are not familiar Girl Scouts simply know them for their cookies. But Girl Scouts know better. It’s a about camaraderie, teamwork, leadership, strength of mind, body and spirit ... and fun.

Former Girl Scouts at Denton Publications were eager to share some fond memories of their scouting days, from the 1960s through the 1980s. They remember community service projects, field trips, camping, canoeing and hiking. They learned a lot, and they highly recommend the Girl Scouts to any girl.

Joining the Girl Scouts is a great way to get away from the house — with 21st cen-

March 10, 2012

tury distractions like television, video games, computers and cell phone texting — and into new environments with a wide variety of experiences. It shows girls that there’s more to life than simply going to school and going home. There’s a world out there to explore, and the Girl Scouts can show you the way.

For those not familiar with Girl Scouts, here is a quick primer. Like in Boy Scouts, there are different groups based on age: •Girl Scout Daisy, grades K-1 •Girl Scout Brownie, grades 2-3 •Girl Scout Junior, grades 4-5 •Girl Scout Cadette, grades 6-8 •Girl Scout Senior, grades 9-10 •Girl Scout Ambassador, grades 11-12 The mission is to “build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.”

The motto is “Be prepared.”

The slogan, which has been used for 100 years, is “Do a good turn daily.”

Girl Scout Promise: On my honor, I will try: To serve God* and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law. And don’t forget that adults can join as leaders and co-leaders. While there are currently 2.3 million American girls in Girl Scouts, there are more than 880,000 adults in leadership roles.

The 100th anniversary celebrations are now starting, and there is a variety of activities planned. For example, many local troops are taking part in a nationwide Girl Scouts’ 100th Anniversary Take Action Project called Girl Scouts Forever Green, which is designed to reduce the number of discarded single-use plastic bottles and bags. There are parties, camps and fun runs.

The local council — Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York — serves more than 12,000 girls in 15 counties. For more information, visit online at gsneny.org. It’s worth visiting the website, if only to take advantage of the Cookie Locator to find a Girl Scout cookie booth near you.

We also encourage all former, current and future Girl Scouts to attend the Girl Scouts 100th Birthday Party — with cake and punch — at 4 p.m. Monday, March 12 in the Johnsburg Central School cafetorium. It is being hosted by Troop 3016.

Adirondack TREKS teaches outdoor survival skills NORTH CREEK — Adirondack TREKS had a successful Winter Survival activity on Feb. 23 at the North Creek Ski Bowl with retired forest ranger Steve Ovitt and Rick Morse leading the activity.

The nine children who participated were: Caroline and Kirsten Lomnitzer, Liam and Aidan Connelly, Brent and Weston Azaert, Gillian Hayden, Galen Hogan, and Jay Goodspeed.

Topics included appropriate gear for being outdoors in the winter, how to not get lost in the woods, and what to do if you do get lost. Everyone then donned snowshoes and went into the woods.

Huddling under the shelter

Ovitt showed how to build a survival shelter and discussed how to survive an unexpected night out in the woods. Then the kids formed three teams.

Each team built a survival shelter and compared its shelter to the shelters which were made by the other teams.

Lastly, the kids from one team scattered in the woods as though they were lost and blew their whistles to call for help while the other kids searched for and found them. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon.

Adirondack TREKS is an outing club for kids in the Gore Mountain region, including Johnsburg, North Warren, Indian Lake, Blue Mt. Lake, Long Lake, Wells, and Newcomb.

It is a nonprofit group which is dedicated to getting kids outdoors and learning outdoor skills. It is open to all youths ages 9-18; if a younger child wishes to participate he or she

Building a fire must be accompanied by a parent. There is no charge for participating in most events.

Adirondack TREKS is in its third year. Activities thus far include cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, canoeing, hiking, geocache exploring, and rock climbing.

The next TREKS activity will be a trip to RockSport rock climbing gym in Queensbury. This will take place on Friday, March 2. The leader is Joe San Antonio. There will be an opportunity to join 'Team TREKS' climbing team.

The program will held at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, March 11 at the Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek.

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a public works program that operated from 1933 to 1942 as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. In the Adirondacks, enrollees built trails, roads, campsites and dams, they stocked fish, built and maintained fire towers, observers' cabins and telephone lines, fought fires, and planted millions of trees.

This program is free to members and children; $5 for non-members. For additional information, please call (518) 3527311, ext. 128 or visit www.adirondackmuseum.org.

Warren County’s leader says he’d be ready to take on Assembly seat

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — One of the most prominent local politicians in the area has all but declared he’s a candidate for the state Assembly seat to be vacated Dec. 31 by Teresa Sayward.

Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Dan Stec of Queensbury said he’s giving serious consideration to running for the post representing citizens of the 113th Assembly District, which at this point includes Essex County, Warren County and portions of Hamilton County.

“I’m definitely interested, and I know I’m qualified,” he said in an interview Tuesday, March 6, five days after Sayward announced she would retire and pursue a new course in her life.

Stec joins several other area politicians that have expressed interest in the post: town of Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood, Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas, former Glens Falls Mayor Bob Regan and Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava.

Some politicians have traditionally advocated for geographical balance between Essex and Warren counties in state legislative representation — and state Sen. Betty Little is from Queensbury.

This potential doubled-up representation from the suburban town of Queensbury — and taking the seat away from rural Essex County — doesn’t faze Stec.

“We owe it to our taxpayers and constituents to find the best candidate possible to represent the region, regardless of where the person comes from,” he said March 6.

Stec said that his approach to governance — fiscal conservatism while providing vital social services — would be embraced throughout the district.

He said that as chairman of the Warren

Dan Stec

Teresa Sayward

County Finance Committee, he helped craft two budgets that reflected the two lowest tax levy increases in 20 years, despite escalating health, retirement, fuel and personnel costs.

The budget-crafting was accomplished while building back the county’s financial reserves, which were seriously depleted — and not using fund balances to make the figures look good, he said. “ We’re committed to making sure we are providing services the public wants, while getting the most value for the taxpayers’ money,” he said.

His fiscal conservatism has a deeper history, he said. For nine years during his tenure as town of Queensbury supervisor, the municipality had no local property tax.

Also, his administration returned $10 million in surplus back to the property owners, he said.

When first taking office as town supervisor in 2004, he was the youngest supervisor

to be in charge of Queensbury since H.Russell Harris, who was in power from 1946 through 1958. Stec served as town councilman for four years prior to his tenure as supervisor.

It was in 2002, as town board member, that he first sought the Assembly seat when Betty Little left the post open and ran for the state Senate. At the time, seasoned politicians advised him to gain some experience, Stec said, adding that he deferred to Sayward in her successful candidacy.

Now, with some silver hair in his sideburns, he’s achieved the political experience that was slim a decade ago. Now, he’s one of the longest-tenured supervisors of his town in recent history, he said.

“I'm about as experienced as you can get,” he said with a chuckle.

Among his accomplishments, he said, was his oversight of the $15.3-million project reconstructing the Northway Exit 18 corridor

Youth Baseball/Softball sign-ups NORTH CREEK — Sign-ups for Johnsburg youth baseball or softball will take place on March 10 and 17, 12:30-3:30 p.m. at the JCS GYM.

If you want to sign up but can not make sign-up days, please contact Randy LaFountain, 251-5119 home, 251-3311 work, or email goretaz@yahoo.com.

Free youth baseball/softball clinics for boys, girls

Softball clinic: March 10 and 17, 12:302 p.m. at JCS GYM for girls ages 7-12.

Baby Boutique now open

NORTH CREEK — Spring has arrived at the Baby Boutique at North Country Ministry on Circle Drive in North Creek.

Baby Boutique workers have begun to rotate their spring clothing and we have many gently used and new items. Stop in and see the variety of spring jackets, Easter outfits and much more. Make sure to stop by often as more spring clothing becomes available.

If you are still in need of winter coats or clothing please ask our volunteers as we do still have a supply.

Through donations to the Baby Boutique we have a plentiful amount of infant clothing for the summer months. We are in need of summer and winter clothing items for girls 18 months and sizes 3, 5 and 6 and boys sizes 5 and 6.

We would like to thank you for all of the beautiful and clean donations that have come in.

which provides a drastically improved gateway to Glens Falls, he said.

The complex project, which involved various agencies at all levels of government, took 10 years to accomplish.

Stec also said he was ready for the media scrutiny that accompanies an Assembly seat, noting that for 10 years, Queensbury town board meetings have been televised locally on TV8.

“People want to be comfortable with their candidate, and the public has seen me perform on my job,” he said. “Because of this television exposure, I’m amazed at how many people know me.”

Regardless of where the regional Assembly candidate hails from, he or she must be well-versed in Adirondack issues, political observers have said.

Stec said Tuesday he possesses such credentials.

He observed that he’s now into his second term leading Warren County, which has 94 percent of its land mass inside the Adirondack Park boundaries.

Also, he’s been regularly attending meetings of the Intercounty Legislative Committee of the Adirondacks, a group he chaired for a year. The panel debates various initiatives and issues that concern all the 102 towns and villages in the Adirondacks.

Also, Queensbury — although its considered suburban — has half its land mass within the Park’s “blue line,” Stec said.

In addition, he took on and accomplished a personal challenge to climb all the high peaks in the Adirondacks, not only as a way of keeping fit, but to fully appreciate the region’s character, he said.

“Last year, my pastime has been hiking in Essex County, and now that I’m a ‘46er,’ I’m very familiar with the rugged beauty of the county as well as familiarizing myself with the challenges it faces because of its ‘ruralness,’” he said.

Minerva fire, rescue busy in 2012

By Mike Corey newsenterprise@denpubs.com MINERVA — The year 2012 certainly dawned busy in terms of emergency responses and various activity involvement by the Minerva Volunteer Fire Department & Rescue Squad (MVFD&RS).

The 16 calls in January followed by the 14 calls in February kept the volunteers of Minerva’s emergency providers on their toes.

In addition to responding to chest pain, back pain, abdominal pain, stand-by, mutual aid, and chimney fire calls, the volunteers of the MVFD&RS have been busy attending classes and training opportunities. Seven members recently complet-

ed an 18-hour Emergency Vehicle Operators Course and three took a 24-hour pump operators course. Additionally, six members took a scene support class, with five of these going on to take a scene support operations course. All of this training, involving many hours, will help the volunteers improve their response effectiveness during emergency situations.

Currently, three MVFD&RS Emergency Medical Technicians (Meghan LeVeile, Karen Wright, and Greg Wright) are taking a refresher class in Ticonderoga; all three should be getting recertified shortly as EMTBs. The squad is also proud to announce that Cameron Dubay has recently attained

EMT-Intermediate on-line status, a great accomplishment. The MVFD&RS is also well along the way to purchasing a wilderness ambulance for use in wilderness rescues at all times of the year. Additionally, the department very recently received a quad runner ATV as an extremely generous donation.

The MVFD&RS is constantly looking for volunteers from the community who are willing to contribute as emergency medical services and firefighting volunteers. The department needs you. Please contact any member of the MVFD&RS if you are interested.

Lady Orange repeat as Class D champs

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Indian Lake/Long Lake Lady Orange have defended their Section VII/Class D girls title with a 38-30 win over the Elizabethtown-Lewis Lions March 2.

The Orange overcame a 20-10 halftime deficit with a 28-10 second half.

“We got out of sync offensively and never got it back,” Lions head coach Don Ratliff said. “We made a couple of key turnovers in the second half, and they made their foul shots at the end of the game. They made a good adjustment offensively in the second half and while we adjusted, we didn’t defend it well. We just didn‘t perform in the end” In the fourth quarter, Abigail Darling connected on a 17foot jumper on an assist from Morgan King at the 5:12 mark to give the Orange their first tie since 2-2 in the opening quarter. On the following play, Darling stole the ball at half court and scored on a lay-up to give them their first lead of the game. Darling finished with nine points, all scored in the second half and blocked six shots in the game.

“What a second half Abby had,” Orange head coach John Reynolds said. “Getting the boost that we did from her off the bench was huge because we got our confidence and momentum back.”

“I just love Abby,” Jessica Bain, who scored 13 points, said.

“To come off the bench and do what she did. it’s stuff that she always does in practice.”

“It was great for her to step in like that,” Shannon Farrell, who scored eight points, said. “She kept hitting those elbow jumpers, and when she blocks shots she has such great hands.”

“We wanted to prove ourselves in the second half,” Darling said. “After the first jumper fell, that just boosted my confidence. It makes me proud that I could help out the team tonight.”

Lily Whalen then tied the game for the Lions at the 4:30 mark of the fourth quarter with a pair of free throws. The Lions took the lead back when Clare Harwood grabbed an offensive rebound and found an open Kearsten Ashline for a 30-28 lead. Jessica Bain scored a jumper off a screen-roll play to then tie the game at 30-30 with 2:30 left.

Morgan Hinckley gave the Orange the lead back with a mid-range hook shot at the 1:50 mark at 32-30. Hinckley extended the lead, hitting a pair of free throws at the 1:10 mark for a 34-30 lead. Bain then added two more from the stripe to extend to a 36-30 lead.

Shannon Farrell connected two more free throws on with 6.2 seconds remaining, and the Orange were able to celebrate a successful title defense.

Morgan Hinckley added six points in the game.

“I think they just want to see the hair on my head turn another shade of grey,” Reynolds said of the free throws. “They shot 5-for-12 in the first half, and I guess they must need the pressure, because they finished the game only missing one.

It was the same with our game against Westport, we made the free throws and had to if we wanted to win.”

For the Lions, Shonna Brooks finished with 15 points, with only two coming after halftime. Lily Whalen added nine points. Kearsten Ashline added four in the loss.

The Lions held a 16-7 lead after the first quarter and a 2010 lead at halftime. The Orange had cut the lead to 26-22 af-

ter three.

The Lions were plagued with foul trouble in the first half, collecting 10 team fouls. Kearsten Ashline was forced out of the game midway through the first quarter, after picking up her second foul early. Clare Harwood picked up her third personal foul just before the quarter ended.

In the opening quarter, Brooks scored nine points as the Elizabethtown-Lewis Lady Lions used a 9-2 run to end the first eight minutes to give them a 16-7 lead.

The Orange will next play at noon Saturday, March 10, at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse in the regional finals against Section II champs Argyle, with a trip to the state final four on the line. Last season, the Orange lost in the regional finals to Chateauguay, who is coached by Reynolds’ brother, Tim. The Bulldogs lost in the Section X finals.

St. Patrick’s Weekend Celebration set for March 16-18

INDIAN LAKE — Whether you’re Irish or not, everyone is welcomed at Indian Lake’s annual St. Patrick’s Weekend Celebration.

On Friday, March 16, everyone is encouraged to come out for the parade, showcasing the Hat Contest. All kids are welcome to participate. There will be prizes for the Largest, Smallest, Prettiest and Ugliest Hat. Judging will take place prior to the parade in ILCS Crow Hill Parking Lot. The town also invites all dogs to join in the parade in anticipation of the “Mutt Strut.”

Friday evening will see a Volleyball Tournament at the Indian Lake Central School Gym-

nasium. Form a team of eight players to compete or just come out and cheer on your friends and neighbors. It is $2 per person or $16 per team. There is a $1 admission. The proceeds from this event will benefit Community Action and the local food bank.

Saturday’s events will include the always popular Irish Road Bowling, for the young and not so young. Registration and checkin will be at the Town Hall starting at noon with play starting at 1 p.m. This four-member team competition will have four categories this year. The Men’s, Women’s and Mixed Teams have to consist of four adults

over the age of 16 and the Family Team has to consist of four, with no more then three children under the age of 16 and at least one adult over the age of 18 and has to be immediate family. Preregistration forms are available at the Town Hall and the Chamber of Commerce. This year ’s coarse will be determined at a later date.

The weekend finishes up on Sunday with the “Mutt Strut” Dog Show at the Ski Hut starting at 1 p.m. The first year, this event drew nearly 50 contestants. Twelve categories were determined after the judges decided that there were too many different

kinds of dogs represented. These categories are Largest, Smallest, Cutest, Most Unique, Most Polite, Shortest Haired, Longest Haired, Best Dressed, Most Colorful, Most Talkative, Youngest and Oldest. Even if you don’t have a dog it is fun just watching the procession. We will be offering early registration for this event; forms will be available at the Town Hall and the Chamber of Commerce.

Local eateries will be offering Irish Specials throughout the weekend. For more information on the entire weekend’s events contact Vonnie Liddle at 648-5828.

Welcome Canadians from page 1 has been coming to North Creek for 11 years.

The ski center will be holding special events for the group, including a reunion party at the base lodge, inner tube races, a group photo and food specials.

Recognizing the importance of bringing those visitors to the business district, Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce officials are giving out welcome packages to members of this tour, including coupons for restaurants and other establishments.

“They come to ski,” said Chamber Director Pat Hamilton, adding that it has been a

Snowstorm from page 1 Hamilton said about the snowstorm. “It was a really nice weekend.”

This was also the first time this year the Hudson Chair — connecting the Ski Bowl with Gore Mountain — has been used. It was open Friday through Sunday, according to Pratt. Locals have been eagerly awaiting the

challenge attracting these skiers to downtown North Creek.

The welcome package and coupons are designed to help with that effort. Also, the tour will be showing a film at the Tannery Pond Community Center, and the Chamber has organized a special two-hour trip to Thurman on the Saratoga-North Creek Railway, embarking from the North Creek train station at 1 p.m. Thursday, March 15. The trip is also open to the public, and people interested in taking the train ride should contact the Chamber at 251-2612. It is $12 for coach seats (dome seats are already sold out).

“We just have to roll out the red carpet and make their visit more enjoyable,” Hamilton said.

chairlift’s opening.

Asked why the Hudson Chair is so important to the community, Pratt said, “It’s the heritage. When we put in the lift, we replaced the Tbar that had been installed in 1946. The goal was always getting back to the Ski Bowl.”

As for spring skiing, Gore Mountain last made snow during Presidents Week and is relying on Mother Nature and a deep base to keep

skiers happy through the end of the season on Easter Sunday, April 8. March is typically the snowiest month, so Pratt is optimistic about the rest of the year.

“There’s still quite a bit of time left,” Pratt said.

As of Wednesday, March 7, Gore Mountain reported six lifts and 49 trails open.

There was a base of 20-41 inches. And 14.5 inches of new snow had fallen over the past week.

Town of Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow reads to Johnsburg Central School kindergarteners in celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday on March 2. Readers from the Johnsburg community were invited to JCS to read to students in grades PreK-6 as a kick-off to Parents as Reading Partners (PARP), which runs through the month of March.

Minerva holds 90th birthday party for Barbara Curtis She was 1939 graduate of North Creek High

By Phillip Sherotov

newsenterprise@denpubs.com MINERVA—This past Saturday, March 3, the Minerva firehouse held a celebration in honor of Barbara Curtis’s 90th birthday. She has been an active and visible member of the community throughout her life.

Born in Minerva the oldest of six children, Curtis graduated fourth in her class in 1939.

She remembers her mother chiding her at the time, saying if she had just put in a little more effort she could have been valedictorian.

“Goodness! I didn’t want that,” she said.

“The last thing I wanted to do was have to get up and give a speech in front of everybody.”

Curtis still proudly wears her class ring.

“That was back when it was called North Creek High instead of Johnsburg Central School,” she said.

Her graduating class field trip was to New York City, where they were going to spend four days. Curtis still remembers the play they saw on their first night in the city because they almost missed it.

“They forgot to call for the bus to pick us up, but it all worked out and we made it just

in time to see Abe Lincoln,” she said.

Her family has deep roots in the community. Curtis lives in the house that her grandfather built a hundred years ago.

“She’s just always been here,” said her niece, Barbara Moehringer, who helped put the party together. “Most of the adults and many of the older children in town remem-

ber her from the snack stand at Minerva Beach.”

Curtis ran that snack stand for more than 40 years. She was also a Girl Scout troop leader and a longstanding and still active member of the Minerva Baptist Church.

Her husband, Jack Curtis, was also active in the community. He owned and operated a barbershop and beauty salon in town and

was in charge of the campgrounds during the summers. Their children, nieces, and nephews confess that they don’t remember the official name of the business since it was always “Grandpa’s fun chair” to them.

The couple met while they were both working at the GE plant in Schenectady. He was in security, and she in the payroll office.

However, it wasn’t long before they decided to move back to Barbara’s hometown. Jack had a barbershop and hair salon in Chestertown before ultimately deciding to move it closer to home. They had three children and four grandchildren, and now there are three great-grandchildren.

Reflecting on how the town has changed over the years, Curtis said, “Well there are more people I don’t know nowadays, but everyone is still friendly and there’s still a real sense of community here. It still has a hometown feel to it.”

Her other niece, Lynn Green, vice-president of the Minerva Fire and Rescue Department, said that they chose to hold the celebration in the firehouse because “so many of our relatives and friends live in this area that this made it a good central location for everyone.”

Asked how she planned to spend the rest of her birthday after the party, Curtis smiled and said, “Oh, I’m just going to hang in there.”

Town seeks to manage resources newsenterprise@denpubs.com MINERVA — Members of the Minerva Town Board considered various options for budgeting a road repair project during their March 1 meeting.

Members weighed the relative merits of having the work done as either a one-, two-or three-year project. At issue was how much of the fund balance should be used, how much should be kept in reserve, and whether there were other things the money could be spent on that would better serve the town. Using some of the fund balance money to pay off the loan on truck that the town had purchased was suggested. Board members decided to evaluate the benefits of the various proposals and make a decision at their next meeting.

Options for paving the parking lot for Minerva Beach were also discussed.

Specific concerns centered on different alternatives and the associated costs. Super-

visor Sue Montgomery Corey raised the possibility of a permeable surface that would allow water to pass through without causing damage. She indicated that there might be funding available and that this might also be a solution for restoring the tennis courts in town. The board agreed to take a closer look at these options.

Councilman Steven McNally introduced a motion to use $37,620 from the fund balance, in addition to the amount already budgeted toward payments, to eliminate a loan that they town had taken.

“It just doesn’t make financial sense not to when the interest charged against the principal of the loan is more than the interest earned by the money in the fund balance,” McNally said.

The majority of the board passed the resolution.

The supervisor spoke about the importance of developing a capital plan where all town resources

would be evaluated and estimates made on a multiyear basis for maintenance, repair, and replacement costs. This would provide a big picture view of present and upcoming expenses that would allow for more effective management of resources and would decrease the likelihood of being caught off guard by unexpected costs. After some discussion about the best way to create this capital plan, several members of the board suggested that all departments be asked to present a report with estimated costs for their resources for a given time period.

Councilman David LaBar said that he “didn’t want the lack of a capital plan become a stumbling block for making decisions.” He suggested that the board remain focused and plan follow-ups for establishing a capital plan for the town. The discussion of how best to implement a capital plan will continue at the next board meeting, 7 p.m. Thursday, March 15 at the Town Hall.

County supervisors vs legislators: Which makes more sense?

“

Just look how the county is floundering right now, because no one is doing the county business. They all look out for what’s best for their towns, not what’s best for the county —Former longtime Westport Supervisor Wally Huchro

By John Gereau

johng@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A little more than two decades ago, there was a groundswell of support in Essex County for switching from an 18-member board of supervisors to a five- or seven-member board of legislators.

Proponents pointed to a substantial cost savings to county taxpayers of as much as $250,000 a year and argued that legislators would be more apt to put county interests over those of a single municipality.

Armed with a petition signed by 1,700 county voters, a small but vocal group made up of Walter “Wally“ Huchro, Spencer “Spence” Egglefield, Ed Hatch and Gordon Davis succeeded in persuading county supervisors to place a question on the ballot in the Nov. 6, 1990 general election.

The question asked: “Should the Essex County Board of Supervisors appoint a Charter Commission for the purposes of replacing the Board of Supervisors with a County Legislature?”

Had the vote passed, the commission would have then made a recommendation to the board of supervisors, who would have had the ultimate decision of placing the change in the hands of the voters through a referendum.

Instead the effort fizzled, when voters, behind lobbying from town supervisors who opposed the change, voted 4,457 in favor to 7,234 against the move.

Faced with some of the most trying financial times in the county’s history, some officials are again saying that a cost analysis study should be done to determine if a legislature would be a more prudent governing body for the taxpayers of the county.

Reached for comment at his winter home in Florida, Huchro made it clear how he still stands on the issue.

“There is no doubt that a county legislature is a more accountable, more efficient system of government,” Huchro said. “Just look how the board is floundering right now, because no one is doing the county business — they all look out for what’s best for their towns, not what’s best for the county.”

Huchro, who served as Westport supervisor from 1968 to 1991 and also for five years as county administrator, gave a number of examples, from town supervisors each fighting to keep courthouses in their towns rather than centralize to the recent fight over privatizing the Horace Nye Nursing Home.

He said some supervisors simply could not vote in favor of privatization — even if they believed it was in the best interest of county taxpayers — because constituents in their respective communities did not support it.

“Take Moriah,” Huchro said. “Forty percent of the nursing home employees are from Moriah, so Tom (Scozzafava) has to vote in the best interest of his town, not the county. He can’t look at the big picture.”

Scozzafava voted against privatization.

Conversely, former Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew voted in favor of privatization just before the general election in November. Many of his constituents also work at Horace Nye, and Merrihew’s vote to privatize could have been the catalyst behind him being voted out, Huchro said.

Weighted voting Complicating matters, Huchro said, is the weighted voted system used by the county, which gives greater voting power to supervisors with the most constituents.

A board of legislators would have equal voting power, he said.

“Right now you have three towns that can basically control everything that happens with just one other vote,” Huchro said.

The “Big Three” as Huchro called them, are the towns of Moriah, North Elba and Ticonderoga.

Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava was also on the board in 1990, and was one

”

of the most vocal opponents of the changeover, arguing that a board of supervisors is able to better represent the needs of each town and the people they stand for.

He said during the 1990 proposal, Moriah residents didn’t like the fact that the town would be split in half, with two legislators representing the same town.

“People like having a single person to go to, having a town hall, a home base where they can come voice both town and county concerns, Scozzafava said.

The final tally from Moriah’s four voting districts in 1990 mirrored Scozzafava’s assessment, with 1,191 voting against the move and just 329 in favor.

Still, Huchro pointed out that seven of 18 Essex County’s towns voted in favor, and said many of those that voted against the move were fed misinformation from supervisors who were afraid of losing their jobs.

“They ran around telling people that the towns were going to lose their identity, when in reality they were just worried about losing their paycheck,” Huchro said.

Huchro said what many do not realize is that supervisors are paid salaries by both their towns and the county.

“They should be working just as hard for the county where they get their fringe benefits as they do for the town,” Huchro said.

“And it just doesn’t happen.”

Scozzafava now says he’d support studying the idea again.

“Looking at the complexity today of town and county government, I would support looking at a board of legislators again,” “Looking at the Scozzafava said. complexity today “The reality is of town and counyou get caught in the crossfire a ty government, I lot. It is hard to would support represent both.” looking at a board Westport’s of legislators current Supervisor, Dan Conagain.” nell, said he’d Tom Scozzafava also most likely Moriah Supervisor support studying a board of legislators, but said people should not be so quick to jump on the bandwagon simply because there may be a cost savings associated with it.

“First, and to me most importantly, if one looks at this as just the cost in salaries they are doing an injustice to a study of the two systems,” Connell noted.

Connell said there are many hidden cost benefits that come from supervisors representing their towns on the county board, such as shared services in areas like highway maintenance and grant writing.

Dan Connell “Other departments such as Social Services and the Health Department are in contact with town supervisors on an at least monthly bases,” Connell said. “This again in my opinion creates a higher level of service and helps eliminate some situations that might ‘fall through the cracks.’”

Board of Supervisors:

Board of Legislators:

Salary: $17,335 each, chair makes $22,339 and budget liaison makes $19,438. Health insurance is offered, as is a buyout incentive for those who opt for it.

Salary: $15,000 each, chair makes $18,000. Health insurance is offered, as is a buyout incentive for those who opt for it.

All seven are part-time legislators.

board of legislators in 1970. The 19 towns in the county still are represented on the local level by part-time supervisors, who make a salary that ranges from a low of $5,000 to a high of $16,000.

Health insurance is offered to only one Franklin County supervisor, Larry Miller in Harrietstown.

The seven members of the Franklin County Board of Legislators receive $15,000 annually, plus health benefits and reimbursement for mileage and other related expenses. The Legislative Chair makes $18,000 annually. They meet twice a month at the Franklin County Court House in Malone as well as periodically with the respective town boards they represent.

The seven districts are comprised of approximately 7,400 constituents each.

In comparison, Essex County supervisors are split, with 12 considered full-time and six part-time. Their salaries range from a low of $18,937 to a high of $53,857 and nearly all are offered health insurance through both the town and county, plus mileage and other related expenses.

A buy-out for those who opt not to take health insurance is also available at the county and in some towns. The buy-out incentive at the town level varies, at the county it is $3,000 for an individual, or $5,000 for a family plan.

Essex County supervisors are also paid $17,335 each from the county, the budget liaison receives $19,438 and the chair of the board receives $22,339.

Looking strictly at county salaries and putting other benefits aside, that means Franklin County’s Board of Legislator ’s make $108,000 annually, compared to Essex County at $319,137, a difference of $211,137.

Allowing more participation Ed Hatch, who now serves as supervisor of Willsboro, said he campaigned on disbanding the board of supervisors in favor of a legislature.

A board of supervisors is an effective form of government, Ed Hatch Hatch said, but only if supervisors can separate town from county business.

“Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen,” he said.

Plus, the time demand of representing both a town and county eliminates a lot of capable people from running for the post, Hatch said.

In county’s that have a legislature, like Clinton and Franklin, legislators have other full-time professional jobs, like teaching and operating businesses.

The system in Essex County makes it so those individuals cannot participate, and instead encourages people to make politics their life occupation, Hatch said.

“When they started making it their jobs — at every level of government — it changed everything,” he said.

While the concept of moving from a county board of supervisors to a legislature has been raised twice in Essex County, and defeated by voters twice, Hatch said it is time to address it again.

“I’d support a board of legislators,” he said. “It’s time, and it has to be done.”
