First park-wide demographic study released By Jon Alexander jonathan@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — Adirondack residents are indeed relatively poor, aging and under-educated and the area is hemorrhaging local youth — or so are the findings of the
Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project which was released this week by the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages. “School enrollments in the park have decreased 329 students annually throughout the current decade,” the APRAP states. “The
equivalent of the loss of one Adirondack school district every 19 months.” Local officials are calling the release of the huge plethora of data as a seminal event in Adirondack history which will define debate and discourse within the park for
generations to come. “It’s the basis for future Adirondack policy,” Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board executive director Fred Monroe said June 9. “We tried to just focus on the facts and to draw as few conclusions as possible.”
According to the APRAP the average median household income in the park is approximately $43,000 annually — about $8,000 below the national average. Meanwhile, housing prices are skyrocketing in many tourist-driven communities,

Enraged over job cuts, county workers march in protest By Jonathan Alexander jonathan@denpubs.com
County considers abandoning railroad By Jon Alexander jonathan@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Warren County may soon be out of the railroad business, as officials are exploring ways to remove themselves from the 16-year scenic railroad project without being required to pay back over $2 million in state and federal grants already spent. “We are looking at two possible paths for the railroad project,” Warren County Attorney Paul Dusek said June 10. “We have developed a request for proposals for a new operator for the 2011 season, but we are also in a dialogue with DOT where Warren County would potentially no longer operate the train at all.” The county-funded railroad project operates primarily from the North Creek Depot by Upper Hudson River Railroad Company. “I like the idea of untangling ourselves from the railroad,” Queensbury Supervisor and Warren County Finance Committee Chairman Dan Stec said. “We gave it a good college try for the last 16 years and now realize it isn’t working out.” Over the last several years, Warren County has spent approximately $2.8 million — $429,000 from the local taxpayer — to construct railroad platforms in Stony Creek, Thurman and Luzerne. UHRR announced last month that it doesn’t intend to stop at the three new platforms and that the county had not fulfilled their contractual obligation to build stations. For nearly two decades, the railway was envisioned as a way to bring thousands of tourists into the region year round, for skiing, summer vacations and fall foliage tours. But frustration among taxpayers and supervisors has intensified recently as costs and setbacks have multiplied, including a washout last month which rendered the track south of Riparius impassable, requiring more than $100,000 in repairs. The railroad project has cost around

QUEENSBURY — Infuriated with 24 jobs abolished and more pending, dozens of Warren County employees marched, chanted and yelled protests in front of the county Municipal Center June 10 as supervisors discussed further budget cuts inside. The cuts come at a time when the county faces a $6.3 million deficit in 2010 budget. “The big picture escapes the county supervisors,” Warren County Probation Department employee and local CSEA president Mark Murray said. “All they care about is their piece of the pie.” Murray said that the 24 job cuts and the dozens more firings on the horizon are a disgrace and will only work to hurt county services. “Social services case workers are already working flat out,” Murray said. “This is going to only put even more people into unemployment lines.” Facing the pending 2010 budgetary deficit, county supervisors have slashed the number of employees across the board and funding for numerous outside service-based agencies. Supervisors said that they are ready to renegotiate CSEA contracts, seeking reduced benefits, wages and incentives. “Come down and see the people whose lives you are trying to destroy,” a protester said through a megaphone, his voice intruding on the board's cost-cutting discussions inside the municipal

center. Local power brokers like Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec and the Post-Star editorial board were the focus of much of the anger.
Last month, the county board killed a proposal by Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Fred Monroe that would have hiked the sales tax from seven to eight percent. Both
Stec and the Post-Star opposed the hike, and both have called for cuts in county expenditures. Monroe estimated that roughly $16 million would be raised

County job cuts looming, supervisors seek union wage concessions By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — While government workers were picketing and shouting protests over job cuts Wednesday outside the Warren County Municipal Center, county supervisors inside moved ahead with their plans to abolish 21 positions effective July 1. Dozens of other jobs in county government will likely be eliminated if unions don’t offer wage and benefit concessions, and county department heads don’t come up with more cost-cutting ideas, officials said. The actions were part of an effort to reduce a $6.3 million shortfall predicted in the county’s 2010 budget.
If we reduce each de“ partment and program piece by piece, we tear apart our whole structure.
”
— Lake Luzerne Supervisor Gene Merlino “These layoffs were a last resort,” county Board of Supervisors Chairman Fred Monroe said. “We’re hoping that negotiations with unions will fill a $2 million budget gap.” County Budget Officer Kevin Geraghty of
Warrensburg said county Administrator Hal Payne had prepared a list of a second round of job cuts that may be implemented if union negotiations don’t produce substantial savings. Supervisors estimated this list to include about 35 employees’ names. Layoffs might total 100 if required to keep the 2010 budget from increasing, they said. Most of the county’s 20 supervisors met behind closed doors Wednesday with County Attorney Paul Dusek to discuss negotiating strategies with unions in upcoming negotiations. Lake Luzerne Supervisor Gene Merlino shared his opinions in open session. “Maybe it’s time for a 10 percent cut in pay,

By Jon Alexander jonathan@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Locally produced foods and products were aplenty June 11 as the North Creek Farmer ’s Market officially opened it’s doors at the North Creek Depot Pavilion. “It’s a sharing and community centered thing,” said market organizer Barb Thomas. “Buying locally made goods allows the community to grow.” Local merchants, farmers and bakers displayed their wares as live music played on the stage in the background. After over a year of work by Thomas and the North Creek Farmer ’s Market Steering Committee, the event began and will continue each Thursday evening throughout the summer. Of the 11 vendors present, such goods as maple syrup, baked goods, chocolate and crafts were available for purchase — all locally made. “With local products, you know exactly where it is from and what is in it,” Barkeater Chocolates owner Debbie Morris said. “I think the community support for this shows how much people want locally made goods.” And with the many goods comes a hint of local flare and culture. “I can remember riding on my grandfather ’s snow shoes as we checked buckets,” co-owner of Adirondack Gold Maple Farm Marc Kenyon said. “My family has been making syrup for three generations.”
Local cafe owner Sarah Williams displays her baked goods at the North Creek Farmer’s Market June 11. In its first year, the market will be held on each Thursday evening throughout the summer. Thomas said that market organizers are currently seeking to expand their produce and dairy offerings. “Vegetables are central to the farmer ’s market,” she said. While preparing for the event, Thomas and her peers spent hours reading literature about successful markets and visiting them throughout the region.
“We used the Glens Falls market as the model,” she said. “A market is not just a table by the roadside, it is a group of local farmers coming together.” The market was made possible by town of Johnsburg occupancy tax funding and funding from New York State Department of Agriculture.

WEVERTOWN — To allow for expanded social health programming, the North Country Outreach Center will hold a silent auction fund raiser June 28 at the Fern Lodge on Friends Lake. “It will be a very elegant affair,” NCOC event organizer Susan Murante said. “Dozens of local and regional artists, ranging from paintings to jewelry, will be highlighted.” Murante said the proceeds from the event will be used to fund a parenting class in addition to the center ’s dozens of other programs. Numerous paintings and photos of the Adirondack
wilderness will be available from artists and photographers. “I am so impressed with how much people wanted to donate to the auction,” Murante said. “It seems in times like this, people become so giving.” Murante said that tickets will cost $25 a person or $45 for a couple. Wine and refreshments will be provided throughout the event. “It is one of the first significant fund raisers we have done at the center,” she said. “It has turned into a big deal.” More than 30 artists will be represented, with a wide range of aesthetic appeal including the works of Dr. Dan Way, Woody and Elise Widlund and Judy Brown. The event will run from 2-4 p.m. on June 28. Tickets are available at Andie’s Restaurant or the Hudson River Trading Company in North Creek.

Railroad From page 1 $12 million — $629,000 locally raised — while generating little if any revenue to county coffers. According to Dusek, the county is exploring two very different approaches to the railroad project. A request for proposals seeking to replace UHRR as the operator is ready to be released as of June 12. But supervisors voted to delay the release as the county negotiates with the state to get out of the project altogether. County officials have assumed that if Warren County abandons the project it will be obligated to return over $2 million in state and federal grants. But Dusek said that there is a potential to abandon the project without owing the money if the rail lines were used for another activity, like a bike path or snowmobiling trails. But not all supervisors are ready to rip up the rails. “It seems to me that all of this talk of the railroad's demise is a bit premature,” Stony Creek Supervisor Frank Thomas said. “We have only tried one operator and maybe another one would be more successful.” But the minds of the growing list of anti-railroad supervisors may be already made. “People would like to find a way to back out of this,” Stec said. “We just have to do it right in a responsible way.”

APRAP town-by-town breakdown By Jon Alexander jonathan@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG — This past week the Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project — a $93,000 demographic survey — was released by the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages. Included with the 120 page document is a town-by-town breakdown of demographic data. Below is some of the information provided for each community within our coverage region.
Johnsburg: The population of Johnsburg has increased from 2,026 in 1950 to 2,674 in 2006. In 1960, 636 households were in the community, that number increased to 999 in 2000. The median age of a Johnsburg resident is 41.4 years, up from 35.5 in 1990. The median household income dropped nearly $1,800 annually between the years of 1990 and 2000. The median household income was $38,504 in 2000. 90 families and 63 other household units fall within poverty designations. Only 49 families were considered impoverished in 1990. Over 22 percent of the Johnsburg work force is employed in educational, health or social services. Nearly 15 percent are employed in the entertainment, food service and recreation industries. In 2000, 604 Johnsburg residents had less than a high school education. 826 were high school graduates and 289 had Bachelor ’s Degrees. In 2007, 60.2 percent of private property was owned by individuals with addresses outside of the Blue Line. An average residential acres costs $12,460.
Indian Lake:
Newcomb:

In 2007, 65.6 percent of Indian Lake private property was owned by individuals with addresses outside of the Adirondack Park. An average acre costs $25,243.
The population of Newcomb has consistently declined over the past 50 years. In 2006, there were 478 Newcomb residents, down from 1,212 in 1950. The median age of a Newcomb resident is 51.4 years. The median household income was $41,125 in 2000, down from $48,763 in 1990. 114 residents had less then a high school diploma in 200. 150 were high school graduates and 76 had Bachelor ’s Degrees.

The average residential acre costs $62,543.
Minerva: The population has increased to 793 in 2006, up from 681 in 1950. The median age is 41.6 years, up from 39.3 in 1990. The median household income has declined to $38,938 in 2000.

Over 22 percent of the workforce is employed in recreation and entertainment and 20.4 percent in education, health or social services. 47 households are classified as being impoverished. Over 71 percent of private property is owned by individuals with addresses outside of the park. The average residential acre cost $31,685 in 2007.
Massive Brandreth Lake development gains APA approval By Jon Alexander jonathan@denpubs.com LONG LAKE — The Adirondack Park Association gave the unanimous go-ahead June 12 to a large-scale residential development on Brandreth Lake. Brandreth Lake is named after the family who has owned approximately 8,600 acres surrounding it for more than 150 years. The plans call for over 80 total camps or homes to be built on the property over the next 100 years. The initial phase — which the APA approved — will allow the construction of the first 44 structures. The building footprints are not to exceed 2,500 square feet and the structures must not exceed 35 feet in height. The development will be limited to the northern-most 440 acres of the lake side parcel. “This applicant is unique in protecting the lake’s resources,” APA Commissioner Lani Ulrich said of the Brandreth Lake Association. The site plans call for a “gathering house,” a care-taker ’s dwelling, five commonly-owned guest houses and four boat houses.
Study From page 1 resulting in large portions of populations in the park's center who are ineligible to own homes by default. Roughly 40 percent of private Adirondack parcels are owned by people with addresses outside of the Blue Line with housing prices being dictated by second-homeowners in many communities. The largest employers in the park are correctional facilities, with public schools and municipal highway departments running close behind. Over 44 percent of Adirondack residents are employed in the public sector. The median age of an Adirondack resident is 43 years of age, while New York State as a whole has an average population age of 35.5 years. The report states, the
Adirondack population mirrors the retirement communities of Western Florida and are some of the oldest in the nation. In the past two decades Newcomb Central School District has lost more than 84 percent of its student body. Concurrently, the median age of the town has spiked to 51.4 years of age, making it one of the oldest communities in the country. Park-wide student populations have declined 31 percent since 1970, while the number of teachers has increased about 34 percent. After graduation, only 36.5 percent of in-park residents attend four-year colleges compared to 53.6 percent statewide. Nearly 13 percent of local high school graduates immediately enter the workforce, 7 percent over statewide totals. "This data is essential in understanding the communities in the park," Monroe said.
Because of the scale of the project, some commissioners said that a development specific water and septic system may be in order. According to APA Planner John Quinn, 42 small camps already exist on the property. Quinn said that a separate waste-water and water system is not required by current regulations and would result in more site disturbance than it is worth. Much of the property is classified as resource management area, but Quinn said that less than one-half of 1 percent of resource management land would be impacted. Quinn said that 120 members of the Brandreth family are interested in the camps. Commissioner Dick Booth wanted to require an agreement from the Brandreth Lake Association to seek no further development on the property. “I think to require all of the members of the Brandreth Lake Association to reach an agreement like this would be unacceptable to them,” Quinn said. A stipulation was added by the agency which will restrict the use of motorized watercraft, Quinn said. Environmental groups are split on the planned development with some calling the BLA a model land steward and others calling the project a threat to the lake’s health. The study states, 76 percent of in-park land is rendered unable to be developed after state holdings, easements and defined wetlands are accounted for. New York State has direct ownership of 45 percent of the 5.8 million acres which comprise the park. The 120-page study includes a CD-ROM which provides data from each of the 103 towns and villages sampled. Other topics of discussion include availability of technological infrastructure, unemployment rates — which tend to spike in off seasons — and types of jobs available. The total population of the park has doubled since 1950, but adjusted income levels have declined. Most of the population increases are in towns which sit on the Blue Line. The APRAP study included data provided by a 90 question survey, U.S. and state
Census data and APA data. It was conducted by the LA Group of Saratoga at a cost of $93,000. Throughout the study, a distinction is often made between municipalities wholly within the park and those only partially in the park.

A trophy from the Bank
W
Ti fishing tourney Speaking of fishing derbies, the Ti Elks youth fishing tournament was held under sunny skies June 6 and was a resounding success. Get hooked on fishing, not on drugs! is the motto of the Ticonderoga Elks Lodge 1494 Take a Kid Fishing program. The tournament is a catch and release event where all fish are measured for judging and them safely released. Drug Awareness, Good Sportsmanship, Water Safety and Conservation are important aspects of this tourney. Complimentary hot dogs, hamburgers, soda and snacks were served until noon. Norman St. Pierre from Norm’s Bait Shop handed out the prizes. The winners are named below.
ith Fathers Day just around the corner, the 28th annual Lake Champlain International Father’s Day Derby is rapidly approaching. Presented by Yamaha, the LCI is the longest running, family oriented fishing tournament in the country. Recently, while reading a promotional story about the derby, I was intrigued by a quote advising anglers that “a boat isn’t always necessary to compete. All rivers defined as Lake Champlain waters by New York and Vermont are open — and winning fish have come from the banks before.” Fishing rivers, exclusively from the banks, was something I had never considered for derby competitors. However, the potential for catching a large fish on the river or at their mouth is considerable. Area rivers, currently running with high, cloudy waters are full of food. They are certain to attract fish from the big lake. I think it would be great if some kid and his dad took a trophy fish that topped the LCI leader board, while sitting on a river bank.
Bass on the Fly
My son, Harrison and daughter, Malena show off the trout they caught during last year’s youth fishing derby in Westport. Youth fishing derbies could be a thing of the past in some Warren County towns if county supervisors decide to shutter the Warren County trout hatchery.
County hatchery a must save
Winners of the 7-9 age category were: Samantha Manley, Delaney Reeves and Ayden Dube.
M
y son, Harrison, caught his first trout at the young age of 3, thanks to the folks who make the Westport Fishing Derby possible every year. Kids around the region are afforded similar experiences around this time each year, and I can’t say enough good things about the people who help make that happen. Teach a kid to fish and you are giving them a healthy life skill they will take with them always. Many kids would never get the opportunity to participate in this worthwhile outdoor pursuit if it were not for these derbies and the people who organize them. The workers at the county-operated fish hatcheries in Warren and Essex counties are a huge part of making this happen. I want to personally thank these people for what they do, as well as our county leaders for recognizing the importance of funding these facilities. Unfortunately, however, Warren County supervisors are considering axing the $100,000 it takes to operate their county trout hatchery — a casualty of their multi-million dollar budget deficit. Supervisors were to vote on the move at their June 10 meeting, but set the decision aside in order to find out if the state might consider running it. But, the state has said it most likely would not raise trout there, meaning the 25,000 trout and salmon raised at the facility would no longer hit local waters. That, quite simply, is a shame. Put aside the fact the $100,000 comes back tenfold in the revenue spent by fisherman visiting the region because of its astounding trout fishing. Put aside the fact many county taxpayers are also anglers and the premier stocking done by these hatcheries gives a tangible return. Set those considerations aside for a moment, and consider the impact the hatcheries have on the lives of our children. Like its Essex County counterpart, the Warren County hatchery stocks for kids fishing derbies in a number of local communities, and stocks places like Hovey Pond as well as other popular roadside destinations for young anglers. Aren’t the smiles on the faces of these youngsters worth the $100,000 investment? My own son still has the glass fish he was awarded for the trout he caught years ago. He cherishes it, as he does the memory of catching his first fish. I ask you, should we take that memory away from future generations? Supervisors: Find somewhere else to make up your budget shortfall. John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications and an avid outdoorsman. He can be reached at johng@denpubs.com.
Winners of the 10-12 age category were: Nathan McLaughlin, Kassidy Bradley and Sheila Jordon.
The winners of the 13-14 age category were: Charily McLaughlin, Kenny Bell and Clifford Bell.
Cast a line Fishing Calendar (DARKER SHADES INDICATE BEST DAYS)
While growing up in Elizabethtown, I had few opportunities to fish for bass. Sure, there was great bass fishing nearby on Lake Champlain or Lincoln Pond, but it required a boat. Since my major means of transportation was a bicycle — and later a motorcycle — the likelihood of trailering a boat was rather slim. I didn’t have much experience with bass until my senior year in high school, when I worked as a lifeguard at Lincoln Pond campsite. It was the first time I had easy access to a boat and I took advantage of the situation often. Bass responded quite well to my usual offerings of crayfish, frogs, night crawlers or a Mepps Rooster Tail, my “go to lure.” Some days, a slab of perch and a bobber was all that was required. At the time, there were no professional bass tournaments. There weren’t any million dollar prizes to be won by anglers decked out in fancy uniforms speckled with their sponsor’s logos. Bass boats weren’t even considered a type of boat. Bow mounted trolling motors and 200 hp motors the size of a washing machine hadn’t been popularized. A bass boat was defined as something that could carry an angler or two and floated. No flippin’ sticks or jerk baits. No NASCAR with a propeller. Back then, bass fishing was simply an alternative to trout fishing. I pursued bass when the waters were too warm for trout. And, I never considered pursuing bass with a flyrod until much later. I just didn’t think they would be attracted to a fly. I was finally introduced to flyfishing for bass by a guest of mine, early in my career. The gentleman, Mr. C.L. Gaines, Jr., hailed from Birmingham, Alabama, where he operated the Shook and Fletcher Supply Company. Staying at a local resort on the Saranac Lakes, he hired me for a week to take him flyfishing for trout and over the course of several days, we worked both branches of the Ausable and the Saranacs, the Boquet, the Salmon and the Chateaugay. By the afternoon of our fifth day on the water, Mr. Gaines asked, in his slow southern drawl, “Have you got any bass in these waters, boy?” “Yes, sir,” I answered, “We sure do. But I thought you preferred trout?” “Whaaale,” he responded, “I generally do. But, by God boy, there’s nothing more exciting on the end of a flyrod than a big, ol’ bass. Ya’all come by in the morning and we’ll fill a boat with ‘em.” The following morning, as we left the lakeside resort in a small aluminum rowboat, Mr. Gaines produced a large collection of bass poppers. The lake surface was a pane of glass, still and calm. There wasn’t a breath of wind. As he tied a popper on the end of a short leader, he proclaimed, “You’re about to have the most fun a man can have while sitting down.” Handing me the flyrod, he instructed, “Cast it to the shore wherever there is a log, stump or underwater brush. Let it settle and then give it a good yank, so it’ll pop. Then, hang on boy!” Always the ready student, I followed his lead and was startled by the results. I made a long cast to a shoreline littered with debris. As soon as I twitched the bumblebee shaped cork popper, the calm waters exploded as if someone had tossed a cinderblock. At the end of the flyline, a three pound smallmouth bass danced across the surface, tail-walking. It startled me! It took me a while to land the fish, but it was the first of many to come. In the years since that experience, flyfishing for bass has become an obsession. While it will never replace the joy of fishing for brookies on a small stream, it offers a thrilling alternative when the weather is warm and the ponds are quiet. My collection of poppers now includes imitations of mice, bumblebees, dragonflies and even a small redwing blackbird. And, I never look at a glassy lake or pond without hearing Mr. Gaines’ query, “Any bass in these waters, boy?” Boy, am I glad he asked! Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

he Bus Stop, Elephant Rock, Gunsite in and Gunsite out, Big Nasty and Little Nasty. These fun names really are full of meaning, but probably only if you’ve spent time in a large rubbery raft or kayak while paddling down the upper Hudson River. A trip down the 17-mile stretch of the Hudson River from Indian Lake to North River is one of those adventures that everyone who lives in the Adirondacks should have. I did, on Sunday, June 14. This was my fourth time down the river, but I still learn or relearn stuff, including: don’t bring anything that shouldn’t get wet (like a camera of any kind), know your left from your right (very important), and be ready to work with your raftmates on paddling together. Also, when the guide yells “paddle hard forward right!” and you’re sitting on the right side of the raft, do it right away. A group of five students from Minerva Central School —Giuliano Coco, Sam Kelly, Lisseth Mendoza, Chris O’Connor, Travis Salisbury — and one from Newcomb Central School — Garrett Norris — and I took the plunge and headed down the Indian and Hudson Rivers with Heath Bromley, an experi-

This was the first rafting trip for the students, and it turned out to be big-time fun for all. Salisbury, observed: “I’ve lived in Minerva for eight years, and I don’t know why I’ve never done this before – it’s great!”. With the uncommon amount of rain recently, the river ’s daily “bubble” from the Lake Abenaki dam brought water levels up, way up. The water that day was warmish, and it was moving quickly. I dis-

covered this post-lunch after falling out of the raft while passing through some river rapids that may have been of a “class 4” persuasion. Once in the water - with my PFD and helmet, both required equipment, thank goodness – and away from the raft, the river proceeded to shoot me what seemed about 40 mph through some heavy-duty rapids. It didn’t take long for Heath to throw me a lifeline, and I was picked up by another raft traveling with us. It was a neat experience, despite a somewhat distressing feeling of not being totally in control of my near
future. The weather cooperated fully for us, with the temperatures around 70, some breeziness, and no rain. We were wet on a nearly constant basis as we made the trip past Virgin Falls, the Blue Ledges, Kettle Mountain, and beneath the train trestle. Taking a rafting ride down the Indian/Hudson Rivers is an amazing way to get out, get wet, and get an intimate feel for how beautiful our part of the world really is. If you’ve been thinking of taking a rafting trip but keep putting it off, it’s time to get out there – it’s a wonderful thing.

That show was one of non-stop entertainment provided by the students — and a few staff and community members — of Newcomb Central School as they regaled the crowd in the school’s auditorium with the sixth annual lip sync contest, an event that has become regular and welcome and that brings out a standing room only crowd in downtown Newcomb. This event is sponsored by the Newcomb Central School Parent-Teacher-Student Organization. Starting with a version of Kool and the Gang’s “Celebration” and ending with an awards presentation and encore presentation of Jai Ho, the annual lip sync contest was a chance for everyone to enjoy the night.

Highway super has the power To the News Enterprise: I am responding to an article in the June 6, 2009 News Enterprise in regards to the Long Lake town board denying the four-day highway work week. The highway superintendent of any town does have the legal right to set the working hours of the highway department. According to Highway Law section 140, article 7, note 22 and I quote: “The highway superintendent has the power to fix the work schedules of highway department officers or employees. Working hours of highway employees is a matter to be determined by the town superintendent of highways, not by the town board.” With a four-day 40 hour work week overtime does not have to be paid after eight hours of work unless it is stipulated in a collective bargaining agreement or union contract with highway employees. Overtime is only paid after exceeding 40 hours. Many towns, counties and most recently the NYS Department of Transportation work four-day work weeks during the summer months. It has been proven to be cost effective for many reasons. Twenty three years ago I approached our town board as a professional courtesy and gave my reasons for a four-day work week then implemented the schedule. I would only suggest that all supervisors, town board members and highway superintendents refer to the laws that regulate their authority and duties before articles appear in the newspaper where false statements are made because someone didn’t do their homework.

t must be the human condition — to look at the sky and ponder — what am I? Who am I? Why am I?
This is one of those times for me. This week, my family will come together and collectively celebrate the life of my patrilineal grandfather, Dr. Bill Alexander and hopefully bring some closure for those of us left behind. When pondering these questions, I often refer back to those individuals who had the greatest formative impact on my personality and being. My grandfather — alongside his tangent offspring, my father — is one of the most seminal people in my creation of self. A walk around his “smoke house” yields so many clues to the character and personality of a man who I will so miss — that pungent aroma of pipe-smoke still pervasive in every scrap of fabric. His extensive book collection stands in-situ, as a testament to who he was and what his passions were. From the oft overdone Clancy novels to the works of Darwin — a host of quotes scribbled almost illegibly on the wall ranging in references from John Wayne to Plato — he was certainly a Renaissance man. In my youth, I spent a great deal of time at his property on Back to Sodom Road and it is this property that best stands to reflect his passions, desires and beliefs — many of which still live on through my father, brother and I. He had an almost obsessive desire to attain an IV League education and with five children and another on the way he accomplished this goal thanks to shear fortitude and the undeniable adaptability of my grandmother, Roxanne. Who would want to spend several years in a Manhattan closet-sized apartment with five kids — stacked in bunk beds? Although we didn’t see eye-to-eye on everything — most of our differences of opinion I would attribute to generational polymorphisms — he was one of the finest conversationalists I have ever met. We could talk about anything — from the innate human awareness of ‘self ’ to the planned development of North Creek. There were no boundaries or limits — anything to spur thought.
We surely had some epic debates and fits of discourse. Bill was a hunter, but also a man who would regularly rescue the orphaned fawn or raccoon trying to suckle its dead mother on the side of the road and work diligently to get the milk chemistry just right — as to assure its survival. He was a man of passion, a man striving to be “wellBy Jonathan Alexander rounded.” And for me, this is his legacy. Thanks to my grandfather, my foundational core centers around the Renaissance man ideal. I only hope to someday attain his level of this characteristic. Someone who could be equally comfortable running a chain saw or participating in an ivory tower debate. An intellect void of pretension, an every-man and a statesman. These are the values which I will spend my life pursuing. They are direct consequences of my 27 years of interactions with my grandfather. Bill will certainly be missed, but in each of us who had the opportunity to spend time with him, his legacy lives. My grandfather directly taught me so many lessons and indirectly even more through beliefs and knowledge carried on by my father. I hope you the reader can excuse this fit of nepotism, but with the impending event and Father ’s Day to boot, it seemed appropriate. I only wish I had told him how important he was in my personality formation before it was too late. I will never make such a mistake again and in this vein — I love you dad.

‘Stack’ for Best Deals id you know that most stores accept two coupons for the same item? Many stores’ coupon policies allow stacking, the term couponers use for pairing a manufacturer coupon (found in newspaper inserts and on the Internet) with a store coupon that the store offers in a local flyer or on its Web site. Pairing the manufacturer coupon and the retailer coupon results in significant savings for you. Often, a shopper who stacks coupons in this way can get items things for free. I know what you’re must be thinking: Free? Yes, free. Completely free. Let me give you a few examples of sales that I’ve recently enjoyed. Shampoo is on sale for $3. The store’s flyer has a $2 store coupon for the shampoo. I have a $1 manufacturer coupon for the same brand of shampoo. Using both coupons together results in $3 savings, and I go home with a free bottle of shampoo. Frozen vegetables are on sale for $1 a bag. The store’s Web site has a store coupon for 50 cents off, and I have a 50-cent manufacturer coupon for the same brand of vegetables. Using these together saves me $1 – my vegetables are free. Even when items aren’t free, they’re often significantly cheaper with stacking. A half-gallon of organic milk is on sale for $3. The store’s Web site has a store coupon for $1.75 off this brand of milk. This milk also has a Web site with a printable manufacturer coupon for 50 cents off a half-gallon. Now, my carton of organic milk is just 75 cents. Learning that stores allow customers to stack coupons is a revelation to new coupon users, and stacking is a big factor in bringing your total grocery bill down to a manageable level. When I go to the grocery store, almost every item I buy is significantly less than the price most other people pay. I buy items with coupons when the items are at their lowest point in the sales cycle, and I
stack store and manufacturer coupons together to achieve the lowest prices possible. Inevitably, people ask me if the store loses money when people use coupons to get items for free or at extremely low prices. The answer is no. The By Jill Cataldo product manufacturers that offer the coupons reimburse the store for the full value of the coupon, plus an 8- to 12-cent handling fee. So, the store actually makes more money when people use coupons. If I use 30 coupons in one shopping trip, the store will make an additional $2.40 just in handling fees alone – plus they will be reimbursed the full face value of each coupon. Coupons pay for a big part of my grocery bill, and my store earns more because I use coupons regularly. It’s best to think of your coupons as cash. When my Sunday newspaper arrives, I immediately bring it in, pull the coupon inserts out, stick them in a folder… and that’s it. I don’t waste time cutting them out or sorting them by product or type or even looking at them until I’m actually ready to go shopping for the week. You don’t have to be a highly organized person to use coupons, but when you start viewing them as cash, you treat them with the same care and organization that you would paper money. The average Sunday newspaper has at least $40 worth of coupons inside. Would you leave $40 cash lying around the house to get lost among other papers and magazines?

INDIAN LAKE — Verizon cell towers in Indian Lake and Blue Mountain Lake received approval from the town planning board earlier this month and officials expect construction to begin soon. Last month, the planning board tabled the issue after a few Blue Mountain Lake residents questioned the placement of the tower. The plans call for a tower to be constructed at the Blue Mountain Lake fire house, but some residents noticed that the footprint of the 39-foot-tall tower would lie on top of the department’s septic system. Others argued that placing the tower across the street from the local beach would not maintain aesthetic principles. “This project has nothing to do with the septic system,” Indian Lake Supervisor Barry Hutchins said recently. Hutchins said that although a 60-day public comment period has expired, construction will be delayed for an additional 30 days for a public “reactionary period.” “We fully expect the tower to be up and running by early fall,” Hutchins said. He said that the towers are instrumental pieces in developing a 21st century local economy. “These towers will serve the multitudes as well as give residents and visitors alike the opportunity to do business in Indian Lake,” he said.

Indian Lake Central School students and the Indian Lake American Legion celebrated Flag day June 12 with a parade and flag raising ceremony.
INDIAN LAKE — Indian Lake Central School fifth grade students have been exploring local history and, with help from the Adirondack Museum, finished a video which chronicles the culture and life of Adirondack residents. “It’s important to capture stories before they are gone forever,” Adirondack Museum Educational Director Christine Campeau said June 12. “This project teaches students how to listen and learn about their communities through listening.” The film is called Adirondack Tales and was, for the most part, a student directed production. The fifth grade students created interview questions, filmed the interview and edited the material resulting in a 28-minute dialogue with two longtime area residents — avid outdoorsman Dean Moulton and local business owner Bob Eldridge. “Anyone who tells you they are not lost doesn’t know what they are talking about,” Moulton said during his interview which focused on activities like hunting and trapping. Eldridge discussed what growing up in the region was like in the 1940s and 50s. “My mother always knew where I was — basically,” he said. “The most important thing in life is taking time to enjoy it.” Eldridge said that locals often take a “jack-of-all-trades” approach as season employment typically requires. Both men said it was an absolute pleasure to come in and work with the students. The project was the kick-off to Indian Lake heritage week and was made possible by funding from the Stewart’s Foundation.

and if the employees don’t like it, there’s the door.” He said wage and benefit concessions from employees were better than firings and shutting down programs. “If we reduce each department and program piece by piece, we tear apart our whole structure.” Merlino was reacting to the news that Warren County Cooperative Extension, facing a $116,500 cut, would have to fire four employees of their 10, and cut the programs they offer primarily to those of modest and middle income. Up until Wednesday, they were slated to be cut $235,000, which officials said would virtually close down their operation. Supervisors reviewed a budget summary prepared by Dusek, that indicated that the 2010 shortfall was now only projected at $2.1 million rather than $6.3 million if pending cuts were enacted. The summary included an anticipated $2 million revenue in one-time federal stimulus funds to offset Medicaid expenses, $750,000 expected to be saved by the abolishment of the 21 jobs, plus three more that are pending. Other savings include $177,000 from Workers Compensation rate reduction, and $300,000 from the rent avoided by county agencies occupying the new Social Services building. Another source of savings, suggested by Information Technology Director Robert Metthe, received praise from supervisors. He suggested centralizing printing computer documents, saving $150,000 annually in printer toner and maintenance. The supervisors cut the shortfall Wednesday by two new moves. They voted to reduce county employees’ mileage compensation from 55 cents to 40 cents, which is expected to yield $78,000 annually, and to cut their county-based pay by 10 percent, from $17,000 annually to $15,300. The supervisors also receive stipends from their town. Among those voting against cutting their own pay were Glens Falls supervisors Mike O’Connor and Bill Kenny. These decisions by the county Budget Committee are subject to a final vote Friday June 19 by the full Board of Supervisors.
annually from the hike, which would have relieved the local property tax burden by one-third besides easily covering the looming 2010 budget gap. Also, half of the sales tax is paid by those visiting the county, which has one of the lowest prevailing sales tax rates. “They should have at least considered the sales tax increase,” Murray said. “Spread the heartache around instead of putting squarely on the backs of the little guys.” Murray said the CSEA believes that the labor force should be spared and cuts should instead come from management. “From the supervisors perspective, we are really trying to minimize the human impact,” Stec said. But the CSEA doesn't agree with the approach. “It seems like the workforce always gets blamed for these things,” said Saratoga County CSEA president Ron Revers who marched alongside his union comrades. “We are the ones out in snowstorms and working in the nursing homes.”

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The numbers of drivingwhile-intoxicated arrests made in Essex County this year are down significantly according to a report released by the Essex Couonty District Attorney’s office. Essex County District Attorney Julie Garcia addressed the board of supervisor ’s Public Safety Committee June 8, noting the number of DWI cases county-wide have dropped considerably. “The report shows we are making some significant progress with regards to preventing DWI’s,” Garcia said. “For the first five months we only have 100 arrests – last year we had 100 in Ticonderoga alone.” Garcia said if the current pace holds for the rest of 2009, DWI cases in Essex County would total just over 200. By comparison, there were 420 DWI arrests in 2006. “That’s a pretty remarkable difference,” she said. Officials are crediting new prevention efforts in the county. Several towns that were seeing alarmingly high numbers of arrests were subjected to saturation patrols by State Police, Garcia said. In some communities, like Moriah, citizens have initiated grassroots efforts to prevent drunk driving by offering free rides home from bars during the weekend. Garcia said that’s led to a steady decline in DWI cases locally. So far this year, police have made 12 DWI arrests in Lake Placid, 10 in North Elba, five in Saranac Lake and one apiece in Jay, Wilmington and St. Armand. Garcia said DWI cases have increased in the town of Keene over the past month, with three arrests made through April and four in May. Garcia also updated the board of supervisors regarding the creation of an Essex County Victim Impact Panel, to be run by the STOP-DWI office. Most counties statewide have a Victim Impact Panel, and Garcia said they are effective in reforming individuals convicted of DWI. Convicted drivers hear firsthand accounts of the emotional and physical suffering caused by drunk driving. Garcia compared the setting to drug and alcohol interventions. The STOP-DWI office also runs the Prevention Team, which is similar to the Victim Impact Panel but targets youth who have committed an Alcoholic Beverage Control, or ABC, violation. “Rather than just have these kids do community service and pay a fine every time they get issued the ticket, we would really like to add the education component to that with the hope that they start to understand why we don’t want them drinking,” Garcia said. The prevention programs are funded using forfeiture money.
