Officials: broadband access crucial to survival of Adirondack communities

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com HAMILTON COUNTY — Local citizens, business owners and local officials in remote upstate regions should join together in lobbying the state and federal legislators to bankroll rural broadband infrastructure, government officials said this week.

At a broadband conference convened Aug. 19 by U.S. Rep. Scott Murphy (DGlens Falls), a panel of government technology officials, politicians and communications technology developers agreed that broadband access is critical to not only the economic vitality of the Adirondacks, but for the very survival of rural communities across upstate New York.

Howard Lowe, president of not-for-profit broadband developer CBN Connect, told the audience that his company had submitted an application Aug. 19 for $22 million of federal stimulus money to fund their project providing core broadband infrastructure in a 425-mile loop through Essex, Franklin and Clinton counties, serving 22 communities.

This optic-cable circuit would stretch in an arch

across northern New York from the St. Regis Mohawk reservation eastward through Malone and Routes Point, then south to Plattsburgh and Ticonderoga.

This circuit is expected to be extended through rural Warren and Hamilton counties in a forthcoming second phase of the proposed buildout, according to a contract the counties signed just weeks ago with CBN Connect. This initial circuit includes a spur serving Lake

Placid, Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake.

Lowe estimated that if the $22 million stimulus grant is approved, this initial broadband circuit could be operating as soon as spring 2011, and the Warren County extension six months or more later.

Served first would be the public entities, including libraries educational institutions, hospitals and clinics, and public safety authorities.

Various broadband carriers, Lowe said, would use this infrastructure — most all of it high-capacity 144strand fiber-optic cable strung along utility poles — to carry their customers, both commercial and residential.

The participating commercial carriers — cable companies and telecoms — would build out the “last mile” to the homes and businesses they’d service, he said.

lindsay@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — The international student program at Newcomb Central School has received generous media coverage since its formation in 2007. Superintendent Skip Hults along with the board of education hope to take this program one step further in the near future.

Recently, Hults and board of education President Steve Freiman met with Anna Fodor and Heather Loneck, educational aids to Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, to discuss necessary changes to education law. Their plight is to create an amendment that will change the federal law prohibiting international students on a F1 visa to remain in public schools in the United States for more than

Newcomb supervisor objects to destruction of historic structures on state-owned land

RAY BROOK — While the state Dept. of Environmental Conservation is defending itself against arguments from environmentalists who claim the agency is not being aggressive enough in removing structures from state wilderness, local officials are decrying that such destruction of 100-year old buildings lacks respect for Adirondack culture and history.

Under a mandate of the State Land Master Plan, the DEC has for years been removing or destroying fire towers, leantos and ATV trails. The practice has gained prominence as the state continues to acquire additional land for the Forest Preserve.

But for local officials, the practice of burning down 100year old structures is nothing short of ethnocide – robbing the local population of their heritage simply to conform to a vague notion of “wilderness character.”

Newcomb Supervisor George Canon would like to see the historic structures preserved. He serves on the board of directors of Adirondack Architectural Heritage, an advocacy group seeking to have Adirondack buildings recognized in the same manner as structures elsewhere. ”It’s extremely important not to lose our culture here,” Canon said Tuesday. “To lose that is to lose our way of life.”

In a letter published in a recent edition of Adirondack Explorer, DEC Regional Directors Betsy Lowe and Judy Drabicki defended DEC against attacks from those who argue the agency has not pursued the removal of non-conforming structures with enough vigor.

The letter observes that DEC has aggressively undertaken the removal of 10 fire towers on recently acquired state Forest Preserve. Sixteen fire towers have also been removed from state lands of other classifications. DEC has also closed 130 miles of Jeep and ATV trails.

An additional 97 miles of snowmobile trails have also been closed on recently acquired state land as well as 560 tent platforms and three lean-to clusters.

“DEC is engaged in Park-wide planning with a number of other state agencies to improve compliance with the SLMP,” the letter states. “We would emphatically argue that DEC is with the plan and working hard to meet the best interests of the public.”

But Canon argues that the systematic destruction of structures built by the ancestors of Adirondack residents — especially fire towers and swinging bridges – is a primary problem with the State Land Master Plan.

Canon suggested that before any private group or entity transfers land to the state, they should include a restriction that the structures must not be destroyed.

State From page 1 But DEC has maintained that its practice of destroying fire towers and other structures is in line with the State Land Master Plan.

“Non-conforming uses resulting from newly-classified wilderness areas will be removed as rapidly as possible,” the SLMP states. The document specifically lists fire towers as being non-conforming within wilderness areas.

Local officials are calling for the SLMP to be reopened to change the law regarding provisions they see as a brash lack of respect for the human population in the park.

But Adirondack Park Agency Chairman Curt Stiles said this week that agency reform and amendments to the APA Act should come first.

Proposed county job cuts may now extend to management

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Several new rounds of job cuts in Warren County government are now under consideration, as county leaders continue to struggle with attempts to keep 2010 tax increases near zero.

County Board of Supervisors Chairman Fred Monroe told the full board Friday that further job cuts were needed to prevent a 9 to 13 percent tax increase, unless other ways of trimming expenses were devised. County Administrator Hal Payne told the group he had identified 21 county jobs for possible elimination, for a savings of about $950,000. Monroe said that eliminating 40 more county jobs would bring the projected 2010 tax increase down to about 3 percent.

Payne said up to two additional rounds of job cuts beyond the 20 proposed would be necessary to keep the tax increase at zero.

Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed objected, suggesting it was time to consider axing upper management — even whole departments — to cut taxes. Specifically, he proposed eliminating the Human Resources Department. He said the county had operated well for many decades without the de-

partment of two employees. Other departments should be similarly scrutinized, he said.

We’re attacking Goodspeed said our line workers, the county leaders should compare their but it’s time we workforce levels now start to attack our with those of 10 years suits. ago, and consider cuts in the bureaucra— Sterling Goodspeed cy.

“We’re attacking our line workers, but it’s time we start to attack our suits,” he said.

County leaders refused to identify positions on the chopping block, but Payne said they were spread through various departments.

The supervisors tabled filling seven vacant job positions, even though county department heads said several of them directly generated revenue that the county would lose.

Public Health Administrator Pat Auer warned that not fill-

“

”

ing several nursing posts would mean the county wouldn't be able to handle the county’s routine caseload, which has been spiraling lately.

Monroe said the tabling action was temporary, and would allow those losing their jobs to have first option to bid on open positions.

The supervisors decided to meet in two weeks to review the staffing decisions.

Monroe said one option for balancing the budget remained, and that county leaders would be exploring the issue. Others indicated this mystery solution could be an early settlement of the trash plant contract, which could mean an early payment of $3 million or more to the county from plant operator Wheelabrator Hudson Falls LLC. The contract settlement would also free up millions of dollars of impounded reserve funds earlier than contracted for.

Others after the meeting questioned the move, saying the plant should be sold to the highest bidder, and not in an exclusive contract with Wheelabrator. Supervisors are divided on whether that’s possible, as attorneys and politicians have differing interpretations of the settlement contract language.

Monroe said services to residents might have to be cut, citing “super-sized” expectations of services by residents.

“We’re faced with very tough choices,” he said.

Past, present and future are harmonious for Upper Hudson Musical Arts

By Laura Cormack denpubs@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — In the mid 1990’s things started to move in an exciting new direction for the arts in the North Creek region.

The Dabroski’s, a husband and wife team and violist and pianist, moved to the area and began playing various local venues. The pair ushered in a new caliber of musical ability to the region.

With the inspiration of the Dabroski’s and the help of an active board of directors, the Adirondack Ensemble was cofounded, headed by Ken Murray with Mike Dabroski as artistic director.

The group has sponsored renowned musicians including Spike Wilner, Dan Weiser, and Ovidiu and Sylvia Marinescu.

They also sponsored a summer music camp that brought in many young musicians from the NYC area, combining them with talented youths from the Adirondacks. The camp featured a benefit performance by Harry Connick Jr. at Proctors Theatre in Albany, which funded the summer program.

In 2004, the Adirondack Ensemble was dissolved and became born again as The Upper Hudson Musical Arts Inc. It’s mission statement: “To enrich the cultural environment of the Adirondack Community with classical and other varieties and types of music and performing arts and to foster an appreciation and understanding of music in general through public performance”.

Don Greene continued to lead the way, providing necessary direction and leadership. The programs assembled by UHMA now include instrumentalists, soloists, choirs, brass and woodwind ensembles and violin and cello works.

Performances were once given at the Weavertown Methodist Church, but are now hosted by the Tannery Pond Community Center and continue to see impressive turnouts.

The people involved and responsible for maintaining the quality and diversity of the group are too numerous to mention individually. Many have given countless volunteer hours; the results have been outstanding in regards to the quality of programs presented.

The events have also been made possible through the help of the New York State Council on the Arts, which has aided in the success of bringing truly outstanding music to such a small, rural area.

“We wanted to appeal to an astute and educated group of people” said UHMA member Paul Cormack. The music brought in by UHMA reflected that, ”Hopes are high and the future looks bright, with a continually solid following and turnout for performances.”

Forthcoming is an exciting presentation of Lyra, a Russian a cappella choir on their tour of the east coast.

Lyra’s foremost mission is to bring Russian choral music into the spotlight; they will be presenting everything from folk music to the ancient songs of the Russian Orthodox Church, along with works from many Russian composers.

The performance will take place on Saturday, Sept. 5 at 7:30 pm in the Tannery Pond Community Center.

Upcoming events also include the Trio Casals Piano Trios on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 7:30 pm, the Ellen Sinopoli Dancers on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 7:30 pm and the Potsdam Brass Quintet on Saturday, Dec. 29 at 7:30 pm.

Youth committee seeks volunteers JOHNSBURG — Johnsburg’s Youth Committee is seeking volunteers to share their skills and enthusiasm with students after school from 2:45-4:45 pm. Volunteers controls the size of the group, the age, the gender, and the number of times the group meets.

The activity calendar has begun to shape up with archery sessions, a mask-making art class, and a basic canoeing class this fall, and gift-making, aeronautics, fly-tying, knitting, and X-country skiing this winter. A trip to the ACC Challenge course is scheduled for teacher ’s conference day, Oct. 9 for 5th-8th graders.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Trena Riedinger at 251-3263 or Kelly Nessle at 251-3739.

Minerva Youth Program wraps up another great summer Crazy Hat Day awards were judged by Mary Garrison, Fran Paradis, and Jen Thul.

Next up were the citizenship awards, given to a camper in each morning group who the counselors decided were good citizens throughout the summer program. These are campers who are role models for others in terms of friendliness, helpfulness and doing the right thing whether or not they knew they were being watched.

Citizenship means good character. These award decisions are rarely easy – here are the award winners for this summer:

There are many folks to thank in regards to the Minerva Youth Program for allowing it to be as successful as it was this past summer. Some folks may be missed in this accounting but if so, remember that your contributions were welcome and necessary. First of all, thanks to all the amazing staff, who stepped up when needed to fill temporary counselor needs that occurred here and there during the summer. Program staff this year included: Michele Barber, Mike Corey, Cameron Dubay, Ellen Eager, Lisa Fabin, Nick Jones, Alice Kelly, Danielle Lanphear, Whitney McGinn, Chris O’Connor, Stephanie Ovitt, and Lance Paradis. A special thanks to Lisa Fabin, who added Arts and Crafts to her list of important MYP tasks.

Thanks you to the Town of Minerva lifeguards who, day in and day out, did their job and then some. These fine lifeguards include Lynn Green, Liz Ordway and Heather Vanderwalker. Thanks to Katie Smith and her staff at The Stand for all their patience and generosity. Thanks to the Minerva Central School bus drivers Jamie McNally, Ken Smith and Bev West and coordinator Joe Gonyo for all their help during the summer. Thanks, too, to the Town of Minerva Parks and Recreation and Highway Department staff for being there when they were needed.

Thanks go to The Minerva Youth Commission for all its support of the program. And thanks to all those parents and guardians who prepared your campers for the beach, lunch, and the weather day after day. But, the greatest thanks go to the campers, who ranged in age from 4 - 14. You made the summer a great one!

NCS From page 1 one year.

Currently, international students can come to the United States on either a J1 or a F1 visa. Under a J1 visa, students are of traditional foreign exchange status in that they do not pay tuition, they do not receive course credit and after their year they return home.

Students on F1 educational visas pay tuition and are district students for credit, but can still only stay for one year. Neither visa allows for students to remain enrolled in public school for more than one year, while private schools can enroll their international students for all four years of high school.

During the immigration reform of 1996, an amendment was made to federal education law limiting the length of stay for international students in public schools based on unsubstantiated public claims. These claims stated that international students were not adequately supervised in the public school setting.

Since the development of the Department of Homeland Security, the United States government keeps careful track of all foreign citizens legally entering the United States, therefor deeming the claims of 1996 irrelevant.

Hults and Freiman presented this and several other talking points that revealed how a law reversal would benefit the US school system as a whole.

Of these points, financial advantage has become one of the biggest selling points of the proposed reform. Hults and Freiman revealed that this would bring substantial revenue to the American school system.

“This is now a billion dollar a year industry in Canada and we are sitting by the sidelines,” said Hults. “International students want to graduate in the US and go on to American universities.”

If reversed, the F1 law would allow students to enroll permanently and eventually graduate from public schools in the US. Currently, the only means for this is to enroll and pay expensive tuition at a private school.

“We will provide equal quality education with the Newcomb experience for a very fraction of the cost,” said Hults.

Hults and Freiman also met with the National School Boards Association (NSBA), who have a strong lobbying capabilities on Capitol Hill. The NSBA is beginning to put pressure on legislators and will eventually draft a bill that includes the proposed changes to present to their representatives.

Changing a federal law may be a lofty goal and will surely not be a slow process, but NCS is encouraged by the support of the school community as well as the town as a whole.

MINERVA — The Town of Minerva summer Youth Program (MYP) completed its six-week adventure on Aug. 14 with a busy and energetic morning of skits, jokes, awards and recognitions. The crowd was rambunctious and noisy, but it was an indicator of what the summer was like at an excellent beach, amazing concession stand and terrific atmosphere, all (and more) of which led to a fun and safe summer for the campers.

MYP staff and support personnel did a wonderful job throughout the summer, keeping all the campers safe while allowing them to have great fun. It was definitely an interesting time, made even more by questionable weather for the first half of the program.

Summer temperatures finally arrived during the second half, making for happy campers and counselors.

The following is a quick wrap-up of the awards and recognitions that were given the morning of Aug. 14 at the Minerva Lake pavilion. After the Minerva Yacht Club sailing awards, Crazy Hat Day awards were given out.

LABOR DAY “If Newcomb is going to survive as a school and as a town, our school must remain viable and this is a great way of continuing viability,” said Hults.

Terri Smith, teacher of 7-12 English at Newcomb, appreciates the international students program, not only for increasing the school’s enrollment, but for the differing perspectives the international students bring to her classroom.

“I am in awe of the twists that they put on the discussions,” said Smith.

Teaching English, Smith bears the weight of a lot of the extra work involved with hosting international students in that they all come in as English language learners. With the amendment of the F1 law, teachers like Smith would be able to see a tangible payoff for their hard work when these students graduate from American schools.

Smith looks at this program as a form of in-sourcing. According to her, Atruly liberal American education that respects all learning styles is something that the country has to sell. Offering that education to international students would be a positive for them as well as securing a viable community at home.

If passed, the F1 reform will provide an avenue for NCS to continue with its plan to one day build dorm buildings to host both international and urban students while they attend school public school in the US. NCS paints the reform of the F1 law as a win-win for all parties involved. If the program continues to succeed, Newcomb could see an enrollment spike into the hundreds, something they have not seen since the 1970s.

Through an organization entitled Youth For Understanding, NCS will host nine new international students during this school year.

hile it’s exciting to cut your grocery bill significantly with coupons, there are great ways to save on non-food items, too, especially personal care and cleaning products. Many national drugstore chains offer what the retail industry refers to as “loyalty programs” that often feature special deals on items in these categories. These store loyalty programs include coupons for store credit that shoppers receive when they purchase one or more of the promoted products.

So how do these promotions work? Here’s an example. In my drugstore’s weekly flier, the store advertises that if I buy a certain brand of shampoo for $3.99, I will get a $3 coupon at checkout. This coupon is good for a $3 reduction on any product sold in the store. It’s almost like a gift card. I can use the $3 credit to buy anything I want, it’s not tied to any specific item. These coupons typically bear a statement such as, “Good for $3 off your next purchase.” However, unlike a gift card, these coupons carry an expiration date, just as a traditional coupon does. This is the “loyalty” part of the program.

The drugstore wants you to come back in over the next few weeks and shop again.

Since I will pay $3.99 for the shampoo but will immediately receive $3 back at checkout for use on a future trip, the actual cost of the shampoo to me is just 99 cents. The $3 I spent on the shampoo comes right back to me in the form of store credit – the checkout coupon.

Now, it’s always fun to get money back when you shop. But the wonderful think about loyalty programs is that you can use coupons on the items involved in these promotions. And, using coupons in conjunction with the loyalty savings often results in big savings to you, the shopper.

With the shampoo example above, let’s add a coupon into the mix. For this brand of shampoo, I had a $2 manufacturer coupon. So, with the coupon my $3.99 bottle of shampoo cost just $1.99. I paid $1.99… and I also received that $3 coupon for my next shopping trip. This deal just became what I like

uly certainly continued the wetter and cooler trend that was established in June, with above normal precipitation and below normal temperatures. Some have even wondered where Summer 2009 has gone. For those businesses that depend on sunny skies and warm temperatures this has been a very disappointing Summer.

The average high temperature was 76.6 degrees and the average low temperature was 56.0 degrees, producing an overall average of 66.7 degrees, 1.7 degrees below normal. This was the third coolest July on record. The coolest July was in 2000 when the average temperature was 65.9 degrees. The warmest July average was 72 degrees, recorded in both 1987 and 1988. There were no 90 degree days compared to an average of 3. There have been only four 90 degree days in the last seven years. The highest temperature recorded this July was 87 degrees on the 29th and the lowest was 46 degrees recorded on the 6th.

Precipitation for the month was 6.19 inches, 2.15 inches above normal. This is the 2nd wettest July on record. The wettest July on record was in the year 2000 which, as noted above, was also the coolest on record This brings our seasonal total to 25.97 inches, 1.64 inches above the normal of 24.33 inches. There was measurable rainfall on 15 days with the largest amount, 1.30 inches, falling on the 29th.

When we figure that $3 coupon into the equation, I paid less than $2 for the shampoo and got $3 back. The store paid me $1.01 to take that shampoo home.

6 at 7:30 pm the Indian Lake Theater is proud to welcome, just in time for Labor Day, Irish actress Eithne McGuinness and her lively, dramatic and humorous one-woman performance about the life and struggles of the immigrant kitchen worker immortalized as Typhoid Mary.

This one act play, written and performed by McGuiness, brings to life the history of an epidemic that had a dramatic impact upon the cultural life of the nation and the Adirondacks.

In 1907, Mary Mallon, an Irish immigrant who had, ‘worked her way up from nothing’ to cook for New York’s finest, was seized from her place of work by the NY Board of Health. Accused of being the carrier of typhoid fever, Mary was imprisoned without a

trial on an island in the middle of the East River.

Eithne McGuinnes is an Irish writer and actor who first came to the Adirondacks to join the residency program at Blue Mountain Center in 2004, just two years after her unforgettable role of Sister Clementine in the 2002 film The Magdalene Sisters.

Her plays include: Miss Delicious,workshopped at Abbey Theatre, Dublin 2007; Tin Cans, commissioned by Dublin City Council,2006; Limbo, Dublin Fringe Festival, 2000 and 2001; A Glorious Day, public reading, Abbey Theatre, 2000; and Typhoid Mary, Dublin Fringe Festival, 1997, broadcast on RTE Radio, 1998and revived in 2004.

Mixed Media Textile Art Demonstration at the Adirondack Museum BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — Louisa Austin Woodworth works primarily, but not exclusively, in the realm of mixed-media textile art. She has sewn, quilted, and experimented since she was a teenager.

Woodworth will work on two pieces at the Adirondack Museum Aug. 27 Aug. 31. The demonstration will be held in the Mark W. Potter Education Center from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and is included in the price of general admission.

Both of Woodworth's demonstration projects are wall hangings. These large-scale mixed-media pieces incorporate fabric painting, free-motion thread painting, and fabric layering techniques. She will also display a completed piece entitled "Making Camp."

One hanging features a man fly-fishing in a guideboat with a large trout in the foreground. Woodworth will paint and stitch on this piece.

The second project titled "On These Shores," represents a new technique in Woodworth's repertoire. The background is painted on fabric and features a misty scene of Long Lake, in the central Adirondacks. The artist has printed historic photographs of her

own family, as well as photos of guides such as Mitchel Sabattis from the collection of the Adirondack Museum, on organza. The thin fabric with photographs is fused to the background material and then painted to create a ghost-like effect. Quotations from Seneca Ray Stoddard and other historical figures are also printed on the piece. Woodworth will paint on this wall hanging during the demonstration period.

Louisa Austin Woodworth is a sixthgeneration Adirondacker, a native of Long Lake. Her sources of inspiration are her ancestors - guides and boat builders in every generation - as well as the history and icons of the Adirondacks themselves. She began teaching art-quilting classes in 1999 and has been honored with awards at national quilt shows.

Woodworth's stunning quilt, "A Sight for Sore Eyes" is displayed in the Adirondack Museum's special exhibit "Common Threads: 150 Years of Adirondack Quilts and Comforters."

Local officials unnerved by APA shoreline survey Agency defends photographing sites

By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — Local government officials in the southern Adirondacks are criticizing the Adirondack Park Agency’s recent surveying tactic of photographing private property along waterway shorelines, characterizing it as an invasion of privacy.

But APA officials defended their actions this week, calling the survey technique as merely a method of establishing a much-needed database.

But area officials say the agency may be gathering evidence for future enforcement actions against property owners for land-use violations that they haven’t yet committed.

According to APA Deputy Director of Planning Jim

Connolly, the agency has been taking pictures of inpark shorelines from boats for the past two years. So far, the shorelines of 33 lakes have been photographed – with a special focus on the structures built on lakeside private property.

“It is providing us with a better database of what is on the shorelines of lakes within the park – a database of facts,” Connolly said. “It is an important practice for the agency when it comes to permitting and the protection of shorelines.”

But to Adirondack Local Government Review Board Executive Director Fred Monroe — supervisor of the Town of Chester — the float-by photography reeks of “big brother” government.

“The APA is photographing private residences with

the direct purpose of collecting evidence for future enforcement actions against citizens,” he said. “This is going on without probable cause or any other reasoning.”

APA Board of Commissioners Chairman Curt Stiles said that the practice has been discussed several times in agency meetings, although not with a great deal of fanfare.

Agency Legal Counsel John Banta noted that the primary intent of the survey is to establish a baseline of where the region’s shorelines stand at present and that the practice is legal and appropriate.

Banta argued that using the photographs for enforcement would be an atypical application – but is not out of the question.

“Enforcement applications are not the primary goal,” Banta said. “But I am

Rustic Furniture Fair returning for 22nd year BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — An Adirondack Rustic tradition is back for it's 22nd year. On Sept. 5-6 see unique interpretations of rustic found in handcrafted furniture, furnishings and fine art at the Rustic Furniture Fair presented by the Adirondack Museum.

The Adirondack Museum's Rustic Furniture Fair is medi a sponsored by Adirondack Life and North COuntry Public Radio and is

not going be naive about it either.”

But for Monroe — whose property on Brant Lake was recently photographed — and his local government peers, the survey is just an example of government trampling on people’s privacy.

“I had no idea who they were: the FBI, CIA, terrorists,” he he said. “I can just see this as something that is going to pit neighbor against neighbor for years to come and will have no redeeming value.”

cludes good nutrition and exercise - and know what your body needs to keep it in top shape.

If you’re just getting started on a new health and exercise regimen, or even considering it, it’s best to start with small steps. And the first step is the most important: Talk with your doctor to ensure you have a plan that is right for you.

Seeing your doctor for regular visits is the best way to ensure you’re getting the best advice and assistance for your particular circumstances. Your primary care doctor will monitor your weight and strength, check for underlying medical conditions at each visit, offer suggestions to help you reach your goals and address any health issues you may be having. In cases where better diet and exercise could work as well as a prescription, your doctor can develop a plan to help move you toward that goal of be-

ing well and fit.

The regular checkups (the Primary Care Clinic is open Wednesdays and Thursdays) are going to focus on wellness/fitness, helping people to understand that small changes - in their diet and in their exercise routine - pay big dividends over time. If you want, the checkups will feature a fitness evaluation and assistance in getting started with a progress plan.

A more exciting part will be the opportunity to use the services of and fitness equipment in the Physical Therapy Department - with assistance of the staff at the beginning - for your wellness plan. For a small fee - far less than you'd think - you

will be able to work on improving your flexibility and strength right at the hospital.

Once you have the plan in hand and the approval of your doctor, you can begin walking the path toward better fitness, more strength, and a healthier lifestyle.

Just remember: See your doctor before starting any exercise program, start small and build slowly. Adults should be getting two and a half hours of moderate activity each week, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Moderate activities include: riding a bike, canoeing, swimming, raking the lawn, and walking at a brisk pace.

How much exercise are you getting?

A thlete L evel T ransformations

By Bonnie Sprinkle

Just as it has taken time for disease to manifest, it will take time with exercise and healthy nutrition to reverse.

This is difficult since we are prone to look for the quick results. If I had titled this article “Healthy Living for Wellness,” or "Preventable Conditions: Arthritis, Diabetes, & Heart Disease,” many of you would not have read any further. It's a subject the majority of Americans are avoiding.

It's much easier to believe the above conditions are an unavoidable part of life, coming with old age. We live in a time of being better informed about health than ever before, yet preventable conditions are increasing at alarming rates. Medications and treatments are prescribed rather than looking at prevention. Weight loss has been the main goal with improved health secondary. Rather than knowing a bunch of numbers as a guideline to wellness, we should look more toward our well-being, using those numbers to track progress. With that will come increased energy, a sense of well-being, decreased waist-line, lower cholesterol, less risk of diabetes, stroke or heart disease.

An obsession with the scales will only continue to undermine better health.

As the nation looks to the next miracle pill our healthcare system is at its breaking point. It still goes back to each individ360 Quaker Road ual being responsible for Queensbury thier own well-being. We 745-0995 must take responsibility to 1-800-554-0997 fuel our systems with quality nutrition while Hours: Mon. - Fri. 9 - 5:30 participating in a reasonClosed Sat. & Sun. able amount of activity.

O

ne of the newest ads on TV claims “Athlete Level Transformations,” claiming this workout is for anyone wanting to accelerate their results and attain peak performance fast. For all but the athlete this could be a dangerous program, with great risk of orthopedic injury due to the nature of the movements used. So a fun session could end up being weeks or even months of shoulder, back or knee discomfort, further hindering any exercise progress.

Popular new TV shows portray very obese folks dancing like professionals, doing splits, flips and high kicks to see who can lose the most weight each week. All in the name of weight loss-fast. I want to see the “Where are they now” episode for these shows. How many participants were thrown into diabetes, thyroid issues or other illness due to the extremes taken on these shows? How many were injured?

Portraying effective exercise as needing to be the extreme boot camp style will for most people lead to giving up future attempts at fitness. These quick fix ads and shows have the same negative effect as the weight loss pills. Some big weight loss for a few weeks, then a plateau, then the big weight gain back, along with discouragement. How much better off the participants would have been with a common sense approach but, that doesn't sell infomercial products or make a TV show; too boring, no one would watch.

Almost 10 years ago the FDA asked the media to stop accepting ads that make false health claims.

They simply asked media companies to use integrity when accepting advertising for diet and health products. Some in the media were already following that practice, but many other companies did not follow that request. That effort failed miserably. It seems money talks much louder than integrity, when selling ads. It’s such a dilemma.

The FDA can tell people these products are dangerous and don't work, the public can even KNOW this but they will still continue to buy them hoping for the great results.

Those same people who refuse to heed the warnings are the same people who will look for a lawsuit if they have

medical problems related to the product. Can we really blame the companies selling these products when they are only giving the public what they want? In fact what the public is begging for.

The more society looks for a miracle pill and the next quick fix, the more real answers will be overlooked.

AROUND THE REGION • NEWS ENTERPRISE - 11 towns, such as Wilmington, Chestertown and Saranac Lake.

However, there is a palpable resentment I’m a composite from some of the of the typical park’s other communities over this Adirondack resident arrangement, while today. many downstate residents view the situa— Bill Osborn tion as living on the state’s dole.

“Lake Placid wouldn’t exist if the state didn’t subsidize it. Neither would Tupper Lake, if Sunmount closed,” argued June P. from Paul Smiths. “Our region needs a new industry. Sure, we will always have the service industry, but who wants to be servants in there own land?”

“The state has taken away the ability for many Adirondack residents to earn a living, they’ve locked up the land in regulations,” explained Bill Osborn. “They must invest as much money in the preservation of the park’s communities as they have in the preservation of the park’s land.”

“We need to find an environmentally friendly, low impact industry to bring their business to the park. We need to have economic development incentives and they have to be significant. We need software designers, production services, film or other employers,” Osborn continued, “and with the proper infrastructure, local communities can promote telecommuting so that their employees can take advantage of the quality of life options the region offers and still maintain a career.”

In essence, the Adirondacks can no longer be viewed as a giant amusement park for tourists and second home owners. If communities are going to thrive rather than simply survive, there is a desperate need for well paying jobs that rely on intellect rather than extraction.

The same quality of life issues, which many consider so important in attracting new business and new homeowners to the region, are rapidly deteriorating as school districts condense, communities contract and bright flight draws youth from their home towns If visitors begin to perceive the region as consisting of small, dying towns separated by long stretches of desolate roadways, the future of the park will be sealed.

The Adirondack region must offer more than a few, seasonally prosperous communities like Lake Placid, Lake George and Old Forge. The effort will require imaginative minds, creative opportunities and a major investment in infrastructure. If preservation of the land is the ultimate goal for the park, there must also be a corresponding effort initiated to insure the preservation of the park’s small towns. These communities are central to the ‘quality of life’ that makes the region so unique.

The endeavor will require a major investment in our youth, for they will determine the future of both land and community. We must provide them with an inheritance that offers more than busing tables or turning down beds.

“

A park in trouble, part II

L

ast week’s column, which focused on the “state of the park” and the dearth of opportunities for area youth, generated a great deal of interest and concern. Several readers remarked on the ‘Catch 22’ aspect of life in the Adirondacks.

Sue H. from Schroon Lake remarked, “It’s (the park) a beautiful place to live, but no one can afford to live here!

There’s nothing but low paying jobs, with few benefits or just seasonal employment, which requires long hours during a short timeframe. What kind of future is that?”

From Upper Jay, John L. asked, “If the state’s really worried about the future (of Adirondack youth) they should offer incentives to bring them home after they finish college. The federal government offers loans for medical school students, which requires doctors to work in a rural area for several years to pay off their debt. But, what could local students do around here after they finished college, work for ORDA or the highway department?”

Many changes have occurred over the years to bring about present situation, where an aging population is amplified by an exodus of youth. The last major boost to the region’s population occurred when the Northway was completed in 1967. After the interstate was completed, many Adirondack communities experienced an influx of newcomers.

Prior to the completion of the interstate, most employment opportunities were limited to just the local communities. The Northway allowed workers to commute many miles to work in the cities of Plattsburgh, Glens Falls or Saratoga. Before the interstate, road trips were limited to traveling on the winding, old Route 9.

In Elizabethtown alone, over a half dozen families relocated to town on the coattails of the new highway. Many of the newcomers were young professionals and most arrived with families in tow. Across the region, local school systems experienced a significant boost in class sizes.

Today, the trend has been reversed. Young people are leaving the park, while those that are returning are often

retired. Bill Osborn, director of Tourism and Economic Development for Hamilton County, is a prime example.

“I’m a composite of the typical Adirondack resident today,” Osborn revealed. “I was born here and left for business opportunities elsewhere. I made my money and decided to retire here. Others have done the same, but they settled for second homes and usually leave during the cold months.”

It’s a fact that children grow up faster today, with less innocence and greater pressures than ever before. They are exposed to more due to the proliferation of the new media.

Cable and satellite TV provide over a hundred channels, and the Internet offers even greater exposure. With the click of a mouse, today’s youth have the world at their fingertips. And often, what they see is much more interesting and exciting than what is available locally.

They watch their parents working at two or three jobs while struggling to get by and they don't want to do the same. Young people need excitement, they want to have fun. They need opportunity and many don’t believe it can be found here.

Unfortunately, many local communities can no longer support or offer recreational options like a bowling alley, a movie theatre or a gymnasium. There are a number of communities that don’t even have a local diner or similar social center, where kids can gather. Although local communities continually strive to provide options for visitors, they have often neglected to provide similar opportunities for their youth.

Is it any wonder that when the day comes for a local kid to get out of town, they jump at the option? Despite a plethora of outdoor recreational pursuits, there is very little else left to offer them.

Across the park, options for viable, lifelong employment opportunities have largely diminished over the past 20 to 30 years. The days of extraction industries are gone. The mines of Tahawus, Witherbee and Lyon Mountain have all closed. The forest products industry is similarly withering.

Today, the Ticonderoga pencils used by the children in Ticonderoga are no longer manufactured with wood from our local forests. Globalization has allowed cheaper wood from Malaysia to be more cost effective in the manufacture of pencils than the trees in our own backyard.

Small towns are atrophying from the lack of opportunity. We must begin to offer employment options beyond tourism. Communities need business, but businesses require consumers. If if weren’t for the friendly Stewart’s Shops, many North Country communities wouldn’t even have a local grocery store or gas station. The Olympic Regional Development Authority has provided a beneficial investment in Lake Placid, and it has in North Creek. A trickle down affect has also helped some of the peripheral

“Common Threads” to be presented in Thurman THURMAN — Hallie Bond, curator at the Adirondack Museum, will present her free talk, "Common Threads: Stories Told by Adirondack Quilts" Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 7 pm at the Thurman town hall, 311 Athol Rd., Athol.

A number of local people will bring heritage quilts made in the Thurman area.

Already promised are quilts from the estates of Mabel Baker Lillibridge, Katie Cross, Ella Baker, and more. Among those to be displayed will be a redwork signature quilt possibly made as a fundraiser for the Kenyontown Methodist Church, a log cabin quilt and a crazy quilt.

Around the turn of the last century, these were often made as fundraisers for churches and civic organizations. People would donate a small amount of money to have a name embroidered on the quilt, or might have six names embroidered on it for a quarter. The blocks typically have the names stitched in a wagon wheel layout. Some organizations awarded the quilt to the winner of a raffle or auction, raising even more money. This quilt bears the names of many local people as well as ministers from the Methodist Conference around that time.

Any area resident interested in bringing a

DEC, power authority might have broken state Constitution

By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — Some state Constitutional experts are claiming the agreement between DEC and National Grid to

allow the construction of the Rte. 56 power lines without an adopted amendment is clearly illegal.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation and the state Power Authority may be guilty of breaking the law for allowing the Tupper Lake power line project to go forward without a state constitutional amendment adopted by public referendum. The power lines running along the state Rte. 56 corridor are already constructed, mostly on private land or state right-of-way.

But a section near Sevey Falls runs through six acres of state forest preserve, which is deemed forever wild by Article 14 of the state Constitution unless an amendment to allow a remedial land swap, passes both state legislative houses twice and then survives a public referendum.

The Amendment has cleared both houses, but the public won’t vote on the land swap until November. And if it fails, the lines could hypothetically be torn down, according to constitutional experts.

Noted state Constitutional expert and SUNY New Paltz Dean Gerald Benjamin said Aug. 17 the fact that DEC and the Power Authority entered into an agreement with National Grid to allow for construction to start prior to a public referendum is nothing short of a criminal action. Benjamin is a professor of Political Science at New Paltz besides serving as Dean.

“Taking the action before having approval is a Constitutional violation,” Benjamin said.

In early 2008, DEC agreed to allow the construction of the power lines as long as the involved parties continued to pursue an amendment – a move that Benjamin said is illegal.

DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis said Monday that state

officials and legislators hope the referendum is ratified and this hinges on getting the message out to voters.

Grannis said, “We are going to keep our fingers crossed and do what we can to make sure it gets passed,” he said.

State Sen. Betty Little and members of the the Adirondack Council are lobbying the state voting public at large, drumming up support for the amendment.

“I'm very hopeful the amendment will pass given the obvious need,” Little said, referring to the frequent power outages in Tupper Lake.

Benjamin said that regardless of the outcome of the vote, the law has been broken. ”It’s very interesting because they will have violated the Constitution, but the remedy will not be available because you have already altered the environment if you built the facility,” he said. “Strictly speaking, they might be required to undo that.”

Peter Galie, chair of Political Science and Director of the pre-law center at Canisius College, said the power lines shouldn’t have been permitted until the public voted on the amendment.

“It strikes me as skirting the requirements of the state Constitution,” he said.

Galie, author of “The New York State Constitution — A reference Guide,” called the action “ridiculous.”

Little and Adirondack Council Executive Director Brian Houseal are both advocating for a land-bank system to be inserted into the State Land Master Plan to circumvent the need for constitutional amendments for future urgent Adirondack land swaps.
