County votes ‘Yes’ on sales tax hike proposal County budget hearing set for Dec. 10
Gore Mountain Region defined as ‘Purely Adirondack’ in brand Brand workshops scheduled
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

QUEENSBURY — After hearing that Warren County was in dire financial condition — with cash reserves considered the third worst in the state — county supervisors voted Monday to ask the state Legislature to allow them to raise the sales tax from 7 to 8 percent for a two-year period. The vote, with only six supervisors voting “No,” took place after about two hours of impassioned debate. Supervisors heard from county leaders and a financial advisor that bond rating officials were meeting this week, and the county’s credit rating was likely to be lowered due to the county’s depleted cash reserves. The vote did not include restrictions on how the extra sales tax revenue — anticipated to be up to $15 million per year — would be spent, but county leaders said after the vote that it would be first allocated to wiping out a looming 9.3 percent tax increase, then be applied to restoring the county’s fund balance. These cash reserves, they said, were spent in prior years to keep tax increases artificially low in the face of ballooning expenses. The 2010 county budget, totalling about $148 million, is subject to a public hearing 7 p.m. Thursday Dec. 10 in the Supreme Court chambers at the county Municipal Center. Supervisors said they’d entertain comments at the hearing on the proposed sales tax hike, as well as the county’s financial condition and pending budget. County leaders said that the lack of a financial cushion, combined with the 2010 budget gap of well more than $3 million, and a looming cash-flow shortfall, prompted them to vote for the sales tax increase, which many of them formerly opposed. Queensbury At-Large Supervisor William VanNess, who changed his mind this week and decided to vote for the tax hike, said that without a sales tax increase, county property taxes in Queensbury would soar 24 percent. "I will take the stone throwing," he said of potential outcry from his constituents. "I will stand up for what is right." Regardless of the wide margin in the vote, the sales tax hike is not a sure thing. The request must first go to the state Legislature for enabling legislation, then return for a second vote by county supervisors, as soon as late spring 2010. With four new supervisors joining the county board, the measure could be ultimately rejected. The sales tax hike could first be effective June 1, 2010 if the state Legislature acts on the request quickly, or it could be as late as Sept. 1, 2010, County Attorney Paul Dusek said. The request for the increase will include a provision that it will expire exactly two years after it takes effect unless it is renewed at that time by a vote of county board, he said. Prior to the vote, Glens Falls Supervisor Bill Kenny argued that the sales tax hike was not a mere one percent increase, that

NORTH CREEK — The Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce presented the results of their branding project to local chamber members, officials and interested citizens Nov. 18 at the Copperfield Inn in North Creek. Since February of 2007, the Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce has been immersed in a project to brand the Gore Mountain Region. With the support of bed tax monies, they commenced
the initial phase and hired the Glen Group of North Conway, NJ. The Glen Group is led by Nancy Clark — a former resident of Chestertown. “She really knows the area and the personality of the region, which is key,” said Ed Milner, chairman of the chamber ’s branding project. Conway presented the recommended branding including a new logo and other graphics, a tagline, and the “brand promise” for the region.

Johnsburg budget reveals lower taxes By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG — For the second consecutive year, Johnsburg taxes are down. Town taxes will be reduced by .01 percent. The total budget is $2,366,604 and is comprised of general, highway and library funds. The rate per $1,000 of assessed value is $111.757, which appears large when compared to other local budgets. This is because the town of Johnsburg uses an older budget system that does not assess property at full
value. “Our biggest concern is to protect the citizens’ ability to hold property within the town of Johnsburg,” said Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed. Highway funds held a major emphasis in this years budget for the purchase of new equipment and necessary updates. That portion is up 8.36 percent. Modifications were made to the town health insurance plan to move to a higher deductible plan. Individual deductibles are now $1,500 and family deductibles are
$3,000. The change allows for the town to use savings to pay deductibles and reap a net gain of $60,000. The town of Johnsburg also eliminated curbside recycling pickup. The effects of this decision resulted in the elimination of one employee and a budget reduction of $30,000. Goodspeed said holding the line on town budgets is becoming increasingly harder to do because of the current condition of county and state budgets. “Revenue is down all over making it very difficult to control taxes,” he said.

MINERVA — One of the oldest homes in the town of Minerva is also one of the most beautiful. The big white house that sits on the hill in Olmstedville has recently gone through some major rehabilitation. Due to the careful work of Barry and Peggy Mix, the old house on the hill has become a stunning bed & breakfast and a nice Olmstedville destination. The Alpine Homestead Bed & Breakfast, housed in a building that dates back to the 1850’s, offers four bedrooms and several common rooms. They are all beautifully and tastefully restored to their former glory. Barry and Peggy were instantly attracted to the house. “We saw the possibilities and wanted to turn those possibilities into a reality,” they said. Proved by old snapshots, the Mixes have worked to keep the house looking like it did in the 1880’s. Barry, who retired from the WashingtonSaratoga-Hamilton-Warren-Essex BOCES in 2004 and Peggy, who retired from Hospice of Washington County in 2007 have put an amazing amount of time, effort, and resources into the B&B. Retired, restless, and looking around for a project they could jump head-first into, Barry and Peggy bought the house in 2005. After about 18 months of restoration work, the two opened the business in 2007. “We have stayed in many different B&B’s and this far surpasses them all in every way.

Newcomb students live and learn in the Adirondacks respective avenues of the industry. Foresters, logging company owners, and state Department of Environmental Conservation as well as Adirondack Park Agency representatives were part of the panel. Panelists encouraged students to do such things as appreciate their surroundings, to ask questions of its history, to buy locally and to participate in the preservation of the park. “You live in a national and maybe even international treasure,” said DEC forest ranger Del Jeffrey. “I think it's very important to learn about the logging industry and its developments since early 1900's. I think it is important to learn about our history and culture because it instills a good work ethic in us,” said senior Brandon Poulton. The culmination Adirondack Fair featured Adirondack story telling, dance and the presentations of varying projects. Students and teachers alike were able to incorporate a logging theme into their school and state standardized subject matter, allowing students to prepare for exams and meet regulations while embracing their home and local history.

By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — Despite growing up in the Adirondacks, local students are still inspired by the learning opportunities that the park presents. At the beginning of the school year, Newcomb students embarked on an Adirondack Logging unit that would last until the end of November. The unit culminated with an Adirondack Fair where students presented projects, experiments and creative displays. Over the course of the past few months, students in grades k-12 have been exposed to their roots - the character of the Adirondack Park and its logging history. Elementary students were visited by Milda Burns of North River — a decedent of a logging family that dates back to the 1800s. “The whole school looked at how the logging community affected our Adirondack home,” said Newcomb Central School English teacher Terri Smith.

Grant received for trail from North Creek to Tahawus The exact nature of the types of multi-use intended for the trail will be decided as the project progresses by the communities involved, according to Fran Gotcsik of Parks & Trails New York. “We hope to create a trail that will best benefit the public good and be used by as many people as practical,” said Austin. “It is possible that the trail will be used by snowmobile in the winter, but that will be determined in later discussions.” Selection was based on level of community support and commitment to the project, clearly defined project goals, ability of the trail to increase physical activity levels within the community, and the level of need within the community. The amount of community support struck Parks & Trails New York and contributed heavily to their selection choice. “This special trail will attract people from all over the Adirondacks and surrounding areas,” said Sterling Goodspeed, town of Johnsburg supervisor. According to Dr. John Rugge, chief executive officer of the Hudson Headwaters Health Network, “One of the most important issues in the prevention of disease is ensuring that people get enough exercise. Clearly, the development of this trail will afford people additional opportunities for healthy lifestyle activities.” Parks & Trails New York will now join the Friends of the Upper Hudson Rail Trail, Inc. in meetings with the APA and other procedural activities in order to move forward with the project. Austin hopes to have the project near completion within five years. The average trail takes 10 years to complete. To find out more information on the project visit, www.upperhudson.org or www.ptny.org.
Presented to Friends of the Upper Hudson Rail Trail, Inc. By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — The non-profit Friends of the Upper Hudson Rail Trail, Inc. has been selected to receive trail development assistance from Parks & Trails New York as part of the statewide nonprofit’s Healthy Trails, Healthy People program. The program is aimed at helping New York residents develop more active communities and an enhanced quality of life through creation of new or enhanced usage of existing multi-use trails. Select communities receive support and assistance with technical issues, planning, public outreach, grant writing, fundraising, programming, organizational development and other activities critical to the long-term success of trail projects. “It is an honor to be recognized by Parks & Trails New York for this award,” said Curt Austin of Friends of the Upper Hudson Rail Trail, Inc. “Local governments are supportive, and the level of community enthusiasm is awesome.” Parks & Trails New York will assist the Friends of the Upper Hudson Rail Trail, Inc. as they generate community and government support for the creation of a 29-mile multi-use trail within the Adirondack Park between North Creek and Tahawus. The trail will follow the railway formerly used to haul ore from the National Lead Industries mine, passing through the towns of Johnsburg, Indian Lake, Minerva and Newcomb, and the counties of Essex, Hamilton and Warren.

Brand From page 1 “Your brand,” Clark explained, “is the set of values associated with your name and symbol in the mind of the consumer. A strong brand is critical to long-term success, as it shapes a successful marketing strategy, and communicates the unique selling proposition, the single most important point of differentiation, to the customer.” The chamber defines the Gore Mountain Region as including all or portions of the towns of Indian Lake, Johnsburg, Minerva, Newcomb, Chester, and Warrensburg — parts of three counties and more than a dozen hamlets. The goal of both the Glen Group and the chamber was not to reinvent the region, but to discover an existing brand to develop. “Our research found that the brand’s personality — characteristics most commonly associated with the Gore Mountain Region — include mountains, authenticity, genuineness, scenic beauty, peacefulness and tranquility, and clean, fresh air,” said Clark. “As someone who grew up in the region, I wasn’t surprised to find that the region is seen as rich in recreation, family-friendly, an excellent value, easy to get to and a place to experience nature.” From this, Clark and the Glen Group developed the tagline, “Purely Adirondack,” which sits inside their designed brand for the region and the logo. “Purely Adirondack is replicated everywhere, but you actually own it,” said Clark at the presentation. “The logo itself went through quite an evolutionary process,” said Milner. The branding process was focused on research. The Glen Group sought out available research on the current brand identity/identities of the Gore Mountain Region and its communities as well as visitor patterns to the region. Based on the results of research and surveys, Glen Group made three recommendations: 1) The region should be made synonymous with the Adirondacks, with unspoiled scenery and the peaceful and relaxed feeling, and that top activities should also be highlighted. 2) The region should cross-market seasons aggressively.
3) Packages and promotions should focus on families, couples and groups, with the understanding that typically women make the majority of family travel decisions. Longterm, focusing on families should pay off since there is a strong connection between being introduced to the region as a child and returning to visit as an adult. “The whole point of this process was to develop a brand that can now be incorporated into all the marketing, advertising and communications emanating from the chamber and its members,” explained Clark. “But,” she pointed out, “it’s not enough to put a new logo and tagline on ads or signs. It’s really important that the entire tourism community understand and embrace this brand.” The brand is now property of the Gore Mountain Region and all of its members and can be used in business advertising and promotions throughout the region. Those interested in receiving a Brand Identity Manual, the logo and more information on its use should attend one of the upcoming training workshops. The workshops will be hosted at Tannery Pond Community Center at 4 and 7 p.m. Dec. 9 and 8 a.m. Dec 10. For more information on these workshops, contact the Gore Mountain/Town of Johnsburg Chamber of Commerce at 251-2612. “One of our goals with this project is to attract people to the chamber so that they can utilize this brand,” said Dave Bulmer, chamber president. All of the chamber leadership is hopeful that local businesses and individuals will take this opportunity to join and see the branding effort through for the betterment of the region, Bulmer said.

t’s time again to answer reader mail from people like you who are learning to Super-Coupon:
Q: “I’ve been reading your columns with great interest. Prices seem so high right now in the grocery store. If I just buy the store brand of products, won’t I save more money than using coupons on the big brands?” A: This is a common misconception among new coupon shoppers. It’s true that when you compare the shelf price of store brands with the price of name-brand products, the store brands often appear to save us more money. But with rare exceptions, we can almost always buy the name-brand products that we like and prefer — with coupons — at an even better price than the store brand. Why is this? Quite simply, there are more coupons and discounts available for name-brand products than for store-brand products. If you look at your coupon inserts from the newspaper and the wide variety of coupons available on the Internet, you’ll quickly notice there are typically no coupons for store-brand items. Large, brand-name product manufacturers work hard to encourage us to try their products. They feature their brands and products in the coupon inserts, offering shoppers significant discounts to try them. Many times, it’s also possible to find store coupons for the same products. If we stack a store and manufacturer coupon together, we’re reaching an even larger savings on the brand-name item than we could by simply purchasing the store brand at its regular low price. As with all things, there are always exceptions. If your store happens to offer coupons for its own brands, that’s a great way to save. Here’s a perfect example. Recently, my store had coupon dispensers set up in the aisle offering $1 coupons for “any [store-brand] paper product.” During this sale, store-brand rolls of paper towels, boxes of facial tissue and packages of the napkins were all on sale for $1. Now, if you’re a regular reader of my column, you know that using a $1 coupon on a $1 sale is one of my favorite

ways to get things for free! Speaking of coupon dispensers, our next question this week pertains to them. Q: “I often see coupon machines on the shelves of the grocery store, but the coupons in them aren’t usually for things on sale. Is there a strategy for getting good discounts with these?” A: Absolutely! You’re right in noticing that most of the time, the coupons in By Jill Cataldo the store’s coupon dispensers don’t link up to the best sales in the store. That’s also true of the coupons we receive in the newspaper each week. Their greatest value comes when the price of the featured item takes a big dip. I regularly “shop” the coupon dispensers in my stores. If I see coupons for an item I like, I will take a few to hold onto until the sale price drops. About six weeks ago, my store’s coupon dispenser offered $2 coupons for turkey bacon. But the turkey bacon was on sale for $4.99, a relatively high price. I took a few coupons from the dispenser and held onto them for four weeks … when the price of the turkey bacon went down to $2.99. Now, I took home turkey bacon for 99 cents a package! If I had used those coupons the week I found them in the dispenser though, I would still have paid $2.99 a package — three times the price. © CTW Features

To the News Enterprise: As the Indian Lake Garden Club winds down its activities for 2009, we wish to express our heart-felt gratitude to the Indian Lake Parks and Recreation Department led by Richard Clawson. Rich and his staff, comprised of Bruce Wells, Jeremiah De Long, Bill La Prairie and Alan De Long are the quiet, unsung heroes behind the success of our annual beautification project consisting of planting and maintaining flower barrels in the hamlets of Indian Lake,
Blue Mountain and Sabael. In late spring of each year these gentlemen take the barrels from their winter storage, move them to the Ski Hut area, where club members clean and enrich the soil in the barrels. When this has been completed, Rich’s crew picks up each of the more than 30 barrels and strategically positions them throughout the hamlets in our Town. In the fall, after the town annual antique show, once again, it is these same men that retrieve the barrels for winter storage. Rich Clawson’s positive attitude and eagerness to assist us each year is an important part of the success of the Garden Club’s annual community beautification project. Thank you to Rich and his crew as well as the Town Board of Indian Lake for their expression of support by endorsing the efforts of the Parks and Recreation Department. Jack and Brenda Valentine Indian Lake Garden Club, Publicity Chairs

Tax Hike From page 1 it was really a 14.8 percent boost to the existing tax. He warned that such an increase would unfairly crimp the budgets of low and moderate income people. “People are tightening their belts and Warren County needs to tighten their belt too and not add taxes to struggling middle-class residents,” he said. “This tax increase will stall any economic recovery we are now in the middle of.” Board of Supervisors Chairman Fred Monroe responded that the county leaders had already cut about $7 million out of the budget, and regardless of how many more cuts were made, budget decreases would not replenish cash reserves that were spent in bygone years. While Kenny argued that the sales tax hurt the poor the worst and that sales tax revenues from tourism were understated, other supervisors disagreed. They said Kenny wasn’t taking the expenditures of wealthy second homeowners into account. They said that tourists and owners of resort homes would be footing much of the sales tax increase, reducing the property-tax burden of full-time residents. Luzerne Supervisor Gene Merlino, Horicon Supervisor Ralph Bentley and Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed noted that these second-homeowners, who have plenty of disposable income, own 40 to 60 percent of the households in northern Warren County, and shifting a revenue source of $14 to $16 million per year from property taxes to sales tax would indeed help relieve the local tax burden. Queensbury At-Large Supervisor Matthew Sokol, Gene Merlino and Goodspeed noted that while homeowners can’t avoid property taxes, purchasing goods is optional, and those who consume the most would be paying the most. Goodspeed said shifting $14 million per year from
property taxes to sales taxes made sense, because more people than ever were losing their homes due to the ever-escalating property tax burden. “This tax is not misguided,” he said, answering a charge by Kenny. “More people than ever are coming here begging us for help in saving their homes.” He said that more and more children of residents were choosing to move away because of the property tax burden. The audience attending Monday’s meeting applauded comments in opposition to the sales tax hike. But Skip Stranahan of Lake George, an advocate of limited government, said that he believed a partial shift to sales tax that reduces property taxes was reasonable, since as an 11-year-old, he watched his parent lose their family home due to foreclosure. Sales tax was less of a burden to residents and businesses than property taxes, he said, citing that property taxes were about to make industries like timber harvesting unprofitable. “You can’t grow trees anymore with the tax rates as they are,” he said, adding that the supervisors would have to use restraint in spending. “But I’m concerned that people in this government become accountable.” Jeanine Caruso of Financial Advisors had warned the supervisors that the county’s fund balance was dangerously low. While other counties nationally have a median average fund balance of 30 percent of annual revenues, Warren County has only 4.9 percent. "Your fund balance desperately needs to be put back in place," she said, noting that the county’s pending $23 million bond borrowing may cost an extra $350,000 if the county’s bond rating is downgraded from A1 to BAA1, close to non-investment grade, she said. Voting against the sales tax increase were Glens Falls Supervisors Bud Taylor and Bill Kenny, Queensbury Supervisors Dan Stec, David Srainer and Fred Champagne, and Thurman Supervisor Red Pitkin. All others voted "Yes."

County boosts motor vehicle registration costs By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — In an effort to close a looming budget gap, Warren County supervisors voted Monday to affix a surcharge on all motor vehicle registrations for county residents. This new Vehicle Use Fee will cost residents registering passenger vehicles an extra $5 per year, and for those registering commercial vehicles — which includes trucks over certain weight limits — an extra $10 per year. And since registrations are routinely issued for a two-year period, getting new or renewed vehicle registrations will cost $10 to $20 more per registration transaction. County Clerk Pam Vogel said this week she wasn’t in favor of the new fee, but she suggested it to county supervisors at their request to help raise revenues to close a pending 2010 budget gap of more than $3 million. The new fee, she said, should bring $300,000 to $400,000 annually into the county coffers. “I don’t personally support a fee
increase, but I had an obligation to inform the board of supervisors about it,” she said, adding that about two-thirds of all counties in the state impose the fee. Most counties, she said, dedicate the revenue to road improvements. Neighboring municipalities of Essex and Washington counties now charge the Vehicle Use Fee, she said. She said the new fee would be collected no matter where Warren County residents registered their vehicles, whether it was in an office in another county, or by mail or on the Internet. Voting against the fee were most of the supervisors from rural towns in the county. Several of these supervisors said the new fee, as it applies one rate to all vehicles, regardless of age or cost, would penalize those on modest income. Voting against the increase were Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe, Thurman Supervisor Red Pitkin, Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty, Horicon Supervisor Ralph Bentley, and Lake Luzerne Supervisor Gene Merlino.

Locals, environmentalists spar over Park’s future By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — After three legislative bills dealing with the Adirondack Park Agency failed to garner state Assembly sponsorship earlier this year, Agency Chairman Curt Stiles has now seeking input from local governments and environmentalists on re-drafting the APA Act. And with the potential re-drafting of the agency’s legal foundation, representatives from various groups are outlining what they would like to see changed in the APA. If adopted by state legislators, amendments to the APA Act could drastically alter the mode and operation of the agency and its authority over private lands in the Park. These stakeholders apparently have long lists of aspects they would like to see changed. Adirondack Council spokesman John Sheehan said Monday that h is environmental group would like to see more teeth put into APA enforcement. Unlike most land-use authorities, APA enforcement personnel typically cannot issue tickets for obvious violations. Instead, costly and lengthy hearings result when enforcers report the violation. The Council would like to have APA enforcers empowered to issue tickets or stop work orders on-site similar to other municipal zoning officers. Of primary interest to the Council is a provision in the affordable housing bill that would institute an agency subdivision permit fee. Most zoning regulating agencies charge fees for the permit process. The APA currently doesn’t charge a review fee and the permitting costs are now shouldered by state taxpayers. The housing bill is one of the three APA-related bills now stalled in the state Legislature. But if the bill did pass, such a fee would be instituted for large-scale subdivisions. “Especially for big projects, which take years in review, some kind of modest fee seems reasonable,” Sheehan said. “Otherwise the people of the State of New York are subsidizing the cost.” In early October, Stiles issued a request for input from local governments regarding changes to the APA Act. In response, the Adirondack Local Government Review Board and the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages drafted a 16page response, detailing numerous historical gripes that have long split local officials and the APA. In November, Stiles drafted a letter to every town supervisor in the park, asking for input. “When we talk about regulatory reform, we are talking about the act itself, the regulations which interpret the act and the State Land Master Plan,” Stiles said. “I would look at attacking them in that order.” According to Review Board director Fred Monroe, the overarching issue for local governments is a lack of influence at the agency. Created by the APA Act in 1973 to monitor the APA, the smaller review board has little sway in the selection of APA commissioners or influence over issues of concern. Monroe argues that allowing local governments to select or nominate individuals for vacant APA Board of Commissioners seats is a fair and reasonable request and would go a long way in balancing the needs of the state with those of the local population. “If you have adequate representation, then you feel like your interests are protected,” Monroe said. Three APA Commissioners are former board members of the Adirondack Council, while two come from local government. Unlike non-profit green groups, lawsuits against the agency aren’t often allowed per state precedent. “Environmental groups and clubs do have the power to sue the APA and DEC to seek judicial review of their administrative actions,” Monroe wrote in his list of proposed changes. “APA and DEC actions and policies appear to frequently be made in response to those judicial review lawsuits. Local government officials are democratically elected to represent the concerns of their constituents. When they bring lawsuits seeking judicial review of APA actions they are met with arguments by the state Attorney General that they lack standing to sue.” Monroe argues that the local government’s lack of power to sue over agency decisions skews the balance between the needs of municipalities and those of environmentalists. But for Stiles, there is one driving problem with the Act as it currently stands: the vague terminology regarding shoreline setbacks. Stiles said that the waterfront setback language must be clarified and in many cases strengthened to further protect Adirondack water bodies. Last week, a nine-county lawsuit seeking to nullify recently adopted APA shoreline setbacks, was largely defeated in state Supreme Court. Monroe and many other local officials had argued new setback policies had inappropriately extended the APA power to restrict land use — and should have been a matter for state Law rather than the APA act. While environmentalists have argued that the unspoiled beauty of the Park needs to be preserved, local officials have countered that preservation is suffocating economic development.

APA enforcement director reassigned after feud erupts Van Cott called citizen ‘sociopath’ By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Park Agency has removed its enforcement program director from his position after he sent e-mails to Essec County resident Sandy Lewis calling him a “sociopath.” Paul Van Cott, who since 2004 has headed the APA’s enforcement division, has been reassigned as part of the agency’s general counsel office. According to APA spokesman Keith McKeever, Van Cott’s reassignment is part of an “ongoing, aggressive transition in the agency’s legal division.” Four of the APA’s six senior attorneys are currently eligible for retirement, he said. “Paul is the most senior attorney on staff not eligible for retirement,” McKeever explained. The change in position will give Van Cott a broader range of duties, McKeever said, focusing on Agency rules and regulations and other legal issues besides enforcement. He would not comment on whether Van Cott’s salary would change. However, the move raises speculation as it comes just two weeks after Van Cott e-mailed Lewis, an Essex farmer who won a lengthy court battle with the agency in July and is now suing the agency for more than $200,000 in legal fees. Lewis has regularly sent mass e-mails for several months to area reporters, lawyers, and officials from state and local agencies sharing his disdain for officials at the APA, including Van Cott, who he referred to as “simply not competent” in a Nov. 10 e-mail. Using his APA e-mail account, Van Cott responded. “Mr. Lewis, you are a sociopath,” wrote Van Cott. “Please shut up. Go out and get a shovel and work like a real person on your farm. Enjoy life and be a real farmer. You are very fortunate. Realize that and get a life.”
In his reply, Lewis sent copies to State and County officials, including a State Police Sergeant and three members of the State Assembly. “The sociopath is the APA,” wrote Lewis in response. “You and your close-linked 501(c)3 coterie have perfected the art of raping the indigenous to the point of distraction and tears, serious illness and community-wide depression over 6.5 million acres for 37 years.” Van Cott then wrote a second e-mail that went to the same recipients. “Go farm. Dig a hole, milk a cow. Enjoy the 1,000 acres of farmland on Lake Champlain that you have,” he wrote, going on to defend the APA’s Nov. 9 settlement with LeRoy Douglas, the Silver Lake resort owner who recently had his APA enforcement case dropped. “You won your case,” Van Cott told Lewis. “We respect the law. Go farm.” When asked about whether the e-mails had a role in the decision to reassign Van Cott, McKeever offered no affirmation, but did note that the agency took action. “The agency did not condone Paul’s responses,” said McKeever, “and we’ve recused him from his responsibilities in the Lewis and Douglas matters.” Van Cott has been employed by the APA since 2000. Prior to that, he was a lawyer for the state Attorney General’s Office. “He did a heck of a job,” said McKeever, noting that the enforcement division has dealt with over 2000 cases during Van Cott’s tenure, including a high-profile federal case where the judge praised the agency’s handling of the issue. “I think that’s indicative of Paul’s work and the efforts of agency enforcement.” Another senior attorney at the agency, Sarah Reynolds, who has worked in the enforcement division since 2004, will take Van Cott’s place as acting enforcement program director. “We anticipate hiring another attorney in the short-term,” McKeever said.
Countryside controversy has quieted for now By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The discontent and controversy earlier this year surrounding job and budget cutbacks at Countryside Adult Home have subsided, facility director Brenda Hayes told Warren County leaders Nov. 25. Countryside is also now running nearly 3 percent under budget since three positions were eliminated and three others had duties shuffled, she said. "The uproar has quieted down and everything is very comfortable right now," she told county Supervisors during a county Health Services meeting. In June, Countryside employees and residents staged a public demonstration at the county Municipal Center protesting against job cuts, facility downsizing and reduction of activities. At that protest, employees facing termination alleged favoritism, nepotism, retaliation and mismanagement at the home. Hayes disputed the charges, showing documentation that she was even-handed with personnel. She contended the allegations were prompted by the changes she was making to dramatically cut taxpayer expenses at the home, which has a declining population. Countryside Adult Home is a county-sponsored facility that provides room, board and activities for elderly or special needs adults that don't have the means to live on their own. This summer, Hayes had the home re-certified by the state as a 48-bed facility rather than one accommodating 60 residents, which

Hayes reported this week that the controversy over cutbacks has subsided and considerable taxpayer money has been saved. Photo by Thom Randall
meant less stringent regulations, including staffing. In doing so, she eliminated three positions, including Activities Director, Assistant Activities Director and Case Manager, to save taxpayer money. The home now has a population of 40 residents. Wednesday, Hayes showed the county Supervisors figures that she had cut expenses at the facility in 2009, despite dramatic hikes in employee retirement and hospitalization costs. Net savings to taxpayers amounted $47,000 of the fa-
cility's annual budget of $1.74 million. Of that sum, about $660,000 is shouldered by county taxpayers, according to county Supervisor Matt Sokol. Several activities that required considerable work by Countryside staff were downsized or eliminated in the cutbacks, Hayes said. Hayes set a limit on the number of guests per Countryside resident attending an annual picnic, which formerly offered free food for unlimited numbers of guests and family members. In response, Countryside staff
chose to eliminate the event, she said. The annual Christmas Bazaar was also eliminated, as it involved substantial staff labor. Substitute activities, including a World Series party, were introduced, however. Warren County Budget Officer Kevin Geraghty said Hayes was doing a remarkable job in cutting costs. "Brenda got the hell beat out of her by some people for doing the right thing on behalf of county taxpayers," he said. "we're telling her to cut expenses, and let me tell you, she gets it."

tomers,” she said. “We are expecting another year with well over 1000 applications for grants because of the tight economy — The good news is I believe our customers will rise to the challenge.” The purpose of Holiday Match is to encourage individual giving and broaden the base of support for local charities, Dake said. Stewart’s Holiday Match is a non-profit foundation and all donations are tax-deductible. Stewart’s gladly accepts funds from groups or businesses, but only matches individual donations. Local organizations benefiting children can pick up an application throughout the holidays at any Stewart’s Shop; the deadline for submission is January 31.

Johnsburg JAGUARS Johnsburg hopes to stay competitive after loss of senior starters By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG — After losing four strong seniors from last years squad, the Johnsburg Jaguars hope to rely on young talent during the upcoming season. Mike Pelletier has been coaching the Jaguars for four years and acknowledges the loss, but has confidence in his younger players. “Last years seniors were very athletic and they played together since they were freshmen,” said Pelletier. “But, we have several younger players who can step up this year.” Those seniors were Dalton Ordway, Josh Harvey, Michael Couzens and Nick McCarroll. McCarroll was the league MVP last year. The team went 9-3 in the league and 13-6 overall. “This is the time for the under-
classmen to finally show their stuff,” said Pelletier. The only senior, Adrian Veldman will lead the team on and off the floor as a starting guard. He will be supported by a young cast of starting juniors including point guard Sean O’Neill, forwards Kevin Conner and Ben Richards, and center Andrew Veldman. Coming off the bench are sophomore guards Taylor Ordway and Dustin Weller, sophomore forwards Chris Scott and Dametri Brown, and freshman forward Chris Guy. Pelletier commented that Indian Lake/Long Lake will be their biggest competition within the league. “This will be the test of true court time for the boys,” said Pelletier. “I have high expectations for the team.”

MINERVA — The Mountaineers are recovering from the loss of three solid players and starting seniors. They also will be under the direction of a new coach Steve McNally who made the move after seven years with the girls varsity at Minerva/Newcomb. Last year, the Mountaineers were 8-11. Graduation took starting center Kevin Yandon, who led the team on both sides of the court and received first team all-star honors. They will also miss Chris Kellog - arguably one of the quickest guards in the league as well as starting forward Devin Tokarz. McNally will look to his two seniors to carry the young squad. Forwards Jesse Montanye and Brandon Poulton have the potential to lead in scoring and are also aggressive defenders. Fellow forward Roger Kelly — a junior, will join Montanye and Poulton on

Indian Lake/Long Lake return experience and leadership By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — The Orange will rely on returning experience from starting seniors to make them one of the teams to beat in the southern division this year. This season marks Jim Zulo’s 35th year coaching and his fourth year with this Orange team. Last years team turned in a winning record of 15-4, but also graduated two strong players. Jeff Reynolds led the team from point guard and 6-foot 2-inch forward Jordan Monthony was a scoring and rebounding force in the paint. Zulo believes, however, he has several players who can step up and fill in the spaces. He will stack his starting line with four seniors including 6-foot 2-inch forward Kris Bain and guard Zach Mitchell. Senior Jordan Wallace will step up to point guard and fellow senior Ben Black will join at forward. Matt Rausch, a 6-foot 2-inch junior center will move to the starting line. Seniors Jesse Benton and Jake Wells will come off the bench along with junior Steven Pitcher, sophomore Zack Ruland and freshmen Collin Farrell and Matt Moore. “We bring good experience from last year and great scoring potential,” said Zulo. He expects Bain and Mitchell to dominate the scoring efforts and Wallace to step up as a team leader at point guard. “I expect we will compete with Johnsburg for the league,” said Zulo. “We will also compare favorably with the rest of the teams in our division.” Zulo acknowledges Johnsburg as a tough competitor and Westport should give them a tough test. He is eager to get the season under way. “We have a strong team this year and I have confidence in each of my players - especially the starting seniors,” he said.

It’s do or die for Big Blue By Tom Henecker tom@denpubs.com
I
’ve been studying hard this week. Since I’ll be spending Sundays with Buckshot bird-watching, I figured I’d better know what a golden-cheeked warbler looks like. It’s win or go home for Big Blue now, starting with the hated Cowgirls this week. Normally, I’d boldly predict a shellacking by the Giants, but after watching them play alleged football in Denver Thanksgiving night, I’ll be happy if they squeak out a last-minute victory. On a more positive note, we’ve had our first — and only — perfect week of the season (and Dan Alexander Jr. thought he’d have the best record at 15-1). Joe Sherwood posted a 16-0 record for Week 12, vaulting him to within 7 games of the leader. And speaking of our leader: The seesaw battle continues with Matt Aldous regaining the lead over Sue Ringler. Troy Galusha also has joined the frey with a 13-3 week, pulling him into a tie for second, one game out. More good games on tap this week, starting Thursday night with Jets at Bills. I’m really tempted to take Buffalo, but I can’t. Philadelphia/Atlanta has potential to be a good one, too, and I’m honestly hoping McNabb still thinks a game can’t end in a tie – that’d be best for the Giants’ playoff hopes. I’ll give the Falcons the edge at home. Two other games I’m looking forward to are Titans at Colts and Vikes at Cards. This may be the week Indy gets its first loss, but I won’t pick against them yet. And while I’d love to see Favre lose in Arizona, I don’t see that happening this week. Remember, make your picks before the first game of the week online at www.denpubs.com. Go to Extra! Extra! and select “Contests.”

Wilderness A
fter nearly three centuries of damage by of flood, wind storm, wildfire, invasive species, climate change and the omnipresent threat of development, the Adirondack forests of 2009 are considered “the most continuous they have been in over 150 years” according to the Adirondack Atlas published by the Wildlife Conservation Society. Although stressed by disease, damaged soils and an assortment of airborne pollutants, the state’s forested lands have proven surprisingly resilient. Forests regenerate after damage, it’s a component of nature restoring itself. The Adirondack Park currently contains some of the largest stands of virgin forest east of the Mississippi. Beginning in the early 1870’s, the state began acquiring nearly 2,000 parcels of forested lands with a combined total of nearly 1.3 million acres that held either virgin forest or lands that were once lightly cut for spruce according to research by the late, Barbara McMartin. As a result of the state’s aggressive land acquisition programs, which have been accomplished through both outright fee purchase and conservation easements, the amount of protected acreage in the Adirondack Park is currently at an all-time high. However, despite the collective force of dozens of advocacy groups pressing for preservation, the park remains a disjointed conglomeration of independent private and public parcels of land. Although it has often been considered a model as one of the country’s oldest and most successful parks, the Adirondack region does not offer an extensive and seamless wilderness. Rather, the park features a varied assortment of lands dispersed around a variety of small communities. It has been said that a park with permanent residents can never become more than a trial wilderness due to the infrastructure of roads and power grids. The dispersed communities divide the landscape and disrupt the connectivity which is vital to a true wilderness. Light and sound pollution do not respect the boundaries established by zoning. Neither do migrating or invasive species of flora, fauna and an annual influx of millions of visitors. Wilderness by definition is a sizable, roadless region where the natural ecological processes continue to evolve with as little human interference as possible according to a federal statute established by the Wilderness Act of 1964. In the Adirondacks, of all the land classifications, man has impacted wilderness areas the least. To further protect them, wilderness areas have restrictions placed upon their use with only conforming "structures and improvements" such as leantos, outhouses and pre-existing dams allowed. In order to foster access, foot trails, log bridges and signboards are permitted but the use of motors or mechanized vehicles such as bicycles is prohibited. When the Adirondack Park Agency was established in 1972, the state identified fifteen parcels consisting of a minimum of 10,000 acres each to be established as wilderness areas. Today approximately 1,030,000 acres of protected lands are designated as wilderness which constitutes approximately 18.2 percent of the public lands within the park. The park encompasses nearly 85 percent of all wilderness lands east of the Mississippi, which is besieged by nearly 9 million visitors annually. The park’s wilderness lands still present a conundrum of disjointed public parcels which are dissected by highways, hamlets, private parks and villages. While there remain numerous opportunities for extensive travel, even the most remote sections of the park lack the contiguous nature of true wilderness. Despite the ‘rewilding’ efforts of travelers are still likely to encounter signs of man at some point in their travels. According to a Draft Map of Primitive Class Areas in the Adirondack Park developed by the Adirondack Park Agency, “The preliminary estimate of potential Primitive Areas indicates the truly remote areas of the Adirondack Park are a relatively small and therefore precious resource.” According to the methodology implemented by the US Forest Service’s Recreational Opportunity Spectrum, less than 3 percent of the park’s total of 6 million acres are considered to be truly primitive enough to be wilderness. Do these lands indeed furnish the vast, contiguous expanse of wild forests, solitary ponds and savage waters that are to be expected of an authentic wilderness or are they a ‘reclaimed wilderness,’ fashioned by regulations, restrictions and zoning? Does the intrusion of an airplane overhead, a fire tower above or the evidence of a long forgotten foundation along
www.Newsenterprise.org
a trail diminish the wilderness character of the land? And what about people? When a community of campers crops up in an otherwise desolate location, are they any less invasive than the sound or sight of manmade appliances or structures? Is wilderness simply a state of mind? Despite the inherent drawbacks of design, the Adirondack Park remains an outstanding example of what can be accomplished when wild lands are afforded protection from the “hands of man.” Although the park may be considered an imperfect wilderness on a number of levels, it is still a place where it is possible to find oneself immersed in the middle of nowhere. And I must agree with Steve McQueen who once said, “I'd rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth.” Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

After reading my last column about a local man who was attacked by a 10-point-buck, Brian Warrington called to tell me about his own close encounter. As the pictured above shows, however, the outcome was a little different in his case.
A close encounter
F
A couple of firsts: North Creek resident Rick Bennett wrote recently to report that two of his sons, Jesse and Kyle each scored this season. Pictured above is Kyle Bennett with his first Adirondack buck, an 8-pointer that weighed 120 pounds. Pictured below is Rick’s youngest son, Jesse, with his first buck, a 100-pound, 4-pointer he nailed across a field in Onieda County at 200 yards with his 7mm08.
ew hunters I’ve spoken with can believe the sequence of events that played out a few weeks ago when a North Country man was attacked by a 10-point buck near his remote home outside Malone. Minerva resident Brian Warrington, however, no longer falls into that category. That’s because it nearly happened to him, too. The outcome, however, was a shade different. “I read your column last week and couldn’t believe a deer would act like that,” Warrington told me, referring to my last column in which I described how Gerald Dabiew wrestled with a mature buck for nearly 20 minutes as it pounded him into the ground. “Well, I believe it now.” Warrington said his own harrowing encounter began as he and his wife, Patty, started up into the woods to begin a drive. Barely off the blacktop, the duo jumped two deer, one of which was a slammer buck. “So, I pulled out an estrus bleat, and bleated three times,” Warrington said. Before he could put the call away, the deer appeared, stomped at the ground, lowered its antlers and charged. “My wife and I have been hunting together for 30 years,” Brian said. “I’ve seen a lot of unusual things in the woods, but nothing like this.” Brian said Patty lunged for safety behind a tree as the 180-pound buck closed to within 30 feet and fired at the deer, missing it. The shot brought the animal to a stop, however, and Brian dropped it in its tracks. “Obviously, the deer came to the bleat call, but this deer was so aggressive, it was grunting and growling and coming straight for us,” Brain said. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said. Patty agreed. “It’s pretty scary when it happens to you,” she said, adding she will never doubt the effectiveness of a call again, or how a rutting buck might respond. “I’m a believer now,” she said, echoing her husband’s earlier sentiment.

My cousin, Bill Gereau, shot this big 8-pointer with his crew in Minerva Nov. 6. The buck weighed 152 pounds and was his largest to date.
