the county’s share of Gaslight Village. They also talked about lowering their own pay, as well as the county’s non-union employees, by 5 percent. The latter idea failed because it would create a disparity between those workers and CSEA union employees which have so far refused to reopen contract negotiations and reduce a pending pay increase. The supervisors voted to not include anticipated revenue for the proposed sales tax hike in their 2010 budget, which is still under development. A state deadline of Dec. 20 is looming for the spending plan, which
INDIAN LAKE — Fifth grade students at Indian Lake Central School received awards recently from the Hamilton County Soil and Water District upon their completion of an essay contest. On Sept. 24, the students attended the 30th Annual Lynn Galusha Memorial Conservation Field Day in Lake Pleasant. The event was attended by 103 local students, who interactively learned about subjects ranging from forestry aquatic bio-diversity. “Students were asked to write about their favorite presentation of the day and explain how they view things differently now that they know this information,” said Indian Lake Superintendent David Snide. The judges received entries from fifth graders all over Hamilton County and of the 32 entries, Andrew Brown of Indian Lake was the overall winner with his essay on storm water pollution prevention. He received a free 4-H summer camp session donated by Cornell Cooperative Extension. On Nov. 10, representatives from Hamilton County Soil and Water District visited the fifth grade classroom to present award certificates to all of the students who participated.

Public decries sales tax hike plan By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — About 100 people attended a special meeting of the Warren County Board of Supervisors convened Dec. 10 to consider a proposed sales tax hike, and every citizen stepping to the microphone but one voiced objection to the measure, which was endorsed in concept last week by the board. More than a dozen speakers attacked the proposed raise in sales tax from 7 to 8 percent, calling for further cuts in county programs. The show of indignation over a sales tax increase prompted the board to set
an additional budget-cutting meeting for Tuesday, and at that six-hour meeting, a variety of reductions were made totaling about $700,000, county offi-

Gore management lobbies Congressman for hydropower funding By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Management at the state-owned Gore Mountain Ski Center petitioned Congressman Scott Murphy for funding while he visited the facility Monday. According to Murphy, officials want to study the potential of constructing a hydropower facility on the mountain. Murphy told the News Enterprise that the $20,000 funding request will be taken by his staff to Washington and placed in the pipeline for federal monies. “They are interested in exploring potentially generating generating some hydropower from the runoff on the mountain,” Murphy said. “In the spring and summer they have a lot of water up in the reservoir.” According to Gore officials, during the winter, the mountain pumps water from the near-by Hudson River to the summit where it is stored in a reservoir until it is needed for snow making operations. In the warmer months, the reservoir often sits full from rain and snowmelt and mountain officials believe that it could be gravity-fed down the hill, turning a turbine and creating electricity. “It could be good for everybody. That’s good green energy that may be possibly accessible,” he said. “Obviously, we would have to think it through and be aware of any issues that might arise from the fact it would be in the park.” The electricity could then go back into the grid, or power much of the mountain’s summer operations. Murphy said that special consideration may have to be given to the project because of its location within the Adirondack Park.

Note in bathroom shakes Johnsburg By Lindsay Yandon Lindsay@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG — A note was found in a bathroom at Johnsburg Central School on Dec. 9 that caused officials to activate their lock-down procedures, said Superintendent Mike Markwica. The note was later found harmless. The note was a threat aimed at another student, but was not characterized as a bomb threat. It was written on a piece of toilet paper and left in the bathroom by a male high school student. “It was serious enough for us to take action,” said Markwica. A lock-down was activated soon after the note was found and member's of Johnsburg Central Schools safety team secured two areas to hold students. Elementary students were moved to the gym and high school students were moved to the cafetorium.
The Warren County Sheriff's department was notified once the students were secure, searched the building and determined that there was no threat to safety. Sherriff's identified the student responsible for the note, who said it was not meant to be a threat. The student's case is now in the hands of the Warren County Sherriff's department and a report has yet to be released. Therefore, legal actions have not yet been taken against the student, but school discipline will be implemented. Pending the results of a Superitendent’s hearing, the student will be allowed to return to school. "Everything worked as we planned it to in our drills," said Markwica. "After reviewing the incident, we were able to make a few small changes to our safety protocol." An announcement was sent home with all students notifying parents of the incident and how it was to be handled.

I
n the Millennium Chorale’s repertoire this holiday season was a song from the Broadway musical, A Christmas Carol by Alan Menken and Lynn Ahrens.
This year I’ve been rereading the original novella written by Charles Dickens in 1843, and wondering how this story has remained popular for 166 years and what its message is for today’s world. The protagonist, Ebenezer Scrooge, is the quintessential miser whose opinion of the Christmas season is, “Bah Humbug.” Bob Cratchit, Scrooge’s clerk, is the poor father of a large family including crippled Tiny Tim. The Cratchits have few worldly possessions, but the family celebrates a joyous Christmas. Through a series of ghostly visits, Scrooge revisits his life. Able to view the past, present and into the future, he sees the error in his ways. I believe the message of this timeless tale is that change is possible – even for an old curmudgeon like Scrooge. At the end of the story he promises to, “honor Christmas in his heart and to keep it all the year.” The words of the song the Millennium Chorale sang are similar to the lyrics of Thankful which I wrote on at Thanksgiving. “In your heart there’s a light, as bright as the stars in heaven. Let it shine through the night,” – ‘til each child is fed, ‘til all men are free, ‘til the world becomes a family. In other words, we must endeavor to make a difference with,“kindness by human kindness and light the world with our love.” As Tiny Tim said so many years ago, “God Bless Us Everyone!”

Suspect in abduction apprehended in Florida with victim’s Jeep an aunt that might be losing her house, and the woman gave it to him, Bragg stated. The woman contacted her family at about 11 a.m. Saturday Dec. 5 stating she was two hours from home and was dropping Fox off in Warrensburg, authorities said. However, the victim was not heard from again until she was found at the motel in Weedsport the morning of Dec. 7 bound in duct tape in a room at the Best Western Motel on Re. 31 in the Village of Weedsport and freed by a local police officer. Suffering from a head wound, she was transported to a local hospital, treated and released, authorities said. Sheriff Gould said that in the meantime, she had been reported missing to the Washington County Sheriff ’s Office. Suspect Arnold Fox, thought to be a transient, has been known to live and work on farms in the Adirondack area as well as in South Carolina and Pennsylvania. Fox was charged Saturday with felony counts of wire fraud and interstate transportation of a stolen motor vehicle, according to records of U.S. District Court in Syracuse. Apparently Fox, who had been on the run nearly a week, was apprehended after he accessed the Facebook website. Authorities subpoenaed Facebook to determine where Fox was located when he accessed the website, and they looked in the vicinity of First Avenue, Miami. Fox was arrested in the gas station as he attempted to get into the victim’s stolen vehicle, according to the FBI. As of Monday, Fox was in a Florida jail awaiting extradition to New York. According to the court documents, the victim identified Fox easily in a photographic lineup. Warren County Undersheriff Robert
Lighting contest slated in Newcomb
Area woman found bound in duct tape By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — FBI agents have captured a man on the run with local ties who they allege may have kidnapped and sexually assaulted a 21year-old woman from Fort Ann, then bound her with duct tape and left her in a western New York motel room and fled in her car. Saturday, FBI special agents apprehended Arnold C. Fox, 30 — who in 2008 worked in Stony Creek — in a gas station in Miami, Fla. off South Dixie Highway. Fox had been driving the woman’s stolen green 2003 Jeep Liberty, bearing switched license plates, according to the FBI agents. Authorities said they believe Fox, through the Internet website whinny.org, had offered employment to the victim as a barn manager on a horse farm in Saratoga that did not exist. Cayuga County Sheriff David Gould said this week that Fox, posing as “Mike Fox,” told the victim she had been hired to work on his farm purported to be “Fox Farms” in Saratoga Springs, and convinced the woman to meet him in the Poconos area Dec. 3 to help him buy some horses. The two did meet and did visit several horse farms in Pennsylvania over that weekend, Gould said. Fox apparently also persuaded the young woman to pay for their expenses, as he purported he had recently lost his checkbook and credit cards, an FBI agent Frederick Bragg said in a complaint filed in U.S. court. These expenses included lodging, meals and gas, according to the complaint. In addition, Fox asked for $372 in cash, claiming he needed to give it to

Winter Solstice Service scheduled
Arnold C. Fox. Swan said this week that his agency had arrested Fox in May 2008 as a fugitive from justice, and they apprehended him where he worked at Thousand Acres Ranch in Stony Creek. Swan said he recalled that Fox was living in Adirondack in a bed and breakfast at that time. He was arraigned in Warrensburg Town Court on May 29 2008 and sent back to South Carolina to face felony larceny charges. Authorities say Fox has communicated with at least two other females online using what appears to be the same ruse but had not met with them in person. Five law enforcement agencies, including the Warren County Sheriff ’s Office, the Washington County Sheriff ’s Office, and state Police in Wilton. Authorities want to interview any persons who conversed with Fox online or responded to any online add posted by him or “Fox Farms.” Those with information are asked to call the Warren County Sheriff ’s Department at 743-2500.

fter a cold and damp Oct., Nov. was a welcome surprise. The temperatures were warmer than normal and the precipitation was below normal, with no measurable snowfall to record here in Riparius. November, here in the Adirondacks, is often a gray dreary month with a definite hint of the Winter to come - but not this year. The average high was 48.7 degrees and the average low was 30.4 degrees, giving us an average temperature of 39.5 degrees and the second warmest on record.

We’re more than a newspaper, We’re a community service.
Black Mountain’s generosity is commendable To the News Enterprise: The generous gift of $5,368 generated from the annual Black Mountain Open Golf tournament at Cronin’s reminded me of the continuity of generosity that has flowed from the Black Mountain Lodge for so many years, first from the original owners of the Black Mountain Motel and Restaurant, Erna and Karl Kappler, to now Kip MacDondald and Marion Eagan. From the early days of Gore Mountain’s Ski Center ’s operation in the late1950s my Uncle Karl Kappler and his wife Erna were deeply committed to the Town of Johnsburg community. Their success in building and operating the motel and restaurant during the challenging years of establishing a new business in this area made it never-the-less possible for them to be generous contributors of their volunteer time and resources to the school, the Rotary Club and local nonprofit organizations. The motel was their retirement dream project. Reminiscent of their European homeland, they brought beauty into the outer and interior finishing of the buildings. Special stone for the fireplace, cherry wood for the staircase and the creation of a cozy atmosphere in the restaurant’s interior with beams from wood lumbered on their land were kind of a novelty at that time in the immediate area. So, many local people still fondly remember my uncle and his wife because of the motel and restaurant. Today, I am truly thrilled that the Black Mountain Ski Lodge and Motel enjoy so much popularity and are well known for their excellent food. Their generosity to our service organizations is indeed commendable. The Kapplers would be proud of the development and growth of their love affair with this spot.

The best present I ever gave someone was during the time I was in Long Lake Central. I gave my friend a present and he was very excited because it was Christmas. It was a pack of army men 10” tall and 6” wide. He loved it. Garrett Austin - Grade 5 - Newcomb Central School
To the News Enterprise: For many of us, the end of the year is the giving season. Whether it’s for tax purposes or supporting the needs of others; our volunteer time and our charitable giving becomes front and center. We will see countless articles in national publications such as the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times about well-known, immensely wealthy people and their philanthropy. Given our fascination with money and celebrity, this is no surprise. Largely unheralded are local donors, who range from the very rich to the not so rich. What they share is a passion for their communities—their people and institutions. In the Adirondack region, we support North Country Public Radio and the Tannery Pond Community Center, and the local food pantries, the Hudson Headwaters Health Network, the local libraries and the Tri-County Nursing Home, and the hundreds of other non-profit that enliven and humanize our region and help its neediest residents. Local donors are smart, dedicated, and seasoned people who know how to help, and want to make a difference. How does this happen in the Adirondacks? In many ways, such as when a small business owner gets his friends interested in an after-school program that tutors kids, or a program that works with teens to learn hunting, fishing or backcountry skills. It’s when parishioners gather to serve meals at their church’s soup kitchen, or when moms and dads join a group that builds a new playground. It’s when an environmental group helps residents protect the water quality of their lake that supplies the community’s drinking water. The pluralism that is at the core of our region’s diversity is also at the heart of philanthropy. If we are to feed the hungry, develop new audiences for the arts, preserve our open space, bring up educated children, care for our elderly, find cures for diseases, and protect our civil rights—in short, to maintain a healthy democracy—we all need to contribute. There is no shortage of non-profit doing excellent work. As the giving season gets under way, please think hard about the passions that excite you and the problems that move you, and give, give locally.

Jill Cataldo’s ‘case of the confused cashier’
H
as this ever happened to you? You finish filling your cart with the week’s groceries, head to the checkout lane and place your items on the conveyor belt. The cashier announces the total and you hand over a nice stack of coupons. Then, the cashier pauses. You hear the words, “I don’t think we take coupons from the Internet.” The cashier hands them back to you and you ponder what to do next. While most of my shopping trips run smoothly, occasionally even your Coupon Queen encounters a cashier issue or two. So what do we shoppers do? One of our biggest tools to deal with checkout problems is the store’s coupon policy. Most stores have a written policy that states exactly how they handle coupons presented in the checkout lane. Many stores post the policies on their Web sites and others have a copy at the customer service counter in the store itself. What’s in a coupon policy? Information that shoppers can use to better plan our shopping trips! Coupon policies state specifics such as, We accept Internet coupons, We accept expired coupons or We accept competitors’ coupons. Everything we need to know about what kinds of coupons our stores should accept is spelled out for us right in the store’s policy. Armed with this knowledge, well-informed shoppers know exactly what coupons our stores should accept! The most commonly heard issue with cashiers does involve the store’s acceptance of printable Internet coupons. If you’re told that the store does not accept them, ask to see a copy of the store’s coupon policy. Most grocery stores and supermarkets do accept Internet coupons that are legitimately printed and are not photocopies. Unfortunately, due to the rise in coupon fraud, stores are getting more stringent about the kinds of Internet coupons that they will accept. Most legitimate Internet coupons contain a unique ID or barcode identifier and several other key features that stores use to ascertain a coupon’s validity. And any time the Coupon Information Corporation, a nonprofit organization that monitors coupon fraud, identifies a new, counterfeit coupon, it sends stores an alert to watch for coupons known to be fraudulent or counterfeit. However, when a fraud alert goes out, sometimes it has a ripple effect. Our stores learn a new counterfeit coupon has been spotted in circulation. Instead of homing in on the specific coupon mentioned in the alert, some cashiers may find it easier not to accept any Internet coupons. This not only hurts
shoppers, it hurts stores, too, since the large number of Internet coupons are legitimate and perfectly fine for the store to accept. Marketers reimburse stores for the full value of every coupon shoppers redeem, whether the coupon ran in the newspaper, appeared in newspaper inserts, was found on a product package or was printed legitimately from the Internet. Would you like another By Jill Cataldo piece of the cashier/coupon policy puzzle? I’ve heard from many cashiers that they get very little training on their store’s coupon policy. This puts coupon-savvy shoppers in an unusual situation. It’s possible that you may be more familiar with a store’s coupon policy than the cashier is. If you find yourself in this situation, never force the issue. Simply ask the cashier to check the store’s policy with the manager. You can politely let the cashier know that you’ve read it to make sure that all of the coupons you’re presenting are acceptable. A cashier issue most likely stems from a little confusion that isn’t the cashier’s fault at all. A cashier who questions your coupons may simply be trying to protect the store and do what they believe is right. We’ll continue to discuss commonly heard cashier coupon issues in the weeks ahead.

HFM Prevention Council Partners with The New York Council on Problem Gambling Complete Lottery Identification Assessments \The HFM Prevention Council and other NYS Problem Gambling Prevention Providers collaborated with The New York Council on Problem Gambling to conduct an Identification Assessment Project in 15 counties throughout NYS. Statewide, approximately 300 identification assessments were completed on over the counter and instant ticket vending machine sales. The assessments were completed by observing the sale of lottery products or by attempting to purchase those products. All actual and observed participants were of legal age to purchase Lottery products, therefore, there were no illegal sales transactions as part of this project. Sales clerks requested identification approximately 43% of the time during over the counter assessments. Only 5% of participants were asked for identification during the instant ticket vending machine assessments. As a result of this project, The New York Council on Problem Gambling is making recommendations to reduce the availability of NY Lottery products to youth. The five point plan below outlines the steps needed to reduce access to youth: 1. Develop a clear policy defining consequences for retailers whose clerks are found selling to minors. 2. Mandate a training program for those who are found selling NY Lottery products to minors – similar to the TIPS program utilized following underage alcohol compliance checks. 3. Reduce sales to minors by utilizing technology such as age identification card readers on Lottery machines. 4. Include an annual training program for all NY Lottery retailers and their clerks. 5. Require retailers to comply with posting visible purchase age requirement signage. Effective prevention strategies, such as the ones listed above, have been utilized and are proven successful in reducing youth access to alcohol and tobacco products. Therefore, with support and direction from The New York Council on Problem Gambling, NYS Problem Gambling Prevention Providers volunteered their time to informally assess whether or not Lottery retailers and clerks were asking for Identification at the time of NY Lottery product sales. The results of these assessments indicate a need for further education of NY Lottery retailers and their sales clerks, as well as clear, consistent enforcement of underage sales laws and regulations. New York Council on Problem Gambling Executive Director, Jim Maney comments, “We look forward to working with the NY Lottery, the NYS Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, and NYS Problem Gambling Prevention Providers to address and reduce youth access to Lottery products in the near future.” 58897

Local taxpayers to save millions with pension reform JCS taxpayers to glean $4 million By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com ALBANY — Local taxpayers in Warren, Hamilton and Essex counties will save many millions of dollars in the coming years after pending pension reforms take effect, according to figures state officials provided this week. Future personnel costs of local municipalities and school districts will be substantially reduced due to pension reform Gov. David Paterson signed into law Thursday, according to calculations by state officials. For Warren County government, taxpayers will save an estimated $26.4 million over the next 30 years, due to the reform. Taxpayers in Essex county will save roughly $14.2 million and $3.1 million in Hamilton County. For small school districts in these counties, savings are in the $1 to $5 million range. For Johnsburg Central School, this pension reform savings over the next 30 years is estimated to be $4 million and will save resident taxpayers $574,477. The savings is projected at $2 million for
Minerva and Newcomb Central Schools. Indian Lake Central This story was first School will save an estiposted online at 5 mated $2.5 p.m., December 15 on million, while Long www.Denpubs.com Lake Central School will expect about $1.5 million. Residents of these local town can also expect decreases in their taxes.Taxpayers in Minerva will see a $330,361 decrease and a $654,450 decrease in Newcomb. The town of Indian Lake should see about $755,859 in savings and Long Lake will receive about $788,384. “In order to get our fiscal house in order, Albany must make fundamental reforms to the way it spends money,” Paterson said in announcing the reform measures. “This is the first substantive pension reform in a quarter century, and it is another critical step toward making our government more accountable to taxpayers.” Under the new Tier V Reform plan, which was passed last week as part of the state Deficit Reduction Plan, newly hired public

employees will be subject to a significantly less generous pension package and be required to chip in more toward their retirement. Yet-to-be-hired employees will be required to work longer before accessing their benefits and the minimum age of retirement will be raised from 55 to 62. According to the state Office of the Budget, New York will save in excess of $1 billion annually over the next 30 years. Paterson is calling the Tier V law the most significant attempt at reining in statewide property taxes in decades. Local state Sen. Betty Little, who has been calling for local municipal relief for years, supported the measure and Thursday she applauded Paterson's efforts. “This is a sensible and necessary change,” Little said. “The impact is two-fold, saving taxpayers an estimated $35 billion over the next 30 years while ensuring that the pension system remains solvent in the future.” New York State Association of Towns Executive Director Jeff Haber said that the Tier V reform is a “huge step” in easing the burden on local governments, which are faced
with skyrocketing retirement and medical insurance costs. “The Association of Towns applauds Governor Paterson’s actions in proposing and enacting Tier V. For the first time in decades, legislation could actually reduce current local pension bills, and will definitely provide significant long-term savings and property tax relief,” Haber said. The association is often critical of the state for overburdening local governments with costly mandates. The legislation also tightens the reins on teacher ’s pensions, raising the retirement age two years to 57 and increasing the personal contribution from 3 to 3.5 percent. The Tier V legislation excludes municipal employees in New York City. The largest municipal savings will surface once the current generation of public employees has retired and they are replaced by employees who are subject the new system.

“New York ENERGY STAR® Homes use less energy, save money, and help protect the environment”
Deputies’ union agrees to delay pay hike By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
56173
QUEENSBURY — Warren County has struck a deal with the county sheriff's patrol officers union that calls for a six-month delay in a pending pay raise. Leaders of the Police Benefit Association have agreed to amend their existing work contract that calls for a 3.5 percent raise beginning Jan. 1, changing it to start the raise instead on July 1, county Attorney Paul Dusek announced Thursday shortly before noon. The union represents about 50 patrol officers, sergeants and investigators. The delay in the scheduled pay increase is in exchange for the county not laying off or firing any more union members, Dusek said. The agreement does not prevent eliminating jobs due to attrition or retirements, he said. County Board of Supervisors Chairman Fred Monroe said the deal will save Warren County taxpayers about $100,000.
The PBA contract, effective through Dec. 31, 2011, calls for an 3.5 percent increase beginning Jan. 1, 2010 and another on Jan. 1, 2011. The PBA union does not include jail guards, dispatchers and support staff which are represented by the Sheriff's Employees Alliance. Negotiations are ongoing with that union as well as others, seeking concessions that reflect the reality of the sluggish economy, Monroe said. The agreement is subject to the approval of the full county Board of Supervisors, and it may be endorsed by the full board as soon as Thursday evening, Monroe said. Other unions in the county have so far refused to reopen their work contractrs for renegotiating pending raises or benefits, county Budget Officer Kevin Geraghty said Tuesday. Among those resisting any negotiations is the Civil Service Employees Association. Delaying or scrapping a pending two-stage 7 percent pay increase over two years could reduce the county’s $3 million budget gap substantially, county officials said this week.
County officials decry late state payments State’s cash crunch pinching budgets ALBANY — Meeting with Gov. Paterson and other top state officials, county executives from across the state expressed their dismay this last week over unfunded mandates and lagging reimbursements by the state. Also, they voiced concern about the additional financial burden to local taxpayers of ever more state program expenses being shifted to local municipalities. The local officials met with Paterson and Lt. Governor Richard Ravitch as they convened in Albany for the annual meeting of the New York State County Executives Association. Compounding their concern this week was Gov. David Paterson’s executive order that 10 percent of pending state aid payments to schools and local governments, a total of $750 million, would be delayed due to a state cash shortfall. Estimating that the state would fall $1 billion short of the sum needed to pay bills due this past Tuesday, Paterson blamed the need to delay payments on the Legislature's failure to cut spending to schools and health care. At their recent meeting, the executives talked about the need to make dramatic structural differences in order to realign the state’s programs and services delivered at the county level — a system that has driven New York’s property taxes to be among the highest in the nation, according to Orange County Executive Ed Diana, president of the County Executives Association.
The local municipal officials voiced concern with the potential that the state’s payments for local programs and services are delayed by the Governor in order to keep the state from running out of cash. The areas that would be affected by delayed payment include public health, mental health, social programs, transportation projects and public safety. “Most of our counties do not have the reserves to absorb delayed or denied state reimbursement. In some cases they would have to borrow for short term to keep their budgets balanced for the remainder of the fiscal year,” said Diana. This past January, Warren County borrowed several million dollars because state reimbursements were over two months late. Warren County Treasurer Frank O’Keefe has warned county supervisors that payments are likely to be just as tardy this coming January, if not worse, than in 2009. This week, Gov. Paterson announced he was withholding 10 percent of reimbursements to municipalities and school districts for various programs, many of them mandated Monday, county officials discussed options they might have to undertake in response to the late reimbursements, whether it was planning for more borrowing, or reducing the services for which the payments were being withheld. Tuesday some county Supervisors suggested cutting programs regardless of their mandated status — because the state was withholding and delaying payments. County Attorney Paul Dusek warned that such action might be contrary to state law.

Grannis vows to defy APA decision on Lows Lake A
fter the Adirondack Park Agency voted in October to correct a previously, bungled decision to classify both the lake water and lake bottom of Lows Lake as wilderness, DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis decided to turn the other cheek. During their September meeting, the APA Board of Commissioners had voted to classify the lands, waters and lake bottom of Lows Lake-Bog River Flow with a wilderness designation by a close 6-4 vote. The ruling was intended to incorporate most of the waters and the lakebed of Lows Lake/Bog River Flow into the adjacent Five Ponds Wilderness Area. The remainder of the lake was to be classified Primitive, a less restrictive designation that nonetheless prohibits motorized uses. Following an uproar from local government leaders, combined with the fact that the tenure of one of the APA ‘s state designated commissioners term had expired, a revote was scheduled for the Agency’s October meeting. In the October revote, three of the state agency designees, including Betsy Lowe, DEC Region 5 director, reversed the decision with a 7-4 vote. The reversal infuriated several environmental advocacy groups who felt the decision betrayed the facts. Almost immediately, there were rumblings of a potential lawsuit to preserve the protection of the park’s “Finest Canoe Route.” In the most recent action concerning the Lows Lake classification process, DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis sent a letter to Adirondack Mountain Club Executive Director Neil Woodworth stating that: “Effective immediately, the department will manage Lows Lake as a wilderness lake, subject only to existing riparian rights and the limited floatplane access recently provided for.” Under the threat of potential lawsuit, Commissioner Grannis wrote in the letter to Woodworth: “I am writing to
reconfirm the department’s commitment to establishing a wilderness canoe route through Lows Lake as called for in the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan.” Despite the APA Board’s decision, it appears that the DEC commissioner is taking it upon himself to administer Lows Lake under a wilderness classification – even though, based on the APA’s most recent vote, the commissioner ’s promise is not a legally binding agreement. Grannis told WNBZ Radio that it is the agency’s duty to classify all recently acquired lands and that the State Land Master Plan allows for waters to be included in classification packages. However, the commissioners statement is in direct conflict with 7-4 decision handed down by the APA’s Board of Commissioners. DEC Commissioner Grannis further promised in a letter to Woodworth that: “Effective immediately, the department will manage Lows Lake as a wilderness lake, subject only to existing riparian rights and the limited floatplane access recently provided for. I am writing to reconfirm the department’s commitment to establishing a wilderness canoe route through Lows.” Lows Lake was created when Gus Low created two large dams on the Bog River in the late 1800’s. The dams were rebuilt by the state in the 1980’s. The region contains sev-

eral private tracts on the lake for which grandfathered riparian rights continue to allow motorized use. By no means, does the region’s character remain consistent with wilderness standards. Motor vehicles are still used to access a Boy Scout Reservation on the lake via a dirt road that circumscribes mile of shoreline. The in holdings, with their motorized traffic, combined with the numerous man-made structures are inconsistent with a wilderness designation. The banning of floatplane use on Lows Lake was accomplished when the Adirondack Mountain Club sued the DEC for allowing their continued use on the popular paddling route. The float plane ban was driven by paddler ’s complaints that the noise caused by the roar of the float plane’s takeoffs was ruining the peace and solitude of their “wilderness experience.” Although floatplanes have serviced the region for decades, providing access for numerous visitors, the state never solicited comments from users of this service in the process of making the decision to reclassify the region. Trips into Lows Lake have been described as vital to the survival of the two remaining floatplane operators in the park. However, the current land use management plan will eliminate floatplane access on Jan. 1, 2012. With limited access into a comparable fishery, the ban will likely signal the death knell for the only two surviving floatplane services left in the park. It will be the end of an era, as paddlers replace sportsmen as the primary visitors to the region. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net

Wins come easily for some local teams during second week By Lindsay Yandon
and two for Ordway. They both finished with eight points.
Lindsay@denpubs.com
Indian Lake-Long Lake 64 Minerva-Newcomb 14 LONG LAKE - Kris Bain led the Orange to a commanding victory over the Mountaineers on Dec. 11. Kris Bain scored a game-high 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds for the Orange in the win. He tallied one three pointer and Jordan Wallace recorded the other. Wallace finished the game with nine points. Zack Mitchell added 10 points and nine assists for the Orange. Jesse Montanye's eight points led the Mountaineers and Dylan Saville contributed six points.
The second week of full play has brought the season leaders to the surface. After several cancelled games due to weather, we saw some pretty easy wins. Minerva-Newcomb boys fell in a non-league challenge with Keene, while Johnsburg easily rolled past Lake Placid. On both the girls and boys front, the Orange sailed past the Mountaineers and the Lady Jags couldn’t push past Crown Point.
Boys Basketball Keene 47 Minerva-Newcomb 20 OLMSTEDVILLE - Sam Earl scored a game-high 16 points as Keene topped Minerva-Newcomb on Dec. 7. Dylan Saville led the Mountaineers with seven points. John LaBracque followed with five points while Jesse Montanye and Morgan Winslow finished out with four apiece. Keene kept the Mountaineer ’s scoring in the single digits in all four quarters. Johnsburg 48 Lake Placid 24 LAKE PLACID - Ben Richards scored a game-high 14 points to lead Johnsburg to double Lake Placid on Dec. 8. The non-league victory proved to be no test for the Jaguars. Andrew Veldman added 12 for Johnsburg, who took a commanding lead of 25-9 at halftime. They held Placid to two points in the Second quarter. Kevin Conner and Taylor Ordway handled the three point shooting with one for Conner
Girls Basketball Crown Point 42 Johnsburg 34 NORTH CREEK - Jessica Potter scored 11 of 17 points in the fourth quarter to lead Crown Point in a victory over Johnsburg on Dec. 8. Johnsburg recovered from a 20-9 halftime deficit, but was unable to pull out the win. Kelsey Williford totaled 11 points and 11 steals, and Keri Cleveland followed Williford with 10 rebounds and four points. Brooke Guy finished with nine points and Cassandra Prouty and Mikayla Glode both chipped in five points.

Did I mention we beat the Cowgirls? Happy holidays, and remember, make your picks before the first game of the week online at www.denpubs.com. Go to Extra! Extra! and select “Contests.” GO BIG BLUE!!!
By Tom Henecker tom@denpubs.com Dear Mr. Coughlin, As the holiday season is upon us, could you please find it in your heart to fire your defensive coordinator, Bill Sheridan? He’s pretty crappy at his job. And if you wouldn’t mind, have him take your special teams coach with him – he stinks, too. Oh, and can you remind the team that when they see a football on the ground, pick it up. You never know when somebody may have accidentally dropped it. Thank you, Tom It’s such a stressful time of year. And I’m not talking about the holidays. It seems that every week is a must-win game for The New York Football Giants, and this week is no exception. Thanks to the Cowgirls continuing their holiday tradition of tanking in December, Big Blue still has a pretty good shot at getting the last Wild Card spot in the NFC. Of course, they’ll have to actually win a couple games along the way, starting Monday with the Deadskins. I’m not too concerned with the offense scoring enough points to win, but the defense is just plain awful. Still, I’m hopeful, and once in the playoffs, anything can happen. Matt Aldous holds onto his lead in our little contest, but Sue Ringler rebounded nicely and is back in second, tied with Troy Galusha just three games back. Young Taylor Goodspeed topped the week with a 14-2 record. Now if only he could get his picks to me without me having to remind him…. My lovely wife will be thrilled to know there’s a bonus game on Saturday this week, featuring a Saints beat-down of the Cowgirls. The Jets have a big one Sunday at home against Atlanta. A win there, and a Miami loss to Tennessee with have Gang Green knocking on the playoff doors, so that’s how I’m going to pick them. I’m not sure about Green Bay at Pittsburgh. I find it hard to believe the defending champs will drop six straight. I’m also afraid if they do, I’ll find my buddy Darren…well, I don’t want to think about that. Oh, yeah, Cleveland plays Kansas City (yawn!).

Taxes From page 1 as of late Tuesday, called for a 7.6 percent increase in taxes to be raised. Dec. 10, the public took potshots, one after another, at the idea of a sales tax increase. The outcry prompted retraction of a motion to pursue the 1 percent sales tax hike and dedicate it to reducing property taxes and restore the county's depleted financial reserves. George Weinschenk of Lake George blasted the board for constructing various buildings and undertaking projects like the county railroad, county airport, fish hatchery, development of Gaslight Village. He suggested that the supervisors fight state mandates, and demand concessions from the unions, including mandatory furloughs for employees, and make cuts to health care and pension benefits of county employees. “You never saw a project you didn't like, now you're at the bottom of the barrel,” he said. Connie Harrington of Queensbury, suggested cutting money to the Southern Adirondack library system, mandating lower heat in Crandall Library, cutting Early Intervention programs (mandated by the state), not paying for underprivileged children to go to 4-H Camp, and ditching the senior nutrition program, which has a budget allocation of $804,000. “People drive up in a Cadillac to get their roast beef dinners,” she said, noting the cost per meal was $9 including the volunteer expenses. Gary Flescher of Queensbury offered a passionate speech about citizens lowering their expectations so county programs could be downsized. “We need to find a different way to meet the true needs of our citizens,” he said, adding that he doubted the proposed 24-month sales tax increase would indeed be temporary. Peter Brothers of Queensbury suggested that the county conduct an efficiency study, and compare its operations with other counties in the state. He also suggested that the supervisors eliminate their own mileage reimbursements and roll back their own benefits. Tom Wade of Glens Falls suggested that the county declare bankruptcy. Peter Accardi said that the supervisors should have been tougher in holding the line in granting raises to union workers. Granting annual raises of 3 to 4 percent to the unions was “ludicrous,” he said. “It's not fair to the taxpayers who are paying those salaries,” Accardi said. Many of the speakers suggested getting tougher in union negotiations.
SATURDAY December 19, 2009 Dave Klein praised the supervisors for the many cuts in spending to date, but warned about the growing tax burden. “Upstate New York has the highest private-sector job loss and population loss in the last decade,” he said. Klein added that public sector workers had extremely generous pensions as high as four times greater than the average in the private sector. He suggested charging a sales tax on all boats that are docked on Lake George for over 30 days, as is done in Florida. Pat Cunningham of North Creek suggested imposing a tax on Internet sales, which he said could raise $20 million annually. Hotelier Dave Kenny said he was concerned that the tax hike would prompt consumers to go to Saratoga to shop. “We don't need to give them another competitive advantage,” he said. Weinschenk warned that a sales tax hike would disproportionately hurt people on limited incomes. he said that some businesses in Lake George and Bolton had lost 50 to 75 percent of their sales in the last two years, and not to plan for the sales tax revenues to stay robust. Jim Barrett said the expenditures around the county had been excessive, and the $400,000 fire trucks and multi-million-dollar fire houses were way out of line. “Show some boldness and stop this spending,” he said.
