Invasive found in Indian Lake Spiny water flea detected

SnowmobileÊ trailÊ curtailedÊ again Appellate Court ordered second injunction last Friday, pending decision in Albany Supreme Court

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

INDIAN LAKE — Off-and-on construction of the multi-use Community Connector Trail on state Forest Preserve land between Newcomb and Minerva was stopped again last Friday.

An Appellate Court overturned the Albany Supreme Court decision that had restarted work on the trail mid-August.

In July, Protect the Adirondacks successfully won its first injunction from the Appellate Court against the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) on planning and cutting on the 13.5 mile trail.

A month later, Albany Supreme Court Justice Gerald Connolly lifted the Pictured is a portion of the Newcomb to Minerva snowmobile trail that has been completed, seeded with grass seed and covered halt. with hay.

But last Friday, the Appellate Court granted a temporary stay of execution, pending a decision on Protect’s new appeal.

COUNTING TREES Protect first moved to stop the entire project last year, charging that DEC’s trail cutting violates the 14th “Forever Wild” Amendment of the state constitution.

The court told Protect then they had no evidence or independent analysis of numbers of trees cut.

“We had a field consultant out in the forest and we counted stumps. We estimated DEC is removing 15,000 trees in this project, and has cut about 7,500 — they’re half-way done,” Protect Executive Director Peter Bauer said in an interview last week.

Protect counted trees smaller than three inches in diameter, a method significantly different than the DEC’s.

“What we have found is that the state only counts trees three inches diameter or greater. Unfortunately, we think the judge erred in saying the trees less than three inches in diameter are ‘saplings’ or ‘seedlings,” Bauer said.

“Depending on the type of tree, species and habit, you can have a tree decades-old, biding its time waiting for an opportunity for an opening in the canopy. We plan to teach the court about the complexity of the forest and the importance of these smaller trees.”

In court papers, Protect charges DEC has also underestimated the number of large trees that need to be cut to complete the trail.

HALF-BUILT Mired in layers of litigation, the trail is supposed to be completed by Fall 2017. >> See CONNECTOR | pg. 1

NC Depot Museum seeks extras for film Film to detail landmark’s role in Teddy Roosevelt ascension to presidency

By Bill Quinlivan

news@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH CREEK — The North Creek Depot Museum is looking for extras to appear in a new historical film.

“Train Ride to Destiny” will be shot on Saturday, Sept. 24. The film will document the story of the North Creek Railroad Station’s role in a seminal American moment.

On Sept. 14, 1901, Teddy Roosevelt learned of the death of President McKinley and of his own succession to the Presidency of the United States.

Once completed, the informational film will be shown in the Depot Museum to acquaint visitors with this unique piece of history.

All are welcome to attend an informational meeting at Tannery Pond Community Center on Saturday, Aug. 27 at 10 a.m.

“Theodore Roosevelt’s visit to North Creek was an important event in American history,” said North Creek Depot Museum President Roger Thomas. “It was both tragic and ironic, but significant in ending the first Gilded Age and addressing issues of income inequality similar to those we have today. As such, participation in this important filming should offer a fun-filled learning experience for all involved.”

For more information, call 518-251-5225.

Tree care service rescues local cat Apollo, 4, was stuck in spruce tree

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — One local feline has proved that ste-

reotypes do come true: Cats do get stuck in trees.

Just ask Apollo, 4, who was prowling around the yard of his owners, Amy Mix-Sargent and Tom Sargent, when he found himself stuck in a tree.

Rescuing the feline wasn’t as simple as calling the friendly local fire department, who’d then show up with a ladder truck.

Amy dialed the non-emergency number.

No dice, they said, because the incident didn’t involve a human.

A call to local animal control yielded similar results. Stuck animals, said the official, tend to come down on their own after they get hungry and thirsty.

North Country Wildlife Rescue said they only assist wildlife rather than domestic animals.

Amy finally hit paydirt when she called a local tree care service, High Peaks Tree Removal.

Staffers arrived and Amy hopped in the bucket, which propelled her 25 feet skyward.

Apollo, a Russian Blue, was perched on a bough.

“I had a can of cat food with me,” said Amy. “After about the third or fourth attempt, I was able to grab Apollo, put him in the bucket and was guided gently down to safety.”

Amy said she was appreciative of High Peaks’ efforts and wants the public to know tree care companies can aid with precocious felines.

But Apollo didn’t learn his lesson.

A few days later, he found himself stuck in a maple tree.

While Tom extracted him with little trouble, the couple plans on curbing Apollo’s bad habit by placing plastic wrap

around the remaining trees and scattering citrus around the base, which apparently repels curious cats. Plans are also underway for a motion-activated sprinkler.

“If he stays out of trouble, he’s still got many years yet,” Amy said.

Invasive spiny water flea confirmed in Indian Lake Discovery to frustrate anglers, complicate food web

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

INDIAN LAKE — It’s the end of an era.

Long considered to be the largest invasive species free lake in the Adirondacks, the spiny water flea has been detected in Indian Lake.

An angler collected the creature on his fishing line earlier this month, according to the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP), who announced the discovery on Tuesday.

The discovery was reported to the program on Aug. 8 by a Paul Smith’s College Adirondack Watershed Institute boat launch steward.

“It’s very unfortunate,” said Indian Lake Supervisor Brian Wells. “We considered Indian Lake one of the clean lakes in the Adirondacks.”

While efforts to install a boat-washing station in Lake Pleasant were successful, efforts to install a second in Indian Lake fizzled, Wells said.

“That’s not good news at all.”

The presence of the creature in Indian Lake can be assumed to be well-established, said Erin Vennie-Vollrath, an aquatic invasive species project coordinator with APIPP. “Once they’re at a high enough level to detect with the nets we use, it’s pretty well established in the lake,” Vennie-Vollrath said. “We don’t know the exact density.”

Spiny water flea, an zooplankton, was first discovered in Great Sacandaga Lake in 2008. Since then, it has spread into at least eight other lakes in the region, including Lake Champlain.

Their presence has an effect on the food web, Vennie-Vollrath said. And because of their long spines, the creatures can get easily caught on fishing line, especially on down-rigor lines used to fish in deep waters.

Captain Bob Lewis operates Fins and Grins, a Westportbased charter fishing service.

The spiny water flea, he said, makes reeling in salmon extremely difficult.

“It’s like a wet Q-Tip when it gets on your line,” said Lewis, citing expeditions on Lake Ontario. “Once it fills up the eyelets, it’s impossible — you might as well throw your reel into the water.”

The presence of the creature frustrates both guides and recreational fisherman, he said, including those who visit for weekend getaways.

“This puts a damper on it,” Lewis said.

Once introduced into a body of water, there are no known controls for the creatures.

The only solution for anglers, said Lewis, is the Ande Pink fishing line, which somehow keeps the creatures in check.

Prevention is also key, Lewis said.

State law now requires boaters to clean, drain and dry gear and watercraft between bodies of water.

The Adirondack Park is home to about two dozen free boat wash stations designed to combat the spread of aquatic invasive species by using high pressure and hot water.

Awareness is also crucial, said Jaime Parslow, the steward who collected the water flea specimen from the Indian Lake angler.

“I am sad that spiny water flea has been introduced into one of the Adirondack’s most cherished lakes,” said Parslow in a news release. “But because of this story, we will be able to further educate and alert boaters and anglers about the significant threats posed by aquatic invasive species, and hopefully prevent their further spread into other Adirondack waters.”

ABOVE: The spiny water flea has been discovered Indian Lake. Prior to the discovery, which was reported on Aug. 8, Indian Lake was the largest invasive species free lake in the Adirondack Park.

Lake George Fire Chief: ‘We need a new aerial truck’

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — Officials of Lake George Fire Dept. have asked the village board to buy a new fire truck with a 100-foot ladder — apparatus that costs nearly $1 million — and the municipal leaders are now considering the request.

In a presentation to board members Aug. 15, Lake George Fire Chief Jason Berry described how the village’s present 1995 aerial tower fire truck with a 70-foot ladder had deteriorated, and a new one with a taller reach was needed.

Berry requested that the board authorize purchase of a current model that he and other fire department officers recommend: a demonstrator aerial truck that costs $955,000, or about $145,000 less than the price of a new model. The demonstrator, however, is outfitted with hoses and other firefighting equipment, unlike the factory-fresh models.

Berry detailed the deteriorated condition of the department’s 1995 tower truck, which has been out of service for about six weeks.

“There are stress fractures in its superstructure, it’s aerial lift cradle needs repair, and its fly boom needs replacement,” Berry said. “The ladder bucks and sags when fully extended, the pump input shaft leaks terribly, and the undercarriage is very rusty.”

He predicted that repairing the village’s tower truck to get it back in service would cost at least $32,000 to $41,000. He said that if it were repaired, the village’s investment in rehabilitating it would exceed $84,000.

He estimated that the 1995 truck, with minimal repairs, would have a trade-in value of $40,000 to $50,000 — but in its present condition, would garner only $10,000.

“Dumping more money into the current aerial truck would be pointless,” Berry said.

He urged that the village take action as soon as possible, as this new demonstrator truck might be sold soon. Board members talked about how while a public vote through a permissive referendum might be required for such a purchase, it could perhaps be acquired sooner through a resolution citing an emergency.

Village Mayor Robert Blais said such a procedure might delay or prevent bonding the vehicle.

“Ideally, we’d put the truck out to bid,” he said. “We just bought two fire trucks last year.”

Berry replied that a lease-purchase agreement might circumvent the need for a permissive referendum.

Berry said that purchasing a 100-foot aerial ladder truck was appropriate, considering the half-dozen recent multi-story developments in town, including the soon-to-open Lake George Marriott Courtyard Hotel and the recently reconstructed Surfside Motel.

“Buildings of 35 feet or higher dictate using a 100-foot tower truck,” Berry said, adding that future structures throughout the village and town of Lake George were likely to be taller than existing buildings.

Also, Berry said that having a fire truck with a 100-foot ladder on duty locally would lower insurance premiums through the village. He cited how commercial property owners in Killington Vt. collectively saved $1 million in insurance premiums annually with the local fire company owning a 100-foot ladder truck.

He warned that for every year the village waits to purchase a new truck, the cost escalates $100,000 to $200,000.

Berry talked of how in August 2010, the village’s aerial truck was vital in fighting a fire that caused substantial damage in a two-story building in a central block of Canada St., the village’s main thoroughfare.

“Our aerial fire truck saved the whole block,” he said, add-

ing that summoning Queensbury’s tower trucks would result in a 30-minute delay in firefighting. “We definitely need one.”

Berry also talked of how the aerial truck’s ability to extend its ladder laterally was as important as reaching heights, noting a recent incident in which a vehicle plunged down an 80 embankment.

The fire chief praised the terms of the proposed purchase, saying the truck could be purchased with a down payment of $150,000, and 12 annual payments of $81,483 starting in July 2018 — carrying an interest rate of 2.74 percent.

The tower truck, covered by a full extensive warranty, could be delivered in two weeks, he said.

Blais responded that while purchasing a new truck is important to protect public safety, such a substantial purchase should be fully evaluated — and the town of Lake George should be consulted, since the town would be paying 77 percent of the cost.

“We shouldn’t rush this, but we should keep on pursuing this,” he said. “The main thing is, we need it and we should make a decision soon.”

A public meeting of town officials on this issue is expected within the next few weeks.

Gov. Cuomo signs ‘Tiffany Heitkamp’s’ law ALBANY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed “Tiffany Heitkamp’s” Law on Aug. 16, legislation that strengthens penalties for boating while intoxicated offenses by linking them to prior drinking while driving offenses involving a vehicle.

The bill will require courts to consider prior DWI or DWAI convictions when sentencing a person for boating while intoxicated or boating while ability impaired.

“Whether behind the wheel of a car or a boat, drunk drivers are a danger to themselves and a menace to others,” Cuomo said in a news release. “This new law closes this loophole and will help keep these dangerous individuals off our roads and waterways, avoiding more senseless tragedies.”

Under current law, there is no linkage between prior DWI and DWAI offenses and BWI offenses. This makes it impossible to convict an individual as a repeat offender, despite prior violations of similar laws. The bill addresses this gap by linking these similar offenses and providing harsher penalties for repeat offenders.

Specifically, this measure requires that a court sentencing an individual for a BWI carrying a 30-day sentence must

consider any prior DWIs or DWAIs by the same individual within a five-year period.

When sentencing for a BWAI carrying a 180-day sentence, the court must consider prior DWIs or DWAIs within a 10 year period.

This change would require a sentencing judge to impose a higher sentence on those who repeatedly get behind the wheel in an intoxicated state, regardless of whether it is a car or a boat.

“When someone has a history of operating a vehicle or vessel while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, that record should be taken into account when the individual is sentenced,” Sen. John A. DeFrancisco (R-Syracuse) said.

“Repeat offenders should be held accountable for their history of dangerous actions to help deter further tragedies. I also would like to commend MaryJo Heitkamp-France on her advocacy to help get this bill passed.”

The “Tiffany Heitkamp” bill was named after a young Syracuse-area woman who was killed in July 2006 while traveling as a passenger in a boat operated by an intoxicated person.

Connector << Continued from | p. 5

At DEC, Commissioner Basil Seggos said Connolly’s July decision allowing work to move forward acknowledged proper public planning.

“The court has correctly found that DEC’s actions to develop this snowmobile trail were constitutional,” Seggos said in a news release.

“DEC has worked carefully to develop this trail with minimal impact on Forest Preserve lands, and at the same time is eliminating other trails that are redundant, unsafe and intrude into more remote areas of the Forest Preserve.”

FLAWED PLAN For Bauer and Protect, the number of trees being cut exacerbates what they consider a flawed plan.

“First off, they haven’t figured out a way to cross the Boreas River.

“Secondly, they are building a trail to nowhere. They still do not have agreements with private landowners to get the trail downtown to Minerva, to Sporty’s (Saloon) bar and Murdie’s Store. Snowmobiling is heavily a bar-to-bar experience in the Adirondacks. You have the bar in Newcomb, the bar in Indian Lake and the trails connect all of them,” Bauer said.

QUESTIONS MULTI-USE Bauer also says the definition of “multi-use” for the trail system is misleading.

“The application of ‘multi-use’ to define a trail is a sham in the Adirondacks. Nobody will use these trails for hiking,” he said, pointing to what he believes are problems with oversized waterbars on trails planted with grass.

“They are nearly impossible to ride a bike on and they’re not what the mountain biking community wants.

“These are 12-foot-wide clear-cuts through the forest. They say that they’re going to be attractive for horses, but they’re very steep in many places, they have lots of water bars and an uneven surface.”

SNOWMOBILERS SOUND OFF Dominic Jacangelo is executive director of the New York State Snowmobile Association.

He says DEC’s construction is meant to support multiple use on the Connector Trail.

“The state wants them to be used in spring, summer and fall as well as winter.”

The Sun NE/AJ • August 27, 2016 | 5

www.suncommunitynews.com

The water bars, for example, steer water away from the trail, he said.

“We’re not as concerned about the trails being wet,” Jacangelo said.

And not everyone wants to hike 20 miles on mountain trails into the back country, he added.

“These trails make access easier for many people.

“The other thing this construction exposes is the value of using existing roads for connector trails,” Jacangelo said, pointing to existing logging roads in Boreas Tract.

“It’s very clear there are good roads in Boreas. Use the road.”

As for lack of snow last winter and several years ago, Jacangelo, who is supervisor in the Town of Poestenkill, said the weather varies.

“Last year was unusual. The year before I rode right into April and up in that area. To use global warming is a marginal argument. Next winter could be the snowiest we’ve ever seen.

President of the Newcomb Snowmobile Club Eric Schreifels said he has seen people walking and hiking on what’s built of the trails this summer.

“Yes, it’s worth putting those trails in. People do use this in the summer, people hike it and people walk it. The trails are important for year-round opportunity and are designed to connect the towns together.”

Asked if snowmobiles travel bar-to-bar, Schreifels — who said he does not drink alcohol — says it is much the same as people in cars, driving from one bar to another.

And the Newcomb Snowmobile Club does its part to discourage drinking and riding, the president said.

“We try to see that and stop that ourselves. That’s a no-no from most of the guys that ride,” Schreifels said.

SNOWLESS WINTERS Bauer says counting on snowmobile business is a risky venture with the changing weather patterns.

“Newcomb, Minerva, Indian Lake, Long Lake and North Hudson get far less snow than Old Forge.

“Everybody says if we build snowmobile trails these communities will be able to build snowmobile tourism like Old Forge.

And one of the things you need for successful snowmobiling is snow,” Bauer charged.

“There are many things that make snowmobiling successful in Old Forge, and one of those things is lake-effect snowfall.”

In Newcomb, Schreifels said snow depth is different every year.

“We had one bad year with little snow last year. The point is, we’ve had years without snow before, that’s nothing new,” Schreifels told the Sun. “By putting those trails in, when we do get snow, it brings in

new winter business and gives people a way to get into these towns.”

Schreifels said grooming and care of the winter trail surface is a cooperative effort between snowmobile clubs.

“The clubs maintain all of the trails themselves.”

YEAR-ROUND RECREATION For supervisors in towns being connected, the trail’s purpose would encourage year-round use.

Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally sees opportunity emerging.

“It is opening up more recreation and more access for the people that live here,” McNally said.

“We have five towns working together on a vision to connect interior Adirondack towns with a four-season trail, providing a unique opportunity for tourism in this area,” McNally says.

“It will allow trails in Schroon Lake to connect Warren County trails, to Newcomb to Indian Lake and on to Old Forge. In winter, people from Newcomb can ride snowmobiles to Lake George and beyond.”

IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS For Newcomb Town Supervisor Wes Miga, the trail also solidifies a shared vision of economic growth in the center of the Adirondack Park.

“It is part of an important connection to act as an economic stimulus between the five towns.

“It would be our preference to not have any litigation and to move forward with the original plan,” Miga said.

The Matter of Protect the Adirondacks v. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, 2137-13 continues to move ahead with a trial set in Albany County for March 2017, Bauer said.

But decisions made now or even next year will impact future legs of the planned Community Connector Trail, which required amendments in 2015 to DEC’s Unit Management Plans in the Camp Santanoni Historic Area, Harris Lake Intensive Use Area and Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest.

In North Hudson, Supervisor Ron Moore is watching as the state prepares to classify and develop recreational use of the newly purchased Boreas Tract.

“That Community Connector is critical to establishing our trails here,” he said.

“That one goes between Newcomb and Minerva with a leg that will eventually lead to North Hudson. It’s important that we are able to continue this.”

A

s another summer draws to an end and the days grow shorter, we try to squeeze in those summer time activities before the season changes and before we know it, we’ll find ourselves anxiously awaiting summer 2017, as we slip and chip away at the coming winter’s weather.

Summer is kick back time sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. Sandwiched between family reunions, picnics, trips to the ball park and popular swimming holes and in general trying to slow down in the pace of everyday life, we should try to just soak up the opportunity to just enjoy life.

I guess I’m just an old timer who remembers the days gone past and sees the issues facing the American family in a connected world that just can’t seem to be dialed in. As we pass through these changing times, it’s easy to find fault with the world today and complain about what we don’t agree with rather than appreciating what we do have.

The birth of a child, a christening, a child’s birthday party, or even a child’s sporting event; these are the events that define life and defy the ages. What parent, grandparent, relative or close family friend doesn’t share the same joy today that their counterparts enjoyed at any time in the past watching our young ones grow and remembering our own youthful days?

Current events will always have an impact on how the pace of life changes through the ages, but priorities are frequently self imposed. We must take stock in how we choose to live and the value we place on time, which is ever so fleeting.

The calendar pages fly off the wall, or in most cases these days, off the computer screen or mobile phone as we work harder to stay focused on just keeping up.

It’s easy to get so caught up in all the new technology, the massive amounts of information we have streaming into our homes and the constant demands on our time. Putting down the phone and replacing it with a neighborly visit over the fence, taking a family trip or volunteering for a charity requires nothing more than making a simple choice and sticking with it.

The solution is to keep your priorities grounded, sharing time with those you love and respect, while being considerate of those who do not think like you. They are entitled to their thoughts, choices and beliefs, just as much as you are to yours.

Don’t let the highly contagious political fever spoil the joys of summer. There will be plenty of time to reengage with that mess when it counts the most, during the debates and on election day.

Enjoy these last fleeting days of summer. The world with all its ups and downs, scandals and threats will still be out there when fall returns. Summers are special and each summer should be filled with unique memories that last a lifetime.

Want a pay raise? Earn it!

S

tate legislators are primed to receive a 47 percent pay raise this fall.

A state-appointed panel has been weighing the boost this year for the legislature, who haven’t received an increase since 1999.

Lawmakers receive a base pay of $79,500, a number that increases based on leadership positions.

The increase would bring everyone to $116,900.

The seven-person panel’s recommendations, due by Nov. 15, would automatically become law unless legislators vote against the bump, which also includes other state officials, including the comptroller and attorney general.

This seems a bit extravagant.

Lawmakers are overdue for an increase, sure, but a straight shot of 47 percent is pushing it.

Imagine asking your boss for a 47 percent raise. And imagine doing so without tying it to a pretty rigorous job performance evaluation.

Any future hikes should be based on merit — like meaningful ethics reform, for instance.

Yes, the legislature did vote earlier this year to strip legislators convicted of corruption of their taxpayer-funded pensions earned during public service.

But those reforms can be deepened to further discourage abuse.

The law doesn’t extend to state workers, which means people like prison seamstress Joyce Mitchell and the former Warren County IT worker who got nabbed

for pilfering laptops from the state last month will still be eligible to cash out.

The legislature should also set a cap on outside income, which for many lawmakers, often poses an unsavory dalliance with the dark side.

We’d also like to see the part-time body transition to a full-time schedule.

The reasoning is simple: Lawmakers should hold themselves to the same standards as the people they represent.

For the working class people of the economically-depressed North Country, this might include an annual 3 percent pay raise.

But a retroactive boost is ridiculous, especially considering their gold-plated health insurance packages.

We like our representatives, so this is not a referendum on their performance, but rather of the body as a whole.

With the corruption scandals that have roiled the state; the last-minute flurry of legislation this past June and watered-down ethics reform packages, there’s not a lot to love about the way our state government is functioning right now.

We certainly shouldn’t be rewarding them with such a significant raise.

10thÊ AnnualÊ ALSÊ FundraiserÊ aÊ greatÊ success To the Editor: In June of 2006, the Mountain Riders Motorcycle Club hosted their first Annual ALS Motorcycle Rally & Ride.

The fundraiser was in honor of Au Sable Forks native, Johnny Nixon, who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease but succumb to his illness in 2007.

Ten years later, the Mountain Riders, M.C. has financially assisted numerous area residents diagnosed with ALS, maintaining our mission statement in hosting the first and only annual ALS fundraiser in the North Country Region to disburse 100 percent of the proceeds generated to those affected by this terrible disease.

On behalf of the Club members, we wish to thank local motorcycle clubs, non-members, North Country businesses, community members, media outlets and organizations for their years of commitment and generosity extended through donations and sponsorships.

We further wish to extend much thanks and appreciation to the families of the men and women diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease for their continued support toward the annual fundraiser.

The Club is grateful to the Au Sable Forks Knights of Columbus Council for generously donating a handcrafted Adirondack-themed bench (built by Knight Member and local artisan Ted Holzer) in honor of Sister Yvonne Teresa Cusson, who was diagnosed with ALS and was this year’s recipient.

We always welcome Troop B to participate in memory of retired New York state police investigators John Dwyer and Larry Bliss, who sadly passed away several years ago to Lou Gehrig’s Disease. This year, we wish to extend our

A

thanks and appreciation to Officer McCormick for his maintaining traffic safety as the bikers departed Main Street.

In marking the 10th year of the Annual ALS Fundraiser, it was truly an honor to have NYS Assemblywoman, Janet Duprey (R-Peru), as our guest speaker.

The Assemblywoman is aware of the increase and concern of Lou Gehrig’s in the North Country Region and supports all advocacy and fund raising efforts hosted throughout the year.

In conclusion, we thank everyone for the 10 years of support and commitment in raising thousands of dollars and continued awareness.

TrumpÊ aÊ Ô wolf Ê inÊ sheepÕ sÊ clothingÕÊ To the Editor: The Sun is right to suggest that “speaking out against Trump’s toxicity is the exact type of bipartisan North Country values we want in our representative.” (“Stefanik should be more forceful in denouncing Trump,” Aug. 13 edition.) Surely, if candidate Trump was wearing a swastika, or, perhaps more appropriately, a hammer and sickle armband, we would rightly demand such a denunciation.

Living in the North Country, we would expect our representatives to beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Elise Stefanik>Congresswoman, 21st District

elise.stefanik@mail.house.gov

‘Keeping my promises’ “From my first day in Congress, I have tirelessly worked across party lines to keep my promises,” writes US Rep. Elise Stefanik

T

wo years ago, when I ran for Congress, I promised to bring new ideas and a new generation of leadership to Washington on behalf of the North Country.

I promised you that my top priority would be to fight for jobs and economic opportunity for North Country families.

And from the day I took the oath of office, I have worked with both Republicans and Democrats to pass key legislation to help our North Country economy grow.

In Congress, we have passed important laws laying the groundwork for fundamental tax reform so we can have a flatter, fairer, simpler tax code that helps families and small businesses plan for the future. We also have passed important regulatory reform to reign in an overreaching federal government.

There is more work to be done in the future, which is why I remain committed to achieving comprehensive tax and regulatory reform so our businesses can grow and create more good paying jobs for North Country families.

Our District is geographically the largest Congressional District in New York State, so we understand that the quality of our infrastructure — our roadways, waterways, and bridges — is tied to the health of our economy.

For the first time in a decade, we passed a bipartisan, multi-year highway bill to provide important long term investment for our infrastructure.

Our economy needs predictability and certainty, and this highway bill allows us to stop passing short term, stopgap measures so that important manufacturers like Bombardier and NovaBus can plan and grow.

In our region, where the transportation equipment sector employs more than 8,000 workers, passing that bill was vital, and I’m proud of my role in its enactment.

Leadership in Washington also means standing up to your own party to

support economic growth at home.

That’s why I voted to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, an important program for key North Country businesses across our district, including New York Air Brake, Swarovski and Belcam. The Export-Import bank ensures that job creators like these can continue to compete on a level playing field with foreign nations, while keeping manufacturing jobs here in New York and in the United States.

I also promised to be a voice for commonsense reforms to our healthcare system. In my first year in office, I authored the repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s auto-enrollment mandate — the largest fix to Obamacare this Congress. My legislation, signed by President Obama into law, reduces harmful penalties on individuals and employers, and protects North Country jobs.

I’ve led the fight to repeal the burdensome medical device tax on firms across our district that produce products to help North Country families live healthier, safer lives. This is an especially important issue in Warren County, which is known as “catheter valley.”

We were successful in securing a two-year delay in this onerous tax, leading AngioDynamics to announce that they will take the $4.3 million in savings for their business and use it to create jobs in our community.

In the North Country, we understand the importance of Canada as our nation’s largest trading partner. Plattsburgh has even branded itself as Montreal’s “U.S. Suburb,” with 15 percent of its area workforce working for a Canadian or border-related employer.

That is why I helped lead the effort to introduce the Promoting Travel, Commerce and National Security Act — a necessary step to finalize the preclearance agreement between the U.S. and Canada, which was reached nearly a year ago.

Increasing commerce with our Canadian neighbors is a top economic priority for our region, and this legislation will help build increased economic ties while supporting travel, commerce and tourism between our two nations. This is a landmark piece of legislation for U.S. and Canadian relations and I look forward to helping move it through Congress this year.

Agriculture is also critical to our North Country economy. I have cosponsored legislation to reform our H2A visa program to help our workforce, and introduced legislation to expand broadband access to rural farmers.

These represent real results for the hardworking families in our district.

From my first day in Congress, I have tirelessly worked across party lines to keep my promises. There is, however, much more work to be done to keep our North Country economy growing.

I’m proud to serve the 21st District as a new generation of leadership in Washington. I’ll continue to fight for new ideas on behalf of the North Country – and that means working with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WhatÊ wouldÊ PresidentÊ TrumpÊ do?

To the Editor: Republicans seem to have different views when the wind shifts.

The newest bit of dumb talk centers on our country giving back $400 million that belonged to Iran dating back to President Reagan’s Executive order to do so.

If President Obama didn’t get back five Americans held in Iran after the exchange of their money, Republicans would be screaming that he left them!

Since our President held back on returning their money until they returned our citizens, Republicans are now saying we paid ransom.

Call it what you like but the facts are the money belonged to Iran and the hostages are now free. I would guess the families of those held hostage could care less how they were released!

I have to ask, “What would President Trump do” if he were in the same position?

Now Trump is going after the Clinton Foundation that has spent millions saving lives and taking care of those less fortunate. This is a message from him and Republicans that they don’t carry the Christian values they espouse to have.

The Clinton Foundation has a record of spending that supports its purpose of helping to relieve the pain and suffering for many.

As a Christian, I support any organization that helps those who need help.

The Republican message rings hollow when it comes to caring not only for Americans but for those in the world who through no fault of their own need help.

Trump now has new campaign coordinators who are tempering his outlandish outbreaks of insanity by writing on a teleprompter what he should say. Do these people believe the American public is stupid?

Trump has his supporters and they will be with him to the end no matter what he says or does. These are people who care about no one but themselves and who would have fallen in with Hitler. All one has to do is watch the faces of Trump’s followers as he spews out hate in his speeches.

I can assure every one that I won’t be holding my nose when I vote for Hillary Clinton as she has shown more Christian values than most who call themselves Christians.

ThurmanÊ boardÊ membersÊ Ê Ô turnÊ theirÊ backsÊ onÊ theÊ publicÕ Ê withÊ vote To the Editor: The Thurman town board supervisor, Evelyn Wood, has pulled off yet another amazing miracle. Last month a special meeting was called to allow the public an opportunity to address the town board with their opinions relating to whether we should stay with three part time elected assessors, or change to a sole appointed assessor.

It seemed like more of the town’s residents wanted to leave it alone and not change; after all, this issue had been voted down five times in the past. I talked to a couple of people who had kept a tally of who was in favor and who was against. They agreed most wanted to leave it alone.

At the last meeting, the issue was brought up. The four board members

shared their opinions with every one. Ms. Wood didn’t express an opinion.

The public was again not allowed to speak. A vote of the board was taken, four to change one to leave it alone. At that point those four board members turned their backs on the public.

You might think that, after taking the time to have these meetings, these four board members would actually listen to the Thurman residents.

It looked like if it were put up for a public vote the residents would have voted it down again. This would have been the right thing to do. I think a lot of others would agree, the board should not have taken the approach that they did. It would have been a lot easier to put this issue up for a public vote and live with the outcome.

Keith L. Parent Sr. Thurman / Athol

MediaÊ biasedÊ againstÊ Trump To the Editor: First I would like to address you on Congresswoman Stefanik’s position on the Republican nominee for president.

I voted for her and have followed her input and positions on concerns to her constituents. In my opinion, she has done well in representing the people in her district. She has demonstrated an understanding of the issues surrounding her, including D. Trump. The last thing she needs is advice from a left wing editorial board in the tank for Hillary.

I see most her issues benefiting far more from a Trump victory than Clinton. So I would suggest you back off!

Your editorials are prejudiced against D. Trump. I have yet to see you stand up and support him on immigration, on education, on his availability (unlike Clinton), foreign business deals or health care reform.

Need I go on? I don’t think so. Yet I have not seen you challenge Clinton on any of her numerous faults, why?

She has lied repeatedly for 25 years that I have been watching, do you need a list? Her support by a failed president and his policies, which have and continue to damage America, are an insult to the American people.

Raises questions on just how far did he go to keep her out of jail.

Gentlemen, please don’t use your position to advance corruption in our system of government by openly supporting Clinton!

COMMENTARY

The collapse of Obamacare Insurer bailouts are a waste of taxpayer dollars Phil Kerpen

Columnist

T

he health insurance exchanges that are the beating heart of Obamacare are on the edge of collapse, with premiums rising sharply for ever narrower provider networks, nonprofit health co-ops shuttering their doors, and even the biggest insurance companies heading for the exits amid mounting losses.

Three states - Alaska, Alabama, and Wyoming - are already down to just a single insurance company, as are large parts of several other states, totaling at least 664 counties.

UnitedHealth is pulling out completely, Humana is pulling out of 88 percent of counties it was in, and last weak Aetna strongly suggested it will be exiting, too, unless it gets bribed to stay with a huge, annual infusion of direct corporate bailout payments from taxpayers.

Dealing with the wreckage will be at the top of the agenda for the new president and Congress next year, and their options will be limited especially if, as appears likely, we will continue to have divided government.

The most likely outcome, then, is the muddled middle, keeping gravely ill Obamacare on life support, with the major policy fight being over the extent to which taxpayers should be forced to provide billions in corporate bailout cash infusions.

Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini was pretty blatant in a recent interview with Zachary Tracer of Bloomberg.

Here’s the key part: “Rather than transferring money among insurers, the law should be changed to subsidize insurers with government funds,” Bertolini said.

“It needs to be a non-zero sum pool in order to fix it,’ Bertolini said.”

In other words: everybody is losing money, so taxpayers need to pick up the tab.

The Obama administration is already playing fast and loose with the law to shovel as many bailout bucks to insurers as they can - on top of Obamacare’s huge subsidies to lower income consumers and a penalty tax on people who don’t buy in. They shortchanged taxpayers by $3.5 billion that, contrary to law, they sent to insurance companies instead.

Democrats will support legalizing these payments and authorizing even larger direct corporate bailouts on an ongoing basis as a way to keep insurance companies in the Obamacare exchanges.

Republicans will be attacked as saboteurs for resisting bailout payments, but that misses the point.

Direct corporate welfare to bribe companies to participate in a poorly designed program is throwing good money after bad.

We won’t be able to get to a real solution until we acknowledge that Obamacare is too rigidly structured and regulated to offer products people actually want, and needs to be reformed or replaced with genuine, functioning markets that give us a much wider variety of plans.

Before that can happen, Obamacare supporters need to be held accountable for the law’s manifest failures - not permitted to paper them over with billions more of our tax dollars.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Distraction and mood

I

t often feels like the passing of time is a matter of perspective.

It’s as if existing somewhere is a complex equation involving distraction and mood, the combination of which determines how quickly time speeds by.

Let’s say that you get out of school at 4 p.m., and it’s currently 3:50 p.m. If you’re free from stimulation, and you’re aggrieved, perhaps this ten minutes will seem like the longest of your life. Each minute will stretch out before you like an accordion; a compact structure unfolding and expanding beyond what seems reasonable.

If you’re older, bogged down by work and stressed out that you will not finish on time, then it is possible that this ten minutes will, given the ironic world we live in, seem to speed by with the steady efficiency of a Japanese bullet train.

Distraction and mood.

In reality, time passes of its own accord. It’s our perspective that changes.

Though some circumstances are unchangeable, most of the time we do have the ability to entertain ourselves and change our mood. Those things are yours to change.

OneÊ HundredÊ YearsÊ AgoÊ Ð Ê August,Ê 1916

Candidate’s first campaign tour

Charles Evans Hughes, a native of Glens Falls, is on his first presidential campaign tour. It will carry him to the Pacific Coast and back. He is accompanied by Mrs. Hughes who will attend several of the important meetings with him. He is quoted as saying, “I am entering upon the trip with the greatest zest.”

Hughes will also be accompanied on the trip by several representatives of the Republican National Committee.

(Update: On June 10, 1916, when Hughes was nominated as the Republican candidate for the presidency, a score of bells and whistles went off in Glens Falls, his home town. A baby boy was born in Glens Falls on that memorable day and his parents named him, “Charles Evans Williams.” The proud father said that he sincerely hoped that his boy would be a presidential candidate himself someday.)

Bullet strikes little girl Hazel Hitchcock, 12, a daughter of Urban Hitchcock, of Bakers Mills, was shot in the leg Thursday, Aug. 10, 1916 by her cousin, a son of Burt Hitchcock of East Hampton, Conn., who is spending the summer at Bakers Mills. The bullet was fired from a 22 caliber rifle and is embedded deep in the girl’s right thigh. Physicians have painfully probed for it but have been unable to locate it.

The boy, who is about fourteen years of age, is staying at the home of William Millington. He was playing with the little girl and several other children near the Millington home when the accident occurred. Young Hitchcock was showing the gun to his young playmates when it was accidentally discharged and lodged in the little girl’s thigh.

Dr. J.L. Fuller and Dr. Lee Somerville were summoned from North Creek. The wound is not considered serious unless blood poison sets in. X-ray examination might be needed.

Car plunged over bridge Six people were injured and narrowly escaped death when an automobile driven by F.W. Judge, of Plattsburgh, plunged off an embankment on the east side of the bridge over the Ausable river, about eighteen rods above Ausable Falls. The car landed on the rocks thirty feet below and four of the occupants were thrown into the river, the other two being caught by a projecting ledge.

The accident was witnessed by other autoists who gave first aid and the victims were taken to the Plattsburgh Hospital. It

is thought that all will recover.

Sheriff Baker had a tussle Sheriff Charles H. Baker was brought to the realization of the strenuosity of his job on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 17, 1916, when he arrested a man at Hague who answered to a description of a fugitive sought by the Poughkeepsie police on a forgery charge.

The arrest was made as one of the big boats was docking at Hague and the prisoner gave the sheriff a hard fight before submitting to capture. The sheriff, however, was equal to the job for though not a large man, he is tough and wiry and with an abundance of “sand,” is a hard man to get away from in a scrap.

Men coming from Poughkeepsie, however, said the prisoner was not the man wanted.

Forest fires abound Fire is raging on Deer Leap Mountain, one mile north of the Stony Creek depot. Forest Ranger Austin is on hand there with a force of men.

In another instance, there was a fire set on Huckleberry Mountain in Thurman on Sunday evening, Aug. 20, 1916. In South Johnsburgh the people at church could see the firebugs in the distance when they started the fires. A.T. Crandall and L.E. Crandall took a crew of men out on foot to fight the fire all night. The flames covered a large territory and burned considerable timber.

Woman Suffrage in the news Mrs. C.J. Nordstrom, of Diamond Point, has been named as alternate campaign district delegate to the National Suffrage Convention, to be held Sept. 6 to 10, 1916 in Atlantic City.

Mrs. Nordstrom is the sister of Assemblyman H.E.H. Brereton who together with Senator Whitney introduced the suffrage resolution in the legislature. Mrs. George Notman, of Keene Valley will be the official delegate from Essex County.

An attendance of 3,000 women from all parts of the country is expected. The endorsement of Women Suffrage is held by five political parties this year. Republican presidential

candidate Charles Evans Hughes says that he strongly favors prompt settlement of this question.

Johnsburgh lady passes away Mrs. Fannie Armstrong, 78, of Johnsburgh, died Aug. 17, 1916 in her home at Mill Creek, after a long illness and great suffering. She was an old resident of Johnsburgh and had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for many years.

She leaves three sons, George, John and Warren Armstrong. Burial was in the Johnsburgh Cemetery, the Rev. L.L. Lawrence officiating.

Stylish Stony Creek store Lynch’s Big Bargain Store, in Stony Creek, is selling human hair switches for ladies at $1.25 and up. Every switch is made of excellent quality natural, wavy, guaranteed human hair in all shades.

Lake building progresses Wesley Morehouse, of Sodom, is splitting stone for the new dam that the Ross brothers are building. (Update: Brothers Wesley and Dr. H.L. Ross were in the process of building Lake Ross, in Sodom, at the former estate of their father. The entire story is in this column in the Aug. 20, 2016 issue of this newspaper.)

Sweet and sour notes The upcoming band concert will attract a big crowd to Pasco’s Park, Warrensburgh. The musicians are always sure of a large and appreciative audience when they play in this part of town. (The former Pasco’s Park is now Floyd Bennett Park on Main Street.)

Deputy Sheriff Charles Baker, of Bakers Mills, has a new winning race horse, “Gypsy Queen,” driven by his son, Dick Baker.

The broom handle factory at Stony Creek has been closed for several weeks to allow for needed repairs.

Lewis Fish, of Hague, is the owner of a new five-passenger Overland auto which he purchased only recently. Martin Vanhusen is home from Orwell, Vt. and he is driving a new horse which he purchased there.

DEC Record number of bear complaints this season

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

INDIAN LAKE — Bears are lumbering into towns all around the Adirondack Park this summer.

They’re hungry and doing whatever bears can do to root out food, often from garbage bins, sometimes tearing through parked cars or even banging on doors.

One night earlier this month, Rory Riggins, 18, got a frantic call from his cousin, Arianna, who was visiting them in Keene Valley.

A bear was trying to bust into their glassed-in back porch.

“I was at dinner and got a call from my cousin who said there was a bear banging at the back door,” Rory said.

The Riggins, who run the Keene Valley Hostel on Route 73, keep trash secured in bins on the porch — behind closed doors. >> See BEARS | pg. 16

BOLTON LANDING – The Lake George Land Conservancy (LGLC) has acquired 65 acres in the Town of Putnam from Thomas and Christine Bain.

The land contains important wetlands and includes a significant part of the Sucker Brook marsh, which drains directly into Lake George at Glenburnie.

The acquisition also protects a large area of rare northern white cedar swamp. This habitat type is threatened statewide by development, habitat alteration, and recreational overuse, as well as invasive species, such as purple loosestrife and reedgrass.

“Sucker Brook and its marsh have been a part of my family

for five generations,” said Thomas Bain. “Knowing that it is protected, and in turn offers a small portion of protection to Lake George into which it runs, gives me great satisfaction.”

The acquisition is part of the LGLC’s Bridge the Nose Initiative, which will allow the LGLC to complete its 10-year effort to conserve the 2,000-acre Sucker Brook complex in order to protect the water quality of Lake George, connect existing lands protected by the LGLC and New York State for recreation and wildlife, and conserve the region’s rare northern white cedar swamp ecosystem.

This most recent acquisition is adjacent to the LGLC’s Gull Bay and Last Great Shoreline Preserves, filling in a gap between the properties. The LGLC expects to extend the preserves’ trail systems to include a strategically placed boardwalk along or through the northern white cedar swamp with wildlife viewing platforms.

JohnsburgÊ CentralÊ SchoolÊ toÊ bringÊ educationÊ intoÊ theÊ digitalÊ age JOHNSBURG — As students return to Johnsburg Central School (JCS) in the weeks to come, they will have access to devices that are all new to JCS. Students in grades PreK-3 will have several Apple iPad mobile devices in their classrooms.

Teachers will have the ability to add educational apps to these devices. Under the direction of their teachers, students will be able to access the Internet, having a world of knowledge at their fingertips.

All students in grades 4-12 will be issued a Hewlett Packard Chromebook. The HP Chromebook is a laptop computer that runs on the Chrome operating system. The Chromebook is a device that makes learning more engaging and accessible.

Effective teaching and learning with Chromebooks integrates technology into the curriculum anytime, anyplace. By using their Chromebooks at school, students will have the opportunity to work on class assignments within the Google Application Suite throughout the school day. If a student has a device (desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.) that can access the Google Chrome browser, they can then continue their schoolwork on that de-

vice at home.

There will be a Digital Citizenship/Computer Safety assembly for students in grades 4-12 on Wednesday, Sept. 7. Representatives from WSWHE BOCES, NYS Troopers, and Warren County Sheriff ’s Department will be presenting. Students will learn about the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use, as well as the legal ramifications of inappropriate use. JCS is also planning a similar presentation for parents prior to Open House on Sept. 21.

More details are forthcoming.

“Johnsburg Central School is very excited to kick off the 2016-2017 school year by introducing these devices to our students,” said Johnsburg principal Heather Flanigan.

“Technology is so important in the education of all our students. It will be a part of their future for many years to come. At JCS, teachers will be exposing students to the tools of the world while equipping them to use those tools properly. We will be active and intentional in teaching students how to use technology effectively and to its fullest potential.”

Classes for Johnsburg students will start on Tuesday, Sept. 6.

Chester to host book sale, book signing Sept. 14 CHESTERTOWN — Chestertown will host a book sale and book signing on Sept. 14 at the farmer’s market on Main Street. Authors of “The Underground Railroad in the Adirondack Town of Chester,” Donna Lagoy and Laura Seldman, will be signing books from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, contact Nancy Tennyson at 494-3244.

“It was trying to push down the door,” Rory said.

“It put a hole in the screen and then knocked out the glass window of the porch.”

He hurried the 3 miles or so to get home.

Rory yelled at the bear and it scampered off into the woods.

“The next night it came back, it was up in a tree. It tried to come back to the porch door and my dad (Jake Riggins) scared it away.”

The cousins from out-of-town were nonplussed by their close encounter with a bear, Rory said.

“My cousin was terrified. The bear wasn’t very big, I think it was fairly young.”

The family reported the marauding bear to the Department of Environmental Conservation, one among an extraordinary number of bear encounter reports called in this summer to DEC from all over: Long Lake, Raquette Lake, Saranac Lake, Keene Valley, North Elba and even at the edge of the park as far south as Fort Ann. BANNER YEAR FOR BEAR ENCOUNTERS Jim Stickles is the DEC Region 5 wildlife biologist assigned to manage bears.

“This has definitely been a banner year for bear encounters in the Adirondacks,” he told the Sun in a recent interview.

The bears here are all Black Bears, Stickles said.

They are coming out of the forests into towns to find food. Normally, bears survive on berries, fruits and various types of vegetation.

“But when we have dry years like this, the food sources are not

STEPS TO AVOID BEARS DEC encourages homeowners, vacationers and businesses to take the following steps to avoid bear conflicts: •

Keep garbage, grills, pet food, and bird seed inside a solid, secure structure (house, shed, garage, etc.).

•

If grills cannot be secured, move them away from the house and remove the grease trap after each use.

•

Put garbage on the curb the morning of collection, not the night before.

•

Secure dumpster lids with chains or metal rods, or protect with electric fencing.

•

Remove all bird/squirrel feeders and suet.

•

Close garage doors, and ground floor windows/doors at night.

•

Protect livestock and beehives with electric fence.

abundant or have dried out to the point where they’re not valuable as food anymore,” Stickles said.

Stickles was familiar with several of the creatures that have been rummaging around the Hamlet of Keene Valley.

“We’ve had a male and a mother with two cubs in that area that we’re monitoring,” Stickles said.

The male was hit last week by a car on Route 73 and killed, Stickles said.

The mother bear is still being monitored.

DEC watches and classifies nuisance bears in a system that ranges from Class 1 (more dangerous) to Class 4.

This allows biologists to isolate a dangerous bear from others that exhibit more normal behavior and remain wary of people.

When bears begin to exhibit behavior that causes structural damage to property, it becomes a different story, the DEC biologist said.

Right now, DEC is trying to capture a bear in Raquette Lake that has been breaking into cabins and destroying property in the process.

But that’s not the only bear burglar.

BEAR BARRAGE OLD FORGE In Old Forge, a bear broke into a car parked at the Old Forge Camping Resort off Route 28, according to recent news reports.

The owners, Franklin and Lexi Smith, shared their story via social media, telling how they watched as the bruin, a mom with cubs, triggered the car’s alarm by jumping on the hood. The alarm unlocked the car doors, and the bear got inside. Then the doors shut.

The angry mother bear completely destroyed the interior of the Smith’s car in the few minutes before security showed up.

A friend of the Smith’s, Joseph A Rizzo Jr., posted a photo of the shredded car on his Facebook page, adding his part of the story about that bear: “I hear some noises outside our tent, peak my head out and it’s just three bears and one is INSIDE Claudia Rizzo

SARANAC LAKE’S BEARS Numerous calls from a wide swath of the Village of Saranac Lake have DEC looking there in earnest to find a bothersome bear.

Winchell shared a map showing much of the northern section above Lake Flower where sightings have occurred.

But there might be more than one bear.

On Branch Farm Rd. in Saranac Lake — the other side of Lake Flower — resident Jim Fuller set up a trail camera about two weeks ago.

“He could be swimming the lake,” Fuller told the Sun. “I’ve had three discernible bear pictures, so far. It gets into the neighbor’s garbage. Every Saturday, vacation rentals flip over, so the garbage cans are full with one group leaving and another coming in. And he’s been here every Saturday night. The bear makes a big mess,” Fuller said.

Stickles, the DEC wildlife biologist, said there haven’t been many reports of nuisance bears from Champlain Valley residents in towns like Willsboro, Essex or Westport.

“There are different vegetation and food sources throughout that section and that could play a part in why bears haven’t been as much of a problem as in the central Adirondacks,” he said.

The population, too, is less dense than in recreational camping areas in close proximity to the forest.

MANAGING BEARS Stickles is hoping that the rain in recent days will ripen the berry crops, brighten vegetation and entice bears back to their normal habitat.

“The apples are looking good this year as well. Hopefully they will be moving off to other primary food sources,” he said.

But if a bear does present threat to property, DEC will try to trap it.

DEC uses what is called a “culvert trap,” which is a length of metal culvert closed on one end, Winchell said.

The trap is permanently mounted to a trailer on wheels.

Bait entices the bear inside, and then a hatch on the open end closes shut.

Stickles said they do relocate male bears who may be establishing territory.

But relocating is not the primary solution: it does not solve the problem once a bear has become habituated to humans and human food.

Sometimes DEC will retrain a bear to not like people, a process called hazing.

At other times, DEC will tag a female bear with cubs in order to track it during the hibernation period, Stickles said.

If a bear has attacked a human, it could be euthanized.

But each bear is evaluated according to its behaviors.

“Not every situation is the same,” Stickles said.

People who wish to report nuisance bear behavior can call DEC Dispatch at Region 5 in Ray Brook: 897-1300.

‘Otis Mountain’ fest to draw over 2,000 Elizabethtown music festival returns for its fourth year with 37-band lineup

By Elizabeth Izzo

elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — There is only one event that attracts over 2,000 people and 30 live acts to Elizabethtown every year, and it’s coming up fast.

Otis Mountain Get Down.

The festival is back for its fourth year on Sept. 9-11, and with the venue almost booked to capacity, organizers expect it to be the biggest year yet.

For the uninitiated, Otis Mountain is a music and arts festival hosted on an old ski hill in the heart of the Adirondacks.

The venue, now simply called Otis Mountain, was once the Elizabethtown Ski Center, a public ski hill operation that ran from 19401959.

In a 1940 editorial on the ski hill, reprinted in “Lost Ski Areas” by Jeremy Davis, a writer gushed about the beloved place: “It is refreshing that so many of both adults and younger sports fans are taking a real interest ... The Elizabethtown Ski Club merits the congratulations of the entire community. This reporter joins heartily in its recommendation.”

Otis Mountain was lost for nearly 16 years, according to “Lost Ski Areas,” until Jeff Allott purchased the property and reopened it as a semi-private ski area and music venue.

Over the years, the Otis Mountain festival has seen acts of all genres and from all levels of notoriety.

This year, the lineup will feature artists from as close as Elizabethtown, to as far away as France.

“Personally, I’m looking forward to Kepa,” said Zach Allott, an organizer for the event and son of landowner Jeff Allott. “He’s a super cool singer-songwriter from southern France.”

Festival go-ers at last year’s Otis Mountain fest.

will join the many bluesy, soulful acoustic acts playing at Otis Mountain, including the Suitcase Junket, Whisky Shivers, Upstate Rubdown and City of the Sun to name a few.

But this isn’t your average, run-of-themill bluegrass fest: The lineup also features acts like hip hop/house DJ SnakeFoot, wild rock and rollers Ron Gallo, synthpop outfit How Sad, indie-punks Vundabar and Mosaic Foundation, a reggae group from the Finger Lakes.

“Otis brings together lots of different people, because there are so many genres represented,” said Allott.

Gem*Radio Theatre present old-fashioned radio drama

CHESTERTOWN — The Adirondacks will once again hear the adventures of the Lone Ranger and Tonto on radio.

Gem*Radio Theatre will present “The Lone Ranger” as a radio drama on Aug. 27-28 and Sept. 9 and 11 at four theaters in the central Adirondacks.

Under the direction of Hannah Jay, the audience will watch a theatrical production that is staged as a live radio broadcast for the radio station WADK. Actors will step to the microphone to play multiple parts, while the ‘foley artist’ - sound effect masters - create sounds that will make you believe the man of justice is on the stage.

Organizers say that the crew of Gem*Radio Theatre will take the audience back to the days when families sat around the Philco 90 to enjoy “theatre of the mind.”

The production will include several episodes of The Lone Ranger from “the golden days of radio, when good triumphed over evil,” according to organizers. Included is the original first episode with “Bad Man’s Revenge” and “Footlights on the Frontier.”

The group will perform in Chestertown, North Creek, Blue Mountain Lake and Indian Lake.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under.

For more information, contact gemradiotheatre@gmail.com.

“[This year] we’ll be pushing activities like hiking to round out weekend. There will also be more art.”

For $50 per ticket, this weekend experience is “mind-blowingly cheap,” according to Elena Childers of Break Thru Radio.

But tickets are selling out fast: As of Monday, just general admission tickets are left.

“We are already close to our capacity of 2,500,” said Allott.

Those tickets can be found at otismountain.com.

When asked where they hope the festival will be in five years, organizers said: “We

hope to keep bringing people into the area to see the town.”

Next week: The Sun will speak with headliners Lewis Del Mar, the Columbia Records artists who have performed at Otis Mountain in years prior, and have since been signed by one of the biggest record labels in the country.

The Otis Mountain Get Down will begin Friday, Sept. 9 and run until Sunday, Sept. 11.

The festival will feature three stages and over 30 artists. For more information, visit otismountain.com.

Local officials propose creating a nature park near town hall Staff Report

LAKE GEORGE — In the years ahead, local residents and visitors will be able to a compact woodsy park complete with a nature trail, a stream and a pond or two near the town hall —if plans of town government materialize.

The Lake George town board is now pursuing initial steps to preserve a forested area just west of the town hall and establish a six-acre municipal park.

It has been at least 30 years since the town has created a park or set aside land for open space.

The town recently submitted an application to the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation for a $250,000 grant to bankroll the design, land acquisition and development of the park.

Earlier this summer, the town board voted unanimously to hire an appraiser to determine the value of the land, which is now owned privately. and has been available to purchase for a few years.

Lake George Planning Director Dan Barusch said the acreage was one of the last undeveloped woodsy plots in the village. Preliminary plans describe it as an ideal place for walking, jogging, and taking one’s dog — on a leash — for a jaunt.

“This proposed park would provide everybody in town with a great new recreational opportunities,” Barusch said.

Also, it would provide an ideal site for town and village employees to take a lunchtime break from their work routine, town board member Muratori has said.

Earlier this summer, a group of about 20 village and town officials, municipal planners and engineers gathered with Barusch and walked through the forested acreage to experience its potential as a park.

Muratori, who years ago developed the concept of this nature park, said those who’ve reviewed the park plans have been enthusiastic about the proposal.

“It’s a wonderful natural resource,” she said of the land that’s presently zoned residential. “We’ve been getting lots of citizen support, and we’ve been encouraged enough to keep on moving the concept forward.”

The six-acre plot of land is located at the west end of Lake George Village at the base of Prospect Mountain, off Old Post Road and southeast of the Northway Exit 22 spur. It is one of the few remaining woodsy areas in the village, and Muratori said it provides a buffer zone between The Northway and the northwestern residential section of the village.

Already, the wooded land is supporting air and water quality and providing important watershed protection by soaking up runoff from Prospect Mountain and the Northway, according to Muratori.

She said the property features one of the village’s few natural year-around streams — one that has not been piped underground, diverted or directed through a culvert. This plot also provides natural protection from stormwater runoff, as well as hosting important native plants, birds and small animals, Muratori said.

The park proposal suggests that foot paths surfaced with wood chips be developed in the woods, accompanied by wooden benches and a rustic pedestrian bridge or two. About one mile of foot paths could be developed in the park, Barusch said this week. Barusch and Muratori have suggested that several stream pools be created along the waterway’s course.

The trails would connect neighborhoods and promote intown walking by people of all ages, the proposal notes.

The northern trail-head would be located at an existing landscaped mini-park behind the town hall in the Lake George municipal complex which has two large parking lots.

The southern entrance to the park could be located at the end of Cooper Street Extension.

Many decades ago, trolley tracks once ran through the property. The rail bed for the tracks, extending between these two entrances, could be developed as a bicycle path. Mura-

tori said that long-term plans for the Warren County Bikeway include extending the bicycle path through the village backstreets and onto the trolley right-of-way, perhaps to Warrensburg.

She has proposed that the work developing the park could be provided by SUNY Albany landscaping and forestry students and instructors, minimizing cost to local taxpayers.

Her proposal also states that minimal maintenance would be required by town and village staff. Caretaking the property could be conducted by adult volunteers or by local youth as a community service effort.

Town supervisor Dennis Dickinson offered his thoughts recently about the park proposal, noting how it would enhance the value of surrounding properties as well as providing opportunities for recreation, rejuvenation, and exercise.

“The proposal is a great idea,” he said. “A park on those six acres would add a valuable attribute to our community.”

Cornell University touts road inventory program Internship program enlists students to monitor local road conditions

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Need an update on road conditions in Ticonderoga?

Just ask Sam Shelmidine and Colvin Chapman, a pair of Ticonderoga Central grads who spent the summer studying local roads as part of the Cornell Local Roads Program Summer Internship Program.

Using software provided by the university, the pair created an inventory of town-controlled roads and graded their conditions on a five-point scale.

Mapping out these conditions allows municipalities to prioritize and aid in planning, said Geoffrey Scott, a technical assistance engineer who helps towns implement the project.

Scott urged members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors Public Safety Committee to consider the internship for

their communities.

Ticonderoga Supervisor Joe Giordano said the program was successful in his town because it helped make budgeting easier; it gave the kids valuable job experience (both Shelmidine and Colvin will pursue engineering), and lets residents know the town is on top of road issues.

Allowing roads, which take a beating in the winter, to deteriorate ends up costing more in the long-run, the lawmaker said.

“The idea is to keep good roads good, and fix the poor ones as you go along.”

All towns can apply for the internship program, which contains 18 slots. The application fee is $60.

Cornell will provide the training and software. Towns will be responsible for all additional costs, including a vehicle and an hourly wage.

Total costs in Ticonderoga for the six-week program were $6,500.

Following a presentation, county lawmakers appeared receptive, but voiced initial concerns over costs

“I think it’s something we might be interested in if we can find the money,” said James Monty (R-Lewis) after the meeting.

Moriah has 50 miles of town roads and bridges and 18 miles of sidewalks.

“That could be a great tool to have for capital planning,” said Tom Scozzafava (R-Moriah). “That’s something that we need here.”

Michael “Ike” Tyler (R-Westport) said his town would be unlikely to pursue the project because they have already mapped out a long-term plan for road maintenance.

“I’m looking at it, researching it, but I’m not sure if it’s a good thing for Westport,” Tyler said after the meeting.

Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Randy Preston (I-Wilmington) asked if the program had examined taking a look at alternatives to road salt.

“There’s increasing science that says road salt is destroying our watershed,” said Preston, who also cited the substance as a factor in bridge erosion. “It’s increasingly becoming more of a hot topic.”
