Nepotism charged in hiring

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com

By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Inquiring minds want to know whether a last name helps or hinders a person’s chance of getting a job in Essex County government. Following intense scrutiny from a handful of residents, Essex County supervisors are considering the creation of an ethics committee, and they may begin requiring more disclosure of personal and family relationships between county leadership and candidates for county employment. Over the last few months, the hiring of several close relatives of County Manager Dan Palmer and his wife, Board of Supervisors Clerk Deborah Doyle-Palmer, have some residents wondering if nepotism is running rampant in Essex County. But county supervisors and department heads refuted the rumors and allegations of unfair hiring practices, calling the claims unfounded. At an organizational meeting of the county Board of Supervisors Jan. 4, Essex resident Sandy Lewis addressed the group and urged greater disclosure of the county's hiring process, particularly when family members of current employees are involved. Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas said he doesn’t believe any bias now taints hiring decisions, but said it may be

SCHROON LAKE — Jessica Bowen wants to share her obsession with everyone. The Schroon Lake photographer/artist has just released her first book, Things I Can Not Recall. The book is a collection of photos by Bowen, a 2006 graduate of Schroon Lake Central School. “I’ve always loved the arts,” Bowen explained. “I’m OK at drawing and painting, but nothing special. I wanted a career in art and my uncle suggested photography. He thought I had an eye for it.” Apparently so. After graduating from Schroon Lake, Bowen attended Word of Life Bible Institute, took several college art classes and then enrolled at Adirondack Community College. She earned her associates degree in commercial and media arts in December. While at ACC her work was selected for several students shows, including a national exhibit at Montclair State University in New Jersey. Bowen plans on taking a semester off to work at a children’s camp and orphanage in Panama before seeking her bachelor ’s degree. She plans to study commercial, advertising and fashion photography. “I want to play around with all of them,”

Financial relief sought for commuters Proposal would aid motorists affected by bridge closure By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Help may be coming for New York commuters affected by the Lake Champlain Bridge closure. Local and state officials are investigating ways to provide financial relief to those who face the added

expense of a longer drive to and from work. Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava has suggested the money used to operate the Ticonderoga ferry — $17,000 a day — be used to mitigate the financial stress of the bridge closure. The Ti ferry closed Jan. 3 for the season. “Whether it’s a possibility, I don’t know,” Scozzafava said. “But it’s worth exploring. I don’t want to build up people’s hopes.” New York State is already providing financial assistance to businesses impacted by the situation. “I think it’s fine that there is relief

for businesses,” Scozzafava said, “but a lot of individuals are suffering, too. Some are spending an extra $200-$300 a week in extra gasoline and day care. They need help. “For hundreds of people this is a daily nightmare,” he added. Scozzafava’s proposal has the support of the Essex County Board of Supervisors. “I am a proponent of this idea and hope that this a viable plan,” Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider said. “Nancy Dougal of the Essex County Transportation Department is looking into reimbursement for

Census jobs available By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Unemployment rates remain high across the North Country and the nation as a whole, but a valuable government program may provide some temporary opportunities for those in need of a job. The 2010 United States Census is currently undertaking a nationwide recruiting effort for people to help with collecting population statistics. Mary Miller is assistant manager for recruiting at the local census office in Glens Falls, which is in charge of census-taking efforts in Clinton, Essex, Hamilton, Warren, Washington, and Fulton counties. “We are offering $13 an hour plus mileage,” said Miller, “and in these hard economic times, that is good money.” And that’s just where it

starts, said George Demas, local census office manager in Glens Falls. There are positions available along a series of higher levels, each offering a higher rate of pay. Altogether, said Demas, the 2010 census will need to hire about 1,200 census-takers, also called enumerators, to seek out homes needed for the agency’s population count. “In order to work for the census, you have to take a test,” said Demas. The test will be administered at the Ticonderoga Community Building Jan. 25, Feb. 8 and Feb. 22 at 10 a.m.; at the Mineville VFW Jan. 22 at 6 p.m.; at the Crown Point town hall Feb. 8 at 10 a.m.; and at St. Patrick’s Church in Port

Henry Feb. 8 at 10 a.m. The field test, which consists of 28 multiple choice questions dealing with basic language and math skills, will qualify prospective workers for the vast majority of available positions. A separate supervisors’ test is also available to qualify for some of the managerial positions. However, Demas encouraged all supervisor applicants to take the field test as well, since the Census office often looks to hire managers from inhouse. There is no need to preregister for any of the tests, said Demas, and there’s no need for applicants to worry if they don’t perform well. “They can take the test again,” said Demas. “They

can take it as many times as they want and the highest score counts.” Applicants who take either of the tests are added to a database that acts as a hiring pool for local census offices. Demas said hiring people from within the communities they canvas is a high priority. “We need local people to do that,” said Demas. “They’re more effective at that than the people who are not from that area because they know the streets and they know the neighborhood.” Another important skill is foreign language, he said, since some of the homes census-takers visit may not be English-speaking.

6 - TIMES OF TI • OPINION

Fort Ti advocate to be missed To the Times of Ti: We have lost a great friend, leader and spokesman for Fort Ticonderoga. Ed Pell died Jan. 4 after a valiant battle. He will be remembered as one of the major figures in the fort’s revival, serving as treasurer and a member of the board of trustees from 1987 until 1999 and then as president of the board of trustees from 1999 until 2004. Eddy presided over the key transition from a family-dominated board of trustees to one balanced with talented outside trustees. He also managed the transfer of the presidency to Deborah Mars, the first head of the board outside of the Pell family. Ed’s outstanding intellect and his great sense of people and statesmanship served the fort well. He was universally liked and respected by all. Perhaps the most important events in his term of office was the conceptualization and then the beginning of construction of the Deborah Mars Education Center, the most important addition to the fort’s capabilities during the last half century of the fort’s

history. This is fitting, because at heart Ed was an educator and particularly enjoyed mentoring young people. It is safe to say that Fort Ticonderoga held a special place among Ed’s many interests, shifting over time from a responsibility to a passion, with a broad goal of having it be recognized as the great national and international historic site that it should be. Ed continued to be our representative on various federal and state boards where his many associations in government and political circles would be most helpful. He was particularly interested in building strong and functioning relationships with the town of Ticonderoga and related county and regional officials. Ed will be sorely missed by Fort Ticonderoga and the community. Tony Pell Fort Ticonderoga

Your “Pay to Play” is about 10 years overdue, good suggestion. The sportsmen in the North Country contribute in licensing and products sales fees, also ATV registrations but have the least opportunity to use public lands. Other users such as campers, and canoeist can use all the state lands and navigable waters free, hikers do far more damage to the trails than do snowmobilers. Who are the people who are saying the Adirondack Park is one the world’s greatest experiments? And a shining example of a park with people. Certainly not the residents living full time in the park. Your statement that the Adirondack Park is a “Central Park” for the world ignores the fact that the cost of maintaining Central Park is born by New York City whereas the Adirondack Park is financed off the backs of the property owners. Note 53 percent of the private lands are zoned 42.7 acres and 35 percent is zones 8.5 acres, that’s more than 50 percent of the private lands. In 1983, then Gov. Cuomo, said at a meeting in Elizabethtown, “aren’t the people compensated” the resounding word “no” was heard loud and clear at the meeting. The governor then said, “Well that isn’t written in stone.” So far to date it is. The statement that you made, non-hunters and non-anglers must contribute on a regular basis, is right on the money. This could be good for the environment, forest preserve, and the North Country. Joe Rota Putnam Station

Temporary bridge would sure be nice

eresa Sayward is a nice lady, too nice to say “I told you so.” Especially to people who are suffering extended commutes because of the Lake Champlain Bridge closure. When the bridge closed Oct. 16 after being deemed unsafe, Sayward was one of those who suggested the construction of a temporary bridge at Wright’s Ferry in the town of Putnam. That plan was assailed by critics who claimed the location was too far south of the regular bridge crossing in Crown Point. They wanted something closer. That meant ferry service. “I thought someone was going to hand my head to me when I suggested that,” Sayward said, recalling public meetings following the bridge closure. “But I live three miles from the ferry in Essex; I know about ferry service,” she said. “There have been plenty of times I’ve arrived at the ferry and not been able to get across. There are the waves, the wind, the ice in the winter. There are lots of problems with a ferry.” People who had been relying on the Ticonderoga ferry since the bridge closure now understand. A seasonal operation, that ferry wasn’t constructed for winter use. One day in December mechanical problems stranded the ferry for a few hours. Several days ice stopped the service. Finally, the ferry’s insurance company stepped in and said, “Enough!” Those who had been using the Ticonderoga ferry are now driving 40 miles north to the Essex ferry or 45 miles south to Whitehall to reach jobs, doctor ’s appointments and other engagements in Vermont. That’s an extra two hours added to a daily commute, not to mention additional expenses such as gasoline and child care. A temporary bridge in Putnam would sure look good now. “That bridge would be in place and in use right now had we pursued that option,” Sayward said. Hindsight is 20-20. What do we do now? A new bridge is planned at the site of the old span, but that won’t be ready until summer of 2011. With winter here there are few alternatives. The best hope for those who need to get to Vermont is the year-round ferry service now planned near the site of the former bridge in Crown Point. Work is under way — and has been. The new Crown Point ferry service was initially slated to open in December. Then it was Jan. 1. Now the target date is Jan. 31. Sayward is optimistic there will be a viable ferry service by the end of January. “There is never a sure thing,” the assemblywoman said. “Things can always go wrong, but I check on the progress of that ferry construction every day. I really believe it’ll be in place by the end of the month.” That will be a relief to motorists now driving two hours to get where they used to go in 30-45 minutes. But wouldn’t a bridge — temporary or permanent — be nice. Fred Herbst is Times of Ti editor. He can be reached at fred@denpubs.com

OPINION • TIMES OF TI - 7

Looking at supermarkets vs. supercenters

n my Super-Couponing classes, I’m often asked whether it’s easier just to shop at a supercenter, large grocery-discount store combinations that offer “every-day low prices,” or shop at a traditional, “more expensive” supermarket using coupons to achieve greater savings. If you’ve used coupons for any length of time, you know that it’s possible to achieve much betBy Jill Cataldo ter savings at the supermarket by following the sales and matching them with coupons. The reason? Believe it or not, the “every-day low price” strategy is the culprit. Supercenters maintain low prices, avoiding the traditional cycle of sales and price cuts common at supermarket chains. At a supercenter, a $2.50 box of cereal will sell for $2.50 this week, next week and three weeks from now. Meanwhile, over at the supermarket, the price of the same brand of cereal is fluctuating from high to low. It may be $2.99 one week, $2.49 the next and $1.99 the next. Many shoppers find comfort and a sense of confidence in knowing what prices will be, week after week, at a supercenter. But the truth is price fluctuations make supermarkets the best places to shop for someone who’s trying to save even more money. As we’ve learned, making the most of the supermarket’s price cycle can be advantageous to shoppers. When the price of a certain cereal brand takes a dip to $1.99, it’s less expensive than the supercenter ’s price. That’s when we move in and use our coupons to bring the price down even more. Sure, we could use the same coupon at the every-day lowprice store. But when the sale price of the item at the supermarket drops below the every-day low price of the supercenter, we save even more buying the item at the supermarket. Recently, a new supercenter opened in my town. During

Coupon Queen

its grand opening the store was abuzz with people lining up, excitedly waiting to take advantage of the low prices. I was curious to compare the new supercenter ’s prices with those at other supermarkets in our area. I had just been to the supermarket the previous day and I had my receipt showing the sale prices (before my coupon savings) on 21 different items. As I strolled the aisles of the new store, I was shocked to see the difference in prices on the same items I’d just purchased at the supermarket. What shocked me was how high they were. Of the 21 items on my receipt, 14 of the products’ “everyday” prices were significantly higher at the supercenter than the sale prices I’d paid one day earlier at the supermarket – in some cases, several dollars’ more on a single item. Six of the products I purchased were more expensive at the supermarket, but we’re talking pennies more, not dollars – in many cases, the difference between $1.97 and $1.99. And while it’s true that the regular prices of the supermarket sale items are often higher, smart shoppers aren’t paying those regular prices. We watch for sales and price drops, then move in and buy what we need when the price hits that low. Again, while I certainly could have used my coupons at the supercenter to buy the same products, I brought the supermarket’s lower prices down even more by using my coupons there. Low prices aren’t the only aspect of saving big, however. Supermarkets often offer additional promotions that can cut your grocery bill significantly. Next week, I’ll share the rest of this story and you’ll see how I took those groceries home from the supermarket for 69 percent less than I would have paid using the same coupons on the same items at the supercenter!

for that area.” Most census workers put in between 20 and 40 hours a week with very flexible schedules, said Demas, many choosing to work evenings and weekends when the houses they visit are more likely to be occupied. “They don’t go to every house,” said Demas. “They go to the houses that didn’t respond to the mail campaign.” Questionnaires are sent in March to all known homes and apartments across the country, explained Demas, and the majority are expected to respond by mail. “This year we have the shortest questionnaire in the history of the census,” said Demas, noting how the form has been shortened from years past to focus on just the most necessary information. “One of our main projects is to convince people of the value of being counted,” Demas said. Census information is primarily used in determining the population of an area for the purpose of determining representation in Congress and state legislatures. However, many

institutions, both public and private, rely on the population data to determine the need for services in a given area. “Not only is it good for them to be a part of this information, Demas said, “but it benefits the community as well.” Though the aggregate information is widely distributed, Demas stressed that the Census does not allow specific information about individuals to be shared, even with other governmental agencies. “We will not give your personal information to the IRS, immigration, or the FBI,” Demas said. “We have the most secure database with the most accurate population data.” Still, for whatever reason, not every home responds to the questionnaire by mail. That’s why workers are needed to locate the homes and determine the status of residents. A list of local testing sites are available on the U.S. Census Web site, www.census2010.gov. Applicants can also call a toll-free number, 1-866-861-2010, to find out about upcoming tests in their area.

County From page 1 time to list the many close relationships among county leadership and staff. “At this point we will do some study of it, but I don’t think it is running wild like everybody thinks it is,” Douglas said. Before taking the helm of the county, Douglas had chaired the Personnel Committee for five years. He noted that it may be time for the formation of a county Board of Supervisors ethics committee, which could oversee potential conflicts of interest and provide greater protection to the taxpayer. Supervisors typically only oversee the hiring of department heads, who in turn hire staff as long as the position already exists. County officials said department heads sometimes consult with the county manager and the personnel office before making a final decision. At least four members of the

Doyle-Palmer family have been hired into various county departments. Most recently, Deborah Palmer ’s sister-in-law, Patti Doyle, was hired by newlyelected District Attorney Kristy Sprague, and Deborah Palmer's brother, Patrick Doyle, was hired as a Department of Public Works mechanic only a few months prior. Patti Doyle’s daughter-inlaw, Erica Fuller Doyle was hired in the Personnel Department and Palmer ’s sister-inlaw, Shona, was hired to replace Patti Doyle as Deputy Republican Commissioner at the County Board of Elections. Deborah Palmer ’s daughter, Brianne Weber, is employed in the County Clerk’s office under Joe Provancha, who is Dan Palmer ’s cousin. When all the salaries are included, the Doyle-Palmer family grosses more than $250,000 a year of taxpayer money. But according to St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency, the lion’s share of this amount falls

under the salaries of the county manager and the clerk of the board, both of whom have earned it, she said. Deborah Palmer earns more than $63,000 annually with a longevity stipend of $1,680 while Dan Palmer draws a salary of about $95,000 as county manager plus another $18,000 for his position as Information Systems director. Morency noted that many county jobs require a civil service exam, and that the test scores can’t be affected by favoritism. “A lot of these jobs have those restrictions, but you can’t say that the person who scored the highest doesn’t deserve the job regardless if their brother or father works for the county or not,” Morency said. Morency called Palmer the most effective and fair County Manager she has seen in her 27 years on the board. But the Palmers aren’t the

only officials with family members employed by county government. Others include Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew’s daughter, Chelsea, who is employed in the County Clerk’s office, Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston’s wife Wendy who works in the Office for the Aging and Sheriff Henry Hommes’s son Scott Hommes who is employed in the county’s Department of Emergency Services. For their part, county officials are quick to note that Essex County is one of the largest employers in the region with 400 employees, and therefore some relatives working under the same roof is inevitable. Brushing off the allegations, Dan Palmer said Jan. 6 that he has been completely up front with the hirings of all of his relatives and has not imposed undue influence over the hiring process.

Jarron and Braden Swan helped serve at the annual senior citizen holiday dinner held at Moriah Central School. Among those attending were their grandmother Claudia Swan and great-grandfather Sam Trapasso.

Kiwanians have been very busy with several service projects to help out the community. From ringing the bell for the Salvation Army's Red Kettle, helping collect food for the local food pantry as part of the High School Key Club’s Stuff a Bus project, hosting the annual Senior Citizen Holiday Party, making a visit to the nursing home along with Santa, and even a visit to Montcalm Manor with ice cream and a present for all the residents — the Ti Kiwanians were there. Pictured are Kiwanians Gram Bailey, Rose Marie Viscardi, Sue Rathbun, Sylvia Boyce, Santa Claus, Club President Joyce Cooper, Rolly Allen, Joyce Barker, Nancy Kelly, Lois Gunning, Bud Bresett and Steve Boyce.

The Ticonderoga Elks Lodge distributed approximately 250 Christmas baskets in their area. The Christmas Charities Committee of Ray Scott, Dean Frasier and Fred Hammann expressed appreciation to the community for its support of the effort. From left are Margie Hurlburt, Linda Osborne, Nancy Horner and Sandra Hurlburt.

14 - TIMES OF TI • CROWN POINT

SATURDAY January 16, 2010

Highway chief proud of frugal ways Ingleston works to save taxpayers By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — In nearly three decades as Crown Point highway superintendent, Eugene “Peanut” Ingleston has seen a lot of changes. One thing, though, remains the same. “The price of everything keeps going up and we have to do more with less,” Ingleston said. “It’s all about trying to save money, living within your means.” That’s something Ingleston, who has been in office 28 years, seems to have mastered. Last summer when the town’s 25-year-old grader died Ingleston started shopping for a replacement. New graders cost $165,000 and more — too much for Crown

Point taxpayers. “I started shopping around and got a good used one for $31,500,” he said. “It took a lot of wheeling and dealing. We don’t buy anything new here.” Ingleston is a long-time, active member of the New York State Highway Superintendents Association. He served as its president in 1996 and has connections throughout the state. “A lot of big towns buy new equipment every 10 years; they have a lot of money,” he explained. “We can get that equipment at a good price, clean it up, fix the problems and it’s practically new.” The Crown Point highway department just bought a “new” tandem truck for $3,000. That truck could have cost $175,000 or more from a dealer. Bethany Kosmider, Crown Point’s new supervisor, appreciates Ingleston’s frugal ways. “I look forward to work-

ing with Peanut to provide the highway department with their needs while maintaining a tight rein on the budget during this difficult economic time,” she said. “Crown Point has some old equipment that looks like new because Peanut is impeccable about the care his equipment receives, which in the end, saves money for the town.” Maintenance is a priority for Ingleston and his crew. Every truck is washed after every use. The department has its own mechanic and all repairs are done in-house. Ingleston is also very conservative with the town garage. He heats the building with used motor oil. When bids for a needed lean-to came in at $150,000 Ingleston, a contactor in his previous life, built it for $7,500. “I don’t like to spend money,” the highway chief said. The Crown Point highway department has a budget of

$670,000 this year, $570,000 of which comes from local taxpayers. That’s a 2.5 percent increase from last year. In the same period the cost of salt has increased from $48 a ton to $72, the cost of plow blades are up 10 percent and the costs for everything from parts, tools, fuel, insurance and labor have jumped. “It’s the same every year,” Ingleston said. The Crown Point highway department is responsible for 56 miles of town roads and 28 miles of county roads. It’s a big job for Ingleston and his crew of five men. “I’ve always found Crown Point roads to be the best,” Kosmider said. “While folks are sleeping, the road crew is plowing and making roads passable in the winter.”

Eugene “Peanut” Ingleston has developed a reputation for finding bargains when the Crown Point highway department needs equipment.

Port Henry

Village election slated By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The very existence of the village of Port Henry will be determined March 16. That’s when village voters will go to the polls to consider dissolution of the village. An eight-member committee that includes representatives from both the village and the town of Moriah has been studying the advantages and disadvantages of the village along with the Rochester-based Center for Governmental Research. The committee includes Port Henry Mayor Ernest Guerin, Trustee James Hughes, Walt Wojewodzic and Joseph Celotti; Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scoz-

Mayor Ernest Guerin zafava, Councilman Richard Carpenter, Charlie Bryant and John Boyea. A series of public information meetings on the issue have been held. Voters will also elect a pair of trustees to the village board March 16. Each is a two-year term. An independent nominat-

ing petition is required and can be obtained by contacting the village clerk. Petitions must be submitted by Feb. 9. For further information contact the village clerk at 546-9933. Absentee ballot applications for the March 16 election are also available at this time and may be obtained in the village office. Absentee ballot applications must be submitted by March 9. To vote in the election a person must be a registered voter and reside in the village of Port Henry.

Aid From page 1 commuters that have been disadvantaged by the closing of the Lake Champlain Bridge.” It’s not as simple as moving the money from one account to another, Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward explained. The money used to operate the ferry was federal assistance and the federal government would have to approve any relief plan for individuals. The federal government is now paying for bridge alternatives, such as the bus service now running from local communities to the Essex ferry. “It’s a very complex situation,” Sayward said. “When we fix one part, we don’t want to hurt another. More and more people are riding the bus, we don’t want to take action that will hurt that effort.” Sayward is concerned the federal government could stop funding the bus service if it uses money to help individual motorists. The bus service doesn’t work for everyone, Sayward acknowledged. People working odd shifts, especially those at Porter Medical Center in Middlebury, aren’t helped by the bus. Sayward would like to see financial relief for a limited

group — those with no alternatives but to drive themselves. “I think we have a much better opportunity of making this work if we target a specific group,” Sayward said. Sayward said she is in daily contact of state Department of Transportation officials who are discussing individual financial relief with the federal government. If the federal money is available for individual assistance, she said, things will happen quickly. “When we get the ‘yes’ word we’re ready to go,” Sayward said. She credited Scozzafava with keeping the needs of commuters in the minds of state and federal officials.

“Tom’s been a champion on this issue,” she said. At the same time Sayward said she and others are working to make certain a new ferry service near the site of the former bridge will be open by Jan. 31. “That’s what we need,” the assemblywoman said. “Getting that ferry in place will solve a lot of problems.” The Lake Champlain Bridge was closed Oct. 16 when an inspection deemed it unsafe. There are plans for a new bridge, but that construction isn’t expected to be complete until summer of 2011. About 4,000 people a day used the old bridge, which was demolished Dec. 21.

SCHROON LAKE • TIMES OF TI - 17

Improved Schroon Ski Hill open for another season SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake Ski Hill has been improved with the help of community volunteers. “When a community comes together good things happen,” said Roger Friedman, town trustee. “Such is definitely true for the Schroon Lake Ski Hill located at the Schroon Lake Municipal Golf Course. The partnership of local government, town personnel and local volunteers has made the ski hill a focal point for local winter activities.” Approximately six years ago the town of Schroon received grant money to install a single handle tow and a warm-up hut. “For the first few years of operation attendance at the Ski Hill was sporadic, but ever since a group of dedicated residents offered to volunteer in order to improve the facility activity at the ski hill has been impressive,” Friedman said. In 2009 the town purchased a surplus generator that powers the lift. The group of volunteers and town personnel helped clear the

Adirondack bucks: Walking themselves to death?

But I paid for our park with my taxes how can you charge a fee to use it?

Currently, the Trail Supporter patch, available with a $5 donation, is one of the only methods for non-anglers, hunters or trappers to contribute to the Conservation Fund. The Habitat Stamp pin is a token of appreciation that is provided to individuals that make a voluntary $5 contribution to DEC to preserve wildlife habitat across NY state.

he concept of charging an entrance toll, a user fee or a parking permit to utilize public lands, such as those encompassed within the 6.5 million acres Adirondack Park is an issue that always stirs people’s emotions. However if the quality of the experience declines due to misuse and abuse of the woods and waters, lack of conservation law enforcement, wilderness protections and other similar matters, we will all pay in the end. On busy summer weekends there may be up to 100 rafts, each holding 8 to 10 people, riding a dam released bubble through the public waters of the Hudson River gorge. At a cost of around $75 to $85 per person, the 17-mile run from Indian Lake to North River provides nearly a dozen whitewater outfitters with a steady, three season income. Incorporated into each outfitter’s rate structure is a town imposed user fee for each paddler in the raft. Annually, these user fees contribute over $75,000 to the town of Indian Lake, a sizable chunk of change for a small town budget. The regularly scheduled water releases from Lake Abanakee have enabled outfitters to reliably offer rafting adventures throughout the summer and into the fall. And while the ride is exciting, it’s a far more family friendly experience than springtime runs when the raging Class V-VI river is filled with snowmelt and chunks of ice. To the paddlers, the user fees go unnoticed. Guests leave happy after a thrilling, 17-mile wilderness adventure, the hotels and bars are full, the restaurants are busy and local taxes are relatively stable. A similar process plays out on the Sacandaga River near Lake Luzerne, where a regularly scheduled dam release provides whitewater enthusiasts with a similar, watery bubble of opportunity all summer long. However, user fees collected for the use of the Sac’s public waters are deposited into the bank account of National Grid, a British consortium that now owns the former Niagara Mohawk Power Company dam. Is it fair to charge paddlers a fee for the use of a public river? Would it be any different than collecting money from hikers utilizing trails in the Forest Preserve or from paddlers utilizing local streams and ponds? The very notion goes against principles of our national culture. It violates our inherent right of a sense of adventure, the freedom to roam at will and the ingrained, pioneer spirit that seems to dwell in the very core of most outdoor travelers. Such is the conundrum currently facing many state and national agencies charged with the responsibility of managing our nation’s wild lands. In future years, the value of our wild lands will surely increase due to both the financial and climate changes that lie ahead. While officials interested in implementing user fees on public park lands may be questioned about the fairness of charging fees for taxpayer-supported operations, collecting a fee for the cost of a so-called "free" service has its advantages. "The issue of the fairness of user fees was answered in the parks and recreation industry 15 years ago," explained Ken Conway, a Park Director in Cameron County, Texas. "Users of parks are willing to pay a reasonable fee for a quality service. The whole recreation industry nationwide has really em-

braced user fees as a way to make sure there's support in the budget from year to year." Camping and RV sites on South Padre Island generated over $1.6 million in revenue for Cameron County, Texas last year. It has been estimated that one out of every five US travelers will choose an outdoor vacation this year. But, it is a fact that over 100 million people live within a day’s drive of the Adirondack Park. Do the math! If just a $10 fee was collected from only the estimated 200,000 visitors that visit the Eastern High Peaks annually, the state could collect an easy $2 million. Think of the income that New York state could generate with the registration of mountain bikes, as it is done in popular destinations such as Moab and Red Rock. Or even canoes. Of course, for anyone purchasing a hunting, trapping or fishing license, such registrations would be included. Registrations could be purchased through a special unit of the motor vehicles office. Purchases could be accomplished instantly via the current DECALS computer licensing system. User fees are currently being collected for the use of state parklands in nearly a dozen states including California, Texas, Wisconsin, Colorado, Oregon, Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and New Hampshire. Could New York be next? Many people don’t realize it, but New York is already there! For several years, New York State has collected user fees, through the Department of Motor Vehicles. ATV and snowmobile registrations include fees dedicated to the development of off-road trails. Sadly, the money has been paid, but development of the trails is still lagging. If user fees were to be collected from all user groups, including hikers, bikers, paddlers. climbers and skiers, the proceeds would have return to the trails and bridges, put in sites and accessible waters. In 2006, the DEC instituted a voluntary user fee for hikers with its Trail Supporter patch. All monies raised from sales of the $5 patch are dedicated to the Conservation Fund's Outdoor Recreation, Trail Maintenance, and Development Account to help maintain and enhance non-motorized trails throughout New York State. The first year of the program, the DEC sold 482 items with $2,320 revenue. In 2009, only 131 of the voluntary Trail Supporter Patches sold for a total of $655. Trails Supporter Patches are available for purchase for a $5 donation at all outlets where sporting licenses are sold and they are also sold and on DEC's website. In a comparable effort focused on hunters and anglers, DEC sales of a $5 habitat stamp, dedicated to the protection and enhancement of fish and wildlife habitat, garnished over $4,000 through voluntary contributions. A lapel pin comes with the donation. I usually purchase both items, along with my annual Sportsman’s license. At a cost of nearly $90, the annual license is a bargain. It lets me take home a fair quantity of locally raised, free range, all organic, fish, game, fowl and other all natural collectibles such as fresh berries, wild mushrooms and an assortment of other woodland table fare. Programs such as the Trail Supporter Pass and Habitat Stamp allow users to exhibit their contribution. The development of similar patches for paddlers, rock climbers, backcountry skiers and snowshoers would allow other user groups could provide the opportunity for everyone to contribute and be represented. Such an effort would also go a long way toward reducing the alienation and fragmentation of various user groups. I have found that most sportsmen and women, are also avid hikers and paddlers, skiers and snowshoers. In actuality, it appears that members of the various user groups often have more commonalities than they have differences. We all share a common bond in our desire to enjoy our respective activities, even if some of the pursuits are limited by the season. The annual invasion of the ‘leaf peepers’ is one example of a user group traveling the woodlands of the Adirondacks seeking something other than fish or game for their efforts. Birders, who venture north to view the massive flights of snow geese along Lake Champlain are yet another growing user group. There are many more. Next week, I will investigate various concepts of implementing user fees. Reader comments and suggestions are most welcome. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

o dominant bucks “rut themselves to death” in their quest to locate and breed does during the mating season here in the Adirondacks? I discussed that question the other day with Jim Westover of Westport, himself a longtime avid hunter. Jim said he recently saw a show on one of the outdoor channels that focused on our deer herd in the Adirondacks. The premise of the show was that our bucks rarely live past age 4 or 5 and a half or reach their true potential because they are forced to wander great distances to find does to breed — at times traveling upward of 15 miles a day. “They basically said our bucks walk themselves to death because we don’t have the number of deer per square mile that there are in other parts of the country,” Jim said. “They said it takes something like nine deer per square mile to keep a buck from roaming.” The video, he said, showed large dominant bucks heading into the winter months completely emaciated from the rut, only to succumb to the elements or predators because they lacked the fat reserves needed to make it through the winter. I asked Ed Reed, senior wildlife biologist with the DEC in Raybrook, his take on the findings of the show. He said while some of the claims sound plausible, other data may have been sensationalized. “For instance, how did they determine that a buck needs nine does per square mile to be ‘content,’” Reed asked. “Some recent research shows that bucks actually breed with only three to five does each year, and that younger bucks do a significant amount of breeding.” Reed said a 5-and-a-half-year-old buck is considered old anywhere in the northern U.S. and said the Adirondacks may have an even higher percentage of older deer than other areas because they have so many areas to escape hunters. “We check very few old bucks at meat lockers each year, but do check some older than 5 and a half every year. I checked a 10-and-a-half-year-old buck a few years ago that had a decent 10-point rack but looked to be in pretty poor body condition,” he said. Nevertheless, Reed said some of the assertions made during the show sound plausible. For example, it is well documented that bucks lose body condition during the rut — at times losing 20 percent of their body weight — and must rebuild fat reserves following the rut to increase their chance of survival. An early onset of severe winter weather can make putting those reserves on even more difficult, he noted. But, Reed said the harsh weather and poor nutrition here plays as big a part in bucks, and does for that matter, dying at a young age as the rut. And, Reed said, DEC staff rarely find a dead buck in the deer yards during their annual spring dead deer surveys. “Our whitetails have been dealing with the rigors of breeding and harsh winters for many thousands of years, so I think they have evolved a solid strategy for survival,” he said. “Evolution favors the strategy that leads to the perpetuation of the species, not necessarily the longevity of individuals.”

The wonders of Vitamin C Do you really know the benefits of vitamin C? Vitamin C plays an important role in good health: * It helps to form the connective tissue that holds the many parts of your body together. * It keeps capillaries healthy so you don’t bruise easily. * It helps gums stay healthy so they don’t bleed. * It aids in the absorption of iron. Vitamin C is found in most fruits and vegetables, with citrus fruits, including oranges, grapefruits and their juices having the highest content. Don’t just reach for the vitamin C when you feel a cold coming on, make it a part of your daily healthful eating plan. (Taken from Mature Living)

William Beach Lambert Feb. 3, 1911-Jan. 4, 2010 TICONDEROGA — William Beach Lambert, 98, of Silver Bay, passed away on Monday, Jan. 4, 2010 at Heritage Commons Residential Healthcare of Ticonderoga. Beach was born in Ticonderoga on Feb. 3, 1911, the son of the late John H. and Alice (Beach) Lambert. His grandfather, John Lambert, was co-founder of Ticonderoga Pulp and Paper Company. Beach was a graduate of Ticonderoga High School, where he excelled in football. He then attended the University of Michigan, but his time was cut short by the Great Depression. Upon his return to Lake George, he and his brother, John, formed an ice cutting company which provided ice to the large hotels on the lake. These were the days before refrigeration and ice was stored in ice houses for summer use. They earned the reputation of the best ice cutting team in the area. Later, Beach worked as a machinist at General Electric in Schenectady. In 1945, he built Watch Island Cabins which he ran during the summer months, along with a gas station and he worked the winter months at International Paper Company in Ticonderoga. At International Paper, he was a supervisor for A.B. Dick Company, then later a foreman in the finishing and warehouse section. He also was a Hague assessor, member of the Hague school board and worked for the town, plowing the roads. He was the creator of the Bloomer Valley Hunting Club in Sabbath Day Point. After his retirement, he stayed active. He enjoyed walking with his dog, Tippi, up Uncas Mountain. He also cut lumber and hunted. At the age of 80, he built a gazebo on the top of Uncas Mountain, which still remains for others to enjoy the picturesque view of Lake George. After an active day’s work he would sit on the front porch, looking at the lake, enjoying what he called a “sundowner.” Many times Frank Carney and Jim Braisted would join him, where they would exchange interesting stories. One of his famous quotes was, “I never felt old until I reached 80.” Beach will be greatly missed for his strength, wisdom and guidance. He was pre-deceased by his wife, Florence (Frazier) Lambert; and by one daughter, Josephine L. Braisted; one sister, Elizabeth Lambert; and one brother, John H. Lambert. Survivors include two daughters, Jacqueline L. Fort (Robert J. Chamberlain) of Silver Bay and Jill L. Stull of Hague. He is also survived by 10 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Relatives and friends were invited to attend a memorial service on Thursday, Jan. 7, at 7:30 p.m. at the Wilcox & Regan Funeral Home, 11 Algonkin St., Ticonderoga. Calling hours took place on Thursday at the funeral home, from 5 - 7:30 p.m., prior to the memorial service.
