A CHILI EXTRAVAGANZA
Irishman of the year to be named
This Week ELIZABETHTOWN TICONDEROGA
Knights plan two celebrations
Community to celebrate 250th anniversary.
By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Those who are Irish, and those who wish they were, will have two opportunities to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year. The Ticonderoga Knights of Columbus will host its annual Irishman of the Year celebration Saturday, March 10. Council 333 will honor a local resident at the K of C hall on Montcalm Street. The Irishman of the Year is selected by a Knights of Columbus committee. A corned beef dinner will be served at 5 p.m. and the Irishman of the Year, a closely-guarded secret, will be honored — or roasted — at 7 p.m. Tickets, priced at $10, will be available at the door. The event is open to the public. Dick Liddell was the 2011 Irishman of the Year. “It seems to get more and more difficult to keep it a secret,� Knight Ralph Corbo said of the Irishman of the Year award. “Everyone wants to know who it will

That site, though, can only be updated by the company at expense to the town. “We’re changing our website to allow us to make updates from the town hall,� Harrington said. “We

Fort Ti to host Battle on Snowshoes March 10 TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga will host a recreation of the Battle on Snowshoes Saturday, March 10, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. People will be able to visit the French Garrison in the middle of winter inside Fort Ticonderoga and tour through opposing pickets of British rangers and French soldiers, both well trained and adapted to frontier, winter warfare. At 1 pm visitors can experience the hectic tree to tree fighting in a recreated battle. “The Battle on Snowshoes event recreates the savage fight between Robert Roger ’s rangers and a mixed French force of regular soldiers, militia and allied native warriors on March 13, 1758,” said Stuart Lilie, director of interpretation at Fort Ticonderoga. “This event is designed to be a rich experience for both participants and visitors alike.” Re-enactors portraying French soldiers and native allies will live inside the period furnished barracks rooms of Fort Ticonderoga. They will recreate the winter garrison for Fort Carillon, as it was known until 1759. Just as in the March of 1758 these re-enactors will sortie out from the fort to meet and overwhelm Rogers’ men. Major Robert Rogers’ force of both volunteers from the 27th foot and his own rangers headed out on an extended scout from Fort Edward along Lake George, following an attack on a similar patrol from Captain Israel Putnam’s Connecticut rangers. Hiking on snowshoes due to the three feet of snow, the tracks of Rogers’ force were spotted on its march up the west side of Lake George. Near the north end of Lake George, Major Rogers, advanced scouts spotted their French counterparts. Rogers and his Rangers took up positions in a ravine, setting his force in ambuscade to await whatever French patrol would come to meet him. The French patrol that met Rogers’ men proved far larger than he imagined, and in the Battle on Snowshoes, the rangers’ ambush was itself surrounded and overwhelmed. In deep woods on deep snow, the rangers were forced to retreat with heavy casualties as the French regulars, malice, and natives pressed home their attack. Despite brave stands along the way, this retreat quickly became chaotic as rangers, Roger ’s included, ran for their lives from superior numbers
Fort Ticonderoga will host a recreation of the Battle on Snowshoes Saturday, March 10, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. of French. “Watch as the rangers make a brave stand against superior odds, only to retreat through the deep woods,” said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga executive director. Event tickets are $10. Free admission is offered to the Friends of Fort Ticonderoga and residents of Ticonderoga. For more information call 585-2821 or visit www.fortticonderoga.org. “Visitors will be invited to tour Fort Ticonderoga as it appeared in the winter of 1758, and meet the French and Indians who overwhelmed Roger ’s experienced woodsmen,” Hill said. “See how natives and French soldiers alike survived the deep winter at this remote military post. More adventurous visitors can take a hike led by a historic interpreter through the uneasy quiet of opposed pickets of sol-

Alumni scholarship holds first bowling tournament Strikes for Students Bowling tournament planned for March 10 By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Alumni Association will hold a Strikes for Students Bowling Tournament March 10 - 11 at the Adirondack Lanes. “It’s going to be a fun time for old friends and new acquaintance to get together to raise money for our scholarship,” said Joyce Cooper, president of the Alumni Scholarship Organization. Fifty percent of the proceeds will go into the scholarship fund and 50 percent of the funds will go to pay for prizes
and the use of the lanes. The tournament will be held in two segments and will begin at noon and 3 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. There will be 2 divisions, one for bowlers with established handicaps and one for everyone else. “Everyone is invited to come, it isn’t just an event for Ticonderoga alumni,” Cooper said. “It’s for anyone who wants to come out play to help raise money for the scholarship.” The cost to participate will be $16 for adults and $12 for kids, the fee includes three games and shoe rental. There will be cash prizes awarded to adults and children will be awarded gift cards from local retailers. During the event there will be other activities and drawings for participants to enjoy such as a 50/50 raffle, a strike pool competition, and a give-away for a new bowling ball
donated by Adirondack Lanes. The alumni scholarship fund began providing scholarships for Ticonderoga students in 2006. It has provided 190 students with $76,000 in scholarships, giving out about $15,000 in scholarships a year. Cooper said the organization hopes to raise $15,000 this year with various events to provide scholarships to the Ticonderoga High School class of 2012. “We have a lot more planned for this year such as our golf tournament in the summer,” Cooper said. “This is only our first year with bowling, and we hope to do this again every year.” Team sign-ups for the tournament are available in advance or at the door. For more information about purchasing a ticket, the event or to make a contribution the scholarship fund contact Cooper at 585-2640.
Man threatens Times of Ti employee with a hunting knife PoliceReport Man claimed there was a ‘disaster heading for Ti’ By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A man walked into the Times of Ti office on Montcalm Street Tuesday afternoon and pulled a knife on the office manager. According to Ticonderoga police, the man, Mark Nadeau, walked into the office at 102 Montcalm St. shortly after noon and allegedly threatened the office manager, Susan Zacharenko, with a hunting knife that had a 12-inch blade. Zacharenko said Nadeau walked into the office and asked if everyone was at lunch. “I tried to make it seem like there were a lot of people in the office,” Zacharenko said. She said something “seemed off” about Nadeau by the way he looked around the office. Nadeau sat down across from Zacharenko’s desk and started describing to her that “there is going to be a disaster in Ticonderoga.” “He kept telling me there is going to be a disaster in the town of Ti and that no one was listening to him,” Zacharenko said. “He kept changing his story and you could just see in
his eyes there was something not right.” After Zacharenko tried to persuade Nadeau to leave and gather his information from home to deliver to a reporter, Nadeau turned and pulled the hunting knife from behind his back, Zacharenko said. “He was showing me the knife and he told me ‘I carry this knife with me all the time,’” Zacharenko said. After Zacharenko was finally able to persuade Nadeau to leave, Nadeau walked out onto Montcalm Street still holding the knife. Zacharenko quickly locked the door and called the police. Police arrested Nadeau for menacing second degree, a class A misdemeanor. He was arraigned in front of the Crown Point judge and remanded to the Essex County Jail for lack of $5,000 bail or $10,000 bond. According to Ticonderoga Investigator Dan LaFrance, it is unclear if Nadeau was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The incident was a startling one for Zacharenko who said she didn’t want to return to work the next day. “Every time someone walks through the door I shake a little,” she said. “I didn’t even want to come to work today.” But Zacharenko said she decided to face her fear instead of sitting home. “I came in today because I’m facing my enemy because my dad told me ‘You have to face what you’re afraid of not sit home,’” Zacharenko said. LaFrance said incidents like this don’t happen often in Ticonderoga and the incident is still under investigation.
Ti teen arrested A Ticonderoga teenager was arrested for the alleged burglary of a residence Feb. 25. At about 10 a.m., the Ticonderoga Police Department was called to 16 George St. for a report of a burglary of a home. During the course of their investigation, officers discovered footprints in the snow leading to a nearby house where police interviewed and later arrested a 14-year-old. The teen was charged with second-degree burglary, a felony, and petit larceny, a misdemeanor. A small amount of cash was recovered from the juvenile, which police believe was taken from the George Street location. He was issued a family court appearance ticket and the matter was referred to the Essex County Family Court.
Schroon Lake crash A Schroon Lake woman was injured in one-car accident Feb. 23. Jill R. Allen, 37, was driving east on Route 74 in a 2004 Ford Taurus at 3:37 a.m. when she lost control of her vehicle due to the icy roadway, exited the south shoulder and overturned onto the driver side, state police reported. Police did not have information on Allen’s injury.

HAGUE — The man who resurrected the luxurious Hacker Craft antique boat business has died. William Morgan, 84, died Feb. 21 at Glens Falls Hospital. It was Morgan who purchased the Hacker company and brought it to Hague. The Hacker Boat Co. was formed by John Hacker in the early 20th century in Detroit, and boomed with success up through the Roaring ’20s, expanding to Mount Clemens, Mich., and even selling a 40-foot runabout to the King of Siam in 1930. The Great Depression crippled the business, though. A Hacker business partner later took over the company, changing its name to the Albany Boat Co., but the firm continued to struggle as cheaper boats became popular with the general public. Morgan, who lived in the Bolton area, operated Morgan Marine, located on Silver Bay on Lake George. He bought Hacker in 1959. Hacker now has sales offices in Hague and a production plant in Ticonderoga. Hacker boats cost $200,000 to $400,000 today. The company built 16 in 2011. “We at the Hacker Boat Company and Erin Investments would not have the honor today of building Hacker-Craft boats had years ago Bill not taken the risk of buying and resurrecting a defunct trademark,” Hacker Boat Co. President and CEO George Babcock said in a statement.

Ticonderoga alumni tourney slated ‘Best Fourth in the North’ benefit March 31 By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga High School basketball stars of yesteryear will return to the court in an attempt to recapture past glory — and help the community’s annual July 4th celebration. The annual Ticonderoga Alumni Basketball Tournament will be played Saturday, March 31, at Ti High. It will again benefit the Ticonderoga “Best Fourth in the North” celebration. “For over a decade the basketball alumni have gathered at the Ticonderoga High School to help support the ‘Best Fourth in the North’,” said Bob Dedrick, tournament organizer and a former Ti High coach. “This year is no exception.
“Alumni who have graduated in the 1980s to the most recent grads all converge at the gym to renew friendships, relive memories, get a chance to pit their skills against other graduates and help raise funds for the Fourth of July celebration,” he said. This year ’s event will begin at noon. All players are asked to arrive at 11 a.m. The day will feature four games with the last game for the championship. Teams are determined by the year of graduation. “This allows graduates to compete with players who were on the roster while in high school,” Dedrick said. “Each game is closely contested, where youth usually competes against experience.” A three point contest elimination round will start at 11:45 a.m. with the finals held prior to the championship game. “This event continues to be a fundraiser for the Fourth of July,” Dedrick said. “As in the past an admission fee will be collected and it is the hope that the community will help support the Fourth of July and also salute the former players and referees who so generously devote their time.” The Fourth of July committee will also be selling refreshments during the event.

School budgets: Now is the time to let your voice be heard
T
he ever-present national debt has become a running joke for some, and troubles with state budgets in California and New York are leading to leaner governments. Those same troubles are trickling down to our local governments, and the recent news that Beekmantown Central School has to close a $3.2 million budget gap show just how much government can mean to the people. It’s long been taken for granted that kids can try out for their school athletic teams for a chance to wear the jerseys in a contest of speed and strength. The head cheerleader and starting quarterback being crowned king and queen at the prom is part of the American cultural fabric, even if it doesn’t happen all that often. The wrestler who sits in your homeroom and took the state title isn’t just making his parents proud; he’s giving the whole school a reason to cheer. And on the way, those student-athletes are learning valuable lessons about teamwork, consistent effort and time management. It’s not just competition. It’s another branch of education. The same can be said of music and art, public school programs that have faced cuts and left schools a poorer educational experience. The trend to teach to tests and not to a young mind’s abilities is easy to criticize. Students aren’t clones with digitized minds that all process data in the same way. They’re individuals, with unique interests and their own way of learning. They deserve opportunities to grow in their own way. An education where a student’s given some ways to build their own strengths and gain new talents on the way makes for stronger individuals and a stronger society. It takes all kinds to keep a dynamic and complex civilization running. It’s a hard sell, though. As governments from top to bottom are experiencing tighter budgets, citizens are trying to make their dollars stretch, too. School tax-
es are a big part of the tax bill. Schools are important for our future society, and good schools can make a home more valuable. But what does that do for a struggling family’s budget this month? More than 40 positions were proposed for elimination in the superintendent’s budget plan. With fewer employees in the schools, the issue of teaching to a student’s strength becomes even less possible. Class sizes will continue to grow, and extracurricular program offerings will continue to shrink. For these options to at least stabilize, creative — not drastic — measures need to be taken. A school district’s administration is expensive. What if in the same way that cash-conscious townships share services, like plowing, schools started sharing services? Shared, centralized administration offices; shared kitchens that deliver hot food from centralized facilities; shared record-keeping; shared typists — maybe even shared superintendents. If the music program is slashed, it’s never going to rebound. That’s just the new budget. If interscholastic athletics are shut down, they’ll never start back up. That will simply be the new budget. Even if those critical decisions are put off this year, they’ll need to be decided soon. And the same thing will start coming up in more and more local governments. Villages in the region are weighing dissolution right now. Once something’s lost, it’s not likely to come back. What’s worth keeping? Now is when those decisions matter most. Get your voice heard in local government.

Letters to the Editor
A nation on the dole WinterFest a success Hague Winter Weekend a success To the Times of Ti:
To the Times of Ti:
Let me make this perfectly clear to all readers, especially to Mr. Guido. I don’t like President Obama. He’s a man of so much tension, too many sins to mention (sorry, I stole that from Billy Joel). Now that we have that established let’s move on to my main reason for writing. This nation is knee-deep in a handout mentality. What’s happened to our self-sufficiency? What’s happened to our self-motivation? With 50 percent of the American people on the dole in one form or another it appears obvious everyone is looking for “Free“, everyone is looking for “Gimmee.“ Well, “Free” and “Gimmee” are taking their last breaths. Their tombstones are being carved out as we speak. How did Americans persevere in the 1700s and 1800s? It was through true grit, plain and simple. Yes, the world has increased in population and has changed dramatically via technology, but people should have some degree of self-determination. Don’t be beggars all your life! To be honest, this did not start with our current president. It’s been cultivated for nearly 75 to 80 years, but this president is only intensifying the situation. The biggest problem I have with him is that we cannot sustain the astronomical and suicidal spending levels. You are fooling yourself if you think we can’t wind up like Greece. Indeed, these are perilous times because of our own handiwork. John P. Sharkey Ticonderoga
Auxiliary thankful To the Times of Ti: The North Hudson Volunteer Women’s Auxiliary would like to say “Thank you” to everyone who helped make our annual memory tree another success. We are grateful to our friends and neighbors who continue to support us. Contributions received from the memory tree and other fundraising events help us to give a scholarship stipend to each North Hudson graduating high school senior as an acknowledgement of their accomplishment. Speaking of future events, mark May 5 on your calendar. That is the day scheduled for the fifth annual Classic Car Cruise-In and Dragway Reunion sponsored by the auxiliary. There will be classic cars and cars that ran on the North Hudson Dragway on display. Food and beverages will be served. Plan to come for another fun day. Watch for future announcements.
Despite a distinct lack of cooperation from Mother Nature, the third annual WinterFest was held on Saturday, Feb. 11. Many thanks to all of the volunteers and the WinterFest participants who braved 16 degree temperatures and a chilly north wind. Everyone who attended was most appreciative that the Elks very generously made their hall open so that folks could get inside to warm up and have some refreshments. The day began with a one-mile fun run sponsored by the Lachute Road Runners. There were 20 hearty participants and Joel Cook was the first to cross the finish line. The complete results were as follows: Joel Cook 8:12, Tim Malaney 8:18, Fred Herbst 8:18, Terrence Benedict 8:29, Tom Pike 8:39, Jarod Pike 8:41, Patrick Kiernan 9:37, Monty Benedict 9:37, Martha Strum 9:40, Carl Rice 9:46, Yarr Tyler 12:08, Pullen Tyler 12:09, Zyleen Tyler 12:30, Kirstin Strum 12:30, Cheyane Rice 12:47, Jack Perkins 15:42, Hayden Stacey 15:44, Kaylene Rice 19:50, Ali Numan 19:50. The day continued with ice skating and broomball at the ice rink and hay wagon rides which were organized by the Ticonderoga Youth Commission and provided by Joe and Lynn Sawyer. The 40 plus degree temperatures during the week leading up to WinterFest made re-freezing the ice at the rink a real challenge. Thanks to the heroic efforts of Charlie Bolstridge, we did have a portion of the ice rink that was available for skating and broomball. Because of the generosity of the many supporters of this year ’s event, we were also able to have a free raffle for the prizes which they donated. The lucky winners were as follows: Jackie Witherbee - $100 Gift Card from Tractor Supply; PJ Bolstridge – Best Western Plus Getaway Weekend; Yarr Tyler - $25 Gift Card from Wal Mart; Matt Montbriand - $100 Gift Card from Tractor Supply; Jerry Cooper – girl’s bicycle from Police Benevolent Association; Maura Jebb – Wagon Wheel Gift Card & Gift Bottle; Charlie Bolstridge - $100 Gift Card from Tractor Supply; Ann Morrette - boy’s bicycle from Police Benevolent Association; Dave Iuliano – a Kindle from the Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union; Hanna Porter – Girl’s bicycle from Police Benevolent Association; and Ollie Porter – Tee Ball bats & balls from Police Benevolent Assoc. The Ticonderoga Teachers Association and Country Florist also provided generous support for this year ’s WinterFest. The sponsors for the 2012 Winter Fest were the Town of Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership, Ticonderoga Central Schools, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, Ticonderoga Elks, Ticonderoga Kiwanis, Ticonderoga Youth Commission and North Country Community College. Even though the list of activities for this year ’s event had to be scaled back as a result of the lack of snow, WinterFest was still a success in that we were able to collect over 50 pounds of non-perishable foods and almost $50 in cash for the Ticonderoga Food Pantry. Many, many thanks to everyone who contributed to this very worthy cause!

To the Times of Ti: Hague Winter Weekend was held Feb. 17-19. Starting off the weekend was the Snow Queen Pageant, which was held at the Hague Community Center. Bobbie Jean Fish, Katy Wells and Joanne Trudeau worked with seven young ladies for many weeks to provide a very entertaining evening. Crowned this year ’s Snow Queen is Delaney Reeves. Kaylee Coon is Snow Princess and Caitlin Myers is Dutchess. Participant awards were given to Kasey Fish, Fallon Kennedy, Madison Fish and Keila Jordan. . The weekend continued with the Hague Volunteer Fire Department’s breakfast on Saturday morning which had a great turnout. On Saturday afternoon a reception was held at the Hague Community Center to honor Dan Belden, longtime town supervisor who left office after many years of service. Saturday night featured the Beste Scholarship Dinner. On Sunday the Polar Bear Plunge was held at The Trout House Village Resort . The event is sponsored by the Hague Chamber of Commerce and raises money for WOKO’s Big Change Round-up. This year 115 brave people took the plunge into Lake George and raised over $4100 Martha Crammond raised the most donations with $600. Mickey Fitzgerald was second with $470 and Kat Dickhoff raised $250 for third. As a group, the wrestlers from P.A.C. wrestling collected $800 in donations. WOKO’s Steve Pelkey and the Vermont Children’s Hospitals head pediatrician Dr. Lewis First were on hand to Emcee the event. WOKO sponsors the Big Change Round-up to benefit the Vermont Children’s Hospital. After the plunge it was off to the Hague Volunteer Fire Department for the Chili Bake-off and to dance to Calamity Rock. Twelve different chilis were entered in the contest. First place went to Caryl May of the EMA. Second place was a tie between Tom Denno and Sandy Rympkema. Third place went to Brenda Rider. Thanks to all who entered. All the chilis were great. Even though Mother Nature did not cooperate with ice for the lake and snow for the cross-country skiing and snowmobiling it was truly a great weekend. Tom Haskell Hague

Schroon Lake School Board considers layoffs District must make staff and program reductions due to budget deficit
By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake School Board, facing a $600,000 budget deficit, will be sending out dismissal notices to all faculty members on March 1, and is seeking community input to assist them as they consider possible program cuts. All faculty members will receive a layoff notice by March 1, and over the coming weeks school Superintendent Bonnie Finnerty will meet with each faculty member individually. Finnerty said that because the board is not ready to officially layoff any one employee, the district will be alerting all faculty members of a possible layoff by the district’s March 1 layoff deadline. With a budget deficit of $600,000, School Board president John Armstrong said staff reductions are only one of the reductions the district must consider to stay under the state imposed 2 percent tax cap. “I think we’re all aware that more than likely there’s no way to make up a $600,000 deficit without making changes to staffing components,” Armstrong said.
Finnerty said seniority will not be the decisive factor in the decision process. “We will be looking at a number of factors through this process,” Finnerty said. “This is the hardest part, we have a very small community here and any position is very personal.” At a school board meeting on Feb. 27, Finnerty and board members discussed several options the district could make to operate with a budget under the two percent tax cap. “There may be some other very creative ways the board or the public, or teachers associations and sports staff may consider to think of as we go through these large numbers,” Finnerty said. Finnerty explained to board members and the community what could be saved by cutting unmandated items from the budget. Programs such as the kindergarten and pre-kindergarten grade levels are not required by New York State. By cutting the programs, including one full-time kindergarten staff position and a half-time pre-kindergarten support staff member would save the district $150,000. Cutting library staff hours from 40 hours a week to eight hours, with a library staff member working two class periods a day, would save the district $49,700. If all sports programs were cut, it would save the district $55,329. Music programs are not required for all grade levels in New York State, with the exception of grade 7 and 8. If the
district were to cut all other music programs, including chorus and band it would add up to a district savings of $175,242. If the district were to cut the music program, sports program, kindergarten and pre-kindergarten program, library staff hours, two late bus runs, art and technology, Finnerty said the savings would only add up to a $516,000 savings. “As difficult as it may be with the reductions we need to make, we must try to do this in a way to impact the least amount of students in some shape or form,” Finnerty said. “We’re not saying we’re going to cut every program we are pointing out they are unmandated.” The board also examined cutting school by an hour each day to save on heating, facility and mileage costs to bring students to school. A suggested alternative to that could be students staying in school longer four days a week instead of five. Finnerty said as the board considers making cuts to any program it is important to not get emotionally attached to a certain issue but remain objective to the whole picture of the curriculum. The board will be holding a budget meeting March 8 at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium. Armstrong said the board will be holding budget meetings almost every two weeks to give the community an opportunity to participate in the discussions.
Hoffman Notch Wilderness plan presented to APA NCNST is a proposed 4,600 mile non-motorized trail system from Lake Sakakawea, N.D., to Lake Champlain. One of eight federally designated National Scenic Trails, the Adirondack portion of the NCNST will stretch 140 miles and connect with a number of Adirondack communities. More information on the Adirondack portion of the NCNST can be found at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/39658.html. Additional management actions proposed by DEC in the UMP include: — designating the path south of Big Pond as a DEC trail that connects to the Big Pond Trail, creating a hiking and cross country skiing loop trail system between Hoffman Road and Loch Muller Road; — constructing foot bridges over Hoffman Notch Brook near north end of Hoffman Notch Trail and over East Branch on the Big Pond Trail; — re-routing a quarter mile portion of Hoffman Notch Trail north of Big Marsh to west side of Hoffman Notch Brook; — constructing an approximately 4-mile section of trail on eastern portion of unit connecting Hoffman Road with Route 9 which may also serve as part of the NCNST; — constructing an improved parking area along the Blue Ridge Road to serve as the northern trailhead for the Hoffman Notch Trail; — constructing an improved parking area with signs and trail register along west side of Route 9; — designating two primitive tent sites on Big Pond and one primitive tent site on North Pond; and — improving the accessibility of trails to Bailey Pond and a portion of the Big Pond trail. Unit Management Plans are required by the Adirondack
Park State Land Master Plan for each unit of state land in the Adirondack Park. The plans integrate the goals and objectives of the State Land Master Plan, related legislation, and resource and visitor use information into a single document. The plan is available for viewing or downloading from the Adirondack Park Agency website at: www.apa.ny.gov/State_Land/index.html. Written comments can be sent to Jim Connolly, Deputy Director of Planning, NYS Adirondack Park Agency, P.O. Box 99 Ray Brook 12977.

SCHROON — The proposed final draft of the Hoffman Notch Wilderness Unit Management Plan has been released by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Adirondack Park Agency. DEC staff presented the plan to the APA board Feb. 16 to consider the UMP’s compliance with the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan. A determination of compliance will be made by the APA at its monthly meeting in March. APA will accept public comments until noon Wednesday, March 7. The final step in the process is approval of the plan by DEC. The Hoffman Notch Wilderness consists of 38,500 acres of forest preserve lands in the towns of North Hudson, Minerva and Schroon. The area is generally bounded on the north by the Boreas Road, on the east by the Adirondack Northway, on the south by Hoffman Road, and on the west by the boundary of Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest. The Hoffman Notch Wilderness offers many recreational opportunities, including hiking, cross country skiing, camping, canoeing, hunting, trapping and fishing. With more than 18 miles of marked trails available, the public can reach a variety of natural attractions such as Hoffman Notch and Mt. Severance, as well as popular fishing locations at Bailey Pond or Big Pond. Other water bodies providing additional recreational uses include Big Marsh, North Pond, Sand Pond and Marion Pond. The unit management plan proposes to develop an approximately 12.5-mile segment of the North Country National Scenic Trail, including 6.6 miles of newly-constructed trail, through the southern portion of the Hoffman Notch Wilderness. The plan also proposes to construct a lean-to near Platt Brook and a primitive campsite on Bailey Pond.

Moriah town board comes ‘home’ to new facility By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — After nearly two decades on the road, Moriah’s town board meetings have returned home. The meetings are now held the second Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. at the newly-expanded and renovated court building, adjacent to the town hall at Park Place in Port Henry. “We haven’t held regular board meetings on town property in a long time,” Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “It’s nice to be back.” The move to the court necessitated a change in the meeting day. Moriah’s town board had met the second Tuesday
Moriah to host energy meetings Scheduled for March 5
76307
PORT HENRY — The Town of Moriah will sponsor a pair of energy information meetings on Monday, March 5. The meetings will provide information about free and low-cost energy services to local residents. The sessions will be at the Moriah Senior Center (Port Henry Train Station), 14 Park Place, Port Henry, at 12:30 p.m. and at the Moriah Court House, 42 Park Place, Port Henry, at 6 p.m. Speakers from New York’s EmPower and Green Jobs Green New York Programs will be on hand to share the latest information about free and low-cost energy services available to residences at all income levels. Both programs feature an application process. Volunteers will be on hand for those who want to apply. Households that qualified for HEAP should bring a copy of their most recent HEAP approval letter. Households with incomes above HEAP guidelines should bring a 12-month summary of the electric and heating usage for the building. Moriah is working with the Minerva-based Community Power Network of New York State to bring this program to community residents. For more information contact CPN’s Jennifer Monroe at 251-2525 or jlmonroe@capital.net.

of each month for decades, but the switch was made to the second Thursday to accommodate the court schedule. “Historically town board meetings were always on Tuesdays, but this actually has some advantages,” Scozzafava said. Meeting the second Thursday of each month gives town officials an extra two days to prepare the agenda and bill payments. Agendas are now required by the state to be posted prior to meetings. “I think the move and meeting date are working out,” Scozzafava said. “I haven’t heard any concerns from the public.” With Scozzafava and Moriah trustees placing an emphasis on open government and public participation, attendance at town board meetings in the late 1980s and 1990s grew to the point meetings could no longer be held in the supervisor ’s chambers. To accommodate crowds at town board meetings, the conclaves were moved to larger buildings in the community. During the past 20 years the meetings have been held at the Moriah Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Mineville, the Moriah fire house, the former Republic Steel building in Mineville, the Iron Center museum in Port Henry and, most recently, the Knights of Columbus in Port Henry. “We’re very appreciative to all the community organizations throughout the years,” Scozzafava said. “They’ve been very helpful.” It’s been three years in the making, but the town of Moriah has a renovated, expanded court thanks to a group of students. Champlain Valley Tech students constructed an 864square-foot addition on the Moriah court, helping the town
meet a state mandate and giving the community an updated structure. New York State had mandated court expansion in Moriah since 2008. Steven Gold of the New York State Office of Court Administration told the Moriah town board in June 2008 its 12x14-foot room that served as Moriah town court was inadequate and needed to be addressed. The town had plans to erect its own modular building to house its court and police department adjacent to the town hall at Park Place in Port Henry. That project was shelved when the cost soared. Originally expected to cost about $170,000, estimates for a new court building reached as high as $500,000 because of state regulations and mandates. Town trustees then considered several short-term solutions to the court situation, before deciding to ask CV Tech to construct an addition. Scozzafava said the court project, with the help of students, cost the town about $50,000. The project was financed by a grant from the state Office of Court Administration. This is not the first time CV Tech students have gained experience while helping Moriah residents. They built an entire home as part of a Fri., Mar. 2 - Thurs. Mar. 8, 2012 low-income housing project two years ago.

Fishermen rescued from Lake Champlain Melting ice trapped anglers CROWN POINT — A group of ice fishermen had to be rescued after being trapped on Lake Champlain Feb. 23. Eight stranded anglers were helped to
safety after they were trapped by melting ice in Crown Point. At about 4 p.m., the Essex County 911 Center received a call that the fishermen were stranded on a section of ice surrounded by water. The eight, who were not identified but were Crown Point residents, had been
fishing all day during moderate temperatures that turned their piece of ice into a drifting ice floe. Crown Point firefighters and the Port Henry Fire Department Surface Ice Rescue Team were called to the site. Ladders and inflatable gear were used to bridge the open
Chamber to mark anniversary March 5 in Crown Point CROWN POINT — The Crown Point Chamber of Commerce will celebrate its one-year anniversary Monday, March 5, at Frenchman’s Restaurant at 6:30 p.m. “Normally meetings are the first Tuesday of the month, but Frenchman’s is opening its doors and inviting the chamber members and prospective members to celebrate March 5,” said Nancy Ockrin, chamber co-chair. There will be time throughout the evening for current members to renew their membership as well as time for new members to join. The board meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. with a pot luck to follow.
Last year ’s accomplishments and this year ’s goals will be addressed. Karen Hennessey will be the speaker and will share the progress and needs for the upcoming May bridge celebration. “We are marking our anniversary with 42 members,’ Ockrin said, “but our greatest resource lies not in the number 42, but rather in those within the 42 who care enough to get involved.” Meal plans are being formalized and members can either email momockrin@gmail.com or call 597-3754 with what they are bringing from the categories of appetizer/salad, main dish/casseroles and dessert. Two distinctive door prizes will be drawn during the evening.
water and bring the ice anglers back safely at about 4:40 p.m. There were five adults and three children who were stranded. The adults had parked their cars nearby and walked out onto the ice to fish, then couldn’t get back to the shore.
Crown Point from page 1 advantage of it. It’s another tool for government to reach people.” Tara Peters, who took a seat on the town board in January, will head up the internet project. “Tara has stepped up and volunteered to do this,” Harrington said. “This is certainly going to make communication with the community much easier and faster.” The supervisor said new software at the town hall will allow the website to be maintained locally. Harrington wants Crown Point residents to be confident the new website will contain factual, accurate, unbiased information. “We’re working to establish a policy for the use of the website that makes certain it’s not a political tool, but an information source for residents,” he said.

MARCH IS
NATIONAL DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AWARENESS MONTH Our Community is Better Together “Our Community is Better Together” is the theme for Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month 2012. Denton Publications and other businesses celebrate Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in March, and invite you to consider the true meaning of this year’s theme, “Our Community is Better Together.” Statewide, and across the nation, organizations devoted to serving individuals with developmental disabilities are planning special events in March to raise public awareness of the many abilities people have, regardless of disability. People with developmental disabilities are valuable contributing members of our community who have much to offer. They have proven to be reliable workers and employees and excellent volunteers, capable of meeting or exceeding expectations and standards. History of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month In 1987, President Ronald Reagan declared March as National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month.
The proclamation called for people to provide understanding, encouragement, and opportunities to help people with developmental disabilities lead productive and meaningful lives. This national proclamation generated renewed respect for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and has increased awareness of the issues faced by this constituency and by their families. Purpose of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month The month will commemorate the progress toward improving the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and also highlight the challenges that remain in achieving full inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Crown Point Bridge celebration on schedule By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The Champlain Bridge opening celebration is on schedule to take place May 19 and 20. The event will include an “Old Time Hometown Grand Parade” set to begin in Chimney Point, Vt., and travel across the new bridge to the Crown Point Historic Site, as well as many other events and attractions throughout the celebration. New York State Department of Transportation spokeswoman Carol Breen said recent rumors that suggested the bridge might not be shut down by the DOT to allow the parade are unfounded. “The group is in the process of completing necessary permits for the parade,” Breen said. “But we expect we should be able to approve the closing of the bridge for the parade.” The Lake Champlain Celebration Committee is applying for a closure period of about two
hours. During that time the committee must construct a plan to ensure emergency personnel have access to the bridge and an emergency procedure in place for parade participants. An organizer and fundraising coordinator for the celebration, Karen Hennessy, said the committee is composing an emergency procedure to ensure the safety of everyone at the event. “Incorporating an emergency course of action is a major part of our planning,” Hennessy said. “We will make sure if emergency vehicles need to get over the bridge there will be a way.” The two-day celebration will include events held on both the New York and Vermont side of the bridge to encourage people to visit the historical sites and events both sides have to offer visitors. Visitors can walk across the bridge to get to all the attractions or Essex County Transportation will provide a bus that can take visitors to events, Hennessy said. The committee is planning the event to be comparable to the first Champlain bridge open-
ing in 1929. “Forty-thousand people attended the first opening in 1929,” Hennessy said. “We don’t expect that many but we expect a lot to come and we’re going to reintroduce this corridor back to the world now that we have the bridge back.” The opening ceremony will be held on the New York side of the bridge on Saturday morning and the closing ceremony will be held on the Vermont side on Sunday evening. The closing ceremony will be concluded with a fireworks show that will be coordinated with music chosen by online voters. “People can go online to our website and make song suggestions for the fire works to be choreographed to,” she said. Just like the original opening in 1929, there will be a boat flotilla or a boat parade on Lake Champlain. Area boaters can decorate their vessels like a float. The Louis McClure of the Champlain Maritime Museum will be sailing through the flotilla as well. New York State Assemblywoman Teresa Say-
ward will be participating in the festivities and riding on a float. Other government representatives from both Vermont and New York have been extended invitations and Hennessy said she believes more representatives will confirm as the celebration draws closer. “We’re not planning any big speech giving or anything, we already did that the day the bridge was open,”Hennessy said.“This is just an invitation to our representatives to come help celebrate with us as we get back on track.” The event coordinators are inviting local artisans, craftsman, artists and musicians to get involved in the festivities by renting a booth to showcase their work. “The bridge will become a centerpiece and we want to showcase what we have to offer on both sides of the lake,” she said. “We want to show exactly what we have to offer here as its a great marketing tool for us as well. “ For a full list of events or to sign up to rent a booth at the opening day celebration go to the champlainbridgecommunity.org.
Essex County sees drastic drop in jail revenues By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — A 42-percent decline in revenues for the first month of the year at the Essex County Jail has one supervisor concerned. According to the monthly report of the jail, which was given to the Essex County Public Safety Committee at its Feb. 13 meeting, revenue generated by the jail in January of this year totaled $66,084.90. One year ago, that number was $113,606.66. “We are down significantly from January 2011,” Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting said. “The Essex County inmate count is climbing and the federal border count is declining. We did have a meeting with the Marshall’s and we expressed our concern, and we told them that we still have space. The two federal Marshall’s that came over last week were going back and trying to steer business our way.” In 2011, Essex County was housing an average of 31.65 federal inmates in the month of January, with a high of 38 and a low of 24. This year, the jail housed an average of 19.3, with a high of 23 (one below 2011’s low total) and a low of 17. Cutting also said the county has lost out on money it was
making by housing inmates from other counties. “We had a deal with Jefferson County, unfortunately Albany County heard about it and under-cut my rates and they are easier to reach from Watertown than we are, so Jefferson swung their business over,” Cutting said. “In the meantime, I am working with another couple of counties to try and take in some more county boarders, but we are still in the negotiating phase.” Cutting said they have also lost revenue that was earned from housing inmates from Franklin county. “Sheriff Mulverhill has brought in some alternatives to incarceration,” Cutting said. “He is still running right at capacity and we have an open invitation if he runs over to bring them here.” Inmates from other counties averaged 6.5 in January 2011, with a high of 8. In 2012, that number dropped to 2.9, with a high of 5, along with a period where there were no out of county inmates housed. North Elba Supervisor and County Board Vice-Chairman Roby Politi said he was concerned about where these numbers may lead. “If things continue, you will have a deficit of over $500,000
in revenue,” Politi said. “If you are down over $500,000 in revenue this year, that is a huge hit. What are your plans?” “We are talking to Putnam County,” Cutting said. “We had discussions with them last week concerning some of their overflow inmates, but Rensselaer County just opened up a huge addition and they are a lot more central than we are.” Cutting said again that he was also trying to work with federal marshalls as well as other counties. Cutting also said that the jail is being filled with more incounty inmates. While federal and other inmate numbers have gone down drastically between 2011 and 2012, total inmate count has gone up, from an average of 70.5 in 2011 (80 high, 62 low) to 72.6 in 2012 (79 high, 66 low). “Our own numbers are increasing and the more the Essex County inmates increase, the less room there are for boarders,” Cutting said. Politi said his biggest concern was if the trend of the first month of the year continued throughout 2012. “What was budgeted for 2012 in terms of revenue for the Jail,” Politi said. “I mean, we are going to be down over $500,000 if this keeps up.” “It is early in the year but it is conceivable,” Cutting replied.

New insertion machine beneficial at Denton Publications By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Denton Publications main office in Elizabethtown has a new insert stuffing machine to improve the way readers get their news and coupons. The new machine, the Kirk Rudy 512 Insert Machine, will allow papers to be produced much faster, with more inserts for the desired destinations, according to Daniel Alexander, President and publisher of Denton Publications. The new machine has the capability of inserting up to eight fliers compared to the former insert machine, the Muller 227, which could only handle five inserts. The company plans to utilize both machines to decrease production time. “With the new machine we can run twice as many inserts per hour as we could before,” Productions Manager Bill Coats said. The new machine increases the possible number of inserts for the over 325,000 papers
the company prints every week. For advertisers, it also allows easier handling of a variety of flier styles. From glossy print pages to flat paper inserts the machine can handle the pages with less damage. “Because of the diversity in styles of a lot of the inserts, we see the new machine will allow us to more easily distribute different sized, shaped and textured advertisements with our papers,” Alexander said. The machine also has an Ink Jet labeling system that prints and places address labels for papers that are put into mailboxes to be stacked in the order the carrier will deliver them. Alexander said the machine will reduce the need for “pre-stuffing” inserts the former machine couldn’t handle. It will also allow for advertisements and fliers to be designated to the area of destination which will cut down on production time and increase productivity. “As most businesses are losing productivity, we are doing the exact opposite,” Alexander said.

ccording to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), between 15-30-percent of people who have allergies have allergic reactions to cats or dogs. Cat allergies are approximately twice as common as dog allergies. Allergic reactions range from mild stuffy noses and itching to severe breathing problems, acute asthma attacks, and rashes. Cat allergies can even lead to chronic asthma. The cause of the allergic irritation is protein that is found in the pet's dead skin, or dander, in saliva, and in urine. The best treatment is to avoid contact with cats or dogs and their dander. However, there are solutions for those of us who are allergic but have pets and do not want to give them up. Here are some tips provided by the AAFA to reduce symptoms for family members who have allergies when keeping pets in your home: 1) Ban your furry friend from your bedroom and clean the bedroom aggresively. Most people spend 1/3 to 1/2 of their time in the bedroom, which provides quite a bit of potential exposure to pet allergens. 2)Remove wall-to-wall carpeting where dander can collect and keep surfaces throughout the home clean and uncluttered. If you wish to have carpeting, select
low-pile carpet that is easy to steam clean, or use area rugs which can be washed. 3) Wear a dust mask to vacuum, and use a vacuum with a HEPA air filter if possible. 4) If you have Dusty forced-air heat or air-conditioning vents in your home, cover the vents in your bedroom with cheesecloth or another dense material to collect particles. 5) Use of a HEPA or electrostatic air filter in the home is also helpful. 6) Bathing your pet weekly will reduce airborne dander; have someone who is not allergic brush your pet outside and change the litter box. 7) Your family doctor may also have some treatment available to reduce your allergic response. By following these steps, hopefully allergic family members and your pets will be able to live in greater harmony. Our featured pet this week is Dusty, a German Shepherd-mix who was found abandoned in a trailer locked in a bedroom with 8 other dogs.

County supervisors vs legislators: Which makes more sense?
“
Just look how the county is floundering right now, because no one is doing the county business. They all look out for what’s best for their towns, not what’s best for the county —Former longtime Westport Supervisor Wally Huchro
By John Gereau
johng@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A little more than two decades ago, there was a groundswell of support in Essex County for switching from an 18-member board of supervisors to a five- or seven-member board of legislators. Proponents pointed to a substantial cost savings to county taxpayers of as much as $250,000 a year and argued that legislators would be more apt to put county interests over those of a single municipality. Armed with a petition signed by 1,700 county voters, a small but vocal group made up of Walter “Wally“ Huchro, Spencer “Spence” Egglefield, Ed Hatch and Gordon Davis succeeded in persuading county supervisors to place a question on the ballot in the Nov. 6, 1990 general election. The question asked: “Should the Essex County Board of Supervisors appoint a Charter Commission for the purposes of replacing the Board of Supervisors with a County Legislature?” Had the vote passed, the commission would have then made a recommendation to the board of supervisors, who would have had the ultimate decision of placing the change in the hands of the voters through a referendum. Instead the effort fizzled, when voters, behind lobbying from town supervisors who opposed the change, voted 4,457 in favor to 7,234 against the move. Faced with some of the most trying financial times in the county’s history, some officials are again saying that a cost analysis study should be done to determine if a legislature would be a more prudent governing body for the taxpayers of the county. Reached for comment at his winter home in Florida, Huchro made it clear how he still stands on the issue. “There is no doubt that a county legislature is a more accountable, more efficient system of government,” Huchro said. “Just look how the board is floundering right now, because no one is doing the county business — they all look out for what’s best for their towns, not what’s best for the county.” Huchro, who served as Westport supervisor from 1968 to 1991 and also for five years as county administrator, gave a number of examples, from town supervisors each fighting to keep courthouses in their towns rather than centralize to the recent fight over privatizing the Horace Nye Nursing Home. He said some supervisors simply could not vote in favor of privatization — even if they believed it was in the best interest of county taxpayers — because constituents in their respective communities did not support it. “Take Moriah,” Huchro said. “Forty percent of the nursing home employees are from Moriah, so Tom (Scozzafava) has to vote in the best interest of his town, not the county. He can’t look at the big picture.” Scozzafava voted against privatization. Conversely, former Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew voted in favor of privatization just before the general election in November. Many of his constituents also work at Horace Nye, and Merrihew’s vote to privatize could have been the catalyst behind him being voted out, Huchro said.
Weighted voting Complicating matters, Huchro said, is the weighted voted system used by the county, which gives greater voting power to supervisors with the most constituents. A board of legislators would have equal voting power, he said. “Right now you have three towns that can basically control everything that happens with just one other vote,” Huchro said. The “Big Three” as Huchro called them, are the towns of Moriah, North Elba and Ticonderoga. Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava was also on the board in 1990, and was one
”
of the most vocal opponents of the changeover, arguing that a board of supervisors is able to better represent the needs of each town and the people they stand for. He said during the 1990 proposal, Moriah residents didn’t like the fact that the town would be split in half, with two legislators representing the same town. “People like having a single person to go to, having a town hall, a home base where they can come voice both town and county concerns, Scozzafava said. The final tally from Moriah’s four voting districts in 1990 mirrored Scozzafava’s assessment, with 1,191 voting against the move and just 329 in favor. Still, Huchro pointed out that seven of 18 Essex County’s towns voted in favor, and said many of those that voted against the move were fed misinformation from supervisors who were afraid of losing their jobs. “They ran around telling people that the towns were going to lose their identity, when in reality they were just worried about losing their paycheck,” Huchro said. Huchro said what many do not realize is that supervisors are paid salaries by both their towns and the county. “They should be working just as hard for the county where they get their fringe benefits as they do for the town,” Huchro said. “And it just doesn’t happen.” Scozzafava now says he’d support studying the idea again. “Looking at the complexity today of town and county government, I would support looking at a board of legislators again,” “Looking at the Scozzafava said. complexity today “The reality is of town and counyou get caught in the crossfire a ty government, I lot. It is hard to would support represent both.” looking at a board Westport’s of legislators current Supervisor, Dan Conagain.” nell, said he’d Tom Scozzafava also most likely Moriah Supervisor support studying a board of legislators, but said people should not be so quick to jump on the bandwagon simply because there may be a cost savings associated with it. “First, and to me most importantly, if one looks at this as just the cost in salaries they are doing an injustice to a study of the two systems,” Connell noted. Connell said there are many hidden cost benefits that come from supervisors representing their towns on the county board, such as shared services in areas like highway maintenance and grant writing. Dan Connell “Other departments such as Social Services and the Health Department are in contact with town supervisors on an at least monthly bases,” Connell said. “This again in my opinion creates a higher level of service and helps eliminate some situations that might ‘fall through the cracks.’”

board of legislators in 1970. The 19 towns in the county still are represented on the local level by part-time supervisors, who make a salary that ranges from a low of $5,000 to a high of $16,000. Health insurance is offered to only one Franklin County supervisor, Larry Miller in Harrietstown. The seven members of the Franklin County Board of Legislators receive $15,000 annually, plus health benefits and reimbursement for mileage and other related expenses. The Legislative Chair makes $18,000 annually. They meet twice a month at the Franklin County Court House in Malone as well as periodically with the respective town boards they represent. The seven districts are comprised of approximately 7,400 constituents each. In comparison, Essex County supervisors are split, with 12 considered full-time and six part-time. Their salaries range from a low of $18,937 to a high of $53,857 and nearly all are offered health insurance through both the town and county, plus mileage and other related expenses. A buy-out for those who opt not to take health insurance is also available at the county and in some towns. The buy-out incentive at the town level varies, at the county it is $3,000 for an individual, or $5,000 for a family plan. Essex County supervisors are also paid $17,335 each from the county, the budget liaison receives $19,438 and the chair of the board receives $22,339. Looking strictly at county salaries and putting other benefits aside, that means Franklin County’s Board of Legislator ’s make $108,000 annually, compared to Essex County at $319,137, a difference of $211,137.
Allowing more participation Ed Hatch, who now serves as supervisor of Willsboro, said he campaigned on disbanding the board of supervisors in favor of a legislature. A board of supervisors is an effective form of government, Ed Hatch Hatch said, but only if supervisors can separate town from county business. “Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen,” he said. Plus, the time demand of representing both a town and county eliminates a lot of capable people from running for the post, Hatch said. In counties that have a legislature, like Clinton and Franklin, legislators have other full-time professional jobs, like teaching and operating businesses. The system in Essex County makes it so those individuals cannot participate, and instead encourages people to make politics their life occupation, Hatch said. “When they started making it their jobs — at every level of government — it changed everything,” he said. While the concept of moving from a county board of supervisors to a legislature has been raised twice in Essex County, and defeated by voters twice, Hatch said it is time to address it again. “I’d support a board of legislators,” he said. “It’s time, and it has to be done.”

Winter has yet to relent A
fter I had spent a full of week respooling fishing lines, oiling reels, sorting tackle and replacing a pile of worn out and rusted flies, the snow began to fall. I didn’t give it much notice, at first, as I figured it was just scattered flurries. It came down slowly at first, but finally as the snow began to accumulate, I watched the side yard disappear under a cloak of white. “Too little, too late,” I muttered under my breath. I had spent most of the previous week traveling throughout the North Country, looking for snow, and skiing over sparse cover. Repeatedly, my days on the trail got off to a fast start as I skied over crust and dust conditions. In the late afternoon, the outbound journey typically featured a slow return, on tracks that had turned to slush and mush. Snow fleas often lined the ski tracks, and the maples had already been tapped. As the sap began to flow, it appeared the ski season was ready to go. After enjoying one last ski jaunt into Great Camp Santanoni, l was ready to relegate the ‘winter that wasn’t’ to the scrap heap. Soon after, I stashed my skis in the back of the garage, and tossed a pair of well worn, boots into storage. Rods and reels quickly replaced the wax and ski pools, and a stack of maps and hydrographic charts decorated the den. I was so certain March would come in like a lamb, I never considered that winter still had a bit of a lion left in it. Imagine my surprise when the season came roaring back. Better yet, was the fact that it arrived in an appropriate time to provide a wintery playground for The Mountaineer’s 10th annual, Adirondack Back Country Ski Festival. Scheduled for March 3 - 4 in Keene Valley, the annual charity event supports the Adirondack Ski Touring Council and the New York Ski Educational Foundation, and provides backcountry ski enthusiasts with an opportunity to demo the latest backcountry ski gear, participate in clinics, tours and enjoy a special Saturday evening at The Beaver Dome at Keene Central School. Celebrity guest athlete, Glen Plake will be the featured guest for the evening’s events. Plake, who has appeared in many of Warren Millers ski movies, is an international skiing sensation. His trademark is a tall, multicolored spike hairdo.
Plake is renowned for his flashy skiing style, which will likely be on exhibit at a local hill, as he enjoys the local ski scene. His visit is sponsored by Julbo, a premier manufacturer of glacier and fashion sun glasses. Other sponsors supporting the event and providing raffle items for Saturday evenings event include Back Country Ski magazine, Dynafit, Primaloft, Voile-USA, Marmot, Madshus, Garmont, Scarpa, Mammut, G3, and adkbcski.com. Guided ski tours and back country ski clinics will be offered by Cloudsplitter Mountain Guides of Keene Valley, and on the snow demos will be available from 10 to 2:30 on Saturday. Plake will be on site for telemark, skinning and avalanche beacon clinics. The location of the demo event will be announced on prior to the event. For further information and registration, please contact The Mountaineer at 576-2281 or visit www.mountaineer.com for further details.
Foreign Invaders Although both US and Canadian federal environmental protection organizations had previously ratified a set of strict, new standards developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) convention, the international standards were not good enough for New York state. The IMO measures were developed to require all international seagoing vessels to install standard systems of treatment to prevent ballast water from introducing exotic, invasive species into U.S. or Canadian waters, when the ships’ ballast tanks are discharged. Ships will discharge ballast water in order to change the ship’s draft and regulate stability, and often the ballast will include a host of foreign organisms. However, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation sought to impose stricter ballast treatment requirements than the IMO convention standards. New York’s tougher ballast standards were the result of an onslaught of invasive species which biologists believe were
Pictured above are the Eisenhower Locks of the St. Lawrence Seaway in Massena. New York is pushing for tougher ballast regulations to help stop the spread of invasive species in New York waters. introduced as a result of international shipping. New York is laced with shipping channels, ranging from the St. Lawrence Seaway to the north to the Hudson River in the south, the Great Lakes of Ontario and Erie in the west, and the Erie and Mohawk Canal which divide the state down the middle. Since a portion of the St. Lawrence Seaway cuts through the state, enforcement of the stricter standards set by the state of New York would have had a negative impact on the shipping of materials from many Canadian Ports, as well as those in New York and New Jersey. NYSDEC Commissioner Joe Martens, agreed the state will abide by current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ballast standards until December 2013, claiming, “New York remains concerned about the introduction and spread of invasive species in the state’s waterways and we hope that a strong national solution can be achieved.” It has been estimated that more than 180 invasive species currently infest New York waters, including zebra mussels, alewives, sea lamprey, spiny water fleas, round gobi, Eurasian milfoil, Didymo and Viral Hemmorhagic Septicemia. A majority of these foreign invaders found their way into New York waters following the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in the 1950’s. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.
