The T radition Continues
By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — A report highlighting demographic trends in the Adirondacks has prompted one of the Adirondack Park Agency’s top officials to speak about the importance of developing more economic opportunity in the region. APA Executive Director Terry Martino released a three-page document March 10, offering her perspective on the Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project, a report released last year that details an aging and relatively poor population living in an area with not much land available for developing business and industry. “The APRAP assessment provides an important foundation for us to be proactive in improving the park’s communities,” said Martino. “With creative focus, we can determine how to weather economic downturns and build the economy based on the park’s special character.” Prior to taking her current position in July 2008, Martino, was executive director of the Adirondack North Country Association, one of the major co-sponsors for the APRAP. “From the outset, we believed the assessment would provide facts we could agree upon as the basis for future planning discussions by park stakeholders,” she said. The report quantified what many Adirondack residents had suspected. The median age of 43 within the park is well above state and national averages and rising rapidly. Meanwhile, school enrollment is declining at alarming rates, down 31 percent since 1970. With over 40 percent of the park owned by the state, 20 percent under conservation easement, and another 15 percent already in use, only 25 percent of land in the Adirondacks is available for development, the assessment stated. Less than one half of one percent of the 6 million-acre park is used for commercial or industrial purposes. “While some trends in the report raise concerns, there was purposely no interpretation of the data to draw conclusions about causes,” Martino stated, arguing that to attribute the issues solely to the impact of state land ownership and private land regulations is going too far. She pointed to similar trends in other geographically similar areas, such as the Tug Hill Plateau and the Northern Forest portions of New England. Ultimately, said Martino, the APRAP highlights the need to merge economic growth with environmental protection and find creative ways to do business in a heavily protected setting. “For our region to truly benefit from the APRAP research, we need more focused effort on how to build and sustain park communities,” said Martino. Some of the major issues to tackle are how to adapt business and development strategies to the park’s aging population while also making the area more attractive for youth and young families, Martino said, and reducing local tax burdens Potential approaches Martino mentioned included expansion of entrepreneurship, gearing educational programs more toward regional economic opportunities, investing more in the maintenance of open space, encouraging more local food production, and improving infrastructure such as roads, broadband internet, and municipal water and sewer. “These are opportunities which, I am pleased to say, the Adirondack Park Agency endorses,” she said.

Vote upcoming for 2011 Winter Carnival themes SARANAC LAKE — Community members will once again have a chance to vote on the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival theme for the coming year, as Winter Carnival Committee members narrowed the field down to four choices March 10. At its annual organizational meeting in the North Country Community College Board Room, Committee members pooled together a list of 36 theme ideas for the 2011 carnival. With each member casting three votes, four theme ideas rose to the top: Renaissance Faire/Middle Ages, Space Alien
Invasion, Celtic Carnival and Under the Big Top/Circus. Readers of the Adirondack Daily Enterprise will be able to vote for their favorite in one of the paper ’s upcoming online polls. The Winter Carnival Committee will use the poll results to make its final decision on the 2011 Winter Carnival theme. In other business, Committee members re-elected its three officers to their positions for the 2011 Winter Carnival: Jeff Dickson, chairman; Katee Fobare, secretary; and Cynthia Martino, treasurer. In ad-
dition, two other members were voted to the board: Barb Martin and Eric Foster. The 2010 Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Recognition Dinner will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 23 at the Saranac Lake Adult Center. Susan Waters volunteered to be the head chef, and she will be serving chicken and biscuits. Liz Murray’s ticket was drawn in the 2010 Winter Carnival afghan raffle, a fundraiser for the Committee. The next meeting of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Committee will be Wednesday, April 14, 6 p.m. at the NCCC Board Room.
Cuts pose challenge to growth at NCCC By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — North Country Community College is showing continued growth in both its enrollment and the programs it offers, but recent cuts to its state funding could pose major challenges to its plans for the future. Dr. Carol Brown, the newly appointed president of NCCC, met with the Essex County Finance Committee March 15 to share an update of recent developments at the college. Brown was quick to report how the college has seen continual double-digit increases in its percentage of enrollment through the past few years, including a 15 percent increase from last year to the present year. Enrollment for the fall 2009 semester was 2,300 students. “We are anticipating another high enroll-
ment this fall,” said Brown. One hundred seventy of those students attended NCCC’s Ticonderoga branch campus, where the college expects to see continued growth through new offerings, such as its Massage Therapy and Registered Nursing programs. Future plans include the addition of an Associates degree program in Business. NCCC is also hoping to add a Health Science certificate program at its main campus in Saranac Lake, as well as a degree in Gerontology. “As we look at the demographics of the North Country, that’s an area we believe is very important,” Brown said. Other plans include the development of a capital planning project to renovate and expand buildings on the main campus, many of which are more than 80 years old. Glens Falls firm JMZ Architects will develop the plan, which will be submitted to
State University of New York officials for approval. NCCC targets 2015 as the finishing date for construction. Many of those future plans may be endangered by further cuts to state funding, however. Brown explained that the college took a $130-per-student mid-year cut, and an additional $245-per-student reduction is being proposed as part of Gov. David Paterson’s 2011 executive budget. “Those two reductions represent $600,000, roughly a quarter of our college’s budget,” said Brown. NCCC is joining with community colleges across the state in an effort to oppose next year ’s cuts. In the meantime, however, the college’s focus is on fiscal responsibility; obtaining additional grants for its educational programs in health care and other fields. “Our goal is to maintain a budget that, in the coming year, will be flat,” said Brown. “We believe we can do that.”

Three weekend shows lined up at Pendragon By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — Patrons to the Pendragon Theatre will have an opportunity to experience three very different and entertaining shows this weekend as the company presents its eighth annual New Directions festival. New Directions was initiated in 2002 as a forum for new work and emerging directors. Seven new plays and a dozen directors have been a part of the festival since its inception. “This year ’s lineup is a vibrant celebration of the diversity of theatre,” said Pendragon Artistic Director Susan Neal. First, in “The Cost of Living,” playwright and actor Donna Moschek will present a series of monologues based on a collection of interviews and correspondence related to a research study of poverty in the North Country. “These pieces became something more universal in scope than I could have imagined,” said Moschek, who has acted yearround with Pendragon since June 2008. “I believe that the power of these monologues lies in the fact that they are not fictitious; they are rooted in the real words of our friends and neighbors, people we work with and talk to every day.” New Directions is the first time since it's premiere in 2008 that “The Cost of Living”
will be performed in its entirety. Brandon Patterson, who has been a company member at Pendragon since summer 2009, will direct “Naomi in the Living Room,” a dark comedy starring Jason Amrhein, Leslie Dame and Clare Paulson. “Playwright Christopher Durang delivers a stunning portrait of absurdity,” said Patterson. “It's an awkward situation running around with its head chopped off and, in short, is not to be missed.” Finally, long-time Pendragon cast member Christopher McGovern will direct “The Dumb Waiter,” a one-act play by Harold Pinter. Jason Amrhein and Jordan Hornstein star. “This mysterious and moody study in suspense concerns two professional killers who wait apprehensively in a grubby windowless basement room for word of the next assignment,” McGovern explained. “The comic and the grotesque lie juxtaposed, with the hint of sinister forces hovering in ambush above the perplexed duo.” New Directions performances are scheduled for Friday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, March 20, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, March 21, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10. For further information and reservations, contact Pendragon Theatre at 891-1854 or send an e-mail to pdragon@northnet.org.

Essex County to add victim impact panels By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Drunk driving offenders in Essex County will soon be hearing a hardhitting message closer to home. Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague spoke at the county’s Finance Committee meeting March 15 and said she is working with other departments to start organizing DWI victim impact panels in Essex County. Sprague said she expressed concern to officials in the county’s STOP DWI program about the absence of victim impact panels shortly after being sworn in as District Attorney in January. Victim impact panels are often prescribed as part of sentences for driving while intoxicated and driving while ability impaired. Offenders are
required to sit in on two hour sessions where a panel of victims, their families, emergency responders and remorseful past offenders share their stories. Those assigned to attend a victim impact panel are required to have their blood alcohol levels checked with a breathalizer test on arrival. If they are intoxicated, they risk jail time for contempt of court. “I think it’s a great program; one I’ve been used to having in Clinton County for the past 10 years,” said Sprague. “We’re a little behind the eight ball.” Essex County has never offered victim impact panels. Instead, DWI and DWAI offenders in Essex County must attend in another county. A $25 fee they are required to pay is surrendered to the county where they attend the program. Holding the panels regularly in Essex County

would allow for those fees to stay local, bringing an additional $5,000 to $7,000 into county coffers each year, Sprague estimated. It would also make attending them more feasible for offenders. “We want to keep the revenue here,” said Sprague. Working in concert with Essex County STOP DWI, Sprague is hopeful the program could be up and running by June.
Joe Provoncha is Essex County’s STOP DWI coordinator. He said his department would be doing much of the legwork; coordinating each panel, arranging for a sheriff’s deputy’s presence and notifying attendees. “The need wasn’t there [before],” said Provoncha, “but the need is there now. There’s enough people now that can take advantage of it.”

The gift of not taking things personally
E
veryone has been insulted or hurt along the way and most have had this experience many times. Some stay stuck in their anger or sadness for protracted periods where, if unchallenged, they can literally make themselves sick. After knowing a few people that should be angry or sad in my opinion, but are not, I have concluded that the difference is in them, not By Scot Hurlburt in the parties that have hurt them or the sometimes horrific events that they have encountered. Ostensibly, they have learned how to shift out of that noisy and troublesome, stuck place. After much reading and practicing, I still get stuck, however much less often. I try not to read into things and to take things much less personally. The principal rewards are sound self-awareness and clarity of purpose. Being grounded in the knowledge that only you can determine if you are happy, successful and peaceful is a powerful reward. Eleanor Roosevelt was quoted as saying, “No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.” Everyone can get to this transcendental state and, in doing so, model this change for your children and for those around you. An important departure in thinking is to closely examine the things that we tell ourselves. Sometimes this inner dialogue has little to do with reality. Do you sometimes feel that you are just “too sensitive” and some people are just mean or that you are left out? If these and other negative stories are replayed with some frequency, be aware of these reoccurring themes. Try replacing the negative stories with a translation that is more positive or more neutral. Accept that not everyone will like you. Many others will. What is really important is your approval of your own values and behaviors. Start each day in a way that honors you. Take a walk, a run, some quiet time journaling; listen to soothing music or other activity that makes you feel good. This small step can be very empowering and will set a positive tone for the day. When all else fails, listen, really listen to yourself and others. Once you do, you can shift out of arresting anger and sadness. You will have acquired an important tool that will see you through no matter what happens to you. “Being aware that the person you become along the way is more important than what happens along the way.” Remember, all kids count.

The Middling West A
ccording to Social Studies textbooks, the vast American Midwest is nothing but an unbroken two-thousand-mile field of flowing wheat. These textbooks would also have us believe that the vast American Midwest is populated entirely by overall-wearing folk with names like Jebediah and Echolalia – simple, hardworking men and women who lean against battered pickup trucks all day, nodding and claiming that they “reckon” various things. Growing up in Saranac Lake, I never questioned the textbooks. As long as Jebediah and Echolalia produced enough bread to keep me in pb-and-j sandwiches, I had no reason to think about them or their amber waves of grain. My attitude might have made me a self-absorbed jerk – a regular Jay Leno, Jr. – but so what? It’s not that I disliked the Midwest or Midwesterners. If anything, I considered the region a pastoral paradise and the people pure-hearted neighborly types – the kind of humans the world could use more of, in fact. When I decided to attend graduate school at a vast Midwestern university in a sprawling Midwestern metropolis, however, I wondered if maybe the Social Studies books had painted an incomplete picture. True, I’d visited a different Midwestern city a year earlier – the imaginatively named Iowa City, Iowa – and found that it fit the textbook image perfectly (the tiny airport actually sat in the middle of what looked like an unbroken two-thousand-mile field of flowing wheat), but I figured a little research couldn’t hurt. So I turned to the greatest, most awesome research tool God has ever given mankind: Wikipedia. When I looked up the metropolis where I’d be living, I discovered that over one million people called the place home, and that there wasn’t so much as one unbroken two-thousand mile field of flowing wheat within the city limits. Furthermore, I discovered that the school where I’d be learning was the largest university this side of anywhere. I was appalled. When I’d imagined going to school in the Midwest, I’d imagined living in a tiny shack at the end of a dusty dirt road. I would stroll down that dirt road every morning, sporting a straw hat and faded overalls and chewing a blade of grass, to attend classes in a red-andwhite one-room schoolhouse. As I stared at the computer, dumbfounded, I concluded I was what we in the moron business call a moron. Of course the Midwest wasn’t all farmland and dirt roads and overalls. The Midwest was also urban sprawl, burnt-out facto-
ries, and rivers so polluted they often spontaneously combusted. If I wanted all farmland and dirt roads and overalls, if I wanted to earn an advanced degree in a one-room By Dan Leonidas schoolhouse, I’d have to look elsewhere – I’d have to look to the Deep South. Unfortunately (if not for the quality of my education, then for my dream of living like a modernday Tom Sawyer), I’d already committed to the Midwest. Luckily, my longtime friend and business associate, Dave, was moving with me. He’d also had his heart set on country living (his dream was to sip iced tea on his back porch while warning scruffy neighborhood children to “stay off his lawn”), but if we put our heads together, I hoped we could figure out a way to survive city life. Legally speaking, at least, we were both adults. Surely we could manage. Fast-forward to the end of our first week in the sprawling metropolis. Due to the endless street noise, neither Dave nor I have gotten a wink of sleep. We have, however, handed over a combined $3.86 in loose change to neighborhood panhandlers and gotten lost in the maze of alleyways surrounding our townhouse so many times that neither of us goes out anymore without a backpack full of supplies, a pocket knife, and a walkie-talkie. Deciding we’ve had enough, Dave and I hatch a plan so outrageous it just might work (though, as we both know, it almost certainly won’t): we’ll pack my car with the bare necessities and flee to Nowheresville, Georgia, where we’ll change our names and eke out a living ineptly playing bad country music for simple, hardworking men and women in the local honky-tonk. We manage to pack our bags, and we even stop at the library to print out MapQuest directions to Nowheresville, but we end up just driving around town for a few hours before deciding to stay put. What changes our minds? Nothing we see in the city (though both of us come to like the place after a while). Rather, we realize that we find overalls – not to mention honky-tonks – unspeakably lame.

Where’s the beef for the coupon shoppers?
“I
’ve been Super-Couponing for about four months now, and I am amazed at how many things I’m getting for free. I don’t think we will ever have to buy another tube of toothpaste or bottle of shampoo again! I have a question on meats specifically. How can I save more on these, too?” Once you’ve cut your grocery bill significantly with coupons, your attention will likely turn to the area this reader asks about — saving on meat. It’s true it’s not always easy to find coupons for meats, but they’re out there at times. A better way is to pay attention to meat prices. The best ways to save on meats are to note the 12-week cycle lows. In past columns, I’ve discussed the grocery store’s price cycle, where everything in the store hits its lowest price point once every 12 weeks. This holds true for meats, too! If you watch and pay attention to the meat prices at your store, you will likely notice a range in price for the same cuts and packages. Once you start to learn the highs and lows, you want to buy meats when they’re at the low end of that cycle. My rule of thumb is the $1.99 mark. Any time a meat cycles at or below that price, whether it’s beef, poultry, pork or seafood, it’s a buy — simply because that’s the cycle low at my local stores. Occasionally it may dip even lower than that. Chicken breasts sometimes will go on sale as cheaply as $1.69/pound, and fish fillets sometimes go down to $1.29/pound — but if we need a particular kind of meat and it’s under $2/pound, it’s time to buy. Then, when that good sale comes around, I’ll look for coupons, too. There indeed are coupons for meats — think of the many brand-name manufacturers that package poultry and pork products. Many of these manufacturers’ Web sites also will have printable coupons at times to further reduce the prices of ground turkey, frozen chicken patties, pork chops or similar products. I also check the wording on coupons for name-brand pre-packaged deli meats I see in my newspaper inserts. Many times, these coupons will say something like “$1 off prepackaged turkey slices or 1 pound of deli meat.” Many of the same companies that offer packaged meats also sell name-brand meats at the deli counter, and I can enjoy
freshly sliced meats at a savings, too. Your store itself may offer meat coupons at times during certain promotions. About three weeks ago, I received a Catalina coupon at the register for beef. It stated “$10 off when you purchase $35 or more of beef at our meat counter.” The coupon’s expiration date was 30 days out. I kept an eye on the steaks, ground By Jill Cataldo beef and other beef products at this store, but they were all cycling very high. Still, I hung onto that coupon though it seemed unlikely to me that I might use this one before it expired. Then this week, the store ran a special on steaks. The steaks, formerly $5.50/pound, were on sale for $1.99/pound. That’s a buy in my book — though it took 18 pounds of steaks to get over the $35 mark! But my 18 pounds of steak, at $35.82, qualified for me to use that valuable $10 coupon, bringing my total for the steaks down to $25.82 — or $1.43/pound! That’s a steal for any meat, especially steaks that were previously priced at more than $5 a pound. If you’re stocking up on meats, just as we stock up on nonperishables, it definitely helps to have a second freezer. Especially with a larger family, I’ve found my chest freezer to be an invaluable tool for stockpiling meats and frozen goods. I can stock up when great meat sales come around, like the one above. Now, we’ll enjoy those steaks for several months, knowing they were purchased at an incredible price!

GUESTVIEWPOINT VICs crucial to Adirondack Park
A
s an Adirondack businessman who relies on tourism for his livelihood, I am asking the New York State Adirondack Park Agency to keep its Visitor Interpretive Centers in Paul Smiths and Newcomb open, not close them at the end of 2010 and lay off its nine employees as planned. I served the State of New York as the Senior Public Information Specialist at the VICs from 2001 to 2009, and I have seen firsthand what a difference these facilities make in regard to tourism and environmental education. In 20 years, both buildings have hosted almost 2 million visitors and educated about 75,000 students. Parents who attended educational programs at the VICs in the early years are now bringing their children back to learn about the natural history of the Adirondacks. The VICs and their not-forprofit partner, the Adirondack Park Institute (which pays for programs), have achieved their goal of “Teaching a Generation to Care.” Why does the State thinks it is okay to stop with only one generation? Privatizing the VICs is an easy way to pawn off environmental education on the private sector, which is a backwards approach. Educating the public about why it is important to protect the Adirondack Park is the State’s responsibility. Moreover, the loss of these facilities would adversely affect the economy in Essex and Franklin counties. The Town of Brighton, home of the Paul Smiths VIC, already lost jobs
TRI LAKES TODAY - 5
in 2009 when the State closed the Camp Gabriels correctional facility. Two more correctional facilities, Moriah Shock and Lyon Mountain, are slated to be shut down. The State wants to close the John Brown Farm and Crown Point State Historic Sites. What’s next? Instead of helping residents improve their lives by boosting the economy, the State of New York is taking away jobs and making it tougher to stay here. We only have about 135,000 residents in the Adirondack Park, which more than doubles in the summer, and we host more than 8 million tourists each year. With these closures, New York would be driving people away from the Adirondacks – residents and visitors – and hurting its taxpayers. By saving money at these free facilities, tourists are able to spend more in the community: at restaurants, shops and other fee-based attractions. If the State keeps taking away its Adirondack Park attractions, many tourists will undoubtedly decide to go elsewhere for their vacations, and the State will lose money in sales tax revenue. Why would the State take away from that revenue stream and hurt small businesses that rely on tourism dollars to sustain their livelihoods? The State of New York created the Forest Preserve, the Adirondack Park, and the Adirondack Park Agency; forced land-use restrictions on property owners; and used taxpayer money to buy millions of acres of land and land easements within the Adirondack Park. The State is therefore responsible for fostering a balanced economy inside the Adirondack Park because its creation of the Park and the Park Agency burdens the local economy by restricting economic development.

The Adirondack Park is a special place. At 6 million acres, it is the size of the State of Vermont, and there are many natural communities that make up the complex Adirondack ecosystem. Seen from space, the Park is unusually green compared to the gray shades of development that surround it on all sides. That’s a lot of land to interpret. And you simply can’t do it with a PR department of one employee, which is what the APA has decided is feasible. I encourage you to stop by the Newcomb and Paul Smiths VICs and find out for yourself why keeping these buildings in State operation is essential to New York and its citizens. Please put pressure on the APA and the Governor to come up with a plan to keep both centers open.

Help keep John Brown site open To the editor: If Governor Patterson gets his way, for the first time since the creation of the Niagara Falls State Park 125 years ago, New York State will shut down most of its historic sites and many of its parks. Not one park or historic site was closed during the Great Depression; indeed, that is when many were built or opened. Why? Because, in hard times, people turned to such places for relief, for relaxation, for spiritual uplift – and because they are affordable. That was true then and it is today as attendance is up 2 million over last year. How much will it take to keep 88 parks and historic sites open? $11.3 million. One of those sites slated to close is abolitionist John Brown’s Farm. This is hallowed ground. Black and white men who gave their lives 150 years ago to free 4.2 million enslaved Blacks are buried there. Their actions changed the course of our nation. A gift to the State of New York in 1896, the John Brown Farm State Historic Site has been open to visitors without interruption ever since. How much will the State save by closing this sacred site now? $40,000. That’s it. Just $40,000.
We need you to write letters, get school groups to write letters, and get your friends to write letters and or organize phone-ins to your Assemblyperson and Senator and demand that all parks and historic sites be kept open, that $11.3 million be restored to the Office of Parks, Rec & Historic Places (They will still be taking a 26 percent cut even with the 11.3 restored) – and demand that the John Brown Farm stay open. We also invite you to come to the John Brown Farm May 9th in Lake Placid, NY to celebrate John Brown Day 2010 and take a stand with actor Danny Glover and others gathering to honor our abolitionist forebears and to demand that the site remain open and fully funded by the State. Join us that evening in a benefit concert to raise funds for Haiti. Martha Swan, director, John Brown Lives! and Naj Wikoff, coordinator, John Brown Coming Home: 150th Commemoration
Carbon monoxide detectors now required in all NYS homes By Matt Bosley denpubs@denpubs.com
71249
LEWIS — Homeowners in Essex County should take note of a new state law calling for wider usage of carbon monoxide alarms. Gov. David Paterson signed “Amanda’s Law” in August 2009, requiring all homes in New York State to be equipped with a carbon monoxide detector. The law took effect Feb. 22. The law is named for Amanda Hansen, a 16-year-old from West Seneca, N.Y. who died of carbon monoxide poisoning from a defective boiler while staying overnight at a friend’s house. As a bill, it was widely supported by legislators of both parties. It requires homes built prior to 2008 to have a batterypowered carbon monoxide alarm installed on the lowest story having a sleeping area. Those built after 2008 must have a hard-wired alarm with battery back-up on each story with a sleeping area or where a source of carbon monoxide is located. According to Essex County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish, local enforcement of the law will be exacted through each town’s code enforcement officer. There are no specific fines or penalties listed in the law as of yet, but they could be added in the future. “It’s not like you’re going to have the carbon monoxide police coming and searching your home or anything like that,” said Jaquish, noting that most of the focus will remain on ensuring detectors are installed in apartments and other multi-family units. Still, Jaquish said, installing at least one carbon monoxide detector in your home is, at the very least, a wise decision for the sake of safety. “We usually get a fair number of [emergency] calls for [carbon monoxide] alarms going off,” said Jaquish, noting one such call as recently as last week in Moriah that led firemen to discover a propane leak.
Deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning have been recorded in Essex County, said Jaquish, though most of them occurred during events like the Ice Storm of 1998 when many people were forced to use gas-powered generators or home heating sources that were not properly ventilated. “And we have had people who have been affected by carbon monoxide poisoning,” He added. Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas produced any time a fuel is burned. It is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the U.S. Even non-fatal exposure can cause damage to the heart and central nervous system. As Jaquish explained, the effects of carbon monoxide are cumulative and can develop to poisonous levels over long periods of time. At high concentrations, however, it can become fatal in a matter of minutes. “It’s an oxygen theif,” Jaquish said. “It steals oxygen from your blood.” While carbon monoxide is a danger for any home that burns wood or fossil fuels, Jaquish estimates less than half the homes in Essex County have a carbon monoxide detector installed. “A lot of people do the smoke alarms,” he said, “but they don’t bother with a carbon monoxide detector.” Fortunately, Jaquish said, most fire departments in Essex County have their own carbon monoxide detecting equipment, some of which also track other harmful gasses. In most cases, they can use those sensors to determine the source of the gas. In many cases, he said, it is determined to be a false alarm resulting from a defective carbon monoxide detector. “So you want to be sure to buy one that has a good consumer rating,” Jaquish said. Carbon monoxide detectors generally range in price from $20 to $50, depending on what other features they offer. Most recommend replacement every five years. “Sometimes a law is in place to force people into safe behaviors,” said Jaquish, “but in all cases, it’s up to the person to decide the safe thing to do.”

ALBANY — A major economic study focused on private practice physicians in New York State indicates that the estimated 20 physician practices in Essex County are driving $13 million into the county’s econo-
Mon.-Fri. 10-6 • Sat. 10-5 • Sun. 12-4 59151
my through the employment of 152 physicians and staff members. The study was developed by Specialized Analytics and Kavet, Rockler & Associates, a Storrs, CT, research organization, and was funded by the Medical Society of the State of New York. According to the study, each private practice physician’s office in Essex County employs an average of eight individuals with each practice putting an average of $663 thousand into the economy. “This translates into real money going into the local economy to pay the rent or mortgage, buy groceries, put gas in the car and buy from
local retailers,” commented Dr. Leah McCormack, President-Elect of MSSNY and chair of the economic study. “While the focus of local physicians and their staff is alleviating pain and getting people better, we seldom recognize that these team members also participate in the local community, help their kids with homework, vote in the local election and are part of the local economic backbone.” Private practice physician offices in Essex County put an estimated $87,136 per employee into the local economy, the study said. This, in turn, spins off an estimated $9,602 per employee to fund schools, police and fire de-
partments, road maintenance and other municipal and county services through local taxes. Almost the same amount is generated to pay state taxes. On average, each of New York’s 18,000-plus private practices has nine employees. Data indicates that an additional four people are employed in support of each private practice physician’s office. According to the study, private practice physician offices rank second in the state in terms of total business establishments and sixth in terms of total employment.

Grant assists Tupper Lake small business TUPPER LAKE — A new grant will soon be giving a boost to small businesses here. The town of Tupper Lake recently received notice that it has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the New York State Office of Community Renewal to develop a townwide microenterprise program. The money will be distributed among local microenterprises, that is, businesses with five or fewer employees. Each business can receive up to $35,000 to assist with working capital, training expenses, and inventory or equipment purchases. “We are excited to have this opportunity to assist our local small businesses move forward, expand and make investments in the community,” said Tupper Lake Supervisor Roger Amell. “The town identified small business assistance as a primary goal during the Economic Development Strategy process, and we are happy to see that it is moving forward.” Assistance is available to businesses that
will be able to create employment opportunities for residents. The focus of the program is on tourism-related businesses, such as hotels, motels, restaurants and retail stores, but all businesses that meet the requirements are invited to apply. “Tourism is the main driver of our economy,” Amell added, “and it is our hope that this grant will help local tourism businesses be more successful.” In addition to financial assistance, business owners will also be offered business training to help them achieve their goals. The town has contracted with the Saratoga Springs-based group Camoin Associates to administer the program. Applications are not yet being accepted, but business owners can be added to a contact list by calling Rachel Selesky at 899-2608. A detailed summary of eligibility criteria and other requirements of the program will also be available in the coming weeks.

Sportsman’s Dinner launches a new season
I am consistently impressed with the friendliness of the participants and the enthusiasm of the many youngsters in attendance. It is a truly family affair and the children represent the future of our hallowed outdoor traditions. It is encouraging to know that not all of the kids in this country are saddled by cell phones and strapped with iPods. I offered a seminar on bass fishing, (I know what you’re thinking… bass? Well, it is the other white meat and it remains the most popular game fish in North America), and the kids kept me on my toes with solid questions and excellent feedback. After the experience, I am now more convinced than ever that bass fishermen are actually just snowmobilers, enjoying the off season.
The New Season
Jay McGrath of Burlington hoists a fine fall brook trout, prompting many anglers to dream of ice out.
L
ast weekend, I traveled to Schroon Lake for the Adirondack Sportsman’s Dinner. The annual event, which is organized by over a dozen local ministries, draws an enthusiastic crowd of sportsmen and women from across the entire region. Best of all, there is no admission fee! It’s no wonder that the tickets are scooped up within a day of release. The food is rivaled only by the friendships, although this year ’s selection of home made desserts was a huge hit. It is interesting to witness neighbors from Chazy meet up with neighbors from Thurman as folks from Thendara mix easily with others from Dresden. While they may not be actual neighbors in a physical sense, at this gathering, they share common ground through their obvious passion for the outdoor life. By the time I arrived, all of the available parking lots were packed and overflow lined the shoulder of the road. Vehicles ranged from a fancy, new Hummer to a collection of the oldest, most rusted pickups I had witnessed at one time. There was actually a pickup with a side door sealed with duct tape and the windshield, nearly obscured behind a pile of discarded chew tins. In all my years of traveling to sporting events, I’ve never seen so many kids and toddlers dressed in camo. I often joke that the event represents the largest redneck reunion in the state, but there were simply too many full sets of teeth to verify such a claim. As always, the event offered a number of guest speakers and sporting seminars covering topics ranging from hunting to angling to wilderness survival and more. Old friends like Gary Hodgson, a retired Forest Ranger from Lake Placid, presented a workshop on building a birch bark canoe, while former DEC Wildlife Biologist, Mark Brown from Warrensburg gave a talk on ice fishing and Moriah’s famous Salerno boys dazzled the crowd with an impressive display of big racked, Adirondack whitetails. Other presenters included Wilmington’s Paul Tremblay with Come Fly The AuSable, Bill Kozel on Deep Woods Deer and Bear Hunting, Marty Simons and Bobby Plude’s popular survival lecture, Turkey Hunting with Steve Cuzzacrea, Women gone wild...for the outdoors! with Melanie Houck and a host of others. Joey Hancock, a southern gentleman, outdoor writer, hunting guide and TV celebrity, delivered the keynote address. He had the crowd roaring with a standup routine that would have made Jeff Foxworthy proud. However, what impressed me most about the event is not the collective knowledge of the assembled outdoor experts, nor the fabulous Sportsman Show with its many displays and regular equipment give-aways.
Speaking of seasons, there is a new one looming on the near horizon as April 1 approaches with the opener of trout season. And with the new season, comes many old promises which I hope will be honored. I hear about these promises when the frantic phone calls begin, usually in the early part of August. The frequency tends to accelerate as the end of the summer nears. By the time September arrives, there is a noticeable quivering in their voice. On the opposite end of the line, the story usually goes something like this, “Hello, you don’t know me, but I was wondering if you can help me. I’m looking for a guide to take me and my kid(s) out on a fishing trip. For the last couple of years, I’ve promised ‘em that we’d go fishing in the Adirondacks, and now they’re almost too old. I know you’re probably pretty busy right now but…we can come up almost anytime you’re available….and school starts in about a week….uum, is there any possibility you could squeeze us in….please?” I often feel a twinge of sadness as I explain I am already booked solid through the end of September, and that it’s likely most of the other guides are booked as well. As always, I tell them I’m sorry and offer my suggestions and regrets. Often, the panic in their voice is palpable, because Little Johnny is now almost 16 years old and he’d much rather chase girls than fish for speckled trout with his Dad. There are few activities that parents and children can share that provide for such lasting memories as a family fishing adventure. Although studies consistently rank childhood memories of camping trips as the single most indelible childhood experience, memories of catching that first fish usually rank close behind. Most anglers that I know, can easily recite the tale of their first catch, often in startling detail, as if it had occurred yesterday. I often explain to guests that the quality of their catch should not be gauged by the size of the fish, but rather, by the length of its tale. I can recall more than a few instances where a father has actually jumped into the water with a net, to assure that his kid’s first fish was landed. After spending a full day at the Sportsmans Dinner in Schroon Lake, I returned to Lake Placid in time join a large contingent of flimsy flyrodders watching the Flyfishing Film Tour at the Center for the Arts. The event, which was a benefit for the Tri-Lakes Chapter of Trout Unlimited, featured a collection of short films that were filmed in settings ranging from Patagonia to Alaska and from the waters of the Arctic to the Carribean. By the end of the program, my casting hand was twitching like a gunfighter ’s getting ready to slap leather. When I finally got home and emptied the bass fishing gear from the back of my truck, I was so full of energy and enthusiasm that I spent the next hour spooling new flyline on three of my reels. I sometimes wonder why people claim fishing is so relaxing. By the time the trout season finally rolls around, I have usually stored up so much energy and accumulated tension; that I could probably dive in and catch trout in my teeth. Relaxing hell, unleash me let me at ‘em! Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net
t was a record breaking turnout for the 18th annual Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club ice fishing derby March 6 - 7, with 567 people coming out to participate under warm sunny skies. Unfortunately fishermen weren’t the only ones thawing out over the weekend as the mercury tipped 50 degrees. Unseasonable ice conditions followed and the event was marked by a truck, Jeep and 4wheeler plunging through the ice just south of the narrows. Thankfully, no one was hurt and the competition continued. When it was all said and done, Jeremiah Millington of Warrensburg had bragging rights with a nearly 20pound northern he said he caught “somewhere on the lake.” The fish measured 43 inches. Other first place fish included a 8.65 pound, 30-inch laker caught by Mike Winters of Gansevoort; a 2.63 pound, 20-inch landlock caught by Jerry Smith III of Schroon Lake; a 1.5 pound perch caught by David Disonell, Sr. of Hannacroix and a 4.2 pound, 26-inch pickerel caught by Richard Wagner of Avon, CT. The remaining contest winners included: • Northern Pike — Brian Hall of Bolton Landing, second place with 9.04 pounds and 33 inches. Third place went to Kevin Duntley of North Hudson with 8.11 pounds and 32 inches. • Lake Trout — Second place went to Darrell Clark of Schroon Jeremiah Millington of Warrensburg caught this Lake with 7.23 pounds 19.64 pound, 43-inch Northern Pike during the and 28 3/4 inches and Schroon Lake Fishing Derby March 6-7. The big third place went to Nicfish netted Millington first place in the pike catehole Plumstead of gory. Schroon Lake with 7.13 Photo by John Gereau pounds and 28 inches. • Salmon — Second place went to Mike Flaherty of Round Top with 2.32 pounds and 19 inches and third place went to Cody Dunlavy of Queensbury with 2.10 pounds and 18 inches. The Ice Auger raffle was won by Marline Powers and Jim Robbins of Schroon Lake. The Pack Basket and Sled raffle was won by Brad Bordeau of Moriah. The Schroon Lake Class of 2012 50-50 raffle was won by Chris Meduri of Schroon Lake and the Fish and Game Club 50-50 raffle was won by Brandon Stuart of Townsend, MA. Club president Don Sage said the club would like to thank all the volunteers, donators, and contestants who contributed to making this a very successful and enjoyable weekend. “We invite everyone back to next year's, the 19th derby, held on the first weekend of March, and bring your friends. Hope to see you all next year. Visit us online at www.schroonlakefishandgameclub.com,” he said.
Fur prices on the mend As a kid growing up in the Adirondacks, my mornings before school and my evenings after were consumed with the outdoors. I ran a rather extensive trapline for beaver, otter, mink and muskrat as well as land animals like fox and coyote. It served as a great deterrent to some of the mischief other kids were getting involved in and, at times, proved quite lucrative. “The best thing about trapping is you’ll always have a buck in your pocket,” my uncle Ed used to say. Unfortunately, those days became a thing of the past. Fur prices dropped so low, that I couldn’t justify taking the animal for what trappers were being paid. I was never in it for the money, but the fur prices were downright insulting. It now appears that is changing. Fur prices are slowly climbing closer to what they were 20 years ago. Here is a glimpse at how much fur was selling for on average in February, according to the Fur Harvesters Association. Muskrat was the real highlight, selling at an $8.50 average. Beaver pelts landed at $21 each with a high of $72 and a low of $14, while raccoon held ranges of $13-$22 based on grading. Coyote prices came in at the $30-$35 range — a 36 percent increase over last year — and eastern red fox rose noticeably above last season's levels to $31. Grey fox performed well, gaining buyer attention at $20 each. Otter, one of the most poorly performing pelts over the past few seasons, returned to acceptable pricing at an average of $42. Fisher remained a popular item for buyers, with a typical fur selling at $62. John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications and an avid outdoorsman. He can be reached at johng@denpubs.com.

Study concludes road salt is threatening trees, wells, wildlife By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Road salt, according to a recent study, is not only deteriorating bridges and pavement and corroding vehicles, but it’s killing trees, threatening water supplies and degrading the environment over the long term. The study was conducted by the Adirondack Watershed Institute and funded by ADK Action. It’s the third such report released in the last year that calls for changes in the way ice and snow is managed along highways. Daniel Kelting of the Watershed Institute said that excessive salt use results in significant damage to both natural and man-made environments. “We think the water, plants and wildlife of the Adirondack Park deserve special treatment from roads crews to protect them from harm,” Kelting said, noting that salt also damages roads, bridges, vehicles and buildings — and is contaminating wells that provide drinking water. The study indicates that salt levels in some Adirondack
lakes — particularly those near roadways — contain up to 50 times or more the chloride than they should naturally. Sodium Chloride in Schroon Lake is about 11 times it’s desirable level, according to the report. One of the study’s recommendations is the creation of a “salt sensitivity map.” The map would visualize specific areas where drinking water, plant-life and animal habitats are at particular risk. “Creating an official salt-sensitivity map is the logical first step toward better protections,” Kelting said. Two previous studies were commissioned by the Adirondack Council and the University of Maine. The studies indicate that roadside trees are dying in evergreater numbers due to road salt, and that salt runoff into waterways may be encouraging chloride-resistant invasive species — such as milfoil and zebra mussels — to spread and choke out more sensitive native plants. Also, high chloride levels have been shown to damage lake ecosystems, contributing to algal blooms, eutrophication, and damage to fish and native aquatic plants. The salt study revealed that the state DOT currently applies more road salt than any other state, about 950,000 tons of road salt annually, or an average of about 22 tons per lane- mile. Lee Keet, chair of the water quality committee for ADK Action, said his group will be lobbying to reduce salt use. “We are paying an immeasurable cost in reduced property

values and tourism,” he said. “We cannot continue to ignore the deleterious effects road salt has on human and animal health.” The watershed institute report contains research showing the negative effects that chlorine and sodium contamination have on water quality. The report details some of the alternatives to road salt that are being employed in other states. The study recommends substituting Magnesium Chloride, noting that it is not only more effective than road salt at lower temperatures, but it also has beneficial effects on forests and soils — but, it is considerably more expensive. Brian Houseal, executive director of the Adirondack Council, said it is important to be realistic about road salt. “We cannot just stop using road salt tomorrow,” he said. “But we need to start protecting our most sensitive places now.” The state Department of Transportation is already proposing to reduce its salt usage as a means to save costs. Part of the DOT’s 2010-11 budget calls for careful monitoring of the quantity of salt used by snow plow drivers. It’s estimated that a significant reduction in salt usage could save the state millions of dollars per year. “While many of these alternatives may cost more up-front, they can mitigate many of the long-term environmental and infrastructure costs that we face with continued overuse of salt,” Houseal said. The University of Maine study recommends investing in porous asphalt that allows de-icing chemicals to soak through to collection pools underneath road surfaces to prevent runoff. In addition to the environmental impact of road salt, the material also causes significant harm to motor vehicles. Annual nationwide damage by road salt is estimated to be $11.7 billion to private vehicles and $26 billion total when including damage to roadways and other infrastructure. Some of the major findings in the study include that most state highway officials don’t recommend the use of road salt at temperatures under 15 degrees; preventive anti-icing measures can reduce costs by more than 50 percent over after-the-fact salt spreading; and half of vehicle corrosion can be attributed to the regular use of road de-icing salts.
