Senate budget would close Moriah Shock, de-fund ORDA By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com The New York State Senate released a $136 billion spending plan Monday that includes prison closures and a $7 million cut to the Olympic Regional Development Authority. Lawmakers say the plan softens some of the cuts proposed in Gov. David Paterson’s 2010-11 Executive Budget. The senate plan does not affect state parks or historic sites. Sponsored by Senate Majority Leader John Sampson and Finance Committee Chairman Carl Kruger, the preliminary 2010-11 Legislative Budget features $3 billion more in appropriations than Paterson’s $133 billion plan. The preliminary senate budget would close three upstate prisons — the Moriah Shock Correctional Facility, Lyon Mountain Correctional Facility and Butler Correctional Facility — within the next 12 months. Kruger said cuts need to be made somewhere. “This budget is about priorities,” Kruger said. “It is about doing everything in our power to enact a fair and responsible budget.” The senate budget spares the medium security Ogdensburg facility — the largest of the four slated for closure in the proposed executive budget. The facility falls within Democratic Senator Darrel Aubertine’s district. Republican John DeFrancisco said the $1.5 billion in one-shots and spin-ups in the Democratic proposal are only partisan gimmicks. He blasted Democrats for keeping Republicans largely in the dark while making cuts in GOP districts. “This product by the way was presented to us in draft form for the first time yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock and in final form, today at 2 o’clock,” DeFrancisco said. “That’s only an hour before this particular session started.” If adopted, the proposal would also slash over $7 million in ORDA funding. This particular budget amendment blindsided Sen. Betty Little. “The proposed complete elimination of state funding for ORDA is the biggest surprise today,” Little said. “ORDA and Lake Placid attract hundreds of thousands of tourists, so I am perplexed by the logic of this proposed cut which no doubt would cost the state and the region a lot of revenue.” Senator Ruth Hassell-Thompson said the cuts aren’t based on party affiliation or region. “But know that this in the best interest of the state and cut we must,” she said. “We’ve tried to do in it in a manner that is both safe and judicious.” ORDA spokesman Jon Lundin said it is too early in the process to assess the potential impacts of the cuts. “It’s only a proposal,” Lundin said. “We will watch it closely.” The Senate Majority proposes restoring $79 million to the state Environmental Protection Fund, the lion’s share of which would be spent on state land acquisitions, and an additional $290 million in senior citizen STAR exemptions. It also restores $6 million to the Office of

Tykes ski with US Team By George Earl denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE – “Did I beat him?” five-year-old Morgan Olson asked her mother after skiing a slalom course at Mount Pisgah. She was racing Ted Ligety, the overall World Cup champion for giant slalom. “I’m not sure,” said Nikki Olson, the girl’s mother. “It was close.” Morgan, who is from Bloomingdale, was one of about a 100 children who got to pal around with U.S Ski Team athletes on March 19, the day before the Alpine Championships began at Whiteface Mountain. About a half dozen of the athletes warmed up for the big race by skiing what Ligety called a challenging course at Pisgah. “It’s about on par with Park City,” he said, referring to the mountains he grew up skiing in Utah. Ligety said he had a chance to ski with Olympic gold medalist Tommy Moe when he was young, “so it’s really incredible for me to be out here with these kids today.” The friends of Mount Pisgah organized the event to raise money for the “Lift mount Pisgah” project, part of an effort to replace the mountain’s 70-year old T-bar. About 130 lift tickets were sold at $15 each, in addition to dozens of Lift Mount Pisgah T-shirts and concessions, bringing in a total of about $2,400. In 1989 the group collected $35,000 to put in snow-making, and in 1999 volunteers raised a half million dollars to build the current ski lodge after a wall in the old lodge caved in. “Fundraising for the new lift is going in the right direction,” said Mt. Pisgah Manager Matt Cook. “We're in our second year of fundraising and support from the community has been incredible. We couldn't be more excited to host the U.S. Ski Team.” Olympic bronze medalist and Lake Placid native Andrew Weibrecht, pictured above, met with loThe mountain was kept open later than cal children at an event March 19 aimed at raising funds for the “Lift mount Pisgah” project, part usual this year in order to host the event. of an effort to replace the mountain’s 70-year old T-bar.

Essex Ferry back in service By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ESSEX — Those wanting to cross Lake Champlain at a more central location will now be able to do so. Lake Champlain Transportation, the company that operates most of the lake’s ferry service, has announced the re-opening of the Essex-Charlotte ferry crossing, effective March 22. The crossing, which has traditionally run year-round, was closed Feb. 2 after its winter-worthy ferries were diverted to the Plattsburgh-Grand Isle crossing and the new 24-hour, state-subsidized crossing at the former site of the now demolished Crown Point Bridge. Ferry service will run between Essex, N.Y, and Charlotte, Vt., Monday through Friday from March 22 until April 2. Beginning April 5, The Essex-Charlotte crossing will expand to a seven-day-a-week schedule. The Adirondack, one of the fleet’s oldest ferries, built in 1913, will be the lone vessel at the crossing for the time being. It has a 20-ton weight limit and 11-foot-4-inch

Essex County GOP backs Patrick Ziegler By Chris Morris
Stec ditches bid for Congress seat QUEENSBURY — Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec announced Monday he was ending his campaign for the Republican Party nomination for a seat in U.S. Congress. “I dropped out because of a lack of support — I’m not exactly a household name,” he said. “I’m a little disappointed — but nothing ventured, nothing gained.” For weeks, Stec had been making the rounds among county Republican committees in the 20th Congressional District to promote his candidacy, but to date he hadn’t received any endorsements. About two weeks ago, his own Warren County committee voted to choose Tea Party activist Patrick Ziegler of Burnt Hills over Stec for their endorsed candidate. Ziegler and retired Army colonel Chris Gibson of Kinderhook are the only two candidates now actively seeking the G.O.P. endorsement. Stec said Monday both were solid choices. “Both these candidates are capable and qualified,” he said. “I’m fine with either one.” David Harper of Saratoga Springs, a former assistant district attorney, dropped out of the race last week.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County Republicans have endorsed businessman and Tea Party activist Patrick Ziegler to challenge Democratic Congressman Scott Murphy in the November race for New York’s 20th District. But Ziegler ’s bid could already be in jeopardy, as his opponent for the GOP line, Chris Gibson, has garnered support from much larger counties. Committee Chairman Ron Jackson preferred Ziegler to Gibson. He said Ziegler ’s enthusiasm for policy played heavily in the committee’s endorsement. “He’s a very enthusiastic speaker and hardworking. He has obviously spent a lot of time researching,” Jackson said. “Both Gibson and Ziegler had the crowed very enthusiastic in their support.” Essex is the second of 10 counties in the

20th District where Ziegler has bested his opposition, winning Warren County over hometown supervisor Dan Stec last week. County Republicans from Saratoga and Rensselaer threw their support behind Gibson. Saratoga County holds 33 percent of the district’s total weighted vote, while Essex only wields 2 percent and Warren about 10 percent. “Saratoga County is really the gorilla in the room,” Jackson said. “If Gibson pulls Columbia, that will about wrap it up.” Gibson, a retired Army Colonel, is also considered a favorite among Republicans in the district’s other power-center, Columbia County. The Republican county chairs from the 20th District will convene March 31 at the Desmond Hotel to endorse a region-wide candidate. Party officials said a primary is not anticipated, but not out of the question, either.

Let kids be bored sometimes G
Thank you for the fine programming To the editor: Mountain Lake Services held “Respecting Differences: An Evening for Children” at the Paine Memorial Library in Willsboro on Wednesday, March 10, 2010. This event is one of six events being held throughout Essex County in celebration of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month and Mountain Lake Services 35th Anniversary Year. Mountain Lake Services would like to thank: Cheryl Blanchard and the library staff for their assistance with this event, the Willsboro Country Store for their donations, and “Speedy Arnold” for providing musical entertainment throughout the evening. This year, the event brought over 100 community members together for an evening of fun activities. We would like to thank those who came to this event as your support is necessary to make it successful! Melissa Newell Community & Staff Relations Manager Mountain Lake Services
rowing up, I quickly learned that if I voiced objection to my transient periods of boredom to my parents, they would gleefully provide me with the antidote. I was handed a shovel, a paint brush, a rake or a variety of sure fire boredom busters. In today’s highly structured and adult supervised world, I wonder if kids get bored anymore. Today, many kids are managing schedules that would challenge an IBM executive. Additionally, it seems that many adults are engaged in an exhaustive pursuit of entertaining young people. For the most part, weekends used to belong to you for work, friends or for family outings. Today, even weekends are occupied with a variety of activities, many that do not allow for family time or down time. Many kids feel pressured not to go on family outings or vacations because of their various involvements. So what may be lost if a child never gets the chance to be bored and the majority of their activities are closely monitored by one adult or another? I would argue that boredom provides for periods of interior exploration, daydreaming and wonder. Most kids that I knew had chores at home and many also worked outside the home for someone else. If you didn’t, you had no money. On those occasional lazy days when I wasn’t working or I didn’t hook up with a friend, I would explore the river. Walking over slippery, moss covered rocks followed by falling into drop offs that would dip you into water over your head. I often found unusual rocks or rusty pieces of

With winter coming to a close amid a string of warm temperatures, conditions that precluded use of the ferry have all but gone. “We don’t have to worry if the boiler that heats the engine room breaks down, causing pipes to freeze and doing a lot of damage,” Stewart explained. The Essex-Charlotte ferry had been temporarily subsidized prior to its closing, allowing passengers to cross for free. That will not be the case when it re-opens. “It is a paid ferry, though people can use commuter tickets,” said Stewart. “It’s basically back to normal.” “The rates are the same as they were in 2009 and the same as they were in 2008,” she added. The Gov. George D. Aiken, a ferry that has long operated at the Essex-Charlotte crossing, is currently undergoing an engine refit, and should return there around May 24, restoring two-boat service. In addition, the Port Kent-Burlington crossing is scheduled to re-open for the season June 17. Stewart said 24-hour service will continue at both the Plattsburgh-Grand Isle and Crown point crossings.

received lots of feedback from readers concerned about advice I passed on: to maximize savings by purchasing as many sale items as possible with your coupons. Here’s one letter: “In reading your column, I’m concerned that you may be encouraging people to take more than their share. Countless times I’ve gone to buy a product with a coupon and had to get a rain check. Meanwhile, I have witnessed people buying cases upon cases of the same product. I know people may feel they are just out for themselves and their families, but how greedy can you get?” It’s true that when we buy on a price-based basis versus a needs-based basis, the items that are on the best sales at the store deplete quickly. So what’s a shopper to do? This reader is definitely on the right track by getting a rain check. While it may be a minor inconvenience to have to get a rain check when the store is out of a particular sale item, it can also work to our advantage as shoppers. Most rain checks are good for thirty days. That’s a nice, long time to check back at the store, at your convenience, and pick up sale items when they’re back in stock. You can even use rain checks to “extend the sale” for yourself! During a great sale on dog food, our store was having trouble keeping bags in stock. I bought the last three bags that were on the shelf - and of course, I used my coupons on them. Then, I asked for a rain check for six more bags. Over the next few days, I got in touch with friends and family who also save their coupons, but don’t own dogs. I asked them if I could have their dog food coupons. A week later, I went back to the store and picked up more with the coupons I’d just acquired. The shelves were full again and I was still able to enjoy the sale price because of the rain check. With regard to this reader’s comment that he’s seen people buying up every single item in stock during a sale, I do sympathize. I’ve never been a “shelf-clearer,” nor do I advocate being one. I’m certainly aware that at times, if something’s a fantastic deal, it’s tempting to buy every one of them in sight! And I know there are two schools of thought when it comes to great sales. Either you feel you’re “first come, first served” and are entitled to buy whatever you want, or you will buy in moderation and leave

some behind for others. I’ve found that a third option works well, too: special orders. Most major grocery stores (drugstores too) order and receive stock every single day. If there’s something I want to buy in a larger quantity that might affect how many of a certain item is on the shelves for everyone else, I’ll go to the store’s service counter and order it. This has two benefits. I’m not clearing the shelf of a product By Jill Cataldo and potentially leaving others frustrated. And I also know that the next day, I will get a phone call letting me know that my items are in. I can go to the counter, pick up exactly what I need and I won’t have to make extra, unnecessary trips to the store to see if my products may finally be back in stock. Remember, stores want our business. It’s usually not a problem at all to special-order products. Most stores are very happy to accommodate their customers. During a recent sale on bottled water at a local grocery store, so many people in our town were special-ordering water that the service counter at the store had pyramids of water cases sitting behind it, each with a note stuck to the top with the name of the customer who had ordered it! This is a win-win for the store and the customer. The store knows it has a guaranteed sale to the customer who has ordered the product and the customer is happy too, knowing that they will take home exactly the quantity and products that they’d like. Don’t be afraid to try!

old cars or machinery. I dragged home an impressive pile of metal one summer. Sometimes I would encounter a fisherman with four or five nice bookies’ off his fish tender or a young couple kissing or some older guys in from the hayfield, covered with hay chaff and sunburned skin. One summer, my brother and I found an old truck, half in the water and half By Scot Hurlburt out. We removed the gas tank to use it for a float. In the process of turning it up, coins fell out. We spent hours hitting that tank and breaking loose enough coins to buy new fishing gear, two transistor radios and an entire summer of all the Pepsi we wanted. Over the years, we still wonder how the coins got into the tank, an eternal mystery. These essential and memorable experiences in the natural world might not have happened without a little boredom to elicit our actions. Remember, all kids count.
Major cuts to health care and New York’s prison system have dominated the headlines in the North Country since the January release of Governor David Paterson’s 2010-11 Executive Budget. But one area official says cuts to tourism and marketing programs should not be overshadowed by setbacks elsewhere. Ron Ofner is executive director of the Adirondack Regional Tourism Council. He said Paterson’s budget eliminates the “I Love New York” Tourism Matching Funds program, which provided Adirondack counties with close to $480,000 in 2009. And although the cuts to tourism programs don’t amount to much, Ofner says the impact those programs have is immeasurable. “We’re looking at $1.2 billion in visitor spending,” he said. “We’re looking at close to $150 million in local and state sales tax revenue as a result of that visitor spending.” He said cutting programs aimed at
bolstering tourism – especially when the return is so high – is dangerous fiscal policy in a time when the state is staring down a massive deficit. According to data provided by Ofner ’s office, tourism jobs account for up to 40 percent of employment in some Adirondack communities. “And we’re also looking at tourism employment in the Adirondack region of over 20,000 jobs,” he said. “That’s from the census, and that’s looking at jobs, what they consider the tourism industry. So it’s obviously lodging and campgrounds, restaurants. I believe they even include gas stations in that mix.” And it’s not just employment the tourism industry provides. Ofner points to statistics compiled by the SUNY Plattsburgh Technical Assistance Center that shows every dollar spent on marketing results in 86 dollars spent by tourists. In 2008, visitors to the Adirondacks spent $1.2 billion. That, Ofner says, generated $152 million in state and local sales tax revenue. Also on the chopping block is the Beekmantown Welcome Center. Ofner
says the center plays an important role in promoting the park, especially with first-time visitors from Canada. “What we’re finding is that the majority of visitors coming down from Canada are first-time visitors,” he said. “A lot of people are just popping down for the day, y’know, looking for things to do. They stop in our area and that’s where they learn about the Plattsburgh Beach and the shopping opportunities in Plattsburgh or what’s available in the Lake George or Lake Placid area.” He adds that closing the center would take away opportunities for the tourism council when it comes to attracting potential visitors. “Without that center being open, people will simply continue on south to their southerly destinations and not get an opportunity to experience what we have to offer in the beautiful Adirondacks,” Ofner said. Ofner says lawmakers should consider restoring funds for tourism marketing. “It’s a small investment,” he said. “It has a big pay off for local and state economies.”

Calling all Cooks – Maple Workshop slated at Wild Center TUPPER LAKE — How can the ecology of the Adirondacks Dessert Contest set for April 17 better inform the ways we grow food and make our homes ELIZABETHTOWN--The days are warming, the nights are cool and the sap is flowing. Maple syrup is the first agricultural product of the year in the North Country and so it’s time to think about sweet maple desserts. The Adirondack History Center Museum will hold its Maple Sugar Festival on Saturday April 17 from 9 am – 1 pm. Part of the Festival includes a Maple Dessert Contest for kids, youth and adults. Entries will be judged by a panel of five locals with expertise in the production and consumption of fine foods. Entries must be made with real maple syrup, preferably New York made. Grade B Amber is suggested for its great maple flavor. Entries will be judged on taste, texture, quality, presentation and serve-ability. The winning creation will be featured for a week at the Deer ’s Head Inn. So dust off your grandmother ’s recipe or create a new sweet treat. Think bars, cakes, crepes, crisps, custards, fools, parfaits, pies, tarts and more. Simple or elegant, this is the time of year for maple. To enter, bring your creation to the Adirondack History Center Museum – top of the hill – in Elizabethtown – by 11 AM on Saturday the 17th. Volunteers will fill out your entry form and judging will start at noon. If refrigeration is necessary, please bring the entry in a cooler. For more information, call the Adirondack History Center Museum at 873-6466 or email echs@adkhistorycenter.org. The museum is located at 7590 Court Street, Elizabethtown, NY 12932.

here? On Saturday, May 8 from 10 am until 5 pm, join professional ecological designer and educator Keith Morris for a day-long exploration of the potential for permaculture design to contribute to ecological regeneration and greater food security in the Adirondack region. We'll introduce a process for analysis and assessment of sites, and provide guidance for good ecological design practice that can be directly applied to your home, farm, or lawn. Learn how to consciously apply the principles of ecology to the design of gardens that mimic forest ecosystem structure and function but grow food, fuel, fiber, fodder, fertilizer, 'farmaceuticals', and fun! The afternoon will be spent in a hands-on application of forest gardening technique with fruits, nuts, berries, and other under-acknowledged multipurpose plants suitable to the northern Adirondacks as we plan and plant the next phases of a demonstration garden on Paul Smith's campus. The program will be at Paul Smith's College. The cost for the program is $25. Lunch is not included, but can be purchased at campus dining on the day. You should bring a notebook, gloves and a bag lunch, if you don't wish to purchase one on campus. Registration is required. The deadline for registration is April 24. Please contact Tom Huber, Director - TRiO Student Support, thuber@paulsmiths.edu or call (518) 327-6330.

Many of the athletes were comfortable in traditional North Country attire, including checked flannel shirts and blue jeans, wowing onlookers as they swished through the soft snow and soared over ski jumps. Most of the children who attended the event were from the area, but there were also visitors from scattered locations in other parts of the state. Klem Hallagan, a 12-yearold skier from Rochester, said he planned to emulate the members of the U.S. Ski Team. “I want to be a racer,” he said. “I want to be just like them.” After skiing with the athletes, Hallagan and the other children crowded into the ski-lodge to get Autographs on their cloths, helmets and other gear. Olympic medalist and Lake Placid native Andrew Weibrecht was unable to ski because of a shoulder injury, but that didn’t prevent him from showing up at the event to sign dozens of autographs. A few children even got a chance to hold his bronze medal. Other U.S. Ski Team athletes at the event included twotime Olympian Jimmy Cochran of Keene, N.H., four-time Olympian Sarah Schleper of Vail, Colo., Will Brandenburg of Spokane, Wash, Keely Kelleher of Big Sky Mont, Kaylin Richardson of Edina, Minn and Alice McKennis of Glenwood Springs, Colo. “It’s amazing that this region has so many athletes,” said Olson, “and now that some of them are here at this little mountain, it’s just inspiring. We’re especially excited because Ted won the World Cup.”

Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation for the continued operation of numerous parks and historic sites slated for closure. The senate budget rejects most of the governor ’s proposed fee and tax hikes, including $465 million in estimated revenues from a tax on sugary drinks and $210 million in additional cigarette taxes. But it preserves $1.4 billion in school aid and $1 billion in health care cuts in Paterson’s original budget. On Monday, Senators voted 32 to 29 along party lines to move the preliminary 2010-2011 Legislative Budget into conference committee negotiations. By state law, the final budget is to be adopted by April 1. 21816TL

portunity to receive agricultural land value assessment and the related tax break.” Landowners Large & Small Collaborating with Regional Maple Producers Farrell reports that Rayonier, a Jacksonville, FL, company that sustainably manages timber and produces specialty cellulose fibers, is exploring partnerships to lease some of its land in New York’s Adirondacks region to regional maple producers. Jon Spink, Rayonier ’s northeast resource unit leader, says, “We see promising opportunities to work with regional producers to make good use of the maple trees on Rayonier land in Northern New York. To that end, we are opening discussions with potential maple production partners.”
Farrell says a number of smaller landowners and maple producers elsewhere in the region have reached partnership agreements. New Online Evaluation Tool Helps Maple Tree Owners Evaluate Best Use Farrell is continuing his “Get Involved with Maple” campaign in NNY and, with funding from the New York Farm Viability Institute, is expanding the effort statewide. He has also developed a Net Present Value calculator tool that allows landowners to evaluate the option to lease trees for syrup production vs. managing their trees for sawtimber production. This tool is found online at http://www.nnyagdev.org/_ maple.htm. The results of Farrell’s survey of maple producers and

LAKE PLACID — Northern NY Maple Specialist Mike Farrell says his goal with the “Get Involved with Maple” campaign is to enhance the mapleproducing capacity of New York’s six northernmost counties to achieve the full, environmentally-friendly economic potential of the region as a syrup maker. That potential, in time, could be more than $9 million per year. Farrell, who is director of the Cornell University Uihlein Maple Forest & Extension Center at Lake Placid, has cowritten “Increasing NNY Maple Production through Effective Producer/Landowner Collaborations” with Cornell Professor Brian F. Chabot. The report was made possible by funding from the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program that has also supported research and demonstration projects to help Northern New York’s maple producers improve the quality and productivity of their sugar maple forests. “Maple producers are interested to expand their production in order to fill the growing markets and there is a vast untapped resource of untapped trees in Northern New York. Most producers have tapped all of the trees they own,” Farrell says. Farrell surveyed Northern New York landowners to identify opportunities for producers to lease trees, to buy sap from landowners who tap their own trees and for landowners to sell sap or process the sap from their trees into syrup. That syrup could be sold bulk to bottlers or processors or the landowners could make value-added products themselves. “Leasing and cooperative business arrangements are often the most practical and economical solution. Existing maple producers already have made the capital investment in facilities and equipment needed to produce high-quality syrup in a cost-effective manner,” Farrell says. “An advantage for landowners is the op-

Will ice out be early this year? A
pril 1 may mark the official opening of trout season in these parts, but any wily veteran will tell you your chances of actually getting out on a pond that early are about as good as Tiger Woods staying monogamous. Well, alas, this year I truly believe will be different — but perhaps not as different as you might think. I took a stroll last weekend into a couple of my favorite ponds in the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness Area and found they looked like this (yes, that’s solid ice covering the pond from shore to shore):

Aside from an opening at the outlet and signs of decay around boulders which got warmed by the mid-day sun, this particular pond looked nearly identical last year at this time. I know, I was there. And it wasn’t fishable until April 15. One of the most useful tools in my brook trout fishing arsenal has been a log my brother and I keep that details information like when ice out occurs on a particular pond, as well as when fish seem to hit best and on what. What I’ve found is that ice out rarely varies much from one year to the next — at least not wildly. Certainly the ice covering may be gone a week early this year (at least if this recent cold snap breaks) but I doubt it will be any earlier than that. I plan to head back in again this weekend and will keep you apprised of what I find. I can guarantee you that if there is fishable water on April 1, I’ll be taking advantage of it. I’ve already cleaned every reel to a spit shine and replaced my line three times. I’m like a kid at Christmas this time of year. The warmer-than-usual month of March may speed up the DEC’s stocking efforts as well, especially in local rivers and streams that are often more accessible than backcountry ponds. The Boquet River, for example, is infused with 5,220, 8-9 inch brookies in the spring right here in E-town along with hundreds of browns, and the AuSable gets loaded with thousands of browns, brookies and rainbows in Keene and Jay. For a complete list of waters to be stocked by the state this spring, visit http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/30465.html. Once there, you can click on the appropriate county of interest.
