Tri-Lakes housing Festival brings Ireland to Adirondacks study progressing

By Matt Bosley

matt@denpubs.com

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — Officials are busy narrowing down the list of possible consultants to perform a grant-funded housing study for the TriLakes.

Lake Placid Village Trustee Jason Leon said the study is being funded by a $25,000 grant from the state Division of Housing and Community Renewal.

The grant requires a 40 percent local match.

The villages of Lake Placid, Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake as well as the town of Harrietstown all chipped in to fulfill the matching requirement. Saranac Lake Community Development Director Jeremy Evans wrote the grant application and sits on the housing study committee with Leon.

Joining the two on the committee are Emily Kilbourne from the Housing Assistance Program of Essex County and Mike Conway from the Adirondack Economic Development Committee.

Leon noted that each community in the TriLakes has its own specific set of needs, but affordable housing may be one of the most prevalent problems that each municipality shares.

“The benefit of the study is that it has several municipalities in it,” he said. “It’s not a village of Lake Placid focus, or a village of Saranac Lake focus. It’s looking at the Tri-Lakes area.

How can we as a regional community, a TriLakes community, come to some sort of solution that would alleviate some of our problems?”

The study aims to establish baseline data on the kinds of housing available in the Tri-Lakes.

Leon said the study will also reveal the level of need for affordable housing among residents.

Information about the area’s demographics will also be included.

Leon said one of the main goals is to explore village and town-owned land and determine where development of affordable housing is feasible.

“Once the study is finished we don’t want to just file it away,” Leon said. “It needs to be implemented and we need to tackle affordable housing aggressively.”

Lake Placid Village Mayor Craig Randall agreed.

“The livelihood of this region can’t just depend on tourism,” he said. “We need to find a feasible way for our residents to stay here and thrive here.”

And that’s what Leon hopes the study will address. He said the cost of housing is no longer crippling just for lower-income workers.

“You’re starting to see young professionals and doctors leave the area because they can’t afford to stay here,” he said.

“It’s just one part of the problem,” Leon said.

“But how can we find affordable housing for the full-time residents here, providing opportunities not just for the people who enjoy the Adirondacks to come live here, but providing opportunities for individuals who went away to school and came back, or people who already live here and are blue collar or middle class and have an opportunity to live here too."

“We’re trying to provide an opportunity for multi-generational natives to actually stay here before an ultimate displacement occurs,” he added.

There’s no word yet if the committee has selected a consulting firm to perform the study.

LAKE PLACID — Visitors to Lake Placid had a chance to relish in their Irish heritage last weekend as they attended the second annual Festival of Ireland.

Held at ORDA’s Olympic Ski Jumping Complex, the Sept. 5 and 6 event drew hundreds from across the Adirondacks and beyond, reaffirming it as a late-summer mainstay in the Adirondacks.

“We just felt that there was some (Irish) culture that needed to be brought to the area,” said Shane O’Neil, who, together with fellow Irishman JohnJoe Reilly, organized the event both this year and last.

The two day festival featured a wide variety of Irish-themed music and arts.

Among the many performers were the Celtic Grace Irish Dancers, Irish storyteller Deidre McCarthy and Adirondack Harper Martha Gallagher.

Among the event’s activities were tugo’-war games, Guiness keg lifts, and hay bale throwing. Several artisans and vendors were on hand, selling food and crafts that celebrated the rich culture of Ireland; one O’Neil and Reilly hope to preserve for future generations.

Their band, Aiseiri (pronounced “Asheye-ree”), gets its name from the old Irish word for “revival,” denoting their goal to revive the ancient culture. Aiseiri plays traditional Irish music around the Tri-Lakes region throughout the year, but the pair decided to start their own production company just to put the Festival of Ireland on in Lake Placid.

Prior to the 2008 festival, the nearest comparable event took place in Albany.

Now, said Reilly, people need not travel as far to celebrate their Irish heritage.

“I think this year, the outpouring of support has been great,” said Reilly, optimistic that the festival will continue to expand. “Hopefully as the years go by, we’ll turn it into a hugely successful event.”

Feature film to be shot in Tupper Lake

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — One local town could garner international attention as it serves as the stage for a mainstream movie.

“Recreator,” a full-length feature film with plans for a worldwide release will be primarily filmed in Tupper Lake this fall, and local leaders are welcoming the venture with open arms.

Gregory Orr, the film’s writer, director and producer, has over two decades of experience in the film industry, most notably as a cinematographer on James Cameron’s Oscarwinning 1989 film “The Abyss.”

Since then, he has produced a handful of documentaries that have appeared on national television as well as a successful

short fiction film.

“I’ve been waiting to make a feature film for a number of years, and I wrote a number of scripts,” said Orr, “but it’s “Recreator” that has received the greatest interest from financiers and other movie makers.”

Orr, who resides in New York City, first visited the Adirondacks when he stayed at Rainbow Lake last year. When time came to decide on a location to shoot his latest film, the TriLakes region came to mind.

“In my research, I found both the lake and the camp we’re planning to use as having a great combination of scenic beauty and practical access so important to a film production,” said Orr. “There’s also cell service in the area, which is a real boon.”

Filming for “Recreator” will take place in Tupper Lake for

five weeks, beginning in October. Negotiations are still ongoing for some specific locations, but Orr said the production will be visible in town for at least one day.

“Everyone has been both hospitable and helpful in trying to make our visit work,” said Orr. “I’m delighted with the mayor, the supervisor and the many local business people who have tried to accommodate our many needs.”

“Recreator” tells the story of three teenagers on a camping trip who stumble on the abandoned secret laboratory of a mysterious scientist. It is there that they accidently trigger an experiment that creates duplicates of each of them. The clones have enhanced physical abilities and seek to trap the teens, who must outsmart the clones to avoid being replaced.

Gregory Orr is the writer, director, and producer of “Recreator,” a full-length feature film that he plans to film primarily in Tupper Lake beginning in October.

Orr said the film is a sci-fi thriller in the tradition of the

Pediatrician appeals malpractice verdict attorneys, it’s stated that the jury found Monroe and Adirondack Internal were “negligent in their care and treatment of the children when they failed to take the proper measures to investigate a situation which would have prevented the girls from being sexually assaulted by their half brother.”

The case dates back to August 15, 2000 when one of the sisters wrote in her diary that her then 14-year-old half-brother was touching her inappropriately.

The mother then obtained counseling for her children and separated the girls from their half-brother. She then called Dr. Monroe and informed her of the abuse.

Butler said she believes both Monroe and the mother didn’t know what was happening.

The mother – who lives in Lake George – told the PostStar newspaper that she expected Dr. Monroe would address the allegations.

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — The lawyer for a local pediatrician will appeal a malpractice verdict against her client.

Karen Butler represents Dr. Patricia Monroe of Adirondack Internal Medicine and Pediatrics in Saranac Lake. She’s asking U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence Kahn to overturn an award of $11 million to a pair of former Lake Placid teenagers.

Last week, an eight-member federal jury determined that Monroe failed to act appropriately in preventing repeated sexual assault against the victims nine years ago.

The now 18-year-old sister will receive $6 million, and the 16-year-old will get $5 million. The sisters were represented by Albany attorneys Pamela Nichols and Stephen Coffey.

In a release issued by the

“I didn't know what to do about it,” she said.

Butler said the case is a prime example of why the state needs to reform medical malpractice laws and state laws regarding teenage sex abusers.

“Unless they do something about tort reform in New York, they’re going to force all of the doctors and pediatricians out of state,” she told the Post-Star.

When the mother finally brought the older daughter to the doctor ’s office, it was about a month later – and the abuse was not discussed then.

Butler said the conversation didn’t take place because Dr. Monroe wanted to discuss it in the proper setting. And the doctor ’s hands were tied, because the girl didn’t discuss the allegation of abuse. Child Protective Services in New York only takes calls involving adulton-child crimes.

In February 2001, police were contacted and the half-

brother was taken into custody. That’s when one of the sisters revealed all of the details surrounding the alleged abuse.

The teenage suspect was tried in Family Court and was sentenced to one and a half years at a juvenile detention center.

An original claim was dismissed in November 2008.

Coffey argued that Dr. Monroe and the practice failed to act according to New York State’s mandatory reporter law. At the time, the court said the incident was only reportable if Dr. Monroe thought the mother was unable to protect the children herself.

But an appeals court later claimed that Dr. Monroe did not act in accordance with her responsibility to assure the children were safe from abuse.

Butler said she is also preparing an appeal to be filed with the U.S. Second Court of Appeals in New York City.

Couponing's Best-Kept Secrets: In 'BOGO' We Trust

W

D

riving a car is one of the first milestones that is reached on the road to adulthood. The freedom feels good. Cranking up the radio, rolling down the windows and driving too fast

By Scot Hurlburt is something that most of us experienced as new drivers.

Americans love affair with the automobile has come at a fatal cost, however. In 1899, 26 people died from automobile accidents. In 1972, deaths from automobile accidents hit an all time high of 54,589. In 2006 41,648 died in car crashes. In 2008, the National Safety Council announced that the death rate from motor vehicles hit its lowest rate since records have been kept in the 1920’s. Even though teens drive less than all other age groups other than the oldest drivers, they have high rates of fatal and non-fatal crash rates. They are four times more likely to crash than drivers twenty years of age or older. In fact, 33 percent of all teen deaths between 13-19 years of age are due to automobile crashes. Some states are considering graduated licenses in an effort to reduce teenage automobile accidents.

According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, the number of drinking drivers with BACs at or above the current legal limit has declined dramatically. One measure examined drinking behaviors on weekend nights, a time frame where drinking and driving is often happening. This measure revealed that in 1973, 7.5 percent of drivers had BACs at or above 0.08. In 2007, the rate for the same measure had fallen by 71 percent to 2.2 percent of drivers at or above the legal limit of 0.08.

Another important finding of the study was that the percentage of drinking drivers that included any positive BAC had also declined dramatically. Males were nearly twice as likely to drive while impaired as female drivers. The rate of impaired rivers was nearly five times as high during late nighttime; 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. Motorcycle riders were nearly twice as likely to be impaired, at 5.6 percent as passenger car drivers at 2.3 percent. Pickup truck drivers were the second most likely vehicle type to have an impaired driver at 3.3 percent. The rate of underage drinkers, 16 to 21 years of age, in fatal crashes with a BAC of 0.08 or higher decreased dramatically from 47.7 percent in 1973 to 23.1 percent in 1996. The period between 1997 and 2007 saw a slight increase in the rate from 23.1 to 24.1 percent.

While younger drivers are less likely to drive after drinking, they had many more crashes when they did drink. Driver inexperience has been cited as the reason for the higher crash rates while drinking and driving. Teenagers are more likely to use cell phones while driving and cell phone use has been identified as a risk factor. Cell phone users are four times more likely to be in a serious accident. Drivers that use cell phones are more likely to crash than drunk drivers. When excessive speed, poor road conditions or an older car in disrepair is added to the equation, the risk index becomes dangerously high.

While some accidents are unavoidable, those that can be prevented, such as accidents caused by excessive speeding, alcohol use, and driver distractions such as cell phone use or texting need our continued attention. If you have a young driver in your house they are at an elevated risk level, especially sixteen year old drivers. Providing a high level of supervision during this time may be more important than ever before. Remember, all kids count.

hen I teach coupon classes, one of the audience's favorite lessons are what I call the "best-kept secrets" of couponing. These are the secrets that help push your savings potential to the maximum! Today I'll share with you one of the best and most exciting ways to get groceries and other products for free. (And isn't that what we all want? Who doesn't love free stuff?)

Secret #1: Coupons for "One Free Item" You may be surprised how many coupons for free products exist! You can regularly find coupons for free items in newspaper inserts, on the Internet or even in the stores you regularly shop. These are some of the easiest and most fun coupons to use! Recently, our newspaper inserts had coupons for one free loaf of a brand-name bread, a free single-serving beverage and a free air freshener. There's nothing better than getting something for free with little or no effort.

Or is there? You may be surprised to learn that running right to the store with a coupon for a free item isn't necessarily the best way to use these types of coupons. When I get one of these coupons I file it away and then I watch the sales. If my store features this item in a "Buy One, Get One Free" (BOGO) sale, that's when I redeem the coupon for the free item... because I will then get two of that item for free instead of one!

Why does this work? I'll give you an example. I have a coupon for a free bag of frozen vegetables. The coupon states that it has a value of up to $1.99, which is what the store will receive when they redeem the coupon. That's also the normal price of the vegetables. But when the store puts the vegetables on sale BOGO, they're selling two bags for $1.99. If I walk in and buy two bags and pay cash, I'll pay $1.99 and get two, right?

The same thing happens when I use my coupon for one free bag of vegetables. The coupon covers the $1.99 cost of the first bag, and the second bag is free.

This is all part of playing the coupon game. Getting one item for free is good, but getting two items for free is even better!

Now, if my coupon gets close to the expiration date, of course I will redeem it and get my free

By Jill Cataldo product. But it often pays to play the waiting game, as the BOGO sales will play out in your favor more often than not.

Over the course of the past few months, I kept track of the coupons for free items that I accumulated: 38 in all. I held all of them and watched closely, matching them to BOGO sales over that time period. During that time frame, 31 of the items went on sale BOGO. By playing the waiting game, I was able to get 62 free items with those 31 coupons! And with the remaining seven coupons, of course, I still got those seven items for free, too.

This truly is the best way to use coupons for one free item.

You're getting two... for the price of none! Next week I'll share another best-kept coupon secret with you.

Adventures in Nowheresville couple of Decembers ago, while driving from the vast Midwestern metropolis where I attended graduate school to Saranac Lake for the Christmas holidays, my friend, (and fellow Saranac Laker) Dave, and I stopped at a gas station-slash-internationally beloved sandwich shop in Nowheresville, PA. The plan was simply to refuel the vehicle (with gasoline) and our stomachs (with internationally beloved sandwiches) – but, as often happens in Pennsylvania, we got much more than what we bargained for.

The pit stop began mundanely enough. While I pumped the gas, Dave headed inside to secure a spot in the sandwich line.

After topping the tank off – in thrilling defiance of the tiny instructions on the back of the nozzle – I followed him.

Immediately, I saw two college-aged guys in scarlet-andbrown wind suits perusing the candy selection by the cash register. I recognized those wind suits. The colors, the patterns, the letters reading “St. Lawrence University Hockey” – those wind suits could only belong to St. Lawrence University hockey players.

Spotting St. Lawrence hockey players in Nowheresville, PA would be weird enough on its own, but as a St. Lawrence alumnus, I felt like I was either dreaming or getting “Punk’d” by celebrity moron Ashton Kutcher. I entered the sub shop section of the store in a daze and got in line behind Dave.

Looking around, I saw that St. Lawrence hockey players occupied three or four tables. I tapped Dave on the shoulder.

"The St. Lawrence hockey team is in here," I said.

"What?" Dave asked.

"The St. Lawrence University hockey team. They're here, in this building, right now."

"You sure?"

"Yes." I swept my hand across the room. "That's them taking up all the tables."

Then it dawned on me that St. Lawrence was playing against my vast Midwestern university, in my vast Midwestern metropolis, that weekend. I remembered hearing about the game months earlier and realizing it fell during Christmas break. The coincidence was so striking that I felt almost obligated to point it out to the hockey players.

But feeling “almost obligated” is more or less the same as not feeling obligated at all, so I didn’t point it out. The problem was that I saw no way of explaining my presence in that particular gas station-slash-internationally beloved sandwich shop in that particular corner of Nowheresville, PA without

looking like either a liar or a St. Lawrence-obsessed weirdo who got his jollies stalking the school’s sports teams around the country.

I did, however, imagine how I might point the coincidence out. I would hop onto a table in the middle of that crowded sub shop and yell for everyone to listen up. "You

By Dan Leonidas gents might not recognize me," I'd say in a booming voice, smirking like the self-satisfied son of a gun I was, "but I'm a SLU alum – class of '05, to be exact – and I couldn't help but noticing that you all are, collectively speaking, the SLU hockey team. Am I right?"

They'd exchange baffled, shocked glances, but before any of them could speak, I'd continue. "Furthermore," I'd say, pounding a fist into an open palm, "I happen to know you're on your way to Midland City, Ohio, to play The Midland State University. Well, get this: I'm a graduate student at that very school.

What do you say to that?"

They'd exchange baffled, shocked glances again. One or two of them would look toward the door, calculating their chances of getting outside before I could draw and fire the concealed handgun they imagined I must be carrying.

But then the coach – sitting at a table in the far corner – would begin a slow clap. He'd rise to his feet, and his players, nodding and smiling now, would follow his lead. They'd converge on the table where I stood, hoist me upon their shoulders, and carry me outside, chanting "This guy's cool! This guy’s cool!" as they marched around the parking lot.

After the players set me down, the coach would present me with a plaque proclaiming me the Official Cool Guy of the St. Lawrence University Athletic Department, and we'd go our separate ways, pleased to have shared such an enriching experience.

No, I thought as I ate my sandwich, that wouldn’t have made me look like a St. Lawrence-obsessed weirdo who got his jollies stalking the school’s sports teams around the country at all.

Help available for veterans

are also “higher incidences of substance abuse, people selfmedicating because they just don’t fit in quite so easily anymore.” Although more soldiers have been lost in combat than any of us would like, an even greater number have died from suicide since 2003.

We need to help our veterans find courage to seek the help they need. Doing so can be seen as a sign of weakness, but it certainly is not! Short- and long-term counseling is available. Some important local numbers include: Veterans Service Agency 773-3401; Hamilton County Community Services 6485355; and North Star Behavioral Health Services at: Indian Lake 648-5355; Speculator 548-3055; Long Lake 624-6183; Saranac Lake 483-8980. A schedule of A.A. and related meetings is available at www.hfmpreventioncouncil.com. The website www.nyshealthfoundation.org addresses the needs of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families, including mental health and substance abuse services.

It’s up to all of us, in military and civilian life, to lend our support and help our returning soldiers avoid becoming victims to the psychological aftermath of war.

A

To the editor, Most of us feel pride in the bravery of our veterans and gratitude for their service on our behalf. Soldiers willingly place themselves in unimaginable circumstances. We show appreciation through banners, parades, and ribbons. But there is something else our heroes need from us.

Before becoming soldiers, they were people, no different from us.

As combat veterans, they have been through a truly life-changing experience. In “Fighting the War Within,” an article from “Therapy Times,” Editor Bob Scott explains: “The rigid combat training that allowed them to survive in the urban war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan has no place in the civilian sector – but that does not mean that training dissipates. Veterans may feel alone without other soldiers, whom they have come to know as family, being nearby.

Many soldiers do not feel comfortable speaking with family and friends about what they have gone through, as they were not there and will simply not understand.”

It is well documented that soldiers are returning with both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Scott says, “Civilian life can easily become a minefield of irrational outbursts and traumatic episodes – for a soldier trained to counter sudden attacks, a mall crowded with people or a cardboard box on the side of the road can trigger the ‘battle-ready’ mindset.” There

Saranac Lake school ready for swine flu

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com

leasing of the Lake Clear Elementary School has been wellpublicized. Adirondack Medical Center will lease the building for about $70,000 per year.

At the high school, crews recently completed paving portions of the parking lot in front of the gym and auditorium.

The project was funded with recently-acquired stimulus monies, and Goldman thanked town highway crews who provided trucks and manpower. The paving machine was provide by Franklin County.

“All we ended up paying for was the blacktop itself,” he said.

Two classrooms at the Bloomingdale Elementary School have been relocated to the school’s auditorium until a botched flooring job can be corrected.

Finally, parents and taxpayers should note that tax bills for the 2009-10 school year have been mailed out. Kilroy noted that he’s fielded questions from taxpayers regarding increased bills.

“We kept the tax levy flat,” he said. “But changes to residents’ assessments and equalization rates can cause the bill to increase.”

SARANAC LAKE — School is back in session and the Saranac Lake Central School District is bracing for what officials are calling an inevitable outbreak of the H1N1 virus, commonly referred to as swine flu.

But district Superintendent Jerry Goldman said his faculty and staff is prepared should the virus sweep through the region, and he’s been communicating regularly with the Franklin County Public Health office.

“There’s a lot of material out there, there’s a lot of information,” he said. “I don’t think any of the protocols that we’re going to be following are going to be that much different. The basic issue is, at what point do you say this is so bad we can’t conduct school? Hopefully we never get to the decision.”

Goldman said his biggest concern is that so many students could become sick that school would have to be closed down. He adds that teachers and parents have plenty of information on how to avoid the spread of illness.

“Washing your hands; there’s hand sanitizers all over the schools,” Goldman said.

“We try to keep the classrooms clean and the desktops disinfected the best we can. Try to make sure that sick students stay home; don’t come to school when you’re sick. There are some basic precautions

that we take – the kind of precautions you would take if you had the flu.”

Parents sending their children back to school should take note that the price of a school lunch is up this year from $2 to $2.25.

According to budget officer Mike Kilroy, the district spends about $50,000 from its general fund each year on school lunches. The rest of the cost for school lunch and breakfast is covered by state and federal aid and the amount raised by sales.

Last year, the district spent $90,000 on lunch. That increase was most likely due to a new, healthier menu. School Board President Debra Lennon said healthy food costs more.

Kilroy said more students used the school’s cafeteria after the switch to healthier foods. More teachers are buying their lunches there, too, and teachers pay $3.50.

Goldman said the increased cost will bring in an extra $28,000 for the district and might encourage more students to take advantage of the free and reduced lunch and breakfast program. He said feeding kids is an educational mission.

pings in nine out of the 12 waters I visited.

Obviously, others are seeing moose as well, a point illustrated by the nearly two dozen state road signs posted across the park.

In places such as Newcomb, Indian Lake, Bloomingdale or Inlet, the sight of a moose is no longer considered an unusual occurrence.

Moose still on the loose!

M

oose, the largest animal species in the park were extirpated for over a century, yet they have always been considered an iconic, ‘landscape species.’

Since the 1970’s, moose have been entering New York state on a continuous basis.

The New York's moose population is now firmly established and large enough to be considered secure.

Moose have become so common that the NYSDEC no longer solicits nor collects reported sightings. Officials explain that the continued collection of this data will no longer contribute in a substantial or cost-effective way.

“People don’t even bother to call them in anymore,” explained Ken Kogut a wildlife biologist with DEC Region 6. “I guess the novelty has worn off.”

Currently, DEC biologists estimate that there are more than 500 moose in the park and that the population is increasing at about the same rate as Vermont's, about 1015 percent per year.

“We believe that moose have become reestablished to a point where a threshold has been reached to enable a breeding population to exist,” explained Ed Reid, a DEC Wildlife Biologist with Region 5.

The Seasons Since the 1990’s, park residents have become increasingly aware of the presence of moose in the park. They’ve found moose scat and tracks, or watched them in the water or along the highways.

Despite an increase in the number of sightings during the fall, moose are still in the process of restablishing a population on the Adirondacks.

Moose scat, which resembles an oversized gum drop in shape, can be found in ponds and lakes stretching from the West Canada Lakes to the St. Regis Area to the Five Ponds Wilderness. The droppings can usually be found along the pond’s bottom in four to six feet of water where moose commonly feast on water plants such as lillypads, arrowheads, cattails or similar tubers.

The droppings are easily recognizable due to their size, quantity and light, tan color which stands out against a pond’s mucky bottom. Last year, over the final weekend of the trout season, I discovered moose drop-

The Animal Moose are primarily active during the morning and evening hours, but they often switch to a nocturnal life during the summer, when insect harassment is at its peak.

Sightings increase as the rut begins in the late summer and continues through the early fall.

During the rutting season, a bull moose covers upwards of 70 miles in a day searching for a mate. Moose travel at about 9 mph, but they can double that speed in a gallop for a short distance. They are also extremely proficient swimmers and have been known to cross Lake Champlain.

The rut begins in August as bulls begin shedding antler velvet. The bellow to produce sounds similar to groans. Similar to whitetail deer rubs, moose also break branches, strip bark, or tangle with bushes.

The bell, a hairy skin flap under the jaw, is their scent distribution organ. It is splashed with urine when bulls dig rutting pits. It serves to attract females, which are greatly attracted to bull moose scent.

From August to mid October, during rut, females come to heat every 18–21 days.

Moose reach sexual maturity at one and a half years, bulls mate from an age of two and a half years.

After one to two days together, a mating pair parts and the bull begins searching for another female.

Observe with a wary eye Moose are unique and exciting animals to observe. They can frequently be found in wetland areas with streams or lakes with nearby poplar, maple or coniferous forests.

While moose have been observed throughout the day, the peak hours of dawn

or dusk are usually best for viewing wildlife.

While moose are fairly tolerant of humans, all wildlife should be viewed and photographed from a safe distance.

People should exercise caution when around these large and powerful animals.

Efforts must be ensured that observation is done carefully. Make no mistake, moose are dangerous animals. Weighing up to 1,500 pounds, standing 6-1/2 feet at the shoulder, with long legs, sharp hooves and impressive antlers; moose will attack a human.

The most dangerous time of the year to meet up with a cow moose is in the spring and early summer when they may have young calves. Use common sense and never walk between a moose and its calf.

When traveling in moose country, dogs should be left home. Moose have an instinctive fear of canines and even a leashed dog may agitate a moose and provoke a charge or an attack.

Males act aggressively, especially during the fall breeding season when they may perceive you as a threat or potential competitor.

Bull moose have been known to tangle with a train locomotive, so a human being presents very little danger.

Signs of moose aggression include the animal walking toward you, laying back its ears, stomping the ground, licking its nose, swinging its head from side to side while the hair on the back of its neck is standing on end.

If a moose is acting aggressive, abnormally or seems disturbed by your presence, back away slowly and leave the area.

If charged, run and try to get a tree, vehicle or other large object between you and the moose. Should you encounter a moose be sure to back off a bit and give it plenty of room. Always back away slowly and calmly.

Remember, dangerous wildlife encounters are nearly always caused by a foolish decision on the part of humans. Use your head, rather than your feet, to avoid a confrontation.

APA: No need for lean-to removal

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — Following a report aired last week on WNBZ radio, the Adirondack Park Agency is clarifying its stance on lean-tos within the Blue Line.

For several years, the state Department of Environmental Conservation has been removing structures in the park that don’t comply with the State Land Master Plan. That includes fire towers, tent platforms, snowmobile trails and some lean-tos.

Some park residents say the structures should be considered historic and left alone, but the DEC, bound by state law, has proceeded with their removal nonetheless.

That removal, though, does not nec-

essarily include lean-tos. The APA’s Keith McKeever said lean-tos in compliance with the State Land Master Plan, commonly referred to as the SLMP, are safe.

“The lean-to is an authentic Adirondack structure,” he said. “In the SLMP, lean-tos are compatible in all land-use classifications. There is a directive that older lean-tos that are very close to waterways, if they’re going to be rehabbed or rebuilt, that you do so by moving them 150 feet from the shoreline.”

McKeever explained that the 150 feet rule for lean-to rehabilitation exists for several reasons.

“We want to make sure people can enjoy the waterways and see a natural shoreline,” he said.

Additionally, McKeever said keeping lean-tos away from the shoreline is a public health precaution.

“You don’t want to have a lot of camping right up on waterways when you don’t have the facilities to deal with sanitary waste and things like that,” he said. “Overall the lean-to is compatible in all the land-use classifications in the park and there’s no intention by the agency and there’s nothing at all in the master plan that says lean-tos need to be removed.”

When the SLMP first implemented, lean-tos were often clustered in tight groups. The master plan does call for three of those clusters to be removed or scattered.

McKeever said putting space between those clusters has been viewed as a good thing.

“We like to have some site separation between the lean-tos so campers aren’t piled up on top of each other,” he said.

Historic society holds annual meeting LAKE PLACID — On Aug. 27, the Lake Placid-North Elba Historical Society held their annual meeting. Peter Roland Jr. was presented with a plaque to commemorate his five years stewardship as president of the society. The new slate of officers is Charles Damp III, president; Peter Roland Jr., vice president; Janet Bliss, secretary; and John Huttlinger, treasurer.

All honored Therese Patnode for her service as she retired from the board and welcomed Chuck Finley elected to fill the vacant spot. Introduced to the board and society members was Pat Kelly, the new administrative director.

Other business was the exceptional progress made this past year in the Cornerstone Projects. The Cornerstone Projects are part of the society’s strategic plan to stabilize, restore and preserve the historic structures and the cataloging of the society’s historical collections. The LPNEHS is grateful for the community support that has been crucial in moving forward with these projects.

Understanding Green Roofs TUPPER LAKE — Join The Wild Center, Tuesday, Sept. 15, from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and learn what it takes to plan, install and maintain a green roof in the northern Adirondack climate. Come join in The Flammer Theater for a session on green roof principles presented by two experts in the field. Dustin Brackney, project manager with Apex Green Roofs, Somerville, Mass., installers of The Wild Center’s 2,500 square foot green roof, and Marguerite Wells, owner of Motherplants, a green roof plant nursery in Ithaca, will share their thoughts, tips and techniques on how to successfully grow plants on a building’s roof in our harsh northern climate.

Roof structure requirements and green roof material components will be discussed, along with considerations for plant variety selection. Learn how a green roof can benefit the environment and your pocketbook by creating a unique wildlife habitat that can reduce building heating and cooling energy cost.

For more information and directions, visit www.wildcenter.org or call 359-7800. This event is free to members or with paid museum admission.

Film From page 1 classic film “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” and the more recent movie, “Disturbia.” Targeted mainly at teens and young people, it will likely end up with a PG13 rating.

“Our film is powered more by suspense than gore,” said Orr, “and features three very likeable lead characters whom you don’t want to see die.”

The films’s producers held auditions in New York City and are in the process of finalizing the cast list. Orr said there will be a few actors with recognizable names and faces as well as some young rising stars.

As is the case with many films during the economic downturn, “Recreator” is modestly budgeted, Orr said. He did not divulge any exact numbers, but de-

scribed the production costs as “about the price of Will Smith’s makeup trailer, plus snacks.”

Still, the shooting of the film should have a positive effect on local business. Orr noted that his 40-person film crew will be staying in local motels and frequenting local restaurants and stores. In addition, they will need to hire a number of construction workers and production assistants locally.

The film is anticipated to release within the next two years. In the meantime, Orr stressed that he and his film crew are happy to be filming in the Adirondacks.

“While we understand the appeal of hosting a movie crew, I hope you can appreciate how wonderful we find the area, especially in the fall,” he said. “It’s a real treat; an escape from downstate that we are all looking forward to.”
