Supporters District Attorney race remains too close to call Unofficial results show laud land Sprague with narrow lead swap approval By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — Supporters of an amendment to the State Constitution legalizing a set of power lines built on State Forest Preserve are celebrating its recent passage. Voters across New York State approved the measure by a margin of 863,898 to 427,043 Nov. 3, much to the delight of Elected representatives and environmental groups, both of whom supported it. The amendment authorizes the transfer of six acres of Forest Preserve along Route 56 in the town of Colton to accommodate a new stretch of power lines to Tupper Lake. National Grid, the company that owns and operates the lines, will give 43 acres of land along the Grasse River in exchange. “I am very thankful for the voter support we received on Election Day for this important constitutional amendment,” said State Sen. Elizabeth Little, who sponsored the initiative and helped guide it through the Senate and Assembly. The Adirondack Council was also a major proponent of the project, educating voters on how construction of the lines across the two-mile stretch amounted to the least environmental impact. “This landslide approval shows that voters took the time to understand the issue and trusted our advice about the environmental benefits,” said Brian Houseal, executive director for the Adirondack Council. “We are gratified and humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response.” The amendment allows National Grid to legally connect Tupper Lake to a back-up power supply. The community had suffered numerous power outages over the past decade because it was at the end of a single power supply line that starts in Malone. Recognizing an immediate need for another line, National Grid, the New York State Power Authority and the state Department of Environmental Conservation signed an agreement authorizing construction in early 2008. “It’s impossible to build a sustainable, modern economy in a village that can’t keep the lights on,” Houseal said, “Dysfunctional villages only encourage more development in the back woods where it doesn’t belong.” Houseal said the Adirondack Council supported the amendment because the alternative was to run the lines on a six-mile detour around the Forest Preserve. “We really didn’t like the detour,” said Houseal, noting how it would have cut through old-growth boreal forest that is known to contain rare plants and wildlife, such as spruce grouse. “We told them, ‘This may sound crazy, but we want you to build this on the Forest Preserve. It will save you money and it will prevent ecological damage by confining the power line to an already-developed area,’” Houseal said. “They looked at us strangely at first, but then agreed.” The majority of the lines run across private property or remain on the state Route 56 highway easement; all except a two-mile stretch between Stark Falls and Sevey Corners. They have been in use since May. With the amendment approved, the state legislature must now pass yet another bill spelling out the specifics of the land swap and completing the transfers. “Passage couldn't come at a better time as winter quickly approaches and demand for power will increase in Tupper Lake and the Tri-Lakes region,” Little said. “This is a smart solution and the result of effective teamwork by the business community, environmental advocates and local and state officials.”
Kristy Sprague By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The race between the candidates for Essex County District Attorney is still too close to call after Election Day. Unofficial results reported after polls closed Nov. 3 show Republican-backed candidate Kristy Sprague with a 75-vote lead over incumbent Julie Garcia in the county-wide race. The margin remained close as individual towns reported their counts throughout the evening. With only Minerva and North Elba left to report, the count showed Garcia with a 110-vote lead. Final tallies gave Sprague a tentative win, however, claiming victory by a margin of 6053 votes to Garcia’s 5978. “It was a close race,” said Sprague, “but I won, and I’m very pleased with the re-
sult.” Sprague, an Assistant District Attorney in Clinton County, received the endorsement of Essex County Republicans and went on to a narrow victory over fellow Republican Garcia in the party primary, but not before Garcia had secured the endorsement of county Democrats. “I knew it was going to be tough,” Sprague added. “[Garcia’s] a four-year incumbent who ran on a major party line, but we won, and I’m happy with that.” The towns of Elizabethtown, Westport, Moriah, Essex, and Schroon all broke heavily in favor of Garcia, but Sprague claimed significant victories in Chesterfield, Ticonderoga, Minerva, Newcomb, North Hudson, and her new hometown of Willsboro. Sprague said the presence of the Congressional race in the 23rd district contributed heavily to the closeness of the District Attorney race. “The Democrats definitely got out the vote,” she said, surmising that many supporters of candidate Bill Owens also voted for Garcia on the Democratic line. Garcia has yet to concede, but certainly acknowledged the initial deficit in a race many had painted as a referendum on the decision of Republican party leaders not to back the candidate they had chosen four years prior. “I’m very proud of our campaign,” said Garcia. “People stood up for what they believed in.” Garcia pointed to early results in the race for Essex town supervisor as evidence that the political strength of ranking Essex County Republicans is fading. There, long-time incumbent Ronald Jackson, chair of the county Republican Committee, showed a preliminary loss to challenger Sharon Boisen by a margin of more
Julie Garcia than five percent. “When Ron Jackson takes a hit, it speaks volumes for the state of the Republican Party in Essex County,” Garcia said. “It shows the unrest in the GOP and that people aren’t just going to vote for the person the Republican Party wants them to vote for.” The candidates now await an official result following the count of absentee ballots. There have been 1,167 absentee ballots sent out, of which, at last report, 787 have been collected. The remaining 380 must have been postmarked by Nov. 2, but have until Nov. 10 to be received. Still, Sprague is confident her victory will stand. “I think that once the absentee ballots are counted, they will increase our margin further,” she said, adding that her campaign has actively targeted absentee voters.
Hommes elected easily to fourth term as sheriff By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Henry Hommes has been the Essex County Sheriff for 12 years. Now, it appears he will have the chance to add four more. Unofficial election results released Nov. 3 showed Hommes with a commanding lead over his two independent challengers with nearly 55 percent of the total vote. The final tally credited Hommes with 5,280 votes. Westport town councilman Michael “Ike” Tyler came in second with 3,086, and former Wilmington town justice Robert Kirby third with 1,319. “I think it speaks for itself; that I must be doing what the people want,” said Hommes. “I’m very appreciative of the support I’ve received tonight and over the past 12 years.” The convincing victory for Hommes parallels his win over Tyler in the Republican primary. There, he claimed 54.2 percent of the vote in a two-way race. Tyler continued to run as an independent, but could not pull enough voters away from Hommes. He did put forth strong showings in Elizabethtown, Moriah, and Westport, however.
Tyler could not be reached for comment at the time of this report. Kirby, another independent, was also able to draw many of the voters who were seeking change. Though he had significant support in Wilmington and surrounding communities in Keene and Jay, it was not enough to challenge the incumbent. “Naturally, I'm disappointed,” said Kirby. “I believe that we have some serious problems at our sheriff's office, and I presented some very specific solutions to them.” Kirby said he had felt a positive response from people he met throughout the county, but admitted his self-funded campaign may not have allowed him to reach enough people. “Although the end result was not what I'd hoped for, it was still a positive experience overall and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to run,” he added. The wide margin of victory for Hommes means he has no reason to doubt his re-election. Less than 1,200 absentee ballots have been issued county-wide. “We will continue to do the job we’ve been doing of trying to keep the burden of the tax rolls off the backs of the taxpayers,” Hommes said.

Champlain bridge to be demolished By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point, closed for a month because of safety concerns, will be demolished. Engineers have determined it is not feasible to rehabilitate the 80-year-old span. An underwater inspection of the bridge's concrete piers and underlying foundations found cracks and significant deterioration in the unreinforced concrete substructures well below the water level that render these supports so fragile that a sudden collapse could occur. “Safety was our primary concern when we closed the Lake Champlain Bridge last month and it is our chief interest now,” New York Gov. David Paterson said, announcing the decision to tear down the bridge.. “We must make a decision that protects those who cross the bridge, as well as workers and engineers, and therefore we have no choice but to tear down the dangerously deteriorated bridge.” The bridge is jointly owned by New York and Vermont, although New York has responsibility for
bridge maintenance. “Reports indicate that the bridge is highly unstable and our harsh winter will only aggravate its condition,” Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas said. “For everyone’s safety, the bridge must be dismantled in a controlled fashion quickly so that a replacement bridge can be erected in its place.” Douglas said both states are working to install temporary ferry service as close to the bridge as possible so that motorists can once again begin crossing Lake Champlain between Addison and Crown Point. Stanley Gee, acting commissioner of the New York State Department of Transportation, said, “Now that the analysis is completed and the bridge has been found unstable, we can work quickly to demolish the existing bridge and accelerate the process for building a permanent replacement. We look forward to restoring vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the lake. In order to preserve and protect the historically and environmentally sensitive areas on both side of Lake Champlain, we plan to build the replacement bridge as close to the existing location as is possible.”

A tale of two bridges Aging bridge in St. Armand, rated worse than Crown Point Bridge, now repaired By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com
The Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point, closed for a month because of safety concerns, will be demolished. Engineers have determined it is not feasible to rehabilitate the 80-year-old span. Both governors have emphasized that until a new bridge can be built, a temporary new ferry service should be established as quickly as possible. To that end, they noted that all of the required environmental documentation will be submitted to the appropriate federal agencies early this week, so that construction of new ferry docks can begin as soon as possible. Last month, officials an-
nounced transportation alternatives to cross Lake Champlain. Those alternatives include a free ferry service between Ticonderoga and Shoreham, Vt., as well as free ferry service at Lake Champlain Transportation's ferry service at the Essex/Charlotte crossing. Additionally, a free express bus service now brings commuters to three major employers in Vermont, while a pedestrian ferry service was established north of the Lake Champlain Bridge between Westport, New York and Basin Harbor, Vt.
BLOOMINGDALE — A local bridge deemed to be in worse shape than the Crown Point Bridge months ago has since been rebuilt. In May, State Department of Transportation inspectors gave the bridge on County Route 18, near the center of Bloomingdale, a rating of 3.29 on the department’s 1-to-7 scale for condition. That same month, The Crown Point bridge, which closed Oct. 16 due to structural deterioration, relieved a rating of 3.38. However, unlike the Crown Point Bridge, the bridge on County Route 18 has gotten some much needed attention. The Essex County Department of Public Works began renovation of the bridge Sept. 14, and work is nearly finished. According to DPW deputy superintendent Tony LaVigne, the original bridge had been built in 1965 as a span of three culverts supported by concrete wailers. In fall of 2008, inspectors found both the wailers and the culverts had deteriorated to the point of needing replacement. The immediate need for attention moved the bridge up on the department’s list of projects for its five-year plan. “On that plan, we take the amount of money we have and try to address the worst few bridges,” said LaVigne. “This was one of the lowest rated bridges on our plan.” The bridge received a red flag, giving county officials six weeks to develop a plan for fixing it. Engineers decided to replace the existing design with a 28-foot clear-span bridge supported by concrete retaining walls. According to LaVigne, the project has cost the county $519,686. Traffic on the bridge has been limited to one lane during construction. According to County DPW estimates, it handles roughly 480 cars per day. “I’m very happy with replacing it,” said St. Armand supervisor Joyce Morency, adding that residents had often complained of their basements flooding because of clogged culverts on the bridge. “It should certainly help with the plowing of that road,” she said. Until its replacement, the bridge was one of 100 across the state that were rated worse than the Crown Point Bridge, which spans roughly 80 times longer and will undoubtedly cost millions to replace.

Morency staying put in St. Armand Supervisor elected to eighth term By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com BLOOMINGDALE — St. Armand supervisor Joyce Morency easily overcame a rare challenge for her seat and will remain in office for her eighth term. Unofficial election results compiled Nov. 3 put Morency ahead of her opponent, Thomas Jones, 361 to 184. “I’m very, very pleased,” said Morency, “and I appreciate what the people of St. Armand did for me with their support. I will do for them what they have done for me and pay them back with my hard work.” Morency has been supervisor of St. Armand since first being elected in 1981. She has served as chair of the Board of Supervisors and is one of the longest-tenured officials on that body. She has run unopposed in most election years, but faced a challenge this year from Jones, a former school superintendent and current town board member. Morency, having received more than 66 percent of the vote, said her reputation as a staunch conservative likely resonated with voters in St. Armand, many of whom are struggling in the current economy. “Two to one is a wonderful margin,” she said. “I do know that the Democrat party was out strong that day to support [Bill] Owens.” “We gave it everything we had,” said Jones, noting his attempts to reach people door-to-door and through various forms of media. “We are proud of the way we conducted my campaign,” he added. “We had a lot of friends who bent over backward to help us, and that was a rewarding experience.”

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — The Saranac Lake Village Board of Trustees opted to turn down a resolution that would have changed the fiscal year ’s start date from June to January. The board didn’t officially vote the resolution down because the measure didn’t have the three vote majority to carry. But the majority of “no” votes was enough to effectively kill the bill. Trustee Christine Fontana had been in favor of the resolution, but last night cited negative feedback she’d received from numerous residents. “It’s a hardship on the taxpayer,” she said. “I’m not sure this is going to fly.” Trustee Susan Waters said the measure would have put a burden on the taxpayers for the convenience of the village. “As I said the last time we spoke about it, it seems to me we’re putting a burden on the taxpayers for a convenience to us that just doesn’t seem all that necessary,” she said. “It doesn’t seem like that great a hardship to us.” For Trustee John McEneany, the main issue that arises due
to the offset fiscal years between the town and village is fire contracts. “The one item that keeps coming up to the board has always been the fire contracts and the payments being split between two years,” he said. But Village Manager Marty Murphy indicated there was a way to fix that problem. “In the contracts that are pending, there’s one payment so it’s no longer split,” he said. “Although we don’t receive the payment until the following six months.” Trustee Jeff Branch echoed Waters, noting that January is a difficult time of year and it’s unfair to pile village taxes on top of county and town taxes. Mayor Tom Michael still believes it makes more sense to change the fiscal year. “The only thing I can say publicly to the folks who think it’s going to be a hardship is we’re talking about reducing levels of government, so it’s all going to be there someday, and it’s going to go back to January, not June,” he said. A second bill that would have established the manner of tax collection for the village was discarded. That measure would have adopted a new tax payment scheduled had the resolution changing the fiscal year passed.

Tobacco Candy?! You’ve got to be kidding!
O
ne of the country’s leading tobacco companies, R.J. Reynolds, has recently marketed its killer product in the form of candy. Camel Orbs, Camel Strips and Camel Sticks are marketed in mint and fruit flavors and are sold in colorful stylish boxes. Is there a chance that R.J. Reynolds had children in mind when they chose their seductive marketing strategy? One of my favorite reads is Joseph Heller ’s anti war book , “Catch-22.” One of the feature characters is Milo Minder binder. Milo is a shameless self promoter and profiteer. In order to create venture capital, Milo removes and sells the parachutes from American bombers and removes the morphine from first aid kits and replaces them with paper shares in M&M Enterprises. When members of the bomber crews protest his actions he tells them, “What is good for M&M Enterprises is good for the country and for you.” It appears that R.J. Reynolds has taken a page out of Milo Minder binder ’s play book. As tobacco sales have been waning and people are smoking less, tobacco companies are finding new ways to consume their toxic products. Additionally, they want to cultivate new customers and those new customers have been educated about the lethality of their products. In my recollection, Milo Minder binder exploited just about everyone around him except children. Apparently, even this toxic profiteer would not stoop to the despicable depths of child exploitation. Sadly, tobacco companies appear willing to. Tobacco candy has the potential to seduce a new generation of users. My generation was seduced by images that projected power and individuality like the “Marlboro Man.” Perhaps, tobacco companies are hoping that candy flavored tobacco will lead children to become adult consumers
of their products when their purchasing power is greater. In addition, a child that is seeking another “rush high” such as is found in products such as “Red Bull” or other energy drinks will find the same effect from nicotine. Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances, whether it is smoked, chewed or otherwise consumed. The abuse of nicotine can lead to dangerous increases in heart rate By Scot Hurlburt and blood pressure. A new federal law has banned the use of fruit flavored cigarettes because they were so attractive to children. Unfortunately, the ban does not extend to mints or other candy flavored products. While tobacco that is smoked or chewed can easily be detected by parents or teachers, minty Camel Orbs will not be so easily detected, if at all. In addition, the product has the appearance of ordinary candy. Children could literally be using dissolvable tobacco products right in front of their parents or teachers without anyone noticing. So far, I am not aware of these products being available in the Northeast; they are only available in southern, tobacco belt areas; so far. If market trials prove profitable, tobacco candy will probably be available everywhere. Remember, all kids count.

Where exactly did the scarecrow come from?
T
he scarecrow is one of the most familiar figures of the rural landscape not only in the United States but throughout the world — especially during the fall months. His ragged figure has been recorded in rural history for centuries. We think of scarecrows as human-like figures stuffed with straw, but farmers have invented many different scarecrows to protect their crops over the years. Hungry birds have always been a problem for farmers. Birds, such as crows, sometimes ate so much corn or wheat that farmers did not have enough food to last through the winter. So, for more than 3,000 years, farmers have been making scarecrows. As long as birds are hungry, farmers will still look for ways to scare crows! The first scarecrows in recorded history were placed along the Nile River to protect wheat fields from flocks of quail. Egyptian farmers covered wooden frames with fishing nets. The farmers hid in the fields and scared the quail into the nets. Japanese farmers also began making scarecrows to protect their rice fields. The farmers hung old rags, meat, and fish bones from bamboo poles in their fields and then set them on fire. The idea was that the smell was so bad that birds, and all other living creatures, stayed far away from the crops. It should be no surprise that the Japanese word for scarecrow — kakashis — literally means something that smells bad! In the United States these days, we view scarecrows more
as a fall decoration. This association is most likely linked to successful fall harvest celebrations and the idea that the scarecrows helped achieve a successful harvests by keeping birds out of the fields. Though modern experiences and research has shown that birds acclimate to scarecrows. Therefore, the traditional straw-filled scarecrow makes better decoration than bird deterrent! The decorative autumn scarecrows come in many shapes and styles. While these fall scarecrows probably aren’t scaring too many crows, they are welcome, fun, and attractive additions to the fall garden!

O
ne of the most common misconceptions about coupons is that the item that you buy must match the picture that appears on the face of the coupon. It's true that you can use the coupon to purchase the item that's pictured. However, you want to pay close attention to the text on a coupon, too. After all, the text contains the precise information that the coupon's bar code is programmed to deliver at the checkout counter. Which brings us to this week's tip.

It's a very common marketing technique for a manufacturer to show a new or more expensive variety of a product on the face of a coupon in the hope that you will buy this new or more expensive variety. If you read the coupon, though, you'll discover that the offer is good for "$1 off any [brand] product." Consider a coupon for a new variety of cold medicine put out by a leading manufacturer. The coupon may show the new, multi-symptom medicine in the picture, hoping that you will want to try it, but the text states clearly that you can use the coupon on any medicine from this manufacturer. Learning to distinguish between what the photo suggests and the full terms of the deal that the text actually spells out is a skill that can really help shoppers, giving us more freedom to buy the item we may prefer versus the variety shown in the photo. I recently had a coupon for a new variety of skin-care product. It showed a photo of the lotion, and the text read "$1 off [brand] lotion, body wash, or any [brand] product." That wording is key! When I didn't see a good sale for the company's lotions or body wash, I did see a bar of the same brand of soap - for 99 cents. With my coupon, it was free. Brand-name sandwich meat is an area where it can pay to read coupon wording closely. People often ask me how to save at the deli counter. It's not always easy to get discounts on fresh-cut cold cuts. But many meat manufacturers sell pre-packaged deli meats, too, and there are often coupons for those. Look closely at the wording on these
coupons. While the coupon may show a boxed or bagged variety of meat, the wording often spells out a wider deal, such as "$1 off 1 package of [brand] sliced meat, or 1lb. of [brand] sliced meats at the deli." These coupons are a great way to save on fresh-sliced By Jill Cataldo meats of the same brand at the deli counter. Ready for another tip? This one involves brand loyalty. While we all have favorite brands of things, our brand loyalty can cost us in the long run if we aren't shopping smart for those favorite-brand items when they're on sale. Major brands often engage in what the industry calls "price wars" with one another. We see this frequently with items such as pasta sauce, where numerous brands compete to sell what is essentially the same product. Brand A may be cheap one week, but next week Brand B barrels in with an even lower price. This works out well for shoppers who aren't particularly partial to any specific brand. But, if we think "I really like Brand A, and I will always buy it no matter what," it's great when Brand A is on sale for $1.29 a jar and we've got a 75-cent coupon for it. But when the sale ends and Brand A goes back up to $3.29 a jar, we'll be paying the price. If we can let some of our brand preferences slide a little bit and fluctuate along with the sales, we can save more money in the long run. Next week, I'll share one of the biggest and most surprising tips with you. It involves which days of the week are the least expensive days to shop at the grocery store. You might be surprised to learn what they are! © CTW Features

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — Following numerous requests for action, the Lake Placid Village Board of Trustees has agreed to host a public forum to discuss the recent milfoil invasion in Paradox Bay and to address the future of the village-owned boat launch on Victor Herbert Road. At last week’s board meeting, Lake Placid Shore Owners Association President Mark Wilson expressed frustration with the board. “This is the fifth time that I’ve appeared before you in the four months since we discovered milfoil on Lake Placid,” he said. “I’ve reported to you on all aspects of the clean up, and at various times thrown out proposals for how we can protect Lake Placid – specifically the waters in Paradox Bay, going forward,” Wilson said. Four months ago, variable leaf milfoil was discovered in Paradox Bay. The Shore Owners Association launched a clean up effort, successfully ridding the waters of the invasive plant. But Wilson says that’s not enough. Milfoil – or any host of other invasive species – could easily return to Lake Placid without adequate monitoring. That, Wilson says, would be disastrous. The lake is a popular recreational destination in the Adirondacks, and is also the source of the village’s drinking water. The Shore Owners have proposed a variety of solutions to protect Paradox Bay, including the establishment of a stewardship program to inspect boats as they enter and leave Lake Placid. Wilson also suggests gating the launch during time frames when a monitor can’t be present. Another option is allowing only car-top carried boats – canoes, kayaks and small row boats. That option would require

boats transported by trailer to be launched at the state Department of Environmental Conservation site off Mirror Lake Drive. “This would obviate any need for a monitor since the vast bulk of invasive species are carried either on the trailers or in boats that are carried on trailers,” Wilson said. “That proposal would concentrate all of the trailer launch activity to where we have a monitor on staff.” But so far, the proposals put forth by the Shore Owners have been met with inaction, Wilson said. “Basically, our proposals have been reasonable and responsible,” he said. “To date, and I’m sorry to say this, the reaction of the village board has been to do nothing. We need to take some action so that next summer, when we see traffic ramping up again, we can be assured that the lake water – the source of the drinking water for the entire village – is protected.” The town of North Elba has said it will help mitigate invasive in Lake Placid, but has not yet committed to an exact number financially because the council is still wading through the budget for next year. Trustee and Deputy Mayor Zay Curtis suggested that a public forum be slated so all sides can discuss the future of Paradox Bay and the village marina. That meeting has not been set, but the board is expected to choose a date before next Monday’s meeting. Following last week’s meeting, Wilson said he understands the issues surrounding the launch require time to be solved correctly. “These things take time,” he said. “I’m aware of that. But at the same time we have to keep putting pressure on the board to act.” He added that it would be a huge mistake to do nothing and leave the problem unaddressed – noting that inaction could usher in another milfoil invasion. “It takes some time and I hope we’re getting there,” Wilson said.

SARANAC LAKE — The Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) has appointed Kate Fish of Lake Placid, NY, as its new Executive Director. Fish replaces Terry Martino, who served in that capacity for nearly two decades before becoming Executive Director at the Adirondack Park Agency in August. Greg Hill, ANCA’s Interim Executive Director, will return to assisting grassroots-based, community planning and outreach initiatives for ANCA on a regional basis. “ANCA is delighted and thankful to have Kate Fish assume this crucial position, helping to proactively address local issues, regional concerns, and emerging opportunities in the Adirondack North Country region of New York,” said Donald Caldera, ANCA President. “Kate brings a wealth of international and local experience to ANCA and we look forward to her leading the organization,” Caldera added. “While transitioning operations, she also will maintain continuity of ANCA programs and services familiar to businesses, organizations, government officials, and citizens throughout our fourteencounty region,” ANCA’s leadership, coordination, and support endeavors in areas such as Scenic Byway corridor planning and marketing, tourism and art and craft industrial development, natural grazing and direct to consumer agriculture, and wood products marketing have been hallmarks of the ANCA “brand” for nearly a decade. The recently completed Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project is an additional endeavor in which ANCA was a major participant in partnership with the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages. Fish has worked extensively with Adirondack North Country stakeholders since returning to the Adirondacks in 2007. Her family started coming to the region in the 1930s. Upon relocating to the Adirondack North Country, she started an independent sustainability consultancy, building upon her U.S. corporate and international not-forprofit leadership roles. Most recently she has

worked with, and involved people and organizations from across all sectors of the region. Her efforts in leading the development, coordination and implementation of major conferences at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, and follow-up planning to drive economic development through improved energy efficiency and support for renewable energy initiatives are significant. As ANCA’s Executive Director, Fish will be assuming management of the not-forprofit corporation that since 1954 has strengthened the vitality and quality of life in communities across all of northern New York.

DENTON PUBLICATIONS, INC.
By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — In a surprise move, the Adirondack Park Agency has issued a lengthy response to a widely published letter to the editor recently authored by Adirondack Local Government Review Board executive director Fred Monroe. APA spokesman Keith McKeever penned the three-page rebuttal and refutes several of Monroe’s claims – labeling many of them as bold-faced untruths. “Statements that the state owns or controls 75 percent of all the land inside the park are grossly inaccurate,” McKeever writes. “Recreational pursuits on state lands help sustain the outdoor recreational and tourism industries which have been significant components of the Adirondack economy since the 19th century and represent a major economic growth opportunity.” Both sides agree that the state directly owns about 43 percent of the land inside the Blue Line. But control of private land is a major point of disagreement. Monroe and dozens of local officials argue that when all state easements on private lands are factored in, the state controls about 75 percent of in-park land. But McKeever uses Monroe’s own data against him, citing the Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project – that was largely sponsored by local governments – and states that only six percent of privately owned lands are under public easement. “These private lands were previously off limits to the public for centuries but are or
will become accessible for public recreational opportunities motorized and non-motorized uses,” McKeever said. In his letter, Monroe blasts the agency for attempting to reclassify the lands and waters of Lows Lake. He argues that the total ban on motorized vehicles in lands under the most restrictive Wilderness designation limits use to only the most able-bodied outdoor enthusiasts. “Wilderness is by its very definition is not easily accessible and is intentionally managed to provide important opportunities for solitude and remoteness,” McKeever said. Local officials have long argued that that state’s ever-increasing amount of publicly owned land is limiting the ability of the park’s communities to remain economically viable, while simultaneously limiting access to state lands to only certain kinds of outdoor activities popular among specific demographics. For his part, McKeever doesn’t agree with this interpretation or Monroe’s representation of land-use data. “Last year, the agency rendered a SLMP interpretation that actually allows for the potential increase of snowmobile trail mileage by 15 percent over current levels,” he said. “There is an ongoing need for accurate representation of the facts, regardless of opinions, to facilitate a positive and constructive dialogue to ensure outcomes that are beneficial to the Adirondack Park’s people, communities and environment.” The agency Board of Commissioners is expected to vote on the Lows Lake reclassification this coming Friday.

ORDA employee wins Governor’s Award LAKE PLACID — The State Employees Federated Appeal is currently being conducted across the North Country. The annual campaign targets state employees and provides them with an opportunity to pledge contributions to a wide variety of local, national and international charities. The United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. coordinates the SEFA campaign in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Hamilton counties. The campaign is overseen and operated by a regional SEFA committee comprised of representatives from state agencies, state facilities, unions and management from throughout the four counties. The committee recently nominated Ken White, a marketing assistant at the Olympic Regional Development Authority and member of the regional committee, to win the Governor ’s Award for his outstanding work on the campaign. “I couldn’t have won this award without the support of everyone at ORDA and my colleagues on the SEFA Committee,” White said. The annual award is granted to individuals or groups who demonstrate outstanding commitment and dedication to advancing the SEFA campaign within their region. “Ken has helped create an opportunity to recognize that ORDA is part of a bigger puzzle and that we are dedicated to the community and to the entire region,” said ORDA chief executive officer Ted Blazer. The last Governor ’s Award was granted to Mary Vann, Cheryl Constanty and Maxine Brooks of the Clinton Correctional Facility. There are approximately 8,326 state employees in the four-county area. Last year, the SEFA committee was successful in raising $197,054.50 among state employees for participating charities and federations. Wayne Rabideau, an employee at Altona Correctional Facility and member of the Public Employee Federation Union, said “state employees in this area are very generous and caring people and our committee does a great job raising much needed dollars for important purposes.” “Ken White is a great example of this,” added Rabideau, who also serves as the committee chair and loaned executive for the campaign. This year, the committee, which also includes representatives from charities, is hoping to raise more than $200,000.

Hunter’s out of their senses Despite the fact that humans beings have evolved into a civilized society over the course of thousands of years; we are still considered to be the apex predators on this planet. For untold millenniums, human beings functioned through the evolutionary process in the role of ‘hunters and gatherers’. Subsistence depended upon what could be caught or gathered from the water and the land. This process was accomplished while simultaneously avoiding being caught or eaten by the some of the very species being hunted. Until humans attained the capacity for agriculture, the survival of our species depended upon fine tuning the skills of our natural, predatory abilities. The development of agriculture was essential to the development of civilizations. Once humans learned to raise food, they rapidly lost the natural ability to hunt. In his biophilia hypothesis, Harvard University professor E.O. Wilson described this nature heritage in an effort to better understand the human need for nature. Professor Wilson theorized that despite the fact that humans no longer function as true hunter/gatherers; we remain focused on the natural world. We are attracted to
green spaces and we need the outdoors. It is in our genes! I believe the best proof of Wilson’s theory is evident when a toddler first picks up a stick. Although the child may never have seen a gun or a spear before, there is often an innate response that makes the child point the stick as if it were a weapon. The same situation occurs when a little boy gets his first b-b gun. There is a certain, inexplicable draw that makes him point the gun at the first bird to fly by or the first frog to jump. It’s a reaction that occurs across geographic, cultural and economic boundaries. Where does it come from if not a hunting instinct in our genes? Despite this ingrained hunter/gatherer heritage; man has become a civilized creature. Many of us have lost these once vital senses. Many humans no possess a natural sense of direction, a keen sense of hearing or smell. Some have purposely ‘tuned out’ these senses to block the bombardment of sensory overload that prevails in the modern world. However, through the long, evolutionary process, our senses have also atrophied from the lack of use. The keen senses that once protected humans from danger and insured our survival are no longer necessary because modern
Photo submitted
man gathers more and hunts less. Few of us use our senses strictly for hunting purposes anymore. However, the most successful hunters concentrate on utilizing their natural senses. In the natural environment, our senses are stimulated and exercised. As a result, senses become sharper and keener and we begin to hear, taste and smell better. This may even explain why food always tastes better in camp. For deer hunters, a constant awareness of scents, sounds and sights is key to success. Despite the fact that ‘scent, scent free and no-scent’ products have become a mini-industry within the hunting products industry; hunters spend little time concentrating on their own sensory awareness skills. Try a few simple exercises to illustrate the point. Shut your eyes and listen to the wind. Take a few deep breaths and smell the air to see if you can taste it. Crumple a leaf and listen closely to the sound. When one sense shuts down, others will compensate for the loss. When you can’t see, you’ll hear better; you’ll feel the wind on your cheek and smell the mustiness of autumn’s decay. In the blackness of an early morning’s watch, a hunter may hear every twig snap. But once the sun is is up, the sensory concentration focuses on what we can see rather than what we hear or smell. The most successful hunters are those that can tune-in to the hunt. They have learned to process the scents, sights, sounds, taste and textures of the woods and to tune out the nonessential attractions. Whitetail deer utilize scents constantly. They use them for protection, for feeding
and for breeding. A deer ’s nose provides it’s greatest protection. It can pick up a scent at a distance of a quarter of a mile. Successful hunters are those that possess a greater sensory awareness of themselves and their quarry.
Vermont moose season ends Vermont’s moose hunting season finished on November 1 for the 2009 season. It was the state’s 17th moose hunting season in modern times, the first occurring in 1993 when 30 permits were issued and 25 moose were taken by hunters. According to Fish and Wildlife officials a preliminary count shows that 516 moose were taken with 1,230 hunting permits issued for the 2009 season. David Godfrey of Holland, Vt shot the heaviest moose this year while hunting in Charleston on October 21. Godfrey’s 965 lb bull moose also is the second heaviest ever shot in Vermont.
Take a kid along A child is overwhelmingly more likely to hunt and fish if they have a parent who hunts and fishes. However, research reveals that only 25 percent of youths from hunting households are active hunters. “No, I’m not a good shot; but I shoot often.” Teddy Roosevelt, President of the United States, outdoorsman and Tahawus Club regular.

Changes Ahead for the Essex County Board of Supervisors By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com ESSEX COUNTY — A couple of Election Day upsets last week could reshape the future of the Essex County Board of Supervisors. The board’s deputy chairman – Essex Town Supervisor Ron Jackson – is facing an impending defeat to challenger Sharon Boison when the remaining ballots are counted later this week. As of Monday, Boison led Jackson 153 to 139, with 50 absentee votes yet to be counted. An independent, Boison is new to the political scene, having never before held public office. Schroon Lake Supervisor Cathy Moses is currently finishing up her term as Chairwoman of the Board – and the heir-apparent for the leadership of the board – which will be decided by supervisors in January – is now up for grabs. Observers of Essex County politics have labeled Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava – a Republican – the frontrunner for the chairmanship now that Jackson will likely be absent. Although there will still be an overwhelming Republican majority in January, the GOP caucus will lose two seats when compared to its current form. The board will now be composed of 10 Republicans, six Democrats and two Independents, with the Democratic and Independent supervisors seeing their ranks swell by one seat each. Along with Jackson, Republican Crown Point Supervisor Dale French suffered a surprising 354 to 308 loss to Democrat Bethany Kosmider. Minerva stayed in Democratic hands as county Democratic Committee Chairwoman Sue Montgomery Corey outlasted Republican challenger Dave LaBar. In an interesting twist, outgoing Democratic Supervisor Mike McSweeney had endorsed the Republican LaBar over Corey.
