Audit finds fault with Elizabethtown bookkeeping
Community rallies for Jeff Brown By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com
By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The town of Elizabethtown must do a better job keeping track of its funds and fuel, a recent audit has determined. The office of New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli released their report last week of an audit that noted significant shortfalls in the way the town maintains records of gasoline pumped from bulk storage tanks at the town highway garage and Cobble Hill Golf Course. The audit, which scrutinized records from January 2008 through April 2009, also found failure on the part of supervisor Noel Merrihew and his bookkeeper to keep accurate financial records and submit them to the town board for annual review. Cash account balance tests for December 2008 and March 2009 found “discrepancies between the bank statement and general ledger balances that could not be explained, ranging from approximately $260 to $140,260,” said the report. Additionally, four out of seven town expenditure accounts were found to be over-expended during the year by a total of $47,853. Instead of transferring money from accounts with a surplus, “town officials inappropriately transferred expenditures from over-expended accounts to accounts with appropriations remaining in order to keep expenditures in individual accounts under the budgeted figures,” the report stated. “The improper transfer of expenditures makes it difficult for town officials to prepare their budget and makes the use of the budget almost pointless,” it added. Auditors recommended that Merrihew and his bookkeeper attend training to learn how to properly use the town’s financial management software and emphasized for accurate records to be submitted regularly to the town board for review.

Judge: APA must pay farm’s legal fees By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Adirondack Park Agency will be required to pay at least some of the legal fees incurred by an Essex farmer who prevailed against them in court last summer, a judge ruled Feb. 3. Acting Essex County State Supreme Court Judge Richard Meyer said the Lewis Family Farm, owned by Salim "Sandy" and Barbara Lewis, is entitled to counsel fees and other expenses arising from a legal battle with the agency regarding farmworker housing. Meyer ordered a hearing, scheduled for Feb. 26, to determine just how much of the $208,000 sought by the farm is entitled for recovery under the Equal Access to Justice Act, which requires government agencies to pay legal fees of a prevailing party unless they can show they were “substantially justified” in their position. According to Meyer, the APA was not “substantially justified” in its decision to assert jurisdiction over three modular homes built to house farmworkers on the 1,200-acre organic

farm on the outskirts of Whallonsburg. “In arriving at its administrative determination, now annulled, the APA went beyond the statutory language of its own definitions,” Meyer stated, echoing his November 2008 decision in favor of the farm, which was later unanimously affirmed by a mid-level appeals court. Meyer also said the APA went beyond their authority in an effort to “assert jurisdiction, impose a $50,000 civil penalty, and, incredibly, require Lewis Family Farm to waive ‘the right to challenge Agency jurisdiction and the review clocks otherwise applicable.’” Much of the APA’s argument for justification hinged on the August 2007 decision of Acting Essex County Supreme Court Justice Kevin K. Ryan, who was first to hear the dispute between the APA and Lewis Family Farm and affirmed the APA’s authority to issue a determination. Meyer said Ryan’s decision did not grant the APA jurisdiction over the houses them- Sandy Lewis, co-owner of Lewis Family Farm, adselves, but simply said the matter was “not ripe dresses the Essex County Board of supervisors

Westport honors Homer Estus
Wells Memorial welcomes Stephen Longmire exhibit
By Colin Wells denpubs@denpubs.com
UPPER JAY — From now until April 1, Wells Memorial Library is exhibiting photographs from “Keeping Time in Sag Harbor” by Stephen Longmire, a resident of Upper Jay. A combination of photographs and text, the book describes the transformation of a former-whaling-port-turned-summerresort on eastern Long Island during the recent real estate boom, as many of its historic houses were converted into second homes. The book commemorated Sag Harbor ’s 300th anniversary in 2007. Larger versions of this show were seen at New York’s South Street Seaport Museum in 2008 and at the Nantucket Historical Association in 2009. This installation includes 15 images. On Sunday, Feb. 14 from 2-4 p.m., the author will talk about his work and show photographs from his forthcoming book, “Life and Death on the Prairie.” This portrait of one of the last prairies in Iowa, a cemetery in continuous use since the 1830s, will be out next fall from the Center for American Places and University of Chicago Press, the publishers of Keeping Time in Sag Harbor. Photographs from the new book will be exhibited at Grinnell College in the fall. Stephen Longmire’s photographs have been hung in galleries and museums across the country, from Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Photography to the Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York. They are in the collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and the National Park Service. He has written on photographic art for many publications, including Afterimage and The Chicago Reader, and taught the history and practice of photography at Georgetown University and Columbia College Chicago. He is planning a book on the built environments of the Adirondack Park, with support from Adirondack Architectural Heritage. For more information, contact Karen Rappaport at the Wells Memorial Library by calling 946-2644. The Wells Memorial Library is open Tuesday through Thursday from 12-5 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

WESTPORT — Friends and family of longtime Westport resident Homer Estus gathered at the Town Hall Feb. 3 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his acceptance into Westport's volunteer fire department. In attendance were his wife, the former Joyce Keith, a Westport native, and their sons Glenn, Lawrence, and Bruce, as well as relatives from Bristol, Vt. Members of the Westport and Wadhams fire departments marked the occasion with dress uniforms, and representatives from Moriah, Essex, and Peru fire departments were also present. Certificates of appreciation were presented to Estus for his service from a number of officials, including State Assemblywoman Theresa Sayward, Essex County Sheriff Henry Hommes, and Essex County emergency services director Donald Jaquish. Westport Supervisor Dan Connell read a resolution of appreciation on behalf of the Town Board, and Westport Fire Chief Jim Westover, Jr. presented Estus with a gold watch and a plaque expressing the department's gratitude. Westport firefighter Ernie LaPine, who emceed the event, told the assembled crowd, “It's wonderful to see so many people here. That tells us how highly respected Homer Estus is this com-

munity, and how much we value his years of dedicated service.” Estus was born in Monckton, Vt., and resided in Crown Point and Essex, where he also served as a firefighter for three years before moving to Westport in 1947. He and his wife recently marked their 63rd wedding anniversary. They first met on the excursion boat Ticonderoga, she recalled, and then ran into each other the following weekend at a square dance
at the Whallonsburgh Grange. Despite some recent health problems, Estus, who will celebrate his eighty-first birthday on Feb. 23, has kept up a remarkably active role in the fire department. As the department's chief fundraiser, for many years he organized its signature event, the annual oyster dinner. Estus joked with presenters throughout the ceremony. Then, on a serious note, he thanked the presenters
and the audience for their recognition. “I always enjoyed working with you,” he said, “and I hope to go on working with you a little longer.” In describing how his colleagues in the fire department feel about Estus, LaPine settled on one telling detail that says it all: “Homer Estus is the only member to have a parking spot reserved in his name at the firehouse.”

NORTHCOUNTRYSPCA Janice Allen • 963-8912 • allens@willex.com The senior class of our local school put on their play this past weekend and they once again did a great job. “All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten’ is not an easy play to perform, but they did a fantastic job along with a great display of some of their art work. This class will soon be going on the annual class trip for a week, I believe they are going to California. In a small community many family names have deep roots, in the last several days three such families have experienced loss of loved ones. We learned of Earl Lee’s death in Greenville, Mich., he leaves only one surving direct family member a sister Alcia now living in Florida and several relatives here in our community. We also learned of the death of Stanley Bridge from Naugatuck, he leaves a brother here in Willsboro, Robert Bridge, and two sisters here, Dorothy Jacques and Margaret Hendricks. Even though they move away we still share in their loss. The third loss was that of Ronald Strong, he died on Feb. 1 and was a well known local resident. His whole family lives in our community and are feeling a great sense of loss along with us as a community. Our sympathy is extended to all of these families. Happy Birthday to Mary Sue Arnold 2/13, Jerilyn Jaquish 2/16, Bill Rowland 2/17, Lucy Belzile 2/17, Nancy Huestis 2/18, Jean Leonessa 2/18, Kristin Hotaling 2/19.

I
'm embarrassed to have to lead this week's column with a few corrections to last week's column, for which I apologize to everyone concerned. I wrote that the proceeds from the Pull Tabs for Molly campaign went to help with Molly's medical treatment, which was wrong—they went to the Ronald McDonald House in Burlington, which extended reduced-rate food and lodging to the Rascoes during Molly's hospitalization. The other two mistakes were still sloppy but perhaps less consequential—I wrote that the campaign netted 48 pounds of tabs when it really netted 248, and that Homer Estus had "at least a decade" as an Essex firefighter before coming to Westport when it was more like three years. The last mistake came to my attention during the celebration of Homer's fifty year anniversary as a Westport firefighter on Wednesday, February 3. The anniversary itself was the previous day, but our fire department's monthly meeting fell on the Wednesday, and so it seemed right to dedicate the meeting itself to this worthy occasion. Instead of the firehouse, we met at the Town Hall. It was a wonderful celebration. Homer's family and his many friends enjoyed excellent sandwiches and cake from Me and My Girls, and emcee Ernie La Pine regaled the audience with an often humorous account of Homer's time in the fire service. In fact, there seems to be a little confusion about a few dates and even the spelling of names, so I don't feel quite so bad about my third mistake. But there was a serious side to the
evening, too. Numerous local and state officials acknowledged Homer's achievement with citations and resolutions of appreciation, and Westport Fire Chief Jim Westover, Jr. presented Homer with a gold watch and a handsome plaque commemorating his service. For a fuller account of the event, see the article in this issue of the paper. It was a fitting tribute to a remarkable man— a way for all of us in the community to say "thank you for your service, Homer." The Westport Federated Church will host a meat loaf dinner on Thursday, Feb. 18, starting at 4:30 p.m. with takeouts available until closing. And Dogwood Bread Company in Wadhams will hold its next Senior / Community Luncheon on Tuesday Feb. 23, from 12 to 2 p.m. On the menu is lasagna, sausages with roasted peppers, salad, dessert, and coffee & tea. This lunch is sponsored by Northwaters & Langskib Wilderness Program, whose winter headquarters is in Wadhams. This allows all donations to go to the Christopher Emmet Hallowell Fund, which offers financial assistance to local families with children who face extensive medical treatment, to help offset expenses such as travel and lodging. The Westport Library Poetry Workshop will meet on Thursday, Feb. 25 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. And the library's music program is hoping to have an evening of Irish and/or Scottish ballads and songs on a Thursday in March, but they haven't yet found anyone to sing solos or lead the group in singing.

T
his week, the NCSPCA would like to address a problem sometimes faced by both dog and cat owners, though for different reasons - when your previously housebroken pet suddenly forgets that he is either to use the litter pan/potty mat or wait to "do his business" until he is outside of the house. Cats are generally fastidious creatures who are quick to react when the litter pan isn't up to their standards. Your cat's litter pan should be cleaned daily - at least scooped if not changed. A litter pan smelling strongly of urine is a major deterrant to your feline using his potty. When washing the litter pan, use a little lemon juice or vinegar in the water to neutralize urine odors. Do not use ammonia - this will only enhance the unpleasant smell! In addition, cats respond to stress caused by major changes in their environment - take this into account when considering the situation. Your pet may need some time to adjust to things such as new pets or people in the home. Dogs are instinctively clean animals who quickly learn what kind of surfaces are acceptable bathroom sites. The most likely reason for accidents is if your pet is kept inside too long without the chance to go outside and relieve himself. Another common source of problems is if your dog drinks too much water during the day, which can cause him to urinate more often. If this occurs, limit daytime water. It's also
helpful to keep some toys around so your pet does not become bored when you are away from home. Our featured pet this week is Willie, a Beagle/Basset Hound-mix who is a glutton for attention. He shows his happiness by thunderously wagging his tail. He is a perfect gentleman, who loves most anyone who shows him some love. Willie is ready to move into your heart - and onto your couch where he can enjoy the finer things in life. Willie is a little unsure when being introduced to other dogs, but has a great personality when interacting with adults and children. If you come to the NCSPCA to meet Willie, he will surely win over your heart!

o shake off the winter doldrums, get yourself and your dancing shoes to Whallonsburg. This Saturday night, the 13th, there will be a swing dance at the grange starting at 7:30, with instruction offered at 7 p.m. The cost is $5. On the 27th, there will be a dance from 710 p.m. to benefit the Essex Theater Company. This dance will feature a live band, Ironville, with Yves Tanguy, Crown Point’s fiddle-playing baker. Bald eagles have been spotted all along Essex’s lakeshore, from opposite the ferry dock down to Split Rock. They are fishing in open waters, especially where streams enter the lake. Betsy Tisdale, a friendly local ornithologist, told me that the birds move south as waters up north freeze over. If our winter continues as it has been, the eagles will probably be departing for the Hudson River in the near future. Ms. Tisdale and I conversed while standing in the middle of Main Street, where, thanks to the ferry closure, there is absolutely no traffic.
That’s a bit of an exaggeration; Cheryl Blanchard and her school bus rumbled past, and Bruce Boisen went by, back from a long road trip judging from the amount of salt on his car. Here in Reber, the pressure is on to get my garden seed order finished. Amy grows the flowers and I the vegetables, for the most part. She selects her varieties in about 5 minutes, while I get caught up in the catalogs and their enticing choices. It takes me forever to select my favorites and then compare prices; it’s endlessly enjoyable but Amy is growing impatient with my daydreaming and has given me a deadline so she can start the onion and leek seedlings. I occasionally refer to Reber but I realize it’s a part of town unfamiliar to many, particularly those who live by the lake. In next week’s column I will try to define Reber; if you have an opinion on this admittedly esoteric subject or anything else, please let me know.

xtreme weather conditions across our country dominated the headlines, but not so for the North Country. We only got a dusting and much of our snow is gone, the Boquet River has an open channel of running water. We have many distressed citizens that got the news this week of the Ferry closing at the Essex to Charlotte run for the remainder of the winter. This really now causes a hardship for many that use it on a regular basis. Here too, the Lake is not frozen over. Those of you that are away for the winter will notice some changes in our downtown area on your return. The old Crowingshield house on Main Street is really taking on a new look, the present owner has a crew of workers there tearing off the old and putting on many changes, really improving the look of the downtown area. The Heritage Museum now has a very visual tourist sign posted right under the Fish Ladder sign to encourage visitors to stop and view one of our local treasures. The new owners of the old Grange Hall have been continually making changes, mostly to the interior of the building. I understand they will soon be making their residence in the lower part of the building. I also heard that they may be opening a gift shop next door in the former florist shop. The other end of town is boasting a very a new look and use of the old bowling alley building, it looks great. Slowly but surely, these improvements are making it a community people will want to stop and take a closer look.

Books From page 1 Fuel usage The audit also examined records pertaining to the usage of gasoline and diesel fuel purchased by the town. Town fuel usage has been a point of contention in the past as some Elizabethtown residents have criticized Merrihew and other town officials for using tanks at the Cobble Hill Golf Course to fuel vehicles used elsewhere than the golf course. The tanks have traditionally been used to fuel maintenance vehicles at the golf course, but also vehicles that are used for garbage pickup, park maintenance, and town logging operations in the 800-acre resource management area around the Cobble Hill trail system. The tanks are operated by hand-crank pumps, the meters for which do not accurately measure the gasoline during pumping. Though golf course fuel logs examined by auditors showed which vehicles were filled and the dates, they did not note the amount of fuel that was pumped from the tank or the reason for its usage. “Additionally, prior to 2009, the logs did not separate the fuel used for garbage services and logging from the fuel used by the golf course,” the report said, “thereby making it appear that fuel was used at the golf course during times it was not open.” Similar issues were found with the logs for fuel tanks at the town highway garage. Auditors noted that the town had an informal agreement that allowed the Elizabethtown Fire District and Elizabethtown-Lewis Ambulance Squad to use fuel from those tanks. “While the superintendent maintained vehicle usage logs for highway vehicles and equipment, he did not track the fuel used by the fire district or the ambulance squad,” nor did the town bill the fire or ambulance squad for their usage of fuel, the report stated. In both cases, auditors urged the town to

Town’s response In response to the report, Merrihew stated that the town has already taken steps to remedy the issues raised in the audit and plans to act on all the recommendations of the Comptroller’s office. Both Merrihew and his personal clerk have completed the recommended training, he said, and town financial records were submitted to the town board at their Jan. 11 meeting after thorough scrutiny from an outside bookkeeper. Merrihew said the town will continue to maintain its fuel records and periodic checks will be performed by the town board to ensure the records are accurate. Also, he said the town will revisit its relationship with both the fire district and emergency squad in regards to fuel usage. He went on to offer reassurance to Elizabethtown taxpayers “that our books and their finances are in balance and accounted for.” “All bank accounts have been reviewed and verified by the outside bookkeeper,” stated Merrihew. “Reconciliation of bank to book representation are in balance and all funds are accounted for.” “With the implementation of the comptroller’s recommendations, I am confident that the town will continue in its solid financial position,” he added. Merrihew, who was attending the New York State Association of Counties conference in Albany earlier this week, could not be reached for further comment before the printing of this article. lenged more than $87,000 of the $208,000 requested. “We’re pleased with the decision,” said Lewis, “It’s been a long time coming, but it’s just another step in the phase of this thing.” Lewis called Meyer’s decision “very strong and exceedingly well-written,” but noted how the state will have the opportunity to appeal both the Feb. 3 decision and whatever determination is made regarding the amount of the award. APA Spokesman Keith McKeever said the agency is “dissapointed” with the decision and is reviewing it. John. J. Privitera, council for Lewis Family Farm, called the decision “a victory for the Lewis Farm, farmers in the Champlain Valley and all small businesses in New York.” “It’s good for the community because it sends a clear message,” Lewis added.

for judicial review” and allowed the agency to first determine for itself the extent of its jurisdiction. Assistant Attorney General Loretta Simon, representing the APA, had also argued that the farm was ineligible for an award because its owners had the ability to pay the legal fees themselves. Meyer, however, called that assertion “irrelevant” because the applicable law makes no mention of the prevailing party’s financial wellbeing. Meyer denied awarding the full amount sought by Lewis Family Farm, and ordered a Feb. 26 hearing to determine which of its expenses are eligible for reimbursement. The state has chal-

Supreme Court ruling cause for concern or celebration?
A
few weeks ago, the United States Supreme Court overturned limits on corporate political spending. The ruling eliminated a long-standing legal precedent that had been upheld for over a century. Apparently, the basis of the court’s decision is that a corporation has the same constitutional right to free speech as a person. Some fear that the ruling will open completely, the already swamped financial floodgates for corporations so that they greatly expand their already powerful influence over political elections. Some fear that corporations may exert financial intimidation so powerfully that they could keep some candidates from even trying to run for office because they know that they will be defeated. Some fear that we will no longer be a democracy and instead become a plutocracy where a small group of very wealthy people will control everything in our culture. What a crazy and unrealistic forecast, I say. That assertion is patently illogical. The next thing you know, people will be telling me that taxpayers will bail out failed corporations while corporate executives will walk away with multi-million dollar bonuses. Hey, wait a minute... Fearful speculations aside, this change does give rise to new concerns about the relationship between government and wealthy corporations. Across time, American political giants have warned of the dangers that unfettered influence by corporations might bring to our political process. Presidents Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower all spoke of keeping undue influence of corporations in check. President Obama condemned the ruling saying, “With its ruling, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics. It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power in Washington everyday to drown out the voices of everyday Americans.” Not everyone agrees that unrestricted corporate spending will
harm our political process. Corporations have been hedging their political bets by giving money to both parties and I would expect that practice to continue. Some believe that the ruling will be good for the political process. Corporations won’t have to go through a political action committee to support a candidate so there will be greater transparency. We will know what corporation paid what to whom. By Scot Hurlburt Some believe the ruling will have a powerful effect on incumbents. Incumbents enjoy an advantage already in most campaigns; corporations may give them whatever they want to create policies favorable to that corporation. At the same time, high profile incumbents may become targets of corporations that do not like the political positions taken by the incumbent. A group of corporations could join together to destroy almost anyone that opposed their collective view. I believe that American voters will elect whom they please, corporate funding be damned. President Obama is a perfect example. Five years ago, would any of the pundits have chosen him as the next President? I don’t know if the Supreme Court ruling will make our political process better or worse. On the surface it looks like one more reason for American voters to become even more cynical and possibly angrier at national politicians. Let’s hope that Mickey Mouse doesn’t decide to run for President in the next election. What do I know about politics anyway? Remember, all kids count.

Gather your coupons … and multi-stack!
L
ast week, I introduced you to the concept of multi-stacking, a term I use to refer to any deal at the grocery store that involves applying multiple discounts to the purchase of the same items. Through multi-stacking, shoppers can enjoy even greater savings at the register each week, leveraging the power of store coupons, manufacturer coupons and additional sales or special promotions being held at the store. My favorite deals are “money-back” supermarket sales, in which part of what you pay for your items is returned to you at checkout in the form of a Catalina coupon good for money off your next purchase. One of the stores I shop at recently had a “Spend $30, get $15 back” sale on a variety of items. I get very excited when I see these sales, because that $30 is the total before coupons are factored in – pre-coupon, I call it. This particular deal included a variety of cereals. All of them were priced at $2 a box. By buying 15 boxes I could reach the $30 spending mark and qualify for the special sale. Now, right away, I suspect a few of my readers may be snickering a bit. Fifteen boxes of cereal? In one shopping trip? You bet! At my store, these great, high-level money-back sales tend to come around only once every few months or so. When they do, it’s a great opportunity to stock up on the cheap. Cereal is an excellent item to add to your grocery stockpile at home. It typically doesn’t outdate for 11 months or more. And when you buy more, you save more. I always take advantage of these sales when they come along. And I can’t remember a time when I paid more than a quarter a box for a name-brand cereal. Really. That’s actually the high end of what I’ll pay. I typically pay much less than that for cereal, as you’ll see during my story of this $30/$15 sale. As I entered the cereal aisle, I was on the lookout for in-store coupons. It’s always a good idea to scan for coupons that may be in dispensers or on the shelves of your supermarket. When I see coupons for products I like I always take a few, because I will have those coupons on hand next time a sale comes around. Sometimes, the coupon you need to sweeten a deal is hanging right in front of you on the shelf. Keep your eyes open! That was the case with my cereal buy. As I added 15 boxes to my
cart, I spied a tear pad of $1 coupons for the cereal hanging on the shelf right under the boxes. So, I took 15 of them. I never clean out a store of coupons; there are typically more than a hundred coupons on a tear pad. Don’t be afraid to take what you will use! Remember, coupons are placed there in the hope that you will use them and try the prodBy Jill Cataldo uct. I headed to the register with my 15 boxes of $2 cereal and 15 $1 coupons. The cashier scanned my cereal and the register total came to $30. I handed the cashier my $1 coupons; after they were redeemed, my bill was $15. I paid $15… and I received $15 back in Catalina coupons good for my next shopping trip. So, I got back the same amount of money I spent on the cereal. My 15 boxes of cereal are, essentially, free. I’ve stressed this point in previous columns but I can’t say it often enough: shoppers must think of coupons as cash. They are essentially a form of cash, for shoppers and for the stores where we do business. When a supermarket has a sale like a “Spend $30, get $15 back,” shoppers still spend $30 on the items. My $1 coupons “paid” for $15 of my $30 spending and the store will get that $15 back from the manufacturer when it redeems the coupons. The $15 in Catalina coupons that I received function just like cash in the store. They’re good for anything I want to buy on my next shopping trip. So, I view this as having exchanged one form of cash for another… but I’m still holding the $15 in my hand that I just paid for the cereal. It’s just in the form of a coupon now. And you know how much I love coupons!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
$2675
Against variance in Wilmington
What is frivolous?
To the editor: As residents/property owners in Wilmington we, the undersigned, are very concerned about the proposed development of land adjacent to the Wilmington town beach. As we understand it, on the 8+ acre parcel in question, the current zoning law would allow 8 buildings/16 units. The project developer proposes 9 buildings/27 units. The additional 11 units are the reason a variance is necessary and that is the only issue. In our opinion allowing this variance would have a negative effect on a unique part of Wilmington. One of the joys of living in Wilmington is its natural beauty. The mountains and the AuSable River are two major natural features that define our community. Our town beach, a part of the river known as Lake Everest, is Wilmington’s gem. It is open to all for swimming, paddling, fishing, picnicking, musical entertainment, and other gatherings. The river is already showing signs of stress and we believe that adding this density of housing so near the beach would not be in the community’s best interest. Sixteen units would be acceptable under the present zoning ordinance. Allowing this variance would set a dangerous precedent that would have negative effects on the future of our town. Recently we have seen the purchase of land by developers. If this trend continues and the board is lax in its application of our land use ordinance, are we opening Pandora’s box to overdevelopment? We wonder if that is what the majority of Wilmington residents want. We enjoy the quality of life in Wilmington and are not against progress, but due to the size of this project we implore the board to deny this variance application. There will be a public hearing on this proposal on Wednesday, February 17, 2010, at 7 p.m. at Whiteface Ski Center. We hope that the people of Wilmington will attend to voice their opinions whether they agree or disagree with our viewpoint. Only Wilmington residents may speak at the hearing.
To the editor: At the January 2010 Elizabethtown Board Meeting, Mr. Ken Fenimore introduced a motion to prevent Elizabethtown from sending a representative to the NY State Association of Towns conference in NY City. Mr. Fenimore said it was a frivolous expense that gave nothing back to our town, though he himself has never attended the conference. For the past few years Mr. Joe Martin has represented our town at this conference. He uses his own vacation time and has attended classes and workshops on the latest innovations in town government and planning. He also meets with other NY Town leaders, and he has voted on NY State Association of Towns policies. But last year when Joe Martin arrived at the conference he learned that he could not represent Elizabethtown or vote because our Supervisor had not paid the town’s annual dues. Participation and membership in the Association of Towns is built into our town budget but it appears the Elizabethtown Board wants to remain isolated and uninformed. It seems that new ideas and information are not welcome here in Elizabethtown. It cost the town $800 to send a representative to this three day conference. This is a small price to pay for training that allows our leaders to keep abreast of new laws, grants and the ever-changing State regulations. It costs far more than that to frivolously keep the Golf Course maintenance shed open and heated through the winter. Perhaps Mr. Hutchins could volunteer to give up the $636 town salary he receives for the two months of vacation he takes when he goes to Florida every winter. Doesn’t Mr. Fenimore consider getting paid, while on extended vacation, to be frivolous? I don’t believe Elizabethtown taxpayers receive any significant benefit from Mr. Hutchins while he is absent for two months.

eases are known to afflict this plant. Because of its commanding size, this shrub-like perennial makes a beautiful specimen on its own or in small groupings. It is commonly used as a backdrop in perennial borders, but also works well in native or meadow plantings. Deer usually do not bother Baptisia, and it attracts butterflies. Because I like facts, one of the things I like most about Baptisia is the plants history. Early Americans used this plant as a substitute for true indigo, which grows in the West Indies and was used to make blue dye. In fact, Baptisia was the first agricultural crop ever to be subsidized in America!

E
very year, the Perennial Plant Association selects one perennial to be the plant of the year. The perennial selected must be suitable for a wide range of climate types, low maintenance, easily propagates, and exhibit multiple seasonal interest. The 2010 perennial of the year is Baptisia australis or Blue False Indigo, which is a showy native species typically found in prairies, meadows, stream banks, and in open woodlands. This popular perennial blooms in mid- to late-spring by sending up foot long spires of intense indigo blue flowers. After the flowers fade, the plant still maintains interest in the garden with its trifoliate, soft blue-green foliage and shrub-like form. And, as long as the bees do their job, puffy green seed pods emerge everywhere there was a flower. These seed pods turn a charcoal black when they ripen in the late summer and remain on the plant well into the winter, providing much sought after winter interest in the landscape. Baptisia australis is very easy to grow and requires little maintenance if sited properly. It grows best in full sun, but will tolerate light shade. If it is planted in too much shade, it may not flower and may require staking. Average to poor soil is suitable, as long as it is well-drained. Once established, Baptisia is drought tolerant due to its tough, deep tap root. No serious pests or dis-

Mid-winter arrives in the North Country
I
n the North Country, mid-winter is usually defined by the middle weeks of February, when many local schools typically begin a traditional, mid-winter break. Although it may be difficult for many local residents to believe, we have already passed the mid-point of the season and winter is actually on the wane. It doesn’t seem possible, with snow on the ground, solid ice on the lakes and a below zero nip to the air, that winter is on the way out. Yet, on the calendar, spring arrives on March 20, only 35 days distant. However, there remain a wealth of opportunities available for locals to get out and enjoy the winter season with a variety of classes, courses and events in the region that provide individuals the opportunity to learn or refine new outdoor skills. I am always encouraged to learn of the numerous programs in the region that help to connect local children and their families to the pleasures and treasures of the Adirondacks. Saranac Lake, which is now in its 113th year of hosting the longest-running, winter carnival in the nation, has a full schedule of events planned to get local folks outside. The annual frying pan toss is always a crowd favorite. For a complete Carnival schedule and agenda visit www.saranaclakewintercarnival.com or call the Chamber at 891-1990 for further information. The counties of Clinton and Franklin have also developed an outstanding listing of local recreational resources that are available online at http://www.scribd.com/doc/11954129/getMoving-Guide-to-Physical Activity. The website features a variety of local events and programs that allow local residents to remain active and healthy.
Guides, Gander Mountain and Frisbee Golf in Mid-Winter One of my favored programs, the 4-H Adirondack Guide Program, is again being offered in Northern Warren County and sponsored by Cornell University Cooperative Extension. An orientation meeting for the program is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Cornell University Coopera-
tive Extension Education Center, 377 Schroon River Road in Warrensburg. The Adirondack Guide Program is designed for boys and girls (12-18 years old) who would like to explore, in depth, natural resource related topics. The program gives teenagers an opportunity to gain knowledge in the biological sciences and develop teaching and leadership skills. It is conducted in an informal atmosphere, conducive to building confidence and self-esteem. By acquiring new outdoor skills, participants also develop new recreational outlets they can share with friends and family. Participants can advance from the Apprentice Guide level, through Intermediate, to full Senior 4-H Adirondack Guide status while working with licensed Adirondack Guides, Forest Rangers, Fish and Wildlife Biologists, Foresters and skilled woodsmen. Activities include field trips and classes, canoe and hiking trips, and community service projects. Topics taught include map and compass reading; canoeing; tree, plant, flower and wildlife identification; environmental teaching techniques; woods lore and safety; first aid and lifeguard training; outdoor clothing and equipment; wilderness trip coordination, and global positioning systems (GPS). For more information, or to register, call the Cornell Cooperative Extension office at 623-3291 or 668-4881. For further information, ask to speak with John Bowe. At the Pok-O-MacCready Outdoor Education Center in Willsboro, their annual Winter Break Camp, hosted from Feb. 15-19, will feature winter activities, including snow tubing, winter hiking, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing. The facility also has a Winter Family Weekend planned for Feb. 19-22 and a course on ice climbing set for Feb. 20. Visit www.pmoec.org for program details or call 963-7967.

Lorentz, who now makes his home in Round Lake, N.Y., has a doctorate in music from NYU and has performed at Radio City Music Hall, CBGB’s, The Mercury Lounge, Blue Note, and other well-known venues. Admission is $6 and includes coffee and refreshments. Audience members are encouraged to bring their own mugs. This Coffee House will also feature a new babysitting service.

Parents must bring children upstairs to sign them in ad out during the event. There will not be pre-registration for this service. The Coffee House Series at the Amos and Julia Ward theatre is made possible, in part, with a Developing Community Arts Grant with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program administered locally by the Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks.
