LeRoy Douglas takes case to federal court
11 voices of After Thoughts to benefit local food shelves
Millions sought from APA, Adirondack Council By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com
By Matt Bosley
BLACK BROOK — A man who claims environmental organizations inappropriately influenced the Adirondack Park Agency to take enforcement action against him is bringing his fight to the federal level. LeRoy Douglas, the owner of more than 3,500 acres of land along Silver Lake, filed a complaint in United States Northern New York District Court March 15, claiming communication between members of the Adirondack Council and Adirondack Park Agency staff shows the two entities acted in an illegal conspiracy against him.
“
[The] APA has evolved from a zoning and land planning agency to a State-funded enforcement regime driven by personal agendas and pressure from environmental organizations and zealots...
”
— Excerpt from Leroy Douglas’ lawsuit claim The lawsuit alleges violations of civil rights to privacy and due process, breach of contract, and other claims against the APA, Adirondack Council, and several of their individual members and officials. There are 13 causes of action listed in the suit, most of which seek $5 million each in reparations. Together they total $67.1 million. “In the whole, this is probably more like a $5-7 million lawsuit,” said Douglas’s attorney, Matt Norfolk of the Lake Placid firm Briggs Norfolk, LLC. The APA issued Douglas a non-jurisdictional letter for his subdivision of seven lakefront lots in 2006, but later began an enforcement file against him claiming he widened a road near his property that passes through a wetland area. A hearing on the matter led to a November 2006 settlement requiring Douglas to narrow the road. According to Douglas, APA staff agreed to extend the deadline for the November 2006 settlement to July 2007 because frozen ground prevented work on the road, but the agency decided to re-open enforcement in March 2007, and in doing so, disregarded the settlement agreement. Douglas claims that decision came “at the behest of the Environmentalists, part of a conspiracy between the [APA] Defendants and the Environmentalists, and was done in bad faith without any legitimate motive or justification...”
Accuser unnamed The lawsuit cites a series of e-mails sent to an APA official March 21 and 22, 2007 in which the sender, whose identification is redacted, urges APA enforcement officers to take specific action to re-open enforcement against Douglas and requests copies of any notices sent to him.

After Thoughts, an 11member vocal ensemble based in Peru, will be performing Sunday, March 21 at St. John the Baptist Church in Keeseville, and all the proceeds from their concert will benefit two local food shelves. The group formed in the summer of 2009 and is comprised of experienced and talented singers from other local ensembles such as the Keeseville-Peru Ecumenical Choir and Champlain Valley Voices. They are conducted by Jeanette Woodruff and accompanied by pianist Carol Bachand. Proceeds from Sunday’s concert will be split between the JCEO food shelf in Keeseville and the ACAP food

Essex County to add victim impact panels By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Drunk driving offenders in Essex County will soon be hearing a hard-hitting message closer to home. Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague spoke at the county’s Finance Committee meeting March 15 and said she is working with other departments to start organizing DWI victim impact panels in Essex County. Sprague said she expressed concern to officials in the county’s STOP DWI program about the absence of victim impact panels shortly after being sworn in as District Attorney in January. Victim impact panels are often prescribed as part of sentences for driving while intoxicated and driving while

ability impaired. Offenders are required to sit in on two hour sessions where a panel of victims, their families, emergency responders and remorseful past offenders share their stories. Those assigned to attend a victim impact panel are required to have their blood alcohol levels checked with a breathalizer test on arrival. If they are intoxicated, they risk jail time for contempt of court. “I think it’s a great program; one I’ve been used to having in Clinton County for the past 10 years,” said Sprague. “We’re a little behind the eight ball.” Essex County has never offered victim impact panels. Instead, DWI and DWAI offenders in Essex County must attend in another county. A $25 fee they are required to pay is surrendered to the county where they attend the program.

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

Workshop to give tips for grant seeking
WILLSBORO — An important workshop for not-for-profit organizations and community groups to learn about grantseeking basics will be offered on March 27 at the Willsboro Central School auditorium from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The workshop is part of the “Training to Sustain Heritage Center Operations” workshop series. Paul Mastrodonato, President of Nonprofit Works, will demystify the grantwriting process for entry- and mid-level grantwriters, administrators, and program staff, giving equal attention to the needs and interests of both organizations and grantmakers. Topics will include planning programs and projects before writing grants, understanding what's most important to grantmakers, researching grants, approaching grantmakers prior to applying, preparing information commonly asked for in grant applications, and building a grantseekers tool kit to help save time. Participants will receive Word and Excel templates to help them develop grant proposals. To register for the workshop please contact Drew Alberti, Lakes to Locks Passage Project Manager, at 637-4690 or info@lakestolocks.com.

When his NutriShop store opened in October, Bob Fiske was still employed full time as a pilot. But, since mid December, Bob has retained full management of the business and, since January, is no longer employed as a pilot. His efforts are taking off. For Bob, the best part of that success is getting more in touch with his customers. “I have really enjoyed getting to know our customers more, and helping them to identify the things that will help them get maximum results for their efforts in exercise, weight loss, and just over all good health.” When the opportunity to invest in a sports nutrition and wellness store was presented to Bob, he saw it as purely a good financial investment. Always a believer in exercise and fitness with an avid interest in nutrition, it was not a hard sell. He began to research the products he himself took to beef up his workouts and assure results. The outcome of his research, led him to Katalyst, VitaSport, and NuTek products, all having an exclusive license for distribution through NUTRISHOP™. NutriShop is one of the fastest growing retail nutrition chains today, offering consumers all the top brands and the latest cutting edge supplements. When Bob agreed to finance the opening of New York State’s first NutriShop, he was confident that he was backing the best possible products for everyone from the occasional or wannabe exerciser, to the most advanced, including body-builders, Iron Man athletes, and serious competitors in virtually every sport. Locally, NutriShop is sponsoring OCB “The Uprising”, a bodybuilding and figure competition on Saturday, March 27th, (tickets are available at the store); as well as USBF Battle in the Burgh, a pro am show on May 29th, and; The City of Plattsburgh’s first HalfMarathon on April 18th. The store is located at 47 Smithfield Boulevard, easy to access, and well stocked. In addition to sports nutrition and weight loss, the store stocks vitamins, tee shirts and supplies, magnetic therapy items, refrigerated sports beverages, quality snacks, teas, and gluten-free products. In addition, Bob and his staff are happy to ship product anywhere in the United States.

ast week, the NCSPCA highlighted some interesting facts about dog intelligence. Our focus this week is the intelligence of cats. Your finicky feline may be more like you than you know, based on the information that follows. Research has demonstrated that cat brains have been shown to be actually more similar to human brains than dog brains, although many people equate dogs' personalities as being closer to humans'. In addition, the part of the brain for emotions is the same in both cats and humans. When your cat seems grumpy or upset, he is probably feeling much the same as you do! It is proven that cats learn by trial and error, observation, and imitation. Your sociable cat may learn habits - both bad and good - from watching his peers. Cats retain certain information, particularly visual information, much longer than dogs. However, for short term working memory, at least one study showed that dogs outperformed cats for periods of time up to around one minute. Some examples of cat problem-solving abilities: the ability to learn to operate a lever to open a door; learning how to open a clip on a bag of snacks; learning to use a toilet (although this is difficult to teach); and playing fetch. Wikipedia has a good description with abundant details on cat intelligence. Another great resource is www.messybeast.com/intelligence.htm.
Pharaoh Our featured pet this week would love to show you just how smart he is. Pharaoh is not your classic tabby cat - his markings may be familiar, but his luxurious long hair will make you want to sink your fingers into the coat of this "Egyptian god.” He is a handsome, stunning fellow who loves to interact with people and be the center of attention. Pharoah will not only entertain you for hours with fun and games, but will also cuddle up during quiet times or perhaps perch high on your shoulder. Pharoah is the kind of cat who will convert you into a cat-lover! Check out our website, www.ncspca.org, to learn about Pharoah and the many other wonderful pets who are seeking forever homes.

aylight savings time sure makes a big difference in the morning. It takes a week or so to get used to the change in the day light, but it also indicates that spring is very near. It is great to see the open Boquet River that went out with no problems, and there is not a lot of snow left to cause a lot of flooding, let’s hope it stays that way. Lake Champlain still looks very cold, but there are a few brave people that are planning a Spring Fling Polar Plunge for Planned Parenthood Mohawk Hudson. This event will take place down off Steven Kellogg’s Lake House in Essex Saturday, March 30 between 10 and 11 a.m. The brave ones are looking for sponsors and persons to pledge for the cause, call Kathy Reinhardt for more information. For the not-so-brave persons, there is another great opportunity for local and area groups that are looking for tips on grant-seeking basics. A workshop is being offered March 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., to be held in the Willsboro School Auditorium. A great and knowledgeable presenter will come to assist groups in how to construct a well written grant. There is a $15 charge for the program and it includes lunch, you are asked to register by logging on to www.nonprofitworks.com. The Barnyard Follies was a smash hit this
past weekend at the Willsboro United Methodist Church, it was a great cast and crew and gave us an evening of much laughter. A reminder of a great program to be presented on Friday, March 18 at the Visitor’s Center: The Heintz’s will present a program on the Old Grist Mill; they are the present owners. This is a Willsboro Heritage program and the public is invited; it starts at 7 p.m. Don’t forget to get your census forms mailed in this week, also you are urged to fill out a local survey for the Comprehensive planning committee on the future make up of our community. Word has been received that a former pastor from our area, Rev. David White, is very ill. He is now down living near his children. We’re wishing him the best as he undergoes treatments. The family of Ronald Strong is most grateful to all that reached out to them at the time of Ron’s illness and death. They were most appreciative of the great care he got at the hospital the last days of his life and the care the family received also. The whole family sends their appreciation to all that reached out to them.

Rob Ivy • ivy@westelcom.com This past week I heard the first red-wing blackbirds of the season, and Amy says she heard bluebirds singing. Red-wings certainly don’t sing, but bluebirds have a delightful song, much like a robin’s. This is a good time to put out bluebird houses, as the birds are here and are checking out nesting sites. On Saturday, March 20, there will be a swim in Lake Champlain to benefit Planned Parenthood. The “Polar Plunge,” as it’s called, will be held at Steven Kellogg’s lake house just north of the hamlet at 10 a.m. Call 963-8038 to sign up or to sponsor a plunger. Several events are coming up at the Belden Noble Library in Essex, with Jan Eakins speaking March 25 at 7:30 p.m. on “Communication: The Printing Revolution to the American Revolution.” This talk is free and refreshments will be served. Basic computer skill training aimed at seniors will be offered on March 24 and March 31. The subject on the 24th will be the internet and email, and on the 31st health sleuth; both programs run from 1-4 p.m. Call the library at 963-8079 for more information. This is an excellent time of year to prune trees and shrubs. Pruning done now will
invigorate plants, while pruning done after leaf-out will inhibit growth. When pruning apple and other fruit trees, make a mild solution of bleach and water to dip your cutting tools into. This will prevent moving diseases from limb to limb or tree to tree. My job with the Census is on hold for a few weeks until the next phase starts in. So far, we’ve been going door to door distributing questionnaires and checking addresses. Without getting specific, I can state that 99% of the local citizenry I encountered are genuinely friendly and helpful. At a few places, the residents are plainly at home but ignore the knock on the door, and at other places the conversations get so interesting it’s hard to pull yourself away. Many people seem to spend their days in their pajamas, and it’s rare to find a house without several dogs. Speaking of dogs, Ginny went for her first swim of the year last Saturday. She has a favorite spot in a brook where the water runs deep, and on a walk with me, she just jumped in, splashed about, and then ran in wide exuberant circles around the hay field. After drying her off, she retreated to her bed for a long nap.

hey say fools rush in where angels fear to tread, so I thought I'd jump into the current brouhaha over the school budget. Usually in this column I try to present the issues rather than argue one particular side, but on this issue I'll say up front that, burdensome as our taxes feel to us, I think we're getting good value for our money. A comparison of our 2009-2010 school budget (about $5 million) with the budgets of the five other schools in the area of comparable size would seem to bear this out. Those schools are Willsboro, E'town-Lewis, Schroon Lake, Crown Point, and Keene. Two of them, Willsboro and E'town-Lewis, have slightly more students than we do, yet their budgets are far, far larger than ours—a budget increase of $2.5 to $3 million pays for only about 20-40 more students. Even more dramatically, three of these schools (Schroon Lake, Crown Point, and Keene) have smaller student bodies than ours but significantly larger budgets. One of them, Schroon Lake, has almost 30 students fewer than we do, but a budget that's nearly $2.5 million higher. And Keene has more than 100 fewer students, with a budget that outstrips ours by over $100,000. In fact, of the six schools in the area with enrollments of around 100-300 students, our budget is the flat-out lowest, while our enrollment is the third largest. And, as recent stories in this newspaper have shown, our record of achievement is outstanding
by any standard, including a graduation rate of 100 percent, nationally recognized academic results, and an inspiring athletic program. This sort of success isn't just one year's fluke, but a consistent result year after year. My guess is that few residents have more trouble paying their taxes than I do. I'm always behind, and I'm struggling to hang on to a family property that I never could have afforded to purchase on my own. The taxes astonished me when I moved in more than a decade ago, and they've tripled since then. As a professional writer, the bottom line for me is that if I don't land a decent book contract this year I'm probably done. (Despite the horrible state of the publishing industry, I have a good shot, I think, but that's a different story). Yet, I also accept that a tax burden is something that comes with civilization, and with the social contract between citizens and government. More than that, I've seen first hand what our school means to us, and to our children. I'm not saying that our budget is always perfect, or that our school board or our school itself are perfect. They are human institutions, and they are subject to the usual human imperfections. But, in comparison with our neighbors, we're getting the biggest bang for the buck around. And not just by a little, but by a lot. In other words, I think they're doing a great job for us.

WADHAMS — Joseph Kozma, 94, passed away peacefully March 11, 2010 at CVPH in Plattsburgh, N.Y., with his family by his side. He was four days away from being 95. Joe was born in Witherbee, N.Y., on March 14, 1915 to Raymond and Mary Kozma. He was the oldest son of eight children. He graduated from Mineville High School in 1934 and later attended the Milwaukee School of Engineering in Milwaukee, Wis. Although he never went on for further formal education, he never stopped learning or teaching. When he went to work in the machine shop at Republic Steel, in Mineville, N.Y, he taught adult education classes at the Fisher Hill Machine Shop. He was proud of being a Scoutmaster until he moved to Wadhams, N.Y. On April 21, 1943, Joe married Ethel Lobdell at her home in Wadhams, N.Y. Joe and Ethel devoted their lives to their community and church. Joe was an active member of the United Church of Christ in Wadhams, N.Y., The National Grange in Wadhams, NY, a charter member of the Wadhams Fire Company as well as the Fraternal Order of the Free and Accepted Masons. Joe was a 4-H leader in Essex County, NY for over 20 years. He was a member of the Cumberland Bay Barbershop Chorus for many years. He was also a photographer who specialized in Wedding Albums. He was an active Amateur Radio Operator . WA2NKI signed off quite a few years ago. He was also a member of Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) for many years. Joe was predeceased by his father, Raymond; his mother, Mary; his brothers, Alex and Steve; and his sister, Olga.

He is also survived by several nieces and nephews. One of Joe's greatest gifts was writing letters to friends and family. When you received a letter from Joe, you were always inspired and felt that you were important to him. There will a celebration of Joe's life sometime in the Spring at a date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice in Joe's memory. We can hear him saying, "Everything here is A-OK!"

ADIRONDACK CRYPTOGRAM
SATURDAY March 20, 2010
The gift of not taking things personnally E
veryone has been insulted or hurt along the way and most have had this experience many times. Some stay stuck in their anger or sadness for protracted periods where, if unchallenged, they can literally make themselves sick. After knowing a few people that should be angry or sad in my opinion, but are not, I have concluded that the difference is in them, not in the parties that have hurt them or the sometimes horrific events that they have encountered. Ostensibly, they have learned how to shift out of that noisy and troublesome, stuck place. After much reading and practicing, I still get stuck, however much less often. I try not to read into things and to take things much less personally. The principal rewards are sound self-awareness and clarity of purpose. Being grounded in the knowledge that only you can determine if you are happy, successful and peaceful is a powerful reward. Eleanor Roosevelt was quoted as saying, “No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.” Everyone can get to this transcendental state and, in doing so, model this change for your children and for those around you. An important departure in thinking is to closely examine the things that we tell ourselves. Sometimes this inner dialogue has little to do with reality. Do you sometimes feel that you are just “too sensitive” and some people are just mean or that you are left out? If these and other negative stories are replayed with some frequency, be aware of these reoccurring themes. Try re-
placing the negative stories with a translation that is more positive or more neutral. Accept that not everyone will like you. Many others will. What is really important is your approval of your own values and behaviors. Start each day in a way that honors you. Take a walk, a run, some quiet time journaling; listen to soothing music or other activity that By Scot Hurlburt makes you feel good. This small step can be very empowering and will set a positive tone for the day. When all else fails, listen, really listen to yourself and others. Once you do, you can shift out of arresting anger and sadness. You will have acquired an important tool that will see you through no matter what happens to you. “Being aware that the person you become along the way is more important than what happens along the way.” Remember, all kids count.

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

Study concludes road salt is threatening trees, wells, wildlife By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Road salt, according to a recent study, is not only deteriorating bridges and pavement and corroding vehicles, but it’s killing trees, threatening water supplies and degrading the environment over the long term. The study was conducted by the Adirondack Watershed Institute and funded by ADK Action. It’s the third such report released in the last year that calls for changes in the way ice and snow is managed along highways. Daniel Kelting of the Watershed Institute said that excessive salt use results in significant damage to both natural and man-made environments. “We think the water, plants and wildlife of the Adirondack Park deserve special treatment from roads crews to protect them from harm,” Kelting said, noting that salt also damages roads, bridges, vehicles and buildings — and is contaminating wells that provide drinking water. The study indicates that salt levels in some Adirondack lakes — particularly those near roadways — contain up to 50 times or more the chloride than they should naturally.
Sodium Chloride in Schroon Lake is about 11 times it’s desirable level, according to the report. One of the study’s recommendations is the creation of a “salt sensitivity map.” The map would visualize specific areas where drinking water, plant-life and animal habitats are at particular risk. “Creating an official salt-sensitivity map is the logical first step toward better protections,” Kelting said. Two previous studies were commissioned by the Adirondack Council and the University of Maine. The studies indicate that roadside trees are dying in ever-greater numbers due to road salt, and that salt runoff into waterways may be encouraging chloride-resistant invasive species — such as milfoil and zebra mussels — to spread and choke out more sensitive native plants. Also, high chloride levels have been shown to damage lake ecosystems, contributing to algal blooms, eutrophication, and damage to fish and native aquatic plants. The salt study revealed that the state DOT currently applies more road salt than any other state, about 950,000 tons of road salt annually, or an average of about 22 tons per lane- mile. Lee Keet, chair of the water quality commit-
could save the state millions of dollars per year. “While many of these alternatives may cost more up-front, they can mitigate many of the long-term environmental and infrastructure costs that we face with continued overuse of salt,” Houseal said. The University of Maine study recommends investing in porous asphalt that allows de-icing chemicals to soak through to collection pools underneath road surfaces to prevent runoff. In addition to the environmental impact of road salt, the material also causes significant harm to motor vehicles. Annual nationwide damage by road salt is estimated to be $11.7 billion to private vehicles and $26 billion total when including damage to roadways and other infrastructure. Some of the major findings in the study include that most state highway officials don’t recommend the use of road salt at temperatures under 15 degrees; preventive anti-icing measures can reduce costs by more than 50 percent over after-the-fact salt spreading; and half of vehicle corrosion can be attributed to the regular use of road de-icing salts. The full study can be viewed at adk-action.org.

tee for ADK Action, said his group will be lobbying to reduce salt use. “We are paying an immeasurable cost in reduced property values and tourism,” he said. “We cannot continue to ignore the deleterious effects road salt has on human and animal health.” The watershed institute report contains research showing the negative effects that chlorine and sodium contamination have on water quality. The report details some of the alternatives to road salt that are being employed in other states. The study recommends substituting Magnesium Chloride, noting that it is not only more effective than road salt at lower temperatures, but it also has beneficial effects on forests and soils — but, it is considerably more expensive. Brian Houseal, executive director of the Adirondack Council, said it is important to be realistic about road salt. “We cannot just stop using road salt tomorrow,” he said. “But we need to start protecting our most sensitive places now.” The state Department of Transportation is already proposing to reduce its salt usage as a means to save costs. Part of the DOT’s 2010-11 budget calls for careful monitoring of the quantity of salt used by snow plow drivers. It’s estimated that a significant reduction in salt usage

Martino: APRAP shows Doctors impact local need for development economy, study finds By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — A report highlighting demographic trends in the Adirondacks has prompted one of the Adirondack Park Agency’s top officials to speak about the importance of developing more economic opportunity in the region. APA Executive Director Terry This story was first posted Martino released a online at 4 p.m., March 10 three-page on www.Denpubs.com document March 10, offering her perspective on the Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project, a report released last year that details an aging and relatively poor population living in an area with not much land available for developing business and industry. “The APRAP assessment provides an important foundation for us to be proactive in improving the park’s communities,” said Martino. “With creative focus, we can determine how to weather economic downturns and build the economy based on the park’s special character.” Prior to taking her current position in July 2008, Martino, was executive director of the Adirondack North Country Association, one of the major co-sponsors for the APRAP. “From the outset, we believed the assessment would provide facts we could agree upon as the basis for future planning discussions by park stakeholders,” she said. The report quantified what many Adirondack residents had suspected. The median age of 43 within the park is well above state and national averages and rising rapidly. Meanwhile, school enrollment is declining at alarming rates, down 31 percent since 1970. With over 40 percent of the park owned by the state, 20 percent under conservation easement, and another 15 percent already in use, only 25 percent of land in the Adirondacks is available for development, the assessment stated. Less than one half of one percent of the 6 million-acre park is used for commercial or industrial purposes. “While some trends in the report raise concerns, there was purposely no interpretation of the data to draw conclusions about

Terry Martino causes,” Martino stated, arguing that to attribute the issues solely to the impact of state land ownership and private land regulations is going too far. She pointed to similar trends in other geographically similar areas, such as the Tug Hill Plateau and the Northern Forest portions of New England. Ultimately, said Martino, the APRAP highlights the need to merge economic growth with environmental protection and find creative ways to do business in a heavily protected setting. “For our region to truly benefit from the APRAP research, we need more focused effort on how to build and sustain park communities,” said Martino. Some of the major issues to tackle are how to adapt business and development strategies to the park’s aging population while also making the area more attractive for youth and young families, Martino said, and reducing local tax burdens. Potential approaches Martino mentioned included expansion of entrepreneurship, gearing educational programs more toward regional economic opportunities, investing more in the maintenance of open space, encouraging more local food production, and improving infrastructure such as roads, broadband internet, and municipal water and sewer. “These are opportunities which, I am pleased to say, the Adirondack Park Agency endorses,” she said.
ALBANY — A major economic study focused on private practice physicians in New York State indicates that the estimated 20 physician practices in Essex County are driving $13 million into the county’s economy through the employment of 152 physicians and staff members. The study was developed by Specialized Analytics and Kavet, Rockler & Associates, a Storrs, CT, research organization, and was funded by the Medical Society of the State of New York. According to the study, each private practice physician’s office in Essex County employs an average of eight individuals with each practice putting an average of $663 thousand into the economy. “This translates into real money going into the local economy to pay the rent or mortgage, buy groceries, put gas in the car and buy from local retailers,” commented Dr. Leah McCormack, President-Elect of MSSNY and chair of the economic study. “While the focus of local physicians and their staff is al-

the agency gave preferential treatment to the Adirondack Council and other environmental organizations by allowing them to communicate directly with certain APA staff. Douglas claims the agency gave into the environmentalists’ demands, bringing a meritless and malicious enforcement that subjected him to unnecessary searches of his property and violated his Fourteenth Amendment right to due process. “[The] APA has evolved from a zoning and land planning agency to a State-funded enforcement regime driven by personal agendas and pressure from environmental organizations and zealots... who seek to prevent private property owners from building sensible, needed projects that in no way threaten the environment, even where there is clearly no law or regulation against them,” the lawsuit claims, “and who seek to extract or remove the human population from the Adirondack State Park, or at the very least, corral the human population to limited places in the Park.” Adirondack Council spokesman John Sheehan said March 16 that the organization had yet to receive any formal copies of the suit, but that word of it had reached them. “Essentially, we believe that most of the suit does not apply to us, given that we are not a state agency, and that the remainder is meritless,” Sheehan said. APA spokesman Keith McKeever said March 16 the agency had also not yet been served with a copy of the lawsuit, and thus, had no comment.
From page 1 Adirondack Council attorney Malcolm B. O’Hara filed a motion to dismiss that case, arguing that the organization acted within its First Amendment rights to petition their government and in accordance with its mission of ecological conservation. Also, said O’Hara, Douglas and Norfolk can’t prove any Adirondack Council officers communicated with the APA because “any such communications would be judicially protected.” Norfolk disagrees, however, arguing the e-mails don’t fall under the protection of the First Amendment and should be produced in their entirety. “Anyone can go and make a complaint,” said Norfolk, “but this goes beyond a complaint; these were directives, and they were directives that were followed.” The first lawsuit is still pending in Essex County Supreme Court, but Norfolk suggested it could become consolidated with the new case at the federal level.
APA also targeted “There are huge differences between the case in state court and this case,” said Norfolk, noting how the first lawsuit simply alleged the Adirondack Council had wrongfully interfered with the settlement agreement. The new lawsuit, in contrast, also names the APA and some of its officials, claiming

leviating pain and getting people better, we seldom recognize that these team members also participate in the local community, help their kids with homework, vote in the local election and are part of the local economic backbone.” Private practice physician offices in Essex County put an estimated $87,136 per employee into the local economy, the study said. This, in turn, spins off an estimated $9,602 per employee to fund schools, police and fire departments, road maintenance and other municipal and county services through local taxes. Almost the same amount is generated to pay state taxes. On average, each of New York’s 18,000plus private practices has nine employees. Data indicates that an additional four people are employed in support of each private practice physician’s office. According to the study, private practice physician offices rank second in the state in terms of total business establishments and sixth in terms of total employment.

Thespians bring ‘Good News’ to Elizabethtown By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Roaring Twenties will come to life here March 26-28 as the Elizabethtown Social Center presents its 2010 musical, “Good News.” A cast of six adults and 21 students in grades 6-12 will grace the stage at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, appearing as cheerleaders, flappers and football players in the classic show by B.G. DeSylva, Lew Brown and Ray Henderson that portrays life on a 1920s college campus. “I’ve always wanted to do a 1920s show,” said director Susan Hughes. “I considered a couple of others and decided that the selling point to doing this show was the songs that many people will be familiar with.” Indeed, “Good News” is the source of well-liked songs such as “You’re the Cream in my Coffee,” “Keep Your Sunny Side Up,” and “The Best Things in Life are Free.” Paul Burdo stars as Tom Marlowe, the star of Tait College’s football team who’s expected to lead them to victory in the big game. When Tom neglects his studies and fails his Astronomy final, however, it seems the victory is in grave jeopardy. Fortunately, the shy but studious part-time school librarian, Connie Lane, played by Clare Harwood, steps in to tutor him. The two eventually fall in love, but the daughter of one of the college's wealthiest benefactors, Patricia Bingham, played by Kim Hughes, continues to vie for Tom’s heart. “It’s about things that happen in a real school,” Kim said. “It’s things that we’ve all seen before.” Meanwhile, Tom’s coach falls for the Astronomy professor and a bewitching flapper by the name of Babe O’Day

draws the attention of virtually the rest of the football team. “It’s definitely a comedy,” Kim added. “There are very few serious moments.” Karin DeMuro leads choreography for the show’s abundant dancing, including the Charleston and the “Varsity Drag.” Musical accompaniment will be provided by Mary Lu Kirsty on piano, Hans Himelein on woodwinds, Brad Egglefield on trumpet and Warren Gallic on percussion.
Susan said “Good News” has rarely, if ever, been performed in the North Country, but that it is still likely to charm audiences. “I think they will enjoy the fact that they have heard many of the songs, and also that it is a high-energy show with a lot of comedy,” said Susan. Performances are scheduled for March 26 and 27 at 7 p.m. and March 28 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults, $3 for students, or $20 per family.

KEENE VALLEY — Keene Central School’s auditorium will feel more like the Globe Theatre next week when students there present their production of William Shakespeare’s play, “Much Ado About Nothing.” Joy McCabe and Bob Andrews direct the Shakespearian comedy that features 23 students in grades 9-12 as actors. “Much Ado About Nothing” follows the antics of Don Pedro, a prince who arrives victorious from battle in a Sicilian seaside village with his men, Claudio and Benedick. Claudio rekindles his love for Hero, the only daughter of the village’s governor, and the two quickly make plans to marry. First, however, Claudio and Hero attempt a scheme to trick her cousin, Beatrice, and Benedick into confessing love for one another. Meanwhile, the jealous Don John, the prince’s illegitimate brother, works to derail the coming wedding. A series of deceptions create tensions that ultimately resolve to a joyous ending. “I’ve always wanted to do it because it’s one of Shakespeare’s plays that has tragedy, comedy, music and drama,” said McCabe. And it’s the play’s music that will be particularly unique in this production. Local musician Chris Kowanko lent his hand to setting lyricized songs in the play to music. Six student musicians perform Kowanko’s arrangements as the songs are sung, coincidentally, by his daughter, Anna. Also, two student directors, Brittany Guerin and Kayla Hebert, have assisted in
the production. “In our small school, it is somewhat expected that everybody will be involved,” McCabe said, noting that different responsibilities are available to most every student. “I think they take a lot of pride in the fact that this is their show; this is the high school show.” McCabe noted the arduous task of delivering the lines of a Shakespearean play in a way that audience members can appreciate the often subtle jokes, but said that the cast is well-prepared for the challenge. “It’s a comedy” said Luke Andrews, who plays Benedick. “It’s Shakespeare, so I guarantee a lot of the humor will go over people’s heads, but most of it will be very good.” “Ms. McCabe has really helped drill the material into our heads,” said Tiger Smith, who plays Don Pedro. McCabe, an English teacher at the school, has an affinity for Shakespeare, he noted. McCabe showed cast members the 1993 film adaptation of “Much Ado About Nothing” to help them gain an appreciation and understanding of the play. Sam Balzac, who plays Claudio, said that helped a lot. Overall, both youth and adults involved with the production are promising an entertaining and worthwhile performance. “When people think of Shakespeare, they think of really dark, serious plays,” said Kevin Stolz, who plays Leonato, the village governor, “but it’s funny; it’s not serious. Even the prose and the poetry is beautiful.” All performances begin at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium. Ticket prices are $8 for adults and $4 for students. Tickets are half price, $4 adults and $2 students, for returned visits to the show.

Supervisors lobby federal leaders Block party subhead if you have one By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Local officials trekked to the nation’s capital recently to seek federal help. Essex County Board of Supervisor Chairman Randy Douglas of Jay, Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, Schroon Supervisor Cathy Moses and Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider traveled to Washington, D.C., looking for assistance with grants and projects in their communities and the county. “It was a great opportunity to meet with our representatives year and garner support for the needs of the towns and county,” Kosmider said. “Though the economy is slumped, all agree that with the (federal) representatives’ help major improvements and projects can become finished assets to the taxpayers.” The supervisors attended the National Association of Counties Organization conference. They met with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s staff, Rep. Scott Murphy, Rep. Bill Owens’ staff and Sen. Chuck Schumer. Kosmider said Schumer offered hep securing federal stimulus money for local projects. “Stimulus money is better than grant money because it brings jobs to the area and is obtained through sending an appropriations request form to the representative,”
Local officials recently visited Washington, D.C., to seeking federal assistance with local projects. From left are Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, Essex County Board of Supervisor Chairman Randy Douglas of Jay, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Schroon Supervisor Cathy Moses and Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider. Kosmider said. “Commanding privacy, the senator (Schumer) was ducking media to meet with us. An elusive run through the Rotunda, down an elevator through a narrow passageway to an office, his power was felt by all and his hospitality was unsurpassed.” Gillibrand’s staff took the Essex County group on a quick tour of the Capital Building. “Magnificent in its structure, the history and art work within its walls were captured in photo by the quad,” Kosmider said. “Though the senator tried to arrange her schedule to attend the meeting, she was unable to be there but her
staff stayed focused on the needs of the county and towns and promised to respond.” Murphy, who represents all towns except Crown Point, promised to assist all of Essex County — including Crown Point — in an way possible. Moses thanked him for all the projects he’d supported in the past in Schroon Lake, especially the water/wastewater upgrade. Owens’ staff met with the of the local supervisors. They listened to the requests ranging from keeping Moriah Shock open to making sure the Lake Champlain bridge project is completed.

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