Senate budget would close Moriah Shock, de-fund ORDA By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com The New York State Senate released a $136 billion spending plan Monday that includes prison closures and a $7 million cut to the Olympic Regional Development Authority. Lawmakers say the plan softens some of the cuts proposed in Gov. David Paterson’s 2010-11 Executive Budget. The senate plan does not affect state parks or historic sites. Sponsored by Senate Majority Leader John Sampson and Finance Committee Chairman Carl Kruger, the preliminary 2010-11 Legislative Budget features $3 billion more in appropriations than Paterson’s $133 billion plan. The preliminary senate budget would close three upstate prisons — the Moriah Shock Correctional Facility, Lyon Mountain Correctional Facility and Butler Correctional Facility — within the next 12 months. Kruger said cuts need to be made somewhere. “This budget is about priorities,” Kruger said. “It is about doing everything in our power to enact a fair and responsible budget.” The senate budget spares the medium security Ogdensburg facility — the largest of the four slated for closure in the proposed executive budget. The facility falls within Democratic Senator Darrel Aubertine’s district. Republican John DeFrancisco said the $1.5 billion in oneshots and spin-ups in the Democratic proposal are only partisan gimmicks. He blasted Democrats for keeping Republicans largely in the dark while making cuts in GOP districts. “This product by the way was presented to us in draft form for the first time yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock and in final form, today at 2 o’clock,” DeFrancisco said. “That’s only an hour before this particular session started.” If adopted, the proposal would also slash over $7 million in ORDA funding. This particular budget amendment blindsided Sen. Betty Little. “The proposed complete elimination of state funding for ORDA is the biggest surprise today,” Little said. “ORDA and Lake Placid attract hundreds of thousands of tourists, so I

Essex Ferry back in service By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ESSEX — Those wanting to cross Lake Champlain at a more central location will now be able to do so.

The crossing, which has traditionally run year-round, was closed Feb. 2 after its winter-worthy ferries were diverted to the Plattsburgh-Grand Isle crossing and the new 24-hour, state-subsidized crossing at the former site of the now demolished Crown Point Bridge.

Willsboro student returns to state GeoBee
Bowling tourney benefits local charities WILLSBORO — Saturday, March 27, The Bouquet Valley Women’s League will be hosting a 9-Pin Tournament at Willsborough Lanes with start times at 3 p.m and 6 pm. Registration fees are $20 per person or $40 per two-person team. To register, please contact the Willsborough Bowling Center at 963-8983 or stop in during regular business hours.

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — Austin Ferris is on top of the world – World Geography, that is. Ferris, an eighth-grader at Willsboro Central School, won his school’s competition for National Geographic magazine’s annual Geography Bee and qualified for the state level of the competition. What’s more, this is the second year in a row he’s done so. “I’m very proud of him,” said fourth grade teacher Laura Bridge. “I’ve been in charge of the Geography Bee for the last six years now, and he’s the only one I know of who’s made it to the state level.” “He has a love of knowledge, and he practices a lot,” she added. “It’s a lot of hard work that’s paid off.” Last year, as a seventh-grader, Ferris advanced through eight out of ten rounds of questions in the New York Geography Bee. He’s now looking forward to another shot. “I was very surprised and very happy to go back, if only because I had a lot of fun last year,” said Ferris, “and it will be fun to go back.” Geography Bees are held in grades four through eight in schools throughout the United States. The winner of each school competition takes a test, which is then submitted to the National Geographic Society for review. Only the students that score among the top 100 are invited to compete at the state level. This year ’s New York Geography Bee competition will be held April 9 at the New York State Museum in Albany. Winners at the state level recieve $100, a National Geographic atlas, and a trip to Washington, D.C., to represent their state in the national finals. Ferris said this time he will be working even harder to get himself ready. He’s been accessing the National Geographic Web site, where there are practice questions. “I’ve been looking at most of those and quizzing myself, and just getting prepared,” he said.

owntown Essex is shaking off its long winter slumber with lots of activity at the Neighborhood Nest and a newly arranged Easterthemed window at ReNew. Artists and athletes from our town are in the news. Sally Smith won the annual Cover Art Award contest sponsored by the Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks. Her winning piece is a photograph of a spiral she cut into ice on a pond, while Donna Sonnett took first prize in the two dimensional category with a folk art painting. There is a lot of competition in this contest, so to have two winners is quite an honor. Doug Peden wrote a paper titled “Polar GridField Geometry” which will be published and presented at a conference this June of the International Society of Art, Mathematics, and Architecture. His art is beautiful and abstract, but after studying polar geometry on the internet, all I can say is I’m glad there are people in this world who understand this stuff and are trying to find practical uses for the knowledge. Runners Tim Burke and Luke Barnes were in last week’s 5 kilometer race in Elizabethtown. Tim, who is new to racing, won first place in his age group, trouncing several men only in their fifties. The Essex County Office for the Aging
is signing up eligible low-income seniors for help with reducing Medicare premiums and prescription co-pays. Call 8733695 to see if you qualify. The maple syrup season came to an early and disappointing close this week. The Frenches boiled less than half of last year ’s bumper crop of 22,000 gallons of sap. However, the new sugar house has a kitchen, where it’s rumored that recipes for sugar coated walnuts are being tested. Your correspondent is most interested in this idea and hopes to soon have samples for tasting. The Essex Town Board will now meet twice a month, on the second and fourth Thursdays at 7 p.m. The plan is to meet at the town hall for the first meeting of the month and at the Whallonsburg Grange for the second meeting of the month. Last week’s column moved one reader to notify me that summer pruning doesn’t inhibit tree and shrub growth, but is used to maintain or reduce size. This same sharp-eyed reader pointed out that red-wing blackbirds do have a song, it’s just not one I like. She went on to say that bluebirds sound somewhat like robins, but not “much like” robins. I would have to agree on all these points, and if you have any of your own to make, please send them in.

he calendar told us it was spring, but the powers that be sent us a little snow squall just to remind us that we should not get to excited yet, there could be a little more cold weather in store. I apologize in stating last week that the polar plunge was going to be on March 30, well it was last Saturday 3/20, not sure of the out come. Hats off to the Willsboro United Methodist Church Tween group for a fun weekend adventure this past week. They went to do the climbing wall at PoKo, and then ate at Ricks before spending an over night at the church, arising early Sunday a.m. to make refreshments for the after church adults coffee time. Their two leaders do a wonderful job with the group it is Kim Feeley and Vicki Dickerson. We have a very proud set of local grandparents, Muriel & George Cahill were so proud of their grandson, Lincoln Styles Cahill, who has been awarded his Eagle Scout award from Troop 49 in Peru, N.Y.. Congratulations to Nicole Belzile and Derick Crowningshield on their recent marriage. The couple along with 23 family members and friends took a cruise and the ceremony took place on the ship. They enjoyed a great reception also on the ship and were married by a pastor from the St. Thomas Island, what a neat way to get married. They both reside here in Willsboro. The Town of Willsboro is conducting a survey of housing rehabilitation needs in the community. There is a short sign up survey available at the Town Hall until April 7, Public hearings are set for April 7th at 1 p.m. and again on April 12th at 5:30 p.m.. If there is sufficient needs expressed then a HUD grant will be applied for 2010. If you are interested you need to act soon. The Willsboro Community Housing Assistance Task Force would also like to remind person in need of food shelf assistance, they should check in at the town

hall with the Town Clerk. The food shelf is available between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.., Monday through Friday. This group along with other local organizations do make up Holiday baskets to provide a holiday meal for some with hardships, Easter Baskets will go out soon. Reminder of the Grant writing workshop to be held at the Willsboro Central School Auditorium on Sat. March 27 from 9 to 3 with a $15 fee that includes lunch. This is made possible by the Lakes to Locks committee. Linda Heintz gave a very interesting program on the Old Grist Mill this past week. Another great opportunity is to view the movie “Precious” which won many awards, it will be shown on Sat. March 27 at 7:30 p.m. also at the Willsboro School Auditorium with a $5 charge for adults & $2 for under 18. Lenten season is fast coming to a close, the Psalm Sunday services for the Willsboro United Methodist Church will be at the regular time of 9 a.m., then the Maundy Thursday Ecumenical service will be held at the Willsboro Congregational Church at 7 p.m. on 4/25, Good Friday Ecumenical service will be at the Willsboro United Methodist Church starting at 1 p.m on 4/26., Easter Sunrise service in Reber at 7 a.m. and then both Willsboro and Reber Easter services will be at regular time. We were all sadden to learn of the death of Lynn Lee recently, her service of remembrance and Memorial to her life was held this past Saturday with a very large gathering of her family and friends. Lynn was a person that had touched many lives over her life time and she will be greatly missed by those of us left behind.

I
'd like to thank the many readers who commented on last week's column about the school budget. Most comments were positive, which I appreciated very much. But one reader had an extremely helpful criticism that I appreciated even more. This reader made the important point that members of the public should be allowed to question the school budget without being painted as somehow being against the school or against the children. I didn't mean to imply that, but I can see how someone could read what I wrote and draw that conclusion. So while I stand by what I wrote, I'd like to add that I agree wholeheartedly with this reader. There's never anything wrong with asking questions. We should always feel free to question how our money is spent, and to object if we feel moved to do so. I also applaud the civil spirit in which the criticism was offered—which matches the civil tone of most of the emails that have been circulating on both sides of the issue. I think this whole conversation speaks well of our community, and I'm sure we can keep it up. OK, on to business. I've been asked to inform readers that the animal control officer will be conducting a dog census in Westport and Wadhams starting April 1. State law requires all dogs to be licensed, which includes a current rabies vaccination. You can get your dog license from the Town Clerk. I'm also told that there's a leash law, and that the animal control officer will be enforcing it. Any dog owners whose dogs are
found unlicensed after April 1 will face a $5 fine on top of the licensing fee, as per state law. The Westport Library Association has some exciting events coming up in April. The library's series of musical evenings continues on Thursday, April 8 at 7 p.m., when our own talented and brilliant Russell Ames will deftly deploy his dexterous digits on the newly-donated baby grand. He'll be playing classic show tunes by Cole Porter and Ira Gershwin, and we're all invited to sing along. No one else brings these old favorites to life with Russell's panache, and this promises to be an evening to remember. The Westport Library will also host two further poetry workshops in April, on Thursday the 15th and Thursday the 29th, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.. Bring seven copies of a poem that you'd like to share, or email it to Judith Moore at dowmoore@westelcom.com and she'll make copies for you. This is a warm and supportive group that will offer a friendly ear to your work, so it's a great opportunity for budding poets. Finally, if you haven't already done so, I urge you to get your "911" reflective address placard from the Town Clerk. I'm ashamed to say that I did so only recently. But as a rookie emergency responder, I now understand from experience how much time they can save when you're looking for an unfamiliar address in the dark. You can be fined for not having yours, but more importantly it could make the difference between life and death—for you, or for someone you love.

hether you have a question about your pup's bad behavior or how to treat hairballs in cats, the Internet has some valuable resources to provide answers to everyday pet concerns. While these resources are no substitute for a trip to the veterinarian, they are full of helpful information, and certainly worth a look. The NCSPCA recommends the following websites:The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals http://aspca.org; The Humane Society of the United States - www.hsus.org; Best Friends Animal Society http://bestfriends.org/; and Petfinders http://www.petfinder.com /index.html. Petfinders works with the NCSPCA, as well as other animal shelters, to provide an updated listing of animals for adoption. You can visit Petfinders at any time to learn more about our animals! Our featured pet this week is Scooter, a baby Bluetick Coonhound/mix who loves to give puppy kisses. He has a brown and black face with a white stripe down the middle of his nose, and brown sprin-
Scooter kles on his muzzle that look as if he has freckles! Scooter is an extraverted fellow who wants to meet and greet everyone he passes on his walk, regardless of their age. He enjoys the company everyone - including other dogs. His behavior on a leash is exemplary, and he is gentle enough that a child can easily take him for a walk. If you are looking for a pup-
py who is not too hyper, Scooter is the pup for you. You can visit Scooter, as well as our many other pets seeking forever homes, at our facilities on 23 Lakeshore Avenue in Westport. We are open Tuesday through Friday, noon - 4 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Sundays by appointment. Feel free to stop by and make a new friend!

ADIRONDACK CRYPTOGRAM
SATURDAY March 27, 2010
Let kids be bored sometimes G
rowing up, I quickly learned that if I voiced objection to my transient periods of boredom to my parents, they would gleefully provide me with the antidote. I was handed a shovel, a paint brush, a rake or a variety of sure fire boredom busters. In today’s highly structured and adult supervised world, I wonder if kids get bored anymore. Today, many kids are managing schedules that would challenge an IBM executive. Additionally, it seems that many adults are engaged in an exhaustive pursuit of entertaining young people. For the most part, weekends used to belong to you for work, friends or for family outings. Today, even weekends are occupied with a variety of activities, many that do not allow for family time or down time. Many kids feel pressured not to go on family outings or vacations because of their various involvements. So what may be lost if a child never gets the chance to be bored and the majority of their activities are closely monitored by one adult or another? I would argue that boredom provides for periods of interior exploration, daydreaming and wonder. Most kids that I knew had chores at home and many also worked outside the home for someone else. If you didn’t, you had no money. On those occasional lazy days when I wasn’t working or I didn’t hook up with a friend, I would explore the river. Walking over slippery, moss covered rocks followed by falling into drop offs that would dip you into water over your head. I often found unusual rocks or rusty pieces of
old cars or machinery. I dragged home an impressive pile of metal one summer. Sometimes I would encounter a fisherman with four or five nice bookies’ off his fish tender or a young couple kissing or some older guys in from the hayfield, covered with hay chaff and sunburned skin. One summer, my brother and I found an old truck, half in the water and half By Scot Hurlburt out. We removed the gas tank to use it for a float. In the process of turning it up, coins fell out. We spent hours hitting that tank and breaking loose enough coins to buy new fishing gear, two transistor radios and an entire summer of all the Pepsi we wanted. Over the years, we still wonder how the coins got into the tank, an eternal mystery. These essential and memorable experiences in the natural world might not have happened without a little boredom to elicit our actions. Remember, all kids count.

I
received lots of feedback from readers concerned about advice I passed on: to maximize savings by purchasing as many sale items as possible with your coupons. Here’s one letter: “In reading your column, I’m concerned that you may be encouraging people to take more than their share. Countless times I’ve gone to buy a product with a coupon and had to get a rain check. Meanwhile, I have witnessed people buying cases upon cases of the same product. I know people may feel they are just out for themselves and their families, but how greedy can you get?” It’s true that when we buy on a price-based basis versus a needs-based basis, the items that are on the best sales at the store deplete quickly. So what’s a shopper to do? This reader is definitely on the right track by getting a rain check. While it may be a minor inconvenience to have to get a rain check when the store is out of a particular sale item, it can also work to our advantage as shoppers. Most rain checks are good for thirty days. That’s a nice, long time to check back at the store, at your convenience, and pick up sale items when they’re back in stock. You can even use rain checks to “extend the sale” for yourself! During a great sale on dog food, our store was having trouble keeping bags in stock. I bought the last three bags that were on the shelf - and of course, I used my coupons on them. Then, I asked for a rain check for six more bags. Over the next few days, I got in touch with friends and family who also save their coupons, but don’t own dogs. I asked them if I could have their dog food coupons. A week later, I went back to the store and picked up more with the coupons I’d just acquired. The shelves were full again and I was still able to enjoy the sale price because of the rain check. With regard to this reader ’s comment that he’s seen people buying up every single item in stock during a sale, I do sympathize. I’ve never been a “shelf-clearer,” nor do I advocate being one. I’m certainly aware that at times, if something’s a fantastic deal, it’s tempting to buy every one of them in sight! And I know there are two schools of thought when it comes to great sales. Either you feel you’re “first come, first served” and are entitled to buy whatever you
want, or you will buy in moderation and leave some behind for others. I’ve found that a third option works well, too: special orders. Most major grocery stores (drugstores too) order and receive stock every single day. If there’s something I want to buy in a larger quantity that might affect how many of a certain item is on the shelves for everyone else, I’ll go to the store’s By Jill Cataldo service counter and order it. This has two benefits. I’m not clearing the shelf of a product and potentially leaving others frustrated. And I also know that the next day, I will get a phone call letting me know that my items are in. I can go to the counter, pick up exactly what I need and I won’t have to make extra, unnecessary trips to the store to see if my products may finally be back in stock. Remember, stores want our business. It’s usually not a problem at all to special-order products. Most stores are very happy to accommodate their customers. During a recent sale on bottled water at a local grocery store, so many people in our town were special-ordering water that the service counter at the store had pyramids of water cases sitting behind it, each with a note stuck to the top with the name of the customer who had ordered it! This is a win-win for the store and the customer. The store knows it has a guaranteed sale to the customer who has ordered the product and the customer is happy too, knowing that they will take home exactly the quantity and products that they’d like. Don’t be afraid to try!

VALLEY NEWS - 7
For the record O
ver the past several weeks, The Valley News has received several letters to the editor commenting on our decision to remove Jim LaForest as our Essex community columnist. As many comments on both sides of the issue continue to come in, I feel a need to respond to these comments, and hopefully put this issue to rest. First, let me say that the decision to remove Jim was not one easily made. I have great respect for Jim and, most of the time, enjoyed both the humor and poignant observations made in his column. It was initially my assessment that most of our readership felt the same, which is why I often overlooked instances where he wrote heavily opinionated statements about topics having little to do with community news and events. Regretfully, it was some of these heavily opinionated statements that sometimes drew complaints from our readers. Regardless of whether I agreed or disagreed with the statements sometimes at issue in Jim's columns, I began to see that allowing him to voice those opinions in our newspaper implied his opinions were supported by this newspaper, especially because there was not an equal forum providing for opposing views. This, in itself, was problematic, but it was compounded by the fact that Jim serves as a town councilman in Essex. As we continued to receive complaints about the views Jim expressed, especially
some subtle, yet disparaging remarks directed at newly elected Essex town supervisor Sharon Boisen, it beBy Matt Bosley came clear, both to me and the rest of our Editorial department, that there was a need to discontinue allowing the Essex column to be a forum for his personal opinions. Jointly, we decided the best course of action was to change authorship of the column. My main regret from this decision was that I did not adequately express my growing concerns to Jim prior to his removal. Though I often made him aware of the complaints we were receiving about some of his commentary, I don't feel I did enough to communicate my own editorial expectations to him. For this, I offer him my sincere apologies. That being said, I believe the change has ultimately improved the quality and integrity of The Valley News. I hope the majority of our readers agree, and if not, that they can at least respect our decision as being in the interest of producing a better newspaper.

Citizens want fire towers retained By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — In two public hearings last week, citizens voicing opposition to the state’s proposed removal of two fire towers substantially outnumbered those who want to see them gone. The state Department of Environmental Conservation has penned proposals requiring the removal of the fire towers atop Hurricane and St. Regis mountains. Over the course of the two public hearings March 10 and 11, thirty-nine Adirondack citizens ardently expressed their opinions to DEC and Adirondack Park Agency officials. Of the 39 citizens expressing their views, 33 said they were opposed to removing the towers. Four of the six comments in favor of the proposals came from the region’s three primary environmental groups – the Adirondack Council, the Adirondack Mountain Club and Protect the Adirondacks.
The final decision is up to the APA Board of Commissioners. DEC foresters argue their hands are tied by the state Land Master Plan, which requires the removal of “non-conforming” structures on state lands designated as a Wilderness, Canoe or Primitive area. The Hurricane Mountain tower is located in the nearly 14,000-acre Hurricane Mountain Primitive Area and the St. Regis tower is in the St. Regis Canoe Area. Proponents of the DEC plan argue the towers’ removal avoids yet another inconsistency with the SLMP, while opponents counter the towers are a vital part of the region’s cultural history. Many of those offering their views stated they believe the public comment period is simply a legal formality and carries no real weight over the final decision. DEC officials have said that each comment will be taken into consideration. Written comments received so far have yet to be tallied.

Stec ditches bid for Congress seat
denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County Republicans have endorsed businessman and Tea Party activist Patrick Ziegler to challenge Democratic Congressman Scott Murphy in the November race for New York’s 20th District. But Ziegler ’s bid could already be in jeopardy, as his opponent for the GOP line, Chris Gibson, has garnered support from much larger counties. Committee Chairman Ron Jackson preferred Ziegler to Gibson. He said Ziegler ’s enthusiasm for policy played heavily in the committee’s endorsement. “He’s a very enthusiastic speaker and hardworking. He has obviously spent a lot of time researching,” Jackson said. “Both Gibson and Ziegler had the crowed very enthusiastic in their support.” Essex is the second of 10 counties in the 20th District where Ziegler has bested his opposition, winning Warren County over hometown supervisor Dan Stec last week. County Republicans from Saratoga and Rensselaer threw their support behind Gibson. Saratoga County holds 33 percent of the district’s total weighted vote, while Essex only wields 2 percent and Warren about 10 percent. “Saratoga County is really the gorilla in the room,” Jackson said. “If Gibson pulls Columbia, that will about wrap it up.” Gibson, a retired Army Colonel, is also considered a favorite among Republicans in the district’s other power-center, Columbia County. The Republican county chairs from the 20th District will convene March 31 at the Desmond Hotel to endorse a region-wide candidate. Party officials said a primary is not anticipated, but not out of the question, either.

Stec had recently been expressing strong viewpoints, on national issues, reflecting conservative Republican values, . But Monday, Stec said he was ready to focus on a lot of vital issues in Warren County and his hometown. Stec, 41, declined to say whether he’d be launching another campaign for Congress in an upcoming election year. “For the time being, I’ll be concentrating on Warren County and Queensbury,” he said. “We have a lot of issues here at home to keep us busy.”

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

Ferry From page 1 Ferry service will run between Essex, N.Y, and Charlotte, Vt., Monday through Friday from March 22 until April 2. Beginning April 5, The Essex-Charlotte crossing will expand to a seven-day-a-week schedule. The Adirondack, one of the fleet’s oldest ferries, built in 1913, will be the lone vessel at the crossing for the time being. It has a 20-ton weight limit and 11-foot-4-inch clearance for vehicles. The Adirondack has traditionally operated at the Port Kent-Burlington crossing, where its spacious upper deck seating is popular among passengers. “She is a great boat, but she is not a winter boat,” explained Heather Stewart, operations manager for LCT. With winter coming to a close amid a string of warm temperatures, conditions that precluded use of the ferry have all but gone. “We don’t have to worry if the boiler that heats the engine room breaks down, causing pipes to freeze and doing a lot of damage,” Stewart explained. The Essex-Charlotte ferry had been temporarily subsidized prior to its closing, allowing passengers to cross for free. That will not be the case when it re-opens. “It is a paid ferry, though people can use commuter tickets,” said Stewart. “It’s basically back to normal.” “The rates are the same as they were in 2009 and the same as they were in 2008,” she added. The Gov. George D. Aiken, a ferry that has long operated at the Essex-Charlotte crossing, is currently undergoing an engine refit, and should return there around May 24, restoring two-boat service. In addition, the Port Kent-Burlington crossing is scheduled to re-open for the season June 17. Stewart said 24-hour service will continue at both the Plattsburgh-Grand Isle and Crown point crossings.

Cuts From page 1 am perplexed by the logic of this proposed cut which no doubt would cost the state and the region a lot of revenue.” Senator Ruth HassellThompson said the cuts aren’t based on party affiliation or region. “But know that this in the best interest of the state and cut we must,” she said. “We’ve tried to do in it in a manner that is both safe and judicious.” ORDA spokesman Jon Lundin said it is too early in the process to assess the potential impacts of the cuts. “It’s only a proposal,” Lundin said. “We will watch it closely.” The Senate Majority proposes restoring $79 million to the state Environmental Protection Fund, the lion’s share of which would be spent on state land acquisitions, and an additional $290 million in senior citizen STAR exemptions. It also restores $6 million to the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation for the continued operation of numerous parks and historic sites slated for closure. The senate budget rejects most of the governor’s pro-
posed fee and tax hikes, including $465 million in estimated revenues from a tax on sugary drinks and $210 million in additional cigarette taxes. But it preserves $1.4 billion in school aid and $1 billion in health care cuts in Paterson’s original budget. On Monday, Senators voted 32 to 29 along party lines to move the preliminary 20102011 Legislative Budget into conference committee negotiations. By state law, the final budget is to be adopted by April 1.

Tourism officials: Paterson’s budget would be devastating By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com Major cuts to health care and New York’s prison system have dominated the headlines in the North Country since the January release of Governor David Paterson’s 2010-11 Executive Budget. But one area official says cuts to tourism and marketing programs should not be overshadowed by setbacks elsewhere. Ron Ofner is executive director of the Adirondack Regional Tourism Council. He said Paterson’s budget eliminates the “I Love New York” Tourism Matching Funds program, which provided Adirondack counties with close to $480,000 in 2009. And although the cuts to tourism programs don’t amount to much, Ofner says the impact those programs have is immeasurable.
“We’re looking at $1.2 billion in visitor spending,” he said. “We’re looking at close to $150 million in local and state sales tax revenue as a result of that visitor spending.” He said cutting programs aimed at bolstering tourism – especially when the return is so high – is dangerous fiscal policy in a time when the state is staring down a massive deficit. According to data provided by Ofner ’s office, tourism jobs account for up to 40 percent of employment in some Adirondack communities. “And we’re also looking at tourism employment in the Adirondack region of over 20,000 jobs,” he said. “That’s from the census, and that’s looking at jobs, what they consider the tourism industry. So it’s obviously lodging and campgrounds, restaurants. I believe they
even include gas stations in that mix.” And it’s not just employment the tourism industry provides. Ofner points to statistics compiled by the SUNY Plattsburgh Technical Assistance Center that shows every dollar spent on marketing results in 86 dollars spent by tourists. In 2008, visitors to the Adirondacks spent $1.2 billion. That, Ofner says, generated $152 million in state and local sales tax revenue. Also on the chopping block is the Beekmantown Welcome Center. Ofner says the center plays an important role in promoting the park, especially with firsttime visitors from Canada. “What we’re finding is that the majority of visitors coming down from Canada are first-time visitors,” he said. “A lot of people are just popping down for the day,
y’know, looking for things to do. They stop in our area and that’s where they learn about the Plattsburgh Beach and the shopping opportunities in Plattsburgh or what’s available in the Lake George or Lake Placid area.” He adds that closing the center would take away opportunities for the tourism council when it comes to attracting potential visitors. “Without that center being open, people will simply continue on south to their southerly destinations and not get an opportunity to experience what we have to offer in the beautiful Adirondacks,” Ofner said. Ofner says lawmakers should consider restoring funds for tourism marketing. “It’s a small investment,” he said. “It has a big pay off for local and state economies.”

Will ice out be early this year? Anglers await open water opportunities
D
espite a recent spell of sunny skies and warm weather, it’s never safe to pronounce that winter has finally expired in the Adirondacks. However, to date, average temperatures for the month of March have been about 10 degrees above normal, while rainfall has been far below average. I expect the normal weather will eventually catch up to us, but hopefully it won’t arrive during the annual spring break. Trees are beginning to sprout buds and flies are in The arrival of budding pussythe air. In my backyard, the willows are a reliable signal pussywillows are out, which that open brook trout waters usually indicates that ice out are close at hand. can't be far behind. It would be nice to access the ponds while a snowpack remains. I’d far prefer to skid my boat over the snow, than haul it several miles overland on my back. All we need are just a few days of sunshine and 60 degree weather, combined with some heavy rains, and the trout season will be off to it’s earliest start in recent memory.
Bell’s Regret
while satellite phones have expanded it beyond earthly bounds and into space. Sadly, in the current day, cell phones have indeed become one of the most popular children’s toys. They have moved far beyond the intended purpose of simple communication, and are now used primarily as an entertainment device. Telephone communications have advanced so rapidly and have become so pervasive that it is almost impossible to escape their presence. And while there are a number of local communities that haven’t been breached or reached via a new cell tower, the numbers are very few. For the remainder, my advice is to be careful what they wish for. Last summer, on the summit of Mt. Marcy, I witnessed a gentleman screaming into a cell phone while making dinner reservations. On another occasion, the deafening silence of the still afternoon was shattered as a kid on the opposite shore of a backwoods pond shared his cell phone conversation with every camper in the area. While I fully understand the essential elements of safety that a complete network of cell coverage provides, I can’t escape their invasiveness. Quite simply, there should remain certain places on this earth where a person can’t be reached and where cellular communications can’t intrude. Beyond the fact that rude behavior knows no bounds, the fact that civilization can now encroach upon even the wildest areas on earth, makes these areas less wild, maybe even tame. In 1878, Bell wrote, “It is possible to connect every man's house, office or factory with a central station, so as to give him direct communication with his neighbors.” Years later, Bell came to realize the errors of his ways. Eventually, he determined that civilization shouldn’t be permitted to encroach everywhere. At the time he had already founded Science magazine and was the president of the National Geographic Society. He had been hard at work in an attempt to develop flying and although he had amassed over 3,000 patents beyond his original, the telephone had finally palled on him. On his seventy-fifth birthday, Bell stunned the world when he disclosed that he did not have a telephone in his own study. Further, he announced that there was no telephone in the Coconut Grove home of his daughter-in-law, where he spent winters working on fresh inventions. When questioned why he refused to have a phone, Bell explained that he regretted the fact that he was responsible for an invention he considered, “the greatest single intrusion of an individual’s privacy ever invented.” Years later, due to concerns over his failing health, he finally permitted a phone to be installed at his estate in Nova Scotia. However, he directed the phone could only be installed in the garage, so that he wouldn’t be subject to the “device’s infernal ring.” On Aug. 2, 1922, Alexander Graham Bell died. He is buried at his estate, Beinn Bhreagh, in Nova Scotia. I wonder what the great inventor would think of today’s cell phones, which are surely no longer, “a toy, that no child would be interested in.”
“Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. Every time you do so you will be certain to find something that you have never seen before. Follow it up, explore all around it, and before you know it, you will have something worth thinking about to occupy your mind. All really big discoveries are the results of thought.” The above quote comes from a young Alexander Graham Bell, who sat in the gardens of his family home in Brantford, Ontario on a warm summer day in July 1874 staring at the Grand River. It was a day that inspiration struck and Bell finally grasped the principle on which his most famous invention, the telephone, would work. Two years later, on February 14, 1876, Bell’s patent application for the telephone was filed at the United States Patent Office. He was granted the first telephone patent, U.S. Number 174,465, on his twenty-ninth birthday. It has been called the most valuable patent ever issued. Three week’s later on March 10, 1876 the first intelligible human voice was heard over a telephone, as Bell called to Watson, “Mr. Watson. Come here. I want to see you.” On a subsequent visit to his parent’s home in Ontario, later that same year, Bell completed one of the three crucial public demonstrations to prove that the telephone was a practical form of communication. His invention would reshape the world. In 1878, Rutherford B. Hayes was the first US president to have a telephone installed in the White House. His first call was conducted with Alexander Graham Bell, who was waiting for the call some 13 miles away from the White House. Decades later, on Jan. 25, 1915, Bell participated in the formal opening of the first transcontinental telephone line by talking on the telephone in New York to the same Mr. Watson in San Francisco. Watson and Bell’s initial telephone conversation of 1876 was transmitted a total distance of just 20 feet. By 1915 it spanned a continent and Bell lived to see the telephone deJoe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. liver speech across the Atlantic and from Washington to Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net. Honolulu without wires. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, March 3, 1847, Bell immigrated to Canada in 1870 for health reasons, after his brother ’s death of tuberculosis two years earlier. Bell arrived with his parents, and his sister-in-law, Carrie Bell, and settled in Brantford, Ontario. Reportedly, he developed the phone to help family members, who suffered from hearing problems. At the time, his father-inlaw did not agree with Bell’s efforts. He claimed the device would simply be a toy and that “no child would be interested in playing with it.” However, since Bell’s death in 1922, the telecommunication industry has undergone an amazing revolution.

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