Taking Aim

Fish and game club back on target New facilities, programs bring growing membership By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com

CLINTONVILLE — More and more outdoor enthusiasts in and around the Au Sable River Valley are enjoying the results of a recent effort to revitalize one of the area’s most long-standing sites for the practice of shooting sports. According to Bill Mitchell, president of the Chesterfield Fish and Game Club, activities at their 150-acre property on Green Street in Clintonville had been few and far between for the better part of a decade; that is, until he and a handful of other members decided to bring the club and its facilities back to life last fall. “We’ve really put a lot of work into it since last October,” said Mitchell, who was one of several local businessmen to donate materials for the renovations. “It’s really something for a few dedicated people to get the place back up and running. Club members renovated the 50-foot indoor shooting range, which is now heated, and added a new shooting shed for the outdoor range. Trap- and skeet-shooting ranges were given a much-needed make-over. The Chesterfield Fish and Game Club was established in 1969. Mitchell, a 25-year member of the club, was one of several new club officers elected in December at the first meeting the club had held in more than six years. Monthly meetings have been held ever since. Meanwhile, work has continued on grooming and renovating the club’s facilities, and weekly activities have been scheduled at the indoor shooting range with a special focus placed on youth. A Youth BB-Gun League has been instituted where children age 10-12 receive lessons through a national instruction program aimed at gun safety. 15 youth have enrolled

APA commissioners New sign regs will cost want towers to stay taxpayers $1.9 million By Matt Bosley

denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — Adirondack Park Agency commissioners directed agency staff Thursday to find a way to let the fire towers remain atop St. Regis and Hurricane mountains – provided that a non-taxpayer-based funding source for their upkeep can be found. Located in state-owned Primitive and Canoe areas, both towers are considered non-conforming structures under the current draft of the State Land Master Plan. But considering the public’s affinity for the federally recognized historic structures, commissioners like Dick Booth were torn between the

ELIZABETHTOWN — New federal regulations regarding road signage will equate to an expense of nearly $1.9 million for taxpayers in Essex County, according to the county’s top highway official. Essex County Department of Public Works Superintendent Tony Lavigne met with the county’s DPW committee at its April 19 meeting, and expressed his concern regarding regulations enacted in December by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). “We are currently in the process of changing all the county signs to meet the new federal standard,” said Lavigne. The regulations require the

School levies rise as state aid drops By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com The trickle-down effect of financial troubles at the state level will be felt in many local school districts this year as school boards struggle to keep tax levies down while making up for the loss of thousands in state aid. Voting on proposed school budgets for all area schools will take place May 18, and voters can expect to see at least moderate increases in every district. Contact your local school district for information on when and where polls will be open.

AuSable Valley Under Gov. David Paterson’s deficit reduction plan, the AuSable Valley Central School District was expected to lose $870,779 in state aid. Superintendent Paul Savage, II is hoping at least $357,000 will be restored by the State Legislature. “Although the governor states that “most schools” will be able to cover the aid reduction with their existing fund balances, we are certainly not one of those districts,” said Savage, noting that the cut represents nearly half of the school district’s fund balance. “We have done our very best to build a modest reserve under good fiscal management, within the state guidelines, and with a desire to protect taxpayers in tough times. Now we are being penalized for following such guidelines.” The proposed budget for 2010-2011 will increase $201,256 from the current year’s to a total of more than $25.5 million, a 0.76 percent rise. Likewise, the tax levy will rise $301,823 to just above $11 million, a 3.1 percent increase. The resulting 3.1 percent tax rate increase will take the perthousand rate from $14.96 to $15.43. The increases come despite a scaling-back of staffing, which includes the loss of three teaching positions due to attrition and one due to a leave of absence. One position for a licensed practical nurse is also planned to be cut. The proposed budget reduces contractual and supply expenses by 25 percent, delays computer purchases for one year, and reduces funds for curriculum development during the summer and

character education programs during the year. “Our philosophy is to provide a high quality education for our students, and it has been a real challenge to minimize the impact on programs and services with a cut in aid of $870,799,” said Savage. “Overall, we are proud of the educational programs and results we have achieved at AVCS, and during these challenging times, we believe that this budget meets the needs of both our students and the community.” A public hearing on the proposed budget is scheduled for Monday, May 10, 6:30 p.m. at the middle-high school auditorium.

Westport In Westport, the proposed 2010-2011 budget expenditures total $5.2 million, up $125,394 or 2.4 percent from 2009-2010. The tax levy will rise $128,551 to just over $3 million, a 4.45 percent increase. That equates to a $0.53 increase in the rate-per-thousand, bringing the annual cost to a taxpayer with a $100,000 home to $1,253.57. The increases virtually mirror a $133,157 drop in state aid. “The tax levy would have been much lower if the state crisis did not result in significant loss of state aid,” said Westport interim Superintendent John Gallagher. “Increased costs of health insurance, contributions to state retirement systems, and increased costs for BOCES services were the only areas that the budget increased.” To offset those increases, the proposed budget includes a provision to save $75,000 by reducing the superintendent position to half-time, eliminating many benefits. One retiring teacher’s position will go unfilled, and “significant cuts” to supplies and ma-

terials budgets were included. “While this is a very tight budget, our programs have not been affected,” said Gallagher. “Everyone is doing with less, but we still have much to celebrate.”

Keene The Keene Central School District will see a nearly two-percent increase in its tax levy under the proposed budget for 2010-2011, requiring $83,681 more from taxpayers than in the previous year. The total expenses would increase $63,298 to $5.24 million, a 1.22 percent increase in spending. A state aid reduction of $40,383 is largely responsible for the added burden to local taxpayers, which will increase the per-thousand tax rate 15 cents to $7.90 in the town of Keene and $7.96 in the town of Jay, assuming no significant changes in assessments. Meanwhile, there is a slight increase anticipated in enrollment at the school: 175 students, up from 172 the current year. A public hearing on the proposed budget is scheduled for Wednesday, May 12, 7 p.m. at the school. Check The Valley News next week for budget summaries for other local school districts.

he long-awaited premiere showing of the movie made here in Willsboro took place this past Saturday. The Fish Ladder Production Film Company under the direction of Paul Bonfante took an interesting story idea and made it into a movie. What was great for me was how a new young aspiring director could take a story and come to a small community, gather local props, use existing buildings and surroundings, get a group of local amateur actors, and turn it into a 20 minute movie production. This was the first public showing of the film, shown at the Willsboro Central School auditorium, and the community really turned out. There were very few empty seats, and we got to meet the actors. There was a question and answer period at the close of the event. There seems to be a growing trend in Upstate N.Y. and Vermont to make these local-themed short movies. So we send “a hats off” to Mr. Bonfante for his first production with hopefully more to come in the future. We have had a few days of rain but this has really helped the spring flowers come out and

he other morning, Amy and I were having breakfast and talking about the volcano in Iceland that’s messing up air travel to Europe. Amy has plans to go to Amsterdam with my mother and son this Monday, but the ash cloud may interfere. I would have gone on this trip, but working for the census got in the way. At any rate, I offered Amy some suggestions on where to spend her vacation should trans-Atlantic travel be out of the question. One brilliant idea that came to me was, if Amsterdam, the Netherlands is not possible, maybe a trip to Amsterdam, New York would be a fine alternative. Instead of Dutch canals, she could go for a boat ride on the Erie Canal. Instead of the Rijksmuseum, she could visit the state museum in Albany. While I explored the many similarities between the two Amsterdams, Amy bemoaned her fate and muttered unfriendly suggestions to me. I thought it was all pretty amusing until I bit a piece of toast and my mouth flooded with a foul and familiar taste. Yes, another lady bug got chomped. I raced to the sink and spat while Amy reminded me that taking joy at the misery of others can work both ways.

Out in the garden, spinach and lettuce are growing rapidly under their gauzy white tents. The tents admit rain and light while providing a few degrees of warmth and protection from the wind. I’m waiting for a dry spell so the rest of the garden can dry out a bit and I can rototill it. I’ve got seed potatoes and onion seedlings waiting to go in the ground, along with a couple of different varieties of leek. I’m happy that it’s been relatively cool of late, because it keeps the daffodils and forsythia looking nice longer. This spring we are about two weeks ahead of where we’d normally be, which is a serious problem for apple growers. The trees may bud out early and then get zapped by a frost. Apples were a major crop in the Reber area years ago, when every farmer had a small orchard primarily for the production of hard cider, the favored drink for much of our nation’s history. A prolonged and intense winter during World War I killed most of the trees here, and the industry never came back. My sources tell me the Whallonsburg Grange is looking spiffy with all of its new paint. We owe the volunteers and mastermind Ted Cornell a big thanks for all of their work on this most worthy and useful project.

Local foods expert to speak in Plattsburgh PLATTSBURGH — Jennifer L. Wilkins, Ph.D., R.D., with Cornell’s Division of Nutritional Sciences will keynote the consumer-oriented “Eating Local Yet? Finding and Using Local Foods” conferences set for Thursday, May 6, 5:30-8:30 p.m., at Plattsburgh High School, Rugar Street, Plattsburgh. According to Wilkins, creator of the first regional food guide in the United States, “It is a good idea to learn how to eat locally for several important reasons: your health, the health of your community, and for a sustainable future.” Wilkins directs the Cornell Farm to School Research and Extension Program, for which

she received a Dannon Institute Award for Excellence in Community Nutrition. She also directs the Cornell Cooperative Extension Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program. Among Wilkins’ topics will be how to plan a diet with localism and seasonality in mind, the health aspects of eating local foods, and how a local food system supports community food security. The conference agenda includes networking time and locallygrown and locally-made finger foods for tasting.

ast week I promised a report on the public information meeting for the proposed municipal building that was held right before the regular meeting of the town board April 13. The big news is that the date has now been set for the public to vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the project. That vote will take place June 15 at the Town Hall from noon to 8 p.m. The projected cost now stands at close to $7 million, though we won't have to shoulder all of it by ourselves. Already, the town has a nearly $600,000 grant from the state which will help. My guess on the bottom line for your tax bill: This project will probably come in at somewhere between $1.30 and $1.80 per thousand of assessed value annually over 25 years. For more details, see the article in the next issue of the paper. That money will buy us a chance to replace our badly outdated municipal facilities—town shed, school bus garage, fire departement, town offices—with one consolidated structure. Consolidating these functions in one location should offer significant savings in material and services as we go forward. But even if we vote no, we will still have to build expensive new facilities sooner rather than later for our school buses, our town trucks, and our fire department. So the question as I see it is whether we address the problem on our own terms and with a plan to consolidate them, or address them at the last minute, piecemeal, because

time has run out on us. The unpleasant reality is that the current aged, cramped, and run-down facilities are simply no longer workable—and yet we cannot do without the essential services they provide. At the meeting April 13, Supervisor Dan Connell mentioned a couple of other immediate consequences if the project is turned down. First, the town would have to return the $600,000 grant it got from the state to begin planning the project. Second, the town agreed a while back to supply fuel for the school district and the fire department on a temporary basis, but that can't go on forever. So the school and the fire department will have to go it alone for fuel, which will also cost taxpayers money. One other thing that struck me: Dan said all these things not as a dire warning about the future, but in response to a questioner who asked "What happens if the voters turn it down?" In fact, people had a whole bunch of questions (I counted more than 10) and all of them were excellent. So, this is something that we have already been thinking long and hard about as a community. That process began with the committee that's put so much hard work into it so far: Dan Connell, Gordon Decker, John Gallagher, Alice LaRock, George Maffey, Jean Paquette, Jerry Sherman, Tim Sherman, Mike Tyler, and Marlene Westover. They've done a great job and deserve our recognition. But you—the people who turn up and ask questions— have done a great job, too.

recently moved with my family and two cats from a house to an apartment. While it was a significant change for the people involved, it was clear that our feline friends had some difficulty adjusting, at least at first, as well. This week the NCSPCA would like to bring up some issues and solutions regarding moving with your pets. When you first bring your pet into your new home, choose a small room to be the "pet room," where dogs and cats can feel secure as you move in furniture and belongings. As much as possible, have furniture, bowls, and toys in place before you let your pets out of their crates. The chaos of constant activity around them can cause anxiety and stress. Don't let pets outdoors without a leash until they've adapted to their new surroundings—several days to a week for cats; dogs adapt more quickly. Continue giving your pets water from home for the first few days. The fewer changes in their routine, the better. If your pets misbehave, consider ways to reduce their stress. If you suspect they may be ill, make a veterinary appointment. Don't punish your pets for initial misbehavior. Cats especially will not understand, and punishment will only increase stress and stress-caused behaviors. Finally, clean up "accidents" immediately. Animals tend to repeat behaviors in the same areas. Our featured pet this week is Sasha, a German Shepherd mix who loves to have her tummy rubbed, and will happily whack you with her waggin’ tail.

Vote ‘no’ on WCS budget

Lewis church to hold prime rib RSVP volunteer needed at Nutrition Site in Wilmington

To the editor, This is in response to Mr. Tim Sherman's Letter to the Editor respecting the Westport Central School budget. His letter appeared in the April 17 issue of the Valley News and surely will appear in the Press-Republican as well. If you, Westport voter, wish to vote in favor of our proposed $5 million-plus school budget, so be it. However, do not make this important decision on the basis of Mr. Sherman's misinformation concerning the contingency budget. When the budget is voted down, it does not follow that the contingency budget automatically becomes effective and, even if the school board elects to allow it to become effective, it does not mean that the extra-curricular and curricular activities Mr. Sherman lists will come to an end. First, the school board is not bound to allow the contingency budget to become effective; it can construct and offer a different one to the voters. Second, if the school board elects to allow the contingency budget to take effect, all of the activities Mr. Sherman lists, excepting perhaps one, could be qualified by the board as “school activities” and, thus, continue to function as before. Curricular activities, of course, would not be eliminated by virtue of the contingency budget. Third, the board could adopt charges (which, in my opinion, it should do especially in the present economic climate) for the use of school facilities and allow the activities to continue to be offered. So, Mr. Sherman, if you urge persons to vote for the budget (as I surely will urge them to vote against it) please do it without confusing the issues with misinformation. It is in very good conscience, therefore, that I urge you, Westport voters, to come to the poll on May 18 and vote ‘no’ on the Westport Central School budget. Please convince your relatives and friends to do the same.

Prom and graduation: a dangerous season for youth A

Denton Publications, Inc.

We’re more than a newspaper, We’re a community service. Our goal at Denton Publications is to publish accurate, useful and timely information in our newspapers, news products, shopping guides, vacation guides, and other specialty publications for the benefit of our readers and advertisers. We value your comments and suggestions concerning all aspects of this publication.

Founded By Wm. D. Denton

survey conducted in 2009 was commissioned by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company. The survey was administered to thousands of 11th and twelfth graders. The results confirm some of the worst fears that many parents are thinking about as the Prom and graduation season is on the horizon. Over 90 percent acknowledged that they and their peers will drink and drive on Prom night and 79 percent will drink and drive on graduation night. The survey revealed another ominous fact: Only 25 percent of youth believe that drinking and driving on Prom or Graduation night will place them at high risk. When driver distractions, texting, cell phone use and other youth in the vehicle are factored into the risk calculus, parents have good reason to be concerned. According to the National Highway and Traffic safety Administration, more than one third of alcohol related deaths among drivers under the age of 21, died in the months of April, May and June: Prom and graduation season. The survey also revealed a major “perception disconnect” between parents and their children. Nationally, 75 percent of parents say that they have talked to their children about the dangers of drinking and driving while only 25 percent of youth say that their parents have talked to them about the issue. One of the most disturbing outcomes of the survey was that 52 percent of the survey respondents reported that they got their Prom and Graduation party alcohol from their parents or friends’ parents. Parents who host or ignore alcohol parties for youth during Prom and Graduation are exposing the attending youth to a life altering or potentially life ending risk. While we cannot totally stop youth from underage drinking behaviors and subsequently getting behind the wheel of a car, we can

do better. When over 50 percent of youth report that they get their alcohol from adults, the issue is no longer about underage drinkers but rather incredibly misguided and irresponsible adults. These are the adults that let young people get drunk at their homes and say that it is OK because, “we have their keys.” They often have a a second set that you don’t know about. DriBy Scot Hurlburt ving cars are not the only danger, either. Every year during the Prom/Graduation season, young people are drowned, burned, sexually assaulted and suffer many other life altering events. If you are a young person, enjoy the Prom or your Graduation this year. Make good decisions for yourself, even if the adults around you do not. Don’t get drunk on Prom or Graduation night; if you don’t, you will have some nice memories to look back on. More importantly, if you do not get drunk on Prom or Graduation night, your chances of being alive and uninjured will increase exponentially. You will still be here to have a life, to live your dream and you will live on so, when you become a parent, you can keep your children safe during Prom and Graduation season. Remember, all kids count.

ith the warm spring weather we have been enjoying, many vegetable gardeners are eager to get their gardens planted. The temperatures have been so warm it is tempting to plant vegetables that require warm weather to thrive, but we shouldn’t forget here in the North Country, we will most likely experience several more frosty nights! That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be out working in our veggie patches. Now is the time to plant one of my husband’s favorite vegetables — the pea. The pea, or Pisum sativum, is thought to have originated in Middle Asia and the central plateau of Ethiopia. By the Bronze Age (c. 3,000 B.C.) they were used by the inhabitants of Central Europe, were used by the Greeks and Romans, and were even mentioned in England after the Norman conquest. It is now a popular vegetable all over the world. This legume can be planted as soon as the soil temperature reaches 50 degrees F and the plants grow best at temperatures of 55 to 64 degrees F. This plant does not thrive in the heat of the summer. But it can be replanted for a fall crop. Peas grow best in slightly acidic, welldrained soils. There are many different varieties of the garden pea. With shell peas, the seeds are allowed to fully ripen, removed from the pod, and eaten. Snow peas and snap peas are eaten whole when the pod has reached maturi-

ty but prior to the seeds reaching maturity. Vining cultivars can climb almost 6 feet high by curling their tendrils around any available support. Metal fences, twine, or netting supported by a frame can be used for a pea trellis. Traditionally a structure known as a pea brush was used, which is simply pruned tree branches thrust upright into the soil. There are several newer varieties that are low-growing and do not require a trellis. I have many found childhood memories shelling and eating these sweet, nutritious veggies with my grandparents who grew a prolific amount of peas each spring. Now my husband and I share the joy trying to guess the number of peas each shell will contain as we shuck fresh garden peas with our children on our back patio.

Changes, they are a-comin’ F

olks in the Tri-Lakes region will soon notice a major change to their free, weekly newspaper. Don’t adjust your bifocals; it’s all just part of the plan. Beginning next week, Denton Publications will combine the Tri-Lakes Free Trader Today and the Valley News newspapers to provide you a new and improved news product – one that will bear the same name as its predecessor, which has served the communities of northeastern Essex County for the past 60 years. The Valley News will include news from Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake and points in between alongside stories from its current territory: Elizabethtown, Westport, Willsboro, Keeseville, Au Sable Forks, Keene, and Wilmington. This way, readers from all these communities will get stories from across the whole of northern Essex County, southern Franklin County, and beyond. Another big change you’ll likely notice will be the layout. Instead of a compact, double-fold newspaper, The Valley News will henceforth be printed as a single-fold 12-by11-inch “short tab.” The new format will allow for articles to be more prominently displayed on each page, and, hopefully, easier to read as well. Photos and design elements, especially on the cover, will be noticeably improved with the goal of creating images that are more pleasing to the eye and allowing the talent of our design staff to shine through. Though all these changes will be realized next week, one

Meditation presentation April 28 WADHAMS — On Wednesday, April 28 at 7:30 p.m., the Wadhams Free Library will offer a lecture entitled "The Messages of Meditation," by physical therapist Brian Trzaskos of Willsboro. Hundreds of research studies have proven the effectiveness of regular meditation in lowering blood pressure, alleviating anxiety and depression, decreasing muscle pain, strengthening the immune system and elevating mood. This discussion is an introduction to traditional meditation techniques designed to help individuals discover which meditation style is most effective for them, and open the minds of people who are interested in exploration into the self. Brian Trzaskos is a Physical and Massage Therapist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and Certified Meditation Instructor. He owns Ascent Wellness, a private physical therapy and wellness practice focused on providing holistic and personalized care. The event is free and open to the public.

thing that won’t be changing is our commitment to quality, community-oriented news. We will continue to feature local arts and entertainment, fundraiser events, political news, feature stories, local columns, letters to the editor, sports, and, of course, our regional calenBy Matt Bosley dar. The big difference, of course, will be that those stories will now reach a much wider audience – nearly 20,000 – double the number of homes as before. If you have an idea for a story or an announcement for a community event, it’s now even more important for you to share that with us. Personally, I’m excited about the changes and look forward to the possibilities that the new design and the merging of these two papers will bring. I hope you, the reader, will share your feedback with us in the coming weeks, along with any suggestions you have for things you would like to see represented in your free, weekly newspaper.

It belongs to all of the entire Village and definitely should not be closed. There is nowhere for the many non-profit groups that use the building to go. Chesterfield should donate the operating cost since it uses all of the services and receives the lion's share of tax and grant money in Keeseville and is always paid out to contractors. The Chesterfield municipality should not hide its head in the sand when the community needs help for our community children the most. Lets put our children first.

Repairs coming for Route 22 WILLSBORO — The New York State Department of Transportation has announced work will begin soon on a pavement rehabilitation project on State Route 22 in the town of Willsboro. The $2.2 million project will rehabilitate Route 22 from Station Road to Reber Road, a distance of approximately two miles. The existing asphalt pavement will be recycled with new material and replaced on the road surface. Two additional layers of asphalt will be placed over this recycled pavement. Culvert work will be included, either through replacement or rehabilitation. All guiderail will be replaced and two rock locations will be cut away from the road to improve visibility along the roadway. Kubricky Construction Corporation of Queensbury, N.Y., is the primary contractor for the project. The project is scheduled to begin construction in April with completion anticipated by November. Motorists can expect one-way, alternating traffic patterns controlled either by a temporary traffic signal or flagging operations.

Towers From page 1 requirements of the SLMP and the preservation of the region’s cultural history. “The big part of me says, look, this is a decision that was made decades ago when the SLMP was crafted and we should finish doing what has been left undone for a long time,” Booth said. “But a part of me also says the towers are there, they are historic and although they have an impact on the wilderness character, it is certainly a bearable impact.” But for Commissioner Art Lussi, the question of the towers’ continued existence is a little more cut and dry. “We need to find a way to preserve them and there’s no easy option,” Lussi said. “But that’s my position. We need to find an option to preserve the towers as they sit.”

The Adirondack Local Government Review Board petitioned the agency to find an alternative to their removal, but according to a staff report, each and every method of legally attaining this goal will be time consuming and complicated. Commissioner Lani Ulrich stressed that doing things right supersedes doing things quickly. “The number of years that it will take to get it right doesn’t bother me,” Ulrich said. “I don’t like things taking forever, but I’d like to get it right.” Commissioners directed agency staff to find the most legally viable choice of three options that would allow for the continued presence of the fire towers in their historic locations. Officials said each would have an impact on the SLMP itself, ranging from creating small historic parcels to an outright amendment that would make the towers conforming

SATURDAY April 24, 2010 in Wilderness and Primitive areas. Officials said each option is relatively complex – but doable. Commissioner Jim Townsend chairs the agency State Land Committee and he closed the meeting by summing up what he was hearing from his peers. “There is sentiment to allow these towers to remain in some fashion,” Townsend said. “There are procedural steps to accomplish that.” But several commissioners, including Booth, Ulrich and Cecil Wray, were wary of placing the maintenance costs of the towers on the shoulders of the taxpayers. They indicated that saving the towers is likely contingent on the friends groups associated with the towers legally committing to funding the project. “What are we assuming goes on if we legitimize the towers being there and a corollary concern – who is 33101

paying for it?” Wray said. Review Board Executive Director Fred Monroe said that like a cemetery, it is possible to create a dedicated maintenance fund for each of the towers. Both towers have “friends” organizations that have verbally pledged to fund their upkeep. The Friends of the Bald Mountain Fire Tower has adopted the structure and covers all of the costs of keeping it open to the public. The SLMP states the purpose of Wilderness is to provide an experience unadulterated by signs of human activity. Like DEC, APA staff concluded that there were few legally clean courses of action other than tearing down and relocating the towers. But APA Deputy Director of Planning Jim Connelly stressed staff is limited to the requirements of the SLMP and not looking to pick fights with the local citizenry. “We are fully aware of the historic value of the fire tower in the Adirondacks,” Connelly said. “It’s our job to make recommendations based on the State Land Master Plan.” Staff will present their legal and cost analysis next month.

Signs From page 1 replacement of signs which have outlived their shelf-life for reflectivity. Lavigne said the county is working to replace an estimated 12,000 such signs on county and town roads in Essex County through the next four years, which will equate to a $1.2 million pricetag for municipalities. In addition, recent changes to the regulations stipulate that rectangular signs with either a chevron or a large directional arrow are “recommended” to be used on curves where the advisory speed is 10 mph less than the speed limit and “required” where the difference is 15 mph or more. To conform with the changes, Lavigne said 2,750 new signs will have to be placed at roughly 1,100 county road curves that previously had none, at a cost of $274,250. He estimated 3,750 new signs on town roads with a cost of $401,250, for a total of $695,500. And that’s just the up-front cost. According to Lavigne, the DPW will be responsible for maintenance of the signs, which will mean the potential for added cost in future years. Lavigne said the changes in regulations will likely have little effect on traffic safety and are particularly burdensome to states in the Northeast where roads tend to have plenty of curves. “Most of the roads in the Northeast were established before the advent of automo-

www.Thevalleynews.org biles and therefore don’t meet most engineering standards,” he said. Failing to replace the signs could put the municipalities at risk for lawsuits, Lavigne said, as counties and towns can be held liable for an accident if the signs are not in compliance with federal and state regulations. Jay Supervisor and Board of Supervisors Chair Randy Douglas called the new regulations “another unfunded mandate that we can’t afford in Essex County.” “Our hands are tied,” he added. “If we don’t comply, we could end up paying more in a lawsuit than we would for the signs themselves.” Westport Supervisor Dan Connell moved for a resolution to request an exemption from the regulations, which was passed unanimously by the committee. Newcomb Supervisor George Canon likened the issue to a recent dispute arising from a FHWA initiative to bring the yellowon-brown Adirondack signs into compliance with a white-on-brown standard used in other parks. Many local organizations and agencies opposed the change. “We fought them and were able to retain our brown and yellow,” Canon said. Lavigne said he has been talking to highway superitendents in other nearby counties and towns, and hopes to spur widespread opposition to the new regulations. “I do think it’s going to get more vocal in the next few weeks as the word gets out,” he said.

Fish & Game From page 1 in the 10-session program, and Mitchell said more may join when the program re-starts later this year. “We know there is some interest from other fish and game clubs in the area,” said Joanna D’Ascoli, the club’s secretary. “Our hope is that they will use the same national instruction program and there will be some inter-club competitions the kids can be involved in.” “We’ve go to do more to get the youth out from in front of the TV and get them interested in the outdoors,” said Mitchell, noting how youth are encouraged to try their hand at archery, fishing and the trap field. Every Tuesday evening, from 7-10 p.m., the club hosts archery shooting, which is open for both members and non-members. The indoor range is open for pistol and small-bore rifle shooting every Thursday evening, also from 7-10 p.m. The revitalized facilities, together with the return of regularly-occurring activities at the club, have significantly boosted membership. “We were at 120 back in October,” said Mitchell, “and we’ve gained about 40 members since we cleaned the place up.” “It’s still not overcrowded in there,” he

VALLEY NEWS - 11 added. “On a Tuesday night or a Thursday night, you’ll be able to walk up to one of the stands and shoot.” Annual membership dues for the club are currently $25, which many members say is more than reasonable for the opportunities it grants them. The club hopes to attract more new members as they host an Open House Saturday, April 24. The event begins at 8:30 a.m. with a pancake breakfast and registration for a youth fishing derby. Activities for all ages will continue throughout the day with BB-gun shooting for youth, trap shooting, a 50-yard egg shoot for adults, and an archery clinic taught by one of the top archery shooters on the East Coast. “It’s been amazing to me how much experience there is among the people in our own backyard when it comes to shooting sports. The fish and game club is a place where these people can share this experience,” said D’Ascoli, a self-proclaimed shooting novice. “It’s really important for people like me and kids to be exposed to the safe way of doing these things,” she added. The club is also planning a 3D fundraiser shoot for June 20.
