Adirondack Review Board objects to state purchase of woodlandsBy Chris Morris

denpubs@denpubs.com

ADIRONDACKS — The Adirondack Local Gov-ernment Review Board unanimously passed a reso-lution Jan. 26 opposing the pending state purchaseof some 75,000 acres of Adirondack land from a con-servation group.

The state is expected to soon purchase more than65,000 acres of former Finch Pruyn timberlands andabout 15,000 acres of land in the Follensby Pond areafrom the Adirondack Chapter of the Nature Conser-vancy.

The Review Board’s resolution urges the stateAdirondack Park Agency to comply with the StateLand Master Plan by recommending against thestate Department of Environmental Conservation’s

potential purchase of what review board officialscall highly productive timberland.

Review Board Executive Director Fred Monroesaid Gov. Andrew Cuomo should commission astudy on the economic and social impacts of furtherstate land acquisitions inside the Blue Line. Monroeadded that the state’s current fiscal crisis is a goodargument against purchasing more land.

“We know the state is experiencing horrible budg-et problems — there are plans to cut back on Med-icaid, welfare, education — and we just paid $30 mil-lion out of the taxpayers’ pocket to purchase a con-servation easement on the remaining Finch lands,”he said. “That happened on the same day that Gov.Cuomo reaffirmed layoffs for 900 state employees —and there’s now talk about laying off another15,000.”

The Re-view Boardresolutioncites num-bers re-leased byDEC Lands& Forest Di-rector RobDavies,which statethat work-ing forestssupport three forestry-related jobs for every 1,000acres of productive forest lands, in contrast to onetourism-related job for preserved woodlands.

Adirondacks,” said Sen. Elizabeth Little,R-Queensbury. “This is an incredible mo-ment on an incredible day.”

The new trails follow the profile of thesame terrain North Creek’s earliest skierstraveled. The Hudson chair lifeline wasonce home to a 1946 t-bar.

When Little asked the surroundingcrowd to raise a hand if they had skied the original LittleGore, the majority of hands shot into the air.

“This is a historic preservation project,” said ORDAchairman Joe Martens. “The Town of Johnsburg pushedvery hard for this project and made clear just how impor-tant this was to the town.”

Little also praised the interconnect as a means to sup-port the economic development of the village of NorthCreek.

“What this will do for the hamlet of North Creek willinvolve them in the whole ski experience,” she said. “Wewill be a destination. It goes to show that persistence paysoff.”

As Emily Stanton, Gore Mountain marketing director,welcomed the many skiers and riders who waited to be thefirst to try the new lift she commended the Hudson chair-lift as, “the starting point of an elevation of 3600 feet anda new starting point for the region.”

“It is the people of Gore that make this special,” shesaid. “I wish I had a bottle of champagne right now.”

Skiers and snowboarders can now park at the Ski Bowland have access to all of Gore Mountain. The connectionbrings Gore the title of being the sixth largest ski resort inthe east and is a result of years of planning, beginning withthe formative ideas of past Johnsburg supervisor BillThomas.

Current supervisor, Sterling Goodspeed, rememberswhen people didn’t know there was a village at the baseof Gore Mountain.

“The world just found our village at the base of themountain,” he said.

JOHNSBURG — When 1:30 p.m. rolls around at Johns-burg Central School (JCS), Darlene Urbonowicz’s pre-kindergarten students often don’t want to go home, she said.Especially last Thursday — sledding day.

JCS’s pre-kindergarten program is in its first year at JCSand was started after the Cheerful Crickets pre-school pro-gram at Tannery Pond Community Center ended last year.

The program at JCS enrolls 15 students and hired Ur-bonowicz as the full-time teacher this year. She brings 31years of teaching experience to the new classroom, includ-ing 18 at JCS and 10 at the kindergarten level.

The students begin their day at 9 a.m. and move throughacademic classes, lunch, art, music, library and gym all intheir own classroom.

Those close to the program feel that it has done nothingbut add to the positive education environment at JCS.

“The students are better prepared to move forward,” saidUrbonowicz.

She acknowledged how academics are becoming increas-ingly difficult at the younger levels.

“The core curriculum in kindergarten classes is changingand academics are becoming harder. Students are now read-ing and writing in kindergarten,” said Urbonowicz. “Pre-kindergarten provides them with a good foundation to suc-ceed.”

She hopes that parents become as involved in the earlylearning as possible and welcomes them to join the class-room at any time.

“I have seen first-hand the great opportunity this has cre-ated for the children of this community,” said JeremyWilliams of JCS’s Parent Teacher Student Association.

His daughter Caroline was a student at Cheerful Cricketsand now attends the pre-kindergarten program at JCS.

The JCS program eases the stress of the transition betweenpre-kindergarten and kindergarten by welcoming studentseveryday as well as following the existing JCS programs, ac-cording to Urbonowicz.

“I hope it’s here to stay,” she said. JCS superintendent Mike Markwica is encouraged by the

success the program has had in its first year.“Our first year is going great,” he said. “We have learned

a lot to make the program better in coming years.”Extensive research was done before starting the pilot pro-

gram to anticipate the size of the class, evaluate costs, etc.and Markwica feels that research was accurate.

“We are satisfied with the numbers and our original pre-dictions have proved correct,” he said. “Our future kinder-garten classes will be stronger because of this program.”

Controversy surrounded the the pre-kindergarten pro-gram at JCS in its formative stages as many felt that it wastoo costly and would present a strain on the school’s budg-et. Markwica feels that those concerns have been deemed in-correct, according to the success of the program.

“It is well worth the cost and it shows in the progress ofour students,” he said.

Snowmobiling has long been a popular sport in the EssexCounty town of Newcomb, and it’s been a source of incomefor some small businesses, like the Newcomb House Bar &Grill and Aunt Polly's Bed & Breakfast. But Newcomb hastraditionally been seen as a “dead end” by the snowmobil-ing community, a destination, yes, but on the way tonowhere. Two main factors added to this perception: No gaspump in town and no through-trails for snowmobiles.

This winter, that's all changed, and Newcomb is poised tobecome a haven for snowmobiling.

The Northwoods Diner and General Store in Newcomb re-cently opened a gas pump — the first one in town in almosta decade — and the new snowmobile trail from Newcombto the Hamilton County town of Indian Lake is now open.This is being seen as a perfect recipe for economic opportu-nity in Newcomb, now that sledders can drive from the townof Long Lake to Newcomb to Indian Lake and destinationssouth. It creates a long-distance loop for snowmobiles trav-eling from Inlet and Old Forge, known widely as the “Snow-mobile Capital of the East.”

The new trail has only been open less than a month, andearly snow wasn’t optimal for a smooth-riding base. Yetthere has been some interest in Trail 538.

Alexandra Roalsvig, director of the Long Lake Tourism

Department, recently spoke to some snowmobilers whowere gassing up at the local Stewart's Shop, and she likedwhat she heard.

“They came to Long Lake because they knew they couldget to Indian Lake from Long Lake,” Roalsvig said. “Byhooking up with Indian Lake, we're getting a whole new au-dience.”

There are more than 100 miles of free, groomed trails inthe town of Long Lake, home to the Moonlighters Snowmo-bile Club. There are no permit fees, which could draw sled-ders from other areas, such as the towns of Old Forge andInlet, where permits are required on the hundreds ofgroomed trails there. And connecting to Indian Lake candraw long-distance sledders from as far away as Speculator.

Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce President NancyHarding, co-owner of Marty's Chili Nights restaurant in In-dian Lake, said she hopes the new trail will attract moresnowmobilers to her town.

“It should be a help in the long run,” Harding said, addingthat the chamber has already received some inquiries aboutTrail 538.

Any town with restaurants and lodging has an opportu-nity to draw the snowmobiling crowd, especially those whowant to travel long distance. Long Lake and Indian Lake areready, but Newcomb today only offers a couple of choices inthe winter. Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said hehopes that will change with time and that Trail 538 will sparksome economic development in town. There is even talkabout extending snowmobile trails to Minerva and NorthHudson.

When the Nature Conservancy announced the $30 millioneasement purchase in a press release on Dec. 30, 2010, offi-cials said the agreement — which limits development, al-lows for the harvest of timber, and opens up the land to out-door recreation — “supports timber industry jobs, boosts thestate’s recreation and tourism economy and, at the sametime, preserves 89,000 forested acres concentrated in the ge-ographic heart of the Adirondacks.”

In the release, tourism officials beamed with excitementover the possibilities for increased tourism traffic. One afterthe other, they lined up to offer their take on the purchase.

Jim McKenna, executive director of the Lake Placid-basedAdirondack Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism said,“The Adirondacks are repeatedly picked by AAA as NewYork’s number one destination for leaf peeping … Many ofthe lands protected by this agreement are the very placespeople travel here to see in all of their autumn splendor —helping to increase economic activity to our communities.”

Dave Perkins, executive director of the New York StateSnowmobilers’ Association said, “Snowmobiling generates$800 million in spending per year in New York state. If youlook at a statewide map of the trail system, there’s a hole inEssex County, which means we’ve been missing out on ashare of that money as a result. The trails we can now use

because of this conservation easement are helping to fill thatgap in a big way.”

Barry Hutchens, Indian Lake town supervisor said, “In-dian Lake has been paying to lease snowmobile trails on anannual basis … Now, with the uncertainty associated withyear-to-year leasing erased, we see these trails as permanentand valuable assets that can help our struggling winter econ-omy and our town budget appropriations.”

Canon added, “This easement is a step toward makingNewcomb a central hub for snowmobiling and winter recre-ation. It’s pretty great to get some real economic benefit fromit.”

Canon, Roalsvig and Harding all believe that their townscan become snowmobile hubs thanks to Trail 538. But will itmake an economic impact this year? They all say it’s too ear-ly to tell.

Monroe said now is not the time for government to spendmore than $40 million, claiming that such a purchase wouldput North Country residents out of work.

“We know that’s what is going to happen, when you takethat working forest and make it a non-working forest,” hesaid. “There just doesn’t seem to be a good reason for that.It’s been well-protected for generations and managed byFinch before there even was a forest preserve.”

But Nature Conservancy spokeswoman Connie Prickettsaid her agency has been working on the Finch project since2007 and has included local governments and town boardsevery step of the way in the decision-making process.

Prickett also notes that the overall plan for the Finch landswas presented as an integrated package. She says variouseasement and fee components boost a variety of economicand recreational opportunities.

Nature Conservancy Executive Director Mike Carr de-scribed the Review Board resolution as “unfortunate,” not-ing that his agency has worked hard with each municipalityinvolved with the Finch project, first with the easement saleand then with the fee purchase.

“We think this will be a big blast to the tourism and recre-ation economy in a lot of these towns,” he said.

For his part, Monroe says members of the review boardhave met with Gov. Cuomo’s environmental secretary re-garding last week’s resolution.\

Monroe says that if the new governor is serious about get-ting New York’s fiscal house in order, he should consider call-ing for an in-depth study into the purchase of land in theAdirondacks.

Newly-elected Review Board Chairman Gerald Delaney ofSaranac Lake said the state should consider the economic andcultural impacts of their preservation purchases.

“The state should buy only truly unique pieces of land likethe high peaks and sensitive areas like swamp land,” he said.They should leave the working forests alone before we loseour heritage, jobs and economy.”

LAKE PLACID — Skiers at Whiteface Mountain were leftstranded on chairlifts twice over the weekend and into thisweek.

Officials with the state Olympic Regional DevelopmentAuthority say the Lookout Mountain chairlift experienceda malfunction at about 11 a.m. Sunday.

That incident left skiers hanging in the air for some 45minutes. ORDA spokesman Jon Lundin told news outletsthe malfunction was caused by a faulty communicationswire.

Additionally, the Summit chairlift began experiencingproblems at about 11 a.m. Saturday, due to a reported prob-lem with weighting along the lift cables. That forced White-face crews to shutdown the lift through Monday.

No injuries were reported following the malfunctions.In December, a ski patrol member was injured following

a lift malfunction that left 76 people in the air for nearly twohours. Last week, an ORDA employee was seriously injuredwhile performing maintenance on a lift at Kids Kampus.

InBrief

Several events have hit home with me recently, caus-ing me pause and to reflect about the true meaningand impact they have, not only on my life, but the

lives of all who share this small world we all call home.Perhaps like you, I pull from life experiences to draw

perspective on current events. I thought back to my child-hood upbringing. I was taught to respect the differences ofothers and to be tolerant of those around me, for they alsohad “rights,” In the early 1960s, my family moved fromwestern Pennsylvania to the deep south, in Texas.

Two situations crossed my mind.For those of you who may not have been around back

then, the nation was dealing with severe racial issues andAfrican Americans in our society had not yet achieved trueequality. I recall after school I would hang around andhelp the African American janitor empty waste paper cansand sweep the floors. Our neighborhood wasn’t raciallydiverse, but I had no preconceived notions about suchthings. I must have been in second grade or so and no onewas paying me or forcing me by way of punishment to bethere. We came from very different backgrounds, but I re-call enjoying his company. He was a nice man and welaughed and talked about the events of our day. Of course,I was pretty much oblivious to the racial issues, except forsome cautioning by my parents. I didn’t know or careabout the racial events swirling around. He accepted me

and I him.About the same time I recall a school yard bully. He was

about a year or two older than I, and for a period, everytime he would see me, he would grab me by the shouldersand throw me to the ground. And I wasn’t the only onewho suffered this ritual fate. I didn’t know him, nor did Iever have a run-in with him before this started, but beinglarger and tougher in appearance than me at the time, Ihad no choice but to brush myself off and try my best tosteer clear of him on the playground at recess. Then oneday he approached me, and as I prepared to bite the dust,he stopped, apologized and asked if we could be friends.At the time it seemed like a great alternative to not beingfriends.

As we palled around, I discovered we had many differ-ences and oddly enough he was an atheist going to aCatholic school. On occasion, the kid would eat dog or catfood. Gainesburgers had recently been introduced and Irecall he considered them a delicacy. Despite his encour-agement, there was no way I was putting that stuff to mylips. We would talk about religious beliefs, and while wenever swayed each other, it never seemed to matter to ei-ther of us. I later learned more about the difficult life andpoverty his family experienced.

As we fast forward to 2011, I can’t help but wonder whywe can’t accept the differences among us and be more tol-erant of each other. As a young child, I was able to acceptpeople for who they were with no strings attached. Butmore and more these days people seem to be confusingfreedoms with an entitlement to control. We hear stufflike, “I’m entitled to have whatever I want and anyonewho stands in the way of my choices will just have tochange their ways because this is MY America and any-thing that I find opposed to MY Way of Life must bewrong!”

The Bill of Rights guarantees us certain freedoms,among them the right to assemble, to speak freely, to re-spect the establishment and practice of religion, to be se-cure in our homes and to not unduly deny the rights ofothers. But these laws designed to protect the freedoms ofall are being used by a few who find some actions or activ-ities offensive to their beliefs.

In Essex County government, some find a short prayerbefore the session offensive. In Tupper Lake, despitestrong community support, we see environmental groups

blocking needed economicdevelopment proposed bythe Adirondack Club. Lastyear, we saw some of thesame groups behind block-ing the development on theLewis Family Farm in Essex.

There are many things go-ing on all around us thatsome find offensive and yetothers find very acceptableand that’s OK. We can and will have differences. It is thosedifferences that make us strong and unique.

But there are big differences between offending actionsand seeking to control everything you see, hear and want.You might be offended by hearing a prayer. So come to themeeting a few minutes late or close your eyes and listen toyour iPod… you’ll survive the experience. You might beoffended that in this tiny hamlet of Tupper Lake a resortclub and homes will be built, people will have jobs, store-fronts will be a filled, and money will again flow throughthis once prominent community improving the quality oflife for those who make this area their home… you’ll sur-vive if they build it, while many may not survive if itdoesn’t get built.

Last week I attended the Bullying Discussion hosted byMAPP. The discussion focused on bullying in our schools.We heard about local statistics, watched a video that fea-tured a number of children around the country who havebeen bullied because of simple and meaningless differ-ences. Some have even been driven to commit suicide.Like my friend in grade school or the elderly janitor whotaught me much about people, I didn’t have to agree withtheir beliefs or the things they did to accept them. Skincolor, religious or political beliefs, mode of dress, color ofyour hair, where you choose to live or other life stylechoices ... there are plenty of days I shake my head at theactions of others who think and act differently than I, but,in the end, so long as they are doing no personal harm toanyone, I can respect their right to share this small worldand enjoy the control, over their life choices, that I havethe right to expect in my own life choices.

In response to easment purchaseTo the News Enterprise:Last week, you printed an article that was critical of the state’s

recent purchase of a conservation easement on about 89,000 of landand water in the Adirondack Park from the Nature Conservancy.The writer overlooked some important facts.

The state spent $30 million from the Environmental ProtectionFund to buy development rights and recreational rights on theseformer Finch, Pruyn & Co. lands. But the deal was even better forthe economy than for the environment. The money was spreadacross 27 Adirondack towns, where new snowmobile trails, hik-ing trails and fishing access will be opened to the public for thefirst time in 130 years. That’s a $1.1 million average investment ineach town’s tourism.

The deal had the support of all 27 Adirondack town supervi-sors, every one of whom knew the details and negotiated specificbenefits for his/her community. For example, North Hudson,Newcomb, Long Lake, Minerva and Indian Lake will share a brandnew trail network as part of 75 additional miles of snowmobiletrails that can be wider and more easily groomed than trails onpublic Forest Preserve. Other towns asked for and received ac-cess via float plane to remote lakes. In addition, the Nature Con-servancy made sure the former Finch papermill in Glens Falls wasguaranteed a supply of pulp timber from these lands for at leastthe next 20 years.

At the same time, the state’s easement purchase prevented theloss of timber industry jobs that would have come if these landswere subdivided and purchased for other purposes. Once some-thing like that happens, the opportunity to harvest the trees for pa-per and wood products is gone forever – on some of the park’smost productive timberlands.

Some people might be surprised to learn that the work of land-saving organizations such as The Nature Conservancy, Open SpaceInstitute, Conservation Fund, and others, is what has saved thetimber industry in the Adirondacks. All of the park’s major timbercompanies fled the Northeast in the past 25 years, selling theirlands and closing their mills. This includes Champion Interna-tional, International Paper, Diamond International, Domtar In-dustries, Finch, Lyons Falls Pulp & Paper, and a host of others. To-gether, they owned more than one million acres of private forestsin the Adirondack Park. It all went on the market.

If those companies had sold their lands to developers, no onewould be talking about putting public trails on them. We wouldall be watching the new owners build fences and put up postedsigns. We would be wondering what might happen to those forestswe know and love. Instead, more than two dozen Adirondacktowns took matters into their own hands and forged a deal thatwould benefit everyone. This is a reason to celebrate, not second-guess.

Thoughts on high costTo the News Enterprise:Local residents are increasingly upset with the high cost and

wasteful practices that Johnsburg Central School authoritieshave fostered over the years. Teachers, who play the most im-portant role in educating our children, now work in a less thanefficient environment, taxpayers are saddled by decades of bur-densome property taxes and above all, JCS student’s perform-ance and future careers suffer from poor and undemanding ed-ucational culture.

The report prepared by the Johnsburg Citizens Budget Com-mittee (JCS-CBC)and submitted to the school board last Oct. il-lustrates the shortcomings of school management. Since thattime school authorities have done their best to bury the report.

On Jan. 19, the Center for American Progress published a ma-jor study entitled (Return on Educational Investment: A districtby district evaluation of educational productivity). The resultof this study supports the key findings of the JCS-CBC Report.It rates the Johnsburg Central School District among the mostexpensive and among the lowest achievement in terms of edu-cational performance of all school districts it evaluated in NYS.(Ratings were generated after adjusting for factors such as trans-portation, cost of living and student needs like special educa-tion, free or reduced meals, etc. the full report and district-by-district comparisons are available at http//www.american-progress.org/ROI).

As the public becomes more aware of high costs and waste-ful practices, JCS authorities must respond more seriously andmore responsibly than they have so far.

In Essex County

ELIZABETHTOWN — Whether the price tag or the timing,some supervisors questioned a resolution tobond for the replacement of four loaders forthe Department of Public Works during the Es-sex County’s Ways and Means committeemeeting Jan. 31.

The loaders were part of a $950,000 bondproposition, along with other equipment, thatwas debated by supervisors. The resolutionmade its way out of the committee by a 13-5vote and will be brought up for a final vote atthe Feb. 4 county board meeting.

“I don’t think that we should do this be-cause we are asking everyone to cut back intheir budgets and this seems off that we aregetting four new loaders,” Willsboro supervisor Ed Hatch said.“The county highway department makes up 35-percent of theamount to be raised by taxes, and we should be looking at themto see how they can cut back because we have a lot of duplica-tion between the towns and the county.”

Westport supervisor Daniel Connell said he wished the re-quest would have been made while preparing the 2011 budget.

“I’m conflicted because I feel we should have put this into thebudget,” Connell said. “I know that we really need to buyequipment, but we should have thought this out during thebudget process.”

Keene supervisor William Ferebee, who oversees the DPW,said he agreed with the move to replace the loaders partially forthe return on investment.

“The trucks should all be driven until they are run into theground, but if we can make a move and recoup some of the costfrom the loaders while they still have a high resale value, thenwe should do this,” Ferebee said.

DPW head Anthony LaVigne told supervisors the DPW cur-

rently has three loaders that are assigned to road crews, one atthe county garage and another at the county gravel pit in Mo-riah.

St. Armand supervisor Joyce Morency said she would sup-port the resolution because she felt the DPW is stretched out fi-

nancially as is.“The first person that is always asked to cut in

the budget is the DPW,” Morency said. “Repairscost a fortune, so I am going to support this be-cause these machines also provide for our townsas well as the county.”

Moriah supervisor Tom Scozzafava wonderedif the loaders should stay in the county’s handsfor more time.

“The more we talk about this, the harder it getsfor me to support this because if these loadersare in such great shape, then why are we look-ing at replacing them?”

County Manager Daniel Palmer said the loaders were up forresale now because after five years in service, which they areentering into, they start to lose resale value, making now thebest time to look for replacements and to trade the current set.

“If the department head says that we need new equipment,then I don’t see why we shouldn’t follow that recommenda-tion,” North Elba supervisor and county vice-chairman RobertPoliti said.

Scozzafava brought up the notion of using fund balance topay for the new equipment, but Palmer said the county shouldhold on to its funds as he was concerned rainy days were ahead.

“You may need it to add to the general fund if we are deal-ing with a property tax cap like the governor is proposing,”Palmer said. “You have to be very careful right now with howyou use that fund balance.”

The full county board will meet Friday, Feb. 4, at 10 a.m. inthe old county courthouse. There will be no other committeemeetings throughout the month of February as supervisors willbe attending several conferences on town and county matters.

CHESTER — An ambitious retail de-velopment is planned for NorthwayExit 25, and area officials say it mightboost tourist and commercial activityin Chestertown and Brant Lake.

John Behan, a community plannerand architectural designer fromChestertown and Saratoga Springs, isplanning to build a two-story retailcenter, called Chestertown Gateway,next to the Exit 25 southbound of-framp.

The the L-shaped building is intend-ed for a convenience store and gas sta-tion, plus a restaurant and shops to sellAdirondack foods and crafts.

The development, set on a two-acreparcel at the intersection of I-87 North-way and state Rte. 8, has received site-plan approval from the town of ChesterPlanning Board.

Behan said this week that if he andhis wife Cynthia line up some addi-tional investors in the project, Chester-town Gateway could be open for busi-ness as soon as summer 2012.

“We want to offer something reallynice and different to prompt travelersto get off the highway — someplacenice and pleasant,” Behan said. “Wesee a need for a unique place for busi-nesses that’s affordable, accommodat-ing both local folks and travelers.”

He said Chestertown Gatewaywould offer both travelers’ necessitiesand locally created products thatwould support various area business-es, whether it’s Adirondack furnitureand décor items, locally-grown orprocessed foods, or quality mountaincrafts.

Chestertown Gateway, he added,would add up to dozens of new jobsand bring in revenue from travelerswho would not otherwise be visitingand spending money in Chester.

The building would feature Adiron-dack-style architectural cues, includ-ing styling details that would be re-flected in the canopy overhanging fourgasoline pumps. Initial renderingsshow a building with multiple dorm-ers, a deck and a historic, semi-rusticappearance.

Behan added that his developmentwas likely to boost business in down-town Chestertown by drawing mo-

torists off the Northway — and manyof them would likely venture downRte. 8 to explore the hamlet, which hasexperienced a drastic decline in touristtraffic over the past several decades.

“It will be a pleasant place offeringunique things, and will supplementwhat’s now available,” he said.

Town of Chester Supervisor FredMonroe agreed that the development,as proposed with local crafts andfoods, would be good for commerce intown.

“The traveling public loves placeslike that — it sounds like an idea thatwould attract people and draw theminto downtown and help all local busi-nesses,” Monroe said.

Behan said the project was likely tocost between $1 million and $2 million

to build, and would have 10,000 squarefeet of space. Both the upper story andlower story would be on ground level,as the site is sloped, he said.

John Behan, the Principal of BehanPlanning & Design, has been helpinglocal citizens in their efforts to beauti-fy and revitalize the Chestertown ham-let.

Mary Jane Dower, chair of theChestertown Main Street EnhancementCommittee, said that Behan’s Chester-town Gateway would help boostdowntown commerce, as well as enter-prises across Chester and Horicon.

“This development sounds wonder-ful — it’s a big start in helping revital-ize Chestertown,” she said. “Any wayto get visitors to go downtown will begreat.”

New retail complex planned for Chester

Chestertown Gateway, a proposed commercial complex just off I-87 southbound at Exit 25,has been approved. Its developer and designer, John Behan of Chester and Saratoga, isnow seeking additional backers. A summer 2012 opening is envisioned for the develop-ment, which is to include a convenience store and perhaps a restaurant and shops with lo-cal products.

Gillibrand tries to halt congressional raisesBy Chris Morris

denpubs@denpubs.com

WASHINGTON, D.C. — New York’sjunior senator introduced legislationthis week aimed at halting congres-sional pay raises.

Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand’s billwould prohibit automatic raises formembers of Congress. 12 of her col-leagues in the Senate are cosponsoringthe legislation.

The bill mirrors a similar one intro-duced last year by Senator Russ Fein-

gold, a Democrat from Wisconsin.According to Gillibrand, the legisla-

tion would end the annual cost-of-liv-ing adjustment provided to membersof the Senate and the House of Repre-sentatives.

“Hardworking, middle class work-ers are never guaranteed an annual payraise, and neither should their leadersin Congress,” Gillibrand said in a pre-pared statement.

In 2010 and 2011, individual billseliminated the pay raise temporarily.

Gillibrand’s legislation would per-manently end the practice.

State layoffs may near 10,000 employees

By Chris Morrisdenpubs@denpubs.com

ALBANY — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo unveiled his firstexecutive budget Tuesdayafternoon – a fiscalplan that features no new taxes and no new bor-rowing.

Cuomo’s proposed $132.9 billion budget in-cludes the potential for up to 9,800 layoffs with-in the state workforce.

The governor’s fiscal plan comes in at about$2.1 billion less than the current year, which to-tals approximately $135 billion. The state is fac-ing a budget deficit in excess of $10 billion.

Before Cuomo took the stage to deliver hisbudget address, Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy said thefiscal plan for 2011-12 will make New York com-petitive once again.

“New York ranks, currently, 50th in terms ofbusiness climate across the country,” he said. “We are bleeding peo-ple and jobs – they’re leaving the state. The most important thingI can see is it stops today.”

Duffy also noted that Cuomo has cut state operations by 10 per-cent.

“The rest of the state is being cut by approximately two percent,”he said. “So for those who may feel some pain, one thing I wouldoffer is that if you want to trade your two percent for the gover-nor’s 10 percent, he would gladly take it. He has taken the painhimself and made some very painful decisions with this process.But it has to start right at home with state government.”

The budget calls for a 7.3 percent cut in state aid to school dis-tricts, down $1.5 billion from past years. That amounts to 2.9 per-cent less state aid in 2011-12.

Cuomo also hopes to use attrition to achieve a savings of $550million next year.

Budget Director Robert Megna hailed Cuomo’s budget as vi-sionary. “This is a transformational budget that stops the cycle of

relentless and unaffordable spending growth,” he said. “It changesthe way the state does business in very fundamental ways.”

Overall, the plan reduces the state budget by 2.7 percent. Cuo-mo says the budget addresses New York’s massive deficit and tar-gets projected deficits in future years.

Cuomo says that for too long, the state spent more than it made.“Over the past 10 years we’ve had a spending av-erage of 5.7 percent while only bringing in 3.8 per-cent in tax receipts,” he said. “We were spendingmore money than we were making as a state. Wewere spending more money than we were makingas people.”

So far, Cuomo has received both praise and crit-icism for his budget.

Environmental officials hailed him for holdingthe line on the Environmental Protection Fund.

Meanwhile, business leaders say the budget willend overspending that has forced jobs from thestate.

Health care officials say his plan to cut some $1billion from Medicaid is too much and could dev-astate hospitals.

State Senator Betty Little said Cuomo’s approach to the budgetis something New Yorkers haven’t seen for years.

“This is a clarion call for government to be something it is nottypically: innovative,” she said.

“Government is notoriously inflexible but now is the time tothink creatively about ways to operate more efficiently, eliminatewaste and redundancy wherever possible and ensure that state re-sources are used in the best way possible.”

Cuomo called upon legislators to pass at least two bills in thecoming months. For starters, he wants broad ethics reform.

Secondly, he wants lawmakers to pass his budget in a timelymanner.

“Pass it without getting ugly,” Cuomo said. “Pass it even thoughit’s hard. Pass it even though the lobbyists are beating you up. Passit even though it’s difficult. And say to the people of this state: westepped up.”

Cuomo said lawmakers can do more good for New York in thecurrent legislative session than politicians have done in decades.

LAKE PLEASANT— Hamilton County has joined forces withthe state Department of Environmental Conser-vation (DEC) and the Adirondack CommunityTrust (ACT) to provide local young people withenvironmental work opportunities within theAdirondack Park.

The Hamilton County Workforce InvestmentBoard (WIB) is working with the DEC to form aprogram that will recruit young people to workas assistant rangers at Moose River Plains WildForest.

The two groups were approached by the ACTto help fund the program through a $5,000 grant.This will supplement the existing funds from theWIB’s Summer Youth Program. Funds may alsobe available from the Workforce Investment Act,but outside funding hinges on what the DEC ul-timately decides to provide.

Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman William Far-ber is encouraged by the support shown in the program’s forma-tive stages.

The assistant ranger program is designed to work with Hamil-

ton County’s plans to foster job and recreational opportunitieswithin the Adirondack Park, according to Farber.

“The locally developed program is in the early planning stages,”he said. “I am very positive about the presence of jobs where peo-ple have the opportunity within the environment that exists with-

in the Adirondacks. It will give young people ataste of the long-term opportunities available.”

Farber also spoke highly of the working rela-tionships that have begun with the assistantranger program.

“These are the kinds of partnerships necessaryas we go forward with strained budgets,” he said.

The WIB’s Summer Youth Program usuallymarkets their programs in local high schools, butthis program may present the opportunity towork with local community colleges with envi-ronmental studies programs in adjacent counties,according to Farber.

The program plans to place assistant forestrangers at Moose River Plains for interpretation

purposes, to answer resource questions and assist in minor main-tenance.

The WIB hopes to start planning the assistant forest ranger pro-gram early in the fiscal year in order to have recruitment plans inplace by April.

CHESTER — The state campgroundnamed for the historic resort ScaroonManor will be open to public camping be-ginning this summer, a state Department ofEnvironmental Conservation (DEC) em-ployee recently told Adirondack officials.

The sprawling former luxury resort onthe shores of Schroon Lake is being up-graded with new facilities to convert it froma state day-use destination to accommodateovernight camping — with 62 campsites.June 24 is the target date for the opening ofthe upgraded facilities.

On Jan. 26, DEC Region 5 Operations Di-rector Jim McEnaney told members of theAdirondack Park Local Government Re-view Board that his agency has made arange of changes that include making the

Scaroon Manor Campground and Day UseArea one of the most accommodating facil-ities of its kind to those with mobility dis-abilities.

Scaroon Manor’s rest rooms, showers,beaches, docks and buildings will all haveunobstructed access, McEnaney said. Evensome trails on the 241-acre campgroundwill be paved, he added.

“We’re excited about the project andwhat it will offer campers,” he said, notingit will offer the most barrier-free access ofany facility of its kind across the state, if notthe nation. “It will be a beautiful facility.”

Review Board Executive Director FredMonroe welcomed the announcement.

“This is very good news, and it will be aboost to the economy in northern WarrenCounty,” he said.

During 2011, half of the campsites will beavailable to the first campers who arrive on-site. The other half will be offered only byprior reservations.

Scaroon Manor was a grand, exclusiveresort that dates back to the 1880s. It closedin 1962 and was purchased i8n 1967 by thestate, which had many of the buildingsburned down, while some cabins weremoved to Pottersville. Remains of a 500-seat amphitheater, where vaudeville showsand world-class shows were presented, re-mains on the property. Scaroon Manor waschosen as the setting for the classic movie“Marjorie Morningstar,” which starredGene Kelly and Natalie Wood.

McEnaney also announced that the stateplans in upcoming years to develop a mile-long nature trail to connect the ScaroonManor Campground with primitive hike-in state campsites, to be built at nearbyCamp Cayuga.

Campers may reserve a campsite by con-tacting Reserve America online athttp://newyorkstateparks.reserveameri-ca.com/ or by phone at 1-800-456-CAMP(1-800-456-2267).

Where’s the trail?

Iwas still a teenager, when I began working for the re-cently created, NYS Department of EnvironmentalConservation in the spring of 1974. My first assign-

ment was as a laborer with a Trail Crew tmaintaining thehiking trail to the summit of Hurricane Mountain, nearElizabethtown.

The Fire Tower Observer was our supervisor, and he hada real bad attitude with the new agency, which he calledthe blankety-blank, “Department of Eternal Consterna-tion”.

He regularly complained that the new agency, which re-placed the venerable, old Conservation Department, wascomposed of “more fools than tools”, especially since wewent through equipment faster than the department couldafford to replace it.

Trail work was a muddy, buggy and backbreaking en-deavor. We were particularly hard on the equipment aftermy fellow laborers learned if they broke the handles offenough shovels, our efforts would be relegated to trim-ming bushes and whipping weeds; rather than movingboulders and installing water bars along the steep trail.

At the time I was an avid hiker, often climbing in theHigh Peaks with Geoff Carleton, a well-known birder fromElizabethtown. For me, the trail work was entertaining,with a mix of hard work and the pleasure of being in thewoods.

But when the camping season opened in late June of1974, I was fortunate to transfer to Lincoln Pond StateCampground, where I began a five-summer stint as a Life-guard. Although I actually enjoyed the trail work and themountaintop vistas, the view on the beach was much betterfor a teenager.

In 1974, the department’s hiking literature indicated thatthere were a total of over 2000 miles of marked hikingtrails within the Adirondack Park. In 1980, Essex Countytourism brochures touted the same 2000-mile tally. In 1990,I Love New York tourism still maintained that there were

2000 miles of maintainedtrails.

Even though nearly fortyyears have passed since Ifirst discovered the totaltrail mileage tally, (in whichtime NY state has sinceadded an additional onemillion acres of land to theForest Preserve), the samefigure of 2000 miles of trails,is still accepted as fact to-day.

In a publication publishedby the National OutdoorLeadership School, authorsBruce Hampton and David Cole explained that our nation’strails are declining in total, “In the 1930s, our nationalforests had 132,000 miles of trails; today there are fewerthan 100,000 miles…. Today, although our national forestbackcountry has 25 percent fewer trails, the public's use oftrails has grown steadily. For every person hiking a trail in1960, more than three people now leave their bootprints .”

I wondered if a similar situation was occurring in theAdirondacks, so I posed the question to Tony Goodwin, ofKeene Valley. Goodwin is the Executive Director of boththe Adirondack Trail Improvement Society (ATIS) and theJackrabbit Ski Trail. A well known authority on Adiron-dack hiking trails, he is responsible for maintaining 115miles of ATIS trails in and around Keene Valley, and for the33 miles of the Jackrabbit Ski Trail.

Goodwin explained, “It has not shrunk that significantlyin the Adirondacks. I think you find out the total if youadd up the mileage from the Adirondack Mountain ClubGuidebooks. There may not be a lot of new trails, but therehave not been many lost.”

I wondered, how could it be? So, my first call went outto the Adirondack Mountain Club, (ADK) an organizationthat was formed in 1922 to promote hiking and outdoortravel. From the beginning, ADK has been responsible forthe design and construction of the majority of trails in the

Adirondacks.Today, ADK proudly continues this legacy. Currently, the

organization has a professional trail crew to maintain statetrails under a service contract with DEC. Additionally,various ADK Chapters provide numerous volunteer trailcrews who are responsible for designing new trails andmaintaining the older ones. And, ADK Guidebooks areconsidered the definitive source of information on hikingtrails in the park.

However, even they could not provide a current net totalof the trail mileage in the park. Neil Woodworth, ADK’sExecutive Director explained, “It is difficult to provide anaccurate number, possibly the (DEC's) Unit ManagementPlans could shed some light on it. Rather than creating newtrails, we are rerouting old trails or providing new connec-tor trails for recently acquired lands.”

Woodworth mentioned projects such as new trails to thesummits of Lyon Mountain and Mt. Adams near Tahawus,as examples of ADK’s redesigned trails. These routes nowincorporate a series of switchbacks to combat trail erosion,and lessen the pitch of the climb.

These are new trails, but the cumulative affect has verylittle change in the overall total mileage. It seems that weare not loosing trails, however we aren’t gaining any ei-ther.

Next week, I hope to have a more complete answer to theperplexing question of how the addition of over a millionacres into the Adirondack Forest Preserve, has not changedthe trail mileage in more than 40 years?

It’s derby time!It appears the recent cold snap froze more than the

water pipes in my home ... area lakes are buttonedup as well, like a fine Italian dress shirt.

The lower end of Lake Champlain and nearly all its baysare now fishable, as is the majority of Lake George. Thesmaller lakes are well frozen, though some are difficult tonavigate because of snow and slush.

Popular fishing destinations like Lake Eaton, Long Lake,Raquette Lake, Indian Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, EagleLake, Paradox Lake, Brant Lake and Schroon Lake alsohold fishable ice.

As a result, a handful of ice fishing tournaments loom inthe region, including those in Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake,Schroon Lake, Hague and Pilot Knob.

out the Northeast are expected to converge on Lake Si-mond this weekend for the Northern Challenge Ice FishingDerby sponsored by the Tupper Lake Rod and Gun Cluband the Adirondack Regional Federal Credit Union.
