FORT ANN TOWNSUPERVISOR HAS A PLAN

FOR A PLAN:On her blog, Darlene Dumas says: “It’s time for a new planNow that our Town Emergency Plan is finished, it’s timeto move ahead with the development of a long-term planfor Fort Ann.In 2008, a dedicated group of local residents, in conjunc-tion with professional planners, created The Fort Ann JointCommunity Plan. The plan they created had recommenda-tions for nine different areas of community growth, in-cluding orderly growth, stimulating commercial growth,preserving and encouraging farming, managing residentialgrowth to preserve the Town’s rural character, protectingthe Town’s natural resources, creating a desirable com-mercial/residential location, promoting tourism and re-lated businesses, protecting and enhancing the Town’s en-vironment, and promoting and protecting the Town’s dis-tinctive character. The 32-page document describing theplan was well-done and impressive and can be downloadedhere.Unfortunately, the plan was shelved and essentially ignored.That’s a shame, because every town should have a good,forward-looking plan to guide its growth and direction. The2008 Plan was really well done and the people who workedon it should be congratulated on their accomplishment.Many of its recommendations have stood the test of time.However, because of its comprehensive nature, it includedmany recommendations that were just too much for sometown residents to accept. The proposals for land use andzoning, in particular, were controversial. As a result, theentire plan was shelved.I believe that Fort Ann needs a long-term plan and I aminitiating efforts to create one but I’d like to learn fromthe past. Rather than trying to build one comprehensive,long-term plan, I think it will be easier and will make moresense to break it up into a few simpler steps. At each stepalong the way, we’ll make sure that we continue to havebuy-in from the residents. I do not believe that a town planshould be foisted upon the residents but should rather bedeveloped and implemented through consensus to the great-est extent possible. I also think that we should postponecontroversial parts of the original plan — especially zon-ing and land use restrictions — to some future time. Theresimply isn’t enough support for those in the Town rightnow. Let’s move ahead with what we can accomplish nowand worry about the other things at a later date.Here’s my plan:First, I’ve appointed a small, interim committee to exam-ine the 2008 plan. Rather than starting from scratch, itmakes an excellent starting point. I’m going to ask the in-terim committee to break the 2008 Plan’s many recom-mendations into the following groups:· Things that have already been accomplished sincethat plan was created· Things we might reasonably accomplish in one totwo years· Things we might reasonably accomplish in threeto five years· 2008 recommendations that are no longer ger-mane or no longer seem advisable· Recommendations we need today that weren’t partof the 2008 planThat’s it. That’s Phase I and the result will be a report thecommittee will publicize and provide to the Town Boardfor approval. Upon approval (possibly after modification),we’ll begin Phase 2.What’s that? I’ll appoint a Phase 2 committee. It will takethe one-to-two year recommendations, create a plan forimplementing them and provide a report to the Board. Uponacceptance, the Phase 2 committee will oversee the imple-mentation of the one- and two-year recommendations.At that point, we’ll have made some good planning progressand we’ll start seeing the results of our efforts. Then itwill be time for Phase 3. What’s that? Exactly the samething as Phase 2 but working with the three-to-five yearrecommendations.Finally, we will eventually need a Phase 4 — a process forannually revisiting and updating the Fort Ann Town Plan soit stays germane to the Town as the years roll by.I’m hoping the interim committee will complete its initialreport by midsummer. Then we can all look at it and dis-cuss the recommendations for the first two years and, hope-fully, start making some progress.Time will tell if breaking the planning process into man-ageable chunks will allow us to move ahead but I think itwill. The alternative is to just keep reacting to events asthey occur and that’s not the best way to build a great fu-ture for a town.”

The Fort Edward Village Highway Department will con-duct their annual spring pick-up from now through May29. Yard debris and brush will be picked up every MondayAND Friday. Yard debris MUST be in biodegradable bagsand tree branches/brush MUST be no longer than 5 feet inlength. We DO NOT pick up full trees, stumps or lot clear-ing.

Are You Doing Custom Work Off Your Farm?Perhaps your business needs to create a new entity. Custom farm work is a great way to diversifya business. It can provide supplemental incomebut can also add extra risk and exposure to yourprimary farm. It makes legal sense to structureany type of custom farm service as a separatebusiness. Make sure any liability stays connectedto the custom business and not your farm. For example, trucking, excavation and trans-portation services can hold a high potential forrisk. The odds of getting in an accident are fargreater when you are on the road for long peri-ods of time. If you incur a major accident that transpires into a law suit, your farm’s total assets would besubject to pay the settlements, damages and court fees. However, if your trucking company isstructured as a limited liability company (LLC), only those assets would be in jeopardy.Then the worst-case scenario might be bankruptcy for the custom operation. Farmers who have multiple custom services that don’t share many resources should set up sepa-rate business entities for each custom service. While having multiple business entities can add to your accounting and book work, Janzen be-lieves the extra protection justifies the work. Once you decide to separate your custom farm service, you need to determine which businessstructure best fits your needs. C corp, S corp, LLC, etc. Keep separate checking accounts, records and assets. "Make sure the farm pays the custombusiness for its work, and vice versa. Do not commingle funds, and keep clear records of thecustom business paying employees. Create an annual report for each entity. Yes, it is more book work, but it is work that may pay offin the future.

Reflections: A Different Kind ofParenthoodWritten by Rachel Essaff Maher

Three weeks ago, we adopted a puppy.If you want to have children someday,get a puppy first. It’s like boot camp

for caregivers. I have three little boys and I can hon-estly say that one female puppy is harder than threekids. The teething is much worse; she has eaten sev-eral dog toys, chewed through three tennis balls, andhas dropped her Nylabone on my big toe a couple oftimes now. Her selective hearing is almost admi-rable in terms of dedication. While she can “sit” fora treat, she easily ignores “stay,” “come,” and“omigod, Jackie, my bathrobe belt is not a chew toy!”There are no diapers to change with a puppy though,which seems great until you think of the ramifica-tions of housetraining. Currently, I am potty-trainingmy youngest child, Isaac, while housetraining the dog,Jackie. The two activities are wearing me out, butso far my son is doing much better. For example, hedoesn’t wet the floor out of excitement whenever Ienter the room. And I have found that he can go allday without a single accident, whereas she can onlyremember to go outside when it is sunny and warmout. Little boys are predictable in some ways andcan be rewarded for trips to the potty in simple ways.Puppies, on the other hand, cannot be persuaded intocooperating by big-boy Spider-man undies andSpongeBob stickers.When it snowed out the other day, Jackie whimperedloudly at 5:00 am and I dragged myself out of bed,looking like a wild-haired maniac and not thinking tograb my jacket (under the mistaken idea that Aprilmight possibly be spring time) while she barked andwhimpered and barked again. Then she had to becarried outside after she stopped at the door and re-fused to go out, staring at me as though I had lost mymind to even suggest such a thing, and I had to standout there with her (in my pajamas!) until she realizedthat I was as stubborn as she was and we were notgoing in until her business was finished. Outside,there were other dogs in other yards doing what theywere supposed to do. Meanwhile, my dog was al-ternating between chasing her tail and scratching atthe door while I stood there, shivering and freezingmy butt off nearby until she finally realized that wewere not going in until she fulfilled her end of thebargain. Twenty minutes later, I was finally backinside the house, warming my hands by the electricfireplace when she decided to sneak behind the arm-chair and finish what she had started out in the frozentundra of the backyard. While I cannot say I blameher, I noted with some satisfaction that she had knownwhat she was doing was naughty enough that she hadthought to hide it (so at least she is learning what isgood behavior and what is not) and that’s when I re-alized how similar dogs and children really are.Now Isaac is nearly done with potty-training. Un-like his two older brothers, this has taken almost ninemonths. He is very short for his age and is finallytall enough to complete the process without assis-tance. We are still working on keeping him dry dur-ing the night, a feat that Jackie already has down pat.She is a smart puppy who values a clean crate morethan Isaac values a clean bed, but then again she islocked in there all night whereas Isaac is allowed toroam free. If only the two could collaborate and dis-cuss the benefits of being trained for both parts of theday. Perhaps they could urge one another on or forma support group of some sort. And while I know thatthese early days won’t last forever, I do find myselfdreaming of a day when Pull-Ups are a thing of thepast and the dog can be trusted on the sofa unattended.All in good time, I suppose. All in good time.
