FUTURE HOOP STARS

NORTH RIVER — Someone sur-veying the towering hill behindWhitewater Challengers raftingbusiness along Route 28 in NorthRiver might see trees and brush,boulders and dirt and remnants ofthe latest snow fall. But WhitewaterChallengers owner Marko Schmale

looks at the hillside and sees the fu-ture.

“If it ever became available, Iknew what I wanted to do with thatpiece of property 10 years ago,”Schmale said Feb. 20 as he discussedhis vision for the property. “It be-came available last June and I’vebeen working on it ever since.”

The future Schmale sees for the 17-acre parcel features a forest adven-ture course that includes a tree-top

zip line, a zap line, (a shorter versionof a zip line) along with an interpre-tive hiking trail and two paintballfields.

All are designed to supplementthe whitewater rafting business thathas operated from that locationsince 1984 and broaden the optionsavailable for visitors to the upperHudson River region.

Whereas a rafting trip takes a fullday, Schamle said he’s envisioning

activities that can be enjoyed duringa two-, three- or four-hour time pe-riod.

“Let’s say someone checks into theCopperfield at 1 in the afternoon fora rafting trip the following day,” hesaid. “They’re wondering what theycould do during an afternoon. Thisgives them some options.”

Schmale closed on purchase of theproperty in December. At about thesame time, on Dec. 5, Schmale

“We try to market our-selves as a four-season des-tination,” Hamilton said,adding that the events dur-ing the shoulder seasons ofspring and fall are “critical”to the local economy. “We’retrying to put North Creek onthe map ... and people whoare not familiar with NorthCreek are pleasantly sur-prised because we do have alot of things to offer.”

North Creek Business Al-liance co-chair Mike Bowersintroduced a couple of peo-ple at the group’s Feb. 16meeting who are planningnew events in 2012 for NorthCreek.

“We have some things thatwe’ve been doing every year... but we’ve been askingeverybody to create moreevents to help make us a des-tination,” Bowers said.

His daughter, Anna Bow-

ers, is helping organize aFashion Show down by thetrain station as a fundraiserfor the Business Alliance,which helps market thetown. The show will alsopromote local businessesthat sell clothing. The Fash-ion Show would be held inconjunction with a silentauction and include foodand drink. A tentative dateof Friday, June 15 was an-nounced, but it was not fi-nalized. Volunteers will beneeded.

Anna also announced thatshe will be playing a largerrole in organizing the NorthCreek Art Walks this year,running 5-7 p.m. every thirdThursday May-September.Those interested in signingup should call her for an ap-plication at 251-0199 oremail her [email protected].

Sharalee Falzerano an-nounced a new idea forNorth Creek during the Feb.

16 Business Alliance meet-ing. She owns/operates theCedarwood Bed & Breakfastin North River, works parttime at the Town of Johns-burg Library, and is nowworking on creating a NorthCreek History Tour. This 1-hour tour would start at thetrain station, continue upMain Street, and end at theTannery Pond CommunityCenter.

“My idea is to have it his-toric and accurate for onething, entertaining numbertwo, and I’d like my cus-tomers to feel like they’re re-ally getting something,”Falzerano said.

The tour may stop at fourbusinesses along the way.

“I want them to be historicin nature, as far as the build-ings, so I have a story totell,” Falzerano said. “Iwould like to have them pro-duce or sell something local— whether it’s chocolate orbeer or soap — so that myguests can have a little sam-pling of what’s being of-fered.”

Participants would thenwalk back to the train stationon their own and have achance to visit local shopsalong the way. Falzeranoplans to hire tour guideswho are “on stage” and en-tertaining.

NORTH CREEK — The Tannery PondCommunity Center could have a full-time,paid director by June if a plan announced atthe Feb. 21 Johnsburg Town Board meetingcomes to fruition.

Joel Beaudin, a member of the TanneryPond Community Center Association, toldTown Board members that the association islaunching a search for a full-time directorand has set a budget of $50,000 to fund thenew position.

“We’ve received pledges of $30,000 to-ward that goal,” Beaudin said. “The cam-paign to raise the other $20,000 begins im-mediately. And I feel pretty strongly thatwe’ll be able to raise it.”

Ideally, Beaudin said, funding for the po-sition for year two and beyond would comefrom increased revenues generated by addi-tional events and increased attendance at thecenter.

The association would like the new direc-tor to start work by June 1 in advance of thecenter ’s 10-year anniversary celebration onJune 30.

Of the $30,000 already pledged, the Tan-nery Pond Community Center Associationpledged $10,000, the North Creek BusinessAlliance pledged $10,000 and the railroadpledged $10,000, Beaudin said.

Town Board member Pete Olesheski askedif the association was seeking a financial

contribution from the town to help fund theposition.

“I haven’t even thought about that,”Beaudin said. “But if the town offered, wewouldn’t turn it down.”

Supervisor Ron Vanselow, who also sits onthe Tannery Pond board, said a town contri-bution hadn’t been contemplated at thispoint in time.

The role of the new director will be to helpthe center reach its full potential, Beaudinsaid, by helping fill seats and book events forthe center and assist the town in managingthe facility.

With Tannery Pond positioned as thesouthern anchor of the North Creek businesscorridor, it’s important to help it succeed,Beaudin said. Tannery Pond can be a catalystfor activity throughout the hamlet and be-yond, he added.

“With this at one end and the train at theother, it makes sense to tie them together,”he added. “Our goal is to have people use itand view it as a destination.”

Resident Bob Nessle said he could foreseechallenges in arriving at a working relation-ship between the town, the new director andthe association.

“I’m wondering how the relationship willwork for example with scheduling,” Nessleasked. “And fees for use, who’s responsible?Who is responsible for costs? It’s a fantasticidea but it sounds like there could be a lot ofproblems.”

Beaudin conceded that all those issueswill need to be addressed.

“We need to address them and we need tomove forward with the solicitation (for do-nations) and we need to move forward withthe search for a director,” Beaudin said. “Wedon’t intend to take over. It’s important tounderstand that. We want to help the townmanage it.”

One goal of the new director would be tobalance revenue with expenses, he said.

Board members seemed generally sup-portive of the proposal.

“This is a good opportunity to re-examinehow things work,” Vanselow said. “This is agood opportunity for a symbiotic relation-ship between the building owner (the town)and the association and the community.”

Board member Gene Arsenault said thetiming for a full-time director is right.

“This has come up before and I neverthought the time was right,” Arsenault said.“But now looking at what’s going on aroundtown and the things that are happening,now’s the time.”

Board member Arnold Stevens agreed thathiring a full-time director is a good move.

“This is a great idea and I applaud the as-sociation for pursuing it,” Stevens said.

Details about the new position will beposted on the Tannery Pond website on Sat-urday.

In other business:The Town Board unanimously approved

contracts with five of six volunteer fire com-panies — North River, Johnsburg, BakersMills, Garnet Lake and Riverside. Contract

discussions with the Wevertown fire compa-ny are ongoing.

“There’s a letter from our attorney to Wev-ertown to move that discussion along,”Vanselow said.

The board authorized Vanselow to moveforward with the bid process for the projectto rebuild the town transfer station. The sta-tion burned to the ground last summer afterbeing struck by lightning. The town has beenworking with its insurance carrier and an en-gineer to come up with bid specifications forthe project and it is anticipated the bid pack-ages could be ready for distribution prior tothe next board meeting.

The board authorized Vanselow to pro-ceed with legal notifications required priorto the town undertaking the cleanup of pri-vate property known as the “Denton proper-ty” on Goodman Road. The town has a courtorder that required the owner to cleanup anextensive collection of old tires, propanetanks and other hazardous garbage by lastMay. The property owner hasn’t cleaned upthe property, Vanselow said, and now thetown will proceed with cleanup and levy thecost of doing so against the property.Vanselow said he will look at options for get-ting the work done, either using town crewsand resources or contracting with an inde-pendent entity to do the work.

The Johnsburg Town Board will next con-vene in regular session at 7 p.m., Tuesday,March 6 at the Wevertown Community Cen-ter.

News Enterprise Editorial

All over America, the media isfilled with headlines about amild winter, turning the weather

from small talk to big news.And residents in resort towns such as

North Creek — where we rely on snow tokeep the economy going strong — can eas-ily get depressed when it’s too warm inthe winter.

Like barVino owner Mike Bowers re-cently said in a recent North Creek Busi-ness Alliance meeting: We should all givethanks to the crews at Gore Mountain SkiCenter for creating a great ski experiencethis year, despite the snow deficiency.With snow guns and groomers, they savedthis Adirondack ski town.

Likewise, the Garnet Hill Lodge trailcrew has done an amazing job this winterby opening 30 kilometers of trails, and thebuzz is the skiing is great.

Our downhill and cross-country ski cen-ters are offering top-notch experiences forvisitors, and we should be talking it up.While flowers are blooming in cities to thesouth, the skiers who live there may notknow the skiing is fine here in NorthCreek. Let’s tell them. Everywhere we go,let’s talk it up. Yes, we’re open for skiing!

More snow would be better for the econ-omy, especially in March, typically thestrongest ski month on the calendar.

We hate to say it, though, because itmakes us feel guilty, but the warmerweather actually feels pretty good.

Many who decided to lose weight onNew Year ’s Day can get outside more andwalk on snowless streets and sidewalkswithout much hassle — and without boots.It’s helped our waistlines.

Yet, the mild winter has been throwingoff the regular rhythm of life for humansand other species in the animal kingdom.If you believe all the media hype, the envi-ronment is in turmoil, our bank accountshave been affected, our food supply isthreatened, and our health is in jeopardy.

Is it global warming? Did Nostradamuspredict this? After all, the Farmers’ Al-manac didn’t. For our region, the Almanacpredicted “Average temps, very stormy,snowy.”

“For the winter of 2011–12, the Farmers’Almanac is forecasting ‘clime and punish-ment,’ a season of unusually cold andstormy weather.”

Really? I want my money back.That’s not the story this winter. At least

that’s not what we found in a recentGoogle search for “mild winter.” Here’s

Mild winter keeps jaws flappingThere is a divide

among people andit’s becoming larger

every day — those who can’tlive without a mobile deviceand those who do not ownone. It’s estimated that ap-proximately 73 percent ofthe world’s population hasaccess to a mobile device —either a smart phone, cellphone or tablet.

While these devices areour modern day marvels,one has to wonder if humanity will bechanged for the better as a result of thesepowerful little gadgets or if they’ll even-tually take over our lives and we becomeslaves to a machine. A new phenomena isspreading called nomophobiacs: No Mo-bile Phone Phobia. In a recent surveyabout 66 percent of those questioned suf-fer from this new phobia, affectingwomen at a greater rate than men.

Another survey found that 50 percentof those responding feel anxious whenthey do not have their phone withinreach. And it’s no wonder when we thinkabout how many times in the day wereach for them. On average it’s about 34times a day, but another survey reports ahigher percentage at once every 10 min-utes. When asked which item peoplewould retrieve from a burning house itwasn’t the wallet, purse, passport or fam-ily pictures — it was the mobile.

My concern isn’t the infatuation withthe useful tool. I’m more concerned abouthow they will be used as we move for-ward. In a recent Nielsen survey, inhouseholds owning a tablet and withchildren under the age of 12, 70 percentof those children use the computer tablet— 77 percent for playing games; 57 per-cent for educational purposes; 43 percentto watch a movie or TV show and 41 per-cent to entertain the child while at arestaurant or event. The real concern is,are we turning these devices into high-tech babysitters?

Will the next app be a “Good Parent-ing” app? Children need to learn valuableinterpersonal skills from their parents,not from a computer. I can’t imagine a fu-ture where people lack the skills to dealwith each other face to face, but we needto recognize that we’re now embracing

that future. I saw an inter-esting piece on the eveningnews last week regarding aretired dance instructor,who is working with kidsin an inner city school,teaching them to dance“ballroom” style, face toface. The kids admit it wasvery awkward at first, butthey’ve grown to enjoydealing with their peers inthis manner.

Kids are sponges andthey’ll get lost in the computer screen ifthey see parents constantly watchingtheir smart devices when they should beeducating their offspring. If personal in-teraction and dealing with differing opin-ions is not a learned skill when one isyoung, we may find a generation or twowho will be unable to deal with people.Now I must admit, I too am a smartphone user and while I find it a usefultool, I can understand how it can be anaddictive habit. At business meetings orluncheons nearly everyone, as soon asthey are seated, will pull out a mobile de-vice and set it on the table.

I’m all for advancing technology, butI’m just not certain we aren’t on the slip-pery slope with cute little devices.

Ask yourself these questions: •Have you spent more on accessories

than on your mobile unit?•Do you have over 30 apps installed

and use them all?•Do you have alarms telling you when

to do everything in your life?•Do you read about your phone on

your phone?•Have you cut back on necessities to

afford your month mobile bill?•Have you forgot your mobile and felt

withdrawal symptoms all day untilyou’re reunited?

•Do you meet people who use the samemobile as you, and you can only talkabout the device?

•Have you felt that sinking feeling ofpanic when you touch your pocket/purseand it’s gone?

•It accompanies you to the bathroom?

Living without a mobile device

To judge by the jam-packed Adiron-dack Lakes Center for the Arts roomin Blue Mt. Lake the other week,

Adirondackers are interested in the nativewild cats of the Park.

I was a little late and they would not letme in the over-crowded room, so I had to lis-ten for the first hour behind closed doors. Ata break, I did get in but it was standing roomonly to hear Paul Jensen of the state Depart-ment of Environmental Conservation.

Bobcats are our only relatively commonnative cat, weighing 15 (female) to about 35pounds, but it is so clever and elusive thatyou'd think they must be made of will o' thewisp. Despite a lifetime of woods walkingup here, I had to go to the Sierras to see onedart across a road in front of me, or at leastI think I saw it! Because food is scarce herein the winter, a male roams a territory of 125square miles, managing to kill deer on occa-sion despite the danger to a small animal at-tacking an 130 pounder. One deer lasts themfor weeks. I can't find an estimate of howmany we have in our 10,000 square miles.Males overlap territories being very carefulnot to run into each other, so you can't justdivide.

We had some lynx at one time but oursnowshoe hares do not have the spectacular10-year population cycles of the far north.Here the cycles are local and the numbersvary only four times in size. My sister spenttime near the 60th parallel in Alberta andtells of seeing four lynx kittens in a small

poplar tree in that “northern boreal plains”area. Driving for just 100 yards from thereshe counted 70 hares! That surely was lynxheaven as hares are usually 95 percent oftheir diet. Lynx have an advantage in deepsnow, but with a future of less snow andmore coyotes and bobcats able to competehigher on the mountains, there is not muchhope we will ever have them again.

Jensen also talked about the cougar thatwas sighted just north of Lake George vil-lage a year ago. He showed the 2,000-mileroute from South Dakota the cat took to Con-necticut last year. Our animal was proven tobe the same one by testing hair from whereit bedded down. He says there is no breed-ing population here though ex-pets withSouth American DNA are spotted now andthen

DEC wants to increase the public's “en-

joyment of the bobcat resource” by expand-ing the areas and seasons where and whenthey can be trapped. The trapping season isnow between Oct. 25 and Dec. 10 but will in-crease to Feb. 15 in the Adirondacks. Someof us are unhappy with any leg-hold trap-ping for fun or money. It seems to be ananachronistic, inhumane practice, not justbecause of the physical pain involved espe-cially if the animal chews off a foot to escape,but because of the mental stress on an intel-ligent, exquisitely sensitive animal whosevery essence is freedom. Bobcats are as ca-pable of suffering as your dog or cat, whichsometimes end up in traps too, of course.

In the Adirondack, trappers have to checktraps only every 48 hours instead of the 24in the rest of the state. After being caught ina trap without food, drink, or a way to keepwarm, they are usually clubbed to death toprevent damaging the pelt. Trapping whenbobcats are almost never a “nuisance,” nev-er over-populated and never a danger to hu-mans means that “management” is all aboutregulating trappers, not bobcats which don'tneed it.

New York hikers love to have the rare ex-citement of seeing a wild cat, or at least signsit was there. DEC should leave the “bobcatresource” in our Park for us all to enjoy.They belong to all New Yorkers when theyare alive and free, a charismatic part of ourwonderfully wild forests.

Hester’s History (cont.)How I have sidetracked- but if my

memory would work perfect I would justlove to relate in person, to some interest-ed listener; the happenings of days goneby.

However as I have climbed the hill andam going down on the other side; I like tokeep my soul and mind in the spiritualrealm and be ready for Heaven everyminute. My memory of our Sunday after-noons, when there were no guests presentwas the memory of m mother and fatherspending considerable time singing somegood old hymns, while they had we chil-dren near them, to enjoy our Sunday af-ternoons together, in reverence for God'sday. In later years after someone startedservices in the Will Merrill's church; weattended Sunday afternoon services inthat particular Church.

We didn't think of playing ball orsliding down hill or any violent play oractivity on the Lord's Day. We weretaught to reverence the Lord's Day.

Enjoy each and every day.

M.D. takes issue with publisher’s columnTo the News Enterprise:I must respond to one of your recent Viewpoint editorials because

you make some strong statements which are simply not correct. PlanB is emergency contraception and is not an abortion pill. Plan B isthe same hormone included in many birth control pills and does notinduce abortions.

As stated by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecol-ogists, “Emergency contraceptive pills will not cause an abortion.Emergency contraception is not the same as the abortion pill. Thereis no time when the emergency contraceptive pills available in theUnited States would end a pregnancy once it has started.”

Furthermore, it is not affected by the Affordable Care Act becausewomen do not need a prescription from a doctor to buy it. It is al-ready available over the counter from the pharmacy for women 18years and older. It will remain available over the counter at the phar-macy regardless of this act.

I believe it's important for every American to have access to qual-ity health care and the facts.

Winterfest a great successBy Bill [email protected]

INDIAN LAKE — The town of Indian Lakekicked off its 27th Annual Winterfest cele-bration Friday, Feb. 17 with a Mardi Gras pa-rade down Main Street.

Led by the Mardi Gras King and Queen,Barry and Vicky Hutchins, the parade start-ed at the Indian Lake Town Hall and culmi-nated in the market parking lot at the centerof town. Here the floats were judged as theyentered the lot.

Most parade participants and attendeesassembled in the Indian Lake Restaurant andTavern to get out of the wind and hear theresults of the judging. Kelly King announcedthe winners, with first place going to the GirlScouts’ float entry, second place beingawarded to the King of the Hill float and theHutchins Construction float receiving thirdplace.

The parade was followed by a pasta din-ner at the town’s Legion Hall and many ofthe festival attendees closed the eveningwith the movie, “Drive” at the Indian LakeCommunity Theater.

Saturday morning found the town abuzzwith excitement over the start of the IndianLake Snow Warriors’ annual Poker Run. En-trants registered in the cabin at Byron Park,received a map of the area and zoomed offto as many as 11 businesses throughout thetowns of Indian Lake, Sabael, Blue MountainLake and Newcomb. At each stop the ridersgot the back of their maps stamped and re-ceived a playing card to be used to build apoker hand at the final stop, Swifty’s Restau-rant and Bar, where four cash prizes wereawarded from the days proceeds.

The Snow Warriors kept 50 percent of theproceeds, which are used toward fundingthe cost of grooming the region’s snowmo-bile trails, helping to ensure a quality sled-ding experience and repeat visitation to thearea surrounding the towns.

Saturday morning also found a flurry ofexcitement around both the Indian LakeTown Hall and the Indian Lake CentralSchool.

At the Town Hall, the Friends of the Indi-an Lake Library found their Book and Cook-ie Sale extremely well attended. The Friendsof the Library, headed by President RichardLeonard, use the proceeds of the event tofund various physical needs of the library,computer educational programming andwriters’ workshops. Mary Leonard greetedvisitors at the door of the sale.

“We even fund a scholarship with the pro-ceeds of the sale which is awarded to a localstudent,” Mary Leonard said.

Across Main Street, at the Indian LakeCentral School cafeteria, the Chamber ofCommerce was hosting the Winter Wonder-land Craft Show on Saturday and Sunday.The event showcased quality handmade

items from local artisans and crafts people aswell as those from as far away as Malone. Byall measures, the show was a huge success.Kate Moore, board member of the IndianLake Chamber of Commerce, said this wasone of the most successful and well attend-ed shows in years.

“On behalf of the Indian Lake Chamber ofCommerce, I would like to thank IndianLake Central School, the Town of IndianLake, ILCS student volunteers and ourcrafters for a very successful WinterfestCraft Fair,” Moore said. “We hope to seeeveryone again next year.”

Saturday closed with a roast beef dinner atthe United Methodist Church, a Tricky Trayat the Indian Lake Central School sponsoredby the Class of 2012 and a gift from Old ManWinter in the form of a fresh layer of snow

for Sunday’s winter fun activities at theTown’s Ski Hill.

Sunday morning found the festivitieskicked off with a well-attended and break-fast at the Town Fire Hall. Afterwards, fam-ilies took advantage of a sun-filled afternoonand the fresh snow to have fun competing indownhill races with homemade sleds, ice-skating and playing broomball on the townice rink.

In the evening, festivalgoers assembled atthe ski hill, enjoying skating, skiing, a largebon fire and fireworks.

Many are discouraged by unseasonablywarm and relatively snow-free weather, butthis year ’s Winterfest at Indian Lake showedno hesitancy at celebrating one of our area’smost splendid and beautiful seasons — all inthe heart of the Adirondacks.

INDIAN LAKE — The Indian Lake Theater received a$2,000 grant from the Glenn and Carol Pearsall AdirondackFoundation to team up with libraries across Hamilton Coun-ty and launch a new “One County, One Book” program.

Each season in 2012 Hamilton County Reads will inviteAdirondackers to read the same one book. Each “big read”will conclude with a special live event with authors and film-makers sharing their work and answering questions fromthe audience. Copies of the books will be available at partic-ipating libraries.

“The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food and Love,” by Adiron-dack farmer Kristin Kimball, will kick off the 2012 series. Itis the true story of a single, thirtysomething woman work-ing as a writer in New York City. She begins to feel a senseof longing for a family and for home when she interviews adynamic young farmer. With no knowledge about growingvegetables, let alone raising pigs and cattle and driving hors-es, Kristin tells the story of shedding her city self and mov-ing to five hundred acres in the eastern Adirondacks to starta farm.

On Sunday, March 11 at 3 p.m. the “big read” will wrapup with live appearances by Kimball and filmmaker BenStechschulte, who will be showing his new documentaryfilm “Small Farm Rising.“

“Small Farm Rising” is a one-hour documentary film in-

spired by first-generation farmers (including Kimball) whohave reinvented the small farm in America. Filmed in theAdirondacks, the documentary follows a group of farmersfrom three unique farms as they usher plants, land, and an-imals through an entire growing season.

After the film, Kimball and Stechschulte will join the au-dience for a question-and-answer session about the book,the film, Adirondack farming, and the ways they interact.Then the theater will host a reception with the evening's spe-cial guests.

Look for copies of the book at the Indian Lake Library,Long Lake Town Library, and the Raquette Lake Free Library.

LONG LAKE — Thenewest incarnation of BoyScout Troop 75 is only twoyears old. The boys areyoung, and they’re buildingtheir scout careers one meritbadge at a time.

Scoutmaster Dr. RussellRider and his wife, Maxine,are leading Troop 75 into anew era. With seven scouts— and one pre-scout ready

to become a full-fledgedmember in May — they arestill growing.

The current scouts are allTenderfoots and working ontheir second- and first-classrequirements. They aremainly 11 and 12 years old.And they get a lot of supportfrom the adults in their lives.

“We have a lot of parentalinvolvement,” Maxine said.“We have more leaders thanwe have boys.”

There is a committee of 12

adult leaders: six commit-tee members, includingMaxine; five assistant scout-masters, four of whom areparents of scouts; and onescoutmaster. The Ryders arealso the parents of one of thescouts.

Six scouts attended theCedarlands Scout Reserva-tion in Long Lake during thesummer of 2011 and mem-bers plan on spending timeat one of the Sabattis Scoutcamps this summer.

In the fall, the troophelped with the communitygarden in Long Lake, assist-ing Christopher and CynthiaThompson. The scoutswalked in the 2011 LongLake Memorial Day Paradeand organized a strawberryshortcake sale at the townbeach for the Fourth of Julyas a fundraiser for scoutcamp.

In 2013, Troop 75 plans toembark on a 50-mile journey,canoeing, hiking and per-forming community servicealong the way. Details aboutthe trip are not available atthis time.

For information on Troop75, call the Ryders at 624-5336.

COOKIE DEPARTMENT JOHNSBURG — Johnsburg area firefight-ers with guests from Indian Lake practicedtheir skills and allowed new members to ex-perience airpack and other necessary fire-fighting skills on Sunday, Feb. 19 at a houseon the Goodman Road in the hamlet ofJohnsburg.

The companies included host companyJohnsburg Fire, North Creek Fire, GarnetLake Fire, Johnsburg Emergency Squad andIndian Lake Fire.

Nearly 30 firefighters adding new skills orhoning existing ones took advantage of the“smoke house” to get the feel of a live firewithout the danger of a real fire. This is donewith a fog machine that uses non-toxic the-

ater fog to “smoke up the house.” Partici-pants also practiced remote pumping oper-ations and tanker shuttle procedures for ru-ral water supply as well as other firefightingskills, including live hose line practice andscene support.

Johnsburg Emergency Squad providednormal stand-by and firefighter rehab. Theofficers of the involved companies wouldlike to thank their members, who gave theirtime and efforts to make this a successfulpractice. Fire company officials are thankfulto the owners of the house, Jim and BettyJones, who let the departments practiceskills that are difficult to do without a“smokehouse.”

obtained Adirondack ParkAgency approval for hisproject. He said he’s been tothe Johnsburg PlanningBoard three times as part ofthe approval process, with afourth visit coming thisMonday, Feb. 27, at theBoard’s regular monthlymeeting.

“I’m hoping next Mondaywe’ll have cleared all thehurdles and be good to go,”Schmale said. “Then I’ll behiring a contractor to installthe zip line.”

Planning Board Chair-woman Dottie Osterhoutsaid a public hearing that be-gan at the Board’s Jan. 23meeting was kept open to al-low time for additional com-ments from the public. ThePlanning Board has receivedjust one letter expressingconcerns about the project,Osterhout said.

“I think most of the con-cerns, in my opinion, can bemitigated with rules and reg-ulations imposed by thePlanning Board,” Osterhoutsaid.

She anticipates that theboard will vote on Schmale’sproject on Monday.

“Unless something newcomes up, I believe it willbe,” Osterhout said. “Newinformation can alwayscome to light. But I’d like tohope we can vote on the proj-ect Monday.”

At the Jan. 2 meeting of thePlanning Board, Schmale re-sponded to a Dec. 19 letterfrom the town zoning en-forcement officer and offeredadditional details of his pro-posal:

• The location offers park-ing on-site for 25 vehicles.

• Hours of operations willbe 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday,Wednesday and Friday andweekends.

• Staffing would includeone guide per eight guests;one referee per 10 to 15guests on the paintball fieldswith other staff on duty. Onezip guide per 10 participants;a staff member on duty topark cars.

• Minimum age for the zipline would be 10 years old.

Schmale has existing rest-rooms on-site and will bringin portable toilets to aug-ment those facilities. He haspurchased two new Ford 12-passenger vans that will en-able him to ferry customersfrom remote locations suchas The Copperfield Inn andtransport them to the NorthRiver facility. Doing so has adual purpose, he said. It willenable large groups to traveltogether and will help cutdown on congestion alongRoute 28 in the area of thebusiness.

The paintball fields willhost what Schmale termed asmore recreational, less com-petitive paintball than the“hardcore” games hosted atother facilities.

“So if a group of people onthe spur of the moment said,‘hey let’s go try some paint-ball,’ this would be a placewhere they could do that,”he said.

The interpretive hikingtrail will feature informa-tional graphics describingtypes of trees and otherplants growing along thetrail along with backgroundinformation talking aboutwhy certain plants grow incertain places.

“It’s a nice wooded lot,”Schmale said of the 17-acreparcel. “It’s ideal for a hikingtrail.”

The facility could be openas soon as May if PlanningBoard approval comes soon,he said. When open, the facil-ity will add a half-dozen ormore positions to his existingstaff, Schmale said. He envi-sions hiring two assistantmanager type people to helprun the facility. In addition,he said he’ll need four or fivemore staff to properly assistguests.

“Everybody around townseems excited,” Schmale

said, describing the recep-tion he’s gotten to his plan.“My goal is to be able tomake money and hire morepeople. We want to cater towhat visitors to the areawant and I think offeringthese options is a way to doit.”

Town of Johnsburg PlanningBoard will hold public hearingson Monday, Feb. 27 at the Tan-nery Pond Community Center,lower meeting room, 228 MainSt., North Creek, regarding thefollowing:

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo, NewYork State Education Commissioner JohnKing, and New York State United TeachersPresident Richard C. Iannuzzi Feb. 16 an-nounced an agreement on a new statewideevaluation system they say will make NewYork State a national leader in holding teach-ers accountable for student achievement.

The agreement gives significant guidanceto local school districts for the implementa-tion of a teacher evaluation system that isbased on multiple measures of performanceincluding student achievement and rigorousclassroom observations. The agreement fol-lows through on the state's commitment toput in place a real and effective teacher eval-uation system as a condition of the $700 mil-lion granted through the federal Race to theTop program.

"The goal is and always has been to helpstudents — to give them every opportunity

to succeed in college and careers,” King said.“To make that happen, we need to improveteaching and learning. We owe it to our stu-dents to make sure every classroom is led byan effective teacher and every school is ledby an effective principal."

Plan detailsTeacher Performance – 60 pointsUnder the agreement, 60 percent of a

teacher's evaluation will be based on rigor-ous and nationally recognized measures ofteacher performance. The agreement re-quires that a majority of the teacher perform-ance points will be based on classroom ob-servations by an administrator or principal,and at least one observation will be unan-nounced. The remaining points will be basedupon defined standards including observa-tions by independent trained evaluators,peer classroom observations, student andparent feedback from evaluators, and evi-dence of performance through student port-folios.

Student Achievement in State and LocalAssessments– 40 points

Under the agreement, 40 percent of ateacher's evaluation will be based on studentacademic achievement, with 20 percent fromstate testing and 20 percent from a list ofthree testing options including state tests,third party assessments/tests approved bythe SED and locally developed tests that willbe subject to SED review and approval. Un-

der the plan, school districts will also havethe option of using state tests to measure upto 40 percent of a teacher's rating.

Rating SystemThe agreement significantly tightens the

scoring system to ensure student achieve-ment and teacher performance are bothproperly taken into account for teacher rat-ings. Teachers or principals that are rated in-effective in the 40 points could not receive adeveloping score overall.

Ineffective: 0 – 64Developing: 65 – 74Effective: 75 – 90Highly Effective: 91 – 100

Assigning a Curve for the RatingsThe agreement sets forth, for the first time,

a standard for school districts and teacherunions to set the allocation of points or the"curve" for the teacher ratings. The curvemust be allocated in a manner that a teachercan receive one of the four ratings, and theSED Commissioner will be able to reject in-sufficiently set curves.

SED Commissioner Final ReviewThe agreement also, for the first time,

gives the SED Commissioner the authorityto approve or disapprove local evaluationplans that are deemed insufficient. This willadd rigor to the process and ensure evalua-tion plans comply with the law.

As the winter season begins to show signs of wind-ing down, visions of an early ice out have begun todance through my head like sugar-plums on Christ-

mas Eve. Although the ‘winter that wasn’t’ has yet to pro-duce the deep, lush snowfall that skiers dream of; the seasonhas certainly provided some interesting pockets of opportuni-ty.

A recent ski trip through the Route of the Seven Carries,from Paul Smiths to Lake Clear offered a gentle blend ofwoodland romps and flat ice flings, filled with an interestingassortment of animal tracks which included otter, deer, bob-cat and even moose. The cover on the lake ice was ideal forski skating, and there was plenty of snow in the woods. Inthe course of a full day’s travel over seven carries and acrosseight water bodies, I never encountered another traveler.

A few days later, I encountered crowds and challenging skiconditions at the Mt. Van Hoeven-berg Nordic Ski Center in LakePlacid. Featuring meager snow cov-er, and an icy, hard packed base, theformer Olympic ski trails were inrough shape. I found far less traffic,and much better trail conditions thefollowing day at the Paul SmithsVIC, even though there was a racein progress.

However, the best ski conditions Iencountered during a full week ofadventuring were found in the vil-lage of Newcomb, where I enjoyed agentle ski over generous snow whiletaking an interesting journey intoGreat Camp Santanoni. My visit tothe Land of the South-Slope'rs inNewcomb coincided with an offi-cial, NYSDEC press event, whichwas available by invitation only.Since my editor couldn’t find any-one else to cover the event, I was in-vited. And I’m sure glad I was!

The purpose of the Press Conference was to highlight theunique, historic resource that is Great Camp Santanoni.However, unlike traditional press conferences where the prin-cipals are guarded by a battalion of official spokesmen, andoften remain hidden behind a podium, the event appeared tobe a day away from the office for a group of old friends whoenjoyed remarkable ski conditions in a remarkably, wild set-ting.

The group included a capable combination of journalistsand a few, official DEC spokesmen from Central Office, aswell as current DEC Commissioner Joe Martens, DEC Region5 Director Robert Stegemann, AARCH Executive DirectorSteve Englehart, Executive Director of The Adirondack Na-ture Conservancy, Mike Carr and the local NYSDEC ForestRanger, Dell Jefferies. The only ‘stuffed suits’ in the crowdwere the down vests that some folks wore.

Following a short introduction in the Gatehouse, the grouppromptly geared up and set off. Once on the trail, the formal-ity of the ‘Official Press Event’ was rapidly reduced to a packof pals enjoying a wilderness ski. The conditions were idealwith a packed powder base, covered with a light dusting offresh snow.

With a handful of dogs, and at least one youngster in tow,the group made short work of the journey, amid a lot oflaughter, joking and lighthearted banter. For unexplainedreasons, this appears to be typical behavior during a trip toNewcomb. It seems to have that effect on folks, I guess itmust be something in the air.

Camp Santanoni, which is a designated National HistoricLandmark and is listed on the National Register of HistoricPlaces, was initially purchased by the Adirondack NatureConservancy in 1972, and later transferred to the state, alongwith nearly 12,900 acres of forested lands. It has been classi-fied as the Camp Santanoni Historic Area since 2000, and re-mains one of the finest examples of Adirondack Great Camparchitecture which remains open to the public.

The camp complex, which encompasses over 45 buildings,has been preserved through a unique partnership of not-for-profit, advocacy groups, state agencies and local officials,

which include The Adiron-dack Nature Conservancy, theNYSDEC, Adirondack Archi-tectural Heritage (AARCH)and the Town of Newcomb.The effort was achievedthrough the foresight of adedicated group of enthusias-tic preservationists, aided bya politically savvy, Town Su-pervisor and willing State Of-ficials.

Located at the end of a marvelously maintained, five milelong, carriage road, the camp complex is bordered by theVanderwhacker Wild Forest and the surrounding High PeaksWilderness. It overlooks Newcomb Lake, and the stillwatersof Lower Duck Hole. It remains a diamond in the rough, andthat is its greatest draw.

This winter, the NYSDEC, AARCH, the Town of Newcomb,and SUNY-ESF's Adirondack Interpretive Center have beenhosting special weekends for cross-country skiers and snow-shoers to enable to them to visit the Gatelodge and MainLodge. The events allow visitor to enjoy interpretive tourswith AARCH staff, and to warm up at the Artist's Studio be-fore their return trip. The last of the "open house weekends"will be hosted on March 17-18.

Mike Frenette, the camp’s resident caretaker, carpenter andcaregiver, informed the visiting press corps that over 200guests had traveled to the camp over the past weekend. Heclaimed it was the largest crowd he has ever witnessed, inany season. Without the benefit of Frenette’s fine and friend-ly care, it is doubtful the camp would still be intact, due tothe unrelenting attacks of nature. From shoveling the roofs, to

shoring up the siding to sanding the railings, Frenette’sthumbprint is evident everywhere. Although he has alsoserved as a DEC Interior Caretaker in numerous remote loca-tions, Frenette appears most at home in Santanoni. It’s notdifficult to imagine him, a century past, asking Mr. Pruynwhere to position the flyrod racks. He fits the camp, and itobviously fits him.

Camp Santanoni and the Santanoni Preserve is located inNewcomb, and it is open to the public year-round, 365days/year, 24 hours/day. It is accessible depending upon theseason on foot, by bicycle, on cross-country skis, and via ahorse-drawn wagon. Between the end of June and Labor Day,a half dozen of Santanoni's buildings are open to the publicand can be viewed with the assistance of staff interpreters. Atother times of the year, the Preserve is open but most, if notall, of the buildings are closed and no interpreters are on site.AARCH also offers day-long guided tours of the camp inJune, July, August, and September.

Skiing the south slopes

Mike Fenoff found this nice 8-pointer dead last week in Elizabethtown, ap-parently a victim of a vehicle collision. The deer’s antlers were still very muchattached to its skull.

A shedding storyAn interesting

anomaly seems tobe occurring this

year with the deer herd inthe form of bucks bouncingaround in mid Februarystill wearing head gear.

Normally, bucks will haveshed their antlers by thistime, making way for nextyear ’s set. It is unusual tosee antlers on a deer in midto late February, but that isexactly what outdoorsmenare reporting and many areattributing it to the warmer than normal temperatureswe’ve enjoyed this winter.

I myself saw a nice, high, 6-point behind the house theother day, and my old hunting chum Mike Fenoff stum-bled across a dead 8-pointer in Elizabethtown that wasshowing no sign of shedding its antlers.

“These antlers were not loose at all,” Mike said. “Ipicked him up by them.”

Senior DEC Wildlife Biologist Ed Reed said that whileunusual, a buck still having its horns this time of year isnot unheard of. And, he said the milder than normal win-ter we’ve experienced probably has little to do with thefact that some deer have yet to drop their antlers.

“I really don’t think the weather has had any affect, it isthe length of the daylight and a drop in testosterone fol-lowing the rut that controls it,” Reed said.

The way that daylight affects antler growth is compli-cated. But, to simplify things, the shorter the day length,the less testosterone produced by a deer.

That’s because the length of a day from sun up to sundown is sensed by a deer ’s eyes, which controls the re-lease of different hormones. One of those hormones con-trols testosterone.

So, when the days grow shorter in late fall, testosteronelevels drop causing a layer of cells between the antler baseand the point where it mounts to the head — called thepedicle — to weaken. Eventually, both antlers fall off, aprocess that normally takes place over the course of a cou-ple weeks.

Deer in the Adirondacks normally shed their antlers inlate December or early January, Reed said, but some deermay keep them into February and even March.

Dr. Mickey Hellickson, a biologist with the Quality DeerManagement Assoc., said that along with testosterone lev-els, a deer ’s diet, as well as its age, can also affect when itsheds its antlers.

“A restricted diet has been found to cause bucks to shedtheir antlers early. It has been suspected that the lack ofadequate nutrition somehow affects testosterone output,”Hellickson said.

Also, older-aged bucks are thought to shed their antlersearlier than younger bucks, and more dominant buckstend to cast their antlers sooner than lower-ranked (subor-dinate) bucks, he said.

“Older-aged, more dominant bucks probably shed theirantlers sooner because of the high energy costs incurred inmaintaining a higher dominance rank, such as fightingand chasing,” Hellickson noted.

Like Reed, Hellickson also noted that there is no clearevidence that weather directly affects antler shedding.

But, he did say it is likely that severe winters may causebucks to shed their antlers earlier, because of the nutri-tional stress this causes.

Under this hypothesis, a mild winter when food sourcesare plentiful, like this year, could slow the shedding ofantlers, because deer are well nourished and bucks had itrelatively easy recuperating from the rut.

Aside from when a deer looses its antlers, one thingabout this winter is abundantly clear: The deer herdshould benefit from the mild temperatures.

“I expect to see the deer take increase dramatically nextyear,” Reed said. “I think we’ll see a lot of yearlingbucks running around.”
