NORTH CREEK — TheAdirondack Treks studentouting club will show the ac-tion-packed ski movie —“Flow State” — during itsannual fundraising eventFriday, Dec. 28 at the Tan-nery Pond Community Cen-ter.

There will be two show-ings, at 5 and 8 p.m., of War-ren Miller ’s 63rd film, whichis hosted by Olympic goldmedal skier Jonny Mosely.The cost is $12 for adults and$6 for children 12 and under.

All money raised willsupport Adirondack Treks’climbing program for equip-ment acquisition and under-writing participant costs.

Refreshments, coupons,door prizes will be part ofthe evening’s entertainment.

Kelly Nessle, of Adiron-dack Treks, says the Dec. 28fundraising event is an im-portant one for her group.

“This is our one major ef-fort, other than grant writ-ing, to get funds to buyneeded equipment and tounderwrite some of the coststo kids for participation insome activities,” Nesslesaid. “This year we are hop-ing to be able to buy our ownclimbing equipment. Thekids have been climbingboth at indoor venues in thearea as well as outdoors dur-ing the summer months.”

NORTH CREEK — The owner of the HudsonRiver Rafting Company faces additional chargesof reckless endangerment.

Patrick Cunningham, of North Creek, wascharged with two counts of reckless endanger-ment Tuesday, Dec. 11 in Hamilton County Court.

Hamilton County District Attorney Marsha

Purdue said that brings the count to four chargesof second-degree reckless endangerment, misde-meanor charges, against Cunningham for twoseparate incidents in August 2010 and May of thisyear.

The new charges stem from a May 27 incidentwhere two riders, Ross Goldstein and TammyRowe of New York City, said they were part of agroup rafting down the Hudson River when Cun-ningham exited the raft and sent them on the last4 miles of the river unsupervised.

“Only two of the riders submitted a complaint,

but they said there were more riders with them,”Purdue said. “They said one of the other riderswas a child, and the other riders didn’t speak Eng-lish very well.”

Purdue said the four charges won’t necessarilybe handled together. The charges stemming fromthe August 2010 incident will go before the grandjury during the week of Jan. 14. Purdue said shehasn’t decided if she will put the recent chargesbefore the grand jury.

LAKE PLACID — The state OlympicRegional Development Authority(ORDA) is looking forward to a lucra-tive winter season.

“We have great weather coming ourdirection,” ORDA President and CEOTed Blazer said during the Dec. 18ORDA Board meeting at the OlympicCenter. “I think it’s important that wego in with enthusiasm.”

The optimism comes on the heels ofa less-than-lucrative 2012.

ORDA auditor Alan Walther releasedthe authority’s financial report for thefirst seven months of the fiscal year(April 1-Oct. 31) and said the net oper-ating loss to date was $7.18 million,which is better than this time in 2011.

“Through October of 2012 there’s anoperating loss prior to depreciation of$7.18 million versus an operating losslast year of $7.583 million, so you're ap-proximately $402,000 ahead of whereyou were last year,” Walther said.

ORDA has seen revenue increase in

some areas and decrease in others.Contributing to the loss was a

$135,000 decrease in snow sports andskating revenue and a $350,000 loss forfall events, both of which have been at-tributed to poor weather conditions.

On a positive note, total operatingrevenue went up by $101,000 to $4.6million. And tour packages and eventadmissions also went up $260,000 dueto increased events and a strong sum-mer.

ORDA’s budget includes revenuesources from its operations, such as

Adirondack Treksfrom page 1

Unfortunately, the group’s schedule foroutdoor climbing is severely limited by lackof equipment because they depend on SUNYAdirondack's Adventure Sports program towork with them and supply their equip-ment. They recently received $500 from theCommunity Fund for the Gore Mountain Re-gion to use for certifying some of the club’sadult climbing leaders.

“This was seen as a way to set a standardand assure that those folks leading kids onoutdoor climbs were all on the same pageand teaching the techniques in the same way— with safety foremost in their approach,”Nessle said. “The rock climbing has been avery sought-after activity by the kids, so wehope to capitalize on the interest to expandour participant numbers. We can do that ifwe are able to acquire our own equipment.”

In general, Adirondack Treks runs a win-ter program that includes Nordic ski instruc-tion, a few backcountry ski trips, snowshoe-ing, a winter survival day (skills introducedand practiced), and indoor rock climbing.

From late spring to mid-August, the clubschedules a rafting trip, canoe instructionand trips, overnights, hikes, and climbs.

“We want to introduce biking trips, if theinterest is there,” Nessle said. “The programhas been in existence for three full yearsnow, and we feel comfortable with the num-bers we have reached.”

Nessle estimates that they’ve helped be-tween 65-100 different students with out-door activities.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex CountyManager Daniel Palmer, of Minerva, abrupt-ly announced his retirement Dec. 3, and didnot pull any punches when asked why.

“It ultimately came down to the directionthat the board chose to go as it relates to thebudget and the years ahead,” Palmer said.“That direction is not something that I cansupport and live with. The decision I madeis based strictly on my personal integrity.”

Palmer, who has served as the countymanager since August of 2008, said he wasconcerned that the board of supervisors de-cided to use $2.8 million in reimbursementmoney from the Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency (FEMA) to help lower the2013 tax levy from a 26.8 percent increase to2.6 percent. The board ended up passing thebudget with a 1.13 percent increase.

“You can call it FEMA revenue, you cancall it whatever you want, it’s fund balance,”Palmer said. “I always said that if this be-came an adversarial relationship with theboard and I was not accomplishing what Ineeded to, then I was not going to continue.”

Palmer, who also served as the IT manag-er for the county, will retire effective Jan. 1,as will his wife, Deborah, who serves asClerk to the Board of Supervisors.

“I spoke with Dan this morning andwished him the best,” County Chairman andJay Supervisor Randy Douglas said. “Danand Deb have over 40 years of service to thecounty. They have been very dedicated pub-lic servants.”

Douglas said he disagreed with Palmer ’sassessment of the use of the FEMA funding.

“It’s unfortunate that Dan feels that this isnot a good direction but this is somethingthat we have to work through,” Douglassaid. “The FEMA funding is money that wespent that we are waiting to be reimbursedfor. I feel that it should be used to offset thetax levy, not to build up the fund balance, soI disagree with that.”

Palmer said he believes the use of fundbalance and protecting the reserve was, “amajor issue.”

“The single most critical issue facing thiscounty is how to deal with the fund bal-ance,” Palmer said.

Last month Palmer outlined a three-yearbudget plan that called for a 26 percent in-

crease in 2013 and a 15 percent increase in2014 in order to balance the county’s fiscalbooks. It was a hot-button issue at the Nov.26 public hearing on the spending plan,which led to the changes made during theNov. 29 budget meeting.

“You can’t meet the plan with thesechanges,” Palmer said.

Palmer started his service in county gov-ernment as Minerva supervisor from 1994 to2002. He then served as the personnel direc-

tor starting in 2002 until he was appointedas manager in 2008. His wife has 38 years inpublic service.

Douglas said the board will not make any“rush,” decisions on replacing either Palmer,having talked with their deputies to ensurea seemless transition.

“I spoke with Mike Mascarenas and JudyGarrison to make sure that they were readyto assist us as we move forward,” Douglassaid. “I think that those are the first actions.”

News Enterprise Editorial

This week people around the world will celebrate Christmas.Regardless of one’s religious beliefs, there’s no denyingChristmas is the world’s preeminent holiday.

Its ideals of peace, love and joy are transcendent. And who does-n’t enjoy giving and receiving gifts? The look on a child’s face onChristmas morning makes the allure of Christmas easy to under-stand.

Mankind has done its best to diminish Christmas over the cen-turies. War, hatred, prejudice, commercialism and a slew of otherproblems have taken a toll on us. Last week 20 elementary schoolchildren in Connecticut were murdered. That incomprehensibletragedy has no doubt cast a long shadow on this season’s holiday,but nothing has kept Christmas from steamrolling through time. Weanticipate Christmas each year just as our parents, grandparentsand thousands of other ancestors did.

Christmas has certainly changed. While the Christian celebrationof the birth of Jesus remains the central aspect of the holiday,there’s no denying it has become much more secular, much morecommercialized. But through all the changes, Christmas remains themost important day on the calendar.

This week families all over the world will gather to share theChristmas holiday. Dinners, gifts and stories from Christmas pastwill be part of the celebrations.

These are particularly good days for most children. As Christmasnears their excitement builds. Just one more holiday television spe-cial and they may explode in a fit of spontaneous human enthusi-asm.

Christmas is all good for children. They’re not stressed about hol-iday shopping, not worried about getting the house ready for com-pany.

It should be just as good for adults. While it’s bound to be a fewhectic days leading up to Christmas, take a few moments here andthere to relax and enjoy the holiday spirit all around us. No amountof stress will keep Christmas from coming.

We know that from the Dr. Seuss classic “How the Grinch StoleChristmas.” It’s the story of the Grinch, an evil creature determinedto stop Christmas from coming, who becomes a good-hearted beingwho finally understands the meaning of Christmas.

After stealing all the village’s Christmas gifts the Grinch realizeshe failed; Christmas had arrived anyway.

“Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store.“Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”Christmas certainly does mean more. We shouldn’t need fictional

children’s stories to remind us of that.As we celebrate perhaps we should think back to the very first

Christmas. It gave the world hope of something better, much better.It placed love above all else. Love and hope. There can be nogreater gifts.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!This is normally the time of year when our

thoughts turn to family, joy and the Christ-mas miracle, born in a manger some 2,000

years ago. Christmas 2012 will unfortunately forev-er be marred and remembered for the tragedy atSandy Hook Elementary School that took the livesof 20 young children and six brave teachers whodesperately tried in vain to shield those lives fromthe evil that exists within our society.

Politically, some may disagree with the term eviland choose instead to excuse the young manblamed for this event as being disturbed. But whilemany talk of armed guards at all schools, banningweapons of all kinds and greater protection, com-mon sense tells us that events like these can neverbe completely prevented. Society must look at theculture we’ve created, the attitudes we’ve taken to-ward each other, the lack of respect and even theanger expressed when we disagree, on even thesimplest of issues.

Many will ask where was God? How could he al-low this to happen? The Son of God made it clear,His Father ’s Kingdom is not of the earth. Man hasbeen given dominion over this land. God gave us10 simple rules to live by, but politically man hascontinued to say we know better. God did not al-low this tragedy to happen. He has given us free-dom of choice, but how we choose to use that free-dom is all about our every day lives and the valuesand beliefs engrained in our culture.

Over the last few years, on this our last issue be-fore Christmas, I have written about my wishes formankind. I hope you’ll join me this year in addingthem to your wish list and together maybe we’llsee fewer of these horrific, unexplainable eventsthat shake and shape this world we must all share.

I wish for greater respect for all humans. Thatthose who carry weapons and seek to do harm asan expression of hatred toward others, or eventhemselves that they could just respect people ofdifferent views, faith, skin color, sexual orientationor nationality. They call it world peace. I’m sure weall would love to witness it, even if only for a day.

I wish for great opportunity for all children. Tobe raised in safe homes by loving parents, withfood on the table, a warm roof overhead, a safe ed-ucation system that prepares them for fruitful livesfull of promise and a lifetime of Christmases every-day.

I wish for the end to the many dreaded diseases,ailments and birth defects that affect the popula-tion. I see so many brave individuals who face life

with these burdensand do so with suchcourage and inspira-tion.

I wish more peoplecould experiencefaith in a supreme be-ing and openly prac-tice their faith by at-tending services eachweek and recognizethat only through our trust in God will we over-come much of what troubles our world today.

I wish more folks of good fortune would sharesome of what they have with others less fortunate.We all witness those who give from the heart regu-larly even at times when they don’t have much.Just imagine a world full of people helping andcaring for each other.

I wish our government and all governmentswould put aside their bickering and seek compro-mise for the people they govern by finding thecommon ground and recognizing the importantleadership roles they play in advancing a God lov-ing and peaceful society.

I wish for Christmas 2012 to be a turning point ina world that seems to have lost its way. Despite re-markable technology, advancements in the medicaland scientific fields we need the saving grace of themiracle child born so many years ago.

Many may say the wishes above are nothing butfanciful dreams, but all those fanciful dreams couldbecome reality if each of us were to embrace themand make them our own. It’s amazing what a littlehope, faith and love can do in your life if you letthem in and share them with all who you come incontact. Let’s face it, with all of our runningaround, Christmas preparations and gifting thisseason at the end of the day wouldn’t you rathertrade all the gifts under this year ’s tree for any ofthe wishes listed above or at the very least that lastFriday never occurred for those innocent souls inConnecticut?

On behalf of the staff and family here at DentonPublications I would like to wish you and yourfamily a very joyous and safe holiday, a prosperousnew year and for my last wish, that you are grant-ed all of your prayers and wishes. Please rememberin your prayers all those affected by the tragedy inConnecticut and may God bless us one and all.

We must turn tragedy into hope

By George DeChantMaybe the bears are thinking about hi-

bernating, but the town of Indian Lake isthinking about making things happen.The Indian Lake Chamber of Commerceis like the Indian Lake Theater; we havethe doors open all year.

If you take notice of the Theater ’sschedule, it has lots of great specialevents, including Art House Thursdays(on Thursdays of course) and on Jan. 5,there is Hamilton County Reads, withBetsy Folwell. And, that is only the tip ofthe iceberg. Check out the Theater ’swebsite (www.indianlaketheater.org) orthe Chamber ’s calendar (www.indian-lake.com) for the details. I say “iceberg”because of one of the movies they arepresenting. See if you can guess whichmovie.

If you are good at solving mysteries orjust good at guessing, you will want toparticipate in the Chamber's FacebookContest: 13 Inches in 2013. Yes, you couldbe in the movies if you win — check outthe details on the web page.

The Fish and Game Club is all readyfor the ice to set and one of the biggestevents of winter: the Annual CentralAdirondack Ice Fishing Derby on Jan. 19.Check out their web page (www.indian-lakefishandgame.com).

And, of course, there is the Winter Car-nival. The Chamber is picking up wherewe left off last year with the Winter Won-derland Craft Show. Now, and not to-morrow, is the time if you are a crafterand/or artisan to check in with the

chamber to be in this show. I have a feel-ing we are going to run out of space andif you want to be part of this two-dayevent call the office (648-5112). Thisshow is two days of great crafts andshopping.

Remember the shopping you do local-ly comes back to you. Local isn’t just BlueMountain, Sabael or Indian Lake; it is allof Hamilton and Warren County. As youget ready to do that last minute holidayshopping ... or that “oops after holidayshopping.” Think local. (I do a lot of thatoops shopping.)

The Chamber encourages all business-es to call the office, and we will make alist of area discounts for Christmas shop-pers.

Those are just some of the things thatare happening in the near future, but thatis not even close to the activities theChamber is involved with. Last month,the Chamber had a representation in In-let to discuss the Black Fly Challenge(BFC).

The BFC seems to get bigger each year,and this year there will be more than 600competitors, which means more than a1,000 people will be in the area. There aretwo things we are going to focus on thisyear. The first is to stay in close contactwith the Inlet Visitors Center and our ac-commodations folks so anyone lookingfor a place to stay we will have a list ofwhat is available in the hamlets ofSabael, Blue Mountain Lake and IndianLake.

The second is the BFC organizers aregoing to recruit writers to do the race andwrite about it. I have contacted mountainbike magazines and will be calling theAARP Magazine. While I (and maybeyou as well) think riding 40 miles in theheart of the blackfly season is just the ad-venture to avoid, there are many whocome to our beautiful area and considerthemselves lucky to be riding in such ascenic race.

As the Boomers begin to age, it does-n’t mean they are taking the elevator tothe grave. These folks are taking to thegolden years with vim and vigor. Somuch so that the BFC race has addedthree more categories for competitorsage 60-99 (not sure why they limited to99, but maybe next year they will add100-127 age groupings).

If the BFC is something you haven’tpaid much attention to, make sure youcheck out this videohttp://youtu.be/BLYIEOz7Gt8. It wascreated by James Benton — an IndianLake Central School student.

Since the people in their 50s have moreenergy and more time, it would be wiseto present opportunities for them to doand lure them into staying a few days inearly June. They could climb a mountainor two; maybe a round of golf; tour theAdirondack Museum; enjoy some din-ing; and do some rafting. They could dothe race and all that in a three-day week-end.

The Chamber Board is also working onother events. The early success of theGreat Adirondack Moose Festival andthe inaugural Chamber Golf Outing aresure indicators that these events willcontinue in 2013. Considering how smallthe Chamber Board is (seven hard-work-ing individuals and looking for more)and the staff of one, it is fairly impres-sive these events are being created forthe town.

I will say it again — keep an eye on theChamber calendar; new information anddetails appear all the time.

Oh and one more thing, if you are re-sponsible for an Indian Lake Middle orHigh School student, encourage them tomake a short 2-minute video about thetown. Details are at www.ilcsd.org (un-der Library), and they have a chance towin $500. This contest is sponsored bythe Indian Lake Planning Committee.

November 2012 may well be remembered asone of the most pleasant Novembers onrecord.

Ordinarily, November in the North Country is adreary month with endless damp days, little sun andonly gray colors on the landscape. But this monththere were several days in a row when the sun shownalmost all day and the temperatures were mildenough to be outside with only a sweater to keepwarm. These conditions were due to an unusual com-bination of a very dry month and very sunny daysthat compensated for very cool temperatures at night.This allowed Gore Mountain Ski Center to make snowat night when it was cold and us to enjoy several mildsunny days.

The average high temperature was 42.2 degrees andthe average low was 23.3 degrees giving us an aver-age of 32.7 degrees, 2.6 degrees below normal and thefifth coldest on record. The coldest November was in1996 when the average was 31.1 degrees and thewarmest was in 1999 when the average was 40.2 de-grees. The coldest temperature, 14 degrees, wasrecorded on the 12th and the warmest, 63 degrees,was recorded on the 17th. There were 950.5 degreedays* bringing our seasonal total to 1686.

Precipitation for the month was only 0.67 inches,2.93 inches below normal and the driest on record.The previous driest November was in 1998 when 1.58inches was measured. The wettest November was in1983 when 7.16 inches fell. Precipitation fell on only7 days with the greatest amount, 0.47 inches, fallingon the 13th. Our seasonal total is now 36.74 incheswhich is 2.23 inches below normal.

Snow fall was only 0.2 inches, 5 inches below nor-mal and the 5th smallest amount on record. The leastamount of snow in November, 0 inches, was record-ed in 1981 and the greatest amount, 21.1 inches, wasmeasured in 1997.

The river reached its highest level, 5.23 feet, on the1st and its lowest level, 3.29 feet, on the 26th.

Degree daysHeating engineers who wanted a way to relate each

day’s temperatures to the demand for fuel needed toheat buildings developed the concept of heating de-gree days.

Our seasonal average for heating degree days inNorth Creek is 7,869 heating degree days. Last year,a very mild Winter, we only had 6,985 heating degreedays. For comparison, Atlanta, Ga. had only 1,676while Fairbanks, Ala. had 10,349 heating degree days.

Hospice care is availableTo the News Enterprise:No one wants to die, but it will happen to all of us.

Few of us think about it much until we face circum-stances where it can’t be avoided.

Most of us will fight to the death to extend our lives,as though this is a fight we can win. The end of lifeshouldn’t be a fight. It’s not about winning and los-ing. It’s about the natural course of events; withoutdeath there can be no life.

It is a sign of wisdom and maturity to know of one’smortality. It is a sign of courage and of humility toknow we don’t live forever. If we are destined to haveadvance knowledge of our death, to face a terminalillness, High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care canhelp.

As people face their deaths, their greatest fear is notof dying; it is of dying in pain. For many it is the fearof dying alone, or among strangers, or away fromhome, friends and loved ones. November was Nation-al Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to raiseawareness about the compassionate care that hospiceand palliative care provides.

Research tells us that people who enter hospice,who receive pain management, who receive spiritualcounseling, who get the opportunity to talk abouttheir feelings related to dying, live longer than peo-ple who receive aggressive medical care until theirdeaths, and report greater comfort and peacefulness.Is longer life a guarantee for everyone? No, but it ismore likely than not.

The hospice team provides expert medical care tokeep patients comfortable and able to enjoy time withloved ones. The hospice team answers questions, of-fers advice on what to expect, and helps families withthe duties of being a caregiver. The team also pro-vides emotional and spiritual support for the entirefamily.

Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid in moststates, and by most insurance plans and HMOs. Hos-pice care is provided in the home, nursing home as-sisted living facilities and long term care centers.

Hospice care is available to people of all ages, withany illness. Hospice professionals and trained volun-teers will ask you what’s important and listen to whatyou say. They make your wishes a priority.

If you or a loved one is facing a serious or life-lim-iting illness, the time to find out more about hospiceand palliative care is right now. You can bet your lifeon it.

JOHNSBURG — The Johnsburg Town Board Tuesday, Dec.18 passed a resolution for a new policy dealing with bring-ing seasonal roads up to standard.

The policy is based on existing Town Law §200 which spec-ifies that the expenses for street improvements “must beborne by the property owners on the benefit basis; after com-pletion, the highway is to be maintained as a town highway.”

The policy itself states “any property owner(s) residing ona seasonal road who wishes the town to maintain said roadon a year road basis, will be responsible for bringing the roadinto such condition that the highway department will be ableto maintain the road.”

Town Supervisor Ron Vanselow said the current policy un-der consideration only applied to seasonal roads. Council-man Peter Olesheski noted that while the policy may both-er some home owners, it was important for the town to pro-tect itself from the having to assume the burden of bringingseasonal roads up to standard. Vanselow said he had dis-cussed the potential costs with Town Highway Superintend-ent Daniel Hitchcock and that the work involved in bring-ing some of the seasonal roads within the town up to stan-dard could be extremely expensive and involve blasting.

In some cases, it would take “hundreds of years for thetown to recover the cost through property taxes,” Vanselowsaid.

After Councilman Arnold Stevens made a motion to adoptthe new policy, it was passed by the entire board. Vanselowsaid he felt they would revisit this issue at some point.

Ski Bowl building renamedRobert Nessle addressed the board regarding his propos-

al that the Ski Hut in Ski Bowl Park be named in memory ofJoseph George Minder, who had been a beloved lifelong res-ident. Minder had served in WWII and was a POW for threeyears during which he was used as a slave laborer in a cop-per mine in northern Japan.

An avid skier before the war, Minder turned to it as a formof therapy after returning to North Creek. The board passeda motion to name the Ski Hut after Minder. Cherie Ferguson,secretary to the supervisor, said that the July 6 Independ-ence Day Celebration would be a great occasion for a cere-mony naming the ski hut.

“What better day to celebrate someone who fought for ourindependence,” Ferguson said.

Other businessThe board accepted the resignation of Judge Vincent Schi-

avone from the Board of Assessment Review. Schiavone,who was appointed town justice on Nov. 20, wanted to avoidany potential conflict of interest.

Dottie Osterhout, a member of the town Planning Board,said she does not wish to be considered for reappointmentat the end of her current term in January 2013.

The board accepted the resignation, effective Dec. 31, of

Don Greene from his position as part-time clerk.Scott Cleveland, who recently retired after working for the

town for 26 years, was presented with a certificate of recog-nition in appreciation for his dedication and service to the

town.

Brant Lake Taxi plans Operation Safe Ride on New Year’s EveBRANT LAKE — Brant Lake Taxi is once again launching Operation Safe Ride for the

holidays.“Operation Safe Ride is a program that we developed, here in the North Country, to en-

sure that our family and friends traveled to, and from, their destinations on New Year ’s Evesafely,” said Operation Safe Ride program administrator Mike Turano. “Since its ‘maidenvoyage’ in 2008, we have given 571 free rides to those who chose to leave their cars home.”

This program, starting off a small town gesture, has escalated into a successful campaignagainst drunk driving. Brant Lake Taxi has been recognized by the Warren County Sheriff ’sOffice, the town of Johnsburg and the state of New York, for its efforts in fighting drunk

driving, and for quite possibly saving lives.“We are also proud to offer the fact that since this program

started, the Warren County Sheriff ’s Office had reported oneDWI arrest, in the areas that we covered, over the past fouryears,” Turano said.

This year ’s 5th Annual Operation Safe Ride will providefree rides to all those traveling within the North Warren,Johnsburg and Minerva School Districts. The hours of opera-tion will be from 7p.m. New Year ’s Eve (Dec. 31) until 4 a.m.New Year ’s Day.

Reservations are highly suggested and will be honored ona “first come first served basis.”

For travel out side the advertised towns, regular taxi rateswill apply. Call 494-2507 for further information and reserva-tions.

Rafting companyfrom page 1

Agreement violatedCunningham had been indicted in Hamil-

ton County Court on two counts of second-degree reckless endangerment for two sepa-rate incidents in August 2010. It was report-ed to authorities that Cunningham sent akayaker down the river without a licensedguide and abandoned a raft group, consist-ing of mostly children, leaving them to fin-ish half of their trip, again, without a li-censed guide.

However, on March 29, that indictmentwas adjourned “in contemplation of dis-

missal” until Sept. 29 under three condi-tions:

•No raft from the Hudson River RaftingCompany and/or Patrick Cunningham beoperated without a licensed rafting guide,except where there is a written rental agree-ment that the customer agrees to “captain”his/her own raft;

•No 16-foot raft from the Hudson RiverRafting Company and/or Cunningham beoperated with more than 12 occupants in theraft, plus the guide;

•And that Cunningham not violate anylaws, rules or regulations of the state of NewYork.

That all changed on Sept. 5, however,when Purdue applied to restore the indict-ment against Cunningham and his company

because Cunningham had allegedly violatedthe March 29 agreement by:

•allegedly leaving his raft — with twocustomers aboard — 4 miles before the endof a May 27 trip down the Hudson River, es-sentially leaving them without a guide for aportion of the trip.

•and allegedly sending two customersdown the river on Aug. 26 in a “ducky” with-out a licensed guide and without signing arental agreement.

Rafting deathThe Hudson River Rafting Company has

been under public scrutiny since the Sept. 27rafting run where a customer died while un-der the supervision of an intoxicated guide.

Guide Rory Fay, 37, of North Creek, wasoperating a raft on the Indian River as a NewYork state licensed guide employed by therafting company when Tamara F. Blake, 53,of Ohio, was thrown from the raft anddrowned.

New York State Police that responded to areport of a missing rafter determined Faywas intoxicated at the time of the accident.

Fay pleaded guilty on Nov. 26 at theHamilton County Court House to criminal-ly negligent homicide, misdemeanor drivingwhile intoxicated, and aggravated unli-censed operation of a motor vehicle in thethird-degree.

Restraining orderOn Oct. 19, state Supreme Court Judge

Richard Giardino officially prohibited theHudson River Rafting Company and Cun-ningham from operating a rafting business

until charges from the state attorney gener-al have been addressed. He signed the tem-porary restraining order, which was filed bystate Attorney General Eric Schneidermanon Oct. 10.

Schneiderman alleges that the companyand its owner practiced “fraudulent, decep-tive, and illegal conduct with their businessproviding guided river excursions on vari-ous New York rivers.” Schneiderman is try-ing to recover restitution and damages forconsumers victimized by the respondents’alleged practices and to recover penaltiesand costs.

The attorney general charges that the com-pany has broken the law for:

•repeatedly not providing licensed guideson rafting excursions;

•persistent false advertising;•repeatedly having employees drive cus-

tomers on the company’s bus from NorthCreek to Indian Lake without valid drivers’licenses for operating a bus;

•and statutory fraud by “misrepresentingthe services they provide.”

The alleged violations have included pro-viding guides with no licenses or, in somecases, providing no guides at all. Moreover,the attorney general takes issue with thecompany’s advertisements stating that theyprovide “safe” guided river rafting excur-sions.

When contacted by this newspaper in Oc-tober, Cunningham said he had “zero” com-ments regarding the attorney general’s peti-tion or the court order.

Dec. 15.More than 50 children ages 2 months to 11 years and their parents gathered at the Long

Lake Town Hall to eat pizza, enjoy games with Penelope the clown and awaited their turnto meet Santa Claus.

Staffers from the town of Long Lake coordinated directly with the elves at the North Poleto ensure each child received something off their wish list. Gifts ranged from CinderellaBarbie, bulldozers, helicopters, trucks, games, arts and crafts and miniature farm animals.

Lunch with Santa has been an ongoing tradition in Long Lake for decades. Photographyservices were provided by volunteer Christine LaRocque, homemade cookies by JenniferSignell and pizza by the Long Lake Diner.

The event was coordinated the Town of Long Lake Parks and Recreation staff.
