Vanderwerker: ‘He won’t make it eight.’ By Keith Lobdell [email protected] ELIZABETHTOWN — As she thought about her moth- er, a lone tear came down the face of Tammy Vanderwerk- er. She said that she would love to be able to hold her, to have her get to know her grandchildren, to have a mother-daughter relation- ship with a woman she bare- ly knew. June Marion Hopkins Col- lard was taken away from her two daughters and son in 1980 when her husband, Thomas A. Collard, said she left the family. On March 31, Mr. Collard was sentenced under a plea agreement to an indeterminate amount of prison time between eight and 24 years for the self-con- fessed murder of his wife. Collard previously had pled guilty to a count of first-degree manslaughter. In a packed Essex County courtroom, Collard entered, in chains, at around 3:15 p.m., looking down as District Attorney Kristy L. Sprague an- nounced that Vanderwerker wished to address the court. During her remarks, Collard mostly looked down, often making facial expressions with his mouth. “He buried her body right outside our bath- room window,” Vanderwerker said. “That is quite sickening if you ask me.” Vanderwerker, who admitted at the beginning of her remarks that speaking to the court, “was not easy” for her, referred to her father only as, “the monster.” “From the time he killed our mother, we stopped being kids,” she said. “I was the one that took the place of my mother in the family. He said to me over and over again, you’re just like your mother and I will do the same thing to you. Be- cause of him, I live my life in fear.” Vanderwerker said that she remembered few things about her mother, as she was 8 years old when June Collard was killed. “Mom made our clothes, and her favorite song was ‘Islands in the Stream,’” she said. “Those are all the memories I have of her. I should have known more about her. She should have been my best friend.” After sentencing, Vanderwerker reiterated her hatred for her father.

Vanderwerker: ‘Hewon’t make it eight.’

By Keith [email protected]

ELIZABETHTOWN — Asshe thought about her moth-er, a lone tear came down theface of Tammy Vanderwerk-er.

She said that she wouldlove to be able to hold her, tohave her get to know hergrandchildren, to have amother-daughter relation-ship with a woman she bare-ly knew.

June Marion Hopkins Col-lard was taken away from hertwo daughters and son in1980 when her husband,Thomas A. Collard, said sheleft the family.

On March 31, Mr. Collardwas sentenced under a pleaagreement to an indeterminate amount of prisontime between eight and 24 years for the self-con-fessed murder of his wife.

Collard previously had pled guilty to a count offirst-degree manslaughter.

In a packed Essex County courtroom, Collardentered, in chains, at around 3:15 p.m., lookingdown as District Attorney Kristy L. Sprague an-nounced that Vanderwerker wished to addressthe court.

During her remarks, Collard mostly lookeddown, often making facial expressions with hismouth.

“He buried her body right outside our bath-room window,” Vanderwerker said. “That is quitesickening if you ask me.”

Vanderwerker, who admitted at the beginningof her remarks that speaking to the court, “wasnot easy” for her, referred to her father only as,“the monster.”

“From the time he killed our mother, westopped being kids,” she said. “I was the one thattook the place of my mother in the family. He saidto me over and over again, you’re just like yourmother and I will do the same thing to you. Be-

Several parents have recently expressed concern over certain reductions in the

school budget that have been reported to them. Such cuts, they have been told, would require elimination of broadly popular programs. These parents are

victims of misinformation. The truth is:

1. M isinformation is a core element of the teachers union game book statewide. Their favorite technique is to spread rumors that the most popular student activities will immediately be

suspended if anyone dares vote against the budget or for changes on the school board. For example sports,

music, art, theater, etc.

2. This rumor is false: - First, it shows that while our school suffers from obvious administrative over-staffing and inflated staff wages and benefits – expenditures that have little to do with extra-curricular activities – school authorities would rather frighten parents with a red herring than face up to and fix real sources of waste. [For the record, the JCS Citizens Budget Committee (JCS- CBC) has never advocated, has never even mentioned, curtailing sports or any other extra-curricular activity.]

- Second, such mindset shows that our school is overdue for getting new blood onto the school board. Current members are all good people, but they are unresponsive and disconnected from the community that elected them to office.

An Invitation In light of the importance of the forthcoming budget

vote and school board elections, we would like to make a proposal to the whole community. We suggest the board select two or three of its members to join our

own choices for a frank discussion of the budget, the fiscal situation, and how to restore balance, followed by

questions from the audience. We could meet in the school gym on any evening the board selects from

Wednesday, April 13th through Friday April 22nd. This timing follows the board’s presentation and approval of its 2011-12 budget on Monday, April 11th, and assures that it is still fresh in everyone’s mind. The topic we

suggest is The Need for Fiscal Balance and Sustainability at JCS While Delivering High Quality

Education to Its Students. The board president is invited to reply to Tony Moro (518-320-8337).

Signed: JCS-CBC

Autopsy shows no sign offoul playBy Lindsay [email protected]

INLET — A missing person alert was is-sued last Monday by the Town of Dewitt Po-lice Department when friends and family ofKerry Young, 44, of Dewitt, NY reportedthat she had not returned from a hiking tripin the Old Forge area.

Department of Environmental Conserva-tion (DEC) Forest Rangers led a search of theMoose River Plains Wild Forest, which be-gan early Tuesday morning. They were as-sisted by nearly 50 people from the state po-lice, State Police Aviation, Town of Inlet FireDepartment, Town of Inlet Police Depart-ment, Town of Webb Police Department,Hamilton County Sheriff Department, mem-bers of Lower Adirondack Search and Res-cue and other volunteers.

Young’s car was reported at the entranceto the Limekiln Lake Campground off theLimekiln Lake-Cedar River Road by a localtrapper. Her body was found Wednesdaymorning by ground search about one milefrom her car by two DEC Forest Rangers, ac-cording to a press release issued by the DEC.Her body was found in a cluster of trees be-tween Limekiln-Cedar River Road and FawnLake.

Investigators from the New York State Po-lice Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Ray-brook are leading the investigation intoYoung's death. According to a press releaseissued by their office late last week, howev-er, an autopsy on the body revealed no signof foul play or criminal activity. Her causeof death is still unknown, pending the re-sults of a toxicology test.

Young was reported missing by her moth-er and her employer after a Facebook mes-sage, left before she disappeared, revealedthat she was going hiking, according to po-lice.

MINERVA — Voters of the Minerva Central School Dis-trict will be asked to approve a spending plan for 2011-2012that includes a modest 1.74 percent increase to the tax rate.

Minerva Superintendent Tim Farrell said that when thefirst draft of Minerva Central School’s (MCS) 2011-2012budget was finished, he and the school board were pleasedwith the position that they were in. After cuts in state aid,however, MCS was stripped of just under $300,000 — rough-ly a 20 percent reduction — and Farrell was back to the draw-ing board.

The first draft of the budget was within $10,000 of the cur-rent year ’s spending plan, with minimal increases, accord-ing to Farrell. The final proposed budget cut expenses by$332,000 with a total budget of $4.99 million and a 6.3 per-cent spending decrease. The current MCS budget is $5.3 mil-lion.

“Our goal was to keep the tax increase to a minimum,” hesaid.

After aiming for a 0-2 percent increase to the tax rate, theproposed budget includes a 1.74 percent increase with a taxrate of $9.88 per $1,000 of assessed property. The current rateis $9.71 per $1,000 of assessed value. That means a homeown-er with a home assessed at $150,000 would pay $1,482 inschool tax, or about $25 more than this year.

The proposed budget benefited from savings generatedfrom recent retirements and natural changes within the spe-cial education department, Farrell said.

Other cuts were made in the form of reductions is facultyand staff positions, reductions in the areas of music, physi-cal education, support services and custodial, as well as re-ductions in supplies, conferences and staff developmentneeds. The chosen cuts will generate savings while having aminimal impact on students, according to Farrell.

“It wasn’t easy,” said Farrell. “If our tax livy is limited andrevenue decreases as costs increase, we will be forced to closethe gap by eliminating services.”

MCS has been fortunate enough to avoid major programcuts in the past several years, according to Farrell, but he iscertainly worried about the future.

“Things like youth and government and sports make allthe difference for some kids,” he said. “But they are certain-ly costly,”

The proposed budget fornext year will be presentedbefore the full board for ap-proval Thursday, April 14.The plan will be put to a pub-lic vote May 17.

Responds to first call last weekBy Lindsay [email protected]

NEWCOMB — Firefighters and rescuesquad members in Newcomb responded to acall beyond the reaches of their traditionalambulance last weekend. A snowmobilerwas injured during an accident and was re-trieved by Newcomb’s new snowbulanceand later transported to Glens Falls Hospi-tal with minor injuries.

Responders towed the specialized rescueunit — called a snowbulance — behind asnowmobile, down four miles of snow-cov-ered trails, loaded the male victim onto the

bed located inside and transported him tothe ambulance waiting at the trailhead. Thevictim road in style with battery operatedlights and heat.

The snowbulance was purchased in earlyFebruary with monies generated by a Fire-man’s Fund Insurance Grant in the amountof $8200, according to fire department treas-urer Wes Miga.

With the funds, the fire department pur-chased the snowbulance for $5300 from Pro-gressive Motorsports in Hudson Falls andused the remainder towards a trailer to haulit. The snowmobile was purchased previous-ly and is owned by the town of Newcomb fortrail maintenance.

“The first call went very well,” Mussosaid. “Using it in the first few weeks of own-

ing it proves that it will be put to good use.”With the opening of the snowmobile trail

connecting Indian Lake and Newcomb thiswinter, snowmobile traffic has significantlyincreased, according to Musso, promptingthe purchase of the snowbulance.

The new connector trail system, openedearlier this winter ads over30 miles of ridable trails tothe existing trail system. Thenew trails has more thandoubles the snowmobile traf-fic within the town of New-comb alone, according toYandon.

With increased snowmo-bile traffic, residents of New-comb and Indian Lake are

confident that the industry will have a pos-itive effect on the local economy, but with in-creased traffic, comes possible accidents.

“There was a significant need to be able torespond to possible accidents on the trails,which are miles from road access,” said Mus-so.

BEACHfrom page 1

Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed said the board would like to do whatever theycan to reopen the beach, but will not do it at the expense of taxpayers.

“Those of us who grew up here know that the beach is a well-known and popular part ofthe community,” he said. “In an area, however, where many live below the poverty line andstruggle to pay their taxes, we have to be considerate.”

Many objected to further time and money being invested in to the property, as roughly$250,000 has already been spent on the project throughout its existence. Projects have in-cluded a dam, a berm and dredging efforts. If left to revert back to a natural pond, the areawould still require an engineering plan, according to Delaware Engineering.

The spectrum of possible solutions include closing the beach for good as well as invest-ing $6,000-$8,000 toward a sanitation survey and an eight-week sampling program. Othersuggested courses of action include an aeration system or fountain, as well as the introduc-tion of a carp species that will eat away the organic matter and vegetation growing in thebody of water.

Some present at the meeting were dedicated to doing whatever it takes to get the beachoperational for the people of Johnsburg.

“This is an asset for the town of Johnsburg,” said youth committee member VinceSchavone. “We have to look out for the well-being of our youth and we have worked hardto develop a successful swim program that should continue.”

Others said the property fits well with the overall goal of the North Creek community tobe a four-season destination.

“Closing it means we will never get it back,” said Gore Mountain Regional Chamber ofCommerce President Dave Bulmer. “A place to swim is an important part of our long-rangeplan.”

Board memberssaid the beachwill most likelynot be open thissummer.

“We now havea big window oftime to figure outwhat we are go-ing to do,” saidboard memberRon Vanslow.

WhileDelaware Engi-neering workswith regulatoryagencies regard-ing the possiblereopening of thefacility, the boardwill work ondrafting a possi-ble referendumfor the Septemberprimary election,to allow the vot-ers in Johnsburgto voice theiropinion on theproject.

Delaware Engi-neering will report back to the full board with a proposal for moving forward at the May 3town board meeting.

Anticipates a less than 3 percent increase to tax rateBy Lindsay [email protected]

INDIAN LAKE — Indian Lake Central School (ILCS) willcut one secretarial position by attrition and one part timereading teacher position next year. Superintendent MarkBrand hopes cuts to the proposed budget will keep their taxrate increase to a minimum.

Brand is reevaluating their position after the recent rein-statement of education funding to the NYS budget, but isplanning on a tax rate increase just shy of 3 percent to the

current $6.19 per $1,000 of assessed property.“There are many variables that we are still considering,”

he said. “But we are doing our best to keep increases to aminimum.”

Taking into account the reinstatements, ILCS still lostroughly $115,199 in state aid for next year ’s school year. Thecut represents 15.45 percent of the schools total state aid.

The current ILCS budget is $5,803,032 and the proposedbudget for next year is $5,783,316, representing a .34 percentdecrease.

Aside from cuts to staffing, Brand and his budget commit-tee made other reductions, trimming close to $130,000 dol-lars from the proposed budget. Summer school programshave been reduced as well as spending limits for field trips

and supplies.ILCS took one of the biggest hits in their BOCES budget

when cuts at the state level were made.“These cuts are significant,” Brand said. “We were faced

with trying to trim a budget that was already pretty lean andmean.”

Brand admitted that ILCS will be looking at regional op-tions to satisfy their educational goals. They already com-bine sports with Long Lake Central School and more deci-sions like that will likely be made in the coming months.

The school board will move forward with several ques-tions on their minds including, what kind of school theywant to have and how they will achieve it while dealing withspending cuts, according to Brand.

“I don’t love,” she said. “I’ll never forgive. I’ll never, nev-er forget.”

Daughter Candy Horan, who did not attend the sentenc-ing because she felt her time and money would be, “betterserved providing our mother with a proper burial,” statedher feelings in a letter to the court.

“I love you because you are our dad and I hate you be-cause you killed our mother,” Horan stated, as read bySprague. “Did you ever stop and think of us kids and whatthis would do to us? No, I think not.”

Thomas Collard shook his head a couple of times duringthe reading of Horan’s statement, in which she talked aboutthe hope of seeing her mother again based on Collard’s sto-ry that she had just run away.

“What fools we were,” Horan stated. “I believe that I willnever get the answers, or that I will believe those answers ...(I) hope you don’t have another day or another second of joyin your life.”

Sprague then spoke on behalf of the state.“He was a bully, he was good at it, and he liked it,”

Sprague said about Collard, who momentarily looked to-ward the section where Vanderwerker was seated. “There isnot one redeeming quality about the defendant.”

Sprague also gave the court a glimpse of the evidence thestate had collected, saying that the confession Collard gaveto the court about the murder was inaccurate.

“The cause of death was determined to be anywhere be-tween three and six blunt-force traumas to the head,”Sprague said, afterwards stating, “We had forensic patholo-gists look at the skull and that is one of many things thatwould have come out with a trial.”

Sprague then offered her recommendation based on thefamily’s input.

“They ask, and we ask, that you sentence him to a placethat he deserves to stay for the rest of his life,” Sprague said.

Along with the sentence, Sprague also asked for $5,523.82

in restitution costs and that orders of protection be issuedfor all three children. The order for Thomas Collard Jr., wasrescinded at the request of the defense.

Judge Richard Meyer agreed to the agreement.“There is nothing that I can do here today to make up for

what you have done, this court is powerless to do that” Mey-er said. “You have deprived your children of their mother,and that is unforgivable — and just as horrendous, you gave

them a false hope thatthey would see her again.Worse, you also placed intheir minds the thoughtthat their mother hadabandoned them.”

Meyer credited the po-lice officers who had con-tinued to work the case,including Troop B Bureauof Criminal Investiga-

tions Capt. Robert LaFountain and then offered his opinion,on the record, for the parole board that may hear Collard’srequest eight years from now.

“Under no circumstance in my view should they ever letyou out before you serve all of that 24 years,” Meyer said asCollard looked directly at him throughout the sentencing.

Sprague later said thatwhile she was uncomfortableoffering a plea agreement inthe case, she did so at the re-quest of the family.

“This will give the powerback to Tammy and her fam-ily,” Sprague said.

As for Thomas Collard, heoffered no statement as hewas sentenced, but did sayone thing as he was escortedfrom the courthouse.

“Just, I didn’t do it.”

The nuclear ageTo the News Enterprise:

The nuclear crisis in Japan remindsus of the urgent need to develop renew-able energy sources. In Vermont,though, controversy rages over whichtypes of renewable energy develop-ment are appropriate. But this debate isactually moot. It doesn’t matterwhether one believes that wind tur-bines work or not, or are acceptable onridge lines. It is a fact of physics thatridge line wind in the Eastern US hasvery little potential to replace coal andnuclear. According to Department ofEnergy figures, if all of the onshorecommercially viable wind resource ofthe Eastern United States were devel-oped, only about 17 gigawatts of con-ventional generation could be offset atbest, and probably much less in prac-tice. Compare this with the fact that USdemand for electricity is equivalent to450 gigawatts of continually operatinggeneration, and that electricity ac-counts for only about one third of ourenergy consumption.

Only a massive expansion of solargeneration has the potential at presentto significantly reduce conventionalgeneration in the Eastern U.S. Windpower from offshore or from the Mid-

west might also contribute in principle,but it is not certain that either resourcewill be environmentally or economical-ly acceptable. We would be much bet-ter off focusing on ramping up solarnow, and accelerating its cost reductionin the process, rather than pouringhundreds of millions of dollars into anapproach that will mainly just devas-tate our mountaintop ecosystems, oureco-tourism based economy, and di-vide our closely knit communities intowarring camps.

Preserve jobs in NewYork State

To the News Enterprise:

International Paper moved me fromLouisiana to New York in 1992. At thattime, International Paper had 3,400 em-ployees in New York State. When I leftInternational Paper in 2005 to work for

the Adirondack Park Agency, Interna-tional Paper had 900 employees in NewYork. The 2,500 jobs that were lost werewell paying jobs that utilized one ofNew York’s competitive advantages,its working forests.

Recently, New York has offered $1.2billion dollars in tax incentives for aDubai-based company to establish1,200 jobs in New York. Would it nothave been better to preserve existingjobs and then spend the $1.2 billion oneducation or health care? Preservingexisting jobs in New York is much morecost effective than creating new ones.However, to preserve existing jobswould involve removing the many dis-incentives that our law makers andstate agencies have created.

Removing the hurdles that providenegligible benefits to taxpayers wouldbe more difficult for state government,but it would be a more affordable ap-proach for New York taxpayers to pre-serve jobs in our state.

Opinion

News Enterprise Editorial

In a day and age where the tax bur-den grows at a faster rate thanmost incomes, municipal leaders

— and residents — are looking at con-solidating services or entire govern-ment entities to save money. And,rightly so.

Most recently, a resident called forthe village board in Champlain to for-mally study the dissolution process.Disgruntled that the board opted not tomove forward, he now is spearheadinga petition drive, attempting to get sig-natures of 10 percent of village votersto force a public vote, which is allowedunder state law.

The mayor, on the other hand, sees nosubstantial savings to taxpayers inmerging with the town, saying fixedcosts like the village’s water and sew-er department would not go away afterbeing absorbed by the town.

Just to the south, in the city and townof Plattsburgh, the topic has come upabout the two municipalities merging.Again, there are conflicting opinions.

Supervisor Bernie Bassett and MayorDon Kasprzak have chimed in, withKasprzak in favor and Bassett against.

Bassett said he doesn’t want the townto bear the financial burden of the city,but Kasprzak contends the city’s fi-nances have improved since he took of-fice. Yet, the cost of running a consoli-dated government could prove to costmore in the long run, according to Bas-sett.

There are instances where one gov-ernment has proven to be more effi-cient, however.

In Ticonderoga, the former villagedissolved into the town in 1992. FormerSupervisor Michael Connery said thedecision was one he and then MayorMichael Diskin worked on together.Connery said when the InternationalPaper mill moved outside the villageand into the town, it left villagers fac-ing a tremendous tax burden. Mergingthe village into the town made for amore equal distribution of the tax base,he said.

At the same time, redundancy waseliminated as was the cost of payingthe village board. Services did not suf-fer and no jobs were lost — which is al-ways a contentious issue in these mat-ters.

“It was seamless,” Diskin said, not-ing that having no police or fire depart-ment in the village helped sell the casefor dissolution.

Consolidation has also been dis-cussed for several years in the townand village of Lake George and the twomunicipalities recently decided tostudy the consolidation of their publicworks departments. Kudos to the townand village for spending $3,500 on thisstudy. Now they just have to agree ona firm to conduct the study. It seems thetown distrusts the village to pick acompany that would treat both partiesequally.

In places like Lake George and Tup-per Lake, where town and village offi-cials continuously bicker and distrusteach other, perhaps they would be bet-ter off putting personal grudges asideand streamlining operations by merg-ing departments where possible to savetaxpayers money.

Is consolidation the answer? Howabout village dissolution?

Probably not in every circumstance,but it certainly warrants study — evenif it costs time and money to do so.Grant money is available for this, andunless studies are conducted, taxpay-ers will never have a clear answerwhether consolidation of serviceswould be in their best interest finan-cially.

Elected officials owe it to their con-stituency to operate as lean and effi-ciently as possible, even if that requiresthe difficult decision of giving up theirown jobs in the process — as was donewith the Ticonderoga village board.

If officials will not take it upon them-selves to rule out consolidation to savemoney, then the law allows voters torise up and force a public vote based onthe will of the people.

That is precisely what is happeningin Champlain. And we commend themfor it.

Viewpoint

In an ideal world, nearly every dollarthat is expended toward health carewould be spent on evaluation, testing,

treatment or prevention ofdisease and injury. The goalwould be to expend all themoney on improving thehealth of the population be-ing covered. In this country,that is currently not the case,and there are several reasons.

The first area is adminis-trative costs of our health in-surance system. When an in-surance company receivespayment of premiums, themoney is used in three basicways.

First is for the actual expen-diture for health care servic-es. Collectively within the insurance indus-try this is known as the Medical Loss Ratio.Under the Patient Protection and AffordableCare Act, passed in 2010, this ratio shouldnot be less than 80 percent. This still meansthat four out of every five dollars paid in asinsurance premiums is spent on the othertwo items, including the cost of running thecompany. I once calculated that it took theentire premium of 6,500 policy holders justto pay the salary of the president of onelarge insurance company. Two percent of allpremium dollars is spent by the insurancecompanies just to “credential” the physicianpanel of providers in most managed careprograms. For a company that is “for prof-it,” the third item is payment of dividendsto the shareholders.

The second area of hidden expense in-volves the cost of the provider to “process

the claim.”This is the billing function. Since the patient does not usually pay

cash on the spot for the service, the providermust have a billing staff to cre-ate a bill, send it on to the insur-ance company or companies andawait payment. If there is a co-pay it should be collected at thetime of the service but often iscollected after the fact. If the pa-tient has a deductible on the in-surance, the company will payonly a portion of the claim. Thismeans a second bill back to thepatient. It is estimated that thecost of processing and sendingin a single claim is about $6-7each time it is processed.

One also has to realize thateach insurance company has dif-

ferent rules and systems for the claims sub-mission. This has a hidden cost in thatproviders would much rather do a few ex-pensive procedures instead of many small-er ones. Hospital billing is equally complexand consumes enormous amounts of man-power. Many patients have more than oneinsurance plan and still have a part left overfor self pay. That means a minimum of threeseparate billings to collect one fee.

A third area of hidden cost is that associ-ated with liability risk by the provider. Thisis the so called malpractice issue.

The cost of buying malpractice insuranceis a significant cost for every provider. Thisis true of hospitals as well as for physiciansand other health care providers. Even rela-tively small hospitals like we have in the

March 2011 continued our string of old-fashioned win-ter months with colder than normal temperaturesand above normal snowfall, which continued to

please winter sports enthusiasts. The average high temperature was 28.6 degrees and the aver-

age low was 19.8 degrees, giving us an average of 28.6 degrees,which is 1.3 degrees below normal. This was the sixth consecu-tive month with below normal temperatures. The highest tem-perature of 55 degrees, was recorded on March 17 and the low-est temperature of -8 degrees was recorded on March 3. Therewere two days with readings below normal, which is about av-erage for the month.

Melted precipitation for the month was 6.52 inches, which is3.13 inches above normal and the second most on record. Thewettest March was in 2001 when 7.36 inches was recorded andthe driest was in 1988 when only 0.92 inches was measured. Ourseasonal total is now 11.71, which is 3.02 inches above normal.There was measurable precipitation on 11 days with the greatestamount of 3.04 inches falling on March 6 and 7.

Snowfall, for the second month in a row, was the greatest de-parture from normal with 28.8 inches falling, which is 13.4 inch-es above normal and the third most on record. The greatest Marchsnowfall was in 2001 when 59.2 inches fell, making it thesnowiest month on record. March 2001 was also the wettestMarch on record. The least snowiest March was last year whenonly 0.2 inches was recorded. Our seasonal total is now 91.3 inch-es, which is 17.1 inches above the normal of 74.2 inches. Therewere two large snowfalls, one of 15 inches on March 5 and 6 andalso one of 10 inches on March 10 and 11.

The river reached its highest level of 12.19 feet on March 12at 2 p.m. and its lowest level of 3.41 on March 5. On Sunday,March 15 the river gauge registered a height of 11.74 feet at 1:30p.m. and by 2 p.m. it had dropped to 6.91 feet, indicating that theice jam, which had been on the minds of uneasy residents alongthe river since March 8, had finally begun to move downstream.It reached Riparius about 2 p.m. and easily passed under thebridge, leaving some large blocks of ice along the river bank, butdoing no damage. It was watched by dozens of spectators andpersonnel from several fire departments. The last large ice jamsto come through Riparius were on Feb. 20,1981 when the camp-ground here in Riparius was flooded and on March 22, 2003. Onthat date, the old bridge, which had been moved upstream andplaced on temporary piers to allow the present bridge to be built,was hit by the ice and large chunks were left on the deck of thebridge. The engineer in charge of the project at the time wasafraid that the bridge was going to be swept away but fortunate-ly it was not. It should be noted that the "record" height of 12.19feet recorded this month was due to an ice jam restricting theflow of the river whereas the previous record height of 12.14 feetwas recorded during a winter thaw Dec. 31, 1948 when the flowrate was 23,900 cubic feet per second or 191,200 gallons per sec-ond. The lowest gauge reading was 1.91 feet July 27,1934 whenonly 114 cubic feet per second passed the gauge in North Creek.The river did drop to 1.95 feet Sept. 6, 1999 — the lowest in thelast thirty years.

Why is it important to take care of our planet?Question of the Month

Dr. Welch from page 6

Adirondack Park often pay $1 million or more per yearfor coverage. Some larger hospitals in bigger cities payover $100 million per year. Individual physicians payanywhere from $10-15,000 for low-risk specialties toover $300,000 for some higher-risk specialties each year.

Perhaps however, much more subtle in the liabilityrealm is the cost of “defensive medicine.” This meansthat we have to order tests to rule out pathology even ifthe likelihood of pathology is low. It means that thereare many tests done that probably are not medically nec-essary but are “legally” necessary because if we don’t dothem and something does go wrong we will be in an in-defensible position.

A fourth area of hidden expense is in meeting the“documentation or credentialing” needs to practice.

Several years ago when I was affiliated with GlensFalls Hospital they did a survey of the number of differ-

ent entities that performed some kind of inspection orsurvey of that facility in a given year. The number wasover 100 and ranged from the local fire department tothe elevator inspectors on one end to the Joint Commis-sion on Health Care Organizations and State Health De-partment on the other end. In the private office it is notquite that bad but the number of organizations or agen-cies we have to report to each year runs in the dozens.The time spent filing reports, documenting informationand processing requests adds up very quickly and againthat cost is passed on to the patient.

In summary, there are many hidden costs in the healthcare system that result in spending a lot of money onthings other than direct care to the patient. In a perfectsystem, nearly every dollar would be spent on preven-tive, diagnostic studies or treatment. We should be ableto build a more efficient system.

Thurman snowmobileclub scrutinized

To the News Enterprise:

Hats off to North Warren TrailBlazers and the South Warren Snow-mobile clubs! You guys do an out-standing job. The North and SouthWarren clubs are fine examples of ex-cellent snowmobile clubs.

Shame on the Thurman Connec-tion Club. What a joke. The NorthWarren Club should take over theThurman Club; it would bring backso many lost members who have leftthat club, and all had worked hard onhelping that club succeed. It wouldmake snowmobiling great wherenow it is poor.

Someone should investigate theThurman Connections’ spendingand management. Did you know thatthey get the biggest amount of mon-ey from the state of the Warren Coun-ty clubs? Where is that money going?They claim the most miles, of whichlots of those miles are not maintainedor even accessible to snowmobiles.

Why has the trail never been com-pleted through the Johnsburg GarnetLake area, now going on 10 years?There are options. All over the state,clubs use roads and get trails done.

And I know at least seven peoplewho had groomed and were willingto groom for the Thurman Connec-tion, but they are not allowed. Theclub says they have groomers whoare laid off. Well where are they? Thetracks to North Creek were groomedall the way only two times the wholeseason! The connecting trail to LakeGeorge was groomed a total of fourtimes. It is ridiculous, consideringthe other clubs groom their trails atleast three times a week. You wouldthink the Thurman Connectionwould keep the tracks beautiful andthe trail from South Warren so thatmany riders would go to NorthCreek and enjoy all the businessesthat would welcome them for foodand drinks. But no they do not. The

20 miles of tracks are nothing butbumps 90 percent of the time.

You would think the club would betrying to complete the trail throughGarnet Lake area and work on a con-nection to North Creek, in case theclub ever loses the railroad tracks tothe snow train, which is a ridiculousidea. But that’s a whole different is-sue.

The ride out to Baldwin Springsalso was bumpy and there was tonsof road riding. Most people wouldlike to go to a great destination likeNorth Creek for lunch or a drink notout to Baldwin Springs, where thereare 30 miles of state trails.

In addition, a land owner in theJohnsburg area gave the club a sec-ond chance after the club went in andbulldozed his land far beyond whatthis land owner wanted. Trees werefallen, etc. Well, he opened the trailup again last year. Last spring, theland owner wanted a gate put up tokeep out four-wheelers and dirtbikes. A board member assured themthat it would be taken care of. It nev-

er was! The land owner ended upputting up the gate with his son, af-ter a whole season of four-wheelersand dirt bikes went through his land.This trail was closed this winter andprobably lost for good.

Enough said. The Thurman Con-nection is a disgrace of a snowmobileclub. This club was excellent in thepast. I have continued my member-ship, while many others have al-ready quit this club, and now itseems I will be joining the many pastmembers by not renewing my duesnext year unless things change in abig way.

In closing, once again, the NorthWarren Trailblazers and South War-ren clubs are great. Trails were beau-tiful, and their many efforts are verymuch appreciated. Keep up the goodwork! If you ride, join a club. Theyneed you. Look into the North andSouth Warren clubs, and you will notbe disappointed.

The Road Is Full of Reasons to

Restore Your Headlights This Season

MS- There is a safety issue on America’s roads that rarely comes to light: dim headlight bulbs and hazy headlight lenses, which may lead to reduced visibility. As Daylight Savings Time nears, and kids hit the streets for trick-or- treating, the importance of clear nighttime visibility increases. A chief culprit of dim headlights is the plastic lens. Millions of cars on the road today have plastic lenses, which typically don’t hold up to weather and time. They may become hazed and yellowed, reducing the light output from the headlamp. The problem increases with the age of the lens, and with the average age of cars on the road about 10 years old, the problem is growing. In addition, the more sun or salt a vehicle is exposed to, the more likely that its plastic headlight lenses may be hazy. This is a common issue on many domestic and foreign automobiles of all price ranges. 3M Car Care, the AAA Foundation and the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) have again partnered to educate car owners during October’s National Headlight Safety Month. Additionally, 3M is proud to support City of Hope, one of the nation’s leading research, treatment and education centers for cancer and other life-threatening diseases, with a cause- related marketing program. For every headlight

or lens restoration kit from 3M purchased at participating retailers starting September 1, through December 31, 2010, 3M will donate $1 to City of Hope, up to $250,000. Together, 3M and consumers can improve their night driving vision and safety, while creating the vision on the road to a cure and prevention for cancer. “You see a number of vehicles on the road with hazed headlights, cracked taillights and broken side mirrors,” said Todd Mathes, automotive expert for 3M Car Care. “These cars may create a danger to the driver and other people on the road. But with some basic education about car care and maintenance, all car owners can take care of these problems before they cause accidents.” Among the tips and solutions offered through National Headlight Safety Month are Vehicle Visibility Safety Checks, repair projects for hazed headlights and guides for replacing headlamps and wiper blades. While replacing headlamps and windshield wiper blades have traditionally been inexpensive repairs, the solution for hazed headlights lenses hasn’t been quite so simple. Replacing the lenses can cost up to $1,500. But now, an innovative category of repair kits makes it easy for car owners to do the repair themselves, and the category has grown an estimated 60 percent just this year. An innovative solution from 3M Car Care -- the 3M Lens Renewal Kit -- allows car owners to do the job themselves in approximately an hour, with just a cordless drill,

all for less than $30. The Lens Renewal Kit features 3M’s industry- leading products that restore headlights to their like-new condition, maximizing night vision and increasing clarity while driving. It’s an easy, cost-effective and smart way to improve visibility, because the road is full of important reasons to shine a light on safety. 3M also offers a Lens Polish and Protector that helps extend the restoration, keeping headlights clear and bright. The 3M Car Care product line can be found at leading automotive aftermarket retailers and online at www.Shop3M.com. For more information on 3M Car Care products, visit www.3MCarCare.com, or follow @ 3MNews on Twitter.

Lake George Half Marathon April 23By Fred [email protected]

LAKE GEORGE — The inaugural Lake George HalfMarathon is expected to be an athletic and economic success.

Organizers hope to attract 500 runners and thousands ofdollars to the community during the event Saturday, April23.

“Our goal is to put on a great race while showcasing thecommunity,” explained Dean Reinke, president of the Flori-da-based Reinke Sports Group. “Lake George fits into outprogram nicely.”

The Lake George Half Marathon is one of about 40 racesin the United States Running Association half marathon se-ries. The races are conducted by Reinke Sports Group, a for-profit group that promotes races nationwide.

Reinke Sports Group decided to hold a race in Lake Georgeafter its president met Tanya Brand of the Warren CountyTourism Department at a convention.

Brand said Warren County is becoming increasingly pop-ular with sporting event promoters, citing the Quebec Velobike tour last summer, the Warrior Run at West Mountainthis year and others.

“We’ve found many sports-oriented travelers love ourarea,” Brand said. “We’re a great destination for outdoorrecreation.”

A race with 500 runners will have a significant impact onthe local economy, Brand said. She noted a motorcoach tourof about 50 people brings $10,000 a day to a community.

“Our goal is to promote our area as a destination to trav-elers,” Brand said. “The larger the group the more moneythey bring to the community. We hope many of the runnerswill spend the weekend in the area, enjoy themselves andcome back again.”

The Lake George Half marathon is actually three races.There will be a half marathon run of 13.1 miles beginning at8 a.m., a 3.1-mile run/walk at 8:15 a.m. and a fun run at 9:45a.m. All events begin and end at the Fort William Henry Ho-tel on Canada Street.

The half marathon course will be out-and-back north onRoute 9N.

“It’s a dynamite course,” Reinke said. “It’s right along thelake; it’s beautiful. I’ve been assured its going to be a beau-tiful day.”

Registration is available online atwww.usrahm.com/Events/Lake_George_Half_Marathon.Entry fees are $60 for the half marathon, $25 for the 5K and

$10 for the fun run. There will be no race day registration.Half marathoners will receive a tech shirt and 5K runners aT-shirt. Runners will also receive goodie bags.

Following the races there will be a post-race party andawards ceremonies.

“We want this to be a fun, positive experience for every-one,” Reinke said. “We’ll have a post-race party with a liveband and food.”

There were 260 runners from 18 states registered April 4.Reinke expects the race to have a field of about 500 when thegun is fired April 23.

“I think 500 runners would be avery good first year,” he said. “Wehave the intention to make this anannual event. We feel it’s a race wecan keep growing. I can see therace having 700-800 runners nextyear. We could reach as many as

2,000 in the future.Reinke said bringing an event to Lake George has person-

al significance. Reinke, himself a national-class runner, wasfriends with the late Barry Brown of Bolton, a world classrunner in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. He died in 1992.

“Barry was always asking me to come to the area to runwith him,” Reinke said. “Sadly, I never did. I can see why heloved it there so much.”

Denton Publication is official media sponsor of the LakeGeorge Half Marathon.

I ’ve spent most of the past week enjoying the incredi-ble late season snowpack. Although the brilliant sun-shine and warming temperatures eventually turned

the snow density to mush by late afternoon, the backcoun-try ski conditions have been outstanding.

Over the course of three days, I skied across the pondsand over the seven carries of St. Regis Canoe Area. On theOpening Day of trout season, I skied along the old roadfrom Horseshoe Lake into the upper dam on Lows Lake.We wet a line on the open waters of Hitchens Pond, to noavail.

I finished the weekend with a quick trip into GreatCamp Santanoni in Newcomb, where I enjoyed a pleasantspring day with a group of old friends.

Of course, at this point in time, my main interest re-volves around locating any current open water angling op-portunities. It appears they are few and far between and itmay be a while before winter ’s hardtop is finally removed.

However, ice fishermen aren’t complaining. They canstill be found on many local lakes, where solid ice exists.

As sap buckets begin to sprout from the maples, andgeese are again in the air, anglers will continue to dreamof brook trout on the backwoods ponds.

April’s full moon, scheduled to arrive on the 18th of themonth, will prompt the annual smelt run. Even if the iceremains in command of the lakes and ponds, anglers willfind opportunities around inlets and feeder streams. Assmelt and suckers return to these areas to spawn, largerpredatory fish will also be found nearby.

In recent years, I’ve been keeping a close eye on theburgeoning fisheries of Lake Champlain. The recent addi-tion of another invasive species, alwives, has dramaticallyaffected the Big Lake’s fish population.

Since introduction, the alewives have become a primaryfood source for many species, including lake trout,salmon, pike and perch.

Ice fishermen have reported catching yellow perch thattipped the scale at over two pounds this season, and therecord for lake trout has steadily increased.

I expect anglers will findsimilar affects with manyother predatory speciessuch as walleye, bass andbrown trout.

Salmo SalarShortly after the first sig-

nificant spring thaw, whichis often the result of heavy rains, anglers can expect tofind salmon returning to the rivers and streams that feedLake Champlain.

The spring run of these silvery specimens is likely toproduce some outstanding angling opportunities due tothe combination of successful lamprey control and the bur-geoning forage base.

Opportunities will be readily available on the Saranac,Ausable and Boquet Rivers, as well as on the smaller trib-utaries such as the Little Ausable. Last fall, reports indi-cate that many of the lake’s rivers experienced recordnumbers of salmon.

I doubt populations will ever be as prolific as they werein the 1800’s, when spearing or netting could bring inmore than 100 fish per boat on a good night. However, Ido believe there will be far more trophy quality fish, withfewer lamprey wounds than we’ve seen in the past fewdecades.

Despite the expected boon that alewives may provide,they also offer a huge potential for bust.

When cold water species, such as salmon, lake trout andbrowns begin to forage primarily on a diet of alewives, theself-sustaining populations of these game fish can becomeseverely diminished.

This is due to a thiamine deficiency that affects thespawning success of both trout and salmon. Alewives alsohave a tendency to experience massive die-offs which canresult from sudden temperature changes or other stressfactors such as spawning. These boom and bust cycles can

greatly reduce the forage base for prey fish.Although alewives are likely responsible for the signifi-

cant size increase in yellow perch reported this season, theinvaders have the potential to cause a crash in the popula-tion of this popular table fare.

As the population increases, alewives will eventuallybegin to feed on perch spawn. After several years of for-aging on spawn, the Big Lake’s perch population could begreatly reduced.

Despite such ominous predictions, I expect to spend thefirst few week’s of the new season wetting a line along thelake’s numerous tributaries.

Elsewhere, anglers should look for pools at the base ofwaterfalls on the rivers and streams. These areas oftenhave hold over brown trout that remain in the area fromthe fall spawn. Rainbow trout will also be seeking similarholding pools, as they move upstream to spawn in thespring.

As water tumbles over rocks and or drops from a falls,the water temperature increases faster than it does in flat,calm water areas. Water temperatures at the base of a wa-terfall are typically several degrees warmer than the calmwater above the falls. The more foam and froth created byfalls, the more warm air entering the water.

Until the ice departs the ponds, locations such as TheFlume Pool on the Ausable, Wadhams Falls on the BoquetRiver or Imperial Dam on the Saranac, will offer ideal con-ditions for early season anglers, especially on warm,sunny days.

LAKE GEORGE — Bienvenue. That’swhat the contingent at the Lake GeorgeRegional Chamber of Commerce andConvention & Visitor ’s Bureau (CVB)was saying April 1-3 at its vendor tableduring the National Women’s Show inMontreal.

Dubbed “The ultimate girl’s dayout,” Lake George was well represent-ed at the show by Janice Fox, ChristineMolella and Michael Consuelo, accord-ing to Chamber Executive DirectorLuisa Craige-Sherman. This Adiron-dack resort village was one of about 300exhibitors showcasing their waresamong the food and wine, cookingdemos, celebrities, health and wellnessproducts, fashion shows and home ren-ovation ideas. Only Lake George was-n't offering free makeovers, it was sell-ing itself as a travel destination forCanadian women.

“The Montreal show was a huge hit,”Craige-Sherman said in an April 4 e-mail. “Our guides and informationflew off the table.”

When it comes to attracting Canadi-an tourists, Lake George Chamber offi-cials have taken a proactive approachto marketing the southern WarrenCounty region, from travel shows anddiscount cards to Canadian-friendlymascots and a bilingual (English andFrench) staff and Web site.

The Montreal show was a typicalmarketing event for the Chamber andonly one of several shows the staff at-tends each year, Craige-Sherman saidin a sit-down interview April 1.

“They will be touting the LakeGeorge area and all the things there isto do here,” she said.

Such was the case when the Chambersent representatives to Ontario last Oc-tober for the annual Toronto Ski, Snow-board & Travel Show and when Craige-Sherman attended the Canadian Snow-bird Association’s annual SnowbirdExtravaganza in January in Florida.

Canadians traveling south from Que-bec have a straight shot at the LakeGeorge region by way of Interstate-87,the Adirondack Northway.

On its Web site — lakegeorgecham-ber.com — the Chamber advertisesLake George with this invitation, “Our‘Queen of theAmericanLakes’ can beyour jewel of avacation play-ground with anoverabundanceof things to dofor all ages … ora quiet respiteon your ownpersonal is-land!”

Click the Canadian flag on the topright of the Web pages and the textturns from English to French, courtesyof Google Translate. A “three-hourdrive from Montreal” instantly turnsinto “une des trois heures de routefacile de Montréal.”

And French-speaking Canadians vis-

iting Lake George can stop by theChamber office on Route 9 to pick upbrochures and speak to CVB Member-ship Sales Coordinator Sue Scott Park-er, who is fluent in French and routine-ly welcomes Francophones (as well asAnglophones) to Lake George.

On the streets of Lake George, espe-cially at thedowntown Visi-tors’ Center,tourists may seethe two Chambermascots welcom-ing Canadiansduring the sum-mer. Georgie —the big greenguy— is the LakeGeorge LakeMonster and

wears a white shirt that says, “WelcomeCanadian Visitors!” And there is Jacque— a red Canadian maple leaf head withbright white eyes and a huge smile —who wears a black tuxedo. The twomascots can sometimes be seen togeth-er at special events or just roaming thestreets during the busy season.

With a strong Canadian economy, thepush to market Lake George to ourneighbors in the north was a no-brain-er for the Chamber.

“It’s at least 20 to 25 percent of ourmarket,” Craige-Sherman said.

There are more than 4,000 Canadiansin the Chamber ’s database, and they re-ceive regular e-mail newsletters abouttravel deals and events in the LakeGeorge region. Those names came frompeople who signed up for the Cham-ber ’s popular Canadian Bienvenue Dis-count Card program. Travelers whosign up must prove their Canadian cit-izenship. Then they get a discount card,which gives them discounts at partici-pating businesses, including 14 accom-modations, eight attractions, fiverestaurants and two gift shops.

Craige-Sherman encourages more lo-cal businesses sign up for the programas a way to entice Canadian customers,and she said they should train theirfront desk staff about the program.Canadians can sign up online at theChamber ’s Web site.

“People are always looking fordeals,” she said.

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Ethicshas officially been formed.

At the April 4 meeting of the county Board of Supervisors,the five board members and one alternate were introducedto the board.

“This is something that we have been working towardsince I was first sworn in as the county chairman,” Jay su-pervisor Randy Douglas said. “It was not as cut and dry asI thought it was going to be, but this shows that we are trans-parent as a county and that we are trying to do the rightthings.”

Ken Doyle, Phyllis Klein, Alex Shmulsky, Michael Oticelleand Frank Kearns were sworn into their positions after re-ceiving the unanimous approval of the board of supervisors.James Hermann was also sworn in to serve as the alternate.

County attorney Daniel Manning said that he was confi-dent in the selection of the board. Manning did address the

fact that one member, Doyle, was an employee of Adiron-dack Community Action Programs.

“They are not a county entity and it would not be an ethicsviolation in anyway,” Manning said. “We have worked hardto make sure that none of the board members have any tieswith Essex County.”

The original board will serve staggered terms between oneand five years, with each member receiving a full five-yearterm when they are appointed.

Manning said that there would be some time needed fortraining and policy institution. Douglas said that he hopesto get the board together soon after they are approved tostart the learning process.

“I think that we should have them ready to start by earlyMay,” Douglas said. “I am sure that Dan will want them tobe up to par on everything before they start.”Manning saidthat once the names are accepted by the board, there wouldbe some time needed for training and policy institution.

The county ethics board will be charged with overseeingethics complaints and issuing opinions, according to Man-ning.

Center closed in2010 due tobudget cutsBy Andy [email protected]

BEEKMANTOWN — TheBeekmantown GatewayWelcome Center will re-open this year now that law-makers in Albany have re-stored money in the 2011-12state budget for the center ’soperation.

Assemblywoman JanetDuprey, R-Plattsburgh, con-firmed onApril 1 thatthe new statebudget, ap-proved onMarch 31, in-cludes$196,000 tore-open theGatewayWelcome Center, whichserves as a visitor center forsouthbound travelers on I-87, the Adirondack North-way, and is popular withCanadians.

“I think we know the val-ue of the center,” Dupreysaid. “It is definitely thegateway of Canada into theUnited States, includingtourist destinations likeLake George and beyond.”

When state legislators andthen Gov. David Patersonproposed shutting down theGateway Centers in Beek-mantown and Binghamtonin 2010, Duprey, Sen. BettyLittle and tourism officialsfrom throughout the statefought for the centers to stayopen, arguing that they helporient travelers to New Yorkstate. In the end, the Bing-hamton center stayed open,and the Beekmantown cen-ter was closed. But local leg-islators lobbied this year torestore the money for Beek-mantown.

“It’s never been far awayfrom the focus,” Duprey

said. “Sen. Little was instru-mental with this.”

Little could not be reachedfor comment.

Garry Douglas, presidentof the Plattsburgh-NorthCountry Chamber of Com-merce, said he is pleasedwith the news, and it didn’tcome as a surprise.

“We were very confidentthat AssemblywomanDuprey and Sen. Littlewould get this done,” Dou-glas said.

There are two dimensionsto the funding situation forthe Beekmantown center

that need tobe ad-dressed, ac-cording toDouglas.One is eco-nomic andthe other ispolitical.

“Itcouldn’t

come at a better time,” Dou-glas said, referring to the up-coming summer season andthat the center ’s re-openingthis spring will have a posi-tive impact on the region’seconomy. The Canadianeconomy has been strong,and that was evident withthe increase in Canadianshoppers in 2010. He expectsthat trend to continue thisyear.

“Canadians are the mainusers of the center,” Douglassaid.

As for the closing of theBeekmantown center in De-cember 2010, Douglas as-serted that the move to de-fund the facility was politi-cally motivated, an effort todo harm to a Republican-held area from a state gov-ernment controlled by De-mocrats. He questioned whythe Beekmantown centerwas shut down while theBinghamton center was keptopen.

“This is a return to fair-ness,” Douglas said.

The Adirondack Regional

Tourism Council (ARTC) hasheld the contract to operatethe Gateway Welcome Cen-ter in Beekmantown and hasprovided visitor informa-tion and staffed the buildingsince 1990.

When contacted April 1,ARTC Executive DirectorRon Ofner declined to com-ment on the funding until anew contract is signed.

The ARTC is the promo-tional organization for thecounties of Clinton, Essex,Franklin, Hamilton, Lewis,Warren and part of St.Lawrence. Collectively, theypromote the Adirondack Re-gion as a vacation destina-tion.

Each year, the WelcomeCenter served more than100,000 visitors, receivedmore than 7,500 phone calls,mailed more than 50,000guides upon request, anddistributed 195,000brochures.

The number of peopleserved at the center supportDouglas’ comments on theincreased traffic from thenorth. According to anARTC press release in March2010, December 2009 was thebusiest December since thecenter opened, and the lasttwo years were the busieston record since 1997. Morethan 85 percent of those vis-itors were from Canada.

As the center ’s shutdownwas imminent, ARTC endedtheir comments with thisquestion, “What type ofmessage will be sent uponarrival at a boarded up andclosed ‘welcome’ center?Sorry, New York state isclosed.”

Now, with funding inplace, the message will onceagain be, “New York state isopen.”

“That is extremely goodnews,” said Saranac LakeArea Chamber of CommerceExecutive Director SylvieNelson, a native of theprovince of Quebec. “That’sone place where we distrib-ute our publication, theSaranac Lake VisitorGuide.”

When the Beekmantowncenter closed, it shut off amajor distribution channelfor the Saranac Lake cham-ber, especially to travelerscoming from the Montrealarea. Quebec represents thesecond largest population inCanada.

“They love to come downhere,” Nelson said. “I’mglad that the state of NewYork recognizes tourism asan industry and that it is im-portant to rural areas such asthe Adirondacks.”

The 2011-12 New Yorkstate budget went into effectApril 1.

DEC releases 2010 bear, deer numbersALBANY — The state Department of Environmental Con-

servation says the deer take was up slightly in 2010 and thebear harvest was “strong.”

The numbers for last year were released Monday by DECCommissioner Joe Martens.

In 2010, hunters harvested just over 230,000 deer in NewYork, up about 3 percent from 2009. Additionally, some 16,000junior hunters took advantage of big game hunting opportu-nities, taking in approximately 4,900 deer.

Meanwhile, bear harvest numbers were “strong” in 2010,with hunters statewide taking more than 1,060 bears.

Commissioner Martens says deer and bear hunters play a“crucial role” which benefits all New Yorkers. According toMartens, hunters help maintain deer numbers at levels that are“ecologically and socially appropriate.”

“We appreciate their participation,” he said.When it comes to bears, Martens says New York sports an

excellent habitat and offers vast and accessible public landsthat provide "exciting opportunities" for bear hunting.

The deer take last year included about 123,100 antlerlessdeer and just under 107,000 adult bucks. Numbers here, in thestate’s Northern Zone, were similar to those compiled in 2009.

Over the years, DEC has developed a deer managementplan based on information provided by hunters and publiccomment.

In the Adirondacks, only 521 bears were hunted and killedlast year, down about 35 percent from 2009. Other areas of thestate saw the bear take increase.

Martens notes that bear numbers in the Adirondack Parkdepend heavily on key food sources. For example, duringyears in which foods like apples, cherries, and raspberries areabundant, the bear harvest tends to decrease — that was thecase last year.

When foods like beech nuts are more abundant, bear num-bers increase. The full report is available at DEC’s website,www.dec.ny.gov.

WARRENSBURG — Area high school baseball and soft-ball teams’ lineup of sanctioned games will be cut in abouthalf for 2011, as the Adirondack League has cancelled allleague games scheduled from March 31 to April 23.

Athletic directors of schools competing in the AdirondackLeague met last week and decided to postpone the begin-ning of the Adirondack League matchups to April 25 due tothe persistence of snow on many schools’ playing fields.

The decision affects Warrensburg High School and NorthWarren High, as well as their counterparts in Bolton andLake George. Other schools in the League affected by thedecision are Hadley-Luzerne, Corinth, Fort Edward, Hart-ford, Whitehall, Argyle, Fort Ann and Salem.

The three-week delay in league play and cancellation ofabout half the season schedule is a relatively rare one in re-cent history, Adirondack League President Andrew Cooksaid Monday. Cook serves as principal of Hartford HighSchool.

“We’re having difficult weather and 95 percent of ourleague’s athletic directors said their fields weren’t yetplayable,” he said. “We had to reconfigure the schedule soleague games would start on April 25 after spring break.”

The decision means schools will be playing other teams inthe league once rather than twice as initially scheduled. Thelineup of 16 or so softball and baseball games traditionallyheld during the spring season has now been reduced to sev-en or eight. League officials had considered re-schedulingearly games at the end of the season, but doing so present-ed insurmountable conflicts in school calendars, Cook said.

Individual schools in the league are free to hold scrim-mages or non-league games in place of the league games, hesaid.

Warrensburg Athletic Director Steve Nolan said forecastsof unfavorable weather appeared to crimp such opportuni-ties for play time before spring break.

“At this time, we have no games scheduled for next week,”he said Monday.

While North Warren High School and Lake George Highhave competed in tennis matches held on campuses ofschools in warmer neighboring counties, the WarrensburgHigh School tennis team has not been competing becausetheir schedule called for matches on their home court at EchoLake Camp, which is still unplayable due to accumulatedsnow and wet, cold weather, Nolan said.

Monday, April 4, Warrensburg Varsity Baseball Teammembers were chopping through snow piles several feetdeep on a playing field behind the local elementary schoolin an effort to maximize game opportunities.

Digging down to the ground and spreading out the snowallows the sun to melt the built-up snow and ice faster, mak-ing the fields playable sooner, Varsity Baseball coach RexReynolds said. As of Friday, April 1, there were 19 inches ofsnow atop an inch of ice on the Varsity Baseball field behindthe high school, he said.

While the snow persists on the play fields in Warrensburg,the high school baseball and softball teams have been prac-ticing in the school district’s two gymnasiums, tossing ballsback and forth and swinging bats in batting cages.

In Chestertown, high school athletic fields were coveredwith 18 inches of snow and ice, North Warren Central Ath-letic Director Jason Humiston reported.

He said his school’s Varsity athletes were outside dailypracticing in the student parking lot, which is big enough toset up a full infield.

North Warren’s softball and baseball teams scrimmagedGranville on Thursday, March 31, and they will be compet-ing in non-sanctioned games against Hartford on Thursday,April 14.

Nolan said that he and other athletic officials were hop-ing the cold wet weather would relent and allow inter-scholastic competition to begin.

“Hopefully, it will stay warm at night,” he said. “That’swhat gets rid of snow.”
