LAKE PLEASANT —Broadband is a sore issue inthe central Adirondacks,with few hot spots for high-speed to satisfy the needsand wants of businesses andindividuals in the 21st cen-tury.
But following the firstcompetitive funding appli-cations under Gov. AndrewCuomo’s economic develop-ment councils, two projectsto string fiber-optics intounderserved populationcenters in the county shouldbegin soon.
In the north, Slic NetworkSolutions, part of theNicholville Telephone Co.,was approved for a $596,000grant to connect TupperLake, recently wired but notyet functional, down Route30 and into Long Lake.

Slic President Mark Dz-wonczyk said the 23 miles offiber-optics are an expensiveinstallation, but more in-vestment is needed to buildout connections in the towncenter. There are also plansto use wireless repeaters toincrease internet availabili-ty.
NORTH CREEK — WithTown Supervisor SterlingGoodspeed absent for thelast town meeting of 2011,Supervisor-Elect and cur-rent Councilman RonVanselow got a chance totest drive his new seat asmeeting chair Tuesday, Dec.20.
Though the agenda waslong, the items were mostlyhousekeeping by the board,and Vanselow ran the meet-ing in an hour and a quarter.
The town cleared its firstFEMA award recently for thefirst round of flooding thispast year, in April. Thisaward totals $223,461.50.Johnsburg Highway Super-intendent Dan Hitchcock re-quested and was approvedfor $193,213.77 of the FEMA
funding for a new plowtruck.
A plow truck from 1995has cracks in the frame. Incorrespondence to theboard, Hitchcock said he'dhad the cracks inspected bywelders, but none of the re-pairmen he surveyedthought the frame could berepaired to make the trucksafe for drivers.
The cracks are at placeswhere extra metal platingcould not be applied, so anyfixes would be too weak tobe dependable, said Hitch-cock.
Hitchcock plans to canni-balize parts from the retiredplow to sustain anothertown plow from the sameyear. He said parts for thesetrucks are very difficult toget, and sometimes takeweeks to arrive when they'refound.
Warren County PlanningDepartment's WayneLamothe presented to theboard on a grant secured forMain Street improvements.
Lamothe compared theupgrades to Lake Placid'sdowntown. Sidewalkswould be accented withbrick pavers, public trashcans would be placed andbenches would be installed.The sidewalks would be im-proved, handicap rampswould be plentiful andcrosswalks would be a like-ly part of the plan.
The project would be on athree-year funding plan, andthey've secured $48,116 in50/50 matching funds thatmust be met by town-pro-vided funds or project workdone by town employees.
Lamothe suggested ap-plying to theAdirondack/Glens Fallstransportation council,which has funds availablefor street improvements.
Councilman Frank More-house Jr. asked if the projectcould include the sidewalkas far as Johnsburg Central
School, noting that many lo-cal students use it. Lamothesaid there's plenty of roomto adjust the project for sucha change.
From the audience, BobNessle expressed concernthat the aging water infra-structure under Main Streetcould undo the hard work ofroad crews. He said heavyequipment digging for bro-ken pipes is a common sight.What if that continues undera new sidewalk?
Lamothe replied that partof the preliminary planningfor the project would in-clude a review of what'sburied beneath the pave-ment. Any problems re-vealed can then be dealtwith at the town's discre-tion.
The board approved pur-
suing the funding for the im-provement project.
Cedarwood engineer TomSuazzo and local publicproject leader Nessle updat-ed the board on efforts to getDepartment of Transporta-tion and privately ownedland added to the Ski BowlPark.
Suazzo said leveling outthe patch of land would pro-vide great amounts of sandand gravel material for thehighway department at amuch cheaper price thanavailable elsewhere.
They are working on get-ting a private landowner totransfer an adjacent patch ofproperty, said Nessle, andhe's been very cooperative.If they didn't acquire the ad-jacent property, they'd needto leave a large slope of sand
and gravel to support it. Ifthey can get it, the quantityof material that can beclaimed by the highway de-partment would be muchlarger. Ultimately, the goalof getting and clearing theproperty is to expand SkiBowl Park.
The board approved a bidfor their new bookkeepingand payroll software pack-age for $8,182. That pricewill include the software,training and a year of techsupport. The next-lowestbid had a lower initial price,but annual tech support wastwice as costly, saidVanselow.
The board passed a retro-active resolution to allowAFLAC insurance to makepay withholdings from en-rolled town employees.

WEVERTOWN — The month of December has been a se-ries of holiday miracles at the Johnsburg food pantry.
At the beginning of December, the shelves were nearlybare. The shipment of food from the Regional Food Bankwas not due to be delivered until Dec. 13. The volunteer staffwere worried about how they would provide for the morethan 100 families that were counting on a food distributionbefore that.
Without solicitation, the community began to make ithappen. In the first two weeks of December, food was giv-en to the pantry from all over the town of Johnsburg.
First, Gore Mountain gave several pickup truckloads offood from their food drive. In addition, Echo Lake Camp do-nated an enormous amount of cereal. The Saratoga-North
Creek Railroad brought a variety of food from their stores,and several local churches and individuals sent boxes offood they had collected.
By the time distribution day came, the shelves were fulland recipients of the pantry were able to have the food theyneeded. The miracles didn't stop there. Annually, the pantryprovides a Christmas Box to eligible recipients. The boxholds the ingredients for a Christmas Dinner.
With a special grant from the Margaret Morehouse Foun-dation, a sizeable donation from the Cub Scouts, continuingdonations from local churches and individuals topped offby homemade Christmas cookies from the North RiverMethodist Church, the pantry distributed more than 140Christmas dinners to residents of the community.
The Adirondacks are often a challenging place to live andwork. It is a special place, though, where neighbors helpneighbors. This kind of caring is often found here in theNorth Country — truly a gift "made in America."
Food pantry staff impressed by givingNorth River Church members, Anita Abrams, Jen Davis, Amy Sebattis, Sandy and Jim Cashman make plates of cookies for inclusion in the Christ-mas Baskets distributed by the Johnsburg Food Pantry. All of the cookies were made and donated by members of the Johnsburg community.

News Enterprise Editorial
Doubtlessly, most of our readers willbe attending church this weekend,enjoying the melodic, memory-
filled strains of the classic Christmas carols,hearing comforting words from clergy, andperhaps enjoying the warm glow of candle-light in the faces of parishioners at ChristmasEve services.
These soul-stirring sights and sounds,which fill us with the spirit of love and hope,won’t be experienced again until next year.
Or will they?With the pressures of employment, home-
making and other commitments, as many ashalf of those attending church this weekendwon’t be attending services until Easter ornext Christmas — motivated by a sense ofspiritual duty or adherence to tradition.
But we at Denton Publications propose achallenge to those of us who belong to theabove group of occasional church attendees.
It’s a challenge that reaps many benefits —spiritually, emotionally and socially.
Why not return to church the followingweek — and attend regularly throughout theyear?
Those who return to church on New Year’sDay and continue the practice through 2012are likely to experience infusions of holidayjoy, love, and hope over and over again, up-lifting their pressured lives.
It’s not only for raising one’s spiritualawareness and to build a foundation of faith,but to become more involved in such a vitalelement of the community.
Church activities have for centuries been amainstay of community life.
Not only do local churches’ social events,and their youth programs provide vital life-long grounding, but their various activitiesand missions are vital in connecting all of usin such crucial ways.
Also important are the various communi-ty outreach programs, whether it’s foodpantries, clothing drives, or collections forfamilies who’ve faced calamities or merelyunfortunate circumstances.
It’s important to be aware that the church-es in the Adirondacks and other rural areas
need our involvement more than ever.Studies by various denominations have
confirmed that rural churches in America andEurope have been losing members at a sub-stantial rate.
The Adirondack Park Regional AssessmentProject report, released in 2009 by the Adiron-dack Association of Towns and Villages,showed that the Adirondacks, particularlythe central regions, have lost up to one-thirdof their population since 1970.
The number of children living year-roundin the Adirondacks have decreased evenmore drastically, according to the report’s re-cent update.
It’s likely due to the young adults movingout of the region for better job opportunitiesand launching their families elsewhere.
This is particularly hard on the churcheshere, as it’s the young children that have tra-ditionally drawn their parents into churchlife. The result of this population hemorrhag-ing has been a lot of empty pews, scarce at-tendance at Sunday schools, and eliminationof many church social events and outreachprograms.
Add to these trends the new attitude es-poused by Baby Boomers and their offspringthat stresses individualism and more andmore people are interested in church only ontheir own terms.
With this shift in demographics and atti-tude — and social media and electronic me-dia increasingly competing for our time andattention — the families who remain herehave an ever-greater responsibility to keepthe churches not only alive and solvent, butvibrant and influential.
Let’s head back to church Jan. 1 and there-after.
We need our churches and their activities,and they need us.

Experience the joy... all year long
This time of year myfamily is alwaysasking for clues on
possible Christmas gifts. I’velearned over time that if Idon’t give them useful ideasI end up with things I havelittle to no use for or evenworse must be seen wearingthe item in public. Despitestrongly advocating for buy-ing simple and not spendingmuch on me, I’ve learned if Idon’t provide specifics, I’vegot no one to blame but my-self.
Christmas is all about hope, faith andlove. It’s a time for giving and receiving, atime for friends and family and it’s a timeto remember the true meaning of the sea-son and how a small child born in amanger over 2000 year ago changed ourworld forever.
With that thought in mind, I thought Iwould use this week’s column to expressmy Christmas wish list for the really im-portant wishes in life. They are the wishesmost never really speak much about be-cause they are the type of wishes that can’tbe easily granted or fulfilled but yet in myheart they remain the real wishes that I’msure many of us share.
I wish for greater respect for all humans.That those who carry weapons, seek to doharm or hatred toward others, could justrespect people of different views, faith,skin color or nationality. They call it worldpeace. I’m sure we all would love to wit-ness it, if only for a day or even an hour.
I wish for greater opportunity for allchildren. To be raised in safe homes by lov-ing parents, with food on the table, a warmroof overhead, an education system thatprepares them for fruitful lives full ofpromise and a lifetime of Christmaseseveryday of their lives.
I wish for the end to the many dreadeddiseases, ailments and birth defects that af-fect the population. I see so many brave in-dividuals who face life with these burdensand do so with such courage.
I wish more people could experiencefaith in a supreme being and openly prac-tice their faith, attending services regularlyand recognize that only through our trustin God will we overcome much of whattroubles our world today.
I wish more folks of good fortune would
share some of what theyhave with others less fortu-nate. We all witness thosewho give from the heart reg-ularly even at times whenthey don’t have much. Justimagine a world full of peo-ple helping each other.
I wish our governmentand all governments couldput aside their bickering andseek compromise for thepeople they govern by find-ing the common ground andrecognizing the important
leadership roles they play in advancing so-ciety.
I wish for those unemployed to find em-ployment in fields they find rewarding.Equally important I wish for all those cur-rently employed to value their careers andutilize a strong work ethic in the tasks theyperform, understanding that the job theydo is a direct reflection on the person theyare. I also wish that employers would placegreater value on the efforts of those theyemploy.
I wish for Christmas 2011 to be anotherturning point in a world that seems to havelost its way. Despite remarkable technolo-gy, advancements in the medical and scien-tific fields we need the saving grace of themiracle child born so many years ago.
Many may say the wishes above arenothing but fanciful dreams, but not one ofthose fanciful dreams could not become re-ality if each of us were to embraces themand make them our own. It’s amazing whata little hope, faith and love can do in yourlife if you let them in and share with themwith all that you come in contact with. Andlet’s face it, with all of our running around,Christmas preparations and gifting thisseason at the end of the day wouldn’t yourather trade all those gifts under this year ’stree for any of the wishes listed above? Thekey to granting those wishes starts in eachof our hearts and they are never more openthan at this time of the year.
On behalf of the Denton Publicationsstaff and our families I would like to wishyou and your family a very joyous and safeholiday, a prosperous new year and for mylast wish, that you are granted all of yourChristmas wishes. God bless us one and all.

Letters to the EditorLoved article, hated cartoon
To the News Enterprise:What a disappointing editorial cartoon
in your Dec. 3 editions. The article abovethe cartoon was on the true meaning of theseason. That article brought forth a warmthwhile your papers all took issue with Re-publican science? An insult to one and allfrom one particular party as it would callthem “... a bunch of dense and unstableparticles ...”

Book highlights importance of bridge
To the News Enterprise:I want to thank Denton Publications for
publishing “The Lake Champlain BridgeCommemorative Book.” It brings out thehistorical importance of a Champlaincrossing which dates back to 1776. Thebook highlights many of the great destina-tions and businesses that are on the Ver-mont and New York side of the lake.
The local regional economy has sufferedfrom the bridge being closed and torndown, but now this new bridge may be adestination in itself and should bring manyvisitors to the area just to walk on the veryinviting pedestrian-friendly bridge to takein the beautiful views of the Adirondacksand the Green Mountains. Our family hasalready made a day trip out of walkingacross the bridge which concluded with aleisure drive back through Vermont and adinner in Whitehall.
As a civil engineer and past president ofthe local section of the American Society ofCivil Engineers (ASCE), I have sat throughnumerous seminars and panel discussionson the effects of our nation’s aging infra-structure.
The problem doesn’t hit home thoughuntil it impacts your daily life, for instance,you go to use the faucet to get a drink andno water comes out due to the public water
main break, at that moment your life hasbeen impacted by failing infrastructure.Can anyone put a price tag to the 4.2 billionhours that Americans waste sitting in traf-fic congestion? The American Society ofCivil Engineers actually has, and it’s $78billion or $710 per motorist. One third ofour roadways are in poor or mediocre con-dition, which costs motorists $67 billion ayear in repairs.
The Champlain Bridge closure has im-pacted many of us and should remind all ofus of one of our nation’s biggest problemsand how critical it is for the public to havesafe and functioning infrastructure(bridges, roadways, dams and airports).Ultimately, no one was injured or died dueto a bridge collapse, but the people thatwere hurt the most due to the bridge clo-sure were the daily commuters who need-ed to travel over the bridge for work andthe local businesses along that corridor.
ASCE has issued a 2009 National Infra-structure Report Card to provide informa-tion on why it is critical that our countryre-invests in its infrastructure. It rates var-ious categories of infrastructure such asbridges, dams, aviation, roads, transit,schools, levees, etc. The overall grade forthe report cad was a “D” and the estimatedfive-year investment that our nation wouldneed to fix the infrastructure comes with a$2.2 trillion price tag (www.asce.org/re-portcard).
Our nation’s infrastructure could usemore attention like what Denton Publica-tions has provided with “The Lake Cham-plain Bridge Commemorative Book.” Itbrings out a heightened awareness to infra-structure and shows how important theChamplain Bridge is to our community.
Once again on behalf of the civil engi-neering community, I would like to thankyou for the much needed publicity. Not tomention it is a great collector ’s item andChristmas gift.

Cartoon was a cheap shotTo the News Enterprise:I have to admit that I thought your “car-
toon” on Republican Science was in poortaste. I wasn’t surprised at it since I feelyour newspaper — like most — favors theDemocrats on the state and national scene.However, I do not believe your paper fa-vors either party on local issues. I will betruthful; I would have thought it was inpoor taste even if it said “Democrat Sci-ence.” Let me explain why.
As a county party chairman, I feel thatmy most important job is to get good qual-ity people to run for local and county posi-tions. Let us look at the supervisor ’s posi-tion in almost any town in the county. Thepay is very low for the responsibilities ithas and the amount of time it requires. Notonly do you have the town problems, butalso you have to deal with the county prob-lems. Both have been complicated by thestate’s 2 percent property cap. You remem-ber how that was sold by Albany: “Weknow we have to eliminate any new un-funded mandates and limit those unfund-ed mandates already in place.” How hasthat been working for the North Country?
So we have a poorly paid position withunrealistic constraints, impossible prob-lems, the expectations that no matter whatyou do on any issue you will be making en-emies. You have to cut programs you can,not those you might prefer. Now as abonus, along with any other politician, Iopen your paper and get a cheap shot at-tempt at humor. I know you are a registeredRepublican. We are looking for a candidatefor supervisor in your town for 2013. Areyou interested Dan?

At this holiday season, we areaware of the world’s problems:wars and uprisings, famine, nat-
ural disasters, the state of the economy, un-employment, foreclosures, rising fuel costs,illness and, yes, death of loved ones. It iseasy to “look at the glass and see if halfempty.”
This year the North Country Singerssang a piece by John Rutter that asks us totake another look, to look from a differentperspective:
“Look at the world, everything allaround us
Look at the world and marvel every day. Look at the world: so many joys and
wonders, So many miracles along our way Look at the earth bringing forth fruit and
flower, Look at the sky the sunshine and the
rain. Look at the hills, look at the trees and
mountains, Valley and flowing river, field and plain.Think of the spring, think of the warmth
of summer Bringing the harvest before winter ’s
cold. Everything grows, everything has a sea-
son, till it is gathered to the Father's fold: Every good gift, all that we need and
cherish. Comes from the Lord in token of his loveWe are his hands, stewards of all his
bountyHis is the earth and his the heavens
abovePraise to thee, O Lord for all creation. Give us thankful hearts that we may see All the gifts we share, and every bless-
ing, All things come of thee.”No matter what our faith or belief sys-
tem, these gifts are available for all to par-take of and enjoy. We just need to open oureyes and look around. There is but one re-quirement. That we be thankful stewards.
So let us raise our glass in a toast to theNew Year. Look — it isn’t just half full. It isfull to the brim!

The hamlet of Long Lake is very lake-centric, said Hamil-ton Board of Supervisors Chair Bill Farber. The clear lines ofsight around the lakeshore should allow Slic to use repeatertowers rather than laying cable to move data around thearea.
The North Country Regional Economic DevelopmentCouncil strategic plan estimates a total cost of $4.8 millionto wire up the county.
Slic operates on a business model that doesn't make eco-nomic sense, said Dzwonczyk. The county has had to gowithout for so long because the cost of installing the infor-mation pipelines is simply too much for sparsely populatedplaces like Hamilton County. They make it work throughfederal and state funding, like the economic council grant,he said.
“Six hundred thousand just for the initial installation,”said Dzwonczyk. “You can imagine it's pretty expensive ona per-person basis.”
The grant-funded installation will not only get broadbandinto Long Lake, but Dzwonczyk said they'll boast speedswell above the national average.
“It's more capacity than possibly the whole county canpump through,” he said.
On another rural install, in St. Lawrence County, Slicboasted speed tests on the connection of 105 megabits-per-second. He quantified that as 20 times the national average.
“It's a bit of hyperbole,” said Dzwonczyk.Those speeds will be available to customers willing to pay
a premium price, but the company will also offer more af-fordable connections with lower top speeds for those whodon't need blisteringly fast internet.
Finally getting broadband into Hamilton County won'tgive a competitive advantage when the local Industrial De-velopment Agency tries to attract jobs; it will simply levelthe playing field, said Melious.
“Talk to any economic developer in the country -- they willtell you that broadband access is baseline. Without it, youcan't create jobs,” said Melious. “It's like water, sewer andpower access.”
Second-home owners who visit in the fairer season arelimited by the slow connectivity, said Farber. When the coun-ty gets its big influx of seasonal residents, the internet slowsdown as the traffic ramps up.
If those seasonal residents can't send an extra-large file on-line, or chime in on a video conference, they may have tohead back to bigger cities with bigger internet capacitiessooner. That means they're spending fewer dollars locally,said Farber.
Opening the tap on high-speed access removes a handicapthe county's labored under in the new job market.
“There are people who would like to live where theschools are safe, recreation is readily available and thescenery is breath-taking,” wrote Melious in an e-mail. “Weexpose hundreds of thousands of people to Hamilton Coun-ty as a result of our tourism promotion. Now we can convertsome of those visitors into local business-owners. Withbroadband, these people can be connected globally.”

LAKE PLEASANT — One of only 11 coun-ties of New York's 62 still under 8 percentsales tax, the Hamilton County Board of Su-pervisors would like to move out of that mi-nority and increase revenues to bolster un-derfunded budget lines.
“The reality is that in order to fund statemandates, we've cut back year after year onbudget lines like highway,” said Board ofSupervisors Chair Bill Farber.
Only $85,000 is set aside for highwayequipment for county roads. The approvedhighway equipment funding in the town ofJohnsburg is $80,000, a number that even forthe town was considered low for replace-ment demands.
With 58 bridges to maintain, the countyonly has $75,000 for repairs.
Hoping for a revenue infusion, the boardof supervisors put in a request to the statelegislature to get their sales tax rate over 7percent during the 2011 session, but it did-n't go anywhere.
“Counties have in general buffered tax-payers from state mandates almost to afault,” said Farber.
He said there hasn't been enough pressureto reduce those mandates. With the new,state-wide 2 percent tax cap being imple-mented, those mandates are even more de-manding on the county's resources.
Farber said the board members were hop-ing that public defense expenses or medi-caid costs would be picked up by other gov-
ernment branches, but that hasn't happened.This year's submission to the legislature is
much more detailed than the last, said Far-ber. After they weren't approved, the boardof supervisors assumed that not enough in-formation was provided, so they packed asmuch as they could into the new request.Hopefully, he said, the legislature will un-derstand the gravity of the situation.
The resolution cites cost-cutting measuresthat the county's already undertaken, in-cluding requiring a 20 percent contributionfrom employees for health insurance, a wagestructure that's below the state average,eliminating and combining departments,eliminating staff positions, and developingshared service projects with towns, schoolsand villages.
Counties are dealing with rising costs, notall of them under their own control, saidSen. Betty Little's Communications DirectorDaniel MacEntee.
However, there was not a lot of supportfor raising sales taxes during the last legisla-tive session because of an already high bur-den on New York taxpayers, he said.
The tax question affects business attrac-tion and retention in New York, and can bea delicate issue.
While there's a need for more revenue,taxpayers generally want a lower tax bur-den, said MacEntee.
Little will be working with colleagues inthe Senate and Assembly in the upcomingsession, starting in January, to see if they canmove the request forward.

QUEENSBURY — Six years before Elvisexpired and only two years after man land-ed on the moon, a worker at InternationalPaper Co.’s Ticonderoga mill decided to runfor Hague Town Highway Superintendent.
In a town that is a Republican stronghold,the young man ran as an Independent, andhe beat both a G.O.P and Democratic candi-date.
This November 1971 election started thelong tenure of public service for Dan Belden,who 20 years later became the Supervisor ofthe Town of Hague. His service in this postextends through Dec. 31.
Belden and four other outgoing WarrenCounty supervisors were praised Dec. 16 fortheir service to area citizens. Besides Belden,recognized were Queensbury supervisorsFred Champagne and William VanNess,Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeedand Lake George Supervisor Frank McCoy.
Belden, due to his length of service anddeep knowledge of public works issues, wasin the spotlight at the county meeting, the fi-nal session of the year.
After the meeting, Belden reflected on hiscareer. He said he was proud of his 20 yearsas Hague Superintendent of Highways, up-grading roads and keeping town equipmentin top shape.
Following Richard Bolton as Town Super-visor, Belden pursued an approach of accom-plishing as much as he could while keepingthe budget lean.
To that end, he routinely pursued all thegrant money he could, Belden said Dec. 16.
“I brought in $20 million for the town ofHague citizens,” he said.
In that vein, Belden identified his top ac-complishment during his tenure as develop-ing a sewer system in Hague with federaland state money.
Also a leading accomplishment, he said,was not only building a new town hall in1988, but paying it off not long afterwards.
Projects like these were accomplished
while keeping taxes low, he said, noting thatHague has not levied a town general tax infive years, a tradition that’s to be continuedfor 2012.
But his premier accomplishment, he said,was reaching out to townspeople.
He said that during all his 40 years of pub-lic service, he’d take time to listen to localcitizens’ needs and respond to their con-cerns.
“I always answered questions and re-turned phone calls from day one, and thatwas 24-7 including weekends.”
During his years in office, he ran D.D.Belden Construction, which concentrated ondock construction and home building.
Belden retired from this enterprise aboutsix years ago. In recent years, he’s continued
a property care and monitoring business,opening and closing camps, and he’s takenon light repair work.
Belden said he chose to retire at the closeof 2011 because it coincides with landmarkyear for him. Two months ago, he celebratedhis 50th wedding anniversary.
Following Belden in the Supervisor postwill be Edna Frasier, who has served asHague Deputy Supervisor for four years.
Belden said he looks forward to taking ona more relaxing schedule and spending sometime with his six children and four grand-children, as well as vacationing in north Car-olina.
This spring, he may work time in the con-sulting business, perhaps pursuing grantsfor individuals and organizations, he said.
“I think I’ve done my work for the town,”
he said. “But I’ll be keeping active.”Horicon Supervisor Ralph Bentley said he
and other area citizens wish him well in hisretirement.
“We’re all going to miss his expertise —he’s so knowledgeable about highways andpublic works,” he said.
Warren County Board of SupervisorsChairman Dan Stec said Belden had fordecades worked hard to bring county lead-ers together to achieve progress.
“Dan’s a statesman and consensusbuilder,” he said. “He’s always had the bestinterests of all of Warren County at heart.”
Glens Falls Ward 5 Supervisor WilliamKenny praised retiring Johnsburg Supervi-sor Sterling Goodspeed for his years of serv-ice to his town and Warren County.
“Johnsburg is going to lose a great leader,”Kenny said.
Queensbury at-large Supervisor MatthewSokol praised fellow legislator William Van-Ness, noting his heroic deeds over the yearsin law enforcement, as well as his dedicatedeight years of service. Kenny also paid trib-ute to VanNess.
“Never in the history of this county boardhas anyone had such thorough knowledge oflaw enforcement and public safety than BillVanNess,” he said.
Kenny also praised Lake George Supervi-sor Frank McCoy, saying he’d miss his influ-ence on the county Occupancy Tax Commit-tee.
“No one has a greater love of his commu-nity than Frank, and I admire him.”
McCoy responded by thanking the super-visors and praising county AdministratorPaul Dusek, a Warrensburg native, for hiswork.
“Paul has been doing an outstanding jobleading the county and he’s been very help-ful in keeping me informed.”
Dusek, in turn, praised the retiring group,saying he had been fortunate to work forthem while they were on the board.
“I feel the citizens of the county have beenwell served by the work you put in,” he said.

MINERVA — With one of Essex County's most restrictivepolicies for giving tax breaks to low-income seniors, the Min-erva Town Board could loosen its rules and let more seniorsenroll in a tax-saving program.
Older residents on a strapped budget can apply for a 50percent discount on their municipal taxes through the so-called Senior Citizen Exemption.
Homeowners who are at least 65 years old and have in-comes of $15,000 or less can apply to the town for the exemp-tion. Those approved are billed half of the town tax theywould otherwise pay. This exemption is separate from theNew York State School Tax Relief Program, or STAR, exemp-tion.
Minerva's eligibility cut-off hasn't changed since at least2004. Increasing the income ceiling would lighten the finan-cial burden of more seniors at the bottom of the income scale,but it also would likely decrease town tax revenue or shiftthe tax burden to other homeowners.
More than half of Essex County municipalities, includingthe county itself, offer the state-mandated maximum 50 per-cent senior exemptions to those with incomes of $25,000 orless. Only one town in the county has a lower cut-off thanMinerva's — St. Armand, at $9,000.
Four towns have sliding scales that give tax breaks to sen-iors with incomes as high as $32,400, but the discounts growsmaller as their income approaches the higher ceiling.
Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey said she is re-searching how changes in eligibility would impact thetown's levy. Discussion about a change would occur no ear-lier than January, and a revamp, if approved, would affectfiscal 2013 tax rolls.
The topic of senior exemptions was introduced but not dis-cussed during the Town Board's Dec. 15 meeting, after thecounty sent an annual letter asking if towns had changed thepolicy. There is no indication about what, if any, changesboard members would make to the eligibility policy.

Buckshot Butler and I will be gettingtogether the next couple of week-ends to watch the International Tid-
dlywinks competition on my big screen TV,since it’s getting too painful to watch theNew York Football Giants these days.
Once again, Big Blue’s playoff lives are inthe balance this weekend, when they visitthe Jets – technically, it’s a home game forGang Green. The Iggles/Cowgirls game alsohas big implications.
Frankly, I’m tired of it all! The Giants’ de-fense is horrible this season. Sure, they losthalf their secondary to injuries, but still, theguys they have are professional footballplayers and should be capable of tacklingsomebody before they gain 16 yards…I’mjust saying. Eli has been awesome, but he
can’t be expected to carry every game – es-pecially when he’s hitting his guys in thehands and they can’t hold onto the damnball!!!
Still, I hold out hope they’ll make the play-off and then miracles can happen…
Not much changed at the top of our pick-ing pack this week, with Lucy Hudson,Wade Wnuk, and Sue Ringler making smallmoves while the rest of the leaders settledfor .500 in Week 15. Two weeks to go and it’sstill up for grabs. Linc Marsac and EddieMunoz led the week of upsets with strong11-5 records.
Lots of important games this ChristmasEve, but none more important than the Jer-sey Bowl.
Here’s wishing everyone a safe and hap-py holiday, and may your favorite teambring you a win…unless it’s at team thatcould mess up the Giants’ chances…
GO BIG BLUE!!!

enthusiasts take advantageof the railway’s $70 ski pack-age.
This discounted deal in-cludes lift ticket at GoreMountain, round-trip trans-portation, shuttle service toGore, and two drinks on thetrain, as well as free relax-ation and stunning sceneryduring the excursion — allfor less than an $80 Gore liftticket alone, Ellis said.
The snow trains— namedas such because there’s alsotubing, skating, shoppingand entertainment availablein North Creek — will leavethe Saratoga station at 7 a.m.and return at 6:20 p.m.
“This is not just a ski train— people can get on the trainin Saratoga, have a breakfastmade to order on the train,enjoy the scenery as theytravel to north Creek, thentake advantage of the manyfun activities all winter long— instead of sitting athome,” Ellis said.
Looking ahead, Ellis saidthe railway was expecting toopen the line to Tahawus in2012, with the intention ofhauling mine tailings to beused as aggregate for high-way construction. He saidthat five tons of tailings, orrock material leftover frommining, was available. Muchof the tailings are crushedgranite from Barton Mines.
He also said that the minesin Tahawus and elsewhereon the rail line contain mag-netite, titanium and rareearth elements, that are like-ly to experience increasingdemand in upcoming years.
Ellis predicted that fuelcosts would be increasing to$6 per gallon or higher, andrail transportation of suchmaterials would be evermore competitive, as well ascut down on truck traffic onWarren County roads.
Area economic develop-ment officials have said theyhave had confidential dis-cussions with Iowa Pacificofficials over their freight
plans — and they have beenpublicly enthusiastic aboutprospects for job develop-ment due to Iowa Pacific’saggressive approach to re-vive rail service.
Also, amateur geologistshave estimated that hun-dreds of millions of dollarsworth of minerals could bemined in the area served bythe Tahawus rail line.
Ellis said at the Saratogapress conference that theSaratoga-North Creek Rail-way passenger traffic hasbeen boosted in recentweeks by its smash-hit PolarExpress runs out of SaratogaSprings.
“It’s been wildly success-ful,” he said.
The holiday-themed ex-cursions, named after thePolar Express book andmovie, includes waitersdancing down the train’saisles, a trip to the “NorthPole,” — a trackside villagecreated in a rural area by aset design firm — as well asplenty of holiday music, anda visit by Santa aboard thetrain.
The Polar Express tripshave often filled all the 800available seats, swampedthe Saratoga station beyondits capacity, and requiredshuttling passengers in from
a remote parking lot. The Po-lar Express trips are offerednearly daily through Dec. 8,with 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. de-partures. Reservations areavailable at:www.sncrr.com.
Ellis also said the railwaywas ready to establish addi-tional connections to theRensselaer rail station —and launch commuter serv-ice to Albany if it could bearranged with appropriatesubsidies.
“The demand is there,” El-
lis said. “We want to takepeople off area roads.”
Mike Bowers of barVino inNorth Creek said the rail hasrevitalized commerce inNorth Creek, noting that theCopperfield inn had servedup to 500 meals per weekthis summer, rather thanseveral dozen.
“It’s been like an adrena-line rush,” Bowers said.“There’s real synergy be-tween the railway anddowntown businesses.”

New economic affairs stafferannounced at meetingBy Andy [email protected]
RAY BROOK — The Adirondack ParkAgency Board of Commissioners continuedto hear about the various details regardingthe Adirondack Club and Resort at APAHeadquarters Dec. 15 and 16.
The Agency continued its three consecu-tive monthly meeting cycle to deliberateproject 2005-100, the Adirondack Club andResort, a residential/resort project proposedfor lands in the town of Tupper Lake. TheBoard began its review at the Novembermeeting, and a decision is expected at theconclusion of the Jan. 19-20, 2012 meeting.
Economic affairs staffOn Dec. 15, the Full Agency convened
with remarks from Chairwoman Leilani Ul-rich and Executive Director Terry Martino,who introduced Dan Kelleher as the APA'snew special assistant for economic affairs,replacing Stephen Erman, who retired inSeptember 2010. Kelleher was most recently
the business development manager at theDowntown Albany Business ImprovementDistrict. He joined other APA staffers on theExecutive Team during the Adirondack Cluband Resort review in December and January.
“It’s about time,” remarked Commission-er Art Lussi, of Lake Placid, who is the chair-man of the APA’s Economic Affairs Commit-tee and has been asking the APA for monthsto hire Erman’s replacement.
Meeting topicsAPA commissioners and staff discussed
several issues facing the Adirondack Cluband Resort during the December meeting,including: the proposed PILOT program (taxbreaks for development residents); alterna-tive designs for the project, as proposed dur-ing the adjudicatory hearings; wildlife sur-vey and habitat; Cranberry Pond/TupperLake Reservoir (used to draw water forsnowmaking at the ski area); and use of theski area.
APA Counsel John Banta reminded com-missioners of the key point in regard to theuse of the ski area: The renovation and oper-ation of the ski area will only occur if theproject sponsor believes the residential saleswithin the project justify the investment.
The local group ARISE (Adirondack Resi-dents Intent on Saving Their Economy) willbe operating the Big Tupper Ski Area for thethird season this winter as part of an agree-ment with the project sponsor. Banta made itclear that ARISE's ski area management isnot related to the project.
Commissioners did not get into specificsabout alternative designs for the project thatwere filed during the adjudicatory hearings.They did ask about how to approach the al-ternative designs in regard to their deliber-ations. The short answer is that the alterna-tives are conceptual, not detailed; therefore,they had not gone through the reviewprocess like the project that is currently onthe table from the sponsors.
“You don’t redesign the project at thetable. The suggestions are on the recordnonetheless,” Banta said. “The Agency doeslook at alternatives. It just has a differentprocess of getting there.”
100-mile radius During the Energy Use and Conservation
discussion, commissioners and designeeswere overwhelmingly in support of gettingrid of a condition that required labor andbuilding materials for the Adirondack Club
and Resort to come within a 100-mile radius.The goal is to reduce the carbon footprint ofthe project. While all were in favor of hiringlocal people, most Board members said theprovision should be a discussion pointrather than a condition. Making it a require-ment placed the Agency in a position of en-forcing the 100-mile radius, said Judy Dra-bicki, Department of Environmental Conser-vation designee and DEC Region 6 director.
“I think it's dangerous (to approve condi-tions) that you know from the get-go are un-enforceable,” Drabicki said, adding that thiscondition is merely a “feel-good provision.”
“I think we ought to get rid of it altogeth-er,” said Commissioner Cecil Wray.
About the projectThe applicant — Preserve Associates, LLC
— proposes a planned resort developmenton more than 6,200 acres with a ski center, amarina, an equestrian facility, a gym/sparecreation center, recreation trails, a 60-unitWest Face Inn, and 706 single-family andmultiple-family residential dwelling units:206 single-family dwellings; 39 GreatCamps; eight Artist Cabins; and 453 town-house units (duplexes, triplexes and quad-plexes).
