Hopefully by the time you read this we will have a state budget and it will include an Environmental Trust Fund. If not we have more visiting and

| letter writing to do. On March 22 a group of

'ADKers visited Senator Marino's office in Oyster Bay to speak in favor of such a fund. One of the group was

from Sen. Marino's district which was important. We met with Tim McBride, the legislative aide for conservation and outlined the club's position. I don't know if we made a difference but for myself, it felt good to stand up for my beliefs.

It was suggested that we write to Sen. Stafford for while we are not constituents of his, his district is 43% State Parkland so he does represent our interests. I did write such a letter stating the above and mentioning that an Environmental Trust Fund would help to preserve the park by purchasing land and conservation easements from willing sellers. If you want to write, he can be reached at New York State Senate, Albany N.Y. 12247.

We got a letter from Terry Hastings who is chairperson of the North Rockland Environmental Committee. Clarkstown Supervisor Charles Holbrook (10 Maple Ave. New City, NY 10956) wants to round up 8000 Canadian geese during their molting season when they cannot fly and gas them to avoid goose droppings on park lawns. There must be a better way! She asked that we help her by writing to Mr. Holbrook so when you have finished your letter to Sen. Stafford here is another one.

Thanks to all of you who wrote letters at the March meeting. And thanks to George Thompson and Jenny Kohn for going with me to Sen. Marino's office.

SHERPA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS is the company's full name and the toll-free number is 1-800-621-2277. My initial inquiry was made using Sherpa, Inc. and was told that no toll free number existed. But persistence paid off in getting the correct listing. The best news is this: Sherpa will repair their own snowshoes FOR FREE. I'll be pursuing this at end of our winter conditions and let you know of the results. LARRY BRAUN said he'll be offering an option to buy Sherpa snowshoes at reduced prices through mass-buying with the Albany chapter. Watch for the offering perhaps in the next newsletter! Then hope Mother Nature produces enough precipitation next winter to use your snowshoes. TO PARAPHRASE CONFUCIUS: If every winter

were so snowy, even to snowshoe would be tedious! This way a winter to fill your snowshoeing (As well as x-c skiing) pea-pickin heart to overflowing. Every fall I've started empowerment hikes that promise to have you snowshoeing by that winter. Join the program in September and you, too, will indulge yourself in the glorious feet of mountain snow that can be enjoyed - instead of shoveled. One of my favorite winter outings was on the first day of spring when sun and snow prevailed.

THANKS FOR SO MUCH! JACK GEBEL has been an invaluable aide in setting up publicity in the North Face store, while LARRY BRAUN transported brochures from the main club to be used at Northface and EMS; JEANNE GRAY was gracious enough to donate typing time to complete labels for future publicity communications; CAROL MANTELL was willing to assume leadership of two hikes during the Catskill winter weekend at Valley View - thoughts for next year's Catskill winter weekend are focusing on more options for the rank beginner and some bushwhacks beyond the untrailed peaks. HIGH ACHIEVERS... The Catskill 3500 Club's membership roll now includes a winter member for ALLEN GRUNTHAL, and basic members for ERNIE KRIESE, BILL SWIFT, ROBIN GELLER, DON MANTELL and PAUL LANZILLOTTA. The march blizzard forced Paul to reschedule and complete Friday and Balsam Cap within 24 hours of the annual dinner! Everyone's accomplishment gave 10 others in the L.I. contingent reason to hoot'n holler as they individually stepped forward to accept their certificate.,„JUNE FAIT and HERB COLES have logged hours to complete the Adirondack Challenge, The first in our chapter to Ski/snowshoe, canoe, and hike lesser known trails and waterways. Congratulations to see high achievers.

DINING OUT...Winchell's (on Rt . 28 in the Catskills at the Olivebridge sign) is worth the stop for vegetarian and regular Pizza, Pasta dishes, hearty soups, and sandwiches which we sampled and inhaled after hiking West Kill.

STEPPING STONES (from the Walking Magazine)...THE FOOT STORE offers a complete line of pain-relieving products for foot problems. All can be ordered through the free catalog. Contact: The Foot Store, Box 728, Johns Island, SC 29457; (800-775-FOOT),..A California-based travel company offers an antidote to crowded summer travel: Inexpensive hiking trips that take you far from the crowds. KNAPSAK TOURS (5961 Zinn Dr.,Oakland CA 94611-2655: 518 339 0160) Offers day hikes on a shoestring. In Yosemite you'll take 5 day hikes ($325) with a naturalist, lodge in dorms or MORE ON NEXT PAGE

tents, and dine on hefty meals plus a trail lunch. Hikes of different skill levels and distances are offered. Trips are also offered to the Swiss Alps, the Canadian Rockies, and Olympic National Park in Washington. Check it out for ease of far-away planning. ADIRONDACK BUNKS...The White Sled motel near the Loj road has bunk rooms that combine twin beds and bunk beds at about $15. The cooking of your own breakfast should be a breeze during the week when competition for space is less hectic. I tallied the arrangements in each room; one room actually has two double beds plus a bunk set. Call 518-523-9314 for details. I used the facilities this winter and was surprised to find PAUL and VICKI WOJIK doing the same once we crossed paths skiing at the PAUL SMITHS Interpretive Center. I'm eager to get back to the center in warmer weather; hopefully the birding will be as super as the winter options. There's enough water and forest cover for the wide variety of birds. A.S.

DEC. 12-13 - The tail end of the high-wind-and-tides coastal storm on Friday was still raging as LARRY BRAUN (L), Alan Chevat, and five Knick-Adkers drove up Rt. 17 to beyond Claryville for the Winter Backpack Warmup #2. Fortunately, a 4x4 Bronco was available to ferry the group to the end of the plowed out dirt road. They packed through two-feet of brand new snow as the storm abated and they made up camp under a clearing, star filled sky. Snowshoe technique was demonstrated, and backpacking gear and equipment was discussed throughout the beautiful Sunday morning. All-in-all a fine introduction to the vagaries of winter Backpacking. DEC. 18, - Attending the Paul Winter Solstice Concert at the magnificent Cathedral of St. John the Divine were: Judi Belchick (L), Bob Flyn, Paul Lanzillotta, Jack Gebel, Ernie Kriese, Pat Treacy, Jeanne Polichuk, Cathy Ayres, Herb Coles, June Fait, Maurine & Stan Fox, Marge Tiernie, Kathlene Wright, Walter Bednarczyk and Madeline Rubin. Emblazoned by the pagentry and splendor of the musical performance and energized by the rising sun, the celebration concluded with the Howl-A-Lulia chorus. Dinner was wolfed down at V. & J. Pizzeria, and apres concert moonshine was taken in a small Irish Bistro Continued on page 9

GETTING OUT - Larry Braun Protecting wild lands from development is a tough job

even in rural, out-of-the-way, or mountainous places like the Adirondacks. But it's even more difficult to protect and preserve the little bit of wild lands that is left close to a big city like New York.

So it could only be seen as a major accomplishment of the outdoor community when Storm King Mountain across the Hudson River from Breakneck Ridge was saved, after a fight of over ten years, from being developed as a "pumped storage" power plant by Con Ed 20 years ago. You hike on that magnificent mountain today.because concerned and committed outdoors people, years ago, worked hard to preserve wild lands for the future use of the greater society.

Outdoors people worked hard for 17 years to protect Lake Minnewaska and the surrounding lands in the Shawangunk Mtns from overwhelming development by the Marriott Corporation. The outdoor community went to court to block that development and to get the state to purchase the property as a state park. Because of the hard work done by outdoor people years ago, we now ski and hike on those wonderful carriage roads that would have been locked away from use by public citizens who need wild and open spaces for restorative therapy.

Well, it's time for this generation of outdoors people to go to work to save wild lands from the onslaught of development and to preserve it for the recreational use of some 20 million people in the greater New York metropolitan area.

Sterling Forest is the linchpin in a magnificent greenway, rich with the history of our nation, that connects the Highlands from the Hudson to the Delaware River. It is central to a critical biological corridor for migratory birds and wildlife. Most dramatically, Sterling Forest is a major watershed for more than 25% of New Jersey's population.

The Sterling Forest Corporation's development plans will fragment the forest with 35,000 residents and 8 million square feet of commercial space.

New Jersey has already moved to protect its water supply in the 2,000 acres of Sterling Forest in its state. The 17,500 acres of the forest in New York state still need to be preserved for New Jersey's water shed and for recreational use of present and future generations of outdoor people.

New York-New Jersey Trail Conference has established a special Sterling Forest Defense Fund to support education, public relations, citizen's action, and possible legal action and land purchase. The Trail Conference will be working closely with other hiking and conservation groups in this struggle.

The NY-NJ Trail Conference is the ideal organization to spearhead the protection of the open space character of Sterling Forest. In addition to maintaining over 1,000 miles of trails and managing the Appalachian Trail in two states, and forging many miles of new trails, the Trail Conference has always been deeply committed to protecting endangered trail lands.

Here's how you can help. Become a Trail Conference member and/or contribute to the Sterling Forest Defense Fund by contacting the Trail Conference at 232 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016..- (212) 685-9699. You are one of the outdoors people of Today.

3 Help save some outdoors for yourself and for Future outdoor people.

GRAMPS This is a story of a hike I did three years ago in the Adirondacks. A group of us climbed Marshal, Redfield and Cliff. It was rainy as I hiked into the leanto area. I was freezing and soaking wet from the rain. My teeth were chattering and my fingers and toes numb. With fellow hiker George Form we decided to share cook stoves. I quickly boiled some water and made some hot coffee. This quickly brought me relief from the cold and damp. I felt better! We shared the leanto with a 65 year old veteran hiker from Albany and his two nephews. Gramps would cook gutsy concoctions for the kids and they reluctantly ate it out of .respect for the old man. He would send them on errands to fetch water and wood and infuse his wisdom into their heads deep in the woods away from their mother, for he would teach them MEN things by mere force of will. Bridges he built. He worked for American Bridge building steel bridges. Must have been a dangerous job. He mentioned a 12 year old son who was killed while riding his bike. Sort of shook him up for many years but he got over the grief and now relishes these outings with boys. I asked him that it must be nice to be called Gramps. He said "You know! It's love."

This issue is the first to carry paid advertising from the NORTHFACE Company. Take a drive to exit 56 on Sunrise Hwy. in Bellport and check out the top quality hiking gear the store has to offer. Happy Trails!

G o v e r n o r s ' R e p o r t By L a r r y B r a u n Long Island Governors, Jenny Kohn and Larry Braun, attended a very busy Board of Governors (BOG) meeting in Albany on March 20.

Conservation Committee's Chair Elanor Brown, shepherded several resolutions to affirmation. Among the actions, ADK reaffirm its position opposing logging in and New York State Park when it accepted the Allegany State Park's 1992 Master Plan AFTER modification to allow "Allegany's forest move on to Climax forest through natural selection". The deletion of "a proposed shotgun practice facility within the park" met stiff opposition from some of the governors and was sustained by only four votes after a lively debate on the pros and cons of the gun range inside a state park. ADK also reaffirmed its position against hunting bears with dogs.

Don Bennett, 3rd VP, will study ADK's organization to see if reorganization is advisable. The study will take at least six months.

An issue in which LI-ADK has gotten involved is the schedule to be decided at the next BoG to be held at the LOJ on June 12. The Human Resources Development Committee (HRDC), chaired by Bob Wilcox, has proposed changing the number of members a chapter needs to be eligible for its next governor from the current 225 to 300 in an effort to control the growing size of the BoG. Larry Braun, with the consent and approval of Li's BoD, proposed a 500 increment. Braun presented Wilcox with a table showing how each chapter would be affected by increments of 225,300,400, and 500.

The change to 300 would hardly change the size of the BoG because nearly ten chapters would still be within 100 more members of attaining another governor. In a.few years the BoG size would be again at its present level. A change to a 400 or 500 increment would control the size of the BoG for many years. And at least two other formulas, each based on dividing voting members by number of chapters, have been presented. These should also be looked at by the chapter governors before the issue is decided.

O u t i n g s R e p o r t 1 9 9 2 Below is a list of 216 individuals who joined our club leaders for all REPORTED outings in 1992. These names were

collected from past issues of the MOUNTAINEER as reported by the hike leaders to Jeanne Gray and Delia Costello (our new "Looking Back" editor). Our members continue to be seriously involved in all types of out-door activities including rock scrambling, canoeing, skiing, biking, tubing. Backpacking, camping, birding, & of course, hiking. Without the leadership of 38 individuals who volunteered their time to create those interesting outings, this past year would not have been such a success. Twelve persons led for the first time in 1992, and deserve a special note of commendation for making the "Big Jump". Now wasn't that easy! As in past years, we continue to have a long & varied outings schedule which is a definite credit to the commitment of our members to ADK. Of equal importance is the number of hikes, that members make as a result of the contacts made through the club, that are outside of our schedule. How many times have you & your friends gone back to an area you first discovered through a listed hike from the schedule? By the same token, if you have found that special "gem" of an area, why not share it with the rest of us. Contact the outings coordinator listed in this or future issues. A total of 84 hikes

were reported. H=Hikes joined L= Hikes Led 0.5 = Co-Led Hike

More Loioking Back

JAN. 1-3 - HUNTER, RUSK Mt. Very good weather helped LARRY BRAUN (L). and three Knick ADKers get the new year off to a good start with an enjoyable Catskill backpack. They climbed to Devil's Acre leanto through wind and flumes. After a windy and 5 degree overnight, they climbed South West Hunter and backpacked. over Hunter under a bright blue sky. The wind came up again but it only went to 15F overnight. Dropping their big packs at the Old Hunter Road junction, the group bushwacked a fairly easy mile-and-a-half to Rusk as the wind picked up again. A fine trip with enough snow to keep them on snowshoes for all their travelling. JAN. 9 - BLACKHEAD Mt. Arlene Scholer (L) 'Hie bushwhack of Blackhead was done by two groups. Rich Ehli, Ron Marzyk, Rich Moore, Don Mantell, and Ernie Kriese left Lake Capra trailhead and circled via the east side and succeeded in climbing Blackhead, Black Dome and Thomas Cole. A second group (Ada Busso, Carol Mantell, Dick Furman, Stan Fox, Arlene Scholer (L) took a direct compass reading for Blackhead. Shooting for the exact summit was a mistake. Already severely slowed down by the leader's bum knee, we faced summit cripplebush, rocks and evergreens which forced us to turn back at a pre-determined turn-around tie. Our return route differed enough to have us navigate a stream in which the leader was partially and accidentally immersed. Groups were reunited and good spirits prevailed for those who accomplished three peaks and those who chalked it up to a day of exercise. The leader appreciated their patience.

JAN. 30 - PEEKAMOOSE Fine weather favored the hike to the summit of Pcekamoose. Hie views, shrouded in haze, were obscured from LARRY BRAUN (L), Alan Chevat, Paul Schiff, and three K-ADKers but they had fun on this beautiful and topographically varied trail. Paul and one of the Knickerbockers overnighted at a site a mile from the trailhead. FEB. 6 - CATSKILLS - BALSAM MOUNTAIN Temperatures on the top of Balsam Mountain of 4 degrees didn't phase this group of hikers. We approached from the Rider Hollow side, meeting another LI/ADK group of Herb Coles, June Fait and Paul Lanzillotta who came up from the east side (McKinley Hollow). Crampons were required and snowshoes were almost needed with the completion of this mountain. New members of the 3500 Club are Don Mantell and Ernie Kriese. In addition to these co-leaders, hikers were Carol Mantell and Rich From. CONTINUED ON LAST PAGE

M O R E L O O K I N G BACK

FEB. 12-15 -On the Camp O'Brien weekend a party of six. Lrnie Kriese, George Deitz, his friend Rich, Larry Braun. his spouse Robin, and Rich Moore, who camped-out in the valley, broke trail through 18" of new snow that had fallen overnight and was still showering as they climbed Big Slide an Saturday. The same six teamed up to climb Gothics on Sunday. They were blessed with beautiful clear weather as they made the challenging climb up the wind-packed snow encrusting the cable slide, so they decided to continue breaking trail across Armstrong, and Upper Wolf Jaw. While the route and trail finding through unbroken snow gave them plenty to do, the views from Gothics and Armstrong summits were thrilling and the walk along the dramatic knife-edge of the huge snow cornice leading off Gothics proved to be the biggest highlight of the day. FEB. 27 MOHONK PRESERVE Rich Moore (L). Ernie Kriese, Jack Gebel, KathyAyers, Mike Mainiero, Jeff Ritter and Lester Farquatt. Starting from Trapps Bridge, we skied out to the Mohonk Mountain house. After enjoying a hot lunch next to a warm fire in the "Picnic Lodge", we continued onto Eagle Cliff and returned via a long downhill run on the Laurel Ledge Trail Afterwards, Lester Farquatt treated all to a round of beers at the Mt. Brauhousc. Rosy-cheeked snowbirds in winter plumage. FEB. 28 Dorothy McGarvey (L) Carol Mantell, Dan Grumo, Carol McHugh, Helen Daly. We started at the Alpine Boat Basin, looked into Conrwallis" headquarters and climbed to the top of the Palisades

where we walked along the Long Path stopping at many points to view the skyline of NY across and down the Hudson. Climbed the Women's Federation Tower and lunched on the

turrets. Had to cancel plans to climb back down to the river at Forest View due to ice. Topped off the day with a cup of "mochaccino" at State Line Snack Bar. Saw only a few hawks, but lots of rabbit tracks in the snow. MARCH 6 - WINDHAM HIGH PEAK Allen Grunthal (L) and Paul Lanzillotta hiked Windham High Peak (6.5) Miles via the Elm Ridge Trail and Long Path. Snowshoes were a necessity today due to a foot of freshly fallen snow on top of a base of several feet of snow. The strenuous climb didn't bother the leader though as it was his final peak for the Catskill 3500 Club winter membership. After launching a champagne cork 30 feet in the air, a celebration ensued with pink bubbly, cheese and crackers. And in the proper spirit of things, the leader replaced the water bottle on his hip belt with the half empty champagne bottle and consumed the remainder as he effortlessly glided (Stumbled?) down the mountain.
