IT’S CARNIVAL TIME

QUEENSBURY — Warren Countymade substantial progress in balanc-ing its budget and developing itstourism infrastructure despite ever-greater financial pressures, thecounty’s political chief said Thurs-

day Jan. 5.County Boar d of Supervisors

Chairman Dan Stec praised theboard members for their actions inlimiting the 2012 tax incr ease to 1.7percent while doubling the county’sfinancial r eserves to $7.1 million.His comments were made during theannual State of the County messagedelivered at the yearly organization-al meeting.

“2010 brought improvements over2009 in the county’s overall financialhealth, and 2011 saw this improvingtrend continue substantially ,” hesaid.

This frugal budgeting both in 2010and 2011 — with the smallest tax in-creases in the last 20 years — was ac-complished in two of the worst yearsfor sales and mortgage tax revenueand slashed state aid, he said.

This trend of budget containmentwas likely not sustainable in the fu-ture, Stec said, considering that thestate continues to mandate mor ecostly programs while they are im-posing a 2 percent property tax cap.

“Meaningful mandate r elief is amust,” he said.

Stec also cited a long list oftourism-related accomplishments,

NEWCOMB — With envi-ronmental groups airingtheir concerns about r e-opening the rail line toTahawus, Newcomb Super-visor George Canon and theNorth Country Chamber ofCommerce have chimed inwith letters supporting theline.

Canon was very critical ofProtect! the Adirondacks op-position to moving fr eightalong the old T ahawus railline. The envir onmentalgroup has been lobbying tothe Surface T ransportationBoard against opening thetracks into the former Na-tional Lead mine.

The Saratoga-North CreekRailway, following a suc-cessful launch of passengerservice, is looking to startfreight operations in thearea. Freight’s b een part ofthe railway’s plans for prof-itable operation since theysigned up to r un their serv-ice.

Canon said he wants tomake sure the board is hear-ing from more than just Pro-tect! the Adirondacks.

“It's economic develop-ment in the park, we can'thave that,” Canon said sar-castically.

Though his town govern-ment isn't in the loop on raildevelopment locally, anynew developments in the481-citizen town ar e wel-come, said Canon.

Outgoing supervisor excited about post-political futureBy John [email protected]

NORTH CREEK — As the son of a multi-decade Johnsburgtown supervisor, Sterling Goodspeed's proud of his accom-plishments in office, though he said he's not going to be en-tering the political arena again, as long as his lady has any-thing to say about it.

“I owe my wife some serious time,” the outgoing Johns-burg town supervisor said. “She’s assured me that if I runagain, it will be with my second wife.”

Along with more time with his family, he'll be enjoyingrounds at the golf course, wher e he said his game neverseems to improve. But most of all, he'll be turning his focusto his private practice in his Main Street office.

“The best part of being a lawyer is practicing in a smallcommunity w here y ou k now a l ot o f p eople,” s aid Go od-speed.

Practicing in a small town means operating within smallmeans. Goodspeed noted that mor e than 20 per cent of therural population is below the poverty line, and it's difficultto build a practice that's both professionally and financiallyrewarding.

“If you're in it for the money , you’ve come to the wr ongplace,” he said.

Goodspeed thinks he made it work, though. The people heknew as a child and teenager are now coming to him, and hecan give them meaningful advice and assistance. The conti-nuity of being part of a community through a lifetime makeshis work rewarding, he said.

Early lifeEspecially rewarding is being an important member of the

community Goodspeed gr ew up in. He was born in GlensFalls Hospital in 1962, and his parents brought him home toNorth Creek. He can trace his local lineage to his grandfa-ther's grandfather, Gideon, who fought in the Civil War and

was eventually buried at the Union Cemetery. He got to tap into some early r egional history as a youth

in what he called the best job ever — a colonial tour guideat Fort William Henry in Lake George. For three summers ina row he fir ed guns, loaded cannon and wowed visitors atthe historic fort.

His mother was fr om Fagan’s Flats in Indian Lake, andGoodspeed said her family was among the founders of thattown. His father was a baker at Smith’s r estaurant, still inoperation on Main Street. His parents met during his father'sbread deliveries.

After Goodspeed graduated Johnsburg Central in 1980, hemoved on to St. Lawrence University, eventually earning hisjuris doctorate at Albany Law in 1987.

His wife, Susan, operated the News Enterprise for awhile,and Sterling was able to pursue an inter est he’d held sincehe was an undergrad, working for the papers. She did a cou-ple free issues on skiing, and he wrote historical articles forher.

“It was nice, r elaxing work compar ed to the pr osecutingwork I was doing in Lake George,” he said.

Town politicsAfter Goodspeed served as Warren County district attor-

ney and later as a public defender, previous Town Supervi-sor Bill Thomas convinced him to enter a town council race.Thomas and Goodspeed shar ed visions of train service toNorth Creek and creating an interconnect from Ski Bowl toGore Mountain.

The town has worked to build from its heritage and envi-ronmental r esources instead of looking to chains and boxstores to build business. Goodspeed said that's been key tothe town's successes.

“I think we’re a shining star in the park; we’re an exam-ple to other communities,” he said.

That shining star status didn't come without challenges,ones the community is still contending with.

When Goodspeed first took office as a councilman, his ed-ucation in law and experience as a supervisor's son helpedease him into the seat.

“I felt very oriented to the position, but there was one verymassive surprise,” he said.

That was FrontStreet, which was in an early phase of tak-ing ownership of the Ski Bowl. Goodspeed didn’t r ealizehow embr oiled the town boar d would be in the develop-ment. With dozens of r evisions to a their complex plan, itwas a trial for the council to ensure they were protecting thetown's interests with every revision.

“There have been developers who say , ‘It’s Johnsbur g,we’re gonna roll right over them,’” Goodspeed said.

But as a councilman and a supervisor, he feels he was in agood position to insulate the community from the impact ofthe large project.

FrontStreet was a unique opportunity to enhance the taxbase. It was also one of the best places to play captur e-the-flag when Goodspeed was a kid, so there’s a sense of some-thing lost. But gaining the interconnect was a proud momentfor Goodspeed and a great step for skiing in Johnsburg.

The other big moment for Goodspeed was signing Iowa-Pacific Holdings to bring their rail operations to town. Thecontract usher ed the r eturn of the snow train with whatGoodspeed called a superior operator who’s investing in theregion and has changed the face of Main Street.

“Some time in the future, people will look back at the im-pact of the rail and mark it as a starting point for revitaliza-tion in the area,” he said.

Part of that pride is rooted in the difficulties of getting thetrain running again.

“Two years ago, if you said train, it was the poster childof bad government. The Post-Star called it a train tonowhere; I was really offended,” Goodspeed said.

At the county center, when he’d walk down the hall, he’dhear people behind him say, “choo-choo.”

But that test of being beat up day in and day out for thethings he believed in was formative, and he and others help-ing bring the train to town were able to survive what Good-speed called an endurance contest to re-open the rails.

Leaving office“It was pretty weird getting up in the morning and not be-

ing the supervisor,” after four years, Goodspeed said.He'd like to think that people were generally satisfied, that

they feel Sterling was the right person to deal withFrontStreet, to finish the interconnect, to help find a goodoperator for the train.

“It’s hard to know what expectations are until you’re con-fronted with what the challenges are,” he said.

He remembered the first year he lowered taxes, somebodycame to his of fice and pounded on his desk insisting heshould raise taxes. Now that he doesn't have to worry abouttown business, he'll be working on his car eer as an adjunctat Newcomb Central instructing criminal justice classes.

“I’m not sure of all the future holds, but I think it’s reallygood.”

Long Lake Town Boardshares services to save

LONG LAKE — Renewing town service sharing agr ee-ments is just good business for Long Lake and its neigh-boring communities, said Town Supervisor Clark Seaman.

They've historically had shared service agreements withNewcomb, Inlet and Indian Lake, he said. W ith thoseagreements in place, they'll shar e work crews and equip-ment when a local project needs doing.

If Newcomb could use assistance on a blacktop job, thenLong Lake will happily send over a tr uck, as long as it'snot busy. And if later in the season, Long Lake could usehelp, too, “that's at no cost to us,” said Seaman.

Long Lake will lend its cr oss-country ski-trail makingequipment to Newcomb. It's just dragged behind a tractorto groom the trails, but if it's not busy working for LongLake then Newcomb's welcome to it, said Seaman.

That congenial attitude does r equire board action, butit's a good-neighbor outlook that helps both small govern-ments save a little money for their citizens.

“Can we save the taxpayers money? That's the bottomline,” said Seaman.

NEWCOMB — Historic Gr eat Camp Santanoni will beopen for three special long weekends this winter.

Over these weekends, cr oss-country skiers and snow-shoers will be able to visit the Gate Lodge and Main Lodge,get short interpretive tours with Adirondack ArchitecturalHeritage staff, and warm up at the Artist’s Studio before thereturn trip.

“People will have sort of a warm place to arrive at whenone skis or snowshoes into the camp,” said Newcomb TownSupervisor George Canon.

These open house weekends will be Jan. 14-16, Feb. 18-20, and March 17-18.

“We'll see how it goes. It's kind of an experimental thing,”said Canon.

Camp Santanoni is a popular Adirondack cross-countryski destination, and for good r eason. The snow conditionsare usually excellent, the trip itself is of only moderate in-tensity, and the historic camp on its remote lakeside settingmakes for an interesting and most beautiful destination.

The round-trip cross-country ski and snowshoe trip is 9.8miles on a gently sloping carriage r oad. People may visitSantanoni 365 days a year, but these weekends are rare op-portunities to visit the camp in winter, have a brief tour, andhave a place to warm up.

As 2012 snow conditions have been light, it is best tocheck in advance to make sur e the road is suitable for ski-ing. Reservations are not required. For information, contact

Adirondack Architectural Heritage at 518-834-9328Camp Santanoni was built beginning in 1892 by Robert

and Anna Pruyn and eventually consisted of more than fourdozen buildings on 12,900 acres including a working farm,Gate Lodge complex, and a huge rustic Main Lodge and oth-er camp buildings on Newcomb Lake.

Over the last several decades, in state ownership, it hasgradually been restored by a partnership between NYSDEC,AARCH, and the Town of Newcomb. Santanoni is listed onthe National Register of Historic Places and is a NationalHistoric Landmark.

News Enterprise Editorial

The quarrel over re-opening the railline to Tahawus is driven by anot-in-my-backyard protest from

the environmental groups, contends theSaratoga-North Creek Railway (SNCRR)lawyer in filings to a rail regulation board.

The 6-million-acre Adirondack Parkheld in forever wild trust, but more thanhalf the land inside the Blue Line is stillprivate. It's a place where nature and peo-ple coexist. People don't dominate thelandscape, and the landscape shouldn'tdominate the people.

Though the tracks running out to the re-mote, high-peak wilderness in Newcombhave been quiet since 1989, that's not sodistant in the memory of people who'vespent their lives in the region. NewcombSupervisor George Canon was featured inan article from the Adirondack ParkAgency when the state purchased thou-sands of Tahawus acres in 2003, where heremembered a childhood in the companytown at the mine. Canon, who also workedat the mine, has sent a letter of support forSNCRR, calling the redevelopment of therail crucial to the economic future of his500-citizen township.

The North Country Chamber of Com-merce, which spearheaded the proposalfor competitive granting in the New YorkOpen For Business campaign, earning $103million in grants for regional projects,tossed its hat in the ring early this monthwith a letter of support for the rail. Presi-dent Garry Douglas said rail preservationand development is a necessary part of theregion's future.

The easement for the rail line is activeuntil 2062. The state DEC worried that therail runs over 13 miles of the Vander-whacker Wild Forest. So does 28N, a well-traveled road that connects the centers ofall the local communities, and is driven bymany passenger vehicles, large recreation-al vehicles, logging trucks and other heavyequipment. It's already a people-frequent-ed area.

As asserted by SNCRR's lawyer, reopen-ing the line would alleviate some of theheavy equipment traffic from the road-ways. National Lead still hauls 30,000 tonsof screened rock for construction and 3,000tons of magnetite from the old mine siteevery year.

Taking that volume of stone off theroads and putting in on the unused railline would give SNCRR a dependableplace to launch their freight interests, animportant part of their business model.

And, it is better for the environment.In the early-to-mid 19th century, and

again in the mid-to-late 20th century, theopen mines bustled with activity, produc-ing high-quality ore and good jobs. Thetowns where operations were housed,Adirondac and Tahawus, are now onlyskeletons of their former selves, but stillserve as attractions for tourism. Economicdevelopment can encourage interest in na-ture.

The mines still hold a rich deposit ofore. Monetizing that ore may be difficult,but more efficient removal from the deepwild is key to ensuring its success. A simi-lar problem with the cost of productionkept Russian oil, much of it locked in tarsands, from being a viable businessprospect. Once refining methods improvedand demand grew, Russia became a majorexporter of oil.

If the National Lead mine could be re-opened, it would need a reliable, cheapway to get the ore out. Shipping mine tail-ings out with SNCRR could be a precursorof much greater things to come.

The environmental groups should notimpede that progress.

This editorial is the collaborative opin-ion of a board comprised of Thom Randall,Fred Herbst, Lou V arricchio, Keith Lob-dell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn andJohn Gereau. Comments may be directed [email protected].

Re-open the railto National Lead Idon’t know how you

feel about how SuperPolitical Action Com-

mittees (PACs) will influ-ence the presidential elec-tion, but I can see nothingbut trouble coming fromthem.

In the last few weeks,PACs have begun spendingthe tremendous amount offunds they’ve amassedstrictly for the purpose ofrunning interference for onecandidate or another. The groups arespending millions of dollars to help theircandidate of choice overcome the gains ofopposing candidates who may be gainingtraction.

The new super PACs have been createdfrom a series of federal court rulings, in-cluding the Supreme Court's CitizensUnited case in 2010 that removed restric-tions on corporate and union spending inelections. The groups can't coordinate di-rectly with campaigns but many of themare staffed by longtime supporters of thecandidates this election cycle. The superPACs are not subject to the $2,500 cap ondonations to a candidate’s campaign, anda few super PACs have reportedly alreadyaccepted individual contributions of over$1 million.

As a result, campaign-finance watch-dogs have assailed the rulings as a dan-gerous return to the pre-Watergate era.The filing changes also have the effect ofshielding donors until a time when manycandidates affected by their negative ad-vertising have likely dropped out of therace. Providing cover for a candidatewhile the super PACs go on a “seek anddestroy” mission to neutralize competingcandidates is the slick new way thesegroups avoid election transparency. And,of course, every candidate and elected of-ficial will tell you transparency in govern-ment is one of their highest priorities.

The super PACs, for their part, claim tobe doing nothing illegal, following estab-lished law and exercising their free-speechrights. The new rules take political spin-ning to an entirely new level and justthink, during the primaries these are allies

slugging it out. Imagine howvicious it’s going to get laterthis year when it’s Republi-can against Democrat, twosides you know will neverkiss and make up.

We expect our elected offi-cials to be individuals ofhigh principles — the bestand brightest, but their cre-ation of the super PAC’sonce again speaks to theirtrue intentions. Where cam-paign contributions aretightly controlled by federal

election laws, there is no bottom line forPACs as the folks running them can dowhatever they want with the funds raised.Legally, spending responsibilities rest withthe group’s treasurer, who reports to whoever is ultimately controlling the superPAC. While candidates are prohibitedfrom using campaign money for their per-sonal expenses, there’s no such restrictionfor these PACs.

The Federal Election Commission,which regulates campaign money, has re-peatedly asked Congress to amend the lawto prohibit PACs from spending donationson non-political expenses. Lawmakers,who often use political contributions forpersonal expenses through vehicles knownas leadership PACs, haven’t followedthrough on the request. And why shouldthey when we allow them to conduct theiraffairs in this manner?

It’s not gang warfare, but I have a verybad feeling that by the time we hit Elec-tion Day in November the airwaves willresemble something akin to it, as thegloves come off. Of course, those behindthe PACs will expect their interests to berewarded. I always find it so amazing thatthese elected officials, who seem so gen-uine and sincere when campaigning andasking for your vote, can condone suchtactics, but like it or not this is the waybig-time politics are played and will con-tinue to be until we let them know we’vehad enough.

Are we there yet? I know I am.

Viewpoint

December 2011 continued wher e November left of f, withmild temperatures and below normal precipitation, espe-cially with a noticeable lack of snow . Winter sports have

had a difficult time with little snow and warm temperatures, virtu-ally eliminating snowmobiling and cr oss country skiing. Downhillskiing has been able to make snow, although not as much as possi-ble without the cold temperatures. Christmas was just barely whitewith only a trace of snow on the ground here in Riparius.

The average high temperatur e was 35.7 degr ees and the averagelow was 21 degr ees giving us an average temperatur e of 28.3 de-grees, 4.2 degrees warmer than normal and the seventh warmest onrecord. The warmest December was in 2006, when the average was31.5 degrees. The coldest was in 1989 when the average was a bone-chilling 8 degr ees. That year ther e wer e 19 days with below zer oreadings compared to this year with none. Our average is three. Thehighest temperature, 45 degr ees, was r ecorded on the 4th and 5th.The lowest temperature, 5 degrees, was recorded on the 18th and the

29th. Ther e wer e 1137 degr ee days bringing our seasonal total to2761.

Melted pr ecipitation for the month was 2.51 inches, 0.69 inchesbelow normal. It was the second month in a row with below normalprecipitation and only the third month of the year with below nor-mal melted pr ecipitation. This brings our seasonal total to 55.31inches, 12.41 inches above normal and the second most on r ecord.The wettest year was in 1990 when 55.44 inches was measur ed andthe driest year was in 1988 when only 31.76 inches fell. Precipitationwas measured on 14 days with the most, 0.93 inches, falling on the27th. There was measurable precipitation on 14 days.

Snowfall was scant as only 4.1 inches was measur ed, 12.2 inchesbelow normal. The snowiest December was in 2008 when 42 inchesfell and the least snowiest was in 2006 when only 3.3 inches fell. Lastyear there was only 3.5 inches measured. This was not an unprece-dented event as other Decembers have had very little snow her e inthe North Country. Many can r emember the 1980 Winter Olympicswhen there was very little snow, so little that snow had to be madeand spread on the cr oss country courses at Mt. V an Hoevenberg.Our seasonal total is now 14.6 inches with most of that coming inone storm in November which has long since melted away.

The river reached its highest level, 5.74 feet, on the 1st and its low-est level, 4.01 feet, on the 14th.

We as a community ar e sad-dened by the deaths ofHarold Meade and W illie

Waldron, who lost their battles with can-cer. Also the death of Leah Sumner, a longtime r esident of Bakers Mills. And, Ed-ward Woodward and Rev. Edwin Seaman.

The Pentecostal Holiness AssociationChurch was taken down on Satur day.There are so many memories for many inthe community and even more related toRev. Bessie Rist Call Carlsen and Rev .Hester Rist Dlaba Capwill. Will Merrill’sbuilt the building in the 1800s near a storehe owned. There were mivies and dancesheld there. It was a community buildinguntil Luke Rist started using as a chur chgetting it from Will Merrill's. There havebeen so many ministers over the years.The church was in a great need for repairso needed to be down. It will be good tosee the other small building come to gooduse. I would love to receive via snail mailany thoughts.

Megan Nevins is home for vacationfrom college in Potsdam. She is on thedean's list with a 3.4 average.

Some years ago ther e was a popu-lar book called “The Sisterhood ofthe Traveling Pants.” Not having

read it, I know nothing about that Sister-hood, but I have r eason to believe thatthey have formed a branch in my attic.

At the risk of sounding paranoid, Ithink some of my tr ousers have joinedthis secr et sor ority. Oh, I don’t believethat they have traveled very far . They’rewannabe armchair travelers, accidentaltourists, just taking a staycation.

You see, last year I packed up my of f-season clothes, and my husband stowedthe boxes in the attic. When the time cameto retrieve them, some of my pants wer emissing. They had gone AWOL.

Why, you ask, would they hide away insome far corner of the attic? Maybe theyneeded a rest, some well deserved R & R.Perhaps they felt sat upon, that theirseams were about to burst, and they justcouldn’t take it any longer.

They’ll pr obably turn up this spring.But — her e’s the pr oblem. I can guaran-tee that they’ll be smaller . My theory isthat ther e’s something about spendinglong periods of time in a hot attic thatshrinks their fibers.

It has happened before. Clothes that re-mained in the attic for two or three yearsno longer fit when finally located. It is aconspiracy. “The Conspiracy of the Trav-eling Pants.” I should write a book!

ELIZABETHTOWN — The top con-tender fr om the 201 1 Donegal Bear dContest isn't going to let his hair -wontrophy slip away this St. Patty's Day.

Dan Meehan, r eigning chin-curtainchamp, is currently working as a press-man a t D enton P ublications i n E liza-bethtown. Denton is a publisher of lo-cal weeklies in the North Country , in-cluding the News Enterprise.

With his cheeks alr eady dark withlush growth following his New Year ’sDay preparatory shave for the contest,Meehan has an obvious talent forbeardy pursuits.

“I don't know if it's a gift or a curse,”he said of his fast-growing facial hair.

Meehan’s been able to gr ow a fullbeard since he was about 15, hesaid. With a name like Meehan,his Irish ancestry is withoutquestion. But he said he alsohas forbears fr om Germanyand the Ukraine, wintrylandscapes wher e hairy-faced men wer e better pr e-pared for the weather thanwispy-whiskered peers. Thispotent genetic combina-tion makes his five o'-clock shadowshow by quarter-to-three.

He’s exper-imented

with dif ferent facial hair styles, butsaid, “I'm not too fond on a mustache,”which makes the contest beard ideal tohis tastes. In getting ready for the 2011competition, though, he had to dealwith some funny looks and questionsfrom co-workers on why he looked likea stereotypical Amish man.

The chin-curtain beard, also called aDonegal, is cultivated along the jawline and completely covers the chin butnot the lip. It’s also knows as a Lincoln,for the iconic pr esident who, legendsays, grew it in response to an 11-year-old girl’s fan letter suggesting his uglyface could use some obfuscating.

Meehan said a historically accurateDonegal is a good start, but if you real-ly want to be noticed by the judges youneed get into the spirit of the day.

“If you just come with the beard andyou're not dr essed up, that's plain,”

he said. “Do the full get-up andget into it.”

Last year, he wore a kilt andwool socks and a St. Patty'sDay hat. A lepr echaun shirt

completed the outfit whilehe str uck a Fighting Irishpose straight fr om the

Notre Dame football uni-form. He plans to scor e big on

style again this year, thoughhe’s car efully guar d-

ing his game plan.Style is one of

five judgingcategories in-

cluding length, fullness, manliness andsophistication.

Though his natural talent won him abottle of Bushmills Irish Whiskey lastyear, Meehan said maintaining the fast-growing facial hair is mor e grief thanjoy.

“Honestly, if I had the money I'd getelectrolysis so I'd never have to shaveagain,” he said. “I hate shaving.”

If r eaders ar e confident enough intheir beard-growing, the contest will beheld from 4 to 7 p.m., Mar ch 17 — St.Patty’s Day — at Basil & W ick’s onRoute 28 in North Cr eek. Judging willbe begin at 6 p.m., and prizes will beawarded. Live entertainment isplanned for the event.

Tahawus railfrom page 1

Canon lived in T ahawus as a youth, when his fatherworked at the mine's mill as an operator. Canon worked forNL Industries there for 30 years, mostly as a computer pro-grammer. His son worked at the mine briefly, making the to-tal thr ee successive generations of Canons who worked atthe mine.

When Canon worked there, the mine had a payroll of about500 e mployees, a s l arge a s t he t own's c urrent p opulation.People c ame f rom No rth C reek, Tupper L ake, L ong L ake,Pottersville, “Basically every town in the ar ea had at leastsome people working at the site,” said Canon.

“I'm not anticipating that anything like that is in thecards,” he said. But even two, five or 10 jobs are very impor-tant to the small community, he noted.

North Country Chamber of Commer ce Pr esident GarryDouglas also chimed in at the board with a letter of support,citing his regional economic development council's strategicplan that called for pr eserving and developing rail assetsacross the North Country.

“Rail is coming back,” said Douglas. “Rail is green. Rail isefficient. Rail is a major attraction for tourism as the peoplein North Creek have seen.”

His office firmly believes that without transportation, eco-nomic development efforts will fall flat. That's been centralto their efforts at the Plattsburgh International Airport.

“If you look thr ough human history, zones of pr osperityrise and fall in alignment with shifts in movement,” saidDouglas.

The rail line to Tahawus has sat unused for two decades,

but it's been preserved and was even held by the Essex Coun-ty Industrial Development Agency to shelter NL Industriesfrom tax costs that could have made owning the rail rights aburden. Opportunity now exists because the rail wasn't tornapart, said Douglas.

Protests fr om Pr otect! have hinder ed Saratoga-NorthCreek Railway's efforts to establish a freight line heading toNewcomb and hopefully encompass customers beyond NLIndustries Tahawus site. Their primary business ther e nowis shipping 30,000 tons of scr eened r ock and 3,000 tons ofmagnetite from the site, currently by truck.

As gas prices rise, said Douglas, it's important for localfreight to be insulated fr om those costs. The mor e efficientrail engines are an important answer, especially in the trans-portation-deficient Adirondack Park.

“There's no place that's less blessed in transportation thanthe Adirondacks, that makes what they do have even morevaluable,” said Douglas.

“Saying it shouldn't be used is simply bizarr e,” he said.“Maybe we'll eradicate just a little bit of the poverty that toomany interests always saying no seem to forget about.”

In addition to Pr otects! concerns, the state's Departmentof Environmental Conservation's Robert Davies, director ofthe department's Division of Lands and For ests expr essedconcern over legal issues to the r egulatory boar d. A DECspokesperson said the or ganization has no of ficial stance,and did not cite any specific legal issues, saying they're un-der review.

In addition to getting the Essex County Board of Supervi-sors to submit another letter, Canon's hoping to convince theAdirondack Association of T owns and V illages, the Inter-county Legislative Committee and the Adirondack Park Lo-cal Government review board to join in support of the rail.

County Supervisor-at-large Dave Straineris now the leader of the Community CollegeCommittee, taking over from county super-visor Fred Champagne of Queensbury, whoretired Dec. 31. Champagne was hailed forhis 18 years of service at the Jan. 5 meeting.

With the elimination of the county Plan-ning Department, the county Planning &Community Development Committee wasscrapped, and its functions were consolidat-ed with the Economic Gr owth & Develop-ment Committee, chair ed by Glens FallsWard 3 Supervisor Bud Taylor.

Appointments were also made as followsto supervisors in northern Warren County:

which included signing railway lease contracts with Iowa PacificHoldings, which launched the Saratoga-North Creek Railway. Thisnew passenger rail service has enjoyed substantial success so farand is alr eady sparking a r evival in North Cr eek’s economy, hesaid. The railway is also moving forwar d on its aim of pr ovidingfreight service that is expected to spur industry and cr eate jobs,Stec added.

“The prospect of freight service and economic development op-portunity both south and north of our county boundaries holdgreat potential for not only W arren County but also northernSaratoga and Essex counties,” he said.

Stec also praised county leaders for successfully negotiatingwith the state to substantially reduce its leasing fees for Americademotorcycle rally’s week-long use of Million Dollar Beach parkinglot. The stif f charges they sought had thr eatened to chase Ameri-cade out of state, causing the loss of $42 million or more in revenueto area businesses, he said.

Stec also hailed the consolidation of emer gency and police dis-patch services during 2011 with the city of Glens Falls. Such inter-municipal cooperation will provide financial benefits for both thecity and county, he said.

Progress on the environment and county infrastructure was alsonoted by Stec.

He cited the pr ogress on development of the W est Brook Envi-ronmental Park, which included demolition of the former GaslightVillage buildings as well as securing funding and developing plansfor the park. West Brook park is envisioned as a promising touristattraction while accomplishing its primary aim of reducing pollu-tion of Lake Geor ge by filtering stormwater thr ough engineer edwetlands.

He also praised the county’s decision to commit funds to com-bat the invasive Asian clams in Lake Geor ge, as well as enactingNew York State’s first invasive species law in 2011.

Stec also hailed county workers for their dedication and r e-sourcefulness in responding to the storms on Memorial Day week-end as well as Tropical Storm Irene, which devastated property, in-frastructure and roadways, particularly in the town of Thurman.

He also mentioned the completion of the Main St. reconstructionproject, which included str eetscaping, new sewer and under-ground utility infrastr ucture, plus r ebuilding the r oad with anadded third lane.

He also talked of how the county had reached the end of the ex-pensive trash burn plant contracts, and were able to reap some in-come from the sale of the plant.

Stec concluded that frugal and appropriate allocation of financeswould be the county’s main focus for 2012.

“We’ve done much solid work in 201 1 in very dif ficult times,”Stec said. “With the help of the tremendous county workforce, I’mconfident that we will continue to improve Warren County govern-ment.”

TICONDEROGA — Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s state of thestate address offered little for North Country residents.

The governor outlined a new economic development blue-print that invests billions of dollars in public-private sectorpartnerships and plans to rebuild infrastructure as a meansof cr eating new jobs acr oss the state during his hour -longspeech Jan. 4, but did not present any initiatives specifical-ly for the region.

Cuomo only mentioned the Adirondacks twice — oncewhen announcing a second round of Regional Economic De-velopment Awards and again when discussing the “NewYork’s Open for Business” tourism promotion effort.

A highlight of the speech for many local officials was a callfor mandate relief. Noting the success of the 2-percent prop-erty tax cap passed by the state legislature last year, Cuomosaid the next step is for the state to aid local governments byending many costly mandates.

The governor said he will appoint a commission to holdhearings ar ound the state and study mandate r elief. Heasked the commission to r eport to the state legislatur e intime for action before the end of 2012.

“We’ve been lobbying for mandate relief for a long time,”said Randy Douglas of Jay , chairman of the Essex CountyBoard of Supervisors. “Medicaid alone costs $6-7 million inEssex County. Forty eight other states have taken Medicaidcosts away fr om counties. It’s time for New York to do thesame.”

Douglas, who attended the speech at the invitation of thegovernor, said he will ask the Cuomo to schedule a mandaterelief commission meeting in Essex County.

State Sen. Betty Little was pleased the governor is seriousabut mandate relief.

“I expect to see a gr eater focus this year on mandate r e-lief, she said. “There were a lot of ideas put on the table fordiscussion, but not much acted upon last session. Behindevery mandate is a special inter est and many of them ar elaudable. But some are not needed, or are unaffordable orsimply not appropriate for all r egions of the state. The taxcap has created an urgency to act and find agreement on re-lief measures that will pr ovide our local governments andschools the flexibility they need.”

Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward agrees.“I was encouraged to hear his commitment to delivering

on the unfilled pr omise of mandate r elief for our countiesand schools and also regulatory relief for our NYS business-es,” she said.

Cuomo also talked about the damage resulting from Hur-ricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. He praised volunteerswho r esponded to the emer gencies and touted the state’smulti-million response.

“I’m glad he mentioned flood relief,” said Douglas, whosecounty and town were hard hit by Irene. “The governor andhis staff have been extr emely helpful as we r ecover. I can’tsay enough, but we need grant funding to fully r ecover —not loans. We need major work on our roads, bridges, water,sewer, youth facilities...and we’r e in debt. W e can’t af fordmore loans. We need grant money.”

Other highlights of the speech include a call to build theworld’s largest convention center hotel at a New York Cityracetrack; a push to expand gambling in a bid for more statetax r evenue and jobs; and a pr oject to r eplace 100 bridgesand repair 2,000 miles of roads.

Little believes the proposed road work is a good idea.

“I like the governor ’s ideas to invest in r oad and bridgeinfrastructure as well as ener gy use and transmission andlook forwar d to mor e detail in the budget pr oposal,” shesaid. “These are worthwhile investments that will create eco-nomic activity today while building for the futur e. And, Iam eager to learn more about increasing tourism promotion,which will benefit the North Country and all of New York.”

Sayward said the governor ’s speech was encouraging.“Because of actions taken last year , New York State is

stronger and beginning to head in the right dir ection,” shesaid. “The governor ’s addr ess gives us an opportunity tobuild on the successes of last year . His message was clearNew York State needs jobs, jobs, jobs! I was impressed at thegovernor ’s focus on rebuilding New York’s economy, jump-starting economic development and focusing on private, notpublic sector jobs. With the recognition of the North Coun-try’s Regional Economic Development Award we will beable to create jobs right here in the district.

“If we can realize even some of the governor ’s goals thisyear we will have taken a giant step forward in delivering arobust economy and a mor e open, less intr usive state gov-ernment,” Sayward said.

The governor spent much of his speech touting the accom-plishments of state government in 201 1 — the pr operty taxcap, ethics reform, gay marriage, a middle class tax cut andmore.

“By all accounts, last year was a tr emendous success,”Cuomo said. “Ther e ar e many r easons why, including onesimple one: We changed our attitude. We had a constructiveimpatience for government dysfunction and a disregard forthe political extremists on the left and the right, we believedin the people, and we had a mutual respect, both institution-al and personal.

...if a stranger tried to abduct them? ...if a stranger tried to abduct them?

Speak to your children in a manner that is calm and non-threatening. Children do not need to be frightened to get the point across. In fact, fear can thwart the safety message, because fear can be paralyzing to a child.

Speak openly. Children will be less likely to come to you about issues shrouded in secrecy. If they feel that you are comfortable discussing the subject at hand, they may be more forthcoming.

Teach your child his or her full name, address, telephone number (including area code), and how to dial “911” for help or “0” for operator.

Adults rarely ask children for directions or help. Teach your child that if this happens, they should ignore the person asking and go home or to another safe place.

Do not purchase clothing or school supplies with your child’s name on them. Knowing a child’s name is a way for an abductor to establish a rapport with a child.

Teach your child that it is okay to run away and scream if someone is making them do something they don’t want to do. They should then go and tell you or a trusted adult what happened. They won’t be tattletales.

Take head-and-shoulder photos of your child at least once a year. Keep vital information with photos.

“...A child goes missing every 40 seconds in the U.S., over 2,100 per day. In excess of 800,000 children are reported missing each year. Another 500,000 go missing without ever being reported ...”

D ON ’ T LET YOUR CHILD BE AN ONLINE VICTIM .

Child predators roam cyberspace specifically

in chatrooms and social media sites looking for their next

victim. Allowing your young children and teens to use the internet without some level of

supervision can be a very slippery slope. Approximately one in seven youth online (10

to 17 years old) received a sexual solicitation or

approach over the internet.
