By Jonathan Alexander [email protected]QUEENSBURY — Infuriated with 24 jobs abolished and more pending, dozens of Warren County employees marched, chanted and yelled protests in front of the county Municipal Center June 10 as supervisors dis- cussed further budget cuts in- side. The cuts come at a time when the county faces a $6.3 mil- lion deficit in 2010 budget. “The big picture escapes the county supervisors,” Warren County Probation Department employee and local CSEA presi- dent Mark Murray said. “All they care about is their piece of the pie.” Murray said that the 24 job cuts and the dozens more firings on the horizon are a disgrace and will only work to hurt county services. “Social services case workers are already working flat out,” Murray said. “This is going to only put even more people into unemployment lines.” Facing the pending 2010 budg- etary deficit, county supervisors have slashed the number of em- ployees across the board and funding for numerous outside service-based agencies. Supervisors said that they are ready to renegotiate CSEA con- tracts, seeking reduced benefits, wages and incentives. “Come down and see the peo- ple whose lives you are trying to destroy,” a protester said through a megaphone, his voice intruding on the board's cost-cutting dis- cussions inside the municipal center. Local power brokers like Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec and the Post-Star editorial board were the focus of much of the anger. Last month, the county board killed a proposal by Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Fred Monroe that would have hiked the sales tax from seven to eight percent. Both Stec and the Post-Star opposed the hike, and both have called for cuts in county expenditures. Monroe estimated that roughly $16 million would be raised See PROTEST, page 16 Get Wet Students at Minerva and Newcomb schools brave the rapids.

NEWCOMB — Adirondack resi-dents are indeed relatively poor,aging and under-educated and thearea is hemorrhaging local youth— or so are the findings of the
Adirondack Park Regional Assess-ment Project which was releasedthis week by the Adirondack Asso-ciation of Towns and Villages.
“School enrollments in the parkhave decreased 329 students annu-ally throughout the currentdecade,” the APRAP states. “The
equivalent of the loss of oneAdirondack school district every19 months.”
Local officials are calling the re-lease of the huge plethora of dataas a seminal event in Adirondackhistory which will define debateand discourse within the park for
generations to come.“It’s the basis for future Adiron-

NORTH CREEK — Locally pro-duced foods and products were aplen-ty June 11 as the North Creek Farmer ’sMarket officially opened it’s doors atthe North Creek Depot Pavilion.
“It’s a sharing and community cen-tered thing,” said market organizerBarb Thomas. “Buying locally madegoods allows the community to grow.”
Local merchants, farmers and bakersdisplayed their wares as live musicplayed on the stage in the background.
After over a year of work by Thomasand the North Creek Farmer ’s MarketSteering Committee, the event beganand will continue each Thursdayevening throughout the summer.
Of the 11 vendors present, suchgoods as maple syrup, baked goods,chocolate and crafts were available forpurchase — all locally made.
“With local products, you know ex-actly where it is from and what is in it,”Barkeater Chocolates owner DebbieMorris said. “I think the communitysupport for this shows how much peo-ple want locally made goods.”
And with the many goods comes ahint of local flare and culture.
“I can remember riding on mygrandfather ’s snow shoes as wechecked buckets,” co-owner of Adiron-dack Gold Maple Farm Marc Kenyonsaid. “My family has been makingsyrup for three generations.”
Thomas said that market organizersare currently seeking to expand theirproduce and dairy offerings.
“Vegetables are central to thefarmer ’s market,” she said.
While preparing for the event,Thomas and her peers spent hoursreading literature about successfulmarkets and visiting them throughoutthe region.
“We used the Glens Falls market asthe model,” she said. “A market is notjust a table by the roadside, it is a groupof local farmers coming together.”
The market was made possible bytown of Johnsburg occupancy taxfunding and funding from New YorkState Department of Agriculture.
WEVERTOWN — To allow for expanded social health pro-gramming, the North Country Outreach Center will hold asilent auction fund raiser June 28 at the Fern Lodge onFriends Lake.
“It will be a very elegant affair,” NCOC event organizerSusan Murante said. “Dozens of local and regional artists,ranging from paintings to jewelry, will be highlighted.”
Murante said the proceeds from the event will be used tofund a parenting class in addition to the center ’s dozens ofother programs.
Numerous paintings and photos of the Adirondack
wilderness will be available from artists and photographers.“I am so impressed with how much people wanted to do-
nate to the auction,” Murante said. “It seems in times likethis, people become so giving.”
Murante said that tickets will cost $25 a person or $45 fora couple. Wine and refreshments will be provided through-out the event.
“It is one of the first significant fund raisers we have doneat the center,” she said. “It has turned into a big deal.”
More than 30 artists will be represented, with a wide rangeof aesthetic appeal including the works of Dr. Dan Way,Woody and Elise Widlund and Judy Brown.
The event will run from 2-4 p.m. on June 28. Tickets areavailable at Andie’s Restaurant or the Hudson River Trad-ing Company in North Creek.

$12 million — $629,000 locally raised — while generatinglittle if any revenue to county coffers.
According to Dusek, the county is exploring two very dif-ferent approaches to the railroad project.
A request for proposals seeking to replace UHRR as theoperator is ready to be released as of June 12. But supervi-sors voted to delay the release as the county negotiates withthe state to get out of the project altogether.
County officials have assumed that if Warren Countyabandons the project it will be obligated to return over $2million in state and federal grants.
But Dusek said that there is a potential to abandon theproject without owing the money if the rail lines were usedfor another activity, like a bike path or snowmobiling trails.
But not all supervisors are ready to rip up the rails.“It seems to me that all of this talk of the railroad's de-
mise is a bit premature,” Stony Creek Supervisor FrankThomas said. “We have only tried one operator and maybeanother one would be more successful.”
But the minds of the growing list of anti-railroad super-visors may be already made.
“People would like to find a way to back out of this,” Stecsaid. “We just have to do it right in a responsible way.”

resulting in large portions ofpopulations in the park's cen-ter who are ineligible to ownhomes by default.
Roughly 40 percent of pri-vate Adirondack parcels areowned by people with ad-dresses outside of the BlueLine with housing prices be-ing dictated by second-home-owners in many communi-ties.
The largest employers inthe park are correctional facil-ities, with public schools andmunicipal highway depart-ments running close behind.Over 44 percent of Adiron-dack residents are employedin the public sector.
The median age of anAdirondack resident is 43years of age, while New YorkState as a whole has an aver-age population age of 35.5years.
The report states, the
Adirondack population mir-rors the retirement communi-ties of Western Florida and aresome of the oldest in the na-tion.
In the past two decadesNewcomb Central School Dis-trict has lost more than 84 per-cent of its student body. Con-currently, the median age ofthe town has spiked to 51.4years of age, making it one ofthe oldest communities in thecountry.
Park-wide student popula-tions have declined 31 percentsince 1970, while the numberof teachers has increasedabout 34 percent.
After graduation, only 36.5percent of in-park residentsattend four-year collegescompared to 53.6 percentstatewide. Nearly 13 percentof local high school graduatesimmediately enter the work-force, 7 percent overstatewide totals.
"This data is essential in un-derstanding the communitiesin the park," Monroe said.
The study states, 76 percentof in-park land is renderedunable to be developed afterstate holdings, easements anddefined wetlands are account-ed for.
New York State has directownership of 45 percent of the5.8 million acres which com-prise the park.
The 120-page study in-cludes a CD-ROM which pro-vides data from each of the103 towns and villages sam-pled.
Other topics of discussioninclude availability of techno-logical infrastructure, unem-ployment rates — which tendto spike in off seasons — andtypes of jobs available.
The total population of thepark has doubled since 1950,but adjusted income levelshave declined. Most of thepopulation increases are intowns which sit on the BlueLine.
The APRAP study includeddata provided by a 90 ques-tion survey, U.S. and state
Census data and APA data. Itwas conducted by the LAGroup of Saratoga at a cost of$93,000.
Throughout the study, adistinction is often made be-tween municipalities whollywithin the park and thoseonly partially in the park.

LONG LAKE — The Adirondack Park Association gavethe unanimous go-ahead June 12 to a large-scale residentialdevelopment on Brandreth Lake.
Brandreth Lake is named after the family who has ownedapproximately 8,600 acres surrounding it for more than 150years.
The plans call for over 80 total camps or homes to be builton the property over the next 100 years. The initial phase —which the APA approved — will allow the construction ofthe first 44 structures.
The building footprints are not to exceed 2,500 square feetand the structures must not exceed 35 feet in height.
The development will be limited to the northern-most 440acres of the lake side parcel.
“This applicant is unique in protecting the lake’s re-sources,” APA Commissioner Lani Ulrich said of the Bran-dreth Lake Association.
The site plans call for a “gathering house,” a care-taker ’sdwelling, five commonly-owned guest houses and four boathouses.
Because of the scale of the project, some commissionerssaid that a development specific water and septic systemmay be in order.
According to APA Planner John Quinn, 42 small camps al-ready exist on the property. Quinn said that a separatewaste-water and water system is not required by current reg-ulations and would result in more site disturbance than it isworth.
Much of the property is classified as resource managementarea, but Quinn said that less than one-half of 1 percent ofresource management land would be impacted.
Quinn said that 120 members of the Brandreth family areinterested in the camps.
Commissioner Dick Booth wanted to require an agreementfrom the Brandreth Lake Association to seek no further de-velopment on the property.
“I think to require all of the members of the BrandrethLake Association to reach an agreement like this would beunacceptable to them,” Quinn said.
A stipulation was added by the agency which will restrictthe use of motorized watercraft, Quinn said.
Environmental groups are split on the planned develop-ment with some calling the BLA a model land steward andothers calling the project a threat to the lake’s health.

The workers at the county-operated fish hatcheries inWarren and Essex counties are a huge part of making thishappen.
I want to personally thank these people for what theydo, as well as our county leaders for recognizing the im-portance of funding these facilities.
Unfortunately, however, Warren County supervisors areconsidering axing the $100,000 it takes to operate theircounty trout hatchery — a casualty of their multi-milliondollar budget deficit.
Supervisors were to vote on the move at their June 10meeting, but set the decision aside in order to find out ifthe state might consider running it.
But, the state has said it most likely would not raisetrout there, meaning the 25,000 trout and salmon raised atthe facility would no longer hit local waters.
That, quite simply, is a shame.Put aside the fact the $100,000 comes back tenfold in the
revenue spent by fisherman visiting the region because ofits astounding trout fishing.
Put aside the fact many county taxpayers are also an-glers and the premier stocking done by these hatcheriesgives a tangible return.
Set those considerations aside for a moment, and con-sider the impact the hatcheries have on the lives of ourchildren.
Like its Essex County counterpart, the Warren Countyhatchery stocks for kids fishing derbies in a number of lo-cal communities, and stocks places like Hovey Pond aswell as other popular roadside destinations for young an-glers.
Aren’t the smiles on the faces of these youngsters worththe $100,000 investment?
My own son still has the glass fish he was awarded forthe trout he caught years ago. He cherishes it, as he doesthe memory of catching his first fish.
I ask you, should we take that memory away from fu-ture generations?
Supervisors: Find somewhere else to make upyour budget shortfall.

Ti fishing tourneySpeaking of fishing derbies, the Ti Elks youth fishing
tournament was held under sunny skies June 6 and was aresounding success.
Get hooked on fishing, not on drugs! is the motto of theTiconderoga Elks Lodge 1494 Take a Kid Fishing program.The tournament is a catch and release event where all fishare measured for judging and them safely released. DrugAwareness, Good Sportsmanship, Water Safety and Con-servation are important aspects of this tourney. Compli-mentary hot dogs, hamburgers, soda and snacks wereserved until noon.
Norman St. Pierre from Norm’s Bait Shop handed outthe prizes.
The winners are named below.
My son, Harrison and daughter, Malena show off the trout theycaught during last year’s youth fishing derby in Westport. Youthfishing derbies could be a thing of the past in some WarrenCounty towns if county supervisors decide to shutter the WarrenCounty trout hatchery.
Winners of the 7-9 age category were: Samantha Manley, De-laney Reeves and Ayden Dube.
Winners of the 10-12 age category were: Nathan McLaughlin,Kassidy Bradley and Sheila Jordon.
The winners of the 13-14 age category were: Charily McLaughlin,Kenny Bell and Clifford Bell.

A trophy from the Bank
With Fathers Dayjust around thecorner, the 28th
annual Lake Champlain Inter-national Father’s Day Derby israpidly approaching. Present-ed by Yamaha, the LCI is thelongest running, family orient-ed fishing tournament in thecountry.
Recently, while reading apromotional story about thederby, I was intrigued by aquote advising anglers that “aboat isn’t always necessary tocompete. All rivers defined asLake Champlain waters by New York and Vermont are open —and winning fish have come from the banks before.”
Fishing rivers, exclusively from the banks, was something Ihad never considered for derby competitors. However, the po-tential for catching a large fish on the river or at their mouth isconsiderable.
Area rivers, currently running with high, cloudy waters arefull of food. They are certain to attract fish from the big lake.
I think it would be great if some kid and his dad took a trophyfish that topped the LCI leader board, while sitting on a riverbank.
Bass on the FlyWhile growing up in Elizabethtown, I had few opportunities
to fish for bass. Sure, there was great bass fishing nearby on LakeChamplain or Lincoln Pond, but it required a boat.
Since my major means of transportation was a bicycle — andlater a motorcycle — the likelihood of trailering a boat wasrather slim.
I didn’t have much experience with bass until my senior yearin high school, when I worked as a lifeguard at Lincoln Pondcampsite. It was the first time I had easy access to a boat and Itook advantage of the situation often.
Bass responded quite well to my usual offerings of crayfish,frogs, night crawlers or a Mepps Rooster Tail, my “go to lure.”Some days, a slab of perch and a bobber was all that was re-quired.
At the time, there were no professional bass tournaments.There weren’t any million dollar prizes to be won by anglersdecked out in fancy uniforms speckled with their sponsor’s lo-gos.
Bass boats weren’t even considered a type of boat. Bowmounted trolling motors and 200 hp motors the size of a wash-ing machine hadn’t been popularized.
A bass boat was defined as something that could carry an an-gler or two and floated. No flippin’ sticks or jerk baits. NoNASCAR with a propeller.
Back then, bass fishing was simply an alternative to trout fish-ing. I pursued bass when the waters were too warm for trout.And, I never considered pursuing bass with a flyrod until muchlater. I just didn’t think they would be attracted to a fly.
I was finally introduced to flyfishing for bass by a guest ofmine, early in my career.
The gentleman, Mr. C.L. Gaines, Jr., hailed from Birmingham,Alabama, where he operated the Shook and Fletcher SupplyCompany.
Staying at a local resort on the Saranac Lakes, he hired me fora week to take him flyfishing for trout and over the course ofseveral days, we worked both branches of the Ausable and theSaranacs, the Boquet, the Salmon and the Chateaugay.
By the afternoon of our fifth day on the water, Mr. Gainesasked, in his slow southern drawl, “Have you got any bass inthese waters, boy?”
“Yes, sir,” I answered, “We sure do. But I thought you pre-ferred trout?”
“Whaaale,” he responded, “I generally do. But, by God boy,there’s nothing more exciting on the end of a flyrod than a big,ol’ bass. Ya’all come by in the morning and we’ll fill a boat with‘em.”
The following morning, as we left the lakeside resort in asmall aluminum rowboat, Mr. Gaines produced a large collectionof bass poppers.
The lake surface was a pane of glass, still and calm. Therewasn’t a breath of wind. As he tied a popper on the end of ashort leader, he proclaimed, “You’re about to have the most fun aman can have while sitting down.”
Handing me the flyrod, he instructed, “Cast it to the shorewherever there is a log, stump or underwater brush. Let it settleand then give it a good yank, so it’ll pop. Then, hang on boy!”
Always the ready student, I followed his lead and was startledby the results.
I made a long cast to a shoreline littered with debris. As soonas I twitched the bumblebee shaped cork popper, the calm wa-ters exploded as if someone had tossed a cinderblock.
At the end of the flyline, a three pound smallmouth bassdanced across the surface, tail-walking. It startled me!
It took me a while to land the fish, but it was the first of manyto come.
In the years since that experience, flyfishing for bass has be-come an obsession.
While it will never replace the joy of fishing for brookies on asmall stream, it offers a thrilling alternative when the weather iswarm and the ponds are quiet.
My collection of poppers now includes imitations of mice,bumblebees, dragonflies and even a small redwing blackbird.
And, I never look at a glassy lake or pond without hearing Mr.Gaines’ query, “Any bass in these waters, boy?”
Boy, am I glad he asked!

out, Big Nasty and LittleNasty. These fun names re-ally are full of meaning, butprobably only if you’vespent time in a large rub-bery raft or kayak whilepaddling down the upperHudson River.
A trip down the 17-milestretch of the Hudson Riverfrom Indian Lake to NorthRiver is one of those adven-tures that everyone wholives in the Adirondacksshould have.
I did, on Sunday, June 14.This was my fourth timedown the river, but I stilllearn or relearn stuff, in-cluding: don’t bring any-thing that shouldn’t get wet(like a camera of any kind),know your left from yourright (very important), andbe ready to work with yourraftmates on paddling to-gether. Also, when theguide yells “paddle hardforward right!” and you’resitting on the right side ofthe raft, do it right away.
A group of five studentsfrom Minerva CentralSchool —Giuliano Coco,Sam Kelly, Lisseth Men-doza, Chris O’Connor,Travis Salisbury — and onefrom Newcomb CentralSchool — Garrett Norris —and I took the plunge andheaded down the Indianand Hudson Rivers withHeath Bromley, an experi-
enced guide — with a greatsense of humor and adven-ture — with the HudsonRiver Rafting Companybased in North Creek. Thiswas the first rafting trip forthe students, and it turnedout to be big-time fun forall.
Salisbury, observed: “I’velived in Minerva for eightyears, and I don’t knowwhy I’ve never done thisbefore – it’s great!”.
With the uncommonamount of rain recently, theriver ’s daily “bubble” fromthe Lake Abenaki dambrought water levels up,way up. The water thatday was warmish, and itwas moving quickly. I dis-
covered this post-lunch af-ter falling out of the raftwhile passing throughsome river rapids that mayhave been of a “class 4”persuasion. Once in thewater - with my PFD andhelmet, both requiredequipment, thank goodness– and away from the raft,the river proceeded toshoot me what seemedabout 40 mph through someheavy-duty rapids. It did-n’t take long for Heath tothrow me a lifeline, and Iwas picked up by anotherraft traveling with us. Itwas a neat experience, de-spite a somewhat distress-ing feeling of not being to-tally in control of my near
future.The weather cooperated
fully for us, with the tem-peratures around 70, somebreeziness, and no rain. Wewere wet on a nearly con-stant basis as we made thetrip past Virgin Falls, theBlue Ledges, Kettle Moun-tain, and beneath the traintrestle. Taking a raftingride down the Indian/Hud-son Rivers is an amazingway to get out, get wet, andget an intimate feel for howbeautiful our part of theworld really is. If you’vebeen thinking of taking arafting trip but keep put-ting it off, it’s time to getout there – it’s a wonderfulthing.
Students from Minerva and Newcomb Central Schools pause for a "before" snapshot at Cunning-ham's Ski Barn in North Creek. Note the happy faces, which continued on throughout the day.Standing, from left: Sam Kelly, Giuliano Coco, Travis Salisbury, Garrett Norris, Chris O'Connor. Infront: Lisseth Mendoza.
GUESTVIEWPOINTMCS, NCS students brave the rapids
Jordan Bush, Tarryn Gould andAiden LaCourse perform “GirlsJust Wanna Have Fun” May 30 atthe NCS lip sync competition.
It must be the human condition — to look at the skyand ponder — what am I? Who am I? Why am I?
This is one of those times for me. This week, my family will come together and collective-
ly celebrate the life of my patrilineal grandfather, Dr. BillAlexander and hopefully bring some closure for those ofus left behind.
When pondering these questions, I often refer back tothose individuals who had the greatest formative impacton my personality and being. My grandfather — along-side his tangent offspring, my father — is one of the mostseminal people in my creation of self.
A walk around his “smoke house” yields so many cluesto the character and personality of a man who I will somiss — that pungent aroma of pipe-smoke still pervasivein every scrap of fabric.
His extensive book collection stands in-situ, as a testa-ment to who he was and what his passions were.
From the oft overdone Clancy novels to the works ofDarwin — a host of quotes scribbled almost illegibly onthe wall ranging in references from John Wayne to Plato —he was certainly a Renaissance man.
In my youth, I spent a great deal of time at his propertyon Back to Sodom Road and it is this property that beststands to reflect his passions, desires and beliefs — manyof which still live on through my father, brother and I.
He had an almost obsessive desire to attain an IV Leagueeducation and with five children and another on the wayhe accomplished this goal thanks to shear fortitude andthe undeniable adaptability of my grandmother, Roxanne.
Who would want to spend several years in a Manhattancloset-sized apartment with five kids — stacked in bunkbeds?
Although we didn’t see eye-to-eye on everything —most of our differences of opinion I would attribute togenerational polymorphisms — he was one of the finestconversationalists I have ever met.
We could talk about anything — from the innate humanawareness of ‘self ’ to the planned development of NorthCreek. There were no boundaries or limits — anything tospur thought.
We surely had some epicdebates and fits of dis-course.
Bill was a hunter, but alsoa man who would regularlyrescue the orphaned fawn orraccoon trying to suckle itsdead mother on the side ofthe road and work diligent-ly to get the milk chemistryjust right — as to assure itssurvival.
He was a man of passion,a man striving to be “well-rounded.” And for me, thisis his legacy.
Thanks to my grandfather, my foundational core centersaround the Renaissance man ideal.
I only hope to someday attain his level of this character-istic. Someone who could be equally comfortable runninga chain saw or participating in an ivory tower debate.
An intellect void of pretension, an every-man and astatesman.
These are the values which I will spend my life pursu-ing. They are direct consequences of my 27 years of inter-actions with my grandfather.
Bill will certainly be missed, but in each of us who hadthe opportunity to spend time with him, his legacy lives.
My grandfather directly taught me so many lessons andindirectly even more through beliefs and knowledge car-ried on by my father.
I hope you the reader can excuse this fit of nepotism, butwith the impending event and Father ’s Day to boot, itseemed appropriate.
I only wish I had told him how important he was in mypersonality formation before it was too late. I will nevermake such a mistake again and in this vein — I love youdad.

Highway super has the powerTo the News Enterprise:I am responding to an article in the June 6, 2009 News En-
terprise in regards to the Long Lake town board denying thefour-day highway work week.
The highway superintendent of any town does have thelegal right to set the working hours of the highway depart-ment. According to Highway Law section 140, article 7, note22 and I quote:
“The highway superintendent has the power to fix thework schedules of highway department officers or employ-ees. Working hours of highway employees is a matter to bedetermined by the town superintendent of highways, not bythe town board.”
With a four-day 40 hour work week overtime does nothave to be paid after eight hours of work unless it is stipulat-ed in a collective bargaining agreement or union contractwith highway employees. Overtime is only paid after ex-ceeding 40 hours.
Many towns, counties and most recently the NYS Depart-ment of Transportation work four-day work weeks duringthe summer months. It has been proven to be cost effectivefor many reasons.
Twenty three years ago I approached our town board as aprofessional courtesy and gave my reasons for a four-daywork week then implemented the schedule.
I would only suggest that all supervisors, town boardmembers and highway superintendents refer to the laws thatregulate their authority and duties before articles appear inthe newspaper where false statements are made becausesomeone didn’t do their homework.

Did you know that most stores accept two coupons forthe same item? Many stores’ coupon policies allowstacking, the term couponers use for pairing a manu-
facturer coupon (found in newspaper inserts and on the Internet)with a store coupon that the store offers in a local flyer or on itsWeb site. Pairing the manufacturer coupon and the retailercoupon results in significant savings for you. Often, a shopperwho stacks coupons in this way can get items things for free.
I know what you’re must be thinking: Free? Yes, free. Com-pletely free. Let me give you a few examples of sales that I’ve re-cently enjoyed.
Shampoo is on sale for $3. The store’s flyer has a $2 storecoupon for the shampoo. I have a $1 manufacturer coupon for thesame brand of shampoo. Using both coupons together results in$3 savings, and I go home with a free bottle of shampoo.
Frozen vegetables are on sale for $1 a bag. The store’s Web sitehas a store coupon for 50 cents off, and I have a 50-cent manufac-turer coupon for the same brand of vegetables. Using these to-gether saves me $1 – my vegetables are free.
Even when items aren’t free, they’re often significantly cheaperwith stacking.
A half-gallon of organic milk is on sale for $3. The store’s Website has a store coupon for $1.75 off this brand of milk. This milkalso has a Web site with a printable manufacturer coupon for 50cents off a half-gallon. Now, my carton of organic milk is just 75cents.
Learning that stores allow customers to stack coupons is a reve-lation to new coupon users, and stacking is a big factor in bring-ing your total grocery bill down to a manageable level. When I goto the grocery store, almost every item I buy is significantly lessthan the price most other people pay. I buy items with couponswhen the items are at their lowest point in the sales cycle, and I
stack store and manufacturercoupons together to achieve thelowest prices possible.
Inevitably, people ask me ifthe store loses money whenpeople use coupons to get itemsfor free or at extremely lowprices. The answer is no. Theproduct manufacturers that of-fer the coupons reimburse the store for the full value of thecoupon, plus an 8- to 12-cent handling fee. So, the store actuallymakes more money when people use coupons. If I use 30 couponsin one shopping trip, the store will make an additional $2.40 justin handling fees alone – plus they will be reimbursed the full facevalue of each coupon. Coupons pay for a big part of my grocerybill, and my store earns more because I use coupons regularly.
It’s best to think of your coupons as cash. When my Sundaynewspaper arrives, I immediately bring it in, pull the coupon in-serts out, stick them in a folder… and that’s it. I don’t waste timecutting them out or sorting them by product or type or even look-ing at them until I’m actually ready to go shopping for the week.You don’t have to be a highly organized person to use coupons,but when you start viewing them as cash, you treat them with thesame care and organization that you would paper money. The av-erage Sunday newspaper has at least $40 worth of coupons in-side. Would you leave $40 cash lying around the house to get lostamong other papers and magazines?

INDIAN LAKE — Verizon cell towers in Indian Lakeand Blue Mountain Lake received approval from the townplanning board earlier this month and officials expect con-struction to begin soon.
Last month, the planning board tabled the issue after afew Blue Mountain Lake residents questioned the place-ment of the tower.
The plans call for a tower to be constructed at the BlueMountain Lake fire house, but some residents noticed thatthe footprint of the 39-foot-tall tower would lie on top ofthe department’s septic system. Others argued that plac-ing the tower across the street from the local beach wouldnot maintain aesthetic principles.
“This project has nothing to do with the septic system,”Indian Lake Supervisor Barry Hutchins said recently.
Hutchins said that although a 60-day public commentperiod has expired, construction will be delayed for an ad-ditional 30 days for a public “reactionary period.”
“We fully expect the tower to be up and running by ear-ly fall,” Hutchins said.
He said that the towers are instrumental pieces in de-veloping a 21st century local economy.
“These towers will serve the multitudes as well as giveresidents and visitors alike the opportunity to do businessin Indian Lake,” he said.
INDIAN LAKE — Indian Lake Central School fifth gradestudents have been exploring local history and, with helpfrom the Adirondack Museum, finished a video whichchronicles the culture and life of Adirondack residents.
“It’s important to capture stories before they are gone for-ever,” Adirondack Museum Educational Director ChristineCampeau said June 12. “This project teaches students howto listen and learn about their communities through listen-ing.”
The film is called Adirondack Tales and was, for the mostpart, a student directed production.
The fifth grade students created interview questions,filmed the interview and edited the material resulting in a28-minute dialogue with two longtime area residents — avidoutdoorsman Dean Moulton and local business owner BobEldridge.
“Anyone who tells you they are not lost doesn’t knowwhat they are talking about,” Moulton said during his in-terview which focused on activities like hunting and trap-ping.
Eldridge discussed what growing up in the region was likein the 1940s and 50s.
“My mother always knew where I was — basically,” hesaid. “The most important thing in life is taking time to en-joy it.”
Eldridge said that locals often take a “jack-of-all-trades”approach as season employment typically requires.
Both men said it was an absolute pleasure to come in andwork with the students.
The project was the kick-off to Indian Lake heritage weekand was made possible by funding from the Stewart’s Foun-dation.

“They should have atleast considered the salestax increase,” Murray said.“Spread the heartachearound instead of puttingsquarely on the backs of thelittle guys.”
Murray said the CSEA be-lieves that the labor forceshould be spared and cutsshould instead come frommanagement.
“From the supervisorsperspective, we are reallytrying to minimize the hu-man impact,” Stec said.
But the CSEA doesn'tagree with the approach.
“It seems like the work-force always gets blamedfor these things,” saidSaratoga County CSEApresident Ron Revers whomarched alongside hisunion comrades. “We arethe ones out in snowstormsand working in the nursinghomes.”

and if the employees don’t like it, there’s the door.”He said wage and benefit concessions from employees
were better than firings and shutting down programs.“If we reduce each department and program piece by
piece, we tear apart our whole structure.”Merlino was reacting to the news that Warren County Co-
operative Extension, facing a $116,500 cut, would have tofire four employees of their 10, and cut the programs theyoffer primarily to those of modest and middle income. Upuntil Wednesday, they were slated to be cut $235,000, whichofficials said would virtually close down their operation.
Supervisors reviewed a budget summary prepared byDusek, that indicated that the 2010 shortfall was now onlyprojected at $2.1 million rather than $6.3 million if pendingcuts were enacted. The summary included an anticipated $2million revenue in one-time federal stimulus funds to off-set Medicaid expenses, $750,000 expected to be saved by theabolishment of the 21 jobs, plus three more that are pend-ing. Other savings include $177,000 from Workers Compen-sation rate reduction, and $300,000 from the rent avoided bycounty agencies occupying the new Social Services build-ing. Another source of savings, suggested by InformationTechnology Director Robert Metthe, received praise fromsupervisors. He suggested centralizing printing computerdocuments, saving $150,000 annually in printer toner andmaintenance.
The supervisors cut the shortfall Wednesday by two newmoves. They voted to reduce county employees’ mileagecompensation from 55 cents to 40 cents, which is expectedto yield $78,000 annually, and to cut their county-based payby 10 percent, from $17,000 annually to $15,300. The super-visors also receive stipends from their town.
Among those voting against cutting their own pay wereGlens Falls supervisors Mike O’Connor and Bill Kenny.
These decisions by the county Budget Committee are sub-ject to a final vote Friday June 19 by the full Board of Su-pervisors.

ELIZABETHTOWN —The numbers of driving-while-intoxicated arrestsmade in Essex County thisyear are down significantlyaccording to a report re-leased by the Essex CouontyDistrict Attorney’s office.
Essex County District At-torney Julie Garcia ad-dressed the board of super-visor ’s Public Safety Com-mittee June 8, noting thenumber of DWI cases coun-ty-wide have dropped con-siderably.
“The report shows we aremaking some significantprogress with regards to pre-venting DWI’s,” Garcia said.“For the first five months weonly have 100 arrests – lastyear we had 100 in Ticon-deroga alone.”
Garcia said if the currentpace holds for the rest of2009, DWI cases in EssexCounty would total just over200. By comparison, therewere 420 DWI arrests in2006.
“That’s a pretty remark-able difference,” she said.
Officials are crediting newprevention efforts in thecounty. Several towns thatwere seeing alarmingly highnumbers of arrests were sub-jected to saturation patrolsby State Police, Garcia said.
In some communities, likeMoriah, citizens have initi-ated grassroots efforts toprevent drunk driving by of-fering free rides home frombars during the weekend.Garcia said that’s led to asteady decline in DWI caseslocally.
So far this year, policehave made 12 DWI arrests inLake Placid, 10 in NorthElba, five in Saranac Lakeand one apiece in Jay, Wilm-ington and St. Armand. Gar-cia said DWI cases have in-creased in the town of Keeneover the past month, withthree arrests made throughApril and four in May.
Garcia also updated theboard of supervisors regard-ing the creation of an EssexCounty Victim Impact Panel,to be run by the STOP-DWIoffice.
Most counties statewidehave a Victim Impact Panel,and Garcia said they are ef-fective in reforming individ-uals convicted of DWI.
Convicted drivers hearfirsthand accounts of theemotional and physical suf-fering caused by drunk driv-ing. Garcia compared thesetting to drug and alcoholinterventions.
The STOP-DWI office alsoruns the Prevention Team,which is similar to the Vic-tim Impact Panel but targetsyouth who have committedan Alcoholic Beverage Con-trol, or ABC, violation.
“Rather than just havethese kids do communityservice and pay a fine everytime they get issued the tick-et, we would really like toadd the education compo-nent to that with the hopethat they start to understandwhy we don’t want themdrinking,” Garcia said.
The prevention programsare funded using forfeituremoney.
