PERU — Eight-year-old ChristopherGoheens was born with serious heartproblems, and recently, his health tooka turn for the worse.

Christopher, whose story was firstfeatured in the Clinton County FreeTrader Today in September 2008, washospitalized just prior to Christmaswith complications related to his con-dition known as hypoplastic left heartsyndrome.

According to Christopher ’s mother,Amy Goheens, Christopher beganvomiting blood Dec. 19 and had to berushed to the hospital.

“He lost over a liter of blood,” saidGoheens. “The doctors intubated himin Plattsburgh and wanted to bringhim to Boston Children’s Hospital butcouldn’t fly him because of the weath-er.”

Christopher was then in the processof being transported via ambulance,

but, while en route, his heart rate in-creased rapidly and he began vomitingmore blood, clogging his breathingtube. The ambulance was then redi-rected to Fletcher Allen Health Care inBurlington, Vt., said Goheens, withmedical personnel having a difficulttime stabilizing Christopher.

“The doctors didn’t know if he wasgoing to make it,” she said. “It was re-ally touch and go.”

Eventually, Christopher was stabi-lized and admitted to the hospital’s in-tensive care unit where a heartcatheterization was performed and hewas placed in a medically-inducedcoma. The next night, doctors wereable to clear Christopher for transportto Boston where they performed acomputed tomography scan. The scanshowed a cloudy area on his left lung,which was believed to be blood.

Christopher underwent extensivefurther examination, and doctors ulti-mately found he was bleeding from a

DANNEMORA — The new year did-n’t start as Howard “Pete” Barber ex-pected.

Barber, who serves as the town’shighway superintendent, receivedword the town garage was on fireshortly after 9 a.m. New Year ’s Day,and rushed there from his home lessthan a mile from the scene.

“I couldn’t believe what I saw whenI got here,” said Barber. “The wholefront of the building was engulfed in

flames. We tried to get one of the trucksout but there was too much smoke andtoo much heat.”

Barber said learning of the fire cameas a complete surprise as he had beenin contact with town employees earlierthat morning who were busily clearingthe roads of snow.

“I checked the roads at 4 a.m. andcalled men in to clean the roads. WhenI talked to them at about 7:40 a.m., theysaid everything was fine,” recalled Bar-ber.

NEW YORK CITY — Howard E. Jen-nings III has had a good year.

Most recently, the Cadyville native re-leased his latest album, Ready to Listen,after working on its production for near-ly three months. The CD features five newtracks which Jennings said were inspiredby “love, living with a long distance rela-tionship, and being out on the lonely roadtouring solo.”

The album was officially launched atGramercy Theater in New York City Dec.19.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better ven-ue to release the disc,” said Jennings.“The sound, lighting and audience wereperfect.”

The day prior to the launch, Jenningsplayed on the “Live at Best Buy” stage atBest Buy in New York City’s UnionSquare, which also added to promotingthe album’s release.

“That was a special weekend indeed,”said Jennings.

The last year, in fact, has been a year ofmany opportunities for Jennings, whomost recently toured with Vertical Hori-zon. That tour was “the greatest thing”that has happened to him as a musician sofar, he said.

“Playing in front of hundreds of listen-ers every night with a similar taste in mu-sic, traveling and hanging with such agreat and successful band, and being ableto share a stage with them, it was such apositive experience for me as a singer-songwriter trying to get my name outthere,” said Jennings, who added helearned a lot from the members of Verti-cal Horizon and made many new friends.

Being on tour with Rusted Root, an al-ternative rock band with more of a cultfollowing, was also a memorable experience,said Jennings.

“By the end of the tour, their fans knewlyrics to my songs, which was encouraging,”

he said.Jennings also shared the stage with alter-

native bands like Eve 6 and Marcy Play-ground and recording artists like Ryan Cabr-era, Chris Trapper and John Hampson, the

latter of which is best known for his role asguitarist and vocalist for the band NineDays.

The ability to make such a major commit-ment to his music came when Jennings made

the decision to leave a successfulcareer as a consultant with IBM topursue his music full-time.

“It was one of the toughest de-cisions I’ve ever had to make,”confessed Jennings. “The sched-ules were starting to conflict andthe choice had to be made.”

The momentum in Jennings’music career was continuing tobuild rapidly, he said, adding hewanted to seize the opportunityto further his success because“I’m only in my mid-20s for solong.”

“We might be in the middle ofa recession, but I know it was theright decision and I’ve never feltbetter in my life,” he said.

Jennings said he is currentlyplanning a few tours in the firsthalf of the new year to help pro-mote Ready To Listen. Whilethere is no word yet of upcomingperformances in the area locally,Jennings said he will keep his fol-lowers posted through his Website, www.howardjenningsmu-sic.com and through his MySpacesite,www.myspace.com/howardjen-nings.

While often thousands of milesaway from his native NorthCountry, Jennings said his Websites, which also include Face-book and Twitter pages, help himkeep in contact with his family,friends and fans.

“For an independent artist,with a minimal advertising andpromotional budget, Facebook isa vital tool in spreading the mu-sic,” said Jennings. “I’m still fair-ly new to Twitter, but it’s grown

on me and seems to be a great channel ofcommunication as well.”

Jennings music is available through hisWeb site, iTunes, and other various digitaldistributors.

BEEKMANTOWN — Thetown of Beekmantown isnow on-line.

The town recentlylaunched its new Web site,www.townofbeekman-town.com, which has been adevelopment severalmonths in the making, saidCouncilwoman Sydney Gar-rant. The site, developed byGarrant Consulting ofMassena with the assistanceof a committee of several lo-cal residents and profession-als, was mainly created tobenefit residents of thetown, she said.

“We wanted a place forour citizens to come to forinformation,” said Garrant.“They’re busy and don’t al-ways have time to get to our

meetings, so this gives themthat information.”

The other aspect of theWeb site’s creation was to at-tract newcomers to thetown, said Garrant.

“We also wanted a placefor anyone from outside thetown who had an interest indevelopment, for example,to learn about our industrialpark or other places in thetown,” said Garrant. “Wealso wanted to give them in-formation about placeswithin the town like Point auRoche or Beartown [SkiArea].”

“We’re just trying to get asmuch information on theWeb site as possible thatmight be useful to anyone,”she added,

Town secretary Stacie L.Winchell was among thoseon the committee that devel-

oped the Web site and saidshe feels the site does justthat.

“People can downloadforms they would need,there’s information aboutcode enforcement, a commu-nity calendar,” saidWinchell. “It’s mainly basedon what people in the com-munity asked for — thingswhich would be easier ifthey were found on the In-ternet as opposed to callingor coming down to the townoffice.”

The site also includes con-tact information for theBeekmantown CentralSchool District and organi-zations like the Veterans ofForeign Wars and the BusyB’s Senior Group.

“My favorite is the Busi-ness and Community sec-tion,” said Winchell. “It

gives the businesses in ourtown a chance to put upwhat they have to offer forthe people.”

Already two dozen busi-nesses are listed on the site,with more to come, said Gar-rant.

“We wanted a spot to ad-vertise businesses in thetown, but we’re also lookingto add business outside thetown owned by town resi-dents,” she said.

The more information thetown can get out to the resi-dents and to those outsidethe town, the better, saidGarrant.

“I think [the Web site] is avital tool for people in thetown and for anyone lookingfor information pertainingto our town,” she said. “Thisis the 21st century. Every-thing is on-line.”

“The site isn’t done, ei-ther. We add to it every day,”

said Winchell.Those wishing to have in-

formation added to the sitemay contact Winchell by fill-ing out a Contact Us form onthe Web site, or by callingthe town office at 563-4650.

Virtual machine operation was longconsidered a more advanced infor-mation technology topic. Increas-

ingly though, the topic is taking its placeamong the many initial things to learn in theIT field because VM use is exploding.

To understand VMs, first understand com-puters typically run only one operating sys-tem. Users are free to run as many applica-tions desired, but nearly all computers haveonly one operating system which is fine un-der most conditions. But, consider a condi-tion where a certain application is needed, wehave it, but the operating system on the PCdoes not support it.

This is a common problem in business when new com-puters replace older ones, but a very important applicationinstalled on an older PC is still needed to perform a busi-ness-critical role. One option is to load an old operating sys-tem on the new PC. Another solution is to run a virtual ma-chine — actually a system virtual machine — which is de-fined as any entity that provides a complete system platformthat supports the execution of an operating system. In oth-er words, it is a program that creates the environment for

other operating systems to run.Virtual machines can emulate both new

and old operating systems. They allow theoption to do something like run a Linux op-erating system on a Windows PC. Normally,the user would have to load Linux as the op-erating system (or dual-boot) to use it, butthe VM running as an application on theWindows PC creates the environment whereLinux thinks it is the only operating systemrunning. Two types of VMs include thosethat run as an application on a host operat-ing system along with those that do not needa host OS.

Next week, we look at an example of eachand discuss the advantages/disadvantages.

There’s no disputing animals have al-ways had a positive impact on theirowners’ lives. Now, evidence sug-

gests four-legged friends are a real healthbenefit for elderly people, helping them livelonger, healthier and happier lives, suggeststhe Coastal Companion Care Communicatornewsletter. Pets are a huge benefit to care-givers as well. Studies show owning a petlowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels,helping to reduce the risk for heart disease.

According to a study in the Journal of theAmerican Geriatrics Society, caring for a cator dog helps people overcome depression andloneliness. Animals have a keen sense when itcomes to emotions. They pick up on many senses humanscan’t. Animals are fantastic for companionship. They arehappy to see you, they know when you are sad, they love toreceive attention, and they are loyal. The positive impact an-imals have on people — especially the elderly — is tremen-dous. So much so there are organizations such as the Pets forthe Elderly Foundation, a nonprofit organization, thatspecifically places dogs and cats into the homes of senior cit-izens, helping them overcome loneliness.

From a caregiver ’s perspective, the simpleact of walking your dog keeps you activeboth physically and mentally. Fresh air andsunshine are good for you both. Stroking orbrushing the animal is good exercise for thehands and arms. Pets may motivate the eld-erly to do activities they might not do oth-erwise. Pets help the aging focus on some-thing positive instead of the negative phys-ical and emotional preoccupation that cancome with aging. People and pets can be awinning combination. The right companionanimal may help seniors and their care-givers lead happier, healthier lives.

Here’s a question from a reader likeyou who’s learning how to usecoupons to save money at the gro-

cery store:Q: “I have to disagree with you about hold-

ing onto coupons until stores put the item ona good sale. Great idea, but as you might havenoticed coupons today have a very short lifespan. You said grocery stores’ best sales oncertain items rarely coincide with couponsavailable that week. I don’t believe youshould hold on to coupons and wait for a bet-ter sale because the coupons will expire. Bestto grab the deal when you can and use thecoupon, otherwise it’s a waste of time cuttingthose coupons out.”

A: This is one of the most common misconceptions aboutcoupons: assuming that they expire too soon to make hold-ing onto them worthwhile. The average coupon has an ex-piration date three months out. Some expire sooner, some ex-pire later, but it’s wrong to assume that they all expire veryquickly. I have coupon inserts that are more than eightmonths old that still have current, unexpired coupons inthem – proof that it’s not only important to hold onto all ofour inserts until every coupon inside expires, but also proofthat not all coupons expire quickly.

Using coupons the same week you get them is almost al-ways a big mistake. Stores know exactly which products willbe featured in the coupon inserts for the current week, andmost stores will intentionally leave these items at a higherprice. The reason? Stores know how most people usecoupons. Most people will cut coupons out of this week’s pa-per and use them the same week. But these shoppers usual-ly pay a much higher price on a given product, even with acoupon, than if they had waited for a better sale and thenused the coupon.

About six weeks ago, I received a $1 coupon with an ex-piration date three months out, good for a certain brand ofsoup. This soup was $3.29 the week the coupon arrived. If Iused the coupon that week, I’d pay $2.29, still much more

than I like to pay for a can of soup. But withthree months’ time to watch for a better sale,I waited. And this week, the soup went onsale for $1 a can. My coupon is still morethan a month away from expiring, but bywaiting a few weeks, I took the soup homefor free! Had I used it the week I’d gotten it,I would still have paid more than two dol-lars for the soup. Free is much better.

After one of my coupon classes, a mancame up to me and told me that he had an“aha!” coupon moment. He was an avid pok-er player, and he equated knowing when to“play” your coupon to knowing when toplay a certain card in a hand of poker. I likethis analogy a lot, because coupon shopping

can definitely feel like a game at times... and it’s a gamethat’s fun to win! A $1 coupon is worth a lot more pairedwith a $1 sale price than it is with a $3.29 regular price.

As for your point about using a coupon the week you cutit out so that it’s not a “waste of time,” I’d suggest that younot be so quick to clip. I never cut coupons that I’m not go-ing to use immediately. I use a “clipless” system to managemy coupons (more on this at www.supercouponing.com un-der “Getting Started.”) I’m not cutting a coupon out until theweek I actually need it. If the coupon in my insert does notline up with a good sale before it expires, I haven’t wastedany time at all clipping it, looking it up or carrying it around.I use as little time and effort as possible to manage mycoupons and you can, too!

As I had mentioned in my previouscolumn, some plant pathogens canbe introduced into a crop on seeds.

Bacterial pathogens are notorious for thismeans of dissemination. Purchasing treatedseeds is one way to avoid this problem. Theother way is to use hot water to kill diseases.

This treatment is suggested for seeds ofeggplant, pepper, tomato, carrot, spinach,lettuce, celery, cabbage, turnip, radish, andother crucifers. Seeds of cucurbits (squash,gourds, pumpkins, watermelons, etc.) can bedamaged by hot water and thus should notbe treated.

To treat the seeds, wrap seeds loosely in awoven cotton bag, such as cheesecloth, or a nylon bag. Then,place the seeds in 100 degree water for 10 minutes. Next,place the pre-warmed sees in a water bath that will hold thewater at the recommended temperature for the recommend-ed length of time. Length of treatment and the temperatureof water must be exact. A good thermometer and timer areimportant.

After treating the seeds, place the bag in cold tap waterfor 5 minutes to stop any heating action. Spread the seeds ina single, uniform layer on a screen to dry. Do not store theseeds until they are thoroughly dry so that they do not ger-minate or rot.

Here’s the recommended water temperature and timingfor several common vegetable: Brussels sprouts, eggplant,

spinach cabbage, and tomato should be in 122degree water for 25 minutes; broccoli, cauli-flower, carrot, collard, kale, rutabaga, andturnips go into 122 degree water for 20 min-utes; mustards and radishes are at 122 de-grees for 15 minutes; peppers should be at125 degrees for 30 minutes; and lettuce, cel-ery, and celeriac are 118 degrees for 30minute. Keeping the water too hot or keep-ing the seeds in too long will kill the seeds.Low water temperatures or shorter than rec-ommended time periods will not kill thepathogens.

While this process is not “rocket science”you do have to be precise. If you are not one

who enjoys following directions closely, you can avoid thisprocess by purchasing treated seeds. But, if you do like tofollow precise instructions, this process can allow you topurchase untreated, organic seeds and still ensure the seedswill not be transmitting pathogens into your garden!

SARANAC — There’s a new super-visor in town.

James E. Facteau was sworn into of-fice during an organizational meetingof the Saranac Town Council Jan. 4.

Following the meeting, Facteau re-marked he’s settling into the new posi-tion well thanks to the cooperation ofthe council and Joe Gerardi, the town’simmediate past supervisor.

“Joe’s been great. He’s helped makethe transition really smooth,” saidFacteau.

Facteau owns and operates FacteauExcavation in Cadyville. He retired

from his position as a cor-rection officer for the NewYork State Department ofCorrectional Services in2003, a career which heserved 25 years. He comesto the council with no pri-or government experience,though said he was moti-vated to run for Gerardi’sposition after he learnedGerardi was not seeking re-election.

“I want to do what I canto keep the tax rate down as humanlypossible,” said Facteau.

“It’s been an eye-opening experiencebut I’m learning a lot,” he added.

Because he is still new totown government, Facteausaid he’s still examiningwhat issues will be hismain concern in the newyear. The potential reclassi-fication by the AdirondackPark Agency of the SableHighlands — a 17,190-acreparcel owned by the statewithin the town — isamong one of the issuesthat will require close at-tention, he said.

A public hearing has been scheduledby the APA for Thursday, Jan. 28 at theSaranac Town Hall, which Facteau saidhe strongly urges residents to attend.

By Sarah L. [email protected]

Aplan to bring brickand mortar busi-nesses back to the

forefront of consumers’minds, is one Cinda Baxterhopes will save localeconomies.

Baxter founded The 3/50Project, a nationwide initia-tive that has begun to spreadlike wildfire.

Her story began lastMarch, when she wrote ablog in response to anotherblog written by Rieva Leson-sky, consulting editor of Biz-Women.com.

Lesonsky’s blog was in re-gard to a story she heard onthe radio about a man whodecided to only patron atstores where he could walkin and actually speak to the

owner. “What happened by the

end of the summer is hefound he was eating at thesame three restaurants all thetime,” Baxter explained.

Baxter ’s response on herblog, “Always Upward,” wassimply telling people to shopat three stores a month,spending $50 amongst them— advice that if half the em-ployed population followedit, it would generate $42.6billion in revenue.

“I thought maybe a dozenof my friends who own retailstores around the countrywill jump on this,” Baxter re-called after writing her blogpost.

However, a week afterposting her blog, Baxter de-cided to post fliers whichwould briefly explain theconcept of “pick three, spend

$50,” to which she only an-ticipated half of her dozen orso friends would actuallyprint.

“Well, what happened isall of a sudden it went viral,”she said. “People were notonly downloading the flier,but they were e-mailing toeverybody they know. With-in the first 48 hours, I hadover 350 e-mails from totalstrangers saying, ‘This isgreat. What else have yougot?’”

Now, less than a year later,Baxter has a Web site up andrunning to promote The 3/50Project, which allows “brickand mortar” businesses tosign up, free of charge, as ei-ther an independent or a sup-porter.

To date, more than 14,500businesses across the coun-try have signed on to the

idea, with more than 240,000visiting the Web site.

“I’ve been thrilled just athow warm it’s been em-braced by businesses, by con-sumers, by grassroots organ-izations, by the media,” Bax-ter said. “This has been onehuge small business love-fest.”

But, why shop at smallbusinesses instead of chains,box stores or franchises?

According to Baxter, whowas a small business ownerfor 14 years, it comes down to“commuter consumerism.”

The term, which Baxtercame up with on her own, isthe idea that “each day weare so stressed and we are sorushed ... we have forgottenthat it’s those little tiny busi-nesses in between the big gi-ant objects along the high-way, that are really what car-ries the brunt of the load forour communities.”

With statistics from a 2008civic economics study, forevery $100 spent in a local,independent store, $68comes back to the communi-ty through “taxes, payrolland other expenditures,” ac-cording to Baxter ’s Web site.

“If you spend that in a na-tional chain, only $43 stayshere. Spend it on-line andnothing comes home,” theWeb site states.

Alan’s Party Supply andMeyer ’s Gifts in Plattsburghare among the businessesacross the country who sup-port The 3/50 Project.

Patricia L. Mihal, whoowns the businesses, said shefirst heard of the initiativethrough trade magazines shereceives and, out of shear cu-riosity, she decided to lookmore into it.

“I read about it on theirWeb site and I liked what itstood for,” said Mihal. “So, Isigned up to be a supporter.”

Mihal said she likes thefact she can download the fli-er and utilize it to help pro-mote not only her business-es, but the idea of shoppingat all local businesses as well.

“I think it’s very impor-tant,” Mihal said of shoppinglocally. “It means more to [lo-cal business owners] becauseyou may be saving a dollar ortwo, but it doesn’t mean asmuch to a store like Wal-Martas it does to us.”

That’s because smallerbusinesses tend to makemore of a profit from pur-chases made at their estab-lishments versus the profitmade by a big-box retailerfrom the same purchase, saidMihal.

“And, it trickles down. Itmeans more to me as a smallbusiness owner, because Ishop local,” she said. “Themoney goes from the cus-tomer to me and goes fromme as a customer to anotherlocal business.”

Mihal said when she andher husband purchased a tel-evision last year, they exer-cised her philosophy.

“We could’ve saved $20going up to Sears, but weended up going to Big AppleAudio because, even thoughit was $20 more, it was sup-porting a local business,”said Mihal. “It’s also becausethese guys have been aroundfor awhile and I know I cantrust them to install it right.”

“The businesses that havebeen around for awhile havea good work ethic. Theystand behind what they sell,”she added.

And, though Mihal saidthere is more “uniqueness”in the products found inbusinesses like hers, what’smore important is the level ofcustomer service you findwith homegrown businesses,she said.

“This morning, we spentlike 10 minutes sitting andtalking with a couple whocame in here who used to besome of my employee’sneighbors,” said Mihal.“That doesn’t happen instores like Wal-Mart. We’reyour neighbors.”

Nationwide initiative aimsto keep economy runningthrough local businesses

Patricia L. Mihal, owner of Alan’s Party Supply and Meyer’s Gifts in Plattsburgh, is among businessowners across the country who support The 3/50 Project, an initiative that promotes patronizing localbusinesses.


Despite numerousstudies conductedover the years by a

variety of entities, there is littlecurrent data available on thenumber of visitors to theAdirondack Park, their prefer-ences for activities or estimatesof their expenditures.

Due to the fact there are nogates, toll booths or similar en-trances into the AdirondackPark, regional tourism officialscan only offer estimates on thetotal number of visitors to theAdirondack region.

The most recent figures provided by theAdirondack Tourism Council estimates 7 to 9million tourists stay an average of 2 to 2.5 dayseach year.

However, a federal study reported 10 millionvisitors spent about two days (16 to 22.5 millionvisitor nights) in the Park.

Overwhelmingly, the majority of visitors re-port the primary purpose of their visit was “na-ture based.”

This should come as no surprise, as nearlyhalf of the park’s 6.5 million acres are open topublic use and the majority of these lands re-quire no fee.

Public access to state lands is free.Given 90 percent of all Americans claim to

have participated in at least one outdoor recre-ational activity over the last 12 months, the po-tential economic impact of a fee-based programfor recreational access is considerable.

Although fewer than 130,000 residents live inthe Park year-round, the region hosts an esti-mated 70,000 seasonal residents and is within aday’s drive for over 90 million people.

Is it time for a “pay to play” recreation fee?Could such a program offer a regional econom-ic stimulus and enhance the recreational experi-ence? Would the region’s environmental com-munity embrace the idea or go to battle?

Pay to playThe Adirondack Park, considered one of the

world’s greatest experiments in environmentalprotection, has been recognized as a shining ex-ample of a “park with people” that coexist seam-lessly with nature.

Created as a “Central Park for the world,” theAdirondacks have been kept “forever wild forthe free use and enjoyment” by constitutionalconvention for over a century.

Free use of public lands is a component of ournational, frontier heritage of free movement. Itis a value as sacred as apple pie on the Fourth ofJuly. We live in a place with lands so vast citi-zens can generally go where they wish, whenthey want, so long as they do no harm.

The concept of recreational user fees violatesthe valuable heritage of freedom of movement.However, it is time for those who regularly en-joy this heritage to guarantee we have quality

places to bike, hike, hunt andpaddle in the future. If we wantto continue to camp and hike,ski and fish, the discussionmust begin soon.

If the purchase of an AccessPass was mandatory for allusers of state lands, instead ofbeing a voluntary contribution,it could generate an enormousamount of funding for conser-vation, environmental protec-tion and recreational infra-structure.

The effort may also serve toreduce some of the friction that

currently exists between the park’s various usergroups. It would put everyone in the same boat.

It’s important to note 100 percent of hunting,trapping and fishing license fees go directlyback to conservation. Every time an angler buysa rod or reel, or when a hunter purchases afirearm or a bow, a portion of these funds arealso dedicated to wildlife conservation througha built in, federal excise tax on those products.These funds are distributed back to the statesbased on annual sporting license sales.

Together, hunters and anglers contributeabout $1.9 billion annually to conservation thatwould not otherwise exist. In fact, hunters andanglers are the nation’s primary source of fund-ing for wildlife conservation. Without their fi-nancial contributions, conservation as we knowit would cease to exist in our country.

For hunters, trappers and anglers, mandatorycontributions are included in the purchase of anannual license. But license sales can no longersupport everyone’s fish, wildlife and other out-door sporting adventures.

Yet, very few opportunities exist for skiers,paddlers, hikers, birders, bikers, climbers andother non-consumptive outdoor travelers tocontribute financially to the Conservation Fund.

Too often, hunters and sportsmen fail to rec-ognize the value of all the grunt work many vol-unteers put into trail maintenance. It is a myth‘self-propelled travelers’ contribute nothing tofund recreation in the Forest Preserve. Theresimply isn’t a viable method.

If outdoor folk want to insure there is avail-able first aid and emergency help for them in badsituations, habitat to enjoy and an educated anduser-friendly department, they’re going to haveto ante up. We’ve all got to figure out a methodto pay our fair share.

Experts in the field agree on the only long-term solution: “Nonhunters and nonanglers-theoverwhelming majority of the population-mustcontribute on a regular basis.”

Establishing a fund dedicated to outdoorrecreation and trail improvement would assistin the development, maintenance and accessi-bility of New York’s recreational infrastructureand extensive trail systems.

Such an effort would help establish parity be-tween the various user groups and serve to

bridge the growing divide between conserva-tionists and environmentalists.

Some may view such efforts as the commer-cialization of public lands or as Edward Abbeylabeled it, ‘Industrial Tourism’ and ‘Wreck-reation’ or the Disneyfication of outdoor recre-ation.

However, the federal government and sever-al states have already begun collecting user fees.The Federal Lands Recreational EnhancementAct, passed by Congress in 2004, authorized fouragencies — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,the National Park Service, the Bureau of LandManagement, and the U.S. Forest Service — tocharge access fees in areas that fall under a broaddefinition of “high use.”

In Wisconsin, user fees and state taxes providemost of the money for operating state parks,forests, and trails. The fees include vehicle ad-mission stickers, state trail passes, and campingfees. A trail pass is required for all people age 16

or older biking, in-line skating, horseback rid-ing, or cross-country skiing on certain designat-ed trails.

In high use areas at some National Forests,there are now vending machines at major trail-heads to dispense trail passes via cash or creditcard. Cars parked at select trailheads are re-quired to display a trailhead parking pass,which costs $15 for a season or $5 for three days.Failure to display the pass is punishable by amandatory $250 fine.

Next week’s column will investigate methodsto implement, collect and enforce user fees.

Eight-year-old Christopher Goheens is recovering following a recent bout with complications from hy-poplastic left heart syndrome, a condition he’s had since birth. Christopher is seen here in a photofrom his hospital stay in Boston, Mass.

Photo submitted

tiny group of collateral vessels near his lungs. Because thevessels are so small, doctors are unable to remove them, saidGoheens, leading them to take a “wait and see” approach tosee if the episode will repeat itself.

“The doctors don’t know if this will happen again or,more likely, when this will happen again,” said Goheens,who said Christopher has returned home since the ordeal.

The Peru Primary School third-grader was cleared by doc-tors to return to school following winter recess, said hismother, and though he appears to be doing okay, she’s stillworried about what the future holds. What Goheens doesknow, is that her son will have to return to Boston in thenext six to 12 months for follow-up.

“[The doctors] are hoping at that point, these vessels willhave gotten smaller or there’s vessels big enough to get tocoil them off and kill them,” she said. “They also want to doan arrhythmia study and try to figure out where that ar-rhythmia is coming from and regulate that.”

In the meantime, a fundraiser has been planned for theHelping Hearts for Christopher Fund, the fund establishedthrough the Foundation of CVPH in Plattsburgh which pro-vides travel assistance to Christopher ’s family. Thefundraiser will be a dinner held Friday, Feb. 5, at the Rain-bow Wedding and Banquet Hall in Altona beginning at 6p.m. The evening will include entertainment by The BackPorch Band and a 50/50 drawing.

The cost will be $25 at the door or $20 in advance by call-ing 569-4514, 643-2261 or 569-4118 for tickets.

Those wishing to send cards to Christopher may do so incare of him to 13 Northwood Ave., Apt. A, Peru N.Y. 12972.

Correction

the role of town supervisorthe same day as the fire, saidit was “some first day.”Pivetta heard about the firewhile he was at his home inLyon Mountain and rushedto the scene.

“In the meantime, three orfour fire departments werethere,” said Pivetta. “But, itburned everything. Themain office for the highwaysupervisor, our records, ourequipment, the lunchroom— everything. We don’teven own a screwdriver.Everything’s gone.”

Though the cause of thefire is still under investiga-tion, the town now faces aloss of approximately $1million worth of equipment,said Pivetta, which includesmachines such as snow-plows and front-end load-ers. The supervisor said hehas requested the state de-clare a state of emergencyfor the town, and is awaitingword back from state repre-sentatives.

“When you lose a wholehighway department, it’sgot to be some kind of emer-gency,” he said.

In the meantime, neigh-boring municipalities have

come to the aid of the Dan-nemora highway depart-ment, offering the equip-ment and services of theirrespective departments.

“Thank goodness for thehelp of all the nearbytowns,” said Pivetta. “And,thank goodness for Pete andall the town employees.Right now, they’re plowingthe roads, they’re doing thework and giving extra timeto pitch in. It’s been great.”

“The real story in this isthe generosity of the ClintonCounty Highway Associa-tion,” said Barber. “Theywere here almost immedi-ately. Every last depart-ment. I’ve gotten calls fromdepartments in FranklinCounty, Essex County. It’sbeen just phenomenal.”

The town council plans tomeet with engineers andcontractors in the comingdays to discuss plans thathave been on the table tobuild a new highway de-partment building.

“We’re going to see if wecan hurry up production,but the way winter is in thisarea, it might be almost im-possible,” said Pivetta.
