HITTIN’ THE SLOPES

NORTH CREEK — Less than ayear after negotiating a contractwith Warren County, owners of theSaratoga and North Creek Railwayare seeking to re-draft the agreementto temporarily cap their ongoingpayments to use the county rail line,and share the cost of about $1 mil-

lion in track upgrades with thecounty.

The proposal calls for the countyto temporarily forego its contractual6 percent slice of the railway rev-enue beyond a minimum of $81,958— in return for Iowa Pacific invest-ing about $1 million up front in up-grades to the county track thatstretches between Corinth andNorth Creek.

Ed Ellis, CEO of Iowa Pacific

Holdings — the parent company ofthe railway — and railway consult-ant David Simpson presented theproposal Thursday, Feb. 2 to countySupervisors.

The county has contracted to setaside five-sixths of the paymentsfrom Iowa Pacific in a reserve fundfor major repairs.

Ellis noted that in 2011, Iowa Pa-cific already spent $800,500 in re-pairs and maintenance, far beyond

the $300,000 annually specified inthe contract. Iowa Pacific also spent$280,000 in improving track at theSaratoga Springs rail station, with-out county help.

With Iowa Pacific earning $3 mil-lion in revenue per year, the fore-gone payments would total about$500,000 over five years, at whichtime the 6 percent payouts to thecounty would be reinstated. Ellissaid he expected that revenue would

WEVERTOWN — The Johnsburg fire dis-trict departments still have no contract afterthe chiefs all gathered for a second publicmeeting to pass their new contract.

The town of Johnsburg introduced a newfire contract last summer after many yearswith the same two-page agreement. The newdocument was full of specific clauses de-manding responses to emergencies the firedepartment volunteers weren't equipped forthat the chiefs found dissatisfying. Theywanted to return to their traditional con-tract, but legal advice to the town said thenew contract was standard and comparableto other locales. A temporary contract wasenacted last summer.

So the fire departments got a lawyer toprotect their interests, and the town and firedistrict lawyers hammered out a contractthat should have been agreeable to both par-ties.

But the town board didn't agree, at leastnot the majority. Kate Nightingale didn'tmake the meeting, so there were four boardmembers to put to vote.

After the public hearing raised questionsabout a late payment charge of 5.5 percent tothe town and what the Volunteer Firefight-ers' Benefit Law cited in the contract is,board member Pete Olesheski tried to forceimmediate action with authoritative mo-tions to close the hearing and pass the con-tract. But fellow councilmen Arnold Stevensand Gene Arsenault couldn't agree with the

contract as it was presented. Without a fifthmember, Town Supervisor Ron Vanselowand Olesheski's aye votes made a deadlock— twice as Vanselow tried to pass the con-tract later in the meeting.

The late payment fee was negotiable, saidthe board, though it seems to show unduedistrust for a small-town fire district agree-ment.

“It's not a dealbreaker,” said Stevens. “It'snot a hill I'm willing to die on.”

Vanselow throughout discussion on thefire contract alluded to a problem depart-ment in the district, and said the contractneeded half-steps for accountability. It

shouldn't be a make-or-break contract, hesaid, there should be a process for airinggrievances before a contract is severed.

North River Fire Chief John Donahue,who's headed the conversation with thetown board for the fire district, said a chiefsteers their department as best he can.

“It's all snap decisions. It's all two o'clockin the morning decisions,” said Donahue.

The lack of an approved contract got to thefire chiefs, and some were markedly upsetafter the second failure of the meeting.

“There's absolutely no way they're goingto get their payment in March,” said Olesh-eski, who apologized to the firefighters for

the delays.“Every time we come to the town board it's

a new issue, it's a new issue,” said Donahue.“Now we've got five more issues.”

The contract identifies the payment duedate as March 15, 2011, a figure pointed outas already late by an audience member, andprobably indicative of a poorly-crafted con-tract. The individual departments are due$38,912.65 in March 2012, and $40,000 inMarch 2013 under the contract.

In other town news:•Vanselow said the town has identified

several new spots to mine sand for the roads,and the town engineer found that approvalfor a mining permit should only take aboutfour months. This should take care of thelooming sand reserve issue.

•FrontStreet's lawyers asked the town toapprove their water lines, already OK'd byJohnsburg's lawyer and engineer, and to re-lease some of their construction bonding.

•The Tannery Pond Community Centerneeds a new compressor for its HVAC sys-tem at a cost of $2,500 to $2,800. The boardapproved the cost.

•The Bluegrass Festival use of the SkiBowl Park was approved for 2012.

•Highway Superintendent Dan Hitchcockgot early approval for posting weight limitson the roads for the freeze/thaw spring cy-cle.

•Denise Conti and Anne Morse were reap-pointed to the Library Board of Trustees.

•Water rents were raised by $115 for twobuildings that have an apartment that haveso far not been charged for.

News Enterprise Editorial

Not long ago, having a high-speeddata connection to the Internetwas considered a luxury. But in

recent years, broadband access is not justconsidered a convenience, it’s a founda-tion of modern life. For both adults andchildren, it’s virtually a necessity forwork, commerce and education.

In many schools, children are expectedto have broadband access at home. Stu-dents are instructed to receive assign-ments and check homework updates on in-teractive websites, and to communicatewith their teachers off-hours via email.

College applications are now completedon websites. People applying for jobs orcollege admission are expected to submitresumes and information online.

Businesses need this connectivity to staycompetitive and survive, whether it’s mar-keting to customers, dealing with suppli-ers, or securing sales.

Real estate agents in the Adirondacksand other resort areas report that peopleseeking to relocate want to know if Inter-net broadband access is available beforethey buy property. Hotel and inn propri-etors are questioned whether their accom-modations have broadband connectionsand Wi-Fi before vacationers book a room.

Routine banking functions are conduct-ed over the Internet. Patients are increas-ingly expected to obtain medical test re-sults and communicate with their doctorsover the Internet.

However, most small communities inthe Adirondacks don’t have broadband ac-cess, except for satellite service, which canbe unreliable and expensive. DSL servicein the region is limited. Many of our arearesidents have only dial-up service, whichisn’t practical in the modern world.

Regardless of the accelerating trend na-tionally to have employees work fromhome, it just isn’t happening here. Instead,we’ve seen a steep decline in populationsof towns in the core areas of the Adiron-dacks. The reason, many believe, is due tothe lack of broadband access.

In 2009, the Adirondack Regional As-sessment Project determined that broad-band access in the region was quite limit-ed. The study revealed that only 5 percentof Adirondack communities had wide-spread broadband access, and these wereprimarily the moneyed resort towns — orsituated on the perimeter of the Adiron-dack Park.

This and other studies have indicatedthat lack of broadband is hampering busi-nesses, curbing job growth, and throttling

tourism. Development of broadband infra-structure has been identified as critical foreconomic vitality in the Adirondacks.

While the sparse populations scatteredover wide areas of the Adirondacks pres-ents a challenge to providing broadbandthrough conventional technologies, recentregulatory developments and technologi-cal advances offer hope.

A small-scale broadband project in thesouthern Adirondacks appears to offer apromising solution that might be applica-ble to vast areas of the Park.

In Thurman, an entrepreneur is workingwith the town government to bring fast,affordable broadband to the town’s 1,200households. The access is based on broad-casting digital signals over the “whitespace” between television station signalson the radio-wave spectrum. The Internetconnection through this technology is upto eight times faster than satellite. The sys-tem transmits signals from dozens of exist-ing telephone poles throughout the ruraltown to small antennas at households.

The technology is promising, because itworks over hilly terrain, and transmitsthrough foliage, unlike other digitalbroadcast options.

We at Denton Publications hail the ini-tiative.

Now, it’s time for action from all levelsof government —to go beyond mere stud-ies and jargon-filled proclamations. Ourpolitical leaders need to step forward andencourage such initiatives like the one un-der way in Thurman.

Our politicians should stop giving merelip service to expansion of rural broad-band and take action to develop policiesthat prompt competition, encouraging lo-cal start-ups to utilize various technolo-gies for local broadband networks that fitthe requirements of the local terrain andpopulation. This may mean simply relax-ing regulations or decreasing bureaucraticpermit requirements, or it may mean ag-gressively pursuing grant funding.

Such action is important to our region’seconomic health, as well as preserving theunique culture and lifestyle of the Adiron-dacks.

Broadband access critical to Adirondack lifeOne of the major issues

with the AffordableCare Act, the health

care reform legislation knownas Obama Care, is that it is stilla work in progress with muchof its finer points still being de-fined and created. Over the lastseveral years, bits and pieces ofthe Act have been rolled outwith most due for complianceby 2014.

While the Affordable CareAct will be fodder for the up coming presi-dential election, various rulings and interpre-tations continue to be issued. One such rul-ing last month by the U.S. Department ofHealth and Human Services mandates thatnearly all health insurance plans cover steril-izations and FDA-approved contraceptives,including those that induce abortions. TheAct specifies that churches and other housesof worship will be exempt from the require-ment to offer insurance that covers contra-ception. To be eligible these institutions mustshow the government that they hire andserve primarily people of their own faith andhave the inculcation of religious values astheir primary purpose. Unfortunately somechurches serve a broader focus in their com-munities by providing services to the under-privileged regardless of their faith affiliation.These faith-based organizations would be de-nied an exemption because of their service tothe general public at large.

Regardless of how you may feel about is-sues of contraception, abortion, the Afford-able Care Act or religious beliefs, the issue ofthis ruling goes right to the heart of our FirstAmendment rights. Thomas Jefferson wrotein 1809, “No provision in our constitutionought to be dearer to man that that whichprotects the right of conscience against theenterprise of civil authority.”

The regulation is due to take effect for in-dividual citizens and private businesses onAug. 1, 2012, but religious institutions haveuntil Aug. 13, 2013 to become compliant. Theregulation mandates that certain FDA-ap-proved contraceptives that can induce abor-tions such as Plan B and Ella, be coveredthrough the health insurance plans withoutany fees or co-payments. In the past, the fed-eral government respected conscientious ob-jections to procedures such as sterilizationthat may violate religious beliefs or moralconvictions. A law in effect since 1973 saysthat no individual is required to take part in“any part of a health service program or re-search activity funded in whole or in part un-der a program administered by the Secretary

of Health and Human Services”if it is “contrary to his/her reli-gious beliefs or moral convic-tions” (42 USC 300a-7 (d)). Eventhe Federal Employees HealthBenefits Program, which re-quires most of its health plans tocover contraception, exempts re-ligious affiliated plans and pro-tects the conscience rights ofhealth professionals in otherplans. Currently no federal lawrequires anyone to purchase,

sell, sponsor or be covered by a privatehealth plan that violates his/her conscience.

Unless HHS reverses direction or the ACAis rescinded an organization seeking exemp-tion must meet four strict criteria, includingthe requirement that it both hire and serveprimarily people of its own faith. Faith basedschools, kitchens, clinics and hospitals wouldhave to eject their non-faith employees, stu-dents, clients and patients or purchase healthcoverage that violates their moral and reli-gious teachings. The exemption provides noprotection at all to sponsors and providers ofhealth plans for the general public, to peoplewho own businesses or to individuals with amoral or religious objection to these proce-dures, essentially forcing them to pay for theservices received by others.

In 2006, then Senator Barack Obama em-phasized the “need to understand the criticalrole that the separation of church and statehas played in preserving not only ourdemocracy, but the robustness of our reli-gious practice.”

This country was founded by people offaith. Would our country even exist today orwould we enjoy the many freedoms we’vecome to take for granted without their com-mitment to follow their beliefs” It’s onething for the people of the country to collec-tively alter their rights. It’s something verydifferent for those rights to be chipped awayby a few non-elected bureaucrats with thesimple draft of a document.

While we may all believe it is importantfor every American to have access to qualityhealth care, we need to stand firm on sacrific-ing our First Amendment rights in pursuit ofthat goal. If as a united people we do notstand now and be counted, what will be thenext challenge forced upon a people who forover 235 years have relied on its governmentto protect the freedoms our forefathers diedto win and preserve?

Viewpoint

Shielded from physical harm by asturdy skull and partially shieldedfrom the rest of our body by a mem-

brane that prevents both the entry of nox-ious chemicals and the egress of importantnutrients from damaging delicate braincells, our brains have remained the mostcomplex and poorly under-stood organ on Earth. But thiscomplexity has not stopped in-vestigators from making sig-nificant advances in our un-derstanding of this marvelousbit of biology.

As a result, in the last 60years both our knowledgeabout brains and our ability toact on that knowledge have ex-panded immensely. Before the1950s it was thought that ourbrain became fixed in its struc-ture by about 20 years of ageand remained largely im-mutable and biochemically in-ert after that age. At that time we also hadno real knowledge of how brains storedmemories. Now it has been shown that formemories to be stored and retrieved bothphysical and chemical changes must occur inspecific regions of the brain. This implies, ofcourse, that brains have some plasticity

throughout life and are capable, under theright circumstances, of undergoing change,for better or worse depending upon theevents that induce this change.

Recently, a study of the brain processesunderlying the formation of “pecking or-ders” among individuals of the same species

has been undertaken. First itwas found that a tiny region ofa mouse brain was a key areadetermining the rank order ofthat individual in a group.Then it was learned that thekinds and amounts of chemi-cal and electrical signals com-ing from this region to otherparts of the brain were capa-ble of inducing the behaviorsthat characterized a particularmouse’s relationship to his orher peers. Using techniqueslearned from genetic engi-neering studies, scientistsfound they could induce the

brain cells in this region to secrete one of twochemical signals; one would increase thedominancy of the treated mouse, the otherwould increase the submissiveness of the an-imal. Starting with a group of four mice thathad a spontaneously established pecking or-der, the researchers, by inducing the release

of one or the other of these two chemical sig-nals, caused the most dominant mouse to be-come the most submissive and a more sub-missive one to become the dominant one.

In a related study using monkeys, it hasbeen found that housing these animals inlarger groups increased the amount of nervecell density in specific regions of their brainsand that greater cell density in these areaswas associated with a higher social rankingwithin the group. Similarly, brains of hu-mans who have large social networks havesubtle anatomical differences from thosewho have small social networks. The re-search with monkeys implies these differ-ences may be an effect, not a cause, of the so-cial network size of individuals.

Thus we have not only greatly advancedour understanding of the chemical and cel-lular underpinnings of brain functioning butare now beginning to correlate changes atthat level with those at the behavioral andsocial levels. Hopefully, this type of researchwill ultimately lead to improved treatmentof some of the disabling ‘mental’ distur-bances that afflict our species.

Hester's History (cont.)My father, Luke Rist, worked on the

farm and raised potatoes, corn, oats, ryeand buckwheat. He cut hay and wood tosell; he also sold potatoes. He nearly al-ways had horses and a nice big flock ofcattle and many sheep. I was told that atone time he owned and kept two hundredsheep, although I think I never countedthem, but I never doubted that with thesheep and the lambs there were two hun-dred. We children helped to care for them.My father was a Christian man and hadat times even preached the gospel and al-ways through his life and the life of mymother with him. They harbored and en-tertained ministers and Christian work-ers.

In spite of his many years of manual la-bor, he always took time for familyprayers in the home two or three times aday and did always take time to attendchurch and gospel services — many timestaking loads of people in his wagon andsleighs to church. He often told us chil-dren, "You have got the best mother in theworld."

surpass that figure, prompt-ing the end of the temporarycap in three to four years.

Supervisors questionedwhether the cap might leavea shortfall in the 2012 coun-ty budget. County Superin-tendent of Public Works JeffTennyson replied that onlythe $81,958 was penned intothe budget as revenue. Henoted that the primary im-pact of Iowa Pacific’s pro-posal was that the county’srepair reserves wouldn’t ac-crue as fast in the next fewyears.

Ellis noted that his firm

had purchased insurance tocover major bridge failures.

Simpson said that the rail-way hosted 52,251 passen-gers between July 23 andDec. 31, and expected toreach 90,000 for the first fullyear of operation. Eightypercent, he said, were board-ing the train in Saratoga.

The track upgrades wouldinclude about 1,170 feet ofnew rail, and new ties — anaverage of 80 per mile — aswell as 84,000 feet of newballast, or crushed stonefoundation under the rails.Crossings would also be im-proved.

The result, Ellis said,would be a decrease in trav-el time between Saratogaand North Creek by up to 15minutes, reduced unexpect-ed delays to the scheduleand a smoother ride for pas-sengers.

Ellis noted that the im-provements wouldn’t allowthe trains to move faster,however, than the 30 m.p.h.limit for Class 2 track under

federal regulations. Upgrad-ing to allow a far higherspeed wasn’t possible be-cause of tight curves in thenorthern portions of theroute, he said.

County officials said theupgrades were to improvethe rail line for the long termand to avoid expensiveshort-term repairs, mostlikely with the expectationof carrying freight over theline.

The existing contract callsfor Iowa Pacific to pay taxeson the line — about $14,000per year — maintenancecosts, as well as track repairsless than $50,000.

Iowa Pacific is also cur-rently seeking state trans-portation grant money tohelp bankroll track improve-ment. A source at the countysaid that the track improve-ments were being pursuedby Iowa Pacific with the an-ticipation of transportingfreight over the line.

Iowa Pacific has appliedto federal transportation au-

thorities to being haulingfreight across the 28.7stretch of tracks betweenNorth Creek and Tahawus.

Based on objections by en-vironmental groups, the fed-eral Surface TransportationBoard initially denied IowaPacific’s petition for an ex-pedited permit to operate onthe line, and the rail firm hasappealed the decision,which is expected to prompta full review by the agency.

The environmentalgroups seek to have the railbed returned to Forest Pre-serve.

Ellis has said that the 29-7mile stretch has always beenprivately held, and federal

endorsement of its use maynot be necessary.

Iowa Pacific had an-nounced its intent to haulthousands of tons of minetailings away from the NLindustries mine at Tahawus.

Warren County officials,support Iowa Pacific’s plan,because it would not onlycreate needed jobs and eco-nomic activity, but clean upan expansive rock pile inwhat is considered a pristinearea.

Jan. 20, the county Boardof Supervisors unanimouslypassed a resolution support-ing Iowa Pacific’s intent toresume freight service alongthe line, and they vowed to

lobby legislators to enable it.Various towns in the re-

gion, as well as the EssexCounty Board of Supervi-sors and the IntercountyLegislative Committee ofthe Adirondacks, have alsopassed resolutions support-ing train travel along theline.

When the Warren CountySupervisors voted for themeasure, staunch railwayopponent William Kenny,Glens Falls 5th Ward Super-visor, even voted for themeasure — his first ever fa-vorable vote on a railway is-sue. His action prompted ap-plause and cheers from theother supervisors.

its content prior to themeeting. Although the pub-lic has the right to be pres-ent, the ability to under-stand or contribute to thedecision-making processmay be minimal and frus-trating.”

This change to the OpenMeetings Law was made so“those interested in thework of public bodiesshould have the ability,within reasonable limita-tions, to see the recordsscheduled to be discussedduring open meetings priorto the meetings.”

The change to the lawcenters around two types of

records: 1) those that are required

to be made available pur-suant to the Freedom of In-formation Law (FOIL);

2) and proposed resolu-tions, law, rules, regula-tions, policies or amend-ments thereto.

When these records arescheduled to be discussed,they must be made avail-able to the public “to the ex-tent practicable, either pri-or to or at the meeting.”

In order to comply withthe amendment, copies ofrecords must be madeavailable to the public pri-or to or at the meeting for areasonable fee or by post-ing them online prior to themeeting.

The Committee on Open

Government also defineswhich boards are requiredto put this material on theirwebsites:

“If the agency in which apublic body functions (i.e.,a state department, a coun-ty, city, town, village orschool district) ‘maintains aregularly and routinely up-dated website and utilizes ahigh speed internet connec-tion,’ the records describedabove that are scheduled tobe discussed in public‘shall be posted on the web-site to the extent practica-ble as determined by theagency…’

The state recommendsthat agencies put their ma-terials online to save costsassociated with requestsmade under FOIL.

More on Tahawus railroad spurTo the News Enterprise:This is to comment on Glenn Pearsall's let-

ter of Jan. 25 on this subject. First, my inten-tion in my letter was not to be so presump-tuous as to give anyone a "history lesson" onthis subject. I did not write that headline.

Second, there are several dictionary defi-nitions for "wanton." My use of the wordwhen I said that the federal governmentwantonly violated the Forest Preserve whenthey took the right-of-way for the rail spurwas"having no regard for justice or therights of other persons." In fact, the fedswere moving so fast that they started to cutdown the Forest Preserve before botheringto initiate eminent domain proceedings,putting the State in the embarrassing posi-tion of either enforcing our State constitu-tion, as they were sworn to do, and be ac-cused of holding up the war effort, or justturning a blind eye. Their solution was to getthe feds to speed up the eminent domainprocess — also embarrassing on the record.

Putting jobs over the State constitution isnot the right way to go, especially when tak-ing out waste rock (that can be obtainedfrom quarries anywhere) and magnetite ironore tailings from solidly frozen piles thatonly have a few years of life left in them willproduce only about 5 or 6 jobs at most. Justa couple of NL Industry employees wereneeded to load the magnetite ore tailingsthat have been sold since the 1990s andmoved by truck.

Protect the Adirondacks!

Thoughts on railroads, resortTo the News Enterprise:When reading your most recent piece on

the reopening of the D&H rail line and inthinking about the approval of the Adiron-dack Resort in Tupper Lake, I was remindedof the Pied Piper story. Here the children ofan old township are led away by the en-chanting music of the Piper ’s magic flute astheir minds are filled with blissful visions.With the Pied Piper of economic prosperityonce again playing his flute I, too, listen butthrough the filter of skepticism.

The way I understand it we are to fullysupport the rail line that will require a sub-stantial investment of time and money to fixthe line, clear the track, and repair thebridges just to haul out stone from theTahawas facility. Then when the stone runsout the line will once again stop at NorthRiver and haul garnet out from BartonMines. All this justifies the time and expenseas well as the potential impact on the expe-rience of other users.

By the same token, Tupper Lake andFranklin County are to risk investing in theinfrastructure for the resort project on thepromise that home owners will beat a pathto Tupper Lake; in this real estate market?Forgive me for being skeptical, but I wouldlike more than just the assurances of the lim-ited piles of tailings. Oh the sweet sound ofthe flute!

INDIAN LAKE/LONG LAKE — After thesuccess of one year ago, most people werelooking for a dip in the performance of theIndian Lake/Long Lake varsity girls basket-ball team.

After all, their leading scorer, CarliReynolds, was off to college, along with amajority of the team’s offense. Certainlythey could not come even close to repeatingthat 2010-11 success without those pieces.

Or could they?The Lady Orange have been a force in the

Mountain and Valley Southern Division thisseason, compiling a record of 12-2 andpoised to once again be a top seed in the Sec-tion VII/Class D playoffs.

It’s success like this that turns basketballteams into basketball programs, and headcoach John Reynolds knows that.

“I would hope that people think of us as abasketball program, certainly,” Reynoldssaid. “We have won our division three yearsin a row, been to the sectional semifinalstwice and won the sectional title last sea-son.”

Reynolds said that the success has broughtin players with a desire to play winning bas-ketball.

“Winning breeds more winning,” he said.“I don’t think people expected us to do whatwe have this season, but this has been just somuch fun.”

Reynolds said that offense has been awork in progress for his team, but that theircommitment to the defensive end of the floorhas allowed them to score a lot of key wins,including one over northern division leaderElizabethtown-Lewis.

“We are young and tall,” he said. “Thegirls are starting to look for their shot moreand when we can get into the half court of-fense, we are able to run our plays.”

Reynolds said that he is very happy for theplayers on the 2011-12 squad, who he feelshave, “paid their dues,” to get to where theyare.

“One of the reasons that we have remainedgood is because we had good, competitivepractices over the past three years,” he said.“This is a great opportunity for those kidswho have paid their dues and they are suchcool kids. They are smart, they listen andthey work hard. They are just fun to bearound.”

For those who need snow for the enjoyment of theirfavorite winter sport, this has been a frustratingseason as above normal temperatures and below

normal snowfall have resulted in a lack of significantsnow cover.

However, this is not an unprecedented year as there havebeen other years with very little snowfall. One always re-members the 1980 Winter Olympics when there was so lit-tle snow that artificial snow was made and spread on thecross-country trails at Mt. Van Hoevenberg in order for thecross-country ski race to be held there.

More recently, in the winter of 2006-2007, we had only 3inches on the ground at the end of January. This lack of nat-ural snow lasted until the Valentines Day storm whichdumped 29.8 inches on the 14th and 15th.

During the winter of 2000-2001 there was not a lot of snowuntil March when we received 59.2 inches, the most for anymonth on record. At the end of that March we had 38 inch-

es of snow on the ground here in Riparius. Our maple sapbuckets were put out directly on foot and taken down onsnowshoes, the opposite of what happens most seasons. So

those who like snow may yet get their wish.The average high temperature was 29.2 degrees and the

average low was 14.6 degrees giving us an average of 21.9degrees, 3.5 degrees above normal and the 8th warmest onrecord. The warmest Januarys were in 1995 and 2002 whenthe average was 26.9 degrees and the coldest was in 1994when the average was 8.3 degrees. The highest temperature,40 degrees, was recorded on the 7th and the lowest, -11 de-grees, was recorded on the 16th. There were 6 days with be-low zero readings compared to an average of 7. There were1335 degree days bring our seasonal total to 4096.

Melted precipitation for the month was 2.93 inches, withthe greatest amount, 1.08 inches, falling on the 26th and27th. Measurable precipitation fell on 16 days.

Snowfall was again below normal as only 13.4 inches fell,6.4 inches below normal. We have had 11 winters with lesssnow in January, with only 3 inches falling in 1992. The to-tal snowfall may be surprising to some but there was meas-urable snow on 14 days. However, most of the days wereunder 2 inches, with the largest snowfall being only 5.4inches on the 12th. Our seasonal total is now 28 inches, 14.6inches below the normal of 42.6 inches.

The river reached its highest level, 4.79 feet, on the 29th,and its lowest level, 3.51 feet on the 10th.

There’s a history of Adirondack winters with little snow
