BOAT RIDE
Adam Retersdorf and his pup Lexi were seen Monday taking advantage of mild early December temperatures for a final boat ride
on the Great Sacandaga Lake. Retersdorf, a mechanical engineer at General Electric, decided to take one more spin before
winterizing this custom 26-foot replica of a 1928 race boat he built. Retersdorf is president of Reets Boat Works in Mayfield.
County supervisors cast tax cap aside
By JAIME STUDD
For the Express
JOHNSTOWN — Despite repeated
pleas from residents throughout the
budget process, the Fulton County Board
of Supervisors voted Wednesday to override the state mandated 2 percent tax cap,
subsequently adopting a 2012 budget
with an average county tax rate of $11.57
per $1,000 of assessed value, a 5.5 percent increase over last year.
With a proposed budget that included
a tax levy increase of 6.37 percent, which
is 2.61 percent over the 3.76 percent allowed by the cap, and little else available
to cut, most supervisors felt that they had
little choice but to override the cap.
An overwhelming majority of the
board voted to override the cap, with just
three of the board’s 20 supervisors dissenting. Those who did would have preferred the board appropriate additional

Once again, the Hudson
River-Black River Regulating
District is scrambling to
amass enough funds to fulfill
its obligations to the
Mayfield, Northville and
Broadalbin-Perth school districts.
In August, the the agency,
which governs the Great
Sacandaga Lake, managed to
deliver the more than $3 million it owed the schools and
Fulton County for two year’s
worth of unpaid taxes, but the
move severely drained the
regulating district’s coffers
and left the Black River arm
of the agency, from which the
money was transferred, just as

Cap

fund balance to cover the gap.
As of Monday, $1.5 million in
fund balance had already been
applied to minimize the levy
increase.
Most, however, saw any
additional appropriations from
fund balance as detrimental to
the county’s future financial
solvency.

Supervisor Linda Kemper,
who voted in favor of overriding the cap, described the entire budget process as “gut-

wrenching.”
“It was a tough decision
for me,” said Kemper on the
resolution to override the cap.
“I was originally grossly opposed to it, but sitting session
after session after session, and
cutting everything right to the
bone that we could, you just
have to realize there’s no other
way. There’s just nothing more
we can do.”
Kemper said the decision
not to use more fund balance in
order to meet the tax cap was
one based on projections of future fiscal uncertainty for the
county.
“There were a lot of things
put in revenues that were one
shot deals for 2012,” said
Kemper. “We’re trying to look
to the future and realized that
we cannot jeopardize the entire
county by pulling that money
out of the fund balance.”
Kemper said her decision
to override the cap was also
based on numerous calls she
received from residents desperate to retain critical county
services.
“From what we’ve heard,
people don’t want their services cut any more than they already are, and I will never support doing away with the
Sheriff’s Department or the
Office for the Aging,” said
Kemper. “We’ve hacked and
hacked and gone line by line,
but there’s just no place else to
cut. We can’t just think about
next year, we have to look at
the years after and it would put
the county in a very dangerous
position to pull more out of
that fund balance.”
Fulton County Treasurer
E. “Terry” Blodgett agreed.
“They could have taken
more fund balance, but I
thought it was very intelligent
of them not to do that,” said
Blodgett. “Our fund balance is
in a critical position right now
and we shouldn’t take it any
lower than it is right now.”

Blodgett lamented the fact
that the supervisors were even
put into the position of having
to choose between critical
services and higher taxes in the
first place.
“None of this is a good situation,” said Blodgett. “When
you have to continue to cut
back services and increase
taxes, it’s just a bad situation.”
“Medicaid is the culprit
right now,” he added.
“Between that and all the retirement increases and the
healthcare increases, it’s just
killing the smaller counties.
Everything rolls down hill and
we’re just at the end of hill, unfortunately.”
Describing the process by
which the state said the tax cap
must be overridden as a “political gimmick,” Administrative
Officer and Clerk of the Board
Jon Stead feared the importance of the fact that a budget
was adopted was being lost in
the process.
“Ultimately, the important
part is whether the board
adopts a budget at any given
level,” said Stead. “You’d like
to be able to do a zero increase
every year, but it doesn’t always work out that way.”
Voting against overriding
the state mandated cap were
Gloversville 5th Ward
Supervisor Michael Rooney,
Stratford town Supervisor
Robert Johnson, Jr. and
Oppenheim town Supervisor
George Capek.
The adopted budget features $93,168,680 in total appropriations. J

So, when this year’s tax
bills came due at the end of
October, it came as no surprise to anyone when the
money failed to arrive.
“It’s my understanding
that when they paid that last
amount, that $3 million, they
pretty much broke the piggy
bank,” said Fulton County
Treasurer Terry Blodgett.
“They don’t have the revenues to pay it.”
Unfortunately for the
school districts, Blodgett
could not be any more accurate.
According to Mike Clark,
executive director of the
HRBRRD, there is simply no
money available to pay the
overdue taxes.
“We paid the previous
two year’s taxes by liquidating assets and transferring
them from the Black River
area, the other component of
the regulating district, and we
did that to pay those taxes and
arrears, and we did that with
every effort,” said Clark.

“However, we have no reserve left whatsoever.
“It’s blood from a stone,”
he added. “We do not have
the funds to pay those
presently.”
However, the regulating
district is not without hope
that it may soon have the financial wherewithal to settle
the debt. Clark and the district
are currently awaiting word
on whether five Capitol
Region counties will be successful in their appeal of a recent court decision requiring
them to pay the regulating
district for the flood control
measures it provides those
communities. The district is
seeking payments from
Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga
and Washington counties.
“We expect to receive
that money and as soon as we
do, we will meet our obligation,” Clark said.
Clark said the district intends to use the funds it receives from those five counties as an annual revenue
source for both its school and
property tax payments.
“We are working on that
on a daily basis. We don’t
have the money to pay them
at present and the thought is,
and not only the thought, the
guarantee, is that as soon as
we do, we will pay those
taxes,” Clark said.
When asked if the district
had made plans to make the
tax payments should the
counties prove successful in
their appeal, Clark said,
“We’ll deal with that when
we get there.”
For the school districts
struggling to balance their
own minus sizable portions
of their tax base, those words
provide little comfort.
“It makes it difficult,”
said Mayfield Superintendent
Paul Williamsen. “There’s no
question, because it means
$372,000 to Mayfield and
that’s a lot of teachers.
“We need the money,” he
continued. “The whole state is
certainly in a fiscal mess, and
I understand that Hudson
River has some issues, but
they’ve certainly had plenty
of time to work this through
and try to come up with a solution.”
Despite the passing of the
Oct. 31 school tax deadline,
there are little, if any, avenues
available to the school districts to recoup the unpaid
funds.
According to Northville
Superintendent
Kathy
Dougherty, the districts must
wait until April 1 for the county to decide whether it will reimburse the schools the regulating district’s unpaid taxes

CRAFT SALE, LUNCHEON
The Town of Day’s holiday craft fair will take place Saturday, Dec.
10, at the town hall, 650 N. Shore Road, Hadley. The Community
Projects Committee has planned the event. A soup and sandwich
lunch, along with a “box of cookies” sale, a silent gift basket
auction, and a special appearance by Santa will round out the
afternoon. For more, go to www.townofday.com. ABOVE: Day

“Really, truly, right now
our hands are tied; there’s
nothing we can do,” said
Dougherty. “I’ve been in consultation with our lawyers,
obviously, and until such time
as that deadline passes and we
haven’t been made whole by
the county, there’s no action
we can take.”
According to Dougherty,
the school district is still required to record the regulating
district’s taxes in its as a
source of revenue, further impeding its ability to remain
somewhat fiscally viable.
“It actually goes into our
budget as unreceived revenue,” said Dougherty. “We
essentially use what we have
in fund balance to cover it
until such time as we get it
and that was the difficulty in
the last few years. District’s
have a difficult time enough
now that don’t have this issue,
that don’t have the regulating
district owing them money, so
it’s like a double- whammy on
our fund balance.”
According to Blodgett,
the decision whether or not to
make the school district’s
“whole” will ultimately be
that of the Board of
Supervisors, but he expressed
little optimism in the county’s
financial ability to do so.
“I don’t think anything
has changed since the last
time. The county’s financial
situation is no better than it
was last year or the year before that,” said Blodgett. “Is it
gonna happen? I can’t say yes
or no, but if we had to go by
the financial situation of the
county, we’re probably worse
off in a financial situation
than we were a year ago or
two year’s ago.”
Blodgett said the matter is
likely to play itself out in the
courts all over again if the
taxes remain unpaid.
“I think it’s gonna be a repeat of what happened again,”
said Blodgett. “That shouldn’t
have to happen. I mean nobody wins in this situation.”
Both Dougherty and
Williamsen can do little but
hope that their districts will
receive the money they so
desperately need, whether it
be from the county or the
HRBRRD itself.
“I trust that they (HRBRRD) are behind the scenes trying to work something out and
make something happen
here,” said Williamsen.
“Being one of our largest tax
payers we need some assistance from somebody on this
matter.”
Dougherty said, “I would
like to hope that Fulton
County would see the way
clear to making us whole as
they do with other properties
whose taxes haven’t been
paid.”
As the legal owner of the
land immediately surrounding
Great Sacandaga Lake, the
HRBRRD owes the Mayfield
School District $372,000, the
Northville School District
$337,000 and the BroadalbinPerth
School
District
$230,000 for the 2011-12
school year. J
JOHNSTOWN — Fulton
County Sheriff Thomas Lorey
confirmed Monday the identities of the three teenagers involved in Sunday night’s fatal
car accident at the intersection
of Route 29 and the Steele
Avenue Extension.
Nineteen-year-old
Christopher “CJ” Insogna, of
Caroga Lake, a passenger in
the vehicle, was pronounced
dead on scene. His sister, 17year-old Kelsey Insogna, also
of Caroga Lake, was ejected
from the vehicle and remains
in critical condition at Albany
Medical Center; she was airlifted there immediately following the accident. The driver, 19-year-old Justin Van
Nostrand, of Gloversville,
was treated for his injuries
and released from Albany
Medical Center Monday
morning.
Though he originally described the incident to be one
that involved racing, Lorey
said Monday that he now believes the accident occurred
when Van Nostrand, driving a
black Ford Mustang, attempted to pass two other vehicles
on the Steele Avenue
Extension while traveling at
speeds up to 100 mph.
“They were traveling together in three different cars,”
said Lorey. “Mr. Van Nostrand
pulled out and passed the
other cars and obviously came
upon the intersection faster
than he thought he was
gonna.”
After failing to stop at the
stop sign, Van Nostrand’s vehicle traveled across the road,
hit the embankment in front of
a house and crashed into a
truck parked in front of the
home before flipping over the
truck and crashing into the
house itself. The car landed
vertically against the house,
resting on its front bumper.
According to the siblings’
aunt, Stacy Elmendorf, the
two were en route from a
birthday party held at the
home of the Insogna’s grandparents in Meco.
“They had left their
grandparents’ house and met
up with Justin,” said
Elmendorf. “They were just
out together. We don’t know
what they were doing.”
The accident took place at
approximately 7:45 p.m.
Sunday night, forcing officials
to close a portion of Route 29
for several hours. Responding
to the scene were the Fulton
County Sheriff’s Department,
the Johnstown Area Volunteer
Ambulance Corps, the
Berkshire Volunteer Fire
Department, Fulton County
Ambulance Service. Also on
scene were Fulton County
Coroner Margaret Luck and
Fulton County District
Attorney Louise Sira.
Lorey said he expects
charges to be filed.
“There will be some
charges, but we’re going to
confirm with the district attorney before we decide what
they are,” said Lorey.
Sira said the matter remains under investigation.
“CJ” Insogna, a member
of the Meco Volunteer Fire
Department, graduated from
Wells Central School last
June.
On Monday, guidance
counselor Sharon Parslow described Insogna as “such a
nice kid.”
“I really liked him,” she
said. “A really good, polite
kid. He will be terribly
missed.” Parslow said grief
counseling will be available at
the school, which Kelsey
Insogna also attended for part
of her junior year.
Elmendorf said Monday
afternoon that Kelsey
Insogna, a senior at
Johnstown High School, is in
the pediatric intensive care
unit at Albany Medical Center
with severe injuries.
“Kelsey needs a lot of
prayers right now; she’s in
pretty bad shape,” said
Elmendorf. “We’re asking for
prayer. We appreciate everyone’s concern. The family has
a lot to go through.”
No one was injured in the
house that was struck by the
car. The residence was the
home of Milton Feldman, who
was struck by a car and killed
almost three weeks ago, while
attempting to cross the road in
front of his house. J

Garden Club holds
its holiday luncheon
In
November,
the
Sacandaga Garden Club held
their annual holiday luncheon, and fund raising auction
at Lanzi’s On The Lake in
Mayfield. Members and
guests were over 70 in attendance, and the auction raised
a record amount for the organization. The club and it’s
members pride themselves on
community outreach efforts,
and beautifying local community
venues.
The
Sacandaga Garden Club has
27 members and meets eight
times a year usually in the
Bradt Building on the first
Thursday of every month.
The club partners with
the Federated Garden Clubs
to offer a full scholarship to
cover camp tuition for one
week for a student age 12 to
14 at the Department of
Environmental Conservation
program at Camp Colby in
Upper Saranac Lake.
Locally, recent recipients
of this scholarship have been
Carissa Henderson, Emily
Krom, Arthur Hoffman and
Megan Frasier.
Students who are interested should submit a letter
stating why they wish to attend the camp, along with a
letter of recommendation
from a teacher to us at
POBox 675, Northville, NY
12134. The deadline for applications hasn’t been announced yet but it is usually
around the second week in
January so get them in early.
The Sacandaga Garden
Club made wreaths which
have been hung at the Bradt
Building, the Northville
Northampton Museum, the
Northville Post Office, the
American Legion Post 1076,
and the Northville Public
Library.
Wreaths are also made
for Edinburg, Day and
Benson. They also give seasonal gifts at Christmas and
Easter to those who are not
able to get out and enjoy the
holiday festivities.
In 2009 the club dedicated the Blue Star Marker that
sits in front of the Bradt
Building to honor all who

clubs November luncheon.
serve in the armed forces,
past, present and future. They
have created and maintain a
garden bed alongside the
marker filled with perennials,
annuals and bulbs.
Club member Margreet
Monster leads the work to
maintain the gardens at the
Northville Public Library and
Carol Reutzel creates seasonal decorations for the door
and window box.
Club was asked by the
Northville Girl Scouts to help
out in their community garden this year and many members volunteered their time in
weeding, watering and harvesting.
This year, in keeping
with the clubs theme of
Giving Back to the
Community they are holding
three special presentations
open to all and held in the upstairs meeting room of the
Northville Public Library. In
October, the first presentation
was on cactus and succulents
and will be followed in
March and April with lectures on orchids and wildflowers. The speakers are acknowledged experts in their
fields and we have refreshments for all afterwards.
Club is very grateful to
everyone for supporting their
efforts and early next year
they will be talking about
other projects they can undertake for the community.

Permit system defended
in federal appeals court
MAYFIELD - On Dec. 2,
Sacandaga
Protection
Committee (SPC) attorney
Benjamin Ahlstrom of
Hodgson Russ LLP, along
with attorneys for the Hudson
River Black River Regulating
District and the NYS Attorney
General’s Office, presented
oral arguments before a three
judge panel of the United
States Court of Appeals for
the Second Circuit in New
York City.
Niagara Mohawk appealed a 2010 Federal District
Court decision by US District
Court Judge Norman A.
Mordue.
Mr. Ahlstrom argued
against Niagara Mohawk’s
claim that the permit system is
illegal and must be eliminated. In the case, titled Niagara
Mohawk Power Corporation
v. Hudson River ñ Black
River Regulating District, the
plaintiff power company
sought a refund of more than
$5 million in assessments paid
to the regulating district, plus
interest.
Niagara Mohawk argued
that the Federal Power Act
preempts virtually all of the
regulating district’s activities,
including operation of the
Great Sacandaga Lake Permit
System, maintenance of the
watershed, and even flood
control.
Niagara Mohawk also asserted that the permit holders
should be charged as beneficiaries and pay greater costs to
the Regulating District.
The SPC has also sought
permission from the New
York State Supreme Court to
intervene in twenty related
lawsuits challenging the
Regulating District’s assessments of Niagara Mohawk
and threatening the permit
system and the region’s tax
base. J

The Edinburg community came together on Saturday to welcome in the holiday season. The fire house was filled with
goodies and refreshments for kids young and old while Freckles
the Clown made balloon sculptures for all the kids, and
Fritzann Farm took people on horse-drawn sleigh rides. The
excitement escalated upon Santa’s arrival. He would meet with
each boy and girl, and share age-appropriate gifts with each
one. Community members and local businesses made possible
additional raffle items for the children. The afternoon culminated as the Rev. Brian Gould shared a holiday blessing, and
Santa lit the holiday tree located at the Edinburg Four Corners.

Northville girls soccer coach Chris Edwards was
named the New York State Class D Coach of the

Homestead. society members decorated the site, inside and out, in the spirit of an old-fashioned Christmas. The 1790 room was
filled with homemade cookies, and the scent of mulled cider filled the air. Live demonstrations were held in the barn where
Arlene Rambush and Barbara Hojohn spun wool while Libby VanNostrand weaved on an antique loom. Folk artist Teddi Knapp
also demonstrated her art. Musical entertainment was provided with Harry Izzo, Dave Hazzard, Larry Shepard and Bob Flynn
on Saturday and Ermina Pincombe, Tom Black, Judy Black, Paul Gavry, Sally Peck and Pam Broiles on Sunday.

Sacandaga ice fishing contest dates announced
The first
of GSL’s annual ice fishing contests
- the one
sponsored
by the Fish
House Fish
& Game
By
Club -will be
RON
held on
KOLODZIEJ
Saturday,
Jan. 14.
The Jan. 28, 2012 annual
Walleye Challenge Ice
Fishing Derby is also rapidly
approaching and here are the
details of that event.
The entry fee is $30 and
pre-registration is required.
No registrations will be accepted after Dec. 31, 2011
and participation in this contest is limited to the first
1,500 entrants.
This may seem like a lot
of entrants - and it is - but a
number of potential participants were turned away last
year, after that number had
been achieved. A total of
$45,000 in cash and merchandise prizes will be
awarded - $1,000 per hour
plus $9,000 in miscellaneous
prizes plus drawings for
ATV’s or snowmobiles (three
will be awarded.)
The hourly prizes for the
four largest walleyes entered
each hour will be awarded in
the following fashion - $550
for first place, $300 for second place, $100 for third
place and $50 for fourth
place.
Because these four prizes
will be awarded for the four
heaviest walleyes entered
during a specific hour of the
event, it is possible that the
fourth place walleye during
any one hour may actually be
larger than the winning walleye in another hour.
The contest will run from
7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and you can
fish anywhere on the lake.
You will be allowed on the
ice prior to the 7 am starter
but only to drill and clean
holes and get your gear
ready. No tipups may be set
up and used prior to the starting time.
You’ll be issued a wristband after you register for
the event and it must be worn
throughout the contest in
order to prove your registration. When you get that
wristband be certain to not
lose it since no replacements
will be available.
The wristbands can be
picked up at the Fuel N’
Food Store on Route 30,
Mayfield, after Jan. 1, 2012.
OUTDOORS
Also, all members of your
fishing party must be registered in the event and also
have wristbands.
No fishing will be allowed in any ice shanty or
tent. In other words, you can
spend all the time you wish
in a shelter but all your fishing gear must remain outdoors and in plain sight.
There will be two weigh
stations for the Walleye
Challenge - one out on the
ice in front of Lanzi’s on The
Lake and the other, also on
the ice, in front of the State
Boat Launch on Lakeview
Road, Broadalbin. You can
bring any walleyes to be entered in the event to either
one of those weigh stations
but all prizes will later be
distributed at the main location at Lanzi’s on the Lake,
where all the other prizes
will also be distributed.
You’ll find all the details
you need on the sheet that
accompanies the registration
form but if you have any
questions or need more information you can call the

GSLFF ICE FISHING
CONTEST
The Great Sacandaga
Lake Fisheries Federation’s
annual ice fishing contest
will also be held on
Saturday, Jan. 28, the same
day as the big Walleye
Challenge event.
While the Challenge is
strictly a walleye contest, the
GSLFF event will offer
$1,500 in prizes in the northern pike, perch and trout divisions, meaning you can
now enter just about anything you catch in one contest or the other.
The Fisheries Federation
Contest will be headquartered at the Sacandaga
Boating Club which will also
serve as the sole measuring
station. Judging will be by
length and the contest hours
will be 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The entry fee is $15 per
person though youngsters 12
and under can participate for
free if fishing with an adult
who has paid the entry fee.
Three prizes of $300, $150
