HEALTHY HAPPY ATTITUDES Sarah's News HEALTHY HAPPY ATTITUDES Harrietstown Housing Authority Volume 18 Issue 8 www.harrietstownha.org August 2018 Sarah’s News The summer heat is not slowing my work. I’m busier than ever. Not all of you know that the Housing Authority is affiliated with a small non-profit organization, the Adirondack Housing Development Corporation (AHDC). Since 2012, AHDC has managed the Helen Hill Apartments on the corner of Front and Helen streets in Saranac Lake. AHDC is paid for its manage- ment of the apartments and, because AHDC contracts with the Housing Authority for the staff to do this work, the Housing Authority also is paid. This revenue enables the Housing Authority to operate closer to its budg- et. AHDC has been working for more than two years to ready itself to acquire the Helen Hill Apartments and obtain funding to make needed upgrades. In May, New York State Homes and Community Renewal awarded AHDC an almost $700,000 loan/award to make many of the needed improve- ments. AHDC and the owner have a signed purchase and sale agreement conditioned on the satisfaction of certain terms – terms that are being addressed over time. If all progresses as hoped, AHDC will own the Helen Hill Apartments this fall and commence upgrades immediately. AHDC will continue to contract with the Housing Authority for staff; and, AHDC will continue to pay the Housing Authority for staff’s work. AHDC’s mission, in part, is to provide decent, affordable housing and re- lated community services and facilities designed to meet the needs and requirements of low income families and individuals. This can occur via the development, acquisition, construction, renovation, operation, maintenance, and improvement of rental housing and home ownership opportunities, and/or the provision of social, recreational, health, and other non-housing facilities and services in connection therewith. Its board is made up of three individuals from the Housing Authority’s Board of Commissioners and four individuals from the greater communi- ty. Allen Dunham is President and I am CEO. HHA OFFICE HOURS HHA BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 9:00am– 11:30am Chairperson: Jim Connolly And 1:00pm—3:30pm Dave Bauer Allen Dunham After hours Emily Fogarty Agnes “Liz” Latour Emergency call Eugene O’Dell number Dan Ruchkin 518-923-1082 Harrietstown Housing Authority EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Sarah A. Clarkin HOUSING ASSISTANT Debbie Zerrahn HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER SPECIALIST RESIDENT SERVICES COORDINATOR Irene Snyder FACILITIES MANAGER David Siegrist MAINTENANCE STAFF John Burns Robert Mathers ACCOUNT CLERK Tammy Burdt TID BITS FROM DAVID SIEGRIST Maintenance is fascinating. I kid you not. Tasks range from changing a lightbulb to clearing snow to prepping a unit for a new tenant. There is ALWAYS something to do. All work orders completed? Prep a vacant unit. No vacant units to prep? Mow the lawn. Grass not too long? Address some trip hazards. It can go on and on and on and on…. Reviewing work order data for 2017, maintenance staff responded to 457 work orders, 297 in the Lake Flower apartment building and 160 at the Algonquin complex. These work orders represent a lot of light bulbs, plumbing issues, electrical glitches, etc. Each one has the potential to be far more serious than realized at the beginning. While the Housing Authority’s grounds are not on a par with New York’s botanical gardens, our staff mow, trim, and sweep. In the winter, snow and ice are cleared. With the unpredictability of storms, work to clear snow can often in- terfere with other maintenance tasks. Looking back on the number of units that were readied for new tenants in 2017, 26 units were made ready for new tenants at Lake Flower and 13 units were made ready for new tenants at Algonquin. That’s a lot of cleaning, repair- ing, replacing, and painting. So, the next time you call in a work order, see the snow fall, or watch a neighbor move out, think about the mainte- nance staff and the work that awaits. RESIDENT NEWS AND ISSUES...By Debbie Zerrahn Hard to believe it is August already. Time to get the school clothes and supplies in order. July was very hot and hu- mid. Cooler weather is coming our way. Start thinking about where to store all the summer toys and lawn furni- ture. Make sure your back yard is neat and clean. Get ready for the ugly white stuff. Still have a month to enjoy the good weather. Get out, take a hike, ride a bike, or go for a swim. Enjoy the great Adiron- dack outdoors. Lake Flower residents, get outside and enjoy the picnic ar- ea. Have a BBQ, or take a walk. Enjoy the warm water. Go fishing. Before long, you will be back inside for a long win- ter.

    The Newsletter of the Hurricane Mountain Chapter of ADK Good Tidings July – October 2018 "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves." John Muir (1838-1914) Good Tidings July – October 2018 hair Words CA message from Chapter Chair, Christine Barnes COMMUNICATIONS! I would like to clarify how ADK communicates with you. First: The ADK Headquarters in Lake George has your snail mail address and the phone number (that you gave them when you joined) and if you chose to register your e-mail address with them, they have that too. You would then get periodic emails from them about activities, appeals or issues. This is only updated when you tell them to do so. Hurricane cannot change your information for you. Second: Hurricane Chapter gets our ‘snail mail’ mailing labels from ADK. So if your membership lapses, don’t expect to get anything in your snail mail from Hurricane or ADK – except maybe an appeal to re-join. (Please avoid this situation) Third: Hurricane has a ‘newsletter e-mail’ list which Leslie Shipps (our hero!) maintains. This is to get your newsletter electronically – and print it yourself. She adds your name to the list if you send her an e-mail at . [email protected] If you haven’t already done this – please do so unless you really cannot get email. Eventually, we will only send out electronic copies, unless there are special circumstances.

  • January 10Th
    JAN. 2015 — MARCH 2015 No 1501 Go Out And Try Winter Hiking! If you’ve always wanted to try winter hiking, or are just looking for a different kind of winter outdoor experience, we have a lot of outings to offer you! Jack Whitney is leading several snowshoe hikes, welcoming beginners with great advice on clothing and footwear for a comfortable experience. For our younger members, or those young at heart or romantically inclined, Jen Shepherd is leading some Young Members Group hikes including a special Val- entine’s Day Singles Mingle (couples welcome, too) that will be fun! And if you like a shorter, local trip, check out the offerings from Mo Coutant, Sarah King, Bill Schwarz, Rich Crammond and Reg Prouty. So, look at our outings calendar on page 7. Remember, the chapter rents snowshoes. Chapter rents snowshoes Program Snowshoes are at ADK Member Services in Lake George. Call 668- Adventures in and around the 4447 for reservations and hours. We have two pairs of men’s MSR Adirondacks with Peter Denali snowshoes, two pairs of women’s Tubbs snowshoes and two Fedorick pairs of children’s Tubbs snowshoes. When: 7pm Jan. 21 What: Presentation Chapter Members: $10/weekday; $15/weekend Non-Members: $13/weekday; $18/weekend Where: Crandall Library Adventures in and around the Adirondacks Most would agree that the High Peaks of the Adiron- dacks enjoy the spotlight when it comes to discussions among outdoor enthusiasts from our area. Let’s try some- thing different by letting chapter member Peter Fedorick take us on a pictorial journey to some other Adirondack gems in his presentation “Adventures in and around the Adirondacks.” Fedorick will show us often-overlooked images of paddling, hiking and biking available in our backyard, such as paddling Lens Lake, visiting the Tupe- los of Lincoln Mountain State Forest, and biking the back roads of Shushan.

  • Membership Update
    The Newsletter of the Hurricane Mountain Chapter of ADK Good Tidings July – October 2016 "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves." John Muir (1838-1914) hair Words C A message from Chapter Chair, Mary Jean Bland There are many people that contribute to the Chapter, the preservation of the Adirondacks we all love and the community around them, yet somehow stay behind the scene and often go unnoticed. I would like to take some time here to recognize a few of those special people. People I owe a special thank you to for their help, support and encouragement. Monique Weston for one has a heart bigger than the Adirondacks itself. She begs and twists arms to ensure we have warm, welcoming homes and hosts for our potlucks. She is always aware and involved in ensuring our environment is watched over and protected. She is there to protect individual’s rights and support social causes. And she is always willing to reach out and help anyone in need. She is truly a very special woman and someone who makes the world a better place. Along with Monique, I would like to recognize Nancy and Bob Kolhbecker. Here is a couple that has supported and worked for the Chapter for years. They are always willing to volunteer no matter what the need. They also do more than their share of leading outings and have certainly provided some unique opportunities.
