Classification hearings have started on the 20,758 acre acquisition by the state. Over the past week I attended two hearings on the topic and I am worried. The green groups have packed the Ray Brook hearing location with their people calling for the entire property to be classified as Wilderness. That’s right, no snow- mobile use! No ability to drive in a few miles and park! And no bicycles! Most importantly, no through trail connecting Newcomb to North Hudson!!!! The whole concept of an intercon- nected system on the east side of the Park is destroyed. Big “Thank You” to the clubs and NYSSA Directors who showed for the Northville hearing. You made it a much more balanced What is wrong with this picture? All those green shirts are speakers that the audience. environmental groups bused into Ray Brook to call for Wilderness! Only one other snowmobiler attended to speak up for Wild Forest! Many of you have signed petitions over the past two months. Nearly 3,500 signatures have been sent in. If you still have a petition it is not too late to get it completed and sent to me by December 15, 2016. But I have to ask you to do more. There are several more hearings yet to come. Attend one of those hearings and add your voice to the many that are calling for Wild Forest. If you cannot attend, please write and send in your comments to the APA. We have suggested talking points (see next pages) for you to use in your letter. In addition there is a lot more information about the Boreas Ponds including video at www.accessadk.com . If we all speak up together we can get what we need! Dates, locations and times of public hearings are: Nov 21 7 PM Schroon Lake Central School, 1125 Route 9, Schroon Lake Nov 28 7 PM RIT – Golisano Institute for Sustainability, Sustainability Hall, Rochester Nov 29 6 PM St. Lawrence County Human Service Center, 80 State Highway 310, Canton Dec 6 7 PM Bear Mountain Inn, 3020 Seven Lakes Drive, Tomkins Cove Dec 7 2 PM NYS DEC – 625 Broadway, Albany Comments can be mailed or emailed - before December 30 - to: Kathleen D.

As a kid, when other families went south or hi- bernated in the dead of winter, my family headed to the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York to ride. I can't think of a better way to spend a cold, crisp wintry day than on a freshly groomed trail! I am a mom. Snowmobiling is a family sport enjoyed by millions of people. When my husband and I started our family, one of the first things we thought of was how fun it would be to teach our children to ride. Although our boys are still young (3.5 years and 2 years), you can bet their eyes light up when they see a "Vroom" as our oldest affectionately referred to sleds until he could pronounce the word 'snowmobile'. I am an entrepreneur. A mompreneur, to be exact. While expecting our first son, my husband— who also rides—and I thought snowmobiling would make the perfect theme for the nursery. I had visions of whimsy snowflakes, plushy snowmobiles, and downy covered trees. To our sur- prise, nothing like this existed—anywhere!. So I set out to create a line of snowmobile-themed, USA-made, baby and toddler clothing and accessories - to help get your youngest future riders started on the right trail! I hope you love what you see at Snowmobaby™...there is a lot more to come! Happy trails! ~Lisa Lisa Krug, Owner & Founder Snowmobaby™ Contact NYSSA: PO Box 1040, Pine Bush, NY 12566-1040 * EMAIL - [email protected] November 2016 - Page 8 TOLL FREE: (888) 624-3849 * FAX: (888) 317-2441 * www.nysnowmobiler.com NYSSA Online Magazine Trail Coordinator Report by Jim Rolf, NYSSA Trail Coordinator 888-624-3849 x 102 [email protected] SEASON FAST-APPROACHING Club Trail Work by Volunteers Lots of pre-season trail work/groomer prep going on from the amounts of calls/emails that I have been receiving. I hear from some clubs that are having good luck with new volunteers helping out, but conversely from some others that say “it’s the same ole people every year”. If you are reading this and like the trails you get to ride on in your area or any other area, the club that maintains those trails would LOVE to have some help getting the final preparations to sign and open the trails up for the 2016-17 season.

  • Adirondack Poetry: "Beneath Every Stone Hides a Poem"
    Adirondack Poetry: "Beneath every stone hides a poem" The following bibliography was developed by SLU student Holly Brown ’14 during a summer fellowship in Special Collections, Owen D. Young Library, St. Lawrence University with library staff from special collections and digital collections… In her 1958 bibliography, Dorothy Plum took a broad geographic view of what the “Adirondack” region included. Upon consideration, we have narrowed our definition somewhat. For the purposes of this bibliography an Adirondack poem is • Set within the administrative boundary of the Park known as the “Blueline” • Does not include Lake Champlain • Does not include pre-19th century poetry of the Revolutionary and French and Indian Wars No bibliography is ever really complete, and we view this one as a work-in-progress.

  • 1 the Piseco Lake Shear Zone
    VALENTINO AND CHIARENZELLI B2 - 1 THE PISECO LAKE SHEAR ZONE: A SHAWINIGAN CRYPTIC SUTURE IN THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS, NEW YORK By David W. Valentino, Department of Atmospheric and Geological Sciences, SUNY Oswego, Oswego, NY 13126 Jeffrey R. Chiarenzelli, Department of Geology, St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY 13617 Email addresses: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Highly deformed Piseco granitic gneisses occur in an arching east-west transpressional ductile shear zone (Piseco Lake shear zone) that spans the width of the exposed southern Adirondacks. The highly deformed granitic gneisses have restricted silica content, are metaluminous, alkali-calcic to calc-alkalic, continental arc trace element signatures. These granitic rocks intruded supracrustal gneisses resulting in extensive Shawinigan partial melting. The Piseco Lake shear zone (20-30 km wide) formed in this belt of granitic rocks and correlate with a pronounced arcuate-shaped high magnetic anomaly. The magnetic anomaly extends well beyond the exposed Adirondack basement window. The shear zone is 20-30 km wide and is believed to be the location of a cryptic suture because it occurs between the Adirondack Highlands (underlain primarily by anorthosite and related granitic rocks, AMCG suite) and the Southern Adirondack Terrane (underlain by calc-alkaline tonalitic arc rocks) (Valentino et al., in press). Within the shear zone, the original megacrystic granite contains lineated quartz and rodded feldspar aggregates up to a meter long in places. Along the axis of the shear zone there are thick (1-2 km), subvertical zones of granitic L-S and L- tectonites. The northern domain of the zone is defined by large foliation domes that are cored by L-tectonite.

  • MARCH—MAY 2016 No 1602
    MARCH—MAY 2016 No 1602 Microspikes! That’s been the go to equipment for this “winter” of weird weather. They can make the difference in deciding whether to stay home or go for a walk or hike on an icy trail. It’s mid-February as we put this newsletter together, and I’m still hoping for a little snow to play in. March can go either way and I’m starting to feel like winter might not really happen! Either way, we’ve got some great spring outings to look forward to, as well as our annual Chapter trail work on Tongue Mountain. Hope to see you at one of the programs described within this newsletter or out on the trail! Wednesday, March 30th 7pm at Crandall Library, GF Hiking the Continental Divide Trail: One Woman’s Journey presented by local hiker and author, Jennifer Hanson Jennifer Hanson will share the tale of her 2,400-mile six-month back- packing trip from Mexico to Canada along the Continental Divide Na- tional Scenic Trail (CDT). Using excerpts from her book Hiking the Continental Divide Trail: One Woman’s Journey and a slide-show of dozens of photographs, Jennifer will share the challenges and thrills of long-distance hiking. The journey included trekking through arid ranchland, desert forests, and Indian reservations in New Mexico; the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area and Glacier National Park in Montana; the remote and rugged Bitterroot Range of Idaho/Montana; the Wind River Range and Teton National Forest in Wyoming; and hundreds of miles snowshoeing through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
