Logging Update The logging should be done soon and then they will be doing the clean up and once they are done, Jim will look over the land and will start trying to get some sort of plain going for trail clean up and work. Events Update The only event that we will be hosting this year is going to be the ATV Pulls at the Washington Country Fair on August 26, 2007. Anyone available to work please let one of the officers know. All other events have been cancelled due to the cost of insurance. So anyone with a fund raiser idea please let us know to help offset some of the cost of the lease. Raffle Tickets Reminder: anyone that has not sent in their sold tickets please do so and remember we need all tickets and money back to us in time to do the drawing at the August meeting. NOTE TO ALL MEMBERS This is a reminder letter to all membership. I was contacted by the forester from Finch Paper and they are asking about a campsite that has been made across from our suicide trail. This location they have come across has a trap hanging from the trees along with a fire ring. The problem here is there has been some tree cut done and that is a direct violation of our lease. Finch Paper will be meeting with Jim G on Thursday so they can show him the location that is in question and Jim should have more on this at the meeting Thursday night, so if any one knows about this please contact one of the officers on it. I would like to take this time to remind all members about the tree cutting issue—if you see anything that you think should be cut, please do not cut it—just contact Jim so he can look at it and if need be, he will contact Finch on it to get the okay for the cut. This does not include any thing that is down and dead—you may cut that. Moak * * * * * North Country ATV Association NYTRO of Eastern NY A division of NYTRO Inc.

Volume 15, Issue 8 Page 8 Sponsors Volume 15, Issue 8 Page 9 Rumblings Over ATV Park Proposal http://www.timesunion.com/ AspStories/story.asp? storyID=602590 Environmentalists, riders set to square off over planned facility in Adirondack State Park By BRIAN NEARING, Staff writer First published: Monday, July 2, 2007 JOHNSBURG -- A patch of Adirondack forest could reverberate with the sound of engines under a plan to create a 700acre park for all-terrain vehicles, which would be the first such facility in the six-millionacre state park. The proposal for land off Route 28 is drawing questions from the Adirondack Park Agency, criticism from environmentalists and support from ATV riders who have long complained that the state takes registration fees while barring the vehicles from public land in the Adirondacks. A proposal by Queensbury Falls residents Richard and Karen Mohring for a Glen Creek Road site filed in April with the park agency calls for about 30 miles of backcountry ATV trails, along with six tracks, including a drag strip, and more than 150 camping sites, six rental cabins and four single-family homes. The park agency is taking a close look, as shown by an 11page letter filled with follow-up questions on the project. "The potential for significant adverse impacts to these sensitive resources from the large- scale, intensive development is very real," wrote Deputy Director Mark Sengenberger. Environmental groups and ATV advocates appear poised to square off. This week, the Residents' Committee to Protect the Adirondacks opposed the plan. "This type of outdoor motor sports facility is an intensive and abusive activity that is not suitable for this land or for the Adirondack Park," said committee Executive Director Peter Bauer. "The soils are easily eroded, the property contains many steep slopes and extensive wetlands, borders Forest Preserve, necessitates the crossing of Glen Creek Road, and the noted trout stream Mill Creek/Beaver Brook meanders through the property." Gregg Urspung, an engineer from Saratoga Associates representing the Mohrings, had no comment Thursday. But Bob Ski, executive director of the New York State Power Sport Dealers Association, said ATV owners need places to ride because the state bars them from three million acres of public land. "Unless we form a managed program for this activity, sometimes ATV riders may be someplace where they should not be," said Ski, who is an adviser to the New York State Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle Association. "Trespass goes away if you provide the opportunity to recreate." In a state with more than 143,000 registered ATVs, there are six private ATV parks. Ski said more than 30,000 new vehicles are sold each year, but about 20,000 owners let their registrations lapse out of frustration.
