Catskill Mountainkeeper joins fight against NYRI
Press Release
Youngsville -- Catskill Mountainkeeper has joined several other environmental advocacy organizations and state officials by filing a rehearing petition contesting the Department of Energy's designation of two National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors. The preservation group’s action is on response to New York Regional Interconnection’s proposed plan to build a power line from Oneida County to Orange County.
One main argument stressed in the rehearing is that the "DOE did not effectively communicate with states in determining the corridors." Along with that argument the Department of Energy has not yet completed an Environmental Impact Statement on the corridor designations, the Catskills group said."The Department of Energy, in its ruling regarding NYRI, has not complied with the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, or the Federal Power Act by designating these NIETCs," Catskill Mountainkeeper Executive Director Ramsay Adams said. "Catskill Mountainkeeper is committed to fighting on behalf of the communities in the regions affected by this proposal." The group said the NYRI power line would run some 190 miles and “undermine our region’s fragile economic development (and) permanently devastate and displace local wildlife, including endangered and threatened species.”

Mountainkeeper Speaking at Farm Discussion
Discussion to look at Catskill farming
Link is here: http://www.thedailystar.com/archivesearch/local_story_262041504.html
The Catskill Center for Conservation and Development in Arkville will host a discussion of Catskills farming culture from 1 to 3 p.m. with guest speakers Sally Fairbairn and Wes Gillingham.
The two sessions will compliment the current Erpf Gallery exhibit, "Farming Culture," featuring paintings by Stu Eichel and Laura Hussey.
In her discussion "The Making of a Natural Farmer," Fairbairn will center on her own development as a farmer and environmentalist, including some discussion of why her farm is not organic. She will talk about the farm she is operating now and how it differs from what she used to do. The presentation will be punctuated with a few of Fairbairn's original poems, and she will talk about her recent piece in The Place You Call Home, the Northern Woodland magazine. Copies of this publication will be available free of charge.
Fairbairn was born and raised in the Margaretville area. Her parents, Morton and Emmeline Scudder, owned Riverby Farm on Route 30. She attended New York University and majored in English, intending to be a high school English teacher, but left after one year. She returned to her farming roots, marrying local veterinarian Dr. John Fairbairn and running their Halcott Center dairy farm with him for many years. After they retired from dairy farming, she raised sheep for a few years, moving to the Fairbairn family's land in Rider Hollow outside of Arkville during the late 1980s. Her farming life came full circle when her older son decided to become a dairy farmer.
Fairbairn said she has tried to combine farming and writing without much success, and is a past president of the M-ARK Project and Writers in the Mountains. She is a member of the Watershed Agricultural Council and a trustee of the Catskill Water Discovery Center.
Gillingham will present "A Half-Mile from the Road," a brief history of Wild Roots Farm and how it went from a cabin in the woods to a 150-member community-supported agriculture program. Gillingham will discuss how the CSA model builds community, as well as the philosophical, political and practical choices his family dealt with to build a business, contend with major flooding, have two children and build an ecologically appropriate log home in seven years. In addition, the group will discuss animals as part of the farmstead, creating a CSA, looking toward the future crops for tomorrow and more.
Gillingham grew up on the ridge above Livingston Manor. He started working on a dairy farm next door as a "waste management specialist" for 90 cents an hour when he was 12, and worked there until going to college. After college he started working for the National Audubon Society Expedition Institute and became an acting director in the field program. Gillingham taught at AEI with the belief that the best way to learn about the environment is to experience it directly. He led full-semester programs in Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Newfoundland, Florida, southern Appalachia, the desert Southwest, the Pacific Northwest and Gulf Coast. During this time, Gillingham said he gained a passion for and recognized the need for healthy local food. He and his wife, Amy, have been growing organic vegetables and herbs commercially since 1997.
Gillingham served on the board of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York and the Sullivan County Farm Bureau. Over the last year, he and a coalition of partners launched the Catskill Mountain Keeper, a nonprofit advocacy organization whose mission is to protect the ecological integrity of the Catskill Mountain range and the quality of life of all those who live there.
The Catskill Center is a nonprofit, membership organization working to foster healthy ecosystems and vibrant communities in the Catskills.

Billboard shows casinos' bad side
Billboard shows casinos' bad side
Catskill Mountainkeeper, a newly formed anti-casino organization based in Youngsville, put up this billboard on westbound Route 17, just east of Exit 116 in Bloomingburg.Times Herald-Record/MICHELE HASKELL
By Victor Whitman
Times Herald-Record
August 29, 2007
Wurtsboro — The newest casino billboard on Route 17 doesn't say "Casinos Mean Jobs!" "Jobs Now!" or any of the other slogans that pop up on glossy billboards on the way to Sullivan County.
"What's the point of living in the Catskills if the traffic's as bad as in the city?" this huge billboard says, above a picture of a traffic snarl snaking through the green Catskill mountains.
"Say no to casinos in the Catskills."
Catskill Mountainkeeper, a newly formed nonprofit based in Youngsville, put up the 12-by-48 foot billboard this week on the westbound lane near Bloomingburg at the county's gateway. This is the first time a casino foe has anted up the needed $5,000 to $10,000 to get a billboard up on Route 17.
The group is also gathering signatures to send to Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, asking him to reject the St. Regis Mohawks' application for a $600 million casino at the Monticello Gaming & Raceway. The Wisconsin-based Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans want to build a casino in Bridgeville. That tribe was recently in Sullivan County, touting its planned casino on the Neversink River.
"Right now we think it is a critical period," Mountainkeeper's executive director, Ramsay Adams, said. "We also believe there are a large percentage of people who oppose another Atlantic City in Monticello."
The Mohawks and Empire Resorts, owner of the Monticello Raceway, didn't return telephone calls or e-mail messages yesterday.
The sign will be up for at least three months. For now, it will probably be the only anti-casino billboard among a chorus of the pro-casino type. "I don't see a billboard war on 17," Adams said.

Catskill Mountainkeeper group raises casino traffic issue
Youngsville – The Catskill Mountainkeeper organization Monday launched a campaign to urge Catskill residents and visitors to speak out against the casinos planned for Sullivan County.
There are two casinos proposed in Sullivan, one at Monticello Raceway and the other at Bridgeville.
The Catskill Mountainkeeper group has purchased billboard space on the Orange/Sullivan border going westbound on NY Rt. 17 with the message, “What’s the point of living in the Catskills if the traffic’s as bad as in the city.”
Its executive director Ramsay Adams said casinos will likely cause significant traffic congestion on NY Rt. 17.
“There’s no way to mitigate, in the near future, the impact of traffic,” he said. Each casino and developer has looked at the impact of their one casino. “No one has looked at the impact of multiple casinos.”
Michael Edelstein, president of Orange Environment, Inc., said Rt. 17 is the “main street of our region” and one or more casinos “will have a severe impact on our mobility.”
Say no to casinos in the Catskills: Send a message to Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne today.

Teens trek through Westchester on 150-mile environmental hike

Teens trek through Westchester on 150-mile environmental hike
By MARC EPSTEIN
THE JOURNAL NEWS
(Original publication: July 28, 2007)
YONKERS - Twelve teenagers tracing the route of New York City's drinking water got a guided walk along the Croton Aqueduct yesterday on the next to last day of a 150-mile hike.
The trip marks the 10-year anniversary of an agreement between upstate communities and New York City to protect the source of the drinking water, which travels more than 100 miles to serve 9 million people in New York City and its suburbs.
Bob Walters, former director of the Beczak Environmental Center in Yonkers, led the teens from Brooklyn and upstate Sidney on the Yonkers leg of their journey.
"It's great to have this gang visit on their journey to the city," Walters said.
The three-week trek, which also included about 50 miles of rowing, started July 7 in the Catskill Mountains and ends today at Central Park in Manhattan. The group camped outside Beczak on Thursday night before continuing its journey yesterday. The hikers stayed in Ossining earlier in the week.
The hike is run by Catskill Mountainkeepers, among other environmental organizations.
"Water is going to be an issue of the future," said Wes Gillingham, 47, of Livingston Manor, N.Y., who is leading the trip to help educate the 15- to 18-year-olds on New York City's water source. "I would like to see this happen every year."
"It's one of the core things that we need to do," Rebecca Miner said of educating people about the water supply. The 17-year-old heard about the trip from her chemistry teacher at Sidney High School.
Gabe Torres, 18, of Brooklyn said he went on the hike because people are wasting water. "In the city, a lot of people abuse it or don't use it for the right reasons. It seemed like something I should do," he said.

The birth of Catskill Mountainkeeper
The birth of Catskill Mountainkeeper
Seeking a vision
By FRITZ MAYER
MONTICELLO, NY — A new environmental and planning group aims to create a vision for the region and prevent “ill conceived, out-of-scale development.”
The group’s name is Catskill Mountainkeeper, and is modeled after Riverkeeper, the environmental group that played a crucial role in bring the Hudson River back to life after it was nearly killed by industrial pollution in the middle of the 20th century.
Mountainkeeper launched itself on May 10 with a news conference on the lawn in front of the Sullivan County Government Center. The organization boasts an impressive list of supporters.
The board includes the president of the Open Space Institute, the organization that buys land to be preserved as open space in the Catskills. Another board member is on the board of the National Resource Defense Council, the group that is battling the proposed Mohawk casino over environmental issues. Another board member is a member of the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development. And another board member is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Joseph Martens, the chairman of the Mountainkeeper board, said the group’s main mission is to establish a vision for the seven counties situated in the Catskill Mountains: Sullivan, Ulster, Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Schoharie and part of Albany County.
Martens said the Catskill region is at a crossroads, and Mountainkeeper intends to create a “network of citizens” to advance the goals of smart planning.
Ramsey Adams, the executive director of Mountainkeeper, said the organization, which will open an office in Youngsville in July, would be funded through individual donations, grants and fundraising events.
Wes Gillingham, a local organic farmer who is the organization’s program director, said the group would be joining the fight against the New York Regional Interconnection power line project. He said farmland protection would also be at the top of the group’s agenda. “These mountains have shaped the kind of people we are, ” he said. He hoped that Mountainkeeper would help ensure that his children will be able to continue to enjoy the same quality of life that he has as a lifelong resident of the region.
More information about the group can be found at www.catskillmountainkeeper.org.
Discovery Center CEO remarks
Patrick Dollard, CEO of The Center for Discovery, the largest private employer in Sullivan County and an organization that has been at the forefront of green technology initiatives here, spoke at the Mountainkeeper news conference.
He said in his role with the center, which treats people with disabilities, he has become convinced that the environment is inextricably linked with the development of human genes. He said he is seeing more and more that grandparents are becoming concerned about how pollutants such as mercury and PCBs are having a negative impact on the health of their grandchildren. He said there is evidence that environmental conditions may be linked to diseases such as autism and neurological disorders, and certainly to ones like cancer.
He said, “People need to pay attention to human environmental impacts, to what we’re doing to our food, water and air.”
He envisioned that Catskill Mountainkeeper could play an important role in pursuing that agenda.
Group Wants to Preserve Catskills, Legacy
By Patricia Breakey
Delhi News Bureau
A group has formed to unite residents of the Catskill region in preserving the quality of life.
Catskill Mountainkeeper started with the idea that an advocate was needed for the 6,000-square-mile region that encompasses Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Schoharie, Sullivan and Ulster counties and a portion of Albany County, Wes Gillingham, organization spokesman, said last month.
"The Catskill Mountains have a regional identity that other areas in the state don’t have," Gillingham said. "We can take advantage of that by creating a regional task force."
Gillingham, a vegetable farmer, said he wants to work to protect the Catskills.
"I live here, I farm here, and I love living and working here," Gillingham said. "I want the Catskills always to have a quality of life my family and neighbors can enjoy.
"The last thing my neighbors and I want to do is fight traffic and see the farms and forest land taken over by haphazard development," he continued. "Some parents talk of wanting a better life for their children. I just want my kids to have some of the simple freedoms I had as a child.
"These mountains have really shaped the kind of people we are here in the Catskills, and now it is time for us to shape what these mountains will look like in 20 years and beyond," Gillingham said. "That’s why I decided to take on what I see as a crucial job for our region’s future."
Another Catskills farmer, Amy Kenyon, said recently that she "is hoping to work to give the people who live and work here a voice in what’s happening in their town. I want to see local folks getting involved. It’s their community, and it’s their issues."
Kenyon, president of Farm Catskills, a Delaware County-based group intended to strengthen farming in the region, added, "If our rural character is to survive, we need a good regional vision that protects our region’s wonderful vistas, open spaces and farmland _ the things that make us different."
Gillingham added that because the area is so large, "it’s hard to keep track of what’s happening on the other side of the mountains," so the group plans to utilize the Internet to keep in touch.
"We have a modern, capable website where people can register and become part of the group," Gillingham said.
Ramsay Adams, executive director, in a media release said, ``Our goal is to bring together people who have never talked with each other and have them join in the fight to preserve the Catskill way of life.’’
On its website, http://www.catskillmountainkeeper.org, the group will post updates on regional development news, operate online discussion boards and provide campaign-organizing advice and tools.
Registration is free, Gillingham said.
"Residents of the Catskills are as diverse as in any place on earth," Joe Martens, group chairman, said in a media release. "But one thing everyone can unite on is that this is a special region that needs its people speaking up so that its tremendous cultural and natural resources stay intact."
The group’s priority is to push for a comprehensive, regional vision that takes into account thinking about smart growth and wise use of the area’s natural resources, Martens said.
"We all know there’s a great deal of development pressure on the Catskills, but we also know there are good and bad options under review this very moment," Tom Alworth, a Catskill Mountainkeeper board member and Catskill Center for Conservation and Development executive director, said in a media release.

Catskill Mountainkeeper Launches
2007-06-06 00:15:15 - Group seeks to unite residents from all parts of the Catskills to protect
open space and promote smart growth in the region's villages, mountains and valleys
Monticello (June 5, 2007) - Catskill Mountainkeeper, a grassroots group intended to unite the entire region's residents in the battle to preserve the quality of life here, announced it is open for business at a news conference in front of the Sullivan County Government Center.
'Residents of the Catskills are as diverse as in any place on earth, but one thing everyone can unite on is that this is a special region that needs its people speaking up so that its tremendous cultural and natural resources stay intact,- said Joe Martens, the group's chairman. 'Catskill Mountainkeeper will build an active network of citizens to make that happen.-
Martens also is the president of the Open Space Institute, one of several groups sponsoring Catskill Mountainkeeper.
The group's key priority is to push for a comprehensive, regional vision that takes into account new thinking about smart growth and wise use of the area's natural resources, Martens said. Working with other established groups, Catskill Mountainkeeper then will organize citizens across the region's counties to contribute their ideas for the region's future as part of that process.
At the news conference on May 10th, 2007 members held poster-board cutouts of the region's six counties (Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Schoharie, Sullivan, Ulster, plus a portion of Albany County, which is geographically in the Catskills), bringing them together in a symbolic illustration of the regional unity that the group plans to foster.
The group offers free membership in keeping with its goal of having a broad spectrum of citizen involvement.
'With a combination of the web and plain old shoe-leather organizing, our goal is to bring together people who have never talked with each other and have them join in the fight to preserve the Catskill way of life,- said Ramsay Adams, the executive director of the new group.
On its website, www.catskillmountainkeeper.org, the group will post updates on regional development news, operate on-line discussion boards and provide campaign-organizing advice and tools.
'We all know there's a great deal of development pressure on the Catskills, but we also know there are good and bad options under review this very moment,- said Tom Alworth, another Catskill Mountainkeeper board member and the executive director of the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development, another sponsoring organization.
'When it's out-of-scale, non-sustainable proposals like the massive casinos proposed for Sullivan County, Catskill Mountainkeeper can help get the word out - and make sure that those who want clear air, open space and a great quality of life win the day for our region,- Alworth added.
'I live here, I work here, and I love living and working here, and I want the Catskills always to be a place I am proud to live in,- said Wes Gillingham, Catskill Mountainkeeper's program director and also the co-owner of the Wild Roots Farm in Sullivan County.
'The last thing my neighbors and I want to do is fight traffic, see the countryside taken over by haphazard development or breathe polluted air - so that's why I decided to take on this job,- said Gillingham, 'Our vision of the Catskills is for economic success by focusing on the industries that we do best, like the resurgence of farming, tourism based on the enjoyment of our natural beauty and vibrant downtowns.-
Another Catskills farmer, Amy Kenyon, said she is looking to Catskill Mountainkeeper to provide farmers and other local residents with the tools to get their voice heard.
Kenyon also is president of Farm Catskills, a Delaware County-based group intended to strengthen farming in the region. 'If our rural character is to survive, we need a good regional vision that protects our region's wonderful vistas, open spaces and farmland - the things that make us different,- said Kenyon.
Patrick H. Dollard, the chief executive officer of The Center for Discovery - Sullivan County's largest employer - also endorsed Catskill Mountainkeeper.
The group will open an office in Youngsville, Sullivan County, this June. Other major sponsoring organizations are the Natural Resources Defense Council and Audubon New York.
