Essex Co. busts on casino By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex  County has left the table. Under  an  agreement  reached  May  21  between  the  State  of  New York and the St. Regis Mohawk  Tribe,  the  county,  along  with  seven  others,  will  not  be  eligible  to  house  one  of  three  new  gaming  casinos  proposed  earlier this year by Gov. Andrew  Cuomo. With  the  agreement,  the  St.  Regis  Mohawk  Tribe  will  pay  $30 million in payments owed to  the state along with 25 percent of  future gaming revenues. In  return,  the  tribe  will  continue  to  have  exclusive  gaming  rights  in  an  eight  county  zone  that  includes  Essex,  Clinton,  Franklin,  Hamilton,  Jefferson,  Lewis, St. Lawrence and Warren.

Egglefield Ford set to host fundraiser for hospital For the fifth year, the Elizabethtown-Lewis Chamber of Commerce members decorated the bridges in Elizabethtown with flower baskets, despite the pouring rain. The 38 hanging baskets were originally purchased with money from a 2009 Quadracentennial Grant. The flowers, potting soil and labor to hang the baskets is done by the Chamber of Commerce volunteers, just in time for the Memorial Day Parade. Watering and caring for the baskets all summer long is done by residents of Mountain Lakes Services.

Elizabethtown Community Hospital

Specialty Care Close to Home. Dr. Eugene Cassone brings his expertise to ECH each week. High-tech equipment, professional staff and new procedure area support a variety of specialty services.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Egglefield  Bros.  Ford  in Elizabethtown is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR Community program to the  local community again this year, in an effort to  raise  up  to  $6,000  for  Elizabethtown  Community Hospital. Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the  hospital for every person who test-drives a new  Ford vehicle on Wednesday, June 5 from 10 am  to 6 pm. The event will take place in the parking lot across from the hospital on Park Street in  Elizabethtown. The  test  drive  fundraiser  will  feature  many  different vehicles including the newly designed  Escape  and  Fusion,  along  with  the  Focus  and  F-150 truck. Also available for a test drive will  be  the  C-MAX  hybrid  vehicle  and  a  Mustang.  Egglefield Bros staff members will be onsite to  assist  with  test  drives  and  provide  additional  information about each vehicle. “We  know  that  funding  for  many  not-forprofit  organizations  comes  with  challenges;  hospitals  seem  particularly  vulnerable,  even  though  healthcare  is  incredibly  important,”  said  Dennis  Egglefield.  “Like  ECH,  Egglefield  Bros. Ford has been a part of this community for  generations – and like all community members,  we  believe  that  it’s  important  to  help  contrib-

ute to the hospital’s important programs – it is  a necessary part of our community. We’re really  excited to help raise money for the hospital.” The  more  people  who  take  a  test  drive,  the  more money that Ford Motor Company donates  to the hospital. Jane Hooper, community relations director at  ECH commented about Egglefield Bros. generosity. “I’m thrilled that Egglefield’s chose to organize  a  fundraising  event  for  the  hospital,”  she  said. “It’s so easy for people to contribute – simply test drive a car and the hospital benefits by  $20.  It  certainly  doesn’t  get  much  easier  than  that.” To  participate  in  the  fundraiser,  please  visit  the test drive location across from the hospital’s  main facility anytime between  10 am and 6 pm  on June 5. Participants  must  be  18  or  older  and  have  a  valid driver’s license and email address. There  is  a  limit  of  one  test-drive  per  household.  All  test drives will last approximately 7-10 minutes. Please contact Peter Allen at Egglefield Bros.  Ford  (873-6551)  or  Jane  Hooper  at  Elizabethtown Community Hospital (873-3003) for additional information.

‘12 Angry Men’ to take Willsboro CS stage By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com WILLSBORO „  Willsboro Central School students will  give an intimate performance with the audience taking to the stage for  their  portrayal  of  modern-day  Reginald  Rose’s  Emmy  AwardWinning Classic Drama “12 Angry Jurors.” The 12 student actors from grades four through 11 act out the  explosive drama of jurors trying to figure out if a young man accused of murdering his father is guilty. The audience will be right  there with the jurors as their debates move from logical to explosive and back to logical throughout the performance ending with  a conclusion that will determine if the defendant lives or dies.  “The school auditorium is vast and I wanted the students feel  the  intimacy  of  the  audience  plus,  I  wanted  them  to  think  differently,” said play director Derrick A. Hopkins. “The mind set  of  this  play  versus  presenting  a  musical  is  very  different.  I  put  (the play) into consideration because I love the intensity of the  drama and how the issues it addresses still is relevant in today’s  society.”  Connor  Sheehan,  a  ninth  grade  student  actor  who  plays  Juror Number 3, said to prepare for the part he and other student  actors must contain themselves to not overwhelm the audience. “We  get  really  into  the  scenes  and  sometimes  I’ve  gotten  up  quick and spilled something where the audience is going to be,”  said Sheehan. “Some of the fights we need to control ourselves.”  Taressa  Lacey,  a  ninth  grade  student  actor  who  plays  Juror  number 4 said getting into character was a great experience. “My  character  can  really  relate  to  the  case  because  she  came  from a slum and hasn’t seen her child for three years,” said Lacey. “My character says at one point he could feel the knife in his  chest like the father of the boy in trial.”  “People are going to see a lot of conflict between all of the jurors,” said Laura Klein, who plays Juror Number 8. “There is all  kinds of anger, logic and emotions in this play.” The jurors’ final verdict and how they reach it—in tense scenes  that will electrify those in attendance and keep them on the edge  of their seats!   Performances will be performed on May 30 and 31 at 7 p.m.  and June 1 at 2 p.m.  The production will be held on the Willsboro stage in the round.  Admission is $5 and seating is limited  to 90.

his week, the NCSPCA would like to  remind you of some of the benefits of  adopting a senior animal.  So often  visitors to the shelter are enthralled with  the antics of adorable kittens and puppies;  our older residents are often overlooked.   However, an older pet is sometimes an ideal  choice depending on your home environment, and the rewards to both you and your  new furry friend can be significant. The ASPCA lists several benefits of older  dogs in particular.  Here are a few that are  worth considering:  1) A puppy can mean a  commitment of anywhere from 8-20 years,  which may not be appropriate for elder owners or people with uncertain future plans.   Providing a home for an older job is still a  serious commitment, but a shorter one.  2)  Older dogs can be easier to train because  they have better focus and attention than  puppies.  3) They don’t require the constant  monitoring or attention of a puppy.  4) They  are through the teething stage and often  already house trained.  With all these benefits to an older pet, you might find an older  dog is exactly the right fit for your family! Our featured pet this week is Mazy, a

ongratulations to Jim Westover, Jr.  and Bruce Hoskins on their recognition recently for 50 years of  service as volunteer firefighters for Westport  Hose Company Number One. Both were  named to the department on the same day,  May 1, 1963, and both have also served the  ambulance squad over the years as well. Also honored at the Firemen’s Banquet on May 18 were Adam Cross for 10  years of service, Irwin Borden and David Golembeck for 15 years each, and  Judy Napper (our first woman firefighter)  and Phil Kneller for 20 years each. Irwin,  Judy, and Phil also serve on the squad. The celebration took place at the  Westport Hotel, and the fire department would like to thank the owners  and staff of that fine institution for their  outstanding hospitality and support.  It’s hard to imagine how different things  were back in the day, when these two gentlemen were named to the fire department.  For one thing, there were a lot more members, and the department generally had a  long waiting list of young go-getters eager  to serve. Now our towns are shrinking as

Staffordshire Bull Terrier-mix who has been  sponsored by a generous donor, so she is FREE  to adopt! Mazy is one of our senior dogs who  loves people and has a truly sweet personality.   She is particular about her dog friends  and doesn’t really like cats, but if you need a  best friend and a cuddle buddy, Mazy is your  girl. This gentle lady has been here far too  long and really needs to settle into a place she  can call her own. She is very laid back and  would easily blend right into your household.   Please stop by and meet this lovely lady.

young people follow the jobs to the cities  and small volunteer departments like ours  are struggling to survive. The certification  process is longer and more intensive as well,  which discourages new membership. All  that goes double for the ambulance squad. Many people are not even aware that if  they call 911 for a fire or a medical emergency  in Westport, as in many small towns in the  region, they will get a 100 percent volunteer response. These are your friends and neighbors,  people just like you who are ready to drop  everything when the pager goes off and scoot  off to the firehouse. People like Jim Westover,  Sr. and Bruce Hoskins, who have lived here  most all their lives and have answered that  call more times than they can remember. If you think that you might be interested  in volunteering, drop me an email and I’ll  be happy to let you know what’s involved.  Whether you’re young and eager or older and  retired, there’s much valuable service that you  will be able to offer. And there’s much that  you’ll get out of it, too. For one thing, you get  to meet people like Jim and Bruce. And that  counts for more than you could possibly know.

Law Enforcement officials learn to spot and fight animal abuse By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com LEWIS  „   Members  of  the  New  York  State  Humane  Association  joined with local law enforcement to learn about how to stop animal  abuse.  The workshop, titled “Investigating Animal Cruelty,” brought in experts to teach law enforcement how to best address the legal and emotional consequences of animal abuse May 11 at the Sheriff’s Department  in Lewis.  The workshop was aimed to address challenges in the legal arena of  fighting animal cruelty in accordance with state laws that provide penalties for animal cruelty/abandonment/neglect.  As a police officer, Sue McDDonough said when she entered the police force she had to learn about animal cruelty laws on her own. “Animal cruelty laws are found in the agriculture and markets law  and not the penal code and most police officers receive little to no training before entering the police force on how to approach an animal cruelty case,” said McDonough. “I became an expert because I went out and  learned as much as I could. I always loved animals and had horses so it  was very important to me.”  The workshop was held by the NYSHA, based in Kingston, and was  co-sponsored by the Essex County Sheriff’s Office and the NYS Division  of Criminal Justice Services. All members of the NYSHA volunteer their  time to hold these educational forums. About 40 people, including area

Casino

Continued from page 1 The  two  sides  have  been  in  disputes over gaming issues for  the past three years. “It’s not a huge disappointment  here,”  Moriah  Supervisor  Tom  Scozzafava,  who  pushed  the  discussion  about  gaming in Essex County, said.  “We knew that this was going  to be a long shot but hey, you  had to try it.” Scozzafava  said  that  while  the  deal  ends  the  hopes  of  a  county  gaming  facility,  it  is  good  news  for  the  state  as  a  whole. “I’m glad that the Governor  reached  an  accord  with  the  St.  Regis  Tribe  to  get  revenue  that the state can use, which in  the end could help everyone,”

Scozzafava said. “He has done  something  that  has  not  been  done in  a  while  by  going  in  and  bringing  closure  to  this  situation.” Still,  Scozzafava  said  that  there  are  other  options  that  could present themselves. “I  still  want  to  pursue  a  Riverboat-type  operation  on  Lake Champlain,” he said. “It  would be a huge draw for both  New  York  and  Vermont  and  any town that has a lake shore  port area. I know that there are  still going to be a lot of hurdles  with that as well, since you are  dealing  with  federal  waters  and two states.” For  now,  the  closest  possibility  for  a  gaming  facility  in  the  region  could  be  in  the  town of Putnam, a Washington  County  town  not  under  the

law enforcement and local animal rescuers, attended the session. The informational session included presentations by Dr. Harry Hovel,  a scientist who specializes in semiconductor physics that has taken on  researching  links  between  animal  abuse  and  human  aggression;  McDonough, who talked about the process of investigating animal cruelty  from the point of view of a police officer; veterinarian Dr. Holly Cheever  spoke about how she examines animals and how the police can help  her to determine if an animal has been abused; and Assistant District  Attorney Brian Felton about the evidence needed from police to take an  alleged animal abuser to trial.  “Police haven’t been trained, the laws around animal cruelty, A 7775A  are in the Agriculture and Market Laws, right now there is a bill that  would place the laws back into the penal codes where police will enter  the force trained to handle these cases,” said NYSHA Chairperson Patricia Valusek.

Relative Aggression Hovel said he became involved with research into the link between  animal  cruelty  and human aggression  about 15  years  ago.  Hovel  has  worked with the National Link Coalition, a group that includes researchers and professionals in a variety of human services and animal welfare  advocates that believe there are significant correlations between animal  abuse, child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, elder abuse and other  forms of violence.  Some people can ask animal activists why they give so much attention to animals when humans are in greater need. Hovel said people  agreement  that  was  reached.  Saratoga  County,  which  currently  is  home  to  the  Racino  in Saratoga, would be the next  regional site. “That  would  be  the  most  logical  place  because  I  do  not  think  they  can  live  on  just  slot games alone,” Scozzafava  said.  “This  would  allow  them  the  chance  to  expand  what  they offer.” Officials  who  brokered  the  deal  spoke  about it  after  the  signing. “By  working  together  and  finding  common  ground,  the  State and Saint Regis Mohawk  Tribe  have  reached  a  fair  and  reasonable agreement that will  grant the Tribe exclusive gaming  rights  in  the  North  Country,  and  provide  the  state  and  local  governments  with  their

share of revenues from the casino,”  Cuomo  said  in  a  statement.  “I  commend  the  collaborative  spirit  in  which  all  parties came together to forge  this agreement.” “We’ve  waited  many  years  for a Governor who was willing  to  sit  down  with  all  the  parties  to  the  land  claim  to  come  to  a  negotiated  settlement,” Chief Ron LaFrance, Jr.  of  Saint  Regis  Mohawk  Tribe,  added.  “Gov.  Cuomo  has  accomplished much in the short  time  we’ve  been  meeting  directly with him. He has given  us  assurances  that  our  outstanding  issues  will  be  dealt  with fairly.”  Franklin  and  St.  Lawrence  counties  would  continue  to  receive  revenue  sharing  from  the  deal,  receiving  $3.75  mil-

should see the mistreatment of animals not as an isolated incident but an  indicator or warning sign that other family members in the household  may not be safe. “If the legal system took animal cruelty more seriously, it could alleviate the system from processing criminals for crimes against spouses  and other people,” said Hovel. “If we reach these people early enough  then the system can get them help before it’s too late and stop the cycle  of abuse.”   Hovel pointed out that famous serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer,  Ted Bundy, and Charles Manson have a history of childhood abuse or  neglect and started their violent streak with animal abuse.  “No child is born saying I want to kill someone, there are predictors,  and we need to intervene before their violence escalates,” said Hovel.  Hovel said fighting animal cruelty would save human lives, prevent  much animal and human suffering, protect women and children, elders  and lead to far less human violence.  The New York State Humane Association has conducted animal cruelty investigation workshops for police and humane investigators across  the state for the past fourteen years, and previously has offered rewards  to bring forth information from the public to assist police investigations.  In addition, the organization actively lobbies to improve the animal protection laws of New York State.   For further information on the New York State Humane Association  and the work it does, please go to the website at www.nyshumane.org  and Facebook Page.

Community service helps build character P L

ocal  students  have  been  learning  a  lot  in  the  classroom  during  the  2012-13  school  year and are preparing for their finals and  Regent’s examinations as we speak. What we would like to draw attention to, though,  is the learning that has been done at several schools  this year that has had nothing to do with core curriculum  or  state  testing.  We’d  like  to  recognize  those  schools  that  have  place  a  value  on  not  only  the  education  that  takes  place  inside  school  walls  but also outside of those walls. Last  week,  Westport  Central  School  students,  under the direction of the student council, teachers  Westport 8th graders Noah Hart and Ronald Adam  Facteau  and  Cheryl  Phillips,  and  support  “Hoss” Logan help spruce up outside the Depot from  the  administration,  held  an  ‘Adopt-Your- Theatre last week. Town Day’ event throughout the community. Photo by Keith Lobdell Students  went  to  several  locations  in  Westport,  cleaning up streets, parks, trails, and buildings in a morning of service to the community that supports  them.    Each  class  was  given  an  assignment  at  locations  throughout  the  town  and  worked  throughout the morning to help clean up their community. While not traditional classroom learning, students did get a lesson from their day in the community. Most of the kids were smiling as they served, with one saying that they had more fun working  than they did during the field day events held afterward. The lesson is that serving the community you live in is always rewarding, something that you  can take pride in not only as an individual but as a collective.  Phillips and Facteau said that the day was created as part of the school’s focus on character education, especially when it comes to community service. More and more, schools are implementing a  community service aspect to the curriculum of the district, asking students to give a certain number  of hours working in the community and giving their time to others. The students at Westport Central School worked together to make their town a better place, and  they should be commended as a group for what they did. Earlier this year, students at Willsboro Central School held a school-wide food drive for the local  pantry. Once all the food was collected, the entire school formed a human chain from the entrance  of the school to the entrance of the food pantry, handing donations one at a time between each other  and working as one to show their support for the community. While these are two examples of school-wide service projects, there are many others that take  place throughout the school year. Students in the Elizabethtown-Lewis Art Club painted murals at  the Horace Nye Nursing Home and the Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad. The Schroon Lake  National Honor Society hosts community blood drives and Ticonderoga students shop to support  the local food pantry. All of these examples take learning outside of the classroom and into the real world, where perhaps the biggest lessons that young adults will need as they progress toward community citizens  can take place. In order for a community to function, everyone should play a part. What schools are now doing  is providing students not only with the tools to be a productive member of society when it comes  to book learning, but also when it comes to character development. Giving students the building  blocks of being strong citizens is vital in a world where reliance on each other is needed. We have  seen how communities locally and nationally have rallied around each other in times of crisis or  need, and giving students the chance to learn and grow through service to one other and the community ensures that the tradition of being there for others will continue well into the future. „

Keep the Ash Borer out To the Valley News: Dear Potential Vermont Campers, The Emerald Ash Borer is spreading vigorously and it is getting  closer  to  Vermont.  We  want  to  save  the  ash  trees  because  they are useful in many ways. First of all, the ash tree was one of  the first trees in Vermont. As a matter of fact, the Abenaki Indian  tribe  believed  they  were  created  from  the  ash  tree  and  people  continue  to  make  ash  baskets  today.  Next  ash  trees  are  a  good  source  of  lumber,  provide  food  and  habitat  for  animals,  make  forests diverse, and they will live long, even through floods.  The Emerald Ash Borer usually travels by firewood.  This insect, which is small and emerald green makes a D-shaped hole  in ash trees. Please keep your eye out for a D-shaped hole in ash  trees. If you suspect an Emerald Ash Borer, please contact: 1-866322-4512 or for more information check:  www.emeraldashborer. info It  only  takes  one  person  to  bring  the  Emerald  Ash  Borer  to  Vermont so please do not bring firewood to our state!

Letters to the Editor

the editors of the Valley News. Nor do I think it was necessary  to  cancel  all  the  accounts  in  an  emergency  meeting,  which,  yet  again, violated Open Meetings Law. The taxpayers money was never at risk, yet Supervisor Bartley said “someone with the town’s bank-account numbers could  empty  the  accounts  with  electronic  transfers,”  but  this  ignores  the fact that two town officials must sign off on all wire transfers.  It also ignores that for decades the town has sent out checks with  the account numbers on them. Tellingly,  no  authority,  other  than  the  newspapers,  has  contacted me about this non-issue. I believe the real issue should be  why taxes were increased when the town ended the year with a  million in cash, not a politically contrived “ security crisis.” It’s the time of year for persons interested in running for public office to pick up petitions to get on the Nov. ballot. Two town  council  seats  and  the  Supervisor  position  are  available  and  it‘s  this majority, this quorum, that you need to be concerned about. The councilperson job is not as difficult as you might think and  it pays about $3,800 a year. The Supervisor job is more difficult  and  essentially  full  time.  The  pay  has  varied  with  experience,  but ranges from $ 38,000-$45,000 including the County stipend. I  shall  not  be  running  for  office.  I  must  step  aside,  not  be  a  distraction,  and  let  the  election  process  play  out,  but  it  should  be obvious that the town needs people to step up. Honesty and  competence  must  prevail.  The  Valley  News  describes  a  “  clash  for  power  “  for  the  last  year-and-a-half,  but  it  actually  started  over five years ago and there‘s more to it than you know. E’town  really needs to normalize and the status quo is not going to get  us there. Ken Fenimore, Elizabethtown

Thanks to students To the Valley News: The students, faculty, and staff of Westport Central School deserve a big thank you and round of applause for their dedication  and hard work on Thursday morning, May 23, for their “Adopt  Our  Town”  spring  clean-up  project.  Seeing  everyone  in  colorful  shirts,  sweeping,  raking,  and  carrying  branches  and  twigs,  was heart-warming. Our community looks much nicer as we get  ready to welcome back summer residents and guests. An extra thank you goes to the planners and organizers of the  event, both at school and in the Town. Denny Westover and his  men  were  extremely  helpful  in  planning,  supplying  tools,  then  picking up bags and branches after the event. Thank you too to  Supervisor Dan Connell and the members of the Town Board for  their support. In  addition  to  improving  the  Town’s  appearance,  the  school  is teaching young people the value of contributing to the wellbeing of their community at an early age.  During  the  past  few  months,  teamwork  and  cooperation  between  Westport  Central  School,  the  Town,  and  the  Chamber  of  Commerce have never been better. Chamber members have been  and are bringing real-world knowledge and experience into Mr.  Adam Facteau’s business classes and members recently participated in the school’s Community Involvement Night.  We  hope  to  continue  our  community  spirit  and  partnership.  We  invite  students,  parents,  and  all  other  residents  to  become  involved as the Chamber and Town work to develop a sense of  community pride in a more long-term Town-wide beautification  effort in preparation for Westport’s Bicentennial in 2015.  Again, thank you to everyone! Happy Summer! Dee Carroll, President Westport Chamber of Commerce

their lives in the Boquet Valley.  It’s often easier to remember  and honor those soldiers we knew  personally.  Each year we mark their  graves with flags, hold a parade and  give speeches.  I am reminded of one  of them, Sgt. Justin Wrisley Garvy  of the 101st Airborne Division of the  US Army, who died 10 years ago in  Iraq.  Every time I drive down the  Stowersville Road in Lewis, and cross  the Garvey Bridge over the Adirondack Northway, I see his name on the  plaque and I am reminded of him. Other men and women, who  served their country, are laid to  rest in our new Veteran’s Cemetery on the Wadhams road.  The

members of the American Legion  Boquet Valley Post No. 551 honor  all veterans in Elizabethtown each  year and mark each veteran’s  grave with an American Flag.  But older soldiers are harder to  remember.  They fought in the Civil  War, the Mexican War, the War of 1812  and the American Revolution.  Some  returned to their homes in Elizabethtown, while others moved west  and built a home in the new states.  I  recently had the good fortune to get  to know one of those old soldiers.   For over a century his whereabouts  were unknown here in his hometown.    Basil Bishop was one of the nine  children who grew up in the hamlet

of New Russia.  He went to war in  1812 at the age of 23 when he was a  private in the 37th NY Militia, part of  the forces that fought the British in  Plattsburgh.  He returned to Elizabethtown, married and built the first Iron  forge at Split Rock Falls.  He raised his  family in New Russia and served in  the Elizabethtown government.  His  children attended local schools and he  was a member of the Baptist Church.     At the age of 56 he moved his  family west to Michigan and disappeared from the memory of those he  left behind.  150 years later, with the  magic of the Internet, I found him in  Marquette, Michigan.   His greatgrand daughter recently persuaded

the Veteran’s Administration to mark  Private Basil Bishop’s grave with a  Bronze Military plaque.  On May 1  of this year one of his great grandsons made the trip from Chicago  to New Russia to visit the home of  his ancestor, and the grave of Basil  Bishop’s father, Major Elijah Bishop, a  Veteran of the American Revolution.   Two centuries have passed since  Pvt. Basil Bishop marched with the  37th NY Militia, north on Route 9,  down Court Street, past where we  now stand, and into history.  Two  hundred years have passed, but  Private Basil Bishop is not forgotten.  Margaret Bartley Elizabethtown Supervisor

The  scenes  were  part  of  the  movie,  “Fort  Apache,”  which  was  directed  by  Westport  native Addison Mehr as part of his senior project  at NYU. “It was great to be able to shoot the film here  where I grew up,” Mehr said to a packed house  at  the  Whallonsburg  Grange  May  25.  “Thank  you all for coming out to see this.” “It is definitely a local boy made good story,”  David Reuther said. “This is a great turnout for  this movie.” Mehr introduced the movie and held a question  and  answer  session  following  the  15-plus  minute film. “It started out to be a short film that we wanted to be around 15 minutes. It was never sup-

posed to be a feature,” he said. During  the  film,  people  in  the  audience  would whisper to each other as they saw familiar site like the Stevenson Road Railroad crossing,  Camp  Dudley  Road,  Main  Street  and  the  Horse  racing  announcers  stand  in  Westport;  storefronts  in  Port  Henry  and  the  Palace  Theatre in Lake Placid. Many local names were also  listed  in  the  credits  to  the  movie,  including  a  number  of  people  who  were  in  attendance  for  what Mehr called, “the Adirondack premiere.” “Well,  that  was  a  weird  experience,  wasn’t  it?” Mehr said after the credits ended. “This is  such a unique story and something that I could  relate  to,  you  know,  the  small  town  boy  troubles.” Mehr said that the movie took seven days of  shooting,  followed  by  editing  and  putting  together the final cut. “I  wouldn’t  want  to  change  anything  about  this  because  there  is  something  very  magical  about it,” Mehr said. “A bunch of people came  together to put something like this together in a  short amount of time.”

Continued from page 1 classes. During the school year we started to think of a way to make  this an event for the entire school,” third grade teacher Michelle Rawson said. “I pitched it to Adam Facteau and Cheryl Phillips and they  took it to the student council and it took on a whole new life when they  got involved.” We received a lot of help from the administration and the board and  the Chamber of Commerce and town were very helpful,” Facteau said.  “It is an extension of the classroom and a compliment to the community service aspect of the character education.” “This is really a community service learning project,” Phillips said.  “Every student has been very involved and most everyone has a smile  on their face.” “I am incredibly proud of our school community reaching out  to  the  Westport  community,”  Principal  Michele  Friedman  said.  “They are so supportive of the school and this is a great way for  us to show, en masse, our appreciation.” Students helped clean several locations throughout the town,  including the fire department, the Depot Theatre, Lee Park, the  town recreation trail, Ballard Park, the town beach, Camp Dudley, Main Street sidewalks, the island at the intersection of Main  Street  and  Champlain  Avenue,  The  Westport  Library  and  the  cemetery on Main Street. “The  work  that  was  done  there  was  just  amazing,”  Facteau  said. “You would not recognize it.” Those  receiving  service  were  pleased  with  the  work  the  students did. “This is a wonderful thing to see these students participate in  such a great community project,” Shami McCormick at the Depot  Theatre said. “Them helping  us make this  place, which  is such  a visual focal point in the community, look good is a blessing.” “This is a fortunate venture between the town and the school,  and  they  need  to  be  commended  for  it,”  town  councilman  Michael “Ike” Tyler said. “There are ways that the students can get  a great education outside of the classroom walls, and this is one  of them.” “This  is  fantastic  to  have  the  school  participate  in  a  cleanup  day like this,” Supervisor Dan Connell said, who added the town  would be passing a resolution honoring the school for its service  to the community.

Cow pie, cut me a slice

I

meled the participants with  a driving rain.  Many in the  crowd  joked  about  awarding  winter  Saranac  6’er  status to all fi nishers.  I  listened  as  George  Grzyb,  an  ultra  hiker  from  downstate,  complained  the  event  was  not  going  to  begin until 8 a.m.  “I drove up late last night  and  slept  in  my  car,”  he  explained.  “I  thought  it  would  start  at  daybreak!    I  just  want  to get it over with before last call at the Lake Placid Pub and  Brewery, so I can enjoy a few pints of Ubu Ale!”   Grzyb fi nished in 12th place.  Another  hiker,  Matt  Hicks  was  huddled  inside  to  avoid  the rain, but he was ready to hit the trail.  Hicks hails from  Poughkeepsie and is a NYS licensed guide, as well as an accomplished trail runner. He had recently completed a 50 Mile  trail run in the Catskills.   When asked to predict a time frame  for  the  fi rst  event  fi nishers,  Hicks  estimated  it  would  take  about 14.5 hours, due to the rain.  He eventually completed  the event in eighth place. The inaugural Ultra Saranac Sixer was Lake Placid resident  Loring  Porter,  who  rang  the  bell  after  tackling  the  required  six local peaks in a time of just 10 hours, 22 minutes.  Porter is an accomplished trail athlete who has tackled the  Adirondack 46, the 111 Peaks (tallest mountains in the NorthEast),  as  well  as  Appalachian  Trail,  the  Continental  Divide  and the Pacifi c Crest Trail.  He explained: “When I fi rst heard about the Saranac Sixer,  I thought it was just silly, those little peaks!  Then I thought  about it and realized it was going to be hard to do 31 miles  all  in  one  go.    The  water  and  the  rain  really  made  it  much  tougher.  I was the fi rst one on McKenzie and there was a lot  of snow up there.” It was nearly 40 minutes later before the next ultra fi nishers  returned, and they were a pair of sisters, Bethany and Mallory Garretson from Cherry Valley near the Catskills.  Bethany,  who works in Saranac Lake, was joined by her sister for the  event. They fi nished in 11 hours and 10 minutes. Covered in mud  and shivering against the cold wind, the two sisters celebrated their accomplishment with friends and family. “It was cold  up there,” they explained, “And there was a lot of snow, and  running  water  on  the  trails.  We  we  forced  to  forde  several  streams. It was a lot tougher than we expected!”  I expect the Saranac Sixer program will continue to draw  hikers  to  the  smaller  peaks,  which  will  certainly  benefi t  the  regional tourism based economy.  However, I hope the effort  will  also  provide  an  incentive  for  local  residents  to  get  out  and enjoy their surroundings.  It will be interesting to see if  the accomplishment of becoming a Saranac Sixer is embraced  by local youth.  Whether it requires climbing a High Peak or  tackling a few of the low peaks, paddling the big lake or just  a small pond; any opportunity to get outside is worth the effort.  If we don’t learn to appreciate and take advantage our  natural surroundings, there really isn’t a lot of entertainment  available in the Adirondacks, especially for our youth.

t  wasn’t  that  long  ago  when  manure  was  thought  of  as  a  waste  product.  Recommendations were to dump it over the bank  and  use  commercial  fertilizer  for  crops.  Many  loads  of  manure  got  dumped  into  streams,  so  it  would  wash away. Out of sight, out of mind! Manure may be a biological waste  from  an  animal,  but  it  shouldn’t  be  discarded in a poop-like manner.  Cow manure will supply your soil  with organic matter, phosphorus, nitrogen  and  potassium.  Manure  conBy Rich Redman tains  organic  matter  that  is  nutrient  rich  and  readily  decomposes  to  release those nutrients over time. One  cow  averages  about  20  tons  of  manure  per year.  An application  rate  of  20  tons  of  manure  per  acre  is  realistic  and  will  provide  your  soils  with  many  nutrients.  Soil,  manure  or  leaf  tissue  tests  will  confi rm  what  you  need  and  how much to apply  for  the  crops  being  grown.  The organic matter  fraction  will  improve  the  cation exchange capacity and possibly the pH of the soil. It has been shown  where soils that received manure actually had better tilth and increased  pore space. The type of barn and animal housing makes a difference in manure  types. Solid manures come from bedded pack, tie stalls and stanchion  barns, where chocolate milkshake consistency manure comes from free  stall barns. Cattle on pasture use the direct deposit method. They give  the cow pie back to the pasture where they just harvested some grass, a  fair exchange I believe. How the manure is stored will also make a difference in the amount  of nutrients lost or saved. If manure is stored in an earthen pit, concrete tank or large big blue  steel tank, the manure is stored without oxygen and will go anaerobic.  A crust will form over the top of the manure and the nutrients such as  nitrogen will be less likely to volatilize and go into the atmosphere. Fresh liquid manure that is applied to fi elds should be plowed into  the soil as soon as possible. This will help prevent nutrient loss to the  atmosphere and from runoff if applied during a rain. The downfall of  liquid  manure  is  that  along  with  the  loss  of  nitrogen  to  the  air  when  spread, there is manure like perfume that fi lls your senses. To some of  us, it is the smell of farmers making a living. To others it is a vile smell  and they say, ”farmers should not be farming here.” Those folks think  their  food  just  magically  appears  at  the  store  all  along  thinking:  who  needs farmers anyway? Most of us know better. Composting manure allows oxygen into the mixture. Aerobic microbe  activity reduces the volume of manure due to the breakdown of the organic portion of the manure and the bedding. There is also the loss of  moisture through evaporation or leaching during the compost process.  Composting manure concentrates the organics and nutrients. Compost  should  also  be  incorporated  into  the  soil  so  you  conserve  nutrients.   Compost is stable, and when applied to the land releases nutrients over  time. Composted manure is also food for earthworms and other soil critters. Earthworms are a sign of a healthy soil that has the right amount of  oxygen,  organic  matter,  nutrients  and  moisture.  Earthworms  improve  drainage  and  the  oxygen  levels  in  soil  by  their  burrowing. An  added  benefi t is that the worm casts are rich in nutrients. Did you know that at one time there were wildlife biologists stating  that manure should be spread at the upper edges of wetlands on moist  soil so it would promote earthworm habitat. Yes, along managed wetlands so there would be a large population of worms for woodcock to  eat. Food for the woodcock! I think that is an idea worth pondering. Too  many  nutrients  are  a  problem,  but  so  is  the  lack  of  nutrients.  Wildlife  management is about habitat, and food is vital to habitat creation. Plants, whether vegetables and fruits for human use, or food plots for  wildlife all require nutrients to live. During a plant’s growth, the roots  absorb nutrients and the plant grows. The growth requires lots of nutrients that come from the soil.  When they are harvested, there is a loss of  nutrients to the soil. You are depleting the bank account so to speak. You  need to feed the soil once again to complete the cycle. The earth giveth  and the earth taketh away! This means manure is actually a food for your soil, not a waste product. Those cow pies are really culinary delights for earthworms and soil  microbes that are a great benefi t to your soil structure, organic matter  content  and  moisture  holding  capacity.  With  proper  soil  and  manure  management, your soil health will improve. Healthy soils, healthy food,  healthy cows, healthy people and a healthy farm economy!  The next time you are walking your pasture kicking cow pies, remember it’s not just a biological waste product; it’s a three course meal along  with a dessert for your soil, delivered fresh from the factory.  Those  bovines  are  part  of  the  recycling  process.  They  get  feed  from  the plants that get their food from the soil. So order a slice of that cow  pie  for  your  plants,  worms  and  microbes  to  eat,  and  don’t  let  it  wash  away. I read an old quote somewhere: “A wise man doesn’t kick a fresh cow  pie.” I think that still holds true today! It’s Memorial Day week, and I want to say “welcome home” to all the  Nam vets that never got the welcome home they deserved.

During the Memorial Day weekend, there were more snowflakes than blackflies in the air, after a late spring snowstorm deposited nearly three feet of fresh snow on Whiteface Mountain and the surrounding High Peaks.

The Saranac 6’ers H

eavy  rains,  strong  winds,  fl oods  and  more  than  three  feet  of  fresh  snow  combined  to  usher  in  a  most  memorial,  Memorial  Day  weekend  in  the  Adirondacks.   Although the long, holiday weekend has traditionally ushered in the beginning of the tourist season, the foul weather  greatly diminished the crowds of hikers, bikers, paddlers and  anglers that are typically found out and about. However, there was one major exception to the foul weather rule and it occurred in the village of Saranac Lake where  nearly 100 hiking enthusiasts gathered in anticipation of becoming the fi rst wave of Saranac Sixers. The  Saranac  6’ers  campaign  is  a  community-based  effort  that is intended to attract hikers to a few of the ‘lower peaks’  of  the  Adirondacks.    The  idea  is  the  brainchild  of  Saranac  Lake  Mayor  Clyde  Rabideau,  who  understands  the  importance of promoting the region’s natural attractions. The campaign provides a climbing standard that is readily  available and achievable by the average person. It is a ‘minor  league’  version  of  the  well  established  Adirondack  46’ers.   Rather  than  attempting  to  tackle  all  46  of  the  Adirondack  High Peaks, the Saranac 6’ers campaign requires participants  to climb just six local peaks, all of which are within easy striking distance of the community.   The  six  peaks  include  McKenzie  Mountain  at  3,861  feet,  which requires the longest hike of more than a 10-mile round  trip.    Ampersand  Mountain  at  3,261  feet  is  the  next  tallest,  followed  by  Scarface  Mountain  at  3,088  feet  elevation,  and  Haystack at 2,874.  St. Regis Mountain in Pauls Smiths stands  at 2,865 feet and Mt. Baker, in the village of Saranac Lake is  the smallest at 2,452 feet.  It also features the shortest hike of  only an 1.8 mile round trip. In  addition  to  the  many  hardcore  hikers  who  took  to  the  trails to set the standard, the Saranac 6’er Challenge has attracted a lot of local interest as well. I spoke with mother and  daughter,  Chrissie  and  Adrian  Hayden  of  Saranac  Lake  on  the  morning  of  the  campaign’s  inaugural  launch,  who  explained: “We plan on taking it at an easy pace, climbing just  two peaks a day.” Her daughter was obviously excited at the  prospect, and she offered: “We can see four of the mountains  from our house.” “That’s great,” I replied. “But the view is much better when  you can see your house from the top of the mountains.”  While  the  Saranac  6’er  Campaign  will  certainly  serve  to  attract ‘ultra-hikers’ who are interested in speed and endurance, I expect the campaign will also prompt many local residents to get out and enjoy some of the surrounding summits  that they have long enjoyed from a distance. After climbing  all of the six peaks, hikers can register for Saranac 6’er status  on the honor system.  They will then be eligible to submit the  dates to the village of Saranac Lake to receive an offi cial Saranac Sixers number, a vest patch and a bumper sticker. Participants can attempt a variety of achievements with a  Sixer fi nishing up all six peaks, and an Ultra 6’ers completing  all  six  peaks  in  a  24-hour  time  span.  Winter  6’ers  will  complete all six peaks during the winter season, and Family 6’ers  will  do  it  all  as  a  family.  I  was  in  Saranac  Lake  last  Saturday on a cold, wet and windy morning to see how many of  the one hundred or so pre-registered 6’er participants would  show  up.  The  wind  was  whipping  the  rain  sideways  as  the  fi rst few hikers staggered toward the sign-up station.  The temperatures continued to drop and so did the rain, as  weather conditions worsened throughout the day.  By noon,  snow  had  capped  the  nearby  peaks  and  high  winds  pum-

Emergency personnel train to fight Ethanol fires with live fires By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com WILLSBORO  „  Members of Essex County Volunteer  fire  departments  came  together  to  learn about combating liquid fires with a certification  class  that  included  putting  out  live  propane  fires  at  the  parking  lot  outside  the  Commonwealth Home Fashions on May 16.   “We  are  having  these  classes  in  response  to  the  increase  in  fuel  based  ethanol  transportation,” said New York State Office of Fire  Prevention  and  Control  Dan  Baker.  “Crude  oil comes through our area about once a day  and  ethanol  is  transported  at  least  five  days  a week, the risk for a liquid fire has gone up  dramatically  and  we’re  making  an  effort  to  get where we need to be to protect people.”  The group of about 22 members from various  departments  in  the  county  rotated  positions  through  about  15  burns,  performing  a  different part each time. Some members were  able to be certified and about 28 members audited the class.  The  live  burn  exercise  was  carried  out  using  a  Kidde  Firetrainer  built  tractor  trailer  prop.  “It’s  a  $250,000  prop  paid  for  by  NYSERTA,” said Baker. “We were able to pay for the

rest by a grant or the state.”  The prop used propane as opposed to ethanol  because  the  two  elements  have  similar  characteristics  and  the  propane  provides  a  fire emergency personnel can control.  When  dealing  with  an  ethanol  fire  or  a  chemical  spill,  responders  are  taught  to  use  techniques  like  damming,  diking,  diverting,  absorbing  and  vapor  suppression  using  a  Class  B  foam.  Responders  are  told  to  avoid  contact with the material. One of the practices  carried  out  through  the  live  exercise  was  to  extinguish and suppress flames in three locations at the scene.  “I  want  you  to  imagine  the  tanker  has  sprung  a  leak  and  a  fire  has  started,”  said  Baker to trainees. “I want you to really think  about what method you would use to put that  fire out. You’ve got to put that leak out or stop  that leak or the ground fire can’t go out.”  During  the  exercise,  Baker  stressed  to  the  emergency  responders  that  though  this  was  a  simulated  emergency,  there  was  a  real  fire  with real danger if not extinguished properly.  Baker  does  exercises  around  New  York  State  to  train  departments  for  ethanol  and  other  gas  burns  and  hopes  with  training  departments  who  have  never  encountered  this  type of fire will be better prepared.
