ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ North Country Community College President Steve Tyrell July 15 gave his second address to the Essex County supervisors about the annual progress of the college and said there needs to be more of a push from area schools to encourage their students to get their degrees locally. Ò For programs and areas of study where students can get the same degree here as out of the area, they should be encouraged to stay in the Park,Ó said Tyrell. Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said after the meeting that many parents might be hesitant to encourage
their students to stay. Ò Many parents want their kids to use college as a way to branch out and experience life outside of where they grew up,Ó said Bartley. Tyrell said enrollment has fluctuated with many seeking educational institutions outside the Adirondack Park. Ò Where we are seeing drops in enrollment are students are not returning and finishing their education here,” said Tyrell. He noted that students are either leaving NCCC to finish their education elsewhere or are simply not coming back. Ò The numbers I am most concerned with are not the number of students leaving but the number of students who arenÕ t even coming to pursue a college educa-
tion,Ó Tyrell said. Ò We want to focus our efforts on getting those potential students into the school.Ó The president presented a $14,625,300 NCCC budget for the 2013-2014 academic year. Several strategic initiatives are being introduced and specifically funded as a foundation for future growth in academic programs, enhanced retention as well as supporting remediation and individual student development needs. The effort to introduce the strategic initiatives combined with a pause in enrollment growth requires partial use of fund balance to support the steps of the 20132014 year. CONTINUED ON PAGE 14
ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Elizabethtown is ready for the annual celebration of their community with a weekend worth of events and activities. Etown Day will be held Saturday, July 20, with the annual Etown Day Parade at 3 p.m. down Main Street. The event is put on annually by the Elizabethtown Volunteer Fire Department.

There will be a map available to residents and visitors showing where each yard sale will be happening throughout the day.

The parade at 3 p.m., with the theme of Ò Old Time Etown,Ó will be followed by games and entertainment throughout the day at the Cobble Hill Golf Course, which will be the base for a 50-50 raffle, face painting, food and more. For the parade, Putnam said that anyone who is wishing to participate with a float, antique car, group or more can contact the fire department or himself at 873-2291.

Golf Scramble after some 15 years. Ellie came to our library as a wonderful volunteer while I was there and she came up with this idea for a fund raiser and got us started. It was sad when we learned of her death but she was so special that we wanted to continue to honor her gift to us. The next big Library fund raiser will be the Annual Folk Craft Fair on Saturday July 27 so mark your calendar and plan to make a day of it. It was sad to learn of the death of Father Delbel, he was well liked by this community when he served here and he will be missed. Candidates running for local offices are letting us know of their desire to serve our community, so urge us to get to get to know them and what they stand for in the service they seek. Happy Birthday to: Howerd Mero July 25, Trinity Johnpeer July 25, Mattie Russell July 27, Pete Trow Bridge July 26.

ur community is very blessed as special persons make it their choice to spend the summer seasons with us; they really become an extension to our community family. Several of these persons are very talented and they are willing to share their talents with us. I am very sorry that I overlooked to mention one such person Antie Munroe she exhibited her photography at the library and I did not give you notice of this event, please forgive me! Another item that we need to be proud of as a community is the many of our young men and women that offer their services to military duty. It is with much gratitude to welcome Sgt. Jake Reynolds back after his second deployment to Afghanistan in the last 3 years. Our gratitude and joy that you have returned safely to your family and all of us. I appreciate getting word of those who serve of your service so ask families to keep me informed. It is very special for me to know that the Paine Library is still holding the Ellie Campbell

tend. The flash freezer, also called a blast freezer, uses very low temperatures and moving air to rapidly freeze items, sort of like the opposite of a microwave. The benefit of flash freezing is it reduces the size of ice crystals that form in the product youÕ re working with, thus reducing moisture loss when itÕ s thawed. It also enables you to easily freeze individual items, like strawberries, so that you can use what you need rather than thaw a large hunk.

This Saturday, July 20, the new North Country SPCA building on Route 9N in Elizabethtown will be dedicated. TheyÕ re having an open house from noon to 6 p.m., and youÕ re invited to bring your dog to test out the new hiking trails and play yard. At 2 p.m., Sen. Betty Little will cut a ribbon.

Figure 8 races joining Haulin’ Junk events at county fair By Keith Lobdell
You could actually run in the figure 8 races and then take your car and run it in the derby the next day.Ó Wrisley said that the event would be open only to 4-cylinder vehicles in order to fit as many cars as possible onto the course and for safety. “You see some of the bigger figure 8 shows where they run on race tracks with big cars and they can get quite competitive and heated,Ó Wrisley said. Ò We want to keep this event more friendly and fun. The more cars we have, the better of a show we can put on.Ó For questions or more information on the HaulinÕ Junk rollover and figure 8 contests, call Wrisley at 962-2086. To register for the event, call the Essex County Fair offices at 962-8650, or visit the website essexcountyfair.org.
keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT Ñ For the past two years, the Essex County Fair has kicked off their week with the HaulinÕ Junk Rollover Contest. This year, moving to Friday night, Aug. 2, the rollover competition will be joined by a new event, the 4-cylinder figure 8 races at the grandstand area. Ò It was something that we had seen at the Rensselaer County fair a couple of years ago and we really liked the idea,Ó Kyle Wrisley of HaulinÕ Junk said. Ò It is something that has been around as long as demolition derbies and we wanted to try it here.Ó The night will start at 6 p.m. with the rollover contest, where drivers will take their cars over a one-sided ramp to see how many times they can get the car to rotate, or flip in the air, before coming to rest. Following the rollovers, the figure 8 event will begin with heat races. Racers will have to follow a course that will be made up of three turning areas which will lead to a pair of intersections, minus the stop signs. “It is really going to be a double figure 8 course, where the cars will have to maneuver around the obstacles and there will be two intersections where cars can meet,Ó Wrisley said. Ò At that point, the cars can either try to avoid each other or hit.Ó The heat races will be followed by the feature event, which will include two winners from the heats, where a champion will be crowned. Wrisley said that they added the figure 8 event into the HaulinÕ Junk program because the setup for the cars was similar to

the setup for cars that will run in the following dayÕ s (Aug. 3) Egglefield Bros. Demolition Derby. Ò With the rollover, there is more involved in building the cars and you can get a little beat up doing it,Ó he said. Ò We brought the figure 8 into play because the setup is the same as a derby car.
News in brief Pell-Dechame leaving BOE
ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ July 26 is the last effective day for Robert Pell-Dechame at the Essex County Board of Elections. The Democrat Commissioner is re-locating and submitted his letter of resignation to the Board of Supervisors, who accepted with a resolution of appreciation during July 8 committee meetings.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Jessica DarneyBuehler of the Department of Public
Health said that the tobacco committee had recommended that the designated tobacco use area on Park Street be eliminated and people would be invited to use any of the other designated areas after concerns were raised to the committee.

The black bear is the most abundant large omnivore in the Adirondack Park. State officials estimate the population here to be more than 4,000. Adults can weigh in between 125 to 500 pounds and live to be 33. Blame Goldilocks and her godawful porridge for this next bit: our clever Adirondack bears can open campers’ “bear-proof” food canisters, and might happily waltz into your kitchen for a nice pizza. The sad news is, once bears become used to our food, they lose their natural fear of people, resulting in more human-bear conflicts, and wildlife officials or citizens www.exploringnature.org killing our bears. We need to help change that for our Adirondack buddies. Because just like you, bears are....

Speak out for those who cannot
A
cross the North Country the recent response from our readers about the charges against a Plattsburgh pet store owner for neglect and animal cruelty has shown how much we love our animals. Many of our readers were angry, concerned, and unhappy with the quality of care given to kittens at the local pet store in Plattsburgh and took to social media to air their unhappiness. Ò This is awful and makes me sick to my stomach,Ó wrote Jennifer Coupal Dwyer on The BurghÕ s Facebook page. In the case against Northern Puppies, the store owner Tammy Staley was charged with 20 counts of animal cruelty. Staley was charged for improperly caring for 18 cats, two of which were found dead in the shop. Three other kittens later died in the care of a veterinarian after being willingly surrendered to police. Two additional charges were for not providing two chow dogs, ages 2 and 7, with cages large enough to fit them. Staley was arrested after medical tests on the kittens showed the cause of death as an intestinal parasite called coccidia. Other health problems included ring worm, malnutrition, ear mites, flees, eye and respiratory infections. The strong, immediate response from the community was an indicator of just how quick society jumps to the defense of animals who cannot speak for themselves. A.J. Wells wrote on The BurghÕ s Facebook page: Ò I for one, hope that she never gets her license back to sell pets. SheÕ s not owning any responsibility for this. Her excuse is that it happened because she was away from the store. So, if your child dies when you are ill, itÕ s OK? Ah, NO, you are still responsible. Innocent animals have died and suffered due to this womanÕ s actions! Or should I say inactions?Ó The law requires that pet dealers offer a legal minimum standard of care to companion animals such as dogs and cats. Animals must be provided housing that is of adequate size and structurally sound and animals must be cared for or humanely euthanized. In the case of Northern Puppies, Staley argued that she did provide veterinarian care, but said the death of the kittens was out of her hands simply because Ò cats get sick.Ó She also said that the animals in her care were not looked after because she was away recuperating from an operation at the same time that employees were on vacation. But those excuses simply do not hold water. Yes, animals get sick, but it is up to their caregiver to follow through with a proper treatment of medicine to avoid death.
And, all small businesses deal with employees taking vacation or moving on to another job, but it is up to the owner to make sure the shop is covered Ñ especially when that shop is a pet store. Letting both employees take vacation at the same time and then scheduling an operation during that time was irresponsible, plain and simple. Clayton Smalley of Plattsburgh had a very similar opinion on The BurghÕ s Facebook page: Ò As the business owner theyÕ re still responsible. If your pets die because youÕ re not there to care for them itÕ s still your fault. If you were to hire negligent people, itÕ s still your fault. You have all responsibility for the place. Those problems didnÕ t happen overnight.Ó This pet store is also not new to controversy. A year ago, photos were posted to Facebook showing animals living in filthy conditions. At the time, picketers protested in front of the store. It is good to see people take a stand and speak out in instances of animal abuse, for a whole host of reasons. The most obvious is that they cannot speak for themselves, another is that animal abuse and cruelty is often a predecessor to other crimes like child and spousal abuse Ñ even murder. Dr. Harry Hovel, who spoke in May to a group of law enforcement officials in Essex County about investigating animal cruelty, said animal abuse can be a gateway or indicator of other problems, including cruelty to humans. Therefore it is not just important for animal lovers to be vigilant for cases of animal abuse, but all of society, Hovel pointed out. It wasnÕ t that long ago that district attorneys refused to prosecute animal abuse. Before that, cases of child and spousal abuse werenÕ t even considered a crime. But community outrage has changed that thinking, and prosecutors now take a hard stand for those who often cannot stand for themselves. Frederick Douglass once famously said: “find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them.Ó It was refreshing to see that people stood up against the injustice that was dealt these animals. In the end, five kittens who were 100 percent dependant on their caregiver lost their lives. If it werenÕ t for people speaking out about that, their lives would have been quietly lost in vein.

Concerned with Comprehensive Plan To the Valley News: ItÕ s been many months since a self-appointed group began work on a Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Elizabethtown. From the beginning this group insisted that the Plan would not extend beyond the borders of the hamlet of EÕ town and publicly ridiculed any who suggested otherwise. On June 26 a Comprehensive Plan meeting occurred whereby the Town Board was repeatedly informed that the Plan will indeed be Ò town wide.Ô It will include New Russia, and extend as far as the Underwood Club area where a new traffic circle is hoped for. They still insist that the plan is not a Ò Law Ò so thereÕ s nothing to worry about. However, while it may not technically be a Ò
Letters to the Editor Law,Ó it will be a Local Ordinance and therefore have the power to influence things from a zoning prospective. A Local Ordinance doesnÕ t require a public vote, only a vote of the Town Board. Only 3 votes are needed to approve. Supervisor Bartley and Councilperson Hatch are strong supporters of this Plan and will likely try to push a vote through this fall, before the elections. An interesting part of the Plan is a new group called a Conservation Advisory Council ( CAC. ) This new group will advise the Planning Board. Perhaps they will appoint themselves, as the Comprehensive Plan group has done. It sounds like our own local version of the APA and Adirondack Council, which I suspect is exactly what it is. A complete rework of hamlet zoning is also part of the Plan. That will start as soon as the Plan is adopted by the Town Board. For those of you in EÕ town and New Russia who value your property rights, itÕ s time to pay attention. The wolf is at your door. Another meeting will be occurring at the end of July.
Deadly force To the Valley News: Deadly Force Training in the Border Patrol included direction to meditate on the question: Do you want to be judged by twelve or carried by six.Will all the rich aspects of life ever recover from prosecution for murder. And if not prosecuted and judged not guilty, there is no protection against double jeopardy. The threat will always be there. ThereÕ s no statute of limitation on murder. Deadly force includes hands, feet weapons, tools, machinery and vehicles. A wicked heart, a criminal mind, a sharp tongue, felony murder and conspiracy. Lions and tigers and pit bulls, oh my!

Essex County DPW busy with repairs from storm damage By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The July report for Essex County highways included repairs to storm-damaged roadways and regular maintenance. DPW Superintendent Anthony LaVigne gave the monthly report during the Board of Supervisors committee meeting July 15 and noted the damages to roadways during the recent heavy rainfall on June 28 where excessive rainfalls with isolated downpours caused flood damage on state, county and town roads. Roads and bridges on the county system that sustained damage were the Wells Hill Road and Fox Run Road in the town of
Lewis, Water Street Bridge and County Route 8 in the town of Elizabethtown, Highlands Road in the town of Chesterfield and Hulls Falls Road and Lacy Bridge in the town of Keene. Water under several bridges was flowing at capacity and followup inspections are being performed. Damages are estimated to be more than $100,000. Damage assessments were being completed as water levels receded. The report included the opening of bids for the past month on local projects. Submitted bids included: Moriah Center Bridge in Moriah, which was opened on June 21. The low bidder was Luck Brothers at $2,338,338. This project is 95 percent Federal and State funded. Adirondack Loj Road Bridge in North Elba was opened for bids on June 26, and the low bidder was Friend Commercial Contracting at $863,200. This project is on the bridge
bond. Reber Bridge in Willsboro was opened for bids on July 2, and the low bidder was Riffenberg Construction with a bid of $920,115. This project is 95 percent federal and state funded. LaVigne said construction is continues on Old Military Road though the project is nearing completion with finish paving and storm sewer installation to complete the project. Also Port Douglas Road in Chesterfield, Wadhams Road in Westport and Essex and Dugway Road in Moriah were paved. Paving was also performed for the town of Moriah. Drainage repairs and paving preparation was performed on the Trout Brook Road in Minerva and Dugway Road in Moriah. Also, preparations for the Essex County Fair are under way with the event to be held from July 31 through Aug. 4.

Rose and the Nightingale to perform at Ballard Park July 25
WESTPORT Ñ This eclectic concert should not to be missed, Thursday evening July 25 at 7 p.m. at Ballard ParkÕ s Performance Pavilion in Westport. Original and innovative is the best way to describe this mix of Chamber/Folk/Pop/vocal music. Rose & the Nightingale is four powerful New York based multi-instrumentalists and improvisers: Jody Redhage (voice, cello, compositions), Leala Cyr (voice, trumpet), Sara Caswell (violin, mandolin), & Laila Biali (voice, piano). The bandÕ s warm sound of three part vocal harmonies, intricate arrangements, and burning solos has proven to cut through to a deeper level of connection with audiences. The bandÕ s current project, Spirit of the Garden, inspired by Botanic Gardens, blurs the boundaries of jazz, folk, world, and chamber music. The performance integrates poetry about gardens and nature as the lyrics to the songs, as inspiration for improvised interludes, and as thematic threads through the concert. Rose & the Nightingale live performances have proven to uplift audiences with the power of the quartetÕ s fiery rhythmic energy, sublime harmonies, lyrical beauty, and staggering talent. Onstage, the band is a great demonstration of female strength. Jody, Leala, and Sara met while touring to five continents over 14 months with Esperanza SpaldingÕ s Chamber Music Society. Laila had recently settled in New York after extensive touring with Sting, Chris Botti, Paula Cole, and Suzanne Vega. Leala is currently in EsperanzaÕ s Radio Music Society band. Jody has played with a host of people from Jay-Z and Beyonce to Neil Diamond, and Sara often tours with Gene Bertoncini and solos with the New York Pops at Carnegie Hall. This concert is sponsored by Taylor Haskins and the NYSCA Decentralization Program supported by Governor Andrew Cuomo and the NYS Legislature administered locally by North Country Cultural Center for the Arts. Concerts are every Thursday at about 7 p.m. (when the hot setting sun leaves the stage ) at the Performance Pavilion, Main
Supervisors concerned over summer program regulations By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ It is never easy to start the summer camp program season for local youth commissions, but this year proved to be even tougher and many Essex County supervisors feel it may get worse. During the July 8 Economic Development Committee meeting, many supervisors voiced concerns that new regulations with training of camp leaders and guidelines would seal the fate of local summer programs. Ò It is going to come to the point where the state is going to mandate that each camp have an RN,Ó Westport Supervisor Dan Connell said.
Ò They are going to make it so we cannot fund the program and we will have to close them down.Ó Ò I spent many hours going through the paperwork that was needed to fill out the application,Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò If it were not for our emergency squad offering some last minute training to our people, we would not have been able to open,Ó Jay Supervisor and county chairman Randy Douglas said. Ò I was at the camp this morning before I came to the meeting making sure everything was ready for opening day.Ó County planner Mike Mascarenas, who also works with the Essex County Youth Bureau, said that the state regulations are more strict than the ones given by the American Red Cross.
Ò The Red Cross says that you have to take the first-aid course every two years, while the state DOH comes in and says that you need to take it annually,Ó Mascarenas said. Ò You would think that the Red Cross standard, who you could say are the professionals in the field, would be good enough for the state, but now we are paying double to train our staff because we have to do it annually.Ó Connell said that he knew that the intentions for increased safety was coming from the right place, but that the state should weigh the issues with potential alternative. Ò I know that this is all coming from the perspective of making sure that the kids are safe and can be taken care of,Ó Connell said. Ò But you have to stop and look at the fact that if you
make it so towns cannot run these programs anymore, then you will have a lot of kids in bad situations because this is where they go during the summer while parents are at work.Ó Ò We have a summer program that has between 140 and 180 kids at it every day,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò If they were not here, then they would be at home and often times unsupervised.Ó Mascarenas said the frustration in the late change in requirements came because the state made a change that he was unaware of. Ò We have a lot of people who think that all these regulations are coming from the county or the Youth Bureau, and that is just not the case,Ó he said.
Adirondack Community Trust hires Saranac Lake’s Chris Morris LAKE PLACID Ñ ACT, the Adirondack regionÕ s community foundation, is pleased to welcome Chris Morris as communications manager, filling a brand new position at the organization. As communications manager, Morris will work to build awareness about ACT in the local, regional and national press, as well as oversee news content on ACTÕ s website, generousACT. org, and manage social media platforms. Ò IÕ m humbled to have an opportunity to work for an organization that does so much positive work in our communities,Ó Mor-
ris said. Ò We live in an incredible place, and IÕ m excited to use my skills to help highlight the work ACT does and build awareness about philanthropy and generous acts in the Adirondacks.Ó Ò WeÕ re very excited to have Chris on board,Ó said Cali Brooks, ACTÕ s executive director.Ò His background in journalism and communications, coupled with his passion for the broader Adirondack community, will be a great addition to our organization.Ó Born and raised in Saranac Lake, Morris returned to the Ad-
irondacks seven years ago to pursue a career in journalism.

Keeseville steps closer to dissolution By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE Ñ The Keeseville Village Board of Trustees decided to stick to the plan. The board voted to accept the dissolution plan presented by the Keeseville Dissolution Committee during its July 9 monthly board meeting, putting in place the process of eliminating the municipal government located in the towns of Chesterfield and Ausable Dec. 31, 2014. The vote by the village trustees also set in motion a 45-day petitioning period, where village residents who are registered voters would be able to submit a petition triggering a permissive referendum that would again bring the issue to a vote. In order to successfully force another vote, the document would require signatures from 25-percent of the registered voters. Currently, there are 955 registered voters in the village. If a petition were presented and accepted by the village, a vote on the dissolution plan would be held. If passed, the dissolution process would continue and the village would cease to exist as an incorporated entity on Dec. 31, 2014. If defeated, the process is halted barring another dissolution petition. Residents of the town of Chesterfield and Ausable who live outside of the village boundaries would not be allowed to

vote on the referendum. They were also not allowed to vote in the original dissolution referendum, which passed 268-176 on Jan. 22, after a petition that had to be signed by at least 10-percent of registered voters was presented to the board of trustees. The Keeseville Dissolution Committee met throughout 2012, working on a dissolution study before drafting a dissolution plan which was presented to the village board. The committee held four public hearings throughout the year, with each bringing more people into the discussion. Members of the dissolution committee included Keeseville Mayors Meegan Rock and Dale Holderman (who defeated Rock in the March 2012 election), Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow, Ausable Supervisor Sandy Senecal, Keeseville Trustee Mary King, and residents Leon Ò ButchÓ Clodgo, Bill Agoney, Maurice Bresette, Julie Lattrell and Linda Guimond. Tim Weidemann of Rondout Consulting and Peter Fairweather of Fairweather Consulting were hired to provide their services to the committee. The work done by the group was funded through a state grant.

Bridge to Keene Cemetery set to be replaced soon By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com KEENE Ñ The bridge connecting the community of Keene to the new Veterans Memorial Park and the Keene Town Cemetery will be replaced as part of an Essex County Bridge bond. The county Board of Supervisors approved adding the project to replace the Keene Cemetery Lane Bridge to a bridge bond not to exceed $4.5 million. Ò That is an important bridge even though it does not serve a huge number of vehicles,Ó Keene Supervisor William Ferebee said. Currently, the bridge serves as the only access point to the
cemetery and memorial and connects with Route 22 off of Spruce Hill. A second access point on Route 73 closer to the hamlet was closed years ago for safety reasons. Ò We had a service at the cemetery the other day and there were about 50 cars there,Ó Ferebee said. Ò To put those cars out onto Route 73 where the cars are coming by at 50-60 mph is not safe. You are talking about a corridor that has over one million cars a year coming through it, and many of them do not know the area which could cause problems if you opened that part of Cemetery Lane up again.Ó Ferebee said that the Route 73 access point was also closed because of erosion along the hill where it is located.
Ò There is a new slide there right now and if you were to reopen that point and the slide continues, then you would have no road on one end and no bridge on the other,Ó Ferebee said. Ò It is a wise choice to include this bridge as part of the bond.Ó Ferebee said that members of the local veterans organizations had also approached him about making sure the bridge would be able to be part of the countiesÕ bond. Ò The new Veterans Park serves as a memorial site and it is where we hold our annual Memorial Day services, so they were concerned what would happen if the bridge was not replaced,Ó Ferebee said. Currently, the bridge has a weight limit restriction, but has been red-flagged, meaning it needs to be repaired or replaced.

‘Adirondack Paddling’ an inspiring companion for paddlers By Andy Flynn
andy@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE Ñ Phil BrownÕ s a busy guy. Not only does he work a day job as editor of the Adirondack Explorer newsmagazine and publish interesting books in his spare time, heÕ s usually found somewhere in the Adirondack Park paddling, hiking or rock climbing in familiar and unfamiliar territory. Perhaps this is one reason why outdoor enthusiasts will find his newest book, Ò Adirondack Paddling: 60 Great Flatwater Adventures,Ó such a useful resource. When reading the book, we know Brown isnÕ t just sending us to far-off corners of the Adirondack Forest Preserve without due diligence; heÕ s paddled these trips and swapped notes with Adirondack Daily Enterprise outdoor writer Mike Lynch, who also explored the 60 great flatwater adventures. Brown speaks from experience. This is the guy who won a paddling rights court case earlier this year against the Friends of Thayer Lake and the Brandreth Park Association. He paddled from Little Tupper Lake to Lake Lila Ñ including Mud Pond, Mud Pond Outlet and a portion of Shingle Shanty Brook Ñ which were posted. Accused of trespassing, Brown asserted the public deserved to paddle these routes. And the judge agreed, saying that the route is Ò navigable in factÓ and ordered that the posted signs along the waterways be taken down.
Meet the author
LAKE PLACID Ñ Phil Brown, journalist and author, will give an Adirondack paddling presentation at two locations this coming week. Brown, editor of the Adirondack Explorer newsmagazine, will give a slide show based on his guidebook Ò Adirondack Paddling: 60 Great Flatwater Adventures,Ó which he published in conjunction with ADK. This will be held on Saturday, July 20 at 8 p.m. at ADKÕ s High Peaks Information Center, located at Heart Lake in Lake Placid. This presentation is free and open to the public. For more information, contact 523-3441 or visit adk.org. Brown will also give the program on Monday, July 22 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Keene Valley Library Summer Lecture Series. He will talk about a variety of paddling experiences in the Adirondacks, as well as his recent legal experience: the Shingle Shanty Paddling Case, a trespassing suit filed against him in 2010 by landowners seeking to close Mud Pond, Mud Pond Outlet and Shingle Shanty Brook to the public. The Keene Valley Library is located at 1796 State Route 73. Admission is free. For more information, call the Library at 576-4335.
Brown Ñ as an advocate for paddlers and for all who have the right to enjoy the Adirondack Forest Preserve and its navigable waterways Ñ writes Ò Adirondack PaddlingÓ with authority. And heÕ s backed by a well-established team of environmental educators, journalists and outdoor professionals. •There are breathtaking photos by Brown and other notable Adirondack photographers, such as Carl Heilman II, Mark Bowie, Mike Lynch, Nancie Battaglia, Susan Bibeau and Nancy Ford. •There are more than a dozen photos of birds found along the waterways taken by noted wildlife photographer Larry Master. •There are useful maps by Saranac Lake artist Matt Paul. •And there’s the full support of the co-publisher, the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK), which is the leading publisher of outdoor resource guides in the Adirondack Park. One aspect of Ò Adirondack PaddlingÓ that sets it apart from other guidebooks is the storytelling. Brown doesnÕ t just dive into the facts; he sets up each paddle with an introduction that sums up the trip and puts it in context with the paddlersÕ experience, other recreational possibilities in the Park, and the degree of wildness and solitude one can find there. Ò For many people, pond-hopping in the St. Regis Canoe Area under sunny skies represents the summum bonum of Adirondack paddling,Ó Brown writes in the Long Pond to Hoel Pond section. Ò Each pond on the dayÕ s itinerary is a new adventure. Each has its own personality. Each is an invitation to experience nature (including loons) up close, undisturbed by motorboats. But paddling is not the only way to see the Canoe Area ...Ó Brown organizes trips in Ò Adirondack PaddlingÓ by creating four regions of the Adirondack Park: Northeast, which includes trips around Newcomb, the Tri-Lakes and Lake Champlain; Northwest, which includes trips such as Lake Lila, the Oswegatchie River and Madawaska Flow; the Southwest, which includes trips such as East Canada Creek, Blue Mountain Lake to Raquette Lake and Browns Tract Inlet; and the Southeast, which includes trips such as the Upper Schroon River, Lower Hudson River and Kunjamik River. If thereÕ s one criticism, itÕ s the lack of paddling trips in the Southeast region. To only have six trips in such a huge chunk of the Adirondack Park makes it seems like there are very few places to paddle there, which canÕ t be true, can it? Yet to whittle the endless opportunities down to 60 great paddling trips for a park the size of Vermont, choices have to be made, and Brown made 60 excellent choices. Maybe the Southeast could be better represented in later books. It was nice to see a listing of six multi-day paddling trips in the back of the book, which was mainly designed to offer day trips. Ò Adirondack PaddlingÓ is 288 pages (including the index) and retails for $24.95, a reasonable price considering paddlers will be traveling a lot with it. This is a well-designed and attractive resource, filled with color photos, and it has rightly earns its place in the stable of ADK guidebooks. It is co-published by BrownÕ s

company, Lost Pond Press. As in all ADK publications, Brown takes Ò Adirondack PaddlingÓ beyond the guidebook basics of Ò who, what and whereÓ and adds the Ò how and why.Ó The reader will learn how to safely enjoy these waterways and begin to understand why itÕ s so important to protect these public lands. ItÕ s striking how many nooks and crannies of the Adirondack Park IÕ m missing by not taking these trips. IÕ ll admit, I donÕ t canoe or kayak, and IÕ ve spent most of my time in the Forest Preserve hiking and backpacking. Save for a memorable three-day canoeing trip on the Raquette River from Long Lake to Tupper Lake, IÕ m no paddler. But I found a love for paddling in this book. Ò Adirondack PaddlingÓ made we want to be a paddler. Learn more at www.LostPondPress.com or www.adk.org.

Heritage House looking to ‘Raise the Roof’ WESTPORT Ñ The Heritage House in Westport is continuing to host more and more activities for the community. In order to keep doing so, members of the Heritage House Committee are launching their first major capital fundraising campaign to re-slate the roof on the 1877 former Baptist church. Ò I have to watch over the nuts and bolts and take care of them when they break, and the roof is a pretty big part of the nuts and bolts,Ó buildings and grounds chair of the Heritage House Committee Jack Buttimer said. Ò It is a multi-color slate roof, which is typical of an 1877 roof. We have not had any serious leaks yet, and we donÕ t want to have any.Ó The committee is looking to secure $35,000 in funding to reach their goal, which would allow for a new slate roof to be placed. Ò It is a little more expensive to replace with slate, but this is an historical building and we want to maintain it in that way,Ó Buttimer said. Ò We want to replace the roof in its entirety rather than piecemeal because it would be more cost effective and it would ensure that we do not repeat this process again in four or five years.” Committee co-chair Nancy Decker said they would like to have the roofer begin the process of replacing the slate by the first week of September. “To get this all done now is the definite goal, and the roofer said this would be a six week project, so we are hoping to get him in by then,Ó Decker said. Ò We hope to wrap up fundraising by August and by the end of that month know where we stand,Ó Buttimer said. The committee is planning to advertise with posters and fliers in town along with a bulk mailing to all of the residents, asking them for support. There also will be a Ò thermometer,Ó outside of
the Heritage House, tracking the progress of the fundraiser. Decker said the current slate will also help pay for the new roof. Ò The slate that is up there will be sold by the roofer and then be turned around as a credit to us,Ó Decker said. Both Decker and Buttimer said the roof renovation is part of the committeeÕ s focus on turning the Heritage House into a cultural hub for the Westport community. Ò We are hoping to raise money as well as raise awareness as to what is happening here now,Ó Buttimer said. Ò While the money is important, the most important is the vision of what this place can be.Ó Ò It is becoming our community center for activities,Ó Decker said. Ò We want to continue that and become even more active, including being more active in the winter months.Ó For more information on the Westport Heritage House and the Ò Raise the roof,Ó capital campaign, visit the website westportheritagehouse.com.

NCCC budget from page 1
It is anticipated that the growth of the academic programs and increase in the retention rate will eliminate the need to draw from the fund balance in future years. Jay Supervisor and Board Chairman Randy Douglas said improvements at the Saranac Lake campus are needed. The Saranac Lake branch has not undergone cosmetic or technological improvements in more than 20 years, and Tyrell said he hopes in the near future the college community will form a plan to put before the county to give the campus a Ò face-lift.Ó He said they would like to engage a broader number of students by having them walk into a school that appears more modern to match

the value of the education they can receive at NCCC. Branching out to other parts of the communities would be an option. Ò The idea is not to move but co-locate sectors of the college community into the downtown,Ó said Tyrell. By intertwining college facilities into the community, Tyrell said it will serve as a corridor to making the two into one community. The efforts are already being exercised at the Ticonderoga branch with the introduction of new dormitories to be built in a former business facility on Montcalm Avenue. Tyrell also said one way to keep students at the college would be to establish the college as Ò Communiversity.Ó “Instead of students transferring to a university to finish their education, we could keep our students by bringing in programs that allow them to complete their education at our campuses,Ó said Tyrell. NCCC recommends a $150 increase in the tuition rate, which is the first increase since the 2011-2012 academic year. There will be no increase in standard fees.

Lime Lake is no lemon!
T
his past week I was on another mission; a working vacation combined with fishing, of course. My working aspect was doing wildlife habitat work. My fishing trip was for bass; smallmouth and largemouth. This time I was down in northBy Rich Redman ern Allegany county cutting trees in a small town named Short Tract. When my sister Suzy was diagnosed with lung cancer they held an auction to raise money for finding the cause and cure for cancer. I donated a wildlife management plan to the auction. Good friends, Johnny and Carol Beitz bid on it, and won the wildlife management plan for their hunting property. I completed the wildlife plan two years ago, and now I go down once a year to fell trees on the property, creating openings for food plots and early successional growth. I also cut trees down to allow sunlight to reach the apple trees that are straining to get sunlight. Johnny has been following the guidelines outlined in the plan and the results are showing. In just one year there has been a remarkable change in the amount of apples that are growing. Last year there were trees with no apples due to the shade. This year with the rain and life giving sunlight reaching the trees, there are apples galore! We cleared an area where brassicas will be planted, providing energy to deer this fall. A nice little buffet table is being created for both grouse and deer. Apples, grasses, clovers and brassicas will supply minerals, carbohydrate energy and protein to the deer for growth and weight gain to get through the winter. The food and food plots will keep deer near his property long enough so he can bow hunt this fall. Winter will be arriving faster than we think. ItÕ s all coming together for Johnny and his hunting property. Last year he was a bit hesitant about cutting trees. He is now a true believer in wildlife management and allowing the sun to do the work! After dropping about forty trees, I was done for the day. Johnny now has his work cut out for him pulling brush and tops to create designated movement areas for deer. He also will be getting some exercise cutting the red maple up for firewood. This fall should be a good hunting season for my friend and his property. Once I was done cutting, it was fishing and hydration time. I returned to Lime Lake in Cattaraugus County where I stayed with Andy Christie, his family and friends. Bass fishing was on the hit list for activities. Andy’s brother, Ken Christie is a semi-professional bass fisherman who competes in NYS Bass Federation tournaments and I was lucky enough to be able to get a day out on the boat with him. He will be on Lake Champlain later this year for a bass tournament. The next morning we set out in his Triton bass boat with an Evinrude 150 engine and shot across the lake like a bullet. Lime Lake is a small lake or what could be called a large pond. ItÕ s about 1 mile long and lean in width with a few bays. The lake is elbow to elbow with camps and cottages, so if you like solitude, that is not a daytime option. The only solitude is found during night fishing. Water skiers, jet skis, canoes and pontoon boats are plentiful on holiday weekends, but scarce during the week. It’s a great little lake to fish with a canoe or small boat, which can be put in at the DEC access area. You canÕ t back a trailer with a boat into the access area to launch; itÕ s for carry in only boats. The camps all get access through a private launch on the lake which is for lake association members only. Despite this limitation, it’s a great spot to fish for bass. The rain started after our first hour out, but we were catching fish so it didnÕ t matter. One after another, we started pulling in largemouth bass; many of very acceptable size. Ken caught the one and only norlunge; about a 22-incher. The norlunge were stocked to keep the population of bluegills, sunnys and perch from over running the lake. There were two guys in our party who didn’t catch a fish: Nick and Pat, but I wonÕ t mention their names due to fact that they are overwhelmed with depression and embarrassment! We broke for lunch, changed into dry clothes and went back to fishing. We were using lightweight spinning rods with 8-pound test line. The bait was a white fluke which was twitched on the retrieve, and allowed to sink. It worked superbly! We caught bass and norlunge and enjoyed the time fishing. I made some new friends and yes, life is good! Lime Lake is no lemon when it comes to bass fishing! Lime Lake is a small, sometimes congested lake, but a beautiful spot to fish. It’s right off of NYS Route 16, south of Arcade about five miles. There are gas stations, restaurants and shopping areas nearby along with camping areas and motels to stay in, so if you are passing through western New York or just doing a walk about wanderlust trip enjoying life, stop in and fish this sweet little lake. This article is dedicated to my little sister Suzy who lost her battle with lung cancer, and to all the family and friends in western New York who were there for her! Thank You. To everything; turn, turn, turn. There is a season; turn, turn, turn! I miss you Suzy!

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The two candidates that ran for the Elizabethtown supervisor position in 2011 will rematch in November. Current Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley and her predecessor, Noel Merrihew, each filed party-designating petitions for the Nov. 5 General Election with the Essex County Board of Elections, two of more than 130 filed before the July 11 close of business deadline. Ò This is going to be an exciting year,Ó Republican Commissioner Allison McGahay said. In the 2011 election, Bartley, who is registered as a Democrat, defeated Merrihew, registered as a Republican, 254-238, in a hotly contested race. Elizabethtown will also see a race for town council with Democratic incumbent Evelyn Hatch having filed along with Republicans William Wright, Jr. and Richard Olcott. William Garrison and Michael Doyle both filed Republican petitions for town justice, while Debra Brooks filed a Republican petition for town clerk/tax collector and Michael Drew submitted a Republican petition for highway superintendent. The most active political battlefield will be in Willsboro, where races for supervisor, town council, town justice, and town clerk will all be contested. For Supervisor, incumbent Democrat Ed Hatch will seek reelection against current Republican town councilman Shaun Gilliland. In the race for town clerk, Bridget Brown and Richard Sayward will face off in a Sept. 10 Republican Primary for the posi-
tion vacated by the retirement of Beverly Moran. For town justice, Democrats Reginald Bedell and Paula Lincoln submitted petitions along with Republicans Gregg Dickerson and Clarence Russell, Jr. Four Republicans are seeking two town council seats and will be involved in a Sept. 10 primary, including incumbents Charles Lustig, Jr. and Nancy Huestis and challengers Lane Sayward and Lorilee Sheehan. Democrat John “Jack” Thompson also filed a petition. Bryon Moran filed a Republican petition for the position of superintendent of highways. Minerva will also be the home to a supervisor race, where incumbent Sue Montgomery-Corey will face a Sept. 10 primary election against current town councilman Stephen McNally. In the race for town council, Peter McNally filed a Democratic petition for one of two seats along with Republican incumbent Keith Dubay and Republican Douglas McCall. Incumbent town clerk Diane Mason filed a Democratic petition to run for re-election, while Darlene Duffy filed a Democratic petition for assessor, incumbent Bruce McGinn a Republican petition for highway superintendent and Republican incumbent Effie McNally filed for tax collector. In Westport, Democratic Supervisor Dan Connell will face a challenge from Republican James Carroll. Also, Republican Tim Sherman will seek re-election to the town council along with Democrat Russell Paquette. Democrats Steven Viens and Gerald Goulet will join Paquette in a Sept. 10 primary, with the top two earning party favor in the Nov. 5 general election. Current Westport Councilman Michael Ò IkeÓ Tyler has also filed a Republican petition seeking the post of town justice. The least active township on party petition day was Ches-

The cast features Fran Yardley, Megan Macdonald, Rachel Jerome, and Keene Valley native Tyler Nye, who plays Father Flynn. It is directed by SUNY Potsdam professor Kim Bouchard. This John Patrick Shanley play has a new, expanded title since its Broadway run, but itÕ s the same drama that gathered a Pulitzer Prize and Best Play Tony Award in 2005 as just plain, Ò Doubt.Ó It has been made into a much-acclaimed movie that garnered five Oscar nominations. The story centers around the battle for truth between Sister Aloysius, principal of a parochial school in the Bronx in 1964, and Father Flynn, the parish priest. With only four characters (including a young nun and the mother of a young boy), the play allows Sister AloysiusÕ doubts about Father FlynnÕ s behavior with a young male student, and the priestÕ s responses, to be distilled down to their very essence. Shanley leaves audiences no simple answers, no pat solutions, and no easy outs. This is theatre that brings audiences to the edge of their seats and introduces topics that hopefully will be discussed long after the final curtain. Tickets are $22 for Adults, $20 for Seniors, $12 for under 17 years old. It is $12 for all matinee performances. Performances will take place July 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 30, and 31 at 8 p.m., along with Aug. 1, 23, 24, 28, 29 at 8 p.m. and Aug. 25 at 2 p.m.. For tickets, call 891-1854, email info@PendragonTheatre.org or purchase tickets directly fromPendragonTheatre.org.
“Doubt, A Parable’” opened July 11 at the Pendragon Theatre in Saranac Lake.
