HAPPY HOME

This Week BOARD GAMES

Time for Essex Co. Fair days

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT Ñ It is one of the oldest continuously-running agricultural and county fairs in the country. The Essex County Fair will celebrate its 165th birthday starting Wednesday, July 31.

The fair, held annually at the county fairgrounds in Westport every year since the Civil War, will open on July 31 and continue through Sunday, Aug. 4, featuring a brand new midway and several new activities and shows for all ages.

The fair has hired East Coast Midways out of Clinton, ME, to serve as the rides provider this year.

Ò We are excited to have this group come in and we plan on

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The North Country SPCA held its grand opening Saturday, July 20 and welcomed the public to their new state-of-the-art facility located at 7700 state Route 9N. The opening celebration comes months after the animals at the shelter officially made the move from the former shelter in Westport to the new facility. That moved occurred in November.

For more than six years, NCSPCA board members and community members worked to raise more than $1 million for the new shelter modeled after the SPCA

head quarters in New York City. The new shelter will serve as a model for other small and medium size facilities.

During the celebration, community members were invited to tour the facility walking through the cat and dog rooms, enjoyed lunch with Merriloons the Clown, met SPCA board members who made the buildings completion possible and Sen. Betty Little.

Pat Tivnan, NCSPCA board member, said volunteers worked around the clock in the final days leading up to the opening to cut timber for the fencing surrounding the parking lot. Ò We are so grateful for all the help everyone has given us,Ó Tivnan said.

A play yard and training area was also

constructed in the days prior to the opening day celebrations.

Margie Reuther, NCSPCA board member, said it was a very emotional experience for her and her family as the new facility named for her mother, Frances Miller Shelter, was opened for the community and animals to enjoy. Ò This is an incredible day for us all and also a great day for the community, this is just as much your shelter as itÕ s any ones,Ó said Executive Director of the NCSPCA Jessica Hartley.

Little said the facility is a shining example for other community shelters. Ò People who are going to build a shelter will be looking because this is a prime CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Freedom festival of Music back for second year

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — The Ausable Chasm Pavilion will host five artists who will come together to help raise funds for the North Star Underground Railroad Museum.

The second Freedom Festival of Music will take place Thursday, Aug. 1, starting at 4:30 p.m. and will run until 8:30 p.m. at the Pavilion.

Featured performers include local favorites Roy Hurd, Lita Kelly, Speedy Arnold, Charlie Stone and Split Rock, along with the Lake Champlain Gospel Choir.

The date for the concert is a significant one in the history of

Civil Rights. On Aug. 1, 1834, the British abolished the practice of slavery throughout the empire, including Canada. The day was known and celebrated for many years as Emancipation Day, which is still celebrated in some former British colonies, especially in the Caribbean. Ò Their action inspired abolitionists in the U.S. to organize the antislavery movement and aid thousands of fugitives from slavery to escape to the Canadas,Ó North Star Underground Railroad Museum Manager Helen Nerska said.

Proceeds from the festival will benefit the museum, which, according to Nerska, Ò tells the story of enslaved people who escaped through the Lake Champlain Corridor of the Underground Railroad with the help of courageous local people who believed in freedom.Ó Admission to the festival is $7 for adults and $2 for children under 12. Group rates are available for parties of 20 or more.

Those attending are asked to bring a chair and a picnic supper. There will be light snacks available for purchase. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed.

Tickets can be purchased at ArnoldÕ s Grocery in Keeseville,

53088

BobÕ s Music and the Corner Bookshop in Plattsburgh, along with the North Star Museum and at the event.

For more information, call 834-5180, visit northcountryundergroundrailroad.com, email ugr@frontier.com or go to Facebook. com/NorthCountryUndergroundRailroadHistoricalAssociation & Museum.

Peter Craig hones his passion for chess

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE Ñ Peter Craig can remember playing the game of chess with his father at a young age. Ò I would play a few games with my dad and I would lose, so I would lose interest and walk away,Ó Craig said.

Now entering his senior year at Keene Central School, Craig leaves the chess table with something other than frustration. He now leaves with trophies.

As well as tying for first place in both the under 1710 section of the New York State Open tournament at Lake George and under 1810 section at Vermont Resort Open, Craig earned more than his share of team points to help his under 1400 rated team Saranac Village Chess Knights team win first place in Parsippany, N.J. in February. Ò It was pretty tough competition,Ó Craig said. “The individual events were both five rounds long, and I was able to win four out of five rounds.”

His father, David, introduced Peter to the game of chess on a board that he had made in the eighth grade. Ò I had the feeling that he was going to be a bright kind,Ó David said. Ò I wanted to help stimulate his mind with things like chess.Ó The father and son duo played many games together at home before hearing about the

Chess Knights, a club of enthusiasts who meet on Wednesday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Saranac Village at Will Rogers in Saranac Lake. Ò It was this club that got us thinking about tournaments,Ó David said.

What it also did was give Peter a chance to meet new players and see new styles, which helped him develop his chess game. Ò I was able to focus more on the game, and I wanted to become a better player,Ó he said. Ò You can take something from a loss. It was good for my play to see how other people would make their plays and then use that to develop my play.Ó Peter said that he enjoys meeting new players in tournaments and through the club, and continues to play with his new friends long after the competitions end. Ò He does a lot of playing online with the people he meets,Ó David said. Ò I think that this has helped him socially with all of the different people he has been able to meet.Ó Ò The game itself is fun, and it is fun to meet all these people who play,Ó Peter said. Ò I met a particle physicist from New Jersey once.Ó The result? Ò I beat him.Ó Peter said he hopes to continue playing in tournaments and events and working to improve his ranking on a regional and national level. Ò I just want to keep rising, keep my rating going up and become a better player,Ó he said.

Peter Craig has been playing chess with his father, David, since he was very young.

Ò The game has taught me how to use my time wisely and not to underestimate people. I tend to be an aggressive player and sometimes I will forget that while I am attacking, I have to de-

fend myself as well.Ó For more information on the Saranac Lake Chess Knights, call 891-7117. Admission is free and materials are provided, as well as refresh-

Wild Character My Favorite Marten The American Marten, a happy-go-lucky round-eared, bushy-tailed, slender weasel, is often confused with its cousin, the Pine Marten, because it likes to party among the pines. Its rich, silky fur varies in color from pale yellow to nearly black. By 1892, when the Adirondack Park was created, trapping had www.exploringnature.org nearly erased the marten from the Northeast. New York’s now-healthy population rebounded from a feisty isolated group that survived in the northern Adirondack Park. Martens give weasels a good name: they dine happily on rodents, bugs, amphibians, and reptiles. Another great reason we’re so...

he NCSPCAÕ s Grand Opening on July 20 was a success, with lots of fun and excitement for everyone, both furry and human visitors! We would like to thank everyone who attended and showed their support. You can check out some great photos of the festivities on our Facebook page, North Country SPCA. If you are interested in donating household items or pet supplies to the NCSPCA, there is a listing of much-needed items on our webpage, http://www.ncspca.org/, We also have an Amazon Wish List if you would like to order pet items to be sent directly to the shelter. At this time, we are especially in need of wet cat food.

Our feline friends seem to respond very well to Hills Science Diet MD Weight Loss. We are also always in need of cleaning supplies, Frontline flea control products, kitty litter, dog and cat toys, and dog collars/leashes. The majority of our dry pet food is donated to us through the Science Diet Pet Parters Program. Of course, we always welcome monetary donations and, most importantly, your time if you are able to volunteer!

Our featured pet this week is Misha, a Tibetan Spaniel/Pomeranian Mix who is an absolutely adorable little lady who was brought in as a

The market is by the river behind The Library on Front Street. DonÕ t forget to visit our newest places on Front Street with the Block Gallery, Kingsland Square Bistro and Little Italy Restaurant.

I received an email from the North Country Honor Flight. With newly-elected officials they have a busy schedule planned. First up will be Saturday, July 27 in Willsboro with a Memorial Service for Harris Young. Lt. Col Young was a WWII veteran, and NYS Essex County Veteran Counselor from 1956 to 1981, and a retired Reserve Lt. Col. from the United States Air Force.

The Service is at 11 a.m. at St. Philips Catholic Church. Call Danny Kaifetz at 834-9901 for details. Ò Dig Into ReadingÓ is still going on at the library on Mondays at 10 a.m. This is a free event with readings and activities for young story lovers. While at the library be sure to visit the ongoing art show and sale featuring the photographs of Lynn Manning in a show entitled

stray. We believe this sweet girl is less than two years old. She can be shy at first, but once she gets to know you, her bubbly personality will quickly win your heart. Misha is housetrained and would love to find a home where she can sit on your lap and watch television with you or just cuddle up at night. If you are looking for a smaller dog with a huge personality, Misha is the canine for you!

Rob Ivy • robhivy@gmail.com who died last December, was honored by his four children with a specially made bench that was recently presented to the town. ItÕ s made of cast bronze and has items on it that refer to Mr. Vanderhorst, among them a coffee cup, a half eaten doughnut, a stack of books and a Do Nothing Club hat. He was a proud charter member of that august organization. The bench is in front of the town hall.

One evening a couple of weeks ago, Steve Sayward of Route 22 was working in his yard and somehow tumbled into a roadside ditch, which he couldnÕ t get out of. Mr. Sayward, 88, was in the ditch for 45 minutes until Don Christian and Eric Holland of the road crew happened by and rescued him, uninjured. Mr. Sayward is deeply appreciative and is glad to live in a town where the road crew is known to check on the senior citizens, or as he put it, Ò the old folks.Ó

Smith House officially opens under ECH banner

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO Ñ The Smith House in Willsboro officially celebrated its new partnership with the Elizabethtown Community Hospital during a July 10 open house.

Members of the Smith House staff and board were joined by Elizabethtown Community Hospital (ECH) staff in celebrating the facility becoming the fourth primary care facility under the ECH brand. Other facilities are located in Elizabethtown, Wilmington and Westport. Ò It is a huge difference for people who live here to come to the Smith House instead of heading to Elizabethtown,Ó Jane Hooper, director of community relations for ECH said. Ò We can offer services here that are supported through the primary care facility. Smith House patients have always been ECH patients and there has always been a relationship there, now it is a more structured one.Ó “We will have a five-day-a-week presence all year in Willsboro and we are looking to take on new patients and have more of a pediatric base in the community,Ó Primary Care Clinics Manager Robin Dunning said. Ò The Smith House will now be operated the same as all of our other health centers.Ó Dunning said the return of physical therapy to the Willsboro community has been a success

couple of months ago with two and three days a week,Ó Hooper said. Ò Now we are up to offering it five days a week.”

Dunning added that they will also be looking at increasing what they can offer to the community. Ò There is room for expansion of services at some point and we will ask to see what the community has interest in,Ó she said.

Dr. Mary Glickman, who started to work at the Smith House about one year ago, said that she expects the center to continue to grow. Ò I really think that it is going to be very busy,Ó Glickman said. Ò Since I have been here, I have seen an increase. I would say that the stability and word about what we are doing here is getting out.Ó Dunning added that the stability is aided by the connection to the main hospital in Elizabethtown as well as the three other health centers. Ò We have the advantage now of having all of the hospitals resources at our disposal,Ó Dunning said. Ò All of the health centers and the hospital are linked by telemedicine units so you can be seen at any of the sites and the doctors will have immediate access to your charts.Ó For more information, call the Smith House at 963-4275 or visit the website ech.org/health_ centers_smith_house.html.

Thoughts on Cuomo’s dog-and-pony show

L

etÕ s be clear Ñ we are grateful to Gov. Andrew Cuomo for establishing the Adirondack Challenge Festival. Local towns and counties couldnÕ t afford to buy that much publicity for our tourism-dependent region. For a weekend, the Adirondack Park was in New YorkÕ s limelight, and it felt great.

It felt even better for the governor, who was able to award himself the Adirondack ChallengeÕ s top prize for winning the whitewater rafting races on Sunday, July 21 on the Indian River. The Senate came in second. The Assembly third.

Come on!

Did they let him win? Did he have a head start? Were State Police scuba divers holding back the other rafts? We know he had a strong team and a top-notch rafting guide in Bone Bayse of Beaver Brook Outfitters. But still ... the governor wins his own challenge?

Sounds fishy. We’ll never know the whole truth (the governor’s office isn’t always forthcoming with such information). On face value, it looked like the Adirondack Challenge was one big dog-and-pony show for the governorÕ s ego.

But weÕ re OK with that.

Maybe Cuomo deserved the win, maybe he didnÕ t. It doesnÕ t matter. For the amount of positive national exposure Cuomo gave the Adirondack Park, he can have a dozen first-place paddles. And if he ever makes it to the White House, heÕ ll remember the good times he had in the Adirondack Park. Maybe heÕ ll set up a summer White House here like Calvin Coolidge did in 1926 at White Pine Camp in Paul Smiths.

That would be great exposure, too.

New York governors have come and gone, and most have just ignored the Adirondack Park. Gov. George Pataki was a strong advocate; heck, he even bought property here in Essex. And, like Pataki, Cuomo genuinely likes spending time in the Adirondacks. He vacations here with his family, sneaking away from Albany many times without the expectation of a headline or a photo opportunity. That, in itself, is the best testimonial.

Yet Cuomo, with deep roots in New York City politics, brings something else to the table that other Adirondack-loving governors have not Ñ the understanding of how to draw attention to this region Ñ get people involved, especially from the downstate movers and shakers

in business and politics.

Throw them in a whitewater raft knowing theyÕ ll enjoy the natural beauty, camaraderie of a paddling team, the spirit of competitiveness and fun, and give them a cold Adirondack beer at the end of the day. Show them a good time, and make some memories. ThatÕ s what people will remember the most when it comes time to make decisions about this special place in northern New York. And itÕ s those memories that will generate positive word-of-mouth advertising and lead to an increase in tourism.

We only hoped the governor would let New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg win the second Adirondack Challenge whitewater rafting race down the Indian River on Monday, July 22. This way, Bloomberg would have bragged about it for years, adding even more word-ofmouth value to the experience. Instead, the governorÕ s competitiveness overpowered his political savvy. Everyone has their weakness.

Cuomo just had to win the second race, too.

The rumblings of criticism about the thousands of people who didnÕ t show up to the Adirondack Challenge Festival in Indian Lake this past weekend are unfair, especially since there was a good crowd of locals and tourists in town. Expectations may have been too high.

We think some people lost sight of the real purpose of the Adirondack Challenge. It wasnÕ t to attract tourists for one weekend; it was to attract tourists for many weekends in the future.

Thanks to the free publicity and the I Love NY advertising campaign for the Adirondack Region, we hope to see thousands more tourists from New York City, Long Island and Westchester County visit these mountains in the months and years ahead, instead of heading to Vermont, New Hampshire or Maine for their vacations.

All in all, the governorÕ s publicity stunt was well worth the time and money, and we thank him for all the attention.

We must also thank the dozens of volunteers and organizers who hosted the townwide festival in Indian Lake for their time, hard work and hospitality. They were somewhat overshadowed by the governor, but they played one of the most important roles over the weekend.

They showed the visitors a good time, as they always do, with a smile and a Ò Come back again soon.Ó Ñ

Kids need to be allowed to fail sometimes

M

any things about being a kid today have changed since I was a kid. Parents and teachers no longer employ physical punishments such as hitting with a hand, ruler or object like a belt. So too is gone ear twisting, hair pulling or the other many expressions of physical punishment that were meted out years ago.

When I was a kid, we didnÕ t sit at the table and participate with adults in conversation the way kids do now and many things were held back from us then as certain topics were taboo. These changes, for the most part are probably positive, one change that is not so positive is the enormous pressure kids are under to be successful at everything every time.

Growing up there were guys that could take apart anything mechanical and fix it and got positive feedback for what were legitimate skills. Others were already working jobs on farms or in stores and were known as hard workers. Some were good athletes which put a spotlight on them and others were good students and were prized for those skills. There were very few or more likely none, who were outstanding at everything they attempted.

IÕ m not sure that was even an expectation in my younger years.

Now, every student or young person must do well at almost everything. There are many well-known examples of people who were failures early on but who later enjoyed outstanding success in their lives.

Michael Jordon wasnÕ t always the greatest basketball player in the world; Abraham Lincoln lost so many elections that he wasnÕ t even able to be elected dog catcher in his home town and the musical genius Mozart was not seen as any kind of genius initially. In her book The New Psychology of Success, Professor, Carol Dweck explains that Ò failure is an important part of learning.Ó Dweck found that there are two possible outcomes from failure, one is that children can become so affected that they become afraid to make further attempts fearing failure or they can realize that failure is part of learning and that these experiences are very valuable. Dweck found that adults around children can heavily affect how they handle success or failure. For example, Dweck warned that parents who frequently tell their kids how smart they are may foster a “fixed mindset and it can backfire.”

Children become strongly invested in intelligence as part of their core identity and when they fail they can become very insecure about their abilities. Ò The self-esteem movement almost brained-washed everyone into believing that we can hand our children self-esteem on a platter by telling them theyÕ re great, theyÕ re smart, theyÕ re talented and gifted. It just doesnÕ t work that way. Actually, those statements often make children more fragile.Ó Rather parents should praise children for problem solving skills for the way they approach a difficulty in their lives.

Children need praise for effort and the willingness to persist in

the face of difficult challenges.

Praise for these behaviors can result in a Ò growth mindset, not a fixed mindset.”

A child who persists with a tough task even if they are failing in the moment can build self-esteem on their own while theyÕ re learning new ways of thinking. Dweck suggests that, Ò process praiseÓ of children between the ages of 1 and three can predict their mindset and desire for challenge five years later.

By Scot Hurlburt Dweck also encouraged parents that Ò this kind of mindset can be encouraged at any age.Ó A fixed mindset undoubtedly limits intellectual growth because the fear of failure embedded in this mindset will discourage intellectual risk taking. Heaps of unearned probably wonÕ t make you a resilient and confident person.

For hovering parents, this might be especially good research to consult. Encouraging children to begin to think about the processes associated with problem-solving seems like good, common sense. Talking to children about keeping their fears about failure in check by understanding that they are growing and developing every day and will experience many failures and successes along the way also seems like good common sense.

Remember, all kids count.

Stand your ground?

To the Valley News: Why didnÕ t Ò Stand your groundÓ apply to Trayvon Martin?

Trayvon was a 17-year-old teenager, not an adult. Trayvon was unarmed, he was terrified with only his fists to protect him.

Zimmerman did not fear for his life, he had a gun. Because of ZimmermanÕ s anger over past circumstances he shot and killed and unarmed teenager. Zimmerman, the aggressor, acting as a vigilanty. He was not a law officer. If the jury had not had their hands tied with only the facts they were allowed to use, Zimmerman would have been given a different verdict. He would be serving time for first degree murder!

Trayvon was trying to get home. Trayvon was unnarmed, he was terrified. Trayvon was fighting for his life, he was “Standing His Ground!Ó Rhea Belden Ticonderoga

WILLSBORO Ñ For the past 33 years, Cornell Cooperative Extension has been researching the science and technology of agriculture at the Cornell E.V. Baker Agricultural Research Farm.

On July 10, farm manager Mike Davis gave local farmers and residents a tour of the research farm, which is currently the site for more than 20 projects on 352 acres of land.

Davis said the Willsboro farm is unique because of its location, rising from the shores of Lake Champlain. Ò The great thing about this farm is that it has a whole range of soil types,Ó he said. Ò You have your sandy surfaces on the higher areas of the farm and then you go down into your heavier soils until you get to the clay near the lake. It lets us look at how some of these cropping systems work on a lot of the soil types that you find here in the North Country.”

One area Davis talked about was the high tunnels that the farm uses in growing produce, including tomatoes. He said the farm has been working with the tunnels for the last eight years because of the previous results. Ò Things love to grow in the tunnel,Ó Davis said. Ò We started with fruits like raspberries and blackberries with an accompanying outdoor plot. The yield inside the tunnel was four times more than outside.Ó Amy Ivy of Cornell Cooperative Extension said important information for regional farmers is discovered at the farm. Ò The consistency that we can get from the research data here is very important as we look to improve agriculture and growing in the North Country,Ó Ivy said.

Those attending the event were taken on a wagon tour of the farm, stopping to look at research being done on crop plantings, grass and wood biomass research, grain production and grape growing, among others.

of a burden on social services. If you can call the town and say we are looking at renting out a certain place, can you go in and say that we need to have a certificate of occupancy.”

Social Services Director John OÕ Neill said his department cannot make those requests because of privacy laws. He also said that the state allowances make it hard at times to find higher quality housing. Ò Unfortunately, with the shelter allowances that the state pays, usually the only places that people can afford are in pretty low condition and we cannot do anything about that,Ó OÕ Neill said. “Even if we could do this, the certificate of occupancy is a local law and that does not supersede the state law. The only authority social services has is if the landlord wants a security agreement. Then we can go in and do an aesthetic survey but nothing more than that.Ó Scozzafava said that making sure an apartment is safe for tenants is part of state law. Ò We all have local laws and we are all required by state law to obey the state fire and building laws,Ó he said. Ò I just do not understand why the county cannot send in a code enforcement officer. I am not concerned with the aesthetics I am more concerned with the safety.Ó Ò This is really a state issue because it is a state fire and building code issue,” Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey said. Ò If something were to happen to the house, I would want to know is there any liability on us because there was no review of the apartment before we rented.Ó Ò With what I have in writing and with the

terms with what we can legally do, then yes, we are covered,Ó OÕ Neill responded. Ò I have shared everything with our county attorney just to make sure. As long as we are following the law, then we are covered.Ó OÕ Neill said that if someone in the house reports that there is a safety issue, then they can stop payments to the landlord and call in a code enforcement officer. Ò You do not get a lot of those because the tenant does not want to lose what they have,Ó OÕ Neill said. Ò There are not a lot of options for them in Essex County in terms of apartments.Ó Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said that the county could make their own regulation. Ò If the county says that we are doing an annual check of all our rental properties, then it is not something that the Department of Social

Services is doing but the town or the county is doing,Ó Bartley said.

Scozzafava said that making sure an apartment is safe was something he deals with at the federal level. Ò I have an apartment that I rent to HUD and they are there every year checking on the condition of it,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò If the federal government can do it, why canÕ t we?Ó Ò In our town, we have our own HUD program,Ó Jay Supervisor and board chairman Randy Douglas said. Ò We have had to go in and shut down tenants. There has got to be a way to do it in the state.Ó Scozzafava also pointed a finger at absentee landlords. Ò They are not here, and all they care about is making sure they get that check every month,Ó he said.

Supervisors look to make social services housing safer

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava believes there must be a way to make sure the county is paying for quality housing for those in need.

During the July 8 Human Services Committee meeting, Scozzafava again brought up the topic of having any apartment rented out to those using financial assistance from the county being required to have a certificate of occupancy. Ò I am just saying if they could notify the town when they are going to be renting a place and then we will take it from there,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò I do not feel that it puts that much

Adirondack Challenge from page 1

Monday, July 21 and 22, and the stateÕ s media was focused on the Adirondack Park the entire time, something Cuomo intended as a boost to local tourism.

The governor was accompanied by a large contingent of politicians (state, county and local), executive aides, rafting professionals and press, all supported by a cadre of volunteers from Indian Lake. This all started with a mention by Cuomo in Janu-

Your National Connection To Local Media

July 27, 2013

aryÕ s State of the State address. As many had hoped, Indian Lake became the selected venue, being billed as the stateÕ s Ò Whitewater Capital.Ó For several weeks, the town of Indian Lake pulled together all its government and community resources in preparation for the event. This effort was driven by a number of motives, not the least of which was community pride and a desire to showcase the town to the visiting dignitaries, press and public in the best possible light, while enjoying the fruits of the eventÕ s ability to increase recognition and tourism within the town.

A few saw the event as the Ò magic bulletÓ that would go a long way to solving many of the townÕ s perceived shortcomings, but most were more realistic and longer-term in their thinking.

During his address at the July 21 award ceremony held at the Gore Mountain ski center in North Creek after the river run, Cuomo defined his objective. Ò I want to get the word out about the Adirondacks,Ó Cuomo said. Ò People just donÕ t know what we haveÉ all we have to do is show them … you can’t find this any where else on the globe.”

And, the governor put his back into accomplishing this objective. The Ò raceÓ ran a mere 3-mile section of the Indian River and was not expected to take much more than 25 minutes. All along the route, cameras were flashing and videos were recording the beauty of the scenery and the fun being had by all participants along the way. Footage of the area surrounding Indian Lake was taken from the air. It was a well-oiled publicity machine being focused on the whitewater and paddling opportunities that exist in this beautiful and pristine part of the Adirondack Region of New York state.

On Monday morning, CBS Morning News was giving the event, the Adirondacks and the governor national broadcast coverage that included a mention of the town of Indian Lake.

State Sen. Betty Little was very pleased with CuomoÕ s efforts.

“I will be the first to admit that when I first heard of the idea, I thought that the governor was joking, but it was no joke,Ó Little said. Ò The governor follows through on what he says he will do.Ó

Little went on to describe the governor as the No. 1 fan of the Adirondacks. Ò He understands the need for help to turn the Adirondacks around,Ó Little said. Ò What do you think this level of publicity would cost? It just does not get any better than this.Ó Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber showed the governor around Indian Lake over the weekend, accompanying him to the Indian Lake Volunteer Fire Department barbecue on Saturday, July 20. During the award ceremony at Gore on July 21, Farber called for more Adirondack Challenges in the future with activities such as mountain biking and fishing.

“We need to find more opportunities to link our counties together,Ó Farber said.

Regarding a spirit of cooperation that leads to the success of the region and all its parts, Farber noted that the Adirondack Challenge was held in three counties: rafts launched in Indian Lake in Hamilton County, the rafts pulled out of the Indian River in Minerva in Essex County, and the award ceremonies in North Creek in Warren County.

During his closing remarks July 21, Cuomo also touched on a theme of cooperation and pulling together when discussing the well-known economic needs of the counties and small towns of the Adirondack region. Ó For good times or bad times, nobody comes together like the people in this state,Ó Cuomo said.

Like the dam opening on Abanakee Lake, the Adirondack Challenge was seen by many as providing a Ò bubbleÓ of sorts.

In all likelihood, this event, if joined with other similar efforts on the part of state and county governments, will increase tourism and possibly have an effect on improving the economy and adding jobs in the long term. It is certainly true that efforts at levels above the individual towns may provide the bubble of water to float upon, but the real Adirondack challenge is up to communities and groups of communities to learn how best to take advantage of the bubble by cooperating and pulling together in guiding the boat that is the Adirondacks.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s team gets ready to race against New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s team July 22 during the Adirondack Challenge in Indian Lake.

Savage named to sixth team all state

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE Ñ AuSable Valley catcher Dillon Savage started the season hot and never let up.

What may be more impressive is the fact that he started the season at all.

Savage, who was named to the New York State SportswriterÕ s AssociationÕ s sixth team All State, returned to the diamond five months after breaking his ankle during the PatriotsÕ second-to-last football game of the season.

Savage, a junior, injured the ankle in a rain-soaked cross-over game at Ticonderoga, a game that was being held as a warmup for the Class C finals against Saranac Lake. The injury required pins to be inserted in order to stabilize the break.

Savage was able to return for the final few games of the winter hockey season, playing for the Lake Placid Blue Bombers, who consolidated with AuSable Valley to help field a team.

As the leg continued to get better, Savage returned to his catching duties for the Patriots baseball team, starting the season

Dillon Savage had a .566 batting average this season for the AuSable Valley Patriots, earning a sixth team All State nod from the New York State Sportswriter’s Association.

opener behind the plate with a 4-for-4 performance including a home run and a pair of doubles.

For the season, his fourth on the varsity level, Savage led the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference with a jaw dropping

.566 batting average. He also was the league leader in doubles (7) and home runs (3), while finishing second in triples (3) and tied for third with 20 runs batted in and scored 11 times. In addition, he struck out only twice the entire season.

SPCA

from page 1 example of how to do something and do it well and do it right,Ó Little said.

The 3,200-square-foot building was designed by ARQ Architects, who were in charge of the renovation of the SPCA headquarters in New York City. The New York City shelter is being used as a national model for its ventilation, lighting, for being nearly sound proof, its energy efficiency and for providing a stress-free environment for animals.

The shelter also features a sophisticated ventilation system, which keeps it at a comfortable temperature and prevents illnesses like parvo, a highly contagious virus for dogs, from spreading from one animal to another. Ò Something like this doesnÕ t happen easily but it sure is worth the effort and they say good things take time and take energy and take a lot of wonderful generous people to make it possible,Ó Little said. Ò Many, many animals are going to be here and hopefully not for long and they all thank you for what a difference and such a place for them to be in until they go to a good home.Ó Little said the new shelter is a much more pleasant and comfortable facility to visit when people are considering adopting an animal. Prospective adoptive parents can see that animals are in better shape and a better mood because of the environment in which they live. Ò I think the adoptions will probably take place a lot faster than they have in the past,Ó Little said. Ò Thank you to everyone. IÕ m just honored to be here and proud to represent all of you and those who did participate. This is a prime example of something else the North Country can do better than anyone else.Ó For more information about the shelter or to find out how to adopt an animal call 873-5000.

Sen. Betty Little cuts the ceremonial ribbon at the opening day at the North Country SPCA on July 20 with board members Pat Tivnan and Margie Reuther.

“Gruesome Playground Injuries,” a new play by the critically acclaimed young writer, Rajiv Joseph, will be showing July 25, 26, 27, 28 and Aug. 1, 2, 3, 4 at the Recovery Lounge on Route 9N on the Ausable River in Upper Jay. The play is an emotional roller coaster that begins when Doug and Kayleen meet, wounded, at age 8 in a parochial school infirmary. Through a series of non-linear vignettes that bounce over 3 decades, this unconventional story illustrates how complicated, jagged, and sublime the curse of love can be. With local actors Olivia Zeis and Martin Deslauriers, this production, staged by Recovery Lounge Artistic Director Scott Renderer, will leave you smarting from its sharp humor and even sharper insights.

All shows begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $18 or $10 for students. Reservations are required. For more information, call 946-8315 or to see a video preview of the play, featuring an original score by Chris Kowanko, at the Upper Jay Art Center Channel or http://tinyurl.com/UJAC-VideoChannel.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The new board of directors of the Essex County Arts Council announces the recipients of the 2013 Cultural Assistance Program (CAP) Grants.

The organizations receiving project support are: Adirondack Arts Association, Adirondack Shakespeare Company, Champlain Valley Film Society, East Branch Friends of the Arts, Essex Community Concerts, Essex Initiatives, Fort Ticonderoga, Lake Placid Sinfonietta, Lakeside School, Moriah Chamber of Commerce, Piano By Nature, PRIDE of Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga Festival Guild, Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, Upper Jay Art Center, and Westport Heritage House. Organizations receiving general operating support include: Adirondack Architectural Heritage, Appleby Foundation, Depot Theatre, Historic Saranac Lake and Seagle Music Colony.

CAP Grants are made possible with public funds from Essex County in recognition of the importance of the arts to its communities, citizens and visitors. Any recognized arts, historical, preservation, library, museum or other non-profit organization providing a cultural enrichment program for Essex County residents may apply.

The Essex County Arts Council was incorporated in 1983 and its name changed to the Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks (ACNA) in 1994. In 2012, ACNA experienced the loss of New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) funding, which supported the Decentralization Program (DEC) and paid for the arts council’s staff and office. The name ACNA, which was used when the arts councilÕ s territory included southern Franklin County, will no longer be used because the arts council now serves only Essex County. The organization has reverted to its original name, the Essex County Arts Council.

In the spring, the retiring ACNA board of directors elected a new board to continue the work of the arts council in a new environment of reduced funding. The new arts council board members are: Sharon Reynolds, President, Ticonderoga Kalora Finucane, Treasurer, Essex Bill Johnston, Assistant Treasurer, Wadhams Debby Rice, Secretary, Keene Margaret Gibbs, Elizabethtown Tony Kostecki, Schroon Lake Leslie Shipps, Keene Valley Linda Smyth, Port Henry open the fair, along with the second year of the milking contest between members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors, which has already been a topic of conversation at the Elizabethtown meetings. Ò A year ago I was really embarrassed,Ó Westport Supervisor and fair board member Dan Connell said at last monthÕ s DPW Committee meeting. Ò Mr. Marnell beat me in the milking contest and I really want to challenge him because I would like my title back. I held that for 10 years.Ó Ò I will accept that challenge, but I want one thing clear that DanÕ s up here in farm country and I donÕ t want him soliciting these barns and checking these (cows) out,Ó Marnell replied.

Governor launches Adirondack ad campaign

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Coinciding with the inaugural Ò Adirondack Challenge,Ó the Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office has launched a new television advertisement prominently featuring the Adirondack region as a destination for outdoor tourist activities.

The ad is part of a $60 million campaign launched in May, aimed at growing New York state industry, creating jobs and attracting tourists to the state. Ò With more than 2,000 miles of hiking trails, 3,000 lakes and ponds and stunning natural wonders, the Adirondacks and North Country make for the perfect summer escape,Ó Cuomo said in a press release.

The ad features Adirondack guides from different disciplines singing the praises of the Adirondacks while participating in the activities they love. The ad opens with shots of whitewater rafters and hikers, along with a view of a picturesque Adirondack lake, while an announcer declares: Ò This summer, New YorkÕ s Adirondacks and North Country are back and open for business.Ó The initiative is aimed at helping the region continue to recover from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee two years ago. Ò I think itÕ s a tremendous initiative,Ó said Greg Borzilleri, owner of Mirror Lake Boat Rentals in Lake

Placid. A clip of Borzilleri paddling a stand-up-paddleboard on Mirror Lake appears in the ad. Ò To native New Yorkers, my message is simple: Ô thereÕ s no reason to leave the state this summerÕ and to everyone else looking for the perfect summer getaway, I say, Ô come experience the Adirondacks and North Country,Õ Ó Cuomo continued in the release. Ò The governor is obviously very friendly to the North Country. I think itÕ s great that theyÕ re trying to get the people from downstate (to) upstate ... keep it in the family is my theory,Ó Borzelleri said.

Here are two screen shots from the new I Love NY advertisement promoting the Adirondack North Country region, with Heart Lake in Lake Placid on the left and Westport guide Elizabeth Lee on the right.
