Sales tax increase approved by state, county

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

Annual Energy Expo scheduled in Keeseville

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ After years of lobbying the state, Essex County finally has a sales tax increase.

Members of the county Board of Supervisors voted 17-0 during a special meeting Aug. 26 to increase their share of the sales tax from 3.75 percent to 4.00 percent. The increase brings the total sales tax figure to 8.0 percent with state and county combined.

Westport Supervisor Dan Connell was unable to attend the meeting.

The change will go into effect Dec. 1.

Thieves strike Essex Co. fairgrounds Cornell officials concerned about 4-H ranch panel pilfery in Westport

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

Girl Scouts work towards awards at senior center PAGE 14

WESTPORT Ñ Equipment used to hold youth horse shows during the Essex County Fair has come up missing three weeks after the annual festival.

According to Linda Gilliland of Cornell Cooperative Extension, eight 10foot galvanized ranch panels were stolen from the fairgroundsÕ horse show ring Aug. 19. Ò An eyewitness stated that a dark colored pickup truck drove onto the fairgrounds and stopped at the cattle show ring,Ó Gilliland said. Ò Two men got out and proceeded to load up the ranch panels into their truck bed. They

were very quiet loading up the panels but drove off in a big hurry.Ó The panels are valued at over $100 each and are used to help provide a secure location for 4-H youth members to work with their livestock.

Gilliland said the panels were paid for through fundraising efforts by members of the Essex County 4-H organizations. Ò It took several years for our 4-H youth, their tireless leaders and adult volunteers to collect and return enough recyclables and hold bake sales to purchase these panels to provide a safe and secure place to work with their horses, cattle, sheep, goats and hogs,Ó she said. Ò Although these men may have

thought they were stealing from the Fair, they should be aware they were actually stealing from children.Ó Along with use by 4-H, the panels were also loaned out to people who needed temporary enclosures for animals. Ò Our 4-H members have graciously loaned out these portable panels in time of community need such as when the Evens family experienced a devastating barn fire or when the Fair needed to use them to set up temporary stalls for animal exhibits,Ó Gilliland said.

If anyone has any information, please contact the New York State Police or Cornell Cooperative Extension.

Adirondack Hardware celebrates 13 years of Energy Expo

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE Ñ Adirondack Hardware will host its 13th annual Energy Expo Friday, Sept. 6, and Saturday, Sept. 7, at its Keeseville store at 1698 Front St. Roger Long Jr. said the event is held annually to help customers throughout the North Country prepare for the colder months that are ahead. Ò WeÕ re trying to get people to think ahead,Ó Long said. Ò This way people can avoid the panic of trying to find an alternative source of heat.Ó By holding the event in early September, Long said it also gives the service members of the hardware store an opportunity to help the customers find the right unit, do a site visit to size out the home properly and set an install date.

Long said the goal of the expo is to continue to give people a chance to see the options that are out there for home heating. Ò Everybody from manufacturers down to homeowners are looking to find ways to save through energy efficiency and energy conservation,Ó he said.

Long said there are numerous options for home heating at the store, including direct vent heaters (run on natural gas, propane and kerosene) and water heaters from Tayotomi and Rinnai; and Napoleon wood stoves, pellet stoves, liquid propane, combination and natural gas stoves.

Along with heating systems, Adirondack Hardware also provides energy efficient new construction and replacement windows from Silverline by Anderson Windows. Ò They are the largest manufacturer of new construction and replacement windows in the country,Ó Long said.

In tandem with the Energy Expo, the Keeseville store will also be holding a tent sale with items prices at $1, $3, $5 and $10. Ò We are trying to take much of the stuff

that has been on inventory at our three stores (Keeseville, Willsboro and Malone) and have basically a huge reduction sale,Ó Long said. Ò People are going to be able to get a great bargain.Ó The Adirondack Hardware Energy Expo will run from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 6, and again from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7.

Regular store hours for all three stores are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; 7:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Sunday (open until 2 p.m. at Malone site).

For more information, call the Keeseville Adirondack Hardware at 834-9790 or visit the website adirondackhardware.com.

Adirondack Hardware in Keeseville (above) will host its 13th annual Energy Expo Sept. 6-7, which will include deals on their lines of heating products (right).

Area schools prepare to open their doors for 2013-14 year

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Ring the bell. SchoolÕ s back in.

Local schools will welcome students back to their hallways and

classrooms next week, with all area schools opening Thursday, Sept. 5.

AuSable Valley will ring the opening bell on Sept. 5, which will be a full day of classes.

Elizabethtown-Lewis will also open for the first full day of school

New online STAR registration plan outlined by state ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The New York State Tax Department today unveiled an easy, fast and secure online STAR Registration platform for homeowners currently receiving the Basic STAR property tax exemption. The system will facilitate Governor CuomoÕ s 2013-14 Budget initiative to save New York taxpayers millions by eliminating inappropriate STAR property tax exemptions.

The STAR Program provides 2.6 million homeowners with savings on their school property tax bills each year, but is only available for an individualÕ s or familyÕ s primary residence. The GovernorÕ s initiative follows a Tax Department investigation that showed some homeowners were receiving the exemption on more than one property.

The Tax Department is mailing letters to all 2.6 million Basic STAR recipients. The letter includes registration instructions for the DepartmentÕ s online application. It also provides homeowners with a telephone number for registration or questions at 457-2036. The deadline for completing the registration is Dec. 31.

The registration applies only to Basic STAR recipients; senior citizens receiving the Enhanced STAR exemption are not impacted. In order to continue receiving Enhanced STAR, seniors must continue to apply annually or participate in the Income Verification Program.

The Basic STAR exemption is available for owner-occupied, primary residences where the combined income of resident owners and their spouses is $500,000 or less. Married couples with multiple residences are only eligible to receive one

Basic STAR exemption.

The average homeowner benefit as a result of Basic STAR is $700 annually. Statewide, total savings are nearly $1.9 billion each year. The Basic and Enhanced STAR exemptions are the only property tax exemptions reimbursed by New York State.

The registration program will impact Basic STAR exemptions for 2014 and beyond; it does not impact 2013 exemptions. Homeowners will not have to reregister every year Ð based on the information provided in the registration process, the Tax Department will monitor homeownersÕ eligibility in future years.

Sept. 5. They will have a full day of school.

Keene Central will also open for the first full day of school Sept. 6 with a full day.

Westport Central School will open Thursday, Sept. 5. This will be a full-

day session for all students. The opening day agenda for students in grades 7-12 will include homeroom activities and mini-class rotation allowing the students to visit all their assigned classes. Students in grades K-6 will have classroom time as well.

All students will enjoy a picnic lunch.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Main Office at 9628244.

In Willsboro, school will open for students on Sept. 5 with a full day of classes.

More than 40 people in and around the community attended the auction in support of College For Every Student (CFES), raising more than $27,000. The money will be used to support underfunded local programs in the Adirondack region of Upstate New York, as well as its global initiative. This year the CFES program will be implemented in St. Joseph’s Secondary School in Dublin, Ireland, with the support of Trinity College Dublin. On April 10, CFES will host a global summit at the Essex center, convening organizations and college partners from around the globe to discuss college access and success strategies.

ave you seen the Summer 2013 edition of Pawprints? Our quarterly publication is hot off the press... if you are not on our mailing list, you can stop by the North Country SPCAÕ s new shelter in Elizabethtown to pick up your very own copy! Our current publication is full of heartwarming adoption stories, information about out new shelter, a statement from Jessica Hartley, our new Executive Director, and lots more! It is well worth a stop by the shelter to pick up a copy; while youÕ re there, why not take some time to meet our many adoptable animals... you may even find your new best friend! We currently have over 50 dogs and cats of all ages and sizes hoping to find their forever homes.

Our featured pet this week is Homer, an adorable Beagle-mix who was found wandering searching for food and a soft bed. Now that he is here, he doesnÕ t want to leave! We have to literally drag him out of bed in the mornings. Homer is an easygoing fellow who is happy to have a full belly and a soft comfy bed. He loves to go for walks with his nose to the ground but really loves to come back to the comforts of home. Homer is very quiet; we havenÕ t heard a peep out of him since he has arrived, and he is very neat in his kennel.

We think he is only a year or two old. With

he members of the Westport Ambulance Squad would like to thank everyone who donated so generously to our recent Stretcher Drive. The response was truly inspiring and exceeded our goal, which was to purchase a stretcher with power lift capacity to match the one in our other ambulance. As I explained earlier, we have two ambulances and only one automatic stretcher. The old stretcher was manual lift. Thanks to your contributions we were able to purchase a better-equipped model than the one we were thinking of, one with heavy duty adjustable guard-rails on the sides. This will allow us to better serve bariatric (plus-size) patients and provide them with greater comfort during transport.

Would you like to have a look at the new stretcher? Or visit the Firehouse for a tour of the ambulances and fire trucks?

Maybe youÕ ll wind up joining our volunteer firefighters or EMS crew! We are always looking for new volunteers. Drop me an email and IÕ ll be happy to set it up and answer any questions you might have.

ow what a great deal to turn 80 years of age, my family treated me royally as some 21 members of my family came together for a great meal at the Essex Inn on Saturday evening. It was great to have four generations come together the youngest at 16 months to me at 80 years of age. Then on Sunday they had a big reception after the regular church service at the Methodist church in my honor it was all wonderful.

It was delightful to learn that Betty Ledden was in town for a brief visit and will also celebrate a birthday on Aug. 28, nice to have you return from time to time.

There will be music, games, a farmers market and of course the creations of that guru of the grill, Chef Jeremy. His menu is a closely guarded secret, but his devotees come from as far as Lewis and Willsboro to feast on his creations.

With any luck and some clear skies, we may see northern lights later this week.

Every eleven years, the sunÕ s magnetic fields reverse themselves and in the process the sun throws off huge streams of energized particles that react with ions high in our atmosphere to create the shimmery effects known as the aurora. WeÕ re at the eleven year mark right now. There are other causes of the aurora, but this is the most predictable one. IÕ ve only seen one spectacular display in the thirty years IÕ ve lived in Reber, with waves of orange and green flickering overhead for several hours. No doubt IÕ ve slept through plenty of them. WeÕ re too far south from the North Pole to see them regularly, but theyÕ re most active in the spring and fall.

Captions should be 100 words or less. Visit their website at www.champlainareatrails.com for more information under the contest section.

DonÕ t forget the multimedia art show which is running now through Sept. 12 at the Keeseville Free Library. As always I was very impressed with all the great artwork Ð photographs, woodwork, pottery, and other media. A wonderful show highlighting the great talent we have in our community.

Still an amazing number of birds around which pleases my cat no end. Blue Jays are definitely the favored for her afternoon entertainment. If youÕ ve never had a bird feeder I highly recommend getting one at Adirondack Hardware then sit back and enjoy the show.

Keeseville village leaders against current dissolution plan

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE Ñ Members of the Keeseville Village Board of Trustees did their duty by adopting a dissolution plan after residents of the municipality voted in favor of ending the village earlier this year.

Now that a plan is in place with a referendum set for Oct. 22, Mayor Dale Holderman said he and his fellow board members are going to let people know how they really feel. Ò Even though the board accepted the plan, we are all 100 percent against dissolution,Ó Holderman said. Ò I feel that there are holes in the plan and that the savings it represents are not accurate.Ó The board accepted the plan that was created through a year-long process, which included the creation of a dissolution committee. Holderman, along with trustee Mary King, were members of the committee.

Holderman said one of his problems in the plan was how future salaries were calculated. Ò They used the village labor rates to project payroll for the new town employees,Ó Holderman said. Ò Historically, the towns have paid much more to their employees than the village has. I believe that creates a $300,000 to 400,000 shortfall in the estimates for services, and that is just in providing wages that are equal to what they have been paying before.Ó Throughout the committee meetings, discussion focused on if dissolution would mean lower taxes for residents of the villages along

with comparable taxes for residents in the towns of Chesterfield (Essex County) and Ausable (Clinton County), both towns within the village limits.

The dissolution plan, with results from the study, stated that residents in all affected areas could save between $300 and $700 on their annual taxes. The calculations were based on

a home assessed at $100,000.

Holderman said he was still unsure. Ò I just couldnÕ t see how the town could do all of this cheaper,Ó he said. Ò To provide the same amount of services, it is going to cost more. I personally believe that 70 percent of the savings that this plan projects is not going to happen.Ó

Now that the matter has reached the point of public referendum, Holderman said he and the board will be talking with residents about their belief that the village should not be dissolved. Ò We are talking one-on-one with people now,Ó he said. Ò There are not going to be any more public meetings or hearings. It is in the hands of the voters now, and that is what I wanted back when we accepted the original petition. I wanted this second chance for voters to have a final say on the matter, which they would not have had without the original petition.Ó Holderman said that he has watched as other areas have discussed the matter of dissolution and brought it to a vote in Port Henry and Champlain, where both times the issue was defeated.

He said there seems to be a trend going away from dissolving villages. Ò We now have the luxury of going to a Seneca Falls or a Fort Edward to see what has happened since and see how the people fee about it now,Ó he said. Ò I think that there has been a shift in how people look at dissolution.Ó In the end, Holderman believes it comes down to control. Ò When people in a village control their own destiny, you do not want to lose that,Ó he said.

The referendum on the dissolution plan is set for Tuesday, Oct. 22, with voting from noon to 9 p.m. at the Keeseville village offices.

The death toll from 9/11 continues to rise

O

n Sept. 11, 2001, 2,606 people were killed when terrorists dive bombed the twin towers in New York City, both inside and outside the buildings. Another 266 died aboard the four hijacked airliners.

But the real untold story is that a total of 4,252 people have actually perished as a result of the deadly attack Ñ and they are still dying today.

In the years since that devastating day, at least 1,400 first responders have died as a direct result of illnesses caused by the toxic cloud that engulfed lower Manhattan for months after the attack. An estimated 19,000 are now sick or dying. Thats the dirty little secret that politicians donÕ t want to talk about, and very few people even know about.

When the twin towers went down, uniformed first responders and civilians alike flocked to Ground Zero hoping to help in whatever way they could. State and Federal agencies, the National Guard and the Red Cross brought people in from around the country. The air, they were told, was safe. The head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Christine Todd Whitman herself, took to the airways to reassure people.

Lower Manhattan had to re-open for business Ñ thatÕ s where the stock market is after all.

Try to bring your old computer to the landfill and throw it away. You can’t. It’s against the law. Why? Because of all the chemicals and hazardous materials that are inside. Now picture the fact that every desk in every office in the twin towers had a computer on it, and they all burned in the fire after the towers fell, releasing toxic vapors that hung in the air for months.

Plus there was cement dust, asbestos, and

burned plastic. But the air was safe to breath, responders were told.

The first wave of illnesses and deaths following 9/11 were lung related. The second wave, which many experts warned about at the time, is cancer. Of the 19,000 sick responders, roughly 2,000 have a certified form of cancer. Many others have cancers that have not been officially recognized as being related to 9/11. And this doesnÕ t count an unknown number of people who fell ill or have died, but didnÕ t relate it to their time at Ground Zero.

In 2010 Congress grudgingly passed the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, setting up a Victims Compensation Fund for responders, but not until billions of dollars were slashed from the fund in order to overcome a Republican filibuster.

October 3 is the deadline for registering with the Victims Compensation Fund. People who were at Ground Zero, whether they were first responders or civilian volunteers, are being urged to register with the program, even if they are not currently sick. Anyone who develops a 9/11-related illness on Oct. 4 who is not registered, will be entitled to nothing.

Of the 19,000 people registered with the VictimÕ s Compensation Fund, 12,000 are not from the tri-state area. There are 435 congressional districts in the United States, and 430 of them have at least one registered 9/11 responder.

This is a national problem, and one that is not going to go away no matter how much politicians wish to ignore it. Americans are still dying as a direct result of the 9/11 attacks, and more are likely to become sick as the years go by. ItÕ s not something we can afford to put in the rear view mirror and hope it goes away.

Letters to the Editor

Sad day for justice

To the Valley News: Aug. 8, 2013 was a sad day for justice and for a well revered family of Crown Point. Society was not served well when Judge Richard B. Meyer handed down the maximum sentence allowed under the plea agreement reached in the People v. David R. Lang case.

Background, for anyone not familiar with the tragic consequences of a drunken afternoon on a family farm in June 2012: David R. Lang shot and killed his brother Russell, at the residence they shared on the family farm on Lake Road in Crown Point.

Both David and Russell were lifelong Crown Point residents.

This horrific incident was David’s first criminal offense of any type. Family and friends have always contended that this was an alcohol-fueled tragic accident. They obviously knew first hand, the love and destructive enabling that existed between their brothers.

Jury selection was to begin on July 8, 2013. But on June 5, David was brought to the court, unbeknownst to any in his family.

Judge Meyer started the hearing by stating his wishes to have David LangÕ s trial to begin in a weekÕ s time because another case on his docket had been cleared. David LangÕ s Public Defender, Brandon Boutelle, protested the one week notice, citing evidentiary items were still being gathered and expert testimony, on DavidÕ s blood alcohol level at the time of the shooting incident, were still not in. After a barrage of questioning by Judge Meyer, as to wether he would even allow such an expert to appear in his courtroom, a recess was called. Within the short recess, out of public eyes, a plea agreement was reached. No call was made or attempted to contact the victimÕ s family. Because that family was also DaveÕ s family.

On the afternoon of Aug. 8, sentencing began with the theatrics of a district attorney on the verge of her third electoral bid.

Her lust for winning overshadowed any compassion or decency towards the surviving family. She construed a soliloquy of how events transpired on that fateful day in June 2012. But DA SpragueÕ s timeline of events was riddled with suppositions that did not come out at trial (there was none) or acknowledged in any plea deal. With all of DavidÕ s family and friend in attendance, sitting behind him, DA. Sprague mocked letters sent to the court pleading for leniency. The court had received numerous letters from David (and RussellÕ s) family, friends, community and beyond. Sprague made reference that lacking in all of these correspondences was compassion for the deceased of the two brothers.

She stated that all concern in the letters was for David and not Russell. She mocked one letter that included references to other examples of alcohol-infused family tragedies that had received leniency.

I find DA Sprague’s comments appalling and completely insensitive to this much respected and private family. Judge Meyer obviously agreed with the DA in sentencing David to the maxi-

Sales tax

Continued from page 1 Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week signed legislation allowing counties across the state to make the same increase to their sales tax, which County Manager Daniel Palmer said would reflect an added $2 million in revenue for Essex County. Ò I think that it is safe to say that this is something that is desperately needed,Ó Palmer said. “That figure represents about 12 percent of the tax levy that will now be raised through sales tax. It is the change you guys have been fighting for over the last four or five years.” Ò The amount that we will be taken in and the amount that equals on the tax levy is something that is important for people to know,Ó Elizabethtown Margaret Bartley said.

The increase will put Essex County on par with neighbors Clinton and

Dave will be 91 years old by then. The surviving familyÕ s wishes for leniency was first mocked then ignored.

Society at large will not be a better or safer place with David locked up. Public Defender Boutelle stated that senior citizens locked up in prisons share an exorbitant amount of the money spent on prisoners due to their failing health and old age.

David spent an entire 70 years in Crown Point, without any criminal history. He is a friend to many. His severe alcohol addiction (coinciding with RussellÕ s) led to this family tragedy. CanÕ t we as a community have compassion on this well respected family? In a compassionate society, that could think out of the box, in extraordinary circumstances, such as these, could surely could come up with a way to serve the public good. I am struck with a vision that David could have been rehabilitated with alcohol treatment and confinement to his own property. Home confinement, coupled with alcohol and movement ankle bracelets, could have been an out-of-the-box punishment rather then what amounts to a life sentence in a state penitentiary, with the most hardened and violent live-long offenders. Taxpayers would not have had the burden of paying for DavidÕ s end of life care and needs.

When might thoughtfulness come into play instead of the Draconian incarceration of a first-time senior citizen offender? Why shouldnÕ t the victimÕ s family be kept apprised by the DA, of any court appearances and plea deals, even when they are similarly related to the defendant? Why shouldnÕ t their feelings be considered when rendering comments and sentence upon the defendant?

So in going forward, can we assume that DA Sprague, when faced with a similar case, involving a tragedy within one family, that she will disregard and even mock the surviving kin? In her mission statement it reads: Ò The DA and her staff realize that all victims deserve to be treated with compassion and respect.Ó That is not what I witnessed in the courtroom.

Boat should have been inspected To the Valley News: Based on what I’ve read, two fishermen were ticketed for having milfoil and one with water chestnuts and they are going before the judge in Ti. They are responsible to check their own boats/ trailers, and be personally responsible for any violations for failing to do so. There is no excuse for failing to check your boat/trailer, when the potential consequences are so high. This regionÕ s taxpayers already spent millions to try to keep Lake George free of these aquatic invaders and face many more millions if boaters donÕ t take this seriously. This boat should have been checked by its owner.

Franklin County, which were already imposing the 4 percent county sales tax (8 percent total with the state share) and will help the county make up for lost revenue from other state and federal funds.

“Since 2008, the county has lost approximately $4.5 million in revenue sources from state and federal funds,Ó Palmer said. Ò Essex County is a tourism-driven county. We have over a million visitors that come in on an annual basis. This increase is an opportunity to collect more revenue from those visitors.Ó County Attorney Dan Manning said vendors in the county would be notified through mail of the change as well as through advertising. Ò This will give businesses enough time to switch over their machines,Ó he said.

Some supervisors expressed their approval for the resolution before voting. Ò A tax is a tax, but this is certainly not

Elections

Continued from page 1 Bryon Scott Moran, who filed both an independent and Republican Party petition, will be joined in the race by Travis Crowningshield, Jason Morgan, Dean King and Daniel Koenig.

Each are seeking to replace longtime department head Pete Jacques, who is not seeking reelection.

The new candidates bring the total number of people seeking votes from their fellow Willsboro residents to 19, more than doubling most other towns in the county.

In the town of Essex, Edward J. Gardner filed an independent petition to challenge incumbent Sharon Boisen for the office of supervisor.

Boisen also only filed as an independent.

In Ticonderoga, Steven Whitford joined the race by filing an independent petition along with Richard Grinnell and incumbent Debra Malaney, both of whom filed Republican petitions and will face off for the official part nomination in the Sept. 10 primary. With the filing of independent petitions, the loser of the primary will still be involved in the Nov. 5 General Election.

The following is a list of candidates who have filed petitions for the 2013 election (i refers to having filed an independent petition, not party affiliation or incumbent status):

as regressive as property tax is,Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò I am sure none of us want to impose an additional tax, but this is a much more fair way to do so.Ó Ò I canÕ t ever remember personally saying that I would rather go to this restaurant and eat because it is only at 7.75 percent instead of 8,” Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said. Ò This is not something that Gov. Cuomo took lightly,Ó Board Chair and Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas said. Ò This is one that we felt that home rule was important. He reached out to truly understand what this meant to small communities like ours.Ó Douglas also thanked the local state representatives for helping to get the measure signed by Cuomo, including Sen. Betty Little, Assemblyman Dan Stec and former Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward. He also thanked Manning, Palmer and County Treasurer Michael Diskin for their involvement.

Being Rich is Getting Better

R

ecently it was announced that the Obama administration will offer super rich companies a chance to bring back billions of dollars to the U.S. and the government will incentivize them to do so.

The American lawmakers that made it legal for U.S. companies to operate outside the U.S. and to hold millions and billions in tax protected locations around the world like Switzerland or Ireland now want to give those same companies yet another break. I guess it shouldnÕ t be surprising that these advantages are compounded over and over and over again for wealthy Americans.

Now a research study from Sallie Mae, funders of college tuition for students, reveals that students from more affluent families receive more incentive money from colleges than students from families lower on the income scale. Historically, we were lead to believe that discretionary money from colleges were aimed at low income students and therefore, theoretically affording the opportunity to Ò break the cycle of poverty.Ó If current trends hold into the future, the stairway to upward social mobility may be partially occluded or eliminated altogether.

The Sallie Mae study found that students from wealthier families on average, received college awards of $10,213 while their low income counterparts received $7,127. The New America Study author Stephen Burd wrote that, Ò With the relentless pursuit of prestige and revenue, the nationÕ s public and private colleges are in danger of shutting down what has long been a path to the middle class.Ó As colleges compete for students with an eye on profit, preference may be afforded to wealthier students. The New America study found that 10 percent of college admissions directors at four year colleges and nearly 20 percent of those at private liberal arts colleges report that they give affluent students a significant preference in the admissions process.

Grants and scholarships covered 37 percent of low income student expense in 2012-2013 down from 46 percent in 2008-2009.

Some colleges are looking for students whose families are at or above a $150,000 annual income.

This is truly a departure from the days when only needy students, super smart students or super athletic students received rich scholarships or merit awards.

Colleges and universities are also aware that image matters. There is a litany of organizations that evaluate colleges for their selectiveness, affordability and GPA scores or SAT scores. These scores appeal to students and parents alike.

One of the best ways to create and maintain an attractive profile in the U.S. News College Report is to lure

By Scot Hurlburt students with the highest GPA and SAT scores to their school and thereby maintaining their elite status. Frequently these high scoring students come from affluent families with plenty of resources.

These desirable students are frequently offered scholarships and tuition discounts.

Many private colleges are offering affluent students generous discounts so that they too can compete for elite students in effort to improve their national ranking and profile. Ivy League schools like Columbia, Harvard and Princeton remain the preference of many wealthy students and the lack of financial discounts has not diminished enrollments at any of the Ivy League schools.

Only 5 percent of students at Ivy League schools qualify for Pell grants which support needy students. In contrast, 38 percent of students at the University of California at Los Angeles, a state school, receive Pell grants. As a parent, if your son or daughter has great SAT scores and an outstanding GPA many top tier colleges will be interested and will afford them a tuition discount or a scholarship. Ivy League schools have more than enough high scoring students apply every year to be able to cherry pick from a field of top students without regard to incentivizing admission.

Many Ivy League schools also preserve a good number of spots for legacy admissions where mom or dad may have attended the school previously. As the American middle class continues to shrink, recent trends in increasing college scholarships and tuition discounts for the wealthy seem to support further shrinking of the middle class.

On the surface it appears that this may be yet another piece of the American horizon looks less expectant and less hopeful for many Americans.

Remember, all kids count.

Westport Bicentennial Committee seeks community help

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT Ñ Westport is getting set for a party 200 years in the making.

The Westport Bicentennial Committee is already at work, making preparations for the festivities that will take place during Fourth of July weekend 2015. Ò We want people to start thinking about their class reunions and family reunions and get-togethers and try to make them part of that weekend,Ó Medara Sherman Kurth said. Ò We want people to know that this is the date, and everyone can start planning for it,Ó said Town Clerk Sheila Borden, who said the festivities would take place on Friday-Sunday, July 3-5.

The committee wants to focus on the history of the town over the past two centuries and wants people who have artifacts or collections of Westport history to come forward. Ò We are looking to depict the history of this town over the past 200 years,Ó Borden said. Ò We are not looking to take any originals from people but to get copies of them for display. We are looking for any pieces of history as well as a postcard history. We are also looking to produce a book of town history which would be

Ombudsman program needs volunteers in Essex, Clinton counties

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGHÑ Amy GehrigÕ s job might be a little easier if they called it something else; but the term Ô ombudsmanÕ is unfortunately here to stay.

ItÕ s a Swedish word that means Ò citizen advocate,Ó and thatÕ s who Gehrig needs in Essex County: concerned volunteers who can advocate for elderly people who may not have a voice of their own. Ò We are looking for top-notch volunteers, people who are willing to commit to two to four hours a week, going into a long-term care facility and visiting and advocating for residents rights,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s making that difference in someoneÕ s life, in making that moment a happier moment for them.

ThatÕ s the biggest reward of this program.Ó The ombudsman program is a national program, which is run independently by each state, but coordinated locally. Gehrig is the coordinator for Essex and Clinton counties, operating through the North Country Center for Independence. She oversees 23 facilities in Essex and Clinton counties for all levels of care, from nursing homes, to assisted living facilities to family-type homes.

Gehrig currently has one volunteer for all of Essex County. Ò ItÕ s not just going in and visiting with residents, itÕ s investigating. If youÕ re into investigations and getting to the bottom of things and fact-finding, then this is the perfect job for you. ItÕ s very rewarding.Ó The time commitment, she says, is very flexible,

with volunteers setting their own schedule for the week.

More then just getting new volunteers, Gehrig hopes to get the word out about what the ombudsman program is, and who it helps.

An ombudsman isnÕ t hired by the facility, she says, and in fact has the power to investigate a clientÕ s records if asked by the client. A large part of the job is negotiating on behalf of the client if thereÕ s a conflict or a problem. They might be contacted by a resident of the facility, or very often by a family member of that resident. A facility does not have the right to deny an ombudsman entrance to a facility. Ò The bottom line is, this is their residence, and everyone needs to remember that,Ó Gehrig said. Ò It is critical that they have rights, they have the option to have a meal they enjoy, or having hot coffee when they want it, that when they ring the bell to go to the bathroom that someone comes in a decent amount of time. We are there to ensure that they have those basic rights.Ó There is a four-day training session upcoming for those interested in volunteering. It will be held Sept.

3 - 6, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Those interested in either Essex or Clinton County can contact Gehrig at 563-9058.

Above right: Amy Gehrig (Right), Ombudsman Program Coordinator with the North Country Center for Independence, consults with ombudsman Muriel Kerr.

Lakeside school receives grant

ESSEX Ñ The Lakeside School, located at Black Kettle Farm in Essex received a grant from the Essex Community Fund. This grant is to purchase equipment for the Sprouts program - a new day-care option for young children in the North Country.

This full day care program for 1 and 2 year olds will launch in September and is built around a predictable and steady rhythm in a warm and supportive home-like environment. The unique setting allows children to experience farm life while feeding the farm animals, working in the gardens, and exploring the forest, fields, and streams. The children will spend lots of time outdoors in all seasons and have the opportunity to assist in the preparation of whole-food snacks and meals, all made on-site.

The slow-paced rhythm of the day allows for plenty of rest time for the children, as well as interaction with the older Lakeside students. Sprouts children and their families are also invited to participate in school and community festivals Ð Harvest Fest and Lantern Walk in the fall, Winter Spiral and ValentineÕ s Day in the winter, and Maple Sugaring and May Day in the spring. two-day, three-day, and five-day options are available.

Space is limited, so please register early.

The Lakeside School also offers a mixed-age Kindergarten for children ages 3-6 and an elementary school program for first and second graders. Optional extended day care is available for all Lakeside School children until 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.lakesideschoolinessex.org or call 963-7385.

Rabies vaccination pellets to be dropped in North Country ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Rabies is a virus that affects the central nervous system in mammals and is always fatal if left untreated.

It is almost always transmitted through saliva when an infected animal bites an animal or person.

Wildlife accounts for over 90 percent of all reported rabies cases each year in the US. Raccoons, bats, and skunks are responsible for most reported cases, but foxes, coyotes and other smaller mammals may also transmit the disease.

The Wildlife Services (WS) program of the USDA is working to protect people and pets from the threat of rabies. WS is distributing an oral rabies vaccination (ORV) bait to vaccinate wildlife, and help stop the further spread of rabies. Oral rabies vaccine baits are coated with an attractant and packaged in small blister packs. The Plattsburgh project will cover parts of New York, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and distribute 372,900 baits by fixed-wing aircraft and 4,680 by hand. The project started in mid-August.

Anyone who finds oral rabies vaccine is asked to leave them alone. If contact occurs, wash with soap and water any skin or wounds that may have come into contact with ORV baits, especially if the bait was damaged. ORV will be labeled and include a phone number to access for questions or concerns.

If your pet eats an ORV bait, donÕ t panic. It is not harmful for pets to consume ORV bait, though eating a large number of ORV baits may cause an upset stomach. Do not risk being bitten or being exposed to the vaccine by taking bait away from your pet.

Check the area where the ORV bait was found and relocate any remaining baits to a wooded area.

If you have questions about ORV baits please call the USDA Wildlife Services at 1-888-574-6656.

Essex and Clinton County Public Health Departments remind all residents to avoid contact with stray or wild animals and unknown cats and dogs. Always notify your doctor or your local Public Health Department if you are bitten by a pet or wild animal. Call the Essex County Public Health Department at 873-3500 (1-888-270-7249 after hours) or Clinton County Public

Health Department at 565-4840 (561-3370 after hours) to report an animal bite or possible rabies contact.

It is essential for pet owners to make sure their pets are up to date with their rabies vaccinations. Visit co.essex.ny/PublicHealth or clintonhealth.org for more information on rabies and rabies clinic schedules.

Rabies vaccination bait pellets, like these, have been dropped throughout the North Country.

keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT Ñ A test of endurance and speed will again return to the Adirondacks this month.

The Ragnar Relay Adirondacks will be run Sept. 27 and Sept.

The race will begin in Saratoga Springs and consist of 36 course legs which are run by a team of runners. There will be several exchanges along the way, including major transitions where runners can rest up. One will be set up at the Essex County Fairgrounds in Westport from 10:30 p.m. Sept. 27 until 9:45 a.m. Sept.

28, providing hydration and first aid stations along with outdoor sleeping. Last year, runners also slept inside Floral Hall on the grounds.

Another major exchange will be at the Ticonderoga Middle

School from 4:45 p.m. Sept. 27 to 5:30 a.m. Sept. 28. The exchange will include hydration and first aid stations, outdoor sleeping and an indoor hangout area. There will also be fundraising going on to help support the Ticonderoga School clubs and teams.

Lake George will host another exchange at Million Dollar Beach, which will be home to hydration and first aid stations, outdoor sleeping and concession sales. The station will be open

Births

It’s a boy...

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. Ñ A boy, Israel Alasdair Johnston, was born Aug. 8, 2013, to Erika Johnston Whittemore and Gavin David Johnston of Westport.

From left, Lilly Nolette, Samantha Harrison, Kaitlyn Wilkins, Erinn Walker, Kelsey Reynolds, Olivia Politi, Aliceson Drollette, and Sheila Wilkins, members of Girl Scout troop 4132, planned and planted a wildflower garden at the Champlain Valley Senior Community (CVSC) in Willsboro.

The garden is a leadership project to earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award which is the highest award a Girl Scout Junior can achieve. The scouts goal for this community project was to use their skills and interests and make a difference in the world. They explored the community, chose a project, planned it, and put the plan in motion. The Girl Scout team spent 18 hours on this leadership project to complete the award requirements. The Scouts also created a photo journal which they will present to Champlain Valley Senior Community during a visit in August.

Leslie Wilkins was the project coordinator. The girls had fun working on the garden project and visiting with the residents at CVSC. Photo provided

Essex has stile

By Sue Markham

Special submission ESSEX Ñ Did you notice the new stile in town?

DonÕ t know what a stile is?

Neither did I until my cousin, Ralph Millard, Jr., talked about building one and installing it during our family reunion.

A stile is a step/platform/bridge placed over a barbed wire fence that allows you to cross over the barbed wire safely.

On Aug. 9, the Millard family, who are descendents of Charles Millard and Horace Irish, gathered in Essex for a family reunion. There were 16 present and represented from near and far: Georgia, Long Island, New York City, Tennessee, Indiana and Kansas.

After first paying respects at the Essex Cemetery to our grandparents, Viola and Charles Milliard, along with numerous aunts, uncles and other family members buried there, we replaced the stile by the old Essex School. My grandfather, Charles Millard (18911960), was a carpenter and built the original stile (1930) to allow the Essex children to cross the field to attend school and cross over the barbed wire safely.

Ralph Millard, Jr. (grandson to Charles) remembers attending the Essex School and crossing the field, walking over the stile daily to get to and from school.

On a recent trip to Essex, Ralph noticed that the old stile was barely there so he went home, designed

New glades trail coming to Whiteface

and built the present stile, loaded it on his truck and brought it to Essex from Kansas. The new stile has a plaque attached dedicating it to Charles Millard.

After the dedication we visited with Katherine Cross who shared fond memories and great stories of the old stile with us.

For those of you who attended Essex School, go ahead and take a trip down memory lane and see if you can find the new stile.

WILMINGTON Ñ ItÕ s August, but the skiing and riding season at Whiteface Mountain, in Wilmington, N.Y., is not too far off. Weather permitting the first day of the season is scheduled to begin, Friday, Nov. 29.

This season, the Olympic mountain will debut a new (and as yet un-named) glade on Lookout Mountain. The 1,500 foot long expert glade will be cut half-way down HoytÕ s High and will also connect the Summit Chair lift.

The development of the new glade is expected to begin this week. Once completed, the glade will add an additional 4.7 acres to the mountainÕ s already 283 acres of skiable terrain and 3,430 of vertical, the most vertical east of the Rockies.

This is the first new trail added to Whiteface Mountain in more than five years. ÒW eÕ re pretty excited about this plan. ItÕ s the resort’s first new trail since the opening of Lookout Mountain in 2008,” said New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) president/CEO Ted Blazer.

Other mountain improvements include the addition of 35 low energy snow guns that will provide efficient snow coverage on Easy Street, Broadway and Excelsior. The mountain has also purchased an energy efficient boom fan snow gun that will be used to cover the mountainÕ s Lower Valley trail.

The Millard family created a new stile on their family property, which allows for safe pasage over barbwired fencing.

Seduced by a Stream

R

ecently, I was seduced by a small stream that continually calls me back to its banks for a final embrace, and just one last cast. There is no doubt the natural siren has my number, and she knows exactly what I need.

When I last visited, she provided me with a beautiful, sleek rainbow trout that was almost translucent in its all-natural, crimson and scarlet garb. Soon after the release, I was again contemplating an escape from the watery vixen, until my efforts were rewarded with another battle-worn veteran of the great piscatorial wars.

Although the old, brown trout was barely a nudge beyond 13 inches, it waged a battle worthy of a specimen far larger than his actual measure.

It possessed the punch of a heavyweight, and as it hunkered down in the swell of a small waterfall, it put up a fight far greater than his size would generally permit.

I battled him back and forth on his own terms, and he used the familiar environment to his advantage again and again. Eventually, after untangling my line from various streamside entanglements, I brought him to the shore.

Being careful not to mare his image in the handling, I gently twisted the hook upside down and shook him free.

Stunned for a moment, he soon swam slowly away before coming to rest in the shade of an overhanging rock ledge, which is when I believe I discerned a sly grin overtaking his wide, hooked chin.

I again attempted to depart the luxurious embrace of my steady and gentle streamside siren. In my mind, I had already shed my waders, and retired my vest to the riverbank.

In reality, my flyline was still on the water, and as my fly was sucked into a small eddy, a strong whirlpool pulled it under the surface.

Serendipity certainly has its moments, and this time it provided me with one of my own.

As I reached down to pick up my rod, a beautiful brook trout slapped and skittered across the surface of the small, backwater pool.

The fish took my fly subsurface, without even the thought of an attentive twitch on my part. The little brookie appeared to be intent on committing individual piscicide, until I gently landed and unleashed him.

I held it up with my two fingers and admired it for the shear beauty of its markings, rather than for its diminutive stature, which was small, but feisty.

Obviously, no one in his school bothered to teach the youngster about the necessary cautions required when chasing a false slab of fur and feathers thatÕ s often found swirling beneath a dark cloud of a watery debris.

Although I only removed him from his watery lair for just a moment, he took off like a fish on a mission upon release.

It was nearly four oÕ clock by my reckonings when the afternoon sun slowly slipped beyond the far treeline.

Again, I went through the rites of a proper streamside retreat. I knew I needed to depart the caressing arms of the lonely stream, in order to escape her sweet babble.

She had held me in her spell for far too long, and now it was time to retreat!

Quickly, I repacked the small wicker creel, and restored numerous flies to my vest. My hiking boots were rebooted in an exchange with felt bottomed waders, and I was well on my way back to the truck when it struck me.

My favorite flyrod remained cradled in the careful arms of a small bush on the bank of the stream, way back down in the gorge.

I promptly deposited an armload of belongings in the back of the truck and hopped over the bank to return to the stream. Ò She simply wonÕ t let me leave,Ó I remarked to no one in particular, Ò Which is probably a good thing.Ó I grabbed my rod from the streamside and as I turned to head back up the hill, the sound of the slightest splash caught my ear. Then there was another, and then some more!

At the head of the big pool, I could see small, silvery fish that were attempting to navigate their way over the tall falls.

For a moment, I sat on a streamside boulder and simply stared. I was transfixed by the audacity of the diminutive salmon as they sought to answer an instinctive urge to complete an upstream migration completely driven by their genes.

As tiny fry, the silvery marvels were stocked in the headwaters of the brook, and unbeknownst to them, there was no real need for them to return to breed.

If they failed to complete their genetic mission, the DEC would still continue to stock many more of their kind.

Obviously, nobody bothered to tell the salmon about the situation, and as a result, they continued to leap into the falls in contemplation of making it to the big show.

I knew dinner was nearing the table at home and surely, I should go. IÕ d had my fun for the day, and I know a busmanÕ s holiday should never be overdone.

But retreat as I may, my feet simply couldn’t move. I stood transfixed at the sight of salmon leaping into the air, despite being pounded back into the holding pool. Ò What the hell, IÕ ll take one last cast and then get out of here,Ó which I did. And as my line neared the falls, a slender, silver missile took the fly right out of the air. Carefully, I released it up above the falls.

Without hesitation, I sent a second cast out and landed another salmon, and then another in rapid secession. With each release, I pitched a fish above the falls. They wanted the river, and the river wanted them.

It was almost too easy, but I wanted to fulfill my duty. In a span of 10 minutes, I tossed more than two dozen salmon over the falls on the way to a migration they neither understood, nor had the capacity to complete. But at least they would get there!

In a single afternoon, I attracted three varieties of trout and over three dozen salmon to the tip of my flies. No wonder I found myself caught in a siren’s grasp. If the erasable grin on my face offered an indication, it was well worth it!

And being the dutiful deadbeat Dad who often fails to return on time for supper, I ate every bit of the burnt steak and endured the scorn of the cold corn waiting on the dining room table.

Fortunately, my presence at dinner was neither expected, nor required. However, the lame excuse did serve as false alarm to help wrench me away from a sensuous, small stream and a multitude of energetic playmates that willingly attended to my every need.

Dam dilemma!

T

hroughout the North Country, there are streams that have been used as power sources in the past. Logs were transported downstream in the early spring via the power of the moving water. This fluid power ran sawmills, grain grinding grist mills, and supplied hydraulic muscle to turn turbines for electric power. Water was used by many factories along the rivers for the manufacturing of various items like paper making.

In the southern Adirondacks water was used in many of the tanning facilities like those in Amsterdam and Gloversville.

The streams were a tool to be used and little thought was given to protect fisheries. Numerous chemicals and other pollutants were dumped into the streams, many changed with the color of the chemical being used that day.

The fish had to fend for themselves. They either went up clear water tributaries to survive or downstream to lakes if they could get there.

If they didnÕ t make it, they were sushi for the birds and mammals along the shoreline.

Many of the old stone and wooden cribbed dams that were layed up in the early years of the Adirondacks are gone. Some still remain as dams for reservoirs for town water supplies, although surface water supplies are no longer allowed in New York, with the exception of New York City.

NYC gets their water from open reservoirs in the Catskills. New York City gets away with a lot of things that the rest of us have to deal with. I guess we know where the voting power is for New York, donÕ t we!

Many of the dams in the state are getting old, and becoming a threat to downstream residents. Repairs are expensive and engineering to ensure safety is costly, very costly now days. With the increases in high volume storm events like Hurricane Floyd, Irene and others, having a dam in a state of disrepair is a liability. No town can afford a lawsuit brought on by a dam that gives way.

On the fisheries side of the story, tail water streams below dams are some of the most productive fisheries. Cold water discharged from the bottom of the dam supplies a continuous supply of cool water to the stream below.

These dams release water at certain rates, so the stream doesn’t have great fluctuations in stream flow. This makes the stream ideal trout habitat. This nutrient rich, cold water makes a fabulous trout fishery.

In New York, the East Branch of the Delaware River along the NY and Pennsylvania line gets water from the Pepacton Reservoir.

This tail water stream is world famous for its trout fishing. The Pepacton Reservoir is one of the holding areas for the NYC water supply.

Every fly fisherman has heard of the Frying Pan, the South Platte and the Arkansas in Colorado, or Lees Ferry on the Colorado River in Arizona. All of these are famous gold class tail water streams. The nutrient rich, cold water makes these streams, the Ò dream streamsÓ of many fly fishers. Folks like myself, travel all over the US to fish these waters. These streams draw in thousands of fisherman into the area where they purchase meals, hotels, fishing equipment, hire guides and just plain old spend money locally. Our own Ausable River is not a tail water stream, but it does bring in hundreds of fly fishermen to the area, where they spend their money. That is good for our local economy.

There are also downsides to dams. One downside is that all dams are not bottom discharge dams. Many dams have the water released from the top of the dam, or over spillways. The problem then becomes warm water. The lake behind the dam heats up during the summer and that warm water is then discharged into the stream, affecting the trout fishery below. Much depends on the size of the impoundment and supply temperature of water to the stream above the lake. Large impoundments have a greater effect on the stream below.

The plus side to this type of dam is that bugs that hatch on the lake get washed over the spillway and feed the fish below the dam.

Trout are cold water species. When the water warms, they migrate into cold water spring seep pools, cooler water stream tributaries or out to a lake to get to their comfort zone. If they canÕ t migrate to colder water, they can die. Once again, sushi!

A second problem is that the natural migration of aquatic organisms is stopped by dams.

Whether it’s the fish, invertebrates, minnows or other stream critters, dams can stop their natural migration up or down stream. This results in a loss of diversity in the upstream reaches. The continuity of the stream habi-

August 31, 2013

tat must be maintained to keep a sound aquatic community.

On the flip side, dams may prevent

By Rich Redman the spread of invasive species into a river system, like lamprey eels.

Brook trout, brown trout, rainbows (steelhead) and smallmouth bass all spawn in the streams at various times. Some spawn in spring and some in fall. They may migrate back to the lake or stay in the stream. Steelheads are rainbow trout that migrate back and forth from stream to lake. Cattaraugus Creek in western NY is known for its steelhead runs and smallmouth fishery. Dams can stop this natural occurrence from ever happening. There is talk of removing the dam in Springville NY to allow access to another 20 or more mile of habitat for trout and other fish. We have dams in our area that also limit fish passage.

A third problem is that dams can allow ice to form and build up. In spring thaws, flooding can occur due to the ice jamming. Fast running water tends to be open, meaning itÕ s not frozen over, so ice jamming is less likely.

Dams also stop the natural transport of sediment through the river system, which can increase erosion along stream banks.

From a river restoration view point, the removal of some dams is a good thing. The effect on the river system depends on the location of the dam within the river. A dam at the top of the watershed doesnÕ t affect the river as much as one near the mouth of the stream.

The closer to the mouth, the less likely there will be much fish and aquatic migration.

Top discharge dams affect the water temperature for the fish below the dam, and can restrict fish and aquatic organism passage from their natural migration patterns.

With fast moving waters ice formation is reduced and there is a greater probability of less flooding in the immediate area.

Dam removal projects get very emotional for people, especially the ones who live right on the impoundment. People fear it will turn into a mud hole or swamp. But it really turns back into the original floodplain. Usually the vegetation takes over so fast along the old shoreline that the restoration process happens on its own. With foresight and planning, the old shoreline can also be planted with various grassesÕ to keep it open. Folks can then enjoy the new fast moving rapids and stream flow alongside a grassy bank that will supply fish with terrestrial bugs like grasshoppers, crickets and ants. You will get to see the river the way it was, not hidden under water.

Dams were built by man and can be removed by man. Power dams that supply electricity for the country or reservoirs for human water supplies are important and we need them. Some dams in the west restrict salmon migration and have garnered considerable heated discussions among fisheries groups.

We are not talking about the Hoover Dam or the pyramids or some historical site. We are talking about old stone and wood cribbed structures and dams that are in need of costly repairs. They are liabilities to the human residents downstream and to the aquatic residents in the stream. We have seen numerous flooding events in recent years and its time we take a real good look at all of our watersheds and make decisions that are good for the economy of our area and are long term solutions to flooding.

This is where the whole dam dilemma comes into play. Removal of a dam changes the landscape for the people nearby, but in the long run it will reduce many of the problems associated with the dam. If the fisheries can be improved, ice jamming reduced and the river brought back to its natural state, then it gets my vote. An improved fishery can start drawing folks from other areas and states to our area.

When they come here and spend money it is good for our economy. They can enjoy our local foods and fish, served up on a platter at a local restaurant or bar!

Now we need some homegrown beer, wine and cider to go with that fish dinner.
