Winter Carnival unveils new logo for 2014 SARANAC LAKE Ñ Members of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Committee Tuesday, Oct. 15 unveiled a new logo during their monthly meeting at the Saranac Lake High School. The logo Ð now in color Ð was designed by Saranac Lake artist-designer Kathy Ford and will be used as a keystone in the design for the new Winter Carnival website, which is currently under development and is expected to be launched by the end of the year. A small subcommittee of the larger Winter Carnival committee started meeting in late spring to work on developing the new logo.

Ò We were looking for something that would reflect the great heritage and history of Winter Carnival, touch on key aspects of Carnival, particularly the Ice Palace, and say something about where we live,Ó said Mark Kurtz, of the logo subcommittee. Ò And we wanted it to say WINTER.Ó The logo committee sent requests to three local artists and designers early in the summer, and received a few designs. Graphic designer Kathy Ford submitted several initial designs, and Committee members worked with her to finalize the logo. Ò I am passionate about giving back to my community,Ó Ford said, Ò so when the Win-

ter Carnival committee asked if I would volunteer my time and creative services to design a new logo for this hugely popular, long-standing winter event in Saranac Lake, I was only happy to assist.Ó The design includes an image of the Ice Palace, which is the centerpiece of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival, with white flags waving on the parapets just below yellow stars in a blue night sky. The words Ò Saranac LakeÓ are draped over the top in a semicircle. Below the Ice Palace, the words Ò Winter CarnivalÓ are placed in straight lines, one word on top of the other. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Adirondack Carousel, Cornell University to seek ‘Lost Ladybug’ SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Adirondack Carousel has recently partnered with scientists at Cornell UniversityÕ s Department of Entomology and the National Science Foundation on its Ò Lost Ladybug ProjectÓ As the New York State insect, each animal and Chariot of the Adirondack Carousel you can find carved ladybugs which provide an opportunity for young children to Ò searchÓ for the bugs before they ride and when they are attending a birthday party. Through the Lost Lady Bug Project, they will be teaching children the importance of this science research project, how to make a catch net, how to catch and photograph lady bugs around their home, school and surrounding area. All of the findings will be added to the research being done at Cornell. Every ladybug caught, rare or

common, native or exotic, is important. The project will continue for years, and collections from the same location over the years will be especially useful to this research. Historically there is a good ladybug story that forms the basis of this national Lost Ladybug Project Research. Three native species of ladybugs, Two Spotted, Nine Spotted and Transverse were once common in New York as recently at 1985. Now, almost thirty years later, two of the species are quite rare in New York and the third may be extinct. All three native species occurred in the Adirondack Region and farther north in 1985 but none have been found in recent times. The scientists donÕ t have much information on the elevations these species occurred at in New York, but in Colorado where they still thrive, they are

found at 6,000 to 8,000 ft. There are still many species of ladybugs in the Adirondacks; however the most common is the introduced Asian ladybug. The best survey the Lost Ladybug Project has of ladybugs in Northern New York was done in 2009 by student collaborators from the Akwesasne Freedom School in the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation near Hogansburg. From 2008-2013 the Lost Ladybug Project has records of about eight ladybug species centered in or close to the Adirondack Park, but very little information has been collected in our area. These beneficial predators of farm and garden pests have become extremely rare and their rapid decline is of great concern. If we can help determine where the native ladybugs still live, we may learn why this decline has happened and be able to do something to stop it.

The project will kick off in the spring of 2014 right before the ladybugs come out. If you would be interested in joining us and working on this project, contact Marge Glowa at marge.glowa@ aol.com or call the Carousel at 891-9521 for more information.

25th edition, the Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Classic has taken itsÕ place among the top events hosted in the Adirondack region. From an economic standpoint, the week-long competition in August has become another engine for area businesses alongside the Lake Placid Horse Show and the Ironman Triathlon. Figures provided by the Lake Placid CVB and Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism pegged estimated direct spending for 2013 at $4.2 million. The summit lacrosse events start with a scholastic tournament, which finds youth accompanied by family, and gradually segues into adult tournaments, spanning all age groups. Ò The tournament began, humbly, with 7 teams in 1990,Ó said tournament organizer George Leveille. Ò Now we have grown to a full week of competition with Monday and Tuesday

being just as robust as Saturday and Sunday. And, our demographic now extends from 14 year old boys and girls, to 60 year old men.Ó James McKenna, President of the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism and the Lake Placid CVB, noted the tournamentÕ s impressive growth. Ò The commitments by the Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse organizers over the last 24 years are impressive for both the sport of lacrosse and tourism in the Lake Placid market,Ó remarked McKenna. Ò The event has matured into one of the premier events in Lake Placid and has a significant economic impact to the region. We look forward to celebrating 25 years of the event next year.Ó The 2013 edition of the tournament welcomed 221 teams in 18 divisions, involving 4,845 athletes and officials. Additionally, there were thousands of friends, family members and supporters

in tow. The 2014 tournament is set for Aug. 4-10 with more than 500 scheduled contests. It will include 86 boyÕ s and girlÕ s teams and 145 menÕ s and womenÕ s teams. There will also be several activities scheduled to celebrate the 25 year history of the event including an exhibition game featuring players who participated in the first event in 1990. For the third consecutive year, Lake Placid Lacrosse, in conjunction with WomensLax. com, will hold the Northstar Invitational Lacrosse Camp at Northwood School from July 2831. Participation in the camp is by invitation only, and features 150 of the top high school female lacrosse players from the United States and Canada. As evidence of the level of talent at Northstar, all 36 2014 graduation year athletes who participated in the camp have committed to Division I colleges and universities.

Revitalize the Adirondacks with telecommuting

ccess to high-speed Internet is just as crucial to economic development today as electricity was 100 years ago. It is even more important in rural areas like the Adirondack Region, where a commute is often complicated by distance and weather. The largest economic engines of the region used to be mining, lumbering and agriculture Ñ and associated industries. But as those employers slowly evaporated, so too did jobs, and many families moved away. As a result, school enrollments have dwindled, giving way to mostly second homeowners instead of full-time residents. After obtaining high school degrees, children are often forced to trade the great quality of life here in the Adirondack Park for better-paying urban jobs. Many move away for college or military service and never return. One answer to our economic deficit is telecommuting — working from home for a company out of town, the park, the state or even the country. Telecommuting is a great way to give people a chance to live and make a living in the Adirondack Region, and companies worldwide are starting to take notice. Telecommuting is personally satisfying Ñ often allowing the worker more family face time Ñ and environmentally responsible — making it a near perfect fit for this region of New York state. To allow it, however, companies and employees need access to a reliable and comprehensive network of high-speed broadband. The problem for Internet providers such as Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications, however, is the high cost of reaching all household in remote Adirondack communities. While there are several forms of broadband available in the park Ñ such as cable, satellite and DSL Ñ fiber optic is preferred because it offers much faster data transmission speeds. But local communities can band together and help in the process, thanks to a federal program. The USDA was a forerunner in advocating for rural communities to be supplied with electricity in 1935 through the Rural Electrification Administration. Today it offers grants for bringing broadband services to rural communities. In the town of Keene, local officials brought broadband to town with the “High Peaks Education FoundationÓ project, allowing residents to connect to high-speed Internet. The goal for bringing broadband to the town of Keene was to give access to more jobs, enabling more families to live in the community and enroll more children in the local public school. The initiative is a win-win, giving children a great quality of life and new opportunities for learning and parents the ability to make a living here while spending more time with their kids. The initiative with the locally owned Internet service provider, Keene Valley Video and Internet, rebuilt the old CATV plant and expanded the network using fiber-to-the-home technology. Currently 97 percent of year-round homes in the town have access to broadband if they want it, and 80 percent of second homeowners can get broadband. Forty percent are now connected. Keene Valley Central School has also benefitted, and residents now have availability to technology like Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), a group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over the Internet. Replacing land lines, VOIP saves money. The project cost the town $11,500 per mile, only one-third of normal industry estimates. Keene now has the most widespread network in the Adirondack Park. Others should do the same, if they can. To expedite the process, town officials should gather data on how many people are interested in the service, and how many currently have access. That information is crucial when applying for grants. There are some stigmas employers must consider before looking into telecommuting. For one, their industry must be able to manage the productivity of the employees while they are working outside of the office. Trust in employees is a major facet. One not-for-profit organization — Adirondack Teleworks — can aid with the process, connecting companies offering telecommuting jobs with employees of the region. Bill Murphy with Adirondack Teleworks said the organization hopes to educate people living in the most remote areas of the Adirondack Park, like Hamilton County, about working via the Internet. Telecommuting is certainly not the sole piece of the economic puzzle in the tourism-dependant Adirondacks, but if more broadband access is available, it could encourage visitors to stay longer while providing jobs for people who never want to leave.

A mountain girl from a small town, she keeps it real and believes that music is close to the heart of what makes us human. General admission is $15 or $12 for BluSeed members.

President Obama’s Bus Tour: Get on Board, It’s Not about Politics

resident ObamaÕ s proposal to rate AmericaÕ s colleges is the most important educational policy step taken in a long while. In late August, on a bus tour through New York and Pennsylvania, the President unveiled his plan to rate colleges on access, affordability and student outcomes and to tie federal support for student loans to these metrics. At a time when AmericaÕ s viability depends on increasing the number and proportion of citizens with college degrees, we are sabotaging our NationÕ s future by allowing college costs to spiral out of control, thereby burdening a generation with onerous debt and blocking others from even entering the college gates. Over the last five years, tuition at public four-year colleges increased 27 percent beyond inflation, while at private colleges, that increase is 13 percent. One explanation for rampant tuition increases centers on the economic crash of 2008. Since the bust, colleges have failed to curb spending on bricks and mortar, tenured professors, health care, and technology, while states have passed off increases in higher education spending directly to students and their families. This helps explain why tuition costs have risen faster than healthcare, energy, and even housing. Because only the rich can afford todayÕ s college costs, middle and low-income students have been forced to borrow money and absorb massive loan debt. Today, two thirds of those graduating from college are debt ridden, a per student average thatÕ s close to $27,000. Student loan debt in the USA totals a staggering $1.2 trillion. ItÕ s ironic that as the cost for college grows, the greater the need for higher education. We, as a Nation, need college graduates more today than ever before. A college degree currently has the same value on the job market that a high school diploma had a generation ago. In 10 years, there will be 20 million jobs in the United States that go unfilled because we don’t have enough qualified workers. As the leader of a national organization that is currently helping 20,000 low-income students get to college, I see firsthand the impact of an exploitive tuition system. Josh, a young man from Harlem whose mother is on welfare, is saddled with a $14,000 tuition bill from Penn State before he can return for his senior year. Tiffany graduates from the University of California system owing $38,000-- more money than her single father has earned the past two years. There are real stories and there are countless more out there. Now there’s finally a long-overdue plan that promises to curb costs, reduce student debt, and advocate for students like Josh and Tiffany and the thousands of other young people being priced out of the one opportunity Ð a college degree Ð that can pull them (and in many cases, their families) out of poverty. This plan will rate colleges on measures like tuition, graduation rates, debt and earnings of graduates, and the number of low-income students who attend. The new rating system would be adopted by 2015 and three years later, students attending highly rated colleges would receive larger grants and more affordable loans. No surprise, thereÕ s already plenty of opposition to the rating plan. Lamar Alexander, current U.S. Senator and former university president and U.S. secretary of education, believes that ratings should be created by each state and not Washington. Others have expressed concern about the flaws inherent in formulas and data collection. While the states offer about $12 billion each year in student loans, the federal government spends $150 billion annually, giving the feds the leverage they need to prod colleges into making desperately needed changes. Of course the metrics offered by the Department of Education need to be refined but we have four years to do so. This plan is a critical first step and one, we as a Nation, cannot afford to miss. Will data collection be difficult? Yes, but the Obama plan points the dial in the right direction, and it will make colleges pay attention. Making college affordable isnÕ t just good for students itÕ s absolutely necessary for our country. This rating plan unlike the US News and World Report rubric is not a beauty contest, itÕ s about substance. ItÕ s about making colleges affordable and truly accessible. ItÕ s about reviving the American Dream. The plan is not about politics, but we need politicians to make it truly effective. Contact your legislator to express your support. Get on board. Rick Dalton is the President and CEO of College For Every Student.

Letters to the Editor

Suppport land swaps

Suppporting Prop 4

To the Valley News: On Nov. 5, New York voters will be presented with six Constitutional Amendments on the ballot. While every amendment should be of interest to voters, propositions 4 and 5 are critically important to the Adirondacks. I strongly encourage every voter to be informed of the details pertaining to these amendments and then vote Ò YESÓ for both. Proposition 4 will finally resolve property title disputes for over 200 property owners in the Hamlet of Raquette Lake in Long Lake. These properties include the Raquette Lake School, Fire Department, public utilities, businesses and private property. The disputed titles are the result of tax sales dating back to the late 1800s when the state purchased properties for back taxes. However, in most cases the taxes had been paid and the owners had receipts for payment. These tax sales were later ruled illegal by the Supreme Court in 1907 and upheld by the Court of Appeals in 1924. However, litigation is very expensive for both sides and some court cases have languished for years. Furthermore, Article 14 of the State Constitution prevents the State from resolving this issue through any means other than litigation or a constitutional amendment. Now, after several years of hard work by dedicated DEC staff, elected officials and a core group representing the contested property owners, these property owners can realize that which every property owner should have: clear title to the property that they have owned and paid taxes on for years, and in some cases for generations. This amendment has broad support ranging from state and local elected officials to environmental groups to organizations representing groups with diverse interests. All agree this amendment is a win-win for all parties involved. For more information including a detailed history, visit www. twp40.com. Proposition 5 authorizes the State to exchange 200 acres of land with NYCO Minerals for 1,500 acres of land to be added to the forest preserve. These 200 acres will allow NYCO to continue mining in their current location ensuring the companyÕ s viability, and over 100 jobs, for 10 years. Like most areas within the Adirondack Park, every job is important. Consequently, this proposition is critically important to our neighbors in Lewis and Willsboro where NYCOÕ s mine and offices are located. When NYCO has completed mining the 200 acre lot, they will reclaim it and return it to the forest preserve. Like Proposition 4, Proposition 5 has broad support and is a win-win for all involved. You can learn more about Proposition 5 at adirondacklandswap.com. I encourage every New York voter to not only support both of these propositions, but to help us get this message out to others by sharing this information with your family and friends. Clark J. Seaman Long Lake Town Supervisor

To the Valley News: Vote YES for Proposition 4 on Nov. 5. Since the 1800Õ s, Adirondack land titles in Ò Township 40Ó in Hamilton CountyÕ s Town of Long Lake and Raquette Lake have been confused by conflicting claims amongst the State and both public and private owners including the school, firehouse, waste transfer station, utility station, marina, businesses and homes - 216 parcels in all. Litigation has been expensive and generally unproductive for the State. All parties would prefer to settle these issues out of court. However, the NYS Constitution requires a Constitutional Amendment to permit the StateÕ s release of any claim to Adirondack land.. Both houses of the State Legislature have unanimously approved this Amendment and Ò Proposition 4Ó will appear on the back of NovemberÕ s ballot for voter ratification. In exchange for the benefits of full ownership, property owners would pay the state a fee equal to a portion of their assessed value. The state would then use the funds to buy more than 200 acres of wild, forested land, add that land to the Adirondack Forest Preserve and protect it from development and forestry. It is important to note that no title search now or ever shows any claim to any title in Township 40 by the State of NY. Taxes have been paid, lands have been bought and sold and deeds have been recorded. The question of Ò contestedÓ titles needs to be resolved so that the rightful owners, whose families have lived with this injustice for over 100 years, can have the quiet enjoyment of their property, a freedom guaranteed by this great country of ours. David and Janice Washburn Keeseville

Dam-Locked Salmon To the Valley News: The Boquet River should be an epic fishery and an emblem of natureÕ s resilience. Instead, it is stuck within a series of management decisions that are misinformed, inefficient and entrenched. I grew up dreaming that I was one of the pioneering explorers in this region, either Hudson or Champlain, arriving at the mouth of a tributary and seeing large trout and salmon. Historical records paint a picture of salmon providing balance to entire ecosystems, including the humans who relied on their meat for sustenance. That dream has an unprecedented opportunity to be real again in the Boquet watershed, and surprisingly little stands in the way of the ancestral migration of these great fish. The Department of Environmental Conservation has already done a great deal to eliminate the primary threats to landlocked salmon in Lake Champlain. By pursuing modest harvest regulations and striving to reduce the impact of lamprey, DEC has already reversed a great deal of damaging historical patterns. Conservation organizations like BRASS are also playing a large part in restoring habitat. And while pollution is still a major threat, industrial uses of

the river have been all but halted. The salmonsÕ main threat today, as it was at the turn of the century, is manmade. The dam at Willsboro creates a serious barrier to salmon, both physically and existentially. The Willsboro Dam presents several problems for Champlain salmon. First, and most obviously, the fish ladder designed to accommodate spawning fish is unnatural for salmon and leaves many in the pools belowÑ all dressed up and nowhere to spawn. ItÕ s a great idea in theory, less so in practice. This year, the water is particularly low so the fish ladder isn’t even holding enough water for fish to use it. 6HFRQ G W KHGDP FUHDW HVDERX W P LOHRI GHDG water above the dam which is neither cold nor oxygenated. Salmon need both of these conditions to prevent fatigue in their early stages of migration. Finally, the dam is a liability for downstream users because of its age and construction. If the dam blows, it will probably take someone with it. Ultimately the dam creates a situation where very few, if any, salmon are able to travel upstream and spawn naturally. As a result, the state continually stocks the fishery to maintain the illusion that the river is healthy and can support recreational fishing. Last year alone, the State released 168,117 landlocked salmon into Lake Champlain and its tributaries. The same pattern of stocking has been occurring semi-regularly since 1975. I realize that the removal of the Willsboro dam is not a cheap proposition; however the continual stocking of salmon without any natural reproduction puts a serious burden on taxpayers just the same. Removing the dam would allow the Boquet River to incubate salmon instead of the State contracting that same service out to fish hatcheries. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of Boquet River Ò managementÓ is that it convinces sportsman like me that the fishery is healthy. We can go fishing and (if very lucky) catch a salmon. Catching salmon gives us the false perception that all is well and we neednÕ t enter the conservation fight. This is a missed opportunity for fisherman who would otherwise become champions for the dam-removal cause. I hope that the dam in Willsboro, however scenic, will soon become a relic of the past. I also hope that truly wild salmon will once again

inhabit the Boquet, and perhaps my children will fish here one day and experience a taste of what Sameul de Champlain saw upon arriving in present-day Essex County. Dillon Klepetar Essex

Honor veterans To the Valley News: Homeward Bound Adirondacks is an organization that is committed to creating community based solutions to the issues facing Service Members, Veterans and their Families throughout the North Country. With another Veterans Day fast approaching I would like to appeal to our community across the North Country to honor, recognize, and thank Veterans for their service during the month of November. It is so easy to simply appreciate the long weekend and never stop to think about what or how this day came to be. So let this year be different. Do you belong to a service organization or religious group? Consider honoring Veterans at a meeting or service in the month of November. Have the day off? Take the time to attend a ceremony on Nov 11. Bring your children and explain what it is all about. Do you see someone wearing a hat that tells you they served? Take a moment and say thank you. Do you own a business? Find out whether any of your employees are Vets and help them verify they are receiving all the benefits they are entitled. Are you a mental health clinician? Consider providing service through Military One Source or Give an Hour. Military personal will often say, Ò I was just doing my job I did nothing spectacular.Ó It may have been Ò just a jobÓ , but keep in mind that it is a job that the majority of our nation seems unwilling to do themselves. By doing the job they do, our service men and women allow the people of our nation to go about their daily lives without a second thought. So I urge you to give it a second thought. What can you do this year in honor of VeteransÕ Day to make a difference? Jordanna Mallach Operation Enduring Freedom Veteran Program Coordinator Homeward Bound Adirondacks

ACAP offers weatherization

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ With cold weather approaching, Adirondack Community Action Programs, Inc. would like you to know more about their Weatherization Services. Since 1976, ACAP Weatherization Assistance Program has been reducing energy usage for low-income families, especially the elderly, disabled and children. Barbara Allen, Weatherization Director, says Ò Through the installation of energy efficient measures, we make homes more energy efficient and increase the health and safety of homes. We make homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.Ó Low-income families typically spend 14.4 percent of their total income on energy versus 3.3 percent for other households. Weatherization saves families an average of $437 in heating and cooling costs every year at current prices. Weatherizing homes reduces the energy costs for families who are often forced to choose between heat and other necessities.

Work is done by certified professional staff or sub contractors who work hard to make every home more energy efficient, more affordable and more comfortable to live in. The program works on all types of homes: single family, multi-family and mobile homes, and works all year around. In Essex County alone, over 3,700 homes have been weatherized since the program began in 1976. Weatherization requires skilled workers to carry out the program, putting people back to work.

Voters approve dissolution of Keeseville again By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE Ñ As of Dec. 31, 2014, there will be no more village of Keeseville. Voters approved the dissolution plan for the municipality 288200 on Oct. 22 at what soon will be the former village hall. Turnout was 44 people higher than earlier this year, when 444 turned out at the polls in the first vote to approve the dissolution of the village. Ò Democracy is democracy,Ó Mayor Dale Holderman said after the result was announced. Ò The village is now set to dissolve on Dec. 31, 2014. Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it.Ó Holderman, who along with the Village Board launched a campaign against the dissolution plan, said he felt the village had fought a good fight. Ò I would have probably forced the consultants to use different numbers than they did in their calculations,Ó Holderman said. Ò We did our best. When people are (ticked) at government they go to the first line they have control over.” The village will now go through the steps of turning over control of facilities such as water and sewer treatment plants to the towns of Ausable and Chesterfield, which will take on total governance of the former village interests. Holderman said the work of the village employees should not be overlooked as the dissolution plan starts playing out. Ò We need to really thank them,Ó he said. Ò They have put a lot of hard work into making the village work and I hope that the hamlet of Keeseville does well in the future.Ó As for post-village, Holderman said people will not see him seeking any town office. Ò Politics is too dirty for me,Ó Holderman said. Ò There are too many ups and downs. I took the job because I love the community and not for anything else.Ó Ò The people have spoken and I respect their decision,Ó said Trustee Mary King, who was also a staunch opponent of dissolution. Ò If this is what they want, then that is what democracy is all about and thank God for that.Ó Ò This was a lot higher than the last turnout and the people took their opportunity to make this choice,Ó Trustee Kathy Klages said. Ò I just hope they are happy with it.Ó
