Open house set for EC horses By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com
ELIZABETHTOWN „ Up to 40 horses seized by Essex County over a month ago will be on display for potential new owners this Saturday at the Essex County Fairgrounds. The horses, taken from the Wing and a Prayer Farm in Essex Sept. 18 through 20 after an investigation, led to charges against owner Shelley Wing and daughter, Emily, on counts of animal cruelty. On Oct. 9, the horses were deemed to be property of the county after Wing was unable to pay a bond for their care. Now, with the help of Crane Mountain Valley Horse Rescue, Inc., the county has started the adoption process, with several horses already finding new homes.

Westport seniors to present ‘The Election’ By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT „ The show must go on. Take the Westport Central School Class of 2014, for example. After funding for the traditional senior play was cut from the school budget, class members joined together with teachers Cathy Brankman, Paul Mudie and Vicki Wolinski to move forward and present ñ The Electionî Friday, Nov. 15, at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium. ñ We felt that this was a necessary tradition at the school and needed to be continued,î Brankman said. ñ We as teachers are volunteering our time to work with the students, and this will be a regular class fundraiser with any profits going to the senior trip and graduation expenses.î ñ I think the senior play is more of a bonding experience,î Mudie said. ñ Kids you would never expect to see are up on the stage performing, and it sounds cliche, but it really does bring the class together.î ñ They work very well together,î Brankman said. ñ They are fun, patient and they are encouraging of each

Students learn about colleges By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE „ Keeseville elementary students are getting ready for college with the introduction of a new program called No Excuses University. School officials kicked off their program with a lively assembly on Oct. 4. ñ Our job on the elementary level for students being ready for college readiness,î said Keeseville Elementary School Principal Kevin Hulbert. Students from every grade level donned the colors and insignia of a particular college or branch of government service that classes were representing. ñ For each class the teachers were asked to pick two colleges, and they were assigned one of them. We have a wide range of schools represented here. North Carolina, Paul Smiths, and Ohio State are just a few.î As part of this initiative, each classroom adopted a college for the year. Many of these colleges, along with the Family School Association, have provided college T-shirts for every student. Hulbert said by introducing the students to colleges now they can focus on what each school has to offer academically and get the kids thinking about what they want to study and where is the best school for them. Also for students who might
not be college bound, some classes represented branches of military service and trade schools. School Superintendent Paul Savage joined the assembly to talk to students about his own college experience. The assembly was the first step toward becoming a part of the No Excuses University organization. “We will be officially applying during the first week of November. We should be notified of our acceptance in December,î Hulbert said. No Excuses University is a network of elementary, middle and high schools across the United States. These schools actively promote a comprehensive model of college readiness to all students the moment they begin elementary school. Every No Excuses University has a well-defined process for identifying and creating the six exceptional systems of a culture of universal achievement, collaboration, standards alignment, assessment, data analysis and interventions. In addition, every No Excuses University campus works diligently to expose students to powerful college symbolism. This symbolism is seen in the college flags and banners hung on every door, felt though the close partnerships forged between classrooms and universities, and heard in the college chants that exist at each grade level. For more information about No Excuses University, visit www.noexcusesu.com.

his week being election week and all, the Class of 2014 at Westport Central will offer a timely and provocative look at the quirky process that we call democracy in its Senior Play next Friday, Nov. 15, in the Bulles Auditorium at 7 p.m. ñ The Election,î by Don Zolidis, tells the story of Mark Davenport and Christy Martin, the two candidates in a special election for student body president„ and of how their campaigns go into wacky overdrive when multimillion-dollar super-PACs get involved. ñ The Election,î is a hilarious sendup of the contemporary political scene that has been hugely successful in highschool productions recently around the country. DonÍ t miss it! Especially since itÍ s directed by Paul Mudie, Cathy Brankman, and Vicki Wolinski and boasts an all-star cast of our talented seniors. And you can participate in real-life democracy on Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 6 p.m., when the Draft Westport Economic Development Plan will be presented at the Town Hall. The plan has been prepared by a team of local, regional, and state partners with the help of professional consultants. Among the many strengths that the team

Rob Ivy • robhivy@gmail.com family from New Hampshire. It strikes me as kind of funny that someone would select Reber as a place to go on holiday, but I have to admit that the views are beautiful. Most of the rumors I hear are gathered at the Village Meat Market from a senior cashier with excellent sources. Now is the time to plant garlic. It needs a weed free, well drained bed, with the cloves placed about three inches deep and spaced four inches apart. The goal is to get the cloves to send out roots but not tops before the ground freezes. You do want the ground to freeze before you apply mulch, which is mostly to prevent thawing during warm spells in the winter. A sharp-eyed reader chided me recently about closing the curtain in a voting booth. ItÍ s technically true that the old style booths had a closeable curtain but the current models do not. I occasionally throw in low level falsehoods to make sure my audience is on its toes, although this particular crackpot reader may have a little too much time on his hands.

Find out about some of our other strengths, and about how the team proposes to further our communityÍ s economic revitalization, by reading the plan yourself. ItÍ s available at Town Hall or at the Town web site, westportny.net (click on ñ Projectsî ). Then come to the meeting and let them know what you think. Your input, in fact, is a vital part of the project. Whether on the school, the local or the national level, democracy has a way of challenging us with change. One of the most complicated sets of changes weÍ re undergoing nationally, of course, is the new health care system coming in with the Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare). All the hiccups in the federal health insurance exchange roll-out have distracted attention from the fact that the states with their own exchanges find that they are working quite well. New York State is one of those. At 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 20 at the Wadhams Free Library, expert Jill Rock will explain how our stateÍ s exchange can work for you. More on this next week.

he elections are now behind us and hopefully the most qualified persons are now elected to the job they were seeking. I find it encouraging to see so many of our middle age persons offer to run for local positions. I am writing this before the actual election day, so I do hope a large number of eligible voters do come out to vote. Every vote counts and it gives the winners a better feeling about winning. Halloween seemed quiet and did not hear of much of any damage done around the community. It was not a good weather night, but the joy of seeking those candy treats brought many out regardless of the weather conditions.

KCS forensics team to present night of performance Nov. 10
KEENE VALLEY „ On Sunday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m., the Keene Central School (KCS) Forensics team is offering an evening of drama, comedy, and mime. This year, the team is young but very talented. The team just returned from their first tournament in Madrid-Waddington where the duo of Liza Amirault and Brianna Joannette came in third (technically tied for second place) and Brian DeWalt placed second in both Modified Prose and Modified Poetry. Often people are confused about the term, ñ forensics.î The one in which these high schools participate has nothing to do with dead bodies. It is the art of speech and debate. At Keene, the focus has always been on the dramatic and comedic aspects of the art. This yearÍ s Forensics Fundraiser on Nov. 10 is titled, ñ You Be the Judge.î The team hopes to give the audience a chance to see what a tournament is really like and how students are judged. Scoring sheets will be passed out to audience members who will be invited to judge for themselves.
It will be an evening appropriate for the whole family and refreshments will be served. Forensics Coach Kathleen Recchia feels that forensics should be an integral part of the education process. ñ It not only helps students who wish to pursue performance arts but it is also an invaluable tool for any public speaker, students of the law, politics, marketing, and sales,î she said. ñ The tournament environment broadens student awareness of what other students in other schools are doing and how outside judges view the work.î The Fundraiser begins at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Keene Central School.There is a suggested donation of $5. For more information contact: Kathleen Recchia at 946-8323 or e-mail: forensics@keenecentralschool.org.
Brianna Joannette, Zoe Brammer, Liza Amirault, Brian DeWalt, and Evella Dalai will perform Nov. 10 at Keene Central School.

Include the next generation in Veterans Day
T
his Monday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day „ a day set aside to recognize and honor those who served this great nation, past and present, in times of both war and peace. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary suspension of fighting, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War. Observed as Armistice Day beginning the following year, and Nov. 11 became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. Following the unprecedented mobilization of troops during World War II and then the Korean War, Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day, dedicated to all American veterans „ living or dead „ who served this country. With more than 21 million American veterans „ nearly 15 percent of the population „ most of us have a close relationship with someone who has served. Some have family members, spouses, children or parents who are or once were in the military. Still others holding this newspaper have served themselves. We want to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly thank these individuals for their selflessness, courage and dedication to our homeland. You are all heroes. But those words really donÍ t go far enough. To truly show our gratitude, we should all take the time to attend a Veterans Day observation. More importantly, we should include our children in the ceremony. They need to know that Veterans Day is much more than simply a federal holiday off from work and school. They need to know that the sacrifices made by previous generations are what allow us to enjoy the freedoms we so often take for granted today. We are a proud country with a long history of defending our rights and way of life. We should instill that national pride in the next generation. Attending a local observance, experiencing a 21-gun salute, hearing the somber playing of ñ Taps,î will all go a long way toward accomplishing that goal. Observations around the region will not be hard to find. Here is a quick rundown of observances planned in our readership area: •In Warrensburg, American Legion Post 446 will be conducting ceremonies at 10:45 a.m. Nov. 11 at the Warrensburg Cemetery off Hudson Street. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4821 of Warrensburg is holding its veterans day ceremonies at 11 a.m. in Frederick Flynn Memo-
rial Park on River Street. •In Chestertown, the Chestertown-based American Legion and VFW are combining forces for a Veterans Day ceremony at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 at the new Veterans Memorial Plaza in front of the Chester Municipal Center. •In North Creek, the Adirondack Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on State Route 28 in North Creek will host a Veterans Day memorial service at 2 p.m. Nov. 11. The service is open to the public. •In Crown Point, the First Congregational Church is holding its third annual Veterans Recognition and Appreciation as part of its 9:30 a.m. worship service on Nov. 10. •In Ticonderoga, veterans will be honored during TiconderogaÍ s seventh annual ñ memory walkî Nov. 10 at 1 p.m. in the west Pine Section of Valley View Cemetery. Also in Ticonderoga The Ti Elks will hold a Veterans Day dinner 4:30-7 p.m. It will be free for all veterans and donations will be appreciated by non-veterans. Fort Ti will also recognize veterans with a living history event, Saturday, Nov. 9, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. • In Wadhams, the Veterans Organizations of Essex County, through the Veterans Cemetery Committee, are conducting an observance of Veterans Day at the Essex County Veterans Cemetery on Nov. 11, beginning at 11 a.m. •In Keene, American Legion Marcy Post 1312 will conduct a traditional Veterans Day Ceremony at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 at the Veterans Monument Park on Norton Cemetery Road. The ceremony will be followed by the formal dedication of the granite WWII Monument and a memorial granite bench. •In Willsboro, the ninth annual Veterans Day Appreciation Program will be held Nov. 11 at 4:30 p.m. at the Willsboro Central School Cafeteria with dinner to follow. •In Keeseville, VFW Post 1505 will host a dinner for veterans Nov. 11. The event is free for all vets and a donation will be asked for all guests. A ham dinner will be served at 5 p.m. •In Plattsburgh, the Clinton Community College Veterans Club will hold a Veterans Day Observation Nov. 11 at the college beginning at noon and SUNY Plattsburgh Army ROTC is holding an open house from 11:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. in Sibley Hall, Room 309 C. If you have the opportunity, be sure to pay it forward by including children in Veterans Day ceremonies. And, donÍ t forget to thank a vet this Monday for his or her service. „

What the Future Holds
Letters to the Editor
Dinner supported
To the Valley News: I would like to thank the Friends of the Westport Heritage House who worked so hard to put together the Spaghetti Diner in support of the roof repairs. Between the dinners and donations you helped the WHH roof project raise just over $600. Thank you, to all of you who helped to make the spaghetti dinner a success. Thank you, for your dedication to our community. The volunteerism in Westport continues to amaze me. Sincerely, Nancy Decker Westport Heritage House Manager
Little lauded To the Valley News: I am pleased to announce that New York Farm Bureau has recently named Senator Betty Little to our annual ñ Circle of Friendsî list. This legislative award is granted based upon her record of legislative support for New York agriculture and the Farm Bureau. New York Farm
Bureau is a non-partisan organization and does not endorse elected officials or political candidates. Senator Little joins a number of other legislators from both sides of the aisle in the Senate and Assembly who have a superior voting record on issues of concern to New York farmers during the 2013 state legislative session. Each member of the Farm Bureau ñ Circle of Friendsî has demonstrated an understanding of the important topics affecting farmers and the considerable impact agriculture has on our economy and quality of life in every region of the state. New York Farm Bureau, the stateÍ s largest general farm advocacy organization, works closely with the legislature to strengthen and enhance agriculture in New York State. We have made significant gains over the past year, including the passage of the 2% agricultural assessment cap to rein in rising property taxes, and this would not have been possible without significant support from key legislators, such as Senator Little. With her continued leadership, agriculture will remain one of New YorkÍ s most important economic engines. We are pleased to provide the ñ Circle of Friendsî designation to Senator Little to thank her for her hard work on behalf of farmers in the North Country and across New York State. Dean Norton, President New York Farm Bureau

Plight of going digital
S
ince ANCA (Adirondack North Country Association ) started the campaign ñ Go Digital or Go Dark,î we at the Palace Theatre have experienced many ups and downs. First some ups: the very first ï on-lineÍ donation on April 1 was from my nephew David Hunkins, now living in Connecticut. The first donation given to us directly at the theatre was from Ben Cross, a very frequent movie goer and good friend. The donation money brought into the Palace by the Wilson family of Saranac Lake, which was from a lemonade and brownie sale; the donation from our granddaughter, made by parking cars during ñ Ironman;î The 11 year old Lake Placid boy who requested donations to help save the Palace instead of Birthday gifts; The $5 given to us by an eight-year old Canadian girl after she saw the movie trailer, ñ that showed how the theatres need donations or else they would be closed.î She wrote a nice note saying she visited Lake Placid every year, ñ I hope you will stay open so I can come back and see you again;î a very generous donation from the Lockwood family; Donations from The Builders Club (a youth division of Kiwanis) and the Kiwanis Club ñ Teddy Bear Picnicî fundraiser; The support from the LPCS Class of 2013 and the Alumni Association with their respective generous donations; The fundraiser that Smoke Signals held for us, and most recently the Zumbathon Fund Raiser. Donations from familyfriends-business associates have many times brought tears to our eyes. Summer visitors from all corners of the United States, also our Canadian visitors, have
sent donations after attending a movie at the Palace, and many people have made second donations„ we thank you all!!! Now some Downs. Newspaper articles, most out of Albany early on in the î Go Digital or Go Darkî campaign (July 12 article) stated that the Palace was halfway to its goal (although a correction was made the next day). This misinformation did not help us!!! Although the article did contain much good information, like how raising our admission prices would only put money in the pockets of Hollywood, as we pay a percentage (usually about 60 percent) of our gross ticket sales to them, and how Hollywood requires us to play their movies until they make hardly any money (this is why we really need our small 48 seat theatre to be converted to digital also). Then there were many articles about how $400,000 was available to help theatres with digital conversions, all from different New York State sources. THESE ALL WERE LOANS„ short term, for five years, and even at a possible low 4 percent rate, to borrow $100,000.00 (we still need more than that amount), payments would be $1,850 per month (NBT Bank figures). We do not make enough money to guarantee payments in this amount: I have to say this„ the most recent headline, î $4000,000 available for theatre upgrades,î quotes Gov. Cuomo, ñ Across the Adirondacks movie theatres have been struggling to take on costly upgrade projects to stay in business... Faced with this reality, business and community leaders came together through the Regional Council Initiative to create the Digital Film Conversion Loan Fund, which will help small town cinemas in the North Country modernize their equipment and remain competitive... This LVDQRW KHUH[ DP S OHRI KRZ S XEOLF S ULYDW H
partnerships are helping to promote economic growth in communities across the state.î Any business person knows offering such loans is just a bunch of political words, like blowing smoke into the wind. One more source for funding was an offer to partner with a non-profit, The Adirondack Film Society, thus making us eligible for a grant through the Council for the Arts. I will not get into all of the drawbacks re-written into the contract, but the bottom line always was that the nonprofit would own the digital machines, even if a second machine was purchased with a very small amount of grant funds and mostly Palace monies. This would mean the Film Society would own two of the Palace Theatre digital machines. We declined to sign this contract! I understand that the Film Society then moved on to partner with the Strand in Schroon Lake. We are happy to announce that Monday evening our 1926 original downstairs theatre screen saw its last ï first-runÍ movie projected using 35 mm film. When we re-open this theatre, it will be with digital projection. We were able to order this equipment because donations were made directly to the Palace and were placed in a special ñ digitalî account. The other half, $31,000, will be paid from the on-line credit card donations and those made through ANCA. Now we are halfway there! We again thank everyone and ask for your continued donations to help keep our business a viable one on Main Street. Please support us with your attendance even though we may have limited movie choices after the end of the year when film ceases to be produced. Reg and Barbara Clark Palace Theater Lake Placid

M
ost agree that the first working computer was developed by German scientist Conrad Zuse in 1936 and was eventually destroyed in an air raid on Berlin during WWII. British code breakers developed the first programmable computer, the Colossus. This computer successfully broke German and Japanese codes and in the process saved thousands of allied soldiers as allied forces often knew what the enemy was planning in advance. Computers were not available when I was in school and I did not encounter them until college. Computers then utilized a computer language called FORTRAN. An operator would type in words that then punched holes By Scot Hurlburt in rectangular cards. Eventually, personal computers became available to ordinary people and the internet revolutionized the culture of the world. Old men like myself still prefer speaking with people in person or at the very least on a telephone. As age is factored into the way that we communicate, the younger someone is the less likely they are to actually speak to someone in person or on the telephone. The telephone is of limited utility to people under the age of twenty five unless they are texting someone. Even email has fallen off dramatically for younger users. In a relatively short time, the internet has provided us with an encyclopedia called ñ Wikipediaî that more than replaced the old hard cover Britannica that I recall. EBay and Craigslist have provided us with a new marketplace that makes anything that you can conceive of available. These developments were scarcely thought of twenty years before they arrived and what may show up over the next twenty years; may well prove even more amazing than the previous twenty five years. Just a few of the technological developments that are on the horizon are starting to be discussed. The ñ CHUMBYî is due to be launched next year and is a wireless internet device about the size of a rugby ball. It does not have a keyboard or mouse and instead uses software to display anything that you want it to. The manufacturers have not yet totally revealed its uses or capacities. Every block was developed by Chicago native Adrian Holovaty. He previously developed crime overlays based on statistics for the city of Chicago. Similar technologies will be employed to create ñ hyper localî news. Local house sales, sports events, local crime figures and youth stories will be merged into a local news focus. Computer watchdogs expect this development to be replicated around the country. ñ 23 and Me,î will allow anyone to unlock their own genetic history. For about $1,000 American dollars, anyone can find out if they are likely to have arthritis or dementia in old age. Customers provide a saliva sample and also are granted access to an on-line site where they can share and explore their genetic history with friends and or relatives around the world. Peer to peer lending will put you in touch with someone who wants to buy what you have or sell you what they have. Micro financing has grown out of this movement and small loans are being made to people that cannot get conventional loans. So far the default rate on these loans is very low at .23 percent. Mob Rules is an idea identified by futurist Harold Rheingold and author Mark Pesce. In 2014, every second person on earth will have a cell phone. Pesce points out that in less than a decade the world has gone from half of the world having never made a telephone call to half of the world owning a telephone. He believes that as people around the world are more in touch with each other, they will choose a direction and by just their collective push, they will be unstoppable. Guerilla Wi-Fi involves wireless internet connections. An internet startup Meraki, offers a plug in device that increases your ability to share your internet access by 50 meters. A newer device will expand wireless sharing up to 350 meters and guerilla networks are expected to develop all over the world. Like health care, housing and employment, internet access is a social equity issue. These developments will help youth who are unable to access the internet due to lack of familial resources. The World Community Grid is aimed at solving complex issues like cancer or the effects of climate change by making computers available to more people. The idea being; that all of us are smarter than any one of us. The One laptop per child program is aimed at providing laptops to the two billion children in the developing world that do not have them. This group was developed by MIT professor, Nicholas Negropante and receives corporate support from GOOGLE. As technology advances and people around the world better know each other the issues that divide the world may decrease. The young people around the world today, with the aid of technology; may work together to make the world a safer place for everyone. Remember, all kids count.

ROOST seeks to expand
Tax sale help passed
The board also passed a resolution allowing the county to seek out bids for helping to prepare the 2009, 2010 and 2011 tax sales. ñ We have been trying to do this to take some of the workload off of our attorney and the county clerk’s office,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. ñ It has been seven years since we have had one and the purpose is to get these properties back on the tax rolls.î
IRS payments
The board voted to pay an $82,680.25 fee to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) based on a decision that certain individuals who contracted with the county as independent contractors and in different capacities were employees of the county and should have been subject to withholdings of Social Security and Medicare. The county will pay for the fine out of its contingency account, which leaves a balance of $2,319.75. Palmer said that if there are any other unforeseen expenses between now and the end of the county fiscal year, it will have to be paid through the use of fund balance. ñ We will have to go to fund balance. You canÍ t pay contingency back,î he said.
Workers supported
Supervisor Blades offered a resolution thanking the employees of the Horace Nye Nursing Home for their hard work over the past two years as the facility started the transition from public operation to private under the ownership of Centers for Specialty Care. ñ I think that they have done an awesome, excellent job,î he said.
Horses
Continued from page 1 The county has also worked with veterinarian Diane Dodd, DVM, who has helped the horses gain weight and strength. Each has been checked for internal parasites, dewormed, brought up to date on vaccinations, and has a negative Coggins report.
The open house Nov. 9 will run from 9 a.m. until noon at the fairgrounds in Westport, and adoption applications will be available. Previewing of the horses other than during the open house is by appointment and only for those who have submitted completed applications. Adoption fees for the horses have been waived. Those interested in adopting should contact Crane Mountain Valley Horse Rescue, Inc. at 9628512 or horses@cmvhr.org. A completed application is required to be considered for adoption. Throughout the process, the county has had many volunteers who have helped to care for the horses and have received donations of feed, shavings, wheelbarrows, buckets and hoses along with round pens for turnout, exercise and grazing. They are still accepting donations for the care of the seized horses. To donate, make checks payable to the Essex County Treasurer Office and send it to P.O. Box 217, Elizabethtown, N.Y. 12932. Write ñ Horse Careî on the memo line. The funds are tax deductible, and the county is sending receipts for donations.

The regular monthly meeting of the Ways and Means Committee will be held before the hearing at 6 p.m. (normally held at 10 a.m.). The 2014 tentative budget will be released by Nov. 15, according to county Manager Daniel Palmer. ñ We have been meeting with several department heads and there are still a couple more we want to meet with,î Board Chairman Randy Douglas of Jay said of the groundwork going into the budget along with budget sub-committee chairman David Blades of Lewis. Palmer said he would be discussing the budget at the next sub-committee meeting, which will take place Tuesday, Nov. 12, a 1 p.m. ñ This year looks a little better than it has in the past,î Palmer said. ñ A lot of that is the influx of cash coming in from the sale of the Horace Nye Nursing Home. We have developed a five-year plan to get us back. If we accept some increases to the levy, we can get back to a balanced budget over a period of time.î
29 meeting. ñ The Board of Supervisors has narrowed the field determining that the ROOST proposal offers the greatest benefit to Hamilton County,” the resolution states. The contract is for an amount not to exceed $250,000, which includes $25,000 in administrative costs. The contract would be for one year, starting Jan. 1, 2014. Osborne has returned to the job temporarily after Ann Melious left the position earlier in the year and moved out of the area. Osborne had retired in January 2011 and was succeeded by Melious, a former Lake Placid resident who had previously been the executive director of the Adirondack Regional Tourism Council.

Members of the board also gave their blessing to the Lake Placid Visitors Center/Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism submission of an RFP to take over as the lead for tourism and marketing programs in Hamilton County.

Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey said there are currently five applications that have been submitted to Hamilton County seeking to provide the services requested, including the Lake Placid-based companyÍ s. The Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Thursday, Nov. 7 are expected to vote on hiring the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST), based in Lake Placid, to manage its tourism marketing program.

Jay set to hold 2014 preliminary budget public hearing
Au SABLE FORKS „ The town of JayÍ s 2014 preliminary budget, will be discussed at the Nov. 14, 6:30 p.m. public hearing to be held at the Town of Jay Community Center board meeting room with a regular board meeting to follow at 7 p.m. in anticipation of passing the proposed budget. The preliminary budget calls for a 1.8 percent increase to the 2014 town spending plan, increasing from $1,680,079 in 2013 to $1,711,862.73 in 2014, a difference of $31,783.73. ñ Within the budget, the general fund would go to a rate of $2.35 per thousand of assessed value from $2.37 in 2013 therefore a property assessed at $100,000 would see a decrease of $2 on their tax bill come January,î Jay supervisor Randy Douglas said. ñ The highway fund would go from a rate of $3.32 per thousand of assessed value in 2013 down to $3.25 in 2014. Therefore a property assessed at $100,000 would see a decrease of $6.33 on their January tax bill. Also included in the budget this year, is a 2 percent raise for all employees and elected officials. This is only the second raise given within a four-year period.î ñ We analyze trends in spending, evaluate the effectiveness of operations and ensure our budget remains in balance,î said Budget Officer Susan Richards. ñ I am most proud of the hard work. We the Town Board did on behalf of the residents of Upper Jay; leveraging state and federal funding to offset the cost to the Upper Jay water users and settling the lawsuit inherited,î Douglas said. We provided safe affordable drinking water and reduced their inherited rate of $9.97 per thousand to $2.38 per thousand. Over the past 10 years, our adopted town budgets have seen an average increase of 1.75 percent even before the tax cap legislation was enacted.î Douglas credited DPW Director Chris Garrow, the board, all employees, department heads and Richards for continuously suggesting ways to save taxpayer dollars. ñ When unfunded mandates (statute or regulation that requires a state or local government to perform certain actions, with no money provided for fulfilling the requirements), such as
Savage NY finalist for HS Heisman By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com
CLINTONVILLE „ An AuSable Valley football player made it to the state finals for a high school award made famous by its collegiate counterpart. Dillon Savage, a senior running back for the Patriots, was selected as a state finalist for the Wendy’s High School Heisman Award, presented annually to a male and female high school student-athlete on the same day as the Heisman Memorial Award, which is given to the nationÍ s top college Dillon Savage football player. Savage was one of 10 male athletes selected as a New York state finalist and was the only student-athlete from Section VII. More than 48,000 candidates nationwide were up for the award. This season, Savage returned from injury to carry the ball 121 times for 501 yards and four touchdowns in seven games. He also caught three passes for 55 yards offensively while recording five forced fumbles and one fumble recovery, which he returned for a touchdown, on the defensive side of the ball. He has been a five-year varsity starter on the Patriots baseball team (sixth team NYSSWA all state team); five-year starter on the Lake Placid hockey team; and a three-year starter on the football team (three all-star selections). Academically, Savage held a 3.3 GPA.
New York state retirement eat up the majority of our allowable tax cap, we are forced to make tough educated decisions that will save taxpayer dollars. Recently, we eliminated one justice position; this is a prime example of being fiscally responsible to our people,î said Douglas. ñ Although we operate on a very tight budget, we pinch every penny possible in order to provide clean and efficient water
and sewer facilities, scenic parks, safe roads and infrastructures throughout the town we all call home,î Garrow said. “I am proud of the town of Jay’s financial status especially with all the townÍ s been through, with nine states of emergencies declared in the last nine years, including Tropical Storm Irene,î Douglas said. ñ We were recently audited by the New York State Comptroller’s Office and came through with flying colors.”

Wadhams’ Strawberry Festival honored with Heritage Award By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com
Faylene Davis, Frisky Irvin, Maurya Teale, Evelyn Brant, Letha Stafford, Isabelle Smith and Helen Eagle outside the Wadhams United Church of Christ, home to the annual Strawberry Festival which was honored with a TAUNY Heritage Award Oct. 13.
WADHAMS „ A Wadhams June tradition has been named a ñ North Country Legend.î The Wadhams Strawberry Festival, held on FatherÍ s Day each year, was honored with the North Country Heritage Award by the Cantonbased organization Traditional Arts in Upstate New York (TAUNY). ñ Every year residents of Wadhams look forward to the Strawberry Festival, sponsored by the United Church of Christ,î said TAUNY in announcing the award. ñ Now in its 147th year, the event is held in the parish hall and on the church grounds. While thereÍ s music and other festivities, strawberry shortcake from the new crop is the true highlight of the year.î ñ It is a very nice achievement for the Wadhams Church,î Faylene Davis of the Strawberry Festival said. ñ Many people have worked putting on the Strawberry Festival over the 100 plus years.î For Davis, the festival is a part of her life from when she was a child. ñ I remember going when I was in grade
school. My grandparents took part in cutting up strawberries and making ice cream,î Davis said. ñ Now my grandchildren come to the Festival.î ñ I was surprised by it,î Evelyn Brant said. ñ Margaret Gibbs nominated us for it.

Ticonderoga Red Hats perform, solve mystery, remain active By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA „ Whodunit? ThatÍ s what the Ladies Between the Lakes of the Red Hat Society had to figure out recently as they presented their annual mystery. ñ We began our mysteries to enhance our fun experience and they provide a bit of suspense along with entertainment,î said Dawn House of the ladies group. ñ This yearÍ s mystery, ï Gone With The Breeze,Í was to discover who stole the mortgage money for the great plantation Kara and stole the heart of Bret Rutler. Among the characters were Maggie Nolya, Dixie Mason and Sherry Blossom. ñ This is our 10th mystery,î she said. ñ If we keep going, we may be on our way to Hollywood!î The production, performed at Some Where In Time mansion in Diamond Point, featured Ann Westervelt, Liz Nolfe, Susan Rathbun, Juanita Napper, Alta LaPine, Diane LaCourse, Carol Barnwell and House. The production was just the latest event for the Ticonderogabased Red Hat Society. Since it formed in 2002, the group has held monthly gatherings. “Our official name is Ladies Between the Lakes of the Red Hat Society,î House said. ñ We started out with eight members and grew to almost 100 over the years. We are now at 58 members. ñ The main purpose of the Red Hat Society is to have fun and build friendships for women over the age of 50,î she said. ñ We meet once a month for lunch and have gone to many restaurants, almost never repeating the same restaurant. These lunches are combined with an interesting venue, such as the Saratoga races, dinner theaters, the cruises on Lakes George, the Garnet Mines, casino, Soap Factory, Morgan Horse Farm, various museums and a hilarious fashion show. For our outing in October we are going to the Chilson Brook Alpaca Farm.
î The Red Hat Society is an international society made up of women of all ages,î said Emily Yost, Red Hat marketing director. ñ The society, originally designed as a way for women over 50 to escape the pressures and demands placed on their everyday lives, has matured, growing deeper than fun and friendship and including women of all ages. The Red Hat Society has become the international society dedicated to reshaping the way women approaching 50 and beyond are viewed in todayÍ s culture. ñ RHS supports and encourages women to pursue fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment of lifelong dreams and fitness,” she said. ñ It serves as the center point of all communications and opportunities for its Members offering The Ladies Between the Lakes of the Red Hat Society recently presented their annual mystery.

Moriah makes repairs to dam located in town of Westport Century-old deal makes Moriah responsible By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com WESTPORT „ ItÍ s on private property. ItÍ s in the town of Westport. So why did the town of Moriah repair a dam at North Pond? The answer lies in a century-old agreement. Water from North Pond, which is located in a remote area in the town of Westport on private land now owned by Lyme Timber, at one time fed Bartlett Pond in Min-
eville, which is the town of Moriah water supply, Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava explained. An agreement between the two towns, reached about 100 years ago, made Moriah responsible for the maintenance of a dam at North Pond in exchange for water rights. An inspection of the dam by the state Department of Environmental Conservation last year showed repairs were needed. Moriah no longer uses North Pond as part of its water supply, but DEC demanded action from the town. ñ North Pond dam has significant concrete deterioration, displaced stones and signifi-
cant leakage through the dam,î Donald Canestrari, a DEC engineer, wrote to Scozzafava. ñ The water from the impoundment does not pass over the spillway, but passes through the dam as leakage.î The dam is located three miles away from the nearest roadway, making it difficult to access with heavy equipment. That remote location helped drive the estimated cost of the project to $250,000 „ for a dam not in the town of Moriah, not used by the town and not owned by the town. Scozzafava asked Jamie Wilson, Moriah highway superintendent, if his department could do the work at the dam cheaper than
hiring a construction firm. The answer was a resounding, ñ Yes!î Using Moriah highway workers and equipment, the dam was repaired for $16,000. ñ It was a good project,î Wilson said. ñ We constructed a new spillway at the dam and met all the DEC requirements.î Wilson praised Dominick Fontana of the DEC for working with the town on the project. Scozzafava praised Wilson. ñ This was going to cost our taxpayers a quarter of a million dollars,î the supervisor said. ñ This man (Wilson) went up there and saved us a lot of money.î

The outdoor gym class
U
nless parents learn how to ñ pull the plugî on electronic entertainment, the ï wired generationÍ may never learn how to enjoy a host of healthy entertainment options that are typically available outside their own back door. The list of activities is extensive and they can provide participants with the essential skills for a life long physical fitness regime. However the time frame for creating the next generation of skiers and boarders, anglers and hunters, runners and swimmers, paddlers and bikers is not strictly limited to a key period. Although studies have identified the fourth grade/ age 10 years as the critical time frame for introducing children to lifelong recreational habits, kids can develop the skills at an earlier age, or at a later age. The need for life skills education is especially amplified in rural areas, where structured recreational outlets have always been rather limited. This situation is obvious in many North Country communities where youth centers are few, organized sports are limited and the availability of a central ï hangoutÍ is often nonexistent. Some of the smaller communities no longer support a local diner, movie theatre, arcade, bowling alley or even a recreation center. Even without an obvious lack of quick, easy and responsible recreation, bored kids are eventually going to find some sort of recreation outlet, for better or worse. Fortunately, most North Country residents have a positive recreational outlet as close as their own back yard. However, these outlets are limited to those who have both the skills and the tools to pursue them. There isnÍ t a lack of interest. A recent Outdoor Recreation Participation Study conducted by the Outdoor Industry Foundation indicates that: ñ AmericansÍ participation in active outdoor recreation remains strong; in fact 72 percent of Americans, age 16 and above, participated in some form of active outdoor recreation last year.î Fortunately, there are a lot of other studies to back it up. Check out the highlights from some recent studies: • Unstructured free play brings cognitive, social and health benefits to children. • Unstructured free play in the outdoors brings a host of benefits to
children ranging from being smarter, to more cooperative to becoming healthier overall. • The study builds a strong case for the importance of unstructured free play in the out-of-doors for all age groups, and especially young children. The authors cite cognitive benefits from play in nature, including creativity, problem-solving, focus and self-discipline. • Social benefits include cooperation, flexibility, and self-awareness. Emotional benefits include stress reduction, reduced aggression and increased happiness. Children will be smarter, better able to get along with others, healthier and happier when they have regular opportunities for free and unstructured play in the out-of-doors. • Being outdoors is important to our overall health and the evidence reveals that contact with natural surroundings promotes healthier social behavior and lessens social dysfunction, improves resilience, helps to alleviate stress, promotes optimal psychological functioning, improves recovery from physical trauma, and reduces mortality. However, a study that really caught my eye details the benefits of outdoor skills education and wildlife-related outdoor education. It indicates outdoor skills education supports our health, learning, and lifestyle. In addition, the authors note a significant relationship exists between outdoor skills education and lifelong participation in fishing, hunting and other outdoor pursuits. In a review, the authors discussed evidence regarding the benefits of outdoor skills education, including improved interpersonal and interpersonal skills, environmental awareness, physical, mental, and social health; the ability to learn and concentrate and stewardship ethics in regard to hunting and fishing. The study authors also noted indicators of recruitment and retention in these outdoor activities, which include early life experiences, mentorship, and structured programs that are culturally appropriate and more holistic and ecologically oriented. The studies didnÍ t really shed any new light on the subject, they simply verified what most outdoor travelers already know. The time we spend outdoors is healthy, relaxing, reinvigorating, calming, stress reducing and provides good clean fun. At least two New York state politicians have seen the light, and the legislation theyÍ ve proposed appears to be supported by the recent research. Assembly bill, A4345, sponsored by Assemblyman Will Barclay, RPulaski, and Senate version S4933, sponsored by Sen. John Bonacic, R-Mt. Hope propose ñ An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to hunting, fishing and outdoor education in high school physical education coursesî The proposed legislation, which is supported by the New York State Conservation Council, would allow school districts the option of providing a curriculum of hunting, fishing and trapping education as a component of high school physical education courses. Although it does not require school districts to implement the outdoor curriculum, it does allow them to offer outdoor skills as a component of the physical education program.

A future, Varsity Bass Fishing athlete shows off his prowess with the long rod during a session of off season training! It is interesting to note that studies indicate the percentage of high school athletes who continue to regularly participate in team sports following graduation remains extremely low. The likelihood of regular participation in team sports diminishes exponentially after a former high school athlete takes on the responsibilities of full time employment, marriage, children and family duties, etc. Within five years of graduation, the vast majority of high school athletes will never again participate in a regular routine of team athletics. The sole exception to this trend are high school athletes who participated as members of a Varsity Bass Fishing team. However, the percentage of athletes who regularly participate in outdoor pursuits such as skiing, hunting, fishing, running, biking, paddling, hiking, climbing and similar outdoor pursuits continues to grow. Such pursuits are often referred to as life skills, since they can be pursued on an individual basis for life. These are athletic events that do not require additional team members or referees. There is no need for scorekeepers or groomed fields, nor time clocks or bleachers full of cheering spectators or the usual cheerleaders. Typically, the playing field for such non-traditional athletes is an actual field, or a forest, stream, lake or even a rock ledge. These are the fields for athletes who have learned to stay away from the courts. They prefer to play in special arenas where the only spectators are fish, fowl or game.

United Way addresses county By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN „ United Way of the Adirondack Region Executive Director John Bernardi returned to the Essex County Board of Supervisors Monday, Nov. 4, to make his annual appeal for the organizationÍ s fundraising effort. ñ This network provided services to 80,000 people across the region,î Bernardi said of the organizationÍ s efforts in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. ñ That is half the population, which is really significant in the North Country.î Bernardi said the United Way has always had a strong connection with Essex County, with three members of the board having served in the same capacity for them. ñ I want to thank Gerry (Morrow) for all the support and leadership in the United Way over
the years,î Bernardi said. ñ Randy (Douglas) and Tom (Scozzafava) have also served on the board before.î ñ If anyone wants to have a presentation at your town, I will go anywhere to visit and make these presentations,î said Morrow, who served as the fundraising campaign chairman two years ago. ñ This is the most rewarding committee that I have ever sat on. You see people that are in need, and we have the chance to go in and help them out and it is so rewarding.î Bernardi said that along with contributions made through the county employees to the United Way, they have seen several town governments become involved with the campaign. As of Nov. 4, the United Way of the Adirondack Region website reported that $141,270 had been raised toward a goal of $725,000.

‘Little Shop of Horrors’ at Willsboro CS By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com WILLSBORO „ Skid row, doo wop and a blood thirsty plant from outer space take over the Willsboro Central School (WCS) stage to bring the comedic musical ñ Little Shop of Horrors (LSH),î to life. The play is one of the longest-running off-Broadway shows of all time. Senior Austin Ferris stars as Seymour, a down-and out skid row floral assistant who becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. The plant, named Audrey II, is brought to life by the voice of Mat Longware and the puppettering of play director and teacher, Derrick A. Hopkins. The play follows as Audrey II grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&Bsinging carnivore who offers Seymour fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite for human flesh. Longware said the puppets are going to be real fun for the audience to see. The four Audrey II puppets are on loan from Character Translations, Inc., based in Norristown, Penn. ñ The puppets go from small to huge. There smallest potted plant, the next is a little larger, then there is one I have to sit in to control and the ï big momma,Í as we call it, I have to stand in to control,î Hopkins said. Audience will be drawn in from the flashy costumes, exciting musical scores, fantastic performances of the student actors and the orchestra and of course the tongue-in-cheek comedy, Hopkins said. After the last two dramatic plays of ñ Sound of Musicî and ñ Oliver,î it was time to change things up and have a little more fun with the dramatic performances.

ñ ItÍ s a fun, light 50Í s to 60Í s vibe pop rock musical,î Hopkins said. ñ It gives the kids a chance to be a little corny, over-the-top. The kids have had so much fun.î The play is narrated by the vocals of the doo wop girls: Lizzie Daly, Taressa Lacey, Mikaela Salen and Sherika Pulsifer. The girls have extravagent costume changes that set the tone for the scenes and give the backlog of the story. ñ There are a lot of quick changes and lots of threepart harmonies,î Daly said. For Ferris, the LSH movie was one of his favorites as a kid. Performing the classic 1950Í s sci-fi movie has been an exciting adventure for him. ñ ItÍ s mind blowing I get to play my favorite character,î Ferris said. ñ ItÍ s an awesome play. WeÍ re doing a lot of new things this year and people are going to love the music.î Sophomore Laura Klein said the audience will have a lot of fun seeing the performance. ñ IÍ m playing Audrey and itÍ s fun and challenging, sheÍ s kind of loose and
a little flighty so I had to rehearse the voice a lot at home,î Klein said. ñ Everything about her is just over the top and thatÍ s definitely not like me at all. It has been a lot of fun playing the character.î This is KleinÍ s first leading role in a high school performance and her first solo musical number. The comedic nature of the play was one of her favorite parts of rehearsing. ñ I think itÍ s easier to perform in from of an audience than the cast. IÍ m glad itÍ s a comedy so I can play it off when a line makes me laugh,î Klein said. ñ This play is completely different for Willsboro, we have a small and really talented cast so we have a lot of fun for the audience.î LSH is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. Little Shop of Horrors will be performed at the school auditorium Nov. 7, 8 and 9 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. General admission is $10 and seniors and student tick-

Westport Chamber president looks to the future of town By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT „ According to the head of the Westport Chamber of Commerce, Westport is ready to poised for a breakthrough. ñ I think we are ready to make a great leap forward,î said Dee Carroll, president of the chamber. ñ If we pay attention to the ideas that are in the River Street Association Report, our community could continue to build on economic success and revitalize the town.î The River Street report is a project sanctioned by the town of Westport and the chamber through a grant to look at economic development strategies. ñ They were charged with coming up with some concrete things that our community could do,î Carroll said. The Chamber will be hosting a meeting to discuss the release of the report Nov. 19 at 6 p.m. Before that, the chamber will be hosting its annual dinner Thursday, Nov. 7, at the Westport Hotel and Tavern. This year, the chamber is recognizing the numerous residents of the town who have volunteered to help serve the community as their Citizens of the Year. ñ We were aware of so many volunteers,î Carroll said. ñ The

It takes a toll on anyone, but for infants it can be deadly. Fortunately, there are vaccines that can prevent whooping cough. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that infants and children get the childhood vaccine that includes protection against whooping cough plus diphtheria and tetanus (DTaP) at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 15 through 18 months of age.

big one, of course, was the school doing their town adoption day. The whole school got involved and we thought this would be a way to thank everyone.î Carroll also spoke of the people who volunteered their time at the Westport Heritage House. ñ We have had over 40 volunteer ambassadors who have represented the community to visitors and told the stories about life here in Westport,î she said. ñ Nancy (Decker) and all of the people on the committee are volunteers. The chamber is all volunteer and there are a number of people who are volunteering throughout the town in a bunch of different capacities. If it were not for the volunteers, we would struggle.î Carroll said that volunteerism will be a key to the success of the town in the future. ñ If Westporters continue to step up to the plate and be involved and do some of these things that will be talked about Nov. 19, then I think we can move forward,î she said. ñ I see it as a wave, a big leap forward and it will take a lot of work and a lot of people taking part in that work.î Carroll said the chamber has worked throughout the past year on repairing the Heritage House roof, working to build relationships between businesses in neighboring towns and creating themed itineraries for use by Lakes to Locks Passages. In the future, a lot of the focus for the chamber is on the up-
coming Bicentennial program and the creation of a beautification committee. “We want to find ways to make Westport even more attractive to visitors, potential residents and visitors,î Carroll said. ñ We can start doing it now and getting people involved. We want to continue to encourage and praise those people who step forward to help.î For more on the Westport Chamber of Commerce, visit the website westportny.com.
Zoning board announces vacancy
ELIZABETHTOWN „ The Elizabethtown Zoning Board of Appeals has a vacancy for an alternate member of the board. Applicants must be residents of Elizabethtown, and at least 18 years of age. No previous governmental experience is required. The main prerequisites are a willingness to serve, learn and be open minded. Regular meetings are held once a month. Training is required and provided for all ZBA members. Send a letter of interest to: ZBA - P.O. Box 265 Elizabethtown, N.Y. 12932 or e-mail Ron Testa at rontesta@charter.net. Deadline is Nov. 18.

Because protection from DTaP fades over time, CDC recommends another dose for adolescents (ideally at 11-12 years) and adults of whooping cough vaccine (that also covers diphtheria and tetanus), known as Tdap. Adults who did not receive Tdap as pre-teens should get a dose now. By protecting themselves, older children and adults can form a cocoon of protection around the babies that may be too young to be fully protected by DTaP. ñ We are fast approaching the time of year when we are visiting with family and friends for holidays,î said Linda Beers, Public Health Director of Essex County. ñ We encourage people be sure they are up to date on their immunizations to protect themselves and others.î

McCormick, 200 freestyle relay team make state swim meet By Keith Lobdell

Emily McCormick scored her third and fourth sectional titles in the swimming pool for the Lady Patriots with wins in the 200 freestyle and the 200 medley relay. Photo by Keith Lobdell
CLINTONVILLE „ While AuSable Valley freshman Emily McCormick picked up a pair of Section VII swimming championships Nov. 2, she was very happy one came with the help of her friends. McCormick swam the second leg of the opening event of the meet, the 200 medley relay, along with senior Tonie Cross, freshman Lydia Brown and senior Haley Sprague. Their time of 2:12.41 had them in second place behind the Plattsburgh High relay team on the scoreboard, but a quick look at members of the Hornets told a different tale, as officials determined an improper exchange on one of the relay legs would give the win to the Patriots. ñ I thought, it canÍ t be true,î McCormick said. ñ I feel bad for them, but I am really excited for our team. I was able to go to states last year and this year I get to go with my teammates.î For Cross, the win marks the first state appearance for her in her final year of high school swimming. ñ I never really expected this, my mind is just going crazy right now,î Cross said. McCormick was not out of the pool long during the sectional championship meet held in her home pool at AVCS, competing in the second race of the event, the 200 free, where she picked up her second title of the day with a time of 2:12.50.
For McCormick, the wins gave her four career titles in her first two years of competition. ñ It is amazing to be going back,î she said. ñ I think that it is going to be exciting to do multiple events. I am going to be practicing a lot on my turns and my relay starts.î Cross said she also plans to work hard to prepare for the state meet, which will be held at Ithaca College Nov. 22-23. ñ I need to work hard on my starts and my endurance,î Cross said. ñ I want to keep the pace that I had here in sectionals.î However, the team did experience one setback on the day, as McCormick, holding the best time of the season entering the 500 freestyle race, was defeated by Alexis Kelley of Plattsburgh High, whose time of 5:37 was the only sub-five minute mark of the entire season in the event. Other top results included: 200 medley - Emily Wood, fourth, 2:49.40 50 freestyle - Lydia Brown, third, 28.63 seconds 100 butterfly - Lydia Brown, second, 1:08.50 100 freestyle - Emily Wood, fourth, 1:08.29 200 free relay (Tonie Cross, Haley Sprague, Megan Zmijewski, Emily Wood) - second, 2:07.69 100 backstroke - Tonie Cross, fourth, 1:13.09 100 breaststroke - Erin Butler, 10th, 1:39.05 400 free relay (Emily McCormick, Megan Zmijewski, Emily Wood, Lydia Brown) - second, 4:26.63
New classic: Elizabethtown-Lewis falls short in thriller v. Chazy By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH „ Chapter after chapter, the Elizabethtown-Lewis v. Chazy sectional rivalry keeps fans of North Country high school soccer wanting more. The Lions and Eagles delivered another classic in the Section VII/Class D boys soccer championship game Saturday, Nov. 2 at Plattsburgh High. For the Lions, however, the ending was also more familiar than they were hoping for. Scoreless through 80 minutes of regulation and the first 15 minutes of golden goal overtime, the Eagles scored on a rebound in the 103rd minute of play to score a 1-0 win and advance to the regional finals against Section X Saturday, Nov. 15, also at Plattsburgh High School. ñ We executed our game plan well,î head coach Paul Buehler said. ñ Chazy is a well coach,
exceptional program. Sometimes our best plan is to not allow them to execute theirs.î The Eagles held an 18-4 advantage in shots for the game as Justin LaPier recorded 10 saves in net for the Lions, including several timely saves to keep his team in contention. Trent Blais made a pair of saves for Chazy. ñ Justin is a great leader in the back,î Buehler said. ñ Everyone needed to play their best game of the season tonight and I think he did that.î Chazy held the majority of possession in the first half, while ELCS started to chip away at the Eagles defense in the second. ñ We wanted to wear them down and not let them execute, and we started to get a transition game together,î said Buehler, who added that he was pleased with the accomplishments of his team. ñ I have three players who had not played soccer two years ago that contributed to this team,î Buehler said. ñ We are still pretty young and there is a lot of talent in the younger kids.î
Justin LaPier made 10 saves for the Lions against Chazy in the Class D title game.

Volleyball
The AuSable Valley varsity girls volleyball team will look for its fourth Section VII/Class C title after scoring a 3-0 match win against Saranac in the sectional semifinals Oct. 31. The host Patriots treated themselves on Halloween to wins of 25-8, 25-10 and 25-13 against the Chiefs, using a pair of 10-0 point runs in the first and third games. ñ Their libero was really strong, so we tried our best to keep it away from her,” senior setter/attacker Miranda Sheffer said after the game. “We knew Saranac was going to be tough and was not going to give us anything.î The Patriots used a pair of long runs in the first game, scoring 10 straight on a side out and service game by Lindsay Brown to turn a 4-3 deficit into a 13-4 lead. Jocelyn Racette then served eight straight points as part of a 9-0 run with Sheffer connecting on a game-ending ace. In the second game, the Patriots used a pair of 6-0 runs on their way to a 2210 lead before Sheffer fired three straight aces to seal the 2-0 lead. The two teams battled back and forth in the third game until Sheffer again went to the service line with a 16-13 Patriot lead. The senior co-captain helped end the game on a 9-0 run with four aces and four assists, including a helper on the match-ending kill by Mirissa OÍ Neill. Sheffer finished with 15 assists to go with nine aces and three kills, while Miller had 11 kills along with four aces and three digs. Mirissa OÍ Neill added six kills, five assists and three aces, while Lindsay Brown had five digs and three kills; Jocelyn Racette four aces, four digs, one kill and one assist; Alexis Joy two aces; Lizzie Maloney three digs and one ace; and Lindsay Christian one kill.

The Moriah Vikings used their speed advantage to make their way to the Section VII/Class D championship game. The second seed Vikings blanked the sixth seed Westport Eagles, 6-0, Oct. 29 to punch their ticket to the sectional title game to be played at Plattsburgh High Saturday, Nov. 2, at 5 p.m. ñ We were not playing the possession game that we needed to against a team like this,î Eagles head coach Brad Rascoe said. ñ We did not have our A game tonight and their speed was the difference.î For the Eagles, Hannah Looby, who made three key saves in the penalty kick shootout against Keene to advance to the semifinals, made 17 saves in the loss. ñ The kids had a good season,î Rascoe said. ñ I do not think that anyone expected us to get past Keene and be where we were tonight.î

Westport’s Jonathan Gay advances to cross country states By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN „ The 2013 cross country ñ team of oneî has punched his ticket to the New York State Public High School Athletic AssociationÍ s cross country running championship meet. Jonathan Gay, of Westport, crossed the finish line of the 3.1-mile Section VII championships at the Cobble Hill Country Club in Elizabethtown in a time of 16:44, a fourth place overall finish and the second quickest for Class D runners. Competing in cross country has been a goal for Gay, who was a state qualifier in the spring for the track and field championships. ñ I have been looking forward to doing this for a couple of years now,î Gay said. ñ I am glad the school is letting me do this. My family has been driving me everywhere for practice and meets and they even paid for my uniform. I am glad they have done this for me and I want to thank them for caring a lot.î Gay has been coached by Howard Hammonds, who said the Westport runner has improved throughout the season. ñ He is a phenomenal young athlete,î Hammonds said. ñ This was his eighth cross country race ever so he is still learning, but this was his best 5K time this season so I think that we are peaking at the right time. He has a really big
race in him it just hasnÍ t come out yet.î Hammonds said Gay has pushed himself throughout the season to improve, something that can be hard to do when running alone, no one to train with in practice or have in-team competitions with. ñ He has nothing to run for but himself, which can be hard at times,î Hammonds said. ñ The only person he is letting down is himself, which can make it easier to let down or quit. He does not do that. He does phenomenal workouts and is in great shape. I am proud of his progress.î ñ ItÍ s been hard and I have been working non-stop in practice,î Gay said. ñ We have been going at it really hard, and I feel that I have worked twice as hard as anyone out there.î With his finish, Gay took the second of five at large bids for the Class D state championship race at Queensbury High School Nov. 9. ñ It feels amazing to reach this goal,î he said. ñ We are just going to work hard and push it over the next week. It is going to be crazy.î Gay said he feels his strengths come at the book-ends of the race, his starting push and kicks at the end. ñ The middle is where I need to improve,î he said. Also in the sectional boys race, AuSable Valley’s Brandon Ruocco finished 44th overall while Alex Wilson finished 52nd. In the girls race, Emily Patenaude finished 48th for AVCS with a time of 25:29 while fellow Patriot Lydia Russom was 51st in 26:43.

Lady Patriots earn fourth straight Class C volleyball title By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH „ The AuSable Valley Patriots volleyball team is looking to travel down the same road they have for the past four years. The Patriots completed the first step on that road Nov. 2, beating the Plattsburgh High Hornets, 3-0, in the Section VII/Class C championship game, their fourth straight. The win advanced AuSable Valley (17-1) to the regional semifinals, where they faced the Potsdam Sandstoners Nov. 6 in Massena. With a win, the Patriots would meet fellow four-time defending sectional champ (II) Voorheesville, who has defeated AVCS the three previous seasons to advance to the state volleyball championship meet at the Glens Falls Civic Center. ThatÍ s where the Patriots are hoping theyÍ ll
be able to remove the road block and continue on. ñ We have worked so hard to get to this point,î senior Mirissa OÍ Neill said. ñ We want to go on into the state tournament and get to Glens Falls. I am proud to be a part of this team.î ñ It is nice to have been able to end a high school career with a perfect record in sectionals, but as far as I am concerned, there are still a lot more games to be played in states,î senior Miranda Sheffer said. ñ I am so proud of everyone and so excited to be on this team,î senior Noelle Miller said. ñ I was so excited on the final point when I went up for the block and I saw the ball hit the floor on their side of the net.î ñ This is a very special group that comes around only once every 30 years,î head coach Sandra Hoey said. ñ Their work effort is second

Sheffer added 13 digs, eight kills, six assists and two aces; while O’Neill had 11 assists, five kills, three digs and one ace. Junior libero Alexandra Lincoln returned from an injury in the championship game to provide nine digs and two aces for the winning side. ñ I am really happy I could come back and play with everybody in this game,î Lincoln said. ñ I wanted to be a part of this game.

filled in for Lincoln while she was out. ñ Lizzie stepped up into a big role and we are very proud of her,î Sheffer said. ñ Having Alex back is another key to help us get to where we want to go.î ñ We have added depth and we can switch them in and out because Lizzie knows the role,î Hoey said. ñ Alex is still not 100 percent, so having two players that can play the libero allows us to keep taking it slowly. We have depth that can step up in their roles.î Hoey said the team needed to work on passing and return of serve but she was confident in her teamÍ s ability. ñ We need to play our game,î she said. Lindsay Brown added six kills, three digs and a block, while Jocelyn Racette had three aces, one kill and one dig; Lizzie Maloney two digs; and Lindsay Christian two digs.

ACT now Adirondack Foundation LAKE PLACID „ The community foundation known as Adirondack Community Trust, or ACT, since 1997 now has a new name: Adirondack Foundation. ñ Over the years, our organization has frequently and too easily been confused with a bank,î said Cali Brooks, Adirondack FoundationÍ s executive director. ñ Adirondack Foundation more accurately conveys our charitable purpose. While the name has changed, our mission has not: We will continue to lead and inspire the growth of generosity to benefit the Adirondack region.î Last fall, Adirondack FoundationÍ s Board of Trustees held a strategic retreat to examine the past, present and future of the organization. As a result, the board reaffirmed the community foundation’s commitment to the greater Adirondack region and agreed to consider a new name, strategies, outcomes and an upgraded website. After careful consideration, including guidance from Lake Placid-based marketing and advertising agency Adworkshop and input from staff, the board voted unanimously to change the name to Adirondack Foundation. The new name coincides with the launch of a new, improved website, developed by Adworkshop. The address„ www.generousact. org„ is the same, but the site is now better looking, more efficient and user friendly. ñ WeÍ re proud of our role as philanthropy central in the Adirondack region,î said John Ernst, chair of
Adirondack FoundationÍ s Board of Trustees. ñ We provide stewardship for more than $34 million„ and growing„ in personalized charitable funds and organizational endowments. We plan to deepen services to the donors and the nonprofits that entrust us to carry out their charitable giving.î Adirondack Foundation has introduced a new logo to go with the new name, as well as a new tagline„ ñ Generous Acts Enhancing Communitiesî „ which reflects Adirondack Foundation’s charitable mission while acknowledging the organizationÍ s past as ACT. ñ This step is a credit to the hundreds of people who have worked together over the past 16 years to build this community resource,î said Meredith Prime, who co-founded the Adirondack regionÍ s community foundation. ñ Adirondack Foundation has become the largest private grantmaker in the region, thanks to the generous people who take advantage of its wide range of donor services. Congratulations to all.î Adirondack Foundation provides stewardship for more than 220 distinct personalized charitable funds and organizational endowments that are pooled and invested. In the 2013 fiscal year, the foundation awarded $1,920,240 in grants to help meet the needs of Adirondack region communities and once again received accreditation from the Community Foundations National Standards Board, meeting the nationÍ s highest philanthropic standards for operational quality, integrity and accountability.
