Paul Smith’s President announces retirement PAUL SMITHS „ Paul SmithÍ s College President John W. Mills announced Monday that he will retire on June 30, after serving in the office for more than a decade. ñ This is the best job I ever had,î said Mills, 66, who has been president since 2004. ñ IÍ m making this decision, though, at a time when higher education is facing great change. This is an opportune moment for a new leader to help Paul SmithÍ s execute that transition.î E. Phillip Saunders, chairman of the collegeÍ s board of trustees, applauded Mills upon his retirement. ñ I want to thank John for his 13 years of service to Paul SmithÍ s College, and what will be 10 and a half years as president,î Saunders said. ñ He has done an outstanding job of leading the college, and serving as a community leader. His decision to retire is a disappointment to us, but an opportunity as well. We are initiating a search for a leader who can take JohnÍ s successes and the collegeÍ s opportunities into the future.î Since Mills joined Paul SmithÍ s in 2000, as vice president for academic affairs, he has helped usher the college through a period of rapid transformation. He helped ensure

the success of Paul SmithÍ s transition from a two- to a four-year institution, oversaw some of the largest enrollments on campus since the early 1980s, and drove award-winning programs to strengthen academic support for students who might have dropped out of college without them. The collegeÍ s Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI) has become a leading voice for the protection of this regionÍ s ecological assets. The campus itself also experienced a remarkable transformation under MillsÍ leadership. The Joan Weill Student Center, which opened in 2006, has become the center of student life. Two LEED-certified buildings, the Countess Alicia SpauldingPaolozzi Environmental Science and Education Center and the Overlook Hall residence hall, have been built.

SARANAC LAKE „ Bob Warren and Joy Mackenzie will perform at BluSeed Studios Saturday, Nov. 16, at 7:30 p.m. Warren and Mackenzie share a love for singing. Bob is from the mountains of New York; Joy, from the mountains of Northern California. The strength of their musical partnership rises from the diversity of their individual experience, and grows in the union of their voices. Bob’s music reflects a poetic artistry that is both articulate and evocative. With his roots in the folk troubadour tradition, BobÍ s writing is surprisingly diverse. From musicals to rock and everything in between, BobÍ s music shares his humor, wit, and heart. The songs address a wide range of topics: one, a portrait of The Battenkill (the river that flows through his town), another, an adrenaline rush of a song about his former noisy neighbors, yet another written for the AARP crowd. Social commentary about the peace movement, born again philosophy, and the ongoing debate following the shooting in Newtown, CT also play a role in BobÍ s writing. Then, there are the catchy, soulful tunes that just feel good like a summerÍ s day at the beach! Music is a way of life for MacKenzie.

Joy Mackenzie and Bob Warren She sings whenever anyone will let her. 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. Warren and Mackenzie perform as a

duo and as part of the larger, Bob Warren Band. Their singing has placed them in front of appreciative audiences on various stages including live radio, theaters, clubs, and house concerts. Admission is $15 or $12 for BluSeed members.

KCS forensics team to perform 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 co-

medic 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 fam-

ily 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 en-

vironment 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.

Include the next generation in Veterans Day

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. „

Public education alliance to discuss new school standards By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH „ A group of concerned citizens are coming together Nov. 14 to discuss the ñ Race to the Topî school initiative and itÍ s ñ Common Core Curriculumî standard, and hope to be able to impact the dialog of this growingly fractious issue. ñ WeÍ re getting together to share experiences and think about what we can do on behalf of the kids, because itÍ s the kids...weÍ re concerned about whatÍ s happening for the kids in the schools,î said Doug Selwyn, a SUNY Plattsburgh professor and one of the organizers of the event. ñ We donÍ t want it to be just an ñ ainÍ t it awfulî sessionƒ for them to air some of that, but the focus is also going to be on what can we do, why is this happening, try to understand whatÍ s happening.î Race to the Top is a $4.35 billion United States Department of Education initiative which incentivises states to participate, and requires schools to satisfy certain educational landmarks, such as performance-based standards for teachers and principals, complying with Common Core standards, turning around the lowest-performing schools and building data systems. In the first wave of testing under the Common Core standards, released this past fall, New York schools state-wide performed much worse than they had on previous standardized tests. ñ Race to the Top was sold to us as a way to get more money to schools and districts

that desperately need funds. As it turns out, the requirements of Race to the Top cost way more than the schools are receiving, so they are actually losing money at a time when they are already receiving less from the states. They are having to end programs and lay off people so that they can do more testing,î said Selwyn. The Common Core, according to Selwyn, was created under the auspices of the National GovernorsÍ Association, and was financed primarily by Bill Gates, other billionaires and publishing companies; people, he cites, who do not have a background in education. The standardized testing of Race to the Top is one component which has drawn the most fire from critics, as was true of its predecessor, No Child Left Behind. Teachers often bristle at standardized testing, and point to research that shows that standardized tests are not good determinants of future success. For Selwyn, one of the most important things that can come from this meeting, the third of its kind since summer, is an opening up of dialog about Race to the Top. ñ One of the things that makes it very frustrating, very difficult during these times is that teachers and administrators are basically ordered not to say anything; not to talk about this, which makes it really difficult to have a clear picture of whatÍ s happening. So you donÍ t hear anything from teachers about what theyÍ re feeling, because if they speak out theyÍ re disciplined,î he said. Assemblywoman Janet Duprey will give the keynote speech at the AllianceÍ s forum. It

A small crowd attended the North Country Alliance for Public Education forum in AuSable Valley this past June. Organizers are hoping for an even larger turnout for their Nov. 14 forum being held at Plattsburgh State. will be held at Yokum Hall, room 200, on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus from 6:30 to 9 p.m. The AllianceÍ s meeting will precede a visit to the North Country by New York State Education Commissioner John King. King will be speaking at a panel discussion at Mountain Lake PBS Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. to discuss Common Core. According to Tim Butler, a fifth grade teacher and co-organizer of the North Country Alliance for Public Education, King was supposed to speak across the state at public

forums, but the first forum he spoke at became so heated that it was decided he would instead speak in more controlled settings. In a news release King said that he wants ñ a more respectful, direct and constructive dialog with parents. More and smaller discussions will make sure there is a real opportunity for parents to be heard.î Those who wish to attend the forum are asked to contact www.mountainlake.org/forum to attempt to secure a seat.

Honor Flight a moving day for veteran Clayton Wray

By Shawn Ryan

sentation, and by the whole day in Washington. ñ How can you go to sleep,î said Clayton, remembering the night he returned. ñ It was a wonderful experience. It was the most perfect day IÍ ve ever had with the military.î He was quick to add, though, that he was up for 7:30 mass the next morning. Wray will soon be returning to his home in Arizona, despising the cold of the North Country winter. With him he will bring the memories of that special day, as well as the long overdue appreciation of a grateful nation, which is what Honor Flight is all about.

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH „ ItÍ s not often you get to meet a real life action hero, but thatÍ s the best way to describe 90-yearold Clayton Wray. Just donÍ t try to tell him that. Wray was one of the World War II veterans who attended the most recent Honor Flight to Washington D.C. He is also a Silver Star recipient for his service with the 501st parachute infantry regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. Among his four campaigns in the European Theater, Wray was one of the famous ñ Battling Bastards of Bastogne,î a small contingent of American forces that held the small Belgian town of Bastogne against overwhelming German forces during the Battle of the Bulge. That battle may well have saved the war on the Western front. ñ This was after we had just got back from Holland. We werenÍ t back two weeks when they broke through up in the Ardennes,î said Wray. ñ We were going up these logging roads (towards Bastogne), and we didnÍ t have nothingƒ didnÍ t have ammunition, we didnÍ t even have (winter) clothes.î He tells of ñ stealingî ammunition and clothes from retreating American MPs they passed on those logging roads.

Left: World War II, 101st Airborne veteran Clayton Wray (left) with his son Clayton “Rob” Wray, shortly after Clayton returned from a North Country Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C. Photo by Shawn Ryan

Wray was an Army medic. He was awarded the Silver Star for repeatedly putting himself in enemy fire to attend to wounded comrades in Bastogne, ultimately saving the lives of numerous soldiers. ñ We had a job to do and we did it, and thatÍ s all,î said Wray of the battle. ñ We had a job to do and we did it.î

When Wray was chosen to attend the Honor Flight, WrayÍ s son Clayton ñ Robî Wray said Honor Flight director Dan Kaifetz secretly inquired of RobÍ s sister if Clayton was planning to wear his Silver Star to Washington. ñ She said ï well he canÍ t, he put his Silver Star in my brother Í s casket when my

brother came back from VietnamÍ ,î Rob said. Kaifetz immediately began to work behind the scenes to put things right and have his medal re-issued, but the military will not replace a Silver Star. ItÍ s only issued once. At the World War II Monument, Kaifietz called Wray out in front of the group of veterans. He read from his

Silver Star citation, and explained why Wray wasnÍ t wearing his Silver Star. He then presented him with a medallion of recognition with a silver star on it to replace his Silver Star, and a pin for his hat. Rob said that when his father returned at 11 p.m., after getting up at 4:30 a.m., he was still ñ jackedî by the pre-

Peer to peer lending will put you in touch with someone who wants to buy what you have or sell you what they have.

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 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.

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

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. A DTaP booster is given at 4 through 6 years of age. Because protection from DTaP fades over time, CDC recommends another dose for adolescents

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.” 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.

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. It was a very emotional award for recognizing not only the present but everyone that has made this a part of Wadhams history, and this has quite a history.î Brant said she has a collection of past Strawberry Festival programs and pictures. ñ This event started as something that was held at the different farms back in 1866,î Brant said. ñ I had a program that advertised the strawberry shortcake for 15 cents a dish.î The award was presented to members of the festival committee Oct. 13 by Gibbs, who heads the Adirondack History Center Museum in Elizabethtown. The event was held at the Best Western University Inn, Canton. Other award winners included Leon Boyea, an inductee of the North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame; and the Gunnison Memorial Chapel Bell Ringers of St. Lawrence University. The 2014 Wadhams UCC Strawberry Festival will be held Sunday, June 15.

(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 Unfortunately, someone may not even know they have whooping cough and unknowingly spread the disease to others, including babies, who are not yet immunized. We encourage people be sure they are up to date on their immunizations to protect themselves and others.î To ask if pertussis vaccine is right for you or someone in your family, contact your doctor or speak with a public health nurse at 873-3500.

Adirondack Community Trust renamed the 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 foundationÍ 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 FoundationÍ 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 cofounded 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 stew-

ardship 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. In the coming weeks, Adirondack Foundation will unveil Adirondack Gives, a new crowdfunding website for Adirondack re-

gion nonprofits. ñ We want to make giving easy and accessible in a way that makes a positive impact on the communities we serve,î Brooks said. ñ Adirondack Foundation is a convener, a strategic partner and a catalyst for change.î For more information, visit generousact. org or call 523-9904.

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 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 elimi-

nated 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. ñ I am proud of the town of JayÍ 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 Í s Office and came through with flying colors.î

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 WendyÍ 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 football player.

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.

The outdoor gym class

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

www.valleynewsadk.com

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.
