shawn@denpubs.com MORRISONVILLE Ñ Congressional Candidate Aaron Woolf took to the stump in Morrisonville this week, calling for his GOP challenger to task for her stance on Social Security reform. At a podium set up near the ongoing bridge construction project on Route 22 in Morrisonville, Woolf (D) said that Elise Stefanik (R) has been trying to run from her record on Social Security reform since she entered the race. Flanked by a former construction worker and a former pharmacist Woolf, sporting a new looking blue Carhartt jacket, said that StefanikÕ s plan CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

“On Home Ground” with three local veterans By Shawn Ryan PLATTSBURGH Ñ For many soldiers, war doesnÕ t end just because your plane has touched down on home ground. A new documentary by Mountain Lake PBS explores the lives of three North Country soldiers who have returned from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and takes watchers on a sometimes intimate look into their lives, their struggles and their healing. ItÕ s part of an initiative by Mountain LakeÕ s parent organization, National Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) to shed more light on our veterans coming back into their communities. For the local PBS affiliate in Plattsburgh, the idea gained immediate traction, and the station was eager to find veterans, learn and tell their stories. “We had to develop a sense of trust because this film is fairly intimate,Ó said producer and director Tomeka Weatherspoon. Ò I learned that there can be a disconnect between a veteran and their community. We tried to examine that a little bit, just step into their shoes and examine what theyÕ re feeling.Ó Weatherspoon and her small crew crisscrossed the Champlain Photo by Shawn Ryan

Stefanik tours North Country farm and orchard Supports limited visas for farm workers By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com PERU Ñ 21st congressional district candidate Elise Stefanik (R) visited Peru this week to learn about some of the issues affecting agricultural interests in the North Country. Stefanik visited RulfsÕ Orchard, and chatted with patriarch Bob Rulfs while touring the iconic Peru apple orchard. Ò It highlights my continuing dedication to agricultural issues in the North Country,Ó Ste-
fanik said after her tour. Stefanik stated in a media event after that federal overreach was one of the main concerns facing North Country farmers. She specified Environmental Protection Agency regulations and new implementations of the Clean Water Act as being particularly onerous to farmers. Ò We need local control, and less of the federal overreach that has impacted our farmers,Ó she said. IMMIGRATION One issue which Stefanik said has come up repeatedly in her tours of local farms is the issue of immigration, related to undocumented workers who work on North Country farms,
especially dairy farms. “I support three to five year visas for agricultural workers, separate from immigration issues. TheyÕ re absolutely critical, especially for our dairy farmers,Ó she said. Stefanik said she has heard from nearly every dairy farm she has visited that itinerate laborers are vital to the North Country economy. MINIMUM WAGE Before wrapping up a brief question and answer session with local media where she lobbed several barbs at her Democratic congressional challenger Aaron Woolf, Stefanik said that she would back a minimum wage of $10.10, given certain stipulations.
Ò I think $10.10 is what people are focused on right now, and IÕ d support that if it is supported by small businesses. IÕ m open to having a discussion.Ó Of the three people running for the 21st congressional seat, Stefanik said that Woolf is the only one who doesnÕ t pay his workers above the minimum wage. Though Stefanik does not own a business, she considered her parentsÕ labor practices in the statement. She wound her brief media stop up with a stop at RulfsÕ farm stand, where she left with an arm load of items. After leaving RulfsÕ her next campaign stop was at Adirondack Farms also in Peru.
SUNY Student Health Center prepared for various viruses By Teah Dowling
teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Student Health and Counseling Center at SUNY Plattsburgh is working toward a safer environment from viruses such as enterovirus D-68 (EV-D68) and Ebola. Ò ItÕ s good to give awareness and information, but we also donÕ t want to get people too upset or too nervous,Ó said Dr. Kathleen Camelo, director of the Center for Student Health and Psychological Services at SUNY Plattsburgh. Ò We havenÕ t felt the need to put out more information to the students, but we will as we feel the need arises.Ó The health center has been in coordination with the county health department and their health commerce system, through the New York State Department of Health, for more information and advisories in regard to the Ebola virus and EV-D68. Ô EBOLA VIRUSÕ The first Ebola outbreak occurred in Guinea,
Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria in West Africa. Other confirmed cases of Ebola have been reported in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Gabon, South Sudan, Ivory Coast, Uganda, Republic of the Congo (ROC) and South Africa. Ò We do have students that travel, and we have students from the affected countries, so we actually sent out an e-mail, and we looked at all of our students who are traveling abroad, studying abroad and coming from abroad to study on our campus,Ó Camelo said. Ò We looked at all of those affected countries and students that might be from those areas or connected with those areas, and we contacted them, and we made sure they hadnÕ t been in contact with anyone who had symptoms of Ebola.Ó People can get the Ebola virus through direct contact with bodily fluids of a person who is sick with or has died from Ebola consisting of blood, vomit, urine, feces, sweat, semen, saliva or other fluids. They can also get the virus through objects such as needles and medical equipment or by infected animals’ blood, fluids or infected meat.
Ebola can only spread to others after symptoms begin. Symptoms can appear from two to 21 days after exposure consisting of fever, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, weakness, stomach pain, lack of appetite, unexplained bleeding and joint and muscle aches. Ebola only spreads when people are sick. A patient must have symptoms to spread the disease to others. After 21 days, if an exposed person does not develop symptoms, they will not become sick with Ebola. Ò We did not have any reported cases of anyone in contact with Ebola, (but) we should always be aware,Ó Camelo said. Ò We donÕ t know when all of our students travel or not, so we should always talk about or ask patients if they came in with symptoms if they have any travel history.Ó On Oct. 3, the New York State Department of Health said health facilities should still be vigilant and aware of Ebola and should still take travel histories from patients if they become ill. Ô EV-D68 VIRUSÕ EV-D68 can cause mild to severe respiratory
illness. Mild symptoms can include fever, runny nose, sneezing, cough and body and muscle aches. Severe symptoms may include wheezing and difficulty breathing. Since EV-D68 causes respiratory illness, the virus can be found in an infected personÕ s respiratory secretions such as saliva, nasal mucus, or sputum. EV-D68 likely spreads from person to person when an infected person coughs, sneezes or touches a surface touched by others. Ò WeÕ re aware of it,Ó Camelo said. Ò It seems to have more of an affect on adolescents and children, and we do have a population thatÕ s kind of on that borderline, so we are aware and watching for it.Ó In the United States, people are more likely to get infected with enteroviruses in the summer and fall, and cases are likely to decline later in the fall. Infants and children are more likely to get infected with this virus because they donÕ t yet have immunity, or protection, from previous exposures to these viruses. Adults can get infected, but they are more likely to have no symptoms or mild symptoms. To continue reading, visit www.denpubs.com
Chazy man quietly brings Christmas joy to area children Donated bikes number in the thousands By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com CHAZY Ñ Santa has at least one elf we know by name, and he works year Ô round in a small garage in Chazy. Bob Bryson is a retired mechanical engineer. When he retired in 1991, he was far from ready to slow down. With a love of both cycling and fixing things, Bryson went to work, so to speak. His wife Sallianne worked at Kiddie Corner day care at the time, and one of her co-workers was a volunteer with the Christmas Bureau. From her, he got the idea of fixing damaged bicycles, and giving them to children for Christmas. “I like making stuff. I’m a compulsive fixer,” he said. ÒI donÕ t actually ever see the kid or the parent. The reward is the opportunity to do something for somebody else.Ó He picks up bikes from anywhere he can find them, even admitting to dumpster-diving for a frame from time to time. People call him to come pick up old bikes. Almost nothing is worthless; most have at least a part of two that he can salvage. ÒI started with nothing, and now this building
is full of parts. I started picking them up from wherever,Ó he said standing next to a row of bike tires that runs the length of the second floor of his garage. Bike frames hang from walls, buckets litter the floor holding thousands of individual spokes, gears and break levers cover nearly every flat surface in the shop. A separate storage area off premises houses approximately 300 bikes ready to be fixed or cannibalized for parts. ÒWh en you pick them up you never know what youÕ re going to get. Sometimes you get a jewel in there.Ó He says local bike shops Maui North, Viking Ski Shop and Wooden Ski and Wheel have helped him greatly over the years, donating unused parts and sometimes entire bikes. He has even had bike repair tools donated to him over the years. On average, Bryson fixes and donates between 100 and 200 bikes per year. In the 23 years heÕ s been doing this, he estimates heÕ s donated from 2,000 to 2,500 bikes. ÒB ikes I know the kids donÕ t want, I give to the apple pickers. If they bring it down here IÕ ll even fix it for them. I don’t refuse anybody. I give bikes to anybody who needs one.Ó With every bike he gives out, the Christmas Bureau provides a new helmet as well. Even with the amount of work he does each
Bob Bryson in his Chazy garage, which he converted to a bike shop years ago. Most than 2,000 bikes have gone through his shop in 23 years. Photo by Shawn Ryan
day between finding, retrieving and restoring bikes, the frenetic Scotsman still finds time to ride his own bike, also salvaged, every day. ÒI try to ride every day, because I need to.Ó Anyone with a salvageable bike or usable parts can contact Bryson at 846-7087. He will
travel, he says, from the border to about Cadyville to pick up bikes, and will meet people at various locations for farther pickups. ÒPeo ple will call me and IÕ ll go pick them up, because people donÕ t like putting bikes in their cars,Ó he says with an ever-present smile.

Albany shop to serve mastectomy survivors in P’burgh Fitzpatrick Cancer Center fills void left in April By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ When Yankee Medical closed in Plattsburgh this past April, breast cancer survivors in the North Country were left with a dearth of mastectomy apparel suppliers. In fact, it left none. Mastectomy survivors were left in most cases with the option of going to either Burlington or Albany, or shopping on the internet, for their supplies. Officials at the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center have been working since April to bring a new supplier into the area to afford mastectomy patients with both attractive and affective postsurgical garments and prosthetics ever since. On Nov. 5, they will welcome Albany-based specialty company Madame Pirie to the center for the first of their soon to be monthly visits to fill this void. Patti Johnson, Oncology Care Coordinator at the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center, couldnÕ t be happier with the new pairing. Ò A great deal of our patients are older and didnÕ t want to spend the day in Burlington,Ó she said. Ò We started to look around and try to meet their needs.Ó Representatives from Madame Pirie will be scheduling patients all day Nov. 5, and plan to spend enough time with each patient to insure an appropriate fit of their garments and prosthetics, as well as taking care of any billing and
insurance issues. Ò They were the one place in Albany who was very excited to come up and meet our patientsÕ needs. Plus theyÕ re a lingerie shopÉ so they know pretty,Ó Johnson said. But to Johnson, proper fitting of post-mastectomy apparel is much more than an issue of vanity. Women who are not properly fit for breast prosthetics and apparel can develop shoulder and back issues, plus profound selfesteem issues. Johnson stresses that women should be fitted every two to three years for bras and apparel, due to natural changes in body shape. Ò There are physical reasons why people should have mastectomy forms, not just for shape. ItÕ s more than just sticking a sock in your bra. ThereÕ s a reason why people should get a good form.Ó Most insurance plans, she says, will pay for breast prosthetics and bras as well. A fitting with Pirie is by appointment only, and Johnson is urging patients to contact her office as early as possible to schedule a time. She can be reached at 562-7148. In 2013, the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center diagnosed 95 new cases of breast cancer. Roughly 20 percent of those women underwent mastectomies. For anyone who misses the November 5 fitting, Pirie will return to the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center monthly. Ò In a society that places so much emphasis on hair and breasts, it makes a difference,Ó she said. Ò People should have a choice.Ó

Race for the 21st
Funiciello, Stefanik and Woolf speak out on the issues ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Voters will go to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 4 to select a replacement for outgoing Congressman Bill Owens, the federal representative for New YorkÕ s 21st Congressional District. Owens, a Democrat from Plattsburgh, is retiring in January after two full terms. Three candidates are running to replace him: Republican Elise Stefanik, of Willsboro, Democrat Aaron Woolf, of Elizabethtown, and Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello, of Glens Falls. We asked each candidate a set of identical questions covering issues that we felt would be of interest to our readers, including how they view public service, if they would vote along partisan lines if elected and how their proposed policies would directly impact residents of the district. The hour-long interviews were conducted in-person with our editorial board, which included Publisher Dan Alexander, Managing Editor John Gereau, Southern Bureau Chief Keith Lobdell and Reporter Pete DeMola. The following transcripts have been edited and condensed.
Question: What do you see as the major issues you personally can address and have any impact on resolving?
Matt Funiciello (G)
Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)
Aaron Woolf (D,W)
Answer: Ò My platform: ending corporate welfare, single-payer health care and raising the minimum wage,Ó said Funiciello, of Glens Falls. Funiciello said he wants to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. He dismissed the argument that doubling the wage of fast food workers, to name one cohort, would also double prices, citing Sweden as an example, where the hike resulted in only nominal bumps in consumer prices. Ò IÕ d be willing to pay an extra 60 cents [per hamburger] so my neighbor can make a living,Ó he said.
Answer: Ò As I travel throughout the district, the number one issue I hear about is jobs and the economy, and specifically, how to encourage rural economic development in not just one portion of the district, but in the entirety of the 21st District.Ó The candidate discussed a number of federal level proposals and how to increase the focus on ways to support local economic growth. At the federal level, Stefanik said the tax burdens on small businesses, middle class families and small farms are too high. Ò We need to simplify tax code: throw it out and start from scratch.Ó
Answer: Ò The major issues are the issues in the district that IÕ m hearing on the campaign trail: infrastructure, jobs and small business,Ó said Woolf. Ò We should want politicians that listen. I’m not running to be a historic figure, but someone to represent the 21st.Ó Citing firms like Corning, General Electric and IBM, the documentary filmmaker said New York has been the incubator for some of the countryÕ s greatest businesses. Cutting edge rural infrastructure, he said, should be a longterm investment to help grow the economy.
Question: As a congressman do you really have control over job creation in the private sector? And if so, specifically how?
Matt Funiciello (G)
Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)
Aaron Woolf (D,W)
Answer: Funiciello said jobs are often made part of the Congressional resume, like when incumbent Congressman Bill Owens attracted subway car manufacturer Bombardier to Plattsburgh. ÒB ut that could have been done as a private person,Ó said the candidate. ÒJ ob creation should be the last thing done in Congress.Ó Funiciello said the Green Party is focused on redirecting corporate welfare money, including the funds used to prop up the military and prison industrial complexes, into building infrastructure.
Answer: Ò My long answer early on addresses that,Ó the candidate laughed. Ò But I do think there are immediate steps that can be taken at the federal level to roll back some of the anti-job regulation from this administration to make healthcare more affordable for small businesses and individuals that will help spur job growth.Ó Repealing the medical device tax will have an immediate impact on the district, she said. Ò I think immediately, IÕ ll be able to show the leadership to create jobs.Ó
Answer: Ò Yes, absolutely. I would work to rebuild trust in government and bring that North Country can-do-ism to Washington.Ó Woolf said he had a long track record of producing concrete results in the North Country, including the Go Digital or Go Dark campaign that he co-founded. The Regional Economic CouncilÕ s Common Ground Alliance also helped Woolf better understand mechanicians for bipartisan action. In Washington, Woolf said he would do the same thing. Ò The stakes are really high,Ó he said.
Question: Class warfare, the war on women, racial injustices, immigration — Isn’t there a better way to appeal to your base without putting people into classes and pitting them against one another?
Matt Funiciello (G)
Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)
Aaron Woolf (D,W)
Answer: Ò If I wasnÕ t ardently running as working class representative, then IÕ d say yes,Ó said Funiciello. Ò But I have to plead guilty: class warfare is a good thing.Ó Funiciello cited the financial backing of his opponents and their personal assets. Ò It is possible to be a millionaire with honesty,Ó he said. Ò But what about ten million?Ó Ninety percent of the American population arenÕ t millionaires, said Funiciello. As such, Congress needs voices who can represent the working class.
Answer: Ò I do think there is a better way to appeal not only to the base, but to all voters. People are getting tired of the political process; theyÕ re tired of the negativity and theyÕ re tired of the identity politics.Ó The candidate said it was important for this district, in particular, to be an independent voice and accessible to the voters. Stefanik said some of best ideas from the campaign trail have been suggestions from voters in the district, people like business owners, young single moms and students. The process, she said, has been a good way to overcome much of the negative identity politics.
Answer: Ò I think politicians far too often exploit those kinds of rhetoric,Ó said Woolf. While the candidate called the War on Women idea a tagline and a marketing catchphrase, he said he agreed with the substance underlying the terminology. Ò I think IÕ m a much stronger candidate on womenÕ s issue than my female opponent,Ó said Woolf. Ò Elise Stefanik was against Paycheck Fairness before she was for it. As the 2012 Policy Director for the Republican Party Platform, she opposed the partyÕ s platform on abortion. She comes from a very radical Republicanism that is not in line with voters in district.Ó
Question: What can you do to bring the debt under control when no elected official is willing to address the tough issues that affect their voting base?
Matt Funiciello (G)
Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)
Answer: Ò I am a capitalist. We all suffer together. The national debt is $17 trillion. One of the major ways to [bring the debt under control] is to establish a centralized bank to control and isolate our own economic expenditures as a country.Ó The North American Free Trade Agreement, said the candidate, was in essence, a Republican measure passed by centrist Democrats in order to give the agreement a bipartisan seal. In the district, he said, a tough choice would be determining the future of Fort Drum. Funiciello said he would focus on keeping 10,000 people employed, not investing in large-scale defense systems that does little to build long-term sustainability.
Answer: Ò The debt is a generational issue and I have talked about that more than any other candidate. I think I have a voice to do that because my generation will be inheriting the debt and other generations will be left with this.Ó Stefanik is 30. Her Democratic opponent, Aaron Woolf, is 50 while Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello is 46. The average child born today is born into $40,000 of debt, she noted. Ò This president has racked up more debt that presidents Reagan to Washington combined.Ó If working families should have to balance their budgets, said the candidate, then so should Congress.
Aaron Woolf (D,W) Answer: Ò
We have to bring the debt under control. This is no joke. When you take debt and put it with the dysfunction in Congress, you get the type of scenario where the US fails to be the US we want it to be. Our spending is not growing. We need to grow the economy and address debt. My opponent talks about the failed policies of [President] Obama, but unemployment has just come down to 5.9 percent. We need to grow the economy. Our roads and bridges are falling apart. My ways of raising revenue donÕ t contribute to the debt,Ó the candidate said.
Question: What do you see as the best and the worst elements of the Affordable Care Act and how can we move forward without wasting the efforts of the past six years?
Matt Funiciello (G)
Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)
Aaron Woolf (D,W)
Answer: At its worst, said the candidate, the ACA is unconstitutional. Ò ItÕ s an insurance company bailout,Ó he said. The solution is enacting single-payer health care by passing HR-676, the Expanded & Improved Medicare For All Act that would reduce the age of Medicare to zero. The ACA would then be rendered as unnecessary because all Americans will then have health care, explained Funiciello. Funiciello said he agreed with the provision of the ACA that prohibited insurers from turning down applicants with pre-existing conditions.
Answer: The two worst aspects, said the candidate, are the aforementioned medical device tax, something she said has led to direct job losses, and the employer mandate, a measure that Stefanik said has encouraged small businesses to keep their staffs under 50 employees. A third element, said Stefanik, was that small businesses are going through cancellations. Ò We have 16 employees in our business,Ó she said. Ò You donÕ t have the human resources and capability as larger companies have.Ó One positive was that young people have been allowed to stay on their parentsÕ plans up until a higher age.
Answer: The ACA covers 38,000 kids in the district who could have been turned down for pre-existing conditions, said Woolf. Overall, it covers 23 percent of residents in district, a clear expansion of coverage for people who never would have been covered before. “I’m definitely not in favor of repeal,” he said. Woolf said the legislation is also bringing down costs, citing that health care costs are now rising lower than the rate of inflation. On the flipside, Woolf said he didn’t like government intrusion and the medical device tax, something he said punishes success.
Question: Where do you stand on term limits?
Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)
Aaron Woolf (D,W)
I support term limits. I would vote in favor of term limits and I have publicly said that if IÕ m lucky enough to win the support of this district, not just this time, but multiple times, IÕ ve term-limited myself to ten years.Ó
Answer: Woolf said there was no magic wand to rid DC of its cronyism and it was difficult to discuss limits without also discussing the seniority system that sees committee chairs and other influential positions being awarded to longtime members of Congress.
Matt Funiciello (G) Answer:
The candidate said if his bid was successful, it would be the first time in recent history that third-party candidate would be elected. Ò This is public service and it shouldnÕ t be like winning the lottery,Ó he said in regards to term limits. CONTINUED ON PAGE XX

Race for the 21st Question: Is getting this job about you or about the country? And if about the country, then why do you need health care and a pension in order to serve?
Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)
Aaron Woolf (D,W)
Ò This is about this district. If you see the amount of young people that are leaving this district, my demographic is leaving in historic numbers. ItÕ s gotten harder for [small businesses] to grow because of the challenges that small businesses face. Instead of growing, itÕ s gotten harder for them to grow due to government overreach.Ó Stefanik said she believed Congress needed to live by the same laws as the average person and should not get subsidies for their health care coverage.
Answer: ÒK nowing what I know now, I donÕ t think anyone would put themselves through this process,Ó l aughed Woolf. The candidate said he loved this part of the world more than any other and was fortunate enough to have found success in filmmaking, a field that eludes most. He said he was dismayed when Congressman Bill Owen announced his retirement last January. ÒWh oÕ s going to run for that seat?Ó recalled Woolf, citing what he said was OwensÕ Òt houghtful and caringÓ service to the district.
Matt Funiciello (G) Answer: Ò I donÕ t need health care to serve and I will not accept insurance until my workers have it,Ó said Funiciello. The salary, he said, would be necessary because he makes $40,000 per year and has no retirement or savings that would fund his travels back and forth from Washington as well as a residence. On gold-plated benefits, Funiciello said while members of Congress are overpaid, he would rather withhold judgement before making Ò bold declarative statements.Ó
Answer:
Question: What can you do in Washington to get Congress focused on the major issues facing the country instead of political grandstanding for the benefit of your party?
Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)
Aaron Woolf (D,W)
Ò I think this president has been incredibly partisan, including during the past few months as weÕ ve headed into this election cycle. I think itÕ s really important by day one of this next congress, thereÕ s a commitment to tackle these big issues, whether itÕ s tax reform or reigning in our spending. And I believe the more voices we have in Washington having that type of accountability will be really important.Ó The candidate also said she would Ò driveÓ legislation. Ò If I earn the support of this district, I do not aspire to be a backbencher.Ó
Answer: Woolf cited an anecdote from King Corn, his 2007 documentary film that sought to address the role of federal corn subsidies in American society. “I succeeded in my career because I could find human story to shine light on policymaking,Ó he said. “I think my ability to find North Country stories will be a persuasive tool in Congress. To my knowledge, thereÕ s never been documentary filmmaker elected to Congress.”
Matt Funiciello (G) Answer:
Funiciello said the question of being a Democrat or Republican isn’t as relevant as the corporate influence behind both political parties. The candidate cited OwensÕ previous comments on the dysfunction in Washington that prohibited meaningful change, one of the factors underpinning his retirement. Freshman representatives, said Funiciello, have little power to determine legislation that would benefit their constituents and become backbenchers who are trotted out for floor votes.
Answer:
Congressman Owens proved he was willing to vote his conscience by crossing party lines on 35 percent of his votes. Would you be willing to do the same?
Matt Funiciello (G)

Ò ItÕ s quite easy for me to cross party lines because there are no lines,Ó said Funiciello. He cited the SAFE Act as one example of how he broke with his party. Ò I grew up with a .22. I love guns. These are not things urban Greens understand.Ó
Answer: Ò I would be and have demonstrated that over the course of the campaign,Ó said Stefanik. The candidate said there are several key areas, including agricultural and northern border issues, that are inherently partisan, while other areas, including armed services issues, would require working with other members of the stateÕ s delegation.
Answer: Ò I will vote for best legislation for this part of the country. I donÕ t care if it originates with the Democrats, Republicans or a martian.Ó

Nonprofits: Should they pay their fair share? North Country Community Papers alive and doing well
N
onprofit organizations abound throughout the North Country. They provide services like lobbying for environmental protection and fostering artistic appreciation. They promote recreation and educate our citizens. While their missions are diverse, most share a common collective strand. They do not pay property taxes on the real estate and the buildings they own. But at the same time, they impose a cost on municipalities by consuming public services, like roads, streetlights and ambulances. This doesnÕ t seem fair to the taxpayers in the cash-strapped North Country. In fact, it seems like a legally-sanctioned form of squatting. As budget season falls on towns throughout the Adirondack Park, that large sucking noise you hear is the sound of these organizations vacuuming up services as beleaguered town officials scourge for change in their couch cushions. WeÕ re well aware of the historical background that has led to this antiquated system, that these institutions contribute to societyÕ s general welfare by providing much-needed services for those who cannot provide for themselves. But we think that in many cases, this is subjective. Sure, religious organizations still fall within that category and are sacrosanct in remote communities. So do the myriad of other health and human services providers that fill in the cracks left by governmental absence. Some health care centers and hospitals say they provide a valuable service to the poor and have applied for tax-exempt status. While we question how much of those services are actually being offered to the indigent in lieu of citizens with sweet private insurance packages, they also act as anchors for goodpaying jobs, attracting young professionals who plant roots in the community and enroll their kids in local schools. How about areas like recreation, arts councils and environmental organizations? Should they also be tax-exempt under the auspices that they provide a common good? As proud Adirondackers, we think things like good paying jobs for the lifelong working folks provide a common good, not abstract concepts. Without good jobs, people will continue to flee the region. The tax base will continue to plummet, further kneecapping budget planning by municipal governments that are already rolling back the services they provide to
those of us who do pay taxes. This gradual extinction of our communities was presented in all of its stark ugliness last spring when some schools were openly discussing closing their doors and sending their students elsewhere. Similar discussions will undoubtedly be repeated this coming winter. One moderate solution is asking nonprofits to make escalating annual payments that would eventually rise to a percentage of what they would pay if treated like any other institution, measures similar to the PILOT agreements used to lure in business investment. Some is better than none. This is basic math. We learned this in school. But the way things are going, those arenÕ t likely to exist in the North Country for very much longer. Another option, like the option floated by New Orleans, is tightening the screws on how the tax-exempt status for nonprofits is granted. Since municipalities within the Adirondack Park are automatically handicapped by the mandates that freeze our tax base, an additional layer of bureaucracy that paralyzes economic development, this should be actively discussed. Our small towns need accessible value and revenue to sustain services. Period. Another option is imposing an ˆ la carte approach to services. And lastly, as a nuclear option, we should explore the possibility of closing the tax-exempt door for hobbyists and outsider organizations that only serve a select, insular audience, including those with second homes elsewhere, outsiders dropped in from outside the region. WhatÕ s the landscape of the Adirondack Park going to look like if this warped financial arrangement continues? Towns preserved in amber, playgrounds for the idle rich. We understand money is tight all around and asking nonprofits to cough up more dough may tighten the nooses around the necks of those they serve, resulting in reduced services. But is it fair for nearly 20 percent of the land in Essex County to be tax exempt? ItÕ s time for a discussion. Supreme Court Justice Brandeis said sunlight is the best of disinfectants. As municipalities prepare their budgets, we call for all towns to shine the floodlights on the tax-exempts in their communities to determine if they benefit the community as a whole, or just the chosen few.

Dear style & substance, My problem may seem a bit silly, but I am embarrassed by the way my husband dresses. We have been married for 4 years and he still wears his high school clothes. It should be easy to tell him, but I am worried that it will hurt his feelings. How should I handle this? The first question that comes to mind is this: Has your husband changed the way he dresses since you first met? If so, why does his wardrobe embarrass you now? Did you harbor the secret hope that he would change? Clearly you value him and his feelings, which is a great place to begin this delicate conversation. While this is a seemingly easy to address matter, if not thought through properly, the message you want to send can be delivered in an insulting manner and lead to unnecessary long term tension about wardrobe choices. Taking the time to discern what the problem is, why itÕ s a problem for you and for him, and what a mutually beneficial solution would be, will help you clarify your approach. Prepare for this conversation by taking a secret look at your husband; his job, his interactions with family and friends, his volunteer work and hobbies. Questions you might consider are; what is he hoping to achieve at work, what do others wear in his office, does he meet new people regularly or try new things? If he

is very predictable and Ò comfortableÓ in his life, he may see no reason on his own to make some changes. You may need to set the stage, by encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone and see the need to update his wardrobe. If your husband has specific goals, professional as well as personal, encourage him to dress in a way that will support these goals. We believe that when someone Ô dressesÕ the part, it adds great momentum to actually achieving the part. Very often, young adults are not sure how to dress, so they go with what has worked for them so far, not thinking about how the professional world may be interpreting them in those first and lasting impressions. It is important to also take a look at how you dress and clarify what you are trying to convey to those you work with or spend time with. It can be professional, put-together, sporty, depending on your life style. Do your clothing choices reflect the appropriate roles you hold in life and the roles you are hoping to take on? Are you taken seriously and not a distraction to your start at 11:15 a.m. followed by the remainder of the activities. Thousands of pumpkins will be hidden in hay. All activities are free and open to the public and is particularly geared toward families with children up to 6th grade. Activities will take place regardless of weather and will be moved indoor if necessary. For more information, find them on facebook as Fall Festival & Trunk-Or-Treat, email them at turnpikeevents@gmail. com, or call the church office at 566-8764. Ò The purpose of this event is to introduce more families in our community to our church, not only to see what we have to offer here, but also to experience the Fall festivities in a safe and nurturing environment,Ó said Alicia Sirk, Community Events Director. Ò We encourage families to come and enjoy the day together, and invite their friends.Ó

Once you have reflected on this situation approach a conversation as a topic for you both, as a couple, and what you are trying to achieve in life. Beginning to talk about clothes may be unnatural for you, so begin slowly, kindly and know that this may be a work in progress. If your husband is open to working on his wardrobe, help him define what his style could be, what would feel comfortable to him and work with his personality. Developing a style means that it needs to be suitable and not awkward; fresh pressed button downs, fitted jeans, and great leather shoes/belts are a good place to start. Identify some catalogs that you think will be good role models to emulate. It will give you both the general Ò feel goodÓ direction to take.

Ò WeÕ re living in a great country with really smart people, and we should be able to come up with something better than just working longer,Ó she said. Spencer was joined by Rylan Conroy, a former construction worker who left the trade because of the wear and tear it was taking on his body. Many construction workers much younger than 60, Conroy said, wake up every day in pain. Stefanik, Woolf said, has yet to specify what age she would raise the retirement age to. For his part, Woolf said that keeping Social Security solvent would be one leg of a three-legged stool. Growing the economy, he said, would have more to do with its solvency than raising the retirement age. After his prepared comments, Woolf
was asked by reporters if he stood behind his comments at a recent debate where he accused Stefanik of having a Ò white collar upbringing.Ó Woolf attempted to deflect the question, saying that his intent was to expose Stefanik for lacking a coherent message on Social Security reform, and not caring about working people. He stated that he also favored raising the minimum wage, an issue that he said sets him apart from Stefanik. Ò I think $10.10 is an important step, and then link it to inflation so you donÕ t have a situation where people are working 50 or 60 hours and canÕ t afford to feed their families,Ó he said. After the brief question and answer session, Woolf was off to his next campaign stop. The general election is scheduled for November 4.

Second zombie book to debut at zombie walk MonetteÕ s zombies are not suffering from some unexplained virus that brings the dead back to life. Ò IÕ ve always been bothered by that. A disease canÕ t make dead things come to life. For me it had to be something else; like Ô Night of the Living DeadÕ É Õ The Wrath of God.Õ I just took it from there.Ó Monette was embarking on a career as an illustrator when fate intervened and brought him to the world of novel writing. In graduate school, one professor was so taken with his writing that he suggested he intertwine his writing with his art. In an illustration world where anyone around the globe can be contracted for work, Monette agreed that he needed to incorporate writing in order to make his images stand out. Thus his zombie trilogy was born. With his first book based in a city “very much like Plattsburgh,Ó except in name, his most recent offering brings his main characters through a Fort Drum-like military base to the nationÕ s capital, via a hulking aircraft carrier along the way.

“The Warring Dead” is second in a trilogy By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Next weekend the dead will once again take to the streets of Plattsburgh for the annual Zombie Walk, and for the second year in a row, illustrator and novelist David Monette will be on hand to lend his spin on the chronicle of the walking dead. Monette, who last year unveiled the first illustrated novel in his zombie trilogy, will be releasing Ò The Warring DeadÓ on October 25, while PlattsburghÕ s much heralded zombie walk meanders by outside. Monette will be selling and signing books at 30 City Hall Place in Plattsburgh starting at 7:30 p.m. Writing The Warring Dead was, for Monette, slightly more labor than a labor of love, at least more than his first book, “The Zombie AxiomÓ was. Ò ItÕ s a lot more intimidating than I thought it would be to take an idea from the start to the finish line,” said Monette recently in Plattsburgh. Ò I worried more about how the story was structured and how it progressed than the first book.” Monette, who is an illustrator by calling and a novelist by trade, takes up with the main characters from Ò The Zombie AxiomÓ where they left off, and adds new characters into the mix. In a departure from the current stock-in-trade of zombie lore,
military equipment and tactics was one of the more interesting tasks that Monette undertook in writing Ò The Warring Dead.Ó Ò ItÕ s amazing; the army has a manual for how every machine gun works, how it breaks down,Ó said Monette. Ò That all went into the book.Ó Along with his signing on the 25th, The Warring Dead will be available at amazon. com, Barnes and Noble, the SUNY Plattsburgh bookstore and the Cornerstone Bookstore in Plattsburgh.

punching it in a play later to get within two. Peru returned a Saranac Lake punt to midfield and shortly after Lawyer made it the extra yard to the endzone by hauling in an 11-yard touchdown pass from Altizer. The IndiansÕ extra point was good for a 19-14 lead with 2:09 left in the third. In the fourth the Red Storm had the chance to take the lead as they marched down the field with Fitzgerald passes to Alex Donaldson (48 yards receiving), Marmion and Killian Ryan. A 16-yard pass to Stack, who finished with nine catches for 109 yards, was good for a fourth-down conversion on the drive, but of fourth down Fitzgerald was sacked and fumbled. Saranac Lake picked up the loose ball but Peru took over on downs. It would become the difference maker.
Five players later, Gallo picked up his second touchdown of the game when he took a handoff 76 yards for the touchdown and a two-score lead. Ò I just took the ball to the right and my guys did a great job blocking,Ó said Gallo. Saranac Lake went four-and-out on their next drive and Peru put the final nail in the coffin when Sawyer picked up his second rushing touchdown from 39 yards out. The point-after attempt was no good, but Peru would run out the clock a possession later for the 32-14 win. Ò It feels great because theyÕ re a really great team,Ó said Gallo of the win. Ò They all played hard and theyÕ re going to keep on doing what they do and win games.Ó Ò Today we just got the upper hand.Ó
Chiefs come from behind to win first Saranac River Bowl Late tipped pass, botched punt help Chiefs to 20-12 win over Plattsburgh By Barrie Finnegan
denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC Ñ The Saranac River Bowl will be played each year in remembrance of Justin Christian (2-28-1988 to 11-25-2006). JustinÕ s mother said that a healthy rivalry was started in the family since Justin was a player for Pattsburgh High and both his parents played for Saranac. With both schools located on the Saranac river, the idea for the bowl game was born. Hornets Coach Pat Keleher gave his pregame instructions knowing he had a great chance to get his team a win against the Chiefs. Keleher told his team, Ò If you are going to make a mistake, make it at mach-three with your hair on fire and don’t look back.” His team responded with a hard fought effort, falling just short in a 20-12 loss to the Chiefs on Oct. 11. After the Hornets recovered a fumble on the Saranac 4-yard line, DÕ Andre Lemieux scored on a 2-yard quarterback keeper to open the scoring. Zack Daniels came through with a sack to prevent the two-point conversion, leaving the
score 6-0 with 4:13 left in the first quarter. That would wrap up the scoring for not only the first quarter but the first half as well. The Chiefs showed life by moving the ball well, but turnovers would haunt them all day. A total of five held the Chiefs in check. In the third quarter, Logan Harvey came up with an interception giving Plattsburgh the ball and halting a Chiefs drive. Saranac came through with an interception of their own only to be reversed on a defensive holding call. This proved to be a big factor as shortly after that Lemieux would go 44 yards for another Hornets touchdown. A fumble on the two-point try would leave it 12-0 with 6:53 left in the third. The Chiefs would get their ground game rolling with Hunter Church carrying much of the load. Church scored from three yards out with 1:15 left in the third. The conversion attempt would fail, leaving the score 12-6. The strangest play of the game, as well as the most costly to Plattsburgh, came with only 2:52 left in the game. A Mason Utzler pass bounced off a Hornet defender, popped up into the air and bounced off another before landing in the alert hands of Caiden Goodman for a touchdown. This conversion also would fail, leaving the game tied with Plattsburgh to receive the kickoff.

Previously in the game Logan Harvey was sidelined with a sprained ankle, a costly loss for the Hornets. Harvey was not only a running back, but also a linebacker and punter. With time running out, Plattsburgh had to punt, and the 4-yard net on the play would give
the Chiefs a chance in regulation. George Miller would not let the opportunity slip by and took the ball 15 yards to the end zone. Church added the two-point conversion, giving Saranac the 20-12 win.

Stevens goes for 265 and five touchdowns in win over Moriah Beekmantown wins by 13 By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com MINEVILLE Ñ Justin Stevens continues to keep moving along. The Beekmantown running back ran for 265 yards on 25 carries, scoring four times on the ground and adding one more on the receiving end of an Alex Archer 26-yard pass in a 33-20 win Oct. 10. Ò Everyone keys on Stevens and tonight they had four players over our tight end at times,Ó Beekmantown head coach Jamie Lozier said. Ò But thatÕ s why he is Justin Stevens.Ó Stevens scored on runs of three, 60, 80 and 11. Ò We knew the goal was to try and contain Stevens tonight,Ó Moriah Coach Don Tesar said. Ò You have him blocking and (Chris Rowell) blocking in front of him, we do not have anyone to match up size-wise.Ó Moriah opened the game strong, as Cody Stockwell returned the opening kickoff 30 yards and Adam Jaquish found Jarrod MacDougal on a 23-yard scoring pass for a 6-0 lead. After Stevens tied the game, 6-6, the Eagles were victimized by a pair of turnovers on a Taylor Slattery interception and a Noah Gilbo forced fumble recovered by Hayden Fernandez. Following the fumble, Troy Welch ran in from
38 yards out and Jaquish found Stockwell for a two-point conversion and a 14-6 lead. Moriah looked poised to take control as Billy Larrow intercepted the ball on the next Beekmantown possession, but the team turned the ball over on downs, leading to the Archer-toStevens touchdown pass to tie the score at halftime, 14-14. Stevens scored the opening points of the second half with his 60-yard run in the third quarter before Jaquish found Slattery for a David Tyree-like 48 yard touchdown pass. A two-point conversion try was unsuccessful, and the Vikings found themselves down 21-20. After the teams exchanged possessions, Stevens ran for an 80-yard score. On the ensuing kickoff, Beekmantown was able to recover and Stevens scored his final points five plays later. Ò We have been practicing the play for about four weeks and we saw they were leaning so we tried it,Ó Lozier said. Ò It was a lucky call.Ó Ò It hit and circled around to them so it paid off for them,Ó Tesar said of the kick. Ò It is one we should have recovered.Ó Archer finished the game 4-for-8 with 67 yards. Along with the 26-yard score to Stevens, he hit Mickey Pepper for 16 yards, Nate Handy for 19 and Matt Villa for six. Dylan Peryea ran the ball seven times for 38 yards, while Tyler Myers had four carries for 31
yards and Archer had four runs for 24. Defensively, Rowell had 3.5 tackles for loss, with Villa adding a pair of tackles for loss with a sack, Peryea adding two tackles for loss, Tyler Newman with 1.5 tackles for loss, Steven Sweeney with one and Handy recording and interception. For Moriah, Jaquish finished 14-of-25 for 201 yards, two touchdowns and a pick.

Ticonderoga blasts AuSable Valley for 46-0 Senior Night win
Konner Bruce rushes for 125 yards and two touchdowns as Ticonderoga shuts out AuSable Valley By Akashia Swinton
denpubs@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ausable Valley Patriots fell to the Ticonderoga Sentinels 46-0 in the Friday, Oct. 10 game. The Sentinels completely shut down the PatriotÕ s offense; AuSable Valley quarterback William Coats only completed 5 of 20 passes and leading rushers Brad Pray and Jimmy Kelly totaled 13 and 10 yards respectively. Leading the Sentinel defense was
Chase Dixon with five tackles, Kolby Bradford with three tackles and a fumble recovery as well as Marick Ross and Kaleb Wiktorko with two tackles each. TiconderogaÕ s leading rusher, Konner Bruce, totaled 125 yards and two touchdowns in the SentinelsÕ win. Assisting Bruce was Cody Huestis with 40 yards, Brody Rocque with 33 yards, Parker Granger with 33 yards and a touchdown and Ian Lawrie with 26 yards and a touchdown. Senior quarterback Garrison Hughes had seven pass attempts and completed two, one of them a 13-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Trudeau and the other a 14-yard touchdown pass to Rocque. Hughes also rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown. Ò We did what we needed to do to get the win, but we still need to sharpen up on a few things,Ó Ticon-
deroga Coach Scott Nephew. Nephew looks to generally execute better in their game against the Hornets in Plattsburgh on Oct. 17. The Patriots will face off against the Moriah Vikings the same day, their final regular season home game. FridayÕ s game was the Senior Night for 11 of the Sentinels who will graduate in the spring. It was also the homecoming game for Ticonderoga, and during a halftime presentation, Jared Johnson, Katie Meserve, Adam Porter and Tara Vilardo were inducted in the Ticonderoga High School Sports Hall of Fame. All four inductees were from the Ticonderoga class of 2003 and were pillars of the athletic community during their time at Ticonderoga High School, all earning multiple Varsity letters starting their freshman years.

Patriots win over Chiefs in Senior Night overtime thriller Mady Rondeau scores four goals, including the game-winner in overtime, in victory over Chiefs
time in a week for both teams. AuSable Valley lost to Beekmantown 3-2 in extra time on Oct. 2 and Saranac played Schuylerville to a 0-0 overtime draw on Oct. 4. This time the Patriots would come out the winners. Similar to her second-half goal, Rondeau again converted on a Strong assist to put one past Bedard. However, for the third time in the game, the Chiefs would erase the lead. At 1:54 in the second overtime, Napper scored again, this time on a Gillespie assist. The Patriots, however, wouldnÕ t be denied, and Rondeau closed it out. Ò Hopefully our progress continues,Ó said Bourgeois. Ò A win like last night puts them on a high.Ó
By Andrew Johnstone
andrew@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE Ñ On a cold, windy night under the lights in Clintonville, the Patriots left everything they had on the field in their final home game of the season. Senior captain Mady Rondeau helped her class a thrilling home finish with four goals, two in overtime, to upend secondplace Saranac (9-2-0) on Oct. 8. Ò The girls did a great job,Ó said Patriots Coach Bruce Bourgeois. Ò Mady just exploded.Ó Rondeau took a perfect pass from Dru Gravelle down the left side to go one-on-one toward Chiefs goalie Tina Bedard and drilled in the ball into the net for the final goal. Rondeau had already scored a go-ahead goal in the first overtime, but early in the second SaranacÕ s Kayla Napper tied the game at 4-4. The Patriots responded emphatically, retaking the lead just over a minute later and holding it for the remaining seven. After two consecutive one-point losses to Beekmantown, the Patriots (4-6-1) didnÕ t let another top opponent slip by, even after a 2-1 halftime deficit. Bourgeois said that despite losing twice to the undefeated Eagles, the experience was good for the Patriots. Ò Saranac is a great team,Ó added Bourgeois. Ò Each time we play a great team the girls step up like crazy.Ó AuSable Valley took an early 1-0 lead at the 4:22 mark when Rondeau scored her first goal on a Briana Savage assist, but the
Saranac’s Amy LoTemplio ties the game at 3-3 on her scoring penalty kick. LoTemplio also tallied an assist on a perfect corner kick. Photo by Andrew johnstone
Chiefs would answer. Kayla Napper scored on a Sydney Adolfo assist and later, with less than a minute to play in the half, Summer Gillespie scored with a pretty header off Amy LoTemplioÕ s corner kick to take a one-point lead to the half. In the second, AuSable ValleyÕ s senior captainsÑ Rondeau, Hillary Drake, Meghan Strong and defender Priscilla CoatsÑ upped their play. Fourteen minutes in, Rondeau found the net again, this time taking a well-placed pass from Strong and lifting a high shot over Napper, who stopped 13 shots in the game, to tie it at 2-2. Just over a minute later, Drake got her foot on a loose ball in front of the ChiefsÕ net to put the Patriots ahead by a point. Then, with 22 minutes to play, an AuSable Valley handball in the box earned Saranac a penalty kick. LoTemplio took the shot and sent a fast ball past senior goalie Kendra Niemann for the goal and another tie. Niemann made 12 saves overall. The score would hold until the end of regulation, the second

Lost in a change of seasons T he recent Columbus Day holiday weekend certainly brought out the crowds, as hikers too to the trails, and paddlers packed the ponds. Although the long weekend was likely one of the last to draw big crowds, the looming Big Game Hunting Season As local weather systems grow gradually cooler, and the woods become less crowded, there are a few practical precautions that all outdoor travelers should be aware of. The sun is no longer as warm, nor does it stay as high in the sky as it did just a month ago. Darkness comes more rapidly as the hours of daylight gradually begin to diminish. An easy hike or paddling trip that was so comfortably completed in the middle of July, will not be so easy today. Increasingly, those easy Ô spur of the momentÕ outings will require some elements of pre-planning such deciding what to pack, where to go and where Ô not to goÕ . There should be several issues of concern. The first is a choice of clothing, which is typically based on the expected weather you will likely encounter. However, at this time of year outdoor enthusiasts should also be aware of the color of their garb as well. Saturday, October 18 signals the Opening Day of the Big Game Hunting Season for Muzzleloading enthusiasts. The following weekend, October 25 is the opener of the Regular Big Game, and I expect there will be a lot of hunters in the woods. The local woods for have been slow to shed their Fall foliage so far, and undergrowth remains lush and thick. This is especially evident in areas with plenty of the beech whips and other undergrowth. Earlier in the week, I spent a few days searching a new location to set up a portable tree stand in the familiar woods out back. Although I could see nearly 60 to 70 yards from the elevated stand, it was difficult to find a shooting land more of more than 30 yards while on the forest floor. Such realizations should be paramount to all woodland travelers at this time of the year. While the Ô summer woodsÕ are relatively benign and friendly, the autumn woods can be far more dangerous. For most travelers, the realization that they are lost is typically represented by a tangible tingle or a brief ping in the pit of their stomach as they come to the realization that they are not be exactly where they thought they were.
There is nothing a person can do to prepare for the reality of being lost, or to understand the emotional aspect of becoming lost. Lost is both a state of mind and manner, it is defined as being unable to find one’s way or ascertain oneÕ s whereabouts which results in being confused, bewildered, or helpless. Plenty of adjectives have been used to describe the process, but until the process has been experienced, there is simply no way to comprehend the complexity of the moment until a person realizes they are truly lost. A lot of terms have been used to describe the process such as turned around and twisted, misplaced, mislaid, missing, gone, nowhere to be found, gone astray, vanished, absent, disoriented, confused, bewildered, stumped, puzzled, perplexed, mystified, baffled, flummoxed, forlorn, alone, aimless and finally helpless. A lot of outdoor travelers have been turned around, twisted of bewildered on at least one occasion, and according to an old Forest Ranger, anyone who claims Ò theyÕ ve never been lost are either liars or theyÕ ve never been very deep in the woods.Ó Many have claimed the Adirondack region is not so vast, that a man canÕ t easily walk out to a road in a dayÕ s travel. ItÕ s likely the distance estimate for intersecting a road is accurate, since there are only a few locations in the Park that are more than eight miles removed from a road. However, the presumption does not consider the fact that it’s very difficult for a traveler to maintain a straight line for eight miles, especially in the deep woods. We travel to such wild, forbidding places in an attempt to discover the mystery of the woods, and recover a piece of our primitive selves. By accepting the challenge of traveling through tough terrain, we have an opportunity to test our abilities to cope with adversity and strengthen our resolve. The prospect of becoming lost has long been a key element in the passionate pursuit of adventure travel. If there were no probabilities of risk and challenge, it wouldnÕ t be so thrilling, or so revitalizing. Some people are enlivened by the prospect
Peru 87, AuSable Valley 83 CLINTONVILLE Ñ The Indians edged out the Patriots in their closely-matched road swim meet on Oct. 10. Cydney Bond and Madison McBride led the Indians with a series of strong finishes. Bond finished first in the 100-yard breaststroke and second in the 500-yard freestyle. McBride won the 100-yard freestyle and picked up a secondplace finish in the 200-yard freestyle. McBride and Bond were joined by Mikayla Fountain and Mya Marblin-Bowlby to win the 200-yard freestyle relay. MarblinBowlby added a win in the 200-yard IM. The Patriots got strong performances from Lydia Brown, Emily McCormick and Emily Wood. Brown won the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard butterfly, McCormick took first in the 200-yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle and Wood finished first in the 100-yard backstroke. AuSable Valley also picked up two relay wins in the 400-yard freestyle and 200-yard medley. Brown, McCormick and Wood each swam on both winning teams. Madison Bedard joined the three in the 400-yard freestyle win while Megan Zmijewski was part of the 200-yard medley win.
of danger. Sadly, in this age of Google Earth, cell phones and a host of similar handheld GPS devices, the ability to find one’s way with a simple map and compass has largely become a lost art. TodayÕ s travelers have become overly reliant on electronics and have come to believe help is usually just a phone call away. However, in many areas including the Adirondacks, where cell phone reception is poor or not available at all; their fail-proof, safety plug offers no safe outlet. The following fact sheet was created by American Hiking Society www.AmericanHiking.org. It offers a very useful list of items that all woodland wanderers should carry in their pack at all times. 1. MAP AND COMPASS/GPS A map not only tells you where you are and how far you have to go, it can help you find campsites, water, and an emergency exit route in case of an accident. A compass can help you find your way through unfamiliar terrain-especially in bad weather where you canÕ t see the landmarks. Either one without the other is significantly less. While GPS units are extremely useful, always carry a map and compass as a backup and know how to use them. 2. WHISTLE. Carry a whistle with exceptional loudness to be used to aid in rescue. 3. EXTRA WATER. Without enough water, your bodyÕ s muscles and organs simply canÕ t perform as well. Too little water consumed will not only make you thirsty, but susceptible to hypothermia and cramps. 4. EXTRA FOOD. Any number of things could keep you out longer than expected: a lengthy detour, getting lost, enjoying time by a stream, an injury, or difficult terrain. Extra food will help keep up energy and morale. 5. RAIN GEAR AND EXTRA CLOTHING. Because the weatherman is not always right, dressing in layers permits you to adjust to changing weather and activity levels. Two rules: avoid cotton (it keeps moisture close to your skin) and always carry a hat. 6. FIRESTARTER, MATCHES and a Lighter. The warmth of a fire and a hot drink can help prevent hypothermia. Fires are a great way to signal for help if you get lost. 7. FIRST AID KIT. Prepackaged first aid kits for hikers are available at any outfitter. Increase your first aid skills by taking a class with the American Red Cross. Wilderness First Aid classes are also offered by many hiking organizations. 8. KNIFE OR MULTI-PURPOSE TOOL. These enable you to cut strips of cloth into bandages, remove splinters, fix broken eyeglasses, and perform a whole host of repairs on malfunctioning gear. 9. FLASHLIGHT AND EXTRA BATTERIES. You will need a light to help you find your way in the dark and, if necessary, signal for help. 10. SPACE BLANKET This small, portable device is useful for warmth, shelter and signaling Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.
