Clarkson kids tackle 46 for suicide prevention

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID Ñ A pair of Clarkson grads launched their attempt to scale the 46 High Peaks in a single week on Monday, Sept. 8 in a bid to raise awareness for suicide prevention.

Catherine Zarnofsky and Kolby Ziemendorf, both 22, likened the effort to a metaphor for those struggling with depression. Ò Between every mountain, thereÕ s a valley,Ó said Zarnofsky. Ò Even in the lowest valley, itÕ s hard to see the trail to the summit. But if you go through the turmoil, there is always accomplishment.Ó Zarnofsky and Kolby Ziemendorf spoke to the Valley News the day after Robin WilliamsÕ suicide last month. Ò He was somebody who everyone grew up with, with Mr. Doubtfire and all CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Clarkson students Kolby Zeimendorf and Catherine Zamovsky launched a bid to scale all 46 high peaks on Monday, Sept. 8 as part of National Suicide Prevention Week.

KEENE Ñ Eight major bridges ferry vehicles and pedestrians over the waters trickling down from the mountains into the rivers that flow throughout this town.

All of them need to be replaced.

But what remains unclear is the complex formula that will allow safe transport throughout the region while ensuring local businesses, most of whom depend on the fat months to get them through the lean, stay solvent.

At an Essex County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 2, Department of Transportation Regional Director Sam Zhou briefed lawmakers on the $14 million project, the funding of which remains unapproved by FEMA. Ò When it becomes available, weÕ ll be able to hit the ground running immediately,Ó he said.

Zhou said his office aims to continue to have a dialogue with local officials before finalizing contract options, a milestone that is expected to be handed down this spring. Ò Our designers will conduct outreach with town supervisors and constituents,Ó he said.

Route 73 is a main thoroughfare from Keene to Lake Placid. Many residents travel the stretch several times per day, said Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee. Ò ItÕ s a main artery,Ó he told Zhou. Ò ItÕ d be devastating if all were replaced at the same time, but we know the state will work with diligence.Ó Ferebee thanked Zhou for considering the ingress and egress of East Branch Bridge, the fork that splits the road to Lake Placid and Jay.

CFES kids dish on summer vacays ESSEX Ñ As students go back to school with stories about what they did over the summer break, nine students from the Adirondacks will return with much more than a story. This summer, they joined 90 other students from New York City and Florida to take part in the College Explore program run by College For Every Student. CFES employs three core practices Ñ Mentoring, Leadership Through Service, and Pathways to College Ñ to help underserved students get to and through college, and ready to enter the workforce.

College Explore, a three day residential program, provides a unique opportunity for CFES Scholars entering their junior or senior year to experience life on a college campus and receive guidance on getting admitted to college.

“To mirror the college application process, students must first be accepted into the competitive program by completing an online application and submitting personal statements and references,Ó said CFES College Ambassador Andrea McDonald. Ò This year we partnered with Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI and Paul SmithÕ s College in Paul Smiths.Ó Participants live in college dorms, attend classes taught by college professors, participate in admissions and financial aid workshops, learn college interview and essay writing skills, and take part in leadership activities. Ò Coming to College Explore, I expected to learn about all things college. We were taught about things like applying to college, paying for college, and college life; but we also got to ask a panel of college students our questions,Ó said Erick DuShane of Crown Point. Ò My favorite part was meeting a whole bunch of new friends that will, in some way, help me on my pathway to college.Ó Group mentoring sessions were led by college admissions professionals and college students who provided practical instruction about the college application process, offering insights into the academic and personal qualities admission representatives seek out in applicants. Mentor groups focused on the value of self-evaluation, key elements of college success, campus life, how to choose the right college, and how to help create a collegegoing culture in their high schools.

CFES Scholar Emily Maicus, a senior at AuSable Valley High School, was enthused about Ò the opportunity to interact so closely with college admissions counselors. In conversing with the counselors, I was able to learn much about the expectations of colleges during the application process, and was given many tips as to how to fine-tune my application so that I stand out among the many.Ó

NEED MORE BUSINESS? Ya Gotta Advertise In The

VALLEY NEWS

Ò Before this group session I did not know much about the personal essay or what to write about,Ó said Justin Haverlick of Keene. Ò Afterwards I had a much better idea about what to write and how I could convey my ideas to make my essay stand out.Ó Danielle Cris, of Peru, was struck by the advice on choosing a college given to her by Roger Williams University Coordinator of Multicultural Recruitment Don Mays. Ò You are going to be living there for the next four or more years, make sure you can call it home.Ó She was also excited to hear that Ò there is money out there, you just need to find it . . . don’t let money be the reason you donÕ t further your education.Ó Upon returning home, Danielle created a binder to organize colleges she’s interested in and their requirements, a good first step on her pathway to college.

Although the students were the most direct beneficiaries of the CFES College Explore program, their parents also got a taste of what the college experience will entail for them. Ò I will admit that I was nervous leaving her there,Ó said one mother. Ò However, I did feel that the CFES staff was very helpful and pleasant.

When I picked my daughter up from Skidmore, she only had good things to say about her entire experience; how helpful her mentors were, and how she liked staying in a dorm. I believe that this experience has helped to increase her self-confidence as well as prepare her for her last two years of high school and the transition to college. I think it was an incredible opportunity for her.Ó In the upcoming academic year Erick, Emily, Justin, Danielle, and the other Adirondack CFES Scholars who attended College Explore will return to their school districts Ð Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Willsboro, Keene, AuSable, Peru, and Northern Adirondack Central School Ð more informed about the admissions process ahead, better prepared to continue their pathway to college, and with a few new friendships as well.

Theatre Company seeks directors ESSEX Ñ The Essex Theatre Company is seeking ideas for plays and musicals for the winter months in Essex and the surrounding towns and for the 2014-2015 summer season. If anyone is interested in directing a piece, write a brief synopsis and include bio and contact information. Even if the public is not interested in directing, let us know what you would like to see onstage and/or the names of groups who might be interested in performing. Send ideas to Kathy Poppino, 1027 Hickory Rd., Schenectady, NY 12309 by Oct. 1.

Placid gets new forum for screening first-rate films

LAKE PLACID Ñ This week, the Lake Placid Film Forum (LPFF) embarks on a new phase in its now 15-year storied history: a monthly series at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts (LPCA) screening new, recent, and vintage feature films and documentariesÑ with, whenever possible, the filmmaker(s) or other key participants on hand or via remote connection to introduce the film and answer questions from the audience afterward.

The series opens Friday, September 12, with screenings of Ò The Sweet Hereafter,Ó a searing drama about the aftermath of a tragic school bus accident in a small rural community, based on the novel by Russell Banks set in a fictional town in the Adirondacks. Mr. Banks, a parttime resident of the area who co-founded the LPFF, will be at the 6:30 p.m. screening to introduce the film, which will also be shown at a 9:30 screening Friday.

On Saturday, Sept. 13, Ò The Sweet HereafterÓ will be introduced by Kathleen Carroll, cofounder and Artistic Director of the LPFF and former film critic of the New York Daily News at a 6:30 p.m. screening, with a second showing of the film following again at 9:30 p.m.

The series marks a change of pace for the Film Forum, which has been an annual multiday event in this beautiful Olympic Village in 13 of the past 15 years, most recently in June 2013.

The weekend screenings of Ò The Sweet HereafterÓ not only represent a new phase for the LPFF but a kind of anniversary: it was a sell-out screening of the film in Lake Placid in 1999 that inspired the creation of the Film Forum, says another co-founder, John Huttlinger, President of the Adirondack Film Society (AFS), the nonprofit that produces the LPFF. Ò We think weÕ re embarking in a new directionÑ something thatÕ s a little bit more yearround oriented,Ó he said during a recent conference call with media highlighting the new series. Ò The Sweet Hereafter launched all this in 1999, and this being sort of a rebirth it was a fitting film to launch the rebirth.”

BRINGING TOGETHER MARKERS Even apart from its association with the LPFF and its roots in the Adirondack North Country, “The Sweet Hereafter” is a film well worth watchingÑ or viewing again.

Written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Atom EgoyanÑ who, for largely economic reasons, shot the movie in British Columbia and changed the setting to Canada, accentuating the story’s universal appeal—the film won the Grand Jury Prize at the 1997 Cannes Film Festi-

val and was ranked by the Toronto International Film Festival as one of the Ò Top Ten Canadian Films of All Time.Ó Mr. Banks, with whom Mr. Egoyan consulted on the adaptation, remains a big fan of the movie.

“The film has become a kind of marker film for film students,” the novelist said during the conference call. Ò A whole new generation of young film students and directors [has] studied it, and itÕ s become a kind of classic in its own time.

“So I figured what the heck—let’s look at it again in a fresh light. And itÕ s also a marker for us who have been involved with the Film Forum over the years because it was, in a way, the opening event. And it was the inspiration initially for the whole program. It just seems like a nice way to kick off this new set of screenings.Ó The series will continue on October 11-12 with screenings of Ò Stray Dog,Ó a brand-new documentary by Debra Granik, director of the acclaimed independent feature film, “Winter’s BoneÓ and Ò Life Itself,Ó a documentary about film critic Roger Ebert.

Part of the idea behind the film series is to show, on an ongoing basis, the types of cuttingedge films that have been featured at the annual Film Forum, says Mr. Huttlinger. “[The series] will give people the opportunity to have access to those kinds of films and the Q&A and the educational aspects that go with the programming on a year-round basis,Ó he said. Ò It would keep our ideas out in front of people on an ongoing basis leading up to the Film Forum. So weÕ re hoping that we will generate a good amount of local interest for that event in June and people will just come to expect that theyÕ re going to see the monthly series, but just a lot more of it in a three-to-fourto-five-day period….”

Although a June 2015 Film Forum has yet to be scheduled, the AFS Board will be devoting much of its time and energy in the coming months with the aim of making that happen, Mr. Huttlinger added.

In the meantime, area filmgoers can look forward to multiple screenings of high interest over the ensuring nine months or so. As Mr. Banks sees it, the series is an opportunity to connect with full-time residents of the Adirondack North Country interested in seeing films that they’re not likely to catch at the local multiplex.

Tickets to the film series are $7 and will be available at the door. To learn more about the series, please visit www.lakeplacidarts.org or call the LPCA box office at (518) 523-2512.

Adirondack Film Society President John Huttlinger, left, co-founded a new film series designed to screen quality films with principles on-hand for Q&A sessions with the audience.

Publisher’s Column

A bridge is a better option Enemies at the doorstep

1826 called, and they want their ferry back.

ThatÕ s the year that the Champlain Transportation Company, now the Lake Champlain Transportation Company, was first incorporated in Vermont. Today we have other, more environmentally friendly options for crossing from New York to Vermont Ñ they are called bridges.

Perhaps in the early to mid 1800s it wasnÕ t feasible to try to build a bridge spanning the whopping 2.1 miles from Cumberland Head to Grand Isle, but times have changed. A two mile bridge is something for an engineering 101 class, not the kind of impediment to progress that has hamstrung the people of the Champlain Valley since before the Civil War. What, has kept that bridge from being built? Political apathy on the part of our local, state and federal politicians? The difficulty of two states getting together on an infrastructure project? What?

The last time the issue came up in any serious manner, it was argued that there is a bridge just up the road in Rouses Point. Anyone who doesnÕ t want to pay the $10, one way, for a single occupant car, can just take the bridge. Unfortunately, however, Rouses Point isnÕ t just up the road. In fact, the trek to the Rouses Point bridge for those who reside in the greater Plattsburgh area adds almost 60 miles each way to the trip. ThatÕ s two hours, and 4.8 gallons of gas (at 25 miles per gallon...which not all cars or trucks get). If Ô driving aroundÕ was in fact a viable option, then why was there such a rush to re-build the Crown Point bridge when it was condemned? Why werenÕ t the people who usually take that bridge just told to take the Essex ferry? The reason is because it doesnÕ t make any sense to take a ferry when a bridge can be built.

And where are our environmental friends on the issue? We currently have the option of dieselspewing behemoths slogging back and forth across the lake 24 hours a day, or driving an extra 120 miles to make the trip. Is there any doubt that a bridge, consisting of a four mile round trip, would make so much more sense that itÕ s almost criminal that nobody is out hugging that tree for all their worth?

Some have argued that Vermont is too poor to pick up their share of the bridge. New York had to pick up about 75 percent of the Crown Point bridge after all. Well why shouldnÕ t New York just pick up the tab? The Burlington area has jobs...lots of them. The New York side of the Champlain Valley needs jobs, badly. With a bridge, it would be viable for New Yorkers to take jobs in Vermont.

Several do now. Just check the number of New York plated second vehicles parked on the Vermont side of the ferry. Also, all the people who do work in Vermont wouldnÕ t need to buy a second car to keep on the Vermont side of the ferry. Another win for New Yorkers.

Not to mention shopping. Plattsburgh has a dearth of good shopping. With a bridge, New Yorkers would flock to Burlington more than they already do to shop in Vermont. Now a family of four has to invest about an extra $40 to their trip. For most families on our side of the lake that amount makes the trip not worth taking.

So why havenÕ t our politicians taken up the issue of building a Plattsburgh bridge. Is it more proof that the North Country is out of sight, out of mind? Would it take too much political capital for the small amount of Champlain Valley people it would benefit?

So what about a toll bridge? Then the ferry company could still make money, only not at a rate of maybe $2 a car instead of $10. Let New York bankroll the bridge, and give the ferry company a 50 year lease. Surely Andrew Cuomo, who has been throwing money around upstate like a drunken sailor on leave, could find some more money to throw into a bridge up here. And how about some federal love while weÕ re at it? Where do our federal representatives stand on the matter? Since neither of the major party candidates for US Congress are actually from the district, weÕ re sure itÕ s not forefront in their minds. Do either even know that there is a ferry still running in the 21st century.

A Plattsburgh to Grand Isle bridge will likely never happen in our lifetime, but why not at least have the conversation? You can drive on a bridge all the way to Key West, but not Grand Isle, Vermont. That just doesnÕ t equate. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Supervisor: Assessment down at Frontier Town To the Editor: I would like to respond to some of the comments in the recent editorial George MooreÕ s attorney responds.

It is correct that George Moore has paid his taxes since he purchased the property in 2004. I do not think that issue has ever been questioned. What was not pointed out however is that after ten years of ownership, the assessment on the A frame property, as it is often referred to, was grieved shortly after the auction in May of 2014.

It was assessed at $524,800. As a result of the grievance, the property is now assessed at $275,000 land value. No value is assigned to any improvements on the property, including the A frame. This will result in a significant reduction in his tax.

Interestingly, I went to the website of the real estate agency who lists the property and the asking price remains at $549,000.

It has not sold in ten years at that price, and higher. If the A frame building has no value after ten years of neglect, why would anyone expect a sale now?

I would expect to see it there ten years from now, still unsold. The largest parcel of the contested properties is assessed at $550,000, also with almost no value to improvements, almost all value to the land. Is it not too far a reach that this assessment will also be grieved, that the assessment will be lowered, once again resulting in lower taxes being paid?

The second issue mentioned was the Ò controversial manner in which the county rejected the highest bidder at the public auction.Ó I have stated before that the Town of North Hudson began negotiations with the county to acquire this property as far back as November 2013. The Frontier Town/Republic Steel Task Force was assigned with the task of providing a recommendation to the full Board of Supervisors as to how to best proceed with sale of those properties.

That recommendation was to combine four of the Frontier Town parcels and establish a minimum reserve bid of taxes owed for the property as of the April 30 sale date. That was estimated to be a little more than $146,000. The recommendation of the Task Force was accepted by the full Board of Supervisors.

Both the Plattsburgh Press-Republican and Denton Publications reported the details in March. This information was available to the public; it was not a secret or part of some clandestine plan.

As it seems apparent to me that these publications are indeed read by Mr. MooreÕ s attorney, it seems unlikely to me that the minimum reserve on this property was a complete surprise, even though it was unfortunately not mentioned at the auction.

Additionally, the terms of the contract clearly state that the Board of Supervisors may accept or reject any bid for any reason. I am told that this was also announced at the auction and so should have been clear to everyone. I cannot see how that is even an arguable point. It should also be pointed out that, as the Town of North Hudson had for months expressed interest in the property, the Board of Supervisors agreed to reopen discussion with North Hudson if the property did not sell at auction at the reserve price.

To insinuate that this was some back door, clandestine plan hatched by the Board of Supervisors after the auction is ludicrous. It is false information that has no basis of validity.

On the contrary, a review of the minutes would prove beyond reproach that the Board of Supervisors actions were just the opposite.

As to the issue of the lot in the parking lot of the A frame that was also to be auctioned, I wrote two letters to Mr. Moore informing him of the upcoming auction and that it was our hope that he would acquire that lot, thereby making that property whole.

Lastly, as to the offer of compromise made by Essex County, the county offered 3 of the 4 properties to George Moore.

The fourth property, and largest, was to be subdivided with the Town of North Hudson receiving the property west of Frontier Town Road, consisting of the large parking lot and former town itself, and George Moore would receive that property east of Frontier Town Road, consisting of all of the Route 9 frontage, including the former motel and restaurant.

The restaurant is condemned and will have to be demolished.

Also asked for was an easement over and through two roads from the Frontier Town property, across the property he owns, to the Blue Ridge Road.

The counter offer stated that, Ò he is willing to assure the County of Essex and the Town of North Hudson, that he will allow access to the snowmobile trail over tax map parcel number125.1-1.21 (the disputed lands), as well as the adjoining parcel of land which is already owned by his family LLC, as long as he reserves the right to relocate the trail anywhere else on his land at any time he or the then current owner of the land believes that the current location interferes with the use and enjoyment of the lands.Ó

This does not sound like a Ò permanent easement for the snowmobile trailÓ as stated in his recent letter to the editor.

In fact, the recommendations for that compromise were the minimum that I felt would ensure a permanent, long-term use of the lands for recreational uses.

It is clear that the counter offer made from George Moore did not ensure a permanent, long-term opportunity for the Town of North Hudson.

Ronald Moore, North Hudson supervisor

Bridge closure information false To the Editor: Please be advised that it has been brought to our attention that someone has posted information on social media regarding the closing of Stickney Bridge Road from 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. for the next couple of weeks for construction.

This information is FALSE. It is true that Essex County will be working on the Stickney Bridge Road. However, there are NO anticipated closings except in the event that an uncontrolled circumstance arises.

However, delays in traffic flow may occur.

Many constituents have shared this information via social media and there have been multiple calls to the Town of Jay and Essex County Offices regarding this announcement.

Please be advised that as in the past, and as always, in the event of an anticipated road closing the Town of Jay, Essex County will make public announcements and post message boards outlining the event well in advance of any closures.

Notices of this type will come from the Town of Jay and/or Essex County and rest assured, all town, county and state emergency officials would be notified of any impending closures well in advance.

Supports land purchase To the Editor: Trying to change the focus of a pertinent issue before an election has always been a ploy by desperate politicians and that seems to be the case with Mr. George MooreÕ s attorney.

The fact that Mr. Russell continues to desperately argue about what the county has done, attempts to take the focus off of Mr. MooreÕ s ( George ) inability to attract a buyer, a developer, or himself develop the Frontier Town property he already owns.

It took the spotlight of the press to get Mr. Moore to do basic grounds keeping that hadnÕ t been done in years.

Mr. Moore takes any criticism as a personal affront as opposed to working to correct mistakes made, and join the community to work together.

Yes Mr. Moore has paid his taxes, and yet his property has been devalued to the point that the A frame will be condemned.

All on his watch.

The town of North Hudson I believe stands by itÕ s elected officials. Our town, its supervisor and the town board work hard to benefit the town’s future. Sure there are disagreements, but all of us want the same thing, a better future for our town and for future generations to come.

Dan Snyder, North Hudson

Literacy Services Leads to Opportunity, Strong Communities To the Editor: As the new school year begins, our focus turns to education.

While young students return to school, millions of American adults seek personal empowerment through literacy. We celebrate the determination of these adults to improve their reading, writing, speaking, math, and computer skills, in spite of their often busy and complicated lives.

Sept. 8 is International Literacy Day - established in 1965 by The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to call attention to the world-wide issues of illiteracy.

In New York, an estimated 2.7 million adults lack basic literacy, math and employment skills. Low-level reading and math skills are linked to poverty, incarceration and dropout rates.

These same individuals lack basic health, financial and consumer literacy skills, according to Literacy New York, Inc., which serves approximately 6,500 adults each year through a network of 35

affiliates and their volunteers.

Literacy Volunteers of Clinton County and Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties jointly serve over 250 adult learners annually with the help of 225 volunteers. In addition, approximately 1,600 pre-school children in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, and Hamilton counties receive a free book every month through our Ò Imagination Library.Ó We thank our valued volunteers and invite others to join our mission for a literate community. Tutor Training Orientation will be held in Plattsburgh on Sept. 10 and Oct. 1; Port Henry, Sept.

25; Malone, Oct. 2; and Lake Placid Oct. 14.

There is no cost to the learner. We invite all to spread the word to those in need of literacy services … and about our “Imagination Library.Ó Literacy Leads. It leads to employment. It leads to independence. It leads to opportunity.

Maria Burke, Executive Director, Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties Norma Menard, Executive Director, Literacy Volunteers of Clinton County

A bucket challenge thank you To the Editor: The staff of Essex County Department of Social Services wish to thank you for covering our ALS ice bucket challenge after work on Wednesday, Aug. 20.

Having been challenged by Essex County Family Court, fully one-third of our department showed up on the front lawn of the government center at 4:30 p.m. to brave the ice.

To honor the gravity of the purpose, we led off with a few words from a co-worker whose father died of ALS. Thirtyone DSS employees then proceeded Ð in a well choreographed Ò waveÓ Ð to dump ice water on their heads.

Most were dressed down, but some remained in professional work attire, including our well-dressed attorney who endured the icy water in full suit and tie!

Many more staff who could not suffer the ice nonetheless donated. In fact, one staffer contributed $90 to cover all the coworkers in his unit.

Today we sent checks totaling $545 to the ALS Raising HOPE Foundation out of Plattsburgh, whose website states that Ò 100% of all donations goes towards ALS research at Massachusetts General Hospital.Ó With so many people needing buckets and ice, we would also like to thank Elizabethtown Family Dollar and Aubochon for generously loaning us many buckets, and Tops for donating bags of ice. WeÕ d also like to thank a passerby by the name of Glen for insisting that we add his $20 to the cause.

Finally, in case anyone missed our challenges, we also challenged Essex County Mental Health, Families First, ACAP, Public Health, Clinton and Franklin County Social Services, and, last but not least, the Essex County Board of Supervisors.

Better hurry folks…it’s not going to get any warmer!

John OÕ Neill, Commissioner

By Pete DeMola

nomic downturn is associated with at least 10,000 additional suicides between 2008 and 2010.

The loss of jobs and homes paired with depression and anxiety led to a toxic combination, said the report.

“Isolation is definitely a factor for folks in terms of dealing with mental health issues,Ó said Valley. Ò A lack of options might be a factor in breaking out of that cycle.Ó Substance abuse also plays a role.

Valley said the county-run facility has seen a “significant increase” in the number of patients seeking treatment who also have issues with drugs and alcohol, with opiates quickly dislodging alcohol as the drug of choice. Ò ItÕ s become increasingly dramatic,Ó he said.

Rising suicides a symptom of a national problem pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ National Suicide Prevention Week, an event wrapped around World Suicide Prevention Day on Sept. 10, follows a summer when mental health issues have surfaced on both national and local radars.

Elizabethtown alone experienced two public suicides within several weeks, developments that cast a pall over this small town in Essex County, while the death of Robin Williams last month immediately ignited a national dialogue on the stigma surrounding mental health.

Essex County Director of Mental Health Steve Valley said the Elizabethtown incidents are a microcosm of whatÕ s unfolding at the national level, with many of the structural cracks in the countryÕ s mental health infrastructure Ñ cutbacks in state psychiatric institutes, gaps in Medicare and Medicaid coverage Ñ being amplified due to the county’s remoteness and rural nature.

Essex CountyÕ s suicide rate has risen dramatically since 2008, when just a single death was attributed to that cause. The number doubled in 2009, rose to five in 2010 and doubled again to 10 each in 2011 and 2012.

Only Hamilton County ranked higher in New York State, which at 16.43 per 100,000 people, is double the state average.

Valley said those numbers could actually be higher. Ò Suicide stats are based on coronerÕ s reports and it is generally acknowledged that they are under-reported for a variety of reasons,Ó he said.

Namely stigma.

Zooming out, from 1999 to 2010, the suicide rate among Americans ages 35 to 64 rose by nearly 30 percent, to 17.6 deaths per 100,000 people.

Valley attributes the rise in Essex County, in part, to the Great Recession, a link confirmed by research revealed earlier this summer by the University of Oxford and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

In that study, the authors estimated the eco-

LOCAL HELP Valley said while the national shortage of psychiatrists can be tied to the uptick of suicides at the national level Ñ Essex County has been without a full-time psychiatrist since December and accelerated the recruiting process last month when lawmakers voted to hire an outside recruiter Ñ there are other factors and the issue needs be addressed more broadly than just a mental health issue, but rather under the lens of public health and prevention.

That requires broad community understanding and involvement, he said.

Earlier this summer, the department facilitated several film screenings to educate and raise awareness of community resources and the work being done by the countyÕ s Suicide Prevention Coalition.

Valley encouraged low-income residents struggling with depression, those who are facing gaps in insurance coverage, to go to the Department of Social Services to determine their eligibility for entitlements.

Following that first step, residents should set up an appointment with his office.

A lack of funds shouldnÕ t impede those in need Ñ the department uses a sliding payment scale. Ò Regardless of income or other personal characteristics, we donÕ t discriminate against anyone here,Ó said Valley.

Bridge replacement From page 1

LOCAL REACTIONS Noon Mark Diner co-owner Melinda Little said her business lost $40,000 in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Irene, the seven-to-10 day interim period between when Route 73 was closed and signs were put up directing motorists to the business district.

That happened during one of their busiest weeks. ÒI t was horrible,Ó s he said.

Marion Jeffers, owner of the Birch Store on Route 73, said a closure would effect how she would buy from downstate wholesalers. ÒI ship through that corridor,Ó s he said.

Jeffers cited DOT traffic studies that showed 1.5 million vehicles per year passed through the corridor. Past closures, including repairs to the bridge at the bottom of Spruce Hill, had a significant impact on business, she said.

She also questioned how it would impact her employeesÕ commute.

Valley Grocery co-owner Carol Reed, echoing a common refrain, said she thought if the DOT

Clarkson Kids

TL • Valley News - 9

www.valleynewsadk.com repaired bridges one-by-one and installed traffic lights to keep one lane open, that would be sufficient.

Peter Murphy, of McDonoughÕ s Valley Hardware, said he hoped the bridges would be widened.

Currently, snow removal efforts are difficult, he said. ÒT he way it is now, we canÕ t get a snow machine across. You canÕ t clean the sidewalk. And it would be better for pedestrians, too.Ó Murphy also worried about the effects on the Neighborhood House, the senior living facility that he said received a Òt remendousÓ amount of emergency calls.

Ambulances would have to divert to Malfunction Junction and then get on the Northway, he said.

Andrew Johnstone, a reporter with Denton Publications who lives in Keene Valley, said any bridge closures would add distance to his frequent trips to Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.

“One-lane traffic would be less of a nuisance, so IÕ m curious to see what decisions are made,Ó he said. ÒI canÕ t understate the importance of safe bridges, especially after hearing about possibly avoidable accidents in the past.Ó

Nearly 25 percent of the bridges in the United States have been deemed “structurally deficient.Ó On the other hand, said Johnstone, the bridge over Johns Brook has been a source of a lot of noisy work in the past couple of years. ÒH opefully, the commute and daily life of those in situations like my own are weighed into the decision-making process.Ó Vince McClelland owns the Mountaineer, the business located on Route 73 several yards from the Johns Brook Bridge.

He said he was communicating with state and town officials to help ensure a smooth process.

“We’ve given [the DOT] a lengthy response to plans and request they do the work as quickly as they possibly can, preferably not in July and August,Ó he said. ÒE very Adirondack business makes money in July and August. If they disrupt the traffic flow, it will have a negative impact.”

McClelland floated the idea of pre-fabricating some of the bridges, including the one over Little Johns Brook.

Doing so might get the job done in a week, he said.

those shows,Ó said Ziemendorf. Ò It just it makes it more public how much we really need to focus on this. Even though he had so many people who loved him, he still took his own life.Ó Zarnofsky said while she understood itÕ s a topic people frequently shy away from, the comedianÕ s death is forcing the public to confront the stigma of mental illness. Ò ItÕ s a medical condition that people donÕ t address,Ó she said. Ò When they think of people committing suicide, they see it as selfish as opposed to them having a serious problem.”

The pair hopes to tackle the climb, consisting of some 140 miles in trails, in one week. All funds raised through their effort, which coincides with National Suicide Prevention Week from Sept. 8 to 14, will be donated to the American Prevention for Suicide Prevention.

Their goal is to raise $10,000.

Ziemendorf said both have been personally touched by the issue. Ò I lost a friend in high school and 1,000 people showed up to the services,Ó he said. Ò One-thousand people asking what they could have done. These are questions that go unanswered.Ó The twosome said they hope more light will be shed on recognizing the warning sides of those in a suicidal state and, for survivors, developing coping mechanisms for the aftermath. Ò People need help on how to grieve and get through these tragedies,Ó said Ziemendorf. Ô ULTRA-MARATHONÕ Both have a deep-rooted love for hiking and have spent the summer training. Ò ItÕ s been pretty crazy for me,Ó said Ziemendorf. Ò WeÕ re training like itÕ s an ultra-marathon,Ó said Zarnofsky. Ò We hike about 35 miles per day, at least five mountains.”

Some of the hikes have been in New Jersey, while others have been scout runs on the actual trails in Keene and Lake Placid.

Both are augmenting their training with running and yoga. Ò We did 55 miles this week,Ó said Ziemendorf.

The pair, who live downstate, have received help from world record holder Jan Wellford, who scaled the 46 in three days and 17 hours. Ò HeÕ s been a great resource,Ó said Ziemendorf. Ò He knows the Adirondacks like the back of his hand.Ó If the duo are successful, Zarnofsky will set the womenÕ s speed record, a feat that hasnÕ t been attempted before.

Their effort has been sponsored by the North Face and Fleet Feet Sports. Ò TheyÕ ve all been a great help getting the gear we need,Ó said Ziemendorf.

Ziemendorf, the president of the Clarkson University Outing Club, said the organization will help lug their gear and prepare campsites each evening. Ò Everyone has been really great,Ó he said, citing staff members and other volunteers. Ò WeÕ ve had people reaching out, asking us how to help, complete strangers coming out to support us.Ó To donate, visit 46climbs.com.

ÒT hey have demonstrated their ability to do things quickly as demonstrated by work in Irene,Ó he said. ÒI tÕ s going to be really hard to run this business if they spend all summer long working on these bridges at the same time. They know that and seem to be listening.

ÒW eÕ ve done a lot of work this year and are committed to doing the rest of the work,Ó said Zhou, noting that the state invested $40 million in Essex CountyÕ s infrastructure in 2014.

During the presentation to lawmakers, he ticked off a long list of additional projects, from culvert replacement in Keene Valley and Wilmington to the summerÕ s paving jobs on Route 73, that he said showed the stateÕ s commitment to the region and as a safeguard against future natural disasters and extreme weather patterns.

Storming into a new season: SL refills backfield

By Andrew Johnstone andrew@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE Ñ After a 5-5 season that included winning a Section VII Class C Championship, the Red Storm looks to continue the trend, one game at a time.

The championship was the fourth straight for Saranac Lake and a win that Coach Eric Bennett said the players Ò did tremendouslyÓ in. Last yearÕ s team, he said, bought in and committed to getting better throughout the season. But despite the string of championships, BennetÕ s focus is solely on the teamÕ s opener against Ausable Valley. Ò Our team goals remain the same each year,Ó said Bennett, who along with his assistants, are 34-9 over the past four seasons. Ò We want to become a true team in every sense of the word, win game one, and position ourselves for a chance to win a championship. Ò Every game counts.Ó Despite losing two key players, Lance Ackerson and Trent Fitzgerald, both running backs and outsider linebackers, to graduation, Saranac Lake returns plenty of talent in 2014.

Junior Tristan Fitzgerald, who Bennett described as a patient player who doesnÕ t try to do too much, returns as quarterback,

while running backs Ty Marmion, Jack Martin and Dylan Kilner will look to fill the void left in the backfield while also playing defense. Ò Our strengths include a fair amount of experience returning this year and solid summer participation,Ó said Bennett.

Wide receivers/defensive backs Jason Stack and Torin Smith, as well as wide receiver and linebacker Alex Donaldson, also return for their senior years.

After beating Saranac 30-28 to claim last yearÕ s championship, the Red Storm fell to Ogdensburg 27-19 in the Class C playoff opener. Ò We need to do a better job this year of scoring when opportunities present themselves and not trying to do too much within our schemes,Ó said Bennett.

By Kyle Oehlbeck

denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE Ñ In a rainy Saturday game between Saranac Lake and Ausable Valley the Patriots turned the ball over nine times, the first coming on the opening play of the game as the Red Storm scored a 48-0 victory.

Red Storm defensive lineman Hunter Moon recovered four fumbles and fell on one in the end zone for a touchdown.

The Red Storm beat the Patriots in all phases of the game, with two defensive touchdowns (Safety Torin Smith 65 yard Interception for a touchdown), and a score coming on special teams (Safety Ty Marmion 55 yard punt return). Dylan Kilner led the Red Storm with 49 yards rushing on seven carries. Head Coach Eric Bennett was happy with the way his team played together and capitalized on turnovers.

Patriots Coach Heith Ford wasnÕ t pleased with his teamÕ s 48-0 loss, however he was optimistic that his young team would regroup, refocus and prepare to beat Beekmantown.

The weather wasnÕ t the only thing holding back the Patriots Saturday, they were also missing six players resulting in an exhausted team at the end of the day.

The Patriots will next face Beekmantown at home at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 12.

Moriah clamps down defensively to defeat Plattsburgh

By Kyle Oehlbeck

denpubs@denpubs.com MINEVILLE Ñ Adam Jaquish threw for 109 yards and accounted for two second half touchdowns to solidify the Vikings 28-6 Friday night, Sept. 5 win over the Plattsburgh Hornets in the season opener for both teams.

Jaquish connected with Cody Stockwell for a 64-yard touchdown pass down the right sideline for a score, putting the Vikings up 21-6.

The Vikings took a 14-0 lead into halftime, but after a 64yard interception by Hornet linebacker Riley Monahan brought the Hornets down to the Vikings own two and Running back Mackenzie McKethan (6-40yds) promptly made it a 14-6 game.

The Connection between Jaquish and Stockwell was pivotal in squashing the Hornets second half surge.

After Viking running back Troy Welch (7-29yds) went down

early in the first half, Moriah ran behind a trio of backs. Leading the way was Collin Harris with 18 carries for 99 yards. Fullback Noah Gilbo had 9 carries for 39 yards, and Cody Stockwell had three carries for 29 yards.

The Vikings defense was stout the entire night, holding the Hornets to six points and 60 total yards of offense. Bill Larrow led the way with seven tackles and two for loss; Noah Gilbo had six tackles and two sacks; Harris had an interception and a pass break upon the defensive side; and Jaquish had three pass break ups at defensive end, one being snagged down by linebacker Jordan Cheney for a four-yard interception and touchdown.

Plattsburgh’s first-year Head Coach Pat Keleher was not without praise for his team. He noted that even though they have 17 seniors they are still inexperienced and tonight they played with great heart and desire. They needed to work on the little things, alignment, penalties, and to prepare for Saranac LakeÕ s spread offense attack next week.

The Moriah Vikings line up for a scoring play against Plattsburgh High with center Caleb Yelle, quarterback Adam Jaquish, fullback Noah Gilbo and tailback Kyle Stockwell.

Ticonderoga Sentinels top Chiefs in football opener

By Akashia Swinton

denpubs@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ FridayÕ s game against the Ticonderoga Sentinels was an eye opener for the Saranac Chiefs. Ticonderoga shut out Saranac Sept. 5 by the final score of 33 to 0.

The first quarter was high scoring for the Sentinels with the first three drives ending in 6 points. Brody Rocque, Garrison Hughes and Domanic Banish all had touchdowns for the Sentinels in the first quarter. Standouts for the Chiefs in the first quarter included Caiden Goodman with a 30 yard kick return and Rafael Rivera with a 44 yard reception from Mason Utzler.

Despite the large points discrepancy, the Chiefs were able to hold the Sentinels to zero points in the second half. Brandon Dubrey and Colby Russell both had big tackles for the Chiefs in the second half that limited the Ticonderoga rushing game.

With a combined 264 rushing yards, the Sentinels dominated the field with multiple weapons at their disposal. Leading the Sentinels in rushing yards were Konner Bruce with 8 carries for 77 yards and Garrison Hughes with 5 carries for 76 yards fol-

lowed by Brody Rocque with 6 carries for 50 yards and Ryan Trudeau with 10 carries for 44 yards. The standout versatile player for Ticonderoga was Domanic Banish with two interceptions, 35 return yards and a 42 yard field goal.

Despite the fantastic performance by the Sentinels, there were 10 penalties and 2 turnovers that stunted TiconderogaÕ s scoring by negating a 55 yard punt return for 6 by Garrison Hughes and a 33 yard reception for a touchdown by Ryan Trudeau. This is an obvious point of weakness that the Sentinels will want to address for next week against the Peru Indians.

Coach Jason Daniels of the Chiefs looks to solidify blocking and defensive assignments to prepare for next week. He also is looking to prepare all players for more than two positions to prepare for various situations due to injuries which was an issue in the season opener at Sentinel Field. Key player, Caiden Goodman, went down in the third quarter with severe leg cramps which only intensified after being helped off the field. Knowing the work ethic of his players, Coach Daniels said he’s confident the team will come back fighting next week when they face the Moriah Vikings at home at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 13.

LAKE PLACID Ñ The Lake Placid cross country team returns every runner from last yearÕ s boys and girls squads for 2014.

A different look in Saranac Lake Red Storm looks to replace 14 graduates

By Andrew Johnstone andrew@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Red Storm, coming off a Section VII Class B semifinals appearance, will look to fill a handful of voids as it transitions into 2014.

Fourteen players who helped Saranac Lake to a 10-5-1 record last year graduated, leaving plenty of opportunity for underclassmen to contribute this year. Ò The Red Storm has a very young team this year with the probability of starting six underclassmen,Ó said Coach Joshua Marlow, Marlow, who took last yearÕ s D-I Coach of the Year honors, added that it will be important for this seasonÕ s seniors to help transition the younger players into the varsity game.

Seniors Eli Hameline and Ethan Sawyer, who are expected to have a strong season, will carry much of that responsibility. Ò Our goal, being such a young team, is to improve each game,Ó said Marlow.

New York begins its long big game season

I

t may seem far too early for hunters to be taking to the woods again, especially in light of the recent 90 degree temperatures. The brilliant Fall foliage has not yet begun to brighten the hillsides and IÕ ve yet to feel the chill of the season’s first frost.

The only woodsmoke currently in the air comes from campfires, and it is more likely to carry the scent of burnt marshmallows than split, birch logs. It simply canÕ t be hunting season yet; there are still pleanty of fish to be caught!

However despite the summer-like weather, New York StateÕ s Early Bear Season is indeed set to open in less than a week in the Northern Zone at sunrise, on Saturday, September 13.

Although there will likely be hunters out in the woods over the coming weekend, I really doubt theyÕ ll be wearing long-johns and wool plaid jackets, since the long range forecast is calling for rain with temperature in the 70Õ s. However, whatever clothing you chose to wear in the autumn woods, be sure the colors include some bright reds, yellow or orange.

Never wear clothing with shades of brown, tan, white or even black. Hunters always strive to be safe at all times, hikers and climbers would be wise to do the same.

In recent years, the NYSDEC has been dealing with increasing problems of negative bear-human interactions. Following several years of healthy mast crops, the black bear population has been on the increase all across the Northeast.

In New York, nuisance bears have been raising havoc everywhere from the usual summer campgrounds to the college campus and beyond.

As a result, efforts have been increased to manage the population via Big Game Hunting. This season, bear hunters are getting a boost as crossbows are now considered a legal hunting implement for use during the Early Bear Season which runs from Sept.

13- Oct. 17.

Expanded bear hunting opportunities will include the opening of additional wildlife management units (WMUs) and the establishment of an early bear season in the southern zone While national sporting publications such as Field and Stream, Sports Afield and Outdoor Life regularly publish stories about

Big Game hunting adventures in states such as Montana, Wyoming and Colorado; the magazines rarely give a nod to the opportunities in the East.

ItÕ s totally understandable. New York State is far better known for New York City, the State of Liberty and Niagara Falls.

I guess New York is just too tame to warrant a mention in the big, national magazines, even though the state encompasses the largest chunk of wilderness land east of the Rockies.

However, thes traditional outdoor activities of camping, hunting, paddling and fishing still rank among the most popular forms of recreation in the state.

Nearly 700,000 New Yorkers and over 75,000 nonresidents hunt annually in the state, and according to a recent national survey, more than $8.1 billion of economic activity is created as a result of this single sporting activity in the state.

In 2011, New York was ranked fourth in the nation in terms of hunter spending, which contributed an estimated $290 million in state and local taxes.

New York currently ranks third in the nation in total number of resident hunters. But please, letÕ s keep it quiet!

We certainly donÕ t want all those Westerners coming to the eas to huntt!

Once again, the State is willing to invest in the future by hosting the annual Youth Firearms Deer Hunt (age 14-15) over Columbus Day weekend from Oct. 11-13, 2014. For further information, please visit the DEC website. This annual event is a great way to introduce youth to the thrill of the hunt, and to pass on the traditions. ItÕ s also a great way to develop an experienced hunting partner tht will be around to help you drag one out.

New York also has a very long, big game hunting season which begins with Early Bear opening on September 13. The annual Hunting Season concludes when the Coyote Season closes on March 29.

ItÕ s probably a good thing, since New YorkÕ s Annual Trout Season begins on April 1, as it leaves a little bit of time to put away the guns and hunting gear before getting out the boat and the fishing rods.

The state also allows sportsmen and women to establish nonpermanent Ô Hunting CampsÕ on State Land which are available via a permit system.

Camping Permits, which are generally periods not to exceed two weeks, can be arranged through local Forest Rangers.

Hunting Camp permits allow camps to be established and maintained on State Lands from September to December. ThatÕ s four months, during a timeframe when the hunting opportunities are generous!

A hunter often asks, “Did a deer appear there, or did I imagine it? A flag bouncing through the brush usually provides the answer.
