LAKE PLACID Ñ Jim McKenna eyed the cluster of cocktail-sipping businessowners, dignitaries and elected officials before swooping in and ushering them to his office, where a laptop displayed his agencyÕ s shimmering new virtual guide. Ò ItÕ s a heck of a marketing tool,Ó he said as while taking digital spins around the Adirondack Park.

The new site, which was quietly launched last week, contains a series of interactive 360 views from locations across the Adirondack Park, including Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake, Crown Point and Ticonderoga.

Sweeping vistas from well-known locales like Mount Marcy Summit and Pyramid Peak are also included alongside interior shots of bars and restaurants.

LOUDONVILLE Ñ Thirteen points. ThatÕ s the lead Elise Stefanik, a Republican, has over Aaron Woolf, a Democrat, in the race to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh).

A WWNY-TV 7/Siena College Poll released on Thursday found Stefanik leading 46-33 percent, with Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello garnering 10 percent.

Eleven percent remain undecided.

StefanikÕ s lead matches the RepublicansÕ 13 point enrollment edge among likely voters, said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg in a news release announcing the findings.

The Willsboro-based former White House staffer leads by more than 50 points among Republicans while Woolf, an Elizabethtown-based filmmaker, has a 38 point lead with Democrats.

Independents are evenly divided.

Broken down by geographical area, Stefanik has a significant double-digit lead in the western and southern portions of the district, which spans some 12 counties over 16,000 square miles, and leads by six points in the north and central parts, including Essex, Franklin, Hamilton and Clinton counties.

Stefanik also leads the pack in favorability ratings: 44 percent have a favorable opinion of the candidate Ñ compared to 32 percent for Woolf and 18 percent for Funiciello Ñ while 29 percent have an unfavorable opinion of Stefanik against WoolfÕ s 25 percent and Funiciello at 21 percent.

Green Day Hawkins: “We’re running to win”

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS Ñ A majority of New Yorkers have progressive values, said Green Party gubernatorial candidate Howie Hawkins.

They want things like good schools, clean air and a living wage. They want affordable health care and fair taxes.

As such, he explained, heÕ s the only progressive choice on the November ballot.

On Sunday, Sept. 14, he stumped in Glens Falls with activist paterfamilias Ralph Nader and fellow candidate Matt Funiciello, a local baker who is running for Congress.

Following a fundraiser at the Rare Earth Wine Bar, the trio rallied their base at the Charles Wood Theater, a buoyant event that brought in thousands in grassroots cash.

Hawkins cited Zephyr TeachoutÕ s lashing of Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary last week that saw the law professor rout the incumbent in 30 upstate counties, garnering 34 percent of the vote. Ò It was a repudiation by the base of the Democratic Party against CuomoÕ s policies,Ó he said. Ò IÕ m going to work to hard to earn the support of Teachout and Randy Credico voters.Ó The lifelong activist currently works at a UPS transfer station in Syracuse. He said this experience on the frontlines allows him to tap into the sentiments of the working class. Ò I talk to people all the time at my job and go door-to-door,Ó he said.

ItÕ s our intention to appeal to them.Ó He decried voters who vote against their own economic interests, a theme he shares with Funiciello and Nader, who delivered a scathing speech shortly after HawkinsÕ comments. Ò Majoritarian values donÕ t transcend to public policy,Ó said Hawkins. Ò The one percent discourages a majority. Two-thirds of the voting public are working classÉ and thatÕ s why we need a Green Party.Ó GREEN NEW DEAL Hawkins pumped something called the Green New Deal, a package of policy proposals that party officials say is the missing link between the birth of Social Security in the 1930s, Civil Rights in the 1960s and today.

Hawkins, who also took a run at the governorÕ s seat in 2010, is locked out of this fallÕ s gubernatorial debates between Cuomo and Republican candidate Rob Astorino.

In lacerating remarks at the Charles Wood Theater, the candidate lashed out against Ò the corporate-run monopoly in mediaÓ that he said froze him out.

Debates four years ago were a gong show, Hawkins agreed, but heÕ s a serious candidate.

Cuomo, who refused to debate Teachout, has said little on the matter, while Astorino has said debates should only be between candidates who actually have a shot at winning the race.

The most recent polls have showed Hawkins at seven percent, a number that jumps to 12 percent in the 19th and 21st congressional districts.

Hawkins cited Tom Golisano, the three-time gubernatorial candidate who was included in past debates despite having anemic poll numbers.

The Green Party has the ballot statewide and needs 10,000 votes to retain it for the next election. Ò I should be included by any objective standard,Ó he said. Ò It would be a crime for the other candidates.Ó Astorino has challenged Cuomo to eight debates across the state Ñ including one in the North Country Ñ but Cuomo, who holds a commanding 30 point lead over Astorino, has not yet accepted.

Establishing the Green Party as the stateÕ s third majority party will change the dynamics across the state, said Hawkins. Ò WeÕ re running to win.Ó Voters will head to the polls on Nov. 4.

Saranac Lake Red Storm remain undefeated at 2-0

By Barrie Finnegan

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ At the start of the game, the Saranac Lake Red Storm wanted to be introduced as one team, no individuals.

That is exactly what transpired on the field.

From a balanced offensive attack to the swarming defense, it was a total team effort as the Red Storm moved to 2-0 with a dominating 40-2 performance over Plattsburgh on Sept. 12.

Tristin Fitzgerald used a variety of weapons to score through the air as well as on the ground. Hard running by Dylan Kilner opened up the passing attack, which proved too much for the HornetsÕ defense.

Coach Bennett used his hurry up offense to keep the Plattsburgh defense on their heels. At one point during a 74-yard touchdown drive, five different running backs handled the ball.

The Hornets came out strong, playing a great first quarter which ended at 7-2, but the Red Storm soon caught stride and scored 20 unanswered 2nd quarter points.

After the first score of the game on a Fitzgerald pass to Alex Donaldson, the Hornets hung tough by forcing a safety on an intentional grounding call in the end zone. Dylan Kilner and Jason Stack each had interceptions leading to Red Storm scores.

Sophomore Joe Viscardo threw a great block to spring Torin Smith loose on a 40 yard pass play. Hornets Coach Pat Keleher was heard from the sideline shouting Ò Find some heart!Ó as the Red Storm closed in on a score, but Fitzgerald hit Donaldson for a leaping, 21 yard backward catch in the end zone for touchdown to close out the first half 27-2.

Killian Ryan scored on a five yard run and at that point the ground game for Saranac Lake took over for the remainder of the game.

Eagles run over Patriots in Section VII football action

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com AUSABLE VALLEY Ñ The EaglesÕ Justin Stevens eclipsed the 200 yard mark on the ground and Beekmantown rolled off 23 second quarter points on its way to a 43-22 win over AuSable Valley on Friday night, Sept. 12.

After a scoreless first quarter when both defenses held strong, the Eagles got on the board with a field goal before finding the end zone three more times before the half.

Stevens had 215 yards and two touchdowns, including a 48 yard touchdown run to make it 29-0 in the third. He also had 55 yards receiving and a touchdown grab. Ó HeÕ s our work horse and heÕ s our go-to guy,Ó said Eagles Coach Jamie Lozier.

BeekmantownÕ s running game wasnÕ t just a one-player show. The Eagles got rushing touchdowns from Tyler Newman, Dylan Peryea and Alex Archer as well. Tyler Myers chipped in 67 yards on the ground.

Though the ground attack helped carry Beekmantown to the win, Lozier added that the Eagles will need to continue working on the

passing game to compete as the season moves forward. Ó If we canÕ t develop and come up with something else, itÕ s going to be a long season,Ó said Lozier. Ò WeÕ re going to work really hard at it.Ó AuSable Valley found their offensive rhythm after StevensÕ third quarter touchdown run.

Quarterback William Coats threw for 170 yards and two touchdowns, including a 27-yard scoring throw to Lucas Perez for the Patriots’ first score of the season.

AuSable Valley was shutout by Saranac Lake 48-0 in their road opener.

Both teams had some trouble keeping the ball out of the hands of the defense on the chilly night. Coats threw five picks, including one that was returned for a touchdown before being called back on a penalty.

BeekmantownÕ s Mickey Pepper threw two interceptions as well. He completed three passes for 56 yards. Alex Archer got some time under center for the Eagles in the second half, throwing for 32 yards, including StevensÕ touchdown through the air.

Beekmantown, which lost 20-15 to Peru last week, picked up their first win of the season.

Moriah Vikings get by the Saranac Chiefs on the road

By Akashia Swinton

denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC Ñ Progress was the theme in Saranac Saturday, Sept. 13 as the Chiefs fell to the Moriah Vikings 40-22.

The first half of the game was reminiscent of Saranac’s 33-0 loss to Ticonderoga as the Chiefs came back from halftime and limited their opponent to only seven points for the remainder of the game.

The first half of the game was action-packed for the Vikings as quarterback Adam Jaquish threw for 142 yards and 3 touchdowns. His main targets were Jarrod MacDougal, who had 59 receiving yards and two touchdowns, Cody Stockwell with 32 yards, Kyle Stockwell with 30 yards and Taylor Slattery with 21 yards and a touchdown.

Carrying the rushing game was Troy Welch with 45 yards and two touchdowns. Saranac quarterback Caiden Goodman didnÕ t complete a pass for the Chiefs but had 51 rushing yards in the first half.

The game shifted at the start of the second half. The Vikings came out looking complacentÑ Coach Donny Tesar said they took their lead for granted. With a majority of their time spent on defense, the Vikings scored seven in the second half.

The Chiefs’ game shifted when they scored their first touchdown. Relief flooded the end zone and a spark was ignited within the Saranac team. George Miller rushed for 77 yards, Caiden Goodman rushed for 22 yards and a touchdown and completed

a 10 yard touchdown pass to Dillan Clay and Rafael Rivera had a couple of carries for five yards and a touchdown after the break.

Saranac Coach Jason Daniels plans to build off of this spark and adjust accordingly. Blocking and coverage assignments improved from last week, but still need some work before playing in Saranac Lake on Saturday, Sept.

20.

Moriah had issues with penalties against Saranac. Three consecutive carries by Troy Welch totaling 83 yards all ended in penalties and ultimately cost the Vikings a possession. This is an area in need of improvement before they play the Ticonderoga Sentinels next week at home. Tesar said that the game will come down to who can produce in the trenches as the two teams know each other so well.

Peru rallies in fourth to defeat Ticonderoga

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PERU — A wet field and confident Ticonderoga squad held the Peru Indians at bay for three quarters of their Sept. 13 football game.

However, a strong fourth quarter on both sides of the ball and a little bit of good fortune helped the Indians to a 20-14 victory.

After jumping out to a 6-0 lead on a Blake Altizer 24-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Gallo, the Indians gave up 14 unanswered as Garrison Hughes connected on a screen pass with Ryan Trudeau who rumbled 54 yards for a touchdown, followed by a Hughes one-yard keeper after Brody Rocque intercepted an Altizer pass for a 14-6 lead heading into halftime and through the 12 minutes of the third quarter.

At the start of the fourth, the Sentinels were faced with a thirdand-16 deep in Peru territory. Hughes once again looked for Trudeau on a long pass play, but the ball just slipped through his fingers, bringing up fourth down.

On the punt, Gallo returned the ball 51 yards to set Peru up at the Sentinel 11-yard line. Four plays later, Altizer dove into the end zone from one yard out and completed a pass to Rivelino Hendricks for the two-point conversion to tie the game.

On the next Sentinel drive, Hughes was sacked twice by Troy Lawyer and Makenzie Boise, the second sending the Ti quarterback to the sideline for the rest of the game.

The Indians capitalized later in the fourth as Altizer again scored on a keeper from one yard out to make the score 20-14.

Two last ditch efforts by the Sentinels ended with interceptions by Gallo and Hendricks.

Altizer ended the game 14-for-37 passing with 183 yards, one touchdown and a pair of picks (Rocque, Parker Granger). He also ran 17 times for 63 yards including a pair of scores.

Gallo caught four balls for 80 yards, including a touchdown, while Altizer also connected with Troy Lawyer (5-45 yards), Hendricks (3-37), Ryan Lovely (1-15) and John Gallo (1-6).

On the ground, Brandon Sawyer had 22 carries for 130 yards with Hendricks running the ball twice for eight yards and John Gallo gaining one yard on one carry.

“We made a lot of mistakes in the first half,” Peru head coach Nick Damiani said. “We wanted to play down the field and play fast and the wet weather makes it a little hard. We had a big punt return that put us in position for the touchdown and that was huge.Ó The Indians next travel to AuSable Valley for a Friday evening, Sept. 19, game. Ò We have bene running the same stuff since day one and we

are still making mistakes on reads,Ó Damiani said on preparing to face the Patriots. Ò It is a lot on the mind of a young football player. They have to keep working to get it to all come together with the young guys. We will keep going over it and drilling it.Ó For the Sentinels, HughesÕ s lone completion was the 54-yard screen pass to Trudeau out of five attempts. Hughes also ran the ball 15 times for 53 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game, while Trudeau had 11 carries for 35 yards. Konner Bruce added 11 carries for 39 yards.

“I was very happy defensively with how we were flying around all over the place,Ó Ti head coach Scott Nephew said. Ò We need to keep doing what we are doing on defense and let the offense come around. We never like losing but it is an experience we had to have today.Ó Nephew said losing Hughes was a blow to the offense. Ò It hurts a little bit when any kids go down because it messes up your personnel packages,Ó he said. Ò It makes it hard.Ó Next for the Sentinels is the regular season preview of the eventual Class D championship game as they will travel to Moriah Friday, Sept. 19. Ò We donÕ t look at it any differently,Ó Nephew said of the regular season meeting of the two teams destined to meet for sectional glory. Ò We just get ready to go and we are looking to get better this week.Ó

Eagles blank Blue Bombers in windy contest Sept. 11

By Kyle Oehlbeck

denpubs@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — Two first half goals by Chazy (3-1, 2-0) helped the Eagles top the Blue Bombers in a game dictated by wind factors Thursday, Sept. 11. With the wind at their back in the first half, Chazy’s right outside midfielder Tyler Hicks received the cross just outside the six-yard box and drilled it in for an early first half score.

The second goal came from center midfielder Josh Barriere late in the first half after the ball was played down the end line and a series of missed clearances by the Bombers landed the ball just outside the six-yard box. Barriere put it away in the far corner. Ò Lake Placid is always a tough place to play and I thought the guys did a good job of possessing the ball,Ó said Chazy Coach Rob McAuliffe. Ò It was a good win.Ó The Bombers played very physical all game but just couldnÕ t get things going on the offensive end with only three shots on goal. Chazy put ten shots on Lake Placid goalkeeper Noah Mohr. Ò With two less games this year, Chazy came two weeks early for our guys,Ó Lake Placid Coach Stuart Hemsley said. Ò Anytime the wind plays such a big role in the game it usually makes for poor matches. Chazy is the benchmark for menÕ s soccer in our area and we are getting better each year working towards that.Ó McAuliffe also noted that he was very pleased with how healthy his team is and how much his team has grown since last season.

The Eagles play a tough opponent in the Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport Griffins on Sept. 13 in at home in Chazy.

The circle of life The survival of a native species S

eptember 11 is a date that will long be remembered in the history of this country.

Similar to December 7, it is certain to be remembered as a date that will live in infamy.

The terrible tragedies that occurred on those horrible days will be forever etched in the national psyche, since they changed the world irrevocably.

It will never again be the same.

In contrast to these horrific events, it is startling to realize that so very little remembrance was afforded to an equally tragic day that also occurred during the month of September a little more than a hundred years ago. The sad centennial of that terrible moment in history recently passed by without so much as a mention, not even a nod in the national or world press.

There was no fanfare, or public mourning. There were no remembrance speeches from politicians, or throngs gathering in the streets to bemoan the loss. And yet the world has never been the same since that fateful day passed on September 1, 1914.

In fact, there was actually very little notice given on the very day that Martha died. No one mourned her death, even though she was the last surviving member of a race that had long been in the public eye. As it turned ouot, Martha was not a lady at all.

She was in fact, the very last passenger pigeon the world would ever know. She was the last of a vast breed that had once numbered in the billions, and yet she died alone on September 1, 1914. Although her relatives had darkened the skies for centuries, the Grand OldÕ Dame slipped silently away all alone, and nary a tear was shed.

At the time, the nation and the world were captivated by an onrushing conflict that would soon be called The Great War. It was breaking out all over Europe, and German submarines were sinking passenger vessels. Where was the tragedy in the loss of a single passenger pigeon; when humans were currently suffering and being killed? After all, it was just another damned bird.

Despite the fact that passenger pigeons were likely the most prolific breeders of all species on the planet, they simply could not fly fast enough to escape human persecution.

They once flew at speeds of over 70 mph and in 1868 a single flock was measured covering a land mass that stretched over a mile wide, and was 300 miles long. It darkened the skies for hours on end.

The entire flock, took 14 hours to pass, and was estimated to encompass over excess 3.5 billion birds. Estimates place the Passenger Pigeon populations once totaled nearly 5 billion birds, which was nearly 25 to 40% of the total bird population of North America.

Passenger pigeons were revered for their their speed, their beauty, and their incredible abundance. They are remembered today for their tragic demise, and the senseless slaughter that brought it about.

Although Audubon, a famous birder often marveled at their beauty, he preferred to use dead birds for his paintings and he proudly shot them himself . Pigeon shooting was great fun and it helped many young boys to develop the shooting skills that would later prove beneficial helpful to the nationÕ s military.

The passenger pigeon population was unending, there was simply no way to deplete it. Their meat was offerred in all the finest restaurants, and it was also used to slop the hogs.

Their feathers were used for hats, and often the rest was simply wasted.

Audubon once claimed, Ò The multitudes of Wild Pigeons

in our woods are astonishing. Indeed, after having viewed them so often, and under so many circumstances, I even now feel inclined to pause, and assure myself that what I am going to relate is fact. Yet I have seen it all, and that too in the company of persons who, like myself, were struck with amazement.Ó It was nearly a century ago that near-extinction of bison and the disappearance of the passenger pigeon served to bring about a national call for wildlife conservation.

Ornithologists such as Audubon and George Bird Grinnell published articles on the topic in a variety of outdoor magazines, and the great white hunter, Col. Townsend Whelen began a campaign to save the buffalo when he brough breeding stock to the New York Zoo, which later spawned the Wildlife Conservation Society.

In the eastern woods, populations of native species isuch as the beaver, black bear, whitetail deer and moose were also threatened with extinction. And yet, at the same time, buffalo were being exterminated in the Westas part of a Ô scorched earthÕ policy that intended to eradicate or at least civilize an untold number of Native American nations.

This seemingly unending combination of waste, war and wanton recreation served to subdue and extinguish an untold number of indigenous species during the late 19th and early 20th century.

Despite protections encompassed in efforts such as the Lacey Act of 1900 which sought to eliminate market hunting, as well as the Migratory Bird Conservation Act of 1929, and another landmark 1937 treaty which prohibited the hunting of right and gray whales; truly effective protection efforts remained on uneven ground until the Endangered Species Act was eventually signed by President Richard Nixon in 1973.

Shortly after he siigned the law, Nixon was to become an endangered species himself.

The Endangered Species Act, which was intended to Ò halt and reverse the trend toward species extinction, whatever the cost.Ó continues to be jointly administered by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) .

After a century of laws and continued abuse, the protections afforded to wildlife were nearly considered complete until just last year, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service brought forth a proposal to remove the gray wolf (Canis lupus) from the endangered species list, If successful the effort will likely remove many of the current restrictions that prohibit the hunting or trapping of these protected animals. The resulting battle has pitted a strong political lobby which seeks to maintain stateÕ s rights against sound science and mandatory protection The basis of the F&W AgencyÕ s decision to downlist gray wolves was a claim that the animals are no longer in need of protection since they have largely been Ò restoredÓ to there historic range.

The agencyÕ s decision was accepted despite sound, scientific evidence which indicates the gray wolf’’s historic range includes a large portion of the Northeastern United States, including the Adirondack Park and vast areas in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine , which accounts for nearly over 95 percent of their historic range In 2003, the United States Department of the Interior (DOI) established three distinct population segments (DPS) for the gray wolf, which encompass its entire historic range. At the same time, DOI down listed gray wolves from Ô endangeredÕ status to a Ô threatened speciesÕ in the Eastern and Western DPS. Protection may be considered a dirty word to some, especially when it interferes with economic development. The entire issue now appears to revolve around issues of semantics and Ô historic rangesÕ , rather than the actual need for protection It is truly unfortunate that a century has passed since the final Passenger Pigeon flew the coop, and we are still feuding over one of the most important matters on the planet, the ultimate survival of a native species at risk.

Officials from the various agencies involved remain embroiled in a war of semantics and they continue to question whether a proper reading is a Ò reasonable interpretationÓ or if Ò there is no single best interpretationÓ that will ensure that the remaining wolf pack will survive and remain under protection.

The entire fiasco makes me wonder how the human species has managed to survive at all. I say, Ò Call out the wolves and bring on the lawyers.Ó When it is all said and done, we will finally see which animal remains in its native range, and may the winner take all!

L

ast evening, I said to my wife, Ò maybe we should start a fire, it’s getting coolÓ . This morning at 6:30 am, the thermometer read 39 degrees, and its only September 13th. I may need to recalculate, reevaluate and resupply my wood shed with an extra cord or two!

If 39 degrees doesnÕ t convince you fall is coming, nothing will.

Fall is Harvest Season!

By Rich Redman Fall, is when we enter another phase of the circle of life. In fall we harvest; life ends.

Grass and alfalfa hay will be baled to feed both beef and dairy cows to give you meat, milk and cheese. Corn silage will be chopped to add energy to a cattleÕ s diet, adding weight to beef cows, while keeping dairy cows healthy for milk production and calving.

Soybeans will be roasted and stored. Corn grain has many uses, including being processed into ethanol, food and fuel.

Wheat, rye, buckwheat, and oats, along with other grains have been harvested to provide that mornings cereal and toast. Whether its whole grain cereals for breakfast or youÕ re just a fruit loops kind of guy, it is still grain that comes from the land.

Donuts are made from those grains! Doused with sugar that is grown in the south, it gets ground up and sprinkled on those, Ò right out of the fryerÓ donuts. You get them hot and ready, to take to work and share with fellow workers. Orchards not only serve you donuts and pies, but you can also get their specialty; apples.

Apples may be picked by Jamaican pickers. They are a marvel to work with. Some of the guys can hold five apples in their hand at once and pick like machines. Those apples are sold locally to give you fresh food. The apples are pressed to make cider, cooked in a pie, or just eaten as an apple, sliced with a pocket knife and enjoyed in the field or woods while working or hunting for fresh wild game.

Eggs and bacon from local chicken and hog producers provide your morningÕ s delicious protein. Potatoes are dug from the soil so you can fry up some home fries to go with those eggs and bacon or ham sliced thick and juicy. Potatoes also give us those famous Ò tator totsÓ , some of us love so much!

Oranges are picked to give you that morningÕ s juice, and vitamin C. Sugar maples are managed to provide light to the crown, so you get maple syrup to put on those pancakes and waffles you love on Sunday morning, Cows will become steaks, roasts and hamburger. Hogs will be bacon, breakfast sausage and pork chops. Chickens will be, simply chicken! Fish will be harvested from the sea and streams, and animals from the range, pastures and forests. Life to death!

Barley and hops are grown, so you can have a cold beer after a hard dayÕ s work.

Grapes are squeezed and juice fermented to give you wine. Grape juice gives the kids a purple smile! Strawberries, blue berries, and raspberries are picked to give you those antioxidants that keep your motor running smooth.

Green houses and high tunnels provide tomatoes, spinach and other greens to keep you healthy.

Fresh sweet corn, squash, pumpkins, green beans, peas, garlic, onions, celery and all those other fresh vegetables and fruits are available so we can fill the pantry. Canning jars will line the shelves.

Beans are harvested for canning or to make my favorite, onion, bacon and baked beans, served with homemade bread and butter and a slab of ham on the side. Now we are talking! Simple, real foods!

Herbs and flowers are picked to provide you with bountiful color and a natural scene on your kitchen table. Colorful flowers for a wedding or to give to loved ones, when a close ones passes. Flowers keep the bees alive. The bees pollinate our food keeping us alive.

Life and death!

Trees are cut to provide heat. A wood stove will keep the chill of Adirondack winters from chilling your bones. Trees also provide paper for a love letter or two and wood to build your dream home. Cut off acres provide habitat for wildlife.

Both domestic and wild animals will be harvested. Deer, grouse, pheasant, wild turkeys, and rabbits will be harvested from fields and woodlots. Perch, walleye, salmon and trout will be harvested naturally by hunters and fishermen. Fresh fish and venison steaks!

Things die, so we live!

Sunflowers are run through a combine to get rich, oily seed, to feed your birds.

Clean water is harvested from springs and wells, to supply you a refreshing drink.

Yes, fall is here, whether we like it or not.

We are part of that circle of life, and death.

Winter is the dormancy period, not quite death, but not quite alive, It will take the springÕ s sun and warming rains to start the circle once again. In spring we plant; life begins. In summer, the sun provides energy so things may grow. We harvest to live.

Soon the tractors will be running up and down the roads. Trucks will be hauling firewood, feed and manure. There will be mud in the road, slowed traffic and the smell of manure will permeate your nostrils. The sound of chainsaws will fill the air; the sound of forest grown fuel.

Cover crops will be planted to hold the soil and nutrients, and manure spread. Organic fertilizer! In spring, we start the circle once more. Life goes on. Life and death!

Quality food comes from quality soil and quality farmers. We have both. Keeping our farms and forests economically and environmentally sound are vitally important. Just as keeping our water clean for brook trout and maintaining wildlife habitat for all species is important.

It all fits together, like an ecological puzzle, if we want it too!

We are all part of that circle of life.

Poll

From page 1 591 likely voters, found broad bipartisan support for Congressional term limits, minimum wage, immigration reform and enacting the so-called Buffet Rule, or applying a minimum income tax of 30 percent on millionaires.

The Affordable Care Act has continued to polarize voters, with Republicans and a plurality of independents supporting a repeal and Democrats in favor of sustaining the controversial health care law.

The view that the United States should focus on domestic issues rather than doing more in Syria and Iraq to combat terrorism, a question posted prior to President Barack ObamaÕ s speech on Wednesday that escalated American involvement in the conflict, also had strong bipartisan appeal, a viewpoint supported by 52 percent of Republicans, 57 percent of independents and 60 percent of Democrats.

CANDIDATE REACTIONS Ò Since launching her campaign over a year ago, EliseÕ s message of new ideas and a new generation of leadership has resonated with voters across New YorkÕ s 21st District,Ó said Stefanik spokesman Lenny Alcivar in a statement. Ò Elise will continue her campaignÕ s focus on meeting with voters and on communicating her commonsense, positive vision for a stronger future for the North CountryÕ s hard working families, small businesses, military veterans and farmers,Ó he said.

Woolf expressed similar sentiments. Ò I will continue to work hard to talk with as many voters as I can about ways we can work together to create jobs, grow the middle class, and boost the North CountryÕ s economy,Ó he said in a statement. Ò Our momentum is building.Ó Funiciello said the results reflected a victory for “a non-corporate, grassroots funded campaign.Ó Ò When you think how much the corporate candidates have spent compared with us, weÕ re starting at 10 percent and weÕ ve

havenÕ t spent a fraction of their campaigns,Ó he said in a release on Friday. Ò Voters are fed up with the two corporate parties funded by millionaires.Ó Funiciello said his campaign is aligned with the wishes of the voters more so than his two opponents, including public jobs programs, single-payer universal health care and ending an emphasis on foreign wars while focusing on rebuilding at home.

STATE OF THE RACE After JuneÕ s bruising Republican primary, the race went into hibernation for most of the summer before Woolf and Stefanik began sparring over several bold-faced issues last month, namely Medicare, Social Security and the Affordable Care Act. Outside groups and the national congressional committees have also jumped in, injecting a series of mostly-trivial non-stories into the campaign, from how candidates would have voted in elections outside of the district to issues of gender and personal income.

Stefanik and Woolf have engaged in similar strategies, crisscrossing the district meeting with voters, touring small businesses, attending fundraisers and hosting the occasional public event.

Funiciello, who has a significant fundraising disadvantage, has continued to work at his bakery in Glens Falls while making the occasional trips around the district.

On Sunday, heÕ ll be joined by former presidential candidate Ralph Nader and Green Party gubernatorial candidate Howie Hawkins in Glens Falls.

The candidate said he has drawn inspiration from viewings of An Unreasonable Man, a 2006 documentary about Nader, as well as studying the trajectory of Jesse Ventura, the professional wrestler who went from the ring to the Minnesota Governor’s office. Ò These are the models I wanted to follow: honest and commonsense ideas,Ó said Funiciello.

Like Ventura, who was elected in 1998, Funiciello said he hoped the three televised debates, which are scheduled for October, will propel him to victory.

Ò These 360 degree images, while certainly canÕ t replicate the real thing, are a perfect way to showcase our gorgeous Adirondack product to new visitors.Ó Joannette stressed the image-heavy app, which contains almost zero descriptive copy, wonÕ t affect SEO results and compete with existing regional destination websites.

September 20, 2014 X-FACTORS Greenberg said anything could happen in the seven weeks until the general election on Nov. 4.

The candidates are still relatively unknown, with nearly half of voters saying they havenÕ t seen a Woolf commercial or been contacted by his campaign.

Nearly 40 percent say the same about the Stefanik campaign. Ò Stefanik has not closed the deal with voters and this race is far from over, particularly since only about one-third of voters say they are absolutely certain to stick with their current choice,Ó said Greenberg. Ò Both candidates have growth potential as they become more known to voters and as voters focus on the issues in the campaign.Ó Funiciello said this bodes well for his campaign.

“Democrats, Republicans and Independents find us equally favorable and they barely know us yet. The same canÕ t be said for people who know Stefanik and Woolf. To have spent so much money and still not be above 46 percent in EliseÕ s case, or 33 percent in AaronÕ s is shocking,Ó he wrote. Ò IÕ m the only candidate who will pull equally well from Independents, Democrats and Republicans, and the results of the debates are going to shock the district and the country.Ó Another question is the extent to which campaign Funiciello damages more with his resurgent candidacy, StefanikÕ s or WoolfÕ s.

In 2010, Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman remained on the ballot after losing the GOP primary to Matt Doheny, a Watertown-based businessman who Stefanik also handily defeated in June.

In that race, Doheny lost to Owens by 4,000 votes. Hoffman, running on the Conservative line, took 9,000 votes, a factor Doheny later attributed to his loss.

This year, while Stefanik has the Republican and Conservative Party ballot lines, Doheny remains on the Independence Line.

He endorsed Stefanik earlier this summer, promising his full support.

Three televised debates are scheduled to be held in October, with the exact details still being hammered out.

portions of Franklin and Hamilton counties can opt in for a spin. ROOST will dispatch photographers to capture their venues. Other parties within the Blue Line can also get involved, but the cost jumps to $200.

Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston was impressed: Ò This is exactly what we need to stay ahead of the competition,Ó he said. Ò Places like New Hampshire, the Catskills and Vermont.Ó ROOST has also spent much of the year quietly engaging in the destination master planning process, working with towns around the region to explore options for boosting their tourist economies.

Part of that process involves binding towns across Essex County together into districts that will play off their strengths and weaknesses. Ò Our challenge is facilities,Ó McKenna told

Essex County lawmakers last month. Ò We have facilities in some of our towns that handle visitation. But until we get critical mass, thatÕ s what drives visitation and economic impact. ThatÕ s something we donÕ t solve overnight. We have to figure out what towns want: Do they want to use tourism is a growth angle? ThatÕ s something our organization is going to get more aggressive on over time.Ó On Thursday, he encouraged attendees to assist the agency by taking a survey to gauge the shopping scene in their communities. Ò The worst thing we can have are empty storefronts. Times are changing. And the best thing we can do is get in front of it.Ó To take a spin, visit adirondacksusa.com.

True character shown in Ti

I

September 20, 2014

t is often said that true character is not revealed until a time of crisis.

This can be true of individuals, but it can also be true of entire communities. It has been shown time and again throughout the North Country as communities band together in times of hardship to take care of each other.

The case of St. MaryÕ s School is the most recent example of this. In the late evening hours of Sept.

5, a teacher who was working late to help enhance the educational experience of her class heard noises and investigated, finding a hallway full of smoke. Thankfully, the teacher was able to escape and call for help, but the ensuing fire caused massive damage inside the 59-year-old Catholic elementary and middle school.

The concern for the future of the school was immediate. Among the tears and sorrow for loss was a determination to resume the education of the 100-plus students who call St. MaryÕ s home. Within hours, Father Kevin McEwan said the fire would not mean the end of St. Mary’s. Into the early morning hours of Sept. 6, hundreds of people lined the streets offering not only their well wishes to the members of the staff who also stood and watched as events unfolded, but their services to make things right.

Character was shown that night, as fire departments from throughout the region arrived on scene to attempt to save the building. Several members of the local departments, which included Ticonderoga, Hague, Chilson, Putnam, Crown Point and Port Henry among others, had worn the St. MaryÕ s uniform and shield. There were tears shed, but there were also hands offered the next day to start the cleanup process. Impressive considering these fire fighters had spent two straight nights responding to emergency calls that lasted well into the morning hours. They all deserve commendation for the work they did, all as volunteers in their communities.

More character was shown by the members of the St. MaryÕ s staff, who quickly went to work determined to get their students back to school. As it has been said several times, the fact that students were back to school on Monday, Sept. 15, in their new homes at St. MaryÕ s Church and the Ticonderoga First United Methodist Church, is nothing short of a miracle. Teachers and community members worked tirelessly to make sure classrooms were painted, chairs were organized and lessons were ready to be given and received. There is no price tag that could be put on the amount of extra work these people did. Their reward came in the faces of students excited to return to school and reunite with teachers and classmates. Their own smiles and determination throughout the trying ordeal was a source of strength for community members.

The community showed an outpouring of support to the school, whether it came from Ticonderoga Central School, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, many of the local businesses or individuals determined to help bring St. MaryÕ s back. When students returned to school, they had everything they could need and then some, as community members donated supplies to replace those the youth had brought in for their original first day of school two days prior to the fire. The halls of the First United Methodist Church were filled with books for all ages as people donated to help rebuild a library that was taken out by fire. Local contractors helped to build and wire the new school rooms to meet the needs of the teachers. An online fundraising page was set up which has raised over $17,000 to date.

All rallied around this school which was the victim of what has been deemed a suspicious fire.

Police continue to investigate the matter, and we hope people will give them the space and time they need. We need to remember that in the real world, crime analysis and investigation does not get wrapped up in one hour prime time television show segments. If anything, we want the authorities working as deliberately as they can to ensure the outcome they come to leads to the proper conclusions and, if needed, justice.

For the North Country, though, this is nothing new. Communities rally around those who fall on hard times through illness offering benefit events to help families.

The entire North Country rallied after Tropical Storm Irene battered the region, destroying houses and causing massive flooding throughout the region. In the days following the storm, communities banded together to help others clean out the mud that had gone from the riverbeds and into their bedrooms, pick up the pieces of homes carried downstream by the raging waters, and offer food and encouragement to those who were short on both.

Hopefully, events like this will not happen as frequently in the future. But, if they do, it is nice to know we live in a region that has our backs. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Suggestion in editorial ludicrous To the Editor: The recent Valley News editorial advocating a new bridge across Lake Champlain is a terrible proposal. Citing the crowded and congested highway to Key West as a shining example to repeat here is tragically ignorant - I speak from experience, having endured decades in Florida. Community life has often been devastated by new bridges and highways. The tragic history (for example, Staten Island, NY) is readily available online. I think the people of Vermont are aware of the quality of life impact associated with another bridge across Lake Champlain. Most probably have no interest in turning more of their state into overdeveloped traffic nightmares.

Asserting that a bridge would be better for the environment assumes that only the current ferry traffic would transition to the bridge. That ignores the inevitable increase in vehicular traffic, as travel becomes easier and cheaper for drivers. More traffic will require widening feeder roads, ‘upgrading’ intersections with traffic lights and only encourage more ugly development, such as strip malls. Air pollution and energy usage would significantly increase. Bridges also pollute through vehicular oil and chemical spills that eventually runoff into the lake. A new two-mile bridge would have a huge impact on the coastal and water ecology of Lake Champlain. These externalized costs are assumed by future generations who have to manage the consequences of our actions.

Stating that Plattsburgh has a Ò dearth of good shoppingÓ is rather dismissive of the numerous businesses downtown and along the outskirts of the city. Some shopping may be better in Burlington, but are you seriously suggesting that the citizens of NY pay for a bridge to take business - and tax revenue - away from our state? Anyway, has our culture descended to a point where we expect government to assume more debt (again, burdening future generations) to provide us with a better shopping experience?

Finally, your editor should have a better command of the written language. Editorial sentences shouldnÕ t be fragmented, and interrogative sentences deserve question marks. I hope our political leaders on both sides of the lake donÕ t take advice from someone who confuses Ô theyÕ reÕ with Ô theirÕ !

Frank Pagano, Elizabethtown

Bullying A National Concern

O

ctober is National Bullying Prevention Month in America. It doesnÕ t matter where you live or how wealthy you are, you may have been the victim of bullying.

In 2012, over 3.5 million students were the victims of bullying. Moreover, almost 200,000 teenagers intentionally miss school to avoid being bullied. Almost 20 percent of American students

By Scot Hurlburt reported being bullied 2 to 3 times a month or more within a school semester.

Nationally, 73 percent of American students report bullying as a substantial problem at their school. Over 90 percent of students in 4th through eighth grade report being victims, and just over 1 in 10 students drop out of school because of repeated and unchecked bullying at their school.

As boys get older, they become less and less sympathetic towards victims of bullying and frequently contribute to the problem.

Adk. Foundation can help To the Editor: Paying for college is one of the most consistent and persistent financial challenges faced by students and families across the Adirondack region. With higher education costs rising, the role of philanthropy in helping our young people realize their dreams is more important than ever.

Adirondack Foundation is proud to partner with the Bruce L. Crary Foundation, which provides grants of $600 to $1,000 to support students from more than 40 high schools in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, and Warren counties based on financial need and merit. To learn more about the Crary Foundation, we encourage you to contact Jim Kinley at (518) 873-6496 or director@craryfoundation.org.

Douglas Scholarship, the Nash Williams/Founding Families Scholarship, the Tyler Leidig Summer Basketball Camp Scholarship, the Howard V. Littell Scholarship, the Brian Muldowney Memorial Scholarship, the Alice and Paul Grulich Memorial Scholarship, the Alberta P.

Literacy services important To the Editor: As the new school year begins, our focus turns to education.

While young students return to school, millions of American middle school and declines in high school. Verbal abuse and intimidation remain constant across all age groupings. While the aforementioned statistics appear to point an accusing finger at schools, I believe that bullying very often occurs at school because this is where children come together every day of the school years.

More importantly, the face of bullying and the attendant behaviors have changed. Over the last twenty years, bullying evolved from predominantly acts of physical aggression or dominance over victims to more complex psychological warfare tactics.

Physical abuse or aggression by bullies was obvious and easily identified and adults could reasonably and predictably intervene. Now, youth utilize psychological methods and social snubs to attack their peers. Researchers are calling these psychological methods Ô Ó gateway behaviors.Ó If these behaviors can be addressed, they will not develop into bullying. Essentially the behaviors are displays of contempt or exclusion to let the victim know how poorly they are thought of by their classmates.

Alone, expressions like eye-rolling, for example, may be seen as benign. But the sum total of their effects on the victim can be devastating. The challenge for adults is to determine if behaviors between children are bullying or teasing or the result of a disagreement between two children.

A backdrop for these determinations should be identifying the three main elements of bullying relationships between children.

I believe that schools have set clear and unwavering expecta-

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 LibraryÓ .

We thank our valued volunteers and invite others to join our mission for a literate community. Tutor Training Orientation will be held in Plattsburgh September 10th and October 1st; Port Henry September 25th; Malone October 2nd; and Lake Placid October 14th.

There is no cost to the learner. We invite all to spread the word to those in need of literacy services É and about our Ò Imagination LibraryÓ .

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

Movies and real life To the Editor: In the movie Ó Wag the DogÓ , the U.S. presidentÕ s popularity rating is dropping as fast as his pants (no pun intended) after he is caught in a sexual encounter with an underage ”Firefly Girl.”

In order to repair the damage and to divert attention from the issue of his infidelity, his spin doctors quickly manufacture a phony war with Albania -- because no one knows anything about Albania or Albanians. Sure enough, the Nation unites behind the president in a burst of sudden patriotism and he wins re-election in a landslide.

In the movie Ó Election Year 2014Ó , the U.S. presidentÕ s declining popularity rating is dragging down DemocratsÕ election prospects for the November elections. In order to divert attention from the real issues Ð amnesty for, and favored treatment of illegal Mexicans, politically-motivated undeserved minimum wage increases for union allies, and handouts to Wall Street such as the so-called Ó Jobs ActÓ -- his spin doctors quickly manufacture a phony war with ISIS. Although no one had ever heard of ISIS a few weeks earlier, the media quickly turns ISIS into a household word for bad guys out to get the U.S. Sure enough, the Nation unites behind the president in a burst of sudden patriotism and his partyÕ s ratings rise as the election nears.

The characters change, but the plotÕ s always the same.

I guess allÕ s fair in an election year David Safrany Half Moon Bay, Calif.

tions about physical aggression or behavior. There is zero tolerance for physical abuse and the challenge for adults is to set these same expectations for psychological bullying.

A key factor is creating a culture everyone in the school and community is responsible for stopping the bully. Bullying relies on silence, that silence must be replaced by school wide and community wide awareness and discussions about bullying that result in culture change.

The good news is that I believe that it is possible to make these culture-wide changes.

The national attitude about tobacco use, for example, took many years to change from a normative behavior to a common agreement that tobacco use was unacceptable.

Once a common understanding and agreement about bullying is achieved, the national mentality will shift and the change will start to occur more rapidly.

There are still many Americans that believe that bullying is just part of growing up, a Ò rite of passage.Ó Still others believe that bullying Ò helps kids to toughen up.Ó Some adults believe that bullying is Ò kidsÕ stuffÓ and adults need to let them work it together. When all these beliefs have been vanquished to irrelevance, the great majority of adults and then children will believe that bullying is wrong and unacceptable and bullying will be greatly reduced and millions of young American children will be spared the abuse that they are now suffering ion a daily basis.

Remember, all kids count.
