Feelin’ Long Lakey

Annual events seeks to raise $4,000

Reserve accounts set for Johnsburg Highway

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

JOHNSBURG — There’s no money in them yet, but Town of Johnsburg officials have established two new reserve accounts for the Highway Department, one for bridge expenses and another for equipment.

The measure came after Highway Superintendent Dan Hitchcock voiced concerns over the annual depletion of highway funds.

“It never stays there, it’s gone back to reduce taxes,” he said of money left in what was the sole account for highway funds being transferred back to the town’s general fund each year.

Hitchcock said it made it impossible to save for large expenses.

“How can I when it takes three years to save for a truck? It’s expensive, you have to accumulate over the years,” he said.

A larger expense was handed to town officials last month, as well, in the form of an engineering report calling for the repair or replacement of four bridges expected to cost an estimated $750,000.

Town officials discussed the likely need to borrow money to pay for the necessary work as one bridge in particular, the Garnet Lake Road Bridge, was deemed in danger of imminent collapse.

Cycle ADK returning to Indian Lk. as part of 2016 route

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

KEESEVILLE — It’s eight months away, but the excitement is already building for the 2016 Cycle Adirondacks tour.

The route for the week-long event, which returns in August after its successful debut last year, was unveiled last week by the Wildlife Conservation Society.

The event, which was broadcast live from the Adirondack Architectural Heritage office, drew views from around the globe.

“We’ve had incredible feedback,” said Doug Haney, event manager.

Less than a week later, cyclists from 18

different states and British Columbia had already registered for the tour which takes place Aug. 20-27.

It’s not just the cyclists who are eagerly awaiting the event. Officials and residents along the tour will be preparing to welcome the guests in their communities.

“Cycle Adirondacks had such a positive influence,” said Mark Hall, former town supervisor of Fine, where cyclists traveled last year. “Economically it was a real boost, but even more importantly was that it brought our community together in a way that nothing else has – it galvanized our pride in where we live, and that effect has lasted beyond the event.” >> Story Continued | pg. 7

Christmas Bazaar time in Minerva

By Mike Corey

news@suncommunitynews.com

MINERVA — There was no snow on the ground the afternoon of Dec. 4 in Minerva, but who needs snow when you’ve got a gymnasium full of people who are there to have a great time and enjoy an amazing holiday celebration.

That was indeed the case at Minerva Central School as the community came together in a big way to enjoy the 50th Annual Minerva Christmas Bazaar.

The theme of the bazaar was “Golden Memories,” with gold an appropriate color given the 50-year anniversary connection.

The MCS gymnasium was alive with plenty of music, plenty of Christmas decorations, lots of food and beverage and, above all, a wonderful holiday feeling enjoyed by the crowds who came to the school that afternoon and evening.

The event this year was hosted by the Minerva Service Organization, with help from many other local groups and individuals. The doors to both the gym and cafeteria opened at 4:30 p.m., and the crowds came and stayed until 7:30 p.m.

In between there was dinner hosted by Lynn Green and Bev West, a visit from the MCS Select Chorus under the direction of Sabrina LaPointe, Denise Conti’s North Country Singers, the tree lighting by Citizen of the Year Dave LaBar and the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus by way of a Minerva Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad fire engine. This latter event triggered plenty of excitement in the gymnasium, as kids and adults lined up for the Santa visit.

Throughout this terrific evening there were door prize and raffle prize drawings, numerous vendor sales, and the Minerva memory tree.

The Cozy Café was there, along with something new: Grace Savarie’s Kids Activity Table featuring puppet show events.

There are many people who each played an overall important part to the success of the Christmas Bazaar, including Paul Clickner for donating the Christmas tree, Kate Smith and Jake Hitchcock for lighting that tree, and Charlotte McClain for providing table centerpieces.

Planning Advisory Committee to focus on primary areas MINERVA — Since its inception earlier this fall, the Minerva Strategic Planning Advisory Committee has continued its work to recommend positive action and planning for Minerva Central School. The group has been tasked by the MCS Board of Education with analyzing feedback from several school-and communitybased groups in order to assess the district’s current strengths and needs, and to make recommendations for a specific action plan to address future improvements.

The three primary areas of need for this phase of the project were identified as community culture and partner-

ship, education/instruction and student achievement, and fiscal health and responsibility. Through the work of the Planning Committee, goals have been created in each of the three areas and action steps identified in order to achieve the goals. Once the action plans have been completed, they will be formally presented to the MCS Board for approval.

The group recommends strengthening its community relationship by incorporating community groups into school activities and get more students involved in local activities outside of school. They hope to promote the school as a community center and develop a reciprocal relationship for the benefit of the school, its students, and families in the

area. Understanding the demographics, interests and needs of the local residents is crucial to this endeavor, as it will provide for targeted programs, services and events that will be relevant to the greater community.

As is increasingly the case throughout the Adirondacks and other areas of New York State, financial health is of great concern to Minerva Central School. In order to improve the fiscal health of the district, the planning committee acknowledges the importance of expanding public awareness of the current fiscal situation in light of the educational needs of the students. In addition, it is suggested that the district continue to explore opportunities for shared services, explore other sources of revenue and

advocate for increased state aid.

Perhaps the most important goal that the advisory committee has identified is continuing to improve educational opportunities and student achievement. If the Board of Education accepts the plan, a review will be conducted of current student performance data and existing programs and offerings so that the group may identify opportunities that need to be created and/or re-established.

If deemed appropriate, alternative solutions for the educational program will also be explored. The committee recognizes that parent awareness of, and participation in, all aspects of the educational program is crucial to the success of students, and ultimately, the district.

Warm Wishes

his time of year we all think about others and putting a smile on the faces of those we love. Many feel even happier when they can create that smile for a perfect stranger.

Giving and caring are the hallmarks of our nation. Despite the often combative and competitive nature of people in the media spotlight these days, beneath the visible crust is a nation of everyday people, going about their lives doing the small things that make our nation special.

The holidays are all about hope, faith and love. It’s a time for giving and receiving, a time for friends and family and it’s a time to remember the true meaning of the season. For many it’s about how a small child born in a manger over 2000 years ago changed our world forever with a simple message.

We hear a lot these days about apostasy, which is the term given to people turning away from any religious affiliation. For years we’ve heard the cry about the commercialization of Christmas and the effect it was having on the reason for season.

The reality of life and religion can not be classified by terms or affiliations. Jesus made it very clear. Religion is all about how we care for each other and how we take care of those who are in need.

He didn’t care what you called yourself, your state of life nor your position in society. In his eyes, all were equal.

Religion is more about what’s in your heart and how you conduct your life which is why this is a season for all men and women of goodwill; Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Atheist or Agnostic.

Practicing an organized faith works perfectly for many Americans, but at the end of time we will all be judged not by our affiliation but by how we conducted our affairs here on earth.

Gifting friends and family and treating them with respect throughout the year is important but how we choose to treat and respect the perfect strangers we come across says more about who you are than anything else you do.

So let’s not get too caught up in all the crazy stuff we hear flying around in the media pitting one against another. We need to stay focused on making our world a better place every minute of every day. If we do that, everything else will take care of itself.

On behalf of the Sun Community News & Printing staff and family I would like to wish you, your family and your community a very joyous and safe holiday, a prosperous new year and wish that we are all granted lives of joy, peace and caring.

May God bless us all.

What makes our tiny communities so special is you

E

very year is busy.

This has been no exception.

Alongside the heavy-duty events that have recalibrated our national discourse — fear is in, economic concerns have taken a backseat — several local stories have emerged that will make likely make 2015 more memorable for historians.

Two killers escaped from Dannemora, leading to a three-week manhunt that held the region captive and brought the nation’s attention to our otherwise sedate doorstep.

We’ve seen the shocking fall of state and local officials, including those who have held hallowed roles right here in our very own backyards.

Our local athletic teams came close to statewide victory, with most falling heartbreakingly short.

Controversy swirled as a college attempted to rename themselves after a donor, giving birth to another round of impassioned discussion that has come to characterize North Country discourse.

The seeds have been planted for sweeping statewide legislation, including minimum wage reform.

Voters headed to the polls in local elections, dashing dreams and giving birth to others.

Several legendary local leaders have retired.

One village has dissolved and another has voted to follow in its footsteps.

Fires have reshaped neighborhoods. Businesses have come and gone. Local emergency squads have pulled themselves back from the brink. And the tax cap continues to reshape life here in a place where life has never come easy.

And of course, this weekly newspaper has seen our own rebranding, our own sun rising, casting rays over this dynamic, always-interesting landscape.

Perhaps this is all just business as usual: The days creep by and some changes appear to be more sweeping than others.

But the biggest stories this year are yours.

We’re always amazed at the North Country’s penchant for helping others — Ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

You. We’re inspired and moved by your selfless efforts.

This year, we’ve witnessed schools being reborn from ash in Ticonderoga.

We’ve watched as committed volunteers have raised barns from once-fallow fields in Essex; constructed community pavilions from donations in Wadhams; reignited dreams in Newcomb and created civic institutions from the recesses of their memories in Keeseville.

You stepped to the plate to salvage a field trip to Washington, D.C. after a roaming charlatan raided your trust.

We sat back in awe as teachers and student associations stuck up for alienated students.

You’ve rallied for teachers across the region and walked alongside an educator from Saranac Lake to Albany in her quest to remedy injustice.

You have filled food pantries, adopted children, started charitable programs, helped drug-addicted prison inmates, filled backpacks with food and stepped forward to fill vacant positions in all manner of civic organizations, from fire departments to ambulance squads.

You have raised thousands for local families in need, constructed libraries in neglected communities and breathed technicolor into sleepy locales by way of regular cultural series.

As public officials, you’ve have made it rain for your constituents. Through your efforts, funds have come in to raise the quality of life for those who

haven’t always had a voice.

Communities have been linked in, wired and drawn closer to the world.

We’ve slimmed down and have been enticed into making healthier lifestyle choices.

As religious leaders, you’ve guided your flocks through these turbulent times. You’ve brought us closer to a moral center through both word and deed, including selfless acts like offering tickets to Pope Francis during his historic trip to the US. As veterans, you have humbly recounted stories from the battlefield, from the fronts of Europe to the scorched earth of Vietnam, while asking for nothing in return.

And as just regular folks, you’ve inspired us.

It’s been an interesting year. But only because of you.

Thanks and happy holidays.

See you in 2016.

ItÕ sÊ coolÊ today...

To the editor: Honoring a 20-year-old promise (or was it a dare?) to perform in Harold Pinter’s first play, “The Room,” I’ve spent much of November in The Wooster Group’s Performing Garage in New York City, longing for home. Each week the “Leaving Adirondack Park” sign in Queensbury gets me down. I signed on to the project last year, as a commitment to the experimental theater company I was part of for many years. So here I am, writing the Upper Jay Art Center’s end-of year fundraising appeal from a noisy railroad flat on the Lower East Side. If I were younger, this would be really cool.

But I’m not younger. Cool today, for my money, is a sweaty crowd dancing to a 13-piece Latin orchestra at The Recovery Lounge. (Thank you, Peg Wilson and Bob Andrews.) Cool is Maeve and Zoe Brammer bravely joining the cast of 16 in Caryl Churchill’s play “Love and Information,” directed

by James Coleman. Cool is watching Liza Amirault growing up each year behind the microphone at the January Jams. And major cool is running into my pal Frank Owen at Stewart’s on a sunny day, laughing about a brief, brief-less appearance as King Lear I have been begging him to make at the Lounge someday (another dare).

I am pleased to be using the phrase “10th anniversary” for the last time.

It’s been a banner year, starting with grilled cheese sandwiches, beer, and Peter Landau’s brilliant public audition as a stubborn opossum. Thank you to everyone who participated in our 10th anniversary fundraising campaign-to those who gave, those who came, and those who gave again. It never stops, this asking for help. Think of it as a gift to the community. Your way to support the place where we gather to celebrate, relax and recover.

That would be cool.

QuitÊ smokingÊ forÊ NewÊ YearÕ s To the editor: Thinking About Quitting for the New Year?

If you are a smoker thinking about quitting for the New Year, here are a few things you can do to before New Year’s Day to increase your chances of quitting for good.

1) Talk to your doctor or counselor – many North Country providers have made treating tobacco dependence a priority and are ready to help you be successful.

2) Ask about medications that can help – using medication can double your chances of becoming a former smoker. Even if you’ve tried a medication before and think it didn’t work, talk to your doctor about it anyway.

There may be new options you can try.

3) Call the NYS Smokers’ Quitline at 866-NY-Quits – you’ll be able to talk to a cessation counselor who can help you make a plan, plus you may be eligible for a free 2-week supply of the nicotine patch.

4) Visit BecomeAnEX.org – this is a great website that can help you prepare to “become an ex.”

5) Identify your triggers and have a plan for dealing with those when your quit day arrives - each time you light up a cigarette, notice how you are feeling and what’s happening around you. What time is it? How strong is the urge? Write it down. After a couple of days, review what you have written and think about what you will do instead, starting New Year’s Day, when those moments or scenarios arise.

6) Tell family and friends about your resolution – find the people who will be supportive, and make a plan for being around people who may trigger an urge to smoke.

Whether you decide to quit for New Year’s, or another day, remember that quitting for good is tough, but very possible with some planning, medication and support.

Ann Morgan, project coordinator North Country Healthy Heart Network Saranac Lake

GratitudeÊ goesÊ toÊ theÊ wholeÊ community To the editor: We cannot begin to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in The Magic of Christmas in Essex this year.

WeÊ stuffed-a-bus!!

To the editor: Many thanks to everyone who supported our efforts to support the Ticonderoga Food Pantry Saturday, Dec. 5, at the Ticonderoga Walmart store.

Whether you purchased goods to help stock the shelves of the food pantry or if you made a cash donation, your support is very much appreciated.

Thank you for your generosity, especially now during the holiday season.

Thanks to your support, we were able to fill a full-size school bus with food for the food pantry. In addition, we were able to collect $920 in cash donations, also for the food pantry. We never cease to be amazed by the generosity of the citizens of our community.

A special “thank you” goes out to Alex Smith and Jay Wells, the faculty advisors who organized this event. They reserved the school bus and organized the student volunteers who handed out flyers at Walmart and encouraged shoppers to help support the food pantry. Last, but most certainly not least, many thanks to all of the student volunteers who took time away from their Saturday to come out and help everyone to stuff-the-bus.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Wind-up toys Gordie Little

Columnist

H

as anyone ever said, “You’re really wound up today”? It happens. It’s that time of year when you’d like to just crawl under the Christmas tree and take a nap.

We’re supposed to be joyful, but the world is in such a state of being wound up and messed up, that it’s not so easy.

I’ll try to lighten it up a bit.

Unwind. Relax. Count your blessings, one by one, to quote a line from a great song. Travel back in time, if you will, to far less hectic days when toys didn’t have batteries. Yes, there was a time when you didn’t have to worry whether you had enough double A’s or triple A’s or regulars or lithiums or whatever.

Remember when the best toy under the tree was mechanical with a key sticking out? I do. The best toy I ever had was the only toy I got one year, because that’s the way it was back then. It was a wind up tank--a replica of the famous Sherman tank. It was awesome.

My tank had rubber treads.

You turned the key until it couldn’t turn any more. There was a lever you pushed to start it up. It could climb over mountains of books. It could move up a slope so steep, it would finally tip over.

Inside was a clockwork motor tough enough to withstand the fat hands of little Gordie Little. We would put the cat in a tiny wagon and hook it up to the tank which would tow it across the floor as long as the long-suffering kitty would sit still. What fun.

How long has it been since you wound up anything but yourself? For me, it’s only been a few days. My weekly ritual includes winding my clocks and there are many. Kaye or I will sometimes wind up a music box from her collection and listen to the melody. But, we’d have to search drawers to find wind-up toys from when our brood was young.

I awoke with that thought this morning. If I wanted to buy wind-up toys, could I find them on the Internet? The answer is a resounding YES. I took a trip down memory lane and typed “wind-up toys” into my favorite search engine. There they were, available for old codgers like me to goggle over, and for a new generation who has never known such things existed.

I couldn’t find Sherman tanks, but I did come across a chicken that wiggled across the floor and laid eggs. Come to think of it, I believe I know a drawer in our hutch containing a wind-up purple Papa Smurf.

It might be too late for you to pick some up this year, but, it’s a good exercise to remember back to a day before you put batteries into anything except a flashlight.

Hitchcock displayed a chart he’d drawn up, based on his findings since 2012.

Since then, to include money transferred for the 2016 budget, $369,076 came out of the highway fund to reduce taxes, while $84,000 was taken from the town’s general fund.

“What I learned in my comptroller’s courses, is this isn’t how we should do it,” said Hitchcock.

Supervisor Ron Vanselow was elected in 2011, but Hitchcock said the practice of taking money back each year has been going on far longer.

Vanselow said each year since 2012 has been a little different, sometimes due to the superstorms.

Waiting for a payment from FEMA can make the account look low. “It’s what we loaned the federal government,” he said. Once replenished, it can falsely look like an increase in revenue if it falls into the following budget year.

Vanselow said not every year showed a dip into highway funds.

“Looking at back budgets, in 2014, we budgeted $108,000 and ended up with $161,000 in it,” he said.

Hitchcock’s records show $108,780 was taken back that year.

“It’s unfortunate, but I think the bridges opened their eyes,” said Hitchcock of town board members faced with the large repair bill and not enough funds to cover it.

That eye opening, however, wasn’t immediate.

Town Board Member Peter Olasheski commented $40,000 appropriated to the highway department hadn’t been spent yet.

Town Board Member Kate Nightengale stated she didn’t like giving a bunch of money just to spend wherever Hitchcock would like.

That fear is unwarranted, said Hitchcock, explaining that he must follow the law in filling out a 284 Agreement, which must be signed, and filed before moneys are spent.

“They don’t understand what they are doing when they sign off on the 284 agreement, nor do they know about the procurement policy where I can only spend $700, then the bookkeeper or supervisor has to sign off before I can purchase what I need,” he said. “You know what I can get for $700? One tire.”

Vanselow said they have not yet determined how much will go into the accounts.

“It’s all based on communication,” said Vanselow. “When we find out what he wants and needs, we respond. We respond favorably,” noting all such transfers come after “a healthy discussion.”

In Old Forge, officials reported seeing participants from the 2015 tour return to other events during the year, after learning the many wonderful things the area has to offer.

The 2016 route starts and ends in Lake Luzerne with overnight stops in Ticonderoga, Keeseville, Saranac Lake, Indian Lake and Northville. A layover day in Saranac Lake gives riders an optional route touring Lake Placid or a day off their bikes to enjoy the amenities available in the Olympic Region.

Some participants may choose a three- or four-day route, instead of the week-long option, beginning in Lake Luzerne and ending in Saranac Lake, with transportation provided back to the start.

For non-cyclists, a program called Cycle Adirondacks Adventure Travelers, offers outdoor activities and wildlife interpretation each day and reuniting with the cyclists in camp each evening.

Haney recalled some unexpected experiences from last year, which attracted riders from 29 states and Canada. Noticing participants wearing wooden medals, he inquired about them.

“You’re the organizer, don’t you know?” answered one of the riders.

Community members had greeted every rider with the gifts, unbeknownst to Haney.

It’s that sort of welcome that shows off the heart of the Adirondacks.

“Our inaugural event (last year) was a resounding success because every community welcomed our cyclists as family. That is not something you can script into a cycling tour. It was genuine and is what will continue to make Cycle Adirondacks special,” Haney said.

The News Enterprise Sun • December 26, 2015 | 7

Post-event surveys showed 99 percent of riders rated the event highly positively and would recommend it to others. In addition, 98 percent said they are likely to visit the Adirondacks again, with 100 percent saying they will tell others to visit. Roughly half the participants had never visited the Adirondack Park before the 2015 tour.

“WCS created the eco-tourism event to provide a world-class, fully supported cycling adventure that gives hundreds of riders the opportunity to enjoy the Adirondack Park’s natural and recreational resources,” Haney said in a press release.

Cycle Adirondacks enlists local volunteer groups to help stage the event in each community, offering community grants as a fund-raiser for each organization involved. WCS distributed nearly $50,000 in community grants last year.

Information about how to volunteer is expected to be released in January.

Registration for Cycle Adirondacks: Includes three catered meals daily, fully stocked rest stops, prime camping spots, hot showers, baggage service, on-course safety support, a wellness tent, and a beer/wine garden and live entertainment that are both open to the public. Total mileage for the week is 350425 miles, depending on options, with daily routes ranging from 53 to 69 miles. The event features a special price for the 7-day tour of $1,295 through Dec. 31. The price of a three-day/four-day tour option is $645. For more information visit: www.cycleadirondacks.com.

ON THE COVER: Officials from communities where cyclists will stop on the 2016 Cycle Adirondacks tour gathered last week for the unveiling of the route.

Chazen Companies address combined gathering

By Bill Quinlivan

news@suncommunitynews.com

INDIAN LAKE — The Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce and Indian Lake Community Development Corporation gathered at the Minnowbrook Conference Center for their joint annual dinner meeting on Wednesday Dec. 9.

The evening was kicked-off by a pre-dinner presentation by Paul Cummings, project manager at the Chazen Companies.

The Town of Indian Lake has recently contracted with Chazen to help the town through the process of the development of a comprehensive plan. Cummings and a colleague, Chris Round, Chazen’s Vice President of Planning Services, were on hand to take the attendees through an overview of their firm and the process.

Beyond explaining the background and service profile of the Chazen Companies,

Cummings enumerated the objectives throughout the evening to explain: what a comprehensive plan is, its importance and the development process. He also made it clear that both he and Round would be taking questions from the attendees during the dessert at the end of the evening.

Cummings explained to the attendees that there were four reasons to undertake a comprehensive plan: • The obvious reason is that the town has things it wants to do over the next 10 years.

“These are usually complex and interrelated”, advised Cummings.

The process of working through these is best served by the vehicle of the comprehensive plan.

• There are legal reasons for Indian Lake’s doing such a plan, not the least of which explained Cummings is that it reinforces that the decisions made and actions taken by the Town are not “arbitrary and capricious”.

• Cummings pointed out that one of the biggest reasons why a municipality should do a comprehensive plan is financial. Much of the work to be accomplished will need the assistance of grants and will necessitate grant applications. The comprehensive plan not only lays out the specifics and logistics of what is to be accomplished, but entails both cost estimates and detailed implementation plans. In short, a comprehensive plan is very much a pre-requisite for success of funding efforts in this arena.

• Finally, there is no better, proven methodical path for a community to take in order to come together and develop a shared vision of where and how it wants to go and what it wants to be within the next 10 years than the process of developing the comprehensive plan.

During the dessert question and answer session, Cummings and Round pointed out that a committee of a cross-section of com-

munity residents has been formed and that this committee will be the conduit through which the process will tap the vision of the community at large. Cummings and Round made it clear that Chazen Companies will not micro-manage the process. The plan that comes out of this will be the product of the shared vision of the community.

“We will be looking for you [the community] to tell us the economic development that you want and need,” remarked Cummings.

In answer to a question of how long will it take to finish the process and have the plan in hand, Cummings and Round predicted some 10 to 12 months based on their experience with such projects. When asked when the process will begin, they explain that it is already underway, a committee has been assembled relying on suggestions from a number of representative sources throughout the town and the first meeting of that committee is to occur on Wednesday, Dec. 16.

ovember 2015 will be remembered as being warmer than normal and near record dry, with only a trace of snow. It was not an encouraging start to the Winter sports season nor was it great for hunters.

The average high temperature was 48.5 degrees and the average low was 26.7 degrees giving us an average of 37.6 degrees, 2.5 degrees above normal and the 6th warmest on record. The warmest November was in 1999 when the average temperature was 40.2 degrees. The coldest was in 2013 when the average was 30.4 degrees. The highest temperature, 66 degrees, was recorded on Nov. 12, and the lowest, 14 degrees, was recorded Nov. 14, Nov. 19 and Nov. 24. There were 794 degree days bringing our seasonal total to 1574.

Melted precipitation, mostly in the form of rain, was 1.52 inches, 2.01 inches below normal and the second driest on record. The driest November was in 2012 when only 0.67 inches was measured. The wettest November was in 1983 when 7.16 inches fell.

Our seasonal total is now 35.83 inches, 3.14 inches below normal. There were 13 days with measurable precipitation, with the greatest amount, 0.54 inches, falling on Nov. 19.

Snowfall for the month was a great disappointment for those who are ski enthusiasts as only a trace was recorded here in Riparius. Only a trace also fell in 2004, 2006, and 2009. The November with the most snowfall was in 1997 when 21.1 inches fell. Last year we had a very snowy Thanksgiving as 15 inches blanketed the area making it a very white Thanksgiving.

The river reached it highest level, 4.70 feet on Nov. 2, and its lowest level, 3.47 feet, on Nov. 12.

“What would happen if you had an elf for a substitute teacher for the day?”

Mrs. Knickerbocker’s Kindergarten class Abbey Perryman: “If an elf was a substitute teacher for a day, it would teach us how to make toys.”

Sullivan Richards: “Maybe he would bring us toys.”

Jacqueline SanAntonio: “If an elf

was a substitute teacher for the day, he would make a mess. He’d get the paint and toys all over the place. He’d mix up our calendar, and he’d mix up the boxes that we put our stuff in.”

Taylor Smith: “They would make a mess of the toys.”

Aubrey Brown: “I would run away.

Elves are pretty scary!”

Abigail Church: “If an elf was my substitute teacher, he would make everybody stay outside late.”

Gabriel Pesquera: “The elf would break stuff, like our toys. He would go crazy.”
