PLATTSBURGH — The United Way of the Adirondack Region is setting its sights a little higher this year for the nonpr ofit organization’s annual fundraising campaign. Gerald H. Morrow, chairman of this year ’s campaign, said the amount the local United Way hopes to raise this year has increased from $750,000 to $775,000. The incr ease, said Morr ow, is based on the gr owing economic need in the organization’s service area, which spans Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. “I’m 1 10 per cent confident,” Morrow said of the team being able to meet the new goal. “I have no doubt that the North Country will come through. They always do.” The campaign team — which consists of volunteers fr om throughout the tri-county region — exceeded last year’s goal, proving it can be done and pr oviding the team with the energy it needs to do even more for the 39 partner agencies the local United W ay helps, said Morrow.

Stay out of the High Peaks

ne of the most photographed vistas in the Adirondack Park is the view of the High Peaks fr om Route 73 near Lake Placid. Please, enjoy the view; it’s the closest you’ll get to these mountains for a while. In the wake of Tropical Storm Irene, the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has wisely closed the eastern section of the High Peaks Wilderness Area, the Giant Mountain Wilderness and the Dix Mountain Wilderness indefinitely. There is untold devastation in the backcountry here , untold because we still don’t know the extent of damage to the woods, waters, trails and infrastructure. Unfortunately, the DEC is faced with a daunting task — keeping people out of these wilderness ar eas during one of the busiest hiking weekends of the year, Labor Day weekend. T ry telling har dcore backpackers, who have been planning their weekend trips for months, to stay out of the woods. It’s nearly impossible.

But everyone who reads these words can help. Either postpone your High Peaks hike if you have one, or help suggest alternative hiking/camping destinations for tourists determined to hike the tallest mountain in the state — Mount Marcy — or others nearby. Luckily, most of the major trailheads are unreachable right now. We just hope hikers heed the “Road Closed” and “T r ails Closed” signs. The biggest trailhead in the Adirondack Park, and the main access point for the Eastern High Peaks W ilderness, is the Adirondak Loj, operated by theAdirondack Mountain Club. It is currently isolated; the bridge crossing the W est Branch of the AuSable River on Adirondack Loj Road is gone. Another p opular a ccess p oint t o M ount Marcy and the High Peaks is The Gar den trailhead near Keene V alley. It is unr eachable. The Johns Brook bridge on the road to The Garden is gone. It’s a 3.5-mile hike to ADK’s Johns Brook Lodge, which is now cut

off from the world. While the Upper W orks trailhead — the southern terminus of the Eastern High Peaks and a popular way to the Flowed Lands and Indian Pass — near Newcomb is reachable, the DEC has also closed this access point to hikers and backpackers. “The Flowed Lands is now the Flooded Lands,” said DEC spokesman David Winchell. While reports were still spilling in T uesday, it appears the backcountry damage could be unpr ecedented. Foot bridges, trails, railings and dams wer e either seriously damaged by the flash flood waters or are gone altogether. Blowdown trees litter the forest, making the trails that remain unpassable. •The dam at the Duck Hole is gone, as is the water in the pond. It now appears to be only a few feet deep. •The bridge over Marcy Dam is gone, and the dam is leaking significantly. •The dam at Elk Lake in North Hudson was also partially breached, and the access road across the dam is gone. •There ar e numer ous washouts on the Marcy Dam Truck Trail and Marcy Brook between Mar cy Dam and Avalanche Camps jumped its banks, carving a new channel and wiping out much of the trail. •The Van Hoevenberg Trail above Marcy Dam is eroded 1-3 feet deep in many places.

The handrails on the suspension bridge on the Calamity Pond trail ar e gone and the trail is not passable. •The first bridge on the Klondike Trail is also gone, and trails along the shore line at Lake Colden are under water. •And there are many new slides on peaks such as W right, Colden-north, T rap Dike, Basin, Haystack, W olfjaws, Dixes and Giant. Cascade Mountain also has a tr emendous swath cut down its face. We urge people to stay out of these backcountry ar eas until the DEC deems them safe. Alternative hikes can be found on the DEC website (dec.ny.gov). A trip to these backcountry destinations at this time will put lives, and the lives of rescuers, in danger . Emer gency personnel are busy enough dealing with public safety along the main r oads damaged by Ir ene; they don’t need to be dragging someone out of the woods when it is completely avoidable and unnecessary.

Publisher’s Viewpoint

Faith, family, small business

hile our government and its elected officials scramble to solve our economic woes and put America back to work, I thought I would take a stab at introducing my own plan. What do we have to lose? It beats just complaining out Washington’s inactivity. Besides, any plan coming out of either house, party or the White House will be condemned by the other side and they’ll just use it as fodder during the next election cycle when little if anything will get accomplished as they play Tug-o-War with our future. My approach may be considered radical in comparison to any other plans that will be r olled out. But my plan will be aimed at solving not only employment issues but go to the heart of what truly ails our country today, in my opinion. It’s based on the dreams of the Founding Fathers and the vision I think most Americans and those who would like to be a part of this wonderful country , think of when they see the Stars and Stripes. Most of the r ecent stimulus plans send money and tax breaks to their significant voting blocks and the organizations with the largest lobbying efforts, who worked hard to

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR/WEEKLY COLUMNS • www.the-burgh.com - 7

Thanks to Ironman supporters I was the captain of the volunteers of the bike aid station at the W ilmington firehouse for Ironman. e than 120 I would like to thank the mor volunteers who came during the day and assisted. Special thanks to the Wilmington Fire Department for allowing the event to be staged there. Many thanks to Bill Skufca, Bill McGreevy, Steve Corvelli, Dean Antonucci, Ben Newell, Amy Peck, Tina Preston and Cliff Holzer , who r epresented the Fir e Department; Roy and Becky Holzer fro m the Little Supermarket, who took care of the cost for the DJ and pro vided great lunches for all the volunteers; Doug Sequin for the DJ services; Linda Pr eston, breakfast chef and lunch organizer; Shannon and Matt Stanley and Bob and Karen Peters, who spent 10 hours assisting; and lastly, thanks to Toni Ashlaw, who almost single-handedly took car e of a mountain of garbage. The job could not have been done without everyone working hard. I know it is sometimes aggravating to share the road with the bikers while they were training. I also know that most of the racers wer e very appr eciative of all that the volunteers do. Just check out the many thanks on the Ir onman volunteer website. Ironman donates to many charities in the towns wher e there are aid stations, the Wilmington Fire Department and

the W ilmington Youth Ski pr ogram being just two of the r ecipients in Wilmington. This money stays in W ilmington for Wilmington people. The much bigger picture is the thousands of people who come into the ar ea to train, their families and friends, all spend money. Whether it is for hotels, food or other necessities, it is money that helps the economy. Ironman is a milliondollar boost to a county that surely needs that boost. Thanks again to all the volunteers who helped and thanks to all the drivers that dealt with the bikers. Diane E. Kirby Wilmington

Don’t overlook fall perennials

all is definitely my favorite season. The weather is perfect — the days ar e warm and the nights ar e cool. One of the things I like most about the fall is the fall blooming perennials. While most people think about the plethora of spring and summer blooming perennials, but the fall bloomers are standouts. Most of the fall blooming per ennials are tall, stately, and bring deep purples, r usts, scarlet, and gold colors to the gar den’s color palette. One of my favorite fall bloomers is the Japanese Anemone. This part shade late summer to mid fall blooming per ennial has pink and white flowers that resemble poppies. The anemone’s dark gr een foliage ar e also a gr eat asset to the gar den throughout the summer. Another fall bloomer for the shade garden is cimicfuga or bugbane. The plant’s foliage is finely cut and fern-like. Bugbane produces white flowers on tall (three plus feet) stems during the late summer/fall. Newer varieties can also be found with chocolate colored foliage. My favorite native fall perennial is Eupatorium, or Joe Pye W eed. I r emember being introduced to this plant during college field work my sophomor e year at school. It was a beautiful sight in the fields

and meadows during September. In the garden this mauve blooming flower makes a wonderful backdrop to the gar den bor der. Newer varieties have been br ed shorter and less weedy , but still have the same dense mop heads of the original variety. Another fall blooming per ennial, that in my opinion, is under used is goldenr od. Goldenr od pr oduces an abundance of tiny yellow flowers each August that last throughout the fall. Goldenrod is a gr eat plant for those har d hotspots in your garden. This plant thrives in full sun even if the soil is dry and infertile. I could go on and on with mor e fall blooming perennials — asters, pink turtlehead, mums, coneflowers, sneezeweed, sedums, black eyed susans and mor e! Adding a few of these fall beauties to your perennial beds is a great way to make the gardening season last longer!

How to fit fitness into your day

ith today’s hectic lifestyles and busy schedules it can be a real challenge when trying to find time to fit in exer cise. The key is to make it convenient. Try some of the following tips to squeeze mor e physical activity into your busy day. Wake up early . Wake up 30 minutes early and use the time to walk on the treadmill or take a brisk walk around the neighborhood. Make household chor es count. When you’re doing your chor es, do them at a fast enough pace to get your heart rate going both indoors and out. Be active while watching TV . Use hand weights, ride a stationary bike or do your favorite stretching routine while watching your favorite shows. Involve the whole family. Take family walks before or after dinner. Play catch, or ride bikes. It’s best to work up to 30 minutes of exer cise, but you can get that in with short bursts throughout the day. Walk the dog. If you have a dog, take them for a brisk walk. It will become r outine and they will be just as excited about getting exercise as you will be. Get social. Some people do better when having a commitment to another person or a group. Look up some gr oup exer cise classes, find a hiking club, or join a team. Be active while running errands. Park at the back of the lot when you go to the store. Take

B, several PCS alumni came together in 2010 to establish a scholarship in his memory for a deserving PCS senior — a fitting tribute to a man who spent his life reaching out to students motivating them to be the best students possible for a brighter future. The first $1,000 scholarship was awarded this past June to PCS senior Abigail Lajti, who is pursuing a pre-med course at SUNY Albany in the fall. The second-Annual Leo P. Bourgeois Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Sept. 30 to raise funds for the scholarship in his name. The tournament will be held at Adirondack Golf & Country Club in Per u with r egistration beginning at 11 a.m. and a shotgun start at noon. The cost to enter the four -person scramble tournament is $260 per team, which includes greens fees for 18 holes, golf cart, gift bags, awards and a hors d'oeuvr es reception following the tournament. Non-golfers and alumni ar e encouraged to attend the reception at a cost of $20 per person. Volunteers for the day of the tournament are also needed. The cost to become a tournament sponsor is $50 to $150.

the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator when at the mall. Make the most of your commute. W alk, r un, or ride a bike to work instead of driving. Take fitness br eaks at work. Instead of hanging out in the lounge, take a short walk. Start a lunchtime walking gr oup with co-workers. The r egular r outine and support of your coworkers may help you stick to a program. Schedule physical activity as you would any other appointment during the day . Don’t change your exercise plans for every interruption that comes along. Remind yourself that physical activity is important, too. If you travel for work, plan ahead. Bring your jump-rope or choose a hotel that has fitness facilities. If you’r e stuck in an airport waiting for a plane, grab your bags and take a walk. Remember, there is no single best way to fit exercise into your day. Do what works for you, and make a habit of getting some form of physical activity everyday.

Accident on Great Chazy River claims two lives jeremiah@denpubs.com

ALTONA — The lives of a young man and woman were lost following the violent weather that gripped the region last Sunday. Mikita C. Fox, 23, of Wikemikong, Ontario, and Danine R.

As the vehicle entered the bridge, it was pulled into the river as a r esult of the extr eme current and water level, authorities stated. The roadway had reportedly been marked off to warn motorists of the unsafe road conditions. Lionel Peryea, who r esides just a

Visitors reflect on arch raising for new Lake Champlain Bridge By Jon Hochschartner jonh@denpubs.com

CROWN POINT — Government and corporate officials joined unaffiliated visitors the morning of Aug. 26 to witness history being made as the middle arch of the Lake Champlain Bridge was ever so-slowly lifted into place. New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Executive Deputy Commissioner Stanley Gee said reaching this “major milestone” was very satisfying. Gee said his agency had not yet selected an opening date for the bridge, though it would be sometime this year. “We’re in a part of the state where weather is a major factor ,” Gee said. “We’re concerned about frost. It could happen anytime after Labor Day around here.” The fr ee ferry service curr ently in operation will be discontinued once the bridge is open to traf fic, Gee said. John Grady, NYSDOT r egional construction engineer , said the transfer of the ar ch to the bridge site went faster than expected. “We got out of the slips where it was going to be a pr oblem – we thought – much quicker than we expected,” Grady said, adding the arch moved at a maximum of one knot per hour, which is the equivalent of 1.15 miles per hour. Grady said the ar ch would be lifted into place using a strand jack. “It’s a heavy cable lifting system with hydraulic rams that lift it up in increments,” Grady said. “It will lift it up about an 18 inch thr ow. Then it will lower itself, and do it again.” Ted Zoli, the chief engineer of HNTB Corp., who designed the

Visitors at the Crown Point Campground pier watch the arch arrive at 8:28 a.m. Aug. 26. Bridge designer Ted Zoli joined New York State Department of Transportation Executive Deputy Commissioner Stanley Gee during a press conference later that morning at the Crown Point State Historic Site.

bridge, said the arch weighs about 900 tons, though it will weigh mor e when the concr ete decks ar e in place. As the arch was being prepared for lifting, Zoli said he was not ready to celebrate, being “a little superstitious.” Horace Hyle, 96, of Gr eenville, Mass., said when he was 14 he traveled over the old bridge a couple months after it opened. “I’ve always taken an interest in this bridge,” Hyle said. “I guess because I went over it when I was so young.” Hyle described watching on his computer the old str ucture blow

up as “an experience out of this world.” He added he’s visited Crown Point to see the pro gression of the bridge construction about six times. Marilyn Cr ossman, a Cr own Point r esident and member of the Lake Champlain Community Bridge Celebration Committee, said h er 8 6-year-old m other, n ow in a nursing home, came to the opening of the original bridge. Crossman said she liked the design of the new structure. “It’s going to be a brand new bridge, but it’s very reminiscent of the old bridge,” Cr ossman said. “At first I thought I was going to

feel sad about it, and I don’t. It’s wonderful.” Crossman said while she knew of people who wer e inconvenienced by the bridge closur e, she had not been inconvenienced because she was retired. “We had prayed in chur ch on and off for two years, especially at the beginning, for people who were extending their workdays four and five hours,” Cr ossman said. “There were people in the area who just walked around looking like zombies.” Katherine Vaillancourt, of V ermont, said she had been camping in Cr own Point f or 20 years. She

was unhappy to see the old bridge demolished. “That made me pr etty sad that day,” Vaillancourt said. “Because we’ve been over here so many times.” Dorothy Galloway, of W alpole, N.H., said she and her husband had come over the last couple years roughly every six weeks to see the structure’s progress. “The fascination has really been to just watch the process of the bridge being built; this whole thing today is like the acme,” Galloway said. Tom Henry , of Charlotte, Vt., said he also had a connection to the old structure. “In 1929 my father was her e for the opening of the pr evious bridge,” Henry said. “W e’re just recreating a family tradition. It feels pretty cool.” Henry said he owns a small camp on the New York side of the bridge which his family visits on weekends. The bridge closure only mildly extended what had been a 45 minute trip to an hour long one, which his family doesn’t mind. #“(But) we do hear the horr or stories commuters ar e facing,” Henry said. Chris Staf fa, of Under hill, Vt., said he had been following the construction of the bridge almost since its inception. “It’s r eally been inter esting to see how it comes together on the ground,” Staffa said, adding that in particular he was looking forwar d to the lifting of the arch. Pam Ketchum, who lives in both Chester and Port Henry , said she was attending the ar ch-lift ou t of historical interest. “I think it’s just thrilling actually,” Ketchum said. “It’s just to me so monumental.”

THE GREAT OUTDOORS/THE LOCKER ROOM • www.the-burgh.com - 13

Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene did not spare the backcountry

Duck Hole, Marcy dam gone; Adirondack Loj inaccessible

omewhat lost in the news of Tropical Storm Irene’s impact on manmade objects like buildings and r oads thr oughout New York is the devastation the storm caused to the mountains and backcountry here. While reports are still spilling in, it appears the backcountry damage could be unprecedented. Foot bridges, trails, railings and dams wer e either seriously damaged by the flash flood waters or ar e gone altogether. Blowdown trees litter the forest, making the trails that r emain unpassable. W ith one of the most p opular h iking w eekends l ooming, t he DEC has of ficially closed all trails in the eastern section of the High Peaks Wilderness Area, Giant Mountain Wilderness and Dix Mountain Wilderness. Trails will remain closed through Labor Day weekend, accor ding to DEC spokesman Dave Winchell, and hikers ar e ur ged to stay out of these areas.

The first bridge on the Klondike Trail is also gone, and trails along the shor e line at Lake Colden are under water. At the same time, Alberga said he saw so many new slides carved into the sides of mountains that he “lost track after awhile.” He noted new slides at Wright, Colden-north, Trap Dike, Basin, Haystack, W olfjaws, Dixes and Giant. Cascade Mountain also has a tr emendous swath cut down its face.

State Campgrounds

A number of campgr ounds are also currently closed due to damage to roads, lack of electricity and numerous trees down. While DEC is working diligently to have these sites open for Labor Day weekend, the damage to some will undoubtedly keep them shuttered for one of the most popular camping weekends of the year. According to W inchell, as of T uesday, Aug. 30, only 19 of 45 campgr ounds in the Adirondacks r emained open. The following wer e closed with repairs and cleanup under way: Ausable Point Campground, Buck Pond Campground, Eagle Point Campgr ound, Perhaps the most devastating news for arHearthstone Point Campgr ound, Lake Durant dent br ook tr out fisherman is that the dam at Campground, Lake Geor ge Battlefield Park, the Duck Hole is gone, as is the water in the pond.

SOUTH PLATTSBURGH — George Foley of Saranac Lake took command of the Dick Nephew Memorial 50 with 10 laps togo and went on to his third win of the season in the Casella/Jim Pulsifer Logging No. 34 at Airborne Speedway Aug. 27. Foley sped past point leader on the low side second place then swung outside to overtake Gre g Atkins for the lead. The DIR Tcar Modifeds wer e racing topless – without roofs – a twist that Foley has found is to his liking. “It does make the handling a little dif ferent,” he said, “but we have a couple of little changes we discovered a couple of years ago that work pretty good. ” Foley started ninth and managed to avoid a front stretch melee on lap two that destroyed Patrick Dupr ee’s machine and brought out the red flag. Dupree, running out of races to overtake point leader Roy and defend his track title, had just begun a daring thr ee-wide move exiting turn four when tr ouble ahead sent him scraping along the top of the wall. His Saranac Country Stor e No. 24 and Canadian Pat McGrail’s Brossard Mazda No. 10 left on the wrecker. Neither driver was seriously injured. Atkins and Roy wer e waging a terrific duel for the lead when Foley arrived. “I don’t think Roy saw me,” Foley said. “I picked up a push after I got thelead though and I had to work har d to pr otect the bottom. ” Roy made it ar ound Atkins to claim second. Atkins was a close thir d, four car lengths ahead of Roger Labr eche (4th) and Pierre Berthiaume (5th). Richar d T isseur and Leon Gonyo spent much of the event racing side by side for 4th until Gonyo lost a right fr ont tire and spun T isseur out. Positions 6-10 went to Aaron Bartemy, V ince Quenneville, Jimmy R yan, Andy Heywood and Mike Phinney. “I’ll be sor e in the morning, but I’m okay,” Dupree said. “Somebody in the mid-

dle of the pack was faltering or making a mistake and it became a bad deal for everybody. ” “I was right behind the 24 (Dupree) and I saw sparks so I got off the throttle and dove down,” Roy said. The Napierville, Quebec driver can clinch his second Airborne title with a 12th or better finish at next week’s regular season finale – the Mike W atts Memorial 50. Kevin Boutin of Fairfax, Vt. , won the Renegade 50 convincingly . The defending Renegade champion took the lead fr om Robert Gordon at the halfway mark and was never headed. Gor don r egained second place from Josh Terry with three laps to go. Terry, Lance Rabtoy and Rob Favr eau completed the top five. Bucko Branham drove the Liquor & Warehouse No. 20 to his 4th win in the J&S Steel Sportsman featur e. Point leader Robin Wood r ebounded fr om a wr eck in his heat race and came from the rear of the field to finish second. Nick Heywood, who challenged Branham for the lead for a dozen laps, finished third. Danny Sullivan and Shawn Duquette were next in line. John Bradley of Morrisonville scored his first career win in the NAPA Mini Modified feature. Bradley bested Speedy Bresette, Erick Sayles, Josh Leclaire and Kris Clark. Josh Durivage of West Chazy won the Busch Bomber feature. The standings for last week's modifieds were as follows: 1. Geor ge Foley, 2. Martin Roy, 3. Gr eg Atkins, 4. Roger Labr eche, 5. Pierre Berthiaume, 6. Aaron Bartemy , 7. Vince Quenneville, 8. Jimmy Ryan, 9. Andy Heywood, 10. Mike Phinney , 1 1. Chris Cayea, 12. Maxime V iens, 13. Mike Reyell, 14. Craig Reyell, 15.
