Ethics committee taking form Appointees chosen to revise Essex County hiring practices

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Plans to create a Board of Ethics in Essex County are beginning to take shape as Board of Supervisors chair Randy Douglas announced his choices for committee appointments March 29.

Douglas, along with Vice-chair Roby Politi, chose two members of the public — Robert Lilly and Michael Orticelle — to sit on the newly formed committee along with county Attorney Dan Manning and county Personnel Department Manager Monica Feeley.

Together, the four will be given the task of revising the County’s Code of Ethics and its Policy Manual, which sets standards for hiring, promoting, disciplining, and firing county personnel.

Douglas said his goal for the committee was to “make what we have on file now a little better so the public can rest assured that we’re doing the right things in terms of transparency in government.”

Lilly, a Newcomb resident, served as head of the county’s Information Systems department from 1998 until his retirement in 2003. He has also served on an advisory committee for the county occupancy tax and several other municipal and nonprofit boards in the region.

Lilly said he was honored to be approached by Douglas and Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava at an New York Association of Towns meeting in February. While he has plenty of experience with meetings and government, he said this will be the furthest he’s delved into ethical policy.

“I spent 28 years in the air force,” Lilly said, “and we had ethical rules and regulations there as well.”

Orticelle, a Saranac Lake resident, is a Criminal Justice professor at North Country Community College, and has served as a member of the North Elba-Lake Placid Joint Review Board.

“I think transparency and accountability are very important to public service,” said Orticelle, which is why, when he heard of an Ethics committee being formed, he volunteered to take part.

Orticelle holds a Master ’s degree in Public Administration, is a licensed realtor, and is a retired police officer with 41 years of experience.

“Between studying it and living it, I feel I can contribute very strongly to any discussion [about ethics],” he said.

Douglas told the Essex County Ways and Means committee that Lilly and Orticelle were chosen with political neutrality in mind.

“Aside from Dan [Manning], I don’t know the political affiliation of any of them,” he said.

Manning, who is likely to chair the committee, said he has pulled examples of Codes of Ethics from various municipalities throughout New York State, which the committee should be able to use as a template.

Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey recommended using a code recently developed by New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. Douglas confirmed that would be one of many from which the committee draws ideas.

The committee will likely begin meeting later this month, Douglas said, after Manning returns from an out-of-town conference. At that point, it will be up to committee members to decide whether to hold their meetings in a public forum.

“I have no problem with it being open to the public,” said Douglas. “Once they finalize their determinations, we’ll definitely make those public.”

Lumberjack lessons at Adk Woodsmen’s School PAUL SMITHS — When most young people talk about target practice at summer camp, They’re usually referring to archery.

Not at Paul Smith’s College, where campers throw axes instead.

The new Adirondack Woodsmen’s School, hosted by Paul Smith’s College, takes typical summertime fare such as campfires and sleeping under the stars and mixes them with a thorough grounding in lumberjack sports.

The camp, sponsored by outdoor power equipment manufacturer Stihl Inc. and work clothing maker Carhartt, is aimed at high school and college students looking to train with some of the best woodsmen in the business and learn about the rugged traditions at the heart of the sport.

“This summer school takes lumberjack sports off TV and puts the axe in your hand,” said Brett McLeod, director of the Adirondack Woodsmen’s

School and head coach of the Paul Smith’s College woodsmen’s team. “If you’re interested in the sport, you’ll get hands-on experience from your first day, and if you’re already a collegiate competitor, you’ll sharpen your skills with some of the best in the business.”

Participants can actually earn four college credits in two weeks, as they learn skills such as log rolling, speed chopping, crosscut sawing, canoe building and axe sharpening. They’ll train at a student-built cabin on Paul Smith’s lakeside campus.

Paul Smith’s is a perennial contender among the nation’s best collegiate woodsmen’s teams. It has fielded a team since 1948 and holds the record for most consecutive victories in the annual Spring Meet, the biggest college event in the sport.

This year, the college will host the northeast regional competition of the Stihl Timbersports Collegiate Series in

April, which will be broadcast at a later date on ESPNU. Campers will have the opportunity to learn from instructors from the Paul Smith’s woodsmen’s team and the Stihl Timbersports professional ranks. In the meantime, they will experience authentic camp life, learning the history of Adirondack woodsmen, orienteering, and even how to skid logs using a team of draft horses. When they’re not sleeping in residence halls, they’ll hit the hay under the stars.

Camp will be held in two sessions.

The first, from July 11-17, is aimed at beginners and intermediates; the next session, from July 18-24, is for more advanced lumberjacks and –jills. A single session costs $1,095, while two weeks cost $1,995.

New support organization takes flight

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — A newly formed group of young Adirondack enthusiasts are hoping to bring together a new generation of supporters for the educational and environmental work of The Wild Center.

Wings, a group of 21-to-45-year-olds living both in and outside the Adirondacks, are planning a series of gatherings where they can network,

raise funds for programs at The Wild Center, and raise awareness of the area’s natural history.

Ed Forbes and David Bickford, co-chairs of the steering committee for Wings, were among a handful of philanthropic young professionals who assembled last fall to discuss ways they might support the museum’s educational mission.

“I just love The Wild Center and was looking for a way to contribute,” said Bickford, who lives and works in New York City. His family, going

back five generations, have been visiting Upper Saranac Lake since the 1940s.

The group decided to model their initiative after the Junior Council, a network of 20- and 30somethings who organize black-tie events to raise funds for the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

The idea caught on with many Tri-Lakes area residents as well, and the steering committee soon grew to a total of nine. Staff at The Wild Center

Inquiring minds want to know In the wake of billion dollarr Washington W bailouts and the recently pas passed ssed vote on Health Care, we thought ht we’d ask our readers this simple question: How can we fix the economy?

Here is what one taxpayer suggested in the St. Petersburg, Florida Times: Dear Mr. President: Please find below my suggestion for fixing America’s economy.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the “Patriotic Retirement Plan”: There are about 40 million people over 55 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations: 1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

It can’t get any easier than that!!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes...

Mr. President, while you’re at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I’ll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!

What would you do to mend the economy?

ROOST hires sales director for new conference center ALBANY — The Destination Lake Placid - Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism is pleased to announce the addition of Tracey Ridenour to head their conference sales team.

As Director of Sales and Marketing, Ridenour will lead the meetings and convention sales efforts for Lake Placid and the new Conference Center at Lake Placid, which is slated to open in early 2011. She brings over 20 years of sales and marketing experience to the position, including the operation of her own marketing and communications company, and posts in the corporate environment that include Thomas Cook Travel and Raymond James Financial services. Most recently, she was responsible for marketing and operations at a business within Lake Placid’s vacation rental industry.

“This is an exciting time.

As an integral part of the Conference Center sales strategy, we have been anticipating the addition of sales and service staff for years,” said James McKenna, president of the Regional Office

of Sustainable Tourism.

“The conference center will serve a key role in achieving our long-term goal of a yearround economy, and this represents the next step in a process that will drive business during our typical offseasons, and ultimately increase jobs and benefits for our residents,” said McKenna.

“An important and unique aspect of this project is that it has been completely funded through Empire State Development, so there will be no resulting debt load to the community,” said Ted Blazer, New York Olympic Regional Development Authority President and CEO. “We are poised to hit the ground running.”

The sales strategy, including booking space and marketing for the conference center will be conducted cooperatively by the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism and ORDA, and interim promotional materials for use in ongoing sales efforts, including a sales video and a new website, have already been developed.

“Projects within the sales and marketing strategy are

already being implemented,” said Arlene Day, director of sales and service.

“Space is typically booked more than a year in advance for conferences, and we’ve already sold space for 2011.”

The new Conference Center at Lake Placid will be located adjacent to the Olympic Center, and will incorporate the Lake Placid Visitor Information Center.

Conveniently located in the center of town and only a short walk from most hotels, the Olympic Center Complex with the added Conference Center space will offer over 89,000 square feet of meeting and exhibition space, a ballroom and a full service production kitchen.

Construction techniques adhere to the criteria set forth by LEED and incorporate optimized energy performance, renewable, recycled materials and daylighting. Operating with ongoing environmentally sound practices, the center anticipates gold LEED certification upon completion.

“I’m looking forward to proactively promoting this tremendous new facility and the high quality hosting ca-

Tracey Ridenour pabilities of the community’s lodging properties collectively,” said Ridenour.

“The new conference center is a state-of-the-art product that will allow us to aggressively target new markets and gain exposure for the unique meetings and conventions experience Lake Placid offers.”

Ridenour lives in Lake Placid with her husband and two children.

For more information about the Conference Center at Lake Placid, contact Tracey Ridenour at 523-2445 ext. 104 or visit the website at www.meetingslakeplacid.com for updates.’

agreed to help formally establish the organization and give it a name. “‘Wings’ seemed to make sense because of the wildlife in the area and the fact that we’re an extension of the museum,” Bickford said.

Forbes, a former editor of the Lake Placid News, now lives in Bronxville, N.Y. with his wife, Emily. Though he grew up in New Jersey and she in Buffalo, Forbes said they both consider the Adirondacks their home.

“Wings, to us, offers a range of opportunities,” said Forbes. “We can connect inside the Blue Line and out with other expatriates who share our love for the region, we can learn more about the Adirondacks’ natural wonders and we can support the critical mission of The Wild Center.”

New members can join wings for as little as $75 and gain access to the many events the organization has planned for 2010. The events, which take place at both The Wild Center

and sites in New York City, include an open bar cocktail party and presentations highlighting exhibits at The Wild Center.

“The idea is to bring the museum to us because we don’t have the accessibility that people in the area do,” said Bickford.

Membership in Wings also offers many of the same benefits as museum membership, such as unlimited free access to The Wild Center and a subscription to its newsletter.

Bickford said the group has discussed other possibilities for fundraisers, such as a 5K run or group expeditions to the summits of the Adirondacks’ 46 high peaks.

“Wings is a way of actively engaging the younger population, both inside and outside of the Adirondacks, in the future of the region,” said Stephanie Ratcliffe, Executive Director of The Wild Center. “Creating future stewards of the Adirondacks is integral to the survival of the area.”

County launches web petitions for ORDA, Shock

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Officials in Essex County are hoping public sentiment expressed through online petitions will help change the minds of state officials who want to eliminate funding for two of the region’s largest employers.

Essex County Manager Dan Palmer, who also serves as head of the county’s Information Services department, announced March 29 that the county’s web site now features links to two online petitions: one to ask for

the restoration of state funding for the state-run Olympic Regional Development Authority, and one asking for Moriah Shock Incarceration Facility to be kept open.

The state Senate passed a budget proposal earlier this month eliminating all of the $6.6 million in funding for ORDA, which employs over 200 full-time and 600 parttime employees in its operation of Whiteface and Gore ski resorts and the Olympic winter sport facilities in and around Lake Placid.

Gov. David Paterson had proposed closing Moriah

Shock, along with three other North Country prisons, in his 2010-2011 Executive Budget. The state Senate also included its closure in their recently passed budget proposal.

Funding for both was included, however, in a budget proposal passed in the state Assembly last week.

Board of Supervisor chair Randy Douglas, supervisor of Jay, along with Palmer and several other supervisors, have been arduously lobbying for keeping Moriah Shock open, and have added the cause of ORDA funding to their efforts, citing the

economic impact the institutions have in the region.

“These are essential for the economics of our region,” said North Elba supervisor Roby Politi, “and that is great leadership on the part of our individuals.”

Splintered Dreams Parental alienation is abuse To the editor, I would like to bring attention to a set of behaviors that some parents exercise in an effort to hurt the other parent.

These behaviors are now known as Parental Alienation.

When one parent (usually the custodial one) deliberately makes an effort to sabotage the relationship between the other parent and their child, they are, in essence, committing emotional abuse of the child. Every child deserves to love and be loved by both parents regardless of the conflicts between the parents.

I know of several families that this has happened to, and regardless of their efforts to report and stop this abuse, there seem to be very few avenues. It seems that many of our smaller court systems don’t even acknowledge this behavior as abusive to the child.

How can behaviors that destroy a once loving, trusting relationship be termed anything other than abusive? By destroying that relationship, the child is taught that everything he/she once believed is false. This has the potential to destroy the child’s own self esteem and can cause serious and sometimes irreparable damage to the child.

We need to encourage our lawyers, judges, law guardians, CPS employees, friends and family members to educate themselves regarding this behavior so that they recognize it and can be better able to intercede when necessary. This form of abuse is devastating to not only the child but the entire family of the alienated parent.

I would like to invite anyone with a similar experience to email me with your story at fapa@frontier.com I also want to encourage parents that are dealing with this behavior to never give up on your child. They are the innocent victims.

Knowledge is the key to stopping this form of emotional abuse against our children.

F

or tens of years, people have used wood to build all sorts of wooden things, including houses, foot bridges, International Space Stations, bird houses, Charlie Sheen’s acting technique, and dog houses.

But despite wood’s usefulness, it also has a dark side.

I’m speaking, of course, of slivers: splinters of wood that embed themselves in the flesh, fester, and result in grotesque deformities that ruin their victims’ chances of striking it big in the catalogue-modeling industry. Unfortunately, most slivers prove so small that the people they embed themselves in fail to notice the little buggers until said people are so grotesquely deformed that their catalogue-modeling careers are finished.

Every so often, though, a new kind of sliver comes along. A game-changing sliver. I’m speaking, of course, of giant slivers – slivers so large that they aren’t so much “slivers” as they are “stakes.” While such chunks of lumber might come in handy if, say, you want to kill a grating, cereal-hawking vampire like Count Chocula, they prove useless in most other circumstances. To illustrate, I’ll share an unsettling yet amusing anecdote.

It was fall of my sophomore year of high school, and my friends and I were feeling pretty good about ourselves.

Yes, sir, we thought we were regular “cool cats.” We considered ourselves so hip, in fact, that we viewed eating lunch in the cafeteria as beneath us. Why eat in the cafeteria, with its “walls” and “adult supervision,” when we could enjoy our chicken nuggets, soggy PB-and-J sandwiches, and tapioca pudding in the freedom of the outdoors? There were plenty of picnic tables and benches in front of the school, after all.

And so, weather permitting, we ate outside. It all went well until the day I sat on a bench I’d never sat on before.

Indeed, based on its decrepit appearance, I doubt anyone had sat on this bench in a decade or two. It leaned dramatically to one side, its backrest was shy a couple of slats, and – worst of all – its seat bristled with shards of wood.

So why did I sit on it? Because I was incredibly cool and, as I saw it, incredibly cool people were invincible. Had I been in my right mind, I would have realized that the bench seemed almost designed (perhaps by a diabolical cafeteria enthusiast who resented my disdain for cafeterias) to drive a massive splinter through my jeans and deep into the meat of my thigh.

And that’s exactly it did. At first, I didn’t realize the

grievous nature of my injury. Because I only felt a slight pinch when I sat down, I continued to talk and laugh with my pals.

Even after I figured out that I’d fallen victim to a gameBy Dan Leonidas changing sliver, I refused to acknowledge the situation’s severity. I hoped that, given time, my body would absorb the splinter and I’d gain such superpowers as the ability to sense the presence of lumberjacks from several miles away and use two-by-fours to swing between skyscrapers.

Unfortunately, I had gym right after lunch, which meant I’d have to exert at least a token amount of physical effort if I wanted to avoid a stern talking-to – and while my leg might not have hurt much when I was sitting on a bench, I feared all that might change when I was doing jumping jacks and squat thrusts. The last thing I wanted was to collapse in front of my peers – a merciless and petty lot – clutching my leg and mewling about how I had a “real bad” sliver.

So I bit the bullet and limped to the nurse’s office, where I clutched my leg and mewled about how I had a “real bad” sliver until the nurse, Mrs. Hogan, agreed to look at it. After a quick glance, she called my mom to come get me.

“He has a sliver,” Mrs. Hogan said into the phone. “A real bad sliver.” She paused, frowning. “Yes,” she said, “I’m serious. It’s real bad.”

When my mom stopped laughing – I was sitting across the room from Mrs. Hogan, but I could clearly hear my mom’s laughter rolling out of the phone in great crashing waves – she agreed to pick me up and bring me to the emergency room.

Long story short, the amused ER doctor shot my leg full of Novocain, dug the wooden shard out of me with a scalpel and a pair of tweezers, and sent me on my way. After a few weeks, the physical wound had healed entirely.

The psychological wound, however – the certainty that I was as far from being a “cool cat” as a splinter was from being a legitimate injury – remains open to this day.

Anti-drinking ads can backfire I

suspect that what I am about to share will upset more than a few people. That is not my intention, however, I feel compelled to pass along information that might assist our larger community.

Although there have been several decades of anti- drinking and responsible drinking education and publicity efforts, most agree that the success of these efforts has been nominal. Alcohol is linked to over 79,000 American deaths every year.

Indiana University scientists have completed a field of research that suggests that anti-drinking ads that utilize guilt or shame themes can have an unintended effect; they can cause people to drink more alcohol. Ostensibly, the research showed that the ads “triggered an innate coping mechanism that enabled viewers to distance themselves from the serious consequences of reckless drinking behaviors.”

The co-author of the study, Adam Duhachek, stated, “The situation is worse than just wasted money or effort.

These ads do more harm than good because they have the potential to spur more of the behavior that they are trying to prevent.”

Duhacheks’ research focused on ads that link the consequences of drinking such as car accidents or black outs with guilt or shame messages. The findings are particularly important to American Universities where alcohol abuse has reached an unprecedented and more dangerous level.

Each year, drinking among college students contributes to

an estimated 1700 student deaths, 600,00 injuries, 700,00 assaults, and 90,000 sexual assaults.

Duhachek is encouraging the framers of public health messages to construct anti drinking messages that convey the dire consequences along with strong messages of empowerment.

“If you are going to communicate a frightening scenario, temper it with the idea that it is avoidable,”

By Scot Hurlburt said Duhalek, “It’s best to use the carrot along with the stick.”

I can honestly say that I do not know what the most effective message might be to warn of the dangers of abusing alcohol. What I do know is that we must be open to new and innovative approaches. The message must change with the times. Can you imagine anyone taking the movie “Reefer Madness” seriously today as a warning against marijuana? I rest my case. Remember all kids count.

The cool days of spring are upon us T

he air has been pleasantly and unseasonably warm for a good part of March. And, if you are like me, all this beautiful weather has given you spring fever. Right now, I want nothing more than to be out in my garden planting my vegetables, flowers and herbs. But, I know I have to be cautious. Even though the days are getting warmer, we are still quite a ways off from our average last frost date.

The average last spring frost date is the day, or range of days, in which the last frost typically occurs. If you live closer to the lake that date can range between April 30 and May 20. But, if you live in the Adirondacks, the date ranges from May 20 until the beginning of June! So, despite our urge to get out there and plant, we need to make sure what we plant is not susceptible to frost.

Luckily for us, there are many garden flowers that prefer the cool days of spring. Two of the most popular cool season annuals are the pansy and viola. These beauties do best dur-

ing the cool spring and fall weather. Deadheading the flowers will keep the blooms coming for weeks. And, now there are several varieties that tolerate a light freeze.

While we all love our summer tomatoes, now is not the time to plant them. They are not tolerant of frost and prefer warmer soil temperatures. There are many cool season vegetables that do allow us to harvest crops from spring through the fall. Most of the vegetables that you can get into the ground within the next few weeks are leafy vegetables or root crops. If you are thinking about planting soon, think about radishes, carrots, onions, beets, spinach, lettuce, Swiss chard, and bok choy. And, of course don’t forget about peas. Spring is the perfect time to get your peas into the ground!

TRI LAKES TODAY - 5

Why some days are worth more than others

I

n a past column, I touched on one of the most interesting tips for saving at the grocery store: you can save even more money by shopping certain days of the week!

Sound surprising? It’s true.

The day of the week we shop can make a big difference in how much money we can save.

Many supermarkets, especially large chains, run dual sets of sales each week.

A typical week-long cycle may begin on Thursday and run for seven days. Then, when Sunday comes around, a second sales flyer hits the newspapers. This supplemental set of sales typically runs for four days, Sunday through Wednesday.

If your store runs dual sales cycles, the best days to shop are the days both sets of flyers overlap — typically, Sunday through Wednesday. These are better shopping days because two different sets of sales run in the store simultaneously.

Sometimes those two sales actually overlap, offering different types of promotions on the same products. If this happens, simply shopping the days the two sales overlap lets us enjoy bigger benefits.

Here’s an example: During a recent sale, a brand of crackers was on sale for $2.19, Buy One, Get One Free in the weekly, 7day flyer. On Sunday, the store’s second 4-day sales flyer came out, and the same brand of crackers was on sale “Buy Two, Get Two

Coupon Queen

By Jill Cataldo

Free.” During the same week, both of these sales overlapped for four days.

My shopping radar always goes up when I see something like this, because I know this sale’s going to be fun! When an item is BOGO on one sales cycle and simultaneously Buy Two, Get Two Free on the second sales cycle, how many are we buying, and how many are we actually paying for?

In this case, we’ll buy one ... and get three more free.

Let me explain. Anytime you’re dealing with BOGO sales, it’s important to remember the free item still counts as a “purchase.” And that purchase qualifies as something you’ve “bought” toward the second sale.

So, let’s break this down.

I buy one package of crackers, and I get the second package free. The BOGO sale is done. But the second sale on the same brand of crackers is Buy Two, Get Two Free. The first two packages that are scanned qualify as “buying” two (even though the second package is technically free) and the next two packages

of crackers will also ring up free as part of the second sale. If it seems a little confusing, don’t worry — the register automatically handles both sales automatically.

After everything was scanned, I paid $2.19 for all four packages of crackers.

And I didn’t even use a single coupon!

I simply shopped on a day where two sales on the same product overlapped.

When stores run dual sales flyers, they’re also trying to drive more traffic to the store on days when the store isn’t as busy, which are typically earlier in the week. And, that second sales flyer usually has more deeply discounted items and prices than the weeklong flyer. In addition to enjoying two sets of sales, shopping the lesser-trafficked days does give us other advantages: shorter checkout lines! On the rare instances I go to the store later in the week, I’m always amazed at how much more crowded the store is if I shop on a Friday or a Saturday versus a Monday or a Tuesday.

Want one final tip?

Because of the higher traffic the store enjoys at the end of the week, items like meats and produce will be reduced to clear once those busier shopping days pass.

These items are still of fine quality, but the store is going to have new stock to place out as the end of the week approaches again, so they will reduce the previous week’s stock to make room for what’s coming in. I

never tire of going to the store and seeing the same hamburger patties that were $4/pound reduced to $2/pound as soon as the weekend has passed! © CTW Features Jill Cataldo, a coupon workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal.

OFA looking for new ombudsmen ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Office for the Aging is searching for volunteers willing to become advocates for those living in long term care facilities.

An ombudsman is a professionally trained and certified advocate who resolves issues with long term care facilities on behalf of residents and their families. The dual focus of quality of care and quality of life enables the volunteers to assure that residents are cared for appropriately.

Volunteers serve as a voice for residents of nursing homes and adult care facilities.

Certified ombudsmen ensure that all facilities meet mandated legal standards for every person requiring long term care.

Ideal candidates for these positions must meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years, commit to volunteering at least four hours per week for at least one year, attend and participate in 36 hours of free basic training, and demonstrate good communication and interpersonal skills.

For more information, contact the Essex County Office for the Aging at 873-3695.
