Mulderig takes leave at Lake Placid CS By Tim Follos tim@denpubs.com
Spring seasons get started PAGE 19
LAKE PLACID — The long-running saga involving Lake Placid Central School District Superintendent Randy Richards and High School Principal Katherine Mulderig took another turn last week, when word broke
that Mulderig went on an extended leave of absence beginning Monday, April 16. Sources within the school system told the Adirondack Daily Enterprise that Mulderig had accepted a settlement from the district and would not return to her job. "Although it appears very hollow, the board still can-
not comment or discuss the principal situation," said School Board President Phil Baumbach. "We understand there are a lot of questions, but we must remain confidential about the principal issue. We are working with all parties to come to a resolution that is best for those who are involved."
Baumbach explained the the board’s tight-lipped approach to the matter as an issue of “policy mandates.” "Obviously, everybody wants an explanation and I'm sure they get tired of, 'Well, we can't talk about it,' but that's the real situation,” he said. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10
E L I Z A B E T H TO W N — A sub-committee of five will start to take a deeper look at three potential buyers of the Horace Nye Nursing Home. The Nursing Home Committee recommended that a sub-committee consisting of Lewis Supervisor David Blades, Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley, Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery-Corey, Office For the Aging Director Patty Bashaw and Horace Nye Director Deborah Gifford to research and visit each of the three organizations that have bid to purchase the home. Upon appointing the board, there was discussion over the addition of Gifford to the five. “I think it does make sense to have Deborah or someone from Horace Nye be a part of this,” North Elba Supervisor and Horace Nye Committee Chair Roby Politi said. “Deborah works for this board and for Essex County and my personal opinion is that she would give us an unbiased view of what she sees. There is nothing that says she would be out of a job because of this.” While Politi endorsed the appointment, which County Manager Daniel Palmer said was made in part because she had requested to be on the sub-committee, others were skeptical. “Just because she asked to be on this committee, does that mean that she is the best choice for the committee or if there is another, better choice,” St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency said.

She has never owned a business before; her background is in retail. “It was an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up,” she commented. “I saw the place for sale and figured it was worth a try. It’s a midlife change of pace. I’d been watching property for sale and came across the listing for the place and decided I’d take a look at it. I ended up buying it directly from the bank on a short sale.” Lavarnway said that her plan was always, “pretty much using the property for what it had available: the restaurant, the store; I’ll

The restaurant’s opening nearly coincided with the opening of the new “Poor Man’s Downhill” trailhead in Lavarnway’s parking lot. The new trail, which links the flume trails, a trail up Whiteface Mountain, and the Memorial Highway trail to Cooper Kiln Pond, is used by snowmobilers, skiers, bikers, and hikers. “The Great Outdoors pretty much describes where we are,” Lavarnway said. “Why else do you come to this area

WILMINGTON – “I remember my grandmother looking across the street at this place,” said Chris Kueller. “It was for sale, and she said, ‘That place is a goldmine if you get the right person to run it right.’” Kueller is out to prove his grandmother right. The grandson of Carl and Bertha Steinhoff, Kueller grew up at his family’s Sportsman’s Inn, a stone’s throw away from a new restaurant in town, Up A Creek, where he works as a chef. He asked owner Danielle Lavarnway for a job after she purchased the property last summer. “I came in and told her who I was,” he said. “You’ve got great advertising right there – the grandson of Carl Steinhoff working for you.” He uses his grandfather ’s recipes. Up A Creek is in the building that formerly housed the Evening Hatch and, before that, the Pancake Haven. The restaurant adjoins a well-appointed gift shop and sporting goods store that is aptly called the Great Outdoors. Both the diner and the store are owned and operated by Danielle Lavarnway,
but to enjoy the outdoors?” “I have a lot of local people putting their products in the shop, and I try to have what people need for hiking, camping, fishing, boating. I’m going to get a lot more bike stuff this summer; I was overwhelmed by the number of people who came in looking for bike stuff last summer. And then you have the gifts and the little mementos that represent the Adirondacks. It’s a little bit of everything. We provide people with whatever they need.” Lavarnway said that she expects to expand her restaurant’s hours this summer and that she’s begun the “long process” of getting a license to serve alcohol. As for the biggest surprise of her first few months in the business, Lavarnway said, “The most unexpected thing is the people of Wilmington. It’s an incredible little place. I bought a business surrounded by like businesses — there are other stores in town, there are other places to go eat — but it doesn’t matter: Everybody’s friendly, everybody’s willing to help you, answer your questions. Around here people are actually helpful. I think everybody has the same goal: to keep people coming back.“

Valley News Editorial
Online historic newspapers an asset
F
or years, loyal readers, researchers and editorial staffers have yearned to flip through back issues of the various papers owned by Denton Publications, whether they want information from two years in the past, 20 years ago or all the way back in the 1800s. Well, we have some good news. We recently signed an agreement with the Potsdam-based Northern New York Library Network to have News Enterprise issues from 1924 to the present digitized and placed on a searchable website. We will soon be part of the Northern New York Historical Newspapers project, located online at http://news.nnyln.net. The Northern New York Library Network is a consortium of public, academic and specialized libraries chartered to improve library service for North Country residents. It has a long history of newspaper preservation, including preservation microfilming in the 1980s and local coordination of the New York State Newspaper Project in the 1990s. In 2004, the network launched Northern New York Historical Newspapers to enhance access to the region’s local history. Serving seven counties — Essex, Franklin, Clinton, St. Lawrence, Lewis, Jefferson and Oswego — the online collection now contains almost 2.3 million pages from 52 newspapers. The newspapers span more than 200 years. The oldest issues on the website come from the Plattsburgh Republican and date from 1811, three years before the famed Battle of Plattsburgh during the War of 1812. In the April 12, 1811 issue, we find out who has mail left at the post office, who died that week, who got married, who wrote letters to the editor, and which state senators’ seats needed to be filled during the lieutenant governor ’s election. For the history buff, the genealogy hobbyist and the serious researcher, Northern New York Historical Newspapers is a treasure trove of information. People can easily get mesmerized by the volumes of stories here. Time flies when you are having fun learning about local history. The process of digitizing the News Enterprise from 1924 to the present will be routine. The Adirondack Museum’s librarian has graciously given us per-
mission to use their microfilm copies of the paper and will loan them to the NNYLN. The microfilm will be scanned, and the images will be run through optical character recognition (OCR) software and be indexed. The indexed images will then be placed on the Network’s web server, interfaced with a search engine and made available to the public over the Internet. When we began researching this project in February, we didn’t know how much the digitization project would cost or where we would put the issues online. After all, the Northern New York Historical Newspapers project does not serve most of the News Enterprise’s readership: the Warren County town of Johnsburg and the Hamilton County towns of Indian Lake and Long Lake. Luckily, our paper serves the Essex County towns of Minerva and Newcomb, so we were welcomed into the Network’s family. And, because we are part of the family, digitizing the News Enterprise will be free for us. We can’t thank the Network and the Adirondack Museum enough for their generosity. We’re not sure when the back issues of the News Enterprise will be available online, but we’re hoping it will be sometime in 2012. We hope to get even more historic newspapers online in the future. Other newspapers in the Denton lineage currently available on Northern New York Newspapers are the Ticonderoga Sentinel (forefather of the Times of Ti), the Rouses Point North Countryman (forefather of the North Countryman) and the Essex County Republican (forefather of the Valley News). Our history is there: “This issue of the Essex County Republican begins a new chapter in this paper ’s long and distinguished career of service to its many North Country readers,” began the May 10, 1968 issue of the Essex County Republican, announcing that Denton Publications had acquired the Essex County Republican.

Prior to the March school board meeting at Keene Central, I was asked to attend to present my point of view on the issue of merging Keene Central sports with other schools. I did not expect parts of which I had to say to be published in the Valley News. I understand it is difficult for a newspaperman to get the gist of a story into a newspaper into a short article and Mr. Lobdell did a good job. Yet, if I am going to be quoted in bits and pieces, and school board meetings are supposed to be public information, the readers of the Valley News should know exactly what my speech was to the KCS school board meeting at their March meeting. Mr. Lobdell is correct. I don't support a merger one bit! Dear Keene Central Board of Education: In reference to merging our sports program with E'town or another district, it isn't just about the student enrollment. Give this some thought. Some of us may think we need E'town but they don't need us. This is a complicated issue and many are at fault. Therefore, it is not just about the numbers. It is understandable that athletics aren't for everyone. With that alone the numbers decrease. Attitude will decrease the numbers as well. The reasons of not playing the sport because of not liking the coach and not thinking there'll be enough playing time are the wrong attitude. Not wanting to play because it interferes with after school free time is wrong also. Team sports only come around once in a lifetime. Facebook, video games, etc. will always be there. Some students won't play the traditional team sports because there are other options such as track and hockey which are offered through this school. This option hurts the traditional sports. Do the math. The fact that this option has been available for some time has definitely impacted the numbers willing to play the traditional sports. It has encouraged many athletes to do their own thing and not being part of the group or the team. Here is a place where the boys can field a varsity soccer team with two or three on the bench but cannot field a baseball team, a sport that requires about the same numbers. A varsity basketball team needs less than that. Keene has a brand new gym and a new baseball field with no one with the desire to use it. Sad.Questio - what kind of school spirit exists at Keene now? After sitting back and watching this whole deal for a few years why was it me who had to come down here and ask why a sports schedule was not posted on cable? Doesn't anyone within this system think of this? Does anyone care? And thank you for posting it this year by the way. At least twice this year during the JV boys basketball games the bleachers were only pulled out just enough to seat the front row. I am so glad the custodial staff encourages community support for our teams. If pulling the bleachers out is such a difficult task they should play basketball games next season on the tennis court. It is good to see it when members of the faculty and staff can make it to a game. It means a lot to the kids and those who make an appearance at times I thank you. On the other side I have to wonder when students who are chatting about sports in a study hall are told by a superior they can talk about anything else except sports. I am a proud alumnus of Keene Central. To all parties involved fix this. I do not support a sports merger. Matt Dumas KCS 1982
t was my daughter’s birthday this week and while she lives in another state, I spoke with her at some length on the telephone. Though it was not spoken, I sensed that she did not want to hang up any more than I did. Though there were pregnant pauses and uncomfortable gaps, the conversation ended with KidsByCount “I love you.” Scot Hurlburt I later realized that perhaps we had reached yet another relationship destination, one of many that have occurred along the way. As parents, it is a curious paradox in that we bond with our children through their dependence on us but at the same time we encourage and hope that they are becoming their own person, capable of taking care of themselves and ultimately finding their way in the world on their own. My daughter arrived in the world easily, a very short labor and there she was. At home, it soon became a ritual to look at a book or rock in a chair and then I would play a song accompanied with my guitar,putting her to sleep right away. As I found myself having to attend conferences for several days at a time for work I made tapes so she could hear me sing before bed. She could not go to sleep easily without hearing me sing. I did not know how special that need made me feel until one day, she didn’t want me to sing to her at night anymore. Ah, the paradox, she was making her own decision about a bedtime ritual, a first destination; letting go. Being an only child meant that just about every weekend, we had one or more extra girls with us. At first, games included adults but not for long, her friends became her focus. It was a fabulous time and the many young girls that came to visit greatly enriched our lives with many unforgettable and memorable moments. The house was filled with sounds of children running, laughing and singing. They made themselves up in makeup and made short videos that they then watched. I was invited to watch for a while, over time that invitation was relinquished; letting go. I frequently drove my daughter to school and one day when she was in fourth grade, just before we arrived at school she told me that if I wanted to hug her and kiss her, I should do it now before arriving at school. Those few, benign words slammed in to me like a howling freight train. I stopped at the stop sign and reached over for a kiss on the cheek and hoped she wouldn’t see how hard it had hit me. I remember calling a friend and doing something that I had not done in twenty years. I cried that day and forever after I was transformed by that event into someone that cried, almost a stranger to myself in this regard. It was a new destination for me and my daughter. Never a fan of gushy movies, I sat teary eyed as Johnny so famously said; “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” And so I strangely became a fan of the chick flick and I watched with my daughter and her friends the many tear jerking films that I had never seen before or even knew existed. At one point I found myself needing to gain my composure at a movie theatre while my daughter walked by chuckling. I don’t think she understood then, nor did I, just how much fatherhood had changed me; a new destination. I had to learn to let her suffer her hurts though they probably injured me nearly as much as they did her. I celebrated her triumphs but more and more at a distance; letting go. Still there were times, even as a teenager, that she laid her head on my lap and fell asleep while I stroked her hair and listened to her deep slow breathing as I had so alertly done when she was a baby. I was holding on again and she was holding me, too. To this day, though she is an adult, she sometimes sits on my knee and snuggles her head in against my neck and it is a brief, transcendent moment where I am young, she is a baby and that feeling of completeness that is so fleeting, washes over me. As a parent, holding on and letting go is a walk that we make every day. We wonder if they are happy and safe just as we did when they were children. While our children leave us, some may be a world away, still, they are in our hearts and those are memories that we will always hold on to. Remember, all kids count.

To the Valley News: In 1998, the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement with the tobacco companies was enacted. This settlement severely limited tobacco advertising and restricted tobacco companies from utilizing billboard and transit advertising. Additionally, they could no longer target underage youth with print advertising. This meant that the tobacco companies would have to be creative with the manner in which they advertised toward adolescents and young adults, which is the group that is most susceptible to product marketing. Youth are now targeted through Point of Sale advertising, when tobacco products are highly visible where other items are purchased, such as by the registers in convenience and grocery stores and pharmacies. Research shows that kids who shop at stores with tobacco marketing two or more times a week are 64 percent more likely to start smoking than their peers who don’t. By covering up tobacco products at these locations, other countries have been able to boast significant dccrcascs in youth smoking rates. The New York State Tobacco Control Program has launched a new media campaign that plainly states that our kids have seen enough. They are bombarded with tobacco marketing every time they shop at the stores that prominently display tobacco products. It is time to change as 22,500 NYS children under the age of 18 become new daily smokers each year. Help lower youth smoking rates by supporting changes to reduce youth exposure to in-store tobacco marketing. To View and support our new tobacco marketing campaign visit www.tobaccofreenys.org. Encourage children to speak up and say that they have seen enough. Jill Rock Adirondack Tobacco Free Network
Stop selling ‘our’ property To the Valley News: How long are the American people going to stand by while public bureaucrats sell off public property to the highest bidder? The Essex County Board of Supervisors may have the ability to sell the nursing home, but they do not have the moral authority to sell public property. The Horace Nye Nursing Home is owned by the residents of Essex County. To sell that “commons” (owned by the public citizens), they are morally obligated to get permission from the constituency: a referendum that is approved by 75-percent of the citizens of Essex County. This country finds, tries, and convicts embezzlers for absconding with the property of others. Why do we allow public officials to manage public property by selling it? I say “NO!” Corporate/financial interests have stolen public property so often, that the public believes this process is “business as usual.” No; it is a form of embezzlement! I know. Let’s allow Jan Brewer to sell the Grand Canyon. Our national heritage should be protected by private ownership (and exploitation). Right? C. R. Touby Saranac Lake

Elizabethtown-Lewis superintendent to retire at end of school year School board will begin search for new supervisor
By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — After 39 years in education and nine years of service as the Superintendent of School for the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, Gail Else will officially retire as of June 30. “I’ve been all over the place, and I’ve worked a long time in education and this is going to be the last piece of my career,” Else said. The school board approved the motion to accept Else’s letter of retirement at the March 29 meeting. Else is the mother of two and now a grandmother to a 9-month old, Olivia.

Horse Liniment Erases Pain HIALEAH, FL — An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs, is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula. According to a national drug store survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back to the market under the trade name ARTH ARREST and says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, the ARTH ARREST formula is useful in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, tendonitis, and more. For more information go to www.artharrest.com. ARTH ARREST is available in a convenient roll-on applicator at pharmacies without a prescription or call 1-800-339-3301. Now available at:

ELIZABETHTOWN — A local food pantry will be able to meet the needs of a community for a month with funds raised by piles of pancakes. The Kiwanis Club of Elizabethtown held its second annual Pancake Breakfast March 25 at the Deer's Head Inn and served over 92 people. $1,000 in proceeds were donated to the Community Food Shelf on Williams Street. “I was completely overwhelmed at the generosity and the amount that they raised for the food shelf,” Marilyn Jordan, director of the Community Food Shelf said. According to Mike Parker, Kiwanis President, attendance jumped in the fundraisers second year after 60 people enjoyed the breakfast in 2011. “We really appreciate the people who came out to the breakfast and helped us raise money for the food shelf,” Parker said. “There is a need for those who are doing okay to help those who just need a little bit of help.” The food-buying power of that donation will allow the shelf to buy 2,000 pounds of food through the regional food bank in Latham. Jordan said the food will feed area families who utilize the food shelf for a month. After learning about the increased need for the food shelf last year, Park-

Lewis to start work on comprehensive plan LEWIS — The Town of Lewis is starting work on our first ever Comprehensive Plan with support from an Adirondack Community Smart Growth grant. This effort will require extensive input and involvement from residents in order to write a meaningful plan for Lewis. The town has distributed a survey townwide asking residents their opinion of Lewis today and what they want to see in the future to begin the planning process. Surveys have been mailed to residents. Completed surveys can be dropped off at the Town Hall, Vaughan’s Country Store, Kim’s Karpets or
the Kinney Drugs in Elizabethtown. Additional copies of the survey can be picked up at those locations as well. Lewis residents can also go to www.placesense.com/lewis and complete the survey online. The town is hosting an initial community workshop on Saturday, May 5, at 9 a.m. at the First Congregational Church hall. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. with coffee, tea, juice and a variety of nibbles available. The workshop will get underway at 9 a.m. and will finish up by noon. At the workshop, talk will focus on Lewis today and what is needed in the future. They ask interested persons to
think about what they hope will stay the same about Lewis and what they want to see change. Together, it will create a vision statement that will describe what residents want Lewis to look, feel and be like in the future. The vision statement will be the driving force behind our Comprehensive Plan. The town is also holding a photo contest at the workshop. More information about the Lewis comprehensive planning project is available at www.placesense.com/lewis or by contacting the planner assisting us with this effort, Brandy Saxton, at 546-7470.

Three injured on I-87 By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com LEWIS — Emergency officials responded to a one-car accident around 1:15 p.m. Monday, April 16 that resulted in the injury of three Canadian women. The accident, involving a Chevrolet Cruze carrying three passengers from Quebec, took place in the in the northbound lane of Interstate 87 off of exit 32.

North Elba seeks to give away skateboard park equipment locally Offered to village, may be headed to Saranac Lake
DOT: No bike lanes for Route 86
By Andy Flynn
andy@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — The town of North Elba will be giving away its equipment at the local skateboard park, but the question remains: Will it stay in Lake Placid or be shipped to Saranac Lake? North Elba won’t be funding an attendant at the skateboard park adjacent to the Shipman Youth Center as it has recently, and the equipment remains behind a locked fence and is not being used. “It didn’t quite work out the way we had hoped,” Councilman Bob Miller said at the North Elba Town Board meeting on April 10. In the summer of 2010, the town funded an attendant to manage the skateboard park. It was sunny that year, Miller said, and the park was open for 63 days. “Thirty-eight days no kids showed up at all,” Bob said. “And out of the days that kids did show up, it was for 10 or 15 minutes.” The Youth Center doesn’t want the skateboard park equipment. The Lake Placid Central School District doesn’t want it. The Olympic Regional Development Authority doesn’t want it. And the town doesn’t have any land to put it on. “I think some are open to giving it to the kids in Saranac Lake or Wilmington ... because they want the equipment,” Miller said. “We’re not using it ... We want kids to use this equipment.”

The North Elba town board is seeking to give away its skateboard park to one of the neighboring municipalities. Photo by Andy Flynn Town Supervisor Roby Politi said he will ask Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall if the village wants to have the equipment and move it to village property. “I think we have an obligation to exhaust all avenues before you make a decision to move it outside the community because it was something that was given here, but I think that we all agree with you (that) it makes no sense to have equipment, that kids could be using, that’s sitting and not being utilized,” Politi said. Asked April 16 whether the village of Lake Placid wants the skateboard park equipment, Mayor Randall said he hasn’t spoken with Politi yet about the potential gift, so it’s too early to comment. Yet the village faces similar space issues and doesn’t have any
parks department since the town manages the village parks under a special agreement. “I’m not sure we’re in any better situation than the town is,” Randall said. Councilman Derek Doty said it’s also worth noting that there will be a financial obligation for any new owner of the equipment. “We can’t just pick up those pieces and replace them,” Doty said. “A major pad has to be poured.” Politi said he has been in touch with the skateboard park organizers in Saranac Lake, and they are eager to acquire the equipment. “The folks in Saranac Lake said they have the funding for the slab and would be able to provide that,” Politi said.
Randy Preston: Sell the Horace Nye Nursing Home By Tim Follos
tim@denpubs.com W I L M I N G TO N — R e s p o n d i n g t o a question from the press, Wilmington Sup e r v i s o r R a n d y P re s t o n t o o k a s t ro n g stand against public ownership of the Horace Nye nursing home at an April 10 Wilmington town council meeting. “If you go on to the Department of Health website, under their inspections, and you pull up the inspections for our publicly held home and the inspections for the three places that have bid for it, we did not fare well,” Preston said. “It was quite eye-opening to see how the public ones rated. Our report was quite bad.” The Department of Health’s Complaint and Incident Summary Report for the period between early 2009 and early 2012 shows that Horace Nye had 29.9 complaints per 100 occupied bed.

There was over $300,000 last year in workers’ compensation. If we don’t sell the Horace Nye Home, we’re looking at a 30-40 percent tax increase and/or laying off at least 50 people from the county. So, they’re really tough choices, but from what I’ve seen we should not be in the nursing home business. We’re not good at it.” Town council members also discussed an open position at the town youth center at the April 10 meeting. “We’re basically looking for somebody, or
LP Horse show dates set LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid and I Love New York Horse Shows return to Lake Placid June 26 through July 8, and feature every level of competition from children under 7 competing in the Juliam Farm Lead Line class to Olympic veterans competing in two $75,000 Grand Prix events. The two-week long horse show series is one of the most highly regarded stops on the nation’s hunter-jumper circuit. Along with many highlighted competitions throughout the two weeks, two featured competitions are held which showcase the talent and finesse of many of the nation’s top riders and Olympic veterans. Two $75,000 Grand Prix, the pinnacle of equestrian show jumping competition, are held Sunday, July 1, and one on Saturday, July 7. Following the second Grand Prix, the Richard and Diana Feldman Perpetual Challenge Trophy for Excellence is awarded to the rider who has won the most combined prize money in the two Grand Prix. Also returning is the $15,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby, presented by Eastern Hay and Purina Mills, on Sunday, July 8. The Derby, held in the Richard M. Feldman Grand Prix Field, adds a unique spin on traditional hunter classes as participants compete over a course of jumps designed to simulate natural obstacles set in the horse show's large grass Grand Prix field. Further information on the Lake Placid Horse Shows presented by Sea Shore Stables, LLC is available by calling the Lake Placid Horse Show Association at 523-9625 or on line at lakeplacidhorseshow.com.

two people, to run the place,” Preston said. The youth center is generally open in the evenings and on weekends. The part-time position offers no benefits. “We’re hoping that the successful candidate or candidates can actually do some programming with the kids, have some different activities scheduled weekly and let people know what we have to offer,” he added. The town council also briefly discussed the upcoming AuSable River Two Fly Challenge (May 18 and 19) and the fifth annual Team Placid Planet Wilmington-Whiteface Road Race, which will be held on June 9. The bike race will start at the town park and finish at Santa’s Workshop. The race will take place on Bonnieview Road, Silver Lake Road, Goodrich Mills Road, Turnpike Road and the Guideboard Road, and rolls through the towns of Swastika and Black Brook as well as Wilmington. The next town council meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 8.
LAKE PLACID — During their April 10 meeting, Jim Morganson asked North Elba Town Board members whether they had received any feedback or information regarding bike lanes on Route 86 or Old Military Road. Supervisor Roby Politi said he had received a letter from the state Department of Transportation (DOT) commissioner in 2011 saying that the state would be resurfacing Route 86 between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid and between Lake Placid and Wilmington. “Kudos to them,” Politi said, giving credit to Commissioner Joan McDonald and Gov. Andrew Cuomo. “I’d like to think that the commissioner of transportation responded to the quotes about the Ho Chi Minh trail ... It was pretty bad. But I think that when they drove over it, they too recognized the severe condition of that roadway.” Town Board members passed a resolution requesting the state of New York to have a designated bike lane when resurfacing Route 86 between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. But DOT spokesperson Carol Breen told the Valley News April 17 that the 4.3-mile Route 86 repaving project from Saranac Lake to the Old Military Road in Lake Placid will not include bike lanes. The work will begin in May and is expected to take three weeks to complete. As part of the NY Works Program, the governor announced April 3 that the 12.1-mile stretch of Route 86 between Lake Placid and Wilmington to the intersection of Route 431 will be resurfaced this year. The project will start this summer and finish be completed by the fall. The contract is worth $3,539,030. The top layer of asphalt will be removed and replaced with new pavement. “The project does not include reconstructing the road or building bike lanes, which would add significant cost to the project,” Breen said. “We are going to create additional room on the shoulder by reducing the travel lanes to 10 feet in width from their current 11 feet.” Restriping the lanes will provide an extra foot of shoulder room for bicyclists, according to Breen. “The shoulder width varies along the route, but average shoulder width will be 4 feet once the project is completed,” Breen said.
FaceWork Art Show at Library
Kindergarten registration set
LAKE PLACID — The first Student FaceWorking Show will open at the Lake Placid Public Library on Wednesday, April 25, 4 to 6 p.m. The show is comprised of works from two schools and 20 students. The event is organized by Nip Rogers. Rogers, the force behind recent, very successful Social FaceWorking shows at the arts center here and at the Proctor Theater in Schenectady, is introducing a slightly different version of the concept to bring students from Saranac Lake High School and Northwood School together. The participants have linked to each other through social sites and have created portraits of each other in different medias, which will be on display along with other works by the young artists. “Not only is this a chance for the students to learn to work with different artists and teachers it’s also an opportunity to learn to mount, hang and market their show. They will get advice from some of the artists that were on display at the LPCA Gallery Social FaceWorking show, an opportunity not often available to high school students in the northern Adirondacks,” said Rogers. He added that showing fresh, new art is part of the objectives of the series of shows. “With so many local students involved from these two schools, we expand the knowledge and open the eyes of not only those directly involved, but also of the people of the community along with friends, family and visitors.”

Sayward speaks at county committee meetings Willsboro CS keeps By Keith Lobdell budget inside cap keith@denpubs.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward brought the message of the New York State budget to members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors for her final time. Sayward, the state assemblywoman for the 113th district who will be retiring at the end of the year, spoke at the beginning of the Department of Public Works committee meeting April 16. She said there has been a lot accomplished over the past year and in the new state budget, including moves to consolidate services and trim excess equipment. "All these things might seem like little things but over time when you combine
these agencies and sell the surplus it really saves and it is something that governments need to do," Sayward said. The assemblywoman also added that Gov. Andrew Cuomo was given a fund to help out communities, including the use of monies to pay for the local share of recovery for Tropical Storms Irene and Lee. "He is making sure that our counties and communities were made whole as far as the flooding went and the state is going to pick up that local share," Sayward said. "If the communities want the assessors to go out and re-evaluate the properties so owners can see tax relief on their properties, we would hope that the governor would put some money towards making those communities whole and ease the expected drop in assessments." Sayward also talked about her time in of-
fice as both a member of the county board (representing Willsboro) and as assemblywoman. "It has been a privilege to serve this district and this region and this county," she said. "This board has always had a special place in my heart. I will be working as hard as I can right up until the end of December. I look forward to helping you for the rest of the year. Every single one of you has done something for me and I thank you for that." Sayward added that she would continue to help the region in any way possible. "We have done some great work together and there is more that can be done," she said. "I am not going away. I am looking for an opportunity to help the people here in the Adirondacks. We all have to work together to make this thing happen."
CFES welcomes Kentucky educators to region ESSEX — On March 6, 14 educators from Berea, Kent., arrived at CFES headquarters in Essex to participate in an intensive two-and-a-half-day workshop, the first of two planning sessions leading up to the launch of the Berea CFES Scholars Program in September 2012. In partnership with Berea College, CFES will work with 49 schools across Eastern Kentucky’s Appalachia region in 2012-13 to implement a GEAR UP program designed to change the educational and, ultimately, the economic landscape in 13 counties and create a college-going culture that sets high expectations for all children. The Berea CFES Scholars Program will target 13,000 students in grades 6-8 to participate in the three CFES core practices – mentoring, pathways to college, and leadership through service – through activities that will also engage families as partners. During the initial workshop in Essex, March 6-9, the Berea educators talked
about their districts and the communities they serve, touching on local demographics, the regional economy, and the students and families targeted for CFES intervention. Between sessions participants explored the area in and around Essex, hiking in the Adirondack Mountains, maple sugaring at a nearby farm, and riding the ferry across Lake Champlain to get a more expansive view of the lake and the surrounding region. “The workshop was an extremely pro-
ductive start to what I hope is a long partnership between Berea College and CFES,” Dreama Gentry, Director of Externally Sponsored Programs at the College, said. CFES President and CEO Rick Dalton welcomes the opportunity to work with schools in Appalachia, citing the organization’s impressive track record in rural schools across the country. “We are excited about partnering with Berea College and educators in Eastern Kentucky to help make college a reality for underserved students in Appalachia.” In July CFES professional staff will travel to Berea to conduct a planning and training workshop for teams of educators from the participating districts and representatives from Berea College.

WILLSBORO — The Willsboro Central School Board of Education adopted a budget with a 2.12 percent increase to the tax cap that will now go before the district’s voters May 15. “We have had that number there for some time and this is the budget that was recommended and unanimously approved by the budget committ ee,” Su per i n t en den t St eph en Broadwel l t ol d members of the board during its April 16 meeting. The school’s spending plan will not change in the next year, as the 2012-13 plan will have an identical number to the 2011-12 total of $7,894,867 in spending. Revenues dropped slightly, creating the differen ce i n t h e t ax l ev y, wh i ch was adopt ed at $4,762,188 for 2012-13, a $98,947 over the 2011-12 levy, or 2.12 percent. Broadwell and members of the board complimented the members of the budget committee for their work. “It is a great group that works collectively tog et h er,” Broadwel l sai d. “Th ey wor k h ard t o weigh both the needs of the school as well as the needs of the community.” “It is a big responsibility to do what this committee does,” board member Phyllis Klein said. “I want to thank the people who served on this committee.” “It’s not just the board members, but a budget com m i t t ee t h at i s m ade u p of represen t at i v es from the community, which is quite nice,” board vice president Bruce Hale said. Th e b oard adv er t i ses an d sol i ci t s resi den t s from the community as well as staff members and representatives from the teachers to serve on the committee. Also at the meeting, Broadwell announced that Klein had submitted a petition to run for another t er m as a m em b er of t h e b oard, wh i l e Don Hollingsworth filed a petition to run for the seat currently held by Scott Sayward, who said that he was not seeking another term.

On Tuesday, March 20, 33 students from Lake Placid, Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake high schools that comprise the Adirondack Early College High School program spent part of the day at North Country Community College and at the Adirondack Medical Center learning about college and careers in the health care field. “The visit to AMC and NCCC was an eye-opening experience for many of our students. Even though most are only 14 or 15 and still a few years away from making college or career decisions, the students learned of the many exciting career avenues open to them in the health care field, and they also learned that a college education can open the door to these and many other future choices,” said Roger Catania, LPHS Guidance Counselor. “Hopefully, knowing what the future has to offer inspires them to work hard in school today, and helps them to understand the connection between what they learn in their classes today and the decisions they will make about their lives in the years to come.”

community service.”
SARANAC LAKE — Saranac Lake Village Board members continue to work on their proposed 2012-13 spending plan and will hold their annual budget hearing at 5 p.m. Friday, April 20 at the village offices at 39 Main St. Before village officials began holding budget work sessions this past week, they were faced with a 6.4 percent ($215,868) hike in the tax levy for the general fund. On Monday, April 16, board members held a public hearing on a proposed local law that would override the state’s mandate of a 2 percent maximum tax levy increase. Nobody spoke during the hearing, accord-
ing to Village Clerk Kareen Tyler. Trustees did not adopt the law Monday and could do it on April 20, Tyler said. Village Treasurer Paul Ellis has said the budget increase is mainly due to an extra $90,000 in pension costs and a $103,543 annual payment for the million-dollar Rebuild Saranac Lake Bond Issue, which pays for replacing miles of streets and sidewalks. When initially filed, the tentative budget — general fund — totalled $5,026,435 and the proposed tax levy was $3,567,133. The amount to be raised by taxes was expected to increase by 30 percent for Water and 6 percent for Sewer. Cuts are expected during the ongoing budget work sessions.

Ward Lumber pilots Zero-Sort shrink wrap recycling program at plant JAY— Ward Lumber is once again partnering with Casella Waste Systems to lead the way in unique and innovative sustainable solutions. As the first business in Essex County to impleme nt Ze ro -So rt R e c yc ling, Wa rd Lumber has taken that success as a motivation to break new ground in renewing the lifecycle of yet another waste stream, used plastic wrap. Ward Lumber is beginning this pilot program to re cycle us e d p la s ti c s hr ink wrap by using a light blue Casella ZeroSort bag made especially large to accommodate the bulkiness associated with the material. They are currently the only test site Casella is working with to pilot this new methodology to capture a stream that until this point has been hard to manage. Ward Lumber is currently working with a number of contractors that are utilizing Casella’s bags to aid in the collection of their used plastic shrink wrap. Once a bag is full, it goes into a Casella Zero-Sort container at Ward Lumber ’s facility as part of their Zero-Sort recycling service. The bags th en get trans p o rte d to C a s e lla ’ s Ze ro -
Sort processing facility in Rutland, Vermont, where the blue bag is easily identified, collected, and baled to ultimately be tur ne d b a ck i n t o u s e f u l p ro d u ct s o n ce again. "At Ward Lumber, we are working hard to reduce our waste streams,” Jay Ward, President of Ward Lumber, said. “Previously, used shrink wrap that was thrown in our trash is now being recycled in this test. We are looking forward to continued p a r tic i p a t i o n i n t h i s p i l o t p ro g ra m i n p a r tne r s h i p wi t h Ca s e l l a , a n d we h o p e our efforts aid in creating a positive, ecofriendly future for the communities we serve." "Ward Lumber has been such a wonderful example of a business taking the initiative to do the right thing", Melissa LaClair, Territory Manager at Casella, said. "We're excited to be working with Ward Lum be r, wh o h a s e n t h u s i a s t i ca l l y e mbr a c e d o u r Z e ro - S o rt re cy cl i n g s e rv i ce . We look forward to our continued partnership in making the recycling of more materials both simple and easy for Ward Lumber and their customers."

Few industries have grown as much in the last decade-plus as the home improvement industry. Whereas it was once commonplace for homeowners to have a handyman on speed dial, nowadays homeowners handle not only the routine upkeep necessary to maintain a home, but many home improvement projects as well.
Deck Jig System ensures homeowners can vastly improve their deck no matter how pressed for time they might be. Paint A New Look Inside Spring is often seen as a season of rejuvenation, so why not give your home a brand new look by repainting the interior? Veteran DIYers can no doubt recall when painting took as much elbow grease as it did time, but times have changed. Thanks to the new Fein MultiMaster, the tedious and time-consuming job of scraping old paint with a putty knife and sanding tight spaces with paper wrapped around your finger is a thing of the past. The MultiMaster’s profiled sanding pads make scraping old paint easier than ever before, while its multiple user-friendly accessories that scrape, cut, shave, sand, polish, and remove grout make the MultiMaster an ideal companion for homeowners with several projects on tap this spring.
Home expert Danny Lipford, host of the nationally syndicated TV show, Today’s Homeowner, and radio show, Homefront, said, “Today you’ve got not only an amazing selection of tools to help with every project, but they also shorten the time it used to take to complete the project. When you couple that with all the DIY instruction and programming out there, it’s no wonder we have the confidence to do more on our own.” As popular as home improvement projects have become, many homeowners still find themselves pressed for time when it comes to tackling projects around the house. For homeowners without much time during the week, Woodcraft offers the following projects tailor-made for weekendw arriors.
Tackle Indoor Projects On Rainy Days Spring might be synonymous with feelings of rejuvenation, but it also brings spring showers. On rainy weekends, tackle interior projects with the Rockwell BladeRunner. Whether you want to cut and install base molding, chair rails or hardwood flooring or frame and trim windows and doors, the lightweight, portable BladeRunner is your go-to tool. This precision cutter’s variable-speed motor control and simple blade changing mechanism allow you to easily cut wood, metal, ceramic tile, aluminum, and plastic using a T-shank jigsaw blade. You can operate the BladeRunner on a benchtop or use the convenient wall mount bracket. Attach the tool’s dust port to your shop vac for easy cleanup.
Ready The Deck For Summer Fun With spring on the horizon, the season to relax on the deck and soak up the sun is right around the corner. Homeowners can upgrade their deck and create an incredibly strong wood-to-wood bond with the Kreg Deck Jig System. Compatible with composite deck boards and ACQ treated lumber, the Kreg Deck Jig System can help homeowners create a beautiful and functional deck surface that’s completely free of exposed fasteners and painful splinters. The Kreg Deck Jig System’s easy grip handles help DIYers gain a secure hold and completely control each and every joint, while the system’s three separate drill guides allow for easy installation of deck boards in a variety of hardto-reach areas. When combined with a few simple tools homeowners already own, the Kreg
maintained tools. Homeowners should take inventory of their tools before beginning any projects to ensure the tools won’t cause any delays. The Work Sharp(R) Knife and Tool Sharpener can bring tools back to life in a matter of minutes. This handheld, motorized tool sharpens any knife as well as scissors, tin snips, garden shears, and even lawn mower blades for green thumbers. The sharpener’s patented FlexTek(TM) belt technology conforms to the shape of any blade, practically guaranteeing a sharp edge and ensuring your next home improvement project will start off on the right foot. Work Smarter Tackling a home improvement project in a single weekend might not be easy, but DIYers can take steps to make such projects easier. For example, Vibe-Away Anti-Slip Pads are made from recycled tires and designed to reduce the transfer of vibration that occurs in most woodworking tools and stationary equipment. This shock absorption pad helps reduce sound, vibrations, and pulsating of router tables, scrollsaws, table saws and other benchtop or stationary machines, making it easier to complete a project mistakefree and in less time. LOC-Blocks Interlocking Material Gripping Blocks grip both the work surface as well as your project without the use of any clamps. The nonslip pads support work during assembly without leaving marks, while the non-marring pads allow homeowners to lift work above the surface while finishing edges.

Plan your renovation smartly
the arrival of new leaves on the trees and budding flowers in the garden. A landscape awash with fresh colors can brighten the spirit and make anyone want to head outdoors.
As you tear apart thew allpaper, replacethe cupboards and strip thefloorboa rds, experts caution not to reach for that bucket of paint beforei nvestigating the innards of your walls.
There are many different plants that begin to show their colors in the spring. A number of perennials, annuals and trees begin to flower or show new sprouts come the springtime. Here are some plants that can be planted for springtime enjoyment. Annuals
Insulationa nd infrastructurea re significant to the foundation and value of your property, so bringing in a home inspector or appraiser allows you to make corrections early, before you’ve finalized the renovation plans. Common problems centre on air leakage and poor insulation issues, experts tell us. The latest research, for example, indicates that traditional fibreglass and cellulose insulation are less reliable than contemporary spray foam insulation. Foams, like those from Icynene, are known to decrease the presence of common airborne irritants, reduce air and water penetration and reduce energy costs. When you sell your home, spray foam insulation stands to give a better return on investment than dated insulation. More information on this topic is available online at icynene.com. Few things are anticipated more in spring than
These plants will come back year after year and offer spring shows. • Cherry blossom: The flowers that sprout on cherry trees are some of the first signs of spring. Their pink or white buds are often a spectacle, so much so that towns and cities hold cherry blossomf estivals. • C olumbine: These beautiful blooms attract butterflies and can be a nice part of a garden bed.
Looking for first signs of color? Look no further than these wonderful annuals. • Alyssum: Starting in April, this cascading bounty of tiny flowers offers a sweet aroma that attractsb utterflies. • D ianthus: These vivid flowers also attract butterflies and are often a cottage garden staple. • G ypsophila: Also known as baby’s breath, these delicate flowers can serve as filler in any landscape. Pink and white varieties are available. •I mpatiens: One of the best-known plants for the garden, these annuals come in scores of colors and can generally tolerate full sun to full shade. • L arkspur: Belonging to the buttercup family, these flowers bloom in shades of white to violet. • P ansy: These flowers are some of the earliest spring bloomers, arriving alongside spring bulbs liket ulips. • P etunias: Petunias put on a show of color through the entire season, making them a popular bedding flower.

• Jacob’s ladder: Variegated foliage that is dappled with violet-colored flowers can add a sweet smell and visual interest to the garden. • P rimrose: These flowers come in a variety of shades, making them versatile in any garden. They also tend to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. • Sweet violet: These fragrant flowers are edible as well as attractive. These plants can self-plant, so unless a gardener wants them to spread, they should be kept contained.

‘Beer tent’ may return for one year trial run at Essex County Fair By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com E L I Z A B E T H TO W N — T h e re t u r n o f a "beer tent" to the Essex County Fair is one step closer. Members of the Department of Public Works Committee voted 5-2 to move a resolution to the Ways and Means Committee meeting April 16 that would allow a beer area during the annual event for a one-year trial run. "The fair would like to go back to selling beer - just beer," Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell said. "Most fairs have gone back to it. It would be in a confined space and controlled. They are only allowed to buy a certain number of beers." Connell said that one of the main reasons behind the return of the beer area would be to curtail the amount of alcohol that was entering the grounds. "This dramatically cuts back on the number of beers that are brought onto the g ro u n d s , " C o n n e l l s a i d . " T h e re i s s o m e money in it, but most fairs are doing it bec a u s e i t c o n t ro l s t h e a m o u n t t h a t i s brought into the grounds from outside."
Some supervisors questioned if county backing to approve the facility was a wise move. "I have been in the beer tent when it was there before, but as far as the county goes, today is a different era," Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said. "We support substance abuse and all of these different programs, and you have to wonder what kind of message we are sending if we do something that goes in the other direction." "I really need to consider the long-term implications," Lewis Supervisor David Blades said. "I know there were a number o f e v e n i n g s w h e n i t g o t p re t t y t i c k l i s h over there. To me, its more of an image p ro b l e m t h e n i t i s a n y t h i n g e l s e . T h e county may not be the one that is running the fair, but it is county-owned property." "I do not think that it will improve the attendance," Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell said. "I would rather not see the beer. I buy beer, I drink beer and I used to sell beer, but I would prefer not to see the beer there." North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said he felt the county was not sending the wrong message since they were not the

He added that there are a number of situ a t i o n s t h ro u g h o u t t h e c o u n t y w h e re towns were selling beer on property they owned. " We s e l l b e e r o n t h e m u n i c i p a l g o l f courses," Politi said. "I do understand the argument with regards to appearance and I do have a problem with that. If this is being done by the fair association and it is specific to this event, then I do not know if I have a problem with that." Connell said that the members of the fair committee had been through all of the things that would be needed to sell beer at the fair, and that sales would be limited to only beer. "There would be no wine or other alcohol," he said. "Our fair facilities committee went through everything we needed to on alcohol sales, including insurance and everything that has to be in place." Connell said that the tent would be located near the center of the fairgrounds. "There will be a tent set up and they will have to stay in the tent with the beer," joy the vehicles on exhibit. Vote for your favorite one. Grab a meal from the food vendors. There will be vendors, raffles, and 50/50 drawing plus at 3 p.m. PAC will put on a wrestling show for your entertainment at the grandstand. Live music throughout the day until 7 p.m. Admission is $3 each.
Connell said. "There is an area for it to be consumed and the only place where it can be." Connell said that the fair had previously stopped the practice of a beer tent due to liability concerns, but that the process for getting proper coverage has changed and a lot of other fairs have gone back to having a beer tent. " I f t h e y a re g o i n g t o g o t h ro u g h t h e state board and have an ABC officer, I do not have a problem with that," Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said. Connell, Morrow, Politi, Newcomb Supervisor and DPW Committee chair George Canon and St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency voted to pass the resolution on to the Ways and Means Committee. Voting against the motion were Scozzafava and Marnell, while Essex Supervisor Sharon Boisen and Keene Supervisor Wi l l i a m F e re b e e w e re a b s e n t f ro m t h e meeting. The resolution will be brought before the Ways and Means Committee Monday, April 30. If passed, it will go before the full board for a weighted vote the following Monday.

State to help out Irene-affected communities By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — New York State will take the bill for Tropical Storm Irene and Lee cleanup. The state announced late last week that it would be paying for the 25 percent local municipal share of disaster costs not covered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which will pay 75 percent of repair and recovery costs related to the pair of tropical storms that hit the state in August and September of last year. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that the state will pick up the local share for most eligible expenses, making $61 million available to 25 counties to cover costs associated with emergency shelter, road, water system and infra-

Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said that the committee was a needed step in the process. “Listening to the discussion that took place here, you are going to have to

make that step to make everyone's mind feel better about the process,” Canon said. Discussion also turned to what the sub-committee should do. “I would prefer to see a group of the board fan out an do their own analysis in the field,” Blades said. “Talk to the administration and the union involved — even do a community survey because I think that you can find out a lot looking into how the communities view the homes.” “I think visiting is absolutely critical, but I think we should reach out to the state to get a feeling how the facilities currently owned are perceived by the state,” Corey said. “I think that it is important that we get all of the facts together so we can look at this apples to apples.” “I can talk to the Office of the Aging directors in the counties where these other homes are operated to get a feel of how these homes are viewed in the community,” Bashaw said. “You can't just go at one and know what you are looking at. You need to go to two or three,” Bartley added.
“You will also have access to the community, the unions and people who work at these places,” Politi said. “The people who will represent this board will be our structural inspectors in a way.” Scozzafava said that he wanted to make sure several areas were addressed in the process. “In any of these facilities, we need to determine how many of these beds are Medicare/Medicaid,” Scozzafava said. “That is critical information that we need to have. Also, regardless of whether the meetings are loaded with one side or the other side, you have to have some public meetings in this.” Politi said that, at this point, each of the supervisors should know how their constituents feel. “This has been a topic at the forefront of discussion for two years and has been a topic even longer,” he said. “I know how people in my town feel and I would hope that, as supervisors, you would already know how your constituents feel in your towns.” Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston said he felt the work needed to be done

quickly. “There should be a time limit because we cannot let this process go on and on and on,” Preston said. “We need to do our research. It is all there in black and white if you do the research.” “These people are supposed to go out and collect the information and leave their feelings out of it and give us a recommendation,” Willsboro Supervisor Ed Hatch said. “I think that everyone has had a sense of where they have wanted to go with this,” Canon said. “Does that mean when this committee comes back with information that I will not review that and say, I was wrong, maybe I should rethink that?” Scozzafava also asked that the members of the sub-committee visit all of the nursing homes involved, including Horace Nye. “If we are going to look at other nursing home, then I would think the members should go an take a look at the one that we currently operate,” he said. “I think that Tom's point about visiting Horace Nye as a group is a good idea and could even be used as a test run to what we are going to do when we go out to the other homes,” Corey added. Politi said that he hoped the committee could have their visits and study done within the next 30 days.

Tupper Lake village begins budget process with 28 percent tax increase By Andy Flynn
andy@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — Tupper Lake Village Board members began the process of crafting a 2012-13 budget this past week with the expectation of adopting a spending plan by May 1. And while trustees may exceed the state’s mandated 2 percent tax levy increase, Mayor Paul Maroun says the tax rates in the village will not increase due to the revaluation of real property this year in the town of Tupper Lake. “Normally in a reval, a third of the properties go up, a third go down, and a third stay the same. I haven’t looked at all the figures, but I‘m guessing it was roughly like that,” Maroun said at the April 16 Village Board meeting. “If your house was assessed the same as it was last year, you will have a tax reduction this year.” Not all houses will be assessed at the same level they were before the reval, as the town of Tupper Lake’s assessment rose by about $32 million, from $105,347,054 in 2011 to $137,525,069 in 2012. The post-reval tax rate is now $15.26 per $1,000 assessed, down from $15.54 per $1,000. And that tax rate decrease is giving the Village Board leverage to possibly increase the tax levy more than the 2 percent tax cap. “I’ve recommended to the board that we try and put some of the increased value in dollars into accounts so that next year we don’t have to have a dramatic increase in the tax rate … that we have a reserve fund,” Maroun said. “There’s only two things we can do. We can reduce the tax levy by a large amount and then be in trouble next year or try to put it into different accounts that we may or may not have to use, whichever is not expended roll over into our reserve account. We’re trying to be steadfast so that we have a steady ship.” During the annual budget hearing on Friday, April 13, Vil-

In some way, waterbased recreation causes us to revert to a slower pace and it returns us to a gentler place. Aristotle considered contemplation to be the greatest form of recreation. He believed contemplation was a luxury achieved only during the leisure hours. In some inexplicable manner, water sooths the human soul, it relaxes us and engenders camaraderie. Naturally, water makes us refreshingly civil, as it should, since nearly two thirds of the human body consists of water. For some odd reason, water makes us friendly. On the lakes, boaters always wave to each other in passing, even if they don’t know each other. It is a happy medium. Oddly, the folks who regularly wave to each other on the lake all summer would never dare to make eye contact while in the intimate confines of an elevator. On the water, we naturally look after each other. If someone appears stranded, and the cover is removed from their motor, boaters will flock to their aid like ants to a picnic. On the water we are all equal, sharing a precious natural resource and enjoying good times. Yet the same folks who were willing to help others on the lake will be ready to duke it out back at the dock as they jockey for position in the parking lot. It’s difficult to understand how friendly waves can change so quickly into a one-finger salute, but I’ve watched it happen time and again as soon as our feet meet pavement. It is difficult to understand why a return to civilization causes people to become instantly uncivil and toss common courtesy out the window. Water is a unique medium. It carries with it power and pain, wonder and awe, grace and glory. It has unusual effects on our psyche. In the Adirondacks, water continues to bind our towns and villages with a never-ending flow. Rare is a local community that doesn’t have a lake or pond, river or stream located within close proximity to town. We often fail to recognize water ’s ability to bring people together, to connect folks that may never get together under any other circumstances. Although I’ve witnessed it over and over again, I’ve never been able to understand why water so effects our collective mentality.
Angling courtesies
Unfortunately, there is only one sure method available for anglers to acquire the most valuable information for success on the waters. Such skills cannot be found in any

lage Board members passed a local law giving them approval to raise the tax levy above 2 percent. “Because we’re putting it (the local law) into place doesn’t mean we’re going to (exceed a 2 percent increase),” Trustee Chip Perham said at the April 16 meeting. The proposed spending plan is up 9.9 percent to $2,627,109.50, and the proposed tax levy is up about 28 percent to $2,099,066.50. “We’ll be making some cuts,” Maroun said. “I really don’t know how it’s going to shake out yet.” book, they are instilled only through experience, and absorbed over the course of long hours of patient observation. They are not hard skills such as double-hauling a long cast with a fly rod, or working a sucker on a wire line to thump bottom for lake trout on a slow back troll. Possibly, the most valuable skill an angler can acquire is an ability to get along with others, which begins with an unerring ethic to do the right thing, even when there’s nobody else around to notice. Ethics can’t be studied in a book or a video. They are instilled, and absorbed through a process of careful observation and constant study. Currently, there are an estimated 50 million active anglers in the United States. According to a recent Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation study, 99 percent of them say they learned to fish because ‘someone’ once took the time to introduce them to the sport. They had a mentor who took the time to show them how it was done. Mentors are an unselfish breed who work to insure all anglers acquire the same ethics they’ve learned. Students learn to fish through practice and a good deal of trial and error. However, students absorb ethics through observation, and there is no room for error. They learn that things are done differently on the river. Fishing is a sport that requires no referees, and no defined playing field. The rules are all natural, and there is no time clock, no cheerleaders, and no one keeps score. The most important skill they learn is the ability to be as quiet as possible, to remain observant at all times, and to extend the proper respect for all river users, whether finned or not. A key to successful angling adventures is the ability to recognize and avoid any behaviors or actions that would spoil the enjoyment of others. Of utmost importance is an unwavering personal commitment and concern for the natural resources that will continue to provide us with future angling opportunities. Believe it or not, we all live downstream. It was the jet stream that brought us acid rain, mercury and a host of other toxins that nearly destroyed the region’s fisheries. These threats are certain to continue in the future and without constant vigilance, we may not always be as fortunate as we have been to date. Today, public use of trails and rivers is growing steadily. For every person hiking on a trail in 1960, there are more than three people now putting down tracks. It is a well-known fact that travelers distribute themselves unevenly across wild places. Most of the use is concentrated in a few specific places located in a few popular wilderness areas. The Eastern High Peaks Wilderness Area offers a prime example of such concentrated use patterns. In fact, over half of all wilderness use occurs in a mere 10 percent of State-designated wilderness land, and the vast majority of that use occurs on only about 10 percent of the total trail miles. Similar patterns of use play out on most of the region’s lakes, rivers, ponds and streams, where an estimated 90 percent of all anglers concentrate their efforts on less than 10 percent of the available waters. We all want to feel like we’re the first to find a special place, to experience something ‘beyond remote.’ Many believe that this lust for wandering is in our blood, and it spawns an undeniable curiosity to find out what lies beyond the far horizon. We are all born with an innate drive toward discovery, an inexplicable need to explore our environment. However, there are only a fortunate few who still seek an opportunity to scratch this inborn itch. Most others are simply satisfied with roadside adventures. Here are a few lessons I’ve learned from those who still seek native fish in wild and desolate locations. • Go where the people aren’t! This is the single most important thing you can do to regularly catch decent fish. • Obey all state and local fishing laws, seasons and
When the mayor asked trustees if they had anything else to add about the budget process, Trustee Leon LeBlanc said, “Sharpen your pencils.” The Village Board planned a budget work session for 9 a.m. Wednesday, April 18 with department managers, including the department of public works, police department, water/wastewater department and electric department. A date had not been set to discuss the fire department budget by press time. A special meeting will be held 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 1 to adopt the 2012-13 village budget.
While the vast majority of anglers are responsible sportsmen and women, it takes only a few slobs to ruin the public perception of all fishermen. Styrofoam worm containers are responsible for ruining the image of all anglers. rules and always respect private property rights, even if no one’s around. • Do not litter. If you carry it in, take it out and leave the location cleaner than you found it. • Ask politely before approaching anyone on the water. If they don’t answer, move on. There’s no need to go where you’re not welcome. Alert fellow anglers if you have a fish on and need to intrude on their beat, and, of course, get out of the way if someone has a fish on in your area. Practice proper catch-and-release, and take only what you intend to eat. Freezing fish ruins the meat and wastes the taste. • Loosen up and relax! Angling should never become a chore. Fish upstream, and be aware of the sun, and avoid casting shadows over fish. • Never wear a watch while fishing. There is no need to know the time. A glint of sun from a watch crystal reflecting on a pool will put fish down. If they spook, rest the pool and return in 15 minutes. Fish have short memories. • Fish a likely looking hole from much further away than you deem necessary, and stay as low to the water as possible. Fish fear shadows! • When fishing from a boat, maintain a respectful distance from other anglers and resist the temptation to encroach on their territory unless invited to do so. Avoid banging around in a boat/canoe and always speak in a low voice. Respect the waters, the fish and your fellow anglers. • Just because a person is sitting down or standing on the bank without a rod, don’t assume it’s all right to fish. They may just be surveying the water or resting the pool. It’s their beat, just move along. • Don’t curse out loud. If you’ve got trout-rage, keep it inside. Use common sense and respect others and if you think they have a problem with you, just ask. • Respect other visitors and protect the quality of their experience. Be courteous. Let nature's sounds prevail, and avoid loud voices and noises. • Keep cell phones well away from the water. Most anglers come to the streams to escape such intrusions. • If you must, build a small fire and stay close. The larger the fire, the bigger the fool.

Take back day set in Essex County Supervisors debate lunch closures keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Local law enforcement will be teaming up with The Prevention Team to help dispose of old prescriptions. The Essex County Sheriff ’s Department, Ticonderoga Police Department, Lake Placid Police Department, Moriah Police Department and Prevention Team will join forces as part of National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Saturday, April 28. Doug Terbeek, Executive Director of the Prevention, said that after their take-back day last October, local law enforcement officials were happy to work together with the organization to host another. “The police departments in Ticonderoga and Lake Placid came on board right away to host take-back sites,” Terbeek said. “The Essex County Sheriff’s Department has gone above and beyond with their operation of three dropoff sites in the county.” Take-Back Day will be held from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The Ticonderoga Police will host prescription take-backs at their offices, as well the Lake Placid Police Department. The Moriah Police Department will have their take-back location at the Town Hall in Port Henry, while the Sheriff’s Department will have sited at the Town of Jay community center in Au Sable Forks, Kinney Drugs in Elizabethtown and the town offices in Minerva. Last October, almost 100 pounds of prescription drugs were collected in Essex County. “I strongly urge the citizens of Essex County to avail themselves of this program,” Sheriff Richard Cutting said. The sheriff added that Take-Back day gives law enforcement an avenue to help dispose of old prescription drugs, which have the potential to be abused. “All too often, we receive calls about what to do with legal drugs that are no longer taken or that once belonged to a loved one who has since passed,” he said. “Previously, we were at a loss for an answer. Now we have this tremendous program to safely take these drugs off shelves and out of medicine cabinets and ulti-
mately out of the hands of those who would possess them unknowingly or illegally.” According to the prevention team, rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high. “Proper disposal of expired medications ensures that individuals do not take a medication that could be potentially harmful,” Grant Martin, the pharmacist at Elizabethtown Community Hospital, said. “Many medications decompose after the expiration date and will not provide the response they are intended to. Some can even be toxic. This take back program is something that can and should be utilized by everyone.” Ticonderoga Police Chief Mark Johns encouraged residents to turn in their medications so that there will be fewer drugs available in the community that can be stolen and used illegally. “It’s especially important for seniors to have this option, as they are more vulnerable to prescription drug theft,” Johns said. The Prevention Team is working with law enforcement agencies, the Lake Placid-Wilmington CYC, local government and other community groups to inform the public of the dangers of prescription drug misuse and abuse and the need get unused Rx drugs out of homes for proper disposal. For more information on the Nationwide Rx Drug Take Back Day in Essex County, contact Mac MacDevitt at either mac@preventionteam.org or 570-5606.

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A discussion on changing the summer hours for one county department led to talk about all departments during the Finance Committee meeting April 16. County Treasurer Michael Diskin asked the members of the Essex County committee to consider a resolution allowing his office to be open from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. in June, July and August. The office is currently open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. "Since I have been there, we have seen that there is no one that comes in after 4 p.m. during the summer and we have had people lined up at the door when we have shown up in the morning," Diskin said. "It seems that people would rather get here earlier in the day during the summer." Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said that she would rather see all county offices and departments run on the same schedule. "It seems to me that if you have different hours in the summer then you have to keep changing things and it gets confusing," Bartley said. "I think that everything at the county should be on the same schedule." North Elba supervisor Roby Politi added that along with similar hours for all departments, he felt departments should be open throughout the day, including lunch hour.
"I don't care what the hours are as long as there is some consistency and each of the departments should be open during lunch," Politi said. "There is nothing worse than having someone drive down here and then they can't get into the office because they are gone to lunch." "We are supposed to be here to serve the county and not the other way around," Moriah Supervisor and Finance Committee Chairman Tom Scozzafava said. "They should not have to wait around for an hour because people are gone to lunch." "I tend to agree that if we can make this a one-stop shop, we should do that," Jay Supervisor and Board Chairman Randy Douglas said. County Manager Daniel Palmer said that the call on hours within departments had usually been made by the leaders of the department. "It has always been up to the department head when they have wanted their department closed for lunch or other hours," Palmer said. "If the board says that it wants certain hours that it wants departments open or it wants departments open by rotating lunch hours then you could look into that." "Maybe we should talk with the department heads about streamlining the work day and when their hours are," Douglas said. The resolution on the treasurer hours was tabled and Palmer said that he would prepare a report on office hours for each department by the Ways and Means meeting April 30.
