PLATTSBURGH — The Adirondack Region Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Coalition recently completed a very successful income tax assistance program that proved extremely beneficial for many low to moderate income people throughout Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties. John Bernardi, Executive Director of the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc and chairman of the EITC Coalition, reported that he had been informed by IRS representative Kathy McNulty, that $5,901,368 in federal tax refunds have been secured for eligible residents this tax season. Of the total received from the refunds $1,479,999 was Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) dollars. The records indicate that 4,885 returns were prepared between all the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites in Clinton, Essex & Franklin Counties. VITA sites were set up in all three counties to serve those seeking the free income tax filing service. In Clinton County the Senior Citizens Council on North Catherine Street in Plattsburgh served as a site along with a Fast site at The Plattsburgh Library. In Essex County the OneWorkSource in Elizabethtown, The Sherman Free Library and St. Patrick’s Parish Center in Port Henry. The Lake Placid Public Library and the Senior Citizen’s Club in Schroon Lake. In Franklin County the OneWorkSource in Malone and the Akwesasne Housing Authority. “The efforts of our Coalition are particularly important because we are helping individuals and families who really need the money. It’s good for them and it’s good for our economy,” Bernardi said. Members of the EITC Coalition are The United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc., OneWorkSource, Adirondack Community Action Programs, Inc. (ACAP), Senior Citizens Council of Clinton County, Office for the Aging, Department of Social Services, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), Joint Council for Economic Opportunity Inc.

Cascade Express goes commercial By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Transportation Department has found a new source of revenue for the Cascade Express. The Express, which runs between Elizabethtown and Saranac Lake, now features advertisements from Hannaford’s Grocery Store in Lake Placid. “There is one ad on the outside of the bus and another on the inside,” Transportation Director Nancy Dougal said. “They (Hannaford’s) had the signs printed and installed on the buses. Our involvement is that they are on the buses.” Dougal talked about the deal during the June 11 Human Services Committee meeting, where she offered a budget ammendment to increase the revenues to the department by $13,150.

“I believe that we are the first department in the county that is bringing in revenue in this way,” Dougal said. “It definitely makes a difference in our budget.” Dougal said that the department had been in contact with Hannaford’s since the facility was being constructed. “They wanted to know if we were going to have a stop there and they have been working with us ever since they opened up,” Dougal said. She added that while they now have their first advertiser sign on, they are hoping that they will soon have more billboards and placards on their vehicles. “We are going to continue to look for more advertisers on this bus as well as our other routes,” Dougal said. “The Hannaford ads are nicely done and placed very well, so we feel that we can do more.” and sale, June 21-23, to celebrate the 130th birthday of the Au Sable Forks artist Rockwell Kent.

For second year, duck race to JEMS ready for summer programs benefit Wadhams Volunteer FD
Photo provided
By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com WADHAMS — As many as 400 rubber ducks will make their way down the Boquet River this Father ’s Day as part of the second year. The Rubber Duck Race, to be held on Sunday, June 17, at 3 p.m., has quickly become a popular fundraiser for the Wadhams Volunteer Fire Department and a companion to the annual Wadhams Strawberry Festival. “We launched everything we had last year, which was 300 ducks,” Sheera Broderick of the fire department said. “This year we bought 100 more ducks and will probably use them all as well.” Broderick said that the department was able to make just under $1,000 in proceeds from the event and will hope to make more this year with continued community support and the lack of having to pay for initial event costs. “We have had such great support from the local businesses and artisans who have helped to donate prizes,” she said. “We also have already sold about 300 of the ducks for the event.”
There will be three cash prizes of $250 (first), $100 (second) and $50 (third), along with 30 other prizes. “The cash prizes are for the first three ducks that cross the finish line,” Broderick said. “The other prizes will be raffled out.” The funds from the event will go to help the fire department help those in need. “We use the money to make donations to families in the community to help pay for medical travel or help replace belongings that were lost in a fire,” Broderick said. “Last year, we made just under $800 in donations in the community.” People will have chances to purchase the ducks at the Dogwood Bakery in Wadhams or during the annual Strawberry Festival, which starts at 1 p.m. at the Wadhams Church.

APA reviews Second Pond UMP with public comment sought on launch By Andy Flynn
andy@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — Members of the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) Board of Commissioners Thursday, June 14, were expected to review the Draft Unit Management Plan (UMP) for the Second Pond Boat Launch, one of the most popular access points for the Saranac Chain of Lakes. After their presentation, APA and state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) staff were expected to ask the State Land Committee to proceed with the public comment period, which precedes possible revisions and adoption of the final plan. Second Pond is not really a pond at all; it is an 81-acre “widewater” of the Saranac River between Lower Saranac Lake and Oseetah Lake. The Second Pond Boat Launch is located on state Route 3 about 3.5 miles southwest of the village of Saranac Lake. It is the primary access for Lower Saranac Lake and the Saranac Lake Islands Campground. While the boat launch is configured for 75 vehicles, parking overflows to Route 3 many times in the summer and up to 100 vehicles are using the site daily. “This creates a hazard for visitors as well as for passing traffic,” states the Draft UMP. “There are accidents related to parking on the highway shoulder every year. The proposed reconstruction of the boat launch and parking area will make it possible to efficiently accommodate existing levels of use without patrons parking along the state highway.” The management plan has six main objectives: •Protect the site and surrounding lands and waters of the Forest Preserve. •Provide for the safety of recreational users and vehicular traffic on Route 3.

•Improve access for visitors with disabilities. •Inventory and control of aquatic and terrestrial invasive species. •Provide more efficient use of the developed parking area. •Make the facility compliant with the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan (APSLMP). It’s been decades since major repairs or rehabilitation have been made at the Second Pond Boat Launch, and the APA and DEC
recommend a number of improvements to the site, starting as early as this year. Assuming there is an approved UMP, construction could start after Labor Day but could also be delayed until the fall of 2013. During construction, the launch will be fully closed to the public, and boaters will be directed to launches at Lake Flower, South Creek, Ampersand Bay, or one of the private marinas for lake access. The improvements will include the following:
•The existing log cabin at the launch will be removed, and the site will be reclaimed. •A new 8x12-foot booth will be constructed near the launch area. DEC staff will use the booth to register campers and to monitor the launch. •A 20x30-foot firewood storage building will be constructed and will provide either local or treated wood for sale to campers. •The launch ramp will be reconstructed with a double-ramped boat launch with a turnaround for vehicles. •The new parking lot will be configured with about 100 spaces, and parking spaces will be provided for people with disabilities. •The fixed wooden docks used for boats, canoes, kayaks and other watercraft will be replaced with ADA-compliant floating docks that will more easily accommodate boaters as water levels rise or fall during the season. The existing cribbing at the launch site will be removed. •There will be a new entrance sign on Route 3 and a new information kiosk at the launch area to provide information about controlling the spread of invasive aquatic species. •The bathroom building will be reconstructed with either composting toilets or above-ground pumpable vault units. •DEC staff will work with the state Department of Transportation to prohibit parking along State Route 3 near the boat launch. The construction changes will require an amendment to the State Land Master Plan, with 6.8 acres to be reclassified as part of the High Peaks Wilderness Area and 5.6 acres to be reclassified as Intensive Use. Public comment will be accepted on the Draft UMP and public hearings will be held at DEC Headquarters in Albany and APA Headquarters in Ray Brook. The dates of the hearings were not set by press time. For more information, visit www.apa.ny.gov or www.dec.ny.gov.
LPM/H School vandalism causes school delay katherine@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid Middel/High School was a victim of a foul smelling prank Thursday, June 7. Custodians at the school were greeted in the morning by smashed eggs and spilled milk over the walls and floor of the building. Superintendent Randy Richards said he received a call at 6:05 a.m. from custodians about the incident, and school was forced to delay opening by an hour. “It was very disheartening for everyone to start the day like this,” Richards said. “The custodians worked to clean it up. As
faculty and staff came in, they jumped in to help.” A lock for a side door was discovered to be damaged and the eggs and milk were smashed and spilled over all three floors of the building with a concentration of slop in front of the main office. Richards estimated the property damage to be a few hundred dollars for the lock, but the greatest loss the school suffered was time. “This seems to be more of a prank because nothing was damaged, but it’s not funny,” Richards said. “What we lost today was learning time, time our faculty prepares for their daily classloads in the morn-
ing at a time when everyone is scrambling to get kids ready for their assessments.” With graduation right around the corner, Richards said he didn’t believe the incident could be chalked up to a senior pank. “I don’t believe that for a minute,” he said. “The kids here have been completely remorseful and upset about this situation.” Richards said many students have taken it upon themselves over the course of the day to apologize to custodial workers and staff at the school for whoever was responsible for the prank. Richards said based on the number of smashed
eggs, he believes there were multiple vandals at the school. “We consider this a very serious situation and intend on fully investigating this,” Richards said. “If the vandals turn out to be students, it’s our full intention to take disciplinary action.” Richards said the student artwork in the hallways had suffered minimal damage. Lake Placid Village police are currently investigating leads on the situation.

Valley News Editorial
Commencement advice from our staff From our Managing Editor, John Gereau: ‘Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration’ — Thomas Edison My father used to tell me that if you want to get ahead in this world, work harder than the person sitting next to you. Get to work before him, leave after him, and before long you’ll have his job. The opportunity to get ahead through hard work may be even greater today, because the competition is fierce, but the will to work for many is no longer so. Of equal importance is to take pride in everything you do, wether it is digging ditches or building bridges. You should be able to look back at the end of the day and be proud to have your name associated with the work you just performed. And, last but not least, for every hour you spend inside, spend two outside. The outdoors will bring you solace, and ground you when all else seems off course. From our Assistant Managing Editor, Andy Flynn: After 25 years of being in the “real world” after high school graduation, I can safely say that life’s been an adventure. Growing up in Tupper Lake, I wanted nothing more than to leave my hometown. By my senior year in college, I wanted nothing more than to live in the Adirondacks. I was able to return home and earn a good living in the media industry. I’m finally living the dream, but it’s not been an easy road. To the Class of 2012, I say if you want to come back to the region after college or military service, you can. Brain drain is real, but it’s overrated. We need you. Consider coming home. And get a dog. Dogs are nice. From our Times of Ti Editor Fred Herbst: Can I trust you? It seems like a simple question, but may be the key to your future. Trust, missing all too often today, is crucial to building relationships and achieving success. Whether it’s a family member, boss, co-worker, community member, they all need to know that they can count on you to meet your obligations; that you’ll do the right thing. Always endeavor to build trust. When you build trust you build strong families, good work ethic and strong communities.
From Valley News Editor Keith Lobdell: “On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve.” — Thomas S. Monson. This really goes hand-in-hand with another one of my favorite quotes, given in a time of trial by one of the greatest ambassadors for college basketball, Jim Valvano - “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.” You all have goals, and you will all have hurdles along the course that lead to those goals. Some will be easy to hop over, while others will seem as high as Everest. When faced with the latter, remember that the things which are truly worth attaining are not given, but earned. From Burgh and North Countryman Editor Stephen Bartlett: Don’t underestimate the value of some sort of post-secondary education, whether technical or collegiate, because the job market is merciful to no one and it’s easy to become bogged down by barely getting by. Also, don’t put your eggs in one basket. Don’t give up on your ultimate dream, but allow for a dose of realism and ensure you obtain the skills to secure, possibly, your second choice, and pay the bills while continuing to pursue your passions. From reporter Katherine Clark: Everyone, graduating high school seniors, parents and community members should attend graduation ceremonies and listen to inspirational speeches about the future. Seniors, as you listen to the keynote speaker, tell yourself there is an open sky of possibilities to choose from. Everyone in the crowd, young or old, has the same potential to redefine the course of their lives. You can change your mind a handful of times and still live a successful life as long as you are passionate and work hard on whatever you do. Chef, television personality and writer Rachael Ray said it best: “Work harder than the next person, don’t complain about it, and you'll always get noticed, no matter what job you’re doing, and you'll find an opportunity occur that you didn't see coming.” This editorial is the collaborative opinion of a board comprised of Thom Randall, Fred Herbst, Shaun Kittle, Keith Lobdell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn, and John Gereau.

Develop your own sense of direction
O
ver the last year our politicians, major news outlets, union leaders and powerful lobbyists have been waging war in Wisconsin. The failed recall of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has been hailed by the Republican Party as a major victory heading into the fall election season. The Democratic Party, backed by major labor, now seeks to double their efforts to reengage the electorate, learning from this perceived failed effort. Why do we continually allow issues of importance to be taken over and owned by those who seek to protect their own self interests while framing these issues in a manner designed to create division among us? We must recognize we have only one country and that country must have a sense of direction that is fair and compassionate to all. No one appreciates a gloating victor, but that is exactly what the political parties have undertaken to pit us against each other—and keep us there. Americans have always been at their best when they stand united, arm in arm. When we allow the powerful, or the politically connected, to divide us and shift our loyalty to party or self interest instead of country is when we work against our own best interests. Wisconsinites registered their votes last week and they alone should be the victors or losers in that contest. Feeding the political divide instead of using our democratic common sense has allowed our nation to become paralyzed in recent years, and it won’t get any better until we demand that enough is enough. Public-sector workers reportedly continue to enjoy better benefits than their private sector counterparts. About 64 percent of private-sector workers have access to pensions, compared with 90 percent of state and local government workers. Private-sector workers earn an average of $8.53 in benefits per hour, while government workers earn $14.31 in benefits per hour. Our economy can’t continue to support growing government payroll costs. Some form of balance must be maintained. Over the course of time, public sector employees needed the power of collective bargaining, especially when the pay scales and benefits didn’t fairly match with those in the private sector. But the pendulum has swung too far the other way and the current economic climate has shown that the nation can’t support generous benefits, salaries and overt job protection for public employees when the private sector is go-
ing in the other direction.. On the other side of the divide, according to the Independent Center for Public Integrity, Governor Walker raised seven Dan Alexander times more than Thoughts from Mayor Barrett, Behind the Pressline his challenger, to defend his recall, and, despite the difference in spending, the dollars didn’t directly translate into percentage points in polls or the vote. Wisconsin voters were not swayed by the big corporate connections, but instead recognized that the best choice was to keep Walker in place and continue to tackle the state budget woes by tempering the growth of public sector costs. Now, the spin masters from both sides will continue to put the best face on the result from their perspective, but at the end of the day voters must put self interest aside and see through the spin to make good choices and insure realistic choices that continue to make government accountable while bringing spending under control. We all need to tune out the posturing and not allow others to frame these issues, nor take ownership of them for anything other than the advancement of our nation. It seems clear to me that far too many of our leaders place their own self interests and political aspirations ahead of the Democracy. We get sucked into blindly following the powerful and until we demand accountability and see through the veil of divisive politics our nation will continue to be held hostage. We need to respect the differences that will naturally occur between people of good intentions but look to elect leaders who seek to resolve those differences instead of using them to create and feed anger and hatred among us. Until we find our own clear voice, I fear America will be driven to the outer edges of the political divide, where nothing but stonewalling is accomplished, while the nation suffers from its lack of resolve and identity, zigzagging between the political extremes.

It’s nearly time for the topwater bonanza!
L
Back home, again
L
ast weekend, I returned to Elizabethtown to attend the opening of the new, Raging Rivers exhibition at the Adirondack History Center Museum. Raging Rivers: A Mind of Their Own is a theme that will continue throughout the summer with a series of History Center lectures that explore the effects and after affects of two centuries of Adirondack floods. The new exhibit includes images taken by numerous professional photographers, as well as other local residents. It provides a visual summary of the immediate destruction, as well as the after affects of Hurricane Irene. The exhibition of still photographs are complimented by a video produced by photographer, Nathan Farb. In addition to the photo exhibit, museum staffers also utilized a variety of items that were taken from the river after the flood to create several intriguing displays of ‘Debris Sculptures.’ The sculptures provided graphic, hands-on evidence of the damage caused by the storm, and for many visitors, the experience proved to be both an emotional, as well as a cathartic opportunity. I spoke with numerous visitors about where they were, and what they were doing when the high water hit, and it was difficult not to be moved by their recollections. It was a natural tragedy that was shared by many, and it will be remembered by all. I would encourage anyone who hasn’t recently visited the old museum on the ‘Town Hill,’ to stop by. The Adirondack History Center features ‘our history’ and it won’t disappoint. Saturday’s event also included a car show that attracted numerous antique and classic motor vehicles, including several “horseless carriages.” While strolling among the cars, I was immediately put at ease by the friendly atmosphere and the lively banter that surrounded the show’s participants. The collection of antique and classic vehicles was nearly as impressive as the host of characters who own, and restore them. And as many jokingly explained, there were probably more antique owners on site, than there were antique cars. Car shows and rallys have become an increasingly popular component of the local outdoor recreation spectrum. The recent event certainly provided an enjoyable opportunity to mingle among the participants, and to hear their stories.
The Old Footbridge
While visiting Elizbethtown, I took an opportunity to visit many of my old haunts and fishing holes, to see how they had weathered the storm. Although I had already paddled the Boquet a couple of times, it was my first opportunity to access the status of The Branch, a much smaller stream that flows through the

Elizabethtown's recently renovated Footbridge Park offers unique, new Nature Trails that feature an exciting mix of activity stations including climbing walls, tree forts, low ropes course and musical stations. very center of the community. I began my up stream journey at a junction pool in the center of the village, where Bartons Brook joins with The Branch. I waded the stream all the way to The Footbridge, which in my younger years featured an old dam that was a popular swimming hole. Although the pond was quite small, many local youth learned to swim at the footbridge since it was easy an place to walk or ride a bike. While devastation from the flood was evident all along the river corridor, I was thrilled to discover some of the recent renovations that have occurred at The Footbridge Park. The effort has resulted in an incredible new leisure area, complete with a unique, natural playground that meanders through the local woods. The new, all natural playground features a fully accessible stone dust path that meanders through the surrounding woods and leads to a variety of stations for youngsters to explore. It is a model for the wise use of the woods, and it provides a safe, engaging and entertaining complex that is makes a visit to the woods nothing but fun! The trail was developed through a partnership between the Essex County Health Department and the NYS Department of Health, and although it was intended for a target audience of 2-5 year olds, the ‘stations’ offer something for wanderers of all ages. The Footbridge Nature Trail features a wonderful climbing wall, tree forts and tree houses, a rope maze, stumpjumps and a variety of natural musical instruments including chimes, drums and a unique, Tune-Dome that was constructed from an old propane tank. Fortunately, for parents there are also plenty of benches, picnic tables and sitting stumps along the river corridor. Although the new trail complex has not yet attracted a lot of visitors, I expect it will become a very popular venue once it is eventually discovered.

ake Champlain bass are in full spawn mode for the next several weeks. Bass will then enter their post spawn phase. During this period they will rest from the rigors of spawning and recover some depleted strength. Shortly thereafter the fun will really begin. The feed will By Howard Hammonds then swing into high gear and bass will begin to aggressively feed on schools of baitfish. During the several weeks following the post spawn phase fisherman can experience the excitement of a topwater bonanza. There is no more exciting action than to have a hungry bass explode on your topwater bait. It’s like watching a scary movie just waiting for the villain to jump out from behind the next corner. With great anticipation you’ll work you’re bait over a weed patch knowing that any second a giant smallmouth is going to blast your lure. Ki- whoosh - the water explodes and you about jump out of your skin and jerk like crazy. There are several topwater techniques a fisherman can use on the North Country’s lakes. Some are easy to master, others require greater skill. My favorite tactic is using a Zara spook to walk the dog. This technique requires a modest degree of coordination. Make a long cast, wind up the slack and make a rhythmic half turn of the reel and a quick snap of the wrist. Keep the action going with a steady cadence. Keep your rod tip at just about shoe top level. If you are doing this correctly, you will notice the lure “walks” from side to side with each snap of the wrist. This action will drive bass crazy and the return is a heart-stopping explosion. The tackle needed is a 6-foot medium action bait caster, 12-pound test mono line and a Heddon Zara spook lure. Probably the easiest topwater to master is the “PopR,” which is another lure produced by the famous Heddon Company. The Pop-R has a cupped face that spits water and pops when retrieved. Using a 7-foot spinning rod and reel and 8-pound mono line, make a cast as long as possible. Wind up the slack and make a little jerk, just enough to cause the lure to spit a little water. Repeat the action but pause the lure between jerks. Vary the jerks and pauses as this imitates a dying bait fish. For those of you that by now have decided these are a little complex, I have a technique that will have sure fire success, simple to master and still have heart stopping explosions. Buzz baits. Using the same rod and reel as for the PopR, tie one on and make a long cast. When the buzz bait hits the water start winding, just fast enough so the lures runs on top of the water. The turning action of the winged blades will keep it on top of the water and will make a gurgling sound that will make bass go nuts. Lake Champlain is very unique when it comes to topwater. Most topwater baits are used when there is overcast skies and a little ripple on the water. While this is a prime time to use topwater tactics, an even better time on Lake Champlain is following a front when the skies are high and blue, no wind and a slick surface. When the major tournament pros first started invading the North Country they found to their surprise that topwater baits worked on Champlain during what otherwise would be tough conditions. I’m not a fish and therefore can’t tell you why these techniques work, but believe me the first time you have a big-ole bass explode on your lure you’ll be hooked just like the fish! While I don’t personally believe it’s in the best interest of the species to interfere with the bedding cycle, if you do fish for bass during this time please handle with care and return to the water immediately. Practice CPR: Catch, Photograph and Release.

pervisors, and Keene Supervisor William Ferebee both praised the work done by director Margaret Gibbs and her staff on the museum’s latest exhibit, “Raging River.” The exhibit deals with photographs and stories that tell the tale of the 2011 flooding that took place in the spring as well as the devastation caused by Tropical Storm Irene. For Douglas and Ferebee, the exhibit, which opened last Saturday, June, 2, allowed the duo to look back on the events of late August and early September and reflect. “Your staff did a great job on the photo exhibit,” Ferebee said. “It gave Randy and I time to look at the photos and really look back in our head on what had happened.” “You guys did a tremendous job,” Douglas said. “It was an emotional time for us and it brought back a lot of memories. We actually got time to reflect back on what took place.” Gibbs said the exhibit opened to a large audience as part of the Raging Rivers Car Show. “We had a very successful day on Saturday with the opening of the Raging Rivers exhibit,” she said. “We had a lot

Annual Keeseville Elks Pig-n-Swig fundraiser gets bigger every year By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — Cars, motorcycles and pork will be the featured attractions at the Keeseville Elks Lodge’s biggest fundraiser of the year.

Lake George Association seeks county funding for Asian Clam removal By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County is poised to spend $2,500 to help get rid of an evasive species in Lake George. The Economic Development/planning and publicity committee of Essex County moved a resolution to the full board to give the money to the Lake George Association (LGA), which is in the second year of an Asian Clam eradication program on the waters that border Ticonderoga. “I know that Essex County only has a little portion of the lake, but this is a lakewide issue that needs to be dealt with,” LGA Executive Director and Ticonderoga resident Walter Lender said. “This is a lakewide project. We want to eradicate it while we can, which is now.” Lender said that the project has been effective over the first year, when the county also

the former Bookmobile, which was operated by the ClintonFranklin-Essex Library System, as a mobile command post which would be able to coordinate different radio systems to allow for better communications. Jaquish said that the proposal would not add any expenses, but supervisors had questions. “I know that it is free and nice to have, but at some point down the road I am sure that it is go-
gave $2,500 to help deal with the problem. “We feel that when we are done, we will have irradicated the problem to where we will only have to work with spot treatments to kill of the remaining Asian Clam population,” Lender said. “The big investment is last year and this year.” Lender said that dealing with the Asian Clam infestation was also a concern to the regions pocketbooks. “It's an issue that is important to the local waterways and the local economy,” he said. “Feed off the nourishment in the lake and take away from the native species, and their shells are something that you do not want to be walking on.” Overall, Lender said that LGA is making an $800,000 investment into the issue this year, along with the help of the counties and communities that call Lake George theirs. “It's critical to our economy, that lake,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “It is money that is well spent. This is some-
ing to cost us money,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “It's a piece of equipment that would be nice to have, but it’s not critical.” “I have concerns down the road that this vehicle would be in the neighborhood of $400,000 if it had to be replaced,” Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston said. “We are cutting costs and selling things and we are going to add on a second-hand bookmobile for a command center,” Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said. “We do work with
thing that is definitely tourism-related, and I think that we should look into using some of the bed tax money for that.” “It's a very small investment on the part of Essex County to protect the future of Lake George and the local economy,” North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said. “It really is a nobrainer.”
these counties, and want to continue, but the key thing is no costs to the county and no future costs to the county.” “If there is a cost, we would try to fund it through Homeland Security and funds that we have in place,” Jaquish said. “I can't guarantee that this would not have a cost with it in the future.” Jaquish said that Franklin County had already signed on to fit the vehicle, while Clinton County would take care of the maintenance. “If Franklin County will be
retro-fitting the vehicle and Clinton will be maintaining it, so I can't see how we could not go along with this,” Morrow said. “The other two counties are going through with this either way, so I would think it would be foolish of us not to go along.” North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi wondered why there was a need for a mobile communications center. “I thought that the purpose of spending $10 million on a communications system was so we would be able to communicate

Lender said that he could not give a specific reason for the infestation of Asian Clams in Lake George, but there were several ways they could have been introduced. “They could have been in ballast tank water or bait wells, or attached to boats,” Lender said. “Someone could have dumped an aquarium into the lake. There is no way to point a finger and know for sure.” While Lender said he did not know for sure how the clams entered the lake, he was sure how they were going to leave. “The most effective treatment is laying down large mats at the bottom of the lake that deprives the clams of any food or nourishment,” he said. “It is about a 45-day process and it has been very effective. After this year, we believe that we will just be doing follow-up treatments to deal with a small amount of remaining Asian Clams.” The motion passed unanimously through the committee, which is chaired by Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney.
throughout the county,” Politi said. “Are you telling me that we will still not be able to communicate with some people once it is done?” “There are departments that our communications system would not work with in some situations because their systems are different,” Jaquish said. “You have to program the systems in order to get them to work together and that can take time.” Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said that she felt it would be useful in some situations. “I just think about the situation that we had here with the crash on the Northway where several people died and there was no communications there,” she said. Board chairman Randy Douglas said that he would go along with the recommendation, but said other agencies have similar vehicles in emergency situations. “FEMA came in with one of these rigs like this and parked it
right next to our office,” Douglas said. “It is something that they use for any large-scale event.” “When the bridge went out SEMO had a big vehicle there and the State Police also had one,” Scozzafava added. “This would be used for any large-scale event where multiple agencies are involved and separate radio systems are used,” Jaquish said. “It would usually be a long-term event, something where it would be needed over several days.” Scozzafava felt that there also was another option for the vehicle. “I think that the library committee should sell it as surplus and use that money toward their needs,” he said. “I would move a resolution to do away with any covenant that they have with the county so they can do what they please with the bus.” The motion passed through committee, 5-2, and will now go before the Ways and Means Committee June 25.

Saranac Lake water project enters final season; FEMA to fund repairs By Andy Flynn
andy@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — The Saranac Lake water project is about 95 percent complete, according to Chris Lawton of Barton & Loguidice, who updated Village Board members about the project Monday, June 11, at their regular meeting. “It will probably be August or September before we really start flowing water,” Lawton said. “Why so long?” asked Trustee Tom Catillaz. This is a system that’s never been used before, Lawton said, and it will take some time to, “work all the bugs out,” and make sure water is flowing correctly before putting it into service. Water will be sent to the tank before putting it into the main system, and there may be periods when wastewater treatment plant operator Kevin Pratt flushes the system. “It’s gone in one direction for 100 years, and we’re going to try to slowly bleed it from the other direction,” Lawton said. “So I would say expect a couple of months. If it’s sooner, that would be great, but I don’t want everyone to think that it’s just going to be a switch that all of a sudden it’s on.” After the meeting, Lawton and Village Manager John Sweeney announced that
Chris Lawton (standing), of Barton & Loguidice, updates members of the Saranac Lake Village Board about the water project Monday, June 11 at the village offices. Photo by Andy Flynn there will be road delays on several streets over the next week in order for the village to connect the water pipes from three village roads to adjoining state highways. They are: McClelland Street, at the intersection of Broadway (Route 86); Route 3 near Pine
Street; and St. Bernard’s Street, on both ends — Church Street (Routes 3/86) and River Street (Route 3). Lawton also updated the Village Board on the water meter project, which is almost complete. Thirteen additional large com-
mercial meters will be purchased and installed at places such as the hospital this summer. That will help the village expend the $1 million for the water meter project, funded through the Green Innovative Grant Program. The village is required to contribute a 10 percent match for the grant and is expected to spend about $135,000, while the grant pays for almost $965,000, with the total project costing $1.1 million. In other business, Lawton updated the Village Board on the five repair projects for storm damage in 2011. The $1 million in repairs will be funded through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), with the federal government picking up 87.5 percent ot the cost and the village paying for the balance. “We are at a point right now where we want to go to bid with the contracts,” Lawton said, adding that he expects the village to award bids in late July. The FEMA projects are: reconstructing two sections of a wall at Hydro Park; reconstructing the wall at Alpine Terrace (behind the Rusty Nail bar); reconstructing a wall at Pelkey Lane; repairing wall at the old village office building at 3 Main St.; and repairing concrete work at the intake of the hydro plant at 17 Main St. Construction for the five projects is expected to take three months to complete.

SARANAC LAKE — A powerful and intimate musical, The Last Five Years is an old story told in a new way. Two New Yorkers in their twenties fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show's unconventional structure consists of the woman telling her story backwards while the man tells his story chronologically. The Last Five Years won a Drama Desk Award for Best Music and Best Lyrics. Critics have speculated that composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown, is the next Sondheim. His musical style draws on a number of musical genres, including pop, jazz, European Classical, klezmer, Latin, rock and folk. Laura Jean Schwartau-Swanson directs Mackenzie Barmen and Brandon Patterson. Kimberly Weems is the music director. The production opens Friday, June 15, and plays June 16, 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. There is a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, June 17. The Last Five Years continues in repertory throughout the summer. Pendragon’s busy 32nd summer season also includes performances of Pinocchio, and A Nightingale Sang (limited run - opens July 3,) The 39 Steps (limited run- opens July 18,) and Shipwrecked (opens August 15, ) as well as performances of So in Love, a Cole Porter cabaret.

Four Willsboro Central School teachers set to retire WILLSBORO – This month, Willsboro Central School will have four veteran teachers retiring from the district after years of dedicated and devoted service to the district and its students. Robin Blanchard, Nancy Randall, Marilyn Trienens and Wally Vanderhoff will be retiring from teaching. Collectively, this represents almost 100 years of service provided by these teachers to the students. Blanchard and Randall have taught in various capacities at the elementary grade levels, Vanderhoff taught
math and served as Dean of Students and Trienens was the librarian. All these teachers were with the district in the old school and helped in the transition to the current location. “All four of these teachers were passionate and enthusiastic about teaching. They truly love students and teaching – their daily presence will be missed by everyone,” said Superintendent Stephen Broadwell. “We are losing a wealth of knowledge this year and outstanding dedicated educators. On behalf of the district, we would like to
thank all four teachers for dedicating their lives to the students of Willsboro,” Broadwell said. Also, Vesta Spring a long-time bus driver will be retiring from active service as a daily bus driver. “Vesta exemplifies all the qualities of a professional bus driver. She was one of the first people to arrive at work; she took pride in the appearance of her bus and greeted all her students with a smile each morning. “She truly loved her work and all the children on her route.”

Continued from page 1 ing,” Sparks said. “This event will be fun and it could bring some humor back to the community, if even for an hour. We want to do whatever we can to help and to keep up hope and keep searching.” John Gillis, Colin’s father, said he appreciates the continued support the community has shown over the last few months. “Colin is not just our kid anymore, he’s the communities kid, and that’s how everyone has treated him,” John said. “It’s been emotionally overwhelming what the community has done for us and for Colin. I can’t thank everyone enough for volunteering their time through the search and organizing the fundraisers. It’s really helped our family.” There will five comedians from New York City, including Mike Madden, Steve Sarsfield, Matt Kelly, Shawn Gillie and Headliner Sandy Beach. Half of the ticket proceeds will go directly towards the Search for Colin Gillis Fund and half will go to the comedians. The comedians have also purchased a 32-inch flat screen TV to be raffled off. Raffle tickets will cost $5 each.
“The comedians have been great to work with and have been truly gungho about working with us for this,” Sparks said. Tickets for the show are on sale now or can be purchased the night of the show and are $20. For information or to order tickets, call Sparks at 3598144.
Colin Gillis
It has been three months since Colin Gillis, an 18-year-old premed student on spring break from SUNY Brockport, was reported missing after leaving a social gathering with friends on March 11. He was last seen walking along Route 3 near the Franklin/St. Lawrence County line around 1 a.m. According to New York State Police Investigator Sean Finn, the search for Gillis has remained active over the last few months with continued ground searches by the forest rangers. “We have not stopped and we’re going to continue to search for Colin,” Finn said. The police have been actively following any lead submitted to the department about the possible whereabouts of Gillis. Investigators have not found any sign of Gillis, with the exception of of a few personal items located March 12 along State Route 3.
Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Rangers have performed land, water and air searches throughout specific areas in the Piercefield near Sevey Corners. “We’ve covered all trailheads and the rangers have performed extensive searches of the location he was last seen,” Finn said. Police have also been investigating any rumors leads submitted from local residents. “Every rumor and every piece of town gossip we have looked into and small pieces of gossip and rumors have been disproven by talking to witnesses and others who were there,” Finn said. At this time, investigators do not need volunteers to aide the search effort. “Without new information, rangers can cover and well document all areas they search,” Finn said. “At this time, there is no need for a large scale search,” Finn said. For weeks after his disappearance, over 200 area volunteers, forest rangers, State Police, local emergency response agencies and search and rescue teams searched more than 2,000 acres of land, miles of the Raquette River and both Raquette Pond and Piercefield Flow.
