McHugh appointment now official Opens seat for three-way race

SARANAC LAKE — A local man was arrested last week following reports that he was attempting to flee town with a 16year-old girl.

According to Saranac Lake Village Police Sergeant James P. Law, officers were investigating a report of a missing juvenile from the town of Brighton. The teenage girl was last seen in the village of Saranac Lake.

Police interviewed several individuals who had past associations with the girl. Those interviews led the police to believe the girl may try to leave the area with 21-year-old Chadd R. Snide of Saranac Lake.

Ray Brook-based State Police began the investigation into reports of a runaway on Monday, September 14 because the girl is from Brighton, outside the village.

Officers responded to the bus terminal at the Hotel Saranac on the morning of Wednesday, September 16 and found both the suspect and the missing teen. A foot pursuit ensued when police arrived at the scene.

The chase led officers to the parking lot of St. Bernard’s Church, where police were able to corner Snide and the juvenile. Sergeant Law said that several students and parents were outside of the church and St. Bernard’s Catholic School at the time.

Reports also indicate that Snide had a sweatshirt wrapped around one hand, leading officers to suspect he possessed a weapon. Snide has a past criminal record.

“He made every effort to prevent the juvenile and himself from being caught,” Law said.

“He knew the juvenile was wanted by police.”

Officers drew their guns because of the uncertainty of the situation. Snide was finally arrested at gunpoint at 8:59 a.m. – the item underneath the sweatshirt was a hand purse.

Following the arrest, Snide was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree obstruction of governmental administration. He was arraigned in Saranac Lake Village Court and remanded to the Franklin County Jail in lieu of $2,500 cash bail.

Snide will return to village court at a later date to answer to the charges against him. The juvenile has been reunited with her family.

Law said the case is ongoing and more arrests are pending depending on the outcome of the investigation.

matt@denpubs.com WASHINGTON — Long-time North Country Congressman John McHugh is now officially the United States’ Secretary of the Army.

McHugh was announced as President Barack Obama’s choice for the cabinet position June 2.

Since then, potential candidates have been lining up to make a run for his vacant Congressional seat, but have been waiting for the Senate to formally confirm him.

Since 1993, McHugh has represented New York’s 23rd Congressional District, which spans 11 counties across the northern tier of the state, including Franklin, Clinton, and most of Essex County. Elected to his ninth term in 2008, he was ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee.

As Army Secretary, McHugh will be responsible for the management of a more than $200 billion budget, more than a million troops, and 14 million acres of land.

McHugh’s appointment had been approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee in early August, and was subsequently introduced for Senate approval, but the decision was blocked by

Senators Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, and Sam Brownback, R-Kansas.

The two reportedly put a hold on the confirmation of McHugh and several other presidential appointments in order to protest a supposed White House plan to move Guantanamo Bay detainees to Fort Leavenworth, a military base in Kansas.

Roberts and Brownback agreed to let the confirmation go forward, however, after discussions with senior White House officials.

“In a good faith effort to continue moving this dialogue forward, we are releasing our holds on all Department of Defense and Department of Justice nominees,” the Kansas Senators wrote in a joint press release. “We are confident that because of this good faith dialogue, detainees will not be transferred to Fort Leavenworth.”

His appointment was unanimously confirmed in the Senate the evening of Sept. 16. On Sept. 21, he resigned from Congress and was officially sworn in as Army Secretary after final approval from the President.

With the seat now officially vacant, Gov.David Paterson is soon expected to announce a special election to fill out the remainder of McHugh’s term. Many anticipate the date will be set as Nov. 3, the same as the general election for local offices.

Major candidates have already been nominat-

John McHugh ed for the empty seat. Republicans chose Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, R-Gouverneur; The Conservative Party selected Douglas Hoffman, a Lake Placid accountant; and Democrats tapped Plattsburgh lawyer Bill Owens.

Lake Placid hosts NYS Maple Tour

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — More than 150 of the Empire State's top maple producers will gather in Lake Placid Sept. 27-29 for the New York State Maple Tour, hosted by the Adirondack Maple Producers Association.

“The group meets in different places every year and it's a great chance for producers to tour different sugarhouses and learn from each other and research different technologies,” explained Mike Farrell, director of Cornell University's Uihlein Forest in Lake Placid.

Participants in the tour will visit several Lake Placid area sugarhouses including North Country School, which operates a wood-fired evaporator that boils 400 buckets of sap collected by students, and the Uihlein Maple Forest, the 200-plus acre research center and extension field of Cornell University. They will also visit Heaven Hill Farm, Henry Uihlein's old sugarhouse which has been renovated as a site for teaching local students about syrup production.

The event comes on the heels of this spring's maple season, which was considered one of the best in recent memory. An estimated 362,000 gallons of syrup was produced in the state, an increase of 10-percent from last year's production. The Cornell Sugar House alone collected more than 70,000 gallons of sap and produced a record 1,500 gallons of maple syrup.

“It just so happened that the weather was perfect for maple sugaring,” said Farrell. “You’re at the whim of mother nature; some years

Maple products, like those seen here from South Meadow Farm in Saranac Lake, will be the topic of discussion at the New York State Maple Tour held Sept. 27-29 in Lake Placid. The event allows maple producers to share ideas and learn more about producing and marketing syrup and other maple treats. it’s good and some it’s not so good.”

While the tour is aimed less at the average sight-seer and more towards maple producers, Farrell said there are hundreds in the region, whether they operate largescale sugarbushes or simply collect sap as a hobby.

“While to some degree this is still a ‘mom and pop' type industry with many people producing as a hobby, the industry is changing and becoming more technology based,” said Farrell. “Producers are learning to be more environmentally friendly, but it's still labor and en-

ergy intensive for the smaller operations.”

According to the 2007 Census of Agriculture, there are more than 1,500 maple producers in New York State, who generate more than $8million in sales, making New York

Concerned citizens joining ‘party’ to shake up government

The first meeting of the Upstate New York Tea Party drew more than 140 people Sept. 20. The nonpartisan group aims to utilize letter-writing campaigns and public debates, among other methods, to “send a message to their elected representatives in Washington,” said coordinator Mark Barie.

P L AT T S B U R G H — T h e Upstate New York Tea Party has begun its movement to shake up Washington, D.C. Coordinator Mark Barie of Rouses Point opened the first meeting of the UNYTEA Party to a standingroom only crowd at the Plattsburgh-North Country Chamber of Commerce Sept.

the growth of government debt by the second — drew more than 140 people.

During the meeting, the UNYTEA group gave an overview of the independent political committee’s mission to combat excessive government spending and reduce taxes and the size of government. The group plans to do so through letterwriting campaigns, sponsoring public debates, direct mail efforts and TEA Party rallies to “send a message to their elected representatives in Washington,” noted Barie.

“We are a grassroots organization of North Country residents who believe that partisan politics must give way to common sense and dollars and cents,” Barie said. “We cannot spend our way out of debt, nor should we insist on taxing those who work in the name of those who won’t.”

The UNYTEA will join nearly 750 other similarlyformed groups around the country who are not affiliated with any political party but who are concerned and frightened about the direction in which the country is headed and believe they have a patriotic duty to stand up and make a difference, as their forefathers did many years ago.

The group is actively looking to build its membership in the North Country, with the goal of 1,000 members by this time next year. Although, given the enthusiasm of the participants to date, Barie said he wouldn't be surprised reached that number very quickly.

“We will work tirelessly to ensure that we only send those individuals to Washington,” Barie said, “regardless of their party affiliation, who believe that those that govern least, govern best and that the American sys-

tem of Free Enterprise is the only proven system of success for generations to come.”

Recognition was given to Jonathan Nelson, who is credited with initiating the group first gathering in Trinity Park. Also introduced were members of the steering committee, which included Nelson, John Ianelli, Greg Laduke, Dr. John Middleton, Kirk Stallsmith, Jim Wemett), and John VanNatten. In addition to the steering committee, the group is looking for coordinators for every county, town and village in the North Country.

The group also heard from local individuals who attended a recent TEA Party rally in Washington, D.C. with more than 1.5 million people in attendance. Pictures of the rally and impressions of those in attendance were shared with the group.

The meeting closed with several individuals in the audience adding comments, concerns an support to the mission of the UNYTEA. The group’s next event will be a healthcare forum to be held tentatively Sunday, Oct. 4, in which all three candidates for the 23rd Congressional District seat — Republication Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava, Democratic Party candidate Bill Owens and Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman — have been invited to attend. To date, only Hoffman has accepted an invitation but the event is planned to be held regardless of the other candidates’ attendance.

Paul Smith’s prepares for H1N1 Hospital limits visits from youth

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — With school back in session and the threat of swine flu escalating, officials at one local college aren’t taking any chances.

Paul Smith’s College has mounted a substantial campaign to spread information about novel H1N1 influenza, while faculty and staff are meeting regularly to receive updates and revise prevention strategies aimed at avoiding a large-scale outbreak on campus.

Ken Aaron is the college’s spokesman.

“We’ve been in touch with faculty and asked for leniency in terms of absence policies,” he said. “What we’re seeing is that most people are back on their feet in three to four days. If they take time to recover, they should be back in class in fairly short order. Our number one goal is that anyone who comes down with it, we get them healthy. Those who don’t come down with it, we want to keep them healthy.”

In the event that swine flu hits campus, the college has set up an empty dormitory to serve as a “self-isolation unit” to keep sick students away from the general population.

That building is the Alumni dorm and it was originally supposed to be offline.

“We decided to put in back online for this purpose,” Aaron said. “It was initially supposed to be empty, but instead we decided to go in and do some renovations and now it’s sitting there and ready to go. Fortunately we don’t have anybody in there right now, but we’re all kind of operating under the assumption that we’re going to see it.”

In addition, the college has posted educational information all over campus and installed hand sanitizers in nearly every building.

Reiko Rexilius-Tuthill is director of student health services at Paul Smith’s College. She said students were flooded with information on H1N1 the moment they returned for the fall semester. And like Aaron, she assumes that swine flu will hit campus sooner or later.

“Let’s face it; the flu is going to be here regardless and we’re going to assume it’s the bad-boy stuff,” Tuthill said. “We educated, we’re continuing to educate, and we’ve educated all the employees on the campus, so we’re in sync with the information that’s been handed out.

We’ve asked everyone to get on my list to receive the flu vaccine. I have a lengthy list that I’ve never had in the past. Right now we’re just waiting for the flu vaccine to come in.”

The college has also scheduled a vaccination clinic in coordination with Franklin County Public Health for October 22.

“Hopefully we’ll get everyone vaccinated that wants one,” Tuthill said.

For Tuthill, the fact that students have been approaching her and asking questions is promising.

“Sometimes with things like this, students don’t key in until it’s too late,” she said.

“Everyday I get questions on my email and my phone. They come into my office or snag me out on campus and ask me questions. They want to know more all the time, and they do stop me and ask to be on the vaccination list.

And they’re always looking for updates, wanting to know more and find out if the vaccines have arrived yet.”

Tuthill also stressed the importance of not scaring students either.

“It’s just about being vigilant,” she said.

“There’s no reason to isolate yourself and hide from the rest of campus. Prevention and education is what it’s going to take.”

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — The Adirondack Medical Center last week announced that it will limit inpatient visitors to healthy adults at least 18 years of age or older.

According to AMC spokesman Joe Riccio, hospital officials are taking steps to stop the spread of respiratory illness at its inpatient facilities. As a result, children 17-years-old and younger are being asked to refrain from visiting patients.

Riccio said the 17-and-under age group tend to travel where respiratory illness is most common.

“Especially students in school,” he said.

“The younger groups, like little kids who touch a lot of things and put things in their mouth; that was the main reason why we made the decision. Obviously, the seasonal flu and H1N1 are getting a lot of attention this year.”

Rather than visit patients in person, AMC is encouraging sick individuals and youngsters to send cards and make phone calls to their loved ones.

Gift cards can be sent electronically via AMC’s website by logging onto www.amcCares.org and click “sending a greeting card” button.

Riccio notes that the hospital understands how important a visit from a relative or friend is during the recovery process. In certain instances, hospital employees may make exceptions.

“For example, if a couple has a new baby and they want their children to see their new brother or sister, we’re going look at the situation on a case-by-case basis,” Riccio said.

The preventive measure went into effect

on September 17 and will remain in effect until further notice. Anyone who feels ill is asked to stay away from the hospital; specifically inpatient areas.

“We understand and appreciate the public’s patience at this time,” Riccio said. “People come to the hospital to get better and we want to encourage that type of environment.”

Individuals with any of the following symptoms should avoid visiting patients: fever, active cough, sore throat, runny nose, nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea. Visitors should also use the Cal Stat alcohol hand rub to clean their hands as they enter and leave patient’s room.

And as far as preparing for novel H1N1 influenza or swine flue, AMC is taking steps similar to those taken by most area institutions.

“We’re actively approaching the situation,” Riccio said. “We’re treating it as not if, but when.”

“We’re educating staff about seasonal flu vaccines as well as H1N1,” he said. “We’re looking at potential scenarios if a lot of people come to the emergency room, how are we going to handle things like that? It’s really a massive undertaking, but certainly the preparation that’s under way I think will help us in the long run and we’ll be able to proactively deal with the situation.”

Most area schools and colleges have action and prevention plans in place for the inevitable arrival of swine flu in the Tri-Lakes.

And for seasonal flu, officials from the Franklin and Essex County Public Health Departments have scheduled vaccination clinics for September and October.

H1N1 vaccines are expected to be available by early next month.

Couponing's Best-Kept Secrets, Maximize the Match: BOGO Plus Two

L

ast week I introduced you to some of the fun ways shoppers can make "Buy one, get one free" (BOGO) sales even more rewarding.

Anytime we can buy one item and get another free, we're essentially buying two at half price each. So how do we make a half-off sale even better? With coupons, of course! Here's the third "best-kept secret" of couponBy Jill Cataldo ing: Secret #3: Use Two Coupons During a BOGO Sale At most stores, you can use one coupon per purchase.

Even though you're buying one item and getting another "free," it's not truly free. You still have to go through the act of "purchasing" it at the register (the store won't allow you to just pick up the "free" jar and take it home, will they?) If you live in an area that collects sales tax on groceries, you must still pay sales tax on the "free" item.

So, it's best to think of BOGO sales as buying two for the price of one. As long as you're buying two items, even if one is full-price and one is free, you can use a coupon on each item you're buying. You're buying two items, so you can use two coupons.

Here's an example illustrating why this is a great idea.

My grocery store has organic pasta sauces on sale for $3, "Buy one, get one free." And even though the register rings them up as $3 for the first jar and $0 for the second, it is still possible for me to present a coupon on each jar for additional savings.

For this sale, I have two $1 coupons for the pasta sauce.

Using one coupon for each jar I purchase brings my cost down to just $1 for two jars, or 50 cents each! That's a great price for any pasta sauce, especially organic.

Now, many grocery stores handle BOGO sales differently. With a sale like the one I outlined above, most stores' registers will ring the sale as one $3 jar and one $0 jar. Other grocery stores may approach the same BOGO sale by ringing up each item at $1.50 each. Either way, you can still use a coupon on each item and get each jar of pasta sauce for 50 cents.

Are you ready for a bonus tip? If your store "splits" BOGO prices into half for each item, you only have to buy one of the items to get it for that price! So, if you only had one pasta sauce coupon, you could buy just one jar, get it for the $1.50 price, use a $1 coupon on it, and still take it home for 50 cents.

To determine which way your store handles BOGO sales, look at your receipt the next time you buy items promoted in a BOGO sale. If the register rings one at full price and one at zero, you must buy two to receive the price. If it rings each one at half of full price, you will be able to buy just one of the items involved in the sale and receive it for half the price without buying the second item.

A Christmas miracle Lillian from Warrensburg wrote: When I was a little girl living in Weavertown in the 1930s, we had barely enough money for food. It was the height of the Great Depression and as winter approached we had no idea how we were going to heat our home for the winter. As Christmas neared, we were in a very bad way. My father had been seriously injured working in the woods and my mother had no choice but to tear boards off our chicken coop and the side of our home to burn in the woodstove for heat. A very proud man, my father was not one to ask for handouts, even though there was no way he could provide for me and my three younger brothers. Most days he could barely get out of bed.

On Christmas Eve, my elderly next-door neighbor saw me sitting on our porch and asked me what I had asked for for Christmas. I told him all I wanted was for my family to be warm and have something to eat. He said he understood. He was in as bad shape as our family and said he hadn’t had a real meal in days.

The next morning when I woke up it was Christmas. We had no presents. Didn't expect them like kids these days.

But when I opened the front door to help Mom peel some more boards for heat, I saw a strange sight in our front yard. To my disbelief, there stood a huge pile of split firewood. On the porch was a burlap sack containing a smoked ham. On it there was a note that read simply "To Lilli, from Santa."

I could never prove it was the old man who did that amazing deed, but the boot tracks through the snow sure looked a lot like his.

A daughter’s selflessness Joe from Whitehall wrote: I have a heartwarming story of my own about something my 5-year-old daughter did this summer. I am in the National Guard and spent the last year in Iraq. When I returned I took my daughter to the Great Escape to enjoy a sun-filled day and then to Martha's Ice Cream as she had been bugging me all day to make a stop there. She ordered and after receiving a cone heavily laden with ice cream, spun and started walking to our car. Before she could take her first bite, however, she noticed a young soldier in BDU's (camouflage outfit called a Battle Dress Uniform) standing a few people back in line. She immediately marched straight to the young man and offered him her ice

cream.

“I'd like you to have this and thank you for helping keep my Daddy safe so he could come home to Mommy and me,” she said.

I think we were both fighting back tears as my little girl spun and skipped away toward the car.

A guardian angel Kimberly from North Elba wrote: I was returning from college in an old Dodge Dart I had at the time and was traveling a very remote section of Route 8 in near blizzard conditions.

Rounding a corner somewhere outside Speculator I lost control and careened down a steep embankment. I was unhurt but the car was completely buried. I had to climb out a window just to get to the road as the doors were jammed shut by snow.

I really wasn’t prepared for the elements and had only sneakers and a light coat on as I made my way along the highway toward a house not far away. As I approached, a dog barked fiercely from inside and the porch light snapped on. I was so scared I could barely move but I didn’t know what else to do. From inside, a man’s voice barked “who's there?”

I yelled my name and told him my situation. After a long pause I heard the lock click on the door, but instead of opening it the man had locked it tight and I heard him say “get off my property.”

I ran back to my car crying and scared. Inside, I locked the doors and covered up with everything I could find. I tried the engine several times until the battery died and then huddled in the dark for what seemed like hours until a light shone though the back window.

“Everyone okay in there,” a voice said and I peeked my head out the window to see a rosy-cheeked gentleman with a flashlight.

“No,” I said through tears. “I’m stuck and I’m freezing.”

“Wait right there,” he said and in a moment I could hear a shovel clicking against the side of the car. Minutes later he helped me out the door and brought me to his plow truck that was idling nearby.

He offered me hot coffee from a Thermos and pulled a heavy wool blanket from behind the seat, draping it over my shoulders. Then he put a heavy chain on my car and yanked it out of the snow and, with the help of jumper cables, got my car going.

I was so grateful I gave him a big hug and offered him what little money I had. He said he had a daughter about my age and hoped that someone would help her out too if she was ever in a similar situation.

I never got the man’s name, so I hope you will print this story in hopes that maybe he sees it and understands what a profound difference he made in my life on that snowy January night.

He was my guardian angel.

Bicycling increasing worldwide I

n 1964, just over 50 percent of American students rode a bike to school and the rate of obesity for children was 10 percent. In 2006, three percent of Americans students rode a bike to school and 35 percent were overweight. Currently, it is estimated that 62 percent of American adults are overweight or obese.

Burgeoning American waistlines are a harbinger of a gathering national health storm, and the crisis around oil as our premier energy source is just now reaching critical mass. Even the most oblivious “ditto-head” cannot deny that we can no longer rely on oil as a long term energy source.

Europe has been dealing with expensive gasoline for many years. Perhaps that is why bicycle use in much of Europe is at a much higher level than in the U.S. Many European cities have built many miles of bike paths to encourage bicycle use and it has worked. 40 percent of all traffic movement in Amsterdam, the Netherlands is by bicycle. While Amsterdam is not especially identified for having a warm and dry climate that would encourage biking, its citizens don’t seem to mind.

In fact, most of the top bike friendly cities in the world are not warm climates. The top American city for bicycle use is rain-soaked Portland, Oregon. Portland’s bicycle culture is strong and growing. Since 1990 the number of bike paths has grown from 60 to 260 miles. Copenhagen, often called the city of bikes, has the most progressive city plan for increasing bicycle use. They have been successful in creating separate bike paths with their own signals making it the safest place in the world to bike. About 32 percent of the 1.8 million residents get around on a bicycle.

As greater access to safe biking has been made available, more and more residents have taken up biking. Sandnes, Norway; Trondheim, Norway; Berlin, Germany; Barcelona, Spain and Basel, Switzerland are some of the most bike friendly cities in the world. Some of the cities mentioned

feature large urban populations and many have cold or otherwise inclement weather at least part of the year.

All of the cities mentioned have political leadership that decided to create favorable conditions for increasing bike riding. The “build it and they will ride” line of reasoning has been employed by city planners.

There are many innovations that allow riders of all

By Scot Hurlburt ages to ride Bikes. In Trondheim, a bike trolley system pulls riders and their bikes up hills. This innovation encourages very young and very old riders to use their bikes.

Portland has a bike token program where you can pick a bike up in one part of the city and leave at another destination. All bikes have a rain poncho, a helmet, a tool kit, air pump and a city map.

Could all this bike riding contribute to overall health?

There does seem to be some evidence that it does. The life expectancy gap between the U.S. and Europe is large and growing as Americans struggle with widespread obesity and the associated illnesses. Some research suggests that riding a bike makes you more likely to engage in other active pursuits as well. Apparently, when you feel healthy, being active is not a chore, but rather something that is enjoyed. Imagine that! Remember all kids count.

thorn hedg and refuse to become involved in partial privatization of our Social Security and Medicare trust funds theft.

We senior citizens do not want Congress on the hill, who are our elected U.S. of A. legislative parsonage who want to escape accountability from their Constitutional Mandate.

Our elected Congressional officials cause us seniors to be trodden down as he mire of the streets after a landslide, or make us lick the dust like a serpent, or cause us to move out of our homes like the worm in wet weather.

Otherwise, we do not want to be taken down that primrose trail of no return because of Congress who might fleece our Social Security and Medicare out the back door. We already know that there are some in Congress who would want to lay their hand upon our mouth and command our ears to be deaf, because at this time, our Social Security and Medicare are secure.

Northwoods Challenge Oct. 3 TUPPER LAKE — The 2009 edition of the Northwoods Challenge has been set for Saturday, Oct. 3. The run and walk starts at the train station, proceeds up to McDonald’s where racers/walkers cross to the municipal park along the water looping back to the start point.

Each year organizers target a specific cause which proceeds after race expenses are donated. Past beneficiaries have included the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society, Adirondack Public Observatory and Next Stop! Tupper Lake.

Co-organizer Kay Pauquette said the idea for the race/walk came about several years ago.

“We, a group of local women, over the years have participated in many events around the Tri-Lakes and wanted to have our own event that would promote physical activity and community involvement,” said Pauquette.

The focus of the event, she added, is to just have fun. “We would really like all abilities to take part. The more the better; all levels.”

This year ’s lucky recipient will be the Town of Tupper Lake Summer Day Camp which plans to use proceeds to set up a scholarship fund for campers.

“We looked at several options this year for the proceeds to go to,” Pauquette explained. “We really liked that it was for Tupper Lake and could benefit the families of Tupper lake; especially now when money is tight.”

“The generosity of the board for the Northwoods Challenge will go a long way in allowing access to excellent programming for children throughout the community during the summer months,” said Mike Fritts, town recreation director.

The race begins at 10 a.m. A special kid’s fun run precedes the main event at 9:30 a.m. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.

Door prizes will be drawn from all 5-kilometer finishing race numbers.

To the editor, The Essex County Republican Committee has declared their choice of candidate for Essex County District Attorney. This doesn't mean all Essex County Republicans agree with their County Committee and may opt to vote for the “Other Republican Candidate,” Julie Garcia.

This is known as freedom of choice and, guess what voters? The Essex County Democratic Committee has chosen to endorse this “Other Republican Candidate,” Julie Garcia; super! Do we all realize what a compliment this is to Julie Garcia, as well as to all Republicans of Essex County?

It is saying, “we support a Republican for the office of Essex County District Attorney. Therefore, Julie Garcia has the support of the Essex County Democratic Party!”

Wow; both parties agreeing on one candidate! What does that say about voters of Essex County? In my opinion it indicates we are working together for the betterment of Essex County. We are taking a leadership role that will be recognized throughout New York State.

When comparison is being made of current responsibility of both candidates, please remember the incumbent, Julie Garcia, is the District Attorney, while her opponent is an Assistant DA. Julie shoulders all duties and responsibility of the Essex County DA office; her opponent takes direction from the Clinton County DA and he shoulders the responsibility of her duties.

As a former member of the Essex County Board of Supervisors, I observed Julie in her role as DA, and I admired her for reassessing the Essex County District Attorney's Office. Julie's leadership in attempting to bring control of finances, which should be the responsibility of the office of the County District Attorney's office, is to be commended. Julie was not being critical of any one department, but attempting to bring her office into financial compliance with State & Federal regulations.

The Briggs/Sprague vendetta needs to come to an end, and by pulling the lever for Julia Garcia, voters will accomplish this. I am taking a leadership role in voting for the Republican Candidate, Julie Garcia, who also has the support of our Essex County Democrats. I am proud to be a voter in Essex County!

Ken Wiley exhibit begins Oct. 1

Rand celebrates half a century at NCS

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — At age 82, Don Rand is continuing his dedication to the school where he’s taught for most of his life.

Rand, a Lake Placid native, began teaching music at North Country School, a boarding school in Lake Placid, in 1959. Five decades later, he is still at the piano bench, giving lessons to students three days a week.

Rand’s ties to the school date back even further, however. In 1954, he became a counselor at Camp Treetops, the resident summer camp that shares its campus with NCS. Before then, he had worked at Florida State University and Indiana University.

“I didn’t like the competitiveness of university life,” he said, “so I was pleased to come and work at this unique school.”

More than 100 current and former trustees, colleagues, students, campers, and friends gathered in Manhattan Sept. 12 to celebrate the rich history of performing arts

at NCS and Camp Treetops and to honor Rand’s more than 50 years of service to the school and camp community.

In addition to a reception, dinner, and toasts, the evening included musical performances on the piano and violin. Rand joined his former-student-turnedBroadway-music-director, David Loud, for a piano duet.

“It’s just a pleasure any teacher takes from seeing a very successful student,” said Rand. “It was a fun experience.”

Roger Loud, former NCS Head of School, longtime Lake Placid resident, and David’s father, was one of many speakers to note Rand’s versatility. Besides formal music classes, Rand also gave one-on-one lessons in piano, cello, clarinet, violin, voice, and more. By the time of his ostensible “retirement” in 1991, he’d chaired the English Department, served as admissions director, wrote school publications, and spent 30 years as a houseparent.

“Don is the quintessential Renaissance man,” noted David “Hock” Hochschartner, Head of School and Camp,

Head of School David “Hock” Hochschartner and former Head of School Roger Loud congratulated Don Rand on his 50 years of teaching at North Country School at a special dinner held Sept.

12 in Manhattan. Rand continues to give music lessons at the Lake Placid boarding school three days a week. “and we’ve been so fortunate to have his array of talents all these many years. It’s difficult to imagine this place without him —and luckily we don’t have to just yet.”

Looking back on his 50 years there, Rand said some of his favorite memories were producing the original musical plays which he wrote year after year.

“It’s just such a unique and amazing school,” he said of NCS. “There are kids from literally all over the world that come there. We’d have members of royalty doing barn

chores sometimes.”

These days, Rand lives in Lake Placid and Keene Valley rather than in the school’s dormitory. He’s proud to call himself a 44’er, having hiked all but two of the Adirondacks’ High Peaks.

Still, Rand is showing no signs of giving up teaching.

He’s expected to have upwards of 30 students this term for individual lessons in piano and violin.

“I guess there’s something to be said for inertia,” Rand said jokingly.

Maple tour From page 1

Champlain Valley Exposition Saturday, November 7th Doors Open at 11:00 a.m.

Show Starts at 2:00 p.m.

Tickets Only $1300

SARANAC LAKE — Watercolors and acrylics by Ken Wiley will be on exhibit at the Adirondack Artists’ Guild, 52 Main St., this October. A guild member, Wiley is the month’s featured artist. His works will be displayed from Thursday, Oct. 1 through Friday, Oct. 30. An opening reception will be Friday, Oct. 2 from 5-7 p.m.

The show,“Awakening,” represents new works and directions. In the spirit of awakening, the artist produced more than 25 works for consideration in this show, since January.

Presently 11 watercolors and eight acrylics are selected. A painter for 45 years who started in oils, Wiley began working exclusively in watercolors in 1987. This year he took up acrylics that allow for greater texture and modeling of the paint.

“Switching was a rewarding night and day experience,” said Wiley. “The watercolors require more finesse in line, detail, controlled brush work, and allow little recourse for correcting mistakes. The acrylics are more spontaneous as the medium permits greater give and take in the work’s development or, better still, battle. The painting usually starts off well, and then gets lost through overworking. Back and forth the painting goes through these stages until it is finally completed. I find working in these different mediums benefit each other in technical application.”

An additional reason for selecting Awakening is the show’s number of Adirondack paintings inspired by hiking and Jamieson’s The Adirondack Reader.

Following graduate school at the University of Iowa, Wiley moved to Saranac Lake. He began teaching art at North Country Community College in 1968, the college’s inaugural year. After 35 years, Wiley retired in 2003 and joined The Artists’ Guild in 2005.

the third largest maple producing state behind only Vermont and Maine. Farrell believes that there's still room for growth.

“I've conducted comprehensive surveys of the maple industry in Northern New York and the reports show that there's still great potential to produce even more,” he said.

“I think that I'm being conservative when I say that this could be a $9-million annual industry to the state.”

On Sept. 28, the tour will feature noted restaurant and hospitality consultant Clark Wolf, who will speak about the importance of building the local food economy and the role maple syrup producers can play in developing sustainable and thriving communities.

“Pure maple products are the local, healthy sugar alternative for the Northeast and we are excited to have Clark Wolf come speak about the incredible opportunities for maple producers to expand further into growing niche markets.”

Maple sugar contains more minerals and nutrients than cane sugar, Farrell said, and while demand for maple products is slowly expanding nationwide, more can be done to encourage their use, both in homes and in the food industry.

“I don’t think it should be an ‘alternative,’” said Farrell.

“Maple sugar was the primary source of sugar until we started importing cane sugar from the south.”

The tour opens Sept. 27 at the North Elba Show Ground with a presentation by Dr. Timothy Perkins, director of Proctor Maple Research Center at the University of Vermont. He will discuss the latest research on check-valve adapters, which have shown potential to produce between 50 to 90percent higher sap yields. The 4-6 p.m. event has a $10 admissions fee that includes complimentary hors d’oeurves.

Late registrations for the three-day Maple Tour event are also still being accepted. With a $25 late registration fee added, the cost is $165. To register, contact the Lake Placid/Essex County Visitors’ Bureau at 523-2445 ext. 109.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to those Republicans who supported me in the recent Primary Election. I have worked hard to serve the citizens of Essex County by reducing the budget, eliminating politics from prosecutorial decisions, and by dedicating my office to the seeking of truth. My every move is based on my desire to make our communities safe for you and your families.

You, and many others, will have the opportunity to hear much more about the true facts concerning the operation of the Essex County District Attorney’s office, now, in the past, and most importantly, in the future.

I am grateful for your steadfast faith in me and look forward to your continued support.

Soon all the voters will have an opportunity to review the real “evidence” and make their own judgment when they vote on November 3rd.

Paid for by friends to Re-Elect Julie Garcia.

Sincerely yours, Julie Garcia Essex County District Attorney

Women now a strong presence in the outdoors

E

arlier this month, I visited The Whitetail Summit 2009 hosted at the Sports Dome in Queensbury. Although attendance levels were lower than expected, the event offered numerous high quality exhibits and a wide range of interesting seminars. It was a good start toward building a quality show that will hopefully grow into an annual event.

I stuck around to attend The Whitetail Summit dinner sponsored by Trijicon and watch as Vermont deer hunting legend, Larry Benoit, was inducted into the newly created, Whitetail Hall of Fame, as its first member.

Benoit’s sons, Lanny and Shane, accepted the award on their father's behalf.

Among the camo clad crew, one enthusiast stood out.

Karen Turner, aka the Vermont Huntress was notable for one simple reason. She was a female and she represents the fastest growing constituency among an ever diminishing breed of outdoor enthusiasts, hunters.

Whitetail deer are a hunter ’s equivalent of bass. And like bass, whitetail deer are widely distributed across most of the country. Relatively easily accessible, whitetails are the most commonly hunted big game animal in North America. They are a blue collar animal, the prey of Joe Sixpack.

Despite the fact that whitetail deer are pursued predominantly by rural, white males, women constitute the fastest growing segment of the hunting fraternity today.

Over the past decade, an interesting and important trend has quietly taken place across the wild lands of North America. Women are taking to the woods in ever increasing numbers. They possess more effective outdoor skills and a greater level of confidence than ever before.

Hunting, fishing adventures are no longer the exclusive domain of the male of the species. Nor, in reality, were they ever!

Women were the original campers, from the earliest

days, in almost all corners of the earth. Aboriginal people relied on women to prepare shelters, to make clothes, gather the water, cook the meals and tend to the necessities essential to insure survival of their people.

Women made the decisions of when to move and where to camp. Meanwhile, the men hunted and went to war. It’s not surprising that many Native American nations were matriarchal societies.

As ‘civilized’ society grew and matured, it evolved to the point where a women’s place was considered to be the home, while the men were expected to roam. The wilderness was considered a hostile environment to be tamed. It was not a place fit for a lady.

Although numerous examples remain of pioneer women taking to the woods, the American society came to accept the fact that woodland travel and wilderness adventures were primarily a male dominated environment.

The massive Brandreth Park, with over 30,000 acres stretching from Raquette Lake to Long Lake, is considered the largest, single family owned parcel in the Adirondacks.

From the turn of the century and well into the 1900’s, a local hunter by the name of Paul Brandreth hunted these lands. Paul was an internationally recognized expert on hunting whitetail deer and wrote of his adventures in Forest and Stream, Woods and Waters and other national publications. He even published a book on hunting whitetails.

It is still considered one of the finest ever written on the subject.

However, despite being one of the foremost authorities on the topic, Paul never attended the fabled New York Sportsman Show. He never set foot in the Explorers Club nor shared a cigar with Teddy Roosevelt while recounting tales of the hunt.

The reason Paul Brandreth never shared in any of the common delights for a man of the hunt, was because he was a she. Pauline Brandreth wrote under the pen name Paul. It was the only way she could be published, for at the time, no one would believe that a woman knew anything about hunting whitetail deer.

Luckily, for both genders, this attitude is rapidly slipping into oblivion. Today, there are female forest rangers, EnCon officers and fire jumpers. Women now rate highly as hunting and fishing guides, two pursuits considered the bastions of traditional guided adventures.

Women are also leading trips for whitewater rafting, ski touring, backpacking, rock climbing and ice climbing.

They form the core of wilderness education programs and represent nearly 72 percent of the membership of the National Association of Interpreters, a professional organization of certified naturalists. Women now constitute the majority of instructors teaching the next generation about the out of doors.

Women have more opportunities today to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for wilderness adventures.

At the same time they are acquiring these tools, they are also empowering themselves to better utilize this training, often while teaching others.

Additionally, as women began to take advantage of the opportunities to enjoy wilderness adventures, the outdoor industry took notice.

In 1984, Kelty, Inc., a premier manufacturer of backpacks, introduced the Kelty Woman, a backpack specifically designed for the female frame. Kelty was one of the first in the outdoor industry to recognize the potential for manufacturing and marketing products specifically for women.

Previously, women had to use smaller sized men’s equipment or products made for children. However, this equipment didn’t fit, feel or look right.

How quickly the tide turned. Today, equipment technology features lighter, stronger materials that are easier to use and carry. These products are more accessible than ever since they are often designed, manufactured and marketed by women for women.

Companies such as Browning, Marlin and Rugar now produce firearms specifically designed and sized for women. So does Orvis, LL Bean and a host of outdoor equipment and apparel manufacturers.

Furthermore, the advent of gender specific gear has made skill sets and technique more important than brute strength. Materials such as kevlar have dramatically reduced product weight, while graphite has improved performance. Today, there are more women paddling remote regions and casting a flyrod than ever before.

Removing the ‘macho’ element from the outdoor experience has opened new horizons of adventure travel to a segment of the population that is appreciative, considerate of the environment and in many cases, ‘just fun to be with.’

Gentlemen be advised! The next time you encounter someone you thought was just a “Babe in the Woods,” keep an eye on her. You may learn a thing or two!

Lincoln Logs moving forward under Stephenson ownership

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — About six months since the Mike Huckabee Show thrust the Stephenson family’s bailout of log home manufacturer Lincoln Logs Ltd. in the national spotlight, company officials say Lincoln Logs is moving forward in redeveloping its business.

“Each month, we’ve been getting more inquiries, seeing more activity, and making more sales and deliveries,” Lincoln Logs sales manager Bob Olden said Friday.

During the height of the financial collapse and the implosion nationally of the housing industry, the Stephenson family bought the assets of Lincoln Logs for $2.5 million in a bankruptcy auction. Soon after this November 2008 transaction, they put 25 or so company employees back to work.

Lincoln Logs had gone bankrupt under former owners that had recently launched an ill-timed, overly aggressive and underfunded expansion. When they filed for bankruptcy, they had a backlog of millions of dollars of pending orders on their books.

Since then, the resurrected firm has salvaged and fulfilled the pending orders and are actively seeking new business, Olden said.

“We’ve been busy following through with customers’ orders, meeting their needs in every way we can,” he said.

The firm is also concentrating on generating new business, Olden said. About a month ago, Lincoln Logs introduced a new selection of upscale models in their High Peaks Designer Series.

The series had its debut on the firm’s website, which is now getting 10,000 hits per week after it was updated and redesigned, he said.

The national housing industry downswing, which last year prompted a 36 percent decline in sales for the former Lincoln Logs, is now showing signs of recovery, Olden said.

SATURDAY September 26, 2009

Audience participating production Sept. 26 LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid Central School Drama Club presents “DOA: Death of Art,” this Saturday, Sept. 26, at 7:03 p.m.

When a 300 pound mobile crashes down on the art teacher, it's not just a movement, it's murder. Art teacher, Autumn Leaves, was examining the latest class project of the advanced art class — ironically titled "iron butterfly" — when a wing dropped on her. There was a screw loose and the “accident” left the art teacher dead.

Once again, it will take an audience of super sleuths to solve this murder. The production is an audience participation murder mystery, in which the audience must interview the cast of characters to figure out the guilty suspect. Best of all, there will be prizes for the best detectives.

The play is directed by Peggy Plank and the original script is by Gem*Boy. Proceeds go to the Bridget Stewart Memorial Scholarship Fund presented by the LPHS Drama Club to a graduating student.

Flu clinic announced for Sept. 29 LAKE PLACID — Essex County Public Health will hold a seasonal flu clinic Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 3-7 p.m. at Lake Placid Town Hall. Vaccines are $20 for adults, age 19 and older. Children ages six months to 18 years pay no fee. Pneumonia vaccines will also be available for $42. For more information, call 873-3500.

“We had a good September, and we think October is going to be phenomenal,” he said. “The housing industry has hit bottom, and is now climbing back up.”

At the height of prevailing fears of national economic collapse, the Huckabee show portrayed the Lincoln Logs bailout as a prime example of how private enterprise, with strong community support, could be successful at providing jobs without a government bailout.

The show’s millions of viewers nationwide saw local community leaders talk about Lincoln Logs and its business, and the vital jobs it provided in the region.

Lincoln Logs Vice President Erin Stephenson Brothers said Friday the Huckabee Show went beyond immediately stimulating interest in log home purchases and potential dealerships for Lincoln Logs.

“Most of all it had a positive impact on people’s perception,” she said. “Viewers across the nation saw us as a familyowned business, and people look up to that with all that’s going on in the U.S.

right now. It also spurred interest and confidence among potential dealers.”

Company officials have said that the common ownership of Stephenson Lumber and Lincoln Logs provides substantial synergies, including design capabilities, and their ability to supply each other materials from extensive inventories at wholesale.

The firm is now seeking to expand its roster of dealerships, particularly in the northeastern U.S., from Tupper Lake to Cape Cod to New Hampshire, Maine and South Carolina, Olden said.

Lincoln Logs employees take pride in the customer service they provide, he said, noting that the firm hosts seminars every six weeks for prospective homeowners. Held Saturday mornings, they tackle topics including design, financing and construction of log homes.

The next such session in from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday Sept. 26.

“Our passion to satisfy customers is so important to our success,” Olden said.

“We help design and follow through with clients as if it is our own home.”
