Candidates debate business park
HELPING HAND
ELIZABETHTOWN
LAKE PLACID
By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — While Harrietstown supervisor candidates debate the future of the business park in Lake Clear, town officials are defending the work they’ve accomplished at the site since it was established in the 1990s. The first tenant — Franklin County ARC, now called the Adirondack Arc — moved into the business park in 1997. Since then, only one other business has moved into the development, Bionique Testing Laboratories. There is no marketing or business plan for the park and no information about it on the town of Harrietstown’s website.

LAKE PLACID — Teachers, administrators, parents and students worked through the rain to complete the final work on the new Lake Placid Elementary School playground Oct. 6.
“I wanted to help,” fifthgrader Mike Scutt, 10, said. “I have been digging and helping move mulch.” “The weather was not an impact at all,” Principal Javier Perez said. “We have been going strong and we have even had some kids out here helping us out, spreading out
mulch and then diving right into it.” Perez said the community work that has gone into creating the new playground has been impressive. “We have about 20 people helping today and on Friday (Oct. 5) we had about 30 kids from the Northwood Hockey team

here helping out. They did a great job.” Perez said along with the school community help, they had also received help in moving mulch and other tasks from the Village of Lake Placid and Town of North Elba. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union (TFCU) wishes to thank ALL the community members who supported their third annual school supply drive. Without their support, it could not be the successful event that it has become. “We’re happy to be able to provide supplies to our area schools again this year, thanks to the generosity of our credit union members,” said Shawn Hayes, President and CEO of Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union. “We are amazed by the generosity of our local people and businesses,” he continued. Hundreds of supplies and several monetary donations including Wal-Mart gift cards were donated throughout the month of August. The supplies were collected at the Credit Union’s three branches and two off-site ATM locations (International Paper Ticonderoga Mill and the Schroon Lake Grand Union Market). Donations have been turned over to area schools for distribution to students.

On Sunday Aug. 12, an Eagle Scout Ceremony was held for Tyler R. Poitras. Tyler is from Boy Scout Troop 24 of Wilton. The ceremony was held at the St. Therese Chapel in Gansevoort. During the ceremony, Thomas Klotz, Exalted Ruler of Saratoga-Wilton Elks Lodge #161, presented Poitras with a framed National Elks Eagle Scout Certificate with an American Flag. For his Eagle Scout project, Poitras was awarded for building three raised organic gardens bed for the Dorothy Nolan Elementary School. Each was 4 by 12 ft. in size and each had a drip irrigation system with to make watering the gardens easier for the school. Students used the gardens to grow their own vegetables which they ate during their lunch time. Poitras schooled the students all about how to grow a garden and the benefits of having one. The project took approximately 1 year and he had assistance from fellow schouts, friends, parents, and from Applebees, Allerdice, Lowe’s and Olde Saratoga Home and Garden. Poitras is the grandson of Harry and Cecile Denton of New Russia and George Poitras Sr. of Stillwater.

Lewis residents seek to create town library By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com LEWIS — A special meeting will be held Wednesday, Oct. 24, to talk about the potential creation of a library in the town of Lewis. “We went through the comprehensive plan committee meetings and the idea of a library in town was one of the main topics that came up,” Kathy Linker said. “We decided to put a meeting together to further the discussion on what we need to do.” Linker said that previously, the town
was using the services provided by the Clinton-Franklin-Essex County Library System’s Bookmobile for library needs. However, when that program was ended by the organization, it left a void for library services within the town. “Once we no longer had the Bookmobile, people started to talk about how nice it would be to have our own library to go to,” Linker said. “We want to now start kicking that process off.” Linker said that ideas so far have ranged from using bookshelves at the town hall to finding a building that would loan space for the facility.
“We are hoping to find some space,” Linker said. “There is a long process that we will have to go through that we are just beginning, but space is one of the key issues.” The Oct. 24 meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the Lewis Congregational Church Parish Hall. There will be refreshments served. “We are just looking for people to come with their ideas and make this into a brainstorming session,” Linker said. For more information, call 873-6493 or 873-6593.
Minerva supervisor enjoyed time at convention keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The small-town supervisor of Minerva made her way to the big-time stage of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. last week, at one point being on the bigtime stage. “On Wednesday (Sept. 5), I was seated on the podium over the left shoulder of the speakers, so I was right next to President (Bill) Clinton when he gave his speech,” Corey said. “You could see the teleprompter, which camera
was on the speaker, everything.” Corey, who chairs the Essex County Democratic Party, said the chance to go to the national party convention was “fabulous” and “amazing.” “I thought that the remarks by many of the people were outstanding,” she said. “I couldn’t believe how you would have these great speakers coming up, one right after another.” Corey said that she had no expectations as this was the first convention she had attended and that her only issue was with the busing system. “The security perimeters

Corey said that in four years, she would love to make another trip to support a new Democratic candidate for president of the United States (if Obama is re-elected, he will reach the POTUS twoterm limit. If not, then they will also need a new candidate). “I would be happy to go again,” Corey said. “It was an extraordinary experience.”

KEESEVILLE — The Keeseville dissolution study committee is almost finished. About eight months ago, a study committee to determine the economic effects of dissolving the Village of Keeseville into neighboring towns Chesterfield and Au Sable Forks was formed. Tim Weidemann, founder of Rondout Consulting, has been involved in all aspects of the dissolution study, including conducting a fiscal analysis of dissolution options. Weidemann led a dissolution study committee discussion on Sept. 25, which was open to the public and took place at the village hall in Keeseville. Weidemann announced that study committee members have voiced concerns that some of the savings dissolution could bring to village residents were previously overstated. The result, he said, was an amended plan that shows that not all village residents will see savings if dissolution occurs. To handle the village’s water and sewer needs, the towns would have to create water and sewer districts, something Weidmann recommended establishing before dissolution goes to a vote. Garbage pickup in the former village would also need to be figured out. According to the updated report, the change in water, sewer and garbage services could result in an increase by as much as $190 per year for village residents. Some village residents also might see an increase in combined property taxes. The study also shows that, after dissolution, tax rates could decrease for residents in Chesterfield and Au Sable Forks. In the wake of dissolution, about 13 village positions would also be eliminated, including: village mayor, deputy mayor, three village trustees and deputy clerk. Eight new positions would in turn be created: sewer operator, sewer clerk, sewer laborer and seasonal laborer in Au Sable Forks and water operator, water clerk, water laborer and highway equipment operator in Chesterfield. All retirement contracts with current village employees would be terminated, but village specific post-employee benefits like health care would continue to be provided to employees who retire prior to dissolution. Employees transferred to one of the towns would assume the benefits provided by that town. And then there is the price of dissolution itself. Weidemann estimated that dissolution would cost village residents between $20,000 and $25,0000 , which includes both legal and accounting fees, appraisals, and costs related to the termination of former employees. To cover the cost, the village could seek a grant from the New York State department of state’s local government efficiency grant program. Keeseville Mayor Dale Holderman also announced that a petition, initiated and signed by registered voters in the village, was turned in to the village’s town clerk Sept. 25. The petition contained 122 signatures, 119 of which were verified as registered voters. The amount of signatures is more than the 10 percent of registered voter signatures required to force the issue of dissolution to a village-wide vote. “The board of trustees was very pleased the petition came in because now the weight is off their shoulders, and that’s the way I wanted it to go anyway,” Holderman said. Holderman has spoken out against dissolution, and even went as far as to include a letter to that effect with the village’s September water bill. The final public dissolution meeting will be held Oct. 17, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Keeseville Firehouse.

Winter Empire State Games join forces with new foundation
Playground
By Keith Lobdell
“We should be all wrapped up and all that is left is to let the cement cure,” Perez said. “We should be ready to go when the first recess bell rings at 11:10 a.m. on Wednesday (Oct. 10).” Perez said he is pleased the process, which started when the school decided to replace the former playground equipment over potential injury concerns, is close to its conclusion. “Since school started there have been plenty of questions about it from parents and students,” he said. “We have told them to be patient and that we were shooting for early October and we are right on target.”
keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — A new partnership with the foundation looking to bring the Empire State Summer Games back will also prove beneficial for the annual Winter Games here. James McKenna and Sandy Caligiore announced the partnership with the Empire State Sports Foundation of Rochester Oct. 4. “We started this discussion to put both games under the same major brand during the last winter games,” McKenna said. “We will now have one voice when it comes to attracting sponsorships and getting people motivated for the games.” McKenna said that having a central foundation to market the games will help bring in more revenue through sponsorships and advertising, which will allow both events to grow. “Our goal is getting youth involved in sports and we have to be something that is well rounded,” he said. “You have this new wave of sports that are becoming part of the winter landscape and we want to expand the number of sports that are involved. Through this partnership, we will be in a better position to grow to that level by being a partner with the foundation.” McKenna added that he felt the partnership with the Empire State Sports Foundation would help the winter games reach their goals.

Jim McKenna, ESG alum Tucker West and Sandy Caligiore speak to media as they announce a new partnership between the winter games and the Empire State Sports Foundation. Photo by Keith Lobdell “We started this new venture three years ago with eight municipalities and a lot of private sector sponsors,” he said. “Our intent has always been to grow these games so they become one of the premier multisport events in the United States, and this is going to help us accomplish that.” “This is definitely going to help us state wide,” Caligiore said. “With the foundation, they will help us with attracting sponsors and other things, but we will maintain the autonomy to run the games the way that we have been running them for over three decades.” Caligiore said that the purpose of the games were to continue to involve youth athletes in olympic sporting events, including Tucker West, who raced at the Winter ESG and helped win a gold medal in the recent Youth Winter Olympics.

“I give all the credit to ESG for my continuing in luge,” West, 17, said. “It was great practice for the youth olympics. It was a great atmosphere to compete in and meet other athletes.” Empire State Sports Foundation has taken over the planning, promotion and organization of the summer games thanks to a recent agreement signed with the New York State Parks Department. At a press conference announcing the creation of the Foundation, Stephen Gionta, an ESG alum and current National Hockey League (locked out) player, talked about his experiences. “I played in the Empire State Games, and I loved it,” Gionta said. “It was one of the most memorable moments of my young hockey career. To play against the best in the state, to play for my region, to play for a gold
medal – nothing compares. I hope all alumni join me in lending their voice and helping to bring back the Empire State Games.” The foundation has also received support from former summer games athlete and U.S. women’s soccer star Abby Wambach as well as Michael G. Carey, the son of former state Gov. Hugh L. Carey, who founded the games in 1978. Due to the fiscal reasons, the state funding was cut in 2009, and the games were permanently discontinued in 2010. The Winter Games continued thanks to the work of Lake Placid and all the communities of the Adirondack region.

Jobs lives on through the innovations he leaves behind
T
hursday Oct. 5, when computers were fired up around the globe, many thousands of them began showing a slide show of black-and-white images of Apple Computer founder, the late Steve Jobs. This compelling memorial presentation — depicting highlights of his career on the oneyear anniversary of his untimely death — transfixed many, including employees at Denton Publications. Jobs has indeed exerted a remarkable influence in all of our lives. His innovations have granted us all incredible power, a connectedness and access that we couldn’t have imagined just decades ago. Plenty has been said about how he made music personal — and transformed the music industry — with the iPod, or how he launched a new era of creativity in film and television animation through his work at Pixar. But his crowning achievement was perhaps the iPhone — a truly revolutionary device. Combining a cell phone with an Internet communicator — and the ability for this remarkable, device to run apps — has changed the world forever. Whether it’s the ability to use a handheld device to conduct instant financial transactions on-the-go, shooting and editing videos, or remotely controlling your home’s environment, it can all be done now, on-the-go, from anywhere on the globe on a handheld device. Its potential uses are virtually unlimited. Many of us at Denton’s depend on the device so we can best accomplish our daily work in a demanding industry. Steve Jobs was the visionary that made it all happen — It has been said that Jobs knew what we all wanted and needed before we could even imagine it. But all the recent attention on this latest device shouldn’t overshadow Jobs’ work in the late 1970s and early 1980s that was no less revolutionary — merging graphics with digital information. Before Jobs’ innovations in this regard, computers only displayed little 1/8-inch-high numbers and letters on monochrome monitors. Jobs’ commitment to personal computers’ graphical interface, mouse and WYSIWYG, or “What You See Is What You Get,” changed all our lives forever. Many of you can surely remember the early Internet, when only numbers and letters were transmitted from computer to a remote machine. These developments changed dissemina-
tion of news forever, and those of us in the newspaper industry are acutely aware of Jobs’ influence. Before Jobs and Apple computer, typesetting was accomplished by phototypesetters, hulking machines that cost $50,000 to $125,000 and suffered frequent breakdowns — requiring repairs that were likely to cost more than the purchase-price of a high-end desktop computer. Reporters used typewriters to compose their articles, often typing them up several times in their entirety for a final draft. When Denton Publications armed their employees with Apple computers — we were “early adopters” — our reporters and editors gained speed and creativity, as well as pursuing higher standards in our work. Those costly and unreliable phototypesetters were scrapped. The Apple computers gave us remarkable capability to readily compete with the corporate giants in getting vital news out to the public on a timely basis. Jobs’ innovation of a graphical interface, combined with the Internet a decade or so later, prompted a seismic shift in publishing, as people began obtaining news faster and more conveniently via the Internet. A new generation has increasingly adopted this digital conduit as more convenient and satisfying. We at Denton Publications embraced this trend early on — about a decade ago — delivering community news on an array of websites, when many other newspapers were depending solely on newsprint. Since then, we have continued our commitment to digital news delivery by continually enhancing our online offerings. Also, we have the most advanced digital pre-press composition equipment that can deliver the highest-fidelity printed products — also an indirect result of Jobs’ remarkable vision. We at Denton Publications are thankful for Steve Jobs’ incredible talent and imagination. Although he has passed on, his remarkable contributions to society — which are bringing us all closer together — live on through the innovations he left behind. This editorial is the collaborative opinion of a board comprised of Thom Randall, Fred Herbst, Shaun Kittle, Keith Lobdell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn, Katherine Clark and John Gereau.

The U.S. debt remains our darkest cloud
I
n the next month as the election nears we’ll continue to hear a great deal about the U.S. debt now over $16 trillion and climbing. While the nation faces many issues nothing is more serious to our long term stability as a sovereign nation than the massive debt we’ve accumulated over the past decade. You may have heard some of these analogies before but getting a true understanding of the sheer size and scope of this debt will, I hope, cause us each to recognize why this issue must be addressed and why we absolutely must begin reversing the spending habits of this nation. If you spent one million dollars a day since the day Jesus was born, 2,012 years ago you would not have spent one trillion dollars but, instead, only about $750 billion dollars. If that’s not personal enough for you, consider this, based on the current U.S. population, every U.S. citizen — man, woman and child — now owes just under $50,000 each to pay for the debt we’ve racked up over the past few years. In 2011 the World Bank estimated that the Gross World Product, that is the value of the products world-wide would be valued at approximately $80.7 trillion dollars. In the United States the Gross National Product is valued at approximately $15.2 trillion dollars. Our debt now exceeds the total one year production of the entire country. The U.S. government is the world’s biggest client, spending more money — our money — than any other entity in the world. The U.S. government spends one million dollars every eight second and currently borrows approximately 40 perceny of the money it spends. In the last year alone our debt rose by $1.2 trillion. In comparison the world’s tenth largest economy is our neighbor to the north, Canada. Their economy is $1.7 trillion. Our neighbor to the south, Mexico, the fourteenth largest economy, is just slightly smaller then our 2011 debt. In fact our debt has now grown so large that there isn’t enough cash in the world to cover the debt so the federal government has become the major purchaser of the debt financing it by printing more than $1.6 trillion. I don’t know about you but those numbers should be scaring the day lights out of us all. But perhaps we’ve all just become so accustomed to borrowing money that as long as the country can continue to borrow we assume that there must not be a problem. Oh sure we hear about the debt and the reduction in the credit rating but does it really hit home or as they say is ignorance bliss. As citizens of this country we are all co-signers and ultimately guarantors of this debt that’s been accumulating by Republicans and Democrats alike — we all own a piece of this. Like any household the more money you owe the more expensive it becomes to borrow money. At some point regardless of how much interest you are willing to pay, lenders won’t put more of their money at risk knowing you are so far in
the hole they’ll never see their money again. When you are spending 40 percent more money than you bring home, how long do you think it will take beDan Alexander fore someone comes Thoughts from Behind the Pressline knocking on the door? The biggest difference between personal finance and the U.S. government is the government’s ability to print more cash. As long as our lenders, the other countries around the world, continue to turn a blind eye to this practice we can get away with it, but just as the government looks unfavorably on counterfeiters, so do the other nations of the world. Like any large debtor once it becomes apparent we have no intent or ability to change our spending ways, and pay off this debt our dollar will be rendered as having no value and other assets will be claimed in place of the cash to cover the debt. The candidates will both talk about their plans to reduce spending and tackle the debt. Until the American public is willing to step up and demand that debt reduction is priority number one, our national leaders will value election and reelection, more than being the disciplined leaders who tell us the hard, cold facts we would rather not hear nor deal with. Think about your newborn child or grandchild who perhaps was just born owing $50,000, upon birth because we lacked the resolve to address this growing debt. Democrats want to increase taxes to the rich. Republicans want to see the economy improved so more people can help carry the tax load. We must be willing to face the truth. It will take every man, woman and child to step up and accept their share of this debt. Rich, middle income or poor, we must all accept responsibility. There can be no more passing the buck, the blame or failure to accept these facts. If we fail to recognize this crisis, the interest on the debt alone, estimated at over $400 billion annually, will outpace our efforts to reduce the principle debt. So as you watch and listen to the upcoming debates and the candidates talk about their plans to be fiscally responsible by cutting costs and reducing the debt with plans in the billions spread out over many years so as to sound good today but placing the true impact long after they have left office, be mindful. I hope you can put your arms around the magnitude of our debt and how those plans may pale in comparison to the true crisis we face and the tremendous burden we are placing on future generations.

Further response
Questions candidate
Helping children get along
To the Valley News: The E’town Planning Board felt the need to “ correct the misinformation “ contained in a recent Letter to the Editor of mine. I challenge their “facts.” First, they again refer to their task as “ updating the 37 year-old Comprehensive Plan.” There is no existing Comp. Plan. It was rejected 37 years ago, by the Zoning Board and the Town Board as being too restrictive for property owners. Second, they deny that their “plan is to impose town wide zoning.” This is technically true, because the Planning Board can’t “ impose “ more zoning, nor can the Town Board. A public referendum vote would be required, so the statement is irrelevant. The Comp. Plan Team is more than just the Planning Board. Others are on the non-appointed Team; such as the Chairman of the ZBA; such as a Director for the Adirondack Council; and such as the Supervisor ’s husband, Harry Otis Gough. If a Comp. Plan is approved, the Team, or anyone for that matter, could pressure the Town Board to put new zoning changes on a ballot. Perhaps a new Team will create themselves, as happened with the existing Team. New regulatory oversight and enforcement procedures could also be a part of it, enabling the Planning Board to enforce current A.P.A rules and more. Read Hamlets 3 or Smart Growth documents if you wish to be enlightened about the real goals. Third, a Planning Board plus a few volunteers makes the “ Team “ a Citizens Committee, which requires a Town Board appointment, which has been continuously rejected by them. All this legal stuff is such a nuisance, but I know they understand it since Supervisor Bartley used the law to keep a sitting Councilman off the Team back in February. That was me. I absolutely believe that they are working hard and are “totally committed.” The question remains, “totally committed“ to what? My objective is to let the voters understand that the content of this Plan is important to them. Remember, the Town Board can reject or alter the Plan, so your input and the structure of the Town Board will be important. The upcoming election will help shape the Board that decides the issue. Ken Fenimore, Elizabethtown
To the Valley News: Mike McGinn for town council I feel would be a step backward for Elizabethtown. During the past few years having attended or watched most of our town board meetings, I have observed Mike McGinn to be nothing more than a yes man for the former supervisor, Noel Merrihew. Mike brought very little to the table and seldom spoke independently about issues. However, I do remember at one board meeting how he spoke out about a music festival that was held at the Otis Mountain Ski area for the benefit of the Elizabethtown Fire Dept. and the council of the arts. He complained that the noise from the festival site, which was about a half a mile from his home, kept him awake. He evidently had little tolerance for members of the fire department. Who can forget how Mike McGinn, as a union representative, alienated many in this area just a short time ago. This is certainly not the individual I want as a member of the town board. Malcolm Martin, Elizabethtown
hildhood is a time for exploring and learning about the world including the people that inhabit that world. Friends become very important to children and help to enrich a child’s life in many ways. Childhood research suggests that children have a friend or friends are less depressed or anxious than children who do not. Further, the research suggests that siblings cannot fill in or take the place of friendships. Through friendships, children can learn how they like to be By Scot Hurlburt treated and how they should treat others. Like most learned behaviors, much of what children will learn will be modeled by the adults around them. If children inhabit an environment where social competencies like generosity, cooperation and empathy are being regularly modeled by adults, there will be a strong liklihood that children will learn these desirable, prosocial behaviors. When children are very young adults may have to look for opportunities to reinforce prosocial behaviors when children act kindly toward another child or adult. Given the opportunity, children will learn to cooperate and to share with other children. These behaviors, once mastered with a friend, or several friends can be shared with the larger group. Children raised in this way experience how good it feels to be nice to others. These children are also learning important lessons about taking care of others and themselves. In the process, children learn that words can and do hurt and name calling and teasing can make someone miserable. While playing competitive games with children can teach them many important lessons, it is a model based on someone winning and someone losing. It can be helpful to teach children how to play cooperative games where the entire group or several small groups work toward a common goal. In this model, the group wins together. This model also offers an opportunity to discuss different levels of success or winning. For example is winning at all cost worth hurting or losing friends while achieving a personal triumph? As children get older, competition can be more reasonably experienced by the child and better managed. As teachers, coaches and other professionals that regularly work with children will tell you, a child’s home life can have a dramatic influence on how the child behaves out in the world. One researcher described the influence of home in this way, connected children feel more secure and less angry than peers who are unconnected. The unconnected child functions from an interior conversation that is angry, fearful and often selfish. I was running an adventure group and part of the first day was to step into the circle and say something about yourself. A young girl stepped into the circle and said, “Everyone is afraid of me and I like it that way.” I was taken aback by her revelation but quickly realized that she was being honest as the rest of the group avoided her. This amazing little girl had no insight into her own behavior and she suffered profound social isolation as a result. If a child is raised in a home where there is plentiful anger the child may incorporate being angry as just how life is or the child may become angry because their general wellbeing is being threatened by the frequent presence of anger. Frequently, children that live with angry caretakers will become withdrawn. They in essence, put on an angry face to protect themselves from what might be more angry people or actions. It isn’t difficult to see that a child would take these maladaptive steps in order to protect themselves and are often unable to understand that the behaviors that they have adopted make them even more vulnerable. Sadly, these children get sent many powerful negative messages from children and adults. Some responses are spoken and some are not. The angry child may be told to “stay away” or “you cannot play with us.” The unspoken rejections may be registered as not being invited to birthday parties or being asked to stay overnight at a classmates house. These experiences are heartbreaking and serve to reinforce the angry or disconnected child’s fears of mistreatment and/or rejection. Caretakers and other adults can help the disconnected or angry child by catching them being nice or doing something for someone else. These children are not bad or broken but rather they have made adaptions to their life situation that does not serve them well at all. There are many famous and not so examples of children who grew up in challenging circumstances and went on to be happy and productive adults. In many instances, these courageous children sought support outside their own home. As an adult you have a chance to help to change a child’s life just by being kind, patient and compassionate. For some children, you may be the only person that will give these gifts. Remember, all kids count. Reach the writer at Hurlburt@wildblue.net
Endorses Hatch To the Valley News: I am pleased and delighted to see that Evelyn Hatch is running for the recently vacated Town Council seat. Evelyn was one of the first people my wife Gail and I met upon settling in E’town seven years ago. She was friendly, welcoming, and eager to extoll the virtues of life in Elizabethtown. Over the years it has become clearly evident that Evelyn is very serious about her concern and devotion to our town, and I have observed first hand her untiring efforts to enhance it’s present day stability, and future advancement. Evelyn has spent countless hours as an active member and treasure for the Elizabethtown Chamber of Commerce, as well as a valuable member of the towns Comprehensive Plan Committee. Be it handing out cold water at the E’town day parade, or asking the tough questions at town meetings, I firmly believe that Mrs. Hatch is eminently qualified to sit on the town board, and I enthusiasticcally endorse her candidacy. Ronald J. Testa, R.A. Elizabethtown
Rich and fat
S
o, one of these things you want to be, and the other you don’t. As for me, I am the opposite of that equation. Through this whole debacle that has been the 2012 Presidential election, there has been one question that has been nagging at me: when did it become wrong to be rich? All you hear is how Mitt Romney or this candidate or that candidate is “rich” and therefore cannot relate to the little man. First of all, guess what - they’re all rich. Every candidate that you see running for federal office is rich. President Obama is a rich man. He has made a lot of money in his life. Does he have as much as Romney, no, but it’s kind of like my philosophy on the weather when I was serving my mission in Sacramento — once it gets over 100 degrees,, it doesn’t matter what the last two digits are on the thermometer, it’s just plain hot. Similarly, once you have two commas in your bank account, it does not matter what the numbers are on the left side of that second comma, that is a ridiculous amount of money. Second, being rich means that you have been successful at whatever you have decided to pursue in your life, a good quality in a presidential candidate. It may also mean that you have been smart with your money and
Applaud, not scold To the Valley News: I do not always agree with the DEC. This time, however, instead of scolding, these outraged people should be applauding the compassion of these men. They tried to do all in their power to aid and help “the Ausable Moose.” The animal had come to roost on a tiny bit of high ground. It was not a place this magnificent animal would have chosen, if he was well or unharmed. Why? He could not move to the water, where he could browse on the water plants and drink his fill. Why? He was too ill, or lame to do so. Some motorist had hit him, no doubt or caused him to bolt and hurt himself, or he was chased by someone on an off-road vehicle or shot at, or had the wasting disease that melts an animal’s life away. There was a reason this animal did not stand and charge folks, but instead turned his back so all those curious people would not see his tears as he faced his demise. Calmly and quietly as animals do, when death is near. That he stood in one place, for all those days, should be enough to say how very infirm he really was. No, this time I feel the DEC came to a wise and human solution, one not made lightly, for to destroy any animal, is not what one wishes to do. I am also sure the person who pulled that trigger will carry that event in his heart for a long time. It was a deed done out of kindness, not malice. A few weeks ago, my grandchildren spied a tightly tapped box beside the road. It was one of those over 90 degree day. How long it had been there in the bright sun? With curiosity of children, they stopped and looked inside. There was a tiny beautiful puppy who had cried so much he could not make a sound. It was so hot he was nearly cooked. Now you tell me how any person could do that to a baby? Any baby, human or animal. And it is done all the time. The animal shelter was only up the road. Now at least this puppy has a home. I have wept many tears over the beautiful moose, whose life was cut short, not by the DEC but by his own facing of death and his bravery. I also cry for a puppy that some very selfish and cruel person felt did not deserve to live. We all need to look carefully at all the creatures around us and do our utmost to grant a safe and loving environment to live. We need to care and truly understand that there are times we need to out of love, not anger. Patty Francisco, Tupper Lake
Right, however... To the Valley News: Jerry Rambach (Saturday, Sept. 22) is right that East Germany’s system did not work, but today’s united Germany is a successful welfare state whose citizens are in no hurry to imitate the U.S.A., let alone the Tea Party’s war against all. Charles W McCutchen, Lake Placid
know how to budget, another good quality to have as a chief administrator. Being rich has gone from being celebrated to being reviled. Why? I still want to be rich. Hopefully, I still have time to try and achieve that goal. I don’t need by Keith Lobdell to be five houses in five countries, 50 cars and a fleet of private jets rich, I’d take just one single, straight number past the second comma rich. Heck, I’d take more than one number past the first comma rich, for that matter. Now, onto the second half of the title. Last week, a big deal was made about a reporter who went on television to defend her weight because a man had written in to her station to say she needed to drop a few pounds. The reporter, Jennifer Livingston of WKBTTV in LaCrosse, Wisc., said that the letter was bullying her. Not the case. Unless she has other examples of this man, Kenneth Krause, being abusive toward her about her weight, then this was not bullying, which is a repeated action. What this is was someone being (while crude) critical of another. Livingston discredited his remarks as bullying, but credited those who flocked to her side as “inspiring.”
The Tank
Likes editorial To the Valley News: Thank you for the editorial “APA: Use common sense to classify Boreas Ponds”. As the stonemason who built the fireplace in the Main Lodge I too, favor retention of the building and infrastructure. This was a well maintained working forest with a network of roads that could support the heavy trucks and equipment that’s required in forestry. When I went to work there I sometimes used the Gulf Brook Road and sometimes came in to Boreas Ponds From the Tahawus Club. Either trip was about seven miles from pavement and used to require unlocking and relocking two separate gates miles apart. My decades as a stonemason in the Adirondacks have taken me to many very beautiful and some very exclusive places. The lodge at Boreas Ponds is certainly one of the most beautiful locations I’ve seen. The idea of it being less exclusive is appealing to me. I was allowed some artistic license on the job and when I saw the view from the porch on the opposite side of the fireplace I was compelled to build in a bench from which you get a marvelous view of Sawteeth and other high peaks. The view from the top of the chimney is indescribable. What a lovely place! When you wrote about the possibility that “…a disabled veteran who fought for this country will not be afforded the same luxury as was given to the governor.” I thought about those veterans and where we sent them and what they endured and still endure. I really want them to be able to enjoy Boreas Ponds. Kent Gregson Indian Lake
VoiceYourOpinion The Valley News welcomes letters to the editor. Letters can be sent to its offices, 14 Hand Avenue, PO Box 338, Elizabethtown, 12932; or e-mailed to keith@denpubs.com.

Translation: if you do not agree with me you are a bully, and if you do agree with me you are inspiring. What happened to taking the good and the bad, ‘cause when you take them both then you have the facts of life, as the lyricist wrote. She also compared her non-bully with those who would go after one’s race or gender. Wrong again. Race and gender are not something you can choose. You can choose to diet or not to diet. The fact of the matter is that two-thirds of the nation is deemed overweight or obese, myself included, and it is a concern. I wonder if Livingston finds it bullying when the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, goes out campaigning against obesity, especially in children. That stance is against her chosen lifestyle. In the end, Livingston said that she would not react to Krause’s advice of using the next year to be an example by losing weight. You know what, I will then. I have to admit that I do have a head start to this. Over the past summer, I dropped some weight - considerable, actually, and honestly I have gained some of that back. However, with this in the spotlight, I see this as a great time to re-launch my goal and progress. It’ll be fun, but wish me luck. Reach the writer at keith@denpubs.com

Rabid skunk attacks dogs in Keeseville By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com
KEESEVILLE — The Clinton County Health Department has confirmed a skunk that attacked three dogs was infected with rabies. On Oct. 2 the skunk charged through a fenced in pen, attacked three dogs and was then killed by the dogs. Local law enforcement responded to a call from the owner of the dogs and advised the dog owner to have the skunk tested for rabies. Two of the dogs attacked by the skunk had a current rabies vaccination and received a booster. A third dog was unvaccinated. After the skunk was confirmed rabid, the dog’s owners decided to euthanize it. This is the second rabid animal in the southern part of Clinton County in the past year. A raccoon in the town of Black Brook tested positive for terrestrial rabies in September. Tests are currently being done to determine if the skunk had terrestrial rabies. Health Department spokeswoman, Laurie Williams, said terrestrial rabies is a more aggressive type of rabies than the more common strain found in bats. “This is the first time in 15 years we have seen terrestrial rabies in this county, it’s definitely a game changer for us in Clinton County,” William said. “We believe this skunk had terrestrial rabies because of the way he charged through the fencing to get to these dogs.” Williams said the health department wants to get the word out about the importance of vaccinating family pets and educating children to stay away from animals that are acting strangely. The Health Department is currently holding the annual round of fall rabies clinics and an additional clinic will be held at the Keeseville Fire Station on Wednesday, Oct. 10 at 6 p.m. The rabies clinics are free for all Clinton County residents. Essex County residents and pet owners will not be turned away due to the current rabies situation in that part of the county. Donations are accepted. The public is advised to take the following steps to protect against rabies: Report any sick or strange acting wildlife. Clinton County 565-4870. Essex County 873-3500. Vaccinate pets and livestock. New York State law requires that all dogs, cats and ferrets be vaccinated against rabies by 4 months of age. Vaccinating a domestic animal not only provides protection for the animal, but vaccinated pets act as a barrier to keep the rabies virus from spreading between wild animals and people. Vaccination is also recommended for livestock with frequent human contact, such as horses and cows.

New director at North Star Museum shaun@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — The room was hidden away, in the back of a barn in Peru. A small portal granted access into the dark space, a chamber of stone and naked earth about five feet wide and 10 feet long, where people seeking freedom were hidden. The location is one of many along the North Star U n d e rg ro u n d R a i l ro a d Museum’s tour of underg ro u n d r a i l ro a d s i t e s i n Peru and Keeseville. The tour was led by Don Papson, who stepped d o w n a s p re s i d e n t o f t h e museum so he could work on a book about the secret l i f e o f S y d n e y H o w a rd Gay, an active abolitionist during the Civil War. While driving past a farmhouse in Peru, Papson told the story about how the house’s current occup a n t s f o u n d a n i ro n l e g shackle while remodeling. The shackle is now in the museum, and is purposely displayed open. “ Ye s , t h e m u s e u m i s about slavery, but it’s really about freedom,” Papson said. The museum’s tour rolled through Keeseville a n d P e ru a s P a p s o n re counted stories about local abolitionists and the churches that were divided on the issue of slavery. “ T h e p ro b l e m w i t h t h e u n d e rg ro u n d r a i l ro a d i s
that it suggests to people that everything was underground, and it wasn’t,” Papson said. “Underground means secret, but the good thing about that is it keeps interest alive.” But the tour didn’t just focus on keeping the past alive. Papson told a story about a group of abolitionists who stormed a jail in Syracuse to free an imprisoned fugitive slave. Before taking the man to Canada, where he could be free, they brought him to a blacksmith, where two sist e r s b ro k e h i s l e g i ro n s with a hammer and chisel. “I tell that story to emp o w e r c h i l d re n , b e c a u s e t h e re ’ s s l a v e r y t o d a y ” P a p s o n s a i d . “ T h e re ’ s more than 20 million people enslaved in the world today.” The museum’s last tour of the season was Oct. 6, b u t i t s n e w p re s i d e n t , Jacqueline Madison, who took over Oct. 1, is already thinking about the future. Madison was intrigued by the story of the underg ro u n d r a i l ro a d i n t h e North Country and became involved with the museum shortly after it opened. “Now we think of putt i n g o u r v i e w s o u t t h e re and talking about what we b e l i e v e i n , a n d m a rc h i n g a n d re s i s t i n g , b u t t h a t wasn’t the norm in that era of history.” Madison said. “This was a caliber of peo-

In essence, people won’t have to go to the museum, the museum will come to them. Madison also said there a re m a n y m o re s t o r i e s waiting to be told in the region, and that she would like to uncover all of them. “A lot of times we have this negative twist on hist o r y, a n d t h i s i s re a l l y a p o s i t i v e t wi s t o n h i s t o ry, and it’s nice to have that come out,” Madison said. “That’s what history is all a b o u t , t o i m p ro v e w h a t has been done and make c h a n g e s w h e re a p p ro p r i ate.” The North Star Underground Railroad Museum is open by appointment t h ro u g h o u t t h e w i n t e r, and will return to its regular hours of operation on Memorial Day.

Campaign Continued from page 1 The statement — which was issued by email — cited a “serious family medical situation out-ofstate” as the reason but did not elaborate. When contacted by the Enterprise, Catillaz was busy at work and would not talk. When contacted by Denton Publications at press time, campaign manager and Democratic Committee Chairman Chad McCarthy was busy in a meeting and did not
Business Park Continued from page 1 That’s enough to spark debate between the two supervisor candidates this fall — town Councilman Bob Bevilacqua (R) and village of Saranac Lake Trustee Tom Catillaz (D). “It’s been more than 20 years since the town’s business park was established and the Internet became a part of everyday life, and I say, after those two decades, it’s way past time to start marketing the park on the Internet and to at least establish a link to a business park website from the town’s website,” Catillaz said. Moreover, Catillaz said the town should create a stand-alone website for the business park to attract tenants, which would add to the town’s tax roll. Although it’s not been quite 20 years — only 15 — since the business park has been operational, Town Board members were asked at their Sept. 27 meeting why it took this long to create a business plan for the site. Councilman Ron Keough said a business plan wasn’t in place because the town just received Adirondack Park Agency approval for seven lots in June. “How do you have a business plan until you know what you’re going to do?” Keough said. “When we finally saw where the economy was going and looking at the APA, we cut that footprint way down. That had to include buffer zones off the road, trees, a much smaller footprint, so it totally revamped what we could and could not do out there and how we market that.” Even though the town has seven shovel-ready sites, each tenant has to file its own application with the APA. “I’m not sure the Harrietstown Town Board wants to be in the real estate business,“ Keough said. “So if you’re not going to be in the real estate business, and you’re going to have a strategy put forth to develop the park, and you’re going to market the park, you need to have a mechanism in place that manages the sale of that property, each piece that goes.” Board members haven’t had the time to sit down and address these business park issues because they’ve been busy with other town business, Keough said. When are they going to do address those issues? “There are only four human beings at this table,” Keough responded. “We don’t have a village manager. The town operates with the staff, and each of the board members are assigned to committees ... Realistically, what can you do? And if Tom Catillaz thinks he’s going to waltz in here, and in four or five hours a week, sprinkle around with holy water, and make it all blessed and good, multiply the fishes and loaves, he hasn’t a clue what he’s thinking about, none, and he’s deceiving the taxpayers of the town of Harrietstown in my
have time to elaborate until later. “Tom remains confident that he is the right choice for Harrietstown supervisor,” McCarthy said in the statement. “However, his priority must now be his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family." Though active campaigning has ceased, Catillaz will keep his name on the ballot for the Nov. 6 election. Catillaz is currently a trustee on the Saranac Lake Villlage Board. He is running against Harrietstown Councilman Bob Bevilacqua (R). view.” In his campaign rhetoric, Catillaz’s use of the words “we can do better” in regard to the business park, the budget, the airport and other town business has certainly got the board’s attention. So has remarks released as part of his plan for the town business park. “We must first make an unbiased and blunt evaluation of the park as it is and then make business decisions based upon the facts because that is how business decisions should be made and not upon wishes,” Catillaz said, adding that an honest assessment will say that “the park is probably not it the best location as it is 10 miles away from village services and does not have available water and sewer service.” Coverage in the local media during the supervisor ’s campaign has made the Town Board look ineffective and nonproductive, asserted Councilwoman Nichole Meyette. “Unfortunately, what’s being portrayed, in my opinion, is that the town of Harrietstown sits back and doesn’t do anything,” Meyette said. “I’m not going to say it’s lies and it’s false truths or anything, but the correct information isn’t there. The full information isn’t there. The board meetings happen. The work does get done. But to present themselves, or the candidate, as they’re going to come in and fix and make everything better, it’s presenting the board as being ineffective. And it’s not fair and it’s not right.” Councilman Bevilacqua said Harrietstown and many other local governments are trying to develop incubator buildings and sites, and business parks are a “great opportunity” for business development. “Harrietstown has been laying the groundwork, and now with the APA permit approvals just received last spring, the park is well positioned to be marketed effectively,” Bevilacqua said in his position statement on the business park. “We should not waste taxpayer monies on a speculative ‘move-in’ building plan, in the hopes that a manufacturing firm will find it attractive. Rather, we should focus on a regional outlook for business and tourism, and use the business park for locating incubator facilities which match that research.” As far as the business plan for the business park, Deputy Supervisor Barry DeFuria said there aren’t any current plans to draft one. Once budget time and the election season is over, that’s something they could address. “It’s going to get done,” DeFuria said. “When? I can’t tell you, because it’s going to require this board to find a group or some individuals to help us do that. Whether or not we go and hire somebody and spend some money and do it, I don’t know.

keith@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — Physics may be universal, but trying to teach it in a foreign language can be a challenge. That is what Saranac Lake teacher Chris Gosling found out as he spent four months teaching the subject to students not in the Tri-Lakes community, but in Argentina and Chile. “Teaching physics in Spanish was a little challenging at first, but the kids were excited to help anytime I needed it and the professor I worked with really help to prepare me,” Gosling said. “Kids are kids; they want to learn and are excited to meet new people.” Gosling went to the South American countries as part of the Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching Program. “We had to submit a pretty lengthy application and propose a research project,” Gosling said. “There were 18 U.S. teachers that went abroad and 20 international teachers that came to the United States. For me, it was a great fit.” Gosling proposed to research how to bridge the gap between male students and female students when it came to learning physics. “They learn the course differently, and statistics actually show that boys pick it up easier than girls do,” Gosling said. “I wanted to look at reflective writing activities that would help reduce that gap and make picking it up quicker for students.” Gosling also learned about the way classes were taught in the two countries that he went to. “They did not meet as often as we do,” he said. “They would only have class twice a week, but it would be for

He also had the chance to see classrooms that were much different from the one he would return to in Saranac Lake. “There were no Smart Boards, usually just one dirty chalkboard without the chalk,” he said. “The classroom that I went to in Chile was on a mountain and it was very cold. I do not think you would see kids here eager to learn in a freezing classroom 7 a.m. wearing their coats and caps.” Gosling said that the question he
LPHS students learn about the dangers of distracted driving with Jacy Good By Joan O’Leary LPHS senior
LAKE PLACID — High school students had a surprise visitor last Thursday morning, Oct. 4. Jacy Good, the face of Distracted Driving came and spoke with students about her experiences. Her visit was sponsored by a grant received by the Governor ’s Traffic Safety Committee. Jacy always had an activist spirit. She was of the mindset that if she wasn’t part of the solution, she was part of the problem. Jacy took that attitude with her to College. She gained the reputation as someone who would save the world. Jacy graduated Magna Cum laude with a bachelor ’s degree in International Studies in May of 2008. She planned to start with Habitat for Humanity through AmeriCorps. She was ready to take on the world. Here her story changes. She left graduation with her parents, Jay and Jean. As they approached a green light on a relatively busy one-lane highway, an 18 year old man, talking on his cell phone approached the red light at the intersecting road. Unfortunately, he was paying more attention to his cell phone conversation than his driving and failed to notice the red light. As he entered the intersection, a tractor trailer swerved to miss him and hit the Good family’s

When the paramedics arrived, Jacy wasn’t breathing. Luckily, they were able to resuscitate her. At the hospital, Jacy was given about a ten percent chance of surviving the night. She defied the odds and slowly recovered from her numerous injuries. She was released from the hospital four months after the crash. She was horrified to find out that the crash was caused because a driver was on his

cell phone. Jacy became a board member of FocusDriven – Advocates for Cell Free Driving, a network of people whose lives have been permanently altered because of cell phone distracted drivers. For the last two years, Jacy has been in therapy to regain some of her body’s normal function, and she spends copious amounts of time educating the public on the dangers of cell phone use while driving. “The students were enthralled with her story and many said they would make personal changes,” student support counselor Tina Clark said. Clark has already changed her cell phone message to say she might be driving, even though her car features hands free calling. “I didn’t know the science,” Clark said. “When I saw the MRI showing brain activity when you are having a conversation, I realized it is unsafe to talk and drive.” “I thought she was a good model for teenagers who text and drive since she's had the worst of it,” student Shane McNeirny said. “Its different actual seeing someone it effected rather than an article.” “Her story was really moving and I hope that teenagers will understand it enough to make the choice not to text and drive, “ student Carleigh Garrett said. “It only takes a second to end a lifetime,” student Elizabeth Leff added.

was asked the most was about what life was like, both by those in South America and his classes at SLHS. “Everyone down there wanted to know what it was like to live here and my students always ask about what it was like in Argentina,” he said. “It was interesting to talk to the students in Argentina about home because they may know Miami and New York City, but they have no understanding about what the rest of the country is like. I say I am from New York and they immediately think the city.” Gosling said that as things are now almost back to normal, he has been able to take what he learned on his trip and start to apply it in his classroom. “I learned a lot from the teachers down there,” he said. Gosling has taught at Saranac Lake High School for seven years. He also previously taught at Paul Smith’s College.

Noble Memorial Library receives funding for building renovations ESSEX — The Belden Noble Memorial Library has been awarded a grant of $2,475 from the Essex Community Fund at the Adirondack Community Trust. The grant was funded in part by the Colin Fink Historic Project Fund and the Charlie Goff Memorial Fund. The library will use the grant to support its project to improve the façade of its building. “This project has three main objectives: to make the library entrance easily accessible, to improve energy efficiency, and to enhance the appearance of the front of our building,â€? librarian Tom Mangano said. The grant has enabled our library to purchase materials for the project, which will be completed as soon as possible. The façade project has become a priority now that library automation has been achieved. In
August, the library became automated, giving its patrons electronic access to the full catalog of the Clinton-Essex-Franklin library system. The library is also making extensive use of its email distribution list and website to keep patrons aware of library news. Near-term plans call for expansion of services for children and young adults and for expansion of community programs. The Belden Noble Memorial library was founded in 1899 and provides library services to the town of Essex. Sandy Vance is the president of the nine-member library board. The Essex Community Fund is a component fund of the Adirondack Community Trust (ACT), a community foundation working to build permanent and pass-through funds to help meet current and future charitable needs of

stained counter surface with one made from the latest generation of premium laminate. The latest additions to the popular Wilsonart(R)HD(R) High Definition(R) design series reflect new interest in natural, classic and tumbled marble, limestone and travertine. The good news is this fashionable look is available without the high cost of stone or the constant maintenance those stones require. These lighter, less patterned laminate designs are perfect for today’s hectic lifestyle. In fact, the new costefficient countertop can be installed within a few hours and without disrupting family life. They also give an existing kitchen the promise of a whole new look that’s universally appealing. That equals a big change for small change. All of these new designs are available in a new surface effect of a lower matte-gloss sheen that seems almost glazed. The “Glaze� texture is actually a layering of matte features over a glaze of semigloss. This creates a timeworn result that is less reflective and more restrained. It’s a perfect balance for the sophisticated dramatic materials that are part of today’s kitchen: stainless steel, chrome, copper, and even glass. Wilsonart patterns benefit from AEON Enhanced Performance technology. AEON brings four times the scuff and scratch-resistance of conventional laminate, as well as five times the wear resistance to the surface. Unlike granite, the surfaces of these new laminates are non-porous and never need to be sealed.

Prevention Team hosts teen relationship event at county fairgrounds By Keith Lobdell
The Prevention Team of Essex County held a day of workshops on relationships and peer interaction Oct. 4 at the fairgrounds, with CVES Risk Management Specialist Jeff Sisson leading a discussion on bullying. “The biggest thing we wanted to do is define what bullying is so we can look at the issue with that understanding,� Sisson, who also gave the opening address to students, said. “One of the biggest challenges when dealing with bullying

is that people throw the word out all of the time and we need to start using the word appropriately.� Sisson said that the key factor in bullying is the repeated nature of the action used by the bully to cause harm — mental or physical — to their victim. Sisson also explained that looking at just the bully or the victim will not fully solve the problem. “We need to focus on the bystanders as well,� he said. “That is huge because you cannot change a culture by just focusing on the two people that may be directly involved in the act of bullying. It’s everybody in the school that is part of this. When you have everyone in the district working together, that is the key.� Prevention educator Angie MacAlpine said the event was held to allow students the chance to talk about relationships in a less formal setting. “They do not have that time to talk about relationships at school,� MacAlpine said. “They get a chance to talk about how they see each other being treated not only in school but throughout the community.� MacAlpine said that the students were also allowed to be open about topics that they may not otherwise talk about in a school setting. “Sometimes you need to be able to have that time where they can talk and we can not just hear but listen to what they are saying,� she said.

WESTPORT — Although the community outreach efforts provided by Project Hope are coming to an end as planned, a wide range of recovery services remain in place for residents of Clinton and Essex Counties affected by Tropical Storm Irene. “Our role in the recovery is coming to a close, but the recovery itself continues for some in our communities,� said Project Hope Program Coordinator Gretch Sando. “Services remain available for the people who find they still have disaster-related needs through what we call a ‘continuity of concern.’� This continuity encompasses services provided by a number of nonprofit agencies in the area. The new Disaster Case Management (DCM) program, operating out of Plattsburgh under the auspices of Catholic Charities, the United Way, and the Mental Health Association in Essex County, Inc., of Westport, which administers Project Hope locally, are just a few of the agencies that will be part of the continuing recovery efforts. Project Hope, which has been out in the field in Clinton and Essex Counties since November, was established to assist residents and communities across 13 New York State counties that received presidential declarations of disaster in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene. Through door-to-door canvassing, community networking, and public presentations, Project Hope Crisis Counselors have, as of the end of August, logged more than 39,000 miles in the North Country and served more than 2,000 of the residents affected by Irene—providing such services as emotional, educational, and informational support; assessment and referral; resource linkage; and public education, all free of charge. With the program slated to close by the end of October, the local Project Hope team is now focused on ensuring a smooth transition of services to such entities as Catholic Charities DCM and the Long-Term Recovery Group (LTRG), established by the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. Disaster Case Managers will be working directly with the LTRG to provide assistance to residents with unmet needs related to Tropical Storm Irene. Catholic Charities DCM can be contacted at 61-0470; the United Way can be reached by dialing the 211 helpline or calling 5630028.

The scale of change
N
October 13, 2012
www.thevalleynews.org
othing in nature remains static for very long, and this time of year the most obvious example of this is the gradual emergence of fall foliage. Autumn is the ultimate seasonal segue, a bridge between extremes, and it is upon us. Everything in the forest is preparing for the big freeze, which has already started to descend upon areas in the Adirondacks and will soon be working its way into the Champlain Valley. The onset of winter, the result of the tilt of the Earth and its position in orbit, is a major change indeed, and the bold pallette of colors accenting our mountains and valleys is a local response to that planetary positioning. In the fall, as plants stop making chlorophyll, the pigment that gives leaves their green color and enables them to perform photosynthesis, other pigments begin to emerge. In trees like birches, elms and poplars, those pigments are called carotene and xanthophyll, and they are responsible for autumn yellows and oranges. Red autumn leaves, commonly found on maples, staghorn sumacs and red-osier dogwoods, are the result of anthocyanins. These pigments are produced in the leaf cells and cause leaves to turn bright red if the cell sap is acidic and purple if the cell sap is alkaline. When red and yellow pigments are both present, the leaves appear orange, as is oftentimes seen on maple leaves. Yes, the smell of dying deciduous leaves means change is in the air, but in the mountains, change is always in the air, and in some places its mark is literally etched into the mountainsides. Last August, Tropical Storm Irene wreaked havoc on the region, and reminded us of just how fast change can occur here, and how intense that change can be. After the flood
waters subsided and towns and villages began rebuilding, it was estimated that about 28 new landslides had ripped paths into the High Peaks. Residents of Keene and Keene Valley later described that terrifying night—the constant sound of pouring rain did little to muffle the noise of boulders, breaking trees and earth as it crashed thousands of feet into the valleys below, damming up waterways and exposing acres of bedrock in its wake. From the top of Big Slide mountain there is a panorama containing a few of the new slide tracks along the Upper Great Range. They are easy to spot because they are bright white instead of the dark gray of their older neighbors. Other mountains also bear scars from Irene. Leaving the Adirondack Loj, there is a slide just before Avalanche Pass whose base is easily approachable, and the cascade waterfall on Cascade Mountain, which was previously hidden by vegetation, can now be clearly seen from Rt. 73, just south of Lake Placid, as a result of a landslide on that mountain. The landscape’s new look has given a that-wasn’t-therebefore edge to some of this year ’s hikes, but it has also provided a reality check. The fall foliage, that gentle and predictable seasonal change, provides the starkest contrast against the evidence of an event whose force stripped the landscape of an overwhelming volume of vegetation and boulders and soil without warning last year. There is something here to be said about respect and humility, and perhaps a question as to why anyone would want to live in such a place. The truth is, it’s hard to turn your back on something you love. Sometimes change can be devastating, but, as autumn reminds us, it can also be good. Shaun Kittle is a reporter at Denton Publications and an avid outdoor enthusiast. He can be reached at shaun@denpubs.com.
