New health care agreement in North Country envisioned to enhance lives

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — The United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. has announced it will begin serving Franklin County.

The announcement was made in a press release from the nonprofit organization Oct. 19.

“This change will give our United Way a regional scope, which we think makes a lot of sense for our friends and neighbors throughout the North Country,” stated the organization's executive director, John C. Bernardi.

In September, United Way Worldwide requested the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties include Franklin County in its service area, a request which the board of directors ultimately decided to honor.

Karen Carre, board president of the former United Way of Franklin County, is supportive of the change.

QUEENSBURY — While the nation’s leaders were sparring in Washington D.C. about ways to fix the ailing national health care system, dozens of state and local officials, upstate health care providers and community leaders gathered at the Warren County Courthouse to officially launch a new approach they said might help solve aspects of the crisis.

Hailed as a landmark venture, the Adirondack Regional Medical Home Pilot initiative is intended to enhance the efficiency and quality of care while boosting reimbursement of North County doctors to shore up their practices’ dwindling finances.

With five major insurance providers now joining the state in agreeing to increase reimbursement rates to doctors, the physicians and clinics are in turn working to put more emphasis on primary and preventive care, boost follow-up medical care and management of chronic diseases, increase coordination between specialists, hike computerization of medical records, and issue Internet-based prescriptions.

The agreement encompasses 40 medical practices and about 125 physicians, CVPH Medical Center of Plattsburgh, Elizabethtown Community Hospital, Adirondack Medical Center,

Lake Champlain Bridge officially closed DOT suggests 100-mile detour

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — State officials are promising to open the Lake Champlain Bridge as soon as possible, but local commuters are demanding to know when that will happen.

“Frantic calls to DOT produced a cheery voice offering to give detour directions,” Barbara Brassard, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce executive director, said. “What they didn’t mention is that these detours were around two hours long.

“The enormous impact on the Lake Champlain region is obvious,” she said. “What is New York State doing? Nothing!”

Todd Hoffman, New York State Department of Transportation regional structural engineer, disagreed. He said engineers are studying the bridge and formulating a plan to repair and re-open it. That plan should be in place in about two weeks.

“We’re not going to rush just to get the bridge open,” he said. “We’re going to work diligently to make the bridge as safe as possible. Safety is our top priority.”

The bridge, which serves about 4,000 vehicles a day, links New York and Vermont. It was closed Oct. 16 when an inspection found as much as 30 percent of its concrete piers had disintegrated.

“We were afraid the bridge could fail abruptly,” Hoffman said.

The bridge is jointly owned by the states of New York and Vermont, although New York DOT is responsible for its maintenance.

“It’s important to remember safety is our highest concern,” John Zicconi, Vermont Department of Transportation spokesman, said. “We realize the inconvenience this poses to many people, but we can’t risk lives for the sake of convenience.”

The bridge, built in 1929, has been the site of repair

Lake Champlain Bridge Closure Official Detour Route

CROWN POINT — State legislators and town supervisors are calling for the construction of a temporary pontoon bridge across Lake Champlain and a Gubernatorial emergency declaration following the Oct. 16 closure of the Crown Point Bridge.

But state officials remain non-committal.

The Crown Point Bridge – which allows 4,000 cars a day to travel between New York and Vermont – was closed last Friday after state Department of Transportation officials discovered inclined cracks in the supporting piers.

Town supervisors and state legislators have labeled the bridge closure an emergency that threatens the local economy. Officials say hundreds face job loss if a solution is not found.

For state Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, only one course of action will salvage the economies of the surrounding communities, but the state may have other ideas in mind.

“I can tell you what we think the solution is,” Sayward said. “That’s a temporary bridge.”

Following a closed-door meeting with officials from numerous state agencies Monday, state Senator Betty Little said that she is currently imploring Governor David Paterson to declare Essex County in a state of emergency.

But getting that designation has proven tricky.

“They are looking at what the impact is.

They don’t need an emergency declaration to repair the current bridge,” Little said. “They are waiting to see the impact and we have

Environmental groups blast Paterson’s raid on funds

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — Environmental groups are fuming over Governor David Paterson’s deficit-reduction plan, which aims to use funds earmarked for energy efficiency and environmental programs to close the state’s budget gap.

Paterson aims to sweep $90 million raised through the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative into the state’s general fund. The initiative consists of 10-states that charge power plants for emissions of carbon dioxide.

The proceeds from the program are supposed to be used for energy efficiency and sustainable energy programs.

And the raids on environmental funds don’t end there. Paterson also wants to dip into the Environmental Protection Fund to the tune of $10 million. That fund provides monies for projects like municipal landfill closure, water treatment plants and Forest Preserve land acquisition.

John Sheehan is a spokesman for the Adirondack Council, a not-for-profit environmental group based in upstate New York.

He says enviro groups are disappointed that Paterson is raiding these funds before the money can be used for its intended purpose.

“This was supposed to be money that was collected during the auction of carbon allowances to power plants and then these revenues were going to go into a fund to help develop cleaner energy, energy conservation programs and green jobs,” Sheehan said.

“And the whole idea here was to stimulate the economy while also improving the environment and improving public health.”

Sheehan says Paterson’s raid on the money is illogical, because the funds were meant to save costs in the long term.

“Cutting this money makes absolutely no sense whatsoever,” he said. “This is money that will save us money down the road by helping to wean us off of a very expensive fossil fuel system that is essentially bankrupting us by keeping us at the mercy of foreign oil producers.”

These raids on environmental protection funds shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. Last November, Paterson grabbed $50 million from the same fund.

Sheehan estimates that since 2003, the state has siphoned $500 million from the Environmental Protection Fund. And in every instance, the money was used for non-environmental purposes.

“Why this has become his favorite piggy bank to smash and take all the money from is beyond us, other than the environmental community has not stood up and spoken out against it,” he said. “And the folks who are also benefiting on the local level haven’t expressed their disappointment with the state at having essentially reneged on their word when the passed the budget back on April 1.”

Legislators are expected to hold statewide public hearings this week to discuss Paterson’s proposed cuts. Sheehan hopes that hearings will be slated in the Adirondacks so residents can speak out against the cuts.

In many cases, the funds would have helped municipalities pay for mandated landfill closures and the creation of recycling centers.

Sheehan says it’s the state’s responsibility to help fund mandated projects for towns and villages that don’t have the excess revenue to afford them otherwise.

“Frankly, the state’s obligation is to help the smaller, less wealthy communities deal with mandates like this,” Sheehan said.

“We’re very much in favor of seeing this money spent in the Adirondacks because it not only helps the environment, but it takes pressure off local governments to come up with money for projects that are very unaffordable in communities of two and three thousand people.”

Before Paterson’s raid of environmental protection funds, the governor also announced mid-year budget reductions throughout the state. The Adirondack Park Agency and the state Department of Environmental Conservation both suffered setbacks due to those cuts.

Recipes for literacy

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — Those looking to spice up their culinary repertoire can try some time-tested recipes while helping a local nonprofit.

The Literacy Volunteers of Essex and Franklin Counties has just released their latest cookbook, entitled Country Cookin’, the latest fundraiser for the all-volunteer languageassistance organization.

“Everyone that has seen it has been im- Literacy Volunteers of Essex and pressed with the recipes,” Franklin Counties is currently said Literacy Volunteers selling “Country Cookin’,” a comboard member Cheryl plete cookbook compiled as a Schiller, who served as fundraiser for the organization. chairperson for organiz- The book is priced at $10.50. ing the cookbook.

“We had one about four years ago, and it sold out very quickly,” said Chuck Gibson, director for Literacy Volunteers. With recent cuts in state funding, the organization decided to give the fundraising idea another try.

Country Cookin’ includes 233 new recipes submitted by more than 90 tutors, students, donors, and supporters of Literacy Volunteers, many of whom hail from the North Country.

The cookbook covers a wide variety of time-tested recipes, including soups, salads, main dishes, breads, vegetables, hors d’oeurves, and plenty of desserts.

“What I like about the recipes is people picked out an old family favorite or comfort food that they know people can make and it will come out right,” Schiller said.

“With the economy doing so badly I think many people are trying to save a few dollars by eating at home, and not going out to restaurants as often,” said Schiller. “A cookbook offers some new recipes for those who like to experiment with new and interesting meals.”

Not only is the book practical, but its recipes hold special meaning as part of Literacy Volunteers’ mission.

“It’s one of the basics in our tutoring program,” Schiller explained, “To be able to read a recipe and follow directions is a very important skill for people.”

Several meal ideas submitted by former Literacy Volunteers students attest to the organization’s commitment toward promoting literacy among adults with limited language skills, many of whom learn English as a second language.

“They’re the most enjoyable to read because they’re done so well,” said Schiller. “You would have never known that they were a student.”

More than 450 copies of the book have been printed and are available for $10.50 each at Literacy Volunteers’ Saranac Lake, Malone, and Mineville offices. Copies can also be delivered by mail with an added fee of $3 per book. Call 5463008 for more information.

1910 tough for A Running Joke children in America I

W

hile some of us wax nostalgic now and then, I don’t think anyone wants to return to the conditions that existed at the turn of the century.

In 1910, the U.S. population was 92.4 million; currently, it’s more than 303.8 million. The average woman in 1910 lived to the ripe old age of 51.8 years of age and men 48.4. Is it any wonder

By Scot Hurlburt that people frequently married young? The average woman now lives to 80.1 years of age and men 74.8 years of age.

The average salary in 1910 was $750 a year; now the average annual income for Americans is $34,140. A twelve day vacation cruise cost $60; a similar cruise today, about $2,200. A gallon of milk cost 32 cents; now the average cost is over $3. Henry Ford’s Model T cost $345 in 1914; the cost of a car now: just under $17,000. The divorce rate in 1910 was 1 in 1000, now, 4.95 in 1000.

Disease was rampant. Typhus and tuberculosis were a serious threat to many Americans. Many women and children perished during childbirth. Most children were birthed at home as opposed to hospitals.

In 1910, 60 percent of the population lived in a town of fewer than 2500 or less. There was no income tax, no social security, no unemployment insurance and no public housing for the elderly or the handicapped. About 33 percent of Americans were farmers or farm laborers. Today, that figure has fallen to just two percent.

The average work week in 1910 included six, twelve hour days. Only Sunday was reserved for worship and rest. There were few unions and working conditions in most factories were deplorable and decidedly unsafe.

Most factories and mines employed children at paltry wages in especially dangerous jobs. The phrase “grease monkey” described the job of climbing high above open running machinery to grease the open bearings of the day.

Young children, adept at climbing were often employed in that capacity. Many became victims that were literally consumed by factory machinery below when they fell.

It took many years to pass a minimum age law as powerful businessmen like J.P. Morgan and others fought to keep children working in factories. A few states passed child labor laws that reduced the twelve hour day to ten hours a day. Few states enforced the laws and many children labored next to their largely poor, immigrant parents.

As children worked in factories and on farms, they were removed from the possibility of educating themselves and the opportunity to get out of poverty. While some children are still working in unsafe conditions, it is largely seen on the west coast and south where illegal migrant workers harvest vegetable crops. Mandatory school attendance removes most children from labor exploitation.

When I am feeling especially discouraged I remind myself that things could be and were, considerably worse in our collective past. Remember all kids count.

moving in slow motion while I continue to move at normal speed. I feel, in other words, like I’ve entered the Matrix and I’m the One; capable of manipulating reality however I see fit. This phenomenon allows me to dodge bullets and dart through traffic and stare into space with dull-eyed blandness more deftly than usual. But, still, delusions of god-like grandeur don’t make it all right to look down on non-runners.

Rather, the tediousness and pain and humiliation that go along with running are what make it all right to look down on non-runners. Take, for instance, the day last month when I took what we in the spill-taking business call “a spill.” I was running up Saranac Lake’s Winona Avenue hill when I tripped over a loose chunk of concrete and, screaming, tumbled forward like a drunken gymnast, skidding across the sidewalk on my hands and knees.

Although I lost several layers of skin and gained a considerable amount of pain, I didn’t care about any of that.

As I leapt to my feet, looking around frantically, I only cared whether there were any witnesses. When I didn’t spot anybody pointing and/or laughing at me, I resumed running as if nothing had happened, ignoring the blood coating my palms and coursing down my legs, just in case any snoops were watching from their windows.

If I had spotted anybody pointing and/or laughing, I would have joined them, shrugging and smiling and shaking my head as if to say, “Looks like I did it again!” and generally making light of my disfiguring injuries in order to reduce the situation’s humiliation quotient. Indeed, I’ve fallen in front of witnesses many a time during my years as a runner, and I’ve learned that joining in the mirth is the only way to escape with my dignity intact. But you die a little inside every time you’re forced to see yourself as a Keanu Reeves type (i.e., a joke) rather than a Neo type (i.e., mankind’s blank-eyed savior).

So I guess the lesson here is twofold: if you’re an accident-prone runner, consider running in secluded locations (such as forest preserves), and if you’re a non-runner who sees a runner take a tumble, point and laugh for all you’re worth. The smug son-of-a-gun almost certainly deserves it.

The perfect time to plant your garlic bulbs

I

f you are a vegetable gardener, this is typically the time of the year you are taking plants out of the garden, not planting. But, this weekend I plan on being out in the garden planting. Yes, you read correctly. Now is the time to plant on of my favorite crops — garlic.

Garlic is an “allium,” which means it is in the same family as onions and leeks. Garlic is originally from Asia where it has been cultivated for thousands of years.

Since garlic does not produce seed, it is propagated by planting individual garlic cloves from the bulb. And, planting garlic is pretty simple. First, purchase a hardneck variety, since these are better adapted to our colder climate than the softneck garlics. When shopping for garlic, avoid getting your garlic from the grocery store as most of these have been treated with a growth inhibitor to prevent sprouting during storage.

To get the largest bulb possible, plant your garlic in the fall about two weeks after the first killing frost. Garlic likes to grow in loose soil, so cultivate the soil prior to planting.

Plant each individual clove so that 2-3 inches of soil covers the base of the clove. Plant each clove a few inches apart and in rows about six inches apart.

After planting your garlic, mulch heavily with either 4-6 inches of straw or chopped leaves. This prevents damage

from fluctuations in soil temperatures. Later, in the spring when the temperatures stop dropping dramatically at night, you can pull the mulch away from the bulbs and into the rows where it will suppress weeds.

During the growing season make sure you plants do not dry out. Garlic has a shallow root system and is susceptible to drought. When the garlic sends up its flower stalk, or scape, cut it off and enjoy this once a season treat. They are great as a pesto, stir-fry, or grilled.

When about half of the leaves are browned next June or July, dig up your garlic, allow it to dry, and enjoy!

Couponing's Best-Kept Secrets: Learn When Less is More

letters that they are the better buy!

A few examples will help you understand why this works. A certain brand of aluminum foil is on sale at my local store. The 70-square-foot box is $3.79 and the 20square-foot box is 99 cents. With a coupon that states "$1 off any aluminum foil," I have my choice as to which size box I'd like, the larger or the smaller. While my dollar coupon will, indeed, give me a discount on the larger box, the smaller box will be free. And I prefer free any day.

The rule of thumb that it's better to buy the smaller size especially holds true when we stack a store's coupon and manufacturer's coupon. With the two coupons, we receive an even larger discount on an item. For example, baby wipes are on sale at my store this week. The plastic tub contains 77 wipes and it's on sale for $2.99. The "valuepack" of baby wipe refills contains 231 wipes and it's on sale for $5.99. My store offers a $1.50 store coupon good on any size of the wipes. I also have a $1 manufacturer coupon for the wipes. Stacking these coupons gives me $2.50 in savings on either size item. With the coupons, the plastic tub with 77 wipes will cost just 49 cents. The "value-pack" refill will cost me $3.49 using the same coupons.

The "value-pack" contains three 77-count wipe packages; that works out to about $1.16 for each 77-wipe package. I'd spend more than twice as much on baby wipes if I purchased the larger, so-called "money-saving" size.

An even easier example involves coupons for items that come in a trial or travel size. A $1 coupon good for any size deodorant will certainly give you a discount on a fullsize deodorant. But a 99-cent travel size will be free using the coupon. Again, any time a coupon states that it will work on any size of a product, remember that the trial and travel sizes are included. Free always makes better financial "cents" than spending more than we have to!

T

his week's SuperCouponing secret may surprise you because it goes against just about everything shoppers believe about saving money and shopping. Are you ready for a head-scratcher?

Secret #5: Smaller-Size Items are Often a Better Value Yes, you read that right.

Buying the smaller size of a product, with coupons, is often a better deal than buyBy Jill Cataldo ing a larger size of the same item. When I teach my coupon classes, this statement is almost always met with disbelief. I completely understand why, because it runs contrary to just about everything shoppers believe. To get the lowest price, we are very conditioned to buy the largest size of something - the "family size" cereals, the "value-pack" of refills or just the largest package we can find. It does seem that you'll need to buy that item less often if you buy a larger size - but you're also likely to spend much more than you need to.

When we have a fairly high-value coupon, applying it to the relatively lower price of a smaller-sized item will often result in a significantly lower per-ounce cost. I know that this surprises many people. It surprised me, too, as I became a more experienced shopper. Over time, I noticed that many of the items I was able to bring home for free or for pennies were usually in smaller-sized packages than their so-called "value" or larger counterparts. Adding to the confusion, the larger packages often tout in big, bold

But unlike the scads of runners who endlessly extol the joys of the “runner ’s high,” smugly insisting that non-runners haven’t really lived until they’ve experienced the endorphine rush that follows a grueling hill workout in 90-degree heat, I don’t feel the need to proselytize.

Don’t get me wrong; I consider myself superior to nonrunners, and I certainly believe that non-runners live empty, meaningless lives. I just don’t want to encourage them to change their ways. I enjoy feeling superior to a huge swath of the population. I enjoy imagining that my life has more meaning than other people’s, and I have no desire to dilute that feeling by recruiting new runners.

I’ll freely admit that there’s no justification (or even excuse) for my reprehensible attitude. I mean, who do I think I am, trying to keep others down in order to build myself up? I’ll tell you who I think I am: Neo (played with dulleyed blandness by “actor” Keanu Reeves) from “The Matrix.”

Of course, I don’t actually think I’m Neo from “The Matrix.” What I mean is that when the mythical “runner ’s high” overtakes on me, I feel as though the world begins

Franklin Avenue house destroyed by fire

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — An early morning blaze completely destroyed the now infamous residence at 55 Franklin Avenue in the village of Saranac Lake.

Emergency vehicles clogged the road ways from Nona Fina to the Prescott House in the early morning hours Oct. 17, and drearyeyed spectators lined the streets to watch the blaze.

Jeff Carmichael is a sergeant for the Saranac Lake Village Police Department.

He said in an Oct. 17 interview that the fire most likely started sometime after 5 a.m.

“We don’t have an exact time yet,” he said. “But we were here by 5:30.”

By noon, the only parts of the structure still standing were the front right corner, half of the chimney and parts of the wall facing Lake Flower.

The house has been in the news on a regular basis since

early September, when a neighbor dispute led to the stabbing of a dog. Then, some residents of the house were arrested for a series of vehicle break-ins. Most recently, a resident was taken into custody for firing an air rifle within village limits.

Additionally, mountains of trash spilling outside of the building’s dumpster led to action by the village board to have the garbage removed.

The house was being foreclosed on, and Sergeant Carmichael said no tenants occupied the building at the time of the blaze.

“To the best of our knowledge, all of the occupants had moved from the building,” he said.

But according to one caller on WNBZ’s Talk of the Town, Christy Lavair still had belongings in the building, all of which were lost in the blaze.

Carmichael said the fire is under full investigation.

Jim and Linda Pearson live down the street from 55 Franklin Ave. They said the commotion and the flames

Rubble made up most of what was left of the house at 55 Franklin Ave. in Saranac Lake after an early morning fire Oct. 17. The house, which has been the site of numerous violations in the past two months, was vacant at the time of the fire.

woke them up around 5:30 a.m.

“The flames were almost to the top of the tree line,” Jim Pearson said. “Thank God there wasn’t any wind and the fire didn’t spread.”

Steve MacNerland owns the building adjacent to the blaze. He said parts of the attic over the apartment closest

to the fire were damaged.

One firefighter suffered minor injuries during the fire. A dozen members of the Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department were on scene, and were assisted by crews from the Bloomingdale, Paul Smiths-Gabriels and Lake Placid volunteer fire departments.

Summit From page 1 Trudeau Health System, Inter-Lakes Health, and Smith House Health Care Center, as well as Hudson Headwaters Health Network's 11 health centers.

The outcome? The health care providers, insurers, politicians and community leaders gathered Tuesday said they envision that the initiative will boost public health, reduce hospitalizations and enhance citizens’ quality of life, while lowering health care costs.

Stephen Acquario, Executive Director of the New York state Association of Counties, said the Medical Home Pilot was believed to be the first of its type in the nation.

“Due to the joint effort of private insurers, health care providers and Gov. Paterson and Commissioner Daines, we’ve been launched front and center in the national health care debate,” he said. “Those in power in Washington D.C. ought to take note of what we are accomplishing.”

State Health Commissioner Richard Daines also praised the initiative for its innovation.

“It’s a marvelous example of teamwork,” he said. “Here in the North Country, you’re providing a bright light showing where health care can go in the future.”

Daines said that insurance companies and providers need to stop putting so much resources into competing for market share, and look toward cooperation instead.

“The Adirondack Medical Home Pilot provides the opportunity to demonstrate that something much larger can be accomplished when you bring all payers together with physicians and hospitals, and tie them together with new information technology, new systems of payment and incentives,” he said. “This may be the wave of the future.”

CVPH Medical Center president Stephens Mundy, one of the founders of the initiative, agreed with Daines.

This is a tremendous example of collaboration — it feels wonderful to be ahead of the curve rather than behind, as rural areas often are.

Robin Pierce, Director of Smith House in Willsboro, also expressed enthusiasm for the landmark agreement, “This provides a great opportunity to help our patients get access top care and promote wellness,” she said. “Our whole concept is enhancing quality of care — and prevention.”

For about a decade, doctors have been fleeing rural areas, and primary-care physicians have been giving up their practices, because metropolitan practices and specialties, respective, are far more rewarding financially, Hudson Headwaters CEO Dr. John Rugge and others said.

Far fewer new physicians are choosing primary care and rural areas due to the lower pay and the burdensome costs of their education, Daines agreed.

Rugge praised Daines and Paterson for their support of the Adirondack Medical Home Initiative, by contributing $10 million to launch it, as well as engineering legislation to help participating organizations sidestep anti-trust laws in their collaboration.

Five private insurers have agreed to the new reimbursement schedule, which pays doctors an additional $7 per patient per month, which totals up to $40 million over the next five years.

This extra money will help pay for practices alerting patients when they need checkups and follow-up visits, and boost tracking of patients, and other vital actions that are not traditionally reimbursed.

But two major private insurers, he said — Excellus Health Plans and Blue Shield of Northeastern New York — are not participating at this point, Rugge said.

The Hudson Headwaters Board of Directors has voted to terminate relationships with payers not agreeing to the new deal. On Oct. 22, the board is likely to terminate its insurance contracts with Excellus and Blue Shield, Rugge said.

He urged that Adirondackers to sign up only with participating insurers.

“Employers and employees need to find insurance companies that support us in supporting you,” he said. “We need everyone in on this —what’s at stake is the future of health care in our small towns in the Adirondacks.”

Bridge Closed

From page 1

seen that. A woman who needed chemo waited three hours for the ferry.”

On Monday morning, the Essex County Board of Supervisors unanimously endorsed a resolution urging the governors of both states to declare the bridge closing an emergency.

Supervisors repeatedly hammered the state for years of inaction as the bridge deteriorated, while continually reiterating the importance the bridge plays in the lives of local residents.

According to Essex County Transportation Coordinator Nancy Dougal, between 1,000 and 1,500 Essex County residents are employed in Vermont and cross the bridge daily.

At present, local residents who must cross for work or access to one of the Burlington area hospitals must use one of the two ferries. And since the bridge closure, waiting for hours to get on a ferry has become common.

Officials said that an emergency declaration would clear much of the red-tape surrounding historic preservation issues at or near the site.

In a bizarre twist, the Crown Point Bridge was officially declared a state Historic Site Monday.

According to State Emergency Management Office Director John Gibb, the focus is on fixing the old bridge and an emergency declaration wouldn’t expedite that process at all.

“The governor is prepared to declare a state disaster emergency is that’s going to be needed to speed things along,” Gibb said. “But right now, as for the state DOT, that doesn’t quicken the work they are doing right now.”

Officials noted that an emergency declaration would instead significantly reduce the red tape surrounding the construction of a new bridge and the state is not yet committed to that direction.

Gibb said that all state agencies are attempting to find the best solution to the bridge closure, but that rushing into an action like building a temporary floating bridge requires significant analysis.

“I am not a temporary bridge expert, but I can tell you that our structures people at DOT are looking at the viability and the alternatives associated with temporary bridges,” Gibb said.

Sayward noted that using either of the ferries would result in a cost of between $230 and $500 a month.

And their claims aren’t without merit.

Cindy Bodette is a Crown Point restaurant owner. She said she has seen her business drop over 40 percent since the bridge closed and that’s not even the worst of it as her daughter and son-in-law work in Vermont and rely on the bridge to get and from work each day.

work since mid-summer. Plans are being made to replace the bridge in 2013.

Hoffman explained that low water allowed crews making repairs on the bridge to inspect concrete piers Oct. 16. They immediately alerted DOT officials of deteriorating conditions.

A signed detour now diverts motorists on U. S. Route 4 through Whitehall and on Vermont Routes 22A and 17, a distance of about 100 miles. Motorist can also use ferries in Ticonderoga and Essex, N.Y., although they have limited capacity and charge a fee.

Supervisors Dale French of Crown Point, Tom Scozzafava of Moriah and Bob Dedrick of Ticonderoga were all at the bridge Oct. 16 along with state Sen. Betty Little. All expressed disappointment the NYS DOT had allowed the bridge to reach this point.

“I’ve been saying it’s unsafe for three years,” French said.

“No on would listen. Now we have an emergency.”

Essex County has declared a state of emergency and the county board has asked the state to do the same. It’s hoped the declarations will make federal emergency funds available for bridge repairs.

“A lot of people have built their lives around this bridge,” Scozzafava said. “They live here because they have access to work, stores and health care across the bridge. Now, they don’t.”

Dedrick said the bridge closing will have a serious economic impact. He noted many people use the bridge to reach work and others to shop.

“People don’t realize the financial impact this will have,” Dedrick said. “Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, International Paper — every business will be affected.”

Little promised quick action by the state.

“If what the inspectors say is true about the condition of the bridge, a big tragedy may have been averted,” the senator said.

“Transportation officials told me the bridge needs to be shut down given the severe deterioration of two piers that were able to be inspected because the water level dropped.

“We need a plan to address this problem very quickly,” Little said. “I was told that the piers can be repaired, but was not provided a timeline as to when it will happen. I will push for an answer.”

Gov. David Paterson released a statement also calling for quick action.

“This emergency closure was necessary for the safety of those who use the bridge, and the action could not be delayed,” he said. “I want to assure North Country residents that we are working as quickly as possible to re-open the bridge, as it is a critical passageway to and from Vermont.

“However, we will not in any way jeopardize the safety of those who use the bridge,” Paterson said, “and the structural problems must be resolved to ensure that safety.”

Todd Hoffman, left, New York State Department of Transportation regional structural engineer, and John Zicconi, Vermont Department of Transportation spokesman, address the media after closing the Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point.

“She waited for an hour and a half for that ferry and that is not acceptable,” she said. “She only makes $13 an hour anyway, she can’t afford the ferry and her husband does shift work in Vermont and he doesn’t get out until midnight. The ferry doesn’t run at midnight.”

Gibb indicated that it would likely take several months before a permanent or temporary solution is reached.

Until then the businesses and residents who rely on the Crown Point Bridge for work or medical appointments will have to grin and bare it.

Readers Poll How concerned are you about the indefinite closing of the Crown Point bridge?

Doesn't bother me I'm sure it will affect me, but just indirectly I'm worried about what could happen in an emergency.

It will have a major impact on my daily life

United Way From page 1 are very generous and a regional approach to the United Way system will be more sustainable,” stated Carre. “Our organization will undergo a corporate name change and reemerge as ‘The Good Neighbor,’ allowing for the continuation of collaborative efforts to improve the quality of life in our region. We anticipate working closely with United Way and other programs and organizations across the North Country.”

Officials and volunteers from the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties are currently developing strategies to expand into Franklin County and to bring the three counties together through a United Way network of programs, services and partnerships.

Bernardi said the North Country 2-1-1 information and referral system is an excellent example of this and his steering committee is comprised of representatives from throughout the region.

“Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties make up a natural region and we are connected in so many ways as friends, neighbors and partners,” he stated. “Our United Way will con-

tinue to be a great vehicle for bringing people together for the overall benefit of the North Country community.”

United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties has 33 partner agencies including several that already serve Franklin County. The health and human service organizations receive United Way funding to provide specific services based on community needs and their ability to achieve effective outcomes. The organization also coordinates a wide variety of programs including, 2-1-1 Information and Referral, Earned Income Tax Credit, Gifts in Kind and Disaster Preparedness.

Last year, the organization raised more

than $700,000 dollars during its annual campaign.

“To be able to raise that much money during difficult economic times is a testament to the generous and caring nature of the people in the North Country,” said Sue LeBlanc, current board president of the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties.

United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties will modify its name to reflect the addition of Franklin County and is also exploring additional office presence to facilitate a regional approach to services and programs in all three counties.
