ELIZABETHTOWN — Government officials from Clinton and Franklin County came together with peers from Essex County Oct. 22 to discuss the issue of sexual crimes, especially those involving children. The sexual offenders laws task force committee was the brainchild of Jay Supervisor and county Chairman Randy Douglas after he heard from residents in his town con-
cerned about registered sex offenders living near buildings in the AuSable Valley Central School District. “There were some concerned citizens in different areas about how we share information and the rules and regulations in the sex offender registry laws,” Douglas said. “I think that it is important today that as we share information that we all come away from this realizing that we are doing what is best to keep our communities safe.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Supervisors is preparing for what many of them think will be an override of the state tax levy cap law. Supervisors voted 14-2 (two absent) to move a local law allowing for the override of the cap onto the full board during its Oct. 22 Ways and Means Committee meeting. However, the vote did not come without debate. “I think that this is premature,” said Willsboro Supervisor Ed Hatch, who voted against the local law introduction along with Wilmington’s Randy Preston. “We should be looking at this budget without having this chance to just say that we are going to override the budget hanging over us, saying that we can just go ahead and override.”

Announced fiber optic network improves North Country health care By Stephen Bartlett
stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Fiber optic telecommunications will improve the quality of health care at a time when health care is asked to do more with less. Rural health care facilities in eight counties in northern New York will have high quality, affordable digital connectivity necessary to share telemedicine and telehealth services starting in late November. The Adirondack – Champlain Telemedicine Information Network (ACTION) is a regional initiative formed to create a fiber optic telecommunications and telemedicine network that connects eight participating hospitals, 40 primary care facilities affiliated with these hospitals and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe

and Assemblywoman Janet Duprey. The Research Foundation of the State University of New York is the legal entity that administered the FCC program for the Rural Health Care Pilot Program contract of $8,998,004, awarded to ACTION. They were assisted in this effort by the Fort Drum Regional Health Planning Organization. CVPH Medical Center is the lead eligible provider for the FCC Rural Health Care Pilot Program and SUNY serves as the fiscal administrator. Plattsburgh State provides that link to SUNY’s Research Foundation, a private, nonprofit educational corporation that administers externally funded contracts and grants for and on behalf of SUNY campuses. The Development Corporation of the North Country will utilize multiple local service provider networks to connect ACTION member locations throughout the region. “This will allow for the continuity of care throughout any of these facilities, regardless of where the patient finds him or herself,” Hooper said. “The ability of these hospitals to share information through the secured network helps improve healthcare quality by ensuring the availability of a patient’s EMR, test results, x-rays, CT scans, etc. to physicians at these facilities. It also helps to maximize cost effectiveness by ensuring that tests are not duplicated, and that all doctors have access to the same information.”

Health Care Facility. “Elizabethtown Community Hospital has had access to its own fiber optic lines, along with the ability to offer telemedicine, for a number of years,” said Jane Hooper, Director of Community Relations for Elizabethtown Community Hospital. “The completion of this regional project will give ECH the opportunity to expand its telemedicine capabilities to any hospital within the region; increasing access to specialty care from its facility in Elizabethtown and its community-based health centers. “Additionally, it will allow ECH to easily share patient information; increasing patient safety by alerting providers to allergies or pre-existing conditions that may affect treatment.” The network encompasses Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Rensselaer, Saratoga, St. Lawrence, Warren and Washington counties in New York and extends to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vermont. Participants outlined the project at a press conference at CVPH Medical Center, discussing the merits of the program and thanking government officials who helped secure the funding. All gathered stressed that the fiber optic telecommunications system will improve health care quality, patient safety and maximize cost efficiencies at a time when health care must do more with less.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Elizabethtown Community Hospital has purchased a new ambulance that will be used to transport its patients for additional care. The brand-new transport ambulance is a 2012 Chevrolet ambulance, manufactured by Osage Ambulances. The ambulance is stocked with new equipment and accessories used by the hospital’s emergency staff while transporting patients for additional care. The ECH transport ambulance is now one of two units that are owned by ECH and stationed on hospital property, ready to transfer a patient in minutes. The addition of the transport ambulance has allowed it to improve the quality of patient care by cutting transfer time in half. Historically, the hospital has relied on a number of transport service businesses to transport its patients. The hospital created its own transport program earlier this year after those paid services were no longer able to maintain an ambulance in
Elizabethtown resident Al Kurtz was the first patient transported in the hospital’s newly purchased ambulance. the Westport area. Those services now must travel forty minutes to reach ECH. “The issue is time,” said Emergency Department Manager Julie Tromblee, RN. “This hospital must ensure that patients receive the care they need as quickly as possible. Waiting for an ambulance serv-
ice to travel 40 minutes to reach our facility, pickup the patient and then travel another 40 minutes to another facility is simply not an option.” Local emergency medical squads from throughout Essex County bring patients to the hospital, some of which are trauma or critical care cases. After ECH staff provides initial care and stabilizing treatment, the hospital transfers these patients to other facilities. Trauma and stroke patients are transferred to Burlington via helicopter whenever possible. Patients that require cardiac care or emergency surgical procedures are typically transferred to Plattsburgh or Burlington via ambulance. The hospital has hired an ambulance driver, a full time critical-care emergency medical technician (EMT), and part-time critical care EMT. Each of these positions will be working within the hospital’s emergency department when not providing transport. Other hospital personnel will be “on call” to drive the vehicle.

Etown brush dump closed, budget hearing set By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown brush dump is now closed. Supervisor Margaret Bartley said that due to irresponsible dumping taking place at the site, the town had closed the brush dump until further notice. “The entire area has been filled by larger debris that should not be dumped there,� Bartley said. “There are whole trees up there when the law says that there cannot be any branches over three inches in diameter. It has become so hard to get in there that people have been dumping on the side of the road and along the trails, which creates another set of problems.� Town councilman Jim Phillips brought up the issue at a recent town board meeting. “I stood there on a Saturday and watched five trucks come in there with brush that were not even from the town,� Phillips said. “It has gotten so now that we need to figure out what we are going to do.� “I know that the DEC can come in here right now and shut the whole thing down if we do not stop this now,� Bartley said at the meeting. “We put up extra signs and it didn’t do anything.� Bartley suggested that the brush dump be fenced off and then opened on a limit-

Supervisor Tom Scozzafava talked about the process he and county manager Daniel Palmer had been through so far. “Dan and I have met with each department head and gone through the budget line by line, and I can tell you that there is no fat in there,� Scozzafava said. “Hopefully we can bring this down to meet the cap, but I do not foresee that happening.� Palmer said that he wanted to meet with the board prior to the tentative budget being filed in order to go over a threeyear plan to balance the budget. It is going to be painful for the first two years,� Palmer said in announcing his plan. “We will be bleeding a lot of the fund balance. I would rather have some agreement with the board before I file a
tentative budget.� Palmer said that, at the moment, there would be a lot of pain in order to get to the tax levy cap, which he felt the county could not bear. “Right now, we would have to eliminate 150 positions in the county in order to bridge the gap that we have in the budget right now,“ Palmer said. “I do not see how you can operate the county with 150 less employees.� Westport town supervisor Daniel Connell agreed. “I would expect that we are looking at a huge number of layoffs, and I do not know how you can run the county if you cut a lot of people. I don't know if you can do it if you cut anyone,� he said. “There is one department that we have met with that needs to hire two people or it will actually cost us more to run it.�

Connell and Chesterfield supervisor Gerald Morrow talked about their ability to meet the cap at the town level. Scozzafava responded by saying that it was either meeting it at the town or county level. “The county is subsidizing many of the services that the towns in other counties take care of,� he said. “If we eliminate that funding to those programs, then it would be the towns that would be having the difficulty to meet the cap.� “I do not think that I am going to be on the board long enough to see us meet the cap,� Morrow said. County Attorney Daniel Manning said that the introduction of a new local law did not mean passage, but set up the opportunity for a public hearing, after which the board would be able to decide whether or not to proceed. “This just allows us to get the local law before the board, it does not already override the cap,� he said. “This will just put it out there right now and give us the option,� Scozzafava said.

Offender committee Continued from page 1 Essex County Attorney Daniel Manning said that enacting new laws at a county level could prove a challenge with many being challenged on the basis of pre-emption. “If the state of New York has enacted a law that already covers a subject matter and has decided to take control of that field, then the courts will not allow local municipalities to enact local laws that are accompanying the state law,” Manning said. “You would have a severe challenge to it.” Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague took time to talk about the different levels of sexual offenders on the registry, saying that Level 1 offenders are the least likely to commit another offense, while Level 2 represented a moderate risk and Level 3 a severe risk. Sprague added that she felt the laws needed to be updated to bring them into the electronic age. “One of my main complaints is that this has never been updated to include cyber crimes,” she said. “There is nothing on here saying that someone used a computer to gain a relationship with a child. We are seeing a lot of that where texting and messaging is being used as the first contact. If there is one suggestion I would make today, it would be to

change that scoring system to include cyber crimes.” Richelle Beach of the Clinton County Child Advocacy Center said that in the bigger discussion of sexual offenses, the conversation has to also focus on prevention. “Only 5 percent of the cases involve strangers,” Beach said. “I have only seen two cases of stranger case in Clinton County, and we were unable to confirm one of those. The other was a girl that was trying to hook up with someone online. These are trusted individuals. These are people that have taken years to build up the trust of the family. We need to get away from the idea that the guy in the white van is going to pull up and run away with our child. It is happening with people that we know and it is happening in homes where there are people that we thought we could trust.” Sprague also said that there needs to be services in place to help victims, especially in cases where families are pitted against each other. “The biggest thing is having services for the child so that they do continue to testify,” Sprague said. “Can you imagine being 6 years old standing up in front of a courtroom and testify to a bunch of strangers about being raped by someone you loved and then have your mother get up on that stand and testify against you?” Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said that she had a new perspective after the meeting. “I came in here thinking about where the sex offenders are living and that seems to be the least of our concerns,” Bartley said. “It seems that you are saying that we need to look at the bigger issues and child advocacy.” “The people that we are worried about are in the homes right now,” Beach said. “The red dots on the map are people that we are already watching.” Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting said that his office routinely makes patrols to watch out for registered offenders and make between six to eight arrests annually of those
who have moved or changed their living circumstances without notifying the authorities. Clinton County Sheriff Dave Favro also spoke about the Sex Offender Watch program which is offered in his county. “We need to do everything that we can to help preserve the youth and keep them safe,” he said. “I think that there are a couple of things that we need to look at. I'm convinced that what we need to do as a society, collectively, is that we need to get together and we need to educate. We need to let the victims know before they are victims that this is wrong. People spend a lot of time in their home, and they spend a lot of time on their computer. We have to hit them in their homes, where they are going to be.” The discussion also involved local school administrators. “This is the best first start for us,” AuSable Valley Superintendent Paul Savage said. “What people are hearing here is no different then what we are hearing. I think that this is a great start, and I don't think that we should stop. We need to keep this discussion open.” “There have been strong partnerships that have been established over time that I saw through my work when I was in Clinton County,” current Elizabethtown-Lewis interim and former Peru Superintendent A. Paul Scott said. “It has been very helpful for us to be able to learn more through the partnerships that we have. We were appreciated that we were invited to be here to talk about this issue. I would encourage you based on what we have learned today to looking into the same type of partnership that there is in Clinton County.” “One of the biggest things in my district is continuing to get the information to us so we can get the information out to the parents and continue to educate the students and parents,” Moriah Superintendent William Larrow said. “We need to continue to get funding that will allow us to bring programs into the school would be helpful for us.”

CYC receives grant to connect community katherine@denpubs.com
lieves reducing access to alcohol will reduce alcohol use by youth. The students will participate in “Project Sticker Shock,” to educate adults who might provide alcohol to youth about the law that prohibits providing alcohol to minors. Participating youth will place warning stickers on beer packages at participating local alcohol retailers. The sticker warns that it is illegal to provide alcohol to minors. CYC will also try to reduce alcohol advertising by merchants. The goal is to reduce alcohol advertising in stores by 50 percent. Clark said the Lake Placid and Wilmington area has been challenged with getting parents to participate in programming. The tourist economics demand many parents work shifts which does not allow them to come to school functions. Clark said parents are key to influencing
their children’s decisions about alcohol use. The CYC hopes to develop a task force of community representatives who have access to parents. The Action Team will include parents, representatives from the CYC Coalition, community service agencies, county agencies, civic organizations and faith based groups. The Action Team will inform and guide initiatives to involve parents in discouraging youth alcohol use. “Our goal is for the combined agencies to help us understand the factors in our community encourage kids to drink or become involved in risky behaviors,” Clark said. “We need to understand that in order to make change in the community.” For more information about CYC go to ConnectingYouth.com.

LAKE PLACID — Stop! The CYC of the Lake Placid and Wilmington area have received a Sober Truth on Preventing Underage drinking, or STOP grant. The STOP grant, partnered with the Federal CYC grant is meant to make the efforts of the Drug Free Community efforts stronger. The CYC applied for the grant in March and at the end of September they found out the group would be awarded the $48,358 grant. Tina Clark, CYC Coordinator, said the grant will further help the organization aide youth in making better decisions about their health and well being by choosing to abstain from underage drinking. “With this program we will be bringing in law en-
forcement, parents, youth and community members to bring about positive reinforcement for our youth,” Clark said. The CYC plans to use the grant funding to increase community collaboration; increase the actual and perceived consequences for providing alcohol to teens; and increase the actual and perceived consequences of teen drinking. Clark said by utilizing different pieces of the community, everyone can come together for a complete defense for the area youth. Part of the effort focuses on local retailers to have increased motivation to make sure that they are not directly providing alcohol to anyone under the legal drinking age. To aide the efforts the group hopes to support Alcohol Basic Training for clerks and severs in Essex County. By going to the source the organization be-

Electoral College fails NY residents It’s time for a change
W
ith the presidential campaign in its final days, enthusiasm for this year ’s election is nearing a peak. It’s too bad your vote won’t matter. That statement is heresy in the United States, a nation where we’re taught almost from birth the value and responsibility of voting in a democracy — but it’s true in our case. That’s because no matter how we vote, New York’s 29 electoral votes will go to President Obama. That’s the nature of the Electoral College, which was established by our founding fathers in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the president by a vote in Congress and election of the president by a popular vote of citizens. When we vote, we are actually voting for “electors” who will represent us in the actual vote for president. The Electoral College consists of 538 “electors.” A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. A state’s allotment of electors equals the number of members in its congressional delegation. In every state but two, Maine and Nebraska, the Electoral College is winner take all. That means a candidate gets all of New York’s 29 electoral votes, even if he wins the state popular vote by one ballot. Because New York City is so heavily Democratic, New York State’s 29 electoral votes will go to Obama. No matter how passionate the debate may be throughout the North Country, Obama will win New York State. Our vote, at least for president, means nothing. We’re not alone. In fact, virtually all the pundits believe this presidential election will be determined by seven to nine “swing” states, states where the popular vote could push the electoral vote either way. That’s why Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney are willing to spend days, even weeks, and millions of dollars in states like Ohio, Virginia and Florida while ignoring New York and other states. Candidates generally like the Electoral College. It allows them to focus their time, energy and money on key states. Citizens should not be as happy with a system that disenfranchises so many voters. If our president was elected by popular vote candidates would be forced to appeal to all voters across the country. They would no longer be able to simply write off entire regionals as a lost cause and simply take other states for granted. It’s time that one man, one vote becomes more than a slogan. It’s time for everyone’s vote to count. Changing the Constitution is a serious, difficult thing, but it’s time to revisit the Electoral College.

Lets keep the debates going
T
he recent presidential and vice presidential debates have been closely watched by the American Public. In an era when television has moved away from serials, dramas and sit-coms in favor of reality TV, and the major media outlets have moved from watchdog journalism to entertainment news, we should consider replacing the State of the Union Address and infrequent press conferences with live debates. Our presidents and congressional leaders have failed to serve their constituents, allowing gridlock and partisan feuds to rule the day. Instead of feeling hopeless, awaiting the next election cycle to see if a true leader can emerge, why not demand that they debate the issues they all claim they want to solve? Instead of pawns we could become participants in the live drama by becoming far more aware of what is going on in our nation’s capital. At least once per year the president should spend an hour-and-a-half debating major issues with a member of the opposing party, such as the Speaker of the House or Senate Majority Leader, and explain what they are doing or why they haven’t accomplished the many promises they so adamantly told us they would accomplish if elected. This would give each side a stage to bring the compelling issues before the American public. Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. They can call each other liars and insist the facts have been twisted, but the major issues of the day would be front and center and in full view of the American public instead of presented at staged, scripted events. Take for example the current issues swirling around the now confirmed terrorist attack in Benghazi. How much would we know today were it not for the debates and upcoming elections? The press didn’t demand accountability until more details were coming out as a result of the debates. How serious are presidential appearances and interviews on shows like the View, late night comedy shows or Entertainment Tonight? Our nation’s leaders have been able to hide behind subordinates and entertainment celebrities instead of facing the nation and responding publicly and personally to their critics. Take for example a recent appearance on ABC’s the View. Whoopi Goldberg barely let Ann Romney settle into her seat before quizzing the candidate’s wife, asking why Mitt Romney didn't serve in Vietnam, if the couple is prepared to console families of fallen soldiers, their stance on abortion and issues related to the Romneys’ Mormon faith. Unlike
a recent joint appearance on the show by President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, during which questioning ranged from how romanDan Alexander tic is the president, what Thoughts from his mood is like given the Behind the Pressline pressures he faces and details pertaining to the couple's anniversary celebration. This interview took priority over meeting with world leaders at the UN while in New York City. Facing off directly against those who adamantly oppose their actions would better enable the American public to determine the shortcomings of our nation’s leaders. If the problem is Congress, the president can call them out and ask the public for their assistance to move issues through the House or Senate. If legislation isn’t passing because congress is loading up bills with pork barrel items the president can specifically address those issues to the public. But if it’s clear that the president isn’t providing the appropriate leadership as promised to move the country forward, the public and the press will be compelled to demand greater accountability. To make the discussions more focused and to ensure the moderator is not spellbound by the participant’s celebrity, nor bullied due to their powerful perseverance, I would suggest we enlist the services of a former US president to control the evening’s discussions as the moderator. By keeping the press off the stage their primary role becomes reporting and not interjecting themselves or their opinions into the issues at hand. Who knows, it might even produce a return to more balanced journalism. Should one party control all three houses the organizers would then ask for a national opposition leader to step forward and provide the opposing viewpoint. My final suggestion would be for the League of Women Voters to be the non-partisan organization to oversee the debates as opposed to subordinates of those debating or party officials. We must find a way to break the deadlock that has continued to grow worse in Washington. This might be a way to do just that. If you think this idea has merit spread the word—it might just take root.

Endorses Owens To the Valley News: It is my pleasure to officially endorse Bill Owens for Congress. Bill’s intelligence, integrity and work ethic make him the right choice for Congress. Our elected officials must work together for the good of all of the people. Congressman Owens record shows that he is a true moderate who is willing to work across party lines in the best interest of his constituents. Congressman Owens (D) worked with Congressman Gibson (R) to host the Federal Agricultural Committee in Saranac Lake, allowing local farmers to have input in the upcoming Federal Farm Bill. Bill works closely with businesses to promote jobs across the Congressional District. He has been a valued partner with Canadian Companies that seek to set up shop this side of the Canadian border. The Congressman is a tireless advocate working hard to fill unfilled jobs, working with our local schools to make sure our students are prepared to meet the needs of local businesses. Bill Owens traveled to Newcomb to give the commencement address to the handful of students in this remarkable little school. This speaks volumes about his commitment to all of our communities irrespective of their size. The Congressman is helping our Retired Veterans and also with current military personnel and their families. Bill is engaged with our Troops just returning stateside from overseas. As a Veteran himself, Bill never fails to acknowledge the sacrifices our military make every day. Congressman Owens is very responsive to my office inquiries. Bill has responded to me regarding concerns from our businesses, military, farmers, and constituents in general with tough issues that can’t be addressed at the State level. Congressman Owens is a proven leader. He is non-partisan, honest, smart, and has a genuine concern for the needs of the people in his Congressional District. Teresa Sayward State Assemblywoman Willsboro
Supports McGinn To the Valley News: I’m writing this letter to support Mike McGinn for the Town Council of Elizabethtown. Mike is experienced, honest, and straightforward, which is what the Board currently needs. A year ago the voters were influenced by promised cost savings and of open, transparent government by a person who claimed experience in all levels of government. It’s turned out to be not true. The Supervisor is taking a pay check. Spending has increased and your taxes will be going up. The desire to exceed the 2 percent tax cap is openly discussed. A year ago we had a budget officer and a part-time bookkeeper, at a cost of $20,000. We
now have a full time bookkeeper, with healthcare, at a cost of $32,000; plus a new position called “Director of Finance.” This person will do the budget for the Supervisor. The pay scale for this Director, and where it will come from, is a little fuzzy since the same person is already an auditor/financial trainer and the Supervisor is already the Budget Officer. Since none of these prior appointments have been rescinded, we now have five paid financial positions. The process of the Town Board has been corrupted. Illegal meetings and actions have been occurring throughout the year. The entire Board is not always allowed to participate in or determine important issues such as the Comprehensive Plan, the Sewer project, the Water Meter project, and the hiring of people. Some of this is incompetence, some of it deceit. Mike has four-plus years experience working on Town budgets, while his opponent has none. Only one current Board member has any budget experience. We need a Councilperson who will tell us the truth and be an advocate for legal government process and fiscal prudence. A Councilperson who will be an independent thinker and not be part of a team with an agenda. Mike McGinn is the only candidate with those qualifications. Please vote for Mike. Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown
Back in for Stec To the Valley News: I ran into an acquaintance the other day and he recalled where we both said we were retiring, that was ten years ago. And yet there we were across the table from each other doing the same job as back then. Well I had retired, but I was back. Why? Because once every ten years or so you meet someone you feel can really make a difference. A person with strong family values, a veteran like his father before him, a person of experience and proven leadership, a Dan Stec. For years I represented Teresa Sayward and then retired, satisfied that the person I drove around back then was the right choice for the North Country. I am thrilled about being out of retirement and representing the Town of Queensbury Supervisor who is also the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors for Warren County, Dan Stec. A fiscal conservative who cut taxes to ”zero” for nine years in his own town, and on top of that gave rebates to the taxpayers for six years totaling almost $10 million. Dan Stec has successfully fought the states unfunded mandates that drive our town and county taxes up, your property taxes. He has served his country, his county and his town and now he is ready to serve us in the NYS Assembly. Dan Stec has an impressive resume, his
education at Clarkson and then earning an MBA, his job choices of U.S. Naval officer and working in businesses back home. When he saw those businesses were having problems, he got a job in town government and saved over 400 jobs from leaving his area. Dan Stec knows our issues and knows how to fix them. I’m glad I came out of retirement. Vote Nov. 6, VOTE DAN STEC. Win Belanger Willsboro
Thanks for help To the Valley News: The Elizabethtown Planning Board would like to thank the 128 people who took the time to fill out the Town survey on the future of Elizabethtown. Economic development was identified as the most important topic explored in the survey, followed by community character. Other topics were covered and the results and comments of the participants can be viewed online at WWW.etownny.com. On Aug. 18 a workshop was held and about 22 people attended. It began with a large group exercise, but for the majority of the meeting, attendees worked in small groups. It’s objectives were to bring about consensus on issues, opportunities, and vision for Elizabethtown. These results, too, can be viewed online. The next step in the process is to meet with focus groups led by one of the town’s planning consultants. These focus groups, comprised of professional and business members of Elizabethtown, are seen as an important tool in acquiring information and ideas about the town’s businesses, housing, resources, and overall environment. Elizabethtown’s Comprehensive Plan is just that - A PLAN. It is not a law; it is not zoning; it does not involve regulations. It simply reflects the needs and desires of the community, a wish list, if you will. The Town Board adopts it only after public hearings and county review. One very good reason for having a plan is that all State and Federal funding pretty much needs to be connected to a plan. The funding agencies require communities to have their act together, i.e., a Comprehensive Plan, to be considered. It is one way to help ensure that some of our tax dollars are returned to our community. The Elizabethtown Planning Board is looking forward to the continued cooperation of all who took the time to be involved for the good of the Elizabethtown community. The Elizabethtown Planning Board

GUESTVIEWPOINT Halloween safety and respecting political property
H
alloween may be a fun holiday for kids, but for parents, trick-ortreat time may be a bit tricky. I would like to provide the following safety tips to help you plan a safe, fun Halloween for your family.
Costumes
■Face paint is safer than a mask - and it's more fun! ■Choose costumes in light colors or add reflective tape. ■Check that costumes are flame-retardant and not so long as to pose a tripping hazard.
Trick-or-Treaters Should:
■Travel in pairs or groups and stay together. ■Walk on the sidewalk or on the left side of the road facing traffic. ■Stop, look and listen at corners. ■Plan a safe route; stop only at familiar homes where the outside lights are on. ■Carry a flashlight or glow stick. ■ Carry a cell phone if trick or treating without an adult. ■Be respectful of other people and their property.
Trick-or-Treaters Should NOT:
■Go inside a stranger's house or get into a stranger's car. ■Run across yards or streets. ■Venture down dark, empty streets. ■Approach dark, unlighted houses. ■ Go between parked cars or crisscross back and forth across streets.
Parents with Younger Children:
■Should accompany young children. ■Plan to trick-or-treat while it's still light out. ■Walk with your children to each house and wait in the driveway for them.

www.thevalleynews.org
Treats:
■Children should save all their candy until they get home. ■Feed your children a meal or substantial snack before trick or treating so they are less tempted to eat the candy. ■Inspect all treats when you get home. Throw away any unwrapped, open, or suspicious looking goodies. ■If your child becomes suddenly ill, IMMEDIATELY call your doctor or dial 911! Try to determine what the child has eaten and where it came from. Save all wrappers.
At Home:
■ Put away anything trick-or-treaters could trip over. ■ Turn the lights on and replace any burned-out bulbs at the walkway and front door. ■Remember, your jack-o-lantern and any other candles or electrical decorations can be a fire hazard. Keep them out of the reach of small children and away from flammable materials. ■Never leave your house unattended. If you have to leave your house, make sure all the doors are locked.
Even if you don't have children:
■If driving on Halloween, watch for trick or treaters in the streets and darting out from between parked cars. ■If hosting or attending a Halloween celebration that includes alcohol, be responsible! Don't drink and drive! We also recommend that you map out your route and check it against the New York State Sex Offender Registry at criminaljustice.ny.gov/nsor. It is a good practice to check in with this vital public safety resource a couple of times each year.
Review these safety guidelines with your family and set ground rules before heading out. Our office will have increased patrols on Oct. 31, but a little planning on your part is the best way to ensure a safe, fun Halloween.
Don’t damage election signs In this contentious election season emotions are high and loyalties run deep. It is only natural to want our preferred candidates to succeed in their quest for office and to do all we can to help this outcome. The Essex County Sheriff ’s Office has received calls and complaints concerning missing or defaced election signs. While we recognize your loyalty to your candidate, I do ask some semblance of reason in these tense times. It is commendable that you support your candidate but destroying or removing signs is not the answer. I would recommend your energies be of better use were you to call your candidate’s campaign office and volunteer. You can help with mailers, host a Meet and Greet, introduce your candidate to your family, friends and fellow community members and by doing so, accomplish much more than you would achieve by these potentially criminal acts. Your best support comes on Nov. 6, Election Day when you have the opportunity to vote for your candidates. Please exercise your right, make your voice heard and encourage your friends and neighbors to vote as well. Please respect these public minded candidates. They have put themselves on a very hectic, expensive and arduous path to reaching their goal. Let us acknowledge their vision, respect their campaign and congratulate the winner after the election. Richard Cutting Essex County Sheriff
Youth Unemployment
T
he unemployment rate for teens aged 16 to 19 years of age is a staggering 24.5 percent . In 2007 the teenage unemployment rate for 16 to 19 year olds was 16.3 percent. California and Georgia lead the country in teen unemployment at 34.6 percent. Many changes have occurred since I was a teenager that has contributed to fewer jobs being available By Scot Hurlburt to teenagers. If you have been to area grocery stores and department stores you will see that cashier free check outs are on the rise. As in many other segments of the economy where job elimination is an issue as technological advances continue to remove the hands of labor such as was seen in the auto industry. Some say the increase in the minimum wage has pushed down on hiring teenagers; states like California have an $8 an hour minimum wage scale. Other factors that were not anticipated are the participation of older workers who are competing for jobs previously held by young people. As the recession has taken its toll on the overall economy, it has forced some retirees to come out of retirement to take jobs that youth would have taken historically. Many older people are taking these jobs as their retirement incomes are tied to the vicissitudes of the stock market and dramatic declines cut into the incomes of retired seniors leaving them no choice but to reenter the workforce. Retirees may also be facing significant upturns in insurance premiums and copays for medications and doctor visits. In addition, teenagers sometimes face an attitude from adults that expresses distrust of them in several ways. Some adults fear that teenagers may sue them if they hurt themselves, still other adult’s fear that a teenager may make an allegation of inappropriate behavior and possibly the most difficult attitude to overcome is that teenagers today are lazy and lacking in the skill sets to be in the work place. I was fortunate enough to work should to shoulder with many adults during my teenage years. I learned many important skills during these opportunities. Principally, I learned the value of hard work and the importance of persistence. One summer, I picked rocks out of a field for an entire summer. At the summers end, I was convinced that I knew what Sisyphus must have experienced. The field was so full of rocks that new rocks seemed to appear every day. At some point it became me against the rocks, this vision became especially clear to me as this was a solitary effort, just me and the rocks. I also worked with a variety of young adults that were working at farms full time. I learned a great deal form these young men, often I learned as much about what not do as I did about what I should do. Part of their sometimes reckless behavior was simply high-test testosterone influenced behavior and at other times it seemed that they were racing against the burden of so much physical labor that needed to be done. Racing across the bumpy hayfield sometimes dumping part of the load that would need to be reloaded and losing some bales of hay that would break. I learned the most from the older or middle-aged workers. They usually paced themselves and were solid workers that did not make mistakes. They were always careful around machinery, never misusing a piece of equipment and always performing regular maintenance, a grease gun at the ready and a variety of wrenches and screwdrivers, adjusting and tightening as needed. They seemed to have a bigger vision than just the physical work. They checked the gas and oil in the tractor the water in the jug and tools in the tool box. I think I learned a great deal from these hard working men, experiences that many of today’s youth are missing. They will miss these essential youth experiences and the important lessons imbedded there in. Along with many common sense and practical lessons about life that I learned, I am proud to say that I retired my last pickup in good running condition with just over 249,000 miles on it. Those wise men that I met with a grease gun always nearby showed me what careful use and regular maintenance can do, lessons not just about machinery but also about life. Remember, all kids count.

Animal advocates want to set the record straight about pitbulls By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com WESTPORT — The dog breed with the highest volume in the United States is also the dog breed with the highest volume in shelters across the country. For National Pitbull Day, Oct. 27, the North Country SPCA will be waiving all adoption fees from Oct. 26-28 for their pit bull and pitmix dogs. They only ask that people see the breed for its loyal and loveable qualities without the sensationalized image of a fighter. National Pitbull awareness day was created to bring awareness, appreciation and education and designed to change perceptions and stereotypes about pit bulls and their responsible owners. At North Country SPCA in Westport, the Elmore SPCA in Peru, and the Adirondack Humane Society in Plattsburgh, shelter managers said on average the pit bull and pit mixes stay weeks, and sometimes years longer than other breeds before they are adopted. “On average we will have a dog for about 24 days before it’s adopted, pit mixes however on average are with us for three-and-a-half months,” said Rebecca Burdo, Shelter Manager of the Elmore SPCA. According to Jessica Hartley, Board member at the North Country SPCA in Westport, families will take one look at the pointed ears and rounded foreheads of a pit bull mix and say: “Oh no, not a pit bull. I just couldn’t.” “People come in and dismiss these very adoptable dogs just because of some of the stereotypes about pits,” Hartley said. Angel, a brown and white staffordshire pit bull, has been at the Westport shelter for more than a year. Pam Rock, shelter manager at NCSPCA, has labeled her the “Volunteer Favorite” for her wonderful manners on a leash and her absolutely happy demeanor. “When someone comes to take her, she walks with everyone and she doesn’t really pay any attention to other dogs,” Rock said. “She would be the perfect dog to cuddle up with her owners at the end of the day and go for long walks and hikes during the day.” Rock said Angel needs to be an “only child,” with all the attention and she’ll give you so much love back. At the Westport shelter, like any other no-kill shelter, Rock said there are some dogs who stay
for a long period of time due to temperament or health related issues. But pit bulls, she said, face an even greater challenge of finding a home to take them in. “People should know a dog is a dog and it’s going to always need boundaries and discipline, just like any other dog,” Rock said.
THE “PIT” Pit bull is a term often referring to the American Pit bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terries, and Staffordshire Bull terriers. The dogs are marred by the recent “Michael Vick” stigma attached to dog fighting. “Michael Vick and all that ridiculousness, the only good that came from that was the awareness that affluent people were doing this,” Burdo said. In cases of dog fighting, owners use the pit bull’s loyalty and strength to train them into an aggressive dog, Burdo said. But Hartley said unfortunately media reports have fueled the stereotype by giving more coverage to incidents of an aggressive pits. “Out of millions of pitbulls the breed has the least probability of attacking someone,” Hartley said. “Unless people are an advocate for the breed or have taken the time to understand the breed the only stereotype people know is they are aggressive. Because of this pits stay in shelters longer or are euthanized first before more aggressive dogs of favorable breeds.”
NATURE VS. NURTURE Aggression in a dog is subject to its nurturing and how the dog is raised to be. David Goldwasser, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and owner of the Adirondack Veterinary Hospital in Westport said he does not like to make generalizations or develop any preconceived notions about breeds. Each dog is an individual, and should be treated as an individual. “I have seen aggressive behavior in some Labrador Retrievers and some Golden Retrievers. No breed is immune from aggressive tendencies,” Goldwasser said. “I have known many purebred Pit Bulls, i.e. American Staffordshire Terriers, that were loving and trustworthy family dogs.” Goldwasser said pits and pit bull mixes make up a large quantity of his patients. He said he has seen studies which rank dog breeds with regard to aggressive behavior (i.e. reported dog-to-person aggression) which showed that pit bulls rank quite low on those lists.

In the Elmore shelter, old photos and facts about the breed have been hung on all the walls for visitors to learn more during in the days leading up to National Pitbull Awareness day. Burdo said when people come in and ask for a pitbull she simply asks them “What do you love about them?” “After reading up on the breed I saw that the pit bull was a loyal family dog and I thought it would be a great dog for us,” Greg Angel and Roxy, an American Staffordshire Terrier and a pit mix get ready Roy of Plattsburgh said.

Trail names honor locals at Dewey Mountain Recreation Center SARANAC LAKE — Volunteers helped Dewey Mountain Recreation Center begin to install new signs and introduce a new trail map Sunday. The signage and a loop-based trail system are designed to improve flow and clarity on 13 kilometers of cross-country ski trails. Dewey Mountain, a multi-season recreation facility owned by the Town of Harrietstown, also features 10 kilometers of in-town snowshoe, mountain-bike and walking trails. The bold new signs were funded by a mini-grant from North Country Healthy Heart Network’s Creating Healthy Places program, funded by the New York State Department of Health. One of the program’s goals is to increase opportunities for North Country residents to be physically active. The signs are designed to make trails more welcoming by clarifying routes and level of difficulty. The intent is to make it easier for visitors and newcomers to mountain sports to navigate trails safely. The signs and loop system were created by Demong Designs, a trail design company coowned by Bill Demong and Kris Cheney Seymour, two former Vermontville residents who know Dewey well from youth racing and coaching. Both now live in Utah. Margot Gold and Jamie Konkoski of North Country Healthy Heart Network cut the ribbon with help from guests of honor. Trail names pay tribute to local people who have been important to the region’s winter sports heritage: The trail “Timinator” honors Tim Burke, a two-time Olympian in biathlon originally from Paul Smith’s. Tim became the first North American ever to lead the World Cup circuit in 2009. Tim’s parents Jack and Mary
Honorees Mary Jean Burke, Jack Burke, Helen Demong and Natalie Leduc listen as Jamie Konkoski and Margot Gold of North Country Healthy Heart Network prepare to cut the ribbon on new cross-country-ski trail signs at Dewey Mountain Recreation Center in Saranac Lake Sunday. Jean Burke were present Sunday to help inaugurate new trail names. The trail “Iron Bill” honors Bill Demong, a four-time Olympian in Nordic combined who won gold and silver medals at the 2010 games. Bill’s mother Helen Demong represented the Demong family Sunday, helping cut the ribbon. Burke and Demong both learned to ski at Dewey and raced there as kids. They continue to compete at the world level and are active volunteers with their home mountain.
The trail “Natski” honors Natalie Leduc, ski historian and a former women’s state champion in slalom, downhill and combined, as well as a Class A cross-country ski racer. Leduc is a tireless supporter of winter sports in all forms. She has coached alpine and cross-country, and her passion is making skiing available to children, and making sure that local skiers who have gone before are remembered. Leduc helped cut the ribbon Sunday. The trail “Wolff” pays tribute to the Wolff

Race Continued from page 1 Clyde Rabideau’s email address and was from his campaign manager, Chad McCarthy. The latest email was more personalized, coming from Catillaz’s address: “The race is back on. I have decided to get back in the race and I am very excited about it. Tom.” On Oct. 9, Catillaz said he was suspending his active campaign indefinitely for the Harrietstown supervisor race — also cancelling the Oct. 16 debate with Republican challenger and Harrietstown Councilman Bob Bevilacqua — citing a “serious family medical situation out-of-state” as the reason, but he did not elaborate. He later told the Valley News he wished not to have the details of his family’s situation in the newspapers or on the radio. Even after the announcement, Catillaz’s campaign signs remained intact around town and he stayed on the ballot while he took some time off to deal with the family crisis. “Things have calmed down a little bit,” Catillaz said in an interview at the village offices before the Village Board’s Oct. 22 meeting. “They haven’t disappeared, but they

have certainly calmed down. I’ve gotten my focus back, and I am very excited about this.” Asked if there was something his family said to prompt him to get back into the race, Catillaz said, “I have the full support of everyone in my family and my peers on this board out here. They all thought it would be a good idea. They knew I needed to take a little break, but after two weeks they said, ‘You know, you need to make a decision here’ ...
They didn’t have to talk to me for very long. I was thinking of it all along. For a week, I was not, and then it started to come back in as everything else settled down a little bit.” Catillaz was knocking on doors over the weekend, meeting with residents and asking for votes. On Oct. 21, two days after Catillaz jumped back into the supervisor ’s race, his opponent

Bevilacqua asked the organizers of the cancelled Oct. 16 debate — Denton Publications and the Adirondack Daily Enterprise (ADE) — to reschedule it as soon as possible. “The voters of the town of Harrietstown were really not given the opportunity to hear both candidates discuss the issues in open forum,” Bevilacqua said. “I believe it is important that this debate be rescheduled. I am willing to meet in a debate anytime, anywhere leading up to the Nov. 6 election.” The next day, both candidates agreed to meet in a debate at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29 at the Harrietstown Town Hall, 39 Main St. It will feature a panel of journalists, including Denton Publications Assistant Managing Editor Andy Flynn and ADE Senior Staff Writer Chris Knight, and it will be moderated by ADE Managing Editor Peter Crowley. To suggest a question to the panel, email Andy Flynn at andy@denpubs.com or Peter Crowley at pcrowley@adirondackdailyenterprise.com. Catillaz said he is looking forward to the debate. “I have a lot of respect for Bob,” Catillaz said. “It’s been a clean contest so far, and I think it will remain that way.”

Oct. 29 debate
family’s dedication to promoting winter sports in the region, especially Phil and Elsie Wolff. Patriarch Phil Wolff, who passed away last year at age 95, is remembered most prominently for his roles as Chief of Staff of the Lake Placid Winter Olympic Organizing Committee and founder of the Lake Placid Winter Olympic Museum. Phil and Elsie’s grandson Stephen represented the family Sunday. The trail “Margie” honors Margaret Wilson Lamy, who also embodies the region’s Olympic spirit and is a linchpin of two winter-sports families, the Lamys and Wilsons, who competed at the world level in skating, bobsledding and cross-country skiing. Marge also chronicled local sports history for several publications. The trail “Thanks, Coach” honors the many dedicated people who have taught children how to ski at Dewey, at both the high school and youth level. Their leadership has inspired two model programs and a lifelong love of skiing in thousands of kids. Finally, “Peanuts” honors the people who have run Dewey. Day and night, they do the hard work of grooming trail and keeping the lights on and the kids warm—for peanuts. Jason Smith and Steve Doxzon, of Adirondack Lakes & Trails Outfitters, were recognized for accomplishing much in their seven years as the town’s winter operations contractor. A dozen volunteers helped move signs onto trails. The volunteers were thanked for their role in keeping Dewey’s programs and facilities vital. Dewey Mountain Recreation Center is on State Route 3, one mile west of downtown Saranac Lake. For more information see

KEENE VALLEY — On Sunday, Nov. 4, at 5 p.m., the Keene Central School Forensics Team will present a staged reading of Stanley Rutherford's absurdist comedy, "Tables and Chairs." The KCS Forensics Team has already been to its first tournament of the year, taking first place in two events at the Northern New York Forensics League gathering held at the Parishville-Hopkinton Central School near Potsdam. Seniors Sam Balzac and Cassandra Day won first place in Duo Performance, an event open to high school students; and eighth grader Elaina Smith took first place in Modified Prose, which was open to middle-school students. Keene Central is just one of two schools in Essex County and one of a handful in the Adirondack Park that participate in forensics, which tests students’ ability in public speaking and drama and which is a great skill-builder for college, job interviews, work responsibilities, and other fundamental aspects of adult life. In addition to Balzac, Day, and Smith, other performers at the Nov. 4 fundraiser will include Liza Amirault, Peter Craig, Brianna Joannette, and Jonah Wu of Taiwan, one of six students attending KCS this year as part of a new international program at the school. The cast plans to put their own spin on this already hilariously absurd play and serve it up with a wide assortment of desserts. The presentation will take place in the auditorium at Keene Central School, 33 Market Street, just off NYS Route 73 in Keene Valley. Admission is $5, and all proceeds will go to help fund the team’s upcoming tournament appearances.
KEENE VALLEY — On Thursday, Nov. 1, at 7 p.m., in the Keene Central School (KCS) auditorium, several seniors at the school will participate in a public discussion on the 2012 presidential election. What is unique about this forum is that the discussion will not be limited to the candidate positions and party platforms of only the two major political parties—as the recent presidential debates have been—but will also include the candidate views and party platforms of several third parties. Much of the information presented will be based on research conducted by the students themselves, all of whom are currently taking the Government class taught by Brad Hurlburt and who volunteered to represent one of the political parties.

Hoskins in as Essex Town Clerk while LaForest says he is out on board By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ESSEX — Just when everything appeared to be returning to normal, another resignation announcement came to the Essex Town Council. This time, it was one of their own. During the same Oct. 18 meeting where Supervisor Sharon Boisen announced the appointment of former town clerk Audrey Hoskins to fill the remainder of the term vacated by Catherine DeWolff, councilman James LaForest said that it was his intent to leave his position Nov. 30. “I have been talking about resigning from this board, and Nov. 30 will be my last day,” LaForest said after an exchange between himself and Boisen where he threatened to take her gavel and “throw it through the wall.” “I know how delighted you will be at that,” LaForest said to Boisen. “If you want me to resign even earlier and you have someone in mind, then I will do that.” Afterwards, Boisen said that she was approached by someone who expressed interest in the position at the meeting and would put them in contact with LaForest. “He did not put in an official resignation, so we did not act on anything tonight,” Boisen said. LaForest’s announcement came on the same night that Hoskins returned to the town table as clerk. “I had been involved with some problems with the reports of the previous town clerk,” Hoskins said, referring to a pair of reports
Audrey Hoskins returned to a familiar chair, sitting next to Essex Councilwoman Claire LaPine during the Oct. 18 town board meeting. Hoskins will fill the remainder of the term held by Cathy DeWolff.

that DeWolff had not submitted because she was seeking an error that occurred. “I was told later that Cathy had resigned and asked if I would be interested in coming back, and I said that I would.” “Audrey submitted a letter of interest, and I think that she was a logical choice,” Boisen said. “She shared an interest in helping us get past this and move forward.” Hoskins said that she would serve in the position until Dec. 31, 2013, and hoped that she could find a deputy town clerk that would be willing to take the reigns and run for the position in next November ’s election. “This is temporary for me,” she said. “I am not seeking election.” DeWolff submitted her resignation to the
Deputy Town Clerk Donna Haynes also resigned her post, stating she did so because she did not want to be the next in line for the position of clerk. “It is my understanding that being the deputy town clerk, I am expected to take over her responsibilities,” Haynes resignation letter stated. “While I sympathize with the hardship this may cause, I am also resigning.” Haynes said that she would continue on as the water and sewer rents clerk for the town through the remainder of the year, and both she and Boisen hoped that she would be reappointed to the position by the board in 2013.

Substance Abuse Prevention Month observed By Fred Herbst
Terbeek, Prevention Team executive director. “Every generation needs to be taught about the dangers of substance abuse. It’s a never-ending battle.” It’s a battle The Prevention Team has been waging for 27 years.

heroin again. Cocaine seems to be coming back, too.” With eight full-time employees, The Prevention Team is a non-profit agency providing education and prevention services for Essex County. It has educators and counselors in Elizabethtown-Lewis, Crown Point, Ticonderoga, Moriah, Minerva, Newcomb, Westport, Willsboro and Lake Placid schools. “We try to make contact with every student at least once a year,” Terbeek said. “Obviously we can’t see every kid every day and there are some students we see more often than others.” The Prevention Team is also active with adults, having formed partnerships in several communities to combat substance abuse. It sponsors a drinking-and-driving education program, trains servers and merchants about alcohol sales and operates an alcohol-awareness program for court-referred teens. This past year the Prevention Team also played a lead role in efforts to ban synthetic marijuana, also know as K2, in New York State and lobbied the county board to prevent alcohol sales at the annual county fair. “We do a lot of different things,” Terbeek said. “A lot
of our programs are opportunistic; when we see a need we step in.” In the past few years the Prevention Team has conducted Walks Against Drugs, Youth to Youth programs, SAFE HOMES, Natural Helpers, Reconnecting Youth, FAST, Coaches and Captains, Boquet River Theatre Festival, Reality Check, Teen Institutes, Connecting Youth and Communities (CYC), One Second Exhibit 2008-2009, Prevention Team/Vermont Voltage Soccer Camps and BEST Walks. Terbeek is pleased with the progress made in substance abuse prevention, but realizes more work needs to be done. “We’ve made great progress on smoking (tobacco),” he said. “We have more restrictions and taxation on tobacco than ever and it’s working. Fewer people are smoking. “We still have a lot to do on alcohol; that’s our top problem,” he added. “We need to educate people about the health-related issues and point out the tragedies associated with alcohol — the accidents, domestic violence.” Terbeek said the same effort that has made smoking “socially unacceptable” has to be made on alcohol abuse.
“It’s harder to smoke than it is to drink,” he said. “The price of cigarettes keep going up because of higher taxes. Alcohol taxes are lower today than they were in 1965.” It’s not practical to expect people to stop using alcohol, Terbeek said. “We don’t promote abstinence from alcohol,” he said. “We try to help people understand that they can drink responsibly; that they can have a good time without alcohol.” The Prevention Team has no special events planned for National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, although it will observe Above the Influence Day on Oct. 18 and Red Ribbon Week Oct. 23-31. Red Ribbon Week honors the memory of Enrique (Kiki) Camarena, a federal agent killed by Mexican drug dealers in 1985. President Barack Obama has issued a proclamation declaring October as National Substance Abuse Prevention Month. “By providing strong support systems for our loved ones, and by talking with our children about the dangers of alcohol and other drugs, we can increase their chances of living long, healthy, and productive lives,” the president said.
“During National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, we celebrate those dedicated to prevention efforts, and we renew our commitment to the well being of all Americans. “The damage done by drugs is felt far beyond the millions of Americans with diagnosable substance abuse or dependence problems countless families and communities also live with the pain and heartbreak it causes. Relationships are destroyed, crime and violence blight communities, and dreams are shattered. Substance abuse touches every sector of our society, straining our health care and criminal justice systems. “For all these reasons, my administration has made prevention a central component of our National Drug Control Strategy, and we have developed the first ever National Prevention Strategy. These strategies, inspired by the thousands of drug free coalitions across our country, recognize the power of community based prevention organizations, and suggest that prevention activities are most effective when informed by science, driven by state and local partnerships, and tuned to the specific needs of a community.”

“There is a freshness to the storytelling and the gags that are a part of silent films,” Model said. “It’s exciting to see people reacting. One of the things that I am always aware of in the room from the beginning is how much fun it is for the audience. It’s a style that people are not used to and a very different vibe.” Model said that it was his opportunity to play for the silent films in school along with meeting a silent film artist that fueled his passion for the genre which became

WILLSBORO — Ben Model has had two passions in life — cinema and playing the piano. It was during a college class on the former where he first combined his love of both. “When I went to film school we were watching these silent films without a soundtrack and it bothered me that these films were dying in front of the students,” Model said. “I went to the head of the department and asked if I could play during the movies, and he loved the idea. “It was a Reese’s situation — I got piano playing on my silent film and silent film on my piano playing.” For the third time, Model brought his piano and films to the Champlain Valley Film Society, playing for the Buster Keaton classic, “The Navigator,” Oct. 20 at Willsboro Central School.

Establish a home fire safety plan People rely on fire and smoke detectors to help keep them safe in their homes. Though fire and smoke alarms are effective, a firm fire safety plan that will keep everyone calm should a fire occur could make the difference between life and death. The U.S. Fire Administration says that more than 3,500 Americans die each year in fires, while roughly 18,300 more men, women and children are injured each year. Cooking accounts for the greatest percentage of residential fires, followed by arson. Dryer vent fires are also a big concern. FEMA says that smoke, rather than the fire’s flames, is responsible for 75 percent of all deaths by fire. In addition to physical injury and material damage, fires can cause a host of problems. Psychological distress, monetary damages and loss of pets may come with fires. Loss of irreplaceable personal items is also a concern. Although fires can be devastating, they’re also highly preventable, and smoke alarms and a home fire safety plan are two precautionary measures everyone should take.
Creating an evacuation plan doesn’t have to be complicated. Such a plan can be established in a few minutes and then reinforced through practice every so often to keep everyone fresh on what to do. ~ Begin by assessing the layout of the home. Figure out the two best exits from the home. ~ If your home doesn’t have two doors, invest in a fire ladder so that one of the windows can be a point of exit. ~ Know how to gain access to the exits, including the best path to take to avoid injury. It’s a good idea to consider a few different scenarios. A kitchen adjacent to the upstairs staircase may become engulfed in flames and make exit by way of staircase impossible. Just because you have doors to the outside doesn’t mean they’ll present the best type of exit. ~ Sketch out the layout of the home and the escape plan. Smoke can make it difficult to know up from down. Be sure everyone can reach the exits even if vision is obstructed. Try it with your eyes closed. ~ Check fire alarms routinely, and change batteries at least every year. ~ Make sure windows can be easily opened if they are an exit point. ~ Make note of who will be helping children or the elderly out of the home. ~ Establish a place where the family will meet outdoors. This area should be far
enough away from the home so that everyone will be safe from smoke, flames and falling debris. Fires may ignite fuel explosions, so be sure the meeting spot is a good deal away. ~ Children should be instructed to run to the meeting spot immediately without waiting behind for anyone to catch up. No one should reenter the home after arriving at the meeting spot. ~ Do a few practice runs so that everyone will be accustomed to getting out quickly.
~ While in most cases it is better to escape and let the fire department extinguish a fire, in the event of a small fire, occupants may be able to stanch it with a personal fire extinguisher. Follow the acronym PASS to properly put out the fire. - PULL the pin in the extinguisher. - AIM the nozzle or hose at the base of the flames. - SQUEEZE the trigger. - SWEEP the foam across the fire base; do not just aim in one place. Fire safety is very important. In conjunction with smoke alarms, a fire safety plan can help everyone get out alive.

Final dissolution meeting held KEESEVILLE — Almost 50 people attended the final dissolution study committee public input meeting on Oct. 17. As always, Rondout Consulting founder Tim Weidemann led the meeting, outlining the findings of the study committee and answering questions from the public. Weidemann has been involved in all aspects of the dissolution study, including conducting a fiscal analysis of dissolution options. Before getting into details, Weidemann made clear that the dissolution study report does not recommend that dissolution will or should occur, it only outlines the expected impact of three options for dissolution. Of those three options, option three has widely been viewed as the best choice if dissolution were to occur, and was the focus of the latest meeting. As was the case with previous public meetings, several village residents voiced their concerns over property taxes and how dissolution would affect municipal services now provided by the village, specifically water, sewer and garbage. “If you’re a resident in the village, the short answer is that property taxes will decrease if the village dissolves,” Weidemann said. Average taxable assessed value of property in Keeseville is about $70,000. Weidemann explained that the cost of municipal services would likely increase under dissolution, though. For properties around the average assessment value, the savings on property taxes would likely be greater than the increase in municipal services, resulting in a decrease in total cost. Properties with lower tax-
Ambulance budget to be discussed in Jay
Au SABLE FORKS — The Town of Jay, in conjunction with the Au Sable Forks Volunteer Ambulance Service and the Town of Black Brook, will be hosting a Public Information Session to discuss the proposed 2013 Au Sable Forks Ambulance Budget Contract between the Towns of Jay and Black Brook. The session will be held on Thursday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m. in the Town of Jay Community Center’s gymnasium in Au Sable Forks. The public is highly encouraged to attend. “The Town of Jay Board and Budget Officer have worked diligently over the last several years to keep the average tax levy increase below 2 percent, even during our most stressful times such as Tropical Storm Irene,” Supervisor Randy Douglas said. The Town of Jay is asking for public input at this session. Currently, the Town of Jay’s Preliminary Budget for 2013 has a proposed overall increase of 1.5 percent on the tax levy; below the 2 percent tax cap mandate. However, the Au Sable Forks Ambulance is proposing an increase to their budget of $85,351. This increase would enable them to provide 24/7 coverage to their service area, by hiring the necessary paid staff. Last year, the Au Sable Forks Ambulance Budget was $214,127 and with this years proposed increase, it would be $299,478. This cost would be shared by both the Towns of Jay at approximately 68 percent and Black Brook at approximately 32 percent. “If the Towns of Jay and Black Brook accept the proposed 2013 Au Sable Forks Ambulance Budget, the Town of Jay’s Tax Levy would increase 5 percent versus our proposed Preliminary Budget increase of 1.5 percent,” Douglas said. For example, in the Town of Jay; on an assessed home of $100K, 24/7 Ambulance Service Coverage for 2013 would cost approximately $23 more in taxes annually. The public has expressed a need for 24/7 hour coverage in our area and these figures are what they need to consider and if it’s affordable to them. “Although I feel that 24/7 coverage is very much needed, I believe that it is up to the taxpayers of the district to voice their opinions,” Supervisor Rick Nolan said. “I sincerely hope that all concerned would attend the Public Meeting.” ”24 hour coverage will give us the ability to not only have shorter response times, but also the ability to have Advanced Life Support EMT’s on the scene capable of administering a variety of drug and life saving interventions,” Bill Minogue, Chief of the Au Sable Forks Volunteer Ambulance Service, said. “Without 24 hour coverage, in many cases we would have to rely on Mutual Aid, therefore delaying ALS care. As call volumes continue to rise and volunteerism continues to decline as a result of busy schedules and mandates imposed on volunteers, I feel that 24/7 paid coverage is now a necessity.”
If village residents vote to move forward with dissolution, the village has 30 days to meet to discuss a dissolution plan (Feb. 28 at the latest), and another 180 days after that meeting to approve a proposed plan (sometime in August). A village board meeting to establish a date, time and place for the dissolution vote will be held Oct. 25 at 8 a.m. at the Keeseville Village Hall. The meeting is open to the public.

able assessed values with a high usage of municipal services could see property tax go down a little but also see municipal fees go up a lot, resulting in an increased overall cost. If dissolution were to occur, sewer and water would be divided, with Au Sable taking over sewer and Chester taking over the water. The study also shows that, after dissolution, tax rates could decrease for residents in Chesterfield and Au Sable Forks. Weidemann also noted that, in the wake of dissolution, about 13 village positions would 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. Dissolving a village isn’t free, though. Weidemann estimated that dissolution would cost village residents between $20,000 and $25,000, 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 Department of State’s local government efficiency grant program. A petition, initiated by village resident Nancy Booth and signed by registered voters in the village, was turned in to the village’s town clerk Sept. 25, and will force the topic of dissolution to a villagewide vote. 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.

On the beam, Keswick struggled, scoring a 6.55 which proved to be the difference in the final contest between the top two gymnasts in the section. Lexi Trombley was the top finisher for the Indians, placing third in the all around competition with a combined score of 31.00. She scored an 8.35 in the floor exercise while placing sixth on the beam, fifth on the vault and fourth on the bars.

Football As the first Section VII hardware was handed out Oct. 20, three more titles will be contested this weekend with the Class B, C and D football championship games. The Class D title game has Moriah traveling to Ticonderoga Oct. 26, with the winner facing off against Section X/Class D champion Tupper Lake the following week. The Class C championship game features the lone unbeaten in Section VII, as the Saranac Lake Red Storm will host the AuSable Valley Patriots Oct. 27. The Red Storm, coming off a 41-16 crossover win against Moriah, will be led by the balanced attack of senior quarterback Matt Phelan, who has thrown for 1,198 yards and 15 touchdowns while running for 503 yards and 12 scores. Seth Pickreign has added 325 yards and four scores for the Red Storm, with Kevin Morgan hauling in 25 catches for 576 yards and 23 touchdowns. Mike Burpoe has added 370 receiving yards. The Patriots, facing an already tough task after falling to the Red Storm earlier in the season, will be without the services of junior running back Dillon Savage, who is out for the remainder of the season with an ankle injury. Savage had rushed for 620 yards before the injury, which took place in the team’s crossover game against Ticonderoga Oct. 19. Kodie Simpson has thrown for 481 yards throughout the season, connecting on one touchdown pass to Ridge Perkett, who has 151 receiving yards. The Class B title game will also be a rematch of the 2011 game, as Beekmantown will travel to the Apple Bowl to face Peru Oct. 27. Peru was impressive in a 70-0 defeat of Plattsburgh High in the opening round of the Class B playoffs, while Beekmantown scored a 42-6 win over the Saranac Chiefs. The Indians, whose only loss came in the opening game of the season against Saranac Lake, are led by quarterback Blake Altizer, who led the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference with 1,217 passing yards and 23 touchdowns. Zane Bazzano, Altizer ’s top target, caught 17 balls for 344 yards. Bazzano also led the league in scoring with 13 touchdowns. Bret Boyer added 257 receiving yards, while Tim Remillard led the rushing attack with 589 yards and seven scores. For the Eagles, Zachary Myers has

thrown for 518 yards and 10 touchdowns, with Quenton Barber hauling in 237 yards and two touchdowns and Haydin Fountain has 217 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches. The Eagles also have a trio of rushers, led by Dustin Pickering (416 yards, two TD), Devin Fessette (377 yards, 4 TD) and Michael Guerin (195 yards, 2 TD).

Class C The Lake Placid Blue Bombers earned the top seed in their class with a 9-7-0 regular season and open with a semifinal matchup against the AuSable Valley Patriots (2-11-0) at Plattsburgh High School Friday, Oct. 26, at 5 p.m. In the other semifinal, third-seeded Seton Catholic (4-10-1) will face second seed Northern Adirondack (6-5-0) at 7 p.m. The winners of the two games will face off in the championship game at PHS Thursday, Nov. 1, at 7 p.m. The Lady Blue Bombers also received the top seed in the Class C girls soccer playoffs, as they finished the regular season with a 12-3-1 record. The Blue
Bombers will play the winner of the lone quarterfinal game between fifth seed Seton Catholic (5-10-1) and fourth seed Northern Adirondack (6-9-1) at Plattsburgh High on Saturday, Oct. 27, with a time yet to be determined.

The audacity of laughter F rom the top of Round Mountain in the Adirondacks, it can be easy to mentally drift away from some of the issues plaguing us on a national level. I can sit there all day, watching as the breeze carries clouds over the ridgeline on the Dix Range. It seems so simple, so pure. Those same clouds are rolling in from a southwesterly direction, riding a jet stream that has carried pollutants from areas like Ohio and Illinois and dumped nitric and sulfuric acid rain into Adirondack waterways, often killing the organisms that call them home. It takes me back to the idea of a world community, an idea birthed from the notion that we all share the planet and should therefore be respectful stewards of it. And then I think of something that happened in August. There was a moment during Mitt Romney’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention that I found particularly frightening, a moment that passed quickly but wasn’t completely ignored by the media. Romney said: “President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet...(long pause for laughter from the audience). My promise is to help you and your family.” The last part of that statement, the one about helping families, has become a redundant, ill-defined chant for Romney, and is rendered forgettable due to its lack of coherent details. That first part, the one with the laughter, is what got me, and all I could wonder was: since when did healing the planet, our home, our provider, become funny? Have Americans really become so smug, so self-absorbed that they honestly believe their actions have no effect on the Earth? Science has become increasingly politicized, much to the chagrin of those of us who understand the fundamental need to use knowledge as a basis for making decisions that
will invariably affect our collective future. Simply put, intelligent decisions cannot be made based solely upon Democrat, Republican, Green or Libertarian entanglements. The issue of climate change, of Romney’s risible rising oceans, is commonly dragged into political conversations. Let’s not forget that Romney himself backed up the notion of man-made climate change in 2011. Ah yes, the laughter. And what a distraction it is. Whether you accept climate change or not, there is no denying that we are consistently doing things that are not good for the environment. Pumping smoke into the sky is not good for the air, which we breathe. Pouring chemicals into the ground is not good for the soil, upon which all living things depend for sustenance. Dumping waste materials into our rivers is not good for the water, which we drink. The reality is that people who fight against climate

They're always watching In fact, fish were literally jumping out of the water, slashing and leaping in the pond’s small bays. I immediately recognized the melee as part of an annual ritual, where male brook trout begin to test their strength to complete the spawn. On my first foray to the bay, I caught and released fish on nearly every cast. They were all large, hook-jawed males, resplendent in brilliant red, orange and white spawn colors. They were aggressive and not boat-shy, and they responded eagerly to nearly anything tossed their way. After an hour of pure angling madness, I packed up and headed off to test another nearby pond, with my shotgun at the ready. I was certain to find a grouse! Four ponds and three long carries later, I had still not seen, or even heard a grouse stirring. It was as if the darn birds had evaporated from the local woods overnight. However, as I approached the final pond on my route I

uring the waning days of trout season, I took advantage of the opportunity to combine some grouse hunting with a bit of angling. I spent most of my time traveling alone, while wheeling a pack canoe along some old logging roads that connect a network of small, backwoods trout ponds north of Lake Clear. Earlier in the week, I was startled by grouse that flushed regularly. It seemed the birds were bursting into the air around every bend in the trail. Unfortunately, the only weapons I had available at the time were a 5 weight, flyrod and an ultralight spincasting rod. Neither was of much use, even though the grouse often took to the air within striking distance. Since the grouse appeared so plentiful, I packed along a shotgun the following day, in hopes of mixing a little fowl with my fish. Of course, the easiest method to assure there will be neither fish nor fowl available to a sportsman is to carry along the proper implements to harvest both. I probably would have had better luck with a slingshot! On my first trip, which was about a half-mile portage, no grouse were flushed. However, as I approached the pond’s put-in, the trout were in the air.
change are really fighting against pollution, against pouring toxic chemicals into our air and waterways, against farming practices that are detrimental to the quality of the food we raise. These are all things that enter our bodies at some point, and therefore determine our own health. People who advocate for different ways of thinking are not trying to destroy jobs or thrust out country backward—they are trying to create a dialog where we use scientific evidence to influence decisions whose outcomes will ultimately affect all of us. They are trying to show us that we have other options, ways to provide energy for our nation beyond our current, yet archaic, burn-drill-mine mentality. Air pollution, cancer, toxic waste, tainted produce and meat aren’t quite as funny after they’ve infiltrated your own personal chemical makeup. Neither is acid rain funny, as we’ve seen in the Adirondacks. If you don’t want it in your own backyard, why put it in someone else’s? There is a fundamental core behind environmental activism that I think we can all get behind—a need to protect our greatest resource, the planet. You know, the one we live on, the one our children will inherit. My mountain perch can only teach me so much about the people I share the earth with. The rest is up to them.
heard a bird flush in the thick spruce forest. I grabbed my shotgun, and left my boat behind as I slipped quietly into the nearby woods. Up ahead, I heard a rustling and as I crouched to peer through the tangle of limbs and thick cover; I had a sense I was being watched. Most woodland wanderers have experienced a similar situation; especially deer hunters who discover a big buck had been eyeballing them as the white flag disappears into the distance. It is a difficult sensation to describe, but I just knew something had its eyes on me. Finally, I gave up on the understory and as I slowly stood up, my eyes focused on the observer. Perched on a limb, less than 20 away, was the largest Barred Owl that I had ever seen. He rotated his head around, and glared at me. I flushed with embarrassment, as I had been sneaking through the forest, while under constant observation. It was to be the only flush of the day. With my cover blown, I stood up to face my winged observer, as I fumbled for a camera. Fortunately, the old owl was willing to pose, and I was able to capture several nice shots. Later, while reviewing the images, it appeared the owl was sporting a wide smirk across its beak. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.
Man harvests piebald deer with bow near Crane Pond Keith O’Connor, a veteran bowhunter who has taken 23 bucks over the past 33 years with a bow, harvested his first piebald deer on Oct. 10. O’Connor said he was amazed to see the buck coming down the runway at Antwine Hill behind Crane Pond and nearly missed his opportunity for a shot out of excitement and sheer amazement at the sight of the multicolored buck. But he calmed himself and stopped him in a shooting lane he had brushed out earlier in the summer, and dropped the buck with a wellplaced shot. The piebald condition is caused by a genetic defect that occurs in less than 1 percent of the deer population. It is characterized by brown and white spots, similar to a pinto horse. Some deer, like Ethan’s, are nearly all white. In comparison, albinism is the condition where an animal has no pigmentation at all. A true albino can be told from a totally white pie-bald deer, because its eyes will be pink. This is because — with no pigmentation — the eye color
comes from the blood vessels in and behind the eye. In wild populations approximately 1 in 50,000 whitetail deer are born albinos. Given the population in New York of about 1 million animals, that would mean only about 20 albinos exist in the wild.
At a frequency of less than 1 percent of the herd, piebald deer makeup about 9,000 or 10,000 animals of the 1 million deer in New York State. According to DEC spokesman Dave Winchell, DEC receives reports of one or two piebald deer being taken by hunters in the Adirondacks each year.
Keith O’Connor, pictured above, took this piebald buck with a bow Oct. 10.
