Taxpayers speak out against 26% hike

Leadership search continues

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Members of the community got their chance to address the Essex County Board of Supervisors Monday, Nov. 26, with many asking members to reconsider the proposed three-year budgeting plan.

"Over a three-year period that plan, if left alone, would equate to a 67-percent tax increase over those three years," Ticonderoga Town Councilman Jeff Cook said. "Count that out for the multi-million-dollar homes and you wonder what would happen with those."

Cook also said that he felt any payroll cuts needed to be made for non-union employees, not just by looking at union employees.

"We need to start thinking about everybody, not just

Former N. Elba supervisor passes LPCS seeks new set of candidates keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — The former head of the Essex County Board of Supervisors died this past week.

Matthew B. Clark Jr., 85, died on Friday, Nov. 23, the day after Thanksgiving, at his home in Lake Placid. Clark served the town of North Elba as the town clerk from 1954 until 1981, when he ran and won election to the position of town supervisor.

Clark was the Chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisors from 1990 to 1991.

Current North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi offered a moment of silence at the beginning of the Nov. 26 county Ways and Means Committee meeting to pay respect to Clark and later offered a resolution of condolence to the family.

According to his obituary, Clark was one of the figures in the negotiation of the con-

Group to perform SARANAC LAKE — The United Methodist Church of Saranac Lake is pleased to announce a concert featuring the St. Petersburg Men’s Ensemble of Kiirill Sokolov, Sergey Shapinsky, Andrei Volikov, and Vadim Smanser, will be performing Russian sacred and secular folk songs Dec. 3, at 7 p.m. in the church sanctuary.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased prior to the concert by contacting the church office 891-3473 or at the door.

Nutcracker Continued from page 1 time out of their otherwise busy schedules to perfect their moves by rehearsing almost daily.

For Schonbek, it’s easy to justify devoting that much time—she has had a passion for the art form since she was a child and watching her students evolve is a major component of that passion.

“It’s the sheer number of hours of having to work to perfect things that aren’t necessarily natural for your body,” Schonbek said.

“It’s a real balance between the athleticism and the finer points.”

An advanced training schedule for a ballerina is a full-time job. Between daily classes and rehearsals, a dancer can easily net more than 30 hours a week in practice time.

But the practice isn’t just about stretching and dancing—instructors analyze every motion and every position, and constantly make corrections.

“No matter how old you get you always have someone mentoring you,” Schonbek said. “The rehearsal process is all about being corrected.”

Teagan Plimpton, a 17-year-old senior at Peru High School who is playing five roles in the Nutcracker, can relate.

“You don’t ever get everything the first time you try it,” Plimpton said.

Besides school work and picking a college

tract between the town and the Olympic Regional Development Authority, which resulted in the U.S. Olympic Training Center site in Lake Placid.

Clark was born Dec. 21, 1926, in Lake Placid, the son of Matthew Benjamin and Beatrice Maude (Lengfeld) Clark. He was married to Janet Carol Jacques on Jan. 1, 1956 in Lake Placid.

He was a 1946 graduate of Lake Placid Central School and from the American Academy of Embalming and Mortuary Research Inc. in New York City. A bobsledding accident claimed one of his legs but did not stop him from being involved in area sports.

Clark served as president of the Lake Placid Volunteer Ambulance Service and the Junior Chamber of Commerce. He assisted with the North Elba Community Christmas Fund and helped to organize the Literacy Volunteers and was a member and trustee of the Elks Club for 57 years.

He was honored with Liberty Bell Award from the Essex County Bar Association in 1978, the MacDougal Award for long and devoted service in 1999, along with induction to the Lake Placid Hall of Fame in 1991.

A funeral service was held Wednesday, Nov. 28 at the Adirondack Community Church in Lake Placid.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Lake Placid Volunteer Ambulance Service, P.O. Box 107, Lake Placid, N.Y. 12946; North Elba Christmas Fund, c/o Denise Fredericks, Town Hall, 2693 Main St., Lake Placid, N.Y. 12946; or High Peaks Hospice, 19 Church St., Saranac Lake, N.Y. 12983. to attend after she graduates, Plimpton attends 2-hour-long ballet classes and practices that can last more than two hours several times a week, and has attended summer intensives, an intense summer camp for ballerinas.

Having danced since she was three, it’s safe to say it’s an intrinsic part of her life, like eating, sleeping and breathing.

“I like expressing myself through music,” Plimpton said. “It’s totally worth the work.”

Staying with ballet hasn’t always been easy, though. Besides the time it demands, Plimpton has never had full range of motion with her left hand, making it difficult for her to pull off some of the subtleties of certain ballet moves.

Her solution was to learn to work around the problem, a methodology that has paid off.

“When I first did the Nutcracker, I started off as a Bonbon,” Plimpton explained. “This year I’m playing North Wind, Chinese, Candy Cane, Arabian and Dew Drop.”

Plimpton is excited to play so many roles, but she’s even more excited to share the stage with Therese Wendler, a professional ballerina from New York City who will play the Sugar Plum Fairy and Queen of the North Winds in the Snow variation in this year ’s performance.

Wendler has been performing the Nutcracker since she was seven, and said the show—with its dancing mice and spinning snowflakes— hasn’t lost its power for her.

for vacant principal positon LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid Central School District is continuing the search for a principal for the Middle-High School.

Recently, the district concluded a fourmonth search process for a Middle-High School Principal, and unfortunately it did not yield a leader.

After advertising throughout the State and reviewing approximately forty applications, a team of mixed stakeholders interviewed seven candidates. The district chose one finalist for an interview with mixed stakeholder teams, contacted the finalist for an interview and was notified, via email, that the finalist was withdrawing from consideration while thanking the district for its efforts.

The district remains committed to hiring the best possible leader it can for the high school as new initiatives such as those contained in Race-To-The-Top and the formation of a district plan in response to the dis-

trict's designation as a focus district will demand a very skilled and effective leader.

The interview team will meet to debrief the initial search process to determine if any changes are needed. In the meantime, Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Randy Richards, recommended to the Board of Education that the district continues with the two interim principals at the Middle and High School and re-opens the search in April 2013 with the goal of having the new leader in place and transitioning at the end of June 2013.

The Lake Placid Central School Board of Education will need to decide on a leadership model for the Middle/High school to maintain the traditional Principal and Assistant Principal positions for students in grades 6-12 or adopt the current leadership plan being used with the interim principals which features one principal for the Middle School 6-8 and another High School Principal for students in grades 9-12.

Adirondack Christmas show set LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid Center for the Arts invites you to celebrate the holidays Adirondack style on Friday, Dec. 14, at 7 p.m. The twelfth annual An Adirondack Christmas concert will feature Dan Duggan, Roy Hurd, Peggy Lynn and Frank Orsini.

Tom Hodgson and Henry Jankiewicz return as special guests. These celebrated Adirondack musicians join together to delight audiences of all ages with a special program that has quickly become an Adirondack holiday tradition. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for students and seniors, and $6 for children under 12. Call 523-2512 for tickets or LakePlacidArts.org for more information.

“I think it’s the music,” Wendler said.

“Tchaikovsky is absolutely beautiful. After all these years, there are still parts that build up emotionally in the music.”

As a child, Wendler began taking ballet lessons after her mother saw her walking around the house on her tip-toes. At first she didn’t care for it, but performing changed her mind.

“Performing is a natural high,” Wendler said. “Here I am, showing you what I can do—it takes it to another level.”

Wendler explained that different roles require different actions, which also takes the art form to a different level for her.

A villain’s hands are positioned differently than a non-villain’s, and the motions are stark, sharp and demanding.

In contrast, as the Queen of the North Winds she must use her body to emulate the movement of snow and how it relates to the occurrence of a snow storm that builds in intensity with the music.

Since the show has been co-choreographed

by Rebecca Kelly, whom Wendler has worked with for nine years, she and the North Country dancers will be on the same page for their

first full-cast rehearsal, which will happen just days before opening night.

“The nice thing is, I’ve worked with some of these students before, so I’m not a total stranger coming in,” Wendler said. “It’s inspiring for me. I want to encourage them to dance and enjoy it.”

Wendler added that she hopes that, in working with young ballet students, she can show them it is possible to become a professional ballerina, so long as they possess passion and are willing to commit to the full-time hours the art requires.

“To be a ballerina you have to have a strong mind and be strong in yourself,” Wendler said. “Ballet is not an easy world to be in, but if you love what you do it will come out in your art.”

The Lake Placid Performances will take place at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts on 17 Algonquin Drive in Lake Placid on Saturday, Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 2 at 1 p.m. Ticket prices are $12 for children (ages12 and under); $15 for seniors and students and $18 for adults. For reservations or ticket information, call the LPCA at (518) 5232512 or visit LakePlacidArts.org.

High Peaks Hospice helps people cope with death and dying

By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — Hospice care isn’t about giving up, it’s about making a decision—a decision that can define how the final days of a person’s life will be lived.

“The misconception is that hospice care is about dying or about giving up, and it’s not,” said Ingrid Roemischer, Development and Outreach Coordinator of High Peaks Hospice. “The patient is who we take care of. It’s still their life, it’s still their choice.”

When a doctor gives someone six months or less to live, they often have the option of staying in a hospital and receiving treatment. Hospice caregivers, like those who work and volunteer for High Peaks Hospice, can offer the patient, and the patient’s family, other options.

“A lot of people want to be home their last days, and we help them do that,” Roemischer said, adding: “It’s care, it’s not a cure.”

What Roemischer means is that the purpose of hospice is to offer support and to make a person’s last days as comfortable as possible.

High Peaks Hospice staff members become as involved as the family, and the patient, would like them to be, and will come to a person’s home, nursing home or hospital.

Staff can visit daily, or weekly, depending on a patient’s wishes, and can perform tasks that range from simple conversation to helping take care of the patient.

It’s what Roemischer refers to as the circle of care. In the center is the patient, and then the primary caregiver and the patient’s family. Around that is hospice, and then the doctor.

The bulls-eye is always the patient, the focal point of all factions of hospice care, and everyone with a diagnosis of six months or less to live is eligible.

Montbriand took care of his mother for twoand-a-half years in Hague with his sister and her husband.

After his family contacted High Peaks Hospice to assist in taking care of his mother toward the end of her life, he immediately began to see the value in hospice care.

“If you go Carol Finke, Hospice Care Coordinator for the High Peaks Hospice Warren County ofthrough that kind fice, signing in CEU participants at a High Peaks Hospice bereavement workshop. of experience you “We do not turn people away based on age, realize how physically, mentally and spiritually gender, race, religion, or ability to pay,” Roemis- exhausting it can be,” Montbriand said. cher said.

Where the

Skatepark sites named SARANAC LAKE — The Saranac Lake SkatePark Committee has prioritized their choices for the site of the equipment formerly owned by the Town of North Elba.

In a letter to the Board of Trustees, the committee, comprised of Lindy Ellis, Deb Harrison, Gail Meyer, Rich Shapiro, Jon Vinograd and Peggy Wiltberger reported that the William Morris park was the best fit for the skatepark according to their research.

According to the letter, each member of the committee ranked six sites from 1 (best) to 6 based on the essential criteria of walking distance from schools and residential areas via a safe route; open and visible location providing passive supervisor; a location that encourages multiple uses; and accessibility to other village services, like bathrooms and convenience stores.

William Morris Park received a ranking of 1.33 from the committee, followed by Ampersand Park (1.83), the old village office lot (2.83), the lot behind the Community Bank (4), Pelkey Lane site (4.33) and the Civic Center (6).

The committee said the skate park ranked the lowest unanimously and therefore would not make an appropriate site.

While William Morris Park received the highest marks, a group made up of two trustees, Community Development Director Jeremy Evans, Village Manager John Sweeney, DPW Superintendent Robert Martin and the committee came to “overwhelming concensus,” that Ampersand Park was the most appropriate.

The group also talked about Pelkey Lane, but said there would have to be a lot of work put in on the part of the village to make the site workable for the park.

briand said. ““The quality of life issue becomes dominant. What I want for them is a peaceful death and as much family support as possible.”

The nature of Montbriand’s volunteerism means he often gets to know people who are close to death, and there are emotions involved in that which can be difficult to cope with.

Understanding the process of death helps him get through it, as does allowing for time to grieve.

“You don’t really know about dying until you get there,” Montbriand said. “We’re here to go through the mourning process, too.”

Jane Turlouw is also a volunteer for High Peaks Hospice, but she specializes in bereavement— helping family and friends of the deceased go through the mourning process.

After taking a post graduate class called children and death, Turlouw found she was interested in the topic and went back to school to get a graduate degree in counseling.

She has been a part of hospice care ever since.

For many grieving is a personal process, one that Turlouw approaches by only being as involved as the people need her to be. A part of that is letting them know that the pain they’re feeling is normal.

“You help people grieve by listening to their story—letting them vent, letting them talk, letting them relive the experience time and time again,” Turlouw said. “It’s helping them normalize their new life, their life without this partner.”

Turlouw worked in hospice in New Jersey for 20 years, and volunteered for High Peaks Hospice after moving to the area.

She said she loves the work, and that the people she’s helping have had a profound impact on her life.

“I feel that the people I came to know have given me more than I’ve given them,” Turlouw said.

Viewpoint

The season of giving is upon us It’s a Charlie Brown Christmas I T

he stores are draped in color, the golden tunes of Bing Crosby ring through the air and houses are aglow with decorations. The holiday season is once again here.

With the season comes an increased concern for those around us who may need a hand. Most all of the holidays we celebrate in the final two months of the season are based on the tradition of helping those less fortunate.

One place that sees an increased need during this time are food pantries and emergency food shelves. There is a combination of factors that lead to this need, as families start to face colder temperatures and the decision of whether or not to use their paychecks to provide warmth or nourishment.

Not only are fuel prices higher than they used to be, but now food prices have also seen a rise with recent drought and market conditions.

We’re not talking about providing the extra’s here, but the basic food needed to maintain a proper diet from day to day. In a recent interview with the directors of the Willsboro and Essex food pantries, they said that they were making multiple trips up and down the Willsboro town hall stairs each day to get packages from the pantry to families in need. For them, a savior showed up in the form of two local businesses, as Champlain National Bank and NYCO combined to contribute $3,200 to the pantry. We commend these organizations for their service to the community.

We also commend those who contributed throughout the region during the recent Scouting For Food and U.S. Postal Service drives. Postal workers collected food to be sent to the New York City area, where the need is great after the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Cub and Boy Scouts contributed to local food pantries, collecting on Saturday morning, Nov. 17, youth gave their precious Saturday morning time to help others. If you would like to help these pantries, contact your local town hall for hours and details.

Another way to help local food pantries is by stopping by and watching the annual CP Rail Holiday Train pull into town. The train will be coming through Friday Nov. 30, and making stops in Whitehall (2:30 p.m.), Ticonderoga (4 p.m.), Port Henry (5:45 p.m.),

Plattsburgh (8:15 p.m.) and Rouses Point (10 p.m.). Visitors are asked to bring nonperishable food items to the train station, then stay to enjoy music, events and a beautifully decorated train.

There are also those who are helping to make sure that families can provide gifts to their children in tough economic times.

Some may say that if you can’t afford gifts, then go without; or gifts are not what make the season. While gifts may not make the season, try to put yourself back in the shoes of a young child returning to school after the holiday break or seeing friends for the first time after Christmas morning. How would it feel to sit there and listen to all of your friends talking about their shiny new toy or show up dressed in new clothes while there was nothing under your tree? Not a pleasant thought.

The need continues to grow. In Elizabethtown, teachers at ELCS have found that their donations are no longer enough to fuel their Secret Santa Society, and so they are seeking the help of the community. They are accepting donations of toys, clothes and money through Dec. 14.

There are also those churches who are taking part in the Operation Christmas Child Program. Denton Publications and Families First of Essex County are partnering for the fifth annual Operation Boxed Smile Program. There is the Adopt-a-Family program at CVPH, Toys For Kids, the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program and many more.

Then, there are the familiar, “Red Kettles,” that accompany the annual American Red Cross donation drive. There are many who volunteer their time, standing in the cold, ringing a bell and giving a smile to everyone who passes by. We ask that you return the smile and some change any chance you get, whether one time or many.

Through these many chances to give, we can all find an appropriate way to help our neighbors and help provide everyone with a truly happy holidays.

I fear we will continue to see more of these challenges to remove all types of community support for any activity with a religious overtone, going against the long held beliefs this country was founded upon.

Students at Terry Elementary School in Little Rock were invited to a performance of the show at Agape Church, a non-denominational Christian Church. Reportedly teachers informed parents in letters sent home that a school bus would shuttle children to and from the show, which would be performed on a school day.

“We're not saying anything bad about Charlie Brown,” said Anne Orsi, vice president of the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers, “The problem is that it’s got religious content and it’s being performed in a religious venue and that doesn’t just blur the line between church and state, it oversteps it entirely.”

According to the letter the teachers sent home, the students would need to pay $2 to cover the expense of the bus ride but students were not required to attend the production, according to the school district. A spokeswoman for the Little Rock School District said the district did not endorse any particular faith or encourage any specific religious activity.

One parent contacted the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers after receiving the letter.

The parent, who did not want to be named, said that although she could choose not to allow her child to attend, she was letting her daughter go to the performance for fear the girl could be singled out.

For a nation founded on religious freedom, a nation that has become more tolerant of many views and changes in society it seems odd to me to find religion under so much fire today. But it’s clear the nonbelievers and atheists have chosen to draw a line in the sand. Instead of celebrating the freedom to believe as each individual sees fit, we find a group putting up barriers to the outward beliefs of others. These

groups apparently want to change the One Nation under God to something very different.

Dan Alexander Recent studies Thoughts from have shown that Behind the Pressline while 46 million adults are unaffiliated to a specific religion they are religious or spiritual in some way. Two-thirds of them say they believe in God (68%). More than half say they often feel a deep connection with nature and the earth (58%), while more than a third classify themselves as “spiritual” but not “religious” (37%), and one-in-five (21%) say they pray every day. In addition, most religiously unaffiliated Americans think that churches and other religious institutions benefit society by strengthening community bonds and aiding the poor.

With few exceptions, the unaffiliated say they are not looking for a religion. Overwhelmingly, they think that religious organizations are too concerned with money and power, too focused on rules and too involved in politics.

It’s been said that when things look down, people look up and seek the help and comfort of their God. It will be interesting to see how these challenges to religion and the customs that will be playing out throughout the upcoming Christmas season will be further affected this year. A number of nativity events have been shuttered as a result of legal threats, but as we’ve seen throughout history, efforts to restrict certain practices or beliefs tends to have the reverse affect. It’s unfortunate that we go through these challenging periods of time, but like so many things we experience in life it all seems to be for a purpose in the end. Those of faith and those who chose a different path will hopefully look back on this time period as some type of turning point and however you chose to view these events, I hope we can all agree the discussions and outcomes will serve to strengthen our nation, our beliefs and our ability to be tolerant of each other.

Congratulations Denton!

Leifheit art to be displayed

Dear Denton Publications: I know that you are reluctant to blow your own horn so I would like to congratulate you on receiving the Senator Paul Simon New York State Friend of Foreign Language Award from the New York State Association of Foreign Language Teachers. Your decision to include French language lessons in the monthly issues of Kidsville News show that you recognize the importance of teaching French in North Country Schools.

From the beginning, you worked diligently to put forward a quality product which could be used by parents and elementary teachers who have little no background in French. To do so at a time when French programs are declining in New York State has given a well needed shot in the arm to the promotion of French as viable, alive language.

Merci du fond de mon cœur, David B. Graham Immediate Past President, Pays du nord Chapter, American Association of Teachers of French, Past President, New York State Association of Foreign Language Teachers, Morrisonville

About Hospice To the Valley News: No one wants to die but it will happen to all of us. Few of us think about it much until we face circumstances where it can’t be avoided.

Most of us will fight to the death to extend our lives, as though this is a fight we can win. The end of life shouldn’t be a fight. It’s not about winning and losing. It’s about the natural course of events; without death there can be no life.

It is a sign of wisdom and maturity to know of one’s mortality. It is a sign of courage and of humility to know we don’t live forever. If we are destined to have advance knowledge of our death, to face a terminal illness, High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care can help.

As people face their deaths, their greatest fear is not of dying; it is of dying in pain. For many it is the fear of dying alone, or among strangers, or away from home, friends and loved ones. November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to raise awareness about the compassionate care that hospice and palliative care provides.

Research tells us that people who enter hospice, who receive pain management, who receive spiritual counseling, who get the opportunity to talk about their feelings related

to dying, live longer than people who receive aggressive medical care until their deaths, and report greater comfort and peacefulness. Is longer life a guarantee for everyone? No, but it is more likely than not.

The hospice team provides expert medical care to keep patients comfortable and able to enjoy time with loved ones. The hospice team answers questions, offers advice on what to expect, and helps families with the duties of being a caregiver. The team also provides emotional and spiritual support for the entire family.

Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid in most states, and by most insurance plans and HMOs. Hospice care is provided in the home, nursing home assisted living facilities and long term care centers.

Hospice care is available to people of all ages, with any illness. Hospice professionals and trained volunteers will ask you what’s important and listen to what you say. They make your wishes a priority.

If you or a loved one is facing a serious or life-limiting illness, the time to find out more about hospice and palliative care is right now. You can bet your life on it.

Paul S. Benveniste, Ph.D. Board President, High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care

DOT chooses plan for road work

SL man arrested for making false shooting report

TUPPER LAKE — The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), after consideration of public input, has selected a preferred alternative for the reconstruction of State Routes 3 and 30 in the Village of Tupper Lake.

The selected alternative will utilize the existing highway footprint rather than pursue development of a new alignment, which would have significant impacts on existing properties and businesses in the village.

The selected alternative involves the reconstruction of Wawbeek Avenue, Park Street, Mill Street and Lake Street from Pleasant Avenue to Mill Street.

Minor improvements will be made to the remainder of Lake Street as part of the project to accommodate traffic using Lake Street as a detour around on going work. The project will also include improvements to the water and sewer lines along the length of the project.

By Katherine Clark

Police believe wounds self-inflicted

The $12.7 million project is expected to go bid in October of 2014, and begin construction in the spring of 2015. It is anticipated to be a two year project.

Online resource center up TUPPER LAKE — The North Country Regional Volunteer Center located at the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. has established an online volunteer resource center that serves Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties.

There will be training on how organizations, agencies, and municipalities can use the free volunteer match website. The training will take place at The Wild Center located at 45 Museum Dr. in Tupper Lake on Dec. 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be a free lunch served while discussing the volunteer data base and volunteer recruitment strategies.

SARANAC LAKE — Police arrest the Saranac Lake who was shot on the train trestle for making a false report to police.

At 9 a.m. on Nov. 27, police arrested the victim, 55-year-old man William J. Martin of Saranac Lake. Martin was charged with thirddegree falsely reporting an incident and making a punishable false statement. Both charges are class A misdemeanors.

“Information has developed that has led us to believe the incident didn’t pan out as it was reported to us,” Village Police Chief Bruce Nason said.

On Nov. 26 Nason said several sources who knew Martin helped them determine that the gun used in the crime, a .22 caliber rifle, which police found under the train trestle where Martin was shot, belonged to Martin.

As of Nov. 27, Nason could not say if police

believe Martin’s wounds were intentional or accidental.

“All information we have developed supports it was a self-inflicted gun shot wound and that is all we can say at this time,” Nason said.

The charges against Martin stem from a Nov. 20 incident in which Martin called police at 6:45 p.m. and reported he had been robbed and shot by two white males wearing dark-colored parkas on the train trestle near Pine Street and Broadway.

Martin said the two suspects called to him by name and that a conversation ensued for a few minutes before one of the suspects pulled out a gun and demanded the victim give him what money he had.

Martin reported he pushed the gun away and as he did, he was shot in the left shoulder area.

Martin was taken to Adirondack Medical Center and then to Fletcher Allen in Burlington for surgery. Nason said the bullet appeared to have missed any vital organs. Martin has since been released from the hospital and has returned to Saranac Lake.

the union," he said. "There are places to be cut and there can be cuts. There are things that are not mandated."

"I understand that some of our taxes are the lowest in the state and I am grateful for that, but couple them with school taxes that are some of the highest in the county and we are paying a lot," Harold Akey of Jay said. "The fiscal crisis that Essex County and the nation is in, we have to look at those payrolls and potential cuts."

"In my extended family, I have someone that lost his home because he could not pay the taxes and the mortgage," Diane Kirby of Wilmington said. "I do not know what the answers are, but these are families that are losing their homes. You can't put another 26 percent on the backs of these people. We need people to stay and live here in this area. How can we do this, but we cannot raise taxes."

Kirby also placed blame on the state for making a fiscally strapped tax base pay for unfunded mandates.

"I don't understand why the state does this to a county that is as poor as this one is," Kirby said.

Supervisors also got their chance to comment on the budget.

"I have watched the papers and read the emails and there is no one here that would pass a budget of this size in their own town," said Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston. "There are no easy choices, but 26-percent is not the way to go. It is going to take all of us pulling together to make it there."

"We have an obligation to make sure that we have made every effort to scrutinized all of the departments requests and considerations," North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said.

Board Chairman ad Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas said that his peers have been working hard over the budget season.

"For the last few weeks, we have been sharing new ideas with each other," Douglas said. "This board is discussing a lot of options to give to Mr. Palmer to put into the final budget.

We are trying to find some sort of fix and compromise to help everyone and their needs. It is a very strenuous, stressful process."

County Manager Daniel Palmer started the meeting by outlining the preliminary budget as the process that went into it.

"We have to develop a plan to get us to a balanced budget or we are always going to be faced with these kinds of increases," Palmer said. "I think that it is a balanced approach to get where we should be and accomplishes two key things. It arrives at a balanced budget by 2015 and it preserves approximately $5 million in fund balance."

Palmer again addressed the fact that the Horace Nye Home will be on the county budget for 2013. Coupled with state mandated increases, Palmer said that the board will have a tough time finding any more cuts.

"The home and state mandate account for 24 of the 26 percent tax levy increase," he said. "This county has gone through this budget and paired out every single item that we could from this budget and kept services at near the same level the whole time."

Palmer said that the sale contract was close for the nursing home, but there was still a long process the county had to go through with the state before the transfer of the property could be completed.

"The contract for sale has not occurred. We are awful close to having a signed contract, probably within a week or so," Palmer said. "But we have to also get a certificate of need from the state to transfer the property, and that process will take a year. So we have to budget for the Horace Nye Nursing Home."

Palmer said that the net budget for the county had also dropped around $700,00 over the past six years.

"A net budget sorts out your total appropriations and your total revenues," he said.

Palmer also reiterated that the county tax rate has been one of the lowest in the state, adding that they are still under the property tax levy cap even though they feel they have been responsible.

"Essex County with a $2 tax rate is subject to the same criteria as a county that has a tax rate that is $7 to $10," he said. "I am not picking on them, but Clinton County routinely meets the cap and gets a pat on the head with a rate that is three times higher than the one we have. Tax rates throughout the state range upwards of $10-12 per thousand."

Palmer said that the public hearing would be reopened for further comment on Dec. 10.

"Honestly, we want to hear from the public," Douglas said.

"We hope that the budget will be voted on after the Dec. 10 hearing," Palmer added. The county budget must be adopted

by Dec. 20.

‘Tera Nova’ descibed as stunning, amazing

By Kristin Dominic

denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — "In the winter of 1911-1912, five Englishmen and five Norwegians raced each other to the bottom of the earth. Only the five Norwegians returned. This is the story of the Englishmen."

Thus starts the gripping play, “Terra Nova.” As the opening quote suggests this is a show that will grab you from the beginning. Soon you'll feel the icy wind of the Arctic whipping against your face, feel fear tighten its grip on your throat, feel like you have been thrown straight into the heart of the South Pole.

Terra Nova is a masterfully written play about the human condition, survival, and the courage one must find when staring into the icy face of adversity.

those in our car shuddered at the $22 adult ticket price, regretting that we no longer had valid student i.d's. None-the-less we tightened the belts on our wallets and crossed our fingers, hoping for a show that was worth spending our weekly grocery money on.

The moment the lights came up we knew that we had made the right choice, ramen be damned, this was a great show!

The actors portrayed their characters so well that you forgot that you were sitting in a theatre. There was no show, only a vast expanse of frigid Arctic snow and the five members of Robert Scott's fated expedition to reach the South pole.

Christopher McGovern (Captain Robert Falcon Scott) commanded the audience's complete attention through out the entirety of the show, and I've never

An honest opinion

It is a cold, dark North Country night. I find myself in an un-heated car with my friends and quite significant other. Where were we headed? Pendragon Theatre.

Located in the village of Saranac Lake the Pendragon Theatre is the Adirondack's premier professional year-round theatre. We pulled into the quaint venue and headed inside to purchase our tickets (which we reserved ahead of time to guarantee our admission). Being used to seeing mainly college theatrical productions

cried more earnestly during any performance than I did while watching Matthew C. Eick (Evans). The entire cast did an amazing job, looking around in the audience I saw many people moved to tears and come the end of the show there was an instant standing ovation.

The bottom line

The show was stunning, the actors were amazing, the ticket prices were affordable, the snacks were awesomely priced, and at the end of the night you left feeling the full impact of what quality professional theatre can bring to a person's life.

Photographer's Notebook gives it five stars and a standing ovation!

Occupancy tax Continued from page 1 "Both Clinton and Franklin County are pursuing a 5 percent tax," Preston said. "Even though I know that there will be some businesses that will not like that, I think we should look at that."

Preston also said that, instead of putting the added revenue into the general fund, it should be put into a specific dedicated fund, which he said would be broken down to help fund the fish hatchery (25 percent), tourism product development fund (25 percent), winter shoulder (off-season) marketing program (46 percent) and tourism-related county travel.

"Don't get me wrong, that does not mean a total takeover of county travel," he said. "This should not go into the general fund, in my opinion."

County Attorney Daniel Manning said any change in the occupancy tax rate would have to be done by home rule and an amendment to the local law because the current law states that the occupancy tax rate cannot go above 3 percent.

"We can do this, but it has to be done by home rule request," Manning said. "The way that our law is written right now, we cannot exceed 3 percent."

Manning said that it was not out of the ordinary to see a 5 percent occupancy tax in a county, but 3 and 4 percent are more popular.

"Most of the counties have occupancy tax," Manning said.

"Three and 4 percent are the most common, but 5 percent is pretty common. Other counties allow for 50 percent of the money to be used for tourism and 50 percent to go into the general fund or for other reasons."

Fifteen of the supervisors voted along with Preston to amend the resolution and then pass it onto the full board meeting Tuesday, Dec. 4.

"I am a firm believer that we need to put this money back into tourism," Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said. "We have not been able to get even a tiny percentage of the occupancy tax back that is supposed to be available for these smaller chambers. We need to have this money not just in Lake Placid, but out in Newcomb and these other towns that feed into Lake Placid."

“As we get more occupancy tax revenue and more tourism dollars coming into the area, we can get more money off of the backs of the property tax,” Preston said.

County Manager Daniel Palmer cautioned that with more tourists would come more need for infrastructure work and more stress on the general fund of the budget.

"Tourists also generate general fund costs," Palmer said.

"It is a general fund cost involved in all of that as well."

Two supervisors, Willsboro's Ed Hatch and North Elba's Roby Politi, voted against the measure.

"It should go to the general fund," Hatch said. "You are going to take away control of the board and I feel that with the budget issues that we are facing now, this would be better used in the general fund."

"Lake Placid funds 85 percent of all this money," Politi said. "There will be no way that I ever support an increase in the bed tax for the money to be used in the general fund.

Until I know clearly how the money is going to be used, I will not vote on this either."

Every little bit helps.

We encourage you to spend $10 on the 10th, $15 on the 15th, and $20 on the 20th of each month.

1. Promotes foot traffic: especially important during the holiday season.

2. Creates a bigger impact: one study shows that communities keep $68 for every $100 spent locally, while they keep $43 when $100 is spent at a chain store.

3. Shopping locally creates and preserves jobs: local businesses hire local people.

4. Provides the best value: when you look at what you get for your dollar, plus durability, it pays to shop locally.

5. Creates less pollution: local businesses generally use less land and resources and less travel in the area reduces air pollution.

6. Enables less taxes: strong local businesses increase the local tax base, thereby decreasing the need to further tax residents while increasing the revenue for local police, fire and infrastructure.

7. Builds a sense of community: in an everincreasingly fast-paced world, the desire to shop in places where everyone knows your name is stronger than ever.

8. Establishes one-of-a-kind character: every city wants to stand out with their own personality. Local business helps communities shape their perception to the outside world.

9. Stimulates area vitality: nothing succeeds like success.

10. Local business owners shop locally themselves: businesses need everything from supplies to workday lunches, and local attorneys, accountants, restaurants, office supplies and more supply their need. They also tend to carry locally-produced goods, which further spurs small manufacturing and local artisan work that national chains will not take on.

LAKE PLACID BLUE BOMBERS Depth, experience key for Lake Placid boys hockey team in 2012-13 LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid varsity hockey team will look to a strong and experienced core of players skating into the 201213 season.

“Lake Placid returns 18 players to its 2012'13 24-man roster,” head coach Keith Clark said. “With five seniors, Eddie Kane, Keegan Barney, RJ Reid, Ryan Meyer and Kyle Shipman; and four juniors, Dillon Savage, Shane McNierney, Elias Smith and Troy Jacques, the Blue Bombers are hopeful of having a balanced attack.”

Kane returns as the teams top offensive threat, having scored 31 points in 2011-12.

Kane will be joined by Barney and Savage as team captains, but will have to wait for Savage to return from an injury suffered while playing football for the AuSable Valley Patriots.

“The team has good team speed and is balanced from the net out,” Clark said. “In what could be a well-balanced CVAC, the Bombers are clearly hoping to contend for the Section VII title and build upon last year ’s success.”

Three on alpine team LAKE PLACID — Three Lake Placid skiers will take to the hills this season.

Matt Young’s Blue Bombers alpine ski team will include sophomore Emily Eaton along with freshmen Forest Ledger and Erin Skufka.

“We have a small dedicated team of three skiers who are already hard at work with their preseason training,” Young said. “All three skiers are returning from successful seasons in 2011-2012 and hope to continue their success. All three have goals of qualifying for the New York State Championships at the end of February.

Young said the key for the athletes will be to focus on in-

TUPPER LAKE LUMBERJACKS Lady Lumberjacks seek to reclaim Section X/Class C championship TUPPER LAKE — While the Tupper Lake Lady Lumberjacks varsity basketball team will look to replace several players from the Section X championship team, they will have the league’s co-MVP back.

“We lost seven seniors from our Section X Championship squad last season,” Jennifer Cook said. “We return with our leading scorer and NAC East Division Co-MVP Katie Stuart. I have high expectations for her as she enters her senior season. She will need to continue to be our team leader and maintaining that MVP level of play.”

Cook said there are several players that she will look to as they see their roles increased.

“We also return Lizzie Zurek and Lindsey Maroun from last year's squad,” she said.

“They will move into starting roles this season. I will need my three returning players to step up and play at a high level in order for us to be successful.”

Cook said that the rest of the team is still coming into focus, but hopes to be right back in the hunt for a sectional title.

“Girls will work hard and fight for those last two spots in practice everyday until our first game to see who comes out on top,” she said. “Of course we set high expectations here and would like to return to the Section X title and repeat. In order to do that we will have to work hard from day one and improve individual skill to be better as a team.”

Lumberjacks ready to take to ice

TUPPER LAKE — The Tupper Lake Lumberjacks will look to use the regular season to prepare for a sectional run in 2012-13.

“The Lumberjacks are looking to be competitive in the always difficult section X schedule and look to prepare themselves for the playoffs,” head coach Dan Cook said. “It is a long season and we work to get better day in and day out so that we perform at our peek in February.”

The team will be led by senior goaltender Marcus Richer, senior forwards Jon Kopp and Josh Fletcher, along with junior forward Broyce Guerette.

“We start the season with 13 newcomers balanced nicely with 11 returners,” Cook said. “We look to play strong defensive hockey with quality goaltending from Richer and company. We are going to need strong contributions from our returners and some young players to jump in and produce quality minutes.”
