By Matt Bosley denpubs@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE — The sights and sounds of the 1930s will take over the stage next week as the AuSable Valley Players present “Anything Goes.” “We wanted to do a big musical, something spectacular and fun,” said the show’s choreographer, Diane White, “and we wanted to do some tap
dancing. There’s a lot of tap dancing in the show.” Set in the 1930s when it was written, “Anything Goes” tells the lighthearted story of Billy Crocker, a love-sick stockbroker who stows away on an ocean liner in hopes of winning the heart of Hope Harcourt, an heiress stuck in a loveless engagement with a wealthy British nobleman. Though Hope’s feelings for Billy are mutual, she feels mar-
rying is the only way to save her family’s business. With help from a night club singer and a pair of second-rate gangsters, Billy struggles to find a way for he and Hope to be together while trying to avoid the attention of sailors mistaking him for a crime boss. Hilarity ensues as their pretentious schemes produce

‘Save Shock’
Local officials continue efforts to save Moriah correctional facility By Matt Bosley denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County officials are expressing increasing optimism for the future of Moriah Shock correctional facility as they continue to lobby for its removal from the governor ’s list of proposed budget cuts. Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas, chair of the Essex County Board of Supervisors, spoke at the group’s regular meeting March 1 about the ongoing efforts to convince state officials
not to close the facility. Douglas joined Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava and several other local representatives at a rally in Albany Feb. 23. Douglas noted plans to return to Albany March 2. A trip to Washington, D.C., later in the month will try to enlist more help from representatives at the federal level. “We feel we’ve made significant in-roads with our reps,” said Douglas, noting growing support from Congressmen Bill Owens and Scott Murphy, as well as Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand.

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — An Au Sable Forks woman is now on probation after admitting to having sex with a teenage boy. Joey Strong, a 36-year-old mother and former youth basketball coach, appeared in Warren County Court Feb. 22 and pleaded guilty to third degree rape. “She cried through the whole court appearance and was tremendously remorseful,” said Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan. Strong had been arrested in April 2009 after police say she had sex with a then-16-year-old boy while staying in a Queensbury motel in late March. The alleged incident occurred while Strong was chaperoning a group of teenage boys, including her son, for a basketball tournament in Glens Falls. Police say Strong supplied at least four of the boys with alcohol, including the alleged victim. Strong was not accused of forcing the boy to have sex, but was charged based on the victim’s age. The legal age of consent is 17 in New York State. In addition to third-degree rape, a felony, Strong was also indicted on misdemeanor charges of endangering the wel-

fare of a child and unlawfully dealing with a child. Her guilty plea to rape satisfied all the charges. Strong, who had volunteered for eight years as the girls basketball coach at Holy Name School, had been on conditional release since the time of her arrest. As a result of her guilty plea, the court placed her on interim probation for the next six months. During that Joey Strong time, she must register as a sex offender, attend sex offender counseling, and any drug or alcohol treatment deemed necessary. “After six months, if she does well, the court will sentence her to 10 years probation,” Hogan explained. “If she does not do well, she faces up to one to one-and-three-quarters [years] in state prison.” The court also directed for a full no-contact order that prohibits any interaction between Strong and the victim, Hogan said. 33901

March brings awareness to developmental disabilities By Matt Bosley denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County’s largest employer is going the extra mile to bring awareness to the people it serves. Melissa Newell, Community and Staff Relations Manager for Mountain Lake Services, appeared before the Essex County Board of Supervisors at their March 1 regular meeting to ask for support in declaring March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in Essex County. “The purpose of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month is to recognize that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are valuable, contributing members of our communities,” said Newell. As part of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, and in honor of their 35th anniversary year, Mountain Lake Services will be sponsoring several events throughout Essex County aimed at helping people in the community become more familiar with the company. Mountain Lake Services provides services to more than 500 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, 200 of which are served in 42 separate residences county-wide. The company employs 625 people, 492 of which are fulltime. Newell noted how many of the individuals served by Mountain Lake Services work for local businesses through the company’s sup-
ported employment services. “These employment opportunities offer businesses tax breaks while giving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities opportunities to build upon and further develop their work skills,” she added. “The work provided by these individuals is appreciated by the employer and the communities where the jobs exist, as it brings together a more diverse community and leads to understanding and valuing of each individual’s contribution.” Many individuals receiving services also volunteer time at local animal shelters, libraries, food pantries, schools, fire departments, and other programs, Newell said. Recently, advocacy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities has led to changes in the way language is used in legislation, substituting the term “intellectual disability” for what was previously referred to as “mental retardation.” “Recently, there were two instances in which political leaders used derogatory language publicly,” Newell

e and my big mouth. My friend Thad Tryon, who drives a plowtruck for the Town, said it best: “You should be careful what you wish for.” But Thad wasn't the only one who gave me grief over wishing for snow in this column a couple of weeks ago. Because, of course, a few days after the paper came out we got two days of heavy, wet, nasty, slippery, slushy, sloppy crud, accompanied by high winds and warm weather, gumming things up on the roads and knocking out power lines. So, to all you loyal readers who complained: I'm sorry. I'll never do it again, I promise. Or if I do, I'll remember that crucial word that I seem to have overlooked last time: fluffy. I guess I just thought it went without saying. Of course, it would almost be worth it if I really did have that kind of pull with the powers that be. Hmm... what should I ask for next, do you think? Maybe sectional championships for the WCS boys' and girls' basketball teams would be a good choice. Congratulations to both teams on their victories in the semi-finals last Friday. The boys beat Chazy 64-29, and the girls beat Schroon Lake 43-26. Their next games, for the championships, will be over by the time this comes out. But I wish them all the luck in the world. Both teams have had a wonderful season, and we're all very proud of them. While we're on the subject of basketball and WCS's flair for producing outstanding scholar-athletes, the 31st annual Tan-
neberger tournament is coming up on Saturday, March 20. As always, it will be held in the school gym and will showcase the skills of Westport basketball stars past and present. All in aid of a great cause, the scholarship fund established in memory of our own beloved Tom Tanneberger, who some of us remember as one of the finest scholar-athletes of his day. So save the date for this day-long event, which plays such a vital part in our community life. Another part of the excitement that day is the volunteer fire department's annual Spaghetti Supper, which will be served in the school cafeteria starting at 5 p.m. Whether you're playing or watching, some tasty pasta is perfect for refueling after basketball, and it's also a great way to support the fire department. Adults $8, under twelve $4; takeouts available. The fire department will also be offering its annual Car Wash for the next five Saturdays, starting March 6. We'll be at the firehouse from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. weather permitting, hoses and brushes at the ready. So come out and let us clean all that winter sand and salt off your precious vehicle, for a suggested donation of only $5. Finally, the Westport Federated Church will hold a Pasta, Passion & Pistols murder mystery dinner this Saturday, March 6, at 6 p.m. Adults $10, twelve and under $5. For reservations call 962-4465. Come and help solve the mystery of who murdered Guiseppe (Pepi) Roni and enjoy a delicious meal. I wonder—did his brother Rice A. do it?

Another big event on the same evening is the Willsboro Congregational Church’s Coffee House. This event will be on Saturday, March 13, starting at 7 p.m. and is held at their church hall. They are featuring Tim Akstens & Neil Rossi; they play Old Timey Blue Grass and Blues and Blues Rag Time. The admission is $5 for Adults and $2 for students. Refreshments are available.

atching the Olympics has occupied a lot of my time these last couple of weeks. All that competed are outstanding and as a country, we should be very proud of all or our medal winners. Last week I was commenting that we did not have any snow; well nature took care of that in a big way last Wednesday. We got snow and it was really wet and hard to push aside. Most of the area schools had to cancel, but only for the one day. Our road crews are great at getting the roadways cleared out quickly; for that we say a big “Thank you.” It was good to see a lot of open water in the Boquet River, at least up by the Methodist Church area; hopeful no ice jams this year. Several of the New Beginnings group met for supper this past Friday at the Sportsman’s Diner. There was a good crowd there that evening and it is good to see the community support our local restaurants. There was a fun evening at the school recently as they had an indoor circus event; I heard the children had a great time. Both of our school basketball teams had a great season and moved up to some of the final playoffs, these games were very close but we did not come out the winners.

illie Pierce called this past week to tell me that her grandson, Ryan Pierce of Reber, was on the Dean’s List last semester at Plattsburgh State. A source who prefers to remain anonymous provided more details on Ryan’s academic prowess: this is the third semester in a row he’s been on the Dean’s List, he’s majoring in computer information technology with a minor in business, and he plans to graduate in the Spring of 2011. Ryan’s brother Tyler, a senior at Willsboro, has been accepted at a number of colleges and will begin his own rise to scholarly stardom this fall. Ryan and Tyler are the sons of Jerry and Robin Pierce of Jersey Street. A belated congratulations to Lawrence and Dorothy Bliss on their 65th wedding anniversary Feb. 22. Friday evening steam was billowing from the French’s new sugar house, but it was just water they were boiling to test out the evaporator. However, sap has been flowing and they plan to start making syrup in earnest this week. According to common wisdom, a wind from the west
makes the sap flow best, while a wind from the east makes the sap flow least. Or so the old timers said. Copying an idea from a neighbor, I made a margarine feeder for birds. You drill wide but shallow holes in a piece of wood, squish the cheapest margarine you can find into the holes, and hang it from a tree. It took the chickadees and woodpeckers a while to find it and now they go through about a pound a week. My dog Ginny and I made the rounds this weekend, searching out items of interest but came up empty handed. Essex hamlet was deserted, and at the transfer station all was very quiet. I spent last week teaching a class for census workers at the Willsboro Visitors Center, and of course, Ginny attended too. The town couldn’t be nicer about letting me use this wonderful space, and Ginny adores the radiant floor heating. One student was particularly bad about giving her treats, and she spent the class lying under his desk on the toasty floor, accepting biscuits and snoozing.

Keeping vigilant of the late blight epidemic I
f you gardened last year, you know we had a devastating late blight outbreak. I don’t know of anyone who had tomatoes make it through the entire growing sea-
son. Luckily, the strain of late blight we had in 2009 needs living tissue to overwinter. It will not be in your seeds or in your soil. The only way late blight can and may have overwintered in our area is on potatoes, since the tuber is still living plant material. There are some steps we can take to help reduce the risk of another late blight epidemic. Let’s start with tomatoes. Try to select disease-resistant varieties for at least some of your crop. “Mountain Magic,” “Plum Regal,” and “Legend” are three varieties with resistance or tolerance to late blight. Because they are new to the market and of last year ’s epidemic, it is impossible to find seed for these resistant varieties. Growing your own trans-
plants or purchasing from a reputable grower will ensure a healthy start to the season. Inspect all transplants you buy for cankers or leaf blight before planting. If the plant does not look healthy, don’t buy it. As for potatoes, do not save tubers as seed to be planted next spring. Purchase certified disease-free potato seed from a reputable source, and ask your supplier if the field was inspected for late blight. In the spring (April – June), inspect last year ’s potato plot and any compost or cull piles for volunteer potato plants that might come up. If you find potato plants, pull them out and put them in the trash or destroy them. If tubers were infected and survive, then the late blight could grow upward from the tuber, infecting the stem and producing spores when weather conditions are favorable. These spores could then create another epidemic. For both crops, provide good soil fertility, water drainage,

They get spayed next week I
n your haste to get ready for work in the morning, have you ever put your shoes on before your pants and then stared blankly at yourself in your skivvies wondering what was amiss? No? Then, you obviously have never had children or been exposed to the sleep depravation that accompanies that wonderful, yet life-altering decision. While it has been awhile since I pulled an all-nighter with a screaming infant, I have not forgotten the experience. It can make you a little cuckoo. I was reminded of that two nights ago when, of all things, our two kittens came into heat simultaneously. We rescued the kittens from the local animal shelter half a dozen months ago. Wanting to keep the sisters together, we decided to bring them both home and they have since settled nicely into our humble abode. That is, until the other evening when one of the cats started yowling like it was being slammed in a car door. By the end of the night, I seriously wanted to slam it in a car door, along with my head. For eight straight hours this cat wouldn’t shut up. To make matters worse, the next night, the second cat chimed in — creating an obnoxious chorus that sounded like a frog being tortured at a Waylon Jennings concert. Don’t ask me how I know what that sounds like — but trust me, it ain’t pleasant. Anyway, come to find out felines reach kitty-womanhood at between 4-6 months, which is a prime time to have them spayed. Now, if I could just get animal rights activist Bob Barker to help with the $300 bill, life will be grand. I can still hear Barker ’s famous sign-off at the end of every Price is Right episode: “Help control the pet popula-
air circulation, and use cultural practices to provide what the crop needs for healthy growth. And finally, during the growing season, pay attention to weather conditions and pest alerts to learn about whether late blight has been observed in New York, and what actions you need to take to protect your crop.
Do you support the DEC proposal to remove fire towers from Wilderness areas?
tion. Have your pets spayed or neutered.” Easy for him to say — I could have a round-trip ticket to Barbados for what this will cost. In reality, I would have paid twice that for a few hours sleep last night. After attempting to drift off with my head pinned between the pillow and mattress for the better part of eight hours, I could take no more. I flung the sheets, grabbed the wailing orange balls of fluff at the end of the bed, stomped down the stairs and shoved them in the upright freezer. Muahahahahah, muahahahahahaha ... I cackled as I ascended the stairs. Oh, don’t have the big one, Barker — of course I’m kidding. Not that the thought didn’t enter my mind. Instead, I stared blurry-eyed at the ceiling with my ears bleeding until it was time to come to work in my underwear.

ADIRONDACK Adolescence a fairly new concept CRYPTOGRAM T he concept of adolescence did not exist before 1900. The transition to adulthood was generally marked by the onset of puberty. A variety of ceremonies have been used to announce that transition. The Bar or Bat Mitzvah, the Catholic Confirmation and many other ceremonies indicated that the child was now an adult. In the pre-1900 world, you were either a child or an adult. At the age of 13, Ben Franklin finished his schooling and was apprenticed as a printer and immediately became a self supporting adult. John Quincy Adams attended Leiden University in Holland at the age of 13 and by the time he was 14 he was in the employ of the American Ambassador to Russia where he served as an interpreter and secretary. At the age of 16, Adams was the secretary to the American delegation that negotiated the peace with England at the Revolutionary War ’s end. At 12, Daniel Boone got his first rifle and by the time he was 15 he embarked on a yearlong exploration of the American Wilderness. These men, what we know as adolescents, performed as adults and demonstrated competency and admirable leadership. The terrible exploitation of children in factories was a widespread practice that thankfully ended with the advent of adolescence. The concept of adolescence seems to have expanded during my lifetime. Some are still dependent on their parents
into their late twenties. Growing up, it was a common sight to see kids as young 8 or 9 driving tractors and working on area farms. Others worked in logging operations or in their parent’s business. I suspect that those hard working kids had a leg up By Scot Hurlburt on everyone else. They learned how to work hard, a valued skill across a lifetime. They used to mow grass, now; even those jobs are performed by adults. Many farms have vanished. A fearful liability compels many others not to hire adolescents for fear of a lawsuit. Today, a 15 year old that sets out for a yearlong exploration, as Daniel Boone did, could end up in trouble. Adolescence has taken some heavy hits in popular culture. Many describe it as period that is fraught with difficulty and is a problematic journey that everyone must suffer through. If we offered youth an opportunity to transition to adulthood sooner, the adolescent journey might look very different. Remember, all kids count.

received an e-mail from a reader with a great idea about how to share couponing expertise for the good of our communities: “I enjoy reading your articles in my paper every week. I would love to [read] an article encouraging people to use these ideas to shop for local food banks! If someone doesn’t need more cereal to stockpile or doesn’t use a particular brand of something, encourage them to use the coupons to make deals and then donate those products to the food bank.” I agree one hundred percent! I am a big believer in supporting our food pantries and food banks, especially in the current economy. It’s rare that a week or two goes by without me visiting and bringing bags of groceries to our local food pantry. I’m not trying to pat myself on the back, but as the reader notes above, the reality is that once we start coupon shopping and improving our Super-Couponing skills, we do reach a point where we may acquire more supplies than we need to support a single household. I have held off discussing the many ways our local food banks and pantries can benefit from Super-Couponing until now, and I shouldn’t have waited so long. I am quite aware of how many people truly are hurting right now and having difficulty putting food on their tables. For some, the prospect of having not just enough but actually a surplus of food might be hard to imagine. Yet, when you become a proficient coupon user, matching your coupons to your stores’ lowestpriced sales, you indeed may find you reach a point where you’re able to pick up even more things very inexpensively and pass them along to others in need. Many of my Super-Couponers have written to share their stories of “scoring” food for their local food pantries. One reader wrote to tell me of a $1 yogurt sale at her store ... and right in the coupon dispenser in front of the yogurt were $1 coupons for the same yogurt! She bought what she needed for her family, and then went on to buy more for her local food pantry, too ... and none of it cost a thing! Another reader told of a juice sale in which the bottles of juice were $2.29 and each bottle had $2 peel-off coupons attached to the labels. He stocked up and picked some up for his local food bank, too. I’ve had some memorable runs for my local pantry. Recently, a name-brand manufacturer of bratwurst offered a printable coupon on its Web site for $5 off the purchase of
three packages. It was an unlimited printable — rare, but not unheard of. (I always hit the back button in my Web browser to try to print coupons until I receive the message that the print limit has been reached, because some coupons do have higher print limits and, occasionally you may run across an unlimited printable.) This was a very valuable coupon, since one of my area By Jill Cataldo stores was also having a sale on the same brand of bratwurst: three packages for $5. With a coupon for $5 off the purchase of three, all of the packages were free! And with an unlimited printable, I could print as many as I’d use. Early in the week, I bought as many packages as our family would use before the expiration date. On the last day of the sale, I printed 15 more of those coupons and purchased 45 more packages of bratwurst! (Note that I never clean out a store of a product — the store had a huge supply on hand for this sale.) Then, I took all those brats to our food pantry. The volunteers and I giggled as we stuffed packages of brats into every available inch of their refrigerator. A week later, I returned to the pantry to drop off some other items, and I peeked in their fridge to see how many brats were inside. Not a single package of brats was left. That’s when I realized just how many people are utilizing our local food pantry every day. It’s a similar story at food banks all over the country. If you’ve reached the point in your couponing journey where you’re able to feed your household for less and pass along surplus items to your local food banks, I guarantee you’ll find it incredibly rewarding to do so.

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. has named Daniel E. and Gayle M. Alexander recipients of this year's Dorothy and Alan Booth Distinguished Citizen Award. The Elizabethtown couple was presented the award during the organization's annual dinner at the West Side Ballroom Feb. 27. The award, established in 1985, recognizes its recipients for their commitment to the community. The Alexanders exemplify what the Booths stood for, said United Way executive director John C. Bernardi “Dorothy and Alan Booth epitomize volunteers, community spirit and compassion,” said Bernardi. “Dan and Gayle are also credibly generous to the community with their money, their time, their energy and their enthusiasm.” “I like to refer to them as ‘the dynamic duo,’” Bernardi added with a laugh. The award was a surprise to the Alexanders, as the couple thought they were attending the annual dinner just as they have done in the past, to support the United Way and honor the Distinguished Citizen Award recipients. “We were surprised and humbled to be considered in the company of the former recipients,” said Dan Alexander. “John confirmed that we would be attending but did not say why.” “We always try to attend each year so in hindsight it was a strange question,” added Gayle Alexander. The Alexanders, who have both been avid supporters of the United Way, each said they were humbled when called to the podium. Dan Alexander, who chaired last year ’s fundraising campaign, said, like those honored before them, their commitments to the community aren’t made to win awards. “Our actions are based on the way we were brought up by our families, schools, church and our sense of responsibility to give back to the community,” he said. “Gayle and I have been very fortunate in life; we’ve worked hard, enjoyed the fruits of those efforts and have been able to share with others. That in itself is re-

ward enough, but to be so recognized with this award was truly a surprise.” “We get so much satisfaction and joy to be able to give our time to causes in which we really believe,” agreed Gayle Alexander. “I think we get back much more than we give. We were truly touched to receive this award.” The award meant even more to the Alexanders as they were the first honorees to receive the award since it was given last year to Gordon J. Hazel Jr., who recently passed away after a long battle with prostate cancer. “It is quite an honor to be considered in the same company as Gordon, the Booths and, for that matter, all of those who have been singled out in the past for this honor,” said Dan Alexander. “One can't help but feel a little overwhelmed and even undeserving when you look at the list of recipients. We are both honored and humbled to be a part of that distinguished group.” “If I had to share an award with anyone, I can’t think of a better person to share it
with than my wife of 34 years and counting,” he added. “She has a very big heart and is tireless in her support of community projects.” “That goes double for me,” added Gayle Alexander. “I am always in awe of how much Dan can fit into a day, from early morning meetings to late nights in his study. I use him as my role model. I'm very pleased to see that kind of dedication recognized by our peers.” Bernardi said naming the Alexanders as this year ’s recipients was a well-made decision. “This couple works extraordinarily hard for causes they believe in ... they are truly deserving of the classification as distinguished citizens,” he said. “I’m so proud to be a friend of theirs. They’re two people that I respect and admire a tremendous amount and they’re both an incredible asset to our community.” In addition to Gordon J. Hazel Jr., past recipients of the Dorothy and Alan Booth Distinguished Citizen
Award include: Dorothy Crawford, 2008; Bonnie Black, 2007; Larry and Judy Jeffords, 2006; Michael Whalen, 2005; Andrew Schonbek, 2004; Dr. Kjeli Dahlen, 2003; Robert C.

Vote ‘no’ on Wilmington variance
Support for fencer appreciated
To the editor: On Feb. 17, a public hearing was held in Wilmington to discuss a company’s request for a variance to expand development on a site abutting Wilmington’s town beach. The developers purchased property zoned for 16 townhouses and are asking for a variance to build 27 units. There were about 70 people in attendance at the meeting. 14 people addressed the board and spoke out against the variance and four people spoke in favor. At the public hearing there was an effort made to muffle the public's voice. Thus, I publicly restate my opposition to the project. I have lived near the beach for most of my life and I oppose this variance. The Wilmington beach is a community recreational park and a beautiful location, but it is not a large piece of land. Residential development will adversely impact its natural environment and aesthetic appeal. Nonetheless, our zoning laws allow for such development and the developers purchased the property with that intent. But why is the ZBA so seriously considering granting a variance to enlarge the project? The developers knew about the zoning restrictions on this property, and a strong majority of our town's residents clearly oppose a variance. Therefore, it is appropriate that development proceed in accordance with our town’s regulations. To do otherwise is to disregard and discount both the law and the people of Wilmington. The Zoning Board of Appeals must advocate for the whole community and not for individual business interests. I trust that the Zoning Board of Appeals members will remain independently vested and that they will provide wise stewardship of the property neighboring our vulnerable town beach. On March 10, I hope that the ZBA will listen to the community’s sentiment and vote “no.”
To the editor: On behalf of Charlotte Staats and her family, we write to express our gratitude and thanks to all those who supported her efforts to attend the Junior Olympics (for fencing), in Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 12. When word got out that she wanted to attend, the community responded overwhelmingly with supportive actions and financial contributions that were humbling, to say the least. The generosity from folks as far out as Keene, speaks volumes about the gracious residents that surround us. As it turned out, we were unable to get Charlotte to Memphis on time, due to the extensive snowstorm that hit the Mid-Atlantic States on the 10th. In a nutshell, three flights between two airlines (over two days) were cancelled. Bus and train schedules were consulted but could not deliver. Notwithstanding those circumstances, a subsequent attempt to fly standby (via three airlines) was made at the Philly airport, without success. Suffice to say, it was not to be – this year. Charlotte has decided to apply the remaining funds to attend the Summer Nationals – an equally challenging national fencing competition – pending a successful qualifying round, this spring. The “Nationals” will be held during July, in Atlanta Georgia. Again, we are very thankful to everyone who contributed both personally and anonymously.

Plant closure warrants boycott To the editor: Upstate New York has kicked into what one might call a “Survivor” mode. TV’s “Survivor” has gained popularity for the excitement of voting off the villain or cheering for the underdog. I recently had an opportunity to teach a class where some “castoffs” from Pfizer were in attendance. As I stood and talked about customer satisfaction, the quality of the organization I worked for, service excellence, and how individuals make a difference in and for an organization, I realized that those castoffs had been dealt a blow that would take more than words to overcome. They had lived their values, been loyal organizational supporters, liked their jobs, had friendships that would last a lifetime, but were sitting and I’m sure wondering if my words were true or smoke and mirrors. It took only to look into their faces to see how big the closure was to each of them. Americans have always been supporters of boycotting, refusing to buy, or avoiding organizations, products, or people who do not support the values we all hold dear. I suggest that when we see our doctors, that we ask them to not prescribe Pfizer products or medications, that we visit the Pfizer web site and find out what over-the-counter products are produced by this uncaring company, and refuse to buy Pfizer products. Will we impact the bottom line of Pfizer? Overall, not in the least but it will impact my conscience as I support the people, the community, as well as the values that Pfizer needs to understand— caring, compassion, and community spirit. Is the plant closure personal? It sure is! My bottom line: Don’t buy Pfizer. Catherine LaRock-McMahon, Willsboro
Time to explore salt alternatives To the editor: Perhaps I missed something in the articles concerning the Crown Point Bridge Project. As I understand it, we are about to build a bridge with a life expectancy of no more than the one that was just demolished at a cost on balance of about $1 million a year, considering all. Have we come a long way or what in our technology? Are you saying that in 2010 we cannot build a bridge that will last longer than one built 80 years ago? How absurd when one thinks of all those older bridges in Europe, a hundred years old or more? If the answer is, “Well, they do not use the salt on the roads that we do,” then we are still in the dark ages. Why are we still using salt? Surely there are other products equally effective that may be more costly up front, however, on balance, when one thinks about the cost bridges, roads and our vehicles, there must be a savings. Quite frankly, I do not think we can afford “cheap” salt and all it destroys. Time to seek an alternative and how smart it would be for Essex County to take the lead. Susan C. Sherman, Westport

Growth needed to keep taxes low To the editor: Our school is one of the top public schools in the nation! The budget going up, maybe 15 percent, but if the tax base grows by 15 percent, then taxes remain the same. Are we growing? Not lately. Don't blame it on the APA; our land use laws and subdivision laws are much stricter then the APA's. Do we slash our school budget – or promote our school to bring more students in, increasing our state aid and possibly our tax base, to lower the tax increase? Consolidation? Consolidation could save us about 10 to 20 percent on our school taxes in the short term, but long term, we would lose our community. I say keep our top rating and promote our school. Growth: We are working on land use law changes but these are far too little to reverse our economic decline. You can view them here: www.westportny.net/M2Files/APA %20Amendment%20Approval.pdf Page 11 and 15 give a definition for a guest cottage. I oppose this addition to our laws as it limits these structures to one per parcel and sets a size limit. Also, a guest house in the Hamlets on half an acre of land can be larger then one on a 40-acre parcel outside the hamlet. This makes no sense at all. Larger parcels could easily handle several larger guest cottages. If you agree, I need your help to defeat this one. The rest of the changes should be good for our community. We are looking to build a combined services building (fire, highway, school bus, town offices). This is a smart way to rebuild our service infrastructure, but can we afford it without growth to help offset the $1.30 per thousand tax increase, plus the new sewer line (District) to service it. I have watched Westport's downward spiral. If continued, will we have anyone to man our Fire Department? Our working families are already stretched, high value property owners are frustrated, and if we want more growth, will higher taxes scare it off? If we wish to continue on our current path of increasing spending, I want to see us serious about reversing our economic decline through land use, subdivision law and map density changes.

Quiz bowl team headed for Big Easy By Matt Bosley denpubs@denpubs.com WESTPORT — A multitalented group of Westport students are hoping to take their keen sense for trivia on a trip to the land of jazz and Mardi Gras. The Westport Central School Quiz Bowl team has qualified for the national academic championship tournament to be held at Loyola University in New Orleans, La., May 31. The team competes in a league sponsored by the Glens Falls Post-Star, which includes more than 25 teams from schools in Essex, Warren, Washington, and Saratoga counties. “Competing against much larger schools gives them an exposure they don’t get in central Essex County,” said the club’s advisor, Dan McCormick. Six matches held in Glens Falls earlier in the year determine the top eight teams to compete in a playoff-style tournament held Feb. 3. Westport earned a berth with their superior play. Though they did not win the tournament outright, the team’s performance placed them high enough to qualify for the national tournament. According to McCormick, the last time the club did so was in 1999. When asked the secret to their success, members of the team credited their ability to have fun together, as well as the learning environment in which they’ve been brought up. “Just being a Westport student, you develop all of the skills you need,” said senior Alan Ware, noting the multi-disciplinary approach

of school faculty. “All of my teachers just put it together in a conglomerate that makes for a wide base of knowledge.” That eclectic knowledge comes in handy for quiz bowl questions, which can range from academic subjects like math, science, and history to current events, sports and pop culture. While some members of the team have certain strengths, said Devin Martin, they are generally wellrounded in their knowledge of various subjects. That’s exemplified in their multiple interests and activities. Four members of the team, Ware, Nathan Gay, Bo McKinley, and Kevin Russell, are also part of the MVAC-Champion Westport varsity basketball team. If that were not enough, they also compete as part of the school’s award-winning Future Business Leaders of
America club. “We’re really busy,” said Ware, noting how participation in multiple extracurricular activities is often the norm with Westport students, “but we’re also some of the happiest kids you’ll meet.” Juggling all the activities can be difficult at times, the boys said, recounting one instance where they had to fit both Quiz Bowl and FBLA activities into an evening sandwiched between two nights of basketball games. “It’s a lot,” said McKinley, “but I think if you just stay alert and pay attention to what’s going on in your classroom and in the world, you’ll do fine at quiz bowl.” In New Orleans, McCormick expects the team to get an invaluable experience meeting and competing against students from all over the country, all while visiting a city known for
unique culture. “What is there not to look forward too?” said Russell. Still, the team has one more obstacle to face before they can make the trip: money. Despite $1,000 in assistance from the Post Star, McCormick said the club still needs to raise at least $5,000 to pay for travel expenses. To meet that goal, they will be soliciting donations from area businesses and planning a slew of fundraisers such as a spaghetti dinner or perhaps a school dance. Regardless of what the future holds, members of the team expressed their thanks to club advisors for facilitating yet another program that helps prepare them for college. “Westport is a great school,” said Ware, “and we’re just happy to represent it.”

RAY BROOK — Adirondack Park Agency Chairman Curt Stiles said this week he’s willing to consider some changes to the APA Act, including one that would doubtlessly delight many local leaders. In a commentary released Friday, Stiles wrote that moving enforcement hearings into local courts is a concept with merit. “The use of the local court system for enforcement cases is one idea which merits further discussion,” Stiles said. Local officials argue that the agency’s current role of assessing a landowner ’s compliance with APA regulations, then holding quasi-judicial hearings, determining guilt and imposing fines amounts to one board acting as judge, jury and executioner. Most violations never reach the enforcement phase, however, as landowners and agency staff are usually able to negotiate a resolution. According to the annual 2009 APA report, agency staff resolved about 550 cases, while only a handful moved into enforcement proceedings. In a recent state Supreme Court decision, Acting Justice Richard Meyer concluded that the APA Enforcement Committee and its Chairman, Commissioner Cecil Wray, had overstepped its legal bounds when it attempted to impose jurisdiction over the building rights of town of Essex farmer and former Wall Street executive Sandy Lewis. The agency is currently championing three legislative bills that would amend the APA act. Two of the bills – a community housing bill and a planning fund bill – have garnered support from local governments and officials. “As an administrative agency, the APA has an established role in the revisions and definitions of its rules and regulations,” Stiles said. A third bill meant to streamline the agency application review process has come under greater scrutiny, especially a provision that would remove the agency’s requirement for a public hearing during an application review. The three bills have gained Democratic support in the state Senate and have been sponsored by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Carl Kruger. No members of the Assembly have agreed to sponsor the legislation. Stiles said the agency remains dedicated to its core mission of preserving the beauty and environment of the Adirondacks, while also safeguarding the region’s economy and the needs of its people. “Our staff and Board remain committed to the legislative intent of the Agency’s mission and to the work that must be accomplished for the future of the Park economy and environment,” Stiles said. “Together we share in an important responsibility to the people of the Adirondack Park’s communities, seasonal residents, visitors and environment, as well as to the legacy of what the Adirondack Park will be now and in the future.”
Correction In the article “Rehab clinic reaching reality,” In the Feb. 27 edition of Valley News, it was incorrectly stated Melody LaFountain went in front of the village of Keeseville board to receive permission for the Adirondack Rehabilitation Clinic to be built. She actually went in front of the town of Chesterfield board, who currently own the land.

Habitat for Humanity house nears completion but needs family By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — Champlain Valley Habitat for Humanity could have your new home waiting for you. The local chapter of Habitat for Humanity International has nearly completed construction of a home on Hill Street in the village of Keeseville and is accepting applications from families interested in purchasing the home through an interest-free mortgage. The process of building a house then finding a homeowner is different from the nonprofit organization’s typical method, said Harriet D. Burrell, president of the Champlain Valley Habitat for Humanity board of directors. Traditionally, said Burrell, a family is selected then that family is required to put in a certain amount of “sweat equity” to help build their home. The reason for the change in routine is because another family previously selected for the home will not be moving in, said Burrell. “The circumstances changed for the other family and they were not able to take it,” she said. However, the situation presents the opportunity for another family. “This house is almost built, so the family
we choose will be able to move in with relatively short order,” said Burrell. Even though the three-bedroom home is near completion, there will still be a requirement for sweat equity. “It’ll be helping to grade and put in their lawn, as well as working on other projects for Habitat for Humanity,” said Burrell. In addition to providing volunteer labor, those wishing to apply to become owners of the Habitat house must currently live in substandard housing in Clinton County and meet certain income guidelines. Having a Habitat home can be a lifechanging move, said Burrell, and mean the difference between living in a nightmare and the home of their dreams. “It’s giving them a chance to buy a piece of the American dream,” she said. “And, it’s a hand up, not a hand out.” Homeowner applications may be obtained by contacting Habitat for Humanity at 5647790, visiting www.cvhfh.com, or writing to Champlain Valley Habitat Humanity, P.O. Box 55, Peru N.Y. 12972. The deadline for applications is Wednesday, March 10. “Whether it will be extended or not, I don’t know,” said Burrell.

It was established in 2005 in honor of Sean McCullough, a Plattsburgh High School student who died tragically on May 14, 2005. Sean was a gifted student, talented leader and dedicated athlete who cared deeply about friends and family. Successful candidates are members of the track team nominated by his or her track coach for their leadership and dedication to the team.

apply for this $500 annual scholarship. Recipients of this award my also reapply annually. The Adirondack Community Trust also manages a number of other scholarships for specific schools serving the region.

Play From page 1 unexpected results. “It’s a high-pace, quirky comedy that hasn’t been done in a while,” said the show’s director, Derrick Hopkins. “Anything Goes” features a well-known score by Cole Porter. Songs such as “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “Friendship,” and “Let’s Misbehave,” are sure to be easily recognized. “Cole Porter, the way he wrote his music, it’s not easy,” said White. “The songs are pretty complicated and intricate. They’ve all been challenging vocally, but the kids are doing a great job with it.” Steven Collier returns this year as vocal director while Karen Becker leads the pit orchestra. “Anything Goes” features more than 30 middle-high school students as well as a smaller troupe of elementaryage children and adults. Eight seniors are included in the cast, many of whom bring years of experience to the stage. “Some of them started in kindergarten,” noted White, “so they’ve spent their whole school career being in the musicals.” Senior Joli Straight, who plays Hope, has 12 musicals
under her belt and said this is the best production she’s been in. “The style, the tap dancing, the music; it’s something everyone will enjoy,” she said. In contrast, fellow senior Victoria Whitney is in her first musical at AVCS, but managed to land one of the lead roles as Erma. “It’s been really fun, but it’s taught me a lot about hard work,” she said. “I never knew how much work went into these shows.” “Anything Goes” is the 18th production by the AuSable Valley Players, and White remembers how the earliest shows were much smaller. “It’s really grown. It used to be that we’d just have 20 kids doing the whole show,” she said. “Now we have loads of volunteers. The school and community have all been so helpful and supportive. If they weren’t, we probably wouldn’t be doing it. For some kids, this is their exposure to the performing arts.” Showtimes are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. March 11-13 and 1 p.m. March 14 in the AVCS auditorium. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased in the school lobby from 3-5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Reserved seating is available. For additional ticket information, call 834-2800 ext. 500.
Shock From page 1 Essex County’s largest employers. “I think one of the most striking things we were able to show is how those 102 jobs represent one percent of our non-farm workforce,” Palmer said, adding that the same percentage would equate to more than 76,000 jobs in New York City. Palmer noted that Essex County, being wholly within the Adirondack Park, does not have the same ability to bring new employers into the region and would have difficulty getting business to move into a potentially abandoned Moriah Shock facility. “They chose this area as the Adirondack Park,” Palmer said, “and they do have some responsibility to remember the importance of jobs in this area.” The board unanimously approved spending $3,800 to hire an economics consultant, Colin Reed, to conduct an economic impact study on Moriah Shock. The study is expected to be completed before the end of the week.

Benefit for Tammy Clark Rivers Saturday at Beekmantown VFW By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — When she learned her friend was facing terminal illness, Dawn Morrow said she and a group of their mutual friends knew they wanted to do something to help. Morrow’s friend, Tammy Clark Rivers of Keeseville, was diagnosed with stage four bone cancer late last year. The two women met through the Plattsburgh chapters of the Harley Owners Group and Ladies of Harley, two motorcycle riding organizations. “We’re just one big family and when we heard about her cancer, we knew we needed to do something,” said Morrow. Morrow and her friends have finalized plans to hold a spaghetti dinner benefit at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1466 on Spellman Road, hoping the event will help Rivers and her husband, Tim Rivers, with the financial burden they’ve incurred for cancer treatments. “We just want to help them to pay some of their medical bills,” said Morrow. This is Clark Rivers’ second bout with can-
cer, she added. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago, and, following treatment, it was believed it had been eradicated. “The doctors thought they got it all, but come to find out, she was only in remission,” explained Morrow. Clark Rivers’ troubles came back last August when she went to the doctor with back pain. “She had a blood test and found out the cancer had come back, this time in her back and bones,” said Morrow, adding the disease had spread to her chest and neck. “But, she’s trying to stay as positive as she can and that’s why we want to help.” The benefit will be held this Saturday, March 6, from 1-6 p.m. The spaghetti dinner will be a $7 donation per person, with children younger than 5 eating free. The event will also include live music by the Jay Walken Band, 50/50 drawings, raffles and a Chinese auction. For more information or to donate items toward the event, contact Morrow at 493-3161 or 578-7829.

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WESTPORT — The girls from Westport extended their unbeaten streak to 18-0 as they overcame the Wildcats 43-26 in the girls basketball Class D quarterfinals Feb. 26 on their way to a Section VII title. Martha McKinley’s 14 points on 6-for-6 shooting led the Eagles in yet another display of their fortuitous defense. “We knew coming into this game they were a very tough team,” said Schroon Lake head coach Lee Silvernail. “We knew it was going to be a challenge scoring.” And it was a challenge for the Wildcats, who gave up a nine point lead to Westport in the first quarter. With the exception of Mindy Whitty’s buzzer-beating 3pointer, forward Jocelyn Bowen was the only player to score for Schroon Lake in the first half, where she collected 10 of her 14 points. “Their defense is really what won the game for them,” Silvernail added. “We have a couple of girls who can score really well and they did a good job defending them.” Meanwhile, the Eagles continued to find good looks at the basket. Christina Sherman was perfect from the field and from the line, adding 11 points. Willa McKinley also chipped in 11 to go with six rebounds. “Every one of the girls on the team is a really good ball player,” said Silvernail. “We wish them luck in sectionals.” Ashley Subra grabbed 10 rebounds for Schroon Lake, and Whitty finished with 10 points in her last game as a senior. “She played a pretty consistent game for us,” Silvernail said. “She’s someone we’re definitely going to miss next year.”
PLATTSBURGH — Katrina Garrand’s 18 points helped lead Northeastern Clinton Central School’s girls varsity basketball team to victory over AuSable Valley during the Section VII Class B semifinals game Feb. 26, at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse. With a score of 46-32, NCCS’s win will now put them up against Saranac’s team this Friday, March 5, at 7:30 p.m., also at the fieldhouse.
“I think it’s the hustling of my girls,” said David Lambert, coach for the Cougars, of their win against the Patriots. “Katrina [Garrand] and Chelsey [Brooks] ... they did a good job.” Lambert also contributed the win to help from other plays such as Mary Elizabeth Franke, Rachelle Barcomb, and Cari Dominic. “They got lots of rebounds for us,” he said of the girls. “I’m just proud of my girls and glad we made it this far,” Lambert added. Roger Long, coach for AuSable Valley, said he felt his entire team played
hard. “It was a team effort. I don’t think anybody stood out offensively or defensively,” he explained. “Everybody gave everything they had. [We just] struggled a little bit.” Alexis Coolidge scored the most points for the Patriots with 14, while Michelle Taylor knocked down two 3pointers and finished with 7. “Northeastern’s a good team. They played well and that’s the reason they were in the top four last year,” Long said.

VALLEY NEWS - 18
Kids spend more time in a virtual, instead of a natural world
A
lthough I passed the half-century mark a few years back, I still believe I was a kid during the modern era. Sure, I remember dialing only four numbers to call a friend, but the fact that I actually ‘dialed’ a phone, rather than pushed buttons, is likely a better indication of my current technological prowess. I guess what really dates me is that I watched the original moonwalk, 25 years before Michael Jackson performed it. I remember returning home after school in hopes of watching Gunsmoke or Superman on one of the only two television channels that had reception. My mother would have none of it and regularly booted us out of the house, “Be sure to be home by dark,” she would add before shuffling us along, “And have fun!” Out the door we’d go and head down the street to find something to do. Occasionally, we actually indulged in constructive recreation such as fishing, hiking, biking or BB gun wars. Depending upon the season, there were always a few ‘not so constructive’ options such as tossing apples, pumpkins or snowballs off the town hill. Sure, we knew right from wrong, but the risks of getting caught simply added to the excitement. Besides, in a small town, we recognized the locals and avoided pegging snowballs at a neighbor ’s car, but Lord help the poor trucker, who happened to be traveling along Route 9 in the early evening. In a single pass, his rig would appear as if he had plowed through the community’s gardens, which we had usually plundered for ammunition. Good or bad, such experiences defined my generation. For the most part, we did it all outdoors, in all seasons and in all types of weather. Our small acts of rural terrorism occasionally included a late night dip in a neighbor ’s swimming pool, which rarely caused any permanent damage. It was good, clean fun and it was always accomplished outdoors with little adult supervision. We shot bb guns, rode mini-bikes and actually stayed out after dark (without the protection of a cell phone) and lived to tell about it. Today’s kids are growing up in a far different world than I grew up in so many years ago. As can be expected, they are technically literate, since technology has always been a major focus of their lives. They're multi-taskers and are proficient at juggling sports, school and the constant communication demands of social interests. They use the Internet for entertainment via online videos, online games and virtual worlds or to download music and use social networking sites. Cell phones have made their communications immediate, whether texting messages to friends or visiting a website, it is accomplished instantly in the palm of the hand. Despite the convenience of such modern amenities, to-
day’s kids have less freedom, due primarily to several generations of parents that had too much. They also have a huge, daily load of schoolwork and are under constant pressure to fulfill expectations to possess either a perfect resume by age 18, or have the SAT scores necessary to be accepted by a college that guarantees their success. It was much easier being a kid in the day of Leave it to Beaver and Andy of Mayberry. With so many responsibilities, it’s a wonder that today’s kids have any time to play, yet the most disturbing news is that their play is far different than anything we could have possibly imagined. “This is a stunner,” explained Donald F. Roberts, a Stanford communications professor and an author of a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, “In the second report, I remember writing a paragraph saying we’ve hit a ceiling on media use, since there just aren’t enough hours in the day to increase the time children spend on media. But now it’s up an hour.” Even while conducting the survey of more than 2,000 students in grades 3 to 12 from October 2008 to May 2009, media use was changing. “One of the hot topics today is Twitter, but when we first went into the field and began interviewing, Twitter didn’t exist,” a researcher explained. According to the study, the average American youngster now spends practically every waking minute, except for time in school, using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device. Those ages 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day with such devices, compared with less than six and a half hours five years ago, when the study was last conducted. And that does not include the hour and a half that is spent texting, or the halfhour they talk on their cell phones. And since most are youngsters are multitasking and surfing the Internet while listening to music or texting while online, they manage to pack nearly 11 hours of combined media content into that seven and a half hours. The study’s findings shocked its authors, who had concluded in 2005 that use could not possibly grow further. It also confirmed the fears of many parents whose children are constantly tethered to these media devices. It found, moreover, that heavy media use is associated with several negatives, including behavior problems and lower grades. The recent study revealed that media consumption has grown far more in the last five years than it did from 1999 to 2004. The increase is believed to be due to sophisticated mobile ‘smart phone’ technology and portable, electronic devices such as iPods and video downloads which allow teens to access media in their pocket or beds. Youths now report spending more time listening to or watching media

on their cell phones, or playing games, than talking on them. In less than a decade, cell phones have morphed from a communications tool to an entertainment device. Additionally, electronics are available to the kids 24/7, as one child explained, “At night, I can text or watch something on You Tube until I fall asleep. It lets me talk on the phone and watch a video at the same time, or listen to music while I send text messages. I also use it as an alarm clock since it has a really annoying, ring tone!” Growing up, we never thought our parents knew as much as they thought they did about what we were doing, but now technology has created a world where our own children are even further removed from parental oversight. They are virtually going to places we had never considered. As a result, it is imperative that parents provide today’s children with a grounded experience, on hard ground. It’s also much easier, and more fun, to wake up on the hard ground at a young age. Most of us didn’t simply wake up one day and decide that we were going to be outdoor enthusiasts. Something or someone typically provokes the decision and it usually began in childhood, which is the best time to expose people to outdoor fun. For the majority of outdoor travelers that I know, the process usually started as a kid while canoeing with a Boy or Girl Scout troop, attending Summer Camp, skiing with a family friend or learning how to hunt or fish from a favorite uncle. During the summer, camping trip provided opportunities to hike, explore and see wild animals and pick up insects with our hands. If our initial experience in the outdoors was pleasant and exciting, it eventually grew to become a regular habit as an adult. There has never been such a vital time to share our knowledge and skills. If the outdoor legacy is to live on, it is the responsibility of previous generations to insure the current generation has an opportunity to have their feet in a stream, a rod in their hands or their butt in a canoe. Together, we must make the forests and streams much more entertaining than virtual reality.
