County to take SAFE Act stance

TRIPLE CROWNS

ELIZABETHTOWN

MARCH

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County may have their official stance on the controversial SAFE Act in resolution form for a special meeting that would be held March 18.

Chesterfield Supervisors Gerald Morrow, who is chairing a special committee tasked with looking at the new gun control law and drafting a resolution that would be the voice of the county on the matter, said that his committee would meet next week to come up with a resolution. “(North Hudson Supervisor Ronald) Moore and I have worked on a resolution,” Morrow said. “Mine is to repeal the SAFE Act, not to amend it.

It makes innocent gun owners criminal. If we get this done, then the chairman (Randy Douglas of Jay) has told me that on March 18, there will be a special board meeting and we will address this. We are not going to sit on this; we are going to get it resolved.”

KEESEVILLE

By Shaun Kittle shaun@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — They are the kind of memories that don’t fade over time.

Merwin Cowles, Second Marine Division, described the noise—the roar of the planes overhead, the rattling of the machine guns—as if he had just been there.

Cowles was stationed in Saipan during World War II with the Amphibious Corp.

United Way’s annual dinner The Elizabethtown-Lewis Lady Lions (center) captured the Section VII/Class D championship March 1 with a 39-34 win over the Moriah Vikings, winning the school’s second sectional title of the 2012/13 year after winning the girls soccer crown earlier this year. The AuSable Valley Lady Patriots (top) accomplished the same feat in winning the Class C girls soccer and basketball titles, while the Patriots’ boys team (bottom) finished off an AVCS sweep of the Class C basketball titles with a win against Ticonderoga March 2.

Family days slated by Mountain Lakes Services in Schroon, Elizabethtown

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — As part of National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, Mountain Lakes Services will be hosting a pair of family-themed events in Essex County.

Executive Director Marty Nephew said that the two events will include a family carnival at the Schroon Lake City Beach on Saturday, March 16, starting at 1 p.m. The other will be a Family Fun Day which will be held at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School starting at 10 a.m.

Nephew also talked about Presidents Project Week, organized by NYSARC, Inc. “This initiative is a statewide effort to have people with disabilities give back to their communities by focusing on volunteering,” he said.

“We at Mountain lake Services work diligently with the people we provide services to help

them become integral members of their communities and achieve all that they are capable of.

Volunteering with local civic organizations is an important way we attain this.”

Nephew said that the group works with local SPCAs; food banks; churches; nursing homes; and municipalities, along with the Lake Placid Marathon Meals on Wheels and local fire departments.

“We even have groups that volunteer to shred or clean for local organizations,” Nephew said.

Nephew also said that he was concerned with the future economic climate faced by his organization via the state as they are facing a statewide 6 percent cut, which would hit Mountain Lakes Services to the tune of around $2.3 million.

“The contributions that people with disabilities make in their communities are substantial,” Nephew said. “These contributions are heavily influenced by the supports and services provid-

ed by Mountain Lake Services.

This would directly impact the services that are provided to people with disabilities and the 75,000 Direct Support workers employed throughout the state. I ask that you show your support for our agency by speaking with our representatives about the impact people with disabilities have had on your community.”

For more information, call 546-3381.

Local students to assist Nicaraguan counterparts with March 10 dinner

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Students from Schroon Lake and Elizabethtown-Lewis schools are joining forces to assist children in Nicaragua.

A spaghetti dinner will be served Sunday, March 10, 4:30 to 8 p.m. at the Cobble Hill Inn in Elizabethtown to raise money to educate students in the third-world nation. Tickets are $10 a person and $30 for families of four or more people.

The dinner is sponsored by the National Honor Society chapters at Schroon Lake and Elizabethtown-Lewis schools along with the Cobble Hill Inn, which is providing the spaghetti and garlic bread.

The local students hope to raise $1,500 to be used to pay tuition costs for Nicaraguan students who have lost their sponsors. In Nicaragua students must pay to attend school.

Those without the money must find sponsors.

“It is important to remember that this fundraiser is to cov-

er the costs of these students’ tuitions just for this year,” explained Clare Whitney, a Schroon Lake student heading up the dinner with ELCS student Brody Hooper. “They will still need long-term sponsors to keep their education going.

That’s why this event is also about education awareness.

There is no overstating how crucial an education is to the future of Nicaragua.

“In addition to raising sufficient funds to support these students, we also aim to spark the flame of hope in people here to find it in their hearts, and in their wallets, to take on the sponsorship of a student and change a life forever,” she

said. “For $140 a year, someone can sponsor a child to go to school and pay for their uniforms, shoes, books, and other school materials.”

Whitney and Hooper are both members of the North Country Mission of Hope leadership board. Whitney has twice been to Nicaragua and plans to go again in July. Hooper was there a week ago.

“Brody Hooper and I comprise the student portion of the board of leadership for the NCMOH and we are working together to put this event on,” she said. “Both of our NHS groups will be setting up, serving and cleaning up for the went as well as providing salad and baked goods.”

Hunger is rampant in Nicaragua. It is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere; only Haiti has worse poverty.

School lunch is important, Whitney said, because it is often the only food a child receives in day.

“If they don’t get lunch at school during the day, odds are they won’t get fed every night when they go home,” she said.

“It is so important that we sponsor these children to assure education and do what we can to assure better nutrition as well.”

Middle: Clare Whitney of Schroon Lake and Brody Hooper of Elizabethtown-Lewis schools are planning a dinner to assist children in Nicaragua. A spaghetti dinner will be served Sunday, March 10, 4:30 to 8 p.m. at the Cobble Hill Inn in Elizabethtown to raise money to educate students in the third-world nation.

North Country SPCA animals move into state-of-the-art facility

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com

WESTPORT — The Depot Theatre is excited to present a reading of “a comic exercise that turned into a play,” for their monthly “Soup and a Play Reading” series. On Sunday, March 10, the audience will enjoy homemade soup and hear “Bat Jar,” written by Depot Artistic Director, Shami McCormick. Soup will be served at 6 p.m., with the reading (followed by discussion) at 6:30 p.m. The event is free though donations are gratefully accepted.

Single tickets are now available online for the Depot Theatre’s 35th Anniversary Season beginning in June. Single tickets are $29 each, Senior/Student tickets are $24 each.

“The shows lined up for this season will appeal to most anyone,” says Managing Director,

The contrast between the two structures was evident with the new shelter’s open layout and generous sunlight from floor-to-ceiling windows.

The 3,200-square-foot building was designed

by ARQ Architects, who were in charge of the renovation to the ASPCA headquarters in New York City. The New York City shelter is being used as a national model for its ventilation, lighting, for being nearly sound proof, energy efficiency and for providing a stress-free environment for animals. Like the shelter in New York City, Reuther said the Essex County shelter will be used as a model for small- and medium-sized communities all across the country.

From the Outside In

The shelter was built on the grounds of a former county gravel pit. Reuther said once the weather gets warmer, the 18-acre parcel will also provide a unique opportunity to create play yards for the dogs. They will be used for training exercises and for people to play with prospective new pets.

“It’s crucial for the dogs’ well being and health to have a chance to run around,” Reuther said. “Dogs live to play, and the more exercise they get the happier they’ll be.”

SPCA officials are working with Champlain Area Trails to develop walking trails on the property that will also be available for the public to enjoy.

“It’s going to be a true Adirondack Shelter,” Hartley said.

An official opening day will be announced once the move is complete. For more information, call 873-5000.

Y. Angel Wuellner. “Our audiences will be meeting sassy diner waitresses, sexy stewardesses, smart-aleck fairies, and a football icon on the Depot stage this summer.”

Subscriptions are also available and can be purchased for as low as $72, which provides access to all four mainstage shows. Visit depottheatre.org for more information about the productions and to purchase.

North Country artist, Becky Pace’s show, “Water, Mountain, Sky” can be seen in the Depot Theatre Gallery until March 31. The artist’s light-infused, allegorical paintings capture the distilled beauty of remote North Country landscapes.

Depot Theatre to host ‘Soup and a Reading’ series March 10

State-of-the-art facility

41033

ELIZABETHTOWN — It was an emotionally charged afternoon for volunteers and friends of the North Country SPCA as 36 cats and 10 dogs made their journey in 11 cars from the 45-yearold aging shelter in Westport to the new stateof-the-art facility in Elizabethtown.

The 9-mile separation, though a brief drive, was the result of five years of hard work and $1.6 million of fundraising. For SPCA shelter manager Pam Rock, it felt like a dream come true.

The volunteers and workers took the animals from the old shelter on Lakeshore Road in Westport on Nov. 28. Using a bucket brigade, they passed kenneled cats and dogs to waiting recipients and into the back of vehicles.

“It feels great now that the day is finally here,” said Margie Reuther, co-chair of the Capital Project and member of the SPCA Board.

The volunteers then caravaned to the new shelter on Route 9N in Elizabethtown, where Reuther and a dog named Trooper were the first ones to walk into the Frances Miller Shelter.

“I cried all the way over here with the cats meowing in the back of the car,” said Keene Valley volunteer Sandy Burke.

North Country SPCA Executive Director Jessica Hartley and another volunteer took a second after putting every animal in their new quarters to embrace.

“It’s good to finally be here,” Hartley said.

“One of the things we are really hoping for in the new shelter because the animals will be healthier and under less stress, will be able to increase our adoption rate. We’ll be the go-to place,” Reuther said.

The metal doors on the animals cages, which rattled and vibrated in the former shelter, have been replaced with clear partitions on the animals’ condos to keep them relaxed.

“It’s going to be a life of Windex,” Reuther said as Trouble, a German shepherd and husky mix, tried to lick her hand through the window separating his room from the hallway.

The shelter also features a sophisticated ventilation system, which keeps the facility at a comfortable temperature and prevents illnesses like parvo, a highly contagious virus for dogs, from spreading from one animal to another.

he new Francis Miller Shelter at 7700 Route 9N in Elizabethtown is up and running! Visit our Facebook page to see photos of moving day and the smiling faces and wagging tails of our many happy residents. You can almost hear the purring from the cats settling into their new plush bedding. We are currently only open by appointment as our animals settle into their new "digs", but plan to be open again for regular hours in the near future. If you are interested in adopting, please call our new phone number, 8735000. We would like to express our gratitude to all the generous donors and community members whose efforts made our dream a reality.

Our featured pet this week is Briggs, a Great Pyrenees/Spaniel Mix who arrived at the shelter after his owner passed away.

He has a thick, cream-colored coat and a sweet, intelligent face with thoughtful brown eyes. Briggs is living proof of the saying that some things just get better with age! This senior dog is about 8-10 years old, but still has plenty of energy for his

age. He has excellent manners, is housetrained, loves to go for long walks, and gets along well with other dogs. If you are seeking a larger, gentle dog who doesn't need a lot of activity or excitement, Briggs is the canine for you.

s the season is making changes I find that no matter what source the news of the world comes at me it is mostly depressing and only seems to stress the bad in the world. This forced me this week to take a step back and quietly reflect on the community we live in and realize that we a blessed community.

Some examples include a working government, a good public works department, some health services, a wonderful fire and rescue squads, four choices to follow the faith of our likeing, a great school, bank, post office, services for our seniors, recreation opportunities, grocery and gas stations, a fair amount of employment opportunities, preservation of our history, a railroad, good roads that bring supplies into us.

The list goes on and on in my thinking of all of our blessings. The people that live here are friendly and if we all took time to reach out and offer our volunteer services you would see just how blessed we truly are to live here.

Easter is fast approaching and the local churches are making plans for the special services at each church. Very soon all the

local groups will be looking for local persons to donate at least one three hour shift a week to make this a very special town. If you are interested give me a call and state your preference and I can match you up.

Reminder the last Congregational Coffee House will be on Saturday, March 9, starting at 7 p.m with the "Wadhams Ramblers" for a fee of only $5 for adults and $2 for children. So many activities at the Whallonsburg Grange, that offer lectures, dance lessons, movies with new and better seating and larger screen. The Willsboro Seniors are offering a play "Murder at the Banquet" on March 22 and March 23 at 7 p.m. with a $5 admission. The Local Ski club has one more Sunday of skiing on march 10, the Willsboro Fish and Game Club will hold a Turkey Shoot on Sunday, March 10, from noon to 3 p.m.. So there is still lots of things to do.

with a book a couple of years ago with the same title. This is the second to last event in this particular series.

I’m in Austin, Texas as I write this, and it’s spring time, the best part of which are the wild flowers. Since winter here isn’t much more than a few 40 degree days, spring is not very exciting. More of a gradual warming rather than a bursting forth of new growth.

Lawns are generally brown with hints of green, and the new leaves on the trees are dull and muddy compared to the fluorescent verdant glory we experience. Of all the flowers in action now my favorites are the bluebonnets, which are wild lupines. They grow in swaths along the roads and cover wide open spaces with blankets of deep iris blue. People find them irresistible, so you know the quality of the bloom by the number of cars parked along the roadsides. Brides and grooms are photographed standing in them and poetic types (and refugees from the north) simply flop down on their backs amongst them for maximum enjoyment.

ongratulations to Bruce Estus on his recent retirement after 39 years of service to the town, which was celebrated with a surprise party at the Town Shed a couple of weeks ago (see the story in last week’s paper). Now he’ll have more time to zip around with his camera on that scooter of his, looking for the special photo that captures some unique aspect of our community. Bruce was a jack-of-all-trades at the shed, but Westport residents will probably miss him most at the transfer station, where he always had a big smile and some pearls of wisdom ready for all comers. Good luck in your future endeavors, Bruce, and thanks for all your hard work and good cheer.

Seems like this is the time of year when we’re all getting a little stir crazy, but Westport resident Scott Gibbs and Keene resident Betsey Thomas-Train have come up with a perfect treatment for cabin fever. They will offer six Creative Movement, Dance and Play classes on Thursday evenings from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Whallonsburg Grange, starting

March 8 and going through April 18.

“The class begins with simple exercises of focused breathing, stretching and an aerobic warm-up,” Scott writes. “Then we explore a series of movement exercises that encourage us to find our authentic physical selves and to discover new responses between our physical movements and everyday life. The entire experience is structured to be relaxed, unpressured and supported to allow you to move to the ‘beat of your own drummer.’”

There’s no up-front enrollment so you can come to all six classes or just one, and they’re asking only a small donation to help cover the cost of renting the Grange Hall. Sounds like a great way to make friends with your body again as it comes out of hibernation.

Don’t miss the WCS Talent Show in the Auditorium, starting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, March 8. And the next day, Saturday March 9, you can enjoy the PTO Volleyball Tournament in the school gym starting at 5 p.m. either as a player or a spectator. For registration forms and rules visit westportcs.org"

The May Honor flight is full and the June flight is currently half full. Please get involved in this very worthy cause either through donation or volunteering.

I get such a kick out of and greatly appreciate all the people who approach me about my bird watching as reported via this column. I am happy to say I’ve finally seen one of the Bald Eagles this year over by the Lake. The eagle was perched on the top branch of a tall tree looking as majestic as only they can. I’m surprised at all the ducks that were peacefully swimming around just below the eagle. Earlier that day I got to see a large hawk swoop down on something in the bushes by the side of Route Nine North. It is so rewarding living up here and keeping an eye open as there really is an amazing amount of wildlife all around us on the edge of the Adirondack Forest.

It’s mostly a walking tour, so be prepared for whatever the weather may bring.

You can safely bet it will be muddy, so leave your dancing shoes home and wear something waterproof. The morning will be devoted to looking over the fields and farmstead, followed at noon by a pot-luck lunch and more investigating in the afternoon.

Willsboro students will perform ‘A year with Frog & Toad’

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — The show will go to the amphibians for a special performance of “With Frog and Toad” by Willsboro Central School students.

The young actors will lead audience members through a journey of true friendship and companionship over four seasons.

“A Year With Frog and Toad For Kids” os a whimsical show following the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad.

The play was performed on Broadway and has been adapted for children.

Student performers range from kindergarten through grade 6. Play director and fourth-grade teacher Derrick A. Hopkins said he chose Disney plays for the younger students in the past. This year, however, he wanted to branch away from Disney.

“This play was made for the stage, not for the movie screen, and I wanted the students to see the difference and get to experience something they haven’t seen yet,” Hopkins said. “It was a high-interest hit with the younger kids who have read the Frog and Toad books.”

The 25 students have been rehearsing for eight weeks. The elementary school plays, usually held in the spring, were changed to

give the kids a relief from cabin fever in winter.

“It was coinciding with state testing and in the spring kids want to be outside not inside rehearsing,” Hopkins said. “Now we have their full attention.”

The show begins with the pair Regan Arnold as Frog and Ben Jackson as Toad, waking from hibernation in the spring, and goes through a year worth of adventures with the pair and their animal friends including birds, squirrels, moles, snail, mouse and lizard.

Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding, and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in their differences that make them unique and special. The performance is part vaudeville, part make believe, all charm, and tells the story of a friendship that endures, weathering all seasons.

Hopkins has worked with the students on their acting and singing while choreographer Annie-Laurie Lemieux instructs on the dance moves.

Hopkins said the jazzy, upbeat score of music bubbles with melody and wit, making it an inventive, exuberant, and enchanting musical for the whole family.

White said that with such a diverse age group, there are plenty of chances for the older “players” to mentor their younger cast members.

“Sometimes you definitely see it click when they are working together and helping each other,” White said. “This is our 21st year doing an all-student musical and now we are starting to get people who performed in the musicals, like Matt, who was in our very first musical, coming back to work on them.”

Nicaraguan effort laudable Service above self I T

o better understand the severe poverty and unspeakable living conditions Nicaraguans endure every day, a couple from California decided last June to move there and live off $2 a day like 80 percent of Nicaragua does.

That’s $2 per day for everything from food to drinks and clothing to health care and shelter.

With the average cost of a plate of food in Nicaragua at $2.50, the couple gave up after just five days, saying they could no longer keep up their energy level on the meager amount of food that much money provided. They documented the experience on a blog at lifeoutofthebox.com.

“In order for us to be as productive as we always are, we had to get more food,” the couple wrote. “It was hard to even think on the last day of the experiment and that was the final straw.”

The couple later called it a “life changing experiment.”

“Our perspective on life was completely altered once we experienced life in survival mode,” they wrote.

Yet survival mode is precisely how Nicaraguans live every day. Hunger is rampant in the country. It is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere; only Haiti has worse poverty.

Nearly 50 percent (just over 5 million people) of the population exists on just $1 a day and a third of the population still has no access to sustainable sources of drinking water.

Schroon Lake’s Clare Whitney and Elizabethtown’s Brody Hooper know firsthand how citizens of Nicaragua struggle to obtain the things so many Americans take for granted.

Working with the Plattsburgh-based North Country Mission of Hope, the two high school seniors have made it their objective to raise awareness and money to provide food, schooling and shelter to Nicaraguans.

Clare and Brody comprise the student portion of the North Country Mission of Hope leadership board. Clare has twice been to Nicaragua and plans to go again in July. Brody was there a week ago.

While there the pair helped repair facili-

ties operated by Mission of Hope, distribute food and build modest shelters for Nicaraguans. They’ve also raised thousands of dollars to provide lunch for school-aged children — which is often their only meal of the day.

Since it costs money for Nicaraguan children to attend school, Clare and Brody also work tirelessly to raise cash so Nicaraguans can get an education. Currently, nearly a quarter of all Nicaraguan children will leave school by the first grade.

The latest fundraiser planned by Brody and Clare will take place this Sunday, March 10 from 4:30 to 8 p.m. at the Cobble Hill Inn Restaurant in Elizabethtown.

Tickets for the spaghetti dinner are $10 a person and $30 for families of four or more people.

The dinner is sponsored by National Honor Society chapters at Schroon Lake and Elizabethtown-Lewis schools along with the Cobble Hill Inn, which is providing the spaghetti and garlic bread.

These groups and the owners of Cobble Hill Inn should be commended for the role they are playing in this worthwhile endeavor.

At the same time, we simply cannot say enough good things about these two selfless local teens and the North Country Mission of Hope which gives 97 percent of all donations directly to the Nicaraguan people.

We can think of few not-for-profit organizations that operate on less overhead.

Then, there is Clare and Brody.

As teenagers, this dynamic duo have accomplished more to help their fellow man than many Americans will in a lifetime.

Lets get behind their effort by flooding this fundraiser with people. Then, please consider taking it a step further and sponsor a Nicaraguan child. Just $140 a year — less than $12 a month — will keep a child in school and pay for necessities.

As Clare and Brody know, there is no better feeling than helping a fellow human being in need. Go to ncmissionofhope.org today and sponsor a child, or make whatever charitable donation you can.

s it a phrase that just sounds good, or is it how we live our lives? For many it’s a life code, deeply rooted in who they are and what their lives are all about. For others it’s a pickup line creating an opportunity to take advantage of those who possess nothing more than hope and faith that they can trust what is being promised.

According to recent Rasmussen Surveys, most Americans feel connected to a local church or religious organization.

Generally, people feel that they are connected and play a positive role in some organization with 67 percent rating volunteer work more important than politics. Fifty-seven percent would rather be called a good citizen than a patriot, while 86 percent believe individuals make their own success. Americans, a full 88 percent of us, see honesty and good parenting at the top of the list when it comes to successful lives.

With statistics like these, one can understand the frustration so many feel today as we watch our elected officials on all fronts continue to let down the people they’ve promised to serve. In those surveys, government and politics are near the bottom of the list. We want to believe when we cast our votes that candidates have our best interest first and foremost, but time and time again, we get left paying the price while they reap the benefits.

The sequester that we’ve been told would not happen, the effects of which would be so repugnant that it would force our warring political parties to capitulate and seek a compromise, has now taken place. The president hasn’t led; instead, he has spent more money continuing to campaign against the opposition and predicting doom, gloom and suffering in days ahead. The Republican-led Congress, once in favor of cutting tax loopholes with the effect of raising taxes, has dug in their heels telling us that the sequester spending cuts aren’t really cuts to current spending. And the Senate seems to be missing in action these days.

No one is leading. And leading is what they all promised to do when they came looking for our votes. Follow me. Trust me. The simple truth is, their lack of honesty and integrity has produced a mess

that they’re all running away from, failing to accept responsibility for their lack of apDan Alexander propriate Thoughts from action.

Behind the Pressline Once again we are peppered with empty promises. I wonder how long we can afford to let these self-centered, egotistical politicians make decisions that will affect the future of our country. Always more concerned with their job security and their legacy, it’s nothing more than a tennis match for them and we, unfortunately, are the ball.

They’ve accepted a job and once again they failed to get the job done. Governing is not about them. It’s always been about the people … a people who believe in freedom, opportunity, honesty, hard work and a commitment to future generations.

We are paying a tremendous price for a bipartisan government that continues to fail to meet its responsibility. At some point, we must end this calamity.

We are now forced to wait another two years before we’ll get a chance to attempt to send them a message. I don’t think we have another two years to wait for them to drive the nation further into the hole.

Our forefathers, the framers of the American Constitution, recognized the threat of governmental tyranny — the use of arbitrary power by those in government over her people — but they were also concerned with the danger associated with a populace uprising. “Separation of powers” and “checks and balances” were designed to protect the country from the European kind of rule.

As a nation we must put aside our political differences and demand accountability from the people who have sworn to serve. It’s time for the American people to make their will known and insist that the government do their job to serve and protect us, not themselves.

Bullied Boy Dies

B

ailey O’Neil was a handsome, 11 year-old honor student from Darby, Pennsylvania. According to Baily and his parents the students that picked a fight with him frequently bullied him before the attack. During the fight, Bailey was struck in the face numerous times and one blow fractured his nose. Following this blow, Bailey fell to the ground.

Bailey’s parents delivered him to an area hospital

By Scot Hurlburt where it was found that the fight had resulted in a concussion.

After x-rays and examinations, Bailey was released from the hospital. Bailey’s parents noticed remarkable changes in him following the attack. Bailey was sleeping much more than before and he was moody according to his parents. Then Bailey began to experience violent seizures that lead to his hospitalization again and him being placed in a medically induced coma to protect him from the seizures. Now Bailey O’Neil has died as a result of his injuries.

The school suspended the two boys that attacked Bailey for two days and they have returned to school. The school superintendent has turned the matter over to the local police to determine if a crime has been committed.

Given the young ages of the children involved it is surprising that such serious injuries could be inflicted, however, it is a reminder that some 11 year-old boys are smaller and less developed while others are much larger and stronger at the same age.

Bullying continues to plague many schools and the death of Bailey O’Neil has put a new urgency around the issue of bullying. Bullying hurts young people every day emotionally and physically and now it can be said that bullying can be deadly.

If a young person is being bullied at school, it is very important to develop a plan to deal with being bullied. It might seem “not cool” or even a little scary to tell an adult but it could be the best thing to do. If a young person confides in an adult about being bullied and nothing happens, then they must tell another adult and then another until something is done.

While a response might take some time, the individual can do some things for themselves. Try to stay out of the places where the bully can attack. Try to travel with a friend or friends, bullies usually don’t try to bully groups, more often individuals.

If a young person is being bullied they must be reminded that it is not their fault, no one deserves to be bullied. The old adage used to be to stand up to the bully or to fight back, it sounds good but probably is not a prudent step to take as the bully has sized the young person up as a victim and may injure them if a confrontation occurs.

Victims should always be supported in their efforts to report bullying and should not be shamed or blamed. Victims should not skip school or school activities because they fear being bullied. Disclosing that bullying is occurring can get parents involved as well and the bully may well take notice that adults are watching.

As adults, we have a chance to help a young person out in a way that will never be forgotten when they come to us to disclose bullying.

For many, the bullying will have been occurring for some time when they finally decide to disclose that they are being bullied. If a young person discloses that they are being bullied and you cannot help them yourself, find another adult that can and will help them.

Remember, all kids count.

SAFE Act Continued from page 1 In addition to Morrow and Moore, the committee consists of Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley, County Attorney Daniel Manning and County Manager Daniel Palmer and would meet at 11:30 a.m. Monday, March 11.

“I am adamantly opposed to any bill that infringes on my rights,” Moore said. “Our representatives should be given the opportunity to debate this subject. This leads to things like this other bill on the Senate that would require a $1 million insurance policy in order to own a gun.”

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, who presided at the meeting in the absence of Douglas and board vice chair Bill Ferebee, said he looked forward to a vote.

“The committee will draft a resolution and we will have a vote on that resolution on the 18th one way or the other,” he said.

Scozzafava added that a planned presentation by Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting was not going to happen that day.

“We have a number of supervisors out and we also have the committee that has been appointed,” he said.

Scozzafava then opened the floor up for comments.

“I have several guns, including what would be classified as an assault weapon,” Win Belanger of Willsboro said. “The law is needed, but not the present law and not in the way that it was pushed through. It could lead to a lot of litigation that is not required. Taking three bullets out of my gun, oh well. But to take away my two pistols because there is not a clip that is made to meet the rules, when I have a permit in 33 other states where the same pistol is legal?”

“I do not think a lot of people understand what this law is going to do,” Bruno Mazzotte of Moriah said. “Every time a grandfather or

Honor Flight Continued from page 1 Cowles fought in the Battle of Sugar Loaf Hill on Okinawa Island in 1945.

“I often still dream about the war, situations where my buddies were killed in combat,” Cowles said. “When your buddy gets killed right beside you, you just sigh and keep on going.”

You have to keep on going, because for every soldier lost there are many more who are relying on you.

There’s no time to grieve.

“The first trip in, you’re not afraid because you don’t know what to expect,” Cowles said.

“From the second trip on, you’re a little more careful. You realize you might not come back.”

It was Cowles’ job to transport squads of men from a ship to land in an amphibious tractor.

The tractor was also armed—it had two machine guns in the back and one in the front that were used for defense, or to take out machine gun nests.

It also transported fresh water and food to the battlefield.

After dropping the soldiers off, Cowles would pick up wounded men and take them back to the hospital ship.

“I was no hero,” Cowles said. “We just did our jobs.”

It is clear as Cowles speaks that he believes that, too—that he and his fellow World War II veterans were just doing a job that needed to be done.

On May 29, 2004, the first-ever memorial to World War II veterans was dedicated to the honor of those who fought in that war.

One year later, the Honor Flight Network brought 12 World War II veterans from Ohio to see the memorial.

It would be the first of many such flights.

On Saturday, May 18, North Country Honor Flights will bring its first group of veterans to the memorial, and Cowles will be among them.

“I almost see the guys that got killed and hurt,” Cowles said. “I have that feeling that they’re there, and I’m there. It (visiting the memorial) is something that is most necessary in my life.”

Danny Kaifetz is the director of North Country Honor Flights, which is a part of the larger Honor Flight Network.

“It’s not about me,” he said. “It’s about them. This is the best way to honor them.”

Currently, North Country Honor Flights has two flights scheduled—one on May 18 and the other June 15. There will be two more in the fall, but the dates have yet to be determined.

The Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization, so it relies on contributions and volunteers to fund the flights.

To that end, the North Country Honor Flight held its second annual Cabin Fever party at the

father wants to go shooting with his kid, he has to go through a background check to buy ammunition every time.”

Cutting said that he was recently asked about the number of violent crimes committed by registered gun owners with the weapons that were registered.

“A reporter asked me the other day, do I ever remember a crime being committed by a lawful pistol permit owner or a gun owner with a weapon that they had lawfully registered, and I can honestly not think of one,” Cutting said. “This law unfortunately focuses on the law-abiding group.”

Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said that he was in favor of a resolution against the SAFE Act, but did not think repeal was the right way to go.

“The probability of this being repealed by the state is pretty close to nil,” Canon said. “I think that the best chance is to get the NRA and citizens to look at the constitutionality of it and see if it can be overturned that way.”

According to the New York SAFE Act Resolution Facebook Page, 33 counties have ap-

proved resolutions that are against all of part of the SAFE Act, including Hamilton, Washington and Warren counties.

Currently, 17 counties have proposed to pass legislation, including Essex, Clinton and Franklin counties.

Stec joins rally against SAFE Act Pictured above, Assemblyman Dan Stec joined scores of elected officials and an estimated crowd of several thousand sportsmen and Second Amendment supporters Feb. 28 at NY2A, one of the largest rallies in New York State history.

Stec, who recently launched a petition to repeal the NY SAFE Act, addressed the crowd and proudly joined them in standing up for the Second Amendment.

“The SAFE Act is an ill-conceived measure, crafted in the dead of night, that tramples on the Second Amendment right our forefathers and generations of Americans have fought to defend,” said Stec. “It was an honor to join one of the largest crowds in our stateʼs history today and take a stand for an open government and our constitutional rights.”

“I’ve been a teacher for 13 years, and for the last 10 years I’ve been involved with veterans,” Bouissey said. “All of my veterans are like a family.”

Each Honor Flight guardian travels to the memorial with two vets.

“I can’t even describe the joy it gives me,” Bouissey said. “I feel honored every time I meet one. I could win the lottery and it wouldn’t fill me up as much.”

Bouissey said that getting to know the vets is also a constant source of inspiration for her.

“They’re the reason we have this country, and to them it’s just a job,” Bouissey said.

But not everyone in World War II performed the job they signed up for.

The world comes to Keene Central School during International Night

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com KEENE VALLEY — The world came to Keene through a special group of international students and performances of Spanish music from students in all grade levels for the Keene Central School’s first International Night on Feb. 28.

The evening would have celebrated the fifth annual Spanish Night for the school, but six international students were able to add to the festivities. The students gave informational presentations about their home countries of Taiwan, Norway, South Korea, Spain, Vietnam and Brazil.

“Ordinarily our Spanish Department sponsors a biennial "Spanish Night" but because of our new friends we decided to combine our Spanish students' performances with presentations by our international students,” said Cultural Consultant in Spanish education Peg Wilson.

KCS Spanish program incorporates language training from kindergarten through high school.

Visitors were welcomed to the celebration

The international students were: Luiza

Parolin, an 11th grader from Curitiba, Brazil; Iñigo Azcona, a 10th grader from Madrid, Spain; Dinh Mguyen Phuong Hoa, or Chloe, a 12th grader from Hanoi, Vietnam; Susanne Ruud, a 12th grader from Norway; SeokJae Hong, an 11th grader from the northern region of South

Korea; and Jonah Wu, a 12th grader from Hsinchu, Taiwan.

The program included special performances by students, including kindergarten singers performing a song in Spanish then in English; “My body makes music” with the 5th through 8th grade classes, stomping, clapping and doing the cha-cha; the 3rd and 4th grade singers with “O mischievous children”; and a programwide finale performance.

Superintendent Cynthia Ford Johnston said after the performance she was amazed at how proficient and confident the students appeared.

“There is such a difference in the kids from the first year we held this program,” she said.

“They have such a bring-it-on attitude.”

KCS has hosted one international student a year but was inspired by Newcomb Central School’s large class of international students.

Johnston said the experiences and value the group of students has brought to the school has been invaluable.

“The International kids have brought so much to the community, and it’s been an amazing experience,” she said. “We are definitely doing this again next year.”

Meyer: pistol permits not changing

United Way honors volunteers during annual meeting, dinner

By John Gereau

johng@denpubs.com

2013 United Way Campaign chairwoman Gayle Alexander speaks during the annual United Way Dinner in Keeseville March 2.

The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the recipient of the 29th Annual Dorothy & Alan Booth Distinguished Citizen Award. John Bernardi the Executive Director of the United Way announced this year’s recipient, Kirk Stallsmith of Georgia Pacific.

Bernardi stated Stallsmith fit in perfectly with the qualities of past winners of this prestigious award.

“His dedication to the United Way and the community by being willing not only to give his money but his time and support to help improve the quality of life for others fits nicely with the legacy the of the award. Kirk is an outstanding individual and a true distinguished citizen,” Bernardi said.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Despite concern among local sportsmen to the contrary, the ability to obtain a permit in Essex County to carry a concealed pistol in public has not been taken away.

According to Essex County Judge Richard B. Meyer, there have been talks statewide about a uniform pistol permit policy that would allow pistols under certain “restricted” circumstances — like for hunting and target shooting — but not for carrying concealed in public.

Essex County is one of a handful of New York counties that allows “full” or “unrestricted” carry, meaning a pistol can be concealed and carried in public for the purpose of self defense.

Recently, Meyer began sending out a twopage cover letter with all new pistol permit applications, drawing attention to a November 2012 court decision that upheld the ability of state court judges to restrict a pistol permit to only certain uses such as hunting, target shooting or the defense of a person’s home.

The ruling, handed down by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said county judges, acting as pistol licensing officers, can restrict permits and grant the right to carry a concealed weapon in public only to those who show they have a special need for self-protection greater than others in the general community.

That led local sportsmen to believe that Meyer was stating in the letter that he intended to stop issuing unrestricted permits and perhaps

even require those with existing permits to give up their right to carry concealed when they recertify their permit or apply for a duplicate one.

New York’s new SAFE Act now requires pistol permit holders to recertify their license every five years.

But Meyer said he has not changed anything formally at this time. He said the letter that went out with new pistol permit applications was for “informational purposes only.”

“I’m not changing anything at this point,” Meyer said. “Not until I hear from someone that I have to.”

Meyer said he has never had an incident in which an individual with the right to carry a pistol concealed was found to have acted incorrectly in the use of their weapon.

“I’ve never had a problem,” he said. “I’m going to continue allowing it.”

Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting echoed the judge’s statement, saying that in his 36 years of local law enforcement he cannot recall a single problem with a law abiding pistol permit holder.

At times, permits and guns have been taken from individuals pending the disposition of a crime or an order of protection, Cutting said, but not for the misuse of the right to carry a pistol concealed.

Meyer acknowledged that the pistol permit process from one county to the next is currently anything but uniform. Restrictions are left to the discretion of the sitting county judge.

“This is an emotional issue and there is a lot of confusion out there,” Meyer said.

Habitat heroes!

W Turning back time

A

ccording to most calendars, the spring season officially arrives during the month of March. However, in the Adirondack region, where the average weather is always a bit extreme, winter tends to linger a little longer than it does in the rest of the state.

Although the loitering winter weather often suppresses the timely transition to spring, it also provides a fortunate opportunity for local winter sports enthusiasts, as well as others who travel north to enjoy the ice and snow.

Last weekend, I enjoyed an opportunity to join forces with supporters of both entities, as locals and visitors alike joined together at Otis Mountain Ski Center in Elizabethtown to celebrate the 11th Annual Adirondack Backcountry Ski Festival.

Hosted by The Mountaineer in Keene Valley, proceeds from the annual festival are used to benefit the NYS Ski Education Foundation’s Nordic racing programs and the Adirondack Ski Touring Council, custodians of the popular Jackrabbit Trail, which connects communities from Keene all the way to Paul Smiths.

The weekend program offered an assortment of ski clinics, guided backcountry ski adventures, a demo day and a wonderful dinner at the Keene Valley Lodge. The event culminated with an assortment of slide and video presentations that were enjoyed by a lively group of active outdoor enthusiasts.

The guided tours in the High Peaks offered extreme skiing adventures on some of the mountain slides created by Hurricane Irene, while others sent skiers down the winding wooded trails of Mt. Marcy, Wrights Peak and Johns Brook Valley.

However, I chose to participate in a more exciting adventure, which brought me back to the more modest ski slopes of my youth at a Demo Day event hosted at Otis Mountain in Elizabethtown. Formerly a public ski center, the small hill is now in private ownership.

When I arrived in the late morning, there was already a sizable crowd assembled around the large display of demo gear.

It was a cool, yet sunny day, and I couldn’t wait to get on the hill. So, I strapped on an old pair of wooden skis and headed straight to the rope tow, operated by the prop-

erty owner, Jeff Allot.

Like many locals, Jeff and his siblings grew up skiing at Otis. It’s fortunate he’s been able to revive the old haunts, to restore some sore ski legs and let some of us be kids again, if only for a day.

I stepped out of the line, and bent over to grip the old, wet rope. I squeezed it and with a jerk, I began a short journey back in time.

The ride only took about a minute, but when I reached the top of the hill, the old rope had transported me back to a different era.

It was exciting, and I could feel myself giggling.

I looked around nervously, trying to keep it contained inside, and hoping nobody would notice.

I first stopped to savor the view across the Pleasant Valley of the Boquet, with the cliffs of Cobble Hill looming in the distance. I knew that many things had changed, and yet it all looked so familiar.

For the moment, I was a kid again, back in a time of complete freedom, when my only problems were soggy mittens, a runny nose or the encroaching darkness that threatened an end to another day of fun. Nothing mattered, it was time to play.

After savoring the view, I continued climbing further up the slope to the top of the adjacent ‘big hill’, which had been serviced by a T-bar in my youth.

As I skied along the old connector trail, which was well grown over, it reminded me of many other things that had ‘grown over ’ in the four decades since I had last been on the hill.

Fortunately, like those memories, my enthusiasm for such youthful adventures remains intact. As I made my way through the silent woods, I was able to recapture some of the laughter and freedom of those days.

They certainly were simpler times, when parents would drop off their children in the early morning, and return to pick them up at dark, without a care or concern.

It was a time when freestyle skiing was known as ‘hotdogging,’ and a 360 was called a ‘helicopter.’

Moguls weren’t yet named, they were just bumps, and skis didn’t have brakes. Skis were attached to the boots by leather safety straps.

You could break a leg if you fell, but you’d never loose a ski. We’d often tape old, Life magazines to our legs to stuff into the back of our low top, leather boots, so we could sit back while hot-dogging down the hill.

Tim Drummond, a local kid, was one of the best skiers on the hill and it was always a thrill to see what spin or flip or stunt he would come up with next.

He was a very talented athlete, and it’s fortunate there were no snowboards around at the time, ‘cause some of us probably wouldn’t be around today.

I traversed to the top of the big hill and climbed higher.

By the time I finally reached the bullwheel at the top of the old, T-Bar hill, I was a youngster again, and that old, daredevil spirit was back.

After a few quick photos, I skied off and dropped into a tuck heading down a small chute through the woods.

Quickly, I gained speed and my skis were chattering on the crusted snow as I flew down the hill.

I was moving pretty fast when I decided to cut off on a short, steep connector trail which would take me back to the small hill.

Soon, saplings began to encroach on the route and I had to bail. There wasn’t much of a choice, so I headed for a small opening off the trail.

I hit hard and ended up crumpled like a lump at the base of a big cedar. It knocked the wind out of me.

A quick inventory revealed my skis remained intact and nothing was broken. However, there were certainly a few parts and pieces that were going to be sore. My ego was a bit bruised but not my enthusiasm!

As I grappled with a cedar to get back on my feet, it occurred to me; I grew up here in these woods, just like that tree.

I’ve never been accused of being a ‘tree-hugger,’ but as I wrestled with that tree to get back on my feet, I hung on just a bit longer, and I laughed a bit harder.

Maybe, a few years from now, I’ll come back to visit with the tree again, to discover which of us has grown older.

Hunter ed class scheduled

A rusty bullwheel from an old T-Bar at Otis Mountain is slowly being lost to an ever encroaching forest.

SCHROON LAKE — There will be a hunter education class at the Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club from 5-9 p.m. March 22 and 8 a.m.2 p.m. on March 23. To sign up call Bruce at 585-9194 or Tom Barber at 585-7859. Make sure and bring a lunch on Saturday.

hat’s so cool about March is that we have finally broken over the hump of winter and entered a time zone where there is enough light to finally get something “real” done after getting home from work. It’s a great time to get some exercise and chop some firewood and manage some habitat. With a chainsaw, you can fell,

By Rich Redman trim and clear trees to create early successional habitat that many wildlife species, like Whitetail Deer and Ruffed Grouse prefer.

Driving the back roads of Essex County I spot wild apple trees growing everywhere, but many are surrounded by pines, aspen and other fast growing trees which will eventually shade them out, causing a slow death by solar starvation! You can change all that with management.

Most hunters and photographers know that setting up near a wild apple tree increases the chance of getting a shot. Being in a woodlot that has openings with wild apples is heavenly during bow season. To keep those trees supplying the high energy pommels, orchard maintenance is required. Apple trees need lots of sunlight, like all fruits.

Cutting the competing trees from around the apples allows more sunlight for photosynthesis and apple production, plus it decreases the competition for water and nutrients.

Quality feed comes from quality plants.

To start, take a compass and note where south is and start clearing any trees in that direction. You will need to eliminate the trees that shade the apple. The taller the competing trees, the greater the south, east and west facing semi-circle out from the apple needs to be. You don’t need to cut as much from the north side because the influence from the sun is less. You do need to cut away any competition though. Use the fallen trees to control access points.

(In spring, plant wild grape vines by the stumps and tops.

The vines will grow over the length of the downed trees and into the dead tops. Grouse will be able to feed on the fruit of the vine, when the snows are deep).

After you have cleared out the competition, prune out any dead wood in the apple trees and thin out the larger branches that crisscross over each other within the tree crown. Be careful not to overcut, it will cause the tree to send out new suckers in the spring. You want to keep the branches with the spurs that produce the fruit.

Once spring comes and the ground is thawed out, you can apply a little fertilizer around the tree, working out from the base as far as the drip line of the outside branches. If you already have a soil test, follow the recommendations, if not a small amount of 10-10-10 should get you started. When I worked in the orchards, we applied a full one pound coffee can to large trees. Small trees will need much less. Don’t over fertilize, it could kill the tree. A small bean can full, may be all you need. Spread the mix out evenly around the trees.

With the renewed apple tree habitat, trees should start producing high quality feed for wildlife, and that’s habitat management benefiting ruffed grouse, whitetails and other early successional species. Who knows, maybe you will get that shot of a lifetime!

Before starting your “Habitat Hero” adventures, for safety reasons, take the Game of Logging classes or the S-212 wildfire chainsaw course so you get some chainsaw skills to help you with felling trees and to train you in the proper safety methods of handling a saw and safety gear needed.

Chainsaws are effective but nasty tools that take no prisoners. They mean business and can do some serious damage if not handled properly. As an ex EMT and current fire department member, I know what can happen, so be safe out there!

Conversations

NY residents gather for rally Speaking of getting a shot, I attended the New York State Rifle and Pistol Associations rally in Albany protesting the SAFE Act. Over 5,000 freedom fighters were in attendance. NRA President David Keene was the main speaker.

He praised the crowd for their spirit and cautioned them that they must keep vigilant if they want to preserve their constitutionally given 2nd Amendment rights and most importantly, to be able to hand them down to the next generation. The crowd waved dozens upon dozens of flags flying the motto of the day: DON’T TREAD ON ME!

AuSable Valley sweeps Class C hoops titles; ELCS wins girls crown really excited and happy for the kids and they deserve this. They have all been together since fourth grade in all three sports and they all get along."

The Patriots will next play the winner of the Section X/II regional semifinal Saturday, March 9, at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse with a noon tip time.

"I think that we have a huge advantage because the game is going to be here," Long said. "We have played here three times already, so we have the confidence in this gym."

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The AuSable Valley Patriots stuck to their game plan, playing aggressive defense and running the floor on offense to win the Section VII/Class C boys basketball title March 2.

The Patriots jumped out to an 18-4 lead against the Ticonderoga Sentinels and put any thoughts of a comeback out of mind with a 152 third quarter as they scored a 53-24 win.

“We try to play hard and win games,” Shane Douglas, who scored a game-high 15 points to go with seven rebounds, six assists and two steals, said. “This has been our focus all year and we worked hard in practice to get here.”

“We pride ourselves on defense,” Nate Casey, who scored six points to go with four rebounds, four assists and two steals, said. “That has always been our number one priority, and transition hoops has been our game all year.”

“We came out strong to start the game and we came out strong to start the second half, and that is what our coach always tells us we need to do,” John Goodnough, who scored six points with three rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks, said.

“It’s great to work hard on the glass and on defense and then help get the ball started up the court,” Austin Depo said. Depo scored six points while grabbing five rebounds, three steals and two assists.

“You cannot believe how hard they work in practice every day,” head coach Jamie Douglass said. “They push each other and work hard because they wanted this. I ask them to do three things, contest each shot, deny each pass and box out on every shot. They also shot the ball extremely well, while Ticonderoga struggled shooting.”

Alumni return for annual Tanneberger Tournament

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT — For the 34th year, alumni of Westport Central School will return to remember one of their own and raise money through playing basketball.

The annual Dr. Tom Tanneberger Memorial Alumni Basketball Tournament will be held Saturday, March 16, with games starting at 1 p.m. and running throughout the day featuring four men’s and two women’s teams.

Previously, the men’s tournament was broken up into teams representing different decades of graduates. Recently, the teams have been chosen with different decades playing together.

“It has been a goof thing because you have some older guys who just want to get out there and play and we mix them together with the younger players,” Carol Schwoebel, sister of the late Dr. Tanneberger, said.

Schwoebel and her husband, Jeff, have been working as tournament organizers for many of the 34 years the tournament has been taking place and are joined on the Tanneberger Scholarship board by Jim Forcier, Pete Frisbie, Michael Tyler and William McHone.

“Jim has been involved since the get-go,”

Schwoebel said. “There have been a lot of people that have done so much to help, including the board that we have now.”

Alumni participating in the tournament are asked to sign in by noon March 16. The day before, there will be an open gym at Westport Central School from 7 to 9 p.m. to allow players to sign in and teams to be selected.

On March 16, games start with the first men’s matchup at 1 p.m., with a halftime skills and drills show by current students in kindergarten through second grade. The second men’s game begins at 2:15 p.m., with biddy basketball players grades 3/4 playing at halftime and players in grades 5/6 playing between the second men’s game and the consolation game at 4 p.m. (for biddy players, there will be an open gym day Friday, March 15, from 3 to 5 p.m.).

The women’s championship game will be played at 5 p.m., with a halftime foul shooting competition for students in grades 7-9. The men’s championship game takes place at 6:15 p.m., with a halftime three-point competition for students in grades 10-12.

Those playing can register for $25, which includes a T-shirt and post-tournament event.

Admission to the tournament is $4 for adults and $2 for students, with preschool free. There

will also be a 50/50 raffle and quilt display throughout the games.

During the tournament, the Westport Volunteer Fire Department will be holding its annual Spaghetti Dinner in the cafeteria, starting at 5 p.m.

The basketball tournament is one of the two major fundraisers for the Tanneberger Memorial Scholarship, along with an annual golf tournament which will be played June 7-9 at the Westport Country Club.

“The golf tournament is not an alumni event, so there is a network of people who come to golf every year,” Schwoebel said. “We just started registering people for the event and spots can fill up quickly, so anyone interested can visit the fund’s website (tanneberger.org).”

Proceeds from the two events go to fund the Dr. Tom Tanneberger Memorial Scholarship, given annually at Westport Central.

“We have one recipient who received $500 for four years ($2,000 total) and an alternate who receives a $250 scholarship,” Schwoebel said. “The award is given to a graduating senior who exemplifies excellence in both athletics and academics.”

For more information on the basketball tournament and Tanneberger Memorial Scholarship, visit tanneberger.org or call 962-8567.

Trivia night in Westport to help honor student-athletes

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

WESTPORT — Answer a few questions and give a student-athlete some deserved recognition.

The Westport Booster Club is hosting a series of Trivia Nights in the school cafeteria, with the next taking place Thursday, March 7, from 7 to 9 p.m. Other Trivia Nights will take place Friday, March 15, and Friday, March 22. Each will run from 7 to 9 p.m.

“They are open to anybody in grade 11 and older,” Booster Club member Fred Kapper said.

“All of the proceeds go towards the awards that the athletes receive at their banquets and end of the year.”

Kapper said that the school does not provide any funding for post-season awards and recognitions, so the responsibility falls on the booster club to do so.

“It means a lot to these students to be recognized,” Kapper said.

The trivia contest involves teams ranging from two-to-four members answering questions in a number of categories, not just sports.

The cost for participating is $20 per team, and there will be about $70 in prizes and awards for the teams who can answer trivia the best.

For more information or to register a team, call the school at 962-8244 or show up to a trivia night.
