Sheriff feted by military By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting stepped down from the pulpit after giving his report during the May 13 Public Safety Committee meeting and started to leave the old county courthouse. “Hold on, Richard,” Committee Chair Randy Preston said. “You’re not excused yet.” Preston then introduced Ret. Army Col. William Murphy, who now serves as the Northern Zone Representative for the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.

Students learn teamwork on the ropes By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com
WESTPORT — As many as 14 sixthgrade students crowded onto a pair of small boxes set up at the other end of a
rope swing, trying to stay out of the “lava.” However, the goal was to have 16 students make their way to safety, which was never quite accomplished. Afterwards, Jessica Storey sat down with the students to ask them what they
could have done differently. Students gave their answers, ranging from coming up with a better plan to making sure people were working together in different areas. CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

ELIZABETHTOWN — Students, caregivers, families and friends took to the streets of Elizabethtown May 10 to promote awareness for children with mental illness. The annual Families First Mental Health Awareness walk was held in Elizabethtown and opened with Executive Director JoAnne Caswell talking about Mental Health Awareness Month. “There is still a lot of stigma associated with mental health and that is why we are here,” Caswell said. “Today is to try and wipe some of that out. If we can get to those in need of mental health services and get to them early, then we can really help to make a difference in their lives.” Those in attendance also heard from Amy Catanzarita, who works for the Essex County Social Services Department as a parent aid and
also works with her son, who suffers from a mental illness. “The stigma of mental health is about disrespect and it can be a barrier that discourages families from getting the help that they need,” Catanzarita said. “We need to emphasize the abilities and the strengths of children with mental illness, not the limitations. By working together, communities can help to put those families and children fi rst.” “It is very important to have community involvement and awareness around this issue,” Social Services Director Steve Valley said. Following remarks, the crowd made their way from the town park to the Adirondack History Center, then walked around Hand Avenue, eventually making their way to a barbecue at the Families First offi ces.

Essex County to ramp up child safety seat checks By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County is looking to better help parents keep their young children safe while on the roads. To do that, they will be holding a Child Safety Seat Check event through the Essex County Sheriff’s Department May 25, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Walmart Supercenter, 1134 Wicker St., in Ticonderoga. Essex County Community Resources Youth Program Coordinator Daniel E. Sadowski said this event was the fi rst in a new initiative to help parents with young children throughout the summer months. “Our goal is to provide this service for as many people as we can to help educate them on the dangers of having an improperly installed child safety seat,” Sadowski said. “We will attempt to hold a check event pretty much once a month
throughout the different towns of Essex County through the end of summer.” For more information on the May 25 event or for questions regarding child seat safety, contact the Essex County Traffi c Safety Offi ce at 873-3630. The Child Passenger Safety Program is sponsored by the Governor’s Traffi c Safety Committee.

Denno found guilty for murder of Keeseville man By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — A jury found Scott E. Denno guilty of fi rst-degree murder and fi rstdegree gang assault after three-hour deliberation on May 8 for the death of Robert M. Rennie, of Keeseville. Acting Supreme Court Justice Richard Meyer sent the jury into deliberations shortly after 10 a.m., and they were back with a verdict shortly after 1 p.m. A third charge of criminal possession of a weapon relating to the footwear Denno was wearing when he admittedly kicked Rennie during the attack was dropped on May 7. Denno, 20, of Keeseville, was found guilty of his involvement in the death of Rennie on Aug. 26. Rennie’s body was found near an iron foot bridge on Mill Hill Road in Keeseville on the same day. Autopsy reports showed he died from blunt force trauma that caused two collapsed lungs and internal bleeding. Denno was charged along with Paul Taylor, 39, and Michael Rivers, 36, all of Keeseville. They were each charged with fi rst-degree gang assault after investigations by the New York State Police and the Essex County District Attorney’s offi ce in relation to Rennie’s death. After court closed, members of Rennie’s fam-

ily were thankful for the jury’s decision. “I would like to say thank you to the jury and the prosecution for all their hard work,” said Rennie’s father, Robert J. Rennie, adding that he was relieved after sitting through the trial that began May 1. “It’s stressful,” he said. “You’re reliving the crime all over again. It happened once. Now we have to go over it again and again, and we’re going to have to do this two more times.” The father met with the jurors afterward and thanked them in person and told them how much he hopes this verdict can send a message to people in the community. “I’d like to thank all of you. You did a great job and justice was served,” he said. “This should set a precedent for other kids that gang assault is not acceptable.” Robert J. Rennie said he remembers a Keeseville with a lot less crime and hopes it can change. Denno’s sentencing will be held on June 27 at 2:15 p.m. at the Essex County Courthouse. Jury selection for Rivers will begin on May 20 at 9 a.m. at the Essex County Courthouse. Rivers is charged with fi rst-degree manslaughter, gang assault and possession of a weapon for Rennie’s death. In June, Taylor is to be in court, accused of second-degree murder, gang assault and weapon possession.

while back I reported that funding had run out for the ACAP After School Program in Westport and that it wouldn’t be continuing for the next school year. By now, many of you are aware that ACAP let us know that there will be funding for next year after all. So that’s a piece of good news I thought I should mention here to set the record straight. I also recently mentioned the Champlain Area Trails (CATS) hike scheduled for June 1 on the Black Kettle Nature Trail, to unveil the new interpretive signs by local artist and naturalist Sheri Amsel. To prepare for that event, CATS will hold a volunteer work project this Saturday, May 18, from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Volunteers should meet at the trailhead on Cook Road with gloves, loppers, and handsaws. For information on this or on the other events CATS has lined up for June 1, call 962-2287 or visit champlainareatrails.com.

Just a reminder, the Elizabethtown brush dump will be open for the next two Saturdays in May from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Bring only natural materials of leaves to brush, no tree limbs over three inches in diameter, NO construction material or anything similar. The town board is monitoring the use and will decide if other open dates will be needed. This Saturday is ELCS Prom night! Students, please have a safe and enjoyable evening, you deserve it. Be aware and be careful! You saw the bear at the Doyle’s, I too, have had a visitor out 9N by Hurricane Mountain Lane. My bear took down my bird feeder, bent the wrought iron pole in half within fi ve feet of my kitchen windows. Makes me wonder if it’s the same bear that visited me last summer.

They’ll also be on sale at the Strawberry Festival, June 16, the day of the race. But get yours now because by that time there may not be many left. Only fi ve bucks per duck!

he Adirondack Art Association’s fi rst show of the year opens on May 31 at the gallery in the former fi rehouse in the heart of downtown Essex. The association welcomes local artists and does not jury your work. In other words, they don’t judge the artistic quality of submissions, which is an excellent way for new artists to start showing and perhaps selling. You do have to be a legal resident or property owner in Essex County to exhibit. Check out their website for more details. This Saturday afternoon the CATS crew will be working on the Black Kettle Farm trail. If you’d like to join them, meet at the farm at 12:30 p.m. By the way, our dog Ginny goes on lots of CATS hikes with us and always brings home a few deer ticks. Ticks are at their most active now and in the fall, with a bit of a lull in mid-summer. Saturday evening, the Whallonsburg Grange will host a country and blues band called “Field Trip.” They don’t have a drummer, but they do have an accordion player who at one time was a member of the Portland, Oregon symphony orchestra.

appearing will be the aptly named Collin J. Rocker, a blues musician who sounds like John Prine and Tom Waits. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $12. Here in the remote western section of town, Jersey Street, once a scenic but boring byway is coming to life with new enterprises. The barn on the former Charley Gay farm is now gone with a new one under construction, fi elds that have been fallow for years are getting plowed, good looking draft horses are grazing and we even have a chain saw sculptor. It’s wonderful to see all this new activity. Of the many stresses farmers endure, dealing with employees ranks near the top of the list. When your workers are men and women in their twenties, as is typical around here, it’s inevitable that romances will blossom and just as inevitably fade. This leads to emotional turmoil and reduced productivity, but of course is diffi cult to prevent. A nearby vegetable grower had his best year ever when he hired an all woman crew for the summer and suffered no problems with lovelorn workers. for the Depot Theatre’s Education Apprentice Programs. The entrance fee for “Bingo for the Depot” is $5 and includes one game card; each additional card costs $1.

ave you had the opportunity to visit the new NCSPCA shelter in Elizabethtown? If not, you are in for a treat! Tucked away at the end of a dirt drive off 9N near I-87, the new shelter is a true treasure to our local animals who have not yet found their forever homes. The pictures on our website, www.ncscpa.org may give you an idea of how much our facilities have improved, but they are no comparison to visiting in person the actual building. The spacious, exceptionally clean and well-lit housing provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for our furry friends. In the works is a large, fenced in play-yard where dogs will be able to frisk about on sunny days and visitors will be able to get to spend some time getting to know a potential new family member with plenty of room to walk around and play a game of fetch. Our featured pet this week is Bobbi Jo, a Staffordshire Terrier (Pit Bull) mix with an infectiously silly grin, very short docked ears, and a tawny, coat with a white chest and paws. Bobbi Jo had a rough start in life and looks like a bit of a “tough girl” until you get to know her - she will quickly turn into

ope all mothers were treated well this past Sunday, I know for myself it was great as I was able to enjoy four generations of my family at the same table. You know that I have been encouraging people to send Catherine Sullivan a card or note as she is now pretty much house bound and she is truly, truly enjoying her mail. She looks forward each day to mail, so keep those words of appreciation coming along. Her address again is 3749 Main Street, Willsboro, N.Y. 12996. Progress on the old school seems to be moving closer to an offi cial opening soon. If interested they are willing to give you a tour anytime. This should be a great added service here in Willsboro. There is another new business in town, a sports shop run by Kristen Hotaling located where her Dad formerly had a shop. We wish you well and it is great to have one of our youth return back to town and do business, so check it our. The Carriage House has their farm stand out in front of their home and that will be what they will be featurning this season, vegetables grown in the green houses.

ll the hard work has paid off this weekend as the fi rst North Country Honor Flight will head to the National World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. The Flight received great news as the water, Rainbow Pool, fountains and waterfalls are back on at the Memorial making it all the more spectacular for all our local veterans. My thanks to Danny Kaifetz and all the others involved in giving this wonderful tribute to our veterans. May you all have a very safe and wonderful fl ight. For those who missed out there will be another fl ight in June. The North Country Honor Flight is always looking for volunteers or donations or fund raisers to help with their mission of getting area World War II veterans to Washington D.C. to see the Memorial in their honor. Contact North Country Honor Flight at 834-9901 or online through their website at NorthCountryHonorFlight.org Signs are up on Front Street for Little Italy Restaurant and Kingsland Bistro so hopefully both will be opening soon.

Volunteers will cut and remove branches from the trails and fi x small bridges. CATS welcomes people of all ages to participate in its trail projects. Participants will cut tree limbs and saplings, remove fallen logs and clear brush. Volunteers should meet at the Black Kettle Trailhead, which is on Cook Road about 1.6 miles west of Whallonsburg. They ask that you bring gloves, handsaws, and loppers. CATS will also provide tools. For more information call 9622287 or email to info@champlainareatrails.com. A couple of ospreys are nesting in the AuSAble preserve and I managed to see three adorable baby geese and a rather irate and very protective parent Canadian Goose at the Wickham Marsh this past weekend. The marsh had numerous Canadian Geese around I’m sure all nesting. Enjoy the sights and sounds of our neighborhood and be very protective of all the local wildlife.

County details active shooter plan By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County is seeking a policy to deal with the potential of an active shooter situation in one of its buildings. Social Services Director John O’Neill briefed members of the Human Services Committee about the Armed Intruder Response Policy that was drafted with input from several department heads and research on similar policies in other counties. “We reviewed many policies from other counties and organizations,” O’Neill said. “We drafted a one-page policy and procedure. The county attorney approved it on May 1, and he wanted the board to see it as well. We have also run it by the county manager who also approved it.” O’Neill said the original intent of the task force was to create a lockdown policy, “but it really morphed into something broader than that.” “It turned into a policy on how to respond when an active shooter is in a facility,” O’Neill said. “Employees will receive training on the responses of run, hide or fight. They will also work on suggested escape routes and shelter locations. The idea is to train everyone to respond without a lot of complications.” O’Neill said that they would begin the training on the policy after full board approval and that it would be posted in the county buildings, which raised some concern from supervisors. “I always thought the key to any policy like this was awareness,” Lewis Supervisor and Human Services Chairman David Blades said. “Awareness to what is going on around you and as soon as a situation like this becomes known that there has to be an immediate action. This probably should not be posted but should be made part of the employee’s information.” “You certainly would not want to post location-specific plans,” Wilmington Supervisor and Public Safety Committee Chairman Randy Preston said. “But everyone should be aware of this.” “It will be a posting for employees so they do see it on a regular basis, but not necessarily where it would be public,” O’Neill responded.
Elizabethtown Memorial Day set
ELIZABETHTOWN — The American Legion posts of Elizabethtown and Lewis are organizing the annual Memorial Day parade and Memorial service to take place in Elizabethtown on Monday, May 27.

ELIZABETHTOWN — For the second time in several months, a golf cart has been stolen from the Cobble Hill Golf Course. The thefts have taken place at night and the perpetrators have broken six of the ignition switches when they attempted to take the carts. The first stolen cart was found abandoned at the Footbridge with a flat tire. The second theft occurred during the night of May 9, and the stolen cart ran out of gas on upper Water St. In both cases the police were notified. This damage to town property and the risk to the persons who drove these carts at night, has to stop. Supervisor Margaret Bartley said she was offering a $100 reward to whomever can identify the person responsible for these offenses. Information can be sent to the Town Hall or by e-mail.
Thank You!

Horse Liniment Erases Pain
HIALEAH, FL — An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs, is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula. According to a national drug store survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back to the market under the trade name ARTH ARREST and says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, the ARTH ARREST formula is useful in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, tendonitis, and more. For more information go to www.artharrest.com. ARTH ARREST is available in a convenient roll-on applicator at pharmacies without a prescription or call 1-800-339-3301. Now available at:

Farmers markets: shop while Truth or consequences supporting the community B
I
t’s that time of year again. Time to enjoy life without layers, time to enjoy the extended days and time to enjoy the bounty of our local farmers’ harvests. And in the North Country, it’s easy to do all three. Last Saturday, many farmers markets throughout the region, including the Plattsburgh Farmers and Crafters Market, opened for the season. They will continue to spring up like wildflowers, and the ones that didn’t open last week will be opening soon enough, with the final stragglers ready for business by the end of June. It’s true that many fruits and vegetables won’t be ready until later in the season, but a visit to a farmers market this time of year will reveal more than fresh produce. Beneath the bustling pavilion at the Plattsburgh farmers market, the vendors proudly stand by their wares, products like candles, jewelry, soaps, art, honey, wine, Adirondack chairs and wildflower teas. Their products might not have been harvested in the same way an apple is plucked from a tree, but they were all crafted locally, by people many consider to be family, friends or neighbors. This time of year there is a sparse selection of straight-from-the-ground edibles available, too, such as some of the hardier leafy greens and a few plants harvested from our local forests, like wild leeks and wild ginger. As summer continues, the variety of veggies will only increase as crops reach their peak, and the best part is, their yield is not only delicious—it’s affordable. We have written about the benefits of buying local before, and that sentiment is still as important now as it was in the past. But farmers markets aren’t entirely self-serving. Sure, the farmers and crafters benefit from an increase in sales, and why shouldn’t they? They are providing us with healthy food grown in a sustainable manner at a low cost, but the function of these markets also serves the consumer, and the community. Take a trip to downtown Plattsburgh this Saturday and see for yourself. There is a feeling of intimacy there, a connection as the buyer speaks to the producer first hand and learns about how the product came to be. The smooth
surface of that black walnut bowl wasn’t mass produced in a factory somewhere overseas, it was made by hand from a tree that was destined for a wood chipper. The grapes used to make that wine are cold-hardy, much like the citizens of our region. There is a woman living in the town of Keene who makes soaps, bath salts and bug balms, and she will tell you all about how her concoctions can relieve stress, tension, and insect bites. Through those interactions, farmers markets begin to take on a greater purpose and become a community gathering space where relationships, and trust, are formed between the consumer and the producer. Try speaking to one of the many farmers present and ask him or her questions. Some will offer advice on gardening, and others can tell you about their Community Supported Agriculture program, where consumers can purchase a share of the farm and receive a bounty of goods each week. In many cases, it’s like purchasing your vegetables for the year all at once. Some CSA’s offer meat, maple syrup, honey, milk and cheeses, too. And for those who need assistance, most local farmers markets accept food stamps and WIC coupons. But the benefits of farmers markets don’t end at the pavilion. Since visitors to the Plattsburgh Farmers and Crafters Market are already downtown, many of them will grab a bite to eat or explore some of Plattsburgh’s many fine businesses while they are there. The draw of the market also draws people to those places, and in the process it neatly ties together many of the things most Plattsburgh residents desire— a thriving downtown built upon a high quality of life, high quality local products, and a strong sense of community. The Plattsburgh Farmers and Crafters Market is held every Saturday, from 9 a.m.–2 p.m., at the Farmers Market Pavilion, located by Bridge, Durkee and Broad streets downtown. For more information, visit plattsburghfarmersandcraftersmarket.com. To find a farmers market near you, visit adirondackharvest.com and look under the “Local Food Maps” tab. —Denton Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor
Editorial on target
Can’t have both
Again with 2nd Amendment
To the Valley News: Your paper’s recent editorial was right on track, hopefully will be understood and appreciated by your readers. I have always principally assumed that your paper spoke for upper counties of the park; I now suspect that I am a bit offbase in this thinking. But your points, dwindling population, evaporating schools’ enrollments, empty store fronts and deteriorating infrastructure, well apply to Warren County (above Glens Falls and Queensbury). Many spoke at a recent public meeting chaired by Mayor Blais here in Lake George, the two most important points I thought made were: • Ann ACC Professor spoke of the fact that we are “exporting our children.: The result of high school graduates lack of area employment opportunities. Sad but true, kids having to leave their families, the year-round population aging. •Mr. Macchio (Wild Wild West Ranch in Lake George, son was Karate Kid in movie) spoke of a casino not being the end-all answer in and of itself, but a catalyst around which other commercial endeavors could develop. Your editorial mentioned three possible locations, all logical. I would throw another location into the mix. Lake George Village owns approximately 150 acres up past the town’s recycle center, at the foot of Prospect Mountain. Such a location would take the thought of personal gain out of the mix, would be able to provide a better cash flow to the municipality. Lastly, as you indicated, we are still at the mercy of the Indian Casino, with it’s possibly abrogated NY State contract, upon the St. Lawrence. But we must keep putting our best foot forward. William Dow Lake George
To the Valley News: Steve Erman’s “It Needn’t be Rails vs Trails” says if the current Corridor Management Plan were to be “fully implemented”, it would “satisfy a very wide range of interests.” Not hardly. The Management Plan clearly states that there cannot be a trail parallel to the rail bed for much of its length. And from what I know of the adjacent terrain, there is no possibility for a parallel route both flat enough for bicycling and wide enough for frequent snowmobile traffic. Mr. Erman says that according to the Management Plan, the DEC and the DOT are responsible for looking for alternate routes - to include easements across private land where necessary. Nice way to pass the buck. From my knowledge of the land on either side of the corridor, I seriously doubt whether any such routes exist. If there indeed are such routes, to date neither the Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) nor the Adirondack Scenic Railroad have, with one exception offered even the slightest hint of where these alternate routes might go. That one exception vaguely mentioned a new trail between Inlet and Raquette Lake - locations that are nowhere near the Corridor and cannot be connected to the Corridor. Mr. Erman also fails to mention that their funding application is for a whopping $15.2 million. If approved, this will bring the total NYS funding for this project to over $50 million. The $15 million will only produce a 30-35 mph railroad that will take six hours to travel from Utica to Lake Placid. If that same train stops to drop off and pick up recreationists at remote locations, the trip will be a lot longer. ANCA has promoted their funding application to local elected boards as “rail with trail”; but since the “trail” part does not appear to be possible, the overall premise of their application has little or no credibility. That leaves us with just the “rail” service that few would use - it being even slower than the 19th Century-speed passenger service abandoned over 50 years ago. Keeping the rails in place, however, precludes the creation of a recreational trail that will be unlike any other trail in the Adirondacks. Based on the experience with other rail trails, this unique recreational opportunity will actually help the economy by attracting many new visitors to the area. Tony Goodwin Keene
To the Valley News: In her letter to the editor on May 4, Monique Weston begins by quoting the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. She then proceeds to insist that the word “regulated” somehow has nothing to do with the training of the militia, but instead she invokes the power of the courts and argues that it has to do with government management of the militia. Regardless of what the courts may say, and even though they may have the authority to say so, this cannot be the correct interpretation, else the second half of the amendment, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” would not be the logical conclusion. Instead, the logical conclusion would be something like “the right of the government to keep an armed force for deployment in times of emergency, shall not be infringed.” No, the word “regulated” cannot refer to government management of the militia, and the word “militia” cannot refer to today’s State Militia simply on the basis that it is the same word, or that some prior ruling has been cited. If the Second Amendment is to be considered as a whole, the militia is meant to be comprised of the people and be managed by the people, without government interference. Although the courts have the authority to interpret the law, they are not by virtue of their position always right. They as individuals are swayed by their personal convictions and are as likely to err as any of the rest of us. After further consideration, however, I will agree with Ms. Weston that the word “trained” is not a proper substitute for the word “regulated.” Training is only part of being “well regulated.” An individual may be well trained in the use of his firearm, and many well-trained individuals may come together as militia with intent to maintain or regain the security of their free state. But they need to be organized. They need to be drilled and disciplined. They need to learn how to function as a cohesive unit. In short they need effective leadership. It is both training and leadership that enables the militia to be characterized as “well regulated”. The Second Amendment is only one of ten that are known as the Bill of Rights. Each of these amendments speaks to the empowerment and protection of the people from the government, and to the limitation of the government’s power and authority over the people. It is ludicrous to insist that the Second Amendment is somehow different, that it is intended to subject the people to additional government “regulation.” The Second Amendment is only “maddeningly ambiguous” to those who refuse to accept the possibility that it means exactly what it says, as it is written in plain English. Nevertheless, we are bound to abide by the courts’ decisions, that is, until they lose sight of the meaning of “shall not be infringed.” The people may one day decide when this has happened. This is not a threat. It is a sad prediction, based on the historical events that led to the creation of this nation. I hope I am wrong but I see an ember smoldering. The courts would be wise not to fan it into flame. Don Mauer Piercefield
Flagging respect To the Valley News: Now that Sheriff Cutting has opened the topic of respect for the American flag (Valley News May 4), I feel compelled to further the conversation with my own humble observations. In America, each of us has the privilege to express our patriotic fervor in the proud display of our flag. However, it is a privilege that comes with responsibilities. We may proudly fly our flag all day, but when evening descends, unless she is properly illuminated, Old Glory must be lowered and folded; and she must not be allowed to languish sadly in the rain or snow; and when she has served her time and become tattered and faded, she should be given proper and respectful burial or burning. These are some of the rules of the ritual of display of the American flag I learned years ago in Boy Scouts. As for those who choose to display the flag whipping in the wind from their speeding car or truck, I suggest when she separates from her standard that the patriot behind the wheel take time to stop and rescue her from the abuse and grime of the open road. To those citizens who find these responsibilities too daunting or cumbersome I suggest you channel your patriotism into something more abstract, such as the freedom to speak your mind, a privilege we have in America; a privilege also fraught with responsibilities. Robert Segall Upper Jay
Thanks for help To the Valley News: The Board of Directors and Staff of the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc., SUNY Plattsburgh Project H.E.L.P and the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the 561 volunteers and all those who donated over 1250 food items on the Day of Caring. At one point we had more project then volunteers to complete them so a special thanks go out to those volunteers who step-up on the day so every project could be completed. This year there were over 75 projects completed through-out Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties with volunteers logging over 1350 hours in one day. The communities’ willingness to get involved and to assist with these projects was instrumental to the overall success. It is the opportunity to work with community minded people like all the volunteers that makes our work at the United Way so enjoyable. Local people working to help local people…..That’s the United Way. Kathy Snow Director of Development United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. Plattsburgh
Rails/trails To the Valley News: Around here these days it seems there are a couple of different groups heading in different directions on the same railroad track. Think about that for a second! What does that mean? Well if it happened to be two different actual trains then I think it would be easy enough to understand each scenario. One very specific outcome if they are traveling away from each other. If traveling towards each other, total catastrophe. The question that enters my mind is this. With two groups or at least two opposing objectives wanting to travel the same corridor, could a reverse scenario occur? If railroad advocates and alternative use advocates are traveling (striving) to move completely apart or away from each other, could catastrophe be the result? Personally I believe it is becoming just that, a catastrophe! This issue, debate and the prospects, proposals, ideas and re-evaluations have now been taking place for over 35 years! I have heard some very good points brought up on each sides of this issue. I make no claims that I understand many of the complexities involved with this issue. But I am concerned that the debate might become so entrenched, on the right and on the left, that viable options do not get considered and the corridor wastes away from old age and lack of up keep. Oh, and let’s not consider the amount of tax dollars already spent. Unlike real trains, these groups or stanch ideals traveling apart could become catastrophic and at a minimum have already been very detrimental. Why, because at odds and in opposition they are stalemating progress of what can be very good, viable economic ventures for the local communities, the Adirondack region and the State of New York. Is all or nothing the right approach? I have heard some say remove the rails so snowmobilers can have better use in the winter time. I have heard the proposal for rail freight and rail passenger service to be restored along the entire corridor. I have heard the continuing push for scenic rail service. I believe it is time to nail something down! I applaud and encourage ideas and activism on any side of the fence. These days I am pretty sure public activism is about the only way to make most government types get anything done. But remember if the public is too evenly divided the politicians will sit safely on the fence. Scott Grady Lake Placid

L
es Leopold has penned a book that if factual, is enough to make you very uneasy and at some junctures downright angry. The premise of the book is that hedge fund managers are making nearly a million dollars an hour in some instances. In addition, special tax codes, all completely legal, allow hedge fund managers to pay considerably less tax on their incomes. The author demonstrates that there is a “pecking order” around incomes and hedge fund managers are near the top of all earners. He maps out a linear examinaBy Scot Hurlburt tion of wealthy people in various occupations. The band U2 earns about $195 million a year or $93,750 an hour, Bon Jovi earns $125 million or $60,096 an hour and Justin Bieber earns a paltry $53 million dollars a year or $25,481 an hour. Top Hedge Fund Managers average $1.753 billion a year or $842,788 an hour. Top Corporate CEOs earn $47.1 million a year or $22,644 an hour. Top Lawyers earn $20.0 million a year or $9,615 an hour. Top Bank/Insurance CEOs earn $16.6 million a year or $7,981 an hour. The average American family income is $45,800. In essence, Hedge Fund Managers earn about forty times as much as the top celebrities. “In fact, the top Hedge Fund Managers in 2010 made as much an hour, $2.4 Million; as the average American family earns in 47 years.” The author suggests that a hedge fund is a special investment fund designed by and for the very rich. In order to invest in a hedge fund you must have a minimum of a million dollars to invest. Most investors have much more than a million dollars. The hedge fund manager usually gets 2 percent of all the money invested and 20 percent of the total profits. There are 8,000 hedge funds in America and the top 250 have most of the clients. According to the author, the financial manipulations available to Hedge Funds amount to turning dust into dollars. Banks and Hedge Fund Managers were allowed to offer sub-prime, high risk mortgages to people who were highly unlikely to pay them back. They then as allowed by law, turned these worthless mortgages into AAA bonds. This rating is the same rating afforded guaranteed federally guaranteed bonds. Then they designed securities based on “toxic assets” that were designed to fail. The Hedge Fund Managers would then bet against them and then walk away with billions of dollars, all perfectly legal transactions. “It is an incontestable fact that the largest banks in collusion with hedge funds designed securities based on the worst mortgage so that those securities would rapidly fail.” “This allowed hedge funds to bet against those securities and make a killing.” “Nowhere else in capitalism is this permitted.” The equivalent would be a builder or owner that builds a home that would cause it to burn down in six months thereby allowing the owner to collect the insurance. The author also spends a good deal of the book describing what he calls “economic transactions with no redeeming value.” The author suggests that these transactions have an enormous negative influence on individuals, our economy and even countries. The author points out that Democrats and Republicans created the regulatory void that has allowed these transactions to occur. If these transactions are what the author describes them to be then it really is not surprising that our financial system was on the brink of failure. It is totally ironic that the average American was compelled to bail these people out of the mess that they made. What is even more troubling is knowing that what they did, though perilously destructive to the average American, lost savings, lost retirements, etc., is totally legal. As it stands now, these kinds of transactions will continue. I want to acknowledge that I know very little about the financial workings of hedge funds and how they operate. If Mr. Leopold is some crazy person making unfounded allegations about hedge funds he should be stopped. If not, every American should learn more about hedge funds and how they are being affected by their legal presence in our financial community. If these toxic elements are not more closely regulated or eliminated, I shudder to think what the young people among us will inherit if left unchecked. Remember, all kids count.

Keene students qualify for state forensics tournament KEENE VALLEY — Three students from Keene Central School received bids to qualify for the 2013 New York State Forensics League Championship Tournament which was held last weekend in Mineola. Seniors Sam Balzac and Casssandra Day were entered in Duo Interpretation. Sam was also entered in Humorous Interpretation along with Senior Jonah Wu from Taiwan, who is one of Keene’s international students who has only been studying in the U.S. since September. Coaches Rosamond Lincoln-Day, Kathleen Recchia and Fred Balzac were proud that these three earned bids to represent the school at this competitive event. “It’s thrilling to bring the kids downstate to have them see the kind of work that the students in the metropolitan area are doing and it’s exciting to know that our North Country
kids can hold their own with these students,” said Recchia. “We’re proud of our students and how hard they worked to get here,” added Day. The students competed against some 50 plus schools and did very well in their categories with Sam Balzac making the semifinals in Humorous Interpretation and missing the final round by one cut. Other members of the team were invited to travel down and observe the competition. Junior Peter Craig and Freshman Liza Amirault made the trip and took note of the skills that they’ll need to sharpen to be competitive next year. Keene Central is one of the few schools in the Adirondacks that offers it as a competitive forensics club.

LAKE PLACID — The New York State Department of Transportation recently advised motorists that construction on a project to make slope repairs this month along Route 73 in the vicinity of Cascade Lakes between Lake Placid and Keene, Essex County, has been postponed. Work was to occur between Lower Cascade Lake to near Bobsled Run Road, and was to include one full weekend closure of Route 73. The work has been postponed after the discovery of a fiber-optic cable line in an unexpected location. The work has not yet been rescheduled. Since the work requires lane closures for 21 consecutive days, work is not expected to begin before Memorial Day to avoid impacting that holiday weekend. For up-to-date travel information, call 511 or visit 511NY.org.

Willsboro CV-TEC student Sloper wins state SkillsUSA event By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — Kansas City, here Lee comes. Lee Sloper, a senior at Willsboro Central School and a member of the CV-TEC small engineering program, earned a trip to the national SkillsUSA competition to be held in Kansas City June 24-25 by placing first at the New York State competition, recently held in Syracuse. “The first day we had a technical written test and then had to do hands-on testing,” Sloper said. “I personally didn’t think I had a great day. There were a couple of things I felt good about and a couple of things I felt I could have done better. It was more shocking than anything when they announced the winner. I was getting out of my seat and had to make sure that I had heard them right when they called my name.” Sloper was one of 27 CV-TEC students who were part of the competition, which hosted over 2,000 students in various fields. “We are really proud of him,” Willsboro Superintendent Stephen Broadwell said. “This opened up some opportunities that were not on the horizon before.” Along with the trip to nationals, Sloper received several scholarship offers from technical schools and universities from across the nation. “He has blossomed and really shown his knowledge and expertise,” Broadwell said. “He gets the chance to learn the technical
piece of the program and then gets a chance to apply it in real life.” For Sloper, his senior year is his first in the CV-TEC program, which he became interested in based on his background. “I had gotten a dirt bike a couple of years ago and I like to work on it,” he said. “The more I did, the more I got into it.” Sloper said that the class includes working on projects from a Victory Motorcycle to any repairs that people may bring to the class for them to gain experience with. SkillsUSA is a student leadership organization for students training in trade, industrial and health occupations. CV-TEC students participated in career and technical education competitions focusing on their particular trade area and in leadership competitions including Job Interview and Promotional Bulletin Board. Overall, six CV-TEC students were presented with medals at the competition. “I would like to thank the Board of Education and our administration for their continued support of SkillsUSA, and our amazing instructors for doing such a wonderful job preparing our students for this event,” Sherry Snow Business Teacher, CV-TEC and Co-Lead Advisor, SkillsUSA, said. “Many thanks also goes to the SkillsUSA advisor team which consisted of Lori Ducharme, Betsy Morrow, Mark Brown, Michael Guillette, and Dana Grant; your dedication to our students and organization was very much appreciated, and made the trip an outstanding success.”

WILLSBORO — Thanks to the estate of Noble Roy and Marge Sandberg, Oriental Shriners Hospital Transportation Fund was able to make $125,000 donations to hospitals in Springfield, Boston and Montreal. Roy was a teacher at Willsboro Central School. According to a Shriner’s release, “Roy was a dedicated Shriner and a very active Shrine clown. You could always find Roy at the airport because there would be a group of children and Roy in the center blowing balloons and making animals for the kids. He always competed in the Imperial Clown competition, winning many times, and then would be in the parade on roller skates. Marge would always be along trying to remind him bf all the paraphernalia he needed or left behind. There is a spot in heaven for the both of them.” They added, “Roy wanted our Transportation Fund to be strong so we could continue in the future transporting children and their families to our hospitals and that he has done. There will be a room at the new Montreal Hospital dedicated to Roy and Marge Sandberg acknowledging their contribution to the Shriners Hospitals for Children.”

Two in race for AuSable Valley Central school board seat By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE — While two of the three seats on the AuSable Valley Central School Board of Education will face no challenge May 21, the third will be contested. Current board member Susan Richards will face Charles A. Potthast Jr. for a three-year term on the AVCS board, with voting from noon until 9 p.m. Tuesday, May 21 at the AuSable Valley Middle High School cafeteria. Richards, the incumbent, currently works as the clerk to the supervisor in the town of Jay and teaches vocal music in the community.
“As an AVCS Board Member, I firmly believe in upholding the district’s vision to ensure that every AuSable Valley graduate possesses skills for career and lifelong learning,” Richards said. Potthast has lived in Jay for 20 years and is retired from the New York State Police, where he served as a trooper, sergeant, investigator and lieutenant for the BCI. He is currently a part-time patrolman in the village of Lake Placid. He is also the junior varsity baseball coach for the Patriots. “I am running because our children’s education is of the utmost importance,” Potthast said. Both candidates said that the financial climate of state education is one of the major issues facing the school board.
“I feel that the our AVCS Board has worked diligently alongside Superintendent Paul D. Savage II to provide a fiscally sound district budget, staying below the 2 percent tax cap levy, while still maintaining a well-rounded quality education for the students of AuSable Valley,” Richards said. “It is important to realize that the average taxpayer can only absorb so much of the financial burden,” Potthast said. “I believe that spending can be reduced and taxes held to a minimum through proper management and asset utilization.” Both also said that they are familiar with the school and the needs of the district. “As an alumnus and fellow Patriot of AVCS,
I am proud to serve as an AVCS Board Member and will continue to serve the people of the AuSable Valley Central School District as long as they elect me to do so,” Richards said. “I volunteer and chaperone school trips at the elementary level, and this has helped me to get to know many of the teachers, coaches and administrators,” Potthast said. “If elected I will ask the questions, I will bring issues of concern to the board and the school administration, and I will hold people accountable. I can promise that I will work hard for the community and our children to provide the best education possible.”

Ropes course
Continued from page 1 Those answers were part of the learning experience the class had at the Camp Dudley ropes course, led by Storey and several camp leaders for the Westport Central School class May 9. “We are following a program with the school that is similar to the ones that we use with the campers during the summer,” Storey said. “It’s a chance to get them out of their everyday setting and to do something that is fun in their own back yard and work with their classmates in a different way.” The class started as two groups of eight working on either the rope swing challenge or a balancing challenge. “It’s a chance to learn about themselves and about their classmates,” Storey said. “It’s a chance that they get to work
collectively to achieve these challenges.” “Every time that you do these activities, it is never going to be the same,” outdoor program leader Marlon Fisher said. “You get to find out who is going to step up.” “They are coming together to work on the challenges and enjoying it,” sixth-grade teacher Zoe BruggerLobdell said. “Within the groups, you see the strengths of the students.” “It’s a fun way for the students to challenge themselves in an area that is out of their comfort zones,” school guidance counselor Joanne Mazzotte said. “It has a lot of team-building aspects to it and helps the class learn to work together.” Currently, students in sixth and eighth grade participate

Bezio named to ECH infusion department ELIZABETHTOWN — Nurse Practitioner Katherine Bezio has joined Elizabethtown Community Hospital’s chemotherapy and infusion department. The hospital began offering chemotherapy services along with infusions of bone-strengthening medications, treatment for multiple sclerosis, platelet transfusions, and IV antibiotics in 2009. Bezio is responsible for developing and managing patient treatment plans, with support from hospital staff and under the guidance of patients’ oncologists. She will also be responsible for administering chemotherapy treatments and meeting with patients for their
follow-up visits. She is in contact with oncologists on a regular basis to confer about patient treatment plans and their progress. “I feel privileged to be given the opportunity to help local patients with these incredibly important treatments,” she said. “This hospital is very progressive, technologically advanced and very forward-thinking. Patients are so pleased when they learn that they don’t have to travel far for chemotherapy or other infusion services.” She attended McGill University in Montreal, where she obtained her bachelor of science in physiology. She gradu-
ated from the University of Southern Maine with a master ’s in nursing. Katherine obtained her national certification as a nurse practitioner in May 2009. According to Meredith King, nurse manager of outpatient services, the hospital is excited to have Katherine helping to care for its patients in its chemotherapy and infusion center. “Katherine’s experience and enthusiasm ensures that we can provide important services like chemotherapy and treatment for osteoporosis, blood disorders and multiple sclerosis close to home for many patients.”

NY legislators get a taste of the Adirondacks
CFES
Continued from page 1 Dalton said that with the new hub, CFES plans to double their efforts over the next seven years, going from serving 20,000 students throughout the nation to 40,000. “This is something that will not only impact the lives of students and furthering their education, but there is an impact that this will have on our country,” Pataki said. “You are shining examples of what makes this country what it is. Whatever these kids have for dreams and goals, they can come true when you have the education foundation to build on.” “We have a responsibility to give back to the community and help others get their education and the job that this center will help CFES accomplish is so critically important,” Owens said. “We need every asset to keep America strong.” “We all value education, and that is a big part of our infrastructure,” Stec said. “When you come to a place like this and see a private industry work to help so many students, this is one of the ways that we are going to be able to get from here to there.” CFES Board Chairman Dr. Ernie Stretton, former Lake Placid superintendent, said he feels the organization will be able to push forward and increase their work with the help of the new facility. “Never have I encountered a program for young people that is as beneficial as CFES,” Stretton said. “This is the beginning of an expanded vision of raising the

County approves waste disposal day funding
Mark Your Calendars!
By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Residents of Essex County will have a chance to dispose of hazardous waste in August. The Board of Supervisors voted to add $40,000 from contingency to an existing $20,000 budgeted to hold a hazardous waste disposal day at two sites in the county. “We are adding the $40,000 from the contingency with the $20,000 budgeted,” County Manager Dan Palmer said. “There is an overall cost of $60,000 and we will get 50 percent of that back through a state grant.” In previous discussions, Department of Public Works Director Anthony LaVigne said that he was planning to have two sites for the disposal days, with one in North Elba where the town annually holds a day for residents to get rid of hazardous waste, and the other in Lewis. Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said he would like to see the second site moved farther to the south. “People from Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Schroon Lake — that is a hike, and you are trying to encourage people to get rid of their hazardous waste. They are not going to want to travel that far,” he said. “That is where the bulk of the population in the county is.” “I am currently trying to get a permit for the North Hudson transfer site,” LaVigne responded. “It is easily accessible from the Northway and more centrally located for that area.” LaVigne said that he had a pair of dates in mind for the disposal days, which were Aug. 10 and Aug. 17. LaVigne said that, with the county sponsorship, there would not be a fee for residents and that they would be sending out brochures with items that would be accepted before the disposal days took place. “We are not going to take automobile batteries this year because those can go back to an auto part dealer,” LaVigne said. “There are also some new exceptions on medical waste so we are not going to take medical waste this year.”

ALBANY — State lawmakers and staffers were immersed in Adirondack culture, recreation, history and ambiance Monday —and the plunge was remarkably popular. Monday April 29 was Adirondack Day in the state capital, and “The Well” in the Legislative Office Building featured an expo of Adirondack recreational opportunities, locally grown food, local microbrewery beer, as well as displays detailing educational, economic, historic and natural resources. The hallways were decorated with pine boughs — and live wild birds native to the Adirondacks were on display. Laurie Davis of Essex County Cornell Cooperative Extension and coordinator for the local farm produce initiative Adirondack Harvest, said the expo was popular with legislators and staffers as well as state employees. She and her Extension boss Anita Deming were busy during the entire day handing out samples of cheese from Chateaugay, apples from Crown Point, and shots of Adirondack maple syrup produced in northeastern Essex County. “The place was mobbed,” Davis said. “It was non-stop with legislators, their assistants and staff members who lined up at the dozens of tables all day long.” Cheeses from Nettle Meadow Farms in Thurman were also featured, as well as rafting enterprises, canoe crafters and various environmental organizations. Gov. Andrew Cuomo was among those passing through and reviewing the myriad of offerings. While the expo of all-things-Adirondack was conducted from 10 a.m. to about 4:30 p.m., a supplementary “Taste of the Adirondacks” event followed from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. — in which a chef from Lake Placid cooked up delicacies for legislators to sample — supplied with food from the North Country, including produce obtained through Adirondack Harvest. Adirondack Local Government Review Board CEO Fred Monroe of Chestertown said Adirondack Day really shifted into high gear as soon as the beer and food was available “Adirondack Day was very well received,” he said. “It highlighted a lot of good things happening up here.” Representatives from various participating Adirondack organizations had the opportunity to accomplish some lobbying work during the expo, Davis said, noting that among the objectives were support for family farmers, promotion of self-sustaining local economies and strengthening Adirondack communities. “People from the Adirondacks got a lot of ideas across, and groups shared their missions,” she said. State Sen. Betty Little, who arranged for the expo, said she was pleasantly surprised with the robust turnout among her peers. “It was really exciting,” she said. “We’ve since heard a lot of good reactions.”

The author with an Ausable River brown trout.
Fly fi shing prairie guys
T
hey say the early bird gets the worm. It should read: “The early riser gets the bird,” and hopefully that bird’s a turkey, but for me, I think the “bird” is all I’m getting, so to speak! Gobblers have not been in my play book so far this year. So far! Not one to get into a state of despair, I have altered hunting strategies and tactics. I temporarily hung up the old Remington Model 11, 12-gauge shotgun By Rich Redman I borrowed, and armed myself with an Orvis Access 6 weight fl y rod. Yes, Orvis is expensive, but I have connections in all the right places, at least the right places that I think count as the right places. Thank you G.J.! Orvis is a local company headquartered in Manchester Vt, so if I have a problem, I can go right to the source, and don’t have to deal with catalogs and sending stuff back. I have no patience for all that. Remington is also a local company for now. The governor’s so-called Safe Act may drive them out of New York. That would be a loss of more than 1,000 well-paying jobs, not so safe for the workers, and a stab in the back to the local Mohawk Valley communities. Texas is very interested in having them relocate to their area. Anyway, I’ll go back to gobblers when the rain quits. At least that’s my thinking at the moment. I like to hunt after a rain, when the birds are out foraging. With the warm weather and lack of spring rains, the stream temperatures are getting near perfect; the mid to upper 50’s or low 60’s. The fi sh are getting active and will soon be rising to mayfl y, caddis and stonefl y hatches. The action is starting on the Ausable River near Wilmington now. Yes, the fi sh are taking some fl ies on the Ausable River right now. Jerry Bottcher of the Hungry Trout Inn told me: “When the apple tree out front blooms, it’s time for the dry fl ies.” His apple tree is just starting to bloom, along with the shadbush and hobblebush! So I guess we have at least three vegetative indicators of when dry fl y fi shing starts! The Hendrickson (Ephemerella) hatch should be starting later this week. Not being one to wait, I tried my luck at a nice pool. Initially I started with a red bodied bead head nymph and started dredging the pool. I took a 9-inch brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) on that. After an hour or so, around 3 p.m., and after trying a few fl ies that I thought would bring a strike, I changed tactics. No fi sh were rising and taking dries, but I like to throw a curve ball out once in a while and see what happens. The way I fi gure it, if a steak sandwich with gravy and mashed potatoes fl oats by, why bother with bologna. The fi sh took the dry fl y as it was swept downstream and started to swing. By that time the dry was getting wet, so the fi sh may have thought it was a mayfl y starting to emerge from its nymphal shuck. I caught the fi sh, a beautiful 14-inch brown trout (Salmo trutta). The trout took one of my hand-tied dry fl ies; my own creation. I carefully released it after we both posed for a photo op of course. While I was fi shing I met three guys from Calgary Canada who were staying in Lake Placid for a veterinary medicine conference. They rented some waders and tackle from Tom Conway at the Two Fly Shop in Wilmington. They had an assortment of fl ies and were out whipping the water. One fellow never fl y fi shed before so I worked with him, gave him a couple of my special home grown fl ies and let him whip away. He was the one who took the photo of me with the fi sh. Fly fi shing folks swap or share fl ies with other fl y guys. Worm guys don’t. Being from the fl at prairie country of Canada, they were impressed with the beauty of the Adirondacks. I was up in the Canadian prairies so I know what the terrain is like. Canadian wheat and fl at paprika colored plains. There are miles and miles of fl at, to gently rolling wheat fi elds and prairie. Prairie is French for grassland. Those fl y fi shing prairie guys hope to return to our mountains someday. Many people don’t realize the economic importance hunting and fi shing brings to our area. This is a marvelous area and we need to promote more fi shing and hunting opportunities. Habitat management, whether it involves the forest, fi elds or streams is important, and the only place we can do that is on private land. State forest lands within the Adirondack Park are off limits for management, based on the State Constitution. This is very controversial even among the foresters and wildlife biologists who work for the state of New York. There should be a land classifi cation of “Managed Forest” so wildlife management can be done to help with early successional diversity on state lands. Its Mother’s Day week, so take your Mother fi shing, buy her a steak sandwich with mashed potatoes and lots of gravy and enjoy life! Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there.

The still waters of an Adirondack pond can be transformed into frothing waves and pounding surf within a moment’s notice. Extremes of weather often complement the extreme beauty of this land.
A year’s worth of weather, in a week
I
t certainly has been an interesting week to be in the woods. I spent a few days fi shing, on both the ponds and the rivers and the remainder of my time was devoted to arranging details for an LL Bean photo shoot. The Bean photo shoot crew encountered an interesting mix of Adirondack weather patterns. There was brilliant sunshine, calm waters and 75 degree temperatures on one day, and the next day delivered raging winds, horizontal snow and whitecaps that were so heavy the crew was almost washed off the docks. The group’s photographer, who hails from California, claimed he had suffered through a four season’s worth of extreme weather in less than a week’s time. And then there were the black fl ies! “Nobody warned us about the black fl ies,” he complained. “We wore these silly nets which only served to trap them closer to your scalp. One bite and you’d bleed forever, and it would itch like crazy.” “And then there was the weather!” he sighed. “We had a year’s worth of extremes in just seven days, with sun and heat one day followed by horizontal rain and 20 degrees the next.” “I’ve never seen anything like it. It went from summer to winter in less than 24 hours! I was watching this storm come across the lake, and it looked like rain. But then I saw it was snow, and then, the whole place went white instantly. I was not happy.” “Welcome to the Adirondacks,” I offered, “a land of extremes.” Despite a wealth of welts, plenty of frozen fi ngers and a
mess of wind tossed hair, the crew actually managed to make it through the entire week, all alive and frostbite free, and they got enough good shots to produce their entire fall catalog. Even though there were propane heaters blowing hot air on the set the whole time, hair stylists were reduced to using blow dryers to keep their fi ngers nimble. After putting up with models, props, locations, stylists and more than a few unhappy hair dressers, I couldn’t wait to get back on the water for a few days of fi shing. Even though I had to deal with hordes of savage black fl ies, raging winds, driving snow, thick fog, and gale force winds that pelted us with sleet and hail, it was great to be on the water again. Over the weekend, I set off with an old guest on Lake Placid in a search for lake trout, and we managed to fi nd a few cooperative specimens. However, with water temperatures hovering around 58 degrees, the lakers were rather disagreeable, and we only managed to pull one in the boat, before gently releasing it. However, our luck soon changed after we retreated to a small, stream where the brookies were anxious to feed. They attacked just about anything we tossed their way, and we tossed a lot of fl ies. The weekend of angling adventures was fi nally complete after we spent a few hours fl ycasting cork poppers to big bass that were cruising the shallow shorelines of a small, private lake. The largemouth proved to be voracious, healthy and just itching for a fi ght. I think they would’ve hit an old boot, if we could have fi gured a way to tie it one on! On the return trip back to the lodge, we stumbled upon a small tributary stream that was chuck full of large pods of marsh marigolds. The striking yellow fl owers, with green leaves stood in stark contrast with the black waters of the tiny stream. Nearby, we found fi ddlehead ferns that were as yet unfurled, and specimens of both painted and purple trilliums. Wildfl owers, wild weather and wild fi sh, what more can be a fi ner fi nd for on a spring day in the Park? Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Adirondack History Center Museum sets 2013 schedule keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Civil War and the role that the people of the Adirondacks played in it will be a major focus this summer at the Adirondack History Center Museum. Director Margaret Gibbs announced the 2013 summer schedule recently, which will include the return of the “Worked/ Wild,” exhibit along with “The Human Face of the Adirondacks in the Civil War.” Events and speeches throughout the summer will also focus on the Civil War, which was waged 150 years ago. “There has been a lot of excitement in the community about the Civil War exhibit,” Gibbs said. “It will give people a look at what Essex County was like 150 years ago with perspectives from different towns.” Gibbs asked that any town historians or others who may have pictures of the region from the Civil War area contact the museum.
Exhibits
The “Worked/Wild” exhibit will be shown starting May 25 and running through Oct. 7. The exhibit is a multimedia and interactive exhibit with photographs, paintings, objects, memoirs, and videos reflecting the people, the environment, and the development of Essex County and the Adirondack region. Visitors actively participated in identifying the exhibition themes about the meaning of “Worked” and “Wild” in the Adirondacks. “The Human Face of the Adirondacks in the Civil War,” will open June 8, in conjunction with the annual Antique & Classic Car Show. The exhibit, which will run through Oct. 7, has historic artifacts, photographs and soldiers’ letters related to the Civil War and the Adirondacks in commemoration of the 150th Anniversary.
Events
Adirondack Fire Tower explorations will be held throughout the months of May, June and July. Lead by David Thomas-Train, they include a full day of activities or attend any portion of the day including an orientation at the museum, viewing the fire tower exhibit and climbing the Museum’s fire tower. A new, updated fire tower exhibition brings the story of fire towers into the 21st century. Following the museum orientation, climb up Poke-O-Moonshine in Willsboro and explore its fire tower. A discussion at the museum about fire towers in the Adirondacks follows the tour. Hikers need to be at least 15 years old and in shape for a sustained, steep hike. Space is limited for the hike and reservations are required. “The Irrepressible Conflict: The Civil War in New York,” will take place Saturday, June 1, at 7 p.m. at the Adirondack Architectural Heritage building at 1745 Main Street in Keeseville. Reservations are recommended. Robert Weible’s presentation describes the exhibit by the same name at the State Museum that runs through Sept. 22, 2013. The discussion will include the history of New York’s involvement in the Civil War - the state’s role leading up to war, during the war and Reconstruction, and the lasting impact the war had on New Yorkers is told through four major themes: The Coming of War, The Battlefield, The Home Front, and Reconstruction and Legacy. Reservations recommended. The Antique & Classic Car Show and The Human Face of the Adirondacks in the Civil War Exhibit Opening will be held from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, June 8. “This is our second year of doing this and last year went really well,” Gibbs said. “More people have expressed interest so we want to keep it going.” Collectors and enthusiasts from around the region will display their collections of vintage restored vehicles such as muscle cars, roadsters, hot rods and more. Local fire departments have been invited to bring their antique fire trucks. Buy tickets for a drawing to win a $1,000 gas card and other prizes. DaCy Meadow Farm will offer a farm fresh lunch and there will be music throughout the event. Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley will host, “A View
