Arts foundation helps transform downtown Au Sable Forks Old Masonic Lodge to be converted to house retail, cultural outlet

The Masonic Tahawus Lodge on the banks of the Au Sable river in Au Sable Forks has fallen into disuse and disrepair for the past two decades, but was recently purchased by a nonprofit foundation that supports dance and other arts in the Adirondack region. Fundraising efforts are now ongoing to renovate the building with a retail storefront and community culture center.

Clear-cut shoreline sparks dispute

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WESTPORT — The Adirondack Park Agency and the town of Westport are working to correct a situation involving a property owner who they feel has violated development restrictions.

In 2005, George Guy Lever, the president of a private real-estate and corporate management company in Montreal, purchased an empty lakefront lot in Westport with the intent of building a house and other structures there.

The lot was part of the Starbuck Subdivision, a plan to separate three undeveloped lakefront

AU SABLE FORKS — Efforts to invigorate business and activity in downtown Au Sable Forks are getting a huge boost as a renowned arts foundation now seeks to turn an abandoned building into a thriving cornerstone of the community.

The Appleby Foundation, the nonprofit umbrella of Rebecca Kelly Ballet, has recently purchased the Tahawus Lodge, a historic Masons’ building in Au Sable Forks with the intention to renovate and reopen it as a cultural, community, and commercial center.

The building, built in 1911, was one of few to survive a 1925 fire that tore through the village and has stood up to recent floods and earthquakes, but has been out of use for over 20 years and is in need of extensive repair.

With the support of the Au Sable Forks Main Street Revitalization committee and the Essex County Empire Zone, the arts foundation will now seek to raise $1.2 million for the renovation of the three-story building.

Based in New York City and the Adirondacks, Rebecca Kelly Ballet has brought public dance performances and youth programs to towns throughout the North Country for more than 22 years, including choreography workshops and dance classes in Plattsburgh, Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake, Jay, Essex, Lake

Approved NCCC budget Essex County supervisors tentative heads to counties

By Matt Bosley

matt@denpubs.com

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — The North Country Community College Board of Trustees approved its 2009-10 budget last week.

Next year ’s budget is approximately $12.7 million – a 0.03 percent increase in spending over this year. The budget also includes a 4.8 percent increase to student tuition.

“That’s about $170 more for students,” said Interim President Fred Smith. College Vice President Ed Trathen said at least 85 percent of students will be able to cover the increase through tuition assistance programs and grants.

With the board’s approval, the budget heads to Franklin County Legislators and the Essex County Board of Supervisors – the college’s two major sponsors. Those lawmakers will decide on the budget in July, and then in August the budget goes before the SUNY Board of Trustees for final approval.

The budget includes a request for an additional $50,000 from each county, a result of a $45,000 loss in state aid this year. Smith noted that North Country will lose $153,000 in state aid in 200910.

“We are getting less from the state, we’re asking more from the students and we’re asking more from the counties,” Smith said. “And that’s what you see in the great State of New York; the burden is getting passed to the local level.”

The current fiscal year ’s budget has been reduced by about $300,000, due in large part to the elimination of two positions. The school also replaced several retirees with adjuncts.

Smith also told the board last week that a bid has been

awarded for architectural and engineering plans for Phase I of a multi-million dollar upgrade to the Saranac Lake campus. The first phase includes a new student center, library, classroom space and upgrades to the Sparks Athletic Center.

JMZ Architects was the lowest bidder and the choice of the project’s steering committee. The Glens Falls-based company placed a bid at $177,200.

The state will contribute $110,000, and the steering committee has asked each sponsoring county to contribute an additional $55,000 – bringing the total to $220,000.

“I understand that’s significantly higher than the bid, but we need that cushion in case of any overruns,” Smith said. “And I will add that JMZ is a SUNY-approved firm.”

Smith asked the board to pass a resolution urging each county to contribute to the overall costs.

“This does not require action by the board of trustees,” Smith said. “It requires action only by the two county sponsors. But I would like the board to pass a motion endorsing this request for $55,000 from each of the counties for this purpose.”

The board took Smith’s advice and approved a motion to request financial help from Essex and Franklin counties.

In other business, Smith commended the college board of trustees for its visibility in recent months – specifically during the search for a new president, which concluded recently.

“I think the broader campus and the community has a better understanding of who the trustees are and the role they perform,” Smith said.

Dr. Carol Brown will take over as NCCC’s new president Aug. 31.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Two separate funding requests from North Country Community College were met with mixed responses from Essex County supervisors this week.

NCCC interim president Fred Smith visited the Essex County Ways and Means committee June 29 to introduce the college’s recently approved budget and the plans for its next big construction project.

While part of the increase in next year’s budget would be offset by higher tuition, Smith explained that the college would need an additional $50,000 each from both Franklin and Essex counties to offset an anticipated loss in state aid.

Several supervisors spoke in approval of the increase, noting the success of its new Registered Nursing program at NCCC’s Ticonderoga branch.

“They’ve added curriculum that helps keep people in our area,” said Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas, commending the college for trimming its budget as much as possible.

Smith said one limitation to the new RN program was that it could only take in up to 30 students because each student needed a medical facility at which to complete their clinical experience. Still, it was certainly contributing to the goal of raising enrollment in Ticonderoga.

Smith mentioned other new programs in the works at NCCC, such as a proposal for an Environmental Science program and possible reinstitution of an inmate education program in nearby prisons.

The committee set July 20 as the date for a public hearing on the increased budget contribution. The funds could then be approved at the Aug. 3 board meeting or at a special meeting held immediately

following the public hearing.

In contrast, a request for $55,000 to help fund the architectural design of an upgrade to the Saranac Lake campus was met with less enthusiasm.

“The college has been neglectful in doing the kind of things that should have been done over the years,” said Smith, who said initial estimates of the construction ran as high as $33 million.

Smith stressed that the commitment to help fund the full project would likely be at least a year away.

“My guess is it would be 2011 before you see any shovel in the dirt,” he said.

Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston expressed opposition to funding additional construction at the college when so many county residents were already struggling financially.

“I think the timing couldn’t be worse for this right now,” said Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava, noting the radio system update and other large-scale projects the county would soon be undertaking.

Most spoke in favor of funding the construction planning, even if they were wary of the cost of the project.

“Nobody’s going to know what the real cost is until you have some sort of professional study,” said County Manager Daniel Palmer.

Schroon Lake Supervisor and board chair Cathy Moses said having a plan ready for construction might position the project for more state or federal funding.

Douglas and Ticonderoga Supervisor Robert Dedrick

noted the need to consider renovating a campus they said was “literally falling apart.”

“We will lose students if we don’t maintain facilities that are competitive,” said Dedrick.

The committee ultimately voted to approve the $55,000 allocation with Preston as the only member opposed.

had my first stint as a volunteer “ambassador” for our lovely town at the Heritage House Visitors Center last week, and I have to say that Nancy Decker and the other volunteers who have worked so hard to set up this facility have done a great job. They've got Westport memorabilia on display, binders with helpful information at your fingertips, and maps on the wall, as well as a rack of pamphlets highlighting local attractions.

It’s all attractively laid-out, and the Heritage House itself is very inviting, with brightly colored signs and flags beckoning visitors inside.

I was doing an afternoon shift, 1-4 p.m., and from what the ladies who were there for the morning shift said, it had been a slow morning. But I had two customers, which I figure is pretty good for a Thursday afternoon in June. An earlier shift had recorded six visitors in the log, so I wasn't even close to the record.

The first visitor was a friendly thirtyish guy from New Jersey who was driving along the Lakes to Locks Passage with his brother, who stayed in the car outside.

They were heading for the Vermont side of the lake, crossing at Rouses Point, and they had to be at their B & B there by 7.

When he said he was interested in a short hike, I knew I he'd be putty in my hands.

So, of course, I sent him up Coon Mountain. What better way to get an idea of the

local layout— lake, mountains, rolling countryside, all in their magnificent splendor on a sunny summer afternoon. And it's short, so he and his brother could stay on schedule. They could also pick up some ice cream or drinks on their way at one of our many excellent establishments. They drove off to what I'm sure was a very pleasant afternoon.

The second visitor presented an interesting contrast—a woman, also thirtyish, who lived in Montreal and was heading south, not north. And instead of hiking, she was interested in architecture. Plus, she already had ice cream (looked like mint-chocolate chip), which she was enjoying as I traced out a route that would take her to the Library, past our beautiful Victorians, and up to the Fairgrounds and the Depot. As she walked happily off, I wondered if she would finish that dripping cone before she got to the Library.

So enjoy this Fourth of July weekend.

Give your change to the firefighters, gasp at the fireworks on Friday night, pick up some candy at the parade on Saturday at noon, and partake of the afternoon and evening festivities afterward in Lee Park.

Don't forget the Library Book Sale next weekend, “Round and Round the Garden” at the Depot Theatre July 3-12, and the Idol Contest at the Whallonsburg Grange on July 10, 17, and 18. And remember how lucky we are to live in a place where people come to get away from it all.

he last weekend in June in Willsboro has become a great reunion weekend time. Family and friends gather for our local school’s graduating seniors. This year there were 26 students and many had special gatherings over the weekend. Congratulations to the whole class, and a special congratulation to the salutatorian, Kristen Hotaling, and the valedictorian Briana Reynolds. The new addition to the schools Wall of Distinction was James Mason, he was a great inspiration to many as he gave of himself over his lifetime.

The other gathering that calls many local and former Willsboro people back is the School Alumni Association reunion. This year some nearly 150 gathered at Crickets on Saturday evening. We were very much honored to have two former graduates serve as hosts. Master of ceremonies Wanda Reynolds McQueen and our speaker, David Leaning, both did a great job of keeping our program interesting. The 1959 class, (50’s reunion class) had a large turn out and a busy weekend. They gathered for a private gathering at the Sportsman’s Diner prior to Graduation, and then were the special guest of this year’s graduates. It was great to see many people that we are separated from for the better part of any given year.

It is great to see that the Farmer’s Market is growing each week with new venders. It was sad to hear that there may not be any more “Saywards’” fresh corn for sale this year.

Religion adds rose-colored glasses To the editor: The United States is known to us as a country that honors freedom of religion. It is an official, government-mandated position that every citizen is allowed to believe in the supernatural and the mystical, in any way he or she desires.

Likewise, in elections, each voter may vote according to his or her preference, including writing in the name of someone who is not listed on the ballot.

Official acceptance of religious preference is crucial to the democratic process. If citizens can be taught as children that their imaginary friends are real, that miracles happen all the

time, and that prayer works, then they will be very likely to believe that the USA is a democracy. Since there is no evidence of either the existence of God, angels, demonic spirits, or democracy, blind faith is essential. Without faith in God and Country, citizens would exercise discernment in matters of duplicity, and this would lead to public unrest.

In order for the USA to keep rolling along on its course of world domination and terror, the citizens must be kept content. Perpetual war is hugely profitable for the rich, who bankroll both sides of any major conflict. The working caste of the US have an unlimited supply of cannon fodder (their grown sons and daughters) for the rich to throw into battle, and their parents gladly encourage it. The children of the rich class, of course, stay out of harm's way, to continue their grooming for positions of rule.

As long as the great masses of the USA continue to believe in their imaginary childhood friends, they will probably continue to believe that this country is all about freedom and democracy, even though all the evidence screams that the US government is the greatest terrorist organization in the world (Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki - wholesale slaughter of civilian populations) bent on world domination, and trying hard to care less about humanity.

The great mass of working caste citizens believe otherwise, as response to this letter will bear out. They apparently prefer to believe fairy tales and cover stories. And that is a criminal shame on them.

To the editor: I am writing in reference to June 27 front page headline on "Former Essex Town Supervisor Escapes Second DWI Conviction." I am appalled that this was even published in the paper, let alone the front page. Anyone who knows this man knows he has the utmost love for his family, friends and community. He would never hurt a soul. To resurface all the pain this man, family and community has had to live with all these years for his "previous incident" is just cruel.

My thoughts are its an election year, and someone is trying to make a gain. People get DWI's daily in this area, some of which are their second and third convictions,why aren't they on the front page? This kind man has a reputable business in the North Country that may have just been devastated by politics. Devastate one man's life, to make a gain on your own; shame on you!

Confidence lost in Essex County DA To the editor: After reading a recent article about a former Essex Town supervisor who was driving drunk, fell asleep at the wheel, and then was not charged with any sort of crime, I have lost all confidence in our District Attorney, Julia Garcia. Does this mean that if you are most obviously driving drunk and then somehow manage to pull over and fall asleep at the wheel that you cannot be charged with a crime? I am glad I or my kids did not meet Mr. Morse on the road as he was driving drunk.

SATURDAY July 4, 2009

ADIRONDACK Unlike our youth, I’m still here CRYPTOGRAM I 've been a bit surprised to get a handful of e-mails and comments from people in the past few days asking me if I'm leaving the Valley News. I suppose a Help Wanted ad in last week's issue seeking an editor for Denton Publications might have given people that impression.

The truth is, that job opening is for an editor of the News Enterprise, our regional newspaper for Johnsburg and the surrounding area. As far as I know, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. Still, it's nice to think I'd be missed.

Speaking of employment opportunities, I can't help but think of what possibilities there are out there for all of our local graduates this year. Sure, most of them will head to college in the fall, but what will they do this summer? Where will they end up when they've finally got their college degrees?

With unemployment levels still swelled, many expect it will be harder than ever for our young people to find temporary employment this summer. It’s good to know that there is at least one program available that will assist them; the Summer Youth Employment Program through One WorkSource.

Though the May 30 deadline to apply for this program has already passed, I hope that many of our local young adults ages 14-24 have decided to take advantage of it. I have a feel-

ing they'll need all the help they can get.

It’s encouraging to see so many graduates looking to expand their horizons by attending college outside this region, and even out of state.

After all, there simply won’t be enough careers here for all

By Matt Bosley of them when they’re ready to enter the workforce. I've said time and time again how it doesn’t take a detailed statistical analysis to see that there are very few opportunities for young professionals here.

Still, with the excellent education they receive at our local schools, I think many of our graduates will have a good shot at making an impact wherever they land a job. Congratulations to the members of the Class of 2009, and here’s to hoping that someday you get to bring your talents back to the place that helped shape you.

t’s time to answer some questions from readers like you who are learning to Super-Coupon:

Dear Jill, I never knew that I could stack a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon that I clipped from the newspaper. After picking up this tip I learned from you, I am already saving a lot! Here’s my question. One local grocery store I like publishes its store coupons in the weekly flyer. Another store puts them on its Web site, which somehow transfers them to your store card. How does this work? Is it worth trying?

Dear Shopper, Many grocery stores offer store coupons that can be electronically loaded to your store’s shopper loyalty card. Here’s how it works.

If your store offers electronic coupons, visit the store’s Web site and look for the coupon area. You’ll be prompted to input the number of your shopper loyalty card. If it’s your first time visiting the site, you may also be asked to register for a free account. Once you sign in, a list of current coupons will appear.

At some grocery chains, the coupons that appear on your screen are tailored to you, based on your purchase history collected through use of your loyalty card. If you’ve purchased diapers in the past you might receive discounts on other baby items. If you’ve purchased pet food you may see coupons for pet treats and supplies. You also may receive discounts for a brand that competes directly with a product that you purchase regularly. At other grocery chains, all Web site visitors are offered the same selection of electronic coupons.

Regardless of how a store determines the assortment of coupons available to you, loading them onto your shopper’s card is quite simple. Typically, the store’s Web site either loads all of the available coupons to your card automatically or it will prompt you to click the specific offers you’d like to add. Once they’re added, you’re ready to shop! You don’t even need to print the page from the Web site; the discounts will register automatically when your card is scanned at the register.

Ready for the best part of electronic coupons? Because they’re tied to your shopper’s card they function as store coupons, so you can “stack” manufacturer coupons on top of them for even bigger savings. If you have a $1 electronic coupon for apple juice and add a manufacturer’s 50-cent

coupon you’ll save a total of $1.50.

Dear Jill, Do you ever have problems with cashiers? I went to the store yesterday with some coupons I printed from the Internet and the cashier told me they didn’t take Internet coupons. But I printed the coupons right from the store’s own Web site. Is there anything I can do?

Coupon Queen

By Jill Cataldo

Dear Shopper, I’ve heard this question from other shoppers. I, too, have gone to the store with a fistful of Internet coupons, ready to slash my grocery bill dramatically, only to hear “We don’t take Internet coupons.” This can be frustrating to a shopper who knows that the store has always taken them in the past and, as you said, the store offers the printable coupons on its own Web site.

So what’s a shopper to do? The answer can be found in the store’s own coupon policy. Many stores publish their coupon policies online so that shoppers can read them before coming to the store. If your store doesn’t have its policy online e-mail them and ask for a copy or ask for one at the customer service counter when you visit the store.

Coupon policies are a shopper’s best friend. They outline almost everything you could ever want to know about coupons. Does the store double coupons? Does it accept Internet coupons? Are there limits on how many coupons a shopper can use? Armed with these answers, you’ll be better prepared to shop at your favorite store. In many cases, you’ll also learn what I suspect is true in your case – that the store does accept Internet coupons (especially if the store offers them on its own site!) It appears that your cashier was simply confused about the store’s policy. © CTW Features Jill Cataldo, a coupon workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal.

Sinners and Saints A

ll saints have a past and all sinners have a future;” wise words and a sentiment that many of us too often ignore.

The untimely passing of pop star Michael Jackson is a reminder that as human beings we are all fraught with uniquely human frailties. While I am not a fan of Jackson’s music, it was obvious that he was ridiculously talented within his musical genre, pop music. Jackson’s dance routines, so rich in

By Scot Hurlburt precision and discipline, were a sharp contrast when juxtaposed with his personal life. Jackson serves as a reminder of the complexity of ordinary and extraordinary people, a universal and undeniable human truth.

Public figures’ lives are chronicled in the national media and we vicariously experience their personal state of affairs. Our morbid collective curiosity around what should be intensely private stories of personal distress or destruction is a commentary on the darker side of human nature. Within our own communities we sometimes see less dramatic examples of people’s lives coming unglued. While I am not suggesting that we should ever turn a blind eye to those that deeply injure others lives, we all could be more tolerant and understanding in our dealings with those that

Shore From page 1 properties along Furnace Point Lane. The plan was approved by the Westport Planning Board in 2004 and included specified footprints where future buildings could be constructed.

Though the reasons are unclear, the present absence of trees on Lever’s lot as compared to just a few years ago is extremely visible, and has drawn the attention of both the town and the Adirondack Park Agency.

According to minutes from Westport Planning Board meetings, Lever claimed that an April 2007 mudslide not only brought down trees along the steep slope leading down to the lake, but also compromised part of the area where he was allowed to build. He has claimed that the work done on his lot was to remediate erosion problems.

“Mr. Lever has done no development of his lot,” said Lever’s attorney, John Privitera. “All he has done, at great expense, is to stabilize his lot since the first mudslide under a professional erosion control plan that was approved, and lauded, by all state and local authorities.”

Lever submitted a proposed site plan to the planning board in October 2008 that included a house within the specified building envelope, as well as a garage, gazebo, and boat house elsewhere on the lot. None of the buildings have yet been built.

The APA has restrictions that prohibit the clearing of vegetation from more than 30 percent of a shoreline on a given lot or 30 percent of mature trees from within 35 feet of a shoreline during a 10-year period. The agency also prohibits cutting of trees in preparation for a project that has not yet been permitted.

A letter from acting APA enforcement director Mark Sengenberger issued on June 5 instructed Lever that his clear-cutting, excavation and construction of a retaining wall on the property were believed to be in violation of shoreline restrictions and inconsistent with the development approved by the town planning board.

The APA asked Lever to refrain from any further work on the property “until this matter has been resolved and the enforcement case concluded.” It stressed that Lever should take appropriate action to ensure erosion control in the meantime.

“We sent a letter asking the property owner

to stop his construction at this time,” said APA spokesman Keith McKeever, “and he agreed to do so.”

“This request was not necessary, as Mr. Lever has been compliant,” said Privitera. “The request has surely been honored.”

According to McKeever, Westport has the authority to issue permits for any Class B building projects because the town has an APA-approved local land use program. It also has a significant amount of jurisdiction in enforcing those permits, he said.

In this case, however, the town sought assistance from the APA in reviewing the site and making a determination for enforcement.

“The town board is of the opinion that the building permit issued by the town has been violated,” said Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell.

A resolution passed at the June 9 Westport Town Board meeting said the board supports the APA “proceeding with enforcement action, if necessary, to rectify the violations involved with this project.”

Though APA and town officials won’t comment on just what they determine to be in violation on Lever’s property, it’s clear that some people are not pleased with what has occurred there.

“It certainly is the poster child on how not to develop a lakeside lot in the Adirondacks,” said Keith Giles, who owns the property just east of Lever’s and has taken exception to his use of the land.

Giles, who moved into his newly constructed home in 2006, said he and Lever started out as good neighbors.

“The falling out started when he began cutting all the vegetation off his lot,” he said.

Lever has blamed development on Giles’ property for the mudslide, but Giles claims the mudslide is a result of Lever’s disturbance of the wooded bank. He provided the planning board with an engineer’s report that supports his claim.

“My lot is lower than his,” said Giles.

“Drainage does not run uphill.”

Giles stressed that he is not opposed to Lever building on the property, but felt the level of development there was out of bounds.

“It’s his lot and he can do what he wants with it, but he has to do it in compliance with the law,” said Giles. “If everybody stripped the shoreline like he did, nobody would want to come to Westport.”

Lodge From page 1 Placid, Potsdam, and North Creek.

Rebecca Kelly and her husband, Craig Brashear, who heads the Appleby Foundation, have also lived seasonally in the area for the past 22 years at their home in Silver Lake.

Dozens of local residents joined them at a June 27 reception hosted by American Legion Post 504 as they presented their plan for the new Tahawus Lodge Center.

“In our 35 years as practicing artists and through our notfor-profit organization, the Appleby foundation... we have created programs which strengthen communities through the arts,” said Kelly.

Kelly said they chose the Tahawus Lodge because of its prominent location in the center of Au Sable Forks and its proximity to I-87, Burlington, Plattsburgh, Lake Placid, and Montreal. Also, the presence of a revitalization committee showed a strong commitment to reviving the community.

“We gradually came to think as we established a more permanent presence in this region that the Tahawus Lodge Center could be its anchor,” said Kelly.

Plans for the building include restoring the picture-window storefront and renovating the ground floor as a retail space. The second floor would be turned into an open art studio and meeting space and the third floor converted into a dance and wellness center.

“We’re thrilled,” said Au Sable Forks Revitalization committee chair Susan Pulitzer, noting how synergistic the Appleby Foundation’s plans for the building are with the committee’s goals for Main Street. “It’s a nice marriage.”

In less than a month, $80,000 has already been pledged toward the project, which is being designed by Essex architectural team Premises.

Brashear said they expect to fund 40 percent of the project through contributions from businesses and individuals.

The rest will come from state grants and assistance.

“The Tahawus Lodge Center project is a viable and welcome addition to Au Sable Forks to make it a better place to live and work,” said Barbara Brassard, Essex County Empire Zone Coordinator. “This project not only deserves, but demands total support.”

Brassard said since the Tahawus Lodge Center is an approved Community Development Project within Essex County Empire Zone, contributions of $500 or more to the project are eligible for a 25 percent tax credit against state income tax.

“The revitalization process doesn’t happen overnight, but in steps,” Brassard added, “and the renovation of the Tahawus Lodge is one of those steps.”

Because the project is beginning in 2009, it is also eligible for funds from a $200,000 main street revitalization grant awarded to the town of Jay from New York State.

“I have read their project overview, and their overall plan for enhancing an anchor building in Au Sable Forks will have a significant economic impact on our community,” said Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas in a press release. “Their sincere dedication to enhancing new opportunities for our youth is greatly appreciated.”

First Essex County Swine Flu case confirmed ELIZABETHTOWN — The global pandemic known as swine flu has reached Essex County.

The Essex County Public Health Department reported June 29 that it received notification of its first confirmed case of H1N1 swine flu, a newly discovered virus that has spread to 70 countries worldwide and all 50 states.

“This does not come as a surprise,” said Essex County Public Health Director Kathryn Abernethy. “With the number of confirmed H1N1 cases in New York State, we anticipated that it would only be a matter of time before we had our first confirmed case.”

Notification came from the Vermont State Department of Health, as the patient had been hospitalized in Vermont.

People who have been in close contact with the patient are being advised to go home at the earliest sign of flu symptoms. They will be advised to stay home for at least seven days or until at least 24 hours after they are symptom-free.

“Our goal is to minimize the spread of disease in this community,” said Abernethy.

Abernethy said it is likely others have had H1N1 influenza in Essex County as confirmed cases of the virus are prevalent throughout New York State.

The symptoms of H1N1 swine flu in people appear to be similar to the symptoms of regular seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting as well, but Abernethy emphasized that these symptoms alone are not the flu.

Anyone with flu symptoms are urged to stay at home and contact their health care provider, limiting contact with others to avoid the spread of infection.

Abernethy encouraged regular hand washing and avoiding contact with sick people as some of the best ways to prevent the spread of illness.

According to the Center for Disease Control, more than 2,270 cases of H1N1 swine flu have been confirmed in New York State with a total of 35 deaths resulting. Only Texas, Illinois, and Wisconsin have recorded more cases.

Wadhams tour blends history, ecology WADHAMS — Join the Wadhams United Church of Christ (UCC) and the Boquet River Association (BRASS) next weekend for a guided historic and ecological walking tour.

The Wadhams Then and Now tours on July 11 and 12 will feature historians, musicians, artists, and naturalists applying their expertise to illuminate the vibrant past of this historic hamlet and celebrate the community that flourishes today.

The 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. excursions will begin at the UCC’s restored parish hall, a building that dates back to 1830. Guides will bring the period to life through stories, costumes, and 19th century Adirondack folk music.

As the tour moves through Wadhams, participants will learn from Church His-

torian Evelyn Brant and Essex Town Historian Shirley LaForest about the architectural styles evidenced over the years of rebuilding and expansion.

Subsequent tour stops will include a discussion by Boquet BRASS staff Julie Martin and Emily Stigliani of the natural and social history of the river and current watershed issues, a performance of period music by folksingers Richard Staber and Judith Chasnoff, a talk by Wadhams librarian Liz Rapalee on the early industries clustered around the falls, a tour of the restored 1905 hydroelectric plant, and a guided walk through the Wadhams cemetery featuring the graves of notable town ancestors.

The tour will culminate with a sampling of the artisanal brick-oven-baked

breads from the Dogwood Bakery and a display of local wood craftsmanship by Wadhams artist Courtney Fair. After the tasty snack, participants can head home to put their feet up or continue on for a short hike up Coon Mountain.

Admission prices are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and children 12 and older. Children under 12 are free. Each tour allows for 25 people, so reservations are required. For additional information or to make a reservation, call 963-8642, 963-4710 or e-mail info@boquetriver.org.

The tours are supported by grant funding from the Arts Council of the Northern Adirondacks, the New York State Council on the Arts, and a Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial grant from the Natural Heritage Trust.

successful fundraisers, according to club president Justin Hooper.

“We were pleased with the community’s support last year. Individuals who participated and businesses that took part as sponsors helped make the event a real success,” Hooper said. “The community is being even more generous this year, which is wonderful.

Keene by supporting local food banks, health care organizations, fire departments and other community organizations. Each year, it offers a total of $2,500 in scholarships to students graduating from its community high schools.

Sales From page 1 Equalization rates provide a ratio by which property tax fairness can be compared from town to town.

However, many questioned the process, which is seemingly shrouded in complicated mathematical formulas that often use data from neighboring towns.

Several supervisors complained that the data used in the analysis weren’t being shared with local assessors, leading to confusion and disagreement regarding equalization. Aiken held that such information was available to assessors if requested.

“We will answer any questions on any data that we supply them,” said Aiken.

Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava still said the lack of communication made it difficult for towns, most of which have part-time assessors.

“Why don’t you put the information in the packet as to how they arrived at the [market value] instead of having the assessors go hunting for it?” he asked.

Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow described the precarious situation in his town, where the most houses being sold are Port Kent properties being purchased by second homeowners for

significantly more than the assessed value. He expressed concern that such extraordinary sales could skew market value data in his town and lead to inflated assessments on other properties.

Mallison agreed that assessments for waterfront property posed a problem, but that to change the way they are assessed would require new legislation at the state level.

Ron Jackson, Essex supervisor and chairman of the committee, was among many who questioned how increases in assessments could be justified during a time when many houses are being sold for less than their assessed value.

“It puts the assessors in a horrible spot,” he said.

According to Aiken, ORPS can often verify the level of assessment stated by local assessors if reassessments are done regularly. If not, they try to use a sales ratio study that compares current assessment to the sale prices of recently sold homes in the town.

“If we don’t have enough sales there to give us a statistic townwide, we try to expand the market area,” Aiken explained.

In those cases, the agency uses CAMA, a computerized statistical analysis that uses certain formulas comparing sales in the target town with those in neighboring towns in an effort to produce a more reliable valuation of properties.

“One of the problems with the [sales ratio] study going back three years is that the data could be out of date,” said North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi, arguing that it wouldn’t be representative of recent steep declines in market value.

Politi also questioned the CAMA method, which often uses home sales in Lake Placid and other nearby towns to estimate market values in Keene, a town where very few homes sell each year.

Mallison assured the committee analysis through CAMA made reliable adjustments when comparing sales from outside towns.

“The CAMA models that they build actually take into practice that there are differences between Lake Placid and Elizabethtown,” he said.

Scozzafava questioned the number of sales needed to make a reliable analysis, arguing that the use of CAMA led to an unnecessarily low equalization rate in Moriah.

According to Mallison, a sales ratio study requires less than 100 sales as samples while CAMA analysis usually requires about 300.

CAMA was required in the case of Moriah, he said, because raised assessments were skewed toward recently sold homes.

“Our model, from a statistical basis, doesn’t work with a limited number of sales,” said Mallison, “and that’s difficult in a rural area. Our job is to be statistically accurate.”

Mallison said his agency continues to work on ways to make the property tax system more fair statewide and that they would at least reevaluate the methods used to determine equalization in areas with very few sales.

“I will go back to the office and have a serious discussion about what our statistical analysis are,” said Mallison. “We want to be able to reflect what the local officials see as fair in the rural areas.”

Emerald Ash Borer found in New York

I

’ve had several people ask me if I knew anything about the purple triangles that resemble box-kites which have been turning up in trees along Adirondack roadsides.

I inquired at the DEC and was told the devices are being used to trap and monitor the spread of a rather nasty invasive beetle called the Emerald Ash Borer.

Originally discovered in southeastern Michigan in 2002, the beetle has slowly migrated east and was just recently discovered in the southern part of New York State.

That’s bad news for the more than 900 million ash trees in the state — a number that makes up about seven percent of all the trees here.

As its name implies, the Emerald Ash Borer gnaws its way into the trunk of a tree.

Damage is done by the larvae, which feed in tunnels called galleries just below the bark.

The primary method of transport is through untreated firewood, which is why the DEC has banned out-of-state firewood and restricted intrastate transport of firewood that has not been kiln dried to 50 miles.

Still, that is a tough regulation to police.

“This discovery emphasizes the need to establish a national early detection network around major ports of entry so we can intercept these pests before they become established,” said Troy Weldy, director of Ecological Management for The Nature Conservancy. “It is also important for citizens to understand that these pests are easily transported in firewood. We ask everyone to do their part by only burning wood close to where they buy it."

DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis had similar sentiments.

“This is yet another wake-up call for all New Yorkers that invasive species pose a grave threat to the health of our natural resources and ecosystems, and ultimately, our economy. Tough but practical measures, such as quarantines, firewood regulations, public education and other regulatory actions will continue to be needed if we are to limit the damage from EAB and other invasives.”

OUTDOORS • VALLEY NEWS - 15

Lost in the woods, or stolen?

I

’ve long been a proponent of our North Country way of life. It remains a slice of small town America at its best. We live in a familiar place where we know our neighbors.

It’s a good feeling to walk down Main Street and say “hello” to the people you meet on a first name basis. And if you don’t know their first name, you probably still know their parents.

It’s a staple of our existence, we look after each other. We eagerly lend a hand when needed. And it goes without saying, that for such simple favors, nothing is asked nor expected beyond a hardy thank you or a kind pat on the back.

The notion of accepting a monetary reward for shoveling a neighbor’s car out from under a snowdrift is unheard of. I guess this is due to the understanding that someday the favor will be returned, whether with a tow out of the mud or a jump-start on a cold winter’s morn.

We remember, what goes around comes around. Good deeds or bad deeds, they always return to the owner.

In that same vein of reasoning, many local folks still leave their house doors unlocked and their keys in the car. Often an empty car is found running in front of a local post office or a purse is left behind at the grocery store counter.

In most cases, nothing terrible happens.

Someone will turn the car off or call about the misplaced purse. As a group, we don’t live in fear of such things as identity theft; why would we? Up here, everybody knows each other and we like it that way.

Maybe it’s because we’re a sentimental lot and we want to hold onto the innocence of that old familiar, small town charm. It used to be that way; but times are changing. Sadly, we’re going to have to change too.

There was a time, not too long ago, that you could leave anything in the woods short of a bottle of whiskey; and nobody would bother with it. Woodland travelers, it has always seemed, operate on a different standard.

We respect each other and the sacredness of our surroundings. This isn’t a cityscape where everyone views the other with a jaded eye or a second glance.

I’ve never given a second thought to setting up a camp and leaving it unattended all day. Nor have I ever considered hiding gear while I took a quick shuttle up the road to retrieve a vehicle after a long river float.

Maybe, I’m just too trusting. I know of many that used to be that way as well. But, in the past few years, I’ve heard my share of stories. Canoes stolen, oars missing, rods ripped off and even motors and batteries taken from boathouses.

Cars have been pilfered at trailheads and gas tanks siphoned. Hikers have returned from a day’s journey to vacant campsites, where their $500 tents used to stand. Backpacks and even snowshoes missing after taking one last quick ski around the loop.

In reality, we really don’t know all of our neighbors anymore and despite what we’d like to believe, Andy of Mayberry was just television fiction and Aunt Bee doesn’t really bake pies.

In fact, that creepy looking guy, who you thought only hung out at the mall, may actually be the guy that’s tromping down the trail in front of you.

Cars idling in the parking lot and purses left at the store, no more! That special innocence has been violated, more than once.

Although it’s been a few years since a thief grabbed packbaskets, PFD’s and paddles out of our canoe while we shuttled vehicles, a more recent incident robbed my faith in fellow outdoor travelers.

Last weekend, as I returned from a day of bass fishing on the St. Regis Lakes, I carefully placed a black and teal colored, Mountainsmith pack on the dock at the public landing since it had my most valuable belongings. I left the other gear in the boat.

After the confusion of replacing a number of blown fuses in the truck, I hitched up the trailer and drove away. In the hustle, I didn’t realize that I’d left the pack behind. It contained a Sony Cybershot digital camera (with a Vivatar lens cap), a 20 year collection of fly and spin tackle, a

spruce colored, EMS GorTex jacket, a cell phone and my sportsman’s wallet.

I was almost to town when I remembered. After dropping the boat and trailer at a friend’s house, I immediately returned to the landing.

Although I was only gone for about 20 minutes, the pack and all my valuables was gone for at least 19.

Over the years, I’ve found numerous items at the St. Regis landing ranging from Skilsaws to chainsaws, lunch buckets to tackle boxes.

Commonly, such items are left by construction crews, or on the rare occasion, by an absent-minded angler. They were always returned.

There is a certain degree of satisfaction that comes with returning a lost item. Usually, all it takes is a note posted on the dock’s bulletin board or at the local post office. Notice can also be given to the lake stewards, who greet boaters upon arrival at the boat landing. Even the local newspapers offer free ads for lost and found items as a public service.

It’s always nice to see an individual’s appreciation upon retrieving their lost items.

The reward is a genuine good feeling for doing the right thing. It’s a wonder they are so happy when another human being is simply being honest.

With hopes that an honest individual picked up the pack, I sent a text message to my cell phone. The message read, “Reward offered for the return of this phone and the pack that it was in.”

I knew that the phone was still turned on.

My wallet, with identification and phone number was also in the pack. I waited, but no one called.

The next day, I reported the theft to the State Police. When the Trooper finished the interview, he asked, “If we find the person responsible, do you want them prosecuted?

That is our job.”

“You know,” I began, “ I’d just like to get my gear back, but it’s been almost 48 hours.

If it were an honest individual, I’d have my pack back by now. I’d like you to do your job.”

Two days later, my wallet was found along the side of Route 3, near the intersection of Alderbrook Park Road. The contents were scattered as if it had been thrown out the window of a moving vehicle. My cell phone is probably somewhere along the same stretch of highway.

I hope that some honest parent, guardian or disgusted spouse reads this story and recognizes the new Sony camera with a Vivatar lens cap or the spruce colored, EMS GorTex rain jacket that some slug just brought home in a nice, Mountainsmith pack.

The reward still stands and my email address is listed below. However, from now on the packs will stay on my back and a paddle in my hand.

A bottle of whiskey may now be considered safe, but a camp no longer is. It’s a sad day when the Adirondack woods and waters are no longer considered the habitat of honest men.

Audrey Hoskins, Town Clerk VN-7/4/09-1TC-34352 ----------------------------------------PRELIMINARY NOTIFICATION OF POSSIBLE IMPACT TO AN IMPORTANT LAND RESOURCE The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development is considering a final application for financial assistance from the Town of Essex for their Sewer District No. 1 Sewer Treatment and Collection System Project.

The proposed project improvements include the construction of a wastewater collection and treatment system to be placed in existing neighborhoods within the hamlet of Essex encompassing areas of the designated Historical District and containing approximately 130 residential users. A sewage treatment plant will be constructed outside of the hamlet approximately 1000 feet west of Main Street along NYS Route 22 on lands designated for Resources Management by the Adirondack Park Land Use and Development Plan Map. In addition, included grind pumpers, two cluster pump stations and one main pump station will be needed. The majority of the proposed work will be located utilizing the existing road rights-ofway easement limits. Two APA property subdivisions are needed, one for the main pump station to be located in the Ferry parking lot and another two lot subdivision for the wastewater treatment plant encompassing 1.9 acres with access from NYS Route 22. Wastewater will be pumped to the treatment plant and discharged into Library Brook, adjacent to Lake Champlain following treatment and disinfection. The proposed project will alleviate the problems residents are experiencing with existing on-site sewage treatment systems that are in various modes of failure or are inappropriate for the site and soil conditions found in the Hamlet.If implemented, the proposed action may impact areas of floodplains. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of this possible result and to request comments concerning (1) the impacts of the proposed location on floodplains (2) alternative sites or actions that would avoid these impacts, and (3) methods that could be used to reduce these impacts. The proposed action is available for review at the following USDARural Development office located at 2530 State Route 40, Greenwich, NY 128349627.Any person interested in commenting on the proposed action may do so by sending such comments within 30 days following the date of this publication to the Town of Essex, 2313 Main Street, P.O. Box 355, Essex, NY 12936.

A general location map of the proposed action is available at the local servicing office.
