Graduates share memories, wisdom
ETC presents ‘Gypsy’
By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ESSEX COUNTY — Graduates across Essex County celebrated their graduation ceremonies June 26 and 27. This year ’s graduates leave with meaningful memories from their school days, and a desire to take what they’ve learned and use it toward achieving their goals.
Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School The Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School Class of 2009 understand that learning and growth come from rising out of difficult times. In his speech, salutatorian Logan Morris encouraged his classmates to learn from their experiences and to be willing to step outside their comfort zones. “Your comfort zone will expand with every mistake and experience you have,” said Morris. “Sure, you’ll make a fool of yourself here and there... maybe even lose a little pride, but who honestly doesn’t like the individual who isn’t afraid to mess up or make a fool of themselves, anyway? It’s an affable characteristic, sometimes even envied by some.” Valedictorian Rebekah White’s speech focused on achieving dreams in the midst of adversity. “Everybody has a dream, be it large or small,” she said. “For some of us, getting by from day to day is a fantasy in itself.” White gave a heartwarming tribute to Nathan Hammond, an ELCS student who died in 2007 after a lifelong battle with Cystic Fibrosis. Hammond would have graduated this year. “He worked hard in our class with dreams of becoming an EMT. He was such a hard worker and displayed this trait by starting his own small engine repair business,” said White. “Beyond that, he was a nice person and hardly self-centered, which he easily could have been because of his sickness. He had a character that he never lost, regardless of what people

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ESSEX — The Essex Theatre Company kicks off its 2009 summer season next week with the award-winning musical, “Gypsy.”
Written by Arthur Laurents, with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, this engaging musical is based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, but according to director Susan Hughes, “Gypsy” is so much more. “It’s about family and relationships,
hopes, dreams and expectations. In addition, it is a salute to the vaudeville theatre of the 1930s,” Hughes said. The story follows Momma Rose and her two daughters, June and Louise as

PLATTSBURGH — The new regional 2-1-1 telephone system is now on-line after nearly three years of planning and development. During a press conference held June 30, John C. Bernardi, executive director of the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties, stated the system is now available for use in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. The system operates similar to the 9-1-1 emergency and 41-1 information systems, said Bernardi, allowing callers to dial — at no cost — a three-digit number to be connected with health and human service providers in the tri-county area. The service, which is accessible by dialing 2-1-1 from a cellular or landline phone, will connect callers with a central call center where an operator is available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. The operator is then able to refer

DA debate on again in Essex County By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A once-cancelled debate between candidates for Essex County District Attorney has been reinstated after a challenger agreed to participate. Republican-endorsed candidate Kristy Sprague had originally declined an invitation to participate in an Aug. 27 debate scheduled at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, citing a desire to wait until after the Sept. 15 primary election. After a conversation with Adirondack Daily Enterprise editor Peter Crowley, however, Sprague ultimately decided to join the debate. “When Peter Crowley called me I suggested to him that there may still be a forum that can be used on Aug. 27,” said Sprague. “He thought it a great idea, and I guess we are back on.” Sprague said she was never opposed to a debate, but was concerned about getting information to voters, and especially encouraging undecided voters to attend the debate. “Open lines of communication and information sharing was all we needed from the beginning to get a debate scheduled,” said Sprague. Incumbent Julie Garcia, who has won the endorsement of Essex County Democrats, is still planning to run against Sprague in the Republican primary. She said she is delighted to hear there will be a debate. “The timing is perfect as the debate is scheduled before the Sept. 15 primary election,” Garcia said. “As the Republican incumbent, and in the interest of fairness, I want my opponent to have the opportunity to meet with the voters of our county before the primary.”
A panel comprised of journalists from local news media agencies — including Denton Publications — will present questions to the candidates, some of which will be questions submitted by the public. Both candidates said they are ready to present their major points in public. “We have implemented many changes in the DA's Office over the last few years,” said Garcia. “I am looking forward to discussing our achievements at the debate.” “I am an open and up-front candidate that welcomes this debate with much enthusiasm and look forward to speaking to all of the voters of Essex County,” said Sprague. “I would love for them to hear my views as the endorsed Republican candidate and compare them to the views of my Democratic opponent.”

The canoe and trike races, plus the Ice Cream Social and Professor Marvel's magic show, courtesy of the Christopher Emmet Hallowell Fund, also had a bigger crowd than ever. Those who knew Christopher know what a wonderful way this is to honor the memory of his fun-loving and generous spirit. That evening Ernie LaPine and other tale-spinners had a good crowd of children of all ages for Story Hour. Among the spine-tingling stories Ernie regaled them with was one about Joseph Terry's grave, which can be seen up on Steele Woods Road. If I've piqued your curiosity about this tale, come to Story Hour next year. I'm sure Ernie can be persuaded to tell it again. But here's a story Ernie told me that I can share with you. Did you see the two unicyclists in the parade? They were Steve Gratto and his 11-year-old son, who happened to be driving through town when they got caught in the line of cars stopped for the parade. So what did they do? They got their unicycles out of the car and joined in. Steve even juggled while he rode. How's that for ad-libbing?

Marion Shearer will be their guest speaker at this occasion. So mark your calendar and come help them celebrate this milestone in their history.

We remember Gretna and twin, Etna, as they grew and became the solid citizens so important to this area. I don’t know about some of you folk, but I like reading “letters to the editor.” Unlike most newspapers which use pre-written articles, these letters tend to reflect local positions, most often polemic, and sometimes singular. I always, like to grade them, like, I used to, like, grade college freshman papers. Last week’s News had four letters. Three pulled down “passing grades;” they were succinct and prepared without pretentiousness. The fourth got an F, because it committed the most egregious writing fault: plagiarism.

She goes on to say “He never listens to my cries of pain. How can I get his attention?” Dear M, the best way to get his attention and change his indifference to you is to rap him with a six foot 2x4. What a July 4th parade in Essex! Walking politicians, 78 pounds of flying candy, the continuously improving Police Pipe Band from P-Burg, shortcake with freshly picked strawberries, lotsa floats, and the Methodist Sunday School float with our grandchildren on it, which should have won second prize, but was robbed. Lastly, the Firemen’s gut wrenching, heartburning, sausage, onions and green peppers on buns cooked with all natural organic grease made any fireworks unnecessary. The other fireworks will be ignited on July 11.

ell, a little rain didn't keep the crowd away from our Fourth of July parade, or dampen anybody's spirits as far as I could tell. It certainly didn't stop our able announcer, Ernie LaPine, who had to ad-lib a little when the registration papers about the various floats and vehicles got wet and he couldn't read them. As Ernie told me, no one ever accused him of freezing up in front of a microphone. Ernie even said he thought the crowd was a little bigger this year than in years past. "I thought it went great," he said. "It seems to be growing over the years." Ernie also pointed out that a lot of credit goes to Carol Schwoebel, who took over organizing the event a few years back, when it was in danger of being cancelled. So we all owe Carol a big thank-you, along with all the other volunteers (including her husband, Jeff) who worked so hard to make the day such a big success. I'd say that I owe Carol a bigger thankyou than most, since I was lucky enough to be offered a spot on the coolest ride of all, the gorgeous old 1919 Model-T firetruck that is the pride of the Westport Number 1 Hose Company.

ell, the Fourth of July is now behind us and the summer events will come along rapidly. The parade in Essex was good and had quite a few entries. The rain did not hold back for the entries or the bystanders. We are very proud of the newly organized group of musicians from Willsboro that led the parade off; great job. It is always great to get to meet and see friends on this day and renew friendships. I noticed there were several out of town relatives back for a visit. The days ahead offer some exciting events that the public is encouraged to attend. The Willsboro United Methodist Church will be holding a large food sale on Sat. July 11 in front of the IGA Store starting at 9 a.m., and on the same day there will be a Quilt Exhibit at the Methodist Church, which starts at 10 a.m. Be sure to stop in and see the great hand work of local quilters. The Heritage Society is offering a walking tour of Old Willsborough on Sat. July 11 with Ron Bruno as the narrator on the tour. Those interested are to meet at the Museum by 9 a.m. It goes until 12. There is no set charge but a donation are most welcome. The United Methodist Women have a guest speaker, Lori St. Germain, for their July 14 meeting, 1 p.m. at the church. Ms. St. Germain will share her experiences as a U.S.O singer for the troops during the Desert Storm era.

Ware to challenge Connell for town post WESTPORT — The race is on for Westport’s highest elected position. Real estate broker Bruce Ware has announced his candidacy for Westport town supervisor, a post that has been held by Dan Connell for the better part of a decade. “I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while,” said Ware, who frequently attends town, school, and other community meetings. With his two children soon reaching adulthood, he saw this as the appropriate time to take a more active role. “I realized that if you want to set the agenda, you really have to be at the head of the table,” he said. Ware, 52, has lived yearround in Westport since 1989 when he and his wife, Carolyn, took over operations at Ernie’s Market. In 1993 he became licensed in real estate and has owned Weichert Realtors Venture North Associates since 1996. This will be his first run for an elected public office. Ware said he’s noticed a steady loss of jobs in Westport over the past five years; a trend that he hopes to reverse if elected. “I’m alarmed at the way things are going, and think I can make a difference for the community,” he said. Ware said he’d like to

Defense of Morse not deserved To the editor: (To the writer of last week’s letter to the editor entitled “Article on former supervisor appaling”) The title of your letter to the editor should have read "appalling former supervisor." The previous incident you refer to so casually killed one woman and almost killed another. Devastated is what Mr. Anson was when he witnessed the murder of his sister and the serious injuries to his wife. Thanks to this “kind” man, Mrs. Anson never had a day without pain for the last 23 years of her life. The appalling former supervisor doesn't deserve your defense. Norma Arsenault, Westport

Connell, 64, has put in his bid for re-election and is looking to continue managing some of the major projects that he’s undertaken for the town. “Basically, I’m running on my record,” said Connell, “a record that I think shows a lot of leadership in Westport.” During Connell’s administration, more than $10 million in grants and low-interest loans have been secured for town infrastructure such as parks and playgrounds, water and sewer systems, roads, and the architectural planning of a shared municipal garage. “All of the water and sewer systems, we were told by the state of New York we had to do,” said Connell, adding that spending control is another one of his major goals. He said that town staffing levels have been cut by more than a third to that end. Connell said he hopes to
continue oversee the proposed hamlet expansion in Westport so that people who want to settle in the town have more space to build homes. “If re-elected, I will continue to work to control taxes at both the town and county level,” said Connell, “and also to maintain the infrastructure in the town of Westport. Connell, a retired Essex County Cornell Cooperative Extension agent, said he intends to remain a full-time town supervisor if re-elected, and will continue to debate issues he feels are important at the county level. “I think sometimes people forget that’s part of the job,” he said.

bring a more proactive approach to town government, using his experience in business to attract more jobs and year-round residents to Westport. “I hope to get the community more involved with government,” said Ware. “The taxpayers are concerned about how their money is being spent.” If elected, Ware said his plan is to continue as a real estate broker, but would take a more hands-off approach to selling homes. He said he had difficulty imagining any situations where there might be a conflict of interests between the two positions. “My capacity as a realtor is really selling the town of Westport to people who don’t know it,” he said, noting that he could only benefit by improving conditions in the town. “If there is a conflict, I think you have to identify that, but I don’t picture there being one.” Ware will likely face off against another Republican who has thrown his hat into the ring: Bruce Dunning. Ware plans to circulate petitions as an independent candidate and will also seek the endorsement of the Conservative party. “I have a lot of respect for Dan Connell,” Ware added, “but I take exception to the direction the town is going. I think the people want a change.” Now in his fourth term,

The Boys of Summer T
he phrase, The Boys of Summer was penned in a book about the 1950’s Brooklyn Dodgers. Mineville's Johnny Podres figured prominently in finally bringing a World Series Championship to the bridesmaid Dodgers. Year after year, the Dodgers would race out to a regular season championship only to lose to the talent loaded Yankees or the much hated New York Baseball Giants. It was an era in which baseball enjoyed its greatest popularity. Perhaps that extraordinary popularity came from the connection that people felt to the players that were often community members. In many ways, the Boys of Summer, including Johnny Podres, represented the last generation of professional baseball players that had a relatively ordinary life outside baseball. Professional baseball players like Duke Snyder and Gil Hodges lived in ordinary homes in local neighborhoods. There were no multi-millionaire baseball superstars. There were superstars; however, the distance between them and ordinary people was relatively small when contemporary players are considered. An elderly gentleman that I know told me a story that exemplifies just how different players were from that era. He was at a ball game that featured the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Baseball Giants, though he wasn’t sure of the year. He sat behind the Giants dugout where Leo Durocher managed the team. Ed Stankey, the controversial second baseman is alleged to have shown up in the dugout late and not fully dressed to play. Durocher is said to have lined him out with volley after volley of excoriating cursing. Stankey was heard to say in response that he was late because he needed to mow the lawn at home. Stankey informed Durocher that he needed to return home to finish the job before his wife kicked him out of the house.
Durocher would have none of it and Stankey did play that day. The occurrence of a Stankey-like event today in professional baseball is unthinkable. While many baseball players of the Johnny By Scot Hurlburt Podres era worked a job in the off season, that likelihood today is probably rare. Yogi Berra said in an interview that winning the World Series provided a strong financial incentive because if you won the World Series you did not have to work in the off season. Some would say that something important was lost when the Boys of Summer passed into history. Some say the Boys of Summer are still around. As summer is upon us, Little League Baseball will take place in communities around Essex County. As fans and parents, attending games is a way to support our local youth. While in attendance, remember that more innocent time when the Boys of Summer called Ebbets Field home. Pictures of many of the players of that era, show them smiling. It left you feeling that they were happy to play baseball. Let our Boys of Summer enjoy baseball this summer. Help to keep the smiles on their faces. Let the game be about them playing the game of baseball. Don’t make it about you by criticizing umpires, coaches or players. The smell of freshly cut grass, the crack of the bat and the close call at home, that’s baseball. Remember, all kids count.

Double the Savings, Double the Fun I
've mentioned before that dollar sales paired with dollar coupons are one of my favorite ways to get free items at the grocery store. Another easy way is through double-coupon promotions. Double-coupon promotions are exciting! Many stores will match a coupon's face value and pass the savings on to you, the shopper. Some stores double coupons every day, while others run special double coupon promotions certain days of the week or times of the year. In some cases, stores may even offer triplecoupon days. Regardless of how your stores handle double coupons, they are a great way to save even more money and get items for free. Here's how coupon doubling works. If you have a 50-cent coupon, the cashier will scan it at the register and give you $1 off your item. Coupon doubling becomes even more fun when the doubled value equals the value of the item you're buying. Let's say you are buying a 2-liter bottle of soda that was on sale for a dollar. With a 50-cent coupon doubled to $1, your bottle of soda is free! The store matches the coupon's value of 50 cents and you pay nothing. So what happens if your doubled coupon value exceeds the cost of the item? During a recent double-coupon sale at a major retailer I purchased a $3.50 bottle of shampoo. I had a $2 coupon; the store doubled the coupon's value to $4. Now, as I've mentioned in a previous column, many stores do allow what couponers call overage, when the value of a coupon exceeds the cost of an item. In the case of overage, the extra value is applied to the rest of your total. However, stores that double coupons typically do not give overage. In this instance, the $2 coupon would double to a $4 value, but since the item is $3.50, the store will "adjust down" the value to match the cost of the item, making it free. It's important to check your store's policy on doubling coupons, too. Policies on coupon doubling vary by store and retail chain. Some stores may double all coupons up to 50 cents or
$1. Other stores may double coupons up to $2. Some stores will not double printable Internet coupons. Ask your store for a copy of its coupon policy, either at the store's service counter or online via the store's Web site. What if your store doesn't double coupons? Don't worry. You can still be a SuperCouponer even without double coupon promotions. I have noticed that double coupons tend to be a regional phenomenon. By Jill Cataldo In many markets, grocery stores may not offer double coupons at all. This is the case where I live, in the suburbs of Chicago, where major grocery stores simply don't offer double coupons. In fact, to find grocery stores that offer double coupons I travel 40 minutes away from the city, so I rarely get to take part in these promotions. I shop every week at a store that does not offer coupon doubling, and I still do very well at cutting my grocery bill significantly. At least one major retailer has started offering double-coupon promotions nationwide during certain times of the year. They're definitely worth watching for! With the current state of the economy, I would guess we'll see other retailers taking part in similar promotions in the weeks and months ahead.

Champlain Bridge project planned Renovation or replacement? By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The aging Champlain Bridge that connects Crown Point with Vermont will be renovated or replaced beginning in 2013. The New York State Department of Transportation has announced it has reached an agreement with the Vermont Agency of Transportation on a $50.1 million project. That’s goods news, Crown Point Supervisor Dale French said. “It’s not in great shape,” French said of the span. “There are some huge loads — 100,000 pounds — that cross that bridge every day. It looks bad, but I guess it’s safe. The state keeps checking it.” The bridge is owned by both New York and Vermont, although New York has been entrusted with the bridge’s maintenance. Under a prior agreement, the two states will share the cost of rehabilitation or replacement. “The project is in a preliminary planning stage,” DOT spokesman Peter Van Keuren said. “Construction is tentatively planned to begin in 2013.” HTNB Corporation of New York City has been selected as design consultant. Options include rehabilitation or replacement of the existing bridge. The 80-year-old bridge accommodates approximately 3,400 vehicles each day. The existing structure is a combination of a thru-truss, deck-truss and deck plate girders measuring 2,184 feet in length on 14 spans. The bridge received a “yellow flag” from the state in 2007 indicating it was in need of repair. Repairs to the bridge were completed in late 2008, and included removing loose concrete, doweling reinforcement into existing concrete and pouring new concrete pier caps. The “yellow flag” designation has since been removed. One of the first tasks the HTNB Corporation will complete is an evaluation of the existing structure to determine the feasibility of rehabilitating the bridge, including cost of the work and potential impacts to motorists,
41250
according to a DOT statement. All options will be identified and evaluated and public input will be solicited before progressing a particular alternative. A public advisory committee formed three years ago, consisting of representatives from New York and Vermont, will have a say in the final plans. French serves on that committee. He expects a fight between preservation groups who want to save the historic bridge and others who want a new bridge. “The preservationists will be the loudest,” French said. “But it would be really nice to see a new bridge that would accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists.” The advisory committee hasn’t met in more than a year, French said, but when it did discussions centered on a new bridge to be constructed just south of the existing span. The current bridge would remain open two years while the new one was built, French said. A new bridge has two major advantages over a renovation project, French said. It would be cheaper and it would allow for continued traffic flow. Because of its construction type, French, who is an engineer, said, the current bridge can’t be repaired one lane at a time. It would have to be renovated while closed. “Closing that bridge would create a state of emergency,” French said. “We have shared emergency services across the lake, not to mention the economic impact.” A temporary “military-style” bridge could use used during a renovation project, he said. That would interfere with lake traffic, though. Public information meetings will be scheduled during the project’s design phase to provide an opportunity for community input. The public can comment on the project by emailing r01-lakechamplainbridge @dot.state.ny.us, writing NYSDOT, Region One Design, 328 State Street, Schenectady 12305, Attn: James C. Boni, P.E., or calling 388-0200.

During off hours, a recording will greet callers with directions to call back during regular business hours. “The service is really there to provide callers with the information that they need to access services that are available in our region and close to their home,” explained Bernardi, who served as chairman of a steering committee established by the United Way for the system’s development. When the committee first began examining how the system would be established, various models and prototypes of programs were considered. The committee ultimately decided to
VALLEY NEWS - 7 contract with an existing call center in the Hudson Valley region to develop and operate the service. The annual operating cost of the system is approximately $85,000 — a fraction of the estimated $350,000-$500,000 cost the committee found it would take to establish and operate a new call center here. The cost of planning and developing the system was funded by a combination of local in-kind resources and through 2-1-1 New York, the organization which facilitates the implementation of 2-1-1 systems. The overall cost to operate the system is being funded through a combination of public-private partnerships such as the United Way, major gifts and endowments and state funding. Essex Town Supervisor Ronald Jackson, who also served on the steering committee, said now the service is here, it will be a benefit to
all who use it. “It makes it easier for people to get the information they need ... particularly in times of crisis,” Jackson said, referring to how the 91-1 system can sometimes receive many nonemergency calls. “It’ll help take some of the load off 9-1-1 and free them up to focus on the emergency services for which they’re needed.” “We believe this will be an extremely valuable service for residents throughout the region,” added Bernardi, “not only for the day-to-day health and human service needs, but also in times of disaster when communication and information becomes even that much more critical.” In addition to the threedigit phone number, a tollfree number has been established in the unlikely event service through 2-1-1 is unavailable. That number is 1888-774-0289.

Willsboro road construction in the works By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — With significant public outcry regarding the condition of State Route 22 between Willsboro and I-87 Exit 33, state officials are making it known that the road is not being ignored. A petition signed by 1,200 local residents calling for repairs to the road was recently submitted to state representatives and state Department of Transportation officials. Spokesman for Sen. Elizabeth Little’s office Daniel MacEntee said, “Senator Little has had meetings about the needed repairs of Route 22 and is trying to keep it high on the list of DOT projects.” MacEntee added that Little had pushed for the addition of an expanded shoulder for use as a bike path, but that the close proximity of the road to wetlands and other obstacles may make that an impossibility. DOT spokesman Peter Van Keuren confirmed that there are plans in the works to make repairs on the eight-mile section of road. “We are currently investigating the need for pavement repair and shoulder repair,” said Van Keuren. “Our ability to accomplish this work is heavily dependent upon our limited resources and its other needs.” Van Keuren said that project letting is slated for March 2010 with construction expected to begin as early as May 2010. “The objective of the project is to correct the identified pavement deficiencies and restore the pavement to good condition and ride-ability, which will provide a service life of 12 years,” said Van Keuren. Other objectives include addressing guard rail issues and rehabilitating drainage infrastructure. “The 2005 Transportation Bond Act included $2 million for this work,” he added. “Our intent is to design a project that addresses the entire length, but will likely be broken into shorter pieces for construction dictated by available funding.”
Willsboro Central School hosted the Willsboro-Essex senior citizen luncheon in June. Students in Mrs. Eldred’s Family and Consumer Science class acted as waiters and waitresses for the luncheon. Photo submitted

VALLEY NEWS - 9
Morency forced to pay for benefits By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A proposal to get all elected officials in line with health insurance contributions sparked a heated debate among Essex County supervisors July 6. Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava introduced a surprise resolution to address the issue of one board member refusing to make contributions for health insurance benefits. At the June 15 Personnel Committee meeting, St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency admitted to being the only supervisor not making contributions after Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell initiated discussion on the topic. Connell argued that Morency’s refusal to contribute may appear to be in violation of the county’s boardapproved employee policy manual, which requires contributions from both union members and department heads. Morency claimed that the requirement shouldn’t apply to elected officials, however; especially those who had been serving since before contributions were first required in 1999. Having been in her post since 1981, Morency is currently the longest-tenured supervisor on the board. “The board knows that I have always gotten my insurance, and somewhere along the line many of them started being told they had to pay and they are,” she said at the June 15 meeting. “I have been told that I would be grandfathered in because of my years of devotion to Essex County.” Scozzafava’s proposed resolution would require “all
elected officials, both parttime and full-time” to contribute toward their health insurance benefits in the same manner as other county employees. The resolution passed, but not without opposition. “If we decide to give special treatment in regards to health care insurance, we’re going to hear about it from our constituents,” said Scozzafava, arguing that elected officials in neighboring counties, who have similar pay and benefits, are also required to contribute. “It does make us look like elitists when we are discussing special policies for the board of supervisors,” said Connell in agreement. Randy Douglas, supervisor of Jay, said the resolution was being introduced prematurely and should instead be brought up at the next meeting of the Personnel Committee, which he chairs. “I don’t think it should be decided today,” said Douglas, saying he had been working with County Manager Daniel Palmer and County Attorney Dan Manning to analyze the county’s policy. “Why couldn’t this have been shared with colleagues?” Douglas asked, criticizing Scozzafava for introducing the resolution without warning. Douglas moved to table the resolution, but the motion did not garner enough support to pass. Supervisors Michael McSweeney (D-Minerva), George Canon (R-Newcomb), Roby Politi (R-North Elba), Robert Dobie (D-North Hudson), Lori Lincoln-Spooner (R-Willsboro), and Randy Preston (I-Wilmington) all voted in favor of tabling. County Manager Daniel Palmer explained how the benefits included in renegoti-
ated CSEA contracts are traditionally adopted into the policy manual and apply to elected officials. The last revisions were made in 2005, and recent changes in the contract are in the process of being written into the manual. “The intent was to make it equal for everyone,” Palmer said. Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew called the resolution unnecessary and redundant, saying it called for the enforcement of a policy that was already in place. “This is an issue we need to address,” Scozzafava countered. “We have a policy that’s not being enforced formally across the board.” Merrihew said Morency simply wanted to review the language in the policy manual to see if an exception could be made in her case. “If it’s determined she’s not grandfathered in, Ms. Morency will contribute,” said Merrihew. All board members present voted in favor of the resolution with the exception of Canon and Morency, who both abstained.

Grads From page 1 said or how he felt.” “We’re here now, standing on this stage, looking at our family and friends and wondering what we’ve gotten ourselves into,” White added. “After this summer, our lives will be changed and we’ll be completely reliant on everything we’ve learned during our days at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School. Thank God we’ve been guided this far.” White concluded, “It is with great joy that we accept Seniors graduating at Keene Cenour diplomas tonight, but tral School line up after their June our pride is in more than a 27 graduation ceremony to repiece of paper. It is in know- ceive congratulations from attening that we have come one dees. step closer to achieving our Photo by Matt Bosley dreams, and that is why we face you tonight not regretting the past, but looking forward to the future.”
Willsboro Central School The 26 graduates of Willsboro Central School reflected on memories they shared throughout their education. “It has been a long 13 years from kindergarten to our senior year, but we seemed to make it through,” said salutatorian Kristen Hotaling. “We have had some great memories both here at our new school and back at the old school. This day is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for both ourselves and everyone who made it possible.” Briana Reynolds, valedictorian of the class, read a speech based on the alphabet. “F stands for friends forever,” she said. “Our class is small and at one point you are friends with everyone, but it takes the bad times to bring out the true friends that you’ll never forget no matter where you go or who you meet. “G stands for growing. As time passed, we each grew in many different ways, but the biggest was growing up. No matter how much that happens, we will forever stay young.”
Keene Central School The Keene Central School Class of 2009 know that they are products of their hometown, and are prepared to take the next step. “Life is unexpected, just like the wilderness that is right outside

these doors,” said Reed. “Believe me when I say, despite how well you know the trail, you never know exactly what you will face.” “From the beginning of your hike, there are bugs; in your ears, up your nose, in your eyes, in your mouth; biting, buzzing everywhere. Occasionally you inhale them, and they just won’t leave. There is never any use for bug repellent because it never seems to work. There is always a really big fat horse fly that won’t stop bothering you and even though you want to slap it, you don’t, you’re just waiting for the right time.” Valedictorian Alicia Ashe likened the class’s maturing to the process of boiling maple sap for syrup. “We were the sap entering the school as five-year-olds,” she said. “The elementary teachers got us ready for what was coming in the next years. The middle and high school teachers have been carefully watching us and waiting for our brains to be filled with ele-
Gypsy From page 1 they make the transition from vaudeville to burlesque. “It’s got a lot of different layers to it,” said Hughes. “It borders on corny from time to time, but it’s also kind of grown-up.” “The music for this show is one of the most memorable scores ever written,” Hughes added, noting famous songs
like “Let Me Entertain You” and “Everything’s Coming Up Roses.” Elizabethtown’s own Angel Marvin portrays Momma Rose, the ultimate stage mother who pushes her two young girls into the spotlight. “It’s a bigger role than I anticipated,” said Marvin, who described the experience of playing the vivacious character as intense. “She’s a bulldozer. When she’s not singing, she’s yelling.”

mentary knowledge so that they could soon have the opportunity to gather us.” “It doesn’t always turn out the same,” Ashe added. “There are different grades such as A, B, Dark, Light, or Fancy, but that’s okay because everyone has their own taste in syrup. Fortunately, everyone in the class is different; we all strive to do and experience varied things with our lives.” “Real maple syrup is valuable. It’s not everywhere and in every store. That’s the way I look at the class of 2009; valuable and rare. It takes forty gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup. It takes lots of education to make one professional. Whether it is to run your own lawn care business, become a nurse, a surveyor, a journalist, a forest ranger, or a doctor of pharmacy, we all have something to give in this world, and we are ready.” She is joined by a cast of 24 talented performers, ages eight and up from throughout the Champlain Valley. The production is directed by Susan Hughes, choreographed by Jackie Robertin and accompanied by pianist Jennifer Moore and percussionist Guy Szalkowski. “It’s got everything,” said Marvin, “cute kids, dancing, strippers, and a great story.” Performances begin July 15 and continue until July 26,
with shows Wednesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 5 p.m. Tickets are $17, with the exception of Wednesday evening, when admission is pay-what-youcan. All performances are at the Masonic Lodge in Essex. Reservations can be made by calling 524-7708 or by email to tickets@essextheatre.org. “Gypsy” is sponsored by the Westport Marina and Galley Restaurant.

Take a kid fishing, before it’s too late! Tips and techniques for young anglers
When it comes to fishing, quantity is more important to children than quality. When introcuding children to the sport, it's best to target 'easy to catch' species such as perch, sunfish or rock bass rather than the more selective species.
I
still remember the day I got my first fishing pole. It was a white Shakespeare WonderRod with a closed faced Zebco 202 reel. Unlike the bike I rode at the time, my first fishing rod was not a “hand me down” item. It was a birthday present and it was brand new. I spent as much time practice casting in the backyard as I did on the river. Currently, according to the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation, there are more than 50 million active anglers in the United States. The vast majority of active anglers claim they learned to fish because “someone” once took the time to introduce them to the sport. Typically, it was a father, uncle or grandfather that provided this introduction. However, in recent years there have been some dramatic shifts in American society. Today, nearly 50 percent of American
children are raised in a single parent family. In 2008, our society passed another threshold as more children were born to an unwed mother than to wedded couples. Nearly 67 percent of all anglers claim that “Dad” took them on their first fishing trip. If “Dad” has a diminishing role in introducing new anglers today, and others don’t step in to fill the void, how will the sport of angling be passed to future generations? The gift of fishing is still something special and those who don’t fish may never know what they have missed, unless those of us who fish take the opportunity to share it.
Fishing with children: Do it now Recreational boating and fishing rank high among America’s favorite sporting activities. More people fish than play golf and tennis combined. The surest way to ensure longevity of the sport is by increased public awareness. Children that become committed anglers quickly develop an awareness and appreciation of the need for protecting, conserving and restoring America’s aquatic natural resources. Today’s children will be the the next generation of American anglers, or not. With the vast angling resources available across the Adirondacks, parents and educators, it would be negligent to deny children the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively utilize such resources. As a parent, I’d prefer that my child was out wading on a local stream than hanging out on a street corner.

There are a few key points that parents should be aware of when venturing out with children on an angling adventure. You don’t need a boat full of fancy gear. Often, it’s much easier to fish from shore. Always be positive and enthusiastic; make fishing a fun and enjoyable activity. Let the kids gain competency by practice casting on the lawn at home. Provide a target such as an apple basket to improve accuracy. Watch the weather and insure that outings are short, exciting and productive. Pick a place that is easy to get to, comfortable, and safe. Bring along plenty of snacks, lunch, water, sunscreen, insect repellent, swimsuits, towels and first aid basics. Make the trip comfortable for everyone and above all have patience with snagged lines, lost tackle and missed fish. Praise them often, you will accomplish more with positive feedback than a reprimand. Target species most likely for success such as perch, sunnies or rock bass and use live bait such as worms, minnows or grasshoppers. They don’t have to catch the largest fish in the pond, but due to a shorter attention span, they must have activity. The key point is to fish where action is assured to avoid boredom. Keep it simple and use reliable equipment that is intended for novices. A short rod with a push button, spin casting reel is much easier to use than a long rod with an open face spinning reel. For smaller children, drill a hole in the handle of the rod and attach a lanyard. Tie the lanyard to the boat or a belt buckle in case they drop the rod. Often kids will release the whole rod when letting go of the ‘push button’ on the reel. This simple tip may save you from “fishing for a rod.” Crimp the barb on all hooks. This makes it much easier to release the fish, a kid or a parent. Protect the children and make certain
that they always wear sunglasses when anyone has a rod in hand. A barbless hook can easily be removed from a finger or a foot, but not from an eyeball. Spread anglers out. Make certain they are at least 10 feet apart and watch for others before casting. Use a bobber if possible, it will provide a visual clue to signal a bite. It also gives kids something to watch to stay attentive. Leave your rod at home since the trip is all about a kid’s fishing adventure. If possible, bring along someone their age to share the adventure with. Look for water bugs, turtles, frogs, beavers or loons. Let them play with minnows or worms. Let them experience nature. Most of all, fishing should be fun, not a chore. Take a camera along. After the trip, get prints in the kid’s hands as soon as possible, so they can share the adventure with others. Encourage them to write a short story to accompany the photos, it can provide helpful feedback for future trips. Show respect for the environment and the water. Teach water safety and in a boat, make certain everyone wears a PFD (lead by example). Make each outing an adventure. Involve children in the planning for the day, look over maps, draw up a list and let them assist in the decision making process. It should be their special time! A big part of the fun is in the preparation. Let them help with the tackle, digging worms or catching grasshoppers. Most of all, strive to depart before the fish do, always leave them wanting more.

Students named to dean’s list must receive a grade point average of 3.3 or higher.
St. Rose names local students to dean’s list ALBANY — Courtey Difiore of AuSable Forks and Joshua Garvey of Essex are among 750 students named to the dean’s list for spring 2009 at The College of St. Rose. Full-time students who complete a minimum of 12 credit hours and achieve a semester gradepoint average of at least 3.5 with no grades of D, F, Incomplete of Pass/Fail are eligible for inclusion on the dean’s list.
Mahoney named to dean’s list CORTLAND — Matthew Mahoney, an alumni of Camp Dudley in Westport, was recently named to the dean’s list at the State University of New York at Cortland for the spring 2009 semester, with a grade point average of 3.41. He is the son of Mark and Joann Mahoney and grandson of Ann Mahoney, formerly of Westport, and Paul Mahoney, formerly of Elizabethtown.
Floats came in all shapes and sizes during the Westport Fourth of July festivities.
Tourney From page 1 Douglas. “As far as competition, it’s probably the highest caliber of teams we’ve had since restarting the tournament for its 40th year.” Festivities begin Friday at 5 p.m. with a Pee Wee softball game between the Jay/Black Brook Patriots and the Peru Yankees. At 7 p.m. the American Legion Post #504 Color Guard will present the flags as Michaela Bushey and Susan Richards sing the national anthems of both Canada and the United States, respectively. The competition kicks off with a 7 p.m. game between the Quyon Combat Flyers of Ottowa, Ontario and North Line Utilities of Au Sable Forks. At 9 p.m. another Au Sable Forks team, Gordon Oil, will face the Mountain Brook Lodge/Ottowa Blitz combined team. Games resume on Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. and continue through the afternoon and evening.
Round-robin play continues Sunday morning with playoffs in the afternoon. Tournament organizers are expecting the tournament to be well-attended. “Each year it has a huge economic impact; not only here in Au Sable Forks, but in Wilimington, Lake Placid, and Keeseville,” he said, noting that the hundreds of visiting athletes and spectators patronize local merchants, lodging, and camping sites. Past tournaments have donated proceeds to families of individuals who had conditions such as ALS or Cystic Fibrosis. This year ’s tournament will benefit a group of area residents who have recently been diagnosed with similar devastating diseases. “We’ve been very successful in the past few years raising funds for families in need in our community,” said Douglas. “We’re going to continue to do that as long as we have a successful weekend.”

VN-7/11-8/15/09-6TC34382 -------------------------------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
SATURDAY July 11, 2009 action may impact areas of floodplains.

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.
