VA seeks solution for veterans’ clinic

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A decision to reevaluate the operation of a Veterans Administration clinic at Elizabethtown Community Hospital is now taking a different turn.

The Department of Veterans Affairs had submitted a request for proposals in April seeking to relocate the clinic in the Saranac Lake or Lake Placid region. The deadline for proposals was May 15 with the goal of awarding a contract by Aug. 1.

Many local veterans spoke out against the consideration to relocate the Elizabethtown VA clinic, which was one of the first established in the United States.

Peter Potter, spokesman for the Stratton VA Medical Center, said administrators there are still considering some of the

School board takes heat for new member’s resignation

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School Board of Education is starting the year one member short.

Mark Hummel, an Elizabethtown resident elected in May to one of two open board seats, announced the resignation of his post before even getting a chance to swear in.

A crowd of more than 30 residents packed the conference room as the school board held its reorganizational meeting July 14, many questioning why Hummel had apparently been forced to give up the position for which he was elected.

Hummel said he made his decision after being informed his membership on the board would bar him from providing services to ELCS students as a physical therapist with Adirondack Physical Therapy.

The Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School Board met for their first regular meeting of the school year July 14 with only four members sworn in. Mark Hummel, who was to be the fifth after being elected in May, resigned amid an apparent conflict of interest.

“We’re looking forward to another great E-town Day,” said Elizabethtown supervisor Noel Merrihew. “It’s been a good annual event that draws people to the town for that weekend.”

For the second year in a row, a block dance will be held the previous night Friday, July 17, at the Cobble Hill Golf Course. Once again, the featured band will be E-town Express.

“There’s a lot of opportunity for getting together and seeing old friends,” Merrihew added. “We just hope the weather cooperates.”

On Saturday, July 18, there will be a town-wide yard sale.

Among the many vendors participating will be the ecumenically-sponsored E-town Thrift Shop, which plans to display its wares on the lawn of the United Church of Christ,

APA drops mandate for rusty guardrails Replacement rails to cost $34.4 million

By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com

RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Park Agency has apparently caught up to science, at least when it comes to highway guardrails.

Adirondack Park Agency officials announced July 9 that the agency will no longer require those rusty, rustic guardrails to be exclusively used on highway construction projects.

Once touted as an environmental innovation, the oxidized guardrails erected along the state’s highways in recent years have been failing at an alarming rate — disintegrating in only a few years rather than the expected lifespan of 40 to 50 years.

The guardrails are made of an alloy, Cor-Ten, that’s intended to rust on the surface, supposedly saving repainting costs while looking weathered and blending pleasantly with the scenery.

But state engineers are finding that the alloy is decaying prematurely due to oxidizing too much, requiring replacement of guardrails all across the state.

The APA is now abandoning their policy to require that the inferior guardrails of the inferior alloy be used, APA Deputy Director Mark Sengenberger said July 9.

“The State DOT is currently replacing the rustic guardrails with galvanized box-beam rails and there is evidence that the rustic rails deteriorate in as little as five to eight years,” he said. “Standard galvanized rails will now be lining most of Adirondack roads.”

Cor-Ten, which is steel with 2 percent copper, is supposed to rust on the surface creating a weather-proof barrier, but as a material for guardrails, it simply cannot endure the water and salt that it is exposed to on roadways, according to DOT spokesman Skip Carrier.

Replacing the guardrails over the next several years will cost about $140 million statewide, Carrier said.

In the Adirondack Park, there are 251 miles of roadSPRAY TANS way with the rustic rails, and Carol Genier replacement is expected to cost state taxpayers $34.4 AIRBRUSH TATTOOS million, Carrier said.

Diane Melin In Warren County alone, 546-7717 • PORT HENRY, NY there are 91 miles of those de-

ficient guardrails, and replacement is likely to cost $12.5 million or more. Not all APA commissioners support abandoning the rusty rails.

“I understand DOT’s approach to standardize, but I saw them putting up new rustic rails on the Taconic Parkway last week,” APA Commissioner Jim Townsend told DOT officials July 9. “We assume that this is a special place and the appearance is important.”

Carrier said that DOT is indeed installing some Cor-Ten rails on the Taconic Parkway, but it is due to a contract that was signed with a construction firm prior to the realization of the widespread guardrail failure.

Bridges, including the New River Gorge Bridge — the highest vehicular bridge in the Americas — have been constructed with Cor-Ten. Carrier was asked Friday how widespread the use of CorTen was in bridges in New York State, but by Tuesday, he had not provided an answer.

(Journal Editor Thom Randall contributed to this report.)

Many miles of guardrails on the Northway and elsewhere through the Adirondacks are made of Cor-Ten, an alloy that has corroded far sooner than expected, requiring a premature $140 million replacement project statewide.

Ralph Holzhauer, a teacher at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, will be at the Elizabethtown Library for a signing of his latest book “Fur Under the Desk,” the story of a Newfoundland therapy dog introduced into his classroom at ELCS. The Adirondack History Center will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and tickets for free admission on E-town Day will be available through the Elizabethtown-Lewis Chamber of Commerce.

The town parade commences at 3 p.m. featuring emergency services vehicles, a horse-pulled wagon, and floats from several community organizations. A fireworks display will be featured at approximately 9 p.m. at the golf course.

As a continuation of the weekend’s activities, Margaret Bartley will conduct a slide show Sunday, July 19, at the Adirondack History Center. The lecture, beginning at 3 p.m., discusses the evolution of Elizabethtown by examining the various sections of town using historic photographs of buildings, streets and homes. Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for museum members, and $2 for students.

Members of the 118th New York Regiment charge the rebel army during a re-enactment of a civil war skirmish at conclusion of the Lewis Civil War Days July 12. The event held at the Mount Fay Fish and Game Club in Lewis featured more than 40 re-enactors in both military and civilian roles.

Martino chosen as APA executive director

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Park Agency has hired a new executive director: Terry deFranco Martino.

Martino, who has spent the past 23 years working for the Adirondack North Country Association, will take the administrative post effective Aug. 12.

“Terry Martino brings an incredibly rich background and understanding of the Adirondack Park, its people and its needs,” said APA Chairman Curtis Stiles in a news release July 10. “We are extremely fortunate to have someone with Terry’s established management abilities, leadership skills and demonstrated success in the key leadership position at the Agency.”

A resident of Onchiota, Martino has been executive director of ANCA since 1991, managing the regional nonprofit that focuses on maintaining economically viable communities, environmental stewardship, and protecting a rural quality of life.

“Throughout my career I have recognized the tremendous value of balancing economic and community development with environmental stewardship inside the Park,” said Martino.

Her work at ANCA included oversight of personnel, programs and finances with annual budgets ranging from $600,000 to $2.5 million. She also developed partnerships with other local organizations and municipalities, providing administrative support to initiatives such as the Common Ground Alliance.

The APA said Martino has also been instrumental in securing and managing millions of dollars in investment in the Adirondack North Country including; USDA Forest Service Ice Storm Recovery Program, Scenic Byways Marketing Programs, USDA Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative and the Heifer Project International.

Martino also played a role in helping Saranac Lake to obtain status as an All-American City. She recently served as program director for the Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project and as director for CBN Connect, an agency

heavily involved in bringing new communications infrastructure to the Adirondack region.

“We look forward to Terry’s expertise and proven leadership abilities in moving forward important public policy dialogue and programming for the Adirondack Park,” said James ConTerry Martino nolly, who has been one of two acting executive directors since the retirement of Richard Lefebvre in 2007. “Her three and a half decades of living and working inside the Adirondack Park will be a tremendous asset going forward.”

‘Timbuctoo’ legends under fire ELIZABETHTOWN — On Thursday, July 23, social historian and author Amy Godine will lead a discussion exploring the legacy and legends surrounding the “scheme of justice and benevolence” of abolitionist Gerrit Smith. Behind the story of Smith’s effort to settle the Adirondacks with free black New Yorkers in 1846 and 1847 is the saga of the black settler-grantees who made these north woods their own.

Sociologist Norm Dann, archeaologist Hadley KurzcekAaron, independent historian Don Papson, and novelist/filmmaker Libby MacDonald will talk about how their particular disciplines or interests have enabled them to tackle this history anew, and to challenge stubborn assumptions about the mysterious “Smith Lands.”

The discussion will take place at the Old County Courthouse 7 p.m. It is sponsored by John Brown Lives! and is free and open to the public. For more information, call 962-4758.

his week, we would like to especially thank FetchDog for the very generous donation of leashes and collars to the shelter. Launched by Glenn Close, FetchDog is an excellent on-line destination for dog lovers that brings together high-end dog products, informational resources and opportunities for owners to interact. Visit the Web site at FetchDog.com. Our dogs are always in need of sturdy collars and leashes for their daily exercise - their tails are wagging in appreciation!

Our featured pet this week is Brie, a tortoiseshell kitten with such an irresistible face, it was impossible not to share her with you! Brie is a true baby, only 10 weeks old when she arrived at the shelter. She has enormous golden eyes and a cute patch of white fur on her chin. She really enjoys rolling jingle balls around — as well as any other toys you can find for her. Just be sure she knows your shoelaces are off limits!

She is a good-natured sweetheart who would be a great addition to any household.

We currently have around 13 kittens

Brie available for adoption, many of whom are black or multi-colored. We may have one or two puppies, many young adult animals, and several older dogs and cats. If you are looking for a specific kind of dog or cat, with a particular personality, our shelter staff have all the information, but the best way to find out about our pets is to come and meet them yourself!

My informant tells me that this upstart group is to be called Wives of the Good For Nothings, or WOTGFN.

The occasion is two-fold: to celebrate the change in location of the Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks, which has its new office in the Heritage House, and also to mark the long-awaited arrival of North Country Public Radio’s new relay station, which means that we in the greater metropolitan corridor of Essex-Westport-Elizabethtown can finally listen to our very own public radio (at 90.5).

Some of the people you’ve heard on NCPR will be there, including NPR reporter and North Country bureau chief Brian Mann, who lives in Westport, and Dr. Curt Stager, who can be heard on NCPR’s "Natural Selections" and also plays in the Geo Electrics.

In addition to being a great opportunity to meet NCPR personalities and welcome them to our town, it will also be a chance to see the new Visitors Center at the Heritage House, which will be open for viewing during the party. So come have a bite to eat, cut a rug, and chat with radio notables. Better yet, tell them all about your favorite local spots, complete with maps and directions from the Visitors Center.

hat an honor it’s been to judge the talented performers who’ve graced the beautiful, newly restored Whallonsburg Grange in the Idol Contest that concludes this weekend; Friday, July 17, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, July 18, at 8 p.m. I’ve been struck by the high level of accomplishment that all the contestants have shown, including my young friend Malinda Lobdell, who won the Westport Central School talent show earlier this year. In her case, as we also saw when her dad Keith took the stage with his guitar, talent obviously runs in the family.

But the big surprise has been the number of young people in the audience who’ve arrived as spectators but then were willing to get up on stage literally at a moment’s notice and sing a song for us. No rehearsal.

Barely a moment to prepare. And out they come like they’d been doing it all their lives.

How do they do that? I am so impressed.

If any of them are reading this, I have one thing to say: please hold on to that courage and enthusiasm as long as you can. It’s really inspiring for the rest of us. Oh, and thanks!

Looking ahead to next weekend, come enjoy the "Welcome to Westport" party at the Heritage House on Friday, July 24, from 6-10 p.m. It’s all for free, with delicious food and drinks and a very danceable live band, the Geo Electrics. They play everything from rock and roll to oldies to country, and word is they’ve got some serious chops.

his past week took on a sad nature as I learned that two of my high school classmates had passed away, our class has now lost several of our members. The two latest ones were Ramona Reynolds Young Swan and Gretna Jerdo.

Both of these had touched the lives of many and will be missed in the days ahead. We did get to see some classmates from out of town: Judy Frenier Sloper, Wayne Young, Bob St Johns, Etna Jerdo, plus several local classmates.

Summer rolls right along, and this past weekend was full of activities. The Heritage Society’s sponsored walking tour of downtown Willsboro attracted around 28 people, and Ron Bruno did a great job. Hats off to the Willsboro Methodist Church for a great exhibit of hand made quilts; they had around 100 beautiful quilts on display.

Dunning to run for Westport supervisor

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WESTPORT — A retired law enforcement officer has announced his candidacy for Westport town supervisor.

Bruce Dunning, a retired law enforcement officer, is currently circulating petitions, making him one of three candidates now in a race for Westport’s highest elected position.

Dunning, 59, has lived in Westport since 1996, when he moved to the area after 22 years working with State Police Troop K downstate.

“Since birth, it’s the longest I’ve ever lived in one place,” he said. “and this is as good as it gets.”

Dunning said he has been interested in politics for many years, but the decision to run for Westport supervisor came at the urging of several supporters. He has never run for an elected position, but currently serves on the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals.

“It takes a tremendous amount of dedication to serve the people,” said Dunning, “and I’m at the point in my life when I’d like to do that.”

Throughout his 31-year career in the State Police, Dunning has served from Manhattan up to Plattsburgh, where he achieved the rank of Captain working in the Bureau of Criminal Investigation. He also spent a year and a half with the Essex County Sheriff ’s Department as undersheriff.

“I think that experience gives me a little bit of an advantage as far as leadership and responsibility,” said Dunning, adding that, while a consensus of opinions is important, a supervisor needs to be able to take charge of important decisions rather than rely too much on committees.

“Complete honesty, leadership, responsibility, giving

“They can go get some dinner, do some shopping, maybe see a movie. The bus leaves Lake Placid at 10 and everybody’s home by about 11.”

the needs of our constituents,” said Jay supervisor Randy Douglas, who chairs the committee.

“Hopefully the weekend evening route from Au Sable Forks to Lake Placid will create a win-win situation for our constituents and our area businesses during these depressed economic times.”

Dougal requested a resolution from the Human Services committee to provide free bus rides to seniors and veterans travelling to medical appointments. $500

from the transportation budget would be set aside to cover the 30-cent per rider cost.

A similar resolution would allow anyone to ride the bus free of charge on the first Wednesday of every month, encouraging the public to go green.

The department will soon be adding a Lincoln Pond route which will operate between Elizabethtown and Port Henry on an 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. schedule. The Champlain South route will also

be changed to a 9 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. route and will no longer travel through the Mineville and Witherbee area, shortening the ride for people coming to Elizabethtown.

According to Dougal, plans are also being developed for shopping routes to Ticonderoga, Saranac Lake and Lake Placid.

For more information, or to schedule a ride, contact the Transportation department’s one-call center at 800-914-9266.

credit to the people who are doing the work; these are the things that you need to have to do this job,” he said.

Attracting more families to the town is a high priority for Dunning, who also wants to support business in the community to provide them with a means of income.

“If I had solutions for problems that I perceive in the town now, I wouldn’t wait to be electBruce Dunning ed; I’d be working on them now.

“I’d be down there [at the town hall] in a heartbeat discussing them.”

At the county level, Dunning said he would try to better represent the needs of the people of Westport. One item of particular concern is the use of the County Fairgrounds, located in Westport.

“It’s such a tremendous asset that sits idle for a lot of the year,” he said, adding that he’d like to see it better maintained and more frequently used by the county.

Dunning said he would have no need to use health insurance benefits offered by the county because his years of service in the state police entitles him to enough insurance already.

Dunning will face fellow Republican Bruce Ware in a Sept.

15 primary. Incumbent Daniel Connell, a Democrat, is running for re-election and will be on the general ballot in November.

Late blight alert T

here are two common diseases that get on tomatoes every year, early blight and septoria leaf spot.

These are troublesome and in some years they can really reduce your yield, but they’re something we can live with.

Late blight is a different story. This fungus disease affects tomatoes and potatoes and is seen only rarely this far north. It doesn’t survive our winters so it either blows in or is carried in on infested plants. We haven’t seen late blight in area since one summer in the late 1990’s.

Unfortunately, late blight is here now. We’re asking anyone growing tomatoes or potatoes to be on the lookout. As soon as you notice any large, brown patches on your plant leaves or stems, please bring a sample to any Extension office. Enclose it in a plastic bag and keep refrigerated if possible.

This disease affects tomatoes, potatoes. It spreads very rapidly and will quickly jump from one garden to the neighbors’. The brown patches produce lots of spores that are blown by the wind and carried by rain. If one gardener

’ve got a secret. If you were to walk through my kitchen, nothing would seem out of the ordinary. My refrigerator is well stocked with food, as are my kitchen cabinets. It looks very much like I’d imagine your own kitchen looks.

But take a look at my basement pantry, and prepare for a shock. The room looks like a small-scale supermarket.

Stocked shelves line the walls. More than 30 boxes of brandname cereal will greet you, along with 20 bottles of apple juice. Towers of paper towels and toilet paper rolls reach toward the ceiling. There are so many packages of baby diapers in here that, stacked, they’d completely conceal the pantry door. And the shelf of household cleaners – everything from furniture polish and dishwasher detergent to glass cleaner and carpet sprays – will leave you wondering why my house isn’t spotless. (Hey, I do have three kids who make it their daily mission to undermine my housecleaning efforts!)

People’s reactions to my pantry never cease to amuse me.

They ask, “Are you worried about a food shortage?” “Who will eat all of this?” “Did you buy all of this at one time?”

But once I explain stockpiling most people begin to get it.

Wouldn’t you buy a lot of cereal if it were only 6 cents a box? How many bottles of apple juice would you buy at 25 cents a bottle? Both of these products have a long shelf life.

And my family of five goes through a lot of cereal and juice, among many other things.

Stockpiling and couponing go hand-in-hand. When you stockpile groceries, you buy as many units as you can afford to buy, using as many of the coupons that you have collected for the items involved. As consumers, we’re just not conditioned to buy large quantities of the same item. And yet, it makes good financial sense to do so.

Grocery stores price all items on a revolving cycle. Everything in the store reaches its lowest price point just once in a three-month period. A Super-Couponer waits until the price of a certain item is at its lowest point, then buys enough to last his or her household for the next three months. The Super-Couponer saves money compared to the shopper who buys only enough of a sale item to get through one week, then returns later to buy more of the same item when it is not on sale.

Twenty bottles of apple juice may seem like a lot to buy at

ignores the problem and leaves their plants to die they could become the source for a widespread infection. While a home garden can lose a few tomato plants, our growers with hundreds of plants will be severely affected by this disease.

Infested plants need to be removed from the garden in a plastic bag, don’t try composting them or leave them

Visit http://ecgardening.cce.cornell.edu for more information, or email your question to askMG@cornell.edu one time, and it is. But at a quarter a bottle, those 20 bottles cost me just $5. The juice’s regular price? $2.89.

So, for less than the cost of two regular-priced bottles, I bought 20.

If I bought what I thought our family would drink in a week during the apple juice sale, I’d leave the store with just three bottles. Once those bottles were gone, I’d be back at the store paying $2.89 apiece for the next three. InBy Jill Cataldo stead, I stockpile. The quantity I bought will last our family about seven weeks, and we’ve saved a lot of money, too.

Stockpiling is a simple concept. Once you start, you’ll wonder why you didn’t shop this way before. Of course, you may also wonder where all your pantry space went.

Next week I’ll share some of my stockpiling tips with you. © CTW Features

Garcia’s approach saves lives To the editor: Regardless of how the Republican Committee in the Essex District voted, I would strongly suggest to all voters in Essex County to vote for Julie Garcia in the upcoming District Attorney election.

As a Republican, I feel she should be the one chosen as District Attorney to represent the people of the county. Her program of Stop DWI is a good one and anything that can be done to prevent driving while intoxicated is worthwhile.

The more we prevent accidents, the better it will be for all.

In my opinion, this program can save lives, which is most important, and also reduce our trial costs.

Remember the old adage, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Keep up the good work, Julie.

Community supporting youth To the editor: Another year has gone by quickly and the Willsboro Youth Commission would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the people who have helped us with our activities. We cannot begin to express enough appreciation to our community.

First and foremost, our thanks go to our parents and guardians of the students that participate in our programs.

It would be impossible to name every parent/guardian involved without inadvertently omitting someone, but our gratitude is immeasurable. Thank you to Melanie Bliss Hall for assisting during soccer season; Colleen Blanchard, Doug Rock, Erin MacDougal, Clayton Cross, Nick Ball, Clay Sherman, Sierra Bruno, John Hubbard, and Crystal Porter for coaching or assisting in basketball; and Matt Sayward for coaching baseball. We feel it is important to express our gratefulness to Melissa and Brian Gough, Tom Daly, and Mark Garrabrand for initiating a youth softball team for our girls this spring. Appreciation is also extended to Randy Swires for the upkeep of the fields, to Steve Broadwell and the faculty of Willsboro Central School for their continued support for our youth program, to Brandy Sweatt and Fran Lee for their assistance in getting flyers and announcements to our students, to Cathy Alden for collecting uniforms, to the Willsboro Town Board for their encouragement, and to all of our local businesses: The Village Meat Market, The River View (former IGA), The Country Store, and Cable Communications of Willsboro, for their donations and sponsorship whenever needed.

We would also like to thank Mike Mascaranas, the Essex County Youth Bureau, and all of the community members of the surrounding towns for the encouragement, guidance, and support. We are so lucky to be part of this elite group of small Adirondack towns.

And finally, our biggest round of applause goes to our youth participants who demonstrate great sportsmanship, athleticism, and a positive attitude.

There is nothing supernatural or mystical about our Constitution, its amendments, or the Declaration of Independence. These documents were crafted so that we all could enjoy the democratic process and freedoms we all hold dear, such as speech, the right to assemble, bear arms, to vote, and religion. They came as a great price by those brave enough to stand up and fight by either sword, pen, or speech.

Is our democracy perfect? No, but neither is mankind. We do many acts of brutality and great harm to innocent people and their countries, but we do not hold the monopoly on this. It is a problem that is as old as mankind and has been perpetrated in the name of religion too many times to recount. Yet there is proof that we do acts of kindness and sacrifice, too. (See Keeseville Native Furthers Navy Aid Mission.) How ironic that both this letter and that article are in the same newspaper, dated July 4, 2009.

Does democracy demand a leap of faith just as belief in religion does? the answer is “yes,” and for over 230 years, the people of the United States have been making that leap of faith. Do you need to believe in a religion to believe in democracy? No, Mr. DeBoard, you do not. You just have to believe that a united people governed by a common and just cause will make that glorious leap, if not with you, then for you.

I want to thank you for reminding me of this on such a historic and noble day. I could not think of a better way of spending it than by answering you. I know I have not addressed all your points on the issue, but that is not necessary. I have answered mine.

Saturday, July 18

To the editor: I found the letter to the editor by Patrick DeBoard published in the July 4 issue of Valley News of great interest and irony. His letter was basically denouncing democracy and the freedom of religion, linking religious faith “crucial to the democratic process” with the United States’ domination and terrorism as the ultimate end. He declares that belief in a religion, ergo belief in democracy, is to believe in the supernatural and the mystical, like fairy tales.

Clinic

Board

From page 1

From page 1

proposals they’ve received for operating a contracted clinic in the region, but are now leaning toward a “staff model” approach.

In a staff model, Potter explained, Stratton VA would directly hire medical professionals to staff the clinic, which would be located in a rented space. It differs from the currently-utilized contract model where Stratton reimburses a clinic or hospital that provides their own VA-accredited staff.

Out of the 11 clinics currently operated by Stratton, Potter said four currently utilize a staff model as opposed to a contract model.

Potter said using the staff model would allow the VA to have more control over ensuring the clinic was staffed and run according to VA standards, with standardized appointment times for each patient.

Staffing has been a concern in Elizabethtown, where ECH has been unable to hire a full-time physician or physician’s assistant to staff the VA clinic there. A traveling doctor from Stratton is currently filling the position as a temporary measure.

By hiring staff directly, however, Stratton would be able to draw from a nationwide pool of VA-accredited physicians, bypassing the difficulty of local hospitals to attract a doctor.

“We’re thinking that it might be a more cost-effective way to ensure a high quality of care for our veterans,” Potter said, noting administrators at Stratton will continue to make comparisons with contract proposals. “Our focus is making sure we’re providing the best care possible.”

A likely scenario if the staff model is chosen, Potter said, would be for the VA staff to split time between a clinic in the Elizabethtown area and another in the Saranac Lake area.

“The staff model also gives us that opportunity to provide services in both places,” said Potter.

Specialist services for veterans would have to come from another facility, such as Stratton itself, but could be contracted to local medical centers like ECH. Potter said if a staff model is utilized, the VA would attempt to retain as much of the current staff as possible, including Dr. Herbert Savel, a part-time physician who has been highly praised by patients at the clinic.

“Hopefully, Dr. Savel would stay on,” said Potter.

While a clinic split between Elizabethtown and Saranac Lake could be possible using a contract model, Potter said the staff model would offer a better guarantee of coverage.

For now, however, the clinic remains in place at ECH. “We will continue to provide the care in Elizabethtown as we move forward with this process,” Potter said. “When we get the perfect solution, that will dictate how we move forward.”

What angered many supporters of Hummel, however, was how he was not informed until recently that his employment would raise any issues.

Hummel said that when he submitted his application for the position in March, he asked both members of the community and school administrators to notify him if they discerned any conflicts of interest. He said no one gave him any feedback on the issue until the end of June, well after he had been elected to the post.

The board’s newest member, Brett Siccola, echoed the sentiment of many in the audience.

“As a taxpayer and as a voter, I’m infuriated. I don’t feel Mark was treated fairly,” said Siccola. “I would like Mark to be on this board. I would like his resignation to be rescinded.”

Superintendent Gail Else explained that because Hummel is the employee of an agency with which the school contracts, it would create a conflict of interest that would, at the very least, preclude him from providing physical therapy services to students.

Also, the fact that the contract with Adirondack Physical therapy expires just before the new school year would mean the school could no longer contract with the agency if Hummel were on the board, Else said.

Kari Ratliff, who just ended her membership on the board, said Hummel should have been informed sooner that there may have been a conflict of interests.

“It’s disrespectful; it’s unethical; it’s wrong,” said Ratliff.

“He should have had an answer before tonight.”

Elementary teacher Deborah Egglefield, whose son, Jacob, has received services from Hummel, submitted a letter to the board urging them to reconsider the assessment that his membership on the board would create a conflict.

“I feel it is a terrible injustice to our students, but it would seem that if Mr. Hummel refrained from serving ELCS students... he would indeed be able to remain a member of this board.” Egglefield wrote. “That would be sad for the students he works with, but I believe it is more unfair to the community that voted Mr. Hummel into office not to have him representing them.”

Hummel said it was not Else nor any of the school board members who suggested he resign, but that his employer did so, making him feel pressured to choose between his job and his desire to serve on the school board.

While he wished he didn’t have to choose to resign, Hummel said he was most concerned for the people who may have run in his place had he known in advance of the concern.

“I think it would have been a better approach (for the school board) to address me,” said Hummel. “All it had to be was a simple communication saying that this was the po-

VALLEY NEWS - 13

sition they were taking.”

David Mace joined several others in the audience who suggested the board’s lack of communication with Hummel gave the appearance of sabotaging the public’s choice for the position in an effort to appoint a different person to the position.

Board president William Haseltine denied those accusations, asserting that none of the board members had any intent to appoint anyone to the vacant seat.

Haseltine promised to contact the school’s lawyer and representatives from the State Education Department as soon as possible to clarify the situation, but he refused to allow Hummel to be sworn in as a board member in lieu of a more extensive review.

“I will not break the law,” said Haseltine. “We have been instructed by our legal counsel against this and we’re going to adhere to that.”

Haseltine assured Hummel that there would be more direct communication with him on the issue in the future, and that Hummel would be kept aware of any developments regarding his ability to join the board.

“It’s a decision of State Law,” he later added. “If there is no conflict, he will be on the board.”

Mid summer trout most anglers can achieve when trolling with monofiliment line.

In such conditions, many anglers decide to target other species such as bass or pike.

Trout diehards also have the option of chasing rainbows, a species that is more tolerant of warmer waters and brighter, sunny conditions.

Rainbows usually respond well to flies, lures or spoons presented in the upper levels of the water column. These fish seem to be particularly fond of flashy ‘Christmas trees’ or ‘Cowbells’ tipped with a worm or a fly. However, for brook trout enthusiasts, the arrival of midsummer temperatures Lightweight and portable, the new breed of inflatable canoes shouldn’t signal the end of have made it easy for anglers to enjoy angling opportunities on the season. It simply requires the many high elevation ponds of the Adirondacks. a change of venue. ith the heart of the summer seaRather than dredging the depths of their son looming in the weeks ahead, usual spring and fall trout ponds, anglers temperatures are certain to inshould consider the opportunities available crease.

mountain streams.

I have discovered that, in general, the higher the elevation of the pond, the colder the water temperatures. I’ve also found that elevation is an important factor in determining angling pressure. The more difficult the access usually results in the fewer angler visits.

Accessibility is key On most remote waters, anglers casting from shore are at a a distinct disadvantage.

Typically, these shorelines are littered with with dead and downed trees, which can prevent the landing of a big fish. It is also difficult to cast far enough to reach deeper waters where larger fish lurk. To avoid such issues, I prefer to use a good quality, inflatable raft. Although pack canoes have greatly diminished in weight over the years, they can be difficult or impossible to haul up steep mountain trails or through thick spruce and heavy blowdown. Rafts can easily be condensed into a backpack.

Bellyboats are a good compromise, but I far prefer a raft which permits an angler above water casting platform. Belly boats or float tubes also require the fisherman to wear waders. With their legs dangling in the water, anglers stir up the water or get stuck in the muck.

Avoid the cheap, “pool toy” type rafts as they just don’t hold up. I use a raft that’s equipped with several air chambers and oar locks. I find it to be an ideal vessel for the smaller, more remote and inaccessible waters. Often, for those willing to put in the effort, it’s possible to have a pond all to yourself.

Which way to the water?

The Adirondack region is graced with a multitude of high elevation ponds. And due to the extensive restoration efforts implemented by the NYSDEC, many of these waters retain healthy populations of brook trout. The more remote waters which are stocked annually by helicopter can be found listed on DEC's annual stocking reports.

Consider the number of water bodies included in just a few of the park’s numerous Wilderness Areas, a partial listing includes the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness (39), High Peaks (112), Dix Mountain (12), Sentinel Range (5), Five Ponds (99), Hoffman Notch (8), Blue Ridge (19) and the Siamese Ponds (33).

A sampling of the more remote waters would include Round Pond, Dix Pond, Puffer Pond, Peaked Mountain Pond, Moose Pond, Latham Pond, Tom Peck Pond, Coldspring Pond, Giant’s Washbowl Pond, Bartlett Pond, Livingston Pond, Cooper Kiln Pond, Warren Pond, Owen Pond, Copperas Pond, Winch Pond, Dawson Pond, Brueyer Pond, Beaver Pond, Little Ampersand Pond, Nate Pond, Curtis Pond, Dog Pond, Grizzle Ocean, Bear Pond, Beaver Meadow Pond, Mountain Pond and Lost Pond.

These are just a few of the stocked, trout waters, however there are many more. As beavers continue to build dams on backwoods brooks, the number and size of potential trout waters continues to increase every year.

An indication of this trend is evidenced in the most recent Global Information Systems survey of the Adirondacks. Surveys have revealed that the Adirondack Park currently contains over 11,101 bodies of water that measure over one acre in size.

Although I’ll likely never have the opportunity to hit them all, it will remain a challenge to fish as many as I can. As the lottery advertisements proclaim, “Hey, you never know!”
