Essex County increases pay scale for engineers
The 161st Essex County Fair is here!
By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Fearing a lack of qualified candidates, Essex County Supervisors unanimously endorsed a pay increase for the post of Assistant Civil Engineer this week. After significant discussion, the board approved a measure that will pay between $45,000 to $55,000 for the job, but could pay more if a highly qualified candidate is found. But even with the pay increase, Essex Supervisor Ron Jackson still has his doubts. “I just don’t know if we will be able to get what we want for $55,000,” Jackson said. Before the adoption of the new pay scale, a first-year Assistant Civil Engineer was slated to make $39,000 – a figure well out of line with other regional counties and the private sector. Several supervisors agreed with Jackson’s analysis and an amendment was added to allow for more pay commiserate with experience or education of an applicant. Supervisors said they would like an experienced engineer and that paying a little more in salary will save cash in the long run because more work could be accomplished in-house. The county is seeking a replacement for longtime Assistant Civil Engineer Lenny Zelkowitz, who is set to retire in September. Essex County Manager Dan Palmer noted that due to the amended approval of the pay scale adjustment, a planned training period for the new hire may not happen. Because of the open-ended nature of the pay scale, any potential hire over $55,000 would have to return to the full board for approval.

Late blight destroying crops throughout region By Marcia Bierce denpubs@denpubs.com Most gardening aficionados are well versed in how a plant disease known as late blight can devastate crops — most notably tomato and potato plants. This summer, however, has been near catastrophic for local growers as it was in the 1850’s when the same blight caused the Irish potato famine. Late blight is a plant disease that attacks both potatoes and tomatoes. It is caused by a fungal pathogen that survives from one season to the next in infected tubers and the disease favors wet weather. This summer, however, has been near catastrophic for local growers as it was in the 1850’s when the same blight caused the Irish potato famine. The disease this year was carried north
on the east coast and west to Ohio on plants that were shipped to large box stores from a warehouse in the south. William and Sandra Murphy of Willsboro were especially hard hit. They have a hobby-sized green house and they start all of their plants from seed, using soil that they purchase from Griffin’s Greenhouse. The Murphy’s planted nearly 200 plants; to date they have lost 175 plants, with the disease now beginning to show itself on hanging baskets and cherry tomatoes. Their potatoes also got the disease, but by cutting back the leaves and consuming the potatoes when they are picked, the potato crop should be edible. The disease is very fast moving and within 48 hours of first noticing the disease, their crop was lost. It

Late blight, pictured above on tomato plants, is destroying most, if not all of the local tomato and potato crops this growing season. Experts say they haven’t seen an outbreak this bad in decades.

WESTPORT — Can a 14-year-old appreciate the humor in Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”? Fourteen-year-old Colleen Mulvey of Wilmington is a firm believer that Shakespeare is fun for all ages. “It’s funny. It’s very, very funny,” says Colleen who plays Helena in the upcoming production, “but it’s going to be difficult to act it in a way that will make it seem as funny as it actually is.” Colleen is one of the 10 young teens who are spending a good part of their summer in Westport’s Ballard Park with adult directors Lindsay Pontius and Scott Gibbs having fun and learning how to put on a Shakespearean play, this year, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The kids will be performing outdoors at Ballard Park in Westport on Friday, Aug. 14 and Saturday, Aug. 15 at 5 p.m. (with a rain date of Sunday, Aug. 16 same time, same place). Some of these kids have worked with this directing team before, others are brand new to the Shakespeare theatre that takes place annually at Ballard Park. Why are they here? Several of these young adults are already certain that they will be pursuing acting as a career path and think that studying and performing Shakespeare will help further them in this field. Cassandra Smith of Upper Jay who will be portraying both Hippolyta and Titania in the production views this experience as a different and more advanced type of play than she has tried before and is confident that “it will pay off on my acting skills.” Paul Burdo, 16, of Elizabethtown, was in the troupe’s production of “Romeo and Juliet” last year. He’s back for more because he “enjoys the interaction with kids from different areas of Essex County.” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is the 8th youth Shakespeare production that the team of Pontius and Gibbs has brought to Ballard Park. The program is now under the umbrella of The Depot Theatre Apprentice Program. Admission is free but donations are appreciated. For more information about the upcoming performance call 962-4449.

t is great to see the remodeling work being done on two of our older homes here in the downtown area. The “Barton” house on Main Street will have four rental units when it is finished, according to the contractor, Dan Belzile. The “Marshall house” on Mountain View Drive is also having a great makeover by contractor Sam Blanchard and when finished it will also be a rental unit. It is wonderful to have these efforts to save some of our older homes. There also seems to be a lot of work being done at the Old Grange Hall building; this will be a big improvement to our town as well. The vendors at the Farmers Market are now offering more and more fresh vegetables and great baked goods. It sure is a busy place on Thursday mornings. I have heard that some in our community who grow tomatoes for sale are having a rough time this year as there seems to be a blight that has taken out much of their crop. We have had the pleasure of a few nice summer days, but we still seem to get a rainy day tucked in between the good days. Lucky last Saturday was a wonderful day for the Down Town Essex Day. I was at the Visitors Center all day and we had a steady stream of visitors stopping in. There were many bikers, both peddle and motorcycles, traveling the North Country because it was so nice out. Everyone that came in was so praising of our center. As a
community we should be very proud that we have made this available. The Ecumenical Vacation Bible School will be coming up soon. It will be held at the Willsboro United Methodist Church the week of Aug. 17 to 21 daily from 9 a.m. to noon. This is open to all interested children from Kindergarten to 6th grade. If you have a child interested you can register through your local church, or call 963 4048 and leave a message. They are also looking for adults and teens to assist with the program, hereto contact your pastor or call that same number Lisa Boardman and her daughter Amie have spent a few days visiting her Mom, Bev Sodaro in Vermont. I understand that Bev is able to be at home with the assistance of family care, we send our greeting to her. I finally got to see Tim Teft on a recent visit to town. Tim is a loyal PoKo alumni and returns often. Hazel & Bart Ryder are also here from California and at their summer home on Willsboro Point. Sandy Oliver Tennian from Florida is also at the camp for a couple of weeks. Happy Birthday: I missed Glenn Sayward 8/9. Brad Paye 8/13, Bradley Ball 8/13, Marion Cioppa 8/13, Jonathan Hubbard 8/14, Gary Stoker 8/15, Terry Ball 8/17, Vaughn Jaquish 8/17. Happy Anniversary to Mike & Chris McCauliffe 8/16.
ast week I gave a brief summary of the Heritage Festival, which takes place in town this weekend, Saturday, Aug. 8, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Here's a fuller version, which I hope will be useful in your planning. The festival kicks off with the 5K Fun Race from Camp Dudley to Ballard Park, which begins at 10 a.m., when the Antique Boat Show also opens at the Marina. Several all-day attractions begin at this time, including the Lois McClure replica canal schooner at the Marina dock, the 1176 gunboat Philadelphia II at the Yacht Club dock, and the special Quadricentennial Stamp Cancel at the Post Office until 11 a.m. and at Ballard Park in the afternoon. Starting at noon, the Talking Tents series presents fascinating windows into local lore each hour on the hour: 12 noon—125 Years of Camp Dudley; 1 p.m.—Trefoil Farming; 2 p.m.—Maple Sugaring; 3 p.m.— Farm to Table; 4 p.m.—Sunflower Seed Farming. At 12:15, director Lindsay Pontius' Bits and Pieces historical theater experience will present this year's show, From the Center of the World, at various spots around Ballard Park. At 1 p.m. the dedication ceremony, including the burial of the fabled time capsule, will take place at the Heritage House. This will be followed shortly by the arrival of the noted, if by now rather elderly, explorers Samuel de Champlain and Henry Hudson at the Marina dock sometime between 1 and 1:30. All afternoon, you can take Longboat Rides at the Old Inn dock, inspect the First Navigators canoe in Ballard Park, play
games and enjoy activities in Ballard Park, visit craft vendors and displays, and bid in two silent auctions, Plein Air and Themed Baskets. You can also wolf down tasty michigans and roasted corn-on-the-cob prepared by your volunteer firefighters, slurp ice cream sold by local 4-H clubs, and sip drinks sold by the Chamber of Commerce. Musical offerings will also abound, with the line-up at the Ballard Park Pavilion featuring the Dudley Rhythm Ramblers from 1:30-2:30, James Mayo with the Dudley Choir from 2:30 to 3:30, and Atlantic Crossing from 7 to 9 p.m.. You can also hear fiddle and bagpipe music from Pete Sutherland and Chris Layer at the Yacht Club dock from 2 to 4 p.m. At 3 p.m. the Plein Air silent auction will close, at 4 p.m. the Boat Parade will take place at the Marina, and at 4:30 the Bike Decorating Contest will take place for kids ages 5-12. Decorate your bike ahead of time to enter the contest. From 5:30 to 7:30 there will be a cocktail party on the Lois McClure, by reservation only. At 6 p.m. the Themed Basket silent auction will close and the Westport Chair Raffle drawing will be held. And at 9:30, a spectacular display of fireworks will close the day's festivities. For more information, check the Chamber Web site, www.westportny.com or call Nancy Decker at 962-4805. All proceeds will benefit the Heritage House. Three cheers for Nancy Decker and all the volunteers who've worked so hard to bring us this exciting day!

EWS BREAK. A reliable source has informed me that the Dispatching Detained Terrorists (DDT) coordinator for Groantonto has heard of the Essex County Prison B&B and is considering the facility if Spanish speakers can be found. Congrats to all involved with making Essex days the best yet. Special thanks to: the Essex Shipyard & Rudder Club for hosting the canal boat Lois McClure; the folk packing the “Talkin Room” to listen to raconteurs Norma Goff, Martha Cross, Ray Wrisley, and Charlie Martin; all the Essex Initiative and Essex Fire Volunteers people providing support. Lila Touhey for donating dogs and buns and working at the hot dog stand operated jointly by the Methodist Church and Fire Dept. Now, about the Essex ambulance parked next to the Hot Dog stand, let me say this about that. It was parked there in case of any downtown medical emergency, not for victims of hot dog eating. One of my spies, I mean information givers, tells me that Donna Bailey’s attempt at performing an Eskimo kayak roll was partially successful. She got the kayak over OK, but it never rolled back up. Oh forgot to tell you that over 400 people toured the Lois McClure without anyone doing an Eskimo roll.
Some kind soul left books on the front porch of the DNC headquarters causing some less than agile DNCers to do a ? Eskimo roll. The front of the porch looked like a Gary Larson boneless chicken farm cartoon. When I performed my version off the porch, I landed on a wasp nest, thus becoming responsible for 23 wasps dying of blood poisoning. But, I got even with two stinging wasps by biting them in their jugulars. Watched golf on TV for the first time. Sometimes the golfers kneel and stare at a hole, or they look at a ball, look at clubs, and chat with each others as they stroll, swing at a stationary ball, or bend over picking up a ball. Next week I will watch Curling. Got a big surprise the other day when I saw Bob Garlic, spokesperson for Nutratsweat in town passing out no calorie dessert samples. Must admit that since he’s been on the plan, he’s no longer an ugly big bellied person but now is an ugly small bellied person. It looks like the cash for clunkers program will continue. My friend Bobby used it to buy a Rolls Royce the other day and was able to trade in his Hummer and get $4,500 discounted from the $385,000 Rolls. Great program.

BOE: Sprague candidacy legit By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com The candidacy of Kristy Sprague for Essex County District Attorney is legit, according to the state board of elections. State Board of Elections Director of Public Information John Conklin said New York State Public Officer ’s Law dictates that a district attorney must be a resident of the county on the date of the general election -- but not necessarily before. “We’ve always interpreted that (the law) as Election Day,” Conklin said. “So, if a person is a resident by Election Day, we consider that kosher.” Sprague told WNBZ she intends on moving before the November 3 general election. “It’s been in the works,” she said. “We are looking for a school district to accommodate both of our children, one is going into second grade and the oth-
er is going into preschool.” Conklin says some offices have more restrictive requirements – but not the seat of District Attorney. “There are some offices where there are more specific provisions that are laid out in the constitution like Senator or Governor or the House of Representatives,” Conklin said. “But, the DA falls into this part of the public officer ’s law.” The issue of Sprague’s residency arose this week as supporters of Essex County DA Julie Garcia filed a lawsuit claiming that Sprague – currently an Assistant DA in Clinton County – was ineligible to run for the Essex County seat because she is not a resident of the county. The race for Essex County DA is starting to heat up, after the local Republican Party shunned incumbent Garcia, choosing instead to endorse Sprague. Garcia is currently on the Democrat-
Kristy Sprague ic line, but plans to run against Sprague in the September Republican primary. The two candidates are set to face-off in a debate on Thursday, Aug. 27 at 6 p.m. at the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School.
Murphy hosts first successful tele-townhall By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — Over 8,000 residents of New York’s 20th Congressional District took part in a tele-townhall meeting with Congressman Scott Murphy last Wednesday evening. Constituents tuned in to ask Murphy a variety of questions on topics ranging from health care and the economy to job creation here in upstate New York. Murphy says the event was a success. “Getting input from my constituents is incredibly important to me,” he said. “This was a great way to be able to communicate while I’m working from Washington.” Officials from Murphy’s office esti-
mate that a much larger segment of the 20th Congressional District was able to participate in Wednesday’s virtual meeting than if Murphy had appeared in person. Murphy was happy he could hear concerns and criticisms in such a direct manner. “As we work to stabilize our economy and reform our health care system, it’s essential that I get feedback from the people I represent,” he said. “I encourage them to contact me anytime at my offices.” The Congressman will spend the next month traveling across the district before returning to Washington for the next legislative session.
Blight From page 1 is especially sad as Murphy’s give their plants to friends, who then “pay” them in dog food, or donations to the local SPCA. Christine and Ed Coats, whose garden is located in Schuyler Falls, also have experienced the late blight first hand. Last year Christine learned how to can tomatoes and was excited to stock her larder again this year. In anticipation of that, they planted 50 tomato plants and have lost at least half of them. They also have potato plants that are beginning to show the blight, so they are prepared to pick and eat them before they are completely destroyed. Amy Ivy of Clinton County Cooperative Extension said the disease is located in every county in the state and this is the first year it has manifested itself since 2000. It has caused huge problems for commercial growers, some losing 100 percent of their crop. Sweet corn and tomatoes tend to be the backbone of commercial farming, so the loss has been particularly devastating to them, according to Ivy. While it is on potatoes also, it is not as aggressive. “Home gardeners should call this year a loss. I would encourage people to write off their tomato crop and to eat

Final Summer 2009 Art Show at the Paine Memorial Library WILLSBORO — The fifth and final Summer 2009 Art Show at the Paine Memorial Library will present the works of two local artists.

their potatoes,” Ivy said. Emily Selleck of Essex County Cooperative Extension stated that the disease has been spotted in Port Henry, Crown Point, Westport, Wilmington and Willsboro. There have not been many reports of commercial devastation reported to them. This year they know that the disease was carried in on the seeds. There are a few things that you can do to control late blight. Use only certified seeds and while it is not a guarantee, the chances of survival are better. Ivy also encouraged using plant resistant varieties; Elba is currently the most resistant. If the growing season is particularly wet, as it is was year, late blight spores will be present and fungicides will be necessary, but they must be on the foliage before the spores land. Finally, Ivy said gardeners should scout plants carefully twice a week and more often during periods of wet weather. Those who find late blight should intensify fungal applications within label guidelines and if severe, destroy all diseased plants. Ivy said the two pieces of good news are that the disease has not been around here since 2000 and it does not survive over the winter. For this year, Ivy recommended watching gardens carefully and treating plants accordingly.

Q: I read your column about stockpiling groceries that you find on sale. How much do I need to buy at one time of something to stockpile it? I'm not comfortable doing bulk buying. A: "Stockpiling" is a term that many coupon enthusiasts use to refer to the practice of buying ahead of schedule. When we stockpile, we attempt to beat the stores at their own pricing games by buying enough of an item to sustain our household's needs until the next time that item goes on sale. It doesn't necessarily refer to bulk buying but rather just buying more than you immediately need. If an item is nonperishable or has a long shelf life, buy as many of that item as you have coupons for. Add them to your stockpile, and use them over the next few weeks instead of running to the store for that item. Here's an example. If pasta sauce is on sale for $1.29, and I have six 75-cent coupons, I will buy six jars of sauce and pay just 54 cents a jar. While my immediate needs for this week's meal would only include one jar, the price of the pasta sauce will likely be back up to $2.99 next week. When I decide to make pasta again, I can go down to my pantry and get another jar, which I bought at 54 cents. I don't need to go to the grocery store and pay full price, because I bought a little more than I needed last week when it was on sale. When you think about doing this on a larger scale with everything we buy, it's easy to see how we can save in the long term. It's not bulk buying so much as it is buying just a little more than we need in the short term. You will become comfortable with "shopping at home" for those items from your own pantry versus running to the store and paying that higher price. Stockpiling teaches you to shop on a price-based basis versus a needs-based basis. Q: One of my local grocery stores will not accept Internet coupons. Why wouldn't a store take them? Should I be wary of using them? A: While most stores accept Internet coupons, it's true that
some do not. Counterfeit coupons have always been a problem for stores. With the advent of the Internet, new problems have arisen, especially when counterfeiters make realistic-looking coupons and post them online. If many people print and redeem the fake coupons, stores lose money because they cannot redeem the fakes with the manufacturer. By Jill Cataldo To avoid these issues, some stores have issued a blanket No Internet Coupons policy. Do you need to be afraid of using Internet coupons? Not at all. There are hundreds of legitimate coupons available on the Internet every day. To know whether or not an Internet coupon is legitimate, look to see where the coupon originates. If it is posted on a manufacturer or store Web site, it's legitimate and perfectly fine to use. If it is posted on someone's personal site or a file-sharing site, you have no way to verify its origin, so you shouldn't use it. If you're looking on manufacturers' sites for coupons in the first place, you won't come across any coupons that are fraudulent. It's important to note, too, that you cannot make a photocopy of a coupon that you printed from the Internet, a common misconception among new coupon users. Some people assume that because it printed from their printer they can copy it and make as many as they would like. But can you copy a dollar bill? No. And you can't copy a coupon, either. Internet coupons have unique serial numbers and bar codes. While you might get away with passing photocopies at your store, your store will ultimately pay the price when they go to redeem them, since they'll only get credit for one coupon with that serial number.

How Will Future Generations Remember Us? “In every deliberation, we must consider the impact on the seventh generation even if it requires having skin as thick as the bark of pine,” a passage from the Law of the Iroquois. The quote suggests that we have an explicit and unambiguous responsibility to future generations. Given our current financial debacle, the sage advice proffered by Iroquois Law has been largely ignored by our national, corporate and political leadership. It seems that our most prominent leaders have decided to “throw our seed corn to the lost wind.” While the government has seen fit to provide multi-billion dollar bailouts to the very organizations that have brought us to the abyss, future generations have been left holding the bag and the tab. We haven’t asked permission to burden future generations with the responsibility for our mistakes; in fact, the future is not even at the planning table. As our culture works ever harder to inculcate young people with the values of hard work, responsibility, rational, and ethical behavior, we are presenting them a most hypocritical model for behavior. In addition, we have begun to prepare future generations for the possibility of a different America. Americans enjoyed upward mobility after world war two and the “middle class” became an American ideal. While future generation’ s grandparents enjoyed company health care plans, adequate retirement pensions, affordable college educations and the certainty of Social Security, future generations may not. Now we are asking future generations to compete with nine year old girls that work in sweat shops for a dollar a day in Asian rim countries. To be competitive in a global economy we are asking future generations to work more, for less money, with fewer health care benefits and without the security of a company pension or the certainty of Social Security. On the surface, these ideas seem utterly un-American to me. While unfettered averice and naked hubris about that greed are not illegal in America, they are patently toxic to future generations of Americans. When economic processes are completely disconnected from ethical, social, moral and intergenerational considerations, the
“American Dream” suffers terribly and it has. In the 1950’s through the early 1960’s, one wage earner could support his or her family. Many could afford a suburban home with all the attendant accoutrements. The average Americans purchasing power was significantly degraded. Several, high profile economists have suggested that By Scot Hurlburt these economic downturns are inevitable. To that I say bunk! The economic storm that we are in is unprecedented as are the downgrades in American lifestyle and the lowered expectations of the future. Some have said that Baby boomers are the greediest Americans that our culture has ever seen. Based on recent events, it would seem that there is at least some validity to that claim. As selfish people are unlikely to move beyond the arrogant ignorance of “I’m going to get mine thinking,” Baby boomers left to their own devices, will undoubtedly try to squeeze the last breath of life out of what was America. As boomers fade away over the next decade, an opportunity is on the horizon for America to reinvent itself. Hopefully American youth will become the tip of the sword for change. Who could blame them if they become very angry about the mess that they are being handed? If current trends continue and for the first time since world war two, future generations may not enjoy a better standard of living then their parents. In addition, we are handing them an environment that may have been irrevocably and substantially compromised. Remember all kids count.

Donations needed for service
Supports Sprague for DA To the editor: I am writing this letter in support of Kristy Sprague who is running for Essex County District Attorney. I have known Kristy for 10 years and in that time I have seen the compassion and dedication she has for the work that she does, as well as what she accomplished for Clinton County. Kristy has what it takes to get the job done and she will represent the people of Essex County with great integrity and professionalism. I have nothing against her opponent, nor am I going to sit here and bash her, that's not what this should be about. I just feel that while her opponent has done some good, it is now time to let Kristy prove herself. There are some who are wondering about how committed she is running for District Attorney in Essex County while living in Plattsburgh. Well, Kristy is very committed to this and she is looking forward to coming back to where her roots are and bringing all of her knowledge and experience with her. Kristy is a loving, caring wife and mother of two beautiful children and has the proven experience to be the next Essex County District Attorney. Let's stand behind her and give her that opportunity to do so. Jodi Petro Port Henry
To the editor: This year marks the 20th year that North Country Life Flight has served our region with its air rescue mission. When I experienced a critical illness; one I was not expected to survive, North Country Life Flight came to my aid. I credit them with not only being part of the team that helped save my life, but they also helped minimize my disabilities through their excellent care and quick transport to a distant trauma center. You don’t see their name in papers or media often. Given the critical injuries and illnesses of their patients, along with concerns for privacy, they don’t seek publicity for the work they do. But I can tell you, they are an extremely professional and hardworking group of people that deserve our support. They do their job quietly; they are "neighbors helping neighbors." Today, I write this as a volunteer with North Country Life Flight; I’m trying to "pay forward" the tremendous gift of life I was given. I’m hoping everyone who appreciates their 20 years of service will join me in saying thank you and being as generous as they are able. We’d also love to receive some patient/family stories that we can share on the North Country Life Flight web site and blog. Visit at www.northcountrylifeflight.org To commemorate this 20th anniversary year, I am asking all my North Country neighbors to join me in supporting their critical service. I am only one of the many patients they have helped over the 20 years but, like many others, I know firsthand how valuable that service is. I’ve met some of the former patients and their families at events. We’ve shared hugs, laughter and even tears. We also share the gratitude for the chance of an extended life that North Country Life Flight helped provide. I’ve set a goal of $20,000 from new donors this summer to help North Country Life Flight remain a viable service, ready to respond to the needs of this region’s critically ill and injured. Together, we can meet that goal if we all respond today. I’d like 999 of my North Country neighbors to send a check of $20 or more to North Country Life Flight, PO Box 994, Saranac Lake, NY 12983. Whatever you can afford will make a difference. I’ll write my check today. Please join me in supporting this important mission.

Ways of the Woods to be at Essex County Fair Aug. 12 - 16 WESTPORT — Ways of the Woods: People and the Land in the Northern Forest—the Northern Forest Center ’s mobile museum about forest heritage and culture across northern New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine—will feature a new video exhibit produced by partners at SUNYESF when it’s on display at the Essex County Fair Aug. 12 – 16. Ways of the Woods features multi-media displays housed in an image-covered 18-wheel tractor-trailer. Outdoor displays, artifacts and children’s activities combine with the videos to help people explore the ever-changing relationships between people and land across the Northern Forest. More than 100,000 people in 85 Northern Forest communities have toured Ways of the Woods since its launch in summer 2006. “Everybody is really excited that Ways of the Woods is coming this year,” said Fair President Bradley French. “It’s going to be a great year.” This year, in addition to exhibits about the region’s culture and heritage, Ways of the Woods is incorporating new videos and displays that explore emerging scientific research and related economic opportunities, ranging from the development of biofuels to engineered wood products, forest health, and tourism development. One of the new videos is about the work of researchers at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry to promote the commercialization of willow biomass crops as a source of renewable energy and other products currently made from fossil fuels. “There is enormous potential for using willow biomass crops that can be grown on marginal agricultural land in the Northern Forest region as a sustainable source of renewable energy,” said Dr. Timothy Volk, Senior Research Associate at SUNY-ESF. “This collaboration between the Northern Forest Center and SUNY ESF offers a valuable opportunity to get this message out to a diverse and broad audience across the region.” TransCanada Corporation is sponsoring the 2009 summer tour of Ways of the Woods. Ways of the Woods will be open 10 am to 9 pm every day of the fair. In addition to educating people about initiatives like this at SUNY-ESF, the Center is also using Ways of the Woods to advance the regional economic strategy and recommendations developed by the Sustainable Economy Initiative (SEI) – a multi-year economic assessment of the Northern Forest region led by a panel appointed by the governors of New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and New York.
“The economic strategy developed though the SEI provides a common roadmap that business, policy and community leaders can use to build momentum across the region,” said NFC Program Director Joe Short. SEI’s recommendations, Economic Resurgence in the Northern Forest, are available online at www.nfsei.org. “Ways of the Woods works on many levels, for adults and for children,” said NFC Senior Program Director Mike Wilson. “Given the current economic climate, we want to use the exhibit to showcase positive opportunities related to forests, and to engage people in seeing how their community, their state, is part of an economically important region.” Known across the region as the “museum on wheels,” Ways of the Woods consistently draws powerful, emotional responses from visitors as they explore both the history of the region and their personal connections to it. Tapping into economic issues and opportunities is intended to add another dimension to the visitor ’s experience. The Northern Forest Center created Ways of the Woods through collaboration with scores of heritage organizations across the Northern Forest and with major financial support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Support for the 2009 Ways of the Woods tour is provided by TransCanada Corporation. The Center managed the Sustainable Economy Initiative jointly with the North Country Council of New Hampshire.

“I felt that I could make a difference,” she said. Most recently, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of North Country Life Flight’s founding, Washburn levied a challenge to her fellow community members to raise $20,000. It’s a challenge she hopes will both raise money and awareness for all the organizations does. "I feel that not many people really know a lot about Life Flight,” she said. “They may see the helicopter, but not know what they really do until, like me, they need their services." Mary Jane Connors, president and chief executive officer of North Country Life Flight, said she was more than pleased to learn of Washburn’s goal. "I think it's great what she's doing," said Connors.

SARANAC LAKE — Janice D. Washburn considers herself lucky to be alive. It was four years ago when the now 55-year-old Keeseville resident was returning to work from her lunch break and noticed something wasn't quite right. "I started to feel dizzy," Washburn recalled. "I thought I was having a stroke." Though her memory of that day is still fuzzy, Washburn said she remembers being taken by ambulance to CVPH Medical Center, just minutes away from her office. Upon further evaluation, it was found she had a ruptured brain aneurysm and doctors immediately ordered her to be airlifted to Fletcher Allen Healthcare in Burlington, Vt. — a trip that would have taken much longer by ambulance, said Washburn. "I only suffered mild disabilities because of how quickly they got me to Burlington," she said. Though she lost hearing in one ear and occasionally suffers from dizziness, improper balance and short-term memory loss, Washburn said her condition could have been a lot worse if not for North Country Life Flight, the nonprofit medevac service which flew her to Fletcher Allen. "My head was filling up with blood. If I would have had to ride by ambulance all the way [to Burlington], there would've been even more damage,” Washburn said. “My husband and I would even say Life Flight saved my life." About a year after her incident — a year spent recovering from her aneurysm — Washburn was reviewing her medical bills from that time and realized something was missing. "I started getting ambulance bills but I noticed there was no bill for the helicopter," she said. Upon further research, Washburn learned North Country Life Flight is an organization which provides its services at no cost to its patients. "That was just astounding to me," she said. Washburn, feeling compelled to help North Country Life Flight continue its mission, then began volunteering her services to help raise funding for the organization.
she was helped by Life Flight, she's made it her role to pay it forward so it will be here for the next person and so they won't have to worry about the cost either." North Country Life Flight utilizes helicopters from the New York State Police aviation unit in its mission, explained Connors. The main expenses for which North Country Life Flight is responsible — an amount that fluctuates year after year depending on the number of people it serves — are providing medical equipment, medications and a combination of paid and volunteer medical personnel who are nationally-certified. In order to do this, North Country Life Flight relies on support it receives through fundraisers and occasional grant funding. However, the medevac service mainly relies on donations from the community at large, said Connors. "Our largest funding is from individual donations," she said. “In fact, that's what's enabled us to be free for so long.” North Country Life Flight is the only nonprofit medevac service in the area, explained Connors, serving Clinton, Essex, Franklin, St. Lawrence, Warren, Washington, Hamilton, Herkimer and portions of Jefferson and Lewis counties. The second closest medevac services for the region fly out of Albany and Syracuse and are commercial services, charging patients roughly $20,000 per flight or more. "North Country Life Flight is a unique organization,” said Chuck Pandolph, chief flight nurse for North Country Life Flight. “It's very altruistic in its mission in that we don't fly for money. We fly because there's a need.” Without having North Country Life Flight centrally-located at Saranac Lake’s Adirondack Regional Airport, response times to pre-hospital emergencies and inter-facility transfers would increase significantly, Pandolph said. And, in a service where every minute counts, that could literally mean the difference between life and death. “And, nobody gets a bill, which is a wonderful thing,” said Washburn. “That's why community support is really important.” Those interested in making a contribution to North Country Life Flight may do so by calling 891-6853 or sending donations in care of the organization to 49 Helms-Mueller Road, P.O. Box 994, Saranac Lake N.Y. 12983. Donations may also be arranged through the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. by calling 563-0028.

Jamie Clark woke up one morning with his face feeling limp. After a call to his doctor, he and his wife immediately went to the ER at ECH. “Obvious signs pointed to Bell’s palsy,” said Mr. Clark. “But the Physician Assistant on duty took the time to investigate further.” It turns out Mr. Clark had Lyme disease and since it was found early, the disease was easily treatable.

Instances like this have made the Paul Clark family realize the importance of having a good hospital in their community and why they have chosen to support the expansion and renovation project at Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

High excitement at Westport regetta WESTPORT — A photo finish of the J24 Class of sailboats created high excitement at the 12th annual Westport Challenge Regatta in Northwest Bay on Saturday, Aug. 1. Two boats, Dancing Queen and Gemini exchanged the lead many times during the over one-hour race. With a downwind finale and colorful spinnakers flying, the boats crossed the finish line with less than a 6-inch separation. First place was captured by Gemini helmed by Dave Japikse crewed by sons Dan and Matt all from Schenectady and Jim Carlisle of Westport. Second place was taken by Dancing Queen with Paul Reese of Moriah at the helm and crew Mark Schubert, Peter Mitchell both of Silver Bay and Mike Stahl of Port Henry. Both boats are part of the North Cheever Yacht Club at the Velez Marina, Port Henry. Hosted by Westport Marina, the 12th annual Westport Challenge Regatta had a record fleet of 21 sailboats competing. With excellent weather and fair winds local and visiting boats competed in three divisions- class A, B (cruising non-spinnaker) and J-24 Class (spinnaker). Sailors came from the Capital District, Lake Champlain Region, Canal Region, Vermont and Canada. Organized by the Westport Marina, the re-
gatta has been co-sponsored by the BrooksReinemann Group of Merrill Lynch for the last five years. The cruising fleet completed a triangular course starting at the marina, turning north at Barber Point and then rounding Scotch Bonnet off Basin Harbor Club. Leading Class A handicap racing was Arcadia helmed by Capt. James Connors of Plattsburgh, home port Willsboro, with a corrected time of 2:22:51; in second place Rita Louise 2:22:54 with Capt. James Morris from Albany, home port Van Slooten Marina in Port Henry; and third Diva, 2:39:35 with Capt. George Guy Lever of Wilmington, home port Westport. Arcadia was also the first boat to finish the race in real, not-handicapped time. Class B was captured by Knotworking with a time of 1:58:18 with Capt. Norman Laprade of Randolph, VT, home port Van Slooten Marina in Port Henry; in second place, Moon Dance 2:00:14, with Capt. Ed Smith of Willsboro; and in third, Sparrow 2:03:01, Capt. Peter Brooks of Ballston Lake, home port, Westport. Sailing on their own triangular course near Normandie Beach Club, in a special youth race 8 campers from Camp Dudley of Westport racing JY's bested a team of 6

UPPER JAY United Methodist Church Rt. 9N.
SARANAC LAKE — The village of Saranac Lake recently purchased garbage cans, and the cost of those items is drawing scrutiny. Mayor Tom Michael confirmed last week that the village used an expiring state-funded grant to purchase the cans. They were purchased at a rate of $400 per can. 40 of the approximately 30-gallon cans were purchased for a total of $16,000. “The time on the grant was expiring and we had to use it,” Michael said. Trustee Jeff Branch said it was his month to do vouchers and approve bill payments. He found the bill for the garbage cans, which were ordered, received and placed without any discussion by the board. Village Manager Marty Murphy approved the purchase. “The mayor and other trustees tried to justify the expenditure and did not seem to have a problem paying over $400 per garbage can,” Branch said. According to Branch, one trustee said the village shopped around and found that the purchasing cost was accurate. “My response was that the cans only cost that much if someone is willing to pay that much,” Branch said. The village did not spend any of its own funds on the purchases, Michael noted. “We would have lost the grant if we didn’t use it,” he said. Branch says it doesn’t matter where the money comes from or who pays for it. “$16,000 for garbage cans is still, in my opinion, an extravagant and unnecessary expenditure,” he said. “Grant money does not grow on trees, it is still tax payer money.” Branch says the “use-it-or-lose-it” mentality is one of the reasons governments around the country are going broke. Further, Branch tells said that the village should have hired a local out-of-work contractor to repair the wooden ones the village used to have. “What happened to keeping it local?” Branch asked.

SATURDAY August 8, 2009 and maybe flippin’ sticks will replace lacrosse sticks in gym class. Once you get over the unlikely prospect of a student lettering in bass fishing or getting a scholarship to fish for some Division I school, consider this: Bass fishing already has become a recognized high school activity in Illinois. And a group of fishermen in the bass-rich Ozarks are pushing for the sport to gain the same status in Missouri. “I know I would have had more interest in school if there had been a bass fishing team,” said John Neporadny of Lake Ozark, Mo., a nationally known outdoors writer. “This has the potential to bring in a whole new group of kids who hadn't been involved in sports before.” The concept already has been endorsed in Illinois, the first state to offer bass fishing as a state-sanctioned high-school activity. This spring, 214 of the 775 Illinois high schools will compete in a tournament series to determine a state champion.

A
nthony was small for his age and although he was a good athlete, by the time he got to high school he couldn’t run as fast, jump as high, or throw as hard as his classmates. After he transferred to a local prep school, he played varsity soccer for his fall sport but was unsure of what he would do in the spring. He didn’t have many alternatives, it was either golf or tennis. His father was a guest of mine and we had fished together for many years. Anthony had always accompanied him on the journeys north and by the time he was a teenager, Anthony was a proficient flyfisherman. As the spring semester approached, Anthony sought an alternative to the usual team sports. He looked into paddled sports, biking and trail running. I offered to help in any way I could. Finally, after consulting with the school’s athletic director, I agreed to serve as Anthony’s angling coach. Rather than play varsity golf or tennis, Anthony decided to take up flyfishing as his spring sport. He was the only athlete in the school to approach the playing field without wearing spikes or tennis whites. Anthony’s preparation involved tying flies, prepping his leaders and patching his waders before game day. The spring semester was consumed with outings on the Ausable, Boquet, Saranac and numerous local small streams. His opponents knew the playing field well, and they were wily, cunning and strong. Like a true sportsman, Anthony battled them in the spirit of fair play and always released his finned foes to fight another day. He kept exacting records of fish taken, insect hatches, wa-

Jackson McCabe, son of Matt and Carolyn McCabe of Saratoga, displays a nice smallmouth bass recently taken on the Saranacs. ter temperatures and water levels. His fishing log looked like a baseball scout’s tabulations. He left little to chance. With a wealth of natural resources available throughout the Adirondack region it’s a wonder that local schools don’t offer similar opportunities for non-traditional athletes. The trend has already started elsewhere in the country. The potential for student anglers to continue with the sport is also growing, as colleges continue to sponsor teams of Bass Anglers. For the past four years, the National Collegiate Bass Anglers Championships have attracted teams from many of the nation’s finest schools. As the nation’s top professional bass anglers continue to tout Lake Champlain’s amazing fishery, the potential to host local high school teams spans the region from Whitehall to Rouses Point and inland from Saranac Lake to Old Forge. Imagine the scene, as college scouts gather at the Northern New York High School Bass Weigh-In with promises of scholarships for the Finalists. Anything’s possible. Maybe kids won’t have to skip school to go fishing in the future
Outdoor travelers should take note of several recent announcements that will affect anglers, hunters, boaters and paddlers. Attention Adirondack Big Game Hunters: Rehabilitation work on the Raquette River Boat Launch, in the Town of Harrietstown, will begin this fall shortly after the September 11-13 running of Adirondack Canoe Classic race. The boat launch, also known as "The Crusher", will be closed for use throughout the Northern Zone Big Game Season. Hunters who plan to hunt lands around the river should seek alternate river access points such as Axton Landing on the Corey's Road. Saranac Lake Chain: Until futher notice, operation of the lower lock, between Second Pond and Oseetah Lake, is significantly limited due to problems with the lock's hydraulic system. The lock is closed every evening from 5:30 pm to 9 am the next morning. Operation of the lock will be by manual means only. Also the use of the lock is restricted to motorized vessels only - kayaks and canoes will be required to use the portage. The lock will be operated only at such times that there are enough vessels to fill the lock - boats may expect delays up to one hour while awaiting the operation of the lock. Please plan accordingly. Raquette River: Rehabilitation work on the Raquette River Boat Launch, in the Town of Harrietstown, will begin this fall shortly after the September 11-13 running of Adirondack Canoe Classic race. The boat launch, also known as "The Crusher", will be closed for use throughout the fall. Work should be completed in the spring 2010.
