Singing for your supper Candidates chosen for Congressional election Scozzafava, Hoffman, Owens named as frontrunners in three-way race By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com
(Counterclockwise from right): Mitchell Terry, Violet Terry, Joe Gero, Scott Loveday, and Willie Carnes make up Lonesome Traveler. The band will perform a benefit concert 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the Jay Community Center in Au Sable Forks Aug. 21 to benefit the Jay/Black Brook Food Shelf. By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com JAY — A group of experienced musicians from Clinton and Essex counties hopes to bring some more entertainment to Au Sable Forks and support a good cause in the process. Lonesome Traveler will hold a free concert at the Jay Community Center Aug. 21 as a fundraiser to support the Jay/Black Brook food shelf. The group includes Jay resident Mitchell Terry and his wife, Violet. Joining them are some longtime musical colleagues; bass player Willie Carnes, Scott Loveday on guitar, and expert fiddler Joe Gero. The old-time country and rock musicians have played together off and on for over 20 years, with the exception of Loveday, who joined in last year as the youngest member of the group. Together, they have played at several nearby locations as paid entertainment. Their frequent concerts in Saranac draw upwards of 50 people to each performance. Often the band likes to share their talent for a good cause, however. They have already done several concerts at no cost in order to help raise funds for local charities. “I’d like to do more of that,” said Terry. The band is favorite at many nursing homes, such as Horace Nye in Elizabethtown and the Keene Valley Neighborhood House, where they make frequent visits. “Just because people are in a nursing home doesn’t mean that they don’t like the kind of music we perform,” said Terry. “I hope someday when I’m in there, somebody comes in

The candidates have been chosen for an anticipated special election in the 23rd Congressional District. Committee members in the major parties have selected their candidates to fill the seat of Rep. John McHugh, who is expected to have his presidential nomination as Secretary of the Army confirmed in the next few weeks. Republican candidate Diedre “Dede” Scozzafava, Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman, and Democratic candidate Bill Owens have emerged as the frontrunners in a three-way race for the yet-to-be-vacated seat. Scozzafava, 49, of Gouverneur, is a State Assemblywoman representing New York’s 122nd district, which makes up Lewis, much of St.

Hoffman
Lawrence, and Jefferson Counties. She was chosen July 22 by a committee of GOP party chairs in each of the 11 counties within the Congressional District. “I’m very honored to have received the nomination,” she said, praising the open process by which party chairs interviewed the field of nine candidates. She has
also been endorsed by the Independence party. Scozzafava said she plans to focus her campaign on issues like job creation, economic development, and energy costs, which she sees as important. “I think there's a very independent streak of people in the 23rd Congressional District,” said Scozzafava,
“and I think there are a lot of people tired of party politics.” Essex County Republican chair Ron Jackson described Scozzafava as an excellent candidate and a proven vote-getter. Though she tends to be more moderate on social issues like abortion and gay marriage, he said
Westport alumni gather for picnic in the park By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Sixteen former students of Westport Central School gathered at Lee Park in Westport Aug. 7 for a chance to meet with friends and maintain connections with old classmates. “Our alumni are such an incredible, vital resource to our school district and to our community,” said Westport Central School Principal Michelle Friedman. “I am thrilled that the Westport alumni are creating opportunities to continue their connection with each other, the school, and the outstanding community of Westport.” There were graduates present from 2009, 1956, and every decade in between, all of whom brought a friendly smile and a dish to share.

Bruno indicted, bail returned By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The man accused of causing the death of a Willsboro woman in a one-car accident earlier this year is opting to dispute the charges filed against him. Ryan R. Bruno, 26, Willsboro, entered a plea of not guilty in Essex County Court Aug. 10 after being formally indicted by a Grand Jury on charges of vehicular manslaughter and driving Ryan Bruno while intoxicated. Police say that Bruno’s blood alcohol level was above the 0.08 limit the morning of Jan. 1 when he was driving his 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse on Route 22 in Essex at speeds they say were too fast for conditions. He lost control of the vehicle and crossed the east shoulder of the roadway, colliding with a tree. The crash resulted in the death of his 23-year-old front-seat passenger, Keshia B. Pierce, also of Willsboro. Bruno, who sustained critital injuries, was hospitalized after the crash. A blood test administered at that time showed his BAC to be 0.11, police say. Bruno was first arrested for the crime March 4 and has since been released on $5,000 cash bail. Essex County District Attorney Julie Garcia asked for the bail to continue and confirmed that Bruno’s driver ’s license had been suspended in lower court. Essex County Public Defender Livingston Hatch, counsel for Bruno, requested the bail be returned and Bruno released on his own recognizance; a request granted by Judge Richard B. Meyer. The next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 13. In the meantime, Bruno must continue to reside with his parents in Willsboro and must report to the County Probation Department once a week, Meyer ordered. If convicted, Bruno could face maximum prison time of two and one-third to seven years.
Craftworkers and vendors wanted for Field, Forest and Stream Festival ELIZABETHTOWN — The Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks will host the 21st annual Field, Forest and Stream Day, an Adirondack Folk Arts Festival Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the museum grounds of the Adirondack History Center. ACNA is currently seeking exhibitors who sell handmade items that tie in with the festival’s focus on the harvest, hunt, and other traditional North Country work and leisure time activities. To receive an application, contact ACNA at 962-8778. Application deadline is Sept. 14. Spaces will be assigned in the order in which reservations are received. If interested in volunteering for a two-hour period during the day of the festival, for free admission, contact ACNA. Many other jobs are available before, during and after the day’s events.
Supervisors ponder personnel expenses By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County supervisors are leaving the door open for two tentative salaried positions in the midst of strict limitations on county hiring. A policy instituted by Essex County Manager Daniel Palmer requires county department heads to seek resolutions from the Board of Supervisors before including a request for new paid positions in their 2010 budget proposals. The policy is designed to limit spending on personnel, one of the largest portions of the county’s budget Transportation coordinator Nancy Dougal brought a request to the Essex County Human Services committee Aug. 10 for the creation of a new account clerk position in the county’s transportation department. The position is necessary, she said, because the transportation department plans to start billing New York State directly for rides provided to Medicare patients for medical purposes. Currently the billing is done through the Department of Social Services where Dougal said the paperwork ends up changing hands several times. Committee members were generally unenthusiastic about the proposal, questioning why it was necessary to add a position for a task that was already being done. “This could very well be a case where hiring an accounting clerk is going to save money,” said Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston, “but it’s a little cloudy at this point.” The resolution to consider the added position passed, but many committee members expressed hesitation with the idea of ultimately including it in the 2010 budget. In the Economic Development Committee, a similar discussion arose regarding a proposal to retain Barbara Brassard as Empire Zone coordinator amidst an anticipated loss of state funding for administration of the program in 2010. Currently, Essex County budgets $40,000 with another $23,000 coming from the state. Committee members mulled a resolution that would add $10,000 in county funds to the program to offset that $23,000 disappearing. Moriah supervisor Tom Scozzafava explained that despite loss of state funding, a coordinator is still required to help participating businesses renew their eligibility for Empire Zone benefits, which may include tax breaks or utility discounts. There are reportedly as many as 82 businesses utilizing the program in Essex County, and some may be eligible for benefits for the next 14 years. Scozzafava chairs the Empire Zone Board of Directors, and said that their plan was to expand Brassard’s job duties to make up for the marketing and promotion of the program that she would no longer need to do. “We felt the position was important enough to all the 18 communities to be included in the 2010 budget,” Scozzafava said.

Other supervisors, such as Preston and Robert Dedrick of Ticonderoga, opposed the move, suggesting that Jody Olcott and Carol Calabrese, the co-executives of the Essex County Industrial Development Agency, could take on the workload of keeping the program intact for participating businesses. “I don’t see how we can continue to absorb this cost as a county,” said Preston. “I know it’s a sensitive issue because somebody could be losing their job, but somewhere somebody’s got to draw the line.” Minerva supervisor Michael McSweeney and North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi each argued that spending more to keep Brassard should be avoided if possible, especially since the state funding for the position was ending. Randy Douglas, supervisor of Jay, joined Scozzafava in support of the resolution, arguing keeping Brassard in the position was worth the extra expense because of her ability to assist local businesses. Other supervisors noted how many such businesses asked to keep her. While she and Calabrese would be able to meet the requirements for maintaining Empire Zone benefits, Olcott said, they wouldn’t be able to offer the same level of assistance to businesses as Brassard, and that the IDA would still require about $20,000 a year in funding from the county for Empire Zone administration if Brassard’s position were terminated. Committee members ultimately voted down the resolution 3-4, opting not to support the $10,000 increase.

he NCSPCA would like to remind you of our upcoming event, the Dog Days of August and the NCSPCA Pet Fair, sponsored by the Adirondack Farmer's Market Cooperative. This family and pet friendly event will take place on Sunday, Aug. 16 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Marcy Field in Keene Valley, regardless of the weather! The Fair celebrates the loving relationships we enjoy with our cats and dogs. The SPCA welcomes owners to bring their dogs and participate in a Pet Parade beginning at 11:30, with a blessing of the animals as its Finale. You can count on tasty treats from the Farmers' Market and a free kids' lunch - as well as a plethora of activities for all ages. Admission is free, but donations to the Shelter are always welcome. This week's featured pet is Clarence, an unusual looking domestic shorthair/mix kitty with a white coat accented by rust colored eyebrows! (At least, that is what they look like.) Clarence was brought to the NCSPCA as a battered and bedraggled kitty, who has blossomed into a handsome, petite little guy. He is loving, affectionate, and loves to give head butts. He has a playful personality and would be content to follow you all day around the house. He is currently being treated for an eye injury, but is healing nicely. If you have some time, stop by our newly-revamped website, www.ncspca.org. The revised website has some gorgeous pictures of some of our pets, as well as

think we can all look back with pride on the outstanding success of the Westport Heritage Festival last Saturday, which welcomed the world in to see the best of our small town. And the "best of the best" isn't even the great natural beauty that we enjoy so much. It's the truly amazing people who live here. So hats off to you, Westport. Well done! We all owe a special thank-you to the indefatigable Nancy Decker, who took the lead in organizing this year's event, which included the extra work necessary to tie the Festival into the larger Quad celebrations happening throughout the region. Nancy also led the way in organizing the excellent new Visitors Center in the Heritage House. Thank you, Nancy, for all your hard work. We might also mention George Maffey, who over the past decade or so has played the leading role in getting both the Festival and Visitors Center under way, not to mention doing much of the actual labor in restoring the Heritage House himself. Working closely with the Chamber of Commerce, George laid the groundwork that made this year's success possible. Of course, thanks also go to all the volunteers who helped with all the many tasks that were part of making these projects work so well. That's a lot of volunteer hours, and it only happens when people

like you care enough to step up and put the time in. It seemed pretty clear that this year more people than ever came to town for the Festival. Next year promises to be even bigger and better. This weekend I hope you'll come see our superbly talented young actors of the Depot Theatre Apprentice Program in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," directed by Lindsay Pontius and Scott Gibbs, which is the first offering in this year's Westport Shakespeare-in-the-Park Festival in Ballard Park. Showtimes are Friday and Saturday, August 14 and 15, at 5 p.m., with a raindate of Sunday, August 16. Admission is free. It's going to be a really fun show this year, and the cast includes students from nearby communities such as Moriah, Elizabethtown, and Jay, as well as Westport. They're buzzing with energy and promise to light up the stage. Well, not the stage exactly—the trees nearby. This year, we've moved the action from the Pavilion to the lightly wooded hillside nearby, since the play itself is full of woodsy mystery. It's got magic, romance, love potions, comedy, intrigue— and, of course, fairies. We'll let you know where to sit. Bring a chair or blanket and prepare to be enchanted.
WILLSBORO
ESSEX onya Aubin asked me if I had heard of the rumor that there were bats in the belfry at a local Willsboro church. Now I don’t know about ya’ll but the notion of old bats in a church belfry has given me more chuckles than watching Bill Kissam getting pulled on his back into the DNC by his dog Ben. Ben is the only dog in the world that drops off fur in 5 pound clumps whenever he walks around. I collected the latest batch and threw it in the Boquet where it plugged up the river for 23 hours. In fact I understand that the NY DOT, in an effort to repair the Willsboro Mountain Road, has asked Bill to walk Ben up and down the roadway covering the road. It certainly is a better idea than anything DOT has done. In more startling news, I understand that the Caveneys are going to manage the Essex ice Cream shop as a benefit operation for St.John’s Episcopal Church. I offered to teach them how to hollow scoop Ice cream the way Mrs. Alexander used to but they declined. Will they buy their ice cream from ReNu or any other second hand operation? Will they offer more low fat or no fat ice cream or yogurt? Did I ever tell you the story of a young

man who walked into Mrs. Alexander and asked for a .05 cone? “What kind do you want” asked Mrs. Alexander? “It don’t make me no never mind” the young man responded. Another rendition of the immensely popular Settlers and Settlements show is scheduled for the Adirondack Museum in E-Town on August 20th at 7:30. Over 200 people have attended the show without one fight taking place. Who knows maybe this version will be the ice breaker. Scores of phone calls have identified Katherine Preston and John Bingham as “do it all” Essex Days coordinators, last minute problem solvers, and visitors to each booth and never once got their picture taken next to the hot dog stand. Its people like these that make Essex Days such a success. How do I know that this event is a success? Well, crowds and vendors return in increasing numbers. Saw in this paper that Lenny, E-county DOT engineer, is retiring. Will someone tell me why when a person retires: new appointees always get more money; a clean truck; and, new shoes? Oh, I hear that Kyle Wrisley is the demolition champ of Vermont.

nother recent busy weekend for Willsboro. The Smith House Medical Center had their grand opening of the new Physical /Wellness Center down on Rt. 22, just outside of the Village of Essex. This is a beautiful center with a lot of new exercise equipment. They are offering three wellness programs at this site and this is a great addition to our two communities. Mark Hummel will be there two and a half days a week, and there is available an independent program that those choosing this program the center will be accessible at your convince along with other helpful guidance. I was very impressed to watch an end of the youth summer program event, they had a talent show and all of the children took part. I was also very impressed with the children’s talents and that the youth councilors also got right into the acts. It was filmed and was to be shown on cable 3, hope you got to see it. Maria Evens was the over all counselor and it looks like she did a terrific job. They have one last week in the summer program. Then the Ecumenical Vacation Bible School will be coming up the very next week. It will be held at the Willsboro United Methodist Church the week of Aug. 17 to 21 daily from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. We are Looking for many to attend the Comprehensive Plan steering committee’s two meetings this weekend of Aug, 14 & 15. This is to get community input on our past, present and future plans for the development of our community. The meetings will be held at the Commonwealth
Home Fashions Cafeteria on the 14th from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. and the 15th 9 a.m. to noon. The Annual meeting and program for the Willsboro Heritage Society will be held on Friday, Aug. 14 at Scragwood and the Bruce & Darcey Hale’s home at 7:00 p.m.. The program will help us to recall a once rich part of our history of the Quarry life and ship building business. Don’t forget to check out the production of “The Sunshine Boys” at the Essex Theater this coming week. Another wonderful opportunity for any interested persons on the proper way to prune trees, should try to attend a free workshop to be held at the Gilliland Cemetery on Thursday, Aug. 20 from 10 to 11 a.m. Then from 11 to 12, Steve & Ben of the Arbor-Op Tree Care will be climbing and trimming the large tree in the center of the cemetery. Any further information needed call Larry Allen at 572-6659. Hopeful that people have noticed the addition of a new wooden arbor entrance on the South side of the cemetery thanks to this donation by the Old Adirondack Furniture Company.

The Lustre Kings to perform Aug. 20 WESTPORT — The Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks Ballard Park Concert Series will continue this Thursday, Aug. 20, at 7 p.m. with The Lustre Kings, a ‘50s RockA-Billy band. Mark Gamsjager and the Lustre Kings play rock and roll the right way. The powerhouse combo from Albany wowed crowds at Manhattan’s Rodeo Bar, Seattle’s Tractor Tavern and all points in-between; and they've done it with uncommon fervor, commitment and flair. The Gretsch-toting Gamsjager draws from a deeper well than most roots rock acts, giving his music a breadth and depth while still keeping the bar hopping and the dance floor filled. In addition to their own dates, Mark Gamsjager and the Lustre Kings have also accompanied Wanda Jackson, the Queen of Rockabilly, for more than five years, and frequently work with other seasoned artists like Bill Kirchen, Eddie Angel and Robert Gordon. For more information about this group, visit www.lus-
trekings.com. Donations are requested to keep these performances available to the public. With state cuts ACNA depends on the audiences to help support these performances. This program is made possible in part by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, Westport Chamber of Commerce, Stewarts, The Honeybee Community Fund, Westport Marina, and Essex County STOP DWI.

ELIZABETHTOWN — New data suggests that Essex County has the highest rate of Type 2 diabetes in the region. According to Essex County Department of Public Health Educator Jessica Darney Buehler, 11.3 percent of adults in the county have diabetes. This figure is a dramatic increase over a 2003 seven-county survey that found area rates of about 6.3 percent. Buehler said this number is increasing rapidly as a result of an explosion of the Type 2 form, which is related to behavioral causes. Collected in 2008, the 11.3 percent figure dwarfs prevelence rates in other area counties, she said. According to data collected by the Center for Disease Control, 9.7 percent of New York State residents have been diagnosed with diabetes. The Clinton County population has a 9 percent diabetes prevalence rate and Franklin is 9.9 percent. “What we are seeing is a result of the types of foods available and the types of jobs people are doing,” Buehler said. “We are a far more sedentary people now then we were in the past.” The CDC has been warning that Type 2 Diabetes may become one of the largest health risks among Americans in the coming decades. Some federal public health specialists are predicting reduced median life spans of future generations because of the prevalence of Type 2. Type 2 diabetes has been a public health concern for decades on Native American reservations, sometimes afflicting up to 50 percent of a given population. “We need to look at our systems,” Buehler said. “We have to redesign our communities and our lifestyles in order to deal with this.”

Do stores lose when couponers win?
I
f you're a regular reader of my column by now you know that I love paying as little as possible for my groceries. Getting many things for free is great for the household budget, and it's fun, too. Yet, as you start to see your weekly grocery bill dropping by a third or even by half you may start to wonder, "Is my store losing money because I use coupons?" You'll be happy to know that your store doesn't lose a dime when you use coupons. In fact, they make more money when you use coupons to save. The next time you're clipping coupons, read the fine print on one. The text reads, "Manufacturer will reimburse retailer the face value of this coupon plus $0.08 handling fee." Did you catch that? Not only does the store get back the coupon's entire worth, it also will receive from the product manufacturer a payment of 8 cents per coupon redeemed. Now, 8 cents may not seem like a lot, but if I take 20 coupons to the store this week, the store will make an extra $1.60 during my shopping trip. I save money and the store makes more money. It's a win-win. In one of my coupon classes recently, someone asked me if the store still makes money when a shopper uses a coupon to get an item for free. Yes, it does. Here's a great example. This week, my grocery store is having a "dollar sale" in which items are on sale for $1 each. Pairing $1 coupons with a $1 sale is one of the easiest and best ways to get grocery items for free. So, I had five $1 coupons during this sale and I bought five $1 items with them. Even though I got those five products for free my store will still get the $5 cost of those items reimbursed to them, plus 8 cents for each coupon I've used. I went home with five free products and my store will receive $5.40 from my coupons. Rest assured, even though you're taking home free things, your store is still being paid for them ... just not by you. Why do manufacturers offer coupons that will many times give shoppers their items for free? Manufacturers want shoppers to try their products. They work hard marketing a brand and enticing shoppers to try it. They hope that by offering a coupon you'll try their product, realize that you can't live with-

out it, and continue to buy it on numerous occasions in the future. They're trying to build brand loyalty and product awareness. You also may wonder if the manufacturers themselves lose money when people use coupons. Manufacturers do, indeed, reimburse stores for each coupon that shoppers By Jill Cataldo use. However, coupons are part of their larger business plans. Manufacturers spend millions to establish a new brand or continue cementing loyalty to an old one. They often need to make shoppers aware of varieties of existing products or seasonal items, and they're willing to pay a certain amount of money in the form of coupons as part of these important marketing strategies. Of the hundreds of thousands of coupon inserts that arrive in newspapers each week all over the country, the number of coupons that are actually cut out and redeemed at the stores by shoppers is around 6 percent. That's it. About 94 percent of all coupons are thrown in the trash. Reading that statistic always makes me cringe. All that "cash" being tossed away? It makes me shudder to think about all of the free goods that many people pitch into the recycle bin each week. If they only knew how many things they could get for free with those coupons. Who doesn't want to get things for free? Almost everybody does. Coupons make it very easy to get items for free. Next week, I'll tell you another easy way to get free groceries with coupons.

To the editor, The people of Essex County deserve truth, rather than sour grapes. I worked for Julie Garcia as an ADA for over two years. I know how the office operates, and what kind of person, and District Attorney, she is. She is honest, hard-working, and does the right thing even when it is not the politically expedient thing. She’s faced the consequences, as party leaders have chosen someone from outside our county to run against her. Complaints that Julie is not a “hands-on” DA, must be from those who have no real idea of how a prosecutor ’s office operates. Like an iceberg, at least 90 percent of it is never seen by the public. Most cases are resolved through plea negotiations. Trials represent a miniscule fraction of the time spent by prosecutors. However, Julie has done trials, and successfully. I know, because we did some together. Talk to the victims we worked with and they’ll tell you Julie helped get them through the worst experience of their lives. However, the job of DA is far more complex than simply prosecuting cases. It is an administrative and political job. It requires meetings and phone calls – with Supervisors, department heads, and members of the public with personal issues they want the DA to address. Julie talks to them all. Where law and ethics allow, she’ll help. It’s a constant juggling act. Julie hires competent Assistants, and they do the prosecution work willingly so the DA can deal with all those other

Local arborists share expertise

WILLSBORO — A team of arborists who have been generously serving local nonprofit causes will soon be putting on a free clinic for those wanting to learn more about proper tree care. Tree specialists from Mountain Tree Services will be hosting a free homeowner ’s pruning clinic in Willsboro Aug. 20, the latest of several contributions the company has made to the community. Recently, the crew lent their skills to the Whallonsburg Grange Hall, where a nearby tree was interfering with renovations to the historic building. “They took down a big tree that had been leaning against the side shale roof,” said Ted Cornell, who has been spearheading renovation efforts at the Grange Hall. Cornell called the multiple hours the crew spent using their equipment to cut the tree from high above ground a “valuable volunteer service,” one of many that were crucial in making the renovations a success. “It was a very complex job,” he said. “Because of the way it was leaning, it had to be taken down in sections.” “We just want to be good members of the community,” said Ben Collins, manager of Mountain Tree Services, which operates out of Willsboro. As a certified member of the International Society of Arboriculture, Collins said he and his colleagues are welltrained in appropriate procedures for tree pruning and removal, and are kept up to date with the latest standards of care. “Part of the responsibility of being an arborist is to educate,” Collins said. It’s for that reason he and his crew, together with another crew from ArborOps, will be presenting the pruning clinic.

Professional Arborist Ben Collins makes his descent from a tall birch tree near Lake Champlain after some pruning. Collins, who frequently volunteers his services to local nonprofits, will join fellow arborists in a free pruning workshop in Willsboro. Properly pruning trees will improve their structure and vigor, said Collins, and prevent catastrophic injury that could potentially result from severe weather. Through the clinic, Collins hopes to show residents how, where, and when to make cuts that will keep trees healthy. “There are a lot of things that homeowners can do that, while well-intended, are going to be harmful to a tree.

Smith House opens new wellness center By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ESSEX — A new option is available for local residents of all ages in need of a place to exercise. The new Smith House Wellness Center opened its doors Aug. 7 on Lake Shore Road in Essex, offering people throughout the region a new facility for physical therapy, fitness, and other medical treatment. The previous owners of the building, Frank and Allison Hain, were operating it as a fitness center in 2007 when they offered to sell it to the Smith House. With grants from USDA Rural Development and the JC Kellogg Foundation, Smith House was able to purchase the building in October 2008. “This provided the Smith House with a unique opportunity to expand physical therapy services and begin a wellness program,” said Mark Bonfey, Vice Chair of the Smith House’s Board of Directors. Smith House Executive Director Robin Pierce thanked financial supporters and representatives at all levels of of government, many of whom attended a ribbon cutting ceremony marking the building’s opening. “We believe that wellness is about the whole person,” said Pierce, “so... we started a wellness program where people can access our equipment and services, such as nutritional counseling and personal help with their training.” The center remains open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to physical therapy patients, who may use electronic keycards to access the equipment there independently if cleared by a physician to do so. Mark Hummel, who serves as the physical therapy provider for the Smith House, will continue to provide services at the wellness center
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. He said the new facilities will provide more options for patients as they can now choose from varying levels of supervision. The facility will also function as a fitness center for non-patients, who can also use the equipment there at any time for a modest monthly fee. “It’s an exercise center, but with education,” Hummel said. “I don’t think a lot of places do that.” In relocating their physical therapy services to the new wellness center, the Smith House effectively triples their space for that line of treatment. Pierce said the center can accommodate up to 20 people at any given time. “This building has been remodeled so we can provide all the services we provide in Willsboro,” said Pierce, noting that the facility could is equipped to deal with more acute medical situations if need be. Pierce said that the Smith House hopes to add more services at the site in the future, such as mental health counseling, massage therapy, or even yoga. The Hains were among those present at the building’s grand opening. Frank said the center is being utilized just as they hoped it would. “Physical therapy is such a necessity for people,” he said. “The Smith House has done such a good job organizing this. We wanted them to have it because they serve the community so well.” Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward also made an appearance, and praised the Smith House for its continuing expansion of services. If government is going to make the effort of contributing to health care costs, Sayward said, there would have to be more focus on preventative care, thereby preventing more costly treatment for acute problems. “This building today is a giant step forward in the commitment to do just that,” she said.

Lonesome Traveler hopes to do more performances in Essex County, Terry said, especially in Au Sable Forks where he said there otherwise isn’t much offered for entertainment. “It’s a good time and it’s free,” said Terry. “They get to dance and socialize, and it’s going to raise money to help our community.”

Candidates From page 1 her record of fiscal conservatism should outweigh concerns that she is too liberal. "I think that the majority of people understand her and will support her," said Jackson. "I don't think she will lose as (many voters) as she will gain for her consistency." Some of Scozzafava’s left-leaning views have put off many conservative Republicans, however, and Conservative party leaders chose Lake Placid accountant Doug Hoffman to challenge her. Hoffman, 59, is the managing partner of Dragon, Benware, Crowley & Co., an accounting firm with offices throughout the North Country. He had originally run as a Republican, but sought the Conservative nod after GOP leaders chose Scozzafava. He was chosen Aug. 6 by a committee of party chairs. “I have not left the Republican Party,” Hoffman said at an Aug 5. press conference in Plattsburgh. “The Republican Party has left me and has turned its back on the voters of the 23rd Congressional District and on the values that made our
VALLEY NEWS - 11
party strong.” Hoffman said his more socially conservative views better reflect the moral fiber of North Country voters, and that Scozzafava is too willing to allow government spending. “I am a fiscal conservative who believes that our government leaders are spending money we don’t have,” he said. “Ms. Scozzafava may say she is a fiscal conservative, but her record in Albany says otherwise.” Though he has never been an elected official, Hoffman said his experience as a business owner and former board member of the Adirondack Economic Development Corporation speaks to his ability to create jobs. The field of candidates expanded once more on Aug. 10 when Democratic party chairs decided on Plattsburgh lawyer Bill Owens as their candidate. Owens, 60, is an attorney with Stafford, Owens, Pillar, Murnane & Trombley PLLC in Plattsburgh. He is a veteran of the Air Force and has had a hand in forming the Plattsburgh Airbase Redevelopment Corporation (PARC). “I’ve devoted my career to serving our country and helping create jobs in New York State,” Owens said. “I am running for Congress to use my experience to get our local economy moving again and create good paying jobs.”
Owens said he was proud to have the support of Democratic party leaders, who called him “an effective, independent voice for our priorities.” “I’ll work to bring home federal investments for our infrastructure and schools, private business investment like we brought into PARC, and help for our dairy farmers who are suffering from severe price deflation. And I’ll work to make sure our servicemen and women at Fort Drum get the support they deserve.” If history is any indicator, Owens may have his work cut out for him. No Democrat has been elected to Congress in the region since the 1870s. Registered Republicans outnumber Democrats in the district about three to two. Governor David Paterson, who is charged with setting a date for the special election, has yet to do so. Jackson said holding the special election along with the rest of the November 2009 elections would save money and effort for the 11 counties involved. "I think the Governor will show some common sense and have it then," he said.

Elizabeth Lee, another organizer of the event said she hopes the alumni get-togethers will help instill a sense of place and heritage to encourage young families to move back into the region after college. “I think there are a lot of people that want to come back and haven’t figured out how to make it work yet,” she said. “Many of our alumni who were in attendance at the 75th Anniversary Celebration this past November expressed their desire to continue to find opportunities to connect and network with former students,” Freeman added. “I am certain that this event will be a huge success and the first of many more to come.” 43704

Nature Conservancy looks to improve species migration By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com KEENE VALLEY — The Nature Conservancy is spearheading an initiative to determine how transportation infrastructure, land-use planning, and habitat protection can facilitate species migration in the Lake Champlain basin. “The goal is to provide safe passage for species a way for a moose, say, to go from the Adirondacks to Vermont with little risk of being struck by a car, or a salmon to make it far enough upstream to spawn without being blocked by a dry culvert,” said Michael Carr, executive director of the Adirondack Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. Carr said roads, culverts, and dams can contribute to habitat fragmentation, which can become perilous to wildlife by cutting off opportunities for populations to mix and breed and move between breeding, nesting and feeding grounds. Certain improvements to transportation infrastructure can alleviate the problem, however. “To date, we’ve raised several hundred thousand dollars in grants for this initiative in the Champlain Valley, which is a critical piece of a larger ef-
fort,” said Carr. It is one of six projects to benefit from a $1 million grant awarded by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s State Wildlife Grant (SWG) program toward a multistate effort across the Northern Forest, an area that covers 80 million acres across New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and parts of Canada. Transportation agencies from across the four-state region are participating in the project to help identify and incorporate improvements that allow for species migration as part of road maintenance/upgrade work planned for 2009-2014 along priority habitat linkage corridors. Preliminary studies point to the southern headwaters region of Lake Champlain as one such key linkage between the Adirondacks and Green Mountains. High-probability movement corridors for black bear, American marten, and bobcat have already been identified there through the use of a sophisticated computer modeling program, Carr said. Barriers have also been identified the same way. “With the Conservancy’s mapping and modeling work, this project will
Mountain Lake Services Celebration Walk Aug. 21 PORT HENRY — On Friday, Aug. 21, Mountain Lake Services will host a Celebration Walk in recognition of their statewide organization’s, NYSARC Inc., 60th anniversary. NYSARC Inc. began in 1949 by concerned families and friends of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In the 60 years since, NYSARC Inc. and its 57 chapters have helped to raise awareness and lobby for legislation that promotes equal rights, dignity and full citizenship for the individuals they serve. Mountain Lake Services, one of NYSARC Inc.’s 57 chapters, provides services throughout Essex County. This event will offer a 4-mile course and a 1-mile course.
help us understand how and where we can make improvements that will benefit wildlife as part of our routine highway maintenance activities,” said Gary McVoy, Director of Operations Division with NY State Department of Transportation. Elsewhere in the Lake Champlain basin, the Conservancy and transportation partners are identifying barriers within aquatic ecosystems with funding from a second SWG grant and an agreement with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Some of the work will entail looking at constrictions caused by culverts along Lake Champlain tributaries like the Boquet, Saranac, and Upper Winooski Rivers, as well as smaller streams that provide habitat for salmon and species of conservation concern. Once identified, the partners will determine how best to alleviate blockages and promote fish passage. Carr said the Nature Conservancy will seek to link key habitats, giving native species the room to migrate. “People in the Valley will benefit, too, as ecosystems sustain important species tied to economic livelihoods and outdoor pursuits.” he said.
The 4-mile event will begin at Mountain Lake Services integrated work center, Essex Industries, at 17 Pilfershire Road in Minville. The 1-mile course will begin at the Moriah Central School. The event begins at 2 p.m. with the start of the 4-mile Celebration Walk. The 1-mile walk will begin at approximately 2:45 p.m. The finish line and celebration will be held at the Helen F. McDonald Center in Port Henry with music provided by Mountain Lake Services’ agency band “Generations.” The public is invited to participate in this event. Interested individuals can contact Dawn McCarthy at 546-7151, ext. 44 or the agency Web site, www.mountainlakeservices.org, for more information.

Adirondack Park: Older and poorer, but still beautiful
H
ealthy, productive land and water resources, wildlife habitat, parks and open space, culturally and historically significant landscapes, and available and accessible recreation lands are fundamental to the American way of life and our future prosperity,” notes a recent report by the private, bipartisan Outdoor Resources Review Group. “At stake now and for future generations is the health of our people, our economy, our communities, and the lands and waters on which we depend, in short, our quality of life.” This wide-ranging review, sponsored by the Outdoor Resources Review Group, looked at how Americans engage with and value the nation’s land and water resources and its outdoor recreation assets. A summary of the report calls for a comprehensive overhaul of programs and policies to safeguard these resources for future generations and to meet the needs of a growing population. “The American environmental movement has focused so much on preserving nature that it has neglected to do enough to preserve a constituency for nature. It’s important not only to save forests, but also to promote camping, hiking, bouldering and whitewater rafting so that people care about saving those forests,” wrote Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times. The protection of wilderness lands presents a unique paradox. Wilderness lands, which are defined as “untrammeled by man” will only be preserved if people use them. In the eyes of many, if the land isn’t utilized, it holds no value and thus, there is no need to protect it. “Will baby boomers constitute the last generation of Americans to share an intimate, familial attachment to the land and water?” Richard Louv asked in his book Last Child in the Woods. This growing detachment of youth from the natural world is part of a national trend. This detachment is evident in the Adirondacks as well. If our youth do not use and enjoy the local woods and waters, they will see no need to protect them. What will happen when the next generation takes over? In the park, “environmental advocacy” can be considered an industry due to the wide range of preservation/protection groups and organizations based in the park. The Adirondack Nature Conservancy in Keene Valley and The Adirondack Council in Elizabethtown are both considered major employers in their respective communities. The Saranac Lake based, Adirondack Wildlife Conservation Society employs six full-time and 10 part-time staffers. The Adirondack Mountain Cub has a multi-million dollar economic impact in the park, with a substantial payroll in Lake George where it is headquartered and at Adirondac Loj on Heart Lake near Lake Placid. The national trend of a growing detachment of youth from the outdoors is further exasperated in the Adirondacks due to an out-migration of area youth that was detailed in the recently released, Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Report. The report, which examined the “state of community,” profiling the 103 municipalities that comprise the Adirondack Park. The report detailed a significant decline in the number of young people living in the park. The park will be a special place for our children only of they have the opportunity to enjoy it. If youth of the region do not possess the skills and resources to utilize the park’s natural resources, they are strangers in their own land. Rural areas across the country suffer from the same situation which has been labeled as a ‘brain drain’ or ‘bright flight.’ It’s a situation that occurs when many of the best and the brightest students leave town for college and never look back. As the ‘wired generation’ continues to tighten their bonds to the virtual world, our children will likely spend less time in the local world of forests and streams. If they don’t use the land for pleasure and recreation, they may not develop the strong bonds to the land that their parents or grandparents possessed. As a result, the land will not have a hold on them and it will be easier for them to leave.
Welcome to Old Fogeyville According to statistics, the Adirondack population is aging at a pace that is three times the national average. The town of Newcomb has the highest median age (51.4 years) in the park. The report estimated that by 2020, only the west coast of Florida will exceed the Adirondacks as the oldest region in America. In the park-residents are on average five years older than residents of the state and communities inside the BlueLine have experienced an increase in median age of nearly nine years between 1980 and 2000. The median age of residents has risen by only three years in the rest of the state. The report detailed a notable decline in residents under the age of 10 and a growing exodus of residents between the ages of 20 and 35. Students in grades K-12 represent only 13.5 percent of the park’s population, as compared to 18 percent nationally. School enrollments in the park have decreased by 329 students annually throughout the current decade, which is equivalent to the loss of one average size Adirondack school district every 19 months. During this timeframe, the park has also seen a significant in-migration of residents between the ages of 35 and 65. In the 10 year period, the report projects that there has been a loss of more than 7,000 residents between the ages of 0 and 34 and an increase of more than 13,500 residents who are 35 and older. These factors, coupled with the aging babyboomer population, indicate a continued aging trend. School districts are experiencing a decrease in new students due to this out migration of young families. A steady in-migration of semiretired and retired persons will not be enough to offset these loses. Although some Adirondack counties have experienced population growth in recent years, the majority of the growth in the region is occurring on the periphery of the park and beyond. Other disturbing statistics reveal that household incomes in the park are lower than those in most of New York State. Approximately 40 percent of the homes are owned by people whose primary residence is outside of the Blue Line. The Adirondack Park has also experienced a major job losses in the traditional forest products industry, while other extraction industries such as mining have all but disappeared. The corrections industry has made up for some of the population and industrial losses. Today, one out of every 26 people that are considered year round, park residents living in the Adirondacks resides in a correctional facility. Correctional facilities now account for over 5,100 park “residents.” Public sector employment, on the federal, state, county or municipal level is responsible for one out of every three jobs in the park. These employment and diminishing population trends will likely continue unless a clean industry can settle into the park an offer viable employment. Until that time, seasonally dependent positions in the service industry will have to fill the void, but they are unlikely to reverse the ongoing brain drain. Next week, I will explore some creative options for retaining our youth and stemming the ongoing ‘bright flight.’ Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Darker shades indicate best fishing days
nyone who missed the June 26 edition of New York Outdoor News is probably unaware of the controversy surrounding the chairman of the APA board, Curt Stiles, and his decision to open a locked gate to gain access this spring to a public camping area at Lake Lila. The gate was closed for early season maintenance, but Stiles and three others, not wanting to hoof it the 5plus miles to Lake Lila, decided to first summon the aid of a state forest ranger to open the gate and then, when one could not be found, root around for a hidden key. They conveniently located one under a rock by the gate — as the story goes, left there by a property owner, and Stiles proceeded to drive down the dirt road. The road is a public easement through private property that winds into picturesque Lake Lila — part of the Whitney Preserve purchased by the state a decade ago. The group was later found by a forest ranger, and while no tickets were issued, many are calling the move hypocritical by a man who has consistently come out in favor of restricting motorized access to public lands in the Adirondack Park. New York Outdoor News Editor Steve Piatt is one such person. Piatt blasted Stiles in a June 26 editorial — even going so far as comparing his hypocrisy with that of former governor and attorney general Eliot Spitzer. Piatt pointed out Stiles was the lone Adirondack Park resident on the APA board who voted against continued float plane access to Lows Lake. He said many speculate Stiles didn’t “find” a key to the gate, but rather was provided one by someone at the state. “But beyond that, consider: a guy who plays a lead role in deciding who goes where and how within remote areas of the park, who has time and time again taken firm stances against motorized access, ‘finds’ a key to a gate, helps himself and then drives into an area which at the time — the gate is opened later in the year — was closed to motorized access,” Piatt wrote. “This is a guy who should be taking the parking spot furthest away from any trailhead, who should be following park regulations to a T and, when in doubt, erring on the side of caution.” I have to agree strongly with Piatt’s sentiment — the difference is, Spitzer took responsibility for his actions — Stiles has done no such thing. No apology. No admission of wrongdoing whatsoever. It is no wonder the division between the Adirondack Park Agency and Adirondack residents exists, when you have people in power positions at the APA believing they are entitled to something the rest of us are not. I have left my vehicle at many a locked gate and walked — with my kids for that matter — to a lake or pond whose access had been cut off due to poor road conditions. I like to think our forest rangers have a pretty solid reason for doing this, like the road could pose a hazard to those unaware of its condition. When a gate is locked, the road is closed to motorized access. Period. Would you drive around a barricaded road which had been closed because of an accident or natural disaster not knowing of the peril that may lay ahead? Apparently, Mr. Stiles would. And, those who work with him would no doubt defend his honor, which is exactly what happened here. When asked if Stiles had broken any law, the APA and DEC determined he had not, because the road he accessed was a private road on which the state holds a conservation easement. Interestingly, there are a number of similar easements held by the state where gates block access during certain times of the year. Perkins Clearing in Arietta is one such location that comes to mind. Does this determination by the DEC mean the general public has the right to drive under or around that gate when it is closed for road maintenance? Dangerous precedent, if you ask me. So, next time you encounter a locked gate accessing a state conservation easement, leave no rock overturned in your quest to get through. I’m going to go out on a limb here, however, and say when law enforcement approaches you, the outcome will be a shade different than what Mr. Stiles experienced.
