Essex County leaders respond to APRAP
Sprague, Hommes win GOP nomination By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com
By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County officials lauded a recently completed report that shows some troubling statistics for communities in the Adirondacks. Jim Martin from Landscape Architecture and Engineering gave a presentation to the Essex County Economic Development Committee at their Sept. 14 meeting summarizing the Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project, which outlines the economic and demographic challenges facing the region. Using data from local governments and state agencies, researchers compiled charts and color-coded maps showing trends all too familiar to the Adirondack Park: a stagnant, aging population and stifled opportunities for growth. Martin said that while communities around the edge of the park have shown increases in population, the core communities of the Adirondacks have been steadily losing people. “The median age is increasing at an exceptionally fast rate,” he said, noting the Adirondacks are rivaled only by the west coast of Florida for the oldest residents. The rising age of people in the park is felt most heavily in the schools, Martin said. The number of K-12 students has fallen 31 percent since 1970. Meanwhile, the number of teachers has risen 43 percent, putting extra stress on communities to produce more revenue through property tax. Adirondack schools are losing students at a rate of 354 every 18 months, said Martin, the equivalent of one average school district in the Adirondacks. Martin also pointed to land use as another major issue in the Adirondacks. With more than 40 percent of the park owned by the state, another 20 percent under conservation easement, and another 15 percent already in use, only 15 percent of the land in the Adirondacks is available for development. forty percent of residential parcels are owned by residents with addresses outside the Blue Line. Unemployment in the region rises to 30 percent during the winter months, said Martin, and even during the summer it is still higher than in the rest of the state. “This assessment review is incredible,” said Robert Dedrick, supervisor of Ticonderoga and chair of the committee. “If we can't use a lot of this data, we should be ashamed of ourselves.” Dedrick said one of the most startling statistics in the report is that less than one half of one percent of the land is used for commercial or industrial purposes. “Those are the drivers of the local economy,” said Martin, noting actively utilized commercial and industrial land requires 30 cents worth of services for every dollar they generate while residential land requires $1.30. “Having a

ELIZABETHTOWN — The two candidates endorsed by the Essex County Republican Committee both claimed victories in a tightly contested Sept. 15 primary election, winning the right to run on the Republican Party line this November. Incumbent Sheriff Henry Hommes defeated Michael “Ike” Tyler with 52 percent of the vote, 2119 to 1927 while Clinton County Assistant District Attorney Kristy Sprague defeated incumbent Essex County District Attorney Julie Garcia with 53 percent of the vote, 2312 to 2044. Both Tyler and Garcia plan to remain in the race, taking part in the Nov. 3 general election, Tyler as an Independent and Garcia on the Democratic line.

Lewis church prepares for bicentennial By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com LEWIS — Members of Essex County’s oldest Congregational church are seeking help as they work to restore a community landmark and symbol of religious heritage. The Lewis Congregational Church will mark its 200th anniversary in 2012, and members of the small congregation have set out to renovate the church and its grounds in preparation for the celebration. “We’re trying to head this up early and have a good bicentennial,” said David Blades, town supervisor and a trustee of the church. Planned renovations include removal of dangerous trees near the church building, shingling the porch roof, and repainting the interior and exterior. Church members are also looking to repair the retaining wall that bolsters the base of the hill on which the church sits.
A special committee has been formed from among the church’s two dozen members to complete the renovations in time to hold a weekend-long celebration in the summer of 2012. “It’s important that we acknowledge our religious heritage,” said Blades, “and this is one way to do it.” According to church records, the Lewis Congregational Church dates back to 1812 when Rev. Cyrus Comstock settled in Essex County, establishing Congregational churches throughout the area. The church in Lewis was his first. Comstock, who became famous for his invention of the Comstock wagon, was buried in the cemetery adjoining the Lewis church following his death in 1852. The earliest members of the church set out to build a permanent structure in 1818. A parcel

ACAP program collects socks for kids By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A recent project through Adirondack Community Action Programs is helping kids in Essex County keep their feet warm and dry this winter. In May, ACAP joined Community Action Programs from across the state in a project to “put socks on the feet and smiles on the faces” of more than 10,000 children in New York State. ACAP staff members Jenn
Bolton and Marge Garcia nicknamed the program “Sock it to Me,” and set a goal to collect 600 pairs of socks to distribute to children throughout Essex County. “With everyone feeling the pinch right now, we thought this would be a great way to give families a little extra help,” said Garcia. Collections started in June and ended Sept. 11. Altogether, the initiative collected 1,200 pairs of socks; double the original goal.
ENERGY T AX CREDIT METAL ROOFING
We will match and beat any locally advertised price on metal roofing by 2% Come see our colors that qualify for Energy Tax Credit.
“We are thrilled that so many people got involved and helped us exceed our goal,” said Bolton. The majority of socks were donated by individuals and organizations in the community, including donations from staff and senior centers. Seniors participated in a challenge and between two sites, Willsboro and Essex, collected 167 pairs of socks. Support also came from Wal-Mart in Ticonderoga, and Target in Plattsburgh. ACAP staff and community volunteers met last week, sorted socks, and have them ready to distribute to families in Essex County. “A number of socks will be distributed through programs such as Head Start,” said Garcia. “Others will be distributed through other agencies and through the local food shelves.”

Patches Outdoor pets need a warm, secure shelter with clean, unfrozen water. If your pet enjoys living boh inside and outside, you may want to consider a pet door so that they can go in and out at will, and will not be stuck outside on a snowy or frigid day. Now is a perfect time to prepare for those frosty winter months ahead!
've promised to share some of my experiences in Firefighter 1, the training class I've been taking since August, and this is probably a good time to do so. Last week was chock-full of valuable "hands on" exercises in full PPE—personal protective equipment, which means turn-out gear plus air pack. Normally, we meet at the Keeseville Firehouse, but last week we met for one evening's class at the old school building in Willsboro, which has been abandoned and thus makes a perfect place for training. Inside, our instructors had built mazes out of two-by-fours and plywood in three different rooms, including the gym. To simulate a smoke-filled environment, we were blindfolded over our facemasks. Using touch and hearing, in teams of two we carried out searches and wall breaches (when a firefighter has to break through an interior wall to escape a hazardous environment), crawling on hands and knees through the mazes and probing for victims or obstacles with a hand tool. Communication with your partner was a big part of getting this right. We also practiced disentangling ourselves from wire, "bailing out" of a window, and escaping from a structure by following a hoseline back outside. Then last Saturday we met for a daytime double session back at Keeseville to actually practice squirting water for the first time. This was the hardest class physically, since part of it included advancing a

id I tell you that on Oct. 11, at 5 p.m., Connie Fee and some of her voice students will be giving a free concert of Sacred Music in the Essex Community Church? After five years of development, a questionnaire regarding the use of the word Oxymorons in the work place was developed by both the Plattsburg State Education Accreditation team and, separately (in two 15-minute sessions), by the Second Grade Class at Willsboro Central School. A team of experts assigned from within the DNC has selected the Willsboro submission as more professional, thorough, and readable. Fifth Asst. Vice President for Communications at Plattsburg State responded to this reporter ’s inquiry by saying, “A bunch of snotty nosed kids; I wonder if they would be interested in working on our Education Accreditation team.” This survey of Oxymorons (notice the last six letters?) concluded that the expression “That’s an oxymoron” is the most illused expression in the U.S. and still is the darling of mental midgets. 98 percent vot-
charged hoseline on hands and knees through a zig-zag course of cones in teams of four. At least this time we weren't blindfolded, but it was hot, sweaty, exhausting work, especially when breathing with the air pack. At the end of each run, I was very happy to get that mask off. Ah, fresh air! I began to see why the most common cause of line-of-duty deaths for firefighters is simple physical stress. A charged hoseline is a heavy, unwieldy beast—even if it might save your life. I'm in half-decent shape, but after 5 times through the cones I was whipped. Actually, I was whipped after 3 times. After 5 times I was really, really whipped. After that we practiced squirting water with various nozzles and appliances. It was a great day—I learned a lot, had fun, and got a major work-out all at the same time. A big thank-you to Cumberland Head and Cadyville fire departments for supplying engines and personnel for this class, and to Westport's Air One for refilling our bottles. If you're planning to go down to Crown Point for the big Quad bash there on Saturday, September 19, Westport musician Laurel Rule will direct the Champlain Valley String Orchestra in a performance of her composition "Crown Point Suite" on the main stage at 7 p.m. These are talented musicians from Westport and nearby towns, and it will be well worth hearing this original work by one of our own.
ed “military intelligence” as the most expressive Oxymoron. Other contenders were: “salesman honesty,” “ethical politicians,” “help from the government,” “stockbroker farmers,” “medical practice,” and “newspaper editors.” APA’s “substantial invisibility” did not make the list since most expressions from APA are oxymorons. Will I ever tell you enough times that on Oct. 11, at 5 p.m., about Connie Fee’s concert of sacred music in the Essex Community Church? Names of Beautification volunteers keep coming in, with Donna Bailey, and Colleen Van Hoven. Pretty Good served as a model for the committee. Say, speaking of beautification, will someone tell me the names of the person(s) mowing the four Essex cemeteries? There is a mangy cat trying to adopt me as her new owner. Now, I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to be around anyone with such little discernment. As my hero Charlie is fond of saying, “See Ya.”
O
ur Quad events have now come to a close, this past weekend. We had all of our tourist sites open for viewing and we did get some visitors come out to enjoy our treasures. Hope some of you got to enjoy the local school’s annual gala that took place this past week. Lori Lincoln Spooner and I attended the official opening of the Essex Visitor ’s Center. They have a very impressive display telling of their historic heritage in the village of Essex. That makes Willsboro, Essex and Westport now with open Visitor Centers. Keeseville has plans to have theirs open this next season. We do get a lot of visitor ’s that stop in for various reasons and they always enjoy having a person there to answer questions. If you would like to be a volunteer this next season just let Janice Allen know of your desire. Hopeful that all the eligible voters did get out to vote in the primary this past week; you need to lend support to your desired candidates. Did you notice as you were traveling down the Essex Road that the small building at the entrance of Noblewood Park now has all the bricks taken off the outside walls? It will soon have some new siding.
This is the first phase of the restoration project to make this building more usable, the next step is to work on the inside area next year. The Town crews are now installing the replacement fire hydrants; several have been tagged for replacement. We welcome our new Pharmacist Peter Avery at the Willsboro Pharmacy; this is a most welcome bit of news as we do want to be able to keep this much needed service in town. The restaurant at the Willsboro Marina closed for the season this past weekend; they are now in the process of winterizing the boats for storage. Some personal news includes the announcement of a baby girl born to Tyler Boardman, her name is Hayden Elizabeth Boardman and she came in weighing over 10 pounds. This makes Marnie Cutting a grandmother and Mary Boardman a greatgrandmother; both very proud grandparents. Sympathy extended to Win & Polly Belanger on the recent death of his sister Susan, who died on Sept. 5 after a short battle with cancer. Happy Birthday: Madeline Blanchard 9/23, Ethel Doyle 9/23, Florence LaMountain 9/25.

ADIRONDACK Couponing’s best kept secrets: CRYPTOGRAM Get two for the price of one
L
ast week, I shared one of the best-kept secrets of couponing: holding on to coupons for “One Free Item” and pairing them with a “Buy One, Get One Free” (BOGO) sale at the store. Any time you match a coupon for a free product to a store’s sale in which that same product is on sale BOGO, you take home two free items instead of one. And what’s better than getting one product free? Getting two for free, of course! This brings us to this week’s best-kept coupon secret… and if you liked last week’s secret, you’re going to love this:

When you use a BOGO coupon during a sale in which the same items are also part of a BOGO sale at the store, you will buy none – and get two for free! This one can be a little difficult to understand at first, so I will break it down using an actual example from a recent sale. My store had a certain brand of shampoo on sale BOGO in their weekly flier. This shampoo is regularly $4.99 a bottle. During this sale, a shopper will pay $4.99 for the first bottle and get the second bottle free. If I gave the store $4.99 in cash, how many bottles of shampoo would I take home? Two. Here’s where the fun begins. I’ve also got a coupon from the newspaper that states “Buy One [this brand] shampoo, Get One Free.” In the fine print on the coupon, it states that when my store redeems this coupon for reimbursement, they will receive the price of the shampoo, “up to $4.99 in value.” Did you catch that? Without even paying attention to the BOGO wording on the coupon, instead look at the value. It’s worth $4.99! Giving this coupon to the cashier is just like giving them $4.99 in cash. And with the shampoo on sale for $4.99 BOGO, I can take two bottles to the register

hey don’t drive, they don’t have a job and they don’t have a cell phone. They sometimes cannot tie their own shoes or zip up their own coat. Many are missing teeth and more than a few seem to have a difficult time sitting still. If you guessed that they are kindergarteners, you would be right. All around Essex County the class of 2022 has just or soon will experience their first day of school. They have initiated the fall ritual of school shopping which often includes a brand new backpack. Their new shoes may still not fit just right as they have not had enough time to stretch out yet. Many have stood with a parent or parents for the first time waiting for the big, yellow school bus. As they catch a last glance of mom out the school bus window, they wonder why mom is smiling and waving while she wipes away a tear. The bus is noisy, they bounce on the seat and they cannot see over the top of the seats nor do their feet touch the floor. They sit at the front of the bus and near the bus driver. It just feels safer. The older kids sit near the back and seem like giants as they walk by. While school is exciting and interesting to them, it can also be a little scary sometimes. They don’t mind standing close to each other. Having a buddy and holding each other ’s hand is OK. They like doing everything in groups and don’t mind sharing their stuff. They don’t hide their enthusiasm and are almost always smiling or laughing. They seem to know that they are beautiful, wonderful and perfect just as they are right now in this moment. Some are a little home sick the first couple of days but luckily, kindergarten teachers are imbued with a caring
and “pay” for them with my $4.99-value coupon. I’ve “purchased” none and take home two for free. In my coupon classes, this topic tends to raise a lot of By Jill Cataldo questions. Of course, audiences get very excited when they learn another easy way to get things for free! But some people get tripped up a little bit with over-thinking these coupons. In one class, someone spoke up and felt they should get four bottles for free, because the shampoo is already on sale BOGO at the store, and the coupon states “Buy One Shampoo, Get One Free.” But it doesn’t work that way (and the store cashier will take issue with that incorrect viewpoint, too!) Truly, the BOGO wording on the coupon is irrelevant when you are using the coupon during a sale in which those items are already BOGO at the store. What we as shoppers are looking at is the actual value of the coupon. Because the coupon has a value of $4.99, it’s just like handing the store that same amount in cash. I’ve touched on this in previous columns, and it’s important to mention it again. Think of your coupons as cash, because they are! They represent money to you and to your store. And when you start thinking of them as cash, it helps you visualize why you can “buy” items that will ultimately be free with a coupon. Next week, I’ve got yet another coupon secret to share, and it, too, involves BOGO sales. © CTW Features

As a teacher she taught many important things upon which an entire education was built, As a person, she taught lessons that were even more important.

from the Essex County Fair, which in those days was held in mid-July. Somewhere in between exits 31 and 32, the driver fell asleep and the car veered off into the median. I, seated on the lap of the front passenger, watched as the car did a hairpin turn and rolled down the steep embankment, glass shattering the whole way. It’s an image I doubt I'll ever forget. Cell phones were barely in existence back then, but, just as is the case today, those passing by were willing to lend a hand, and it wasn't long before an ambulance was on the scene. Those of us who were injured were able to get treatment and all made a full recovery. Still, in most highway accidents, every second
counts, and a 911 call from a cell phone could be the difference between life and death. Cell phone coverage is a necessity, not just along the Northway, but throughout the Adirondacks. Even though the gaps are closing slowly, it’s just that; too slow. The attempt to preserve “aesthetics” should not hinder the immediate and long-term need for quality communication.

ast week I reported on a one-car accident along Interstate 87 that devastated an extended family on vacation from Brooklyn. While it's never pleasant to hear of such tragedies, it's nice to think that all but one of the passengers in the van escaped with their lives. Two of the women in the vehicle were hospitalized in Burlington with critical injuries. While further details about the extent of their injuries or their current status have not been released, I can only assume that they are still alive thanks to the quick response of emergency personnel, and in turn, the ability of those first on the scene to call 911. The story brought back a few memories for me. Just over 22 years ago, I was riding in a car with my family northbound on I-87. We were on our way back

Aug. 23, 1929 - Sept. 8, 2009 WILLSBORO — Benjamin Joseph Christian Sr., 80, of Willsboro, NY passed away peacefully with his children by his side on 9/8/09. He was born in Lewis, NY 8/23/29 the son of Edward and Stella (VanKorb) Christian. Ben worked for Church Oil Co. for 35 years. He was a member of the Essex Fire Department and a Director of the Essex County Fair. “Pop” was devoted to his family especially his 3 grandsons whom he loved dearly. He is survived by his wife Sandra whom he married on New Years Eve, 1965. Also surviving are 3 children, Scott, Debbie and Benjamin Christian, 3 grandchildren, Benjamin III, Reggie and Jon-Morgan Christian, a brother Daniel Christian of Elizabethtown, 2 sisters Noda Howard of Essex, Cordelia Gangone of Elizabethtown and several nieces and nephews.

dan@denpubs.com OGDENSBURG — “No pay, but the benefits are out of this world.” Those were the words of the Rev. Terry LaValley, presider and Diocesan administrator at the beginning of his homily, as the Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg commissioned 65 parishioners as pastoral ministers in a Eucharistic Celebration Mass held at St. Mary’s Cathedral Sept. 12. Formation for Ministry courses were held the last two years at two regional sites: St. Phillip Neri Church in Westport and Church of the Visitation in Norfolk. Candidates attended courses in eight-week segments, once per week. The required courses included the Old Testament, New Testament, Church, Spirituality, Christology, the Sacraments, Moral Theology and Social Justice. “There is an academic component and pastoral training through workshops for mentoring and spiritual formation,” said Heidi Macko, who directs the program. “Our goal is to bring them into a deeper relationship with Christ and then to go out and minister to others. They’ll serve in a wide variety of capacities within their parishes.” The newly-commissioned ministers will assist their pastors in all phases of parish life. A minimum commitment of two years service is required, although most are already considered very active in their parishes and many will look to continue their formation training even further. With the average age of a priest in the Diocese now 60 years old, the church is faced with a dwindling number to serve 105 parishes and more than 100,000 Catholics in the North Country. The 14-year-old formation program has seen more than

The of land was donated by Jonathan Steele, and by 1834, the original church building was completed at the same site as the present church. The church was rebuilt in the 1870s, reopening with a special ceremony at which the famous preacher and abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher presided. Reportedly, the people of Lewis raised approximately $2,650 in a single year to pay for the new building in full. In 2005, when the town celebrated its bicentennial, the church was added to the National Historic Registry. Blades said the building is the oldest in the town and is a keystone in the community. “It’s been here for years,” he said, noting the church has long struggled with low membership and limited finances. “It’s had its ups and downs, but it’s held steadfast.” “The church is there to be used by anyone who wants to use it, whether it’s for a wedding, a funeral, or a meeting space,” Blades added. “It’s an old church, and we’re trying to do everything we can to keep the doors open,” said Jean Dickerson, town historian and another trustee of the church. While church members have been able to raise some money towards their bicentennial fund, Dickerson said they still have a long way to go to defray the cost of renovations. A series of fundraisers is planned, including a prime rib dinner on Oct. 10. The formal dinner includes, prime rib, baked potato, carrots, salad, rolls, drink and an Adirondack Sundae for dessert. Beginning at 5 p.m., patrons will be served in two seatings based on advance ticket sales. Take outs will be available between 4-5 p.m. Cost of tickets will be $12.95 for adults and $7 for children younger than 12.
ACAP hosting ‘Good Nutrition’ seminar ELIZABETHTOWN — Adirondack Community Action Programs will be offering a free video conference training for all child care providers titled “Good Nutrition.” During this training, learn the principles of good nutrition by revisiting some long held beliefs about healthy food choices for young children. This event will be held Thursday, Sept. 24, at 6:45 p.m. at ACAP office, 7572 Court St. For more information call Martha Santana at 873-3207 or e-mail msantana@acapinc.org.
balance between the two is crucial.” Other supervisors praised the assessment project, saying it points out valuable information that should be brought to the forefront. “The one number that is really astounding is that 30 percent of the population is in a government job,” said Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava. “How do we get the state legislature to sit down and look at this report and see that the Adirondack Park is different than the rest of the state?” Martin said Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward had organized a delegation of 25 state legislators to view his presentation in May. “I think that's an encouraging start,” Martin said, noting that the challenge will come in getting representatives to focus on a region with only 130,000 people. Essex Supervisor Ron Jackson said the state should focus on maintaining a “critical mass” of people in the region. “Are you going to want to be up on the mountain if there's nobody to come get you if you have a heart attack?” he asked. “It benefits the state to have people up here.” Carol Calabrese, co-director of the Essex County Industrial Development Agency, said enough has been done to ensure environmental conservation within the park, and that government should now shift its focus. “In my opinion, we need that same commitment at the state and federal levels to preserve the socio-economic sustainability of the Adirondack Park,” she said.

Town primaries favor incumbents Ware defeats Dunning in Westport By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — In local town Republican primaries, those holding office were able to defeat their challengers and voters chose their candidate to run for the office of Westport supervisor. Bruce Ware, a real estate broker in Westport, defeated retired State Police Captain Bruce Dunning in the primary for Westport town supervisor, winning 137 to 112. Ware said he will now turn his focus to hitting the pavement as he challenges incumbent Democrat Daniel Connell in the Nov. 3 general election. “The work is now really beginning,” he said, “because we’ve got to get out and talk to the people. I want to hear their ideas and their input.” Ware noted a lackluster showing by Republican voters in Westport. Out of 499 registered Republicans in the town, only 249
came out to the polls Sept. 15. “We’ve got to get people engaged in the system again,” he said. In Willsboro, incumbent Lori LincolnSpooner turned back a challenge from her predecessor, Robert Ashline. Votes went 183 to 130 in Spooner ’s favor. Spooner said she was pleased with the result, and plans to stay the course as she faces Ashline, who is also running as an independent, Nov. 3. “I’m going to keep doing my job and hope for a favorable general election,” she said, “so we can continue with the work we’ve been doing here the past two years.” Both Ware and Spooner thanked their supporters, particularly those in the Republican Party who bolstered them through the primary.

Cell phone carriers wary of APA rules
VALLEY NEWS - 11
Craftworkers needed for festival
Faced with dozens of cell tower permit applications — including one for a tower in Pottersville — the APA is searching for methods of reducing the impact the towers have on the aesthetic character of the park by influencing companies to co-locate cellular transmitters at common sites. This month alone, the agency is considering two permits for towers in North Hudson that would be less than 2,000 feet apart. But according to Bob Holliday of AT&T, there are technical differences between the companies’ services that make this impossible. “There are three types of cellular service; GSM, PCS and idem,” Holliday said. “Putting the three together just isn’t feasible.” Fassett added that due to the APA’s height restrictions that limit cell towers from rising substantially above the surrounding treetops in the park, even if multiple carriers of the same type were added, only the one at the very top of the tower would be effective. “We are limited to being just above the tree tops,” Fassett said. “The carriers locating transmitters under it would get very little out of being there.”
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. at the museum grounds of the Adirondack History Center. Join performers Adirondack storyteller Bill Smith, singer/songwriter and storyteller Christopher Shaw, Smokey Bear and Ranger Sarah, and the Northern Forest Center Mobile Museum “Way of the Woods” people and The Land of the Northern Forest Traveling Exhibit. Returning again will be Beth Bidwell’s interactive presentation of “Adirondack Wild Things” — with live hawks, owls, reptiles and amphibians of the Adirondacks. Plus, special children’s activities, contests, a variety of food vendors, The Adirondack Farmers’ Market, local crafts, demonstrations, guide boat making, Pack Basket making, Adirondack Furniture, Decoy Making, Blacksmithing, contests and much more. The Arts Council 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 Caroline Thompson at info@artsnorth.org, or call ACNA at 962-8778. Application deadline is Monday, Sept. 14. Spaces will be assigned in order in which reservations are received. If interested in volunteering for a two to three hour period during the day of the festival, for free admission, call 962-8778.

Flaming Leaves benefit Sept. 26
Daniel McConvey graduates from SUNY Geneseo
By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — Representatives from four prominent cell phone carriers told the Adirondack Park Agency Board of Commissioners Sept. 9 that locating competing companies’ cell transmitters on a single tower is problematic and that the agency’s tower policy is hindering further cell service expansion in the Park. Representatives from Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint/Nextel told APA commissioners that placing multiple carriers on a single tower isn’t feasible for technical reasons and may be violate Federal Communications Commission collusion laws. Gene Fassett, director of operations for Verizon in upstate New York, said that APA rules hindered cell expansion. “The Adirondacks are a big area with the least amount of service in the state,” Fassett said. “Wireless is a line-of-sight technology and the height restrictions here severely limit the number of potential sites and greatly increase the cost of constructing a new tower.”

Sprague From page 1 into account in the general election,” she said. “I think people will recognize that experience and how what I’ve done in the neighboring county can be done here.” Sprague said she expects another victory in November, especially since she has secured the Republican, Conservative,
and Independent party lines. Still, she’s not planning on slowing down her efforts. “I plan on hitting every town in Essex County going door to door,” said Sprague. “Now is the time we need to get behind each other, and I look forward to November 3.” Garcia said she was surprised by the small voter turnout. When she ran in 2005, more than 6,000 people turned out for the primary, compared to around 4,400 this year. “I’m hoping that people stayed home because they are satisfied with the job we are doing,” Garcia said. “We have bipartisan support and a few weeks to straighten out the misrepresentations being made by my opponent’s campaign.” Garcia said she doesn’t plan to change her campaign strategy. “I’m running on my record,” she said.

In the supervisor ’s chambers following the balloting, Hommes said his chances in the general election should be favorable, despite the close result in the primary. “Obviously, Mr. Tyler worked very hard,” he said. “I know there’s been a lot of strife and turmoil within the party, and hopefully we can overcome that.” Hommes agreed that the contentious district attorney race may have played a role in the sheriff primary. “It’s very possible,” he said. “I think if you ride around the county, you’ll see a lot of Garcia and Tyler signs together and Sprague and Hommes signs together.” Tyler said he feels confident moving on to the general election, given the number of voters who supported him in the primary. “I’m motivated,” Tyler said. “To only lose by 190 votes I think is fantastic against a 12-year incumbent with Republican Party backing.” Tyler said he plans to continue door-to-door campaigning until the general election in November, talking to the voters of Essex County about the experience he can bring to the position of County Sheriff. “I’ve knocked on the door of over 1,500 houses, and Essex County is the second largest county in the state. If I haven’t spoken to someone, it wasn’t by lack of trying.” Essex County Republican Committee chair Ronald Jackson said all four candidates in both races worked very hard, and that the voter turnout was encouraging. “As a Sprague and Hommes supporter, I’m obviously very pleased,” he said, and predicted further success for both candidates in the general election. “I think there’s enough Republicans who will stay with Julie to make it a close race in November,” said Jackson, stressing that Sprague is still more likely to win. Results are unofficial as there were still absentee ballots to be counted at the time of this report. The Essex County Board of Elections reported 363 absentee ballots sent out and 252 returned before deadline.

United Way sets fundraising sights on $700,000 Pacesetters put organization at 21.6 percent of its goal By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com WEST PLATTSBURGH — And, they’re off. The United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. officially marked the beginning of their 2009-10 fundraising efforts with their annual fundraising campaign kick-off breakfast at American Legion Post 1619 Sept. 10. The event included the announcement this year ’s campaign team will again seek to raise $700,000 to benefit the 33 partner agencies of the local United Way. John C. Bernardi, the nonprofit organization’s executive director, announced “pacesetters” — businesses and individuals who begin early fundraising efforts — have so far raised $151,426.62, bringing the campaign to 21.6 percent of its overall goal. Bernardi credited the success of the campaign’s start to the “good cross-section” of those in the community who continue to lend a hand to the United Way. “We’re well-represented and it’s just a tremendous asset, I think, to be so strongly supported by such a wide range of groups and individuals,” said Bernardi. “We’re truly blessed in this region in many ways. Mainly because people get involved and they’re compassionate and they’re caring towards their friends and their neighbors. It really shows.” Though Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, which has facilities in Rouses Point and Chazy, has traditionally made a contribution toward the local United Way campaign, this year ’s donation was in question, said Bernardi. With the sale of the Wyeth corporation to pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. announced earlier this year and transition of the Rouses Point facility to Akrimax Pharmaceutical currently under way, there was concern whether or not Wyeth would be able to continue to give, Bernardi said. “I’ve been a little worried about it,” admitted Bernardi. “And, it went from bleak to promising to bleak to promising to delightful, thankfully.” In the days leading up to the campaign kick-off breakfast, Bernardi learned Wyeth would indeed make a corporate donation of $32,521, and the employees of both the Rouses Point and Chazy facilities will again conduct employee fundraising campaigns. Though there was no novelty check presentation from Wyeth as in years passed, company representative Tammy Lashway was in attendance for the breakfast, stand-

ing as Bernardi recognized Wyeth for the contribution. Lashway later said the donation was part of Wyeth’s continued commitment to the North Country. “I think it’s very important,” she said of the donation. “We need to support our community.” Champlain National Bank also surprised Bernardi and the fundraising team this year, again nearly doubling their amount raised. The bank’s employees raised $2,000 in the 2006-07 campaign year, doubling that amount the following year and doubling that amount the year after. Given the state of the national economic climate and that Champlain National Bank had a recent reduction in its number of employees, Bernardi said he didn’t expect the business to be able to raise as much as in previous years. But, they did.
“We just figured they were maxed out. I mean, you can’t double it every year. It’s not realistic,” said Bernardi. Gail Bridge, human resources director for Champlain National Bank, said bank president Jon Cooper challenged his employees to do just that, and they came close. “We showed him what his team can do. We raised $15,000,” said Bridge. More big news came from Nine Platt Hospitality Group, which raised $10,121, which was the largest amount from the local business in the past seven years. Other pacesetter contributions include Abbott, Frenyea, Russell & Coffey, $1,899;
United Way of Clinton & Essex Counties Inc.
Agency Insurance, $1,855; Alan B. & Jennifer Booth, $3,500; Child Care Coordinating Council of the North Country, $2,792; Donlan and Barcomb Investment Services, $1,000; Eye Care for the Adirondacks, $10,007.10; FirstView Eye Care, $1,000; Landrock E & S Consulting, $1,000; Mountain Lake PBS, $378; Murnane Building Contractors, $2,000; Niles, Piller & Bracy, Attorneys at Law, $750; Northern Insuring Agency, $9,000.08; and Stewart’s Shops, $1,800. The Child Care Coordinating Council of the North Country and Northern Insuring Agency were also recognized for having 100 employee participation. Partial contributions to date include Denton Publications, $5,200; ETS, $1,040; Georgia Pacific, $8,253; Plattsburgh City School District, $4,210; TD BankNorth, $3,600; The Northeast Group, $1,500; and UPS - SCS, $6,890. Additional contributions from individuals and other miscellaneous organizations total $26,110.44. The amount raised thus far is encouraging, said Jamie L. Basiliere, executive director of the Child Care Coordinating Council of the North Country, who serves as chairperson of this year ’s United Way fundraising campaign team. “I believe that we will exceed the goal,” said Basiliere, who is serving the campaign team for her 11th year. “I believe for those people who are employed, who have a campaign within their organization or within their business, that they will give because of the economy, not in spite of it.” Though pacesetters are an important part of getting the campaign moving, said Bernardi, every donation is just as important as the last, he noted. “Every penny is important,” said Bernardi, “whether it comes in today or whether it comes in in December.” Those wishing to make contributions toward the local United Way campaign may send donations in care of United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties to 45 Tom Miller Road, Plattsburgh N.Y. 12901. Donations may also be arranged through a payroll deduction, which may be arranged through one’s employer.

LEWIS — It took two extra periods, but the Elizabethtown-Lewis girls started their season off right with a victory over Indian Lake/Long Lake Sept. 9. Freshman midfielder Emily Morris notched the go-ahead goal at 6:41 in the second overtime, the game’s only goal in a highly defensive contest. Rebecca Pellerin was in the box when she found Morris trailing behind. Morris then hooked one from beyond 18 that sailed just inside the left goalpost. Indian Lake/Long Lake nearly tied minutes later with a direct kick from 20 yards out Morris’s goal was the last of just five shots on goal the Lions mustered through the match. The Orange finished with 11, but ELCS goalkeeper Chelsea Provost had 11 saves for the shutout. “I knew our chances were going to be limited,” said Lions coach Steve Denton, “but we capitalized when we had to.” Denton said his team played very well, even though for many of them it was their first varsity experience. “This is a good confidence builder for them,” he added. Kylie Cassavaugh and Claire Harwood, both freshmen, led a strong defensive showing by Elizabethtown. “They did an awesome job,” said Denton, “and I think that’s what saved us.”

Cody Whitney scored midway through the first half off an assist from Luke Andrews and Jeff Bruha added the insurance goal seven minutes later. Will Glebus scored the Panthers’ only goal with just under six minutes left in the second half. James Bell had 11 saves in the win for Keene.
Elizabethtown-Lewis 2, Willsboro 2 WILLSBORO — The Warriors managed to keep pace with Elizabethtown-Lewis on their home field, settling for a 2-2 tie in MVAC boys soccer Sept. 10. The Lions took a 1-0 lead into the second half thanks to a penalty kick goal from Tanner Cassavaugh. Alex Hamel answered for Willsboro midway through the second half, however, off an assist from Clay Sherman. Hunter Mowery put ELCS ahead 2-1 at the 28 minute mark, but the Warriors’ Dakota Sayward put in the equalizer just five minutes later. Neither team managed to score in the two overtime periods.
Chazy 2, Keene 0 CHAZY — The Eagles kept the pressure on and shutout Keene in MVAC boys soccer Sept. 14. Tyler Bulriss was the lone goal scorer, first off an assist from Shea Howley in the first half, then another in the second half assisted by Kaleb Snide. James Bell had 14 saves for the Beavers, who were only able to muster one shot on goal against Chazy.

The Child and Nature Network
I
’ve recently returned from the National Grassroots Gathering hosted by the Child and Nature Network in Keystone, Colo. The National Grassroots Gathering brought together leaders from across the country to build a connection between children and nature. Under the heading of Making Connections, participants offered suggestions on advancing efforts to reconnect children and nature through research, policy makers, community, media, social networks and the medical profession. The Child and Nature Network is working to build a movement that will bring cultural change and restore the connection between children and the outdoors. The setting for the conference, which was located in the ski town of Keystone, Colo. was spectacular and the problems facing the small, resort community were significant. It was easy to draw parallels from west to east, as many of the state’s seasonal, resort communities are currently facing dilemmas similar to our own. Residents spoke of concerns with issues of affordable housing, transportation woes and inconsistencies of seasonal employment. Many locals voiced sentiments that revolved around the same “locals versus outsiders” debate that continues to plague many resort communities. It is a common refrain, whether voiced from a coastal community in Maine, a mountain town in the Adirondacks or a high desert resort in Arizona. The common thread that binds many of these small, communities is a seasonal influx of visitors and the ongoing struggle to retain the character and charm of their community in the face of development pressures and the difficulties of earning a living in a seasonal economy. Residents of these communities often express a desire to retain the charm and character of their small towns, yet they recognize the need for economic development. They often share the same dilemma: “At what point does the continued development of tourist infrastructure overshadow a sense of community?” It is a question that is currently being asked from Tupper Lake to North Creek to Lake Placid and in many places beyond. In Keystone, as in the nearby ski resort towns of Vail, Aspen and Breckenridge, workers are now forced to commute an hour or more to the communities where they work, due to a lack of affordable, local housing. Similar problems are apparent in places such as Sedona, Jackson Hole, Cape Cod or Lake Placid, where seasonal employment and soaring housing prices offer a conundrum of contradictions that plague both residents and visitors alike. There are no easy answers to such situations, however with the continued dialogue and efforts of organizations such as the Adirondack Common Ground Alliance; there is an opportunity for creative solutions, dialogue and the advancement of community ideals.
ing their entire life. They grow up with no exposure to the mountains or snowsports in a state that is defined worldwide for its mountains and snowsports. Despite living in close proximity to the natural wonders of the west, or the east, many children simply do not have a means to access the bounty of their local environment. Without the tools (canoes, bikes, skis, etc.) and the knowledge and companionship of an appropriate mentor, most children will never enjoy the wealth of natural wonders that attract visitor to their special part of the world. They will remain strangers in their own land, watching others enjoy what they can not. Their resentment is understandable. It is easy to draw comparisons to similar opportunities for children in New York and Vermont, or Utah and Wyoming. The fact remains, if the parents do not participate in skiing, boating, hunting or hiking, it is highly unlikely that the child will engage in such activities. It was obvious that such trends are nationwide when O’Brien detailed Colorado’s efforts to introduce their youth into the traditional sporting pursuits of hunting and fishing. With the combination of hunting and fishing license sales, the average age of Colorado’s sportsman now stands at 47. This average is not far removed from the age of sportsmen in New York, which is currently 46 years. Hopefully, with the enactment of legislation to permit youth to participate in the Big Game Hunting season at age 14, the average age of New York sportsman will soon diminish. But, it will only happen if the sportsmen and women who are currently participating in the hunt make a concerted effort to bring youngsters into the fold. The International Take A Child Outside week is coming up from Sept. 24-30. Whether for a hike, bike or hunt, do your part and take a kid outside!

RECORD TROUT CAUGHT
Colorado kids are no different than New York’s Colorado, a state renowned for offering a wealth of mountain recreation and snowsports opportunities, is experiencing the same struggles as New York when it comes to traditional sporting endeavors and the need to get the next generation involved. At the Child and Nature conference, Lt. Gov. Barbara O’Brien addressed the assembly to tout a recently enacted, Colorado Kids’ Outdoor Bill of Rights. The legislation will ensure that Colorado’s children will have access to and an appreciation of the value of the natural world and mountain recreation. O’Brien explained that the Colorado Ski Country’s Fifth Grade Passport Program will continue to provide every fifth grader in the state with a season’s pass that can be used at any of the state’s 26 ski areas. The passport program was developed by the skiing industry after studies revealed that if a child does not participate in skiing by the time they reach 5th grade, they likely never will. However, despite this highly touted, youth outreach effort, statistics show that a vast majority of the state’s 1.26 million children never take advantage of the program because they are reared in families with no affinity or involvement in the natural world. According to studies, it is estimated that 90-95 percent of Colorado kids have no available transportation, no lesson availability, no access to equipment or any on the mountain meal system. While there may be no lack of interest in snowsports, the majority of the state’s children just have no way of getting to and on the mountain. In similar fashion, the Denver Public School system’s Balarat Outdoor Education Center provides overnight introductory outdoor education experiences for over 10,000 Denver kids annually, yet studies have revealed that 95 percent of these same kids never get to the mountains dur-
Two world record freshwater trout records were shattered earlier this month. The first came on Sept. 5 when Canadian angler Sean Coonrad landed a 48-pound rainbow from Saskatchewan's Lake Diefenbaker (pictured above). Four days later, Tom Healy, a retired construction manager broke the IGFA all-tackle world brown trout record with a 41pound, 7-ounce monster on Michigan's Manistee River (pictured below).
Renowned deer expert Charles Alsheimer is predicting that the Adirondack deer breeding season will be early this year.
The magic 10 days
A
ccording to one of the country’s most renowned authorities on deer behavior, whitetails will be looking for love a little earlier this fall. Charles Alsheimer, who is in the 13th year of a 15year study with Vermont Department of Wildlife Commissioner Wayne Laroche, is predicting the rut to reach peak activity about 10 days earlier than last year. Alsheimer puts that time frame between Nov. 4-13 this season, based on when the “rutting moon” is full. Last season, he pegged the height of the rut at between Nov. 15-24. A long-time field editor of Deer & Deer Hunting magazine with more than 50 years of experience studying and photographing whitetail behavior, Alsheimer is considered a leading authority on the whitetail deer. His research both with Laroche and on his own deer farm in upstate New York has shaped the debate over the moon’s impact on when deer breed. The science, according to Alsheimer, is rather straightforward. A doe’s estrus clock is reset each fall first by the specific amount of daylight and then by moonlight, which provides a light stimulus to the pineal gland. That moonlight comes with the second full moon following the autumn equinox which this year is Sept. 22. That moon, known as the rutting moon, occurs this year on Nov. 2. Last year, it was on Nov. 13. The dramatic decrease of lunar brightness following the full moon — known as the moon’s third quarter — is what triggers hormonal production by the pineal gland, leading to ovulation and estrus. Long story short — the second full moon after the autumnal equinox is the mechanism that triggers the rut. Alzheimer then breaks the rut down into three phases: seeking, chasing and breeding. During the seeking phase, bucks are more active during daylight as they look for groups of does and possibly catch one in estrus. It will begin this year two to three days before the Nov. 2 full moon. The chasing phase is aptly named because bucks are doing just that — chasing every doe they encounter. Alsheimer says this phase should be quite noticeable by Nov. 6 and hit its peak around Nov. 11. The final phase, known as the breeding phase, is marked by less deer activity and less all-out chasing. That’s because deer activity during the rut is dictated by the doe, which typically move very little at this time. This phase will occur between Nov. 8-22. So, how does all this factor into when you should schedule your hunting vacation? Alsheimer answered that question in the September issue of Deer & Deer Hunting. “For those who only have one week of vacation to hunt, you’ll be happy to know there’s a sweet spot in the rut, a magic week to 10 days when deer activity is greatest,” Alsheimer said. It is a time when buck activity will be at its peak, with deer rubbing, scraping, fighting, cruising their territory and chasing every doe they see. In 2009, that magic 10 days will be Nov. 4-13, Alzheimer said. Next week, I’ll discuss how certain techniques and calls can help spell success during the three phases of the Adirondack rut.
