E-town Don’t miss Field, Forest and Stream festival board passes OWB law By Matt Bosley
matt@denpubs.com
By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — After a year-long effort, the Elizabethtown Town Board has agreed on a new local law that will ban any future outdoor wood boilers within the zoned hamlet. Only three residents spoke at a brief public hearing Sept. 16, two of them in favor of a law that would allow only existing outdoor furnaces to remain with strict regulations. “I believe, with the time we’ve taken, we’ve come up with a document that we’ll be proud of for years to come,” said town supervisor Noel Merrihew. The law would allow existing boilers to operate between Sept. 15 and May 1, provided they burn only clean, dry firewood, and are “utilized in a manner that does not create a nuisance and which is not detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the zoning regulated area.” The proposed law was the third version brought before a public hearing. Other versions had been met with more opposition, either for being too lax or for not allowing existing boilers to remain. Elizabethtown resident Mal Hackett, whose house neighbors one of the four existing OWBs in the hamlet, complained that the law would not provide adequate enforcement to protect his home from woodsmoke as it contains no provisions for minimum smokestack height. Merrihew disagreed, saying nuisances would be dealt with by the code enforcement officer. “I think the board feels confident in the simplicity of the language and how it lends itself to proper enforcement,” said

ELIZABETHTOWN — History and culture abound in Elizabethtown as the 21st annual Field, Forest and Stream Day kicks off Saturday, Sept. 26, sponsored by the Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks. This family event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Adirondack History Center Museum and celebrates historic traditions of the harvest, hunt, and other mainstays of the Adirondack lifestyle. More than 1400 people attended the event last year, showing great support for artists who attended. Join Adirondack Storyteller Bill Smith, Singer/Songwriter and Story Teller Christopher Shaw, World class piper Michael Clooney, and the Akwesasne Women Singers, for a nostalgic look at the music and culture of the Adirondacks. Stephen Gratto will make an appearance this year with a special children’s show of juggling and more.

Opens seat for threeway race By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WASHINGTON — Long-time North Country Congressman John McHugh is now officially the United States’ Secretary of the Army. McHugh was announced as President Barack Obama’s choice for the cabinet position June 2. Since then, potential candidates have been lining up to make a run for his vacant Congressional seat, but have been waiting for the Senate to formally confirm him. Since 1993, McHugh has represented New York’s 23rd Congressional District, which spans 11 counties across the northern tier of the state, including Franklin, Clinton, and most of Essex County.
Elected to his ninth term in 2008, he was ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee. As Army Secretary, McHugh will be responsible for the management of a more than $200 billion budget, more than a million troops, and 14 million acres of land. McHugh’s appointment had been approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee in early August, and was subsequently introduced for Senate approval, but the decision was blocked by Senators Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, and Sam Brownback, R-Kansas. The two reportedly put a hold on the confirmation of McHugh and several other presidential appointments in order to protest a supposed White House plan to move Guantanamo Bay detainees to Fort Leavenworth, a military base in Kansas. Roberts and Brownback agreed to let the confirmation go forward,

however, after discussions with senior White House officials. “In a good faith effort to continue moving this dialogue forward, we are releasing our holds on all Department of Defense and Department of Justice nominees,” the Kansas Senators wrote in a joint press release. “We are confident that because of this good faith dialogue, detainees will not be transferred to Fort Leavenworth.” His appointment was unanimously confirmed in the Senate the evening of Sept. 16. On Sept. 21, he resigned from Congress and was officially sworn in as Army Secretary after final approval from the President. With the seat now officially vacant, Gov.David Paterson is soon expected to announce a special election to fill out the remainder of McHugh’s term. Many anticipate the date will be set as Nov. 3, the same as the general election for lo-

Heaviest taxes shouldered by Adirondackers, study reveals By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Despite living in some of New York’s poorest municipalities, many Adirondack residents are subject to some of the highest tax rates per capita in the state. According to data compiled by the state Comptroller and analyzed by the government watchdog group the Empire Center for New York State Policy, towns and counties in the Park top the tax burden list, while offering some of the fewest social services. In 2007, the Hamilton County tax burden was $1,606 per resident — the most expensive in the state. Warren County ranked third statewide at $1,255 per resident and Essex County ranks ninth at $1,065. The out-of-park counties of Saratoga, Wyoming and Orleans have the smallest tax burdens per resident. At the town level, the Essex County community of Newcomb has the largest tax burden statewide at $6,293 per resident. Hamilton County is well represented in the top 10 most burdensome places with Arietta ranking second, Inlet third, Long Lake fifth, Lake Pleasant 10th and Indian Lake 11th. A total of 908 towns are represented in the study. In contrast, Hamilton County ranked 53rd in per capita spending for social services, while Essex ranks 47th. Essex County also ranks seventh in per capita spending on employee benefits at $349. Hamilton is number three and Lewis County tops the list at $808 per resident. According to LA Group Planner Jim Martin, who has for years scrutinized statistics on the Adirondacks, most non-park municipalities are comprised of roughly 30 percent industrial or commercial property. But in the
Adirondack Park, the total amount of commercial or industrial property drops to a paltry 0.3 percent. And this is at the core of the cash shortage to shoulder taxes in municipalities inside the park borders. “The regular taxpayer puts in $1 and takes out $1.30 in services,” Martin said. “A company puts in $1 and takes out .35 cents.” New York regularly tops the list of most highly taxed states, making Adirondack residents some of the most taxed in the nation. Meanwhile, the average Adirondack household brings in a median income of roughly $43,000 annually, $8,000 below the statewide average.

Flu clinics upcoming
Champlain Valley Search and Rescue K9 Unit raising money for their beloved injured canine
ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Public Health Department has announced the dates for its 2009 Flu Clinics. Getting an annual seasonal flu vaccine is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as the first step in fighting the flu. The seasonal flu vaccine is developed annually based on research that suggests which three viruses will be the most common in the current year. Seasonal flu vaccination is recommended for anyone who wants to reduce the likelihood of becoming ill with influenza or spreading influenza to others. It is especially important for those at higher risk of serious flu complications such as young children, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions and people 65 years and older. Vaccines are $20 for adults, age 19 and older. Children ages six months to 18 years pay no fee. Pneumonia vaccines will also be available for $42. All clinics are from 3-7 p.m. The dates are: • Monday, Sept. 28, Jay Town Hall • Tuesday, Sept. 29, Lake Placid Town Hall • Wednesday, Sept. 30, Schroon Lake Fire House • Thursday, Oct. 1, Moriah Fire House • Monday, Oct. 5, Willsboro Town Hall • Tuesday, Oct. 6, Moses-Ludington Hosp., Ticonderoga • Thursday, Oct. 8, Public Health Dept., Elizabethtown The Seasonal Flu Vaccine will not provide protection against the 2009 H1N1 Flu. There will be a separate vaccine for the 2009 H1N1 Flu. The 2009 H1N1 Flu vaccine clinic information will be coming soon. For more information about seasonal flu and 2009 H1N1 Flu visit Essex County Public Health Department at www.co.essex.ny.us/PublicHealth and click on the Flu Central button or call 873-3500.
By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — Oakland is a search dog who spends his days training to save the lives of others. Now, he’s the one who needs saving. The 2-year-old German Shepherd is part of the Champlain Valley Search and Rescue K9 Unit, an independent, nonprofit organization based in Keeseville. Recently, Oakland was performing advanced obstacle training when he fell and severely tore his Achilles tendon, said Shannon Bresett, a dog handler and co-founder of the search and rescue unit. Bresett and her husband, Christopher, a fellow dog handler and co-founder of the unit, were in the Adirondack Mountains with Oakland and other dogs from the unit on a routine training exercise when the injury occurred, she explained. “We noticed he had a slight limp, but we didn’t think much of it because that happens from “Maybe I’m biased, but I time to time on exerthink it’s an important cises,” she said. “Then, we noticed he cause. I’ve just seen the would not put any difference that having pressure on his leg dogs on searches makes.” whatsoever.” Bresett and her husband took OakShannon Bresett land to a veterinarian further examinaK9 Unit Co-founder for tion where it was found Oakland had a severe tear in his Achilles tendon. “It’s not completely severed, because if it were, he’d have no control over it,” said Bresett. “He can keep it upright, but it’s hanging on by a thread.” Though Oakland hasn’t shown signs of being in pain — as much as a dog can show, said Bresett — he will need surgery to correct his injury. Estimates received show the surgery will cost approximately $2,500, with necessary rehabilitation therapy bringing the expense to nearly $5,000. “I have no problem putting that much money into him,” said Bresett, “it’s just being a nonprofit, we run primarily on donations and mainly on funding through our own pockets.” While their main concern is for Oakland’s well-being, said Bresett, the search and rescue unit does depend on the service dogs like Oakland can provide. And, considering the unit of seven dogs and eight volunteers serves a 100-mile radius from the village of Keeseville — extending north to the Canadian border and south to Warren County and to points in between — Oakland’s surgery is crucial, she said. “It’s just amazing that one dog equals the efforts of about a hundred people,” said Bresett. “Even volunteer organizations like the fire departments realize that if you let the dogs go in first [in a search and rescue operation], you’re covering a lot more ground and the percentage to find the person

alive becomes greater.” “Maybe I’m biased, but I think it’s an important cause,” she added. “I’ve just seen the difference that having dogs on searches makes.” Every day Oakland’s tendon remains unrepaired, the more difficult his surgery will become, said Bresett. And, without the full use of his now injured leg, he will essentially become unable to serve the unit, for which he was just recently nationally-certified. “I think it’s important for people to realize that we’re a volunteer organization and though this is something that’s like a hobby for us, we take it very seriously,” Bresett emphasized. “We train these dogs at least four hours a day, plus work full-time jobs ... and we’re out there giving public presentations. Hopefully, we’re a service people will never have to utilize, but it’s good to know we’re there if they do.” Those wishing to make a contribution to the Champlain Valley Search and Rescue K9 Unit toward Oakland’s surgery may do so by sending tax-deductible donations in care of the organization to 27 Beach St., Keeseville N.Y. 12944.

all is starting to appear; you only have to take a look around you to see the beginnings of our beautiful autumn leaf magnificance! There's something wonderful about the crispness in the air, and the smell of leaf piles that will soon begin to appear. For me, Fall is also the time when I begin to appreciate snuggling up with my furry friends. If you don't have a "snuggle-buddy" of your own, you may want to think about finding a fur person to cuddle you through the upcoming winter months. This week's featured pet is Nyca, known at the shelter as a "big teddy bear." She is undeniably affectionate, adores petting, and loves to have her ears scratched. She doesn't have any preferences for what kind of person she prefers - she will gladly wag her tail for anyone who gives her attention. She's a sweet and sassy girl who knows she is a real "hot dog." Nyca would be a great addition to your household and will give you affection and loyalty in return for a happy home. If you come to see Nyca, you may also want to stop by some of our long-time residents at the NCSPCA. These pooches are anxious to have their own homes and have a great deal to offer. They're hoping that someone will notice them soon and give
Nyca them a chance! Princess, a Staffordshire Terrier, was brought to the shelter as part of an animal abuse/neglect case over a year ago. Virgil is a crusty old beagle mix who is hoping to find a place to retire. Indigo is a hound-mix who loves to play with toys. She is a little anxious of strangers but once she knows you, she will be your friend for life. If you are interested in possibly adopting one of these dogs, but aren't sure if you feel your home will be a match, talk to the shelter staff about fostering these or other dogs who need some TLC - you will be glad you did!
Colin Wells • WestportNYNews@gmail.com eaves are starting to turn, days and especially nights are getting cooler—what we in the North Country call "good sleeping weather"—and the hectic pace of summer life is easing a bit. School's open. Summer people have drifted back to the city, bless 'em. Sunrise and sunset are starting to squeeze together a little, but the days are still good and long. Grass has slowed down. Bugs are thinning out a bit. Every season has its glories, but I have to say that the pleasures of early fall are right up there at the top of my list. The woods, of course, beckon more seductively in their glorious fall colors, and without the constant need to swat flies and mosquitoes. You can still wear shorts during the day, and the evening comes when the first wood fire of the season sends its delicate, homey scent out on the crisp, dry air. And, not least for me this particular fall, the cooler weather means it's getting easier to do exercises wearing the turn-out gear and air-pack that I'm getting more and more used to as a firefighter-in-training. This is no small thing, since in October, the third and final month of Firefighter 1, we have two full Saturdays as well as the usual twice-a-week three-hour evening classes. One of them will be instruction in fire extinguishers, and the other will be a live burn at the Lake Placid Training Center, which has a special facility for simulating a structure fire. This is our final exercise,

and it offers an invaluable opportunity to experience the realities of heat, smoke, and flame in a controlled environment. So far, topics we've covered include firefighter safety and survival, fire behavior, building search, forcible entry, building construction, hose practice and water streams, and ropes and knots. This week it's ground ladders and ventilation, which means understanding how, why, and where to make openings to allow smoke and heat to escape the building. This is tricky, since it can save lives and ease working conditions but it also means letting oxygen get to the fire. Topics we'll be covering soon include salvage and overhaul (what happens after the fire is out), more hose skills, vehicle fires, sprinkler system fundamentals, and hazardous materials operations. I've been impressed by dedication of both the instructors and my fellow students. Most of the other trainees are young men in their early twenties or so, but there are also two young women, who outperformed us all on air consumption. In addition, there's a veteran who's taking the class as a refresher. His experience has added a valuable dimension. I've mentioned many times how much we need volunteers, both for the fire department and the ambulance squad. I've also described the wonderful support that I've received from those already serving. Something to consider, if you're thinking about joining.

he fall weather sure has set in quickly, we are still enjoying a few nice days, but when the sun goes down that heavier jacket sure feels good. Lori Lincoln-Spooner and I attended some of the Quadricentennial celebration down at the Crown Point campgrounds this past weekend. There were some impressive speakers and a lot of music. The U.S. Coast Guard Military Cadet Band was most impressive with their playing of music and the maneuvers while playing. Another highlight was for the visitors to climb to the top of the Memorial Lighthouse, both of us made it to the top, what a view from up top. The evening ended with fireworks over the lake. The Primary election brought out a goodly number; this was only to determine the Republican candidates that would represent the party. The winners were Lori Lincoln-Spooner, Ken Coonrod, Henry Hommes, and Kristy Sprague. Now it is up to the voters to make their choice in November. The Lobdell family welcomes Boomer Lobdell home on a R&R leave for a couple of weeks, they have enjoyed some family gatherings. When he returns to duty, he is looking forward to the Airborne Ranger training in the Spring. It was nice to see Janice Sayward and her daughter, Darla, in town recently, here to attend Morris White’s parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. The Estus family is happy to announce two new additions to their family, Tom Estus & Alicia Hopkins recently gave birth to a baby girl, Alivia Mary; Brian Es-
tus also became the father of a baby girl. On Sept. 30, the Catholic Community of St. Philip of Jesus and St. Joseph will sadly be saying goodbye to Father Scott Seymour and a joyfully welcome to Father Joseph Elliott as their new pastor. They are also proud to announce that Penny Martin and Susan Fahey from St. Philip’s were commissioned Lay Ministers in the Catholic Church on Saturday Sept. 12 at the St. Mary’s Cathedral in Ogdensburg by Rev. Terry LaValley, Diocesan Administrator. This program is a two year study that trains them in their faith and furthers their training in their ministry for the local parishes. Make note that the Willsboro Methodist Church Monthly supper will be on Sept. 30 and not the first Wed. in October, serving a Harvest style supper serving Ham, scalloped potatoes, baked beans and more. Another reminder that, on Sept. 28, there will be another public hearing on the ordnance being drafted on out door wood burning, this will be held at the Town Hall at 6 p.m. The Essex County Health Dept. has announced the Flu Clinic in Willsboro will be on Monday, Oct. 5 at the Town Hall between 3 and 7 p.m. Sad to report that a former Willsboro native, Elizabeth (Liz) (James) LaVarnway pass away this past week. Bill Marshall also passed away this past week. Sympathy is extended to both families.

ednesday is the birthday of Henry W. Putnam, a local working farmer who worked equipment, plowed, got dirty and helped other farmers less fortunate than him. He lived on Rt. 22 where Dale Bigelow now lives. Mr. Putnam is the richest man who ever lived, worked and earned his excessive wealth in Essex township. He was known for his honesty, integrity, and generousness. During his life, Mr. Putnam was considered one of the richest men in the United States. While it’s not necessarily a big deal for our area, no one has ever eclipsed his stature in our town. Next week I talk about the Essex man financing the Union. Now we all know that Gertrude Everly, a U.S. citizen, is generally credited with the honor of being the first woman to swim the English Channel. She went on to continue swimming a wide variety of point to point locations. One point to point swim she never was able to accomplish was the swim from the Essex Shoreline to Vermont.
“Sister” Mock of Essex who accomplished this task in the late forties was joined in the pantheon of swimmers last week by Deb Sue Miller who is the daughter of Dianne and David Lansing. Accompanying her during this feat was a flotilla of boats. Well, actually, the flotilla was her mother Dianne who paddled along side of Deb Sue in her canoe whilst singing “Row, Row, Your Boat.” Hats off to them both. I know Deb Sue didn’t swallow any Lake Champlain water cause she is still alive. Did 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? Maybe for an encore we might get her to sing “Putsy, Putsy, Who Wants a Barrel of Cement?” Finally, next week I will rant and rave about a letter from the RNC which has to be the most infantile, asinine, and intellectually insulting fund raising letter ever sent.

A Christmas miracle Lillian from Warrensburg wrote: When I was a little girl living in Weavertown in the 1930s, we had barely enough money for food. It was the height of the Great Depression and as winter approached we had no idea how we were going to heat our home for the winter. As Christmas neared, we were in a very bad way. My father had been seriously injured working in the woods and my mother had no choice but to tear boards off our chicken coop and the side of our home to burn in the woodstove for heat. A very proud man, my father was not one to ask for handouts, even though there was no way he could provide for me and my three younger brothers. Most days he could barely get out of bed. On Christmas Eve, my elderly next-door neighbor saw me sitting on our porch and asked me what I had asked for for Christmas. I told him all I wanted was for my family to be warm and have something to eat. He said he understood. He was in as bad shape as our family and said he hadn’t had a real meal in days. The next morning when I woke up it was Christmas. We had no presents. Didn't expect them like kids these days. But when I opened the front door to help Mom peel some
more boards for heat, I saw a strange sight in our front yard. To my disbelief, there stood a huge pile of split firewood. On the porch was a burlap sack containing a smoked ham. On it there was a note that read simply "To Lilli, from Santa." I could never prove it was the old man who did that amazing deed, but the boot tracks through the snow sure looked a lot like his.
A daughter’s selflessness Joe from Whitehall wrote: I have a heartwarming story of my own about something my 5-year-old daughter did this summer. I am in the National Guard and spent the last year in Iraq. When I returned I took my daughter to the Great Escape to enjoy a sun-filled day and then to Martha's Ice Cream as she had been bugging me all day to make a stop there. She ordered and after receiving a cone heavily laden with ice cream, spun and started walking to our car. Before she could take her first bite, however, she noticed a young soldier in BDU's (camouflage outfit called a Battle Dress Uniform) standing a few people back in line. She immediately marched straight to the young man and offered him her ice cream. “I'd like you to have this and thank you for helping keep my Daddy safe so he could come home to Mommy and me,” she said. I think we were both fighting back tears as my little girl spun and skipped away toward the car.
A guardian angel Kimberly from North Elba wrote: I was returning from college in an old Dodge Dart I had at the time and was traveling a very remote section of Route 8 in near blizzard conditions. Rounding a corner somewhere outside Speculator I lost
control and careened down a steep embankment. I was unhurt but the car was completely buried. I had to climb out a window just to get to the road as the doors were jammed shut by snow. I really wasn’t prepared for the elements and had only sneakers and a light coat on as I made my way along the highway toward a house not far away. As I approached, a dog barked fiercely from inside and the porch light snapped on. I was so scared I could barely move but I didn’t know what else to do. From inside, a man’s voice barked “who's there?” I yelled my name and told him my situation. After a long pause I heard the lock click on the door, but instead of opening it the man had locked it tight and I heard him say “get off my property.” I ran back to my car crying and scared. Inside, I locked the doors and covered up with everything I could find. I tried the engine several times until the battery died and then huddled in the dark for what seemed like hours until a light shone though the back window. “Everyone okay in there,” a voice said and I peeked my head out the window to see a rosy-cheeked gentleman with a flashlight. “No,” I said through tears. “I’m stuck and I’m freezing.” “Wait right there,” he said and in a moment I could hear a shovel clicking against the side of the car. Minutes later he helped me out the door and brought me to his plow truck that was idling nearby. He offered me hot coffee from a Thermos and pulled a heavy wool blanket from behind the seat, draping it over my shoulders. Then he put a heavy chain on my car and yanked it out of the snow and, with the help of jumper cables, got my car going. I was so grateful I gave him a big hug and offered him what little money I had. He said he had a daughter about my age and hoped that someone would help her out too if she was ever in a similar situation. I never got the man’s name, so I hope you will print this story in hopes that maybe he sees it and understands what a profound difference he made in my life on that snowy January night. He was my guardian angel. John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications. He can be reached via e-mail at johng@denpubs.com.

Bicycling increasing worldwide I
n 1964, just over 50 percent of American students rode a bike to school and the rate of obesity for children was 10 percent. In 2006, three percent of Americans students rode a bike to school and 35 percent were overweight. Currently, it is estimated that 62 percent of American adults are overweight or obese. Burgeoning American waistlines are a harbinger of a gathering national health storm, and the crisis around oil as our premier energy source is just now reaching critical mass. Even the most oblivious “ditto-head” cannot deny that we can no longer rely on oil as a long term energy source. Europe has been dealing with expensive gasoline for many years. Perhaps that is why bicycle use in much of Europe is at a much higher level than in the U.S. Many European cities have built many miles of bike paths to encourage bicycle use and it has worked. 40 percent of all traffic movement in Amsterdam, the Netherlands is by bicycle. While Amsterdam is not especially identified for having a warm and dry climate that would encourage biking, its citizens don’t seem to mind. In fact, most of the top bike friendly cities in the world are not warm climates. The top American city for bicycle use is rain-soaked Portland, Oregon. Portland’s bicycle culture is strong and growing. Since 1990 the number of bike paths has grown from 60 to 260 miles. Copenhagen, often called the city of bikes, has the most progressive city plan for increasing bicycle use. They have been successful in creating separate bike paths with their own signals making it the safest place in the world to bike. About 32 percent of the 1.8 million residents get around on a bicycle. As greater access to safe biking has been made available, more and more residents have taken up biking. Sandnes, Norway; Trondheim, Norway; Berlin, Germany; Barcelona, Spain and Basel, Switzerland are some of the most bike

friendly cities in the world. Some of the cities mentioned feature large urban populations and many have cold or otherwise inclement weather at least part of the year. All of the cities mentioned have political leadership that decided to create favorable conditions for increasing bike riding. The “build it and they will ride” line of reasoning has been By Scot Hurlburt employed by city planners. There are many innovations that allow riders of all ages to ride Bikes. In Trondheim, a bike trolley system pulls riders and their bikes up hills. This innovation encourages very young and very old riders to use their bikes. Portland has a bike token program where you can pick a bike up in one part of the city and leave at another destination. All bikes have a rain poncho, a helmet, a tool kit, air pump and a city map. Could all this bike riding contribute to overall health? There does seem to be some evidence that it does. The life expectancy gap between the U.S. and Europe is large and growing as Americans struggle with widespread obesity and the associated illnesses. Some research suggests that riding a bike makes you more likely to engage in other active pursuits as well. Apparently, when you feel healthy, being active is not a chore, but rather something that is enjoyed. Imagine that! Remember all kids count.

Couponing's Best-Kept Secrets, Maximize the Match: BOGO Plus Two
L
CENTRAL PLANT MANAGER..........................................................................Tom Henecker
SATURDAY September 26, 2009
ast week I introduced you to some of the fun ways shoppers can make "Buy one, get one free" (BOGO) sales even more rewarding. Anytime we can buy one item and get another free, we're essentially buying two at half price each. So how do we make a half-off sale even better? With coupons, of course! Here's the third "best-kept secret" of couponing: Secret #3: Use Two Coupons During a BOGO Sale At most stores, you can use one coupon per purchase. Even though you're buying one item and getting another "free," it's not truly free. You still have to go through the act of "purchasing" it at the register (the store won't allow you to just pick up the "free" jar and take it home, will they?) If you live in an area that collects sales tax on groceries, you must still pay sales tax on the "free" item. So, it's best to think of BOGO sales as buying two for the price of one. As long as you're buying two items, even if one is full-price and one is free, you can use a coupon on each item you're buying. You're buying two items, so you can use two coupons. Here's an example illustrating why this is a great idea. My grocery store has organic pasta sauces on sale for $3, "Buy one, get one free." And even though the register rings them up as $3 for the first jar and $0 for the second, it is still possible for me to present a coupon on each jar for additional savings. For this sale, I have two $1 coupons for the pasta sauce. Using one coupon for each jar I purchase brings my cost down to just $1 for two jars, or 50 cents each! That's a great price for any pasta sauce, especially organic.
Now, many grocery stores handle BOGO sales differently. With a sale like the one I outlined above, most stores' registers will ring the sale as one $3 jar and one $0 jar. Other grocery stores may By Jill Cataldo approach the same BOGO sale by ringing up each item at $1.50 each. Either way, you can still use a coupon on each item and get each jar of pasta sauce for 50 cents. Are you ready for a bonus tip? If your store "splits" BOGO prices into half for each item, you only have to buy one of the items to get it for that price! So, if you only had one pasta sauce coupon, you could buy just one jar, get it for the $1.50 price, use a $1 coupon on it, and still take it home for 50 cents. To determine which way your store handles BOGO sales, look at your receipt the next time you buy items promoted in a BOGO sale. If the register rings one at full price and one at zero, you must buy two to receive the price. If it rings each one at half of full price, you will be able to buy just one of the items involved in the sale and receive it for half the price without buying the second item.

Strong showing by Garcia, Tyler To the editor: I would point out a few facts. DA Garcia has rebuffed accusations of increased spending by pointing out her praising by the Essex County Board of Supervisors of her fiscal restraint, and presented public record to show a decrease during her term. This was reaffirmed in the primaries by DA Garcia taking the town of Essex three to one over Sprague, as you recall Ron Jackson, the Essex Supervisor, strongly pushed these allegations. She was also accused of a poor record as DA. Julie rebuffed this with records showing her superior performance to ex-DA Briggs and on par performance with the Clinton County DA, with Sprague on staff. Reaffirmed again by the primary voters in Elizabethtown, the County Seat, by DA Garcia beating Sprague by taking 6 out of 10 votes; the light shines through! I am "Ike" Tyler's Treasurer; he is my brother in law. Ike has the training it takes to run a prison with his 25 years in corrections and a business degree. Ike took the Town of Lewis in the primaries (54%), important in that this is where the Jail is located. That's a strong statement! Ike also took Moriah (59%) where he was corrections officer! Lastly, Ike won Elizabethtown. The power brokers in Essex County are being challenged by DA Julie Garcia and "Ike" Tyler. Sheriff Hommes and Kristy Sprague needed to get a 2 to 1 victory in the primaries to win in November, their people know this, They got a draw. The truth is out; on To Victory for Garcia and Tyler!

CROWN POINT — Crown Point Central School students wanted to be part of history. That’s why the entire school — about 400 students, teachers and staff — made the trek to the Crown Point State Historic Site to participate in Champlain Quadricentennial events Sept. 18. “We decided to take the entire school because of the unique opportunity it (the quadricentennial) presented,” explained Shane Thelan, a social studies teacher. “Crown Point is a community school. We felt it was important for all students to be involved in this unique community event.” The celebration, which continued Sept. 19 with the re-dedication of the renovated Champlain Memorial lighthouse, marked the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain’s discovery of the lake that bears his name. At the same time the annual Festival of Nations was taking place at the site. The Festival of Nations celebrated the cultural heritage of the nations which, during the 1700s, left a lasting imprint on the Lake Champlain Valley: Canada, France, Great Britain, Native American Indian tribes, and the United States. It featured music, crafts, food, dance, games, family activities, clothing, folk life and customs. Crown Point students took part in a variety of grade-level appropriate activities during their visit. To prepare for the adventure students read about de Champlain. Students were able to see the Lois McClure, a replica schooner docked at Crown Point Reservation Campground’s renovated steamboat dock. They also met “Samuel Champlain,” portrayed by Don Thompson, and heard vocalist and instrumentalist Linda Russell perform music familiar to Lake Champlain inhabitants during the 1700s. Highlighting the Sept. 18 activities was the re-dedication of the Champlain Memorial lighthouse. Taking part in the re-dedication were Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Alexander “Pete” Grannis and French Ambassador Pierre Vimont. A bust by French sculptor Auguste Rodin adorns the front of the lighthouse, and was a gift to the people of the Champlain Valley from France when the lighthouse was originally dedicated. It was built in 1858 and converted into a monument to the French explorer and dedicated in 1912. The work by Rodin, called “La France,” was recently removed, restored and replaced on the lighthouse with enhanced security measures. It was part of a $2 million renovation project at the lighthouse and ad-

French Ambassador Pierre Vimont also signed the compact. jacent pier. “We are honored to dedicate this magnificent sculpture,” Vimont said. “This was an attempt to build a memorial to Samuel de Champlain and his amazing adventure. This piece of art is not a small token.” As part of the re-dedication the Champlain Valley String Orchestra, under direction of Laurel Rule, performed Crown Point Suite. The group consists of 15 local string students, adult string players and teachers from six towns in Essex and Clinton counties. Crown Point Suite is an original composition for string orchestra by Westport resident and cellist Laurel Rule. Throughout the day there were performances and presentations by Martin Sexton, The U.S. Merchant Marine Corps Band, Piers Faccini, Justin Jones and the Driving Rain, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Hackett Fischer, Stephane Wrembel, Bear Tracks, Tim Jennings and LeAnne Ponder, Darren Bonaparte and a screening of the soon-to-be-released documentary Dead Reckoning. As part of the quadricentennial events, the Crown Point Post Office offered a special pictorial cancellation, “Quadricentennial Champlain Celebration.” Saturday concluded with a fireworks display over Lake Champlain. The weekend events concluded Sept. 20 when filmmaker Caro Thompson introduced a one-hour showing of her Emmy Award-winning documentary, Champlain: The Lake Between.

Concerned citizens joining ‘party’ to shake up government By Dan Alexander dan@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Upstate New York Tea Party has begun its movement to shake up Washington, D.C. Coordinator Mark Barie of Rouses Point opened the first meeting of the UNYTEA Party to a standing-room only crowd at the Plattsburgh-North Country Chamber of Commerce Sept. 20. The meeting, set against the backdrop screen of the Web site www.USDebtClock.org — which shows the growth of government debt by the second — drew more than 140 people. During the meeting, the UNYTEA group gave an overview of the independent political committee’s mission to combat excessive government spending and reduce taxes and the size of government. The group plans to do so through letter-writing campaigns, sponsoring public debates, direct mail efforts and TEA Party rallies to “send a message to their elected representatives in Washington,” noted Barie. “We are a grassroots organization of North Country residents who believe that partisan politics must give way to common sense and dollars and cents,” Barie said. “We cannot spend our way out of debt, nor should we insist on taxing those who work in the name of those who won’t.” The UNYTEA will join nearly 750 other similarly-formed groups around the country who are not affiliated with any political party but who are concerned and frightened about the direction in which the country is headed and believe they have a patriotic duty to stand up and make a difference, as their forefathers did many years ago.
The group is actively looking to build its membership in the North Country, with the goal of 1,000 members by this time next year. Although, given the enthusiasm of the participants to date, Barie said he wouldn't be surprised reached that number very quickly. “We will work tirelessly to ensure that we only send those individuals to Washington,” Barie said, “regardless of their party affiliation, who believe that those that govern least, govern best and that the American system of Free Enterprise is the only proven system of success for generations to come.” Recognition was given to Jonathan Nelson, who is credited with initiating the group first gathering in Trinity Park. Also introduced were members of the steering committee, which included Nelson, John Ianelli, Greg Laduke, Dr. John Middleton, Kirk Stallsmith, Jim Wemett), and John VanNatten. In addition to the steering committee, the group is looking for coordinators for every county, town and village in the North Country. The group also heard from local individuals who attended a recent TEA Party rally in Washington, D.C. with more than 1.5 million people in attendance. Pictures of the rally and impressions of those in attendance were shared with the group. The meeting closed with several individuals in the audience adding comments, concerns an support to the mission of the UNYTEA. The group’s next event will be a healthcare forum to be held tentatively Sunday, Oct. 4, in which all three candidates for the 23rd Congressional District seat — Republication Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava, Democratic Party candidate Bill Owens and

“I think you’re cutting your nose off to spite your own face,” Martin said. “I just don’t see how you’re going to gain a lot by the ban.” The board held their regular meeting that same evening where the new law passed by a vote of 3-1. Martin was the only board member opposed, and councilman Phil Hutchins was absent due to a death in the family.

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — The defending MVAC girls soccer champions had the first and last word in Willsboro Sept. 17, but the home team made them work for it. Megan Jaquish's goal with eight seconds remaining in regulation erased a one-goal lead Chazy had held since early in the first half, but the Eagles would avoid the tie with a crafty goal in second overtime for the 2-1 win over Willsboro. “I’m pleased with our effort, but obviously not with
the outcome,” said Willsboro assistant coach Ralph Marcotte. Chazy got things going early with a goal by Victoria Reynolds, who scored from point blank range after a pass from Kirsten Doran squirted loose near the net. Led by Reynolds and junior midfielder Astrid Kempainen, the Eagles continued to put pressure on Willsboro’s defense. “[Kempainen] had a good game for them helping to control the ball in the midfield,” said Marcotte. “We had a hard time matching up.”

Patriots drop home opener to NCCS By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE — The Patriots kept the pressure on for much of the game, but ultimately gave way to NCCS 3-0 in CVAC boys soccer Sept. 18. The first home game for AuSable Valley saw very little action at either net as both teams struggled to get anything going inside the 18. That all changed midway through the second half, however, when Cougars forward Dyan Carter got loose a breakaway after a failed scoring attempt by AuSable Valley. Less than a minute later, Devan Poissant fired a pass into the box that got mishandled by the Patriot defense. Logan Miller found the ball and scored on an open net. Poissant later added a third goal on the game’s only penalty kick. The Cougars outshot AuSable Valley 8-5 with goalie Casey Manor collecting
five saves for the win. Patriots goalie T.J. Burl had five saves as well. Despite the shutout loss, Patriots head coach Bob Hamilton said he was pleased with what he saw from his team, especially defenders Jordan Holdridge, Curtis Loreman, and Sean Pulsifer. “I’m very happy with the way we played tonight,” said Patriots head coach Bob Hamilton. “I think we did a good job possessing the ball. We just have to find a way to finish, that’s all.”

Boys Soccer NAC 1, AuSable Valley 0 ELLENBURG — The Patriots started their season off with a dissapointing loss to Northern Adirondack in CVAC boys soccer Sept. 16. Spencer Ferguson's goal just three and a half minutes into the contest was all the Bobcats needed to get past AuSable Valley, who spent most of the game defending their own half. Ben LaValley was credited with the assist. T.J. Burl turned back 15 of NAC's 17 shots, while the Bobcats' Tyler Mesec made five saves for the shutout.
Westport 1, Schroon Lake 0 SCHROOON LAKE — Westport got their first win of the season in a close match with the Wildcats in MVAC soccer Sept. 16. Nathan Gay set up David Quaglietta just before the 28minute mark, scoring the lone goal in a back-and-forth match. Schroon Lake actually outshot the Eagles 12-11, but Nik Reynolds' seven saves were enough to hold off a late surge by the Wildcats for the shutout. Schroon Lake keeper Justin Wachowski nabbed six saves of his own.
Willsboro 4, Crown Point 0 CROWN POINT — The Warriors scored early and often as they handed a defeat to Crown Point in MVAC boys soccer Sept. 16. Clay Sherman assisted on two first half goals, the first one by Alex Hamel just a minute and a half into the match. The second was finished by Lucas Strong. Hamel assisted Jeffrey Bigelow three minutes later and Strong added the fourth goal with eight minutes to spare in the first half. Altogether, Willsboro outshot the Panthers 28-6 with Justin Drinkwine nabbing two saves for the shutout. Max Mesones stopped 19 shots for Crown Point.
Elizabethtown-Lewis 5, Keene 0 LEWIS — The Lions scored four goals in the first half and cruised to victory against Keene in MVAC boys soccer Sept. 16. Tanner Cassavaugh accounted for two goals, including Elizabethtown's first at the 8:30 mark. Brody Hooper and Andrew Kerr added goals of their own before Cassavaugh put the Lions up 4-0 two minutes before intermission. Patrick Phillips tacked on one more 13 minutes into the second half. Keene got good midfield play from Dylan Boyle, but were limited to just two shots in the contest. James Bell stopped eight of the Lions' 22 shots.
Keene 4, Minerva-Newcomb 2 KEENE — The Beavers continued their strong season with a win over Minerva-Newcomb in MVAC boys soccer Sept. 18. Keene went up 3-1 in the first half thanks to two goals by Cody Whitney and one by Austin Holbrook. Whitney then scored again in the second half to complete the hat trick. Dylan Seville had 19 saves for the Mountaineers and James Bell 11 for the Beavers in a 25-13 shootout. Jonas Unwyler was responsible for both Minerva-Newcomb goals.
Westport 3, Indian/Long Lake 0 WESTPORT — The Eagles got their second win as they downed Indian Lake-Long Lake in MVAC boys soccer Sept. 18. Bo McKinley made the first strike on a penalty kick less than seven minutes into the match, then scored again seven minutes later off an assist from Chris Golembeck. Westport goalie Nik Reynolds made five saves for the shutout and freshman Jack Newberry found the net for a third goal assisted by Nathan Gay in the second half. Orange goalie Zach Rutland stopped nine of Westport's 17 shots on goal.

Seton then went up 2-1 early in the second half with a goal from Kaile Bushey, but Patriots forward Megan Colby managed an equalizer just before the end of regulation. In the first overtime, Lindsey Bushey scored unassisted, putting Seton up again, but Flint scored again with three minutes left in the second overtime on a corner kick play assisted by Kelly McBrearity. Shannon Olsen finished stopped six shots for Seton, and Jena Finnegan made eight saves for the Patriots.

Solution to last week’s puzzle
www.Thevalleynews.org
SATURDAY September 26, 2009
VALLEY NEWS - 15 Women are also leading trips for whitewater rafting, ski touring, backpacking, rock climbing and ice climbing. They form the core of wilderness education programs and represent nearly 72 percent of the membership of the National Association of Interpreters, a professional organization of certified naturalists. Women now constitute the majority of instructors teaching the next generation about the out of doors. Women have more opportunities today to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for wilderness adventures. At the same time they are acquiring these tools, they are also empowering themselves to better utilize this training, often while teaching others. Additionally, as women began to take advantage of the opportunities to enjoy wilderness adventures, the outdoor industry took notice. In 1984, Kelty, Inc., a premier manufacturer of backpacks, introduced the Kelty Woman, a backpack specifically designed for the female frame. Kelty was one of the first in the outdoor industry to recognize the potential for manufacturing and marketing products specifically for women. Previously, women had to use smaller sized men’s equipment or products made for children. However, this equipment didn’t fit, feel or look right. How quickly the tide turned. Today, equipment technology features lighter, stronger materials that are easier to use and carry. These products are more accessible than ever since they are often designed, manufactured and marketed by women for women. Companies such as Browning, Marlin and Rugar now produce firearms specifically designed and sized for women. So does Orvis, LL Bean and a host of outdoor equipment and apparel manufacturers. Furthermore, the advent of gender specific gear has made skill sets and technique more important than brute strength. Materials such as kevlar have dramatically reduced product weight, while graphite has improved performance. Today, there are more women paddling remote regions and casting a flyrod than ever before. Removing the ‘macho’ element from the outdoor experience has opened new horizons of adventure travel to a segment of the population that is appreciative, considerate of the environment and in many cases, ‘just fun to be with.’ Gentlemen be advised! The next time you encounter someone you thought was just a “Babe in the Woods,” keep an eye on her. You may learn a thing or two!
Women now a strong presence in the outdoors
E
arlier this month, I visited The Whitetail Summit 2009 hosted at the Sports Dome in Queensbury. Although attendance levels were lower than expected, the event offered numerous high quality exhibits and a wide range of interesting seminars. It was a good start toward building a quality show that will hopefully grow into an annual event. I stuck around to attend The Whitetail Summit dinner sponsored by Trijicon and watch as Vermont deer hunting legend, Larry Benoit, was inducted into the newly created, Whitetail Hall of Fame, as its first member. Benoit’s sons, Lanny and Shane, accepted the award on their father's behalf. Among the camo clad crew, one enthusiast stood out. Karen Turner, aka the Vermont Huntress was notable for one simple reason. She was a female and she represents the fastest growing constituency among an ever diminishing breed of outdoor enthusiasts, hunters. Whitetail deer are a hunter ’s equivalent of bass. And like bass, whitetail deer are widely distributed across most of the country. Relatively easily accessible, whitetails are the most commonly hunted big game animal in North America. They are a blue collar animal, the prey of Joe Sixpack. Despite the fact that whitetail deer are pursued predominantly by rural, white males, women constitute the fastest growing segment of the hunting fraternity today. Over the past decade, an interesting and important trend has quietly taken place across the wild lands of North America. Women are taking to the woods in ever increasing numbers. They possess more effective outdoor skills and a greater level of confidence than ever before. Hunting, fishing adventures are no longer the exclusive domain of the male of the species. Nor, in reality, were they ever! Women were the original campers, from the earliest
days, in almost all corners of the earth. Aboriginal people relied on women to prepare shelters, to make clothes, gather the water, cook the meals and tend to the necessities essential to insure survival of their people. Women made the decisions of when to move and where to camp. Meanwhile, the men hunted and went to war. It’s not surprising that many Native American nations were matriarchal societies. As ‘civilized’ society grew and matured, it evolved to the point where a women’s place was considered to be the home, while the men were expected to roam. The wilderness was considered a hostile environment to be tamed. It was not a place fit for a lady. Although numerous examples remain of pioneer women taking to the woods, the American society came to accept the fact that woodland travel and wilderness adventures were primarily a male dominated environment. The massive Brandreth Park, with over 30,000 acres stretching from Raquette Lake to Long Lake, is considered the largest, single family owned parcel in the Adirondacks. From the turn of the century and well into the 1900’s, a local hunter by the name of Paul Brandreth hunted these lands. Paul was an internationally recognized expert on hunting whitetail deer and wrote of his adventures in Forest and Stream, Woods and Waters and other national publications. He even published a book on hunting whitetails. It is still considered one of the finest ever written on the subject. However, despite being one of the foremost authorities on the topic, Paul never attended the fabled New York Sportsman Show. He never set foot in the Explorers Club nor shared a cigar with Teddy Roosevelt while recounting tales of the hunt. The reason Paul Brandreth never shared in any of the common delights for a man of the hunt, was because he was a she. Pauline Brandreth wrote under the pen name Paul. It was the only way she could be published, for at the time, no one would believe that a woman knew anything about hunting whitetail deer. Luckily, for both genders, this attitude is rapidly slipping into oblivion. Today, there are female forest rangers, EnCon officers and fire jumpers. Women now rate highly as hunting and fishing guides, two pursuits considered the bastions of traditional guided adventures.
