Keeseville grocery store shuts down By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — Yet another local grocery store has gone out of business. Bourgeois’ IGA in Keeseville closed its doors last week. Bruce Bourgeois and his family have operated the store for over two and a half years. “I think it’s just the economy,” said Bourgeois. “We look back on our sales a little over a year ago, and we were doing very well.” The store’s sales have steadily declined over the past year, however, and so has the amount of merchandise on its shelves. “In the grocery business it’s all about turnaround,” Bourgeois explained. “When you have less sales, you have less money to buy new items.” The result, he said, was a downward spiral that made it more and more difficult for the store to recover. Just before closing, the store was selling upwards of $30,000 less per month than the year before. Bourgeois sub-leased the store, which actually belongs to an out-of-state owner. He said the lease was very high. At its peak, the store employed 55 people both full- and part-time. Just before closing, about 15 people were employed there. “We were very good at customer service,” Bourgeois said. “People usually talked about how it was a friendly store.” Still, Bourgeois stressed that it hasn’t been lack of community support that’s forced him to close down the store. “The community has supported us immensely,” he said. “People have just been fantastic.” “It has nothing to do with customer loyalty and everything to do with the economy,” said Bourgeois, convinced that many of his customers turned to larger, more distant stores to save on their grocery bill. “I can’t blame the people for doing that.” Bourgeois said it was not all that surprising to people when they heard of the store closing, but many of its former customers were still saddened by the news. “We delivered groceries to people who couldn’t get out and do their own shopping,” Bourgeois said, “and they’re going to miss us a lot.” “Everyone knew he was struggling,” said village of Keeseville Mayor Meeghan Rock, who said the store’s closing will have a great effect on the community. “The good news is, the person that owned the lease of the building expressed great interest in opening a store there, possibly in January” she said, noting it’s the same company that operates the Tops Market in Port Henry. “So hopefully, we’ll only have to go a couple of months without one.” As for Bourgeois, the future remains unclear. Though many community members have urged him to open up another business in town, he said he’s considering all his options. “We’ll do something else,” he said.
Sprague clinches win in Essex County DA race Absentee ballots put victory out of reach for Garcia By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The count of absentee ballots has upheld Kristy Sprague’s victory in the race for Essex County District Attorney. Sprague finished with a 125-vote lead over incumbent Julie Garcia after Essex County Board of Elections officials completed their count of more than 850 absentee ballots Nov. 16. With more than 12,000 votes counted on election night, Sprague, who ran on the Republican and Independent lines, held just a 75-vote lead over Garcia, who ran as a Democrat. Tabulation of absentee ballots began Nov. 12 under the close scrutiny of County Attorney Daniel Manning and lawyers representing both Garcia and Sprague. Both candidates picked up hundreds more votes, but as Sprague’s lead slowly grew, Garcia ultimately admitted defeat. “Kristy has won the race, and I congratulate her and wish her success,” said Garcia. “I wish her well in her new position.” Sprague said she was very pleased with the results and how the absentee votes followed the typical trend of mirroring results on election day. Both candidates expressed satisfaction with the counting process. “It went pretty smoothly,” said Sprague, “I thought once the

attorneys were involved, things would be pretty contentious, but everyone was very congenial. I think it was a good process.” “It was an extremely close race, and I’m satisfied with the results,” said Garcia. Sprague will take office Jan. 1. Until then, she’s hoping to put the elections behind her and prepare for the next four years as District Attorney.

Westport school looks to add generator School board vacancy needs to be filled By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Voters in the Westport Central School district will have two major issues on a special ballot Dec. 22. The board of education will be looking to fill a vacant seat due to the resignation of one of its members. The more controversial topic, however, may be a $500,000 capital project the board has decided to put in front of voters. The primary goal of the project is to install a 200 kW outdoor generator at the school that would power the entire building in the event of a power outage. “A number of people in the community indicated the school should be able to be equipped as an emergency shelter,” said Westport Superintendent John Gallagher. “The schools are the center of the community, so if they can be equipped as
Plans are in the works to add a 200 kW generator at Westport Central School, one part of a $500,000 capital project that will be on a public ballot Dec. 22. The school will also be looking to fill a sudden vacancy on the school board.

Students from Lake Placid, Keene, and Crown Point Central Schools listen intently as professional actor Fred Morsell portrays famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass Nov. 17 at Keene Central School. The spirited presentation was given as part of an ongoing series of programs known as “John Brown Coming Home,” a commemoration of John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry 150 years ago.
Sprague From page 1 “I look forward to fulfilling the promises I made to the voters and making some positive changes in the county,” she said. One of the most immediate changes Sprague expects to make is in the way the office will handle its cases. “First and foremost, I think we need to take a look at the allocation of cases to the staff,” said Sprague, noting her desire to be a hands-on prosecutor. “We’ll look at the staffing and what we, as a team, can do in the future.” She’ll also be working to get up to speed on some of the cases slated to be tried in January, such as the homicide case facing Michael Smith for his alleged fatal shooting of Leo Hickey in a hunting accident last fall. Garcia has already submitted a proposed 2010 budget for the District Attorney’s office. The budget is still subject to change, however, as the Essex County Board of Supervisors works to finalize it in the coming weeks. “I’m sure if Kristy wants to make any changes, the board would be amenable to the changes she suggests,” said Garcia. Garcia expressed appreciation for the support she’s received in the race and said she was proud of her campaign, despite the loss. “I feel wholeheartedly that, although we didn’t come out on top, it was a very successful campaign on many different levels,” she said. Her future at this point remains unclear, but Garcia said she is optimistic given the record of the District Attorney’s office during her term. “I want to thank all the people who worked so hard on the campaign,” said Garcia, “and I want to thank the people of Essex County for giving me the privilege of serving them over these past four years. It’s been an experience that’s been very rewarding.” Still, the rewards of victory await Sprague, who also expressed gratitude to those who helped her attain it. “I want to thank all my supporters, and especially Receiving payments the voters, for sticking with from real estate sold? me through this long and trying election,” said Sprague. “I couldn’t have done it without them.”

Tentative budget raises concerns among supervisors By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County officials are finding it hard to keep tax rates down as they review anticipated spending for the next two years. County Manager Daniel Palmer, who has been compiling a tentative budget for next year, told the Essex County Finance Committee at its Nov. 16 meeting that there may be some tough decisions ahead. According to Palmer, the tentative county budget for the 2009-2010 year will reduce appropriations by $2.9 million. “The problem is that the revenue is $3.6 million down from the 2008-2009 budget,” he said. The difference amounts to a five percent increase in the tax levy, but it’s the following year that is of even greater concern. “The real problem comes in 2011,” said Palmer, who said the levy could increase another 39 percent next year due to rising expenditures and further anticipated cuts in state aid.
Still, both Palmer and members of the finance committee agreed that more needs to be done with the budget at hand. Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, chair of the committee, suggested the board look for more ways to cut expenditures. He asked specifically about raises slated for management-level employees, which total more than $236,000 for the next year. Palmer said keeping costs down can be difficult with mandated expenses like employee benefits and health care continuing to increase at staggering rates. Health insurance expenses increased 15 percents from 2008-2009 and Palmer expects they will increase another 18 percent next year. “If national health insurance actually does something and drives down the cost of our health care, that’s the best thing I can hope for,” said Palmer, expressing skepticism that it would do more than cover those currently uninsured. Palmer also noted the tentative budget will put $7.4 million of the county’s $21 million fund balance toward next year’s spending.
“All we’re doing is using our fund balance to buy down the levy,” he said, noting a similar yet troublesome trend over the past four years. North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi was among many who expressed concern with using so much of the fund balance. “I do personally have a problem with continuing to pay down this amount of fund balance every year,” he said, noting it’s allowed the tax rate to stay unrealistically level. “We’re at $2 a thousand, and it’s been going down because we’ve been buying down the levy with our fund balance every year.” Palmer said Essex County has one of the lowest tax rates in the state, and realistically should have a rate of around $3.20 per thousand, which would be more comparable to neighboring counties. Newcomb Supervisor George Canon brought up the need for a decision regarding
the Horace Nye Nursing Home, one of the county’s largest non-mandated expenses. Several supervisors have hinted at privatizing the facility. “In these economic times when a lot of our constituents are feeling the pain, I think that’s something we need to take a look at,” said Scozzafava. Palmer recommended reducing the use of fund balance as a first priority. He agreed to give committee members a detailed analysis of areas where additional cuts could potentially be made. A public hearing on the tentative budget is scheduled for Dec. 1, 7 p.m., at the supervisors’ chambers in Elizabethtown. Members of the public who wish to speak or submit written statements will be permitted to do so. Meanwhile, a detailed summary of the tentative budget is available for review at the office of the clerk of the board of supervisors.

omte Chateaubriand de Béarnaise once said that the more things change the more they stay the same. In a 1932 edition of the Essex County Republican it was reported that a move was underway to close the Essex Station in Boquet because the Great Depression had caused business to fall greatly. The writer, a concerned citizen living in the Essex hamlet, suggested the closing of the Whallonsburg station instead. “Why not close the RR station in the South (Whallonsburg)” he writes, “after all, it’s not in the center of the Town.” Actually the writer was twice wrong since the so called Essex RR Station was in the Boquet Hamlet and the ‘Burg is more central to the town, not Essex. At my age, sadness often comes when someone of value, or interest, or personification of those times of life in which they lived dies. Albert Baldwin is an example of such a person. Beyond a very few Essex folk like Norma, Grace, Katherine, Mildred, Puss, Myrna and others from his generation, not many in town know Albert. Albert reflected much of 19th and 20th century Essex living. The Baldwin farm, a remnant now owned by Myrna Mandeville, is the largest and most profitable farm in the history of the ‘Burg. While I only knew

him through long phone conversations whilst going over his writings, I still felt I knew him with all his strengths, and yes, his weakness. He died last week at 94 and up to the date of his death always seemed to be longing to return. Another icon has left us. See where the county is digging valleys alongside the roads again. I have trouble staying awake whilst driving after 3:30, so I like to put wheels on one side of my car into the ditches and that way I can sleep until I arrive home. Try that with 6” deep ditches. I also experienced a lesson in catology last week. Never walk up behind a cat that is eating and clap your hands over their head. Boy, do they jump, giving proof to that age old expression ”scaredy cat.” Oh yes, Kenda James explained to me the other day the reason behind the old saying “don’t pop a gusset.” For my last bit of news, granddaughter Sarah Looby, living in Wadhams, will be going to Memphis, Ten., this summer to participate in the “Junior Olympics” with her handy-dandy foil, a piece of weaponry popularized by Errol Flynn and “Dread Pirate Roberts.” Joining her will be Charlotte Stats. Good luck, girls, and impale a few for us.

his week, the NCSPCA would like to remind you again of a great way NY state employees can contribute to our shelter through SEFA, the State Employees Federated Appeal. SEFA is a joint venture of state employees, public employee unions, management and not-for-profit organizations. Through SEFA, state employees provide much needed funding statewide for over 4,000 healthcare and human service agencies. It is the only authorized fundraising campagin among state employees. Your gift through SEFA reduces the need for participating organizations to conduct separate fundraising drives. SEFA donation appeals are currently being circulated through state employees' offices.

ou may have been noticing how much more we, as a community, are urged to buy local. Some of these reasons include getting to know your local farmers, experiencing foods selected for flavor instead of shelf life, and bolstering the local economy. Now as the warmth of summer has faded and the first signs of winter are making their annual appearances, most farm stands and farmers markets have closed for the season, leaving you to wonder where you can acquire locally-produced foods? Since we do not live in a climate that allows produce to be grown year-round, it would be impossible to find certain types of locally-grown produce such as fresh strawberries in January. But, you can find some produce that has been grown under high-tunnels, protective row covers, or in greenhouses through the end of November and starting in the late winter/very early spring. More and more growers in our area are realizing the benefits of investing in season extension and as a result, we can purchase fresh salad greens long after the fall frost has killed our garden grown greens and long before we could ever get our greens into our gardens in the spring. In addition to season extension, there is quite a bit of local produce that can be stored and eaten throughout the winter. Our apple growers store apples in cold storage, allowing area residents the opportunity to eat local apples throughout the winter. Vegetables such as carrots, winter squash, potatoes, turnip, cabbage, rutaba-
ga, onion, and garlic can all be stored in a cool, dark environment for a few months. Farmers store this produce throughout the winter and continue to sell to local community members. More and more grocery stores, especially locally owned markets, are purchasing at least a portion of their products from local farmers and producers. Many of these store owners will advertise what produce is local, making it easy to identify as locally grown. Adirondack Harvest, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to local foods, helps connect consumers with producers. To find out what stores in your area carry locally produced foods visit www.adirondackharvest.com. Anne Lenox Barlow is the horticulture educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension in Clinton County.

fter the recent Congressional race, which was won by a Democrat for the first time in a century and half, much was made in the press of the North Country's lack of racial diversity as compared with the rest of the nation. That may be true, but that doesn't mean that our region—and our town—didn't play an important role in the struggle for civil rights. In fact, the Republican stranglehold on the North Country dates from the Civil War era, when the Republican Party was created in order to advance the cause of abolition. And before that, starting in the 1840s, an abolitionist named Gerrit Smith led an effort to settle free black farmers on some 120,000 acres of farmland in North Elba. That attempt failed, but not before it brought another abolitionist named John Brown to the North Country to settle on his own farm in North Elba. This year, in addition to being the quadricentennial of Samuel de Champlain's journey, also happens to the 150th anniversary of John Brown's famous raid on Harper's Ferry, Virginia (October 16, 1859) and his subsequent execution (December 2, 1859) upon being captured and tried by the government. After his death (but before it started a-moldering in the grave), John Brown's body was accompanied by his widow and surviving sons in procession back to North Elba, where it is buried. In Westport and elsewhere over the next couple of weeks, a number of special
events will commemorate this historic journey. What makes our little town important in this celebration is the fact that the body was brought across the lake at Barber's Point, on the horse-powered ferry that used to run there. That happened on December 6, 1859. At noon on Sunday, December 6, Westport will host a reenactment of the funeral cortege's arrival, which will take place at the Westport Marina. "John Brown's body" will then be brought up to the Heritage House, where, starting at 1 p.m., the acclaimed novelist (and Keene Valley resident) Russell Banks will read from his novel about John Brown, Cloudsplitter. After that, historian Don Papson will give a lecture entitled "John Brown and the Underground Railroad." The cortege will then proceed to Elizabethtown, where subsequent reenactments will take place at the Old Stone Church, the Courthouse, and the Deer's Head Inn (where the family spent the night). These events are being organized by the Adirondack Center History Museum in E'town. For tickets or for more information, call the museum at 873-6466 or email echs@adkhistorycenter.org. Other events— films, lectures, panel discussions, and more—will take place around the region. I've only told you about the ones here, in Westport, but if you ask me, they will be among the highlights. You can find out about the others at www.johnbrowncominghome.com.

Cricket’s celebrates 10 years
Lewis Family Diner THANKSGIVING DAY BUFFET from 11:30am -6pm Regular Menu until 11pm Closing at 6:30pm
By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PERU — When Paula Nephew and her husband, Dick, opened the doors of Cricket’s Restaurant in the fall of 1999, little did they know 10 years later they’d be more than a business, they’d be an important part of the community. “We purchased the property in October that year and opened the 15th of November,” recalled Paula Nephew. “It all happened so fast.” Nephew said she and her husband, each of whom had backgrounds in the restaurant industry prior to opening Cricket’s, opened the business after another restaurant at the Bear Swamp Road location had closed its doors. “We needed a place to dine,” she said. “The restaurant had closed and the opportunity came up and we jumped on it.” The venture involved remodeling the building, Cricket’s Restaurant owner Paula Nephew, center, stands with some of her pareceiving their liquor license and putting togeth- trons during a 10-year anniversary celebration at the restaurant Nov. 15.

Does your stuff own you? A
merica is suffering from over-consumption and excessive accumulation. One of the fastest growing businesses in America is the self-storage business. Even in profoundly rural Essex County, self storage units have popped up in many area communities. In suburban and urban areas, the need for self storage has become insatiable. While personal bankruptcy and record numbers of people losing their homes to defaulted mortgages have many running to self-storage facilities, those elements alone do not explain the exponential increase in self-storage in America. The experts suggest that there is a cost for accumulating clutter beyond the financial impact. Ergonomics is the scientific study of humans, space and energy. According to ergonomic scientists, objects create energy in our living space, their placement and displacements, the space they take up, create energy in our homes. If our homes are cluttered, the energy is negative 100 percent of the time. That energy can make us anxious and depressed or it can even make us ill. If you have ever been in a high school science class you may recall learning about stressed-out mice when their living space became overcrowded. As their space became progressively more crowded with more stuff, not more mice, mice that once had exhibited socially nurturing and life supporting behaviors became more and more depressed and anxious. Some mice became so anxious that a few resorted to cannibalistic behavior. As humans, our essential DNA is not dramatically different than those laboratory mice and while few of us will become flesh-consuming monsters, many of us may become stressed and anxious. Have you ever stayed in a nice
hotel? It is not accidental that upscale hotels feature large, open spaces. Hotels create open spaces because it compels guests to feel relaxed. Relaxed guests feel like engaging in recreation, going out to dinner and to otherwise spend money having fun. By Scot Hurlburt According to my reckoning, at any given moment, 25 percent of our homes should feature open space. In each room, 25 percent of your wall space and floor space should be open. This is the 25 percent rule. Take down that framed poster announcing Peter Frampton’s record setting performance at Plattsburg State. Each closet in your home should have 25 percent of its space available. You may need to give up that old jean jacket that used to fit you 15 pounds ago. I have resolved to declutter my life one space at a time. I will judiciously apply the 25 percent rule to each space in my life. Open spaces encourage calmness and imagination. In applying the 25 percent rule, I will end up with a well balanced home with a positive energy signature. If the 25 percent rule is real, anyone employing it should end up with about 25 percent more discretionary time at the end of the process. Time conceivably used for doing something fun with friends or family. Remember all kids count.

Some days are better than others
S
uper-Couponing Secret: The day of the week we shop makes a huge difference how much money we can save. To understand this tip, consider this: Many grocery stores run two sales cycles each week. One flier comes out on Thursday and runs for seven days. This is the "long" cycle, which runs Thursday-to-Wednesday. But the same stores often have a second sales flier that comes out on Sundays and runs for four days. This is the "short" cycle, which runs Sunday-to-Wednesday. Now, look at a calendar and pay attention to the days. There are four days each week when both cycles and sales fliers overlap: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If your store participates in two sales cycles, these are the days you want to shop in order to maximize your savings. By shopping Monday through Wednesday, you gain the advantage of two concurrent sales rather than just one. Why do stores do this? Look at the remaining three days in the week: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These are busy days for a grocery store. Statistically speaking, they're also the days people are most likely to shop without much forethought. The weekend is approaching, the workweek is almost done and people head to the store. By contrast, when Sunday rolls around and the new week arrives, store traffic drops off. The store issues more sales and more deals on those days in order to drive traffic back into the store. These are the days we want to shop! People often ask me how many times I'm at the grocery store during the week (I can't imagine why, but many people are under the impression that I practically live there!) The truth is much less exciting. I really do shop just once a week. But I always shop on one of days when both sales fliers are active. Another reason to shop earlier in the week is that stores will raise prices on many items later in the week. My store
recently had a sale on a brand-name cereal. At $1.25 a box, it was already a great price; with a $1 coupon, I took it home for a quarter. That sale ran Sunday through Wednesday. On By Jill Cataldo Thursday, the same cereal was still on "sale," but the new sale price? $2.50 a box. The price doubled in one day! This is one of those hidden little games the stores play, too. The same items may be on sale, but the sale price is a lot less attractive as the higher-traffic shopping days approach If you never clipped a single coupon, you would save a great deal of money just by shopping earlier in the week. If I had purchased my cereal on Thursday instead of Wednesday, I would have paid twice the price! Now, think about many other items in the grocery store take similar jumps in prices as the end of the week nears, and you'll see why it makes sense to shop on the days the sales overlap. If you need even more convincing, consider what happens when the same product is on sale in both sales fliers. I've seen crackers on sale for $1.99 in the long-cycle flier while in the short cycle flier, the same crackers were on sale Buy One, Get One Free! The smart shopper who is in the store on the days that the sales overlap, will not only get the crackers for $1.99, they'll take home a second package for free. And if they use a coupon on each box ... Oh, the possibilities! © CTW Features

ELIZABETHTOWN — Brenda Butcher passed away on November 12, 2009, at the Woodland Terrace Nursing Home in DeLand, FL after a battle with cancer. Better known as “The BOOMER”, she will be remembered for her kind hearted spirit and love of life. Born June 26, 1942 in Elizabethtown, NY, she was the daughter of the late Thomas and Vennia Cassavaugh. She married the late Matthew Butcher, and settled in Schuylerville, NY where they raised three children and worked side by side training and racing horses at Saratoga Springs Raceway. A life of commitment to family, friends and community can be described by the many organizations she was a member of: the Dutch Reform Church, Youth Leadership, Harness Horsewomen’s Association, Order of the Eastern Star, and Girl Scout leadership. Her job for the Cooperative Extension was a job of reaching out and enabling people to help them selves. Brenda moved south to DeLeon Springs, FL where she continued to touch the lives of many. She is survived by her long time devoted friend Ted Hokkanen of Astor, FL; her sister Myrna LaBombard of Westport, NY; oldest daughter Vena Reynolds of Clifton Park, NY; Jacquie Sheffield of Atlanta, GA; son Matthew Butcher Jr. of Oxford, PA; seven grandchildren; and two great grandchildren. At Brenda’s request no services will be held and her ashes will be spread on Flat Top Mountain in the Mount Roger ’s National Recreation Area in Virginia.

To the editor, On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2009, the Willsboro United Methodist Church hosted the fifth annual Veterans Day Program and Dinner for approximately 75 veterans and their guests. At that time, a "free will offering" was collected to donate 50 percet of the proceeds collected to the Northern New York Veterans Assistance Program and and to donate 50 percent to the Vermont National Guard's Veterans Assistance Family Readiness Program in memory of Justin Wrisley Garvey, a Vermont soldier, born here in Willsboro, who was killed in Iraq in 2003. I would like to thank all the veterans, guests, and program participants for their generous contributions totaling $500 to these two worthy causes. It is just one more example of how veterans and their families are more than willing to help other veterans. We have always been so very fortunate in this country to have men and women willing and ready to serve their country and assure that this country remains free. Thank you, veterans.

PLATTSBURGH — The First Assembly of God has been helping less fortunate children overseas for the past 10 years, and it’s a tradition that continues. Since 1999, the Prospect Avenue church has been collecting shoe boxes full of school supplies, hygiene products and toys for needy children as part of Operation Christmas Child. The project is a philanthropic effort overseen by Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief organization, explained Rita D. Alford, coordinator for the local church’s collection center. The First Assembly of God first became involved as a relay center, receiving donations from people in the area. The donations were then sent on to a collection center in Albany, where they were then packed transported to the headquarters of Samaritan’s Purse in Boone, N.C. The boxes were then sent to destinations around the globe. In recent years, efforts at the First Assembly of God have grown and the church today serves as a collection center. Donations are taken in from relay centers in Saranac Lake, Malone and Massena, and are then transported directly from Plattsburgh to Boone for worldwide distribution. Since 1993, when Operation Christmas Child was first established Samaritan’s Purse chief executive officer Franklin Graham, son of Christian evangelist Billy Graham, the organization has collected 69 million shoe boxes. Last year, more than 8 million shoe boxes were collected internationally for Operation Christmas Child, with approximately 5 million coming from the United States alone. The Plattsburgh collection center transported 4,202 of those shoe boxes to the distribution center in North Carolina. This year, Alford wants those numbers to grow. “Eight million sounds like a lot, but it’s really not compared to the amount of children born every year [in developing countries],” said Alford. “In India alone, there are an estimated 28 million babies born a year ... so if every man, woman, boy and girl in this country packed a shoe box, it wouldn’t even be enough for every child in India under 14 years of age.” “We’d like to at least collect 4,500 [shoe boxes] this year,” Alford added. Operation’s Christmas Child’s National Collection Week, falls this year from Monday, Nov. 16, through Monday, Nov. 23. And, while the emphasis on collecting doesn’t officially start for another week, shoe boxes and other donations are already being accepted, said Alford, who added making a donation is “very easy.” Donors may take an empty shoe box or small plastic container and fill it with gifts for a girl or boy child. The boxes will be or-

ganized by age category — 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14 — and by gender before being distributed. Alford, who traveled to the Dominican Republic with Operation Christmas Child last February, said seemingly trivial items like pens and pencils, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and toy cars and dolls can mean the world to a child in need. “These shoe boxes are precious to them. It’s hard for us to believe, because we have so much,” said Alford. “But, when someone across the world that doesn’t know them would pack such a box, with such treasures for them, it just gives them hope.” Boxes, which are asked to be accompanied with a $7 donation per box to cover transportation costs, may be dropped off at the First Assembly of God Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, 1-5 p.m., through Nov. 23. The boxes be will shipped out from the collection center promptly Tuesday morning, said Alford, making it necessary all donations are turned in before then. Those interested in learning more about Operation Christmas Child or in making a donation, may contact Alford at 563-5799 or visit the project’s Web site at www.samaritanspurse.org.

On Oct. 24, volunteers from the Champlain Area Trails picked up roadside litter and formed the number 350 out of returnable cans and bottles. This was done as part of a nation-wide International Day of Climate Action initiative to publicize the number 350, which, in parts per million, is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The volunteers cleaned up roads that connect trails at Coon Mountain, Split Rock Wild Forest, and Whallonsburg.

Sharon Boisen board of supervisors, and would have been slated to become chairman of the body in 2010. With his absence, that seat will likely go to another seasoned Republican supervisor. Absentee ballots proved to be the difference in the outcome of town council races in Elizabethtown. There, Angel Marvin had held a three-vote lead over incumbent Joseph Martin for one of two open seats. Martin got the bulk of absentee votes, however, and pulled ahead to a 209 to 200 win. Fellow incumbent Kenneth Fenimore was re-elected to the other open seat with 239 votes.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Elections officials in Essex County carefully combed through hundreds of absentee ballots earlier this week and determined the winners of some of the closest races at the town level. Sharon Boisen, an independent, held a 153-139 election night lead over Republican incumbent Ronald Jackson in the race for Essex Town Supervisor.. The final count doubled Boisen’s lead, crediting her with 182 votes to Jackson’s 154. “I’m looking forward to focusing more on learning the job and putting my efforts on that for now,” Boisen said. Boisen has never held any elected office before, but has been involved at the town level on various project committees in recent years. She said she intends to keep attending meetings and communicating with other county officials in preparation for the start of her term Jan. 1. Boisen is also working closely with Jackson at the town hall to learn the ins and outs of everyday work as a supervisor. “He seems to be working well with me at this point,” said Boisen, “and I appreciate that.” Jackson, now in his eighth year as supervisor, is currently vice-chairman of the

Brooks, third from right, was joined by those involved with making contributions of resources and services to get the project started. Joining him, from left, was Robert G. Wallett, vice president of the Hospice board of directors and building committee chairman; architect Kim Musso; project general manager Ken Musso; previous landowners Suzanne B. and Donald M. Kasprzak; Linda Facteau, registered nurse and Hospice case manager; and engineer Karl T. Weiss. Brooks thanked the Kasprzaks for selling Hospice the property for half of its market value and thanked the other honored guests for making contributions that have well exceeded $125,000 in value. The project is expected to take three to six months to complete. Those interest in making a contribution toward the building project may contact Hospice’s office in Plattsburgh at 561-8465 or in Malone at 483-3200. 66459

Generator From page 1 emergency shelters, it makes a lot of sense.” Though the school is currently designated as a Red Cross shelter, its inability to function in a power outage makes it illequipped for a catastrophic emergency such as what the town experienced during the ice storm of 1998. With a generator, the school would be able to provide shelter for hundreds of residents in its auditorium and gymnasium, and serve food in its cafeteria. Gallagher noted that Westport is one of the few schools in the area that does not have its own source of emergency power.
“The fringe benefit would be that I will never have to send kids home in the middle of the day because of a power outage,” Gallagher said. “That’s happened a number of times.” Other plans in the package include installing electronic key-card access on the school’s 29 exterior doors and remodeling the school’s main entrance to ensure visitors sign in at the office. Both of these initiatives are to put the school in better compliance with federal security requirements. In addition, the school’s tennis courts will be repaired and resurfaced to make them usable for students and community members. Some upgrades to the phone system, including a voice messaging system, are also part of the plan. Though the total cost of the
project is anticipated to be nearly $500,000, the school is eligible for state aid that will pay for roughly 63 percent, bringing the local cost down to $186,000 or less. State EXCEL aid, which is specifically meant to help schools comply with federal security requirements, Gallagher said, will cover about $80,000 of the project. Gallagher estimates the additional tax levy would mean an annual increase of between $1.20 and $3 per $100,000 of assessed value, depending on STAR exemptions. Gallagher said he is continuing to seek both state and federal grants that could potentially lower the cost even more. “If we get the project approved in December, we’re hoping to do the job in August.” Still, not everyone is enthusiastic about the half-million-dol-
lar proposal. Westport resident George King said he and several others are concerned about the timing of the vote. King said taxpayers in Westport are already being asked to support a major project in the form of a multi-million-dollar municipal building that will be used to house school, town, and fire department vehicles, and that adding more expenses could jeopardize both projects. “Right now, this is a luxury,” said King, “and I’m not sure a luxury is needed at this time.” King also expressed concern that the project is apparently being brought forward at a time when there’s a vacancy on the school board. A vote to fill that vacancy, prompted by the resignation of Kathleen Carter-Martinez, will also be on the ballot Dec. 22. Candidates for the position have not yet been announced.
SATURDAY November 21, 2009 “There was no vacancy on the school board when we decided to go ahead with this project,” Gallagher said, noting the board had unanimously approved the idea before CarterMartinez resigned. Gallagher said discussions about adding a generator have been going on since May, and that it’s important to get the proposal passed soon to make the most of outside funding. “I’m afraid that the EXCEL aid may go away at the end of this year,” said Gallagher. “If we delayed it, we might not have those funds available to us.”
Gallagher will be presenting details of the plan at the next town board meeting Nov. 24, and to the Westport Chamber of Commerce Dec. 1. A public information meeting is also scheduled for Dec. 10, 5:30 p.m. in the school library. Gallagher said it’s ultimately up to the voters to decide if the capital project is worthwhile. “When you look at these things, you have to consider cost versus benefit,” said Gallagher. “The benefit to the school children is probably pretty minimal, but the benefit to the community is pretty significant.”

moving me with it.” Eventually, however, Dabiew could hold on no longer, and his grip on the antlers slipped. As he fell backward, he kicked at the deer, causing it to rear up and rake the side of his face with its hooves. Then, Dabiew saw his opening. “After that, he walked a few feet away, stopped and just stood there looking back at me. That gave me time to pull myself into the skid steer. I wasn’t about to stick around for anymore,” he said. Bruised, bloodied and covered in mud, Dabiew used his cell phone to call for help. X-Rays showed no broken bones, but Dabiew was left with cuts and bruises all over his body as well as a gored right hand. “I’m black and blue from head to toe,” he said. A longtime corrections officer at Upstate Correctional, Dabiew said he doesn’t scare easy. “But I knew this thing was trying to kill me,” he said. “That is a feeling you never forget.” Dabiew said he cannot speculate what might of provoked the buck. He said a friend suggested the sound of the wood hitting the inside of the skid steer ’s bucket might have sounded like antlers rattling together. The sound of two bucks fighting often makes a dominant buck aggressive — especially during breeding season, which happens in November in the Adirondacks. While Dabiew said he has never hunted, he said he’ll think twice before going back in the woods unarmed — especially during breeding season. “Who would think that the thing would do something like that,” he said. “That deer was pissed.”
erald Dabiew Jr. said he feels lucky to be alive after a near 20-minute battle with a 10-point buck last Friday during which he was repeatedly slammed to the ground by the powerful animal. “I have never been so scared in all my life,” the 56-yearold said about the harrowing ordeal that transpired near his remote home in Moira — a small community at the northern tip of the Adirondack Park outside Malone. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life,” Dabiew said in a low voice, then added “... and I never want to see it again.” Dabiew said the story unfolded as he was collecting firewood along a log road behind his home. It was early afternoon and clear skies made the job more bearable as he tossed small chunks of wood into the bucket of a skid steer he owns. A lifelong native of Moira, Dabiew said he paid little attention when a large buck crossed the road in front of him. After all, he’d seen plenty of deer in the woods near his home, but the sequence of events that was about to play out was something Dabiew had never seen, or heard of before. “They don’t usually walk right up to you, but this deer was coming right at me,” he recalled. At 30 feet, the buck lowered his antlers and charged. Knocked to the ground and fighting for his life, all Dabiew could think was he had to defend himself or the deer was going to kill him. “So I fought with it. I wrapped my legs around its neck and locked my arms and hands in its horns and squeezed for all I was worth as it pounded me into the ground,” he said. Minutes seemed like hours as the huge buck continuously picked Dabiew’s 230-pound frame up atop its head and slammed him to the ground, driving him into rocks and stumps. Exhausted, Dabiew said it was all he could do to hold on, but he was sure the deer would gore him if he let go and adrenaline kept him battling on. Luckily, Dabiew said he wasn’t the only one getting tired. “He was tired himself, slowing down and breathing heavy,” Dabiew said. “He couldn’t move his head without
