Westport Central School Board of Education will complete their tenure this year, in August, wrapping up final business decisions as the district merges with Elizabethtown and Lewis to create a new school program. Back, left to right, Dr. Suzanne Russell, Jason Welch; in front, from left are Jim Carroll, Alice LaRock and Tom Kohler.
WESTPORT | As the last few meetings of Westport Central School’s Board of Education approach, President Alice LaRock brought a gavel down, for the first time. It was something she hasn’t done in nearly 20 years on the board, where she has served as president since 2004. Hand-carved and polished by board member Tom Kohler, this gavel was a parting gift to honor LaRock for many decades of service to the board plus the 47 years she worked as school secretary, a job she started Sept. 4, 1951. Kohler made the gavel from a large, old sugar maple tree that blew down in his yard during Tropical Storm Irene. He presented it with just a few words last week. “I feel very honored,” LaRock said as the meeting got underway. “I hope I’ve done a good job. I appreciate this more than you’ll ever know.” » Gavel Cont. on pg. 2
CLINTONVILLE | The proposed 2019-20 school budget for AuSable Valley Central School (AVCS) is below the tax levy cap allowance. Projected at $14,168,500, the total tax levy — revenue raised by property taxes — represents a 2.62 percent increase from current spending. The levy cap was set by the state at 2.69 percent. School Superintendent Paul Savage said that at $33,860,944, the total proposed budget is up 2.37 percent. The largest cost increase came with a 13 percent hike in health care insurance, he said. Coupled with a reduction in state aid, budget planning proved challenging this year. “The cost of health care to the district is up over $1,000,000,” Savage said of the health care coverage purchased through the Cooperative Health Insurance Plan, coordinated through Champlain Valley Educational Services (CVES) across 17 school districts.
RETIRING :TIRINGPERSONNEL PERSO
To below the the tax cap, Savage fo stay stay below said, district is d, the the district is not • planning to replace ve teaching •lace fi five teachin~ personnel who are retiring year. ; ring this thi s yea 1 The school will will also alsc apply $680,000 of fund balance to" the th< budget, leaving about $500,000 in reserve. “We are hoping to do better with a few final budget adjustments,” Savage said. But the School Board adopted the proposed spending plan last week. As for AVCS’s approximately $1 million share of the CVES capital project, Savage said the district will address the cost with a bond note next year. “We support the CVES Capital Project wholeheartedly,” he said. “But we were unable to fund it
this year. The BOCES project does not affect this year’s school budget. We will have to secure a bond note by June 2020 to begin payments in June 2021.” CVES budget numbers for the project suggest AVCS taxpayers would see an annual tax impact in a 15-year bond note of $13.43 per year for every $100,000 worth of real property value. But the bond can go out 30 years if the district opts to do so. Estimated tax rates in the proposed 2019-20 spending plan for AVCS would coup about 45 cents per thousand dollars of real property value. Savage estimates the tax rate would be $17.57 per thousand.

Grange volunteers begin Drug take-back restoration at Whitcomb day set yset Ideas ready for launch in new makers’ bay spaces Renovation and repairs at Whitcomb’s Garage, a makers’ space purchased by Whallonsburg Grange Association, got well underway last week with a volunteer work crew of about 30 people. Various rooms were cleared of old equipment, swept and made ready for new drywall and paint. Repairs to secure the roof were completed along with removal of wet wood from the ceilings and walls.
SAFE ROOM
By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER
WHALLONSBURG | A large work crew from the Whallonsburg Grange volunteer pool began renovating the Whitcomb Garage for use by area crafts persons as reclaimed maker space. The official renovation launch began on the first warm day of spring. And it ended with four
large workshop areas cleared of old wet drywall, floors rebuilt, swept and orderly with the roof secured. Whallonsburg Grange Association purchased the building in December intent to renovate for small-business start-ups. And all hands provided a big push forward.
An icon of the hamlet community in Essex, Whitcomb’s operated for decades as a car repair shop and used car sales lot. Many of the old gadgets, shelves, a bag of unused coal for an old potbellied coal stove and one huge Victor combination safe remain in place, marking both a sense of bustling business bygone days and promise for new industry.

The biannual event, held in tandem with other law enforcement agencies nationwide as part of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Drug Take Back Day, is slated for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Kinney Drugs on Court Street in Elizabethtown. Essex County Sheriff David Reynolds told The Sun that the event offers an opportunity for residents to remove unused medication from
their homes, eliminating the possibility of misuse. “In the past we’ve taken tons and tons of unwanted prescription medications off the street,” he said.

» Gavel Cont. from pg. 1 “I’ve learned a lot from you,” board member Jason Welch said, expressing his gratitude. “It’s a lifetime of devotion to a noble cause.”
MEMORIES
As the school moves to create an entirely new district with nearby towns of Elizabethtown and Lewis, these few months seem bittersweet, LaRock told The Sun in an interview after the meeting. Her heels clicked across the marbled floors of Westport’s school through the 1950s, ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and on into the 21st century. “One secretary managed the whole school back then,” she chuckled. “I have seen a lot change.” From July 1977 to July 1998, she served as district clerk as well. An adviser to the cheerleading squad, to Honor Society and a chaperone on senior trips, LaRock stayed involved with school and student activities. A few years ago, she said, a teaching colleague told her they used to wait for her to deliver the announcements. That was back in the days when there was no intercom or speaker system in the school. “She told me, ‘Alice, you know we could hear your footsteps coming down the hall. Some of us got up to make like we were going to the office to pick up the announcements, but we waited, we wanted to see what kind of high heels you had on,’” LaRock laughed. “It’s nice to have these kind of memories,” she reflected.

GAVEL
The retired secretary and longtime school board president graduated from Westport High School and raised three children through the school system here, traveling to work and back each day with them and often on their school trips. “I retired in August 1998 and after taking a few years vacation, I was elected to the school board starting July 1, 2000,” LaRock said. In many ways, her being here has been as solid and polished as the marble that makes the place shine. “It was terrific last night,” LaRock said of the board’s gift and their gratitude for her work. She was the first school employee to be inducted into the Westport Wall of Distinction in 2012. The gavel is inscribed with the year and also names of the current Westport School Board members, the district superintendent and the district clerk. “The gavel is sort of a standing joke. We have one here but it’s loud, We’ve never used it,” LaRock laughed.
‘LOVED EVERY MINUTE’
As the school year slips toward summer break and the district transitions toward new beginnings, the gavel closed April’s 2019 meeting with a soft but solid thump. Moving to build a new district is a promising step, LaRock said. “I hope the future brings something we all helped provide.” As for her tenure, “I’ve loved every minute

of it,” LaRock said. “I’m completing my education come the end of this term. You know it’s going to be bittersweet leaving. The lasting remembrance will be the joy of being part of this school. It has certainly been a privilege and an honor for me,” she said. “For a small school system, we’ve been terrific. And I think everything we’ve done has made a difference in students’ lives and in the community. It’s always amazing to see the outcome once the students set their

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
https://www.research.net/r/160903
The possibility of accidental or intentional misuse isn’t the only reason that drugs should be dropped off with local law enforcement. There are also environmental factors to consider, according to Reynolds. “You don’t want it in your watershed
minds to what they want to do.” As LaRock presided over the April session, the school board approved the Class of 2019 senior trip to Boston, allocating $476 toward transportation costs. The class, the last to graduate from the Westport Central district, will visit Fenway, the aquarium and the Freedom Trail, among other sites in the city. The Junior Class asked the board and was granted permission to hold their junior prom May 11 at the Heritage House, a location off campus across from the historic Ballard Park. ■
— people sometimes flush it, and that’s not the best option. People throw it away in the dump, that’s not the best option,” he said. The DEA will properly dispose of all medication by incinerating it, according to Reynolds. Last year, roughly 1 million pounds of medication was collected at nearly 6,000 drug take back sites around the country, according to the DEA. Since the inception of the biannual event in 2010, the DEA has collected and destroyed more than 9.9 million
pounds of unwanted prescription drugs. Nearly all drugs are accepted. Any syringes should be disposed of at dropbox locations around the county. ■
The biannual Drug Take Back Day will be held April 27 in Elizabethtown and at other locations throughout the county.

» Grange Cont. from pg. 1 The Sun asked Grange Association Vice President Andy Buchanan if they know the combination to the ornate safe, which touts patent dates into the 1800s on an inner door. “We don’t,” he chuckled. The safe weighs hundreds of pounds, if not a thousand, and likely will hold its spot for the time being. “It’s the safe room,” Buchanan grinned.
‘SHARED SPACE’
Joe Becker of Westport plans to use of one big workshop (one of four) with bay doors that face west. A carpentry and construction craftsman, Becker said having such a room will help his business grow. “The limiting factor for me has been having shop space,” he said on renovation day. “And I like the idea of it being shared space, it will bring extra energy to the process. And it’s an awesome location for it, too.” The western bay faces directly toward Sayre Road, a crossroad that encircles open fields and rolling hills stretching toward Lewis. Becker thinks of renewal at Whitcomb Garage as a creative arm of what the grange has already built at the big hall in theater, kitchen and meeting building space the road. Buchanan said that the Whitcomb bays are filled, as interest in available shop rooms spread quickly when they announced the project last winter. “We found several partners willing to put sweat equity into the building,” Buchannan said. “We have interest in a pop-up ice cream stand, maybe also a bar that would open during shows at the grange,” Buchanan said.

“We would place the retail area in the middle. It’s really a community project and will evolve.” Among crafts persons ready to reclaim the garage are woodworkers, metalworkers and MakeBoro, of Essex, with a plan to use the central “office” area with two big pane windows overlooking Route 22 as a retail area. Restoration in coming months will refinish the building’s exterior, removing water damaged wood from the ceilings and equipping interior work bays.
‘INFANTILE STAGE’
Kevin Shaw, part of the MakeBoro organization in Willsboro, is helping develop maker space at Whitcomb’s Garage. The former IGA building in Willsboro, he said, is a longer-term project. And they have a group ready now to establish crafts, metalworking shop and design programming for community events. “It would be a multi-use space for crafts people of all kinds,” Shaw said of the “safe” room, lined as the walls are with tin. “We would use the room for lecture courses and community driven events. We’re at the very infantile stage,” Shaw said. Behind the garage, a flat, open field stretches wide toward the Boquet River. And there the Grange Association hopes to build a play area for children and an open air venue for summer shows. The grange’s Whitcomb Garage Committee will meet in early May to lay out next steps in the renovation plan. The group plans to host a yard sale on Memorial Day Weekend. Shaw and Buchanan encourage makers with ideas needing space for programs or work-related projects to contact them at either the Grange or MakeBoro via email: admin@thegrangehall.info connect@makersguildinc.org ■

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER
As for adding an Essex County Sheriff’s deputy to work as a school resource officer, Savage said AVCS is not going to fund the Essex County resource this year. The school already has SRO services through the Clinton County Sheriff’s Department in an agreement that began in March 2018. No major purchases are planned for the coming school year, Savage said. Teacher’s salaries are in negotiation now. And Civil Service Employees Association personnel would receive a 3 percent pay increase next year if the school budget is approved. Three seats on the AVCS School Board are open, those held by Scott Bombard, Susan Richards and David B. Whitford. All three are running for reelection, and no petitions have been filed by others interested in serving on the board. The school budget public hearing is set for 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 14, at the Middle/High School Auditorium. The school budget vote this year is May 21, and polls will be open at AVCS Middle/High School cafeteria from noon to 9 p.m. ■

HOME IMPROVEMENT V
isitors’ impressions of a home are often dictated by the home’s entryway. Must as one may judge a book by its cover, the same can be said about the impression that a front door and entryway can create, regardless of how accurate that impression is. Making certain changes to an entryway can go a long way toward improving curb appeal. Entryways also can set the scene for a home’s interior. Whether one chooses to be classic or bold, modern or traditional, there are various ways to quickly transform a home’s entryway. BOLD FRONT DOOR COLOR: Color can dramatically enhance an entryway. Painting an existing door or replacing it with a more vivid option can do the trick. The DIY Network says certain colors stand out as favorites. These include turquoise, yellow, red, indigo, orange, and black. The door color should complement the other shades of the home, such as those on siding and trim. CUSTOM WALKWAY: Guide guests right to the front door with an attractive (and safe) walkway. Stamped concrete or decorative paver blocks may fit the bill. This walkway can extend to the street or to the driveway. CONTAIN PLANTS: Landscaping around the entryway should be neat and well-tended. Overgrown plants or shrubbery may give off an air of neglect. Container plants and carefully curated shrubs can create a neat and inviting aura. HIGHLIGHT THE ADDRESS: Make sure the home can be found easily with bold and decorative house numbers. Consider two different address signs: one illuminated and easily viewed from the curb, and another closer to the front door. UTILIZE HIGH-END MATERIALS: The relatively small area of real estate by the front door enables homeowners to splurge on more opulent materials that can really add a feeling of luxury. These can include colorful tiles, ornate planters, decorative wooden doors, or elaborate knobs and lighting fixtures. ADD ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS: Find out which architectural elements will meld with the style of the home and then incorporate them. Moldings, columns, shutters, and trim are areas to consider. ■

Emerging deck trends
C
ustom-built decks can expand usable outdoor entertaining spaces. Decks can surround pools and create outdoor patio areas that make it easy to establish multitiered living spaces, improving the functionality of outdoor areas. Certain deck trends have emerged as industry experts’ top picks for the upcoming remodeling and renovation season. For those thinking of revamping an existing deck, or building an entirely new one, these trends are on point. Established perimeters: “Picture framing” is not a new trend, but one that has taken greater hold in recent years. The term refers to aesthetically appealing designs that conceal the ends of deck boards for a clean finish. Some designs feature contrasting material colors on the ends for even more impact. This helps create refined perimeters for a polished look. Roof-top decking: Urban areas also can benefit from decking to create usable outdoor spaces. In fact, many new condominium and townhouse communities are incorporating roof-top decks into their designs, particularly in communities with water views or other impressive vistas. HGTV experts suggest roof-top decks feature light-colored materials and fixtures to help keep the area
cool even in direct sunlight.
Distressed hardwood: Builder and Developer, a management resource for professional homebuilders, says that the trend for using distressed hardwoods at home has migrated outside. Some decking manufacturers have recently introduced low-maintenance composite deck boards that mimic the look and feel of distressed, rustic hardwood flooring. This weathered appearance gives the look of age without the upkeep of real aged wood. Wooden walkways: Decking can be the more traditional design people envision with a patio table or outdoor furniture. But it also can consist of wooden walkways or a low-laying patio to accentuate the yard. Mixed materials: Homeowners may be inspired by commercial eateries, breweries and urban markets in their exterior design choices. Decks featuring composite materials and aluminum railings blend sophistication, urban appeal and comfort. Personal touches: Homeowners can customize their decks with personal touches. It’s not unheard of to wrap columns in stone or glass tiles for more impact. And a vast array of decking colors now enables fun interpretations for outdoor areas.
Fire pit conversation area: Many decks can incorporate water or fire elements for visual appeal. Gas-fueled fire elements can expand the functionality of decks beyond the warm seasons, or make enjoying them practical on nights when the temperature plummets. Decks are re-imagined in many different ways with continually evolving trends. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline
Emergency services essential to North Country
Community newspapers have traditionally been weekly newspapers that were focused exclusively on local news, sports, features and advertising material.
We’ve taken the best aspects of newspaper models from the past and updated it to meet the needs of the current day reader. While we provide space for commentary on national items that affect us all, we recognize that national and international news is more effectively covered by other media forms using advanced technology.
In place of operating on a 30 percent to 45 percent profit margin as paid daily newspapers once did, we operate on a slimmer, more realistic margin of around 12 percent.
Currently, our ambulatory services have to pay to utilize toll roads, highways and other facilities that require financial compensation before usage. As a result, issues can arise if someone needs transportation from a smaller hospital to a larger one, or if someone needs emergency care
Letters
We must become stewards of humanity
Sadly, it was that high profit that made the dailies targets to investors looking for a cash cow and thus removed local ownership from the equation in many communities, including ours.
Essentially what we have is a three-pronged approach to our business model. Advertisers support our efforts by running ads and fliers in our newspapers. We use those funds to meet the expense of our staff, production and postage cost, while residents make purchases at local merchants, restaurants, service organizations and nonprofits they learn about through the newspaper. It is the microcosm of a bustling, local economy. Pull any one of the three legs out, and the system falls apart. As I noted in the column a few weeks ago, when the community in Missouri lost its newspaper, the residents found out what a valuable asset it was to the local economy for keeping the flow of revenue repeatedly changing hands within the community. As Bill Denton Sr., the founder of our company, penned many years ago; we are more than a newspaper, we are a community service.

Emergency services are an essential part of maintaining a safe and healthy community. We must ensure that we have trained men and women who protect, save, and heal those in need. Our firefighters should not need to be concerned about funding when there are lives on the line.
To the Editor: I live on a dead end road in the town of Horicon. The road has not been paved since the original paving very long ago. This winter, a town truck went through the road. That is how bad it is. We have two sets of culverts that were put in back in the 1970s to replace the two one-lane bridges. Now one of them has gone through, and we have a one-lane bridge. We need some help here. The road is falling apart, and I know there are a lot more roads more important then ours — but really. My mom is 89 and lives at the dead end. It is kind of scary. I know that other people are upset with our roads as well. Not the town highway fault, but someone needs to pay attention to this. - Rena Collard, Adirondack ■
To the Editor: To all but the most obtuse of us, criminal collusion with foreign entities by public servant Trump and his followers is
Submit letters by email to feedback@suncommunitynews.com
As a result, my colleagues and I are advocating for A.201 which will make ambulances exempt from having to pay for such services. This way we can ensure that those in critical care, or in need of emergency responders, can receive it as fast as possible.

clearly evident. Adam Schiff ’s delineation of actual conspiratorial behavior is compelling and deeply troubling. In the Trump-Tower-Meeting episode, felonious intent is undeniable. Then there is the attempt by Trump to hide his passing of classified information to agents of the Russian government within the oval office! Were it not for the Russian media, “We The People” would probably have never known of what can only reasonably be seen as a deliberate ploy to surreptitiously provide aid and comfort to an old and determined adversary. As to more recent events: it is extremely likely that that the next step in Mueller’s Investigation would have been the indictments of Trump’s son and son-in-law. I believe that Attorney General Barr was briefed about this approximately three weeks ago after which the attorney general notified the president who then ordered the investigation to be ended immediately. Th is hypothesis, though conjectural, provides a tenable explanation for Mr Mueller’s very odd behavior during the last few days. Concerning President Trump’s obstruction of justice: the examples are overt, egregious and numerous. - John Maddix, Plattsburgh ■
To the Editor: I wonder what kind of world we are leaving our posterity. Heartfelt concerns over the environment and global warming plea for us to be stewards of the earth, but who is pleading for us to be stewards of humanity? With the governor determined to legalize recreational marijuana, I can see no good that this will provide for our society. As a retired high school teacher, I have seen students come to school “stoned.” I have learned from authorities that marijuana has a half-life of 14 days, affecting learning with its residual effects on attitude and concentration for two weeks. It makes me shudder to think that one day my surgeon, after smoking a joint, may operate on me, or my grandchild’s daycare provider may be high. One police officer shared with my class, years ago when California legalized medical marijuana, that the shops being set up in that state were owned by drug cartels. Isn’t it obvious who stands to benefit when the pleasure of pot just isn’t enough anymore? Legalizing recreational marijuana certainly does not diminish its power as a gateway drug, so I ask again, who is pleading for us to be stewards of humanity? The prospects for a healthy society are quickly disintegrating. The recent deplorable legislation of late-term abortions, which seemed to pass without a whimper, and the promise of legalized recreational marijuana, are amoral decisions which can only harm our society, even while they are falsely touted to financially ease the welfare burden. I feel New York state has sold its soul. It is time that we become stewards of humanity! - Linda Hales, Chestertown ■

This legislation is necessary to make sure that these services can continue to be provided by our local fire departments, keeping the services close to the door of local residents across New York rural communities.
One critical piece of legislation that I have introduced to help our fire departments thrive is assembly bill A.1778. This would allow firefighters and other fire companies to bill insurance companies for emergency services, which they are currently prohibited from doing. Tax payers already pay to ensure emergency
Our business approach is a simple one; provide a free publication delivered by U.S. mail to every household, which is well written, graphically pleasing and focuses on the issues of local concern.

This legislation would allow fire departments to recoup costs for providing emergency services while ensuring that residents would not see an increase in their taxes. If fire departments are unable to recoup these costs, not only could taxes rise, but they may have to rely on private companies to provide emergency care, which often results in lengthy wait times to patients in critical moments.
Despite this, we continue to ask our first responders to add more costs to their operation without any form of compensation. The enormous debt that we owe our first responders cannot go unrecognized. This is why my colleagues and I are creating legislation to support first responders.

services can be provided in their community, however with life saving measures and other healthcare costs continually on the rise, our volunteer fire departments are constantly being asked to do more, with less.

Music of Broadway legend coming to North Country By Arin Burdo • COLUMNIST •
The Pleasant Valley Chorale is proud to present “A Grand Night for Singing,” a program celebrating the music of Broadway composer Richard Rodgers.
Fire refresher Spring has finally knocked on our door. Gazing out my window I see the last remnants of snow — patches of By Richard Redman white in the woods and • COLUMNIST • in the lower pasture. April showers will bring May flowers they say. If we don’t see April rains, we could get drying winds. Drying winds can bring on a forest fire, and that is why there is a burn ban.
“The Sound of Music,” to name just a few. Do not miss this moving program of Broadway classics! The Pleasant Valley Chorale, under the direction of Susan Hughes and accompanied by Kerry Mero, is sponsored by the Elizabethtown Social Center.
Two concerts will feature his music: Friday, April 26, at 7 p.m. at the Essex Community Church, Route 22 in Essex, and again Sunday, April 28, at 3 p.m. at the United Church of Christ in Elizabethtown.
Chorale concerts are always free, with good-will donations accepted at the door.
Funny though, I saw two different people burning brush or last year’s leaves so far this year. I guess they didn’t get the message!
Yoga during the week of April 22 includes Karin DeMuro’s Monday class at 4:15 p.m. and Michael Fergot’s “Yoga: Basics for Wellness” at 9 a.m. Wednesday and Friday.
With more than 900 songs and 43 Broadway musicals, Rodgers was one of the most significant composers of 20th-century American music. He is best known for his songwriting partnerships with the lyricists Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II. His compositions have had a significant impact on popular music.
With springs onset, comes fire refresher class. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Rangers hold fire refresher training throughout the state to get volunteers certified in forest firefighting. Warrensburg is where nearly a dozen of us went this year. It was a beautiful spring day, I could have been fly fishing, but then again, there are priorities.
The Ukulele Society meets Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. On Thursday, April 18, Dr. Emma Summers’ class “Stable and Able” is at 4:15 p.m. Details can be found at elizabethtownsocialcenter.org and on Facebook. Contact the social center at info@elizabethtownsocialcenter.org or 518-873-6408. ■
Musical collaborations with Hart include “Babes in Arms,” “Pal Joey,” “The Boys From Syracuse” and “On Your Toes.” His works with Hammerstein include “Oklahoma,” “Carousel,” “South Pacific,” “The King and I” and
Edwin Robbins of Moreau was there once again. He told the group this would be his last year as a New York state fire warden. He is 75 years old and has served his community and the folks of New York state for 55 years as a fire warden. Thank you for your service, Ed!

Morning people, cat lovers wanted at North Country SPCA This week’s featured pet is LUCAS. Yes, we’ve featured him before, but Lucas is still waiting to find his purr-fect home! By Carla Stroud Lucas is currently en• COLUMNIST • joying the good life in a loving foster home, but he is hoping to find a home that will love him forever. Lucas is a special cat. He is a complete lover. Lucas is handsome, sweet, playful and generally just a great cat. You might wonder why Lucas is still looking for a home. Well, our lovable Lucas had the unfortunate luck of contracting FeLV. Because FeLV is contagious to other cats, he will need to be the only cat and must be an indoor-only cat. FeLV is not contagious to dogs or people, only cats. So, what is FeLV? FeLV stands for feline leukemia virus. As the name implies, it is a viral infection of cats that affects a cat’s immune system. They have weaker immune systems than non-affected cats. FeLV-positive cats can live perfectly happy lives. People who have FeLV-positive cats just need to be aware that those cats may have a shorter life span and that they should be taken to a veterinarian as soon as a problem is noticed. To spend time with Lucas, you would never know that he was any different than any other cat. He is lively, healthy and full of love! If you think Lucas might be the cat for you or to find out more, call the shelter at 518-873-5000 or email info@ncspca.org.

In the past, the fires had to be put out quickly. Today, fire ecologists, foresters and wildlife habitat specialists prefer to let nature do its thing. Fires are part of the natural world, just like floods and ice jams. Fires are disturbance management! Nature comes in and burns forests and this allows new growth to resume: Wildlife benefit. But when it threatens homes or private property, then policy changes, and that’s where we come in. Once the statistics were over, we
went out and looked at the new engine the Department of Environmental Conservation received from the U.S. Forest Service. We checked out the hose reels, 500-gallon water tank, five firefighter capacity seating cab, tools and chain saws, of course. Back inside we then went over the Altona fire that happened last year in Clinton County. More than 500 acres of Jack pine with a blueberry understory burned. One of the largest in this area in years. All because of a campfire someone didn’t take care of. The Altona fire involved numerous departments and volunteer firefighters. It took days to get under control. This was no quickie! Jack pine is a fire dependent specie. They have serotinous cones that open and release the seeds due to the heat of a fire. It is their way of fire dependent reforestation. SUNY Plattsburgh forest ecology professors will have a hay day studying this site. After the Altona presentation, it was back outside for our yearly fire shelter training that comes after we watched the movie on how and when to use the shelter and the new movie on how to fold up the training shelters. For rookies, it’s like stuffing 10 pounds of sausage in a five-pound bag. You learn how to do it right. Out in the yard after a quick run, we had to deploy our shelters in under 20 seconds. The shelters are designed to keep you from becoming a French fry in a fire, but only if used properly and in the right conditions. If not, you cook. Once again, safety first! There were some familiar faces there and a few new ones. A couple of them even took the pack test, carrying 45 pounds three miles in under 45 minutes. It’s mandated by the feds for the firefighters that want to go out of state and fight fires. The course is done for this year, so now it’s time to go fly fishing, until I get that call. ■ - Rich Redman is a Moriah-based outdoors writer. His column runs monthly.

Possible animal cruelty case closed
Did you know that the North Country SPCA has available openings for volunteers! We’re currently looking for volunteers for morning cat care. Morning cat care volunteers are responsible for giving the cats in our cat adoption area love and breakfast and for making sure that their living areas are clean.
By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
WESTPORT | The Essex County Sheriff ’s Office announced recently that officers had closed a case of possible animal cruelty in the Town of Westport. At least one person was issued a citation for littering on public property, a local law violation, after a pregnant mixed-breed dog was found dead in a plastic bag on the side of a road last month, police say. “I appreciate all of the support we have received on Facebook and I have been following the hundreds of comments made in regard to what should be charged and what a punishment should be,” Essex County Sheriff David Reynolds wrote on social media Monday. “I assure you that the sheriff ’s office has charged the appropriate charges on the appropriate people at this time.” The name of the person cited has not been released. Reynolds declined to share the name
Morning cat care is also a great time to assess the cats’ general health and well-being. It’s an opportunity to observe digestive function, appetite, fur condition and general behavior. Our morning cat care volunteers will also tell you that you become friends with the cats you care for! If you’re a morning person and love cats, this might be just the volunteer opportunity for you. Contact the shelter for more information on how to get involved! ■ - Carla Stroud’s weekly column works to publicize the shelter’s adoptable pets. Find out more at ncspca.org.

with The Sun, citing safety concerns in the wake of outrage on social media. Ultimately, the department’s investigation didn’t appear to specifically prove the case to be one of animal abuse. The department declined to spend $1,050 to send the animal — which appeared to be a pitbull-mix — off for a necropsy to determine its cause of death, according to Reynolds.
SOCIAL MEDIA PLAYED PART
On April 8, a message from Reynolds was posted on the department’s social media pages. In it, he thanked the public for their help with the case — but also offered a warning. “We put this on Facebook in the hopes of getting information that would allow us to do our job.

Flood mitigation on Ausable East Branch might reduce ice jams By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER
AUSABLE FORKS | The Town of Jay is working on a rehabilitation plan for the East Branch of the Ausable River that might reduce the severity of Upper Jay ice jams that have grown more threatening in recent years. The town is in the process of deciding how it will spend more than $1 million in flood-prevention aid, which is designed to avoid a repeat of the devastation caused by Hurricane Irene in 2011.
PUBLIC HEARING
At a well-attended public hearing recently, residents were told that engineers and environmental groups have provided the town with a list of more than a dozen potential projects that will help restore the health of the river, making it less prone to flooding and more environmentally friendly. Although many spots on the river need work, engineers and scientists recommended just a handful as being the most feasible and having the greatest positive impact. The town will decide which of these projects to proceed with; it’s hoped the first of the projects will be completed next summer. Citizens who spoke at the meeting clearly favored a proposed project above the 9N bridge in Upper Jay where sheets of ice in the winter choke the riverbed and put those people living below on constant evacuation watch.
SIDE EFFECT

The objective of the Ausable rehabilitation program is not specifically to combat ice jams, but that could be a happy side effect for people who live in the path of thick slabs of unstoppable ice that are capable of substantial property damage. Town board members said that this winter Essex County spent $100,000 to dig a channel through the ice floe with heavy excavating machinery, to avoid a repeat of 2018, when the ice jam suddenly broke free and thundered down the river valley sweeping away everything in its path. The Town of Jay received $1.1 million from the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery last year for the creation of an East Branch Restoration Program. The Ausable River Association organized the team that successfully bid to study and organize the project. Although the initial grant will not fund more than a few of the needed projects, Ausable River
Association executive director Kelley Tucker said she’s optimistic more grant money will be forthcoming. “We can make this happen, I do believe that,” she said. From a hydrological standpoint, the East Branch is unhealthy because it has a number of pitches that are straight, wide, shallow and slow-moving, its flow artificially altered by an industrial past. Healthy rivers are more narrow, with riffles, falls and holes, along with a swift current that efficiently flushes silt downstream.
‘REALLY HARD WINTER’
Along with being more prone to flooding, a sluggish river offers little in the way of habitat for fish, which is also a consideration in the East Branch rehabilitation. And,
still water is quicker to freeze. Tucker asked the audience to compare the East Branch with much of the faster-moving West Branch. “Greater velocity will move out ice and discourage the formation of more ice,” she said. “It’s a really hard winter when Monument Falls (on the West Branch) freezes.” To repair the river, crews will add boulders and berms to the streambed that redirect the current, make the main channel deeper and more narrow and block secondary channels that produce islands. Tucker said the repairs look natural and provide better access to the water. Residents said they wished the work could be done sooner, but were told that a lot of bureaucratic legwork has to take place before the digging can begin. ■
NCCC grows EMT program to meet workforce need Advanced, basic EMT classes offered
SARANAC LAKE | The EMT program at North Country Community College (NCCC) has expanded to include advanced EMT classes to address the need for more EMTs across the North Country. This spring, a total of 31 students are taking advanced EMT classes offered at the college’s Malone and Saranac Lake campuses. This follows the college’s launch last fall of basic EMT classes at all three of its campuses – Malone, Saranac Lake and Ticonderoga. A total of 61 students completed the program in the fall, and most are now either working or volunteering as EMTs in Essex and Franklin counties. “If each agency can pick up a couple more volunteers or paid staff from every EMT class we offer, that will help answer the need for EMS professionals that both Essex and Franklin counties are experiencing,” said Scott Harwood, who serves as Franklin County’s EMS coordinator and is the college’s assistant dean for institutional research & computer support.
The college’s advanced EMT class started in January with nine students at the Saranac Lake campus and 22 in Malone. Harwood said he expects all 31 students to complete the class in May and take the state exam to become certified advanced EMTs. In addition to expanded class offerings, an advanced EMT certificate program for NCCC has been submitted to the state Department of Education for approval. “We think the certificate program will make our students more employable because it includes additional courses like biology, English and math,” Harwood said. “It would also prepare a student significantly better to move on to paramedic or higher-level training.” Basic EMT classes will be offered this fall at all campuses, and plans are also in the works to offer an advanced EMT class in the spring of 2020 for all campuses. “We’ve had a very good turnout, better than expected, in response to the program, and we’ll continue to sustain it and consider expanding it based on feedback and enrollment,” Harwood said. “North Country Community College is one of 30 SUNY community colleges committed to working with businesses and govern-

ment agencies in meeting local gaps in the workforce across the state,” added Steve Tyrell, college president. “This current collaboration between these agencies and the college speaks to the ongoing power of SUNY community colleges’ impact in the state of New York.” For additional information on the college’s EMT classes, email sharwood@nccc.edu or call 518-354-5153. ■

Adirondack Garden Club visits Washington, D.C.
Members advocated for environmentfriendly bills
ELIZABETHTOWN | The Garden Club of America (GCA), founded in 1913, is a volunteer nonprofit organization comprised of 200 clubs and approximately 18,000 members throughout the country. One of these clubs is the Adirondack Garden Club, drawing members from various communities in the Adirondacks. Every year, the GCA National Affairs and Legislative Committee holds a conference for delegates from the various clubs to attend advocacy training in Washington, D.C. Two members of Adirondack Garden Club, Lyn Flyn and Meredith Hanna, attended this training. The first day of the conference was spent learning how to advocate by working with representatives for legislation that supports the environment. The second day, Flyn and Hanna learned about the proposed bills in Congress that the GCA is advocating including: • The Land and Water Conservation Fund that was passed overwhelmingly in both the House and the Senate, This bill permanently reauthorized the
Land and Water Conservation Fund and thus protects millions of acres of land and miles of wild rivers and as well establishes four new monuments. • The Botany Bill encourages the use of native plants in restoration of federal land projects and the hiring of more botanists in federal agencies to help combat invasive species and to improve water quality. Currently there is only one botanist for every 4 million acres of federal land. • The Reviving America Scenic Byways bill which passed in the House revives the dormant National Scenic Byways program designating roadways for protection, limiting billboards and creating scenic corridors. • The Restoring our Parks Act would provide funds to address the backlog of maintenance for roads, trails, visitor centers and basic infrastructure which has been neglected and underfunded in our National Parks. This bill, cosponsored by Rep. Elise Stefanik, has not been passed by the house. On the last day, garden club members met with Rep. Stefanik at her office to apply the advocacy skills they learned by speaking with her about the GCA backed bills. They also thanked her for her support of the Land and Water Conservation Fund. ■

Sports Spring sports off to soggy start before break

Cameron Drake of ELW delivers a pitch to the plate against Chazy in the MVAC opener for both teams April 11. More photos from this game can be found online at mycapture.suncommunitynews.com.
ELIZABETHTOWN | After an endless winter with snow and cold entering into April, several Section VII teams were finally able to get some playing time in outdoors in the week prior to spring break. The Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport (ELW) Griffins were able to start their season in Chazy April 11, where the varsity baseball team suffered a 24-0 loss to the host Eagles while the softball team rallied for a 9-6 win. Sarah Chandler got a pair of hits — including a double — and drove in three RBI for the Griffins, while Brianna Cornwright added a pair of hits and Abbey Schwoebel recorded her first varsity hit and picked up a save in the circle, pitching the final two innings and allowing one run. The Griffins scored three runs in the third and five in the fourth to take a lead they would not give back. Starter Analise Burdo took the win, giving up five runs over the opening five innings of play. Meanwhile, defending MVAC MVP Ben Norcross started out his season perfect, striking out each of the nine batters he faced in Chazy’s 24-0 win over the ELW Griffins Thursday. Traygan Coon completed the no-hitter for the Eagles, pitching the final two innings of play.

Tucker Farms to serve as Bike the Barns start, finish Registration open for event
GABRIELS | Hundreds of cyclists and supporters will gather Sept. 29 at Tucker Farms in Gabriels for the fourthannual Bike the Barns. The fifth-generation family farm, which has been growing potatoes for more than 100 years, will be the start and finish location for the Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) event. Different route options, ranging from about 10 miles to about 75 miles, are available to suit individual riders’ abilities and preferences. Each route will bring cyclists past mountain views and agricultural landscapes and include rest stops at a variety of farms including vegetable, dairy and livestock operations where farmers will lead tours throughout the day. Registration for longer routes costs $60 and includes an event T-shirt, farm tours and lunch and dinner. The shorter, family ride costs $40 and includes farm tours and dinner, and T-shirts can be purchased separately. “We’re looking forward to hosting Bike the Barns. It will be a great opportunity for people to see what Adirondack farms have to offer and how we make a living off the land,” said Tom Tucker, who operates the farm with his brother Steve. ANCA staff developed Bike the Barns in 2016 with a vision to promote North Country farm businesses and the local food movement. Building on the experiences of past events, organizers aim to engage more people each year and introduce participants to a variety of farms and farming practices. Past events, which have grown from about 100 riders and supporters in 2016 to more than 250 participants in 2018, have taken place in the Champlain and Ausable
The fourth-annual Bike the Barns will begin and end at Tucker Farms in Gabriels Sept. 29. Photo provided by ANCA
River Valleys. “This year’s Bike the Barns will introduce riders to farms and families that have adapted to the mountain conditions in the Saranac Lake area,” ANCA Agriculture and Local Economies Director Josh Bakelaar said. The finish line celebration will feature local food and beverages and live music at Tucker Farms. The Great Ad-
irondack Corn Maze, an annual offering at Tucker’s, will be open for participants to explore. Proceeds from Bike the Barns go to ANCA’s FarmShare Fund, which helps support and promote a sustainable and equitable regional food system. For more information about Bike the Barns and the FarmShare Fund or to register for the event, visit adirondack.org/bikethebarns. ■
