GEDDES Ñ ItÕ s a long road to the statehouse in Albany from Westchester County Ñ especially if youÕ re a Republican up against a powerful Democratic incumbent Ñ but gubernatorial hopeful Rob Astorino says heÕ s looking forward to the 60-day sprint after Labor Day that will hopefully see him narrowing Gov. Andrew CuomoÕ s commanding 25-point lead and eking out a victory.

Astorino appeared in this Syracuse suburb on Thursday, Aug. 21 for the opening of the Great New York State Fair, one of the largest in the country and a must for political candidates seeking statewide office. Ò After the summer, people will start paying attention to the race,Ó he told reporters as he prepared to tour the fairgrounds. Ò ThereÕ s a lot of anxiety about the economy and putting food on the table.

ThatÕ s what people are concerned about.Ó Asked about the feasibility of his candidacy, the candidate said he was once 30 points behind in the race for his current position as the Westchester County Executive.

Since the New York Times report on the Moreland Commission ran last month Ñ a plutonium-grade bombshell that alleged a top Cuomo aide put the boots to an investigation of a political ally before Cuomo disbanded the investigation altogether on the pretense that since it was his, he could do what he wanted with it Ñ Astorino has made the emerging story a centerpiece of his campaign.

Asked by a reporter if the slow-burning scandal had salience to the average voter, the candidate said he thought it should: CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Social Center turns 75 next month Center has given local teens a place to hang out since 1939

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ In the heart of Elizabethtown, within earshot of the bubbling banks of the Boquet River, is a special place.

On Sept. 20, the Elizabethtown Social Center (ESC) will celebrate 75 years of giving teens a place of their own. Ò ItÕ s really a community center with a teen program,Ó said ESC Executive Director Arin Burdo. Ò ItÕ s open to everyone.Ó The facility was made possible through a trust left by Cora Putnam Hale, an Elizabethtown resident who had her fingers in a cornucopia of civic duties during her long life Ñ Red Cross bandage roller, creative booster, volunteer extraordinaire.

Modern-day residents are offered a daily reminder of her largess every hour, on the hour, as the bells on the Congregational Church toll.

She bankrolled their perpetual upkeep.

Burdo said the 75th anniversary celebrations, including live music, athletic events and tasty treats, may become a permanent fixture if proven to be successful. Ò We currently donÕ t have a dialogue to honor her and the tremendous gift she gave the community.Ó Putnam, who was married to another boldfaced local name, Harry Hale, also left numerous trusts to people in the community who worked with her.

Founded in 1939, Putnam’s vision for the community is still operational … and flourishing.

Burdo called it phenomenal. Ò It speaks very highly of the people who have served ESC over the years, fiscally conservative and using that money with integrity.Ó

The lifelong Elizabethtown resident said the financial security provided by the trust means the center, which is governed by a board, can focus their attention on serving the community instead of continuous fundraising efforts that may distract from their mission. Ò Most communities would love to have something like this,Ó said Burdo.

Sports have remained a popular activity over the years. Now, zumba, billiards and a new game called pickleball have emerged as modern favorites.

One of the first activities at the center was square dancing, a folksy tradition that will be featured prominently in their anniversary celebrations. Ò Dances have always been a big part of the collective memory,Ó said Burdo.

And of course, thereÕ s gagaball, dodgeballÕ s safer, pit-dwelling cousin. Ò I hear different rumors of where it came from,Ó said Burdo. Ò It was originally a camp game.Ó ESC is also mobile through the sponsorship and organization of field trips, a welcome safety net in an era when school districts are shaving their curriculum down to the bone as a result of fiscal shortcomings.

In October, the facility will escort Elizabethtown-Lewis Central juniors and seniors to New York City to catch Ò Newsies,Ó a Broadway musical.

Burdo, citing an old letter she found in the back of a filing cabinet, said cataloging ESCÕ s heritage is a relatively new undertaking.

“Seventy-five years is a funny time. Up until now, I don’t think people have really thought of preserving their history.Ó The director said it was important to honor those who have gone before, including the 30-some-odd directors that preceded her. Those include Bob and Carole Harsh, the couple who started the popular road race 35 years ago. Ò They still leave an imprint,Ó she said.

tÕ s unbelievable that we are planning Labor Day Weekend! How did the summer fly by so fast. If you’re traveling, please stay safe. No matter what your mode of transportation, enjoy the weekend.

Since itÕ s the last Sunday in August, make sure you go to the Lewis Fire Department Ox Roast, their primary annual fundraiser. Come out to enjoy a scrumptious roast beef dinner complete with mashed potatoes and gravy, clam chowder, corn on the cob, dessert and beverage (although soda is extra). The cost of this delicious meal is adults $12, $5 for children under age 12 and under 5 is free. Take-out begins at 12 noon until 1 p.m, while eat-in begins at 1 p.m until 5 p.m.

If you havenÕ t had the opportunity to visit the Adirondack History Center Museum this summer, there is still time Ñ they close October 13. One of this yearÕ s new exhibits is Ò Grace Hudowalski: The Mountains We Climb.Ó View the artifacts from the 46erÕ s Club founded by Grace, the first woman to climb all 46 of the High Peaks.

Another interesting exhibit is part of the 60th anniversary of the Ò Land of Makebelieve,Ó the work of Arto Monaco who created the early

his Saturday evening, on Aug. 30, the Whallonsburg Grange will presents Long Time Courting, a group of four Boston-based women who specialize in Celtic and neo-traditional Irish, Scottish and American music. All four are involved in numerous musical enterprises and are acclaimed for both their playing and harmonizing. The show begins at 7:30 and admission is $10.

Looking ahead, on the following Saturday, Sept. 7, the Grange will host its annual harvest festival from 1 p.m to 5 p.m with food, games and, of course, the famous squirting fire trucks.

Admission is only $6 and includes the cook-out.

The menu is a subject of great interest, but as always, Chef Jeremy is keeping tight-lipped about his plans. However, you can be sure the vegetables will be from local farms, and grilled sausages, a Whallonsburg tradition, will be featured prominently.

The town clerk mailed out green cards last week asking if you own a dog. HeÕ s conducting a town-wide dog enumeration and is seeking

his seasonÕ s second production in the Westport Shakespeare-in-the-Park Festival, Ò LoveÕ s Labours Lost,Ó will take place in its accustomed time slot, the Sunday of Labor Day weekend at 3 p.m.

As always, itÕ s free and open to the public, so we invite you to bring a blanket or folding chair down to the Performance Pavilion in Ballard Park and enjoy Shakespeare in this beautiful outdoor setting overlooking Lake Champlain.

The first show in the festival, you may recall, is produced by the Depot Theatre Apprentice Program in early August and features student actors (this year, they offered a very lively Ò Twelfth NightÓ ).

Just as the first show has offered young actors an in-depth introduction to performing Shakespeare, the second has brought the ensemble players of American Studio Theater together for an end-of-summer working Ò reunionÓ that culminates in the Ballard Park production on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. Many of them studied acting together in college and graduate school and have gone on to professional careers in New York City or Los Angeles. This has become a chance to reconnect, and to bring new talent into their group. ItÕ s also worked out very nicely for us, too! (See the article this issue of the paper for more background.)

Directed for us by Dan Billet, Ò LoveÕ s Labours LostÓ is one of ShakespeareÕ s earliest plays and one of his funniest comedies. The King of Navarre and his three best buds have sworn off women for three years, during which

amusement park of that name in 1954. Over 600 artifacts are displayed, including a playful prototype of R2-D2 of Ò Star WarsÓ fame made by Arto Monaco.

The third exhibit is the celebration of the Ò 60th Anniversary of the Essex County Historical SocietyÓ by Marjorie Lansing with historical facts from the past. The Museum is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Cost is adults $5.00, seniors $4.00, students $2.00 and children under six are free. For more details or information, visit their website at adkhistorycenter.org or call 873-6466.

The Otis Mountain Get Down is back from Sept. 12-14. ThereÕ s still time to get your tickets online at otismountain.com. Cost is $30.00 for a weekend of music: listen to over 20 bands, food, vendors and family activities. Children under 12 are free.

Planning ahead, the Elizabethtown Thrift Shop announced their next collection day is Saturday, Sept. 27 at the UCC parish hall from 10 a.m until 12 noon. They are accepting clean, well-kept household items, linens and, especially, winter clothes Ñ most importantly, toddler-size childrenÕ s clothes.

T

he NCSPCA would like to report that the Antique & Tag Sale at the Whallonsburg Grange this past Saturday was a resounding success! There was an amazing number of donated goods for sale and many smiling faces on our visitors who found interesting treasures and unique creations. All proceeds went to help our furry friends at the North Country SCPA while they wait for their forever homes.

We would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time or donated items for this event: without your efforts, fundraisers like these would not exist. We are also thrilled to report that tuxedo kitten Jackson, who was recently featured, has gone to his forever home!

Our featured pet this week is Bella, a Labrador Retriever-Hound mix who came in with her six puppies in terrible shape. Both she and the pups were infested with fleas and intestinal parasites and were extremely underweight. We now have this beautiful lady well on the road to recovery.

Bella has gained weight and her chocolate coat has regained a healthy sheen. Sweet BellaÕ s pups are on their way to new homes, and she

A friend recently came upon a roadkilled rattlesnake on Lake Shore Road. When I was working in southern CaliforniaÕ s Mojave Desert, which is home to many rattlers, my boss warned me to be very careful if I ran over a snake and then got a flat tire. It seems snake fangs can puncture tires and if you arenÕ t careful handling the tire, you can scratch yourself on a fang and receive a dose of venom.

Although yard sales and tag sales generally hold no appeal to me, Ginny and I went to the North Country SPCAÕ s sale last Saturday at the Whallonsburg Grange. We like to support the SPCA and found the merchandise to be of very high quality, but Ginny allowed me only one pass through the hall before she wanted to leave.

SheÕ s polite, but likes crowds even less than I do.

Right.

t is hard to realize that the heart of our summer is fast coming to a close, as Labor Day is only a few days away as you read this column.

We think that our summer is from Memorial Day to Labor Day then it is time to get back into our regular schedule of our lives. It has been sad that we did not get any volunteers for the Adsit Cabin this year and thus it never did open this summer.

Thanks to a very busy person. Charlie Lustig on call has gone down on request to let people get inside. He did this for a family this past week and sad that things inside were not really set up in the regular order. As a community, we are most grateful for his much-donated volunteer time between the museum and VisitorÕ s Center every week all season.

The special program Ò Music By The RiverÓ this past weekend was well-received and those in attendance truly enjoyed the event. They also enjoyed the special foods that the youth prepared and sold.

Hope you keep the date of Sept. 3 in your plans to attend the public supper put on by the Methodist Church starting at 4:30 p.m, serving meatloaf, another of their great offerings. These meals can be enjoyed in-house or by take out. Call ahead to 963-8912 to order prior to the day of the supper.

The cost is $9 for adults and $5 for children We learned that our local pharmacy was robbed this past week. Never quite sure how those involved feel they will get away with it, as they will be recorded on film.

Kathy L. Wilcox • 873-5000

Bella is now ready to find a special place for herself where she will be loved and appreciated. Bella has a gentle, quiet temperament and is just barely out of Ò puppyhoodÓ herself; she is just a little over a year old. We believe that this girl will make someone a terrific, loyal companion for many years to come. Please stop by and check out Bella.

Kyle Page • kmpage1217@charter.net DonÕ t forget to visit the ongoing Art Exhibit and sale at the Keeseville Free Library. This is a multimedia event with great art by quite a few local artisans. This is your chance to get unqiue art at great process while supporting local artists.

The Farmer’s Market will be winding down before you know it, so if you havenÕ t taken advantage of the great locally grown produce and meats, as well as arts and crafts, now is the time.

There are great vegetables and meats as well as wine and crafts including pottery, woodwork and photography. Always something for anyone at very reasonable prices available Wednesdays from 10 a.m ‘til 2 p.m behind Front Street on the bank of the Ausable River in downtown Keeseville.

The North Star Underground Railroad Museum is still open seven days a week from 9 a.m until 5 p.m.

Have a safe and fun week.

Janice Allen • 963-8912 • allens@willex.com It is always sad to start saying our goodbyes to many of our summer residents as they are starting to depart and this will be going on now for several more weeks.

If the winter goes as fast as the summer seemed to, this will make your return just a little way down the road.

DonÕ t forget to sign up the young children for the library pre-school story time that will be starting soon. Reading is so important to share and encourage our young minds to have the advantage of as early as possible. Reminder to watch for school buses as they pick up the children.

Happy Birthday to: Makayla Young (Aug. 30), Janice Sayward (Aug. 31), Sheila Vanags and Cindy Flanagan (Aug. 31), Vicki Dickerson (Aug. 31), Stephanie Strong (Sept. 1), Tara Robare (Sept. 1), Janice Allen (Sept. 3), James Hotaling (Sept. 4) and Donna Crowningshield (Sept. 5).

Love’s Labours Lost on tap

Woolf stumps for Social Security, Medicare in Willsboro

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com

‘DEFEND, NOT CHANGE’ On Tuesday, the candidate said he was buoyed by recent indicators that Social Security was projected to stay solvent an additional four years past its predicted expiration date, until 2030. Ò My position is to defend while my opponent intends on changing the system Ñ she wants to modernize it, to Ô voucherizeÕ it,Ó said Woolf.

He said Stefanik, who he did not mention by name, co-authored the 2012 Republican Party platform that would create a voucher system. Ò This is essentially privatization,Ó said Woolf. Ò ItÕ s important for her to defend that position.Ó Stefanik, a former White House aide who lives in Willsboro, has previously called for a closer look at Medicare as younger workers start paying into the system.

The candidate has called for a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, arguing rising costs and premiums hurt small business owners and drive up costs. Ò Elise has said numerous times she will not change Medicare for those at or near retirement, and will fight to protect this important entitlement for New York seniors,Ó said Charlotte Guyett, a spokesperson for the Stefanik campaign, in an email on Tuesday. Ò We know Medicare in its current state will be insolvent in 20 years,Ó said Guyett. Ò And while Aaron Woolf continues to peddle false accusations and film his campaign documentary, Elise has been traveling the district for over a year talking to voters about real solutions that will help ensure programs, like Medicare, are here

for future generations.Ó On Tuesday, Owens called the argument that some provisions included in the Affordable Care Act stripped $716 billion of funds from Medicare Advantage, and subsequently, would lead to a $1,500 reduction in benefits per person when the provisions are scheduled to go into effect next year, a myth. Ò ItÕ s a false premise and completely inaccurate,Ó he said. Ò This is actually money taken from insurance companies, those services are still being provided.Ó The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) originally proposed a 1.9 percent cut to private plans, said Woolf campaign spokesman Yianni Varonis. But CMS has since reversed its decision after reconsidering cost projections. Now, CMS will increase payments to insurers in the program by .4 percent (on average) in 2015 Ñ slightly higher than what insurers had requested.

Woolf hedged on if the decision to use Willsboro as a staging area for his attacks was a strategic decision. Ò Willsboro is a place IÕ ve been coming to since I was a kid,Ó he said.

CENTERPIECE TuesdayÕ s tour marks the sixth time Owens has campaigned with Woolf and the most recent event in the DemocratÕ s push to make Social Security a defining issue in the campaign.

Last week, on the heels of the 79th anniversary of Social Security being signed into law, Woolf stumped in Plattsburgh with Ward 1 Plattsburgh Councillor Rachelle Armstrong, who endorsed him, deeming the Elizabethtown resident Ò a good man and a man of his word.Ó On Monday night, WoolfÕ s campaign rolled out a list of high-powered endorsements from a half-dozen officials in Franklin County, including Legislature Chair Billy Jones. Ò Aaron Woolf is a person that knows the issues of the North Country,Ó he said in a news release. Ò I agree with many of his principles, especially his fight against privatizing social security. We donÕ t need Washington impressing their issues and principles upon us. We need someone to take our issues and principles of the North Country to Washington and Aaron is the person to do that.Ó

Ô RUNNING ON THE ISSUESÕ Woolf, answering a question from a reporter on his campaign’s first television ad — last weekÕ s 30-second spot that painted him as the bipartisan heir to Owens Ñ stressed the virtues of moderation in a dynamic district: Ò IÕ m going to follow in the footsteps of leaders like [former Congressman] John McHugh and Congressman Owens, very thoughtful people who run on the issues,Ó he said.

Woolf cited past bipartisan work, including last yearÕ s Go Digital or Go Dark campaign that assisted local cinemas in making the switch to digital projection with financial and logistical assistance.

Owens said issues in the district tended to be intensely local and personal. To be a good representative, he said, Woolf needed to focus on facilitating deep and meaningful relationships with constituents.

YOU CAN’T ESCAPE THE BUYS IN THE CLASSIFIEDS! 1-518-873-6368 Ext. 201 64694

WILLSBORO Ñ Aaron Woolf, the Democratic candidate for New YorkÕ s 21st Congessional District, took his campaign to preserve Medicare and Social Security behind enemy lines this morning with an appearance in Willsboro, a stronghold of his Republican opponent, Elise Stefanik.

In a brief visit, Woolf toured the Champlain Valley Senior Community and exchanged homespun anecdotes with residents alongside Congressman Bill Owens, the incumbent from Plattsburgh who is retiring at the end of his term. Ò IÕ m here to secure Social Security for the future,Ó Woolf told assembled reporters after the tour through the converted schoolhouse. Ò Defending the system is a centerpiece of my campaign.Ó Woolf said Medicare was an Ò incredibly strongÓ program that requires a strong stance.

In a news release last week, Woolf said the Ò three legged stoolÓ that seniors were promised would ensure financial security for every American — savings, a defined pension plan and Social Security Ñ had become a one-legged stool.

Ò What Aaron is doing now is going out there and listening so people get to know him,Ó he said.

Owens called efforts on the other end of the political spectrum Ñ including tonightÕ s fundraiser in Tupper Lake for Stefanik with Republican National Congressional Committee (NRCC) chair Greg Walden and New York Republican Party Chair Ed Cox Ñ Ò irrelevantÓ to the issues facing voters on the ground.

Asked about last weekÕ s NRCC advert that said, Ò Aaron Woolf is no Bill Owens,Ó the Congressman laughed: Ò ItÕ s interesting that the NRCC suddenly likes me,Ó he said, Ò when they once tried to beat me.Ó In response to a reporterÕ s question, Owens admitted he was embarrassed by the partisan gridlock that led to the 2013-2014 Congress being deemed an inept body that managed to pass the least amount of bills in living memory. Ò I like to go to work and get things done,Ó he said.

The two-term rep said crafting and passing major legislation was only one aspect of the job.

The other, he said, was helping constituents on the ground with day-to-day concerns Ñ like Social Security. Ò You just do your job to the extent that the Republican majority will allow you to do and then do what you can on the ground.Ó

A board of legislators: We deserve a study

A

year ago Denton Publications ran a handful of articles shining a light on the pros and cons of a county board of supervisors versus a board of legislators.

We then took a stand in this column, advocating for the latter. Since no discussion or study has transpired on the subject, we feel it is again time to encourage the Essex County Board of Supervisors to disband in favor of a board of legislators.

And here is why: It will save taxpayers thousands.

By our estimate, the move would easily save county and town taxpayers a minimum of $500,000 annually.

It would also provide residents representation at the county who have no other interest other than county business.

The board also would no longer be ruled by the weighted voting power of the Ò big threeÓ Ñ the towns of Ticonderoga Moriah and North Elba Ñ no legislator would have more voting power than any other.

That would effectively erase the current squabbling over whatÕ s in the best interest of one town, replacing it with what is in the best interest of the people in a particular district and the county as a whole.

Legislators could focus on county business, time would not be lost on bringing people up to speed on county issues and time management would certainly improve.

Seven people sitting around a boardroom table with an equal vote and no outside agenda would most certainly get more accomplished than 18 with a foot in more than one camp.

Perhaps that is why more than 70 percent of the counties in New York have already gone the way of a board of legislators.

A board of legislators is a more efficient, more accountable form of county government.

All you have to do is compare Essex County with nearby Franklin County — which switched to a seven-member board of legislators in 1970 Ñ to quickly see the tremendous cost savings, both on the town and county level.

On the town level, the average annual salary for a part-time supervisor in Franklin County last year was $10,735. Only one supervisor, in Harrietstown, was offered health insurance.

In Essex County, on the other hand, the average annual salary last year for a town supervisor was $28,666, while 14 of 18 were offered health insurance.

That means Essex CountyÕ s 18 supervisors made $312,000 more in 2013 than Franklin

County’s 19 part-time supervisors.

Then, at the county level, the seven members of the Franklin County Board of Legislators made $108,000 last year compared to $319,137 in Essex County Ñ a difference of $211,137.

Combine those two numbers and Essex CountyÕ s 18 supervisors cost more than half a million dollars more last year than Franklin County’s 19 supervisors and 7 legislators, with 12,000 less residents. Franklin County has 51,579 residents compared to Essex County’s 39,302.

Add to that the cost of benefits both at the town and county for 18 people and the final tally no doubt pushes that number closer to $1 million annually.

WeÕ ve heard the arguments in favor of a board of supervisors. Some believe the constituent service is better with a full-time, accessible town supervisor and officials argue that the county interaction with towns is better under the current governing body.

But as a taxpayer, you have to ask yourself: Is it worth a million dollars more out of pocket each year?

Under a board of legislators, each town would still be represented locally by a part-time supervisor, as well as a town board. Residents would still be represented by a legislator at the county level.

Better representation for less money, if you ask us.

But donÕ t take our word for it Ñ ask the 44 counties in New York that are already under a legislative form of government. Ask them if they miss the cost and bickering associated with a board of supervisors and a weighted vote.

Making both the legislator and supervisor positions part-time also would open them to a different slate of candidates like people who might like to serve but are unable to do so in a full-time capacity.

Local government truly began to go awry when elected positions evolved into an occupation instead of an opportunity to serve a community.

Our supervisors should keep that in mind, and be open-minded enough to publicly discuss the subject of a board of legislators, and then commission a study to determine if that method of government would come with the kind of tax savings we feel it will.

We, as taxpayers, deserve to know once and for all. ÑD

Letters to the Editor

Here we go again

Thank you!

To the Editor:

To the Editor:

Here we go again: First touting arts and crafts would attract tourists to Westport, added Champlain Trails, Rolling Hills and the Polo Grounds.

All promised by promoters that visitors would beat a path to Westport (my spin on their words), money spent, businesses thrive, many employed.

Now Historic Designation, working through SHPO, would solve the financial problems of Westport to ensure a viable community year-round.

Chasing our tail, again?

Our time and treasure would be better spent enticing new business that produced product year-round, a step up from cottage industries very much compatible with tourism and the second-home industries that bring in sales (and money) 12 months of the year. It takes thought, but it can be done if the people of our community are committed.

Alcohol smoking a new risk to youth

S

moking alcohol is a dangerous practice for any one and may be even more risky for young people. An impressive body of medical research has established that the adolescent brain is not yet fully developed and is especially vulnerable to the effects of drugs and alcohol.

The mechanism for smoking alcohol presents additional risk because when alcohol is drank, it must be processed

By Scot Hurlburt by the digestive system and the liver in the body and the alcohol affect is somewhat diminished by these processes.

When alcohol is smoked, its affects are immediate as the alcohol goes directly from the lungs to the brain. So rapid is the effect that people become intoxicated very quickly.

In addition, it is difficult for the consumer to know just how much alcohol they are consuming as the alcohol is turned into a vapor.

Kids Count

The members of the Westport Heritage House and Festival Committees would like to express our thanks to the many volunteers who helped to make the 2014 Westport Festival a success. This event would not happen without the volunteers, both behind the scene and in front, for the dayÕ s activities. Everyone is greatly appreciated for their part in making this fundraiser for the Heritage House a success.

Golf tourney a success To the Editor: The Ninth Annual Brian T. Carpenter Memorial Golf Tournament was hosted at the Moriah Country Club on Saturday, Aug. 2. The enthusiasm and support of all involved made this a fun When alcohol is drunk, the body has a line of defense called vomiting if too much alcohol is consumed this defense mechanism is nullified when someone smokes alcohol as they will not vomit while smoking alcohol.

For some people, especially young and inexperienced people, the threat from alcohol poisoning while smoking alcohol is extremely high.

Smoking alcohol fits the needs of young people better than drinking it in a variety of ways. Most young people, especially underage drinkers, do not have the opportunity to hang around their parentsÕ house getting drunk while mom and dad are cooking dinner or watching television.

Rather, they must hide their alcohol use and must consume as much alcohol as possible in a brief period of time. Smoking alcohol fits these purposes very well. It is not my intention to describe the processes by which alcohol is smoked so young people can utilize these processes to get drunk, but rather to make parents and guardians aware of these processes so that they can be aware of the materials and equipment needed to smoke alcohol.

One manner of smoking alcohol is to put dry ice in a thermos and to then pour alcohol in the thermos which creates a vapor that is inhaled.

Another method involves alcohol in a bottle with a cork into which a bicycle pump is inserted. The pressure then creates a vapor that is inhaled.

A third method involves heating alcohol to the point where a steam comes off the alcohol. Another product is legally sold in the United Sates surprisingly, called the Ò VaportiniÓ which

and fabulous success. Proceeds from the golf portion of the event go towards funding of the Brian T. Carpenter Memorial Scholarship for Moriah Central School. The scholarship recipient for 2014 was Dylan Scozzafava. Proceeds from the Basket Raffle/ Chinese Auction and 50/50 go to support the Lake Champlain Memorial Garden and Angel of Hope in Port Henry, NY. EveryoneÕ s participation is a great tribute to BrianÕ s memory. We thank you all for your support.

This event is successful each year due to the help of all who volunteer before and during the tournament and because of the generosity of those businesses and community members who donate to the raffles. Thanks also to those who donate to the BTC Memorial Fund throughout the year. So many are actively involved in this event, that we cannot list them all hereÑ know that your dedication, support, and generosity touch us deeply and we are very grateful.

Congratulations to all the Tournament Winners and Raffle Winners! We hope a good time was had by all! See you next year!

creates an alcohol vapor that is inhaled.

As America goes deeper into an epidemic of obesity, weight conscious young people who are very concerned about their image are assuming that smoking alcohol will remove all of the calories associated with drinking alcohol.

This is, of course, incorrect as the calories of the alcohol are still being absorbed by the body. The only calorie savings would be any liquid used to mix with drink that would be eliminated by smoking alcohol.

Because so little is known about the effects of smoking alcohol, there is no definitive health warning about this obviously dangerous practice, if this practice becomes widespread and popular enough among young people perhaps the issue will arise and be identified.

What we do know is that smoking alcohol is very dangerous for its rapid impact, its potential for alcohol poisoning and or death and the potential for harm to young people while they are becoming rapidly intoxicated in a world where there are automobiles, ATVs, swimming pools, unethical people and an array of other risks that young people will encounter while heavily intoxicated.

So far, groups of concerned parents have been able to quash other obviously dangerous risks to young people in America.

Hopefully smoking alcohol will also be pushed to an irrelevant sideline and ruled as an illegal practice.

For now, parents and guardians should sit down with their children to discuss the dangers of smoking alcohol. Remember, all kids count.

Demands for rail safety coalesce at W’burgh Grange forum

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com WHALLONSBURG Ñ The people-powered movement to address the increase in oil tankers gliding through the Champlain Valley region gained momentum on Tuesday, Aug. 19 when 90 stakeholders assembled at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall to discuss an issue that has now become unavoidable.

Tankers of crude from North Dakota are moving through the region at an accelerated clip, up from virtually nothing four years ago. They’re heading to a refinery at the Port of Albany, where the volatile oil is processed and shipped down the Hudson River.

Some of the cars are DOT-111 tankers, a rupture-prone older model that the Canadian government recently ordered to be phased out within the next two years.

The federal government is currently weighing their options

The rail transport of Bakken crude oil from North Dakota has surged from almost nothing four years ago to 800,000 barrels per day. Pictured here Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava addresses the group.

for a similar measure. Their decision is expected to be handed down shortly.

Essex County residents, public officials and emergency responders have been increasingly assertive in staying abreast of the situation, an issue that has been brought into sharper focus after an unattended chain of tankers rolled seven miles down a hill in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, last summer before exploding and killing 47 people.

Municipal governments across the North Country are examining local emergency response capacity in the event of mishaps; theyÕ re requesting cargo manifests, reviewing evacuation protocols and fine-tuning their relationship with Canadian Pacific (CP), the rail company tasked with shipping the volatile cargo through some of the most challenging terrain in the country.

And theyÕ re holding public forums.

GRASSROOTS MEASURES Ò Such solutions lie in such gatherings,Ó said Plattsburgh City Councilor Rachelle Armstrong, addressing the crowd that filled the Grange to capacity.

Armstrong said discussions with Ò feisty seniorsÓ at the Lake Forest Senior Living Community initially tipped her off to the increase in rail traffic. Ò They lived 100 yards from the tracks where CP ran trains,Ó she said. Ò They said to me, Ô What do we do?Õ I told them didnÕ t have the answers, but pledged to look into it.Ó Armstrong, a progressive political neophyte who took office earlier this year, said civic activism undertaken by ordinary people was the keystone to her entry into public service. Grassroots efforts and networking are needed, she said, to draw attention to public officials that oil freight is a “problem” that needs to be addressed.

She cited resolutions passed by municipal authorities in Spokane, Berkeley, Oakland and Portland as examples that needed to be emulated.

The Oakland City Council, for example, recently backed a res-

olution opposing the use of the cityÕ s rail lines to transport crude.

But it since railroads are federally regulated, the measure is toothless.

Armstrong said itÕ s a moot point because the measure resulted in public scrutiny that might lead to pressure on the federal regulators in the run-up to their hotly-anticipated verdict. Ò The local governments understood they had no jurisdiction to affect change,Ó she said. Ò But itÕ s a statement. You may agree or disagree with these, but it shows people can play an active role.Ó A proposed Plattsburgh City Council task force was tabled in favor of an intra-country approach, she said. Ò And thatÕ s where we are today.Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said Essex County has been at the forefront of demanding information from CP, who are legally required to ship freight from Global Partners, the company that owns the tankers and their contents, as part of federal common carrier statutes. Ò We put the hard questions to them,Ó he said, referring to a public meeting with CP officials in March. “The bottom line is you have to have regulations. The county can do plenty, but you also have to work at the local level.Ó Scozzafava cited work with the Port Henry Fire Department and urged attendees to push for meetings with their local departments to discuss emergency response strategies. The next handson training drill is slated to be held on Sept. 24.

The trains, which often carry up to 120 cars, are required to cross state intersections within five minutes. Extending that timeframe to 10 might result in a slowdown, a measure Scozzafava said could boost safety.

DEFANGED Brian Mann, the North Country Public Radio Adirondack Bureau Chief who was invited to speak at the forum, said the debate on rail safety goes beyond whatÕ s happening in the North Country.

While the country has put themselves back in the energy-producing business — the North Dakota oil fields are booming as a result of new extraction techniques, a national push towards energy independence and the discoveries of shale gas reserves Ñ regulative efforts havenÕ t caught up.

The trend of deregulation in the industry has left regulatory agencies powerless and understaffed, he said. Regulatory agents dispatched to monitor the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in Gulf of Mexico in 2010, for instance, didnÕ t have the expertise to be effectively tackle the problem even after they appeared on the scene, he said. Ò This isnÕ t about if should there be trains or not, but rather ensuring safety and regulatory standards,Ó he said, calling for what he referred to as a respectable and ethical middle ground. Ò We need oil, but we need to make sure the safety infrastructure is in place because the world has changed.Ó

Cabela’s, Bass Tracker, LL Bean: Sporting scenes in the Adirondacks

I

recently received a phone call from an old friend who wanted to know if I could help him arrange to get a wild turkey for use as a prop in a photo shoot that was to be produced in the area.

Although IÔ ve often arranged props for a variety of fashion shoots over the years, IÕ ve never received a request for a live, wild turkey.

I have however, arranged for shots of Wild Turkey; but generally it occurred in a bar room setting.

The production in question was being hosted in and around Wilmington, Lake Placid and the surrounding area and it featured outdoor sporting scenes in the woods, waters and fields of the local area for an upcoming CabelaÕ s Catalog.

It was not the only production shoot to visit the region in recently. In fact, there have been numerous production projects hosted in the Adirondack region over the years, as evidenced by the recent release of another in the series of Mutant Teenage Ninja Turtles motion pictures that was actually filmed in Tupper Lake.

The annual LL Bean Fall and Winter catalogs have been produced in the region for the past four years, with Adirondack scenes dominating the production.

The lakes and mountains, forests and streams have long provided a backdrop for a wide variety of motion pictures, television productions as well as numerous catalog and fashion shoots.

In 2003, Sports Illustrated magazine used the Adirondack backstop for their annual 40th Anniversary Swimsuit Issue, which soon earned fame as the largest single selling publication in the world at the time.

Although there are a number of catalog productions that prefer to utilize the region during the summer high season; the vast majority of the shoots are typically conducted during the spring and fall.

In fact, the slower tourism months are ideal for many production projects, since it so easy to manipulate the season in the Adirondacks.

Astorino

From page 1 ÒI t strikes right at the very heart of the state,Ó he said. ÒI tÕ s the reason why people are leaving.

This is something that everyone has to face, not just the politician being led away in handcuffs.Ó INTRA-PARTY WARFARE Astorino also criticized Cuomo for dodging attempts by his Democratic opponent, Zephyr Teachout, a constitutional law professor at Fordham University who entered the race after Cuomo worked out a deal to bring the disaffected Working Families Party back into the party fold, to debate in the run-up to the Democratic primary on Sept. 9.

Cuomo has not publicly referred to Teachout by name or commented on her candidacy.

Last week, his campaign lost an attempt to get her removed from the ballot. And, perhaps unsurprisingly considering the strange bedfellows of politics, Astorino has found an unlikely ally in the Vermont native, who he has boosted in his often-lacerating attacks on the incumbent, even offering to debate her in order to give her a platform for her ideas on improving the state.

Several media outlets have taken them up on the offer and negotiations are ongoing, said Astorino spokeswoman Jessica Proud in a news release last week. ÒT here are just two options here,Ó she said in the release, which was issued shortly before AstorinoÕ s appearance at the fair on Thursday. ÒE ither the Governor is acting like a total jerk Ñ and we refuse to believe he would do that Ñ or his criminal defense lawyers have shut the debate option down. Under legal advice, Mr. Cuomo has already told the press that heÕ ll no longer answer questions about the Cuomogate scandal; apparently that extends to debates as well.

I mean, whatÕ s Mr. Cuomo going to say when confronted by Professor Teachout about his interference with Moreland: Ô IÕ m sorry, but my criminal defense team advises that I not answer that question?Õ Ó Astorino spoke freely when asked by a reporter about CuomoÕ s reluctance to debate: ÒI f the Governor is embarrassed about this record, he should be Ñ I would be. ThereÕ s a bad business climate, people are leaving the state.

ThatÕ s his record and I wouldnÕ t be proud of it either.Ó The candidate called Start-Up NY, CuomoÕ s initiative that offers new and expanding busi-

Most of the regional forests are dominated by spruce, pine and balsam, which allows the seasonal definition to be easily determined by the surroundings.

If a carpet of fresh snow, whether artificial or actual ice shavings from the Olympic Arena, is in the foreground of a evergreen forest, the setting can be instantly transformed into a Christmas scene. Just add a sleigh, or a dog sled team and winter has arrived, even in mid-July.

And since most production projects for catalogs are completed abut six months in advance of delivery of the final product, they need to have winter or autumn scenes in the late spring or early summer.

Even in the heat of the summer, an autumn scene is almost always possible to construct in a region where pine needles often carpet the forest floor among the towering pines, and a thick morning fog covers the lakes.

Prop managers simply sprinkle around a few colorful fall leaves, and blend them in with naturally brown leaves and pine needles on the forest floor which can make the scene appear as if it is Thanksgiving in the middle of April.

During a Mercedes Benz car commercial a few years back, the production crew hired the Olympic Authority to produce snow with their snowmaking guns, which turned the scene into a blizzard to impress the public with the road handling capabilities of the new All Wheel Drive Mercedes. Of course, the fearsome winding road that was tackled in the snowstorm was actually just a service road at the Ski Jump Complex.

Already this season, the region has hosted productions for Bass Tracker Boats which was filmed on the Lower Saranac Lake, while Dooney & Bourke Handbags shot their new collection on Lake Placid.

Cabelas has been shooting their Fall Catalog in an around Wilmington on the Ausable River and in the local forests and fields.

The next time you look at a catalog or a television commercial. take a closer look at the background or the props. YouÕ re likely to see a familiar scene, a friendÕ s old pickup or a familiar family dog in the background.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

This scene from a recent J Crew catalog was produced in the Adirondacks, as was the rainbow trout which served as a prop.

nesses a decade of zero taxes, a Ò$250 million boondoggleÓ an d a political prop. ÒT hree years later, itÕ s done nothing,Ó he told reporters. ÒH e will do anything to justify it. If you truly want a robust economy, start getting taxes down.Ó The Republican hopeful previously challenged Cuomo to eight debates in regions across the state. Cuomo has said that he would leave the details up to his campaign staff, who have not publicly accepted AstorinoÕ s offer.

Following the Democratic primary on Sept. 9, general election voters will held to the polls on Nov. 4.

POLITICAL SAUSAGE Earlier that morning, Cuomo officially opened the fair and toured the grounds with Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney. A thunderstorm briefly interrupted the power supply as the pair took refuge in a dairy tent.

As Astorino spoke with reporters on Thursday, comedian and political activist Randy Credico, a protest candidate running on the Democratic line, drawled insults from his perch on the outskirts of the crowd while Green Party gubernatorial candidate Howie Hawkins, a perennial candidate for the state’s highest office, and a gaggle of volunteers stood tongue-tied in the background wearing bewildered expressions.

Asked about the biggest issues facing the North Country, Astorino cited jobs, infrastructure and the brain drain, a triple-slam that one of his ticketmates, Onondaga County Comptroller Bob Antonacci, who is running for the statewide comptroller position, echoed. ÒJ obs, jobs, jobs,Ó said Antonacci. ÒA nd we have to look at low-cost power.Ó On Friday, citing the 30,000 jobs he said he created in Westchester County during his four-year tenure, Astorino rolled out his jobs platform, a seven-point plan structured around regulatory reform, tax relief, infrastructure and energy development and measures to bone up on increasing the availability of skilled workers and strengthening the stateÕ s thriving agricultural industry.

Antonacci said he was interested in the capacity for wind.

“We’ve got to look into that. And keeping Fort Drum Ñ itÕ s huge for the North Country,Ó he said.

Antonacci escorted Astorino on a stroll through his native turf. ÒI want you to meet Rob Astorino,Ó he said to passerby, pulling them aside. ÒH eÕ s going to be

Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino, left, toured the New York State Fair with Bob Antonacci, at right, the Onondaga County Comptroller and Astorino’s ticketmate for the statewide comptroller position. our next governor.Ó ÒI Õ m Rob Astorino and IÕ m running for Governor,Ó said Astorino to the patrons, many of whom appeared to be apathetic.

The pair drifted from booth to booth, cluster to cluster. Grins erupted from law enforcement officials, with whom Cuomo remains deeply unpopular as a result of the SAFE Act, the controversial arms control bill that critics say was a knee jerk reaction to the Newtown shooting that was pushed through the state legislature without due process. ÒT he state has zero respect for veterans,Ó he told a group selling bottled water in front of the Horticulture Building, a main thoroughfare.

He shook their hands and continued onwards. ÒE h, theyÕ re politicians,Ó said one after the party departed.

One family, all of whom were clad in limegreen anti-Cuomo shirts, spotted the pair from afar and were delighted. ÒY ouÕ ve got our vote!Ó hollered the patriarch. ÒJ ust look at our T-shirts.Ó ÒC uomoÕ s got to go!Ó s aid the T-shirts.

After pausing at the Sept. 11 monument, Antonacci led his running mate towards one of the fairÕ s quirkier traditions: chowing down on Gianelli Sausage at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que stand, a litmus test for the stateÕ s political candidates kick started by former Gov. George Pataki. ÒY ou got the good weather,Ó said AntonacciÕ s mother, who materialized out of a nearby building. ÒA nd I wonÕ t say any more.Ó That morning, according to other reporters who were there, Cuomo consumed his sandwich with his daughters at the airport. ÒW eÕ re going to eat it here,Ó Antonacci said as

buzz rippled throughout the crowd. ÒT hatÕ s how itÕ s supposed to be done, not in a car.Ó “CAN’T FIX STUPID” In the background, a sense of intrigue hung in the humidity.

John Korzec, a retired truck driver from Oneida, asked a reporter who the man in the blue shirt was.

A reporter told him it was the Republican candidate for Governor and John ticked off a list of issues, both state and federal, that he wanted to see addressed: Retention of Social Security benefits, emergency help from last month’s flooding in Oneida County, keeping the drinking age at 21 and better options for health insurance.

His son, Greg, ran over and shook AstorinoÕ s hand. ÒI Õ m on dialysis and need help,Ó he said. ÒI Õ m not asking for more Ñ I just donÕ t want them to take away what IÕ ve got.Ó ÒI f we had more jobs, it would give people back their dignity,Ó s aid Christine, his mother.

The family had just returned from Tennessee.

Opening day at the fair marked their first visit in more than two decades. ÒA nd weÕ re here to see Brad Paisley, too,Ó said Greg, referring to the country heavyweight who was headlining the Grandstand that evening.

John said he was unfamiliar with the Moreland Commission. He rolled his eyes and scoffed after being told it was a now-defunct commission designed to investigate state corruption.

“You can’t fix stupid,” he said. “If you do the crime, youÕ ve got to do the time.Ó
