AU SABLE FORKS Ñ Shortly after 8 a.m. every morning, the interactive smartboards in Au Sable Forks Elementary School flicker on and come into focus.

John Thatcher, the schoolÕ s computer teacher and digerati-in-chief, takes final stock of a half-dozen pieces of equipment from the AFE-WEBTVÕ s nerve center.

Then he rolls tape.

On the screens, a pair of pint-sized reporters materialize. Reading from a impromptu teleprompter, they ask their classmates to stand for the pledge before rattling off the issues of daily importance for the schoolÕ s 250 kids: whatÕ s for lunch, which water fountains are roped off, upcoming field trips, the weather forecast, birthdays and the latest jewels discovered in the lost and found.

UPPER JAY Ñ T he Adirondack Shakespeare company may be small, they may be young, but as Shakespeare writes in A Midsummer NightÕ s Dream, ÒT hough she be but little, she is fierce!”

This fully-professional acting company celebrates their fifth season this year and is bringing back a fall tour for the second year in a row.

Understanding why this company has been so successful is simple: they are fresh, they are motivated and they are real. Founders Tara Bradway and Patrick Siler remain true to their creative vision which started as just a desire for change back in 2008.

Bradway and Siler were both working as actors in Wilmington, Del. when they began to become dissatisfied with the way things were going. As an actor, one must always follow the vision the director has in mind, and often times actors donÕ t see eye to eye with the direction a production is going.

Bradway sipped on her pumpkin-spiced latte and said, “We were unsatisfied with the development. It felt like things were getting in the way of the story.”

It was then and there that Tara and Patrick decided to start their own company, one that could be stripped of all the unnecessary additions and just be exactly what it was meant to be. ÒW e got rid of everything except the text,” said Bradway. ÒW ell, no not everything,”Siler interjected, Òt hat would just be like reading it on the radio.” ÒW ell yes, we still wanted it to be a live theatrical production,” Bradway clarified.

Neglected barns pose vexing dilemma for town officials

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com WILLSBORO Ñ

A cluster of barns hugging Point Road is giv-

ing headaches to the town officials tasked with determining their future: Kick in the cash for repairs or let them continue to disintegrate to the chagrin of local residents.

But the town doesnÕ t own the moldering structures Ñ Cornell University does. They are part of their research facility on the Baker Farm. Willsboro just has a construction lease on them, a designation that was initially bestowed with the understanding that the town would make the improvements necessary for their preservation.

Further muddying the waters, the Willsboro Heritage Society uses the interconnected structures to store some of their artifacts, many of which have already been damaged as a result of a leaky roof.

The barns themselves have historical significance: A structure from 1807 may be the only surviving example of that particular type of architecture in Essex County.

“We either have to grab them with both fists and love them, or get away,” Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland told the town board at a meeting earlier this month.

To paint the structures and repair the roofs, which contain lead, it would cost $65,000.

Contractors without lead certification would be forced to “spray and walk,” a temporary solution to a sustained problem, said Gillilland.

Councilman Steve Benway, citing their profound deterioration, said it would be in townÕ s best interest to simply walk away.

Charles Lustig, another councilman, said he wanted to explore all possible avenues to maintain the structures, which were originally built by a man named Cornelius Sharp, who promptly drowned in Willsboro Bay shortly thereafter.

Lustig hoped the town could lock down state grants to preserve the barns and possibly even transform the complex into an agricultural museum.

The New York State Barns and Restoration and Preservation Program provides grants of up to $25,000 to restore historic barns and historic agricultural buildings. But a contribution of 10 to 50 percent of the project cost would be required from the applicant.

Town Historian Ron Bruno said if the town terminated its agreement, the Heritage Society would need to find a new home

for the artifacts stored there, including furnishings, appliances, furniture and stoves.

The town has already explored cultural grants, said Gillilland.

But to unlock them, the state requires towns to conduct a detailed engineering study that will likely take years.

“As a town, we just need to make a decision,” said Gillilland. Ò If we donÕ t get rid of them, we need to have a future vision. WeÕ re on the hook to be good stewards and maintain these things, but theyÕ re continuing to deteriorate as the town moves forward.”

“How long are we going to drag this one out?” asked Benway.

“I’d like to go until we have explored everything,” said Lustig.

“I don’t want to let go until we exhaust every possible outcome.”

Bill Dickerson suggested a third option: quid pro quo with another local stakeholder.

“I suggest we bend on some negotiation points,” he said. Ò Maybe thereÕ s something the town could look favorably so there’s something for both sides.”

A final decision is expected to be handed down in October.

North Hudson votes to kill proposal to purchase former theme park

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON Ñ Voters torpedoed the townÕ s purchase of Frontier Town on Thursday in a vote of 80 to 52.

Town officials, who voted unanimously to use funds from their general reserve fund to purchase the park earlier this year, hoped their acquisition of the former Wild West theme park would act as a catalyst for an economic resurgence.

But after a local resident, Sindy Brazee, circulated petitions for a permissive referendum, the town used an arcane section of local law to put the issue to the vote that ultimately nixed the proposal.

Essex County Attorney Daniel Manning said ThursdayÕ s decision does not affect George MooreÕ s litigation against the county. Ò Did the Board of Supervisors act properly in rejecting Mr.

Moore’s bid at the time?” asked Manning. “That’s the legal question that needs to be addressed.”

The plaintiff, George Moore, a Keeseville-based businessman who owns the A-Frame, bid on the parcels at a county tax auction in April, but the Essex County Board of Supervisors rejected his bid on the grounds that it did not meet the minimum reserve of taxes owed on the properties.

But this isnÕ t the end. Now that voters have determined town of North Hudson cannot purchase the property, the Board of Supervisors, which owns the property, retains the province to do whatever it wants with it: The town of North Hudson could come back with another proposal, for instance. Or the

County, CATS and Lewis team for trail LEWIS Ñ The Town of Lewis, Essex County and Champlain Area Trails (CATS) are teaming up to develop multi-use trails at Thrall Dam Park in Lewis.

They invite volunteers of all ages to meet at Lewis Town Hall to take part in the first public trailmaking project on Saturday morning, Sept. 27 from 8 a.m. to noon. Ò We are excited to redevelop Thrall Dam Park so it is available for people in our community and throughout the area,” said David Blades, the town supervisor. “When the pond was there, it was a great resource for the town so creating trails at the park will reinvigorate its use and provide for wonderful outdoor experiences. We all thank Charles Martin, Bill Aubin, and Edward Cross for brushing out the trail to prepare of this project.”

Meg Parker, Outreach Coordinator for Essex County Public Health DepartmentÕ s Creating Healthy Places Program, said, Ò We have a strong interest in expanding access to recreation opportunities because healthy physical activity benefits individuals and the general public. Thrall Dam ParkÕ s location between Lewis and Elizabethtown makes it available for many local residents and visitors.”

Thrall Dam Park, owned by Essex County, was once a lively recreation area for fishing, swimming, picnicking, and skating. Built in the 1920Õ s, as a pond for a type of winter horse-racing called, “ice sulky racing,” it later fell into disrepair until the 1960’s when the spillway at the dam was rebuilt by the local community. During the intervening years, the pond silted up, swimming became less desirable and the spillway deteriorated and eventually disintegrated.

CATS worked with Essex County and the Town to lay out the routes for the trails.

“Thrall Dam Park is a hidden gem,” said Chris Maron, CATS executive director. “Making it available for public use aligns with the townÕ s newly adopted comprehensive plan, advances the idea of having trails connect our communities, and promotes economic vitality.”

The Thrall Dam trail project will be to clear branches from the trail and contour it in difficult places. Volunteers are asked to bring clippers, loppers, hand saws and/or shovels. There will also be a number of tools available.

Alternatively, the board could sell it to George Moore or they could put it in a future auction, including the next one, which is slated for Oct. 22.

Litigation between Mr. Moore and Essex County is ongoing.

Another group of signs remind us that flu season is fast aproaching and we should think about getting our flu shots now. I was reminded that it takes up to 14-15 days to really be useful. I had mine done at Walgreens with just my Medicare card, no other payment, a very short wait, and it went very smooth. Just like on TV, I got my nice red band-aid.

oticed all those CATS trailhead signs that have popped up in our neck of the Champlain Valley over the past few years? From their office in Westport, Champlain Area Trails (CATS) is creating a network of hiking trails that now links communities from Moriah to Willsboro and beyond. As part of this effort, they have also attracted hundreds of visitors to the region to enjoy those trailsÑ and to support the local businesses that they find here.

If you have noticed CATS trailhead signs along your favorite back roads, you may also have noticed that many of the signs are minimal, simply announcing that a CATS trail begins there. Now CATS is asking its loyal volunteers (and anyone else interested in lending a hand) to help paint new signs to give a bit more information, like the name of the trail with directional arrows. And unlike other CATS volunteer projects, this one doesnÕ t involve lopping, sawing, or even going outside.

You can help out with this one from home!

Call the CATS office at 962-2287 to get involved.

CATS has another project more in their traditional lopping-and-sawing mode this weekend, on Saturday, September 27 from 8 a.m. to noon.

Many of the quilts told stories related to the war and Battle of Plattsburgh. The quilts were made by local quilters of all ages with the specifications that the quilts had to be 30” by 70” as this size would have covered a sleeping soldier or if he died would have covered his body to send home.

I was recently visiting family on Mobile Bay in southern Alabama and was astounded by the huge number of hummingbirds in the area.

They are all ruby-throated hummers, the only ones we see in the Champlain Valley, and the birds were on the gulf coast fueling up for a migratory flight across the 600 mile wide Gulf of Mexico.

They overwinter in Mexico and breed as far north as southern Canada, and need to double their body weight to make the crossing, which takes about 12 hours. They are irascible little things, prone to fighting and hurling insults.

Just before the recent frost, we picked all of our remaining tomatoes, peppers and cukes.

ThereÕ s barely any kitchen counter space to put down a cup of coffee, with trays of tomatoes especially numerous. If a green tomato shows the least bit of yellow on its underside, it will ripen. However, you need to inspect the tomatoes daily and ruthlessly get rid of the ones that show signs of rotting.

It’s deja vu all over again

W

ith a bill passed that will arm rebels in Syria and bombs beginning to drop in Iraq, it feels like the early 2000Õ s in the Middle East all over again, except this time, itÕ s a group called ISIS in the crosshairs. If the US doesnÕ t rethink its approach to this part of the world, this “war” is all we’ll ever know.

The late Hunter S. Thompson was better known for his illegal-substance-fueled Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas than views on foreign affairs, but shortly after four commercial airliners flights’ ended in terror in New York City, Pennsylvania and Washington DC, Thompson took to his ESPN column “Hey Rube” on Sept. 11, 2001, and said this: Ò The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War nowÑ with somebodyÑ and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.”

Thirteen years later, the words are perhaps more chilling. There is a generation now who, in their teens, havenÕ t lived in an America not at war. President Barack Obama has made attempts, with little success, to distance the nation from the turmoil in the Middle East, but to what end? This isn’t the kind of conflict from history books, with a beginning, middle and end, but one that continually evolves.

Unlike the Sept. 11 attacks, the catalyst of the most recent turmoil in the Middle East has been, at least on the surface, ISISÕ widely disseminated beheading of American journalist James Foley.

This isnÕ t to say our nation is at war over the murder of one American man and a family tortured by the public nature of his death, but it certainly provided a spark.

The bigger picture, though, is the message sent from the startlingly well-funded extremist group. ISIS had been making news priorÑ in late June, it claimed to be a “state” of all Muslims in the world as it spread with force into IraqÑ and the Foley killing and those to follow were used to illustrate its stance. (ItÕ s worth noting that many Muslim groups and religious leaders have denounced ISIS, claiming its radical actions to be Ò unIslamic.”)

On Sept. 9, Steven Sotloff, another American journalist to fall victim to ISIS, was killed. In the video posted by the state-slash-terrorist group, a masked individual addressed Obama with this message: Ò Just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.”

A week later, the president spoke up, giving some idea of how the US would “destroy” ISIS. His vow to fight ISIS has come in the form of Congress giving bipartisan approval to arm and train Syrian rebels in their fight against Islamic terrorists, a $500 million measure.

Congressman Bill Owens was one of 273 to vote yes for the measure to arm the fighters, citing “imminent

September 27, 2014

threat of violence.”

Those very words echo the drafting of the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), which has given our last two presidents carte blanche to use force, across borders, against not only those suspected of playing roles in the Sept. 11 attacks, but Ò to prevent an act of international terrorism against the United States...”

The AUMF was directed toward al-Qaeda (and any suspected associates), a group that disassociated itself from ISIS earlier this year, technically distancing ISIS from the billsÕ scope. However, a second drafting in 2002 pertained to Iraq, resulting in a gray area of whether it can be used in this conflict.

Though Obama took the bill through Congress, he said in a Sept. 10 speech that he has Ò the authority to address the threat from ISIS,” implying that he’d use the AUMF to justify continued air strikes or other military action beyond the funding of Syrian rebels.

Obama, prior ISISÕ emergence, has been a vocal opponent of the AUMF and has said he wanted it repealed.

On top of that, thereÕ s been the added issue of whether arming the Syrian rebels is itself an unconstitutional act.

While ISIS may be growing dangerous enough to warrant concern, the governmentÕ s ways about policing the Middle East should be raising a number of red flags.

The War on Terror has become an expensive and deadly cycle. For every attack or perceived threat, America has played judge and jury, and every time it does, it gives religious extremistsÑ the Taliban, al-Qaeda, ISIS or whoever is next in lineÑ reason to threaten and attack.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul said after the bill was passed that Ò America should only go to war to win.

We shouldnÕ t go to war sort-of-meandering our way through a spending bill.”

If only this war was a winnable one. Even if America was able to scrub ISIS from the map, the collateral damage would give rise to another group seeking retribution. The political and military strategies at play now will keep the US firmly entrenched in the region for years to come.

Thompson, foreseeing a “religious war,” had this to add in his column over a decade ago: Ò We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or what will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possible all three at once. Who knows? É This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed—for anyone...”

Add ISIS to that list and it could have been written today. No wonder the sense of deja vu.

Perhaps, one day, a generation of Americans will know peace, but it doesnÕ t appear the path to that end is one the government is treading today. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Editorial hit the mark

Celebration a success

To the Editor:

Congratulations E-Town!

To the Editor:

Your editorial board hit it right on the head with the Bridge/ Ferry piece.

Stick with it. Continue to discuss it. Reach out to politicians & find out why there hasn’t been discussion of a Cumberland Head/Grand Isle bridge.

Pester & persist. Make it a consistent theme within your Ò On the Street” segments. Run cartoons about it. The press has the power to push for positive changes within their communities.

This subject could be your paperÕ s major coup.

Justin Schultz, Plattsburgh

To the Editor:

In recognition of the 75th anniversary of the creation of the Elizabethtown Social Center, the current director, Arin Burdo, her staff, and the board of directors staged a rousing celebration on Saturday, Sept. 20.

With something for everyone, the present leadership honored the spirit of Cora Putnam Hale, whose generous gift to the community in 1939 is still being enjoyed in the 21st century.

A heartfelt thank you is due to Arin and all who donated and labored to bring about a day full of music, games, reminiscence, fun, refreshment and friendship. HereÕ s to a bright and long-lasting future for this unique landmark.

With appreciation, Bob and Carole Harsh, Essex

Empty phrases To the Editor: How pleased Republican Party officials and Republican voters must be. Once more their opponents are dividing energies, splitting votes and guaranteeing Republican majorities.

Shades of the 2000 presidential election!

Much good Mr. Ralph NaderÕ s platform that year has done for Americans not to speak of Iraqis. And here we are again. There goes Howie Hawkins and there goes Matt Funiciello and golly gee if Ralph Nader, a little grayer but not much wiser isnÕ t right there at their side.

“Majoritarian values don’t transcend to public policy,” Mr. Hawkins pronounces, meaninglessly. He is pushing something called the “Green New Deal” which, he says, includes tax relief for the working class, affordable housing, a $15 minimum wage and a single payer health care system.

Hooray ! How great ! All this will presumably be made into law by a Republican Party whose even greater control of Congress our three thinkers are helping to insure.

Constructive reformers wanting to change the course of local and national politics make themselves heard between elections.

Change is hard, painstaking, year around work. Ask the womenÕ s movement; the civil rights movement; the gay and lesbian movement, the labor movement. Movements all. Spouting empty phrases and meaningless platforms on Election Day moves nothing much more than a candidateÕ s mouth. And it can do a lot of damage.

More thoughts on Dollar General

We now have an update to our 35 year old Comprehensive Plan and for that many thanks are due!

First, to all the citizens of Elizabethtown who participated in the Survey, Workshops, Business Focus Groups and Public Forum.

Next to our consultant, Nan Stolzenberg, for her professional guidance through this long process and for sharing her many years of experience.

Then,to the Elizabethtown Town Board for attending many meetings and posing many thoughtful questions.

Then to Pete DeMola, of the Valley News, who covered the issues and kept the public informed during the final months of the process.

And finally to my fellow members of the Elizabethtown Planning Board, led by our chair, Bruce Pushee, for the countless hours they spent discussing, editing, rewriting and revising the eight drafts. This was truly a town-wide effort that we should all be proud of!

Elena Borstein, Elizabethtown

To the Editor: Many pros and cons are heard on the streets about the possibility of a Dollar General store in town.

From a personal point of view, I am all for it. I have lived here most of my life and watched as this area has flourished, fallen, rebuilt, flourished again, fallen again. A pattern that isn’t too pretty. So much is here, yet more is needed.

If we were to accept the idea of this store, locals would be able to shop for the items that now they need to drive south for. Examples: clothing for the children, baking pans that might cost much less than any of the stores in town, candles for times when the power has gone out, other items that parents, and elderly are not able to travel to Warrensburg or Glens Falls for. The rising cost of gas, electric, and heating fuel makes it tough for many in our area.

As for the tourists coming in the train, they might go home saying, “This town has everything you need, and more!”

Build it with a little Adirondack style, and it wonÕ t be an eyesore, as some people think. It just might be a nice looking store that will draw out people from outlying towns as well.

As I have learned over the years, we all need to Ò look outside the box” to build up this community again.

Debby Leigh North Creek

Community support appreciated To the Editor: We at the Whallonsburg Civic Association would like to thank the community for attending our annual Block Party at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall. One hundred and fifty people came out to enjoy the music, great local food, and each other.

We appreciate all the community groups who support this event with their participation: Adirondack Harvest, NCSPCA, the Wadhams Library, the Greenhorns, Lakeside School, and Reber Rock Farm. We also thank all the farmers who grow the excellent food that we serve and who work with us to make this event happen. Special thanks to the Whallonsburg Fire Department, who arrive every year to share their fire trucks with the children, help with parking, and ensure everyoneÕ s safety.

This event is a great way to reconnect with our neighbors after the summer. Next yearÕ s Block Party will also be a celebration of the Grange Hall’s 100th year! We’ll see you there.

Andy Buchanan, President, Whallonsburg Civic Association

Hitting other people is always wrong F

ootball is a violent sport where large powerful men have been schooled for many years on how to inflict physical pain on other men who aim to do the same to them.

Ray Rice is a superb athlete weighing in at a chiseled 200 pounds. His wife is considerably smaller and no match for her powerful husband. Rice and a number of other professional athletes have a difficult time not forcing their will on others when they are off the playing field.

Aside from the shocking video that shows Rice punching his wife in the face and then dragging her like a sack of garbage is the shocking lack of reaction from the National Football League.

Unfortunately, domestic violence among professional athletes is a serious problem. While Ray Rice will pay a heavy financial penalty for his behavior as endorsement money and contract bonuses have evaporated, he may not spend a day in jail for what was a serious assault.

Had Mr. Rice perpetrated this act on someone else, he would be in serious trouble. The law still allows a man to abuse his wife without penalty if the wife refuses to press charges. Hopefully local officials will prosecute Rice to the fullest extent of the law.

I believe that the failure to do so contributes to the lack of clarity around the issue of hitting other people.

On the heels of the Rice story came star running back Adrian Peterson who beat his four-year-old son with a switch or branch off a bush.

Peterson was arrested for his actions and prohibited from playing the Minnesota Vikings. Surprisingly, America continues to debate the use of corporal punishment as a teaching or discipline tool: Nineteen states still allow the use of corporal punishment in schools. Typically, the student is brought to the office and hit with a wooden or fiberglass paddle. The fact that the federal government has not made hitting children illegal and against the law in any setting is simply unbelievable.

Keep in mind that adults enjoy this protection almost universally. The eighth amendment protects convicted criminals against cruel and unusual punishments; shouldnÕ t children be protected from physical abuse as well, no matter where they are?

The lack of strong and universal laws that disallow hitting children in school or at home lead to confusion or a blurring of what is acceptable and is what is not. Having worked with many physically abused children over time, I am convinced that physical abuse can profoundly affect children across their entire lives.

The awareness of child abuse in America is fairly recent. In the 1960s, the plight of children being abused was exemplified in a series of articles that described “The Battered Child Syndrome.”

These shocked millions of Americans who were informed that their routine disciplinary practices might be deeply wounding their children. The articles revealed that child abuse was occurring not just in run down tenements, but in homes where parents

were educated, religious and well off financially.

While many states created laws that made abuse illegal, they addressed serious bodily injury, leaving traditional punishments like spanking or slapping in play. Over the next decade, legislators focused on what was the invisible horror of sexual abuse.

By Scot Hurlburt Laws have largely stagnated around physical abuse and parents can still hit their children without consequence as long as they do not inflict an injury. Research around hitting children has demonstrated that spanking and or hitting can increase a childÕ s risk of becoming aggressive towards others, anti-social behavior, mental health disorders later in life, slower cognitive development and decreased language skills.

As a parent or caretaker, you can hit your child but know that you are harming your child. In most cases, you will be two to three times your childÕ s size.

DonÕ t do it. Remember all kids count.

Indians run their way to 48-2 win, remain undefeated

Patriots still searching for first win of the season

By Akashia Swinton

denpub@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE Ñ The Ausable Valley Patriots were crushed by the Peru Indians at home on Sept. 19. The final score was 48 to 2 with all of the Peru points being scored in the first half.

PeruÕ s Brandon Sawyer had 243 rushing yards with four touchdowns all in the first half.

PeruÕ s Brandon Sawyer rushed for 243 yards in the IndiansÕ rout of the Patriots on Sept. 19.

The receiving game was led by Anthony Gallo with 43 yards and two touchdowns for the Indians. Troy Lawyer scored the last touchdown and had a total of 73 receiving yards.

Peru quarterback Blake Altizer went 12-for-23 and also connected with John Gallo and Rivelino Hendricks for 122 additional yards.

Although there were a large number of points scored by Peru, there were multiple players for AuSable Valley that were active on defense. Kenny Rivers had six tackles and Jamie Coolidge had five tackles and two sacks, one of which resulted in the safety that led the Patriots to their only score.

Patriots quarterback William Coats had 34 rushing yards, but was only able to complete four of his 18 pass attempts to his main targets Nate Manning, who ended with 27 yards and Sultan Sikandar, who had 19.

The AuSable Valley rushing game was led by James Carter with 43 yards.

Patriots Coach Heith Ford encouraged his team to have a short term memory in which they understand and learn from their mistakes to prepare for their game next week against at Plattsburgh High School. He said their tackling skills need some work and they will be making alterations to their offense this week.

Despite this substantial loss and winless season through three games, the AuSable Valley fans had nothing but support for the players and were offering words of encouragement after every play.

Peru Coach Nick Damiani was happy with the changes implemented in last weekÕ s practice. They were stalling on 4th down, unable to covert, but they increased their efficiency and converted those drives into points. He also appreciated the team effort on defense with no offensive points allowed. They will face off against the Moriah Vikings next week, Sept. 27, at home.

Storming their way to 3-0 Have yet to allow a field goal or touchdown

By Kyle Oehlbeck

denpub@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Saranac Lake offense racked up over 300 yards and put up 30 points, but the defense was the story of the day with two sacks, one interception and a goal line stand to lead the Red Storm to a 30-2 victory over the Saranac Chiefs.

The Saranac Lake defense, which gave up just 130 yards in the game, took points off the ChiefsÕ side of the scoreboard twice.

In the first quarter, the Red Storm mounted a huge goal line stand on their own one-yard line, followed later by a superb interception by cornerback Jack Martin.

Saranac Lake quarterback Tristin Fitzgerald was 13-18 for 196 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. He added 37 yards on the ground, including a rushing touchdown.

The Chiefs were the first to put points on the board with a safety late in the first quarter.

Before cramps sidelined Saranac quarterback Caiden Goodman he had 62 yards passing and 28 yards rushing to lead the Chiefs on the day.

The go to guy for Saranac on the ground was

running back George Miller, who had 20 carries for 25 hard-earned yards.

After their last offensive possession turned into a safety, the Red Storm came back in a fury with Fitzgerald connecting with wide receiver Jason Stack for a 56 yard touchdown pass.

The Red Storm put up 14 more points before halftime to have a commanding 21-2 lead, starting with FitzgeraldÕ s 19-yard keeper into the endzone.

After recovering a fumble, Fitzgerald lobbed the ball 22 yards into the right corner of the endzone as time expired where Ty Marmion made the touchdown grab.

The two scores came just over a minute apart and the quick barrage quieted the ChiefsÕ side of the field after the energetic Saranac team held the Red Storm scoreless in the first quarter.

After the half, Saranac Lake put in their second stringers and would only score one more touchdown, again by Marmion.

He had a huge day with two catches for 31 yards and a touchdown along with 51 yards on the ground and another touchdown.

The Red Storm kept their undefeated overall record at 3-0 and will be traveling to Ticonderoga Friday night, Sept. 26, to take on the 2-1 Sentinels. The Chiefs play host to the 2-1 Beekmantown Eagles on Saturday, Sept. 27.

Eagles ramp up offensive for lopsided win over the Hornets Beekmantown moves to 2-1 with 63-12 win over Plattsburgh

By Barrie Finnegan

denpub@denpubs.com

BEEKMANTOWN Ñ Apparently the Eagles were just getting warmed up last week against the Patriots in a 43-22 win. The Eagles were hitting on all cylinders on the way to a 63-12 romp of PHS on Sept. 20. Offense, defense and special teams all chipped in for the win.

On the second play of the game, Justin Stevens went 45 yards off left tackle to set the stage for things to come. After another gain

by Stevens, the counter play worked to perfection as Nathan Handy took it 21 yards to paydirt.

The Eagles picked up their second consecutive win of the season with a 63-12 rout of the Hornets on Sept. 20.

After a three and out by PHS, Beekmantown got the ball back but fumbled and PHS took possession. DÕ Andre Lemieux ran for a first down on A QB keeper. Then, on 4th and seven, Lemieux hit Riley Monahan on a swing pass for an 11 yard touchdown. The extra point was missed making it 7-6 with 5:02 left in the first. This is as close as it would get.

Justin Stevens took the next kickoff and ran through some hard contact at his own 22, then continued down the field to the end zone making it 14-6.

Stevens took over on the EaglesÕ next possession, capping off a 75 yard drive with a 40 yard touchdown run. That ended the scoring in the first quarter with Beekmantown up 21-

6.

It was much of the same in the second quarter as Stevens went 76 yards off the left side for a score and Tyler Newman went 40 yards on a TD run of his own. Halftime came with the Eagles up 35-6.

Stevens took a 26 yard pass to the endzone to make it 426. The defense decided to get in on the scoring with Nathan Handy intercepting and taking it all the way for a 35 yard touchdown to wrap up the third quarter at 49-6.

The fourth quarter saw more of the Eagles ground game.

This time it was Tyler Myers carrying the load. After four carries by Myers he found the endzone on a two yard run.

The Hornets showed their never-give-up attitude by mounting a fourth quarter drive of their own. After nice ground gains by Quran Carroll and Logan Harvey, Lemieux hit Hunter Marbut on a 21 yard scoring strike to make it 56-12.

The following kickoff went to Loudon Frechette who took it all the way to the endzone to Eagles running back Justin Stevens (22) breaks downfield for a rushing touchdown against the Hornets in Beekmantown’s wrap up the scoring with the second consecutive win.

Ticonderoga defense, zone read down Moriah in round one Sentinels shut out Vikings in rivalry meeting, move to tie for second in standings

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com MINEVILLE Ñ Last Friday, Garrison Hughes watched Heisman Trophy candidate Taysom Hill run the zone read offense of BYU on television.

On Sept. 19, it was his turn to run the zone read himself as the Ticonderoga Sentinels used it to spur a pair of big drives en route to a 31-0 win over rival Moriah.

“We have been repping it for weeks,” Hughes said. Ò The line killed it blocking and the backs made plays.”

Hughes ran the ball nine times for 80 yards, 44 of those coming on a seven play, 57 yard drive that ended in the Sentinels first offensive touchdown of the game less than one minute into the second quarter.

TiconderogaÕ s opening score came when Ryan Trudeau (nine carries for 26 yards) scored

from three yards away after Konner Bruce had recorded a sack and fumble recovery when a Moriah snap got over the head of Viking quarterback Adam Jaquish.

Bruce, who was at the center of the final play of the 2013 Section VII Class D title game, excelled in the rivalry game, carrying the ball 18 times for 187 yards (including a 48 yard score in the third quarter) while recording five tackles for a loss, one and a half sacks and a fumble recovery.

“We did the zone read a lot in practice,” Bruce said. Ò The line really executed well and gave me big holes to run through. It was perfect.” Ò We have had it in but have not had the opportunity to use it until tonight,” Coach Scott Nephew said. Ò Garrison made good reads and Konner ran well. Our players made the plays they had to make.”

Bruce also said the line used their speed on the defensive side of the ball to rack up 16 tackles for loss with six sacks of Jaquish.

“We were quick to the ball tonight,” Bruce said.

“We had speed off the line,” said Chase Dixon, who had two and a half sacks in the game.

Konner Bruce tries to pull away from a Vikings defender. Bruce stuffed the stat sheet, running for 187 yards on 18 carries as well as 5 tackles, a fumble recovery and one and a half sacks on the defensive side of the ball.

Ò Coach Dorsett helps us to be quick off the ball and on the offensive side we were able to make gaps for the runners.”

Kolby Bradford added two and a half tackles for loss while Trudeau had a sack. Domanic Banish connected on a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter to round out the scoring for Ti. Ian Lawrie ran the ball in relief of Bruce for 36 yards, while Cody Huestis added six yards in relief.

While many things went the SentinelsÕ way, they were flagged nine times for 95 penalty yards, while the Vikings were flagged five times for 55 yards. The Sentinels were also unable to gain any yardage through the air, as Hughes was 0-for-3 with an interception by MoriahÕ s Taylor Slattery.

For Vikings Coach Don Tesar, the game came down to the front lines.

“They owned the line from the get-go,” Tesar said. “They were in the backfield all day long and didnÕ t allow us to run the ball. That made us one dimensional.”

Tesar also said the his team picked up on TiÕ s zone read, but had a hard time executing.

Ò We had people in the right spots, Hughes and Bruce were just elusive,” Tesar said. “We were reaching out and arm tackling instead of wrapping up and getting to the body and legs.”

Jaquish went 12-for-24, throwing for 128 yards. However, the Sentinel sacks of the Viking quarterback cost the team 50 yards. Overall, the Vikings were held in the red on the ground with -8 yards. Noah Gilbo led the rushers with 24 yards on four carries while Collin Harris had 12 yards on three carries.

Cody Stockwell led the Vikings with 62 yards receiving on five grabs while Slattery had 43 receiving yards. Jarrod MacDougal caught three balls for 16 yards and Kyle Stockwell had seven yards with his lone reception.

Bill Larrow recovered a fumble on defense for the Vikings to go with a tackle for a loss and Gilbo had two and a half tackles for a loss. Ò We will have to shore up our blocking on the line of scrimmage along with our tackling,” Tesar said about preparing to face Peru Saturday, Sept. 27, at 1:30 p.m. in the Apple Bowl. Ticonderoga will host Saranac Lake Friday, Sept.

26, with kickoff set for 7 p.m.

The great Adirondack Flycasting Championships

A

lthough the ancient Egyptians have been credited with utilizing a combination of fur and feathers on a hook for the purpose of angling for fish, there is very little known about the history of flyfishing prior to the seventeenth century.

It is believed that the original equipment used in those earlier times included rods of 14 feet or more in length, with twisted lines of horsehair that were fixed to the top of the rod.

There were no reels used and such limitations of equipment make it unlikely that early fly fishermen used lines much longer than twice the length of their rods, although the early history remains rather spotty.

The sporting pursuit of casting a fly has since gained great popularity over the past 500 or so years; although it was never considered a common man’s pursuit until the advent of fiberglass rods came about and synthetic flylines brought it to the masses in the 1940Õ s.

Prior to the development of glass rods, flyrods were constructed primarily of bamboo that came from the Gulf Of Ton kin region of southeast Asia. They featured silk lines which required careful handling and extensive drying and occasional repair.

Before fiberglass rods gained popular acceptance, rod builders toiled at the task of splitting , shaping and gluing strips of bamboo with wraps of fine silk thread to hold it all together.

It was a painstaking process, and the rods constantly required attention and care. They could never be put away wet, as moisture would cause them to warp, or Õ take a setÕ . If a rod Ô took a Ô setÕ there was little that could be done to repair it.

Today, there remain numerous, cane rod builders all across the world. Some of the finest cane rod builders are still based in Great Britain, although the US has it’s fair share of flyrod builders as well. BritainÕ s fabled House of Hardy, long a purveyor of sporting goods to the British upper crust, still sells cane rods at prices that exceed $5000 or more.

However, it was the development of glass rods that popularized the sport and brought it to the common man.

In the 1880’s, the popularity of flyfishing soared as the Transcendental movement followed a Ô back to natureÕ creed that was advanced by celebrities such as Thoreau, Emerson, Daniel Webster and others.

The renaissance of flyfishing in American was summed up by Henry David Thoreau when he commented “Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.”

The Catskill Mountain region of New York state has been widely recognized as the birthplace of American flyfishing.

Most of the early anglers, including Seth Green, Reuben Wood, Theodore Gordon, Fred Mather practiced their art in the region.

These gentlemen were not simply trout anglers, they were also fish cultists who helped to develop some of the most advanced fish rearing techniques ever known.

However, it was a portly, cigar smoking, sporting goods salesman from Greenbush, New York that first brought national and later, international acclaim to the graceful sport of casting the fly.

Rueben Wood was a frequent visitor to the Adirondacks, and he especially enjoyed taking forays into the wild lands and waters of the Cranberry Lake region, occasionally in the company of artist Fredrick Remington.

Not only was he an avid angler, but he was also a rabid competitor who won all the distance fly casting events at the 1881 New York State SportsmenÕ s Meet.

Two years later, while in London in 1883 for the International Fisheries Exposition Wood participated in a fly casting tournament.

He took first in the salmon fly event with 108 feet, and first in the single handed trout fly event with 82 1/2 feet.

It is important to note that this feat was accomplished without the aid of modern flylines which feature tapered heads, and are propelled by space age, graphite or carbon fiber flyrods.

In the 1880Õ s, the the British casting community was aghast that a Yank had come across the Atlantic to best them on their own turf at a sport they believed they had invented.

As if to to add insult to injury; Wood had accomplished the feat with their own equipment. At the time, it was a sporting achievement comparable to a college team besting an English Premier League soccer team. Al Michaels would have dubbed it the Miracle on Water Throughout the 1880’s and into the early 1900’s, fly casting competitions regularly drew large crowds across the country.

Girls Peru 22, Beekmantown 34 Peru 17, Ticonderoga 46 Peru 15, EKMW 50 Beekmantown 19, Ticonderoga 43 Beekmantown 15, EKMW 50 PERU Ñ The Peru boysÕ and girlsÕ cross country teams both went 3-0 in their home Sept. 16 meet, collecting victories over Beekmantown, Ticonderoga and EKMW. The Indians’ Isaiah Maddix finished first overall among the boys with a time of 15:35, followed closely by TiconderogaÕ s Kody Parrott (15:48). BeekmantownÕ s Everet Sapp placed third with a time of 16:05.

For the girls, Peru took first and third. Shauna Fliss’ 19:06 was best overall Meghan Mazzella (19:16) rounded out the podium.

The EaglesÕ Anna Stitt placed second with a time of 19:13.

Boys Lake Placid 26, Saranac 31 Lake Placid 16, AuSable Valley 43 Saranac 22, Saranac Lake 38 Saranac 15, AuSable Valley 50 Saranac Lake 23, AuSable Valley 30 Girls Lake Placid 15, AuSable Valley 50 Lake Placid 29, Saranac 30 Saranac 15, AuSable Valley 50 Saranac 20, Saranac Lake 39 Saranac Lake 15, AuSable Valley 50 CLINTONVILLE Ñ The Blue Bombers boys and girls both picked up a pair of victories on Sept. 16, racing out to wins over Saranac and AuSable Valley. The Saranac Chiefs also picked up a pair of wins and one loss for both boys and girls.

Chiefs’ Zach LePage was the fastest boy overall, finishing in 18:22. He was followed by two Blue Bombers, Karl Shultz (18:43) and Scott Shultz (19:14).

Saranac Lake’s Zane Pelletieri (19:17) finished fourth and AuSable Valley’s Zach Lawrence finished in 21:25, good for 14th.

For the girls, Blue Bombers’ Nina Armstrong placed first in 21:21. The Red StormÕ s Johanna Mohrs (21:39) placed second, followed by another Lake Placid runner, Gabby Armstrong (23:00).

Saranac’s Lexi Blockson (23:38) finished fifth and Rachel Ford (27:27) placed 13th for AuSable Valley.

In fact, there were over 80,000 spectators gathered for the NYS Flycasting Championship which were held in Syracuse in 1882.

Seth Green of Rochester won the event with a cast of Ò slightly less than 100 feet” in besting the Wood’s brothers.

Unfortunately, fly casting competitions no longer draw such numbers. It is unlikely they will ever again become the main feature of a state fair, and I donÕ t expect IÕ ll ever watch such a competition on CBS, NBC or any of the major networks.

However, I do expect to see some of the region’s finest flycasters when they gather this weekend in Indian Lake for the first annual Great Adirondack Flycasting Championships.

The event, set to be hosted at Byron Park on the shores of Lake Adirondack in Indian Lake is part of the Great Adirondack Moose Festival scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 27.

The competition, featuring a test of fly casting distance, accuracy and speed, will feature prizes for all categories. It is sponsored by Cortland Line Company, Blueline Sport Shop and Tahawus Guide Service.

The festival is a celebration of the return of the moose to the Adirondacks and it will offer a host of authentic Adirondack experiences, including rafting, angling, hikes and moose walks.

There will also be music, food, drink and a host of other fun events including the ever popular, Moose Calling Contest.

I will also be in attendence to host the Great Adirondack Flycasting Championships., and a talk on the Traditions of Backcountry Brook Trout.

Emergency Squad launches fundraising, awareness drives ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ When local residents call 911, the Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad are the folks who show up.

The goals for this year’s drive to benefit the ambulance squad include increasing the number of community members who know CPR, boosting membership, offering first aid classes to community members, expanding the junior member program and increasing revenue to help cover increasing expenses and purchases.

The squad currently has 31 members who dedicate themselves to cover calls for the towns of Elizabethtown, Lewis and the hamlet of New Russia.

As an Advanced Life Support Agency, they can bring drugs, advanced airways and other advanced procedures to the patientÕ s side.

The Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency squad is always excepting applications for new members who can give at least 12 hours a month, particularly at night and on weekends.

The schedule is flexible and made to work around the memberÕ s family life and other obligations.

This fund drive assists the agency in meeting the increased cost of providing emergency care to local residents, their families and the community during emergencies.

In December, residents will receive another request for financial assistance.

The agency has just purchased two cardiac monitors at the cost $64,000 to replace 12-year-old ones.

Thirty pagers were also purchased because the older

models will not work with the new radio system Essex County is installing. Those donations will go directly to the squadÕ s loan.

The Emergency Squad would like to thank the community for their support and donations.

IMPORTANT INFO Visible house numbers. When an emergency happens, the squad needs to be able to locate residents as quickly as possible. There are some homes that still do not have the address number in a clear location. This wastes time. The responding ambulance then must drive down the road slowly looking and sometimes guessing where the call might be.

Please make sure the number of your address is in a very visible location so that it can be seen from the road.

If residents have any questions where to get the number, let the squad know. TheyÕ ll be happy to help.

Make sure everyone in the home knows that address, even small children. They might be the one calling 911 for your emergency.

Clear driveways. Keep driveways clear of low-hanging limbs. This will make it easier to get the ambulance to you without damaging the vehicle or knocking antennas off.

CPR. Everyone should know CPR, including children ItÕ s easy to learn and only takes a few minutes.

Learning “Hands only CPR” means trainees will be taught to do compressions only. Once a personÕ s heart stops beating, the brain will start to die in four-to-eight minutes. It takes the Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad an average of eight minutes on average to get out of service, not counting the travel time necessity to get to the emergency.

If residents can do CPR until they get to the patientÕ s side, it might make a difference. For more information, call 873-2122.

Running calls at the patientÕ s home. Residents may have heard that the squad has responded to the personÕ s home and did everything they could right there when

the person has stopped breathing and no longer has a pulse.

Why do they do that?

A few reasons. For most calls, an Advanced Life Support, EMT is responding. For these types of calls, this person can do everything an ER can do but right at the patientÕ s side. Therefore, the patient is getting care sooner.

The quality of care is also much better in one location than in the back of a moving ambulance. During these calls, squad members try to keep the family updated on the details of what is happening to their loved one.

If you need more information on this procedure and/ or need more information on Health Care Proxy, Living Wills and DNRs, give the station a call at 873-2122.

Those interested in CPR classes or volunteering can call the same number. Ò We are very proud of our members and their dedication to this agency,” said Patty Bashaw. “Be part of this amazing group.”

Contact Patty Bashaw at car3ofa@gmail.com or 8732122.

2013 BY THE NUMBERS • • • • • • • •

246 calls, with an average of 4 members per call 258.52 out of service hours 1007.44 man hours logged 898.4 loaded miles logged 79 Advanced Life Support Calls (76 in 2010) 80 patients from Elizabethtown 49 patients from Lewis 111 patients from the immediate response area, including ALS linkups and calls off the Northway.

• Each squad member at the very minimum put in 10 hours of training this year with many others putting in as much as 220 hours. The agency supports these members by covering the cost of training.

5-0: It’s unanimous: Elizabethtown okays comprehensive plan

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Following years of focus groups, public meetings, presentations, grant applications and a revolving door of consultants spread across two administrations, Elizabethtown now has a comprehensive plan.

The resolution sailed through the town board 5-0 on Tuesday, Sept. 16.

By all accounts, the meeting was a sedate affair, a sharp contrast to a public hearing last month that sparked outbursts questioning legal procedure when it came to entering public comment into the official record and the validity of the document’s sponsoring body, the planning board.

Supervisor Noel Merrihew said he appreciated everyoneÕ s patience.

“We now have a document that everyone is satisfied with,” he said.

Comprehensive plans are commonly referred to as “roadmaps” designed to guide municipal futures. The state is gradually requiring towns to implement them in order to be eligible for an increasingly-competitive grant application process.

Any proposals contained within the plan would be treated like any other resolution brought before the town board.

For members of the planning board, the all-volunteer committee that spearheaded the process and shepherded it to completion, the eighth draft was the charm.

“I’m very happy about it,” said planning board member Elena Borstein. ÒN ow we will be able to start updating the codes and local land use laws.”

Revision of the townÕ s arcane land use laws was one of the few points that all stakeholders agreed on.

“Our zoning laws are terrible,” Elizabethtown Zoning Board member Helen DeChant said at last monthÕ s public hearing. Ò We go through and try to make sense of them. They donÕ t cover what needs to be covered. We need to redo them and make businesses and people want to come here.” ÒWh at weÕ re doing is not for us right now, itÕ s for our children and grandchildren, the future of this town,” said Margaret Bartley, a former town supervisor.

Ken Fenimore, a local civic watchdog, said he supports the

Annual car and truck show has arrived

PORT HENRY Ñ The fourth annual Town of Moriah Classic Car and Truck Show will take place Saturday, Oct. 4, at the Knights of Columbus from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Trophies will be awarded at 1 p.m. This is a free admission event and open to the public. The show car registration is $10. Call 546-7852 for information. All car show donations benefit cancer research at the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center in Plattsburgh. The Knights of Columbus chicken barbecue will open to the public at 11:30 a.m. with $10 cost.

boardÕ s decision. ÒB y their actions and tuning of the document, the board has put themselves a position of authority of what happens therein.”

Fenimore still maintains that most policies pitched within the plan, like beautification blueprints, are projects the town could have undertaken themselves.

He also stressed the importance of public hearings should the town wish to amend the document in the future.

Merrihew said the town has already started work on the application for a state grant that will facilitate review of their zoning laws, a project independent of the comprehensive plan.

The town aims to take a “surgical approach” in addressing specific issues, he said.

If funded, that process will begin early next year.

Lake Placid, Lewis and Willsboro have all recently adopted comprehensive plans.

environmental issues

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Aaron Woolf, a Democrat running to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens, is seeking to position himself as an ecological champion.

With the Saranac River as a backdrop, Woolf said at a press conference here on Sept. 19 that he would work to attract investment in the renewable energy sector. Ninety-four percent of the districtÕ s electricity, he said, is generated by renewables, one third of which are produced in the North Country.

Companies in the districtÕ s renewable energy sector have become a model for the rest of the nation, he said.

The candidate said he would work to reauthorize the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit, a device that reduces federal income taxes of owners of renewable energy projects based on electric output of grid-connected renewable energy facilities.

Woolf also said he would fight for legislation like the Land & Water Conservation Fund, the federal program that provides resources for conservation easements.

This, he said, helps farmers stay in business and create jobs.

Earlier that morning, Woolf received an endorsement from the New York League of Conservation Voters, the only statewide environmental organization that endorses candidates. Ò The Adirondacks is the very soul of the North Country and our natural resources is the main reason why people choose to live here,” said board member Lawrence Schillinger. Ò Aaron will be a champion of that, he has a progressive, forward-looking and bold vision.”

Woolf was also endorsed by Tim Burke, VermontÕ s former Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner, who currently lives in Whallonsburg. Ò I trust Aaron Woolf to get us the environmental infrastructure investments that will bolster our economy and create jobs in the North Country,” Burke said. “He understands that a clean environment is important to a thriving economy.”

Woolf also expressed pride that the state is a charter member of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, calling it a Ò a sensible state-led effort” that is cutting carbon emissions without raising prices. Ò I think all of us who dug out after the last set of hurricanes knows that we have already seen enough 500-year storms and flooding to convince us that an action plan is needed,” he said, criticizing the states that he said have done little to curb their carbon emissions.

Woolf sought to portray his Republican opponent, Elise Stefanik, as pursuing policies that would be detrimental for the environment. He said Stefanik opposes federal subsidies to companies for alternative energy projects and supports the expansion of coal power. Ò How can she be against supporting one of our vital, vanguard sectors right here in the North Country, but sheÕ s apparently perfectly happy to continue subsidizing Big Oil to the tune of billions of dollars each year?” asked Woolf. Ò I think the problem is that her oneliners might make perfect sense in Washington Ñ and they might help you get elected in some parts of the country Ñ but they donÕ t add up here in the North Country.”

Woolf did not mention Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello.

“LEVEL PLAYING FIELD” Ò Before Aaron Woolf was even registered to vote in the District, Elise long ago released her plan to promote energy independence and support renewables in our District,” said Stefanik spokesperson Charlotte Guyett in response to WoolfÕ s comments.

Guyett pointed at StefanikÕ s energy plan as one that strongly supports a national energy policy that increases American-made energy, reduces the countryÕ s dependency on foreign oil, protects the environment and brings down energy costs for state residents.

At the Adirondack Local Government Review BoardÕ s meeting in July, Stefanik called for a complete overhaul of the nationÕ s energy program. Increased competition, she said, would lower energy prices.

Stefanik called for a level playing field for renewables. Ò Ethanol props up one sector at the expense of others,” she said.

At that meeting, Stefanik said she would work with state and federal officials to support invasive species initiatives, partner with state

and local leaders on FEMA related issues, support investment in infrastructure projects and grow the stateÕ s timber and biomass industries, viewpoints that Woolf has also generally espoused.

Fracking is the exception.

Woolf has argued if companies choose to frack, they must abide by the Safe Drinking Water Act and allow a space for local stakeholders to chime in; Stefanik has said little on the manner.

CRUDE Ò New York needs an all-of-the-above energy approach,” said Guyett in an email on Sunday. Ò ThatÕ s why weÕ re glad that Aaron Woolf now shares EliseÕ s position in support of the Keystone Pipeline.”

“In this election,” Guyett added, “the greatest investor in and financial backer of ‘Big Oil’ is Aaron Woolf.

Woolf, like Owens, has said he supports Keystone, the controversial pipeline that will ferry Canadian crude from its source in Alberta to Midwest refineries and terminals on the Gulf Coast, but only because the alternative, like transporting oil by rail, is far more dangerous.

The candidate was criticized earlier this year when he revealed in financial disclosure forms that he and his wife had invested $800,000 in about a dozen international oil companies, including Chevron and Regency Energy Partners, a natural gas pipeline operator.

Woolf spokesman Yianni Varonis said on Monday that the candidate opposes the countryÕ s current tax law that legally allows Big Oil and the richest corporations to avoid billions of dollars in tax obligations, something he said Stefanik strongly supports.

“In order to level the playing field for the middle class and our small businesses, Aaron Woolf will continue working to make the corporate tax code fairer,” said Varonis in an email. Ò Aaron WoolfÕ s wife and family are not running for U.S. Congress Ñ Aaron is. His personal portfolio, separate from his wife, does not invest directly in any oil companies. Further, Aaron Woolf has no vote in his wifeÕ s familyÕ s investment portfolio; and his wife is only a minority voter in her familyÕ s investment portfolio.”

GREEN NEW DEAL Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello said the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit would only benefit a few large corporations, like General Electric. Ò IÕ m not sure if we should reward people engaging in terrible behavior,” said Funiciello in an interview. Ò This would only apply to two percent of the largest corporations.”

The candidate called for the creation of public utilities companies, solar, wind and water facilities owned by the United States, an overhaul that would be paid for by the domestic reinvestment of the trillions spent in overseas efforts.

Such a measure, he said, would also be a big employer. Ò ItÕ s good for the environment and good for us as consumers and workers.”

The candidate is unequivocal on both Keystone and fracking: Ò We need to ban hydrofracking, not just in New York, but nationally,” he said. “I’m 100 percent against Keystone.”

Funiciello said the problem that neither major party is addressing is that of energy independence.

The country needs to pick a date and stick with it, he said. The Green Party has set 2030 for theirs.

The candidate said his opponents wonÕ t advocate for such proposals because it wonÕ t turn it a substantial profit. Ò I donÕ t see where the campaign donations would come from,” he said.

Last week, Woolf and Stefanik also announced that they would appoint grant coordinators on their staffs to link constituents with federal funds, including the districtÕ s agricultural stakeholders.

At FridayÕ s event, Woolf was endorsed by Simon Conroy, a local farmer.

“We all want healthy Main Streets,” said Conroy. Ò ItÕ s time for us to get it right with public policy.”

Funiciello said he would defer to farmers themselves to make policy instead of the other way around. Ò I would say to them, Ò The Farm Bill is not gearing towards helping you. What can you do to interject our voice into the Farm Bill each year? It contains 1,000 terrible things and three that aren’t as bad.”

Shakespeare Company From page 1

Bradway and Siler began to explain their vision. The next two hours flew by as the two young creative minds detailed what the Adirondack Shakespeare Company is all about. ÒS hakespeare is meant to be heard, not developed internally,” said Siler, as he and Bradway explained how intimidating the literature can be. ÒS hakespeare is not easy to deliver well and sometimes hard to understand. Some people just had a bad experience with it, probably in high school.”

The two founders then began to describe that this is exactly why they do what they do. When everything is stripped away, the underlying message is then easier to understand and thus more likely to be felt.

“We got rid of the fancy costumes,” said Bradway, “we are resourceful.” The Adirondack Shakespeare Company went to Home Depot for props, allowed actors to use items from their own wardrobe, and let the play speak for itself.

The traveling theater company doesnÕ t even have rehearsal times. There is one 15 hour rehearsal period where the play is ran through by the cast but that is it.

“It felt tired,” said Bradway on how regularly rehearsed plays were going, “Organic is definitely the word to describe the process.”

Bradway and Siler are all about the “energy” of their productions. They want the interaction between cast members and the audience to feel like a naturally flowing conversation. ÒW e want people to discover the play moment to moment like people discover life moment to moment,” Siler remarked like a true artist. “Our productions are Ô rawÕ , if we were using it in the cooking sense.”

Siler continued on to break down the process in terms that were easy for a non-theater goer to understand. ÒM ost things are...over-cooked. The Ô meatÕ of the story is overdone, covered with cheese and sauces.”

The Adirondack Theater Company takes a seemingly unorthodox yet beautiful approach to something so classic as Shakespeare. These professionally trained actors, all hired out of New York City, must know the plays through and through- so well that they are able to almost improvise as the production could take a turn at any moment. ÒA ctors need to be like a verse-speaking classical theater ninja,”Siler said as he laughed,

CV • Valley News - 19

www.valleynewsadk.com Òt hey need to be able to move the way the play decides to move.”

This lively take on Shakespearian drama that calls for an immense level of talent and a very specific type of actor. In order to meet these needs, Bradway and Siler have an extremely intensive audition process. The auditions last for up to an hour, whereas average theater auditions run anywhere from one to five minutes.

Actors may read a monologue if they have one prepared, but Bradway said she requires all actors to audition within a group as well. By having the characters interact with one another, Bradway is able to see how they will feed off of each other’s energy and fit the balance the company is looking for.

“It is still weird to think that it works,” said Bradway.

Weird, maybe, but it definitely is working.

Siler noted one of his favorite memories of a production that proved their message was getting through. During their first summer, the Adirondack Theater Company was performing Romeo and Juliet. Siler remembered a small, four year old girl who attended the play with her parents and sisters. If she didnÕ t like it, the parents said they would have to leave, but to SilerÕ s surprise, the little girl didnÕ t blink. ÒS he sat riveted to every word as it happened in front of her,” said Siler. “She was completely identifying with this actor playing Juliet, who was 32 years old!” Bradway remembered and said excitedly.

After the play, Bradway and Siler said the young girl asked her father to go talk to Juliet to make sure she was okay. If a romantic classic, so rich and elaborate in language, could move a little girl, imagine how many more people will connect with this production style.

Their love for these moments and their desire for more like them have prompted Bradway and Siler to offer main stage programming for Fall 2014.

The Adirondack Shakespeare Company will present The Taming of the Shrew for the first time as well as Macbeth, paying tribute to their first season. The company will take an original approach to The Taming of the Shrew that will have audiences in stitches.

“The show is really funny but difficult to do,” said Bradway. ÒT he way we are presenting it will attack the tough issues more easily.”

Both Siler and Bradway seem elated to continue their busy summer into the fall. Last yearÕ s production had an excellent turnout so the company was excited to try their hand at another fall

season. ÒI donÕ t like the word Ô off-seasonÕ , I donÕ t want there to be an off-season,” said Bradway.

Bradway explained how the fall season lends itself to such a different experience than the companyÕ s summertime productions. ÒT he plays are more close-knit and we hit a different audience,”she said. “People who are busy and working all summer can now enjoy the same great art they have been waiting for.”

The Farm to Table Event will kick off the fall tour and be hosted at the Whallonsburgh Grange on Friday, Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m. The celebration will have a food and drink tasting of local favorites followed by a presentation of The Taming of the Shrew. Bradway says the event pays tribute to the local culture in combination with the open-

ing show.

The Adirondack Theater Company will be performing at the Whallonsburg Grange, The Strand Theater, The Tannery Pond Community Center, The Indian Lake Theater, The Upper Jay Art Center, The Bullhouse, and The National Museum of Dance. Check their website for dates and times to view the productions.

This professional theater company gives an untraditional look at two very traditional pieces, promising audiences something nothing short of electric. The Adirondack Theater Company brings our community something progressive, original, and ground-breaking. ÒY ou donÕ t have to go all the way to New York City,” says Siler, “it is right here.”

Au Sable Forks From page 1

While other districts also have televised morning announcements, Thatcher said he couldnÕ t think of any others who streamed theirs live and did so on the cheap, using not much more than a green screen, forgotten equipment cobbled together from supply closets and a $100 piece of software.

“It took me a while to set everything up to talk to each other,” said Thatcher. “With today’s technology, you can do everything inexpensively.”

This weekÕ s reporters, Hailey Tender and Marlena Malskis, are returning for their second year in the anchor seats, which will be rotated weekly between the fifth and sixth grades.

“It’s fun and gives us something to do in the morning,” said Malskis. “We like pizzazz.”

The pair giggled and sung a song about getting ice cream at StewartÕ s Shops.

Thatcher beamed.

“It’s fun,” he said. “We want the students to get the news they need, but not be too strict about it.”

Thatcher toyed with various versions last year before making the jump to the green screen.

“Sometimes there’s a hiccup, but it’s relatively stable,” he said.

Last week, the first week of classes, was Spirit Week. Tender and Malskis delivered their morning dispatch wearing William & Mary t-shirts in front of a beamed-in backdrop of the schoolÕ s distinctive Wren Building.

For his next project, Thatcher envisions something he calls SchoolTube, a YouTube channel for schools across the North County to post and share videos.

“It’ll be a place for Grandma to watch,” said Thatcher.

Principal Ginene Mason said the morning newscast was exciting. Ò ItÕ s a nice blend of technology and the English language arts skills that are required as part of Common Core,” she said. “It’s the perfect way to showcase public speaking skills.”

NO EXCUSES In addition to the revamped morning show, AFES hopes to become the third school in New York to participate in the No Excuses University, an initiative designed to promote early college readiness.

To gain entry, the school must show accomplishments in the six essential systems that the NEU network believes are most critical to improving student achievement.

Mason said not all kids have that early exposure extolling the benefits of higher education, something that puts them at a disadvantage as they enter adulthood.

The schoolÕ s application is due by December.
