State adds 69,000 acres to Park

Plan committee seeks feedback

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — There will soon be a lot more to the Adirondack Park experience for tourists and sportsmen.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo made a trip to the Lake Placid Conference Center Sunday, Aug. 5, to officially sign off on the state’s acquisition of 69,000 acres of land formerly owned by Finch Pruyn for inclusion into the Adirondack Park Forest Preserve.

The state will partner with the Nature Conservancy to conserve the land as well as provide access to areas previously off-limits to many.

“This is a stellar accomplishment and a beautiful gift that we can leave to our children,” Cuomo said.

“This is going to make the

Comprehensive plan committee seeking return of surveys

The Elizabethtown Comprehensive Plan Committee set up a booth at the Farmer’s Market to encourage residents to return the survey they recently sent out.

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown Comprehensive planning committee is seeking input from town residents in the return of the surveys they recently sent out.

According to the committee, the Comprehensive Plan is a plan that reflects the voices and the opinions of the Elizabethtown community and its citizens.

Members of the community, who want to have a say in the Town’s future, develop the comprehensive plan.

“Let’s work together to make a great town even better — It’s time to get involved,” a committee press release said.

“If you haven’t already done so, please send your Elizabethtown Survey in, this is your first opportunity to help formulate

the plan. Then, Join us on Saturday, Aug. 18, from 9 a.m. to noon at the UCC Parish Hall for our first Comprehensive Planning workshop, where we will work together to collect input, suggestions and opinions.”

Also according to the committee, a town with a Comprehensive Plan has a better chance of securing State and Federal Grant money for community projects.

New Businesses are more likely to come to a Town that has a positive vision of the future. The plan provides guidelines for Town officials who make decisions about the town’s future. The Plan also protects the Town from outside forces that could bring about unwanted changes in our Town.

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — In the wake of recent animal cruelty cases in the region, the North Country SPCA and Essex County Board of Supervisors are joining together to crack down.

Board chairman Randy Douglas said that he would look into forming a county subcommittee tasked with working to improve laws and punishments for animal cruelty during the Aug. 6 regular board meeting.

“That is very alarming, some of the cases that you have brought to our attention,” Douglas said following a presentation by NCSPCA board member Jessica Hartley. “I will adhere to your request and look to appoint a task force.”

Hartley spoke with members of the board about the need for stricter penalties for animal cruelty cases.

“In the last month alone, we have had six new cases of animal cruelty in Essex County,” Hartley said. “These were clear-cut cases of animal cruelty and neglect, and these are just the cases that we know of.This is more than just an animal welfare issue.

There is a link and a strong correlation between animal cruelty and domestic and child abuse.”

Hartley said that she felt an effective committee would consist of a pair of supervisors along with representatives from the district attorney, sheriff, probation department, lo-

cal humane organizations and public.

“We sat down with the sheriff's department and D.A. for a discussion on this matter last month and came up with a list of goals for preventing animal cruelty,” Hartley said. “We felt that a committee like this could aid in the prevention and prosecution of animal cruelty cases in Essex County.”

District Attorney Kristy Sprague said that she was behind the idea.

“We broke down the law element by element and there needs to be some sort of update with the law on the state level and on the local level,” Sprague said. “We need to start going over what we can do locally until the state steps up

to do something. I am fully committed to this task force, along with the Sheriff's Department and the probation department.”

Hartley said that the committee would have to work toward better local laws concerning animal cruelty, enhanced means and methods for caring for animals removed from abusive situations, education and training on animal cruelty laws and cases, standardized job descriptions for animal control officers, mutual aid agreements between town animal control officers, public education and awareness of animal cruelty, along with anti-cruelty task forces in New York and Vermont working together.

BOE to send out mail-check cards Essex County supervisors pass

By Keith Lobdell North Country CC budget keith@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — In case you have not been able to tell by the constant, “I’m (insert name here), and I approve this message,” advertisements, there is an important election coming up soon.

The Essex County Board of Elections wants to make sure that all registered voters who want to participate in the 2012 General Election and the primary elections in September can do so.

To help, the BOE is sending out mail-check cards, which are sent to registered voters with their name, voting district, polling location and current address.

Republican Commissioner Derinda Sherman said that those who receive the cards should take a moment to make sure that the information on them is accurate.

“There are a lot of registered voters who still have their pre E-911 addresses on their voter registration,” Sherman said. “Some others have given us a post office box, but what we need is the updated, physical address of each registered voter.”

Sherman added that accuracy is needed when putting a registered voter into their proper voting district.

“We have seen where someone may not have updated their address and were not included on the rolls of their polling district,” she said. “That can lead to problems when someone comes in to vote and is told that

they are not on the rolls.”

Sherman said that any changes should be made on the card and returned to the BOE as soon as possible, but that the deadline date for those was Oct. 12.

The mail-check cards are yellow in color, and will include the following information: name of registered voter at the address mailed to, where their polling site is located and if that site has changed, along with if the site is handicapped accessible (Sherman said that all are).

Any needed changes can be made either by returning the card through the mail to the BOE or delivering it to the offices in Elizabethtown.

The state and local primary will be held on Thursday, Sept. 13. Currently, only two local primaries are being contested with a Republican race for town justice in Moriah and a Republican race for tax collector in Jay. The primary will not be held on the traditional Tuesday, Sept. 11, as it is the federal Patriot Day holiday. Sept. 11, 2001, was also a primary election day in New York state.

The General Election will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 6, with voters being asked to make their votes for president of the United States (incumbent D-Barack Obama, R-Mitt Romney); federal senator (incumbent DKirsten Gillibrand, R-Wendy Long); federal 23rd Congressional District (incumbent DBill Owens, R-Matt Doheny); New York State 114th Assembly District (D-Dennis Tarantino, R-Dan Stec), along with other state and local elections.

The board also approved changing the way taxpayers receive information on how much of their money is being spent on unfunded state mandates.

Last year, supervisors were flooded with calls from residents who thought their taxes had spiked after creating a line item on tax bills showing how much of the tax levy was being used to support mandates.

Since then, the county has dropped that approach and will now send out separate flyers with tax bills to explain how the levy breaks down.

“We really seemed to confuse people last year,” Connell said. “We tried something last year and it did not work. I believe that this will be more clear for our taxpayers.”

Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley asked if the supervisors would be able to see the flyers before they were sent out.

“We can do that,” County Manager Daniel Palmer said. “However, you had seen the bills before they went out last year and you seemed pretty confident about them.” and/or phone conferencing may take place.

ELIZABETHTOWN — The 2012-13 North Country Community College spending plan has the backing of Essex County.

The Board of Supervisors voted to adopt the NCCC budget during its Aug. 6 meeting but said that they are concerned with having to adopt the plan well before they start their own budget process.

“It is always difficult voting on the college budget outside of the normal budget process,” Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell said. “We looked at every other agency last year and make some cuts, but we did this way before we were in that mindset.”

“This will not be open for negotiation,” Essex Supervisor Sharon Boisen said. “Last year we were trying to cut this budget when we had already approved the appropriations earlier in the year.”

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said that he would vote for the budget, but did agree with Willsboro Supervisor Ed Hatch, the lone vote against, that more consolidation efforts needed to be looked at.

“I support the college but I do want to say that the point that Mr. Hatch brought up as well as Mr. (Ron) Jackson when he was on the board about the feasibility of a consolidation,” Scozzafava said. “If Clinton would come to the table, I think that we should look at that.”

NCCC President Dr. Steven Tyrell said the school is always looking for ways to share services and lower costs.

“We always have to look at ways that we can share services with other entities in the area,”

Tyrell said. “It makes sense to do. There is a lot of rhetoric about shared services, but the proof is in the pudding. If there are places where we can save money, we can do that.”

The 2012-13 NCCC budget calls for the increase in expenditures to $13,630,00, with Essex and Franklin counties asked to contribute $1,190,000 to the school, the same amount they put into the 2011-12 budget. Of that, $1,140,000 would go towards operations of the school and the remaining $50,000 would be used in the capital fund account of the college.

Is there hope for a sequel?

E

veryone likes to get away for a while, to escape their worries and the daily grind and escape, even if it is just for a couple of hours.

One of the best ways to do that is by going to the movies, where audiences are taken on an adventure, made to laugh or cry, and even given a chance to think.

Don’t believe us? Then let’s look at the numbers. The top three grossing movies of 2011 (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II,” “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”) made $947.5 million.

However, people throughout the North Country may soon lose their access to Hollywood, and it will be Hollywood’s fault.

You see, by the end of next year, every motion picture studio will be making the changeover to 100-percent digital distribution. Your children will soon view 35mm film in the same way they view dial-up internet connections, phones with cords, floppy disks and cell phones you could not text on.

So how are the movie companies helping theaters out? In the case of several small, independently owned local establishments, they are not. Their message is loud and clear: either pay an average of $100,000 per screen to convert to digital or find yourself as extinct as the featured characters in “Jurassic Park.”

Another option is to lease the digital equipment from the movie companies. Sounds good, right? Wrong. Any theater that entered into a lease would be under the control of, “the man,” only being able to show the movies given to them by the companies. For places like the Palace Theater in Lake Placid, the Hollywood in Au Sable Forks or the Strand in Schroon Lake, this would mean all of the special shows that they put on during the holidays or to support local volunteers would go out the window.

The cold truth is, why would the movie companies care about these three theatres, when they only have seven screens total ?

(Palace - 4, Hollywood - 2, Strand - 1) Why would they care about the one-screen State Theater in Tupper Lake, the one-screen Strand in Plattsburgh, the single screen at the Indian Lake Theater, or the two screens at the Glen Drive-In of Queensbury? That’s a grand total of 12 screens.

Think about that. In the entirety of the Adirondack Park, there are only nine movie

screens (the Glen and Plattsburgh Strand are located outside the Blue Line). Why would big movie companies care about these theaters when there are 21 screens between the Cumberland 12 and Regal Cinemas 8?

While Cumberland is an independent multiplex, Regal Cinemas at Champlain Centre also has the backing of 6,463 screens in 555 locations across the United States. Again, why would big companies care about nine screens in an area the size of several states when they have all of these others? Another case of the little man getting stepped on.

And if you are thinking that this is no big deal, here’s some data for you. According to a study done by the Adirondack Film Society, the local Adirondack movie screens attract over $11 million in spending to the region each year. That is almost $1.3 million in estimated sales tax revenue (state and local) that is desperately needed by the communities and counties that make up the park. That is another big hit when you add the fact that another big man—the state—is keeping the little man down with a two-percent tax cap.

These theaters need to survive. They need the help of the state and their local communities, or they are going to be gone forever. We urge the North Country Regional Economic Development Council to do all that they can to provide funding so these theaters can purchase their own digital projectors and screens so they can continue to provide entertainment to their communities. We note that it is also alarming that during a press conference last week, those who have been seeking grant funds for this undertaking said that they were refused entrance into the NCREDC funding pool because they were, “five minutes late,” in submitting their application. We thought the NCREDC was here to work with local businesses, not add more red tape to their plight.

Luckily, the group was able to get in an application for a consolidated grant directly to the state, which we feel must be approved.

If not, this could be the biggest cliffhanger ever seen for these local theaters, with no hopes of a sequel.

Four more years of gridlock

G

ridlock and continued widening of the gap between the two political parties on the Federal level, leaves most Americans questioning how we will ever resolve the many problems facing the nation.

Both parties have taken political spin mastery to outrageous new levels. Playing to the outer limits of their political bases have done nothing positive for the country and thus it leaves only division, anger, confusion and misinformation among the masses.

More and more American citizens are realizing that neither party has their best interest at heart. Playing chicken, showing complete disrespect for each other and the offices they hold, leaving the country deep in debt while failing to control spending and yet promising that their party alone can solve the ever growing problems facing our nation is leaving citizens with little choice and opportunity. The American political system is now seriously broken and no one in a leadership role nor established party seems prepared to modify their approach in an effort to fix it. Instead this election is shaping up to be just another head bashing, over promising, negative and deeply dividing event sure to leave many frustrated voters wondering how much longer we can tolerate the sad state of the country.

It’s doubtful we will see well recognized national figures break ranks from the established parties, join together and provide serious solutions while proving their genuine sincerity, I fear we will be left once again hoping something will change. We need to face the simple fact that neither party candidate will win with a national mandate thus forcing the losing party to dig in their heels even further, causing even greater stonewalling and the only things growing will be gridlock, unemployment and the national debt. We all know it’s going to happen like the car accident that happens before your eyes in slow motion. Gridlock is the only thing Washington has mastered over the last 20 years and it insures the status quo of “If we can’t win then we’ll keep you from being successful at all costs so we have a better chance next time around”. That game may work for the politicians but it’s done little for the country and its future generations.

Somehow, someway we need to break this cycle and scare the “you know what” out of two established parties. They need to understand that they stand, oh so close, to the abyss and the American public won’t tolerate this foolishness any longer. The big problem, is there a nationally recognized and well fi-

nanced figure out their who could step in at this late date and make a serious bid for the Presidency? The individual Dan Alexander or group would Thoughts from Behind the Pressline have to be so very well established, not seen as a polarizing figure, have unlimited funds and be fearless in the face of a tremendous onslaught from both parties. While such a candidacy might not succeed it could be just enough to bring the two parties to the simple realization that they had better find solutions now or surely be prepared to face an even tougher challenge in 2016.

Currently there are five major third or alternative parties in the United States and dozens of lesser know third parties. Gary Johnson the former governor of New Mexico, ran for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, running on a platform based on legalization of marijuana, and is the leading candidate for the Libertarian party nomination.

Despite dropping out of the Republican race a week before the Iowa caucuses, Mr. Johnson has not given up his hopes of competing for the White House in November. Having switched to the third party, Mr. Johnson says he is confident that he will be one of three people to compete in all 50 states in the fall along with Jim Gray, a former California judge, as his vice presidential running mate.

I find it hard to believe Mr. Johnson’s candidacy will do little to impact the results this fall.

Despite how frustrated the American public may be with the Washington leadership, and the current two established choices, a third party candidate like Mr. Johnson is just not up to the monumental task of even making a dent in the 2012 political scene. But a serious dent is exactly what’s needed to shake up the established parties and bring them back to the getting things done. Until the two parties see their existence and power seriously threatened, why should they alter the good thing they have going? It’s sad but it seems no one is prepared to save us from yet another four years of gridlock reruns, Washington bickering and further indebtedness and that is my greatest fear of exactly what we’ll have more of regardless of who we elected in 2012.

Tournament supported To the Valley News: On Saturday, July 28 Literacy Volunteers held its first “READ” the Green Golf Tournament at Craig Wood Golf Course in Lake Placid. Randy Quayle’s team from Lake Placid took first place, followed by Pete Towns’ team from Mineville. Marci Heery’s team from Saranac Lake came in third.

Literacy Volunteers would like to thank the following local businesses that sponsored a hole in the amount of $100: Grand Union, Lakeside Plumbing & Heating, Lockrows, Malone Office Products, Mirror Lake Inn, Mt. View Indian Lake Association, Pat Ida, Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union, Ticonderoga International Paper Mill, and Upstate Agency Insurance. We would also like to thank those who donated prizes for first, second, third and closest to the pin. They are Craig Wood Golf Course, Crowe Plaza Resort & Club, Malone Golf Course, Tupper Lake Golf Course, and Whiteface Club & Resort.

Last but not least, we would like to thank James Wasson Jr, PGA Professional at Craig Wood Golf Course, for helping us put together our first golf tournament. This fundraiser was very successful and all proceeds will benefit Literacy Volunteers’ Adult Literacy programs. We look forward to next year’s event!

Set up for a fall To the Valley News: Thank you Dan Alexander, for acknowledging what many hardworking independent Americans think of Obama’s “You didn’t build that” statement.

Neither Mr. Obama’s nor your positions acknowledges our true debt however, that is, without God none of this would even exist! If anyone “helped us build that” it was the Creator in whom we live and move and have our being.

Indeed our Declaration of Independence declares that we are endowed by “our Creator” with “certain inalienable rights.”

You succinctly stated that, “The American Dream, available to all citizens, is to provide the freedom to own a home, create a life and build a career or a business.

The freedoms our forefather fought and died to preserve are based solely on building a life free from government control.

Yet this wonderful system that has given

our nation so much is now being minimalized by the commander in chief, the leader of the free world, as something that couldn’t exist without government assistance?”

Freedom of religion from government interference was omitted from your otherwise accurate description of the freedoms which our commander in chief has dismissed as unimportant. The free exercise of religion has been integral in the founding and development of every aspect of this great nation.

The first amendment, which states in part “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;” has been abolished in effect by the HHS mandate requiring religious institutions to violate the tenets of their religions.

I hope people are seeing a pattern here.

Since the Colorado shooting I have heard many people say too that “the Second Amendment is outdated and needs to be repealed.” Another freedom is seen as unnecessary.

I hope, at this great height of hubris, we have not set ourselves up for a very great fall.

urrently, 23.1 percent of America’s children are being raised in poverty. That rate puts child poverty in America at a higher rate than in Latvia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania and Slovenia.

It seems inconceivable that a wealthy nation such as ours could host such a dubious distinction.

While no one can deny that

By Scot Hurlburt poverty is advancing in America, there is a substantive divide among Americans regarding what should be done to address the issue.

Phrases such as “haves” and “have nots” or “can” or “can nots” have made their way in to the lexicon. Some believe that if you find yourself mired in a cycle of multigenerational poverty you need only to try a little harder and “pull yourself up by your bootstraps.” This camp offers that the individual is responsible for him or herself in every way, not the government, not your neighbor, only the individual.

Still others believe that the purpose of government is to address the needs of the people and especially those that are impoverished. This camp measures the civility and decency of America by the support it affords the most vulnerable Americans.

While the debate between these two camps wages their respective campaigns, another ominous indicator has come to light in America. Remember when George and Wheezy Jefferson moved up to the East Side and affluence, they were “upwardly mobile.”

Today, the Jefferson’s might not have had that opportunity to better their lives and the lives of their children. Recent research has found that 42 percent of American males raised in the bottom fifth of income, remained there as adults compared to 25 percent in Denmark and 30 percent in England. Only 8 percent of American males who started out at the wage bottom rose to an upper salary position while 14 percent of males in Demark reached higher salaries and 12 percent in England.

The research also has shown that families that save are more upwardly mobile.

Poor families with low incomes often find saving next to impossible. When the car breaks down, medical expenses arise or other essential spending must take place, credit cards with high interest rates become the only option. It is not hard to see how people can enter this impossible debt cycle if credit is the only available option.

Of high saving low income families, 71 percent were able to move out of poverty in a generation, unfortunately the number of poor families achieving high savings is very small.

While we have no control over who our parents are therefore no control over our economic status, I do not believe that we can turn a blind eye to so many American children being raised in poverty. Oklahoma Coach, Barry Switzer so famously said, “some people are born on third base and often go through life believing that they were the ones that hit the triple that put them there.” In other words, if you have it pretty good, show a little humility, share a little of your good fortune with those that don’t have it so good.

Clearly, moving up in America is much more difficult than it was thirty years.

Still, I would like to believe that a person can still improve their lot in America with perseverance and hard work. Millions of American youth are also counting on this possibility.

Remember, all kids count.

Champlain Valley Senior Community assisted living facility have begun construction and plan to be opening doors

by March 2013.

“We want people in the community to know this is new news,” Eli Schwartzberg, developer of Stone Brooks Properties said. “People ask all the time whats going on here and we’re now finally into the construction phase of the project.”

Stone Brooks Properties was able to raise the final amount of money for the project through private investors and local supporters. The company broke ground on the transformation of the former school into an assisted living facility project two months ago.

“The most important thing is we want the community to know this project is going to happen and it’s going to open soon,” Schwartzberg said.

The construction began

with asbestos abatement in the original building and the building’s 1957 addition.

Since, the construction crew of about 40 have been stripping the layers of flooring, removing old ceiling materials, doors and windows while replacing with newer and more energy efficient ones.

Restoring an icon The former Willsboro Central School was built in 1929 and operated as the town’s

central school for 72 years before closing in 2001.

Although the construction crews have begun the building’s transformation from a school to an assisted living facility, Schwartzberg said he wants the building’s past and future to be evident upon the project’s completion.

“The school is a monument in the town and now the old building will be here and in use for hopefully another 100 years,” Schwartzberg said.

The construction crews have preserved murals in the hallways and the scoreboard in the former gymnasium will remain in the dining hall. Old school desks will be used in the reception area and chalkboards with messages of the last day of school will be left intact.

The construction plans also call for keeping the existing wood door frames, allowing for wide hallways to be set up with bookshelves and computer kiosks for residents to use.

The home will feature 64 bedrooms with a maximum residency of 75. Resident’s bedrooms will be in place of former classrooms and will all have a river view, Schwartzberg said.

The facility will also have a doctor ’s office,beauty parlor, ice cream shop and coffee shop with an outdoor seating area to be constructed in the former faculty parking lot off

the south side of the building.

Schwartzberg said the idea will be to have residents living in the center of town to keep their independence attainable and serve to bring members of the community into the home.

“Modern assisted living facilities have a sterile and hospital feel and usually build out of town where residents are disconnected from the core of the community,” Schwartzberg said. “Here, residents will be close to everything and within walking distance.”

When the home is completed, it will serve as a means to keep residents in the Adirondacks after they are no longer able to stay in their homes, Schwartzberg said.

For more information about the construction project or to learn about potential residency at the Champlain Valley Senior Community call 888963-1110.

The event will be held at the Hand House on River Street. For more information about this year's dinner, contact Anne Marie Denton at 873-6402 or Jane Hooper at 873-3003.

The NCSPCA is currently offering free adoption of black cats through the month of August. The top ten reasons to adopt a black cat include: black fur doesn’t show up on dark clothes; black cats are warmer on your lap; holding a black cat is slimming; you can always find black cats in the snow; black cats look like little panthers; luck is on your side if you love a black cat; your biker friends will think you’re cool; a black cat is always in fashion; black is beautiful; and black cars are the least likely to be adopted.

Our featured pet this week is Amethyst, a black Domestic Shorthair-mix who is quite an a elegant young lady. Amethyst

eard from the Village Office that Mike Finnegan was instrumental in raising the money recently through TD Bank here in Keeseville for the improvements to Jaycee Park as he and his family have been long key supporters of the park.

Also from the Village Office I heard how some are not paying attention to Village owned passages ways for water and sewers and are blocking areas with debris. In the case of emergency, the Village needs to have access immediately. Recently I had an after-hours problem with my water, and I was amazed at the thorough and quick response. I appreciate the quality of the managing of our Village.

I want to remind everyone again about the Library’s upcoming book sale. The sale will be Wednesday, Aug. 15, from 10 a.m. until noon and then again 1 until 5 p.m.; Thursday Aug. 16, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Friday, Aug. 17, from 10 a.m. until noon and then 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. The books will be on sale from 25 cents up to $1. Once again this is always a wonderful

sale with many great books.

Another thing that is always a great event is the annual Summertime Multi Artist Art Show and sale Opening Reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16, and Exhibit and sale through Sept. 12.

Here is your chance to support local artists and get great additions to any home.

Through the month of August the Keeseville Farmer ’s Market will still be going on Wednesday in their extended hours until one. There truly is something for everyone at the sale which is going on behind the library by the Ausable River.

The Chesterfield Fish and Game Club is continuing with their newest dimension to their facility with the next International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) CLASSIFIER match on Aug. 18. The Club always welcomes new members and is ready to show beginners all the facets of the organization.

Once again Keeseville has plenty going on for everyone. Enjoy the rest of your summer and all our community has to offer.

H

opeful that you have enjoyed much of the olympics, for us that could not go in person to London, the media coverage allows us to see many of the events and rejoice that the athletes are remarkable.

Closer to home the annual Essex day is now behind us, hopeful that all went well and the committee planned many activities. The very next day there was a wedding taking place in Essex, a very active area.

There is a wonderful international program made available here in our community; where interested high school student from other countries apply to come to the United States for a year and live with a host family to learn more about our way of life. There is still an urgent need for more host families, the students are here awaiting a home. Anyone that would consider being a host family should contact Charlie Lustig for more information call him at 963-7789.

Another opportunity is being offered by

the Farmer's Market staff to sponsor their second Nature Walk on Wednesday Aug. 15, at 1:30 p.m. It is a local walk to explain and identify wild plants, some eatable.

Space is limited and if interested you should call Linda Therrien at 963-4383.

The Fire Department had a great chicken BBQ this past Sunday. The Methodist Church had a wonderful turn out for their last chicken and Biscuit meal.

The Heritage Society has offered some great evening lectures this summer, the next one will take place on Friday, Aug 17, at 7p.m., at the Visitor's Center with Tim Tefft talking about the history of the Adsit Cabin one of our local treasures.

Remaining activities include theater productions, movies, lectures, art exhibits, used book sale, probably more to take in than you will find the time to attend them all.

It seems like this little lady very much wants to be with people, but doesn't quite know how to make the first move. Why not come down to 23 Lakeshore Road and meet her today?

hat a great Westport Festival Day! We're truly fortunate to have all the volunteers, artists, craftspeople, and others who made it happen. And the Depot Theatre Apprentices were absolutely brilliant in As You Like It, directed by Scott Gibbs and Lindsay Pontius. Hannah Looby shone as Rosalind, Alex Steele virtually reinvented the role of Orlando, and Jonathan Magoon and Ethan Markwica struck deft comedic sparks as Touchstone the Clown and Jacques, the melancholy courtier turned clown wannabe. Around these prominent roles the whole company came together as a talented ensemble, with performances that were simply stellar. One of the best years ever. Thank you, everyone! Thank you also to the parents, and to Paul Rossi, who designed eye-catching T-shirts for the cast.

So we segue from busy Festival weekend to busy Essex County Fair Week. Fair highlights include my personal favorite, the pudding eating contest at the EMS hut (!) on Friday, Terry Lee Goffee, the "Ultimate Johnny Cash tribute" on Friday night, and of course the Demolition Derby on Saturday (go, Kalika Hopkins!) and the Tractor

Pull on Sunday. For a full schedule, go to the helpful web site at www.essexcountyfair.org.

This weekend also has the Depot Theatre's Annual Gala Dinner and Auction, which takes place on Saturday, Aug. 11, at the Westport Country Club. In addition to bidding on exciting auction items and enjoying cocktails and a delicious dinner, patrons will mingle with the cast and crew of The Marvelous Wonderettes, who will also provide the evening's entertainment. The Marvelous Wonderettes, currently wowing audiences at the theatre, is this season's third production and runs till August 19.

Other upcoming Depot offerings include Bingo for the Depot on Aug. 14 and Mississippi Voodoo (with the incomparable Beth Glover, star of numerous Depot productions) on Aug. 16. For information on the Gala and these other events, call the Depot box office at 962-4449.

Congratulations to Doris Bodie, winner of the $250 grand prize in the Heritage House "Make It Shine” raffle. And congrats as well to Stephanie Ames, who won the final $50 weekly drawing, as well as the three $75 bonus winners: Austin Martin, Alan Hipps, and Nona Hoskins.

his Saturday, the Aug. 11, Essex Farm hosts a Celebrate Summer open house. Meet in the farmyard at 10 a.m. for a tour of the vegetable, livestock and grain growing enterprises on this large and fascinating farm, which is a mile west of the hamlet on Route 22. The suggested donation is $25 for adults and includes lunch.

The library’s annual bake sale is also this Saturday, to be held on the steps of the Post Office. The sale starts at 9 a.m. and goes until all of the goodies are sold, which happens rather quickly, according to librarian Tom Mangano.

The Totally Tomatoes workshop at the Whallonsburg Grange, originally scheduled for last month, will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 15 from 6 to 9p.m. Sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Grange, this hands-on event will be led by Chef Kevin McCarthy of Paul Smiths College. Call the extension office at 962-4810 to reserve a spot.

On Thursday, Aug. 16, folk musicians Pete Sutherland and Rose Diamond will put on a concert at the Essex Community Church. It starts at 11:30 a.m.

The weather of late has been excellent

for corn, which as a sub-tropical plant thrives on heat and loves a good thunderstorm. The field corn here in Reber is getting taller by the day. Field corn is grown for livestock feed, while the much more sugary sweet corn is preferred by humans.

It’s thought that corn was developed by American Indians in what’s now Mexico about 7,500 years ago, and was widespread in North America by about 4,500 years ago.

Indians bred corn for particular locales, so the corn grown in this area differed genetically from corn grown in Central America, for example. The corn plant itself has two flowers, male and female, with the tassel or male flower, such as it is, growing at the top of the plant. The female flower is the cob, with long silks coming out the end of the cob. Microscopic male pollen drops onto the ends of the silks and travels through the silk to pollinate the future seed, which turns into a kernel at maturity.

Each individual kernel has its own particular silk, literally hundreds making up an ear. How this precarious system works so well is beyond me, but a steamed ear of fresh corn, served up with some salt and pepper and butter, is a delightful summer treat.

Balzac performance

Depot Theatre annual Gala event set for Saturday WESTPORT — Coming Saturday, Aug. 11, is the Depot Theatre’s Annual Gala Dinner and Auction. This exciting tent pole event will feature an opportunity to mingle with the cast and crew of the Depot Theatre’s current production, “The Marvelous Wonderettes,” at the beautiful Westport Country Club.

Guests of this event will enjoy dinner and cocktails and are welcome to join in on bidding at the live and silent auction and to shake a leg on the dance floor.

“The Gala is really my favorite Depot event of the calendar,” says Y. Angel Wuellner, “it’s really a wonderful opportunity for the Depot to thank all of those who support us throughout the year.”

For more information about the Gala and to purchase tickets, contact the Depot Theatre box office at 962-4449.

“The Marvelous Wonderettes,” the Depot Theatre’s third main-stage show is in full swing. This catchy musical set in 1958 is so full of tunes from the 50s.

“They’ll sing all your favorite songs better than you remember them,” Shami McCormick, Artistic Director of the Depot, said.

The show will play at the Depot Theatre until Sunday, Aug. 19.

At the Saturday Aug. 11, 2 p.m. performance,

Buses Continued from page 1 “It does not seem like we are under any time constraints with the New York State DOT so I would like to have the transportation committee look at this and then bring it back to us at budget time where we can make a decision,” Douglas said. “I do not want to get into a situation where we obligate ourselves to do it and then find out that we do not have the money come budget time.”

The resolution calls for the purchase of two buses, along with other equipment and materials, including a lift for working on the vehicles and bus stop shelters. The county would act as the lead agency and be joined by the village of Lake Placid and the Olympic Regional Development Authority, who have previously purchased buses

WESTPORT — On Aug. 15, Sam Balzac's Anti-Student Loan Cabaret: Tonight Only will take place at The Depot Theatre at 8 p.m.

Balzac presents an evening of song, drama, and instrumental music. Invited guest performers include George Cordes, Liz Cordes, Karen Rappaport, Bill Stokes, Peter Craig, and George Davis. Tickets are $15.

For reservations contact 962-4449.

Turkey dinner at Federated WESTPORT — There will be a roast turkey dinner Thursday, Aug. 16, at the Westport Federated Church. Serving starts 4:30 p.m. with takeouts available. Cost is $9 Adults, $4 Children 12 and under.

Westport school board to meet the Depot Theatre and PromCon will be collecting gently worn prom and bridesmaid dresses for charity. Those who are able to donate a dress will receive a complimentary ticket to the Depot Theatre’s final show of the 2012 season, “Real Women Have Curves,” opening Aug. 24.

Bingo for the Depot is happening again on Tuesday, Aug. 14, at the Heritage House in Westport from 6 to 8 p.m.

“Bingo was how the Depot got started,” says Beth Glover, a Depot Theatre Board Member and performer of the upcoming Mississippi Voodoo on Thursday Aug. 16, “We are so thrilled that it is back and people are loving it.”

More information is available regarding upcoming events including the spectacular summer season on the website www.depottheatre.org, by contacting 962-4449 or emailing info@depottheatre.org.

through the county.

The bulk of the funding for the purchases would come from state and federal 5311 funding totalling $1,537,856. Lake Placid and ORDA would pay a little more than $61,000 of an estimated $170,000 local share, while the county would pay $60,418.

“I think that this is a wise move,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said.

“We need to make this decision in conjunction with our total budget,” Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell said. “We have a lot of issues and we need to look at where we are going for money. There is a lot that we want to fund but we do not have the money to fund everything.”

“The idea was, let's restart on this and look at what we need to get and where we can get funding for these,” County Manager Daniel Palmer said.

Scozzafava and others brought up their concerns again that some routes do not sustain themselves.

“Is there any way that we can get a log set up so we can see how many bodies are on those buses each day,” Scozzafava asked.

“I can give you a daily log of the riders but I do not know if everyone would want to sign it,” Transportation Director Nancy Dougal said. “We do have a log of how many people have been on.”

Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston agreed that something should be done with lower ridership routes.

“I do not know how this board can continue to chip in and fund these different programs when the state and federal government continue to withdraw funding,” Preston said. “I really think we need to take a look at the transportation department and

these routes and get rid of the ones that are not performing.”

Palmer said that the board would have to be careful because dropping the number of routes could also drop the amount of funding available.

“If you start taking out routes that are part of our under-served areas, then your chances of getting grants on your stronger areas are going to go down,” Palmer said.

“We don’t want to just assume that we can just throw out all of these low routes and expect that the federal and state government are going to continue to support us.”

“It is a sad state of affairs when you have to have a policy that provides services you do not need in order to get funding for services you do need,” Newcomb Supervisor George Canon replied.

Lemza recalls family vehicle won at the fair

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Tony Lemza remembers well the drives that his family would take in the family’s 1934 Ford sedan.

Lemza, who was a young child at the time, remembers that his family had one of the few cars in town during the midst of the Great Depression.

“Not many people in Moriah had cars, particularly new cars like this,” Lemza said. “I was born in ’32, but I can remember riding in that car when I was a kid.”

Lemza said that he also remembered how his father, Walter, had received the car. He won it at the Essex County Fair.

Lemza said that his father had entered a contest that appeared to have been designed to help boost the economy during tough times.

“Stores in the county were having the contest along with Belden and Edwards Ford in Port Henry,” he said. “If you bought a certain amount in goods (which happened to be 25 cents) from

one of the stores, then you would receive a ticket for an entry into the contest.”

Lemza still has both the ticket and stub that turned out to be lucky for his father. The stub states that the drawing was done by the Essex County Agricultural Society, which operates the fair, along with, “the cooperation of the Merchants of Essex County who will present a coupon with each 25c purchase.”

The drawing took place on Aug. 24, 1934, when the number 28702 was called, which had the name Walter Lemza written on the back of it. To celebrate, a photographer took a picture of Walter receiving the keys from Charles Belden.

“The photo has been in my family ever since, along with the tickets,” Lemza said.

After winning the car, Lemza said that his father took very good care of the vehicle.

“He had a log book in the kitchen that he would write down the odometer numbers every time he returned

from a trip,” Lemza said. “He had even made a garage to store it.”

Lemza added that he felt the quality of care his father gave to the car was based on how fortunate he felt the family was to have it.

“He was just so amazed that he had a car,” Lemza said. “He was an immigrant from Poland who moved here in 1912 and was working hard. It was just so amazing that there was a car being raffled off during the Depression and that through it, he now had this Ford.”

The car remained in the family for about five years, when it was involved in an total-loss accident.

“I can’t remember who was to blame for the crash,” Lemza said. “I think there was some blame on my stepbrother, but I also think there was some coverup in order to hide the real story behind the accident.”

Lemza said that each August he enjoys reflecting on the car and the times during when his family had it.

“It’s fun,” he said. “This is something that we remember every year when the fair comes around.”

County approves emergency bridge funding

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Moriah Center Bridge was scheduled for reconstruction next summer.

That timeline needs to be moved up.

IT’S EASY TO DO THE RIGHT THING Help the environment and save money.

Sign up today for Zero-Sort® Recycling & trash curbside pickup, receive 1 MONTH*...

After the bridge, which is seen as the main artery for the town of Moriah, was redflagged by the New York State Department of Transportation, Essex County Department of Public Works Superintendent Anthony LaVigne got to work seeking alternatives.

“We had to close the bridge or post it, and we posted the bridge with a five ton limit,” LaVigne said.

“The structural component that was flagged was the

steal.The bridge is in design for replacement through a federal aid program and is scheduled for summer of 2013.”

LaVigne presented members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors Aug. 6 with an emergency resolution to start repairing the near-failing structure, which could cost up to $70,000.

That money would be taken from unexpended fund balance.

LaVigne said that the im-

portance of the ridge necessitates its repair.

“This is the busiest bridge that I have on inventory,” he said. “There are more than 3,000 cars per day. The only diesel fuel in town is adjacent to the bridge. The emergency squad that utilizes the bridge. I need to get that bridge open to all traffic.”

LaVigne said he hoped to use four beams that are currently in the county inventory and three more that he has located through a contractor.

When you get inspired to make improvements to the home but fear how much it may take out of your wallet, consider inexpensive tricks that can induce a big “wow� factor. What many homeowners may not realize is that there are many ways to make updates and changes to a home that do not require a major overhaul or a large price tag. The following are seven projects that won’t break the bank.

3. Add new pillows or drapes. Changing a few aspects of a room can give it an entirely new look. If you want to add a splash of color but don’t know what to do, think about incorporating some new throw pillows or change the curtains. An accessory here and there in a bright color also can incorporate a new hue without it being overwhelming.

4. Change knobs or small accents. Give a room a new look by focusing on the small details. Switch out cabinet knobs for something updated and modern. Take inventory of wall 1. Move around furniture.

However, properly illuminating a room means varying the lighting to create different moods at different times.

to hang could instantly change a room’s ambience. Grab your camera and take a few close-up shots of flowers or take in a landscape scenery. Many of today’s home printers can produce professional-quality prints in minutes.

7. Try a new coat of paint. After you’ve exhausted other avenues, choosing a new paint color may be the new look you desire. Painting is one of the least expensive yet most dramatic methods of changing a home’s interior. With dozens of hues to choose from, and new apps that enable you to take snapshots of things in nature or in your life and match them up to a paint color, you will have scores of opportunities to explore fresh new colors for your home.

How to improve your home’s curb appeal

Clean up. The most effective way to improve curb appeal is to clean up the property. Make sure all hedges are trimmed and remove weeds, sticks and other debris from any flower beds. Lay mulch in the flower beds and garden, as mulch prevents weed growth while helping the soil retain moisture, resulting in more attractive gardens.

Edging. Edging is another easy and effective way to improve curb appeal. Edge driveways, sidewalks and other walkways around the property, removing or trimming anything that is hanging over the driveway or walkways. If the boundary between your driveway and lawn is not distinct, consider installing edging materials such as stone or bricks.

Take to the trees. Many homeowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that lowhanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view. Buyers want to see the house, so take to the trees and trim any branches that hang too low or obscure your home.

Waterway restoration work begins on Ausable River in Keene Valley er drops sediment along this slow stretch and must then find alternate routes around deposited gravel, the widening process perpetuates. Furthermore, silt and sand sediments have clogged the gravel beds that trout rely upon for spawning and feeding and caused major deterioration of fish habitat.

Carl Schwartz, New York State Coordinator for FWS’s Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, designed this large-scale restoration project that employs toe wood structures to stabilize and reshape the banks so that they are less erodible and mimic a natural channel as well as log vanes to deflect flow from the banks. Schwartz will oversee the work on the plan which will narrow the channel (speeding the flow and decreasing deposition), decrease erosion, provide habitat for aquatic species, and restore the river ’s access to the floodplain (improving flood resiliency).

“This is a wonderful example of using natural, local materials to improve the river ’s health, build resilience to flooding, while also keeping the river scenic and the costs reasonable,” Martha Naley, FWS Biologist, said.

John Braico of Trout Unlimited is coordinating the project and led teams during several weekends in June as they collected necessary geomorphic measurements to inform Schwartz’s restoration plan.

“This is a win-win situation for the entire community, including the landowners,” Braico said. “For a fraction of the originally-proposed cost, recreational resources like swimming and angling will be drastically improved, as well as the area’s aesthetics.”

Starting on July 14, volunteers and Ward Logging, a lo-

cal company, began harvesting the trees to be used in the stream restoration work that began this week.

“As locals, we’re excited and proud to be fixing our river,” Ward Logging owner Mike Ward said. “It is our river, we fish in it, we canoe it and we all need to take care of it.”

The work will progress through July and into August this year and is the result of a collaboration of local government, landowners, individual volunteers and partner organizations.

“I’m happy to see the project moving forward and am glad we’ve found a way to make it happen with all these partners and volunteers,” Town of Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee said.

To make the restoration project accessible to the community, the Ausable River Association and Essex County SWCD will host workshops at the site on Aug. 16 when Schwartz will use the project to train interested community members about river dynamics and techniques for natural channel design.

“It’s great to be working with such committed partners to accomplish long-needed restoration work on the East Branch.” AsRA’s Director Corrie Miller said. “We’re particularly fortunate that Carl Schwartz is back in our watershed and willing to share his expertise with the community.”

“It’s great to be able to use this project to demonstrate stream restoration, to train people and contractors so that we are better prepared in the future.” said Dave Reckahn, Essex County SWCD Manager.

KEENE VALLEY — Work is underway this week on a river bank stabilization and habitat restoration project along the East Branch of the Ausable River in the hamlet of Keene Valley.

This project is a cooperative effort between Trout Unlimited (TU), the Ausable River Association (AsRA), Essex County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS), the Town of Keene, and local landowners to improve water quality, restore valuable fish and wildlife habitat, and improve flood resilience.

A combination of historic land uses and highly erodible soil has caused this 2,800 foot stretch of river to become over widened, shallow and slow, diminishing the water ’s ability to carry the sediment load from upstream. As a result, over many decades, the area around Rivermede Farm has become a site for gravel and sand deposition. As the riv-

Project Hope to hold open mic night to share experiences of Irene

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com UPPER JAY — A special “Open Mic” night will be held to acknowledge those who have recovered and raise awareness for the many still in need of assistance after Tropical Storm Irene.

The event, “A Little R&R—Tales of Recovery & Resiliency: Untold Stories of Tropical Storm Irene,” will be held Aug. 12 at 7 p.m. in Paul’s Bakery, 12108 NYS Route 9N. The event is aimed at highlighting the experiences of those who rode out the storm and the tremendous aid provided by first-responders and community volunteers.

The floor will be opened to whoever feels

compelled to speak, both invited guest speakers and spontaneous participants, telling their story in “open-mic” fashion.

The evening was constructed by Project Hope, a crisis counseling program created by the state to help in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene. Services are provided through the Mental Health Association in Essex County and is available free of charge to residents across 13 counties that received presidential declarations of disaster, including Clinton and Essex.

Gretch Sando, program coordinator for Project Hope Clinton/Essex, said the event is an opportunity for people in the community to share their experiences, update their neighbors on the progress of rebuilding and a chance to see one another.

“Everyone was impacted or had a part in this and experienced the effects of the storm,” Sando said. “One reason we want to do this is to bring people together to share their stories, people don’t have to talk, they can just listen if they choose, maybe hearing from others will help the healing process.”

Project Hope has been working in the community since the flood waters receded. In November, Project members started going door to door to bring aid to people who were in need but not asking for it.

“We’ve been working continously since November and we’re still finding people who weren’t reached before,” Sando aid.

“People who hadn’t filed for FEMA aide or had but still weren’t receiving help. We’re approaching the one year anniversary of the

‘Sweet Charity’ to benefit Strand Theatre renovations PLATTSBURGH — The musical “Sweet Charity,” with book by Neil Simon, music by Cy Colman, and lyrics by Dorothy Fields, will be presented Aug. 10, 11, and 12 at the E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium in Hawkins Hall located on the SUNY Plattsburgh Campus.

“Sweet Charity” will be accompanied by the Adirondack Jazz Orchestra, featuring the North Country’s premier professional jazz musicians. The event is sponsored by Champlain National Bank, Center Stage Dance Studio, NCCCA Arts Center, and the Strand Restoration Project.

The show centers on the unlikely heroine, Charity Hope Valentine, who is a taxi dancer at the fandango ballroom in the late 1960s.

Popular musical numbers include “Big Spender,” “If My Friends Could See Me Now,” “There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This,” “I'm a Brass Band” and ”Baby, Dream Your Dream.”

“Sweet Charity” accompanied by the AJO was conceived by director, Derrick A. Hopkins.

“Last summer, I became aware of the terrific work happening at the NCCCA Arts Center and the Strand,” he said. “I learned how close they are to meeting their capital campaign to reopen the Strand as a viable facility for all artists. I knew I had to do something. So I called up Jennifer Moore (Music Director), Antonette Knoedl (Choreographer), Matt Pray (AJO Director), Janine Scherline (Executive Director of the NCCCA Arts Center) and Leigh Mundy (President of the NCCCA Arts Center) and we came up with this outstanding project to benefit all artists and to provide a highly enjoyable evening to theatre goers.”

“We are so honored and grateful for their support of the Strand Restoration,” Leigh Mundy who is overseeing the Strand Restoration. “I can’t wait to see what Derrick and the AJO are going to do with Sweet Charity and I hope each show will be sold out.”

“I am both honored and excited to be a part of this show,” Jennifer Gero, who plays the title role, said. “I never realized how much I missed the Arts during my 13 year vacation from the stage. I am amazed at the talent in our community. Singing a long with the AJO for the first time was invigorating! I'm am hopeful that our performance will raise sufficient funds to finish the restoration of The Strand. Being cast in this role has brought back a part of me that I thought was ancient history. I hope the restoration project will bring theater and the arts back to others, just like this project has done for me.”

Performances are schedule on Aug. 10 at 7:30 p.m., Aug. 11 at 7:30 p.m., and Aug. 12 at 6:30 p.m. in the fully air conditioned E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium. Tickets are $20 General Admission, $15 Seniors (62+) & Students (13-17). A Family Value package is also being offered: two General Admission Adults & Each Child (5-12) is only $10 each.

Parking is limited for this event due to construction on campus, so plan to arrive early enough to find a space. All proceeds benefit the Strand Restoration.

For more information contact: NCCCA Arts Center (563-1604), Derrick A. Hopkins 572-4272, info@plattsburgharts.org or dhopkins@willsborocsd.org.

storm and people are still dealing with the physical damage and the emotional repercussions of post traumatic stress syndrome.”

Sando said she hopes community members will see the event as an opportunity to hear from their neighbors about how far the community has come since the storm and how much is still left to put back together.

Admission to the storytelling and openmic program is free, and refreshments from Paul’s Bakery will be available for purchase.

Earlier that evening, from 5 to 7 p.m., the bakery will be serving dinner for a set price, and people are invited to stay for the stories.

For additional information on, “A Little R&R—Tales of Recovery & Resiliency,” as well as Project Hope, contact Sando at 5249616.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Rabies is a virus that affects the central nervous system in mammals and is always fatal if left untreated. It is almost always transmitted through saliva when an infected animal bites an animal or person.

Wildlife accounts for over 90 percent of all reported rabies cases each year in the U.S. Raccoons, bats, and skunks are responsible for most reported cases, but foxes, coyotes and other smaller mammals may also transmit the disease.

The Wildlife Services (WS) program of the USDA is working to protect people and pets from the threat of rabies in Essex County. WS is distributing an oral rabies vaccination (ORV) bait to vaccinate raccoons, and help stop the further spread of rabies. ORV baits are a teal green blister pack approximately 1 in. x 2 in., embedded in a bait material consisting of vegetable fat, sugar artificial flavors and a dark green dye. ORV baits may be distributed by airplane, helicopter, or car. This is expected to begin in Essex County on August 15th . The specific areas where the bait will be spread will be identified soon and will be posted on the Essex County Public Health website: www.co.essex.ny.us/PublicHealth.

If you find ORV baits, leave them alone, unless they are where children or pets play.

To move ORV baits safely, you should: • Wear gloves or use a paper towel or plastic bag when picking up the baits.

• Toss intact baits into a wooded area or other raccoon habitat.

• Bag and dispose of any damaged baits in the trash.

• Take precautions by practicing proper hygiene—wash with soap and water any skin or wounds that may have come into contact with ORV baits, especially if the bait was damaged.

If your pet eats an ORV bait, don’t panic. It is not harmful for pets to consume ORV bait, though eating a large number of ORV baits may cause an upset stomach. Do not risk being bitten or being exposed to the vaccine by taking bait away from your pet. Check the area where the ORV bait was found and relocate any remaining baits to a wooded area.

Essex County Public Health Department reminds all residents to avoid contact with stray or wild animals and unknown cats and dogs. Always notify your doctor or Essex County Public Health Department at 873-3500 if you are bitten by a pet or wild animal. Call the Essex County Public Health Department at 873-3500 to report a contact or if you have any questions.

It is essential for pet owners to make sure their pets are up to date with their rabies vaccinations.

Visit www.co.essex.ny/PublicHealth for more information on rabies and a rabies clinic schedule.

If you have questions about ORV baits or the National Rabies Management Program, please call Wildlife Services at 1-866-4USDA-WS (1-866-487-3297). You can find more information about this program by visiting www.aphis.usda.gov/ws/rabies.

The angling doldrums of August

T

he fishing season has swiftly drifted into the doldrums of August, as hot, muggy weather and passing low pressure systems have combined with soaring water temperatures, low water conditions and diminished oxygen levels to put fish down.

Surface temperatures on most area lakes now hover in the mid to high 70 degree range, and while some of the local rivers and streams are considerably cooler, the diminished dissolved oxygen content has combined with extremely low water levels to make fish slow to take, and weak on the fight.

The bright sun puts fish down, and it also provides a huge advantage to winged predators such as heron, osprey and eagles.

While fish may still be on the prowl for food, it is up to the angler to present offerings at the proper feeding level during the appropriate time of day. Successful anglers have been presenting offerings at depths of 20-30 feet and greater to take advantage of the cooler, oxygenated conditions.

For flyfishermen, terrestrials remain the fly of choice as trout are keying in on ‘hoppers and other patterns such as flying ants, beetles and foam spiders.

On the lakes and ponds, both bass and trout have only been responsive for limited time frames, with small windows of opportunity available during the early morning hours and again from dusk and into the evening’s darkness.

Popping for bass along the shoreline of an Adirondack lake in the pitch-black darkness is an exciting endeavor. I prefer to troll a popper about 25-30 feet behind the boat. After popping or chugging such offerings as a hula popper or a floating mouse, I listen for the splash of a strike. More often than not, the fish are hooked as they strike on a slowly trolled line.

On recent trips along the Raquette River and the Saranac, we took smallmouth bass quite regularly at the base of falls and rapids. We also took bluegills, river shad and an occasional pike.

I’ve given up on most of the trout streams due to the low water and warm temperatures. Fishing for trout in the rivers at this time of year puts too much stress on their systems, which makes it difficult to safely release them.

Mirror Lake, Lake Placid and Lake Colby are again featuring

the lake lanterns of August, with anglers still-fishing for browns and rainbow trout during the late evening hours. I’ve also received reports that Lake Colby has been giving up some decent browns during the late afternoon and early evening hours. There have been a few flyrodders that are stubborn enough to fight off the ravenous smallmouth bass in order to find the trout.

Where there’s thunder, lightning’s not far behind The recent spell of foul weather has increased the danger of lightning strikes which kill more people annually than hurricanes and tornadoes combined.

Thunderstorms produce lightning in varying degrees. Sometimes there's just an odd flash or two evident, while at other times, storms can produce lightning nearly continuously, with lots of flashes to the ground.

It's the flashes from the cloud to the ground (CG flashes, for short) that create problems. Typically only a small percentage of the total flashes produced by a thunderstorm are visible, since most lightning stays within the clouds. However, it only takes one CG flash to get you!

The human body is essentially a bag of salty water, and it conducts electricity much better than air. As a result, lightning will often try to travel through a person to reach the ground. Any thunderstorm, despite size, should be a matter of concern for campers, hikers, paddlers, anglers and other outdoor travelers.

Travelers should be aware of what to do if the situation becomes hazardous.

On average, there are nearly 100 people fatally stuck by lightning annually in the United States. But it doesn’t always kill you to create major problems in your life. Hundreds of people are affected by lightning in the U.S. every year, short of being killed.

Such strikes can adversely affect a person’s central nervous system for the remainder of their life.

If you are outdoors, you've already increased the risk of being struck by lightning. Highest risk categories include golfers, mountain climbers, boaters and increasingly, flyfishermen. There is only one word for a person who continues to stand in a stream or on an open fairway waving a highly conductive shaft while the sky is dark and thundering. The word is dumb!

What should you do if the weather turns to thunder and rain?

At the first hint of thunder travelers should get off the water, out of the stream or leave the golf course.

Hikers should avoid the mountain summits, the crests of ridges, of slopes above timberline and large clearings. These are extremely dangerous places to be during lightning storms.

If you are caught in such an exposed place, quickly descend to a lower elevation, away from the direction of the approaching storm. Whenever lightning is near, take off backpacks with either external or internal metal frames, toss the golf bag and drop the graphite rods.

In all cases, squat down or kneel down on a pad, life jacket or waders keeping your head low and body out of contact with the ground. A dense forest located in a depression provides the best protection.

Avoid taking shelter under isolated trees or a tree that is much taller than the adjacent forest. Seek out hardwood trees if possible, since softwoods are more prone to strikes due to the high moisture content.

Remember, lightning strikes the tallest object. Stay as low as possible. If caught in the open, seek a depression in the earth, a ditch or hole.

Be proactive in your travels and learn to recognize approaching thunderstorms and adjust your activities accordingly. Since most mountain thunderstorms tend to form in the early to midafternoon, it's generally advised that you begin hiking the higher peaks in the early morning. This will allow you to be on the way down from the summits when the threat from thunderstorms is at its highest.

Keep your eyes on the sky and be prepared to abandon your hiking, paddling or angling plans if a thunderstorm develops unexpectedly. You should be able to recognize developing thunderstorms before they begin to produce lightning.

Fair weather clouds on a mountain may be puffy, but they are short and show little or no vertical development. If they begin to tower up and build into deep clouds with dark bases and a flat top, they are likely in the process of becoming thunderstorms.

A cloud that is tall and beginning to flatten out at the top is usually a thunderstorm. If you see clouds like this around, and there are dark cloud bases overhead, then you are in a potentially dangerous place! And you had better get moving!

Land deal Continued from page 1 park even better if that is possible.”

Cuomo and others touted the deal as a win from both an environmental and economic standpoint.

“This is a place of preservation and of conservation and this acquisition highlights that again,” Cuomo said. “We also need to have an infrastructure that is functional, where there are going to be economic and commercial experiences that were not available before. There are now more ways to enjoy the park while conserving it, but also generating revenue for the area.”

“This deal will permanently protect the outstanding natural resources of the park while enhancing and expanding economic opportunities,” Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens said.

“This is a record commitment to a grand conservation project,” Bill Ulfelder, Executive Director of the Nature Conservancy, said. “This is a project that benefits all New Yorkers and is the most ambitious undertaking that we have ever performed at the Nature Conservancy.”

“I have been a part of groups that have been trying to get this deal done since Tim Barnett started this movement,” conservationalist John Ernst said. “This deal puts together the protection of a world-class caliber place with the possibilities of economic development.”

Cuomo said that he was aware that there have been many disputes and disagreements that have gone along with the acquisition.

“This has been large, complicated and not

without controversy,” Cuomo said. “But big things that are worth doing in the long run take dialogue and time and have differing opinions.”

One of those topic is the future of numerous hunting camps that were leased out through the Finch Pruyn company and will now have to shut down.

“There are several leases for hunting clubs that were made over 10 years in length as this has been worked out,” Martens said.

“As these leases come up and expire, they will be phased out over time.”

The full land acquisition will take place over the next five years, but Martens said that they hope to create accessibility to a majority of the lands involved in the deal “within the next few months.”

The purchase includes numerous tracts inside and outside the Adirondack Park’s “Blue Line,” including the McIntyre Tracts in the town of Newcomb, the Boreas Ponds Tract in the towns of North Hudson and Newcomb, the Essex Chain Tract in the towns of Minerva and Newcomb, the OK Slip Pond Tract in the town of Indian Lake, the Ice Meadows Tract in the town of Chester, and the Benson Road Tract west of Northville.

Right, The Nature Conservancy’s Bill Ulfelder and Gov. Andrew Cuomo sign off on the land deal to transfer 63,000 of former Finch Pruyn land to the state.

Film Society makes their stand on need for digital transition funding for theaters

Weddings Pulowski, Beaton wed

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — For the Adirondack Film Society, it’s not just about staving off the extinction of local theaters.

The goal of generating grant monies and donations to help several local theaters convert to digital projectors and screens is not just about survival, but about the chance to allow these small, independent theater owners to remain just that — independent.

“This is a bold project to tackle an issue that is facing small, rural theaters in the North Country,” Film Society Chairman John Huttlinger said. “Our goal is to help people experience film and to make all forms more accessible to the greatest amount of people possible, but that cannot happen if these theaters cannot make the transition to digital technology.”

The Film Society, along with the help of consultant Naj Wikoff, has applied for a consolidated grant through the state to help local theaters, including the Hollywood in Au Sable Forks, the Palace in Lake Placid and the State Theater in Tupper Lake along with 10 others secure funding to make the transition from film projection to digital. Movie production companies have given theaters until the end of next year to make the change, when they will no longer send out movies on film.

“This is a forced conversion where film will no longer be the medium for film,” Nelson Page, Vice Chairman of the society, said.

“You have to replace all of the existing equipment — electric, speakers, amplifiers, screens and projectors.

Reg Clark stands next to the current projector for one of the screens at the Palace Theater in Lake Placid.

Photo by Keith Lobdell This is a price that is prohibitive for any local business and will force many theaters to go out of business.”

“Many of these theaters are the anchors of the downtown and part of the social fabric of the community,” Huttlinger said. “A lot of them are also part of the history of the community, as they are housed in historic buildings. We need a lot of help from the public to help influence the decision for this grant and make sure that we receive funding.”

“We are at the center of a community and we do this because we love it,” Hollywood owner Corey Hanff, whose first job was at the Palace Theater, said. “I can’t understand why we are being asked to spend extra money when the end goal will be to make the same amount that we are now.”

The grant application seeks $2,180,929 in funding from the state, leaving local theaters with a share of $726,976 to generate on their own.

Wikoff said that without the grant, the movie business could fade to black in the Adirondacks.

“Just imagine that there is not a single movie screen in the Adirondack Park being open within one year from now,” Wikoff said. “We are looking at a total of 37 screens that include two drive-ins. The ramifications are profound.”

Huttlinger said that the society has conducted a study of those who attend movies in the park that finds a generation of $11 million in revenue for local businesses in total.

That is why they believe that the best solution to the problem is for the local businesses to own their screens.

“They can put on their own shows rather than just being able to have first-run movies,” Wikoff said. “We want to do more than just help them stay in business and keep the doors open. We want to help create a whole new business model for the small theater.”
