This Week WILLSBORO

Essex Co. busts on casino

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County has left the table.

Under an agreement reached May 21 between the State of New York and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, the county, along with seven others, will not be eligible to house one of three new gaming casinos proposed earlier this year by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

With the agreement, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe will pay $30 million in payments owed to the state along with 25 percent of future gaming revenues.

In return, the tribe will continue to have exclusive gaming rights in an eight county zone that includes Essex, Clinton, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence and Warren.

The agreement also initiates discussions between the State, the Tribe, and local governments to resolve unrelated land claim disputes.

Egglefield Ford set to host fundraiser for hospital For the fifth year, the Elizabethtown-Lewis Chamber of Commerce members decorated the bridges in Elizabethtown with flower baskets, despite the pouring rain. The 38 hanging baskets were originally purchased with money from a 2009 Quadracentennial Grant. The flowers, potting soil and labor to hang the baskets is done by the Chamber of Commerce volunteers, just in time for the Memorial Day Parade. Watering and caring for the baskets all summer long is done by residents of Mountain Lakes Services.

Dr. Eugene Cassone brings his expertise to ECH each week. High-tech equipment, professional staff and new procedure area support a variety of specialty services.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Egglefield Bros. Ford in Elizabethtown is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR Community program to the local community again this year, in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the hospital for every person who test-drives a new Ford vehicle on Wednesday, June 5 from 10 am to 6 pm. The event will take place in the parking lot across from the hospital on Park Street in Elizabethtown.

The test drive fundraiser will feature many different vehicles including the newly designed Escape and Fusion, along with the Focus and F-150 truck. Also available for a test drive will be the C-MAX hybrid vehicle and a Mustang.

Egglefield Bros staff members will be onsite to assist with test drives and provide additional information about each vehicle.

“We know that funding for many not-forprofit organizations comes with challenges; hospitals seem particularly vulnerable, even though healthcare is incredibly important,” said Dennis Egglefield. “Like ECH, Egglefield Bros. Ford has been a part of this community for generations – and like all community members, we believe that it’s important to help contrib-

ute to the hospital’s important programs – it is a necessary part of our community. We’re really excited to help raise money for the hospital.”

The more people who take a test drive, the more money that Ford Motor Company donates to the hospital.

Jane Hooper, community relations director at ECH commented about Egglefield Bros. generosity.

“I’m thrilled that Egglefield’s chose to organize a fundraising event for the hospital,” she said. “It’s so easy for people to contribute – simply test drive a car and the hospital benefits by $20. It certainly doesn’t get much easier than that.”

To participate in the fundraiser, please visit the test drive location across from the hospital’s main facility anytime between 10 am and 6 pm on June 5.

Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s license and email address. There is a limit of one test-drive per household. All test drives will last approximately 7-10 minutes.

Please contact Peter Allen at Egglefield Bros.

‘12 Angry Men’ to take Willsboro CS stage

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com WILLSBORO „ Willsboro Central School students will give an intimate performance with the audience taking to the stage for their portrayal of modern-day Reginald Rose’s Emmy AwardWinning Classic Drama “12 Angry Jurors.”

The 12 student actors from grades four through 11 act out the explosive drama of jurors trying to figure out if a young man accused of murdering his father is guilty. The audience will be right there with the jurors as their debates move from logical to explosive and back to logical throughout the performance ending with a conclusion that will determine if the defendant lives or dies.

“The school auditorium is vast and I wanted the students feel the intimacy of the audience plus, I wanted them to think differently,” said play director Derrick A. Hopkins. “The mind set of this play versus presenting a musical is very different. I put (the play) into consideration because I love the intensity of the drama and how the issues it addresses still is relevant in today’s society.”

Connor Sheehan, a ninth grade student actor who plays Juror Number 3, said to prepare for the part he and other student actors must contain themselves to not overwhelm the audience.

“We get really into the scenes and sometimes I’ve gotten up quick and spilled something where the audience is going to be,” said Sheehan. “Some of the fights we need to control ourselves.”

Taressa Lacey, a ninth grade student actor who plays Juror number 4 said getting into character was a great experience.

“My character can really relate to the case because she came from a slum and hasn’t seen her child for three years,” said Lacey. “My character says at one point he could feel the knife in his chest like the father of the boy in trial.”

“People are going to see a lot of conflict between all of the jurors,” said Laura Klein, who plays Juror Number 8. “There is all kinds of anger, logic and emotions in this play.”

The jurors’ final verdict and how they reach it—in tense scenes that will electrify those in attendance and keep them on the edge of their seats!

Performances will be performed on May 30 and 31 at 7 p.m. and June 1 at 2 p.m. The production will be held on the Willsboro stage in the round. Admission is $5 and seating is limited to 90.

North Country SPCA

Kathy L. Wilcox • 873-5000

T

his week, the NCSPCA would like to remind you of some of the benefits of adopting a senior animal. So often visitors to the shelter are enthralled with the antics of adorable kittens and puppies; our older residents are often overlooked.

However, an older pet is sometimes an ideal choice depending on your home environment, and the rewards to both you and your new furry friend can be significant.

The ASPCA lists several benefits of older dogs in particular. Here are a few that are worth considering: 1) A puppy can mean a commitment of anywhere from 8-20 years, which may not be appropriate for elder owners or people with uncertain future plans.

Providing a home for an older job is still a serious commitment, but a shorter one. 2) Older dogs can be easier to train because they have better focus and attention than puppies. 3) They don’t require the constant monitoring or attention of a puppy. 4) They are through the teething stage and often already house trained. With all these benefits to an older pet, you might find an older dog is exactly the right fit for your family!

Our featured pet this week is Mazy, a

ongratulations to Jim Westover, Jr. and Bruce Hoskins on their recognition recently for 50 years of service as volunteer firefighters for Westport Hose Company Number One. Both were named to the department on the same day, May 1, 1963, and both have also served the ambulance squad over the years as well.

Also honored at the Firemen’s Banquet on May 18 were Adam Cross for 10 years of service, Irwin Borden and David Golembeck for 15 years each, and Judy Napper (our first woman firefighter) and Phil Kneller for 20 years each. Irwin, Judy, and Phil also serve on the squad.

The celebration took place at the Westport Hotel, and the fire department would like to thank the owners and staff of that fine institution for their outstanding hospitality and support.

It’s hard to imagine how different things were back in the day, when these two gentlemen were named to the fire department.

For one thing, there were a lot more members, and the department generally had a long waiting list of young go-getters eager to serve. Now our towns are shrinking as

Please stop by and meet this lovely lady.

young people follow the jobs to the cities and small volunteer departments like ours are struggling to survive. The certification process is longer and more intensive as well, which discourages new membership. All that goes double for the ambulance squad.

Many people are not even aware that if they call 911 for a fire or a medical emergency in Westport, as in many small towns in the region, they will get a 100 percent volunteer response. These are your friends and neighbors, people just like you who are ready to drop everything when the pager goes off and scoot off to the firehouse. People like Jim Westover, Sr. and Bruce Hoskins, who have lived here most all their lives and have answered that call more times than they can remember.

If you think that you might be interested in volunteering, drop me an email and I’ll be happy to let you know what’s involved.

Whether you’re young and eager or older and retired, there’s much valuable service that you will be able to offer. And there’s much that you’ll get out of it, too. For one thing, you get to meet people like Jim and Bruce. And that counts for more than you could possibly know.

Cornell’s nearby Willsboro research farm brings lots of professors and experts here, and local farmers can easily tap into their knowledge and generosity with equipment if they’re interested. Cornell owns a small, Spartan and musty camp on the lake where visiting academics can unroll sleeping bags and spend the night. It’s down a long dirt drive, and hard to find in the dark. Some years ago, a professor arrived late and stayed in the cabin, and the next morning described how pleasant it was, with a fully stocked refrigerator, big TV and comfortable beds with fresh sheets on them. There was much consternation when they realized he’d innocently crashed at a neighbor’s cottage, not Cornell’s.

He couldn’t remember all the twists and turns he’d taken to get there, but he had made his bed and washed his breakfast dishes before leaving. I don’t think the owner ever noticed.

Law Enforcement officials learn to spot and fight animal abuse

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com LEWIS „ Members of the New York State Humane Association joined with local law enforcement to learn about how to stop animal abuse.

The workshop, titled “Investigating Animal Cruelty,” brought in experts to teach law enforcement how to best address the legal and emotional consequences of animal abuse May 11 at the Sheriff’s Department in Lewis.

The workshop was aimed to address challenges in the legal arena of fighting animal cruelty in accordance with state laws that provide penalties for animal cruelty/abandonment/neglect.

As a police officer, Sue McDDonough said when she entered the police force she had to learn about animal cruelty laws on her own.

“Animal cruelty laws are found in the agriculture and markets law and not the penal code and most police officers receive little to no training before entering the police force on how to approach an animal cruelty case,” said McDonough. “I became an expert because I went out and learned as much as I could. I always loved animals and had horses so it was very important to me.”

The workshop was held by the NYSHA, based in Kingston, and was co-sponsored by the Essex County Sheriff’s Office and the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services. All members of the NYSHA volunteer their time to hold these educational forums. About 40 people, including area

Casino

Continued from page 1 The two sides have been in disputes over gaming issues for the past three years.

“It’s not a huge disappointment here,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, who pushed the discussion about gaming in Essex County, said.

“We knew that this was going to be a long shot but hey, you had to try it.”

Scozzafava said that while the deal ends the hopes of a county gaming facility, it is good news for the state as a whole.

“I’m glad that the Governor reached an accord with the St. Regis Tribe to get revenue that the state can use, which in the end could help everyone,”

Scozzafava said. “He has done something that has not been done in a while by going in and bringing closure to this situation.”

Still, Scozzafava said that there are other options that could present themselves.

“I still want to pursue a Riverboat-type operation on Lake Champlain,” he said. “It would be a huge draw for both New York and Vermont and any town that has a lake shore port area. I know that there are still going to be a lot of hurdles with that as well, since you are dealing with federal waters and two states.”

For now, the closest possibility for a gaming facility in the region could be in the town of Putnam, a Washington County town not under the

law enforcement and local animal rescuers, attended the session.

The informational session included presentations by Dr. Harry Hovel, a scientist who specializes in semiconductor physics that has taken on researching links between animal abuse and human aggression; McDonough, who talked about the process of investigating animal cruelty from the point of view of a police officer; veterinarian Dr. Holly Cheever spoke about how she examines animals and how the police can help her to determine if an animal has been abused; and Assistant District Attorney Brian Felton about the evidence needed from police to take an alleged animal abuser to trial.

“Police haven’t been trained, the laws around animal cruelty, A 7775A are in the Agriculture and Market Laws, right now there is a bill that would place the laws back into the penal codes where police will enter the force trained to handle these cases,” said NYSHA Chairperson Patricia Valusek.

Relative Aggression Hovel said he became involved with research into the link between animal cruelty and human aggression about 15 years ago. Hovel has worked with the National Link Coalition, a group that includes researchers and professionals in a variety of human services and animal welfare advocates that believe there are significant correlations between animal abuse, child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, elder abuse and other forms of violence.

Some people can ask animal activists why they give so much attention to animals when humans are in greater need. Hovel said people agreement that was reached.

Saratoga County, which currently is home to the Racino in Saratoga, would be the next regional site.

“That would be the most logical place because I do not think they can live on just slot games alone,” Scozzafava said. “This would allow them the chance to expand what they offer.”

Officials who brokered the deal spoke about it after the signing.

“By working together and finding common ground, the State and Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe have reached a fair and reasonable agreement that will grant the Tribe exclusive gaming rights in the North Country, and provide the state and local governments with their

share of revenues from the casino,” Cuomo said in a statement. “I commend the collaborative spirit in which all parties came together to forge this agreement.”

“We’ve waited many years for a Governor who was willing to sit down with all the parties to the land claim to come to a negotiated settlement,” Chief Ron LaFrance, Jr. of Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, added. “Gov. Cuomo has accomplished much in the short time we’ve been meeting directly with him. He has given us assurances that our outstanding issues will be dealt with fairly.”

Franklin and St. Lawrence counties would continue to receive revenue sharing from the deal, receiving $3.75 mil-

should see the mistreatment of animals not as an isolated incident but an indicator or warning sign that other family members in the household may not be safe.

“If the legal system took animal cruelty more seriously, it could alleviate the system from processing criminals for crimes against spouses and other people,” said Hovel. “If we reach these people early enough then the system can get them help before it’s too late and stop the cycle of abuse.”

Hovel pointed out that famous serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and Charles Manson have a history of childhood abuse or neglect and started their violent streak with animal abuse.

“No child is born saying I want to kill someone, there are predictors, and we need to intervene before their violence escalates,” said Hovel.

Hovel said fighting animal cruelty would save human lives, prevent much animal and human suffering, protect women and children, elders and lead to far less human violence.

The New York State Humane Association has conducted animal cruelty investigation workshops for police and humane investigators across the state for the past fourteen years, and previously has offered rewards to bring forth information from the public to assist police investigations.

In addition, the organization actively lobbies to improve the animal protection laws of New York State.

Community service helps build character P L

ocal students have been learning a lot in the classroom during the 2012-13 school year and are preparing for their finals and Regent’s examinations as we speak.

What we would like to draw attention to, though, is the learning that has been done at several schools this year that has had nothing to do with core curriculum or state testing. We’d like to recognize those schools that have place a value on not only the education that takes place inside school walls but also outside of those walls.

Last week, Westport Central School students, under the direction of the student council, teachers Westport 8th graders Noah Hart and Ronald Adam Facteau and Cheryl Phillips, and support “Hoss” Logan help spruce up outside the Depot from the administration, held an ‘Adopt-Your- Theatre last week.

Town Day’ event throughout the community.

Photo by Keith Lobdell Students went to several locations in Westport, cleaning up streets, parks, trails, and buildings in a morning of service to the community that supports them. Each class was given an assignment at locations throughout the town and worked throughout the morning to help clean up their community.

While not traditional classroom learning, students did get a lesson from their day in the community. Most of the kids were smiling as they served, with one saying that they had more fun working than they did during the field day events held afterward.

The lesson is that serving the community you live in is always rewarding, something that you can take pride in not only as an individual but as a collective.

Phillips and Facteau said that the day was created as part of the school’s focus on character education, especially when it comes to community service. More and more, schools are implementing a community service aspect to the curriculum of the district, asking students to give a certain number of hours working in the community and giving their time to others.

The students at Westport Central School worked together to make their town a better place, and they should be commended as a group for what they did.

Earlier this year, students at Willsboro Central School held a school-wide food drive for the local pantry. Once all the food was collected, the entire school formed a human chain from the entrance of the school to the entrance of the food pantry, handing donations one at a time between each other and working as one to show their support for the community.

While these are two examples of school-wide service projects, there are many others that take place throughout the school year. Students in the Elizabethtown-Lewis Art Club painted murals at the Horace Nye Nursing Home and the Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad. The Schroon Lake National Honor Society hosts community blood drives and Ticonderoga students shop to support the local food pantry.

All of these examples take learning outside of the classroom and into the real world, where perhaps the biggest lessons that young adults will need as they progress toward community citizens can take place.

In order for a community to function, everyone should play a part. What schools are now doing is providing students not only with the tools to be a productive member of society when it comes to book learning, but also when it comes to character development. Giving students the building blocks of being strong citizens is vital in a world where reliance on each other is needed. We have seen how communities locally and nationally have rallied around each other in times of crisis or need, and giving students the chance to learn and grow through service to one other and the community ensures that the tradition of being there for others will continue well into the future. „

Keep the Ash Borer out To the Valley News: Dear Potential Vermont Campers, The Emerald Ash Borer is spreading vigorously and it is getting closer to Vermont. We want to save the ash trees because they are useful in many ways. First of all, the ash tree was one of the first trees in Vermont. As a matter of fact, the Abenaki Indian tribe believed they were created from the ash tree and people continue to make ash baskets today. Next ash trees are a good source of lumber, provide food and habitat for animals, make forests diverse, and they will live long, even through floods.

The Emerald Ash Borer usually travels by firewood. This insect, which is small and emerald green makes a D-shaped hole in ash trees. Please keep your eye out for a D-shaped hole in ash trees. If you suspect an Emerald Ash Borer, please contact: 1-866322-4512 or for more information check: www.emeraldashborer. info It only takes one person to bring the Emerald Ash Borer to Vermont so please do not bring firewood to our state!

Real issue taxes, not statements To the Valley News: Much has been written about the infamous “ breach of financial security “ with regard to the release of Town of Elizabethtown bank statements, which reflect nearly a million in cash as of 12/31/2012.

It’s true the Town Hall failed to honor my specific request to black out the account numbers, but I don’t believe their error rises to the level of a “critical mistake,“ as characterized by

We remember the ones we grew up with, those who left home to serve their country and protect our nation. We remember the men who returned and the ones who did not. Some came back whole, and some came back scarred.

the editors of the Valley News. Nor do I think it was necessary to cancel all the accounts in an emergency meeting, which, yet again, violated Open Meetings Law. The taxpayers money was never at risk, yet Supervisor Bartley said “someone with the town’s bank-account numbers could empty the accounts with electronic transfers,” but this ignores the fact that two town officials must sign off on all wire transfers.

It also ignores that for decades the town has sent out checks with the account numbers on them.

Tellingly, no authority, other than the newspapers, has contacted me about this non-issue. I believe the real issue should be why taxes were increased when the town ended the year with a million in cash, not a politically contrived “ security crisis.”

It’s the time of year for persons interested in running for public office to pick up petitions to get on the Nov. ballot. Two town council seats and the Supervisor position are available and it‘s this majority, this quorum, that you need to be concerned about.

The councilperson job is not as difficult as you might think and it pays about $3,800 a year. The Supervisor job is more difficult and essentially full time. The pay has varied with experience, but ranges from $ 38,000-$45,000 including the County stipend.

I shall not be running for office. I must step aside, not be a distraction, and let the election process play out, but it should be obvious that the town needs people to step up. Honesty and competence must prevail. The Valley News describes a “ clash for power “ for the last year-and-a-half, but it actually started over five years ago and there‘s more to it than you know. E’town really needs to normalize and the status quo is not going to get us there.

Ken Fenimore, Elizabethtown

Thanks to students To the Valley News: The students, faculty, and staff of Westport Central School deserve a big thank you and round of applause for their dedication and hard work on Thursday morning, May 23, for their “Adopt Our Town” spring clean-up project. Seeing everyone in colorful shirts, sweeping, raking, and carrying branches and twigs, was heart-warming. Our community looks much nicer as we get ready to welcome back summer residents and guests.

An extra thank you goes to the planners and organizers of the event, both at school and in the Town. Denny Westover and his men were extremely helpful in planning, supplying tools, then picking up bags and branches after the event. Thank you too to Supervisor Dan Connell and the members of the Town Board for their support.

In addition to improving the Town’s appearance, the school is teaching young people the value of contributing to the wellbeing of their community at an early age.

During the past few months, teamwork and cooperation between Westport Central School, the Town, and the Chamber of Commerce have never been better. Chamber members have been and are bringing real-world knowledge and experience into Mr. Adam Facteau’s business classes and members recently participated in the school’s Community Involvement Night.

We hope to continue our community spirit and partnership.

We invite students, parents, and all other residents to become involved as the Chamber and Town work to develop a sense of community pride in a more long-term Town-wide beautification effort in preparation for Westport’s Bicentennial in 2015.

Again, thank you to everyone! Happy Summer!

Dee Carroll, President Westport Chamber of Commerce

their lives in the Boquet Valley.

It’s often easier to remember and honor those soldiers we knew personally. Each year we mark their graves with flags, hold a parade and give speeches. I am reminded of one of them, Sgt. Justin Wrisley Garvy of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army, who died 10 years ago in Iraq. Every time I drive down the Stowersville Road in Lewis, and cross the Garvey Bridge over the Adirondack Northway, I see his name on the plaque and I am reminded of him.

Other men and women, who served their country, are laid to rest in our new Veteran’s Cemetery on the Wadhams road. The

Guest viewpoint

members of the American Legion Boquet Valley Post No. 551 honor all veterans in Elizabethtown each year and mark each veteran’s grave with an American Flag.

But older soldiers are harder to remember. They fought in the Civil War, the Mexican War, the War of 1812 and the American Revolution. Some returned to their homes in Elizabethtown, while others moved west and built a home in the new states. I recently had the good fortune to get to know one of those old soldiers.

For over a century his whereabouts were unknown here in his hometown.

Basil Bishop was one of the nine children who grew up in the hamlet

of New Russia. He went to war in 1812 at the age of 23 when he was a private in the 37th NY Militia, part of the forces that fought the British in Plattsburgh. He returned to Elizabethtown, married and built the first Iron forge at Split Rock Falls. He raised his family in New Russia and served in the Elizabethtown government. His children attended local schools and he was a member of the Baptist Church.

At the age of 56 he moved his family west to Michigan and disappeared from the memory of those he left behind. 150 years later, with the magic of the Internet, I found him in Marquette, Michigan. His greatgrand daughter recently persuaded

the Veteran’s Administration to mark Private Basil Bishop’s grave with a Bronze Military plaque. On May 1 of this year one of his great grandsons made the trip from Chicago to New Russia to visit the home of his ancestor, and the grave of Basil Bishop’s father, Major Elijah Bishop, a Veteran of the American Revolution.

Two centuries have passed since Pvt. Basil Bishop marched with the 37th NY Militia, north on Route 9, down Court Street, past where we now stand, and into history. Two hundred years have passed, but Private Basil Bishop is not forgotten.

Addison Mehr brings his ‘Fort Apache’ home for showing

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WHALLONSBURG — Scenes from Westport, Port Henry and Lake Placid came across the screen during the final night of the Champlain Valley Film Society’s winter season.

The scenes were part of the movie, “Fort Apache,” which was directed by Westport native Addison Mehr as part of his senior project at NYU. “It was great to be able to shoot the film here where I grew up,” Mehr said to a packed house at the Whallonsburg Grange May 25. “Thank you all for coming out to see this.”

“It is definitely a local boy made good story,” David Reuther said. “This is a great turnout for this movie.”

Mehr introduced the movie and held a question and answer session following the 15-plus minute film.

“It started out to be a short film that we wanted to be around 15 minutes. It was never sup-

posed to be a feature,” he said.

During the film, people in the audience would whisper to each other as they saw familiar site like the Stevenson Road Railroad crossing, Camp Dudley Road, Main Street and the Horse racing announcers stand in Westport; storefronts in Port Henry and the Palace Theatre in Lake Placid. Many local names were also listed in the credits to the movie, including a number of people who were in attendance for what Mehr called, “the Adirondack premiere.”

“Well, that was a weird experience, wasn’t it?” Mehr said after the credits ended. “This is such a unique story and something that I could relate to, you know, the small town boy troubles.”

Mehr said that the movie took seven days of shooting, followed by editing and putting together the final cut.

“I wouldn’t want to change anything about this because there is something very magical about it,” Mehr said. “A bunch of people came together to put something like this together in a short amount of time.”

Addison Mehr, left, and brother Spencer talk about “Fort Apache” at the Whallonsburg Grange May 24.

Continued from page 1 classes. During the school year we started to think of a way to make this an event for the entire school,” third grade teacher Michelle Rawson said. “I pitched it to Adam Facteau and Cheryl Phillips and they took it to the student council and it took on a whole new life when they got involved.”

We received a lot of help from the administration and the board and the Chamber of Commerce and town were very helpful,” Facteau said.

“It is an extension of the classroom and a compliment to the community service aspect of the character education.”

“This is really a community service learning project,” Phillips said.

“Every student has been very involved and most everyone has a smile on their face.”

“I am incredibly proud of our school community reaching out to the Westport community,” Principal Michele Friedman said.

“They are so supportive of the school and this is a great way for us to show, en masse, our appreciation.”

Students helped clean several locations throughout the town, including the fire department, the Depot Theatre, Lee Park, the town recreation trail, Ballard Park, the town beach, Camp Dudley, Main Street sidewalks, the island at the intersection of Main Street and Champlain Avenue, The Westport Library and the cemetery on Main Street.

“The work that was done there was just amazing,” Facteau said. “You would not recognize it.”

Those receiving service were pleased with the work the students did.

“This is a wonderful thing to see these students participate in such a great community project,” Shami McCormick at the Depot Theatre said. “Them helping us make this place, which is such a visual focal point in the community, look good is a blessing.”

“This is a fortunate venture between the town and the school, and they need to be commended for it,” town councilman Michael “Ike” Tyler said. “There are ways that the students can get a great education outside of the classroom walls, and this is one of them.”

“This is fantastic to have the school participate in a cleanup day like this,” Supervisor Dan Connell said, who added the town would be passing a resolution honoring the school for its service to the community.

Cow pie, cut me a slice

I

meled the participants with a driving rain. Many in the crowd joked about awarding winter Saranac 6’er status to all fi nishers.

I listened as George Grzyb, an ultra hiker from downstate, complained the event was not going to begin until 8 a.m.

“I drove up late last night and slept in my car,” he explained. “I thought it would start at daybreak! I just want to get it over with before last call at the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery, so I can enjoy a few pints of Ubu Ale!” Grzyb fi nished in 12th place.

Another hiker, Matt Hicks was huddled inside to avoid the rain, but he was ready to hit the trail. Hicks hails from Poughkeepsie and is a NYS licensed guide, as well as an accomplished trail runner. He had recently completed a 50 Mile trail run in the Catskills. When asked to predict a time frame for the fi rst event fi nishers, Hicks estimated it would take about 14.5 hours, due to the rain. He eventually completed the event in eighth place.

The inaugural Ultra Saranac Sixer was Lake Placid resident Loring Porter, who rang the bell after tackling the required six local peaks in a time of just 10 hours, 22 minutes.

Porter is an accomplished trail athlete who has tackled the Adirondack 46, the 111 Peaks (tallest mountains in the NorthEast), as well as Appalachian Trail, the Continental Divide and the Pacifi c Crest Trail.

He explained: “When I fi rst heard about the Saranac Sixer, I thought it was just silly, those little peaks! Then I thought about it and realized it was going to be hard to do 31 miles all in one go. The water and the rain really made it much tougher. I was the fi rst one on McKenzie and there was a lot of snow up there.”

It was nearly 40 minutes later before the next ultra fi nishers returned, and they were a pair of sisters, Bethany and Mallory Garretson from Cherry Valley near the Catskills. Bethany, who works in Saranac Lake, was joined by her sister for the event.

They fi nished in 11 hours and 10 minutes. Covered in mud and shivering against the cold wind, the two sisters celebrated their accomplishment with friends and family. “It was cold up there,” they explained, “And there was a lot of snow, and running water on the trails. We we forced to forde several streams. It was a lot tougher than we expected!”

I expect the Saranac Sixer program will continue to draw hikers to the smaller peaks, which will certainly benefi t the regional tourism based economy. However, I hope the effort will also provide an incentive for local residents to get out and enjoy their surroundings. It will be interesting to see if the accomplishment of becoming a Saranac Sixer is embraced by local youth. Whether it requires climbing a High Peak or tackling a few of the low peaks, paddling the big lake or just a small pond; any opportunity to get outside is worth the effort. If we don’t learn to appreciate and take advantage our natural surroundings, there really isn’t a lot of entertainment available in the Adirondacks, especially for our youth.

t wasn’t that long ago when manure was thought of as a waste product. Recommendations were to dump it over the bank and use commercial fertilizer for crops. Many loads of manure got dumped into streams, so it would wash away. Out of sight, out of mind!

Manure may be a biological waste from an animal, but it shouldn’t be discarded in a poop-like manner.

Cow manure will supply your soil with organic matter, phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. Manure conBy Rich Redman tains organic matter that is nutrient rich and readily decomposes to release those nutrients over time.

One cow averages about 20 tons of manure per year. An application rate of 20 tons of manure per acre is realistic and will provide your soils with many nutrients. Soil, manure or leaf tissue tests will confi rm what you need and how much to apply for the crops being grown.

The organic matter fraction will improve the cation exchange capacity and possibly the pH of the soil. It has been shown where soils that received manure actually had better tilth and increased pore space.

The type of barn and animal housing makes a difference in manure types. Solid manures come from bedded pack, tie stalls and stanchion barns, where chocolate milkshake consistency manure comes from free stall barns. Cattle on pasture use the direct deposit method. They give the cow pie back to the pasture where they just harvested some grass, a fair exchange I believe.

How the manure is stored will also make a difference in the amount of nutrients lost or saved.

If manure is stored in an earthen pit, concrete tank or large big blue steel tank, the manure is stored without oxygen and will go anaerobic.

A crust will form over the top of the manure and the nutrients such as nitrogen will be less likely to volatilize and go into the atmosphere.

Fresh liquid manure that is applied to fi elds should be plowed into the soil as soon as possible. This will help prevent nutrient loss to the atmosphere and from runoff if applied during a rain. The downfall of liquid manure is that along with the loss of nitrogen to the air when spread, there is manure like perfume that fi lls your senses. To some of us, it is the smell of farmers making a living. To others it is a vile smell and they say, ”farmers should not be farming here.” Those folks think their food just magically appears at the store all along thinking: who needs farmers anyway? Most of us know better.

Composting manure allows oxygen into the mixture. Aerobic microbe activity reduces the volume of manure due to the breakdown of the organic portion of the manure and the bedding. There is also the loss of moisture through evaporation or leaching during the compost process.

Composting manure concentrates the organics and nutrients. Compost should also be incorporated into the soil so you conserve nutrients.

Compost is stable, and when applied to the land releases nutrients over time. Composted manure is also food for earthworms and other soil critters.

Earthworms are a sign of a healthy soil that has the right amount of oxygen, organic matter, nutrients and moisture. Earthworms improve drainage and the oxygen levels in soil by their burrowing. An added benefi t is that the worm casts are rich in nutrients.

Did you know that at one time there were wildlife biologists stating that manure should be spread at the upper edges of wetlands on moist soil so it would promote earthworm habitat. Yes, along managed wetlands so there would be a large population of worms for woodcock to eat. Food for the woodcock! I think that is an idea worth pondering. Too many nutrients are a problem, but so is the lack of nutrients. Wildlife management is about habitat, and food is vital to habitat creation.

Plants, whether vegetables and fruits for human use, or food plots for wildlife all require nutrients to live. During a plant’s growth, the roots absorb nutrients and the plant grows. The growth requires lots of nutrients that come from the soil. When they are harvested, there is a loss of nutrients to the soil. You are depleting the bank account so to speak. You need to feed the soil once again to complete the cycle. The earth giveth and the earth taketh away!

This means manure is actually a food for your soil, not a waste product. Those cow pies are really culinary delights for earthworms and soil microbes that are a great benefi t to your soil structure, organic matter content and moisture holding capacity. With proper soil and manure management, your soil health will improve. Healthy soils, healthy food, healthy cows, healthy people and a healthy farm economy!

The next time you are walking your pasture kicking cow pies, remember it’s not just a biological waste product; it’s a three course meal along with a dessert for your soil, delivered fresh from the factory.

Those bovines are part of the recycling process. They get feed from the plants that get their food from the soil. So order a slice of that cow pie for your plants, worms and microbes to eat, and don’t let it wash away.

I read an old quote somewhere: “A wise man doesn’t kick a fresh cow pie.” I think that still holds true today!

It’s Memorial Day week, and I want to say “welcome home” to all the Nam vets that never got the welcome home they deserved.

During the Memorial Day weekend, there were more snowflakes than blackflies in the air, after a late spring snowstorm deposited nearly three feet of fresh snow on Whiteface Mountain and the surrounding High Peaks.

The Saranac 6’ers H

eavy rains, strong winds, fl oods and more than three feet of fresh snow combined to usher in a most memorial, Memorial Day weekend in the Adirondacks.

Although the long, holiday weekend has traditionally ushered in the beginning of the tourist season, the foul weather greatly diminished the crowds of hikers, bikers, paddlers and anglers that are typically found out and about.

However, there was one major exception to the foul weather rule and it occurred in the village of Saranac Lake where nearly 100 hiking enthusiasts gathered in anticipation of becoming the fi rst wave of Saranac Sixers.

The Saranac 6’ers campaign is a community-based effort that is intended to attract hikers to a few of the ‘lower peaks’ of the Adirondacks. The idea is the brainchild of Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau, who understands the importance of promoting the region’s natural attractions.

The campaign provides a climbing standard that is readily available and achievable by the average person. It is a ‘minor league’ version of the well established Adirondack 46’ers.

Rather than attempting to tackle all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks, the Saranac 6’ers campaign requires participants to climb just six local peaks, all of which are within easy striking distance of the community.

The six peaks include McKenzie Mountain at 3,861 feet, which requires the longest hike of more than a 10-mile round trip. Ampersand Mountain at 3,261 feet is the next tallest, followed by Scarface Mountain at 3,088 feet elevation, and Haystack at 2,874. St. Regis Mountain in Pauls Smiths stands at 2,865 feet and Mt. Baker, in the village of Saranac Lake is the smallest at 2,452 feet. It also features the shortest hike of only an 1.8 mile round trip.

In addition to the many hardcore hikers who took to the trails to set the standard, the Saranac 6’er Challenge has attracted a lot of local interest as well. I spoke with mother and daughter, Chrissie and Adrian Hayden of Saranac Lake on the morning of the campaign’s inaugural launch, who explained: “We plan on taking it at an easy pace, climbing just two peaks a day.” Her daughter was obviously excited at the prospect, and she offered: “We can see four of the mountains from our house.”

“That’s great,” I replied. “But the view is much better when you can see your house from the top of the mountains.”

While the Saranac 6’er Campaign will certainly serve to attract ‘ultra-hikers’ who are interested in speed and endurance, I expect the campaign will also prompt many local residents to get out and enjoy some of the surrounding summits that they have long enjoyed from a distance. After climbing all of the six peaks, hikers can register for Saranac 6’er status on the honor system. They will then be eligible to submit the dates to the village of Saranac Lake to receive an offi cial Saranac Sixers number, a vest patch and a bumper sticker.

Participants can attempt a variety of achievements with a Sixer fi nishing up all six peaks, and an Ultra 6’ers completing all six peaks in a 24-hour time span. Winter 6’ers will complete all six peaks during the winter season, and Family 6’ers will do it all as a family. I was in Saranac Lake last Saturday on a cold, wet and windy morning to see how many of the one hundred or so pre-registered 6’er participants would show up. The wind was whipping the rain sideways as the fi rst few hikers staggered toward the sign-up station.

The temperatures continued to drop and so did the rain, as weather conditions worsened throughout the day. By noon, snow had capped the nearby peaks and high winds pum-

SARANAC LAKE — For the second year, there will be a Marvin at the NYSPHSAA championship golf tournament.

Junior Connor Marvin used rounds of 84 and 86 at the Section VII golf championships May 23-24 at the Saranac Inn, placing in a tie for fifth place making it to the state tournament.

“I’m happy with it,” Marvin said about his two days of golf in poor weather conditions. “It could not have been more than 40 out there. It was cold and raining, which makes it hard to hit.”

Marvin, pictured at right, said he had some struggles on the front nine both days, but was able to score well on the back.

“Both days I think I got a little upset a couple times on the front, but on the back nine I stayed in it and made a couple of birdies.”

Marvin helped lead the Elizabethtown-Lewis Lions to a fifth-place finish on day one of the sectionals, when team champions are determined as well as the golfers who will compete for the nine spots on the Section VII state team.

“This is the fifth year we have sent a golfer to states and our 11th straight MVAC title,” Marvin said. “As Smit (Marvin, head coach and Connor’s father) said, this is the chance to be part of a dynasty.”

Marvin heads to the state tournament a year after his brother, Brock, went.

“Brock broke the school record for the lowest score at the state tournament last year so the main thing is that Brock has it coming for him with that record,” Connor said.

Marvin was the only valley golfer to make the state team, while three others made it to the second day of competition. Nate Devins of

Emergency personnel train to fight Ethanol fires with live fires

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com WILLSBORO „ Members of Essex County Volunteer fire departments came together to learn about combating liquid fires with a certification class that included putting out live propane fires at the parking lot outside the Commonwealth Home Fashions on May 16.

“We are having these classes in response to the increase in fuel based ethanol transportation,” said New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control Dan Baker. “Crude oil comes through our area about once a day and ethanol is transported at least five days a week, the risk for a liquid fire has gone up dramatically and we’re making an effort to get where we need to be to protect people.”

The group of about 22 members from various departments in the county rotated positions through about 15 burns, performing a different part each time. Some members were able to be certified and about 28 members audited the class.

The live burn exercise was carried out using a Kidde Firetrainer built tractor trailer prop.

“It’s a $250,000 prop paid for by NYSERTA,” said Baker. “We were able to pay for the

rest by a grant or the state.”

The prop used propane as opposed to ethanol because the two elements have similar characteristics and the propane provides a fire emergency personnel can control.

When dealing with an ethanol fire or a chemical spill, responders are taught to use techniques like damming, diking, diverting, absorbing and vapor suppression using a Class B foam. Responders are told to avoid contact with the material. One of the practices carried out through the live exercise was to extinguish and suppress flames in three locations at the scene.

“I want you to imagine the tanker has sprung a leak and a fire has started,” said Baker to trainees. “I want you to really think about what method you would use to put that fire out. You’ve got to put that leak out or stop that leak or the ground fire can’t go out.”

During the exercise, Baker stressed to the emergency responders that though this was a simulated emergency, there was a real fire with real danger if not extinguished properly.

Baker does exercises around New York State to train departments for ethanol and other gas burns and hopes with training departments who have never encountered this type of fire will be better prepared.

Essex County Firefighters combat a simulated ethanol spill at a training exercise in Willsboro on May 16.
