Ò Otis and the festival had always been a part of my life, and the festival was such a great time,Ó said Zach Allott, who is helping to organize the 2013 reboot. Ò ItÕ s an incredible place, and having it be such a part of my family has played a large factor in me wanting to bring it back.Ó Allott and several others got together and discussed bringing the event back.

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ There will be plenty of food at the Adirondack History Center Museum Sept. 14, including a number of people hoping their dessert will be the apple of your taste buds.

The Taste of Local Food Festival will take place Saturday, Sept. 14, running from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Along with the festival, there will be an Apple Dessert Contest, with entries accepted at the museum before 11 a.m.

Taste of Local is the museumÕ s way to help kick off Adirondack Harvest Week and will feature local restaurants, chefs and culinary artists showcasing their favorite appetizers, entrees, desserts and other prepared items featuring local foods and produce. Ò The museum has been the site of the Elizabethtown farmersÕ market for many years,Ó Director Margaret Gibbs said. Ò Farmers, food and land is strongly connected to Adirondack history and it shows the link between the past and present.Ó There is no admission charge for the event, but there will be tickets sold for $1 each that can be used at each of the tasting stations. Ò Last year, the tastings generally were $1 and $3 and people paid in tickets,Ó Gibbs said. Ò There is no admission fee to get into the festival and the museum does not charge an admission fee on that day.Ó For the apple dessert contest, real apples, preferably local apples, are required to be used in the creation of the dish.

he Wadhams Free Library kicks off its fall Wednesdays in Wadhams lecture series with a guaranteed crowd-pleaser on Sept. 18, as Essex Town Historian Shirley LaForest returns to the Library for an illustrated talk entitled Ò Back Home in Wadhams 1812.Ó Shirley combines a deep knowledge of local history with a warm and engaging speaking style that really brings the past to life for curious listeners of all ages. And she always has fascinating artifacts and archival tidbits to share.

ShirleyÕ s last talk at the Library drew so many people that an encore presentation had to be arranged to accommodate those who were turned away. As far as I know, itÕ s the only time thatÕ s happened. This time Shirley will talk about how the home front fared during the War of 1812, when the still-young United States cut the last strings binding its identity to that of Great Britain. ThatÕ s Wednesday, Sept. 18, at 7:30 p.m. As always, this talk is free and open to the public, and Shirley will be happy to take your questions. 962-8717.

ThereÕ s still time to catch Lombardi, which runs through Sept. 15 at the Depot Theatre.

Willsboro

The play, written by Eric Simonson and based on the book When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi by Pulitzer Prize winner David Maraniss, was a big hit on Broadway, and itÕ s easy to see why. Yes, it appeals to football fans, but thereÕ s a lot more to it as well.

The action focuses on a single all-important week in the life of the legendary Green Bay Packers head coach in 1965, right before he led the Packers to victory in the first two Super Bowls, following the 1966 and 1967 seasons.

All in all, the Packers won five championships in seven years, still a record. Visit depottheatre.org or call the box office at 962-4449.

Meanwhile, in the Depot Theatre Gallery you can view the Second Annual Depot Juried Art Show, which runs through Sept. 18. Westport painter Ellen Few Anderson won Best in Show; Honorable Mentions went to Shawna Armstrong, Penelope Clute, and Jimmy Golovach, while the PeopleÕ s Choice Award was won by Laura Carbone and Catherine Hartung.

And once again, your Westport Ambulance Squad volunteers thank you for your support in our recent Stretcher Drive!

A very fitting memorial funeral service for Marion Perkett Helms was shared by family and friends this past week, she touched many lives and we enjoyed sharing our memories with her family. Remember it is always great to share our appreciation of persons that we have known while they are still alive, so if you know of such a person get your thanks off to them now, donÕ t wait. I believe Edrie Dickerson has been able to come to her Reber home for a short visit before her next medical procedure.

This is the time of year to mow old hay fields and other open areas, to keep trees and brush from moving in. One of the pleasures of mowing is eating wild apples, picked from the tractor seat. Some are almost bitter and others as sweet as nectar, while one treeÕ s apples taste strongly of banana. Except for crab apples, apples are not native to North America but were widely planted in colonial times to produce cider. Johnny AppleseedÕ s trees were meant for cider production, not for a shiny red fruit on the teacherÕ s desk. CiderÕ s popularity here plunged in the 1840Õ s with

This past week and into the weekend I spent much time at the VisitorÕ s Center and we had many bikers stop in and express that this was their last leisure trip for the season. Our community should be very proud that we are able to provide this service to the public; of rest rooms, information and most of the time a friendly person to talk to them. We have had a great group of steady volunteers there all season; we are always looking for more to offer time, if interested just let Janice Allen know.

I keep getting reports from the New Senior Community Center located in the old Willsboro School building that more and more residents are moving in each week. It would be wonderful if they could be up to a full house by Winter.

Film Society readies for fall Fire department, restaurant team for fundraiser dinners

By Keith Lobdell

Ben Model will return to play the musical score for “The Kid,” Oct. 26, part of the Champlain Valley Film Society’s fall movie program.

Photo by Keith Lobdell on a novel by award-winning author Howard Frank Moser, this humorous coming-of-age story is set in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

On Oct. 26, Charlie ChaplinÕ s classic comedy “The Kid,” will feature silent film pianist Ben Model. The Chaplin film will be shown at the Willsboro Central School and tickets are $7.50 for adults and $3 for children. This show is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts.

Additional funding was provided by the Essex County Arts Council CAP Grant supported by public funds from Essex County.

The program, called Dining for a Cause, will give people in

the community a chance to get out for a meal and know that some of the proceeds are going back to their local fire department.

Cost for a college education becoming exorbitant

W

hen looking at investments, the smartest thing to do is to weigh the cost and the potential reward.

Every year students are working hard through high school in hopes of getting into a good college to further their educational goals and prepare themselves for the workforce.

If students are smart they can get scholarships to pay for college. If they are lucky, their families have stockpiled money for them to attend college, or perhaps they have a combination of the two.

Most college students start out with no financial debt and no real know-how of balancing a checkbook, planning their financial future, and no investments other than their potential investment in their education.

New Yorkers in recent years have seen a steady increase in tuition for State Universities (SUNY) or City Universities (CUNY). The $100 increases may not feel like an immediate punch to the wallet but over time those increases have mounted, severely impacting students.

Why is New York State using our students to settle debts made by its lawmakers? In recent years the tuition hikes have gone straight into the state’s general fund — not a penny benefited the educational institutions.

The state needs to start seeing college students as more than a revenue source if they truly believe they are Ò our future.Ó Many other countries see the value in providing a free college education to their citizens as a security deposit for a profitable future. European countries like Sweden offer a free college education to citizens. Though student loans are also taken out to provide food and housing while students attend college, SwedenÕ s college graduates are leaving with a degree and 60 percent less college debt than students in America.

Tying the financial burden left by financially established adults to newly self reliant young adults is unethical. Mortgage loan debt can be forgiven when someone declares bankruptcy.

Student loan debt will never be forgiven and interest rates are allowed to jump any which way the lender wants.

If our educated young adults must make a choice between securing a job in their field or taking a hit and starting in an entry-level position which pays more, many will be forced to leave their chosen field to pay off the debt.

Carrying this debt results in future impacts to the stateÕ s economy. Not only might graduates leave their field, they could leave the state to find cheaper cost of living elsewhere. This

abandonment will be one less New Yorker paying taxes, buying a home and or sending their children to New York schools.

If this is a graduate’s first loan, when a minimum payment comes through on the bill the first thing an untrained person will see is the minimum allowable payment. The minimum payment could be $50 or it could be hundreds.

Either might feel more manageable for the student. Unfortunately, paying just the minimum debt does little to lower the principle. It could be 10 or even 20 years before the student is debt free.

And, the option of deferring students loans can only be accessible for so long.

Most college graduates go into fields still as entry level workers with minimum paychecks living in modest homes if not back in with their parents to pay back the student loans.

The question needs to be raised why is New York strapping people who are just starting out with debts that most simply cannot afford to pay back Ñ at least in the foreseeable future.

In 2011, The New York State Legislature passed legislation which authorized the SUNY Board of Trustees to raise tuition for SUNY and CUNY campuses every year for the next five years.

SUNY schools will raise tuition $300 per year for in-state students through the 2015-2016 academic year, $940 per year for out-of-state students at SUNY colleges and $1,340 per year for out-of-state students at the SUNY University Centers located in Binghamton, Stony Brook, Buffalo and Albany.

Earlier in the summer Republican senators shot down bills before the Senate that would have stabilized and regulated interest rates for student loans and set a precedent in investing in the future of students in New York.

An analysis by the State Budget Office estimated that interest rates for students will rise nearly 3 percent this year alone. The cost of a college education is simply becoming too overwhelming in this state and a majority of the country.

Is the alternative to simply not attend college and enter the workforce debt free?

It is a question todayÕ s high school graduate really needs to ask themselves. In the meantime, state lawmakers need to do a whole lot more when it comes to investing in higher education, because these individuals truly are our future. Ñ

Grateful for donations

Letters to the Editor

To the Valley News: The Horace Nye Home Activities Department would like to send out a huge thank you for all of the efforts put fourth by the Essex County Board of Supervisors as well as community members who supported and donated items in our recent drive for supplies. With the generous donations made by many community members, the activities department at Horace Nye was able to obtain a variety of items for the multi-sensory stimulation room (snoezelen room) and hope to get that up and running very soon. The dedication and support our nursing home receives from the surrounding communities is outstanding. Everyone here at the nursing home would like to share our heartfelt appreciation for all that has been done for our facility and, most importantly, our residents.

Candy Goff Elizabethtown

Concerned about plan To the Valley News: Only about 10 copies of ElizabethtownÕ s Comprehensive Plan Draft were produced by Supervisor Margaret Bartley in June.

The Town Board received copies, but they werenÕ t made available to the public. Having finally read it, I can understand why.

There can no longer be any doubt that the long range desire is to zone and regulate the entire Town of Elizabethtown. Expanding the size of the Ò Hamlet Ò is also desired. Once the hamlet is expanded, then hamlet type zoning would follow it. The Cobble Hill corridor is a likely recipient.

If the Plan is approved by the Town Board, implementing the Plan is the first order of business and a new Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee will be appointed.

NYS Law 272-a states that adoption of a Comprehensive Plan is voluntary, but Ò once an actual plan is adopted, however, all land use regulations must be in accordance with it.Ò This means Ò that Plan adoption is followed by the adoption of a series of zoning laws designed to implement the Comprehensive Plan.Ó Law 272-a is mentioned several times in the Plan as a determining resource. This Plan is no simple Ò road map,Ó or Ò wish list.Ó NYS law requires that it be implemented.

Appendix E. of the Plan, explains in detail how the HamletÕ s 3 project Ò is the basis for this comprehensive plan.Ó The HamletÕ s projects were funded and supported by environmentalist interests. The property owners, and business owners, of Elizabethtown must read this Plan, and decide if itÕ s in their best interest.

Read it carefully, for the devil is in the details. Regardless of any revisions, I am totally opposed to this Plan, for to enjoy any of it , you must accept all of it.

There will be no public vote for this Plan, nor for zoning changes. There will only be public hearings for you to ask questions, then the Town Board will vote on both. The structure of your town board has never been more important to you.

The unchallenged passage of this Plan will amount to an abdication of your property rights and the surrender of your town to the environmentalists.

Ken Fenimore, Elizabethtown

Notice:CandidateEndorsements As we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the endorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes Ñ a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

Concern for others To the Times of Ti: Always I have been pleased by my Scotch ancestry and always I have enjoyed what Robert Burns said: “The greatest gift that God could give us, is to see ourselves as others see us.Ó Sadly, however, these drone attacks by our government are wrong because there is no concern for other human beings. The administration is conducting these attacks together with the Pentagon, the CIA and other agencies.

If we are to Ò see ourselves as others see usÓ we must know that the people in their own land overseas consider these attacks savage upon their own land.

The little girl Malala nearly died as a result of a savage attack by a member of the Taliban, but out government attack on all suspected terrorists is savage for it is also a war on civilians and a war that will never end.

What can we do if we want to do something?

Well, one thing we can do is to finally come to the realization that our government, state as well as federal, treats us like little children. We are told what will be done and we are also told that we have nothing to say about it. A good example is the imposing of the Safe Act in New York State.

Another thing that can be one by those who choose not to be treated at little children is to form a group of freelance people who will have Ò a voice in their own affairs.Ó I will stand beside these freelancers because I am best suited for the job and that is because, although I am a registered Republican, most of my closest and dearest friends are registered Democrats.

We can have a sort of junction confederation which actually is a joining together of the like-minded people. We can call it W& EJC. Also we can have a voice in the next election on Nov. 5, 2013, for we are well aware well aware that President Obama is playing golf while national and international problems only get worse.

However, the vast array of kewpie dolls that are called leaders of the Republican party are not doing or saying much that is worth while either. This row of kewpie dolls begin with the Republican national chairman and continue with John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and many others.

On another subject and as an ordinary citizen, I believe that kewpie dolls should have asked last week for equal time for the Republicans simply because a presidential press conference is not the time and place to assault Republicans in congress for doing something that they might do.

Flushable wipes hurting sewer pumps

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Did you know that flushable wipes could have an impact on your taxes?

That is what one public works superintendent is saying after twice in one week having to clear wastewater treatment pumps that had become clogged by the wipes. Ò They create a lot of extra work and a lot of expense for the town,Ó Westport DPW head Dennie Westover said. Ò We have to commit three people to the job based on the regulations, one above ground and

Ò Wipes, the wands that you are supposed to use on the toilet and then just release into the water, these are causing havoc with our pumps,Ó he said. Ò There are plastic ingredients in them and they do not break down like toilet paper does.Ó At times, the clumps of wipes and other items advertised as flushable that the DPW has found in their pumps have been

Ò We just did some upgrades on two pumps, and the cost for that was $130,000 and change,Ó Westover said. Ò That would be a huge cost if we had to replace a pump in an emergency because it was bound up by these wipes.Ó The wipes can also present a septic tank problem because they do not break down. Ò Basically, if it is not toilet paper, it should not go down the toilet,Ó he said. Ò You should bag it and toss it into the trash.Ó

Foster parenting ‘not a negative’

Essex County seeks more foster families

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — Stevie Burrows is preparing to enter her final semester of college, and she has her foster family to thank for it. Ò Half of the things I have done in my life I probably would have never done if I had not been here,Ó Burrows said next to her foster mother, Becky Provost. Ò It was an experience that opened up my eyes.Ó For Provost, Burrows is one of the many success stories that have come from her time being a foster parent through Essex County. Ò Fostering gets perceived as a negative, and that is not the case at all,Ó Provost said. Ò Most of the kids that we get are from situations where you have to teach the parents to be parents again. Foster parents must be willing to work with the parents so the kids can go home. We have had kids as short as a couple of days right through to years.Ó Provost said that in her time as a foster parent, she had been Ò blessedÓ with some good kids. Ò There was only one time we had a problem where we had to have a kid removed,Ó she said. Ò They tell you to treat the kids like your own. If you give your kids 20 presents for Christmas, then get them

Stevie Burrows, center, sits with adoptive parents Bob and Becky Provost. The Provosts have been an active part of the Essex County foster program, having housed many children from newborns to teens.

20 presents.Ó Burrows was adopted by the Provost family and said the transition was tough at first. Ò When I got here, six of the seven siblings were here and then we all got dispersed,Ó she said. Ò There was the jealously that I think you are going to have between the new kids and the kids that are already here, but everyone was pretty welcoming and there were two kids here that were my age, so that helped.Ó Still, Burrows said it was a long adjustment process. Ò I didnÕ t know what to think when I was placed here in foster care, but I didnÕ t think it was going to be good,Ó she said. Ò I didnÕ t get along with my mom for at least five years.Ó Ò She has come a long way,Ó Provost said. Ò She has come all the way to the point where she is graduating in December, and I think that is a pretty remarkable accomplishment.Ó

Provost said that while some people get into the foster parenting program, with the intent to adopt, the program is about more than that.

“Judge (Richard) Meyer is a firm believer of doing everything that we can to put the child back with the family instead of in foster care,Ó she said. Ò It is very rare to be able to adopt a baby from foster care.Ó However, Provost has been able to make a couple of adoptions, including Burrows. Ò We started in foster care because we had three daughters and because of health reasons the doctor recommended no more pregnancies,Ó she said. Ò I wanted a son, and we were able to adopt Antonio when he was four months old.Ó Essex County is currently seeking those interested in being foster parents. For more information, call the Essex County Foster and Adoptive Home Finding office at 8733422.

Sprague running unopposed WILLSBORO — Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague will run unopposed for a second four year term for the upcoming General Election.

“I do hope that this signifies I have met the challenges of the office and upheld the law to the utmost in the eyes of the people of Essex County,Ó Sprague said.

LAKE PLACID Ñ The North Country Regional Youth Justice Team, one of eight established across the state as part of Governor Andrew M. CuomoÕ s ongoing efforts to reform New YorkÕ s juvenile justice system, met for the first time in Lake Placid, bringing together key partners to begin discussing ways to improve outcomes and continue to reduce the number of youth who become involved in the system.

Representatives from county probation and social services departments, county attorneys’ offices, law enforcement and service providers from Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence, Franklin and Essex counties comprise the team, which met at the High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid. More than 35 agencies and organizations are participating in the initiative.

The team will seek broad community involvement in the stateÕ s juvenile justice reform efforts and strengthen

communication between state policy makers and local stakeholders, including service providers, advocates, the courts and law enforcement agencies.

The state Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and the Office of the Governor’s Deputy Secretary for Public Safety are coordinating the teams. Ò Under the GovernorÕ s leadership, the state has taken significant steps to reform and improve its juvenile justice system by creating programs and an infrastructure that provide youth a path toward a productive, crime-free life,Ó DCJS Executive Deputy Commissioner Michael C. Green said. “These Regional Youth Justice Teams will provide local communities with an opportunity to have a real voice in those reform efforts and have a direct line of communication to state leaders who are making the decisions to improve the system.Ó The teams will identify promising local practices and

develop strategies to address a variety of issues, including: decreasing the number of children and youth referred to court; addressing disproportionate minority contact in the juvenile justice system; improving access to services; creating partnerships among the courts, local communities and state agencies in the development of community-based interventions; and responding to federal, state and private grant opportunities.

Representatives of agencies attending todayÕ s meeting include The ChildrenÕ s Home of Jefferson County; Departments of Social Services and Probation in Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence, Clinton, Franklin and Essex counties; and local law enforcement agencies, as well as the New York State Police.

Local Teen begins singing career with two “Idol” wins

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com Au SABLE FORKS — Singing has become the focus of 14-year-old Latalya Ò TallyÓ DuellÕ s dreams. Ò I always dreamed I would be famous one day,Ó Tally said.

Tally got a taste of stardom this summer opening for two big acts, Lori Morgan and Chris Higbee, by winning local Ò IdolÓ competitions. Ò I never thought I would be opening for Lori Morgan at 14, hopefully my dreams keep coming true like theyÕ ve started to,Ó she said.

After winning the MayorÕ s Cup Idol in Plattsburgh, Tally opened for famous country music star Morgan at the Clinton County Fair in July. Later in the summer she continued to win over judges at the Essex County Fair where she won the Idol competition there and got the opportunity to open for Higbee.

Tally said she always loved singing but only began training a year ago. Ò IÕ ve always liked to sing, I felt I might as well get out there and try to make it somewhere,Ó Tally said.

She decided to move from school performances to working with professional coaching. Ò She works with two singing coaches and sheÕ s singing in local concerts and competitions, itÕ s really taken off,Ó said TallyÕ s mom Christy Duel.

Tally said her first large performance in front of a large crowd was scary. Ò It was an amazing experience, opening for Lori Morgan, when I was backstage I was kind of in a state of shock before I went out,Ó said

Latalya “Tally” Duell performs as the opening act for the Chris Higbee concert at the Essex County Fair after winning the fair’s idol contest. Duell also opened for Lauri Morgan at the Clinton County Fair.

Tally. Ò The audience looked big, IÕ d never performed in front of an audience that size. It was really nerve racking until I got out there.Ó Though she was nervous, Tally said once she started singing and got out on stage it was a great feeling. Ò It really helped me for my next performance when I opened for Chris Higbee,Ó said Tally.

After winning two Idol competitions, Tally

wants to keep going and get her musical talents out there. Ò One day I want to try out for bigger competitions like the voice,Ó said Tally.

When she gets to The Voice Tally hopes she can be mentored by one of her favorite country music starts: Blake Shelton. Ò I would love to work with him, he seems so willing to help a young artists so he would be

who I picked if I get the chance,Ó said Tally.

Growing up, Tally said she has always loved country music, keeping it close to her heart. Ò IÕ ve always loved country music, it means something to me how the songs are more true to life and have meaning to them,Ó said Tally. Ò IÕ m in love with music.Ó For now Tally said she enjoys singing songs originally recorded by some of her favorite country music stars like Miranda Lambert, Sugarland, and Little Big Town but she said she wants to practice and start writing her own stories like the ones told through lyrics in country music songs. Ò I started trying to write my own songs itÕ s definitely a process,” said Tally. “My friends, family and a lot about my mom, she is a single mom and itÕ s been just the two of us and so I write a lot about that.Ó Tally has been learning from local music coaches Susan Richards and Bill Verity. The pair help the young artists with range, voice techniques, breathing and developing a stage presence. Ò They teach me a whole range of things, I hope with practice and experience IÕ ll get the most out of it for my singing,Ó said Tally.

For now, the teen will return to school at AuSable Valley and hopes to have a demo of her music made in hopes of finding an agent. Ò IÕ m going to keep looking for competition anywhere I can find it and hopefully one day it will be worth all of the work,Ó said Tally.

North Country Chamber to hold Fall Job Fair at Plattsburgh State University

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The North Country Chamber of Commerce (NCCC) will host its biannual Job Fair on Sept. 18 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Westside Ballroom at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.

The fair will give local people the opportunity to find out what jobs are available in the region. Ò The job fair has a very good history of connecting employers with potential employees, I know of quite a few employers who have been hired right on the spot,Ó said NCCC Administrative Assistant Becky Manor. Ò There are a wide variety of jobs available and when people come in they will get a guide book with a complete list of employers at the fair and the available jobs.Ó

Manor said the NCCC has been sponsoring the job fairs for the past 16 years.

The venue typically hosts between 35 to 40 area businesses. Ò Bring your resume and come dressed for a job interview, I always say you should dress for success,Ó Manor said.

Local companies will have representatives on hand to accept resumes, give out applications, set up interviews, and/or talk about career opportunities with their organization. Some of the organizations participating are FedEx Ground/Home Delivery, Casella Waste, Cellular SalesVerizon Wireless, PrimeLink/Champlain Telephone, Spherion Staffing, Advocacy and Resource Center, Manpower, IEC Holden, ETS Inc, CVPH Medical Center and many more.

“People should definitely come, take a half hour or an hour of their day if theyÕ re looking to better themselves or to make a

change in their career fields,” Manor said.

The job fair is also an opportunity for job seekers to learn about career fields they might never have considered.

Currently, the job fair has openings for employers to get a table and join the event, Manor said. The cost for businesses interested in a table at the Job Fair is $275 for North Country Chamber Members and Associate Members and $ 375 for nonmembers.

The Job Fair is free to attend for applicants. The job fair is co-sponsored by the NCCC, One WorkSource, North Country Workforce Investment Board, JSEC, Hometown Radio, Hall Communications, Plattsburgh-North Country Service Corp and WPTZ-TV. For more information, contact the North Country Chamber of Commerce at 563-1000 or visit www.northcountrychamber.com.

Help us Obi-wan Kenobi, you’re the Palace Theater’s only hope for fundraiser

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID Ñ The Palace Theater in Lake Placid is hoping that the force is with them.

The movie theater, in partnership with the Adirondack North Country Association and the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, will be hosting a special screening of the original Ò Star WarsÓ movie Ñ thatÕ s Ò Episode IV, A New HopeÓ from 1977 Ñ with Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, James Earl Jones as the voice of legendary bad guy Darth Vader, and Alec Guiness as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The screening will take place Thursday, Sept. 19, with a 6 p.m. reception and a 7 p.m. showing.

All proceeds will go to the Palace Theater to help them as part of the Go Digital or Go Dark Campaign. Major motion picture studios, in an effort to save in costs associated with film production, are transitioning over to a digital format for distribution which will not work with current theater operating systems. Many small community theaters throughout the nation, including the Palace, have since been faced with the dilemma of raising enough funds to transition into the digital age or risk going out of business.

Recently, the State Theater in Tupper Lake completed a successful fundraising campaign, generating $95,000 to replace the two screens in the theater.

Along with the reception and the screening, Melissa Hart of ANCA said they are hoping people will show up in their best Star Wars-themed attire.

“Costumes definitely will be encouraged,” Hart said. “We’re even looking into bringing back Chewbacca.Ó Hart said that they are still working on a minimum donation price, but those who plan to attend the event should give generously to help save the Palace. Ò Star WarsÓ was a movie that was brought up during the launch

of the Go Digital or Go Dark Campaign in April by one of the directors that helped make the trailer, asking moviegoers before the feature film begins to help support the local theaters. Ò (The people in) my cabin on Silver Lake won a trip to come to Lake Placid and see Ô Star Wars,Õ Ó said Aaron Woolf. Ò Going to the theater really is a community experience. Seeing a film is collective, and we want the next generation in our North Country towns and villages to have that experience.Ó Currently, six theaters are still looking to raise the necessary money for the digital changeover, including the Palace, the Strand in Old Forge, the Strand in Plattsburgh, the Strand in Schroon Lake, the Hollywood in Au Sable Forks and Cinematheque in South Glens Falls.

For more information and to make a donation, visit the website razoo.com/team/Go-Digital-Or-Go-Dark. Donations can also be made offline by check to ANCA, 67 Main St., Saranac Lake, N.Y. 12983. Please indicate the theater and community you are giving to on your check.
