E L I Z A B E T H TO W N — A lawsuit over payment for design work on a sewage treatment system is the latest firestorm between the current and former administrations in Elizabethtown.

Engineering company Barton & Loguidice, who provided engineer services to the town for its proposed sewer project, filed suit in Essex County Court on Sept.

4, contending that the town owes them $154,964 for services rendered.

Town Supervisor Margaret Bartley said that as of Monday, Sept. 23, the town had not received notice that the suit had been filed.

“As of (Sept. 23), the town has not been served with the lawsuit,” she said. “It is the hope of the current town board that a negotiated settlement will be reached so that the town can move forward with the sewer project.”

Bartley said that the last time she and the town had spoken with the company, both sides were still looking for a settlement on the claim.

ESSEX — Thanks to a tip from a concerned citizen, 41 malnourished horses have been seized while their owner, Shelley Wing of Essex, has been charged with 41 counts of failing to provide sustenance for them.

Wing pleaded not guilty to all 41 charges at her arraignment Sept. 23 in Essex Town Court. The charges fall under Article 26, Section 353 of the Agriculture and Market Law. According to Essex Town Justice Stephen Sayward, Jr.,

Section 353 relates to failure to provide sustenance to the animals and relates to the general, “well-being,” of the horses. Wing was scheduled to reappear in town court Oct. 7.

The horses were seized from her residence Sept. 20 by officers of the Essex County Sheriff’s Department, aided by members of the county’s Animal Cruelty Task Force Committee, the North Country SPCA, Crane Mountain Valley Horse Rescue and volunteers.

Several seized horses were being kept in paddocks at the Essex County Fairgrounds. The stalls were blocked off by police tape.

Large colon takes center stage at ECH hunters health expo katherine@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — An inflatable colon took over the Elizabethtown Community Hospital waiting room Sept. 18.

The large and informative arch welcomed community members who came for hunters health screenings, a flu shot clinic, and blood drive.

Director of community relations at the hospital, Jane Hooper, said the colon was a conversation starter for people coming for other health screenings and preventative care.

Representatives from SANOFI, a pharmaceutical company has been bringing the inflatable, walk-through colon to dif-

ferent hospitals and events to illustrate the importance of early testing.

“It’s the one cancer we can see and prevent through colonoscopy, so we asked to have something to show people,” Susan Bradley, Senior Oncology Clinical Product Specialist with Sanofi said.

Bradley said one in 20 people tested are found to have the progressive disease.

“If detected early, colon cancer can be treated with medication,” Bradley said.

“Once the cancer progresses to a certain stage the only thing that can be done is try to prolong the quality of life, early detection is key to fightSue Bradley and Pat Sullivan of Sanofi stand with representatives from the Elizabethtown Community Hosing this.”

to me leaving as public record shows,” Merrihew said. “All this smoke and mirrors with saying that it is the previous administration’s fault, the public record is my defense. The DEC would not have released the funds if they felt it was not proper.”

Both Fenimore and Merrihew said they hoped that the pre-construction project would have been allowed to be completed so the physical work on a sewer system could have begun.

“What stopped the projects were the unilateral actions of the town supervisor as a direct result of her venture into alternative sewer system plans,” Fenimore said. “A project that was nearly complete should have been allowed to finish, which she said was going to happen back in February.

Once she was told that alternative plans would not be funded, she chose to terminate the previous plan and told Barton that they would not pay anymore for it.”

“This project is about 95 percent complete and it needs to go forward,” Merrihew said. “My hope is that in January, I would want to be able to try and re-negotiate with the agencies.”

Bartley said that as part of the negotiations, she had digitized seven years worth of records between 2007-2013 and made them available to Barton & Loguidice as well as the public (etownny.

com).

Bartley said that she has been questioned about the lawsuit over the past week, which was posted at the Elizabethtown Post Office and given to The Valley News by Fenimore. In April, Fenimore posted town financial information at the Post Office that he had received through a Freedom of Information Act request, prompting the town to change bank accounts.

“I do not know how Mr. Fenimore obtained a copy of a lawsuit that the town has not received,” Bartley said. “The only money available for a settlement is the balance of the grant money, which must be approved by the DEC.” “The paperwork was filed with the Essex County Clerks office,” Fenimore said. “That information is available to the public

by Freedom of Information Law.”

Champlain Area Trails has generously offered to help us build out our new trail system at our new shelter. We’re having a work day and seeking volunteers for Saturday, Sept. 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Volunteers should meet right at the shelter located at 7700 Rt 9N in Elizabethtown. Please bring gloves, loppers, hand saws, and shovels! For more details, call 962-2287 or email champlaintrails@ gmail.com. Not able to make it to our trail day? The NCSPCA is always in need of volunteers to help socialize animals, walk dogs, and provide other forms of animal care. Even if you only have a few hours available per month, our furry friends are grateful for whatever time you can offer. To learn about general volunteer opportunities, please call 873-5000.

Our featured pet this week is Ginger, a Domestic Longhair/mix with a gorgeous tortoiseshell coat. Ginger and her buddy Truffles lost their loving home when their owners moved and were unable to take their pets with them. Unfortunately, their story is all too common as many apartments and rental properties do not allow pets - even felines as sweet and well-mannered as these kitties! Ginger is a beautiful lady with luxurious long fur, intelligent amber eyes, and unusual markings. She is four years old and a very mellow girl who

Election is just around the corner and we do have a very active local election this year, there will be many changes as several that have served us in the past are no longer assuming their town positions. So as the citizens of this community we really need to make an all out effort to learn what those running for offices stand for as they represent us. Then we need to get out and vote.

My little indoor feline girl has had to make do with the loud blue jays and cardinals as well as the large flock of pigeons that explode from ground to roof top and back again repeatedly much to the entertainment of my cat.

Smart growth project eyed in Au Sable Forks, four other hamlets

The project in Au Sable Forks will show a new residential cluster or what they call a “pocket neighborhood” development above the flood plain.

The Rolling Hill Mill Road site offers a variety of housing types enabling diverse income levels and multi-generational living arrangements, according to the plan.

“With ample common space, a site for a community garden, and some housing units in clusters or ‘pocket neighborhoods,’ the site arrangement engenders an open sense of community while preserving privacy,” the plan states. “The site also features walking trails connecting with nature as well as other areas of the hamlet.”

The other projects are: Caroga, new hamlet center; Indian Lake, core improvements to the downtown; Blue Mountain Lake, new hotel; and Long Lake, Jennings Pond Park.

Developing smart growth around existing hamlet centers has two major benefits: 1. It enables the community to integrate land suitable for development into the fabric of the existing hamlet.

2. It complements the protection of open space by discouraging visually unappealing and inefficient sprawl and strip development.

Smart growth principles include: form and place; boundaries; walkability and human-scale; access to nature; compact centers; energy and sustainability; jobs and housing; travel choices; visual quality; resource preservation; and collective decision-making.

Vote yes on Prop 5

here are few major employers in the Adirondack Park, and we must do everything we can to support them.

One of those is NYCO Minerals, which employs 105 North Country residents at their operation in the towns of Willsboro and Lewis.

Over the past two years, both houses of the New York State Legislature passed bills supporting a constitutional amendment approving a land swap between the state and the mining company that would grant access to more veins of Wollastonite, a mineral used in paint, plastics used in the automobile industry, brake pads and linings, ceramics, construction materials and more. This swap would allow NYCO to remain viable in Essex County for 10 more years. Currently, the only two Wollastonite mines in the country are located in the North Country, with one site in Lewis and one in Gouverneur.

Now it’s up to voters to seal the deal. The final step in the process to transfer the 200 acres known as Lot 8 to NYCO in exchange for 1,500 acres of company-owned property and a promise to return the 200 acres back to the state as reclaimed property is a statewide referendum which will be on the Nov. 5 general election ballot.

We urge voters to approve this exchange and vote “yes” on Proposition 5.

This appears to be a win-win situation for NYCO and New York state, plus a win for environmentalists. The state will add 1,500 acres to its Forest Preserve, property that NYCO owns but only touched to take core drilling samples which came back with no traces of the mineral they sought. In addition, the 200 acres that are being loaned to NYCO will be returned as reclaimed property, making 1,700 acres of Forever Wild land returned to the Adirondack Park.

It will be good for local municipalities as the 200 acres, currently assessed at $120,000, will now be assessed at near $1 million based on the value of the mineral deposits NYCO is seeking to extract.

It will also be good for the North Country because it will keep good jobs here. Some say NYCO can just mine up north and be content, but that would still mean the loss of 100-plus jobs from the North Country economy, jobs that are desperately needed.

The proposal has plenty of backing from nearly all sides of the issue. The measure is being supported by United Steelworkers, AFL-CIO, Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages, local and state politicians and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

It has also received the blessing of the Elizabethtown-based Adirondack Council, a leader when it comes to watching out for the environmental interests of the Adirondack Park.

Council officials said the additional 1,500 acres of Forest Preserve comprises better habitat for fish and wildlife, 3 miles of streams and has considerably more ecological value than the 200 acres which would be temporarily given up. Executive Director William Janeway further added that “the proposed land swap now exceeds our standard for supporting constitutional amendments involving the Forever Wild clause.”

In addition to the economic benefit, this land swap will be a win for the Adirondack Park, which will receive 1,500 acres of Forever Wild lands contributing to the beauty and serenity of the region we all call home. And we get our 200 acres back from NYCO once they are done mining. The land will be filled back in and reclaimed through seeding. There truly appears to be no losers in this proposed deal.

On Nov. 5, as you are deciding who your local elected leaders will be, please take a moment to look at the state propositions and vote in favor of the constitutional land swap between the state and NYCO. —Denton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

One-sided

To the Valley News: Shawn Ryan’s article about the NYCO land swap vote in the Sept. 21 issue is completely unbalanced. Everyone is entitled to her or his opinion but a newspaper should present both sides of an issue. There is no mention of the groups opposed to the constitutional amendment (Protect the Adirondacks and Adirondack Wild). Nor is Oak Hill discussed, NYCO’s other mine with an expected life of 16 years or more. It appears NYCO simply wants more land and more profit at the expense of “forever wild” forest.

No matter how you look at it, there will be another strip mine scarring the Jay Wilderness for many years if the amendment passes.

Timothy Mount Elizabethtown

Disagrees

To the Valley News: “Is there anyone else out there….?” asks one of your letter writers. Well yes. I don’t think Mr. Kleiman’s accusation of “racist rantings” by the publisher of the Valley News is accurate or effective. I do think Mr. Alexander has a talent for putting his foot in his mouth. Subsequently defending himself against the charge of racism Mr. Alexander writes “…we should not turn a blind eye leaving [many African Americans] to injure and kill each other in these crime ridden communities…” That’s just clumsy and thoughtless phrasing. It is reminiscent of the fashionable idea of the “White Man’s Burden” popular about a century ago. It implies that “we” --whoever that is--don’t kill each other like impoverished African Americans do. Mr. Alexander need only to take a better look at any morning newspaper or evening newscast to realize how wrong that is and how foolish he sounds.

Suicide and millennial’s

I prefer to address once again the other issue touched on by your correspondent.

Call it the burden carried by your readers.

Week in, week out, the Publisher of the Valley News hyperventilates his political opinions in apparently blissful ignorance of other points of view and with little fear of contradiction. I know of no other newspaper --reputable or otherwise-- that serves up to a captive audience only its owner’s opinions on national issues. The weekly columns written by anonymous editors about local matters hardly remedy this practice . And it certainly does not constitute a public forum that Mr. Alexander receives--as he tells us,-oh, so many private letters and phone calls commenting on his ideas.

There was a time when the Valley News was fun to read. We gladly waited and paid for the varieties of opinion expressed in weekly or bi-weekly or monthly columns signed by staff writers like Fred Herbst, Rob Hall and many others. The Valley News in those days was a community newspaper, a marketplace of opinions, an example of a free press on which, --as Thomas Jefferson wrote,-- our liberty depends. Its not that any longer.

rose up in service in response to the attacks.

The North Country Regional Volunteer Center operated by the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. held a food drive in conjunction with Adirondack Community Action Program (ACAP), Adirondack Daily Enterprise, Catholic Charities of Franklin County, and Joint Council for Economic Opportunity (JCEO).

The food drive was a success! We doubled the amount from last year with 570 food items and $350 being donated by concerned residents through workplace collections and individual givers. A colossal thank you goes out to all the citizens that contributed to the success of the 9/11 food drive by either donating or volunteering their time to collect the must needed food items. The generous outpouring of support is what makes our region a COMMUNITY! A special Thank you goes out to Shirley Hosler who volunteered for four days sitting outside the Adirondack Daily Enterprise collecting over 150 food items and over $350 in money that was donated to the Saranac Lake Food Pantry.

Correction

To the Valley News: In 2009, Congress designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance and charged the Corporation for National and Community Service with helping to support this effort across the country. The Sept. 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance established the inspiring tradition of Americans engaging in charitable service on 9/11 as an annual and forward-looking tribute to the victims, survivors, and those who

Information was incorrectly reported in the Barber Campground story printed in the Sept. 21 issue of the Valley News. The campground is located south of the hamlet of Westport; the Adirondack Park Agency issued its initial permit in 1993; and the campground’s potable water is served by Westport’s municipal water system, which would not be overloaded by the expansion, according to the APA’s Tom Saehrig.

Five Towns One Goal

T

he five Towns consisting of Minerva, Newcomb, North Hudson, Indian Lake and Long Lake are working together to take advantage of the recent and future State acquisition of the former Finch Pruyn and other Nature Conservancy Lands. We, known as the Upper Hudson Recreation Hub, are the Towns most affected by this purchase. It is we who have the hope that through the vision of Gov. Cuomo and DEC Commissioner Martens, we will see the increase in tourism revenue that they have alluded to. This could result in new businesses opening up and seasonal businesses being able to remain open year round. It could revitalize our failing economies.

These lands have the potential of providing a vast array of new recreational opportunities on lands heretofore inaccessible by the general public. These new recreational opportunities could provide the stimulus for increased tourism in our five towns.

At the crux of this vision and hope is the classification of these lands now being considered by the APA, at present for the Essex Chain of Lakes and Indian River Tracts and, in the future, the Boreas Ponds Tract. Together these tracts, depending on the classification, would provide the base for trails connecting our five towns via the extensive network of maintained roads formerly used as logging and access roads. This would connect our towns and offer opportunities for snowmobiling, mountain biking, horseback riding, as well as hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, canoeing and skiing never before possible.

The classification of these tracts is primarily between Wilderness the most restrictive - and Wild Forest, a less restrictive classification which would allow for reasonable motorized access and mountain biking, which a Wilderness classification would not. Following

the classification process by the APA, the DEC will develop a Unit Management Plan (UMP), hopefully soliciting the inputs of the five towns. It is through the UMP that the permitted uses of these lands will be decided, but with a Wilderness Classification many of those uses would be off the table, simply not permitted, and therefore much of the conversation regarding the Unit Management Plan would be over. Under a Wilderness Classification access would be severely limited and many of our elderly, families with small children, handicapped, disabled and physically challenged would simply not be able to access these ponds, lakes, rivers and streams. The five towns believe that these areas should have reasonable access to all people, that it is their right, not a privilege as some would have it. We also believe that that the farmhouse at the Outer Gooley Club and the Lodge and support buildings on the Boreas Ponds be maintained and be used for training and education purposes, information centers, outposts, or as lodging.

The five towns therefore ardently support a land classification for the Essex Chain of Lakes and Indian River Tracts of Wild Forest, allowing the DEC to work with local governments in developing a UMP that both provides for access for all, various forms of recreational opportunity and preservation of the priceless beauty of our park and its fragile ecological infrastructure. A Wilderness classification will not allow for reasonable access for many and will not permit many of the recreational opportunities we feel essential to increased tourism revenue. For example, not even mountain biking is permissible in Wilderness areas. A Wild Forest classification of these and future State Land acquisitions is the only classification that will allow for a fair and balanced UMP to be discussed.

S

uicide is a difficult topic to consider and or write about and I do so to raise the collective consciousness around this enigmatic issue. I want to be clear that I am not giving advice on this very weighty issue and any concerns that you may have about yourself or someone else should be addressed by a healthcare professional without delay.

Many people may have known someone who has committed suicide and over the years, I have lost several close friends to suicide and like so many other people, I have been left wondering if there might have been something that I or others might have done to prevent such a tragic end.

By Scot Hurlburt Now, after declines in suicide, it is increasing again and especially so for Americans, 15-24 years of age or Millennial’s. Last year, 38,000 Americans died as a result of suicide and each day about 1700 people attempt suicide unsuccessfully. The National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center found that 1 in 5 teenagers had thought about suicide, 1 in 6 had made a plan for suicide and 1 in 12 had actually attempted suicide.

Girls think about committing suicide about twice as often as boys do, however, boys die at four times the rate from suicide as they tend use firearms more than girls. One of the real difficulties in detecting suicidal intentions among teens or young adults is a perception that it is a turbulent time for all young people.

Many adults refer to teens or young adults as having “raging hormones” or “everyone went through crazy times as a teenager or young adult.” I am not convinced that these stereotypes are accurate as I have known many young people who lacked life experience but were emotionally balanced and were coping very well with their respective lives. Like many stereotypes they can produce unintended outcomes and that influence may be in play here as well.

One thing that we do know is that there is a science based connection between depression and suicide. It has also been demonstrated that people of any age who abuse alcohol or drugs are at higher risk of committing suicide. Certain behaviors are also strongly linked to suicide such as sleep disturbance, verbalizing that they are thinking about suicide, withdrawal from friends, family or common activities, giving away prized possessions, uncommon anger or rages, anxiety and profound changes in eating habits.

In years past, some people believed that talking about suicide could actually cause a person to make an attempt, that line of thought has been entirely unfounded. In fact, talking may be one of the best things that can happen to anyone who might be thinking about hurting themselves.

If you or someone that you are concerned about or if you have a son or daughter in your home that you are concerned about; there are some actions that you can and should consider. Secure all firearms and ammunition if you have not yet done so, just the presence of a firearm increases the risk of suicide.

Secure any and all medications if you have not yet done so. Try initiating a conversation about your concerns and if you feel that your concerns are well founded or you feel that there may be imminent danger you must get the person that you are concerned about to a health care professional immediately and that may mean your local emergency room.

From there, the helping process can begin which may include mediation and counseling or both or it may include a short stay in an inpatient facility until the danger passes aided by 24 hour a day support, medication and therapeutic counseling. Many people who struggle with depression feel ashamed or guilty that they have this malady. In reality it is no different that having diabetes or high blood pressure, it is a medical condition that must be treated. Some will be heard saying “snap out of it or you need to grow up,” or “stop being so selfish” when someone expresses their depression verbally or has a difficult time getting out of bed or eating meals, etc.

Certainly much progress has been made in general attitudes about mental illness but much work remains and there is so much at stake. While I do not agree with stereotypes in general, I do believe that young people can be especially vulnerable emotionally simply because they lack life experience.

For example, as a young person gains perspective through experience, issues like being socially isolated that were so devastating while in high school will soon seem like a minor issue once some life experience is achieved. Soon other perceived catastrophes will also be reduced to a size that is manageable. In this interim, adults can help young people to see this perspective sooner and that is why parents, teachers, coaches, counselors, religious leaders and other youth involved professionals can play such an important role in helping young people to navigate these inexperienced years.

If you or someone you know is considering suicide call 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK where you will be directed to local resources.

Chesterfield dedicates flagpole on anniversary of 9/11

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — A new flagpole now displays the

American flag at the Chesterfield Town Hall.

The pole, which was donated earlier by Woodmen of the World, was dedicated as part of a 9/11 remembrance ceremony held Wednesday, Sept. 11, at the offices in Keeseville.

“Since 2002, we have been dedicating flagpoles ad presenting flags on Sept. 11 not only to remember those who lost their lives on 9/11 but to honor those who continue to serve our country in the military and those who serve in law enforcement and as emergency first responders,” Doris Sullivan of Woodmen of the World No. 1016 of Plattsburgh. “We can think of no better way of honoring them than with the sight of the American flag flying.”

Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said he appreciated the work done by Woodmen to contribute flags to the town as well as the flagpole, the second which had been gifted to the municipality.

“In our most recent hurricane, the flagpole was bro-

ken off and the memorial in front of it was washed down the road by the rushing water,” Morrow said. “When we asked them to help us again, they came back with a more sturdy, one-piece flagpole.”

After the pole was installed, the parties were not able to find an appropriate time to hold a dedication ceremony until now.

“I feel that this was a good day to do it,” Morrow said.

“It is a chance to remember and honor those who lost their lives on Sept. 11.”

“Thousands of people lost their lives in those terrorist attacks, but hundreds of heroes also materialized in the wake of those attacks and we do this to honor them, as well,” Sullivan said. “Freedom is a very precious thing and something that should not be taken lightly.”

Morrow was joined by a member of the New York State Police in raising the flag atop the new flagpole, then lowering it to half staff as part of the national day of remembrance.

Christmas Angel to be unveiled at Willsboro Healing Garden

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — The Children’s Healing Garden in Willsboro will unveil a “Christmas Angel” in a ceremony Saturday, Oct. 5.

The Christmas Angel, marked as the 174th created, will be displayed for the first time dur-

ing a 2 p.m. ceremony at the Healing Garden, located in the Willsboro Memorial Cemetery on Essex Road (Route 22).

“We have raised a ton of money to have her here,” said Teresa Sayward, former New York State Assemblywoman and supporter of the garden. “Everyone is really excited for this day to happen. There have been a lot of people that have put a lot of time into this, especially Laurie

Provost who has worked very hard on this.”

The Children’s Healing Garden was created at the Memorial Cemetery as a spot where those who had lost a child could go to reflect and associate with others that had been through the same experience.

Sayward, who lost her youngest son Kyle in 2006, said she first got involved with tending the garden while a member of the state Assem-

bly and has been able to help out more since retiring from that post.

“When you think of remembering a child you think of a baby, but Kyle was 38 when he passed away,” Sayward said. “Sometimes, it is just about sitting there and chatting with others that can help you get through. The person sitting next to you knows exactly how you feel because they have felt the same way.”

Horses

Continued from page 1 The sheriff’s office became aware of the alleged neglect through a complaint from a concerned citizen. Upon further investigation in conjunction with the Essex County District Attorney’s office and the local magistrate, a search warrant was obtained. The horses were examined by veterinarians and removed from the property.

The animals were found to be in varying conditions, ranging from severe malnutrition to injury and were removed for treatment and recovery.

Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting said he couldn’t go into much detail about the state of the animals at the time of the seizure because the investigation is ongoing.

But, Cutting said this is one of the most severe cases of neglect he has seen in his many years of law

enforcement.

“Obviously, with 40 horses there is a lot of work ahead to bring these horses back to a healthy state once again,” Cutting said.

Most of the horses were brought to the Essex County Fairgrounds where they are being housed in stables blocked off by yellow police tape. On the barn a sign reads, “Impounded animals no unauthorized entry. Horses under strict vet care. Do not feed, handle or approach any horse. By order of Essex County Sheriff.”

Essex Supervisor and co-chair of the county Animal Cruelty Task Force Committee Sharon Boisen refused comment on the case and asked that photographs taken of the malnourished horses at the fairgrounds not be published.

“Essex County, as required by law, accepted the responsibility for providing temporary shelter for the horses which were determined by independent veterinarians to be seriously neglected

and in need of immediate feed and care,” County Manager Dan Palmer said in a press release.

“Our hope is to quickly restore these horses to good health. Any assistance the public can offer would be greatly appreciated.”

Because of the strict dietary needs of the horses, monetary donations for the feed and care of the horses is being requested by the members of the Essex County Animal Cruelty Task Force.

“The clerk at the town of Essex is organizing a list for people who would like to volunteer to help and they are looking for monetary donations and hay,” Cutting said.

To donate, people should contact Tam Mrose of the Animal Cruelty Task Force at 834-7849.

Donation checks can be sent and made payable directly to the Essex County Treasurers Office, P.O. Box 217, Elizabethtown, NY, 12932. Anyone issuing a check is asked to indicate on the memo line of the check — Horse Care.

Dirty Dogs to benefit Champlain Valley K9 rescue group

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — The Champlain Valley Search & Rescue K9 Unit (CVK9) wants people to get muddy for a good cause.

The all-volunteer non-profit search and rescue unit based out of Keeseville assists local agencies with wildland search and rescue for lost children, hikers or hunters, and have been called all around the country following natural disasters for urban search and rescue, as well as cadaver recovery.

“The year we had all the tornados we were called all around the country. We would touch down at home, then get called out again,” said Shannon Bresett, one of the founding members of the group.

The group has been around for several years, but officially became a not-for-profit, and incorporated in 2009. They operate totally on a volunteer basis. They currently have six dogs either in service or in training, and two who have retired.

In this area, Bresett says, the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is the agency first called out for K-9 services, but her unit is often called in soon after.

“The air dogs are the first guys we send out, like when a child has been missing for a half hour or so,” Bresette said. “After that comes the tracking dogs.”

As a last resort the unit calls on Inca, their cadaver dog. Inca often gets the most work

Inca, a German Shepherd with the Champlain Valley Search and Rescue K-9 unit, takes a break during a search in northern New York.

While they operate primarily under mutual aid in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Warren Counties, they are not eligible for the same

grants that fire departments receive, since they are not a tax-based municipality.

“Fund-raising is an integral part of our budget. A majority of our money does come

from fund-raising,” Bresette said.

When they were brainstorming for fundraising ideas, the idea of an adventure challenge race came up, and the inaugural CVK9 Dirty Dog Fun Run was born.

“Adventure races were just coming up, they weren’t a household thing yet,” said Brittany Taylor, fundraising chair for the group said. “It lets people know about what we do, plus it raises some money for a good cause.”

The race will take place at Titus Mountain Family Ski Center on Oct. 19. It’s a 7 kilometer (about 4 and a half mile) race up and down the lower slopes of the mountain, and will traverse 19 obstacles including mud, climbing and endurance obstacles. There will also be events for spectators, plus craft and food vendors, and a live band. All participants receive a race T-shirt, and finishers will receive a special finishers dog tag. Prizes will be awarded for the top three finishers in male, female and teen categories.

The race starts at 1 p.m., with waves of starters going out every 20 minutes until 4 p.m.. Racers can request a time slot, but the slots are given out on a first-come, firstserved basis, and when a slot is full, it is closed.

Currently 250 people have registered. Taylor is hoping to reach 500 adventurous runners by race day. For more information go to www.dirtydogrun.com, or check out their Facebook page at CVK9 Dirty Dog Run.

The win also placed Cross and his team on the front page of The Morning Line, a publication that follows the sport of polo.

“We were quite pleased when we saw that picture on the front page of The Morning Line,” Cross said. “That is a big moment for us.”

Cross was joined by Harrison Wise, Ulysses Escapite and Cuko Escapite to form the victorious team.

Four honored with induction to Westport Wall of Distinction

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Family, friends and members of the Westport Central School community joined together Sept. 14 as the second Wall of Distinction induction ceremony and dinner added four new names.

James Forcier, Brenda Pepper Drummond, Erin Pratt Schroeder and the late Dr. Thomas Tanneberger were named to the wall and were celebrated during the ceremony.

“It’s special,” said Forcier, the second generation CEO of Chazy and Westport Communications. “I do not think that there is anything more gratifying then being recognized by your peers.

I hope to continue to live up to the expectations that come with this honor.”

“It was a surprise and I am honored,” Drummond said. “I really did enjoy that part of my life teaching at Westport. I loved everything about it, tutoring and spending time with the kids. I miss the kids. I just loved it.”

Schroeder, who was unable to attend the ceremony, was a force on the basketball court for the Lady Eagles in the mid 1990s, leading the Eagles to the final four twice in her tenure as the center for the team. She was recruited by Syracuse University, where she played basketball before earning a doctorate in veterinarian medicine from Kansas State University. Together with her husband, Ben, they run three practices and an equine center.

Members of the Tanneberger family were on hand to honor their late brother, Tom. “It’s very exciting for me because he was my best friend,” said Barbara Baldwin, Tanneberger’s sister who accepted the induction. “To accept this plaque in his honor is very touching.”

“The things that have really stuck out in my mind are his zest for life and that is really why we are here today with all of these people that are being honored,” said Tanneberger’s sister, Carol Schwoebel. “What I see now is not as much an honor for Tom as it is about this community and how everyone has been able over the years to come together around him through the tournament events and the scholarships, and that makes me proud.”

“I think that this is a great tribute for Westport and a great honor for the family,” brother Tony Tanneberger said. “It was also very nice that Jim was honored at the same time, a chance for the two buddies to be inducted together.”

The Wall of Distinction committee includes Fred Kapper, Brad Rascoe, Sue Russell, Dwayne Stevens, Scott Gibbs, Forcier, Don LaRock and school Superintendent Dr. John Gallagher.

Donate Life event planned at ECH

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown Community Hospital Auxiliary is offering a “Donate Life” information session on October 2 from 4-6 pm in the hospital boardroom. The presentation is free and open to the public.

Representatives from the Center for Organ Donation and Transplant will offer information about organ donation, its benefits and how to become a donor. They will be able to answer audience questions about organ, eye and tissue donation. Presenters will also be able to explain how community members are able to become more involved by presenting this important information to community groups and individuals.

According to Auxiliary President Laura Sells-Doyle, the hospital auxiliary believes that the topic is an important one that should be supported.

“In recent years, so many of our local residents have been touched by organ donation,” she said.

“This community provides us with a number of wonderful examples of lives saved through this incredibly selfless act. The auxiliary is proud to be able to support this important organization.”

CFES to participate in live PBS broadcast

ESSEX — College For Every Student (CFES) based in Essex is one of 30 national partner organizations that has been selected to participate in the live broadcast of “American Graduate Day 2013,” this Saturday, Sept. 28, from noon to 7 p.m. on public media (check local PBS station listings).

This broadcast is part of a long-term commitment to helping communities tackle the nation’s dropout crisis and preparing students for success with a high school diploma. Through the power and reach of public media, viewers will be invited to take an active role and become an “American Graduate Champion” for local youth by volunteering their time, talent, or other resources.

“CFES is honored to be part of this national initiative,” said CFES President & CEO Rick Dalton.

“American Graduate Day 2013 gives organizations like ours the opportunity to speak to a national audience about the work we do and the students we serve.”

CFES is the only national non-profit organization that works with both urban and rural schools.

Currently, CFES serves 20,000 low-income students (CFES Scholars) in 200 schools across the country.

A recent study by researchers from the University of Michigan found strong evidence that the CFES core practices –Leadership Through Service, Mentoring, and Pathways to College—had a substantial impact on college-going attitudes of underserved students.

“For the last two months, we’ve been working with American Graduate Day Producers to create a video that showcases CFES and how our three core practices-Leadership Through Service, Mentoring, and Pathways to College-has proven effective in getting at-risk students through high school and accessing college,” said Dalton.

Three guests will represent CFES - Angel Acosta will talk about his journey, from troubled innercity kid to Student Body President of SUNY Plattsburgh, and now CFES Program Director; Jeremy Watson, CFES School Liaison, will talk about how CFES operates at Richard R. Green High School of Teaching and the impact the program has had on his students; and Melissa Garcia Velez, Former CFES Scholar, now a Senior at Lehman College in New York City, will talk about the self-confidence she built through CFES and why she’s giving back.

CATS, North Country SPCA to work on creating dog trails

WESTPORT — The North Country SPCA and Champlain Area Trails (CATS) are teaming up to develop dog-walking trails at the new Frances Miller Adoption Center in Elizabethtown. They invite volunteers of all ages to take part in the NCSPCA - CATS trail-making project on Saturday morning, Sept. 28, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“One of the great features about the new shelter is that we have18 acres to walk the dogs,” said David Reuther of the NCSPCA. “We contacted CATS to help determine the routes and how to develop them. After walking around the property with CATS staff and volunteers, we selected eleven trails that the dogs and their walkers will like.”

“This is a new kind of trail for us,” said Chris Maron, executive director of CATS. “Our trails have been for people with the understanding that some will bring their dogs along.

The NCSPCA trails are primarily for walking dogs so we considered what a dog might like to see, smell, and hear along the trail. We also wanted some variety so the dogs would look forward to new experiences.”

The teaming of NCSPCA and CATS enables volunteers from both organizations and the community to work together to clear the trails, remove fallen logs, and cut brush so the dogs and their walkers can enjoy the woods.

“The most challenging project will be to create a trail along a little brook where the land slopes down to the water,” said Reuther. “We’ll have to move some stones so we can build up the trail and make it level. We thank CATS and its trail expert, Bill Amadon, for advice on dealing with this challenge.”

Maron and Reuther emphasized that projects like this reinforce the importance of partnerships to accomplish shared goals.

“We are so pleased that the NCSPCA sought our advice,” added Maron. “They provide a wonderful service to the North Country and we are glad to help.”

“We also invite all volunteers to tour the new, state-of-the art animal shelter,” Reuther said. “This beautiful facility was designed by the award-winning architects who invented the modern shelter. Our building is the prototype for small animal shelters around the country.”

The NCSPCA - CATS Trail Project begins at 8:30 a.m. and will last until about 12:30 p.m.

Volunteers should meet at the new shelter located at 7700 Rt 9N, between the Northway and Elizabethtown. Please bring gloves, loppers, hand saws, and shovels. CATS will also provide tools. For more details, call 962-2287 or email champlaintrails@gmail.com.

keith@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE — Three of the four newest inductees to the AuSable Valley Hall of Fame took their place at the 50-yard line Sept. 20 in Clintonville.

Tim Snow, Keith Brelia and members of the 1979-80 AVCS boys varsity basketball team were on hand at the celebration of their inductions as the Patriots hosted Peru under the Friday night lights. Former gridiron star Kelly Gordon, who was also inducted, was unable to attend.

For Snow, who played for Au Sable Forks High School, the honor was extra special, as he joined sons Marty and Theron in the hall.

“I am really honored and with my sons being members of this with me. You can’t ask for anything more,” said Snow, who was decked out in his maroon and white sweatshirt with the number 9 to represent his career at AFHS. “My 1956 team was probably one of the best basketball teams I have ever been a part of and one of the best AuSable has ever had.”

Snow also had a message for the ’79-’80 team.

“If I go out and get my team together, I think that we can give them a run,” he said.

For the coach of the 1979-80 team, it was another chance to see his team together and have a chance to remember their Section VII championship run.

“It just shows that they all gave for each other and were a very unselfish group,” John Konowitz said about the team he coached. “They believed in each other, and they still do. You watch them together now, and it seems like they were just here in school yesterday.”

One of the members of that 1979-80 basketball team was Brelia, who also starred on the track for the Patriots.

“What an honor and a privilege to be inducted into this fine establishment after all these 30-plus years,” Brelia said. “Just to have the chance to be a part of this and to walk with all of these guys and share this with them is especially significant.”

Along with the halftime celebration to honor the Hall of Fame Class of 2013, the inductees were also honored at a dinner and ceremony Sept. 21.

Patriots fall to Indians, prep for Saranac Lake short-handed

CLINTONVILLE — The AuSable Valley varsity football team wanted to avoid injuries and cut down on penalties in their Sept. 20 meeting with the Peru Indians.

While they were able to come away relatively pain free, it was one penalty during the Indians’ 47-7 victory that will change the game plan heading into their Class C matchup with Saranac Lake scheduled for this Saturday, Sept. 28.

During the Indians’ second drive, Peru’s Jozua Cote and AuSable’s Dillon Savage were flagged with personal fouls and ejected from the game, making them ineligible for their next games against Beekmantown and Saranac Lake, respectively.

“It was the key penalty in the game, and we are going to try and appeal it,” head coach Heith Ford said after the game. “It took awhile for us to recover after that happened, but we were able to change gears a little in the second half.”

Without its leading rusher, the Patriots turned to senior quarterback John Goodnough, who opened the game with interceptions on the Patriots’ first two series but then settled down to finish 12-of-27 for 163 yards and three picks.

Goodnough also ran the ball 16 times for 48

yards, including his team’s lone score.

“John stepped up in a big way and became a leader tonight on the field and in that locker room,” Ford said. “He had a bad toe and he played through it and had a good second half when he showed some accuracy with his passes and the ability to target open players.”

Tyler Champine caught four passes for 46 yards while Sultan Sikandar caught three for 38 yards, Chasm Perkett two for 26 yards, Connor Kennedy two for 23 yards and Lucas Perez one for 23 yards. Kennedy also carried the ball four times for five yards, while Savage had a pair of carries for as many yards in two series before the ejection.

Kyle Coolidge continued to help lead the Patriots’ defensive unit, both recovering and forcing a fumble, the latter being recovered by Gavin Friedrich.

“Kyle stepped up for us and did a great job at the middle linebacker position,” Ford said.

So far, the Patriots have recovered six fumbles in three games, scoring on two. They have also recorded a safety.

The Patriots now prepare for their lone Class C game of the regular season, traveling to Saranac Lake to face the Red Storm.

“We will change some things around and maybe add a twist or two that Saranac Lake has not seen yet,” Ford said.

I remember when the snow was this deep?

I

n recent years, the arrival of the annual big game hunting season has featured conditions more in keeping with summer’s heat, than autumn’s cool breeze.

For the past few seasons, I’ve been decked out in cotton camo more often than woolies and long johns for the opening day.

Fortunately, it appears the local weather patterns may have attempted a return to normal this year.

Already, the region has experienced some hard frosts, and there’s snow cover capping the High Peaks.

Snow in September, and the peak of fall foliage arriving before the Columbus Day weekend. What’s going on here?

Maybe it is just nature’s way of letting us know who is ultimately in control of the earth’s climate.

Scientists may like to believe mankind has been responsible for all the sweeping climate changes we’ve experienced in recent years, with global warming, the massive glacial retreats and ever shrinking ice caps.

Yet, when viewed through the lens of time in a truly geologic sense, the burgeoning global warming we’ve experienced in recent decades is likely not much more than a blip on the world’s historic weather radar.

Humans tend to view the progress and processes of the natural world in a truly irrational and egocentric sense. We prefer our time to be measured by the generation, rather than by the epoch.

The human lifespan is far too brief to be truly defining, except for a spell in the mid 1980’s when disco arrived, and country music was nearly compromised.

There is no doubt global climate change is for real, at least for those of us who have managed to survive through several generations, like the 50’s, 60’s or 70’s!

People have asked if I believe the weather will ever return to normal.

My response has always been less ponderous and more a matter of fact.

Weather changes.

When I was a kid, I’d swear the snow banks on my side of the street were the size of Mt. Marcy. It began snowing in September and didn’t

quit until April, or sometimes May. And I remember praying for a snow day in June, just before a big spelling exam.

I also seem to recall the fish I caught were always bigger, the lapse between my birthdays was always longer, and Santa actually believed I had been a very good boy, once.

Fortunately for me, video cameras and instant replay didn’t roll around until another generation had passed.

In retrospect, it’s difficult to deny the existence of the numerous on the ground effects of climate change.

All it takes to convince me is a short visit to any of the local rivers or streams.

I’ve been paddling and fishing these homegrown rivers for over half a century, and in all those years, I’ve never witnessed destruction on such a grand scale as we’ve experienced in the past decade.

I never believed it could’ve been any worse.

However, after reading testimony of the horrible floods that wracked the Ausable Valley back in the mid 1800’s, I discover how much worse it had been.

Hurricane Irene may have slashed and crashed through the Ausable Valley in 2011, but the Great Floods of the Ausable in the 1850’s triggered by historic rains and the collapse of the dam on the Lower Ausable Lake, swept away every bridge, mill and dam on the entire river, from Keene Valley to Lake Champlain.

But who knows, maybe they just didn’t build their bridges, dams or mills worth a damn.

It would be interesting to know what nature has yet in store. Maybe in 2113, while studying the Great Adirondack Floods of 2011, a researcher will uncover a story about how the Adirondack region actually used to have snow and ice in January and February.

On the Hunt

Although the opening day of the regular big game hunting season is still a month away, hunters have been in the woods since Sept. 14 when the early bear season began.

September 20 marks the opening day for Ruffed Grouse, and pheasant season begins on Oct. 1.

On Sept. 27, the number of hunters will swell as the early archery season for whitetails begins. September 28 will be a good day to be in field or on the water in celebration of National Hunting and Fishing Day. For some odd reason, the date is still not recognized as a national holiday, despite the many contributions hunters and anglers have provided to preserve our sporting heritage and enhance the opportunities for citizens to get outside.

Go Team Go! Catch that Bass!

The headline caught my eye immediately. It read, “New Hampshire High School Bass Tournament.”

Increasingly, schools across the nation have begun hosting Varsity

level Bass Tournaments. In fact, the National High School Bass Fishing Tournament regularly draws more than 1,500 high school bass teams to compete.

In early September, as most New Hampshire high school student athletes took to the gridiron or the soccer field to test their athletic prowess, there was a small group of non-traditional high school athletes competing on the nearby lakes.

But instead of passing a football or kicking a soccer ball, they were casting a Pig’n Jig or drop-shotting a Senko worm.

This new breed of athlete doesn’t need to be the fastest runner, and they may not be able to jump higher or throw faster than other athletes.

But they do know how to catch bass, and fast.

In all there will be 54 teams registered teams from 39 New Hampshire schools competing in the upcoming New Hampshire High School Bass Tournament on Lake Winnisquam on Oct. 5.

There will be no cheerleaders or marching bands at the competition, only leader boards and rubber bands. The only tackle to be found will be in their boxes.

The New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) will conduct the event, with assistance from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and the New Hampshire B.A.S.S. Nation.

With small town athletes lining the shores of Lake Champlain from Rouses Point to Whitehall, I have to wonder why there still isn’t a single High School Bass Fishing Team on either side of the Big Lake. It is especially troubling since Lake Champlain regularly ranks as one of the best bass lakes in the country, and regularly hosts some of the top bass tournaments in the country Maybe it’s time for our local school boards to take a serious look at the “leader board” when the next ProBass Tournament comes to town.

Nearly every college in the Pac Ten Football Conference supports a Collegiate Bass Fishing Team, and there are thousands of dollars in scholarships available for bass fishing athletes. And if not for the educational opportunities, then for the benefit and protection of the precious natural resource itself.

If local youth do not have the means or the knowledge to utilize and enjoy their local natural resources, they will not learn to value them. And if the resources do not hold any value, they will be less likely to be cherished and protected.

It is an easy path to follow, especially if you’re chasing a host of other boats.

Hog Harvest seminar Lake Champlain Yoga Dine out can benefit set at Ward Lumber to host open house local organic farmers JAY — Ward Lumber is hosting a Hog Harvest Seminar for anyone who is interested in learning to harvest their own swine.

The seminar is being held on Saturday, Oct. 5, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Ward Lumber in Jay. This seminar will demonstrate to the small farm a home-style hog slaughter and dressing. Topics include: preparation, equipment and set up, shot and stick, hang and bleed, skin and gut, splitting the halves, halving the pig and readying the carcass to cool, primal cuts and finish products, wrap for freezer, recipes, using the whole pig, trouble shooting.

The presenter is Courtney Grimes-Sutton, who is a young farmer and a butcher who can help you approach the feat of getting a hog into your freezer. Courtney got into farming by growing and marketing vegetables with friends in the Hudson Valley for a few years in her early twenties.

She apprenticed with a blacksmith, went to industrial welding school, and moved north to Essex Farm to test the waters of farming with draft horses. She was the butcher at Essex Farm for three and a half years, and has moved on to her own family farm in Keeseville with her partner, Asa Thomas-Train, and friends & family.

The cost is $45 per person, and just $25 for students. Lunch is included. Class is size is limited to be sure each attendee has ample opportunity to observe, ask questions and learn. Registration is limited to residents of Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. Priority will be given to Ward Lumber feed customers and prospective feed customers. One person per farm is preferred and added attendees from the same farm will be given consideration if space allows. Pre-registration is required. For additional information on this seminar and to register, go to WardLumber.com, email info@WardLumber.com or call Kim Coolidge at 946-2110 x120.

ESSEX — A new yoga and wellness center is opening on Oct. 1 in Essex. Lake Champlain Yoga & Wellness (LCY&W) will open on Main Street at the former Live Well location. It will be a local haven offering Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Acupuncture, Massage, and Organic Facials.

“After two wonderful years as Live Well, we thank the entire community for their support as we now rename and expand into Lake Champlain Yoga & Wellness,” said Michelle Maron, who began Lake Champlain Yoga Arts five years ago.

“Our wellness mentors include Cache Hartzell, Will Hartzell, Robin Gucker and a host of other qualified wellness professionals.”

On Saturday, Oct. 5, from 6 to 8 p.m., there will be a Grand Opening to celebrate, showcase new changes to the space, introduce the practitioners, and present the new Weekly Yoga schedule and programs like Kids’ Yoga. Everyone is welcome to attend.

“Lake Champlain Yoga & Wellness is a tremendous asset to our community,” Essex town supervisor Sharon Boisen said. “For residents and visitors to have this access to such talented professionals assisting to improve their health and wellness is extraordinary. It is important that we have many businesses and professionals serving everyone’s health care needs year round. And it is especially nice in the winter when we see so many people in town for the fabulous Weekly Yoga Classes and other offerings.”

WILLSBORO — On the last weekend in September, Willsboro’s Turtle Island Cafe and Lake Placid’s Green Goddess Natural Market are supporting local, organic food and farming by donating a percentage of their evening revenue to the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York (NOFA-NY).

Currently, 14 restaurants around the state have signed on to donate a portion of their proceeds to NOFA-NY. The fundraising event is part of the NOFA-NY Locavore Challenge The Harvest Dinner at Turtle Island Café will take place Sunday, Sept. 29, from 5 to 9 p.m.

Co-owners David Martin and Mimi Lane say that they make every effort to source their meals from local farmers who practice sustainable methods in growing their produce, meats, and dairy. As a high honors graduate from the Culinary Institute of America, Chef Martin’s philosophy is based on the concept of eco-gastronomy, recognizing the connections between the planet and what we eat.

Martin and Lane believe that only the freshest ingredients should be used in his meals, like those vegetables provided by Fledging Crow Farm in Keeseville. Since 2008, Ian Ater and Lucas Christenson have operated Fledging Crow Farm as Certified Naturally Grown.

“Local consumption has made us who we are today,” Christenson said. “We have followed the chefs, the community, the challenge, and have tried to make local food more available and affordable for others to do business.”

Turtle Island also receives produce from Westport’s Juniper Hill Farm and cheese from both Clover Mead Farm and Asgaard Dairy.
