Honor Flight going ahead as planned Government shutdown won’t stop WWII veterans

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com

Five members of the Adirondack Aktion Club (in bright T-shirts) recently presented a check to members of Dewey Mountain Friends and the Harrietstown Town Board at Dewey Mountain Recreation Center in Saranac Lake. The Aktion Club, part of Kiwanis International, staged community dances to raise funds toward the effort to replace the dilapidated base lodge behind them. Several members of the club also train at Dewey Mountain for Special Olympics snowshoe races. Dewey Mountain is a year-round, in-town recreation center owned by the Town of Harrietstown.

The donation will help match a grant the Saranac Lake Rotary Foundation is seeking via the North Country Economic Development Council in hopes of breaking ground in spring 2014. For more information please see DeweyMountain.com or call 891–1080.

KEESEVILLE Ñ SaturdayÕ s scheduled Honor Flight will be going on as scheduled, despite the ongoing government shut down.

Honor Flights fly veterans from all around the country to Washington D.C., in order for them to see the recently unveiled World War II monument.

When the government instituted a partial shut-down last week, the open-air monument was ringed with barricades and CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

National Guard Chaplain Eric Olsen retires LATHAM Ñ After three decades of Army service, New York Army National Guard Chaplain (Col.) Eric Olsen, a Saranac Lake resident and the New York National GuardÕ s top military chaplain since 2008, is ending his military career.

An Iraq veteran, and an advocate for troops and their families, Olsen retired from the Army National Guard on Sept. 30.

HeÕ s leaving with no regrets -- just gratitude for the Soldiers with whom heÕ s shared, Ò thousands and thousands of sacred moments,Ó Olsen said. Ò IÕ m sure IÕ ll miss the great men and women IÕ ve had the chance to work with,Ó Olsen reflected. “I’ve been taught so

much by good men and women.

You can’t buy that knowledge.

I’ve been blessed.”

A native of Staten Island, Olsen felt the call to ministry when he was attending Wagner College, and the call to Army chaplaincy when he was attending the Lutheran Theological Seminary of Philadelphia. He joined the Pennsylvania Army National Guard as a chaplain candidate in 1983.

He was ordained by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in 1988, and became the minister at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Saranac Lake.

He became an active-duty Army chaplain in 1992, and served with units such as the 1st Infantry Di-

vision, 3rd Infantry Division and 10th Mountain Division in places like South Carolina, Germany, Egypt and Fort Drum.

He joined the New York Army National Guard in 1999, served extensively in New York City following the 9-11 attacks, and volunteered to deploy to Iraq with the 1st Battalion, 108th Infantry in 2003. He survived an IED attack, and was awarded the Combat Action Badge.

One of those sacred moments Olsen speaks of occurred in Iraq, when an officer knocked on the door of his quarters around two in the morning, seeking comfort.

The officer had survived two IED attacks in one day, Olsen recalled.

closed to the public. That was until an Honor Flight from the Gulf Coast/Mississippi Chapter pushed aside the barricades, and staked a claim to their own monument. Their actions were captured on video, which immediately went viral.

The monument has thusfar stayed open to the Honor Flights, but representatives of North Country Honor Flight are still wary. Ò The Park Service had the common sense to leave them alone, but maybe when the media loses interest, the barricades will go back up,” said Daniel Kaifetz, Director of North Country Honor Flight.

He explained that the government is letting Honor Flights in one bus at a time, under what they are calling a freedom of speech exemption. They could cancel that exemption however, by enforcing a requirement that gatherings over a certain size require a permit.

With several honor flights already behind them, Kaifetz discussed how moving an experience it has been for the veterans who are able to go. Of the 16.5 million people who served in the armed forces during WWII, only 1 million veterans are still alive.

“I tell them you carry 15 of your war buddies with you.

LAKE PLACID Ñ Eleven organizations and four aspiring athletes from the Lake Placid region were awarded a combined total of $41,500 in grants from the Uihlein-Ironman Sports Fund at an awards ceremony at Heaven Hill Farm on Sunday, Sept. 29.

The Uihlein-Ironman Sports Fund of Lake Placid makes awards to local athletes competing at the regional, national, and international levels. Grants are also awarded to nonprofit organizations that promote participation in life-long summer and winter sports for local kids, promoting a healthy lifestyle and athletic excellence.

The fund was established at ACT in 2004 by the Henry Uihlein II and Mildred A. Uihlein Foundation and World Triathlon Corporation (formerly North America Sports Inc.). Awards are recommended annually by a committee of local residents and representatives from the sponsoring organizations.

With the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi on the horizon, the committee opted to award larger grants to four local Olympic hopefuls: Annelies Cook, biathlon; Jamie Greubel, bobsled; Peter Frenette, ski jumping; and Esther

Munoz, speed-skating. The funds will be used to pay for training expenses as these athletes compete for the right to represent their country at the Olympics.

“Ironman is proud to be involved with the support of aspiring local Olympians as they prepare to compete at Sochi 2014,Ó said Jeff Edwards, vice president of North American Operations at World Triathlon Corporation. Ò Every four years, we devote a greater proportion of the annual Uihlein-Ironman Sports Fund grant money to these athletes as they embark upon their quest for international success. We look forward to tracking their progress this winter. Ironman is also excited to continue its support of the grassroots programs that nurture participation in youth sports as well as develop Olympians of the future.Ó The New York Ski Education Foundation was awarded a grant which will be used by coaches in the Nordic, alpine and Nordic combined programs to support aspiring athletes.

Ten other local organizations received grants, including: •Lake Placid Youth Athletic Association for hockey rink upgrades

•Friends of Mt. Pisgah for the youth ski program •Dewey Mountain Friends for youth ski equipment •Saranac Lake Nordic Ski Club for travel, equipment and training expenses •YENGA (Saranac Lake Middle School) for the Learn to Ski program •Petrova Elementary School for the Swim for Life and snowshoe programs •Lake Placid Outing Club for equipment for water programs •Town of Jay for Grove Park Wilderness Play Area •Saranac Lake Pee Wee Hockey Association for safety equipment •Tri-Lakes Youth Lacrosse for the beginner lacrosse program Ò We are thrilled to provide support to these athletes as they strive to achieve their Olympic goals,Ó said Cali Brooks, ACTÕ s executive director. Ò WeÕ re also proud to support these local nonprofits: They play a critical role in fostering a love of physical activity and the outdoors among Olympic region youngsters.Ó For more information or to make a donation to the UihleinIronman Sports Fund at ACT, call 523-9904 or visit generousact.org.

TheyÕ re seeing it through your eyes, the 15 million who couldn’t go,Ó said Kaifetz.

The feeling of closure that most of the Honor Flight participants are experiencing is profound, said Kaifetz. He has seen veterans talk about the war for the first time in nearly 70 years. Ò ItÕ s a life changing experience for so many people,Ó he said.

North Country Honor Flights has put together a yearbook of their first several flights which

will be sold locally to raise money for future flights. They are currently looking for local businesses who would like to buy advertising in the book. Interested businesses can contact Kaifetz at 834-9901.

SaturdayÕ s Honor Flight will be leaving from the old base oval at 6:45 a.m.

Fifteen North Country WW-II veterans will be on board, including two from Vermont for the first time. Among the heroes on the flight are a Brigadier Gen-

eral, two D-Day veterans, and a Silver Star recipient from 101st Airborne Division.

The public is encouraged to attend the Flag Ceremony at the Old Base Parade Grounds, U.S. Oval, at 7 a.m. sharp, followed by the Sendoff Ceremony at Plattsburgh International Airport at 7:45 a.m. prior to the flight. This is the last flight of the year for North Country Honor Flight. Next spring flights will resume on May 17, 2014.

Olsen also plans to spend more time with his wife and his sons, Garth and Evan. This is the, Ò perfect time to retire,Ó he said. Ò I think if I donÕ t go now, IÕ ll miss opportunities with my kids,Ó Olsen said. Ò I think IÕ m just ready.Ó

Ò He was scared to death,Ó Olsen recalled. Ò Together we walked him through that and brought him out the other side.

We found his sense of peace and belonging.Ó Helping others deal death is part of a chaplain’s job, and he performed that duty many times in his career, Olsen said.

Four battalion Soldiers were killed in action during the deployment, and death in the field is different, he stressed. Ò If someone dies here, we can grieve,Ó he said. Ò If someone dies there, we have to roll right back into the mission.” Though grief is a necessary process, it can go on forever, he stressed.

After serving as the 42nd Infantry Division chaplain, Olsen became chaplain of the New York Army National Guard in 2008 Ð holding that position as a full-time officer. The global war on terror and the SoldiersÕ needs created a need for a fulltime chaplain, Olsen explained. Ò Moving from a strategic force to an operational force has put a strain on our Soldiers and their families,Ó Olsen said.

Olsen helped establish the New York Army National Guard’s Yellow Ribbon Reintegration program, which helps service members and their families readjust after a deployment.

OlsenÕ s awards include the Meritorious Service Medal, the Bronze Star, the Iraq Campaign Medal, and the Global War on Terrorism Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Combat Action Badge,

Valley News Editorial

Viewpoint

Government watchdogs non-existent

Shutdown not why we sent them to Washington

n 1835 Alexis de Tocqueville warned of the possibility of a democratic nation sliding subtly, almost imperceptibly into a state of dictatorship.

“The first thing that strikes the observation is an innumerable multitude of men, all equal and alike, incessantly endeavoring to procure the petty and paltry pleasures with which they glut their lives,” he wrote. “...he exists but in himself and for himself, and if his kindred still remain to him, he may be said at any rate to have lost his country.”

We live in a world where our democracy is under attack, and the attackers are the very men and women we continue to elect to protect our rights. It used to be the place of the news media to keep the government in check, but they have largely abdicated that role, and our freedoms are suffering for it.

With recent revelations about successive presidential administrations using the Patriot Act to spy on our day to day phone records, social media usage, even the books we check out of the library, only the slightest murmurs of protest have been heard. The Patriot Act has been re-authorized, and even strengthened, numerous times by politicians of both political stripes.

When legitimate opposition groups have come to the fore, the government has employed the IRS to make the going as difficult for them as possible.

The revelations about our government’s efforts to spy on its own people have come primarily from two people. The first, Bradley Manning, now sits in a military prison where he is serving a 35 year sentence, and the other, Edward Snowden, is in exile in Russia, likely for the rest of his life.

Senators have publicly called for the death penalty for Snowden if he is ever tried here. Neither used an American media outlet to air their information.

The response from the American press? They have been dutifully silent, content to report on the latest petty and paltry pleasures de Tocqueville warned about.

Neither of these men will be confused with John Jay or Alexander Hamilton, but for the current day and age, any voice in the wilderness will do.

From the time of the Federalist Papers, right up to the era of Watergate, the media understood and accepted its role as watchdog, digging to uncover wrongdoing by politicians from either of the ruling parties. It’s now become a lapdog, happy for the occasional morsel that might fall from the table of the ruling elite. Cutting edge journalism has become who gets the newest Anthony Wiener pic out first.

Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels saw the importance of a complicit media when he wrote: “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which government can play.”

While we have all been collectively distracted by the minutia of our own lives, our government has quietly but decisively learned to play the media like Goebbels’ great keyboard. Even the “opposition media” of AM talk radio serves as little more than a launching pad for the books, CDs, t-shirts and even iced tea hawked by the carnival barkers who pass for the voice of the opposition in this country.

Even on the local level, government controls access to the media with an iron grip. State workers fear for their jobs if they speak to the media. Even the state’s public information specialists cannot answer freely, instead insisting questions be submitted in advance, so answers can be vetted by elected officials, when answered at all. The top DOT official in Essex County recently claimed he was targeted by the state for speaking to the media, and was forced to retire.

Many saw the internet and social media as the last great bastion for democratic thought and political dissent. While that certainly exists to some extent, with the recent revelations of government spying, how long could a political dissident survive online before coming onto the government’s radar screen?

A meaningful national shield law would be the first step to righting this listing ship, if it hasn’t in fact already capsized. There is currently a bill before the shuttered government called the Free Flow of Information Act which, if passed, would be a baby step in the direction of journalistic freedom.

Even if this law is passed, without an aggressive and inquisitive national media, the law would be all but irrelevant. National journalists currently have nothing they need to shield themselves from, except possibly the most recent Anthony Wiener pic. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Thanks for help

To the Valley News: This letter is to publicly thank all the wonderful volunteers, coaches, athletes, fans, families, and friends that helped make our youth soccer tournament such a success. We cannot begin to express enough gratitude to everyone who has participated in one fashion or another.

First and foremost, our appreciation goes out to our PreK-6 grade athletes, who have shown outstanding sportsmanship, leadership, athleticism, and motivation to succeed and learn about the game of soccer. Thank you to our coaches (and any parents who have assisted our coaches): James Leibeck grades 5/6, Greg Cassavaugh grades 3/4, Jessica Bridge and Erica Blanchard grades 1/2, and Jennifer Leibeck grades PreK-K.

Response to matinees

To the Valley News: I am responding to Mona WhiteÕ s letter in which she wants to know why the Champlain Valley Film Society doesnÕ t have matinee shows for folks who do not like driving at night. There is a simple answer: The Film Society has to pay a licensing fee for each movie. Unfortunately, if we show a movie twice, we have to pay a double fee. This fee is at least $250 per show. If we showed each film twice, we’d need 100 people paying $5 each to break even. Experience shows that this is an unrealistic expectation.

As board members of the Film Society, we are always looking for ways to better

Dan Alexander serve our loyal viewers. I fully empathize with Mona’s dilemma about driving at night and I hope that her expressed need will encourage our viewers who do not mind driving at night to offer a ride to persons who might want to car pool. With some creative networking, hopefully, everyone who has a desire will have a way to get to our movies.

The Film Society is a non-profit organization and we barely break even on the one movie that we show. We wish we could show our films more than once, but our finances simply do not allow this. We appreciate the kind things that Mona said about our shows, and we are always open to suggestions that our viewers have for the Film Society.

Sue Reaser President, CVFS

Give to campaign

To the Valley News: The United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. is dedicated to helping people in our community by focusing on Education, Income and Health. As our 2014 Campaign begins we want to first thank you for your previous support. It is only through your generous contributions that the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. has been able to accomplish its goals. Together, we can make a difference in our community. When you bring together the strength of our entire community, it is amazing what can be done!

These are real needs, people who need help every day. You can help Ð creating real change. Together we can inspire hope and opportunities for a better tomorrow.

When a volunteer makes a call at your business remember that Together we can make a difference. Give to the United Way campaign and discover what it means to be part of lasting change. That is what it means to Live United.

blame both parties. Those numbers alone prove how successful the politicians have been at dividing the country. With no majority opinion they are free to play their games.

Adding to the problem is a national media more concerned about their bottom lines than investigative reporting. For every strong right wing argument someone on the left has a counter argument they see as more realistic. Conversely for every left wing argument someone on the right has a counter argument they see as more realistic. Neither side is accountable to the American public as a whole and the national media are serving as enablers for a government without a true non partisan watchdog. Without an accurate independent gauge, the public gravitates to the information that affirms their beliefs right or left. That only Results in greater animosity and doubt in the motives of both sides and making the divide between the two parties even greater with every passing day.

Somehow, someway we need to return to our true core values. Earlier last week there was a news story regarding a soccer event. When the national anthem was to be sung the public address system went out.

In unison over 15,000 spectators began singing the national anthem. Instinctively people knew what to do and how they felt about the country.

Liberals and conservatives both love this country but instead of working to solve the minor differences we have weÕ ve allowed the media and the politicians to pit us against each other. That simple fact underscores everything about this shutdown.

When it comes to issues and politics we’ve lost the instinctive ability to recognize fact from fiction, to see the difference between those helping themselves at our expense and those genuinely sincere about serving their country. Day by day we are losing our way in the wilderness and neither side has put forth a leader that the country as a whole can have true faith in and get behind.

ItÕ s a sad commentary for a once proud nation, now lost in its own successes and careening further off course with every passing day.

Notice:CandidateEndorsements

As we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements.

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 — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75. A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

Winter Carnival seeks volunteers ‘Northern Borders’ opens new CVFS season

SARANAC LAKE — Members of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Committee are looking for more volunteers to help them plan and facilitate the next 10-day festival, set for Jan. 31 to Feb. 9.

In the meantime, the Committee’s website team is busy coordinating the redesign of the Winter Carnival website: www.saranaclakewintercarnival.com. In late September, Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Committee Chairman Eric Foster signed a contract with Adworkshop in Lake Placid to complete the redesign. The new website will include online registration forms for events, a photo gallery, a media center, and many more features. It will be a responsive and adaptive design so it can be viewed easily on multiple devices and screen sizes.

“We are very excited to be able to provide the community with a new, easy-to-follow website where they can get the latest updates, event details, and background information on Winter Carnival – all on their computer, tablet, or

smartphone,Ó Foster said.

In the meantime, the Winter Carnival Committee is seeking new volunteers to help with the 2014 event. There are plenty of areas people can help, and volunteers are encouraged to stop by the next Committee meeting, to be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15 in the large group instruction room of the Saranac Lake High School.

“Winter Carnival is only possible through the help of volunteers,Ó Foster said. Ò We welcome new people to join the existing Committee members so we can continue to improve this long-standing community event.Ó Volunteering on the Winter Carnival Committee is a fun way to give back to the community, and it is a popular way to meet people from around the community. The need is greater this year as some volunteers have moved on or moved away, and there are responsibilities that are currently open.

Chasing square tails

I

spent last weekend chasing tails, square tails to be exact. With the end of trout season looming on the near horizon, I wanted to take a few slab sided brookies home to put on the smoker.

As luck would have it, an old friend agreed to join in the fun, and we set off early in the morning darkness.

We had kicked off this yearÕ s trout season on the very same pond, and it treated us quite well. We probably would’ve landed quite a few more fish, if a certain member of the party of two had remembered to bring a net.

There would be no such equipment errors this time around.

Net? check. Sinking fly lines and freshly tied custom flies? Check.

Other flies, lies, lures and a few believable excuses just in case?

Check!

We began the long walk in the morning’s darkness, as the cool air and a flowing stream of adrenaline combined to aid our pace.

We weren’t trying to run, but the urgency of our mission was palpable even though neither of us was willing to voice the thought.

We’ve been on the trail together for over a quarter of a century, words werenÕ t necessary. We knew what to do.

The headlight beams illuminated the steam of our breathe, in the chill morning air, as we crunched along the leaf-padded track.

For John, this was to be his last hurrah chasing Adirondack brookies, and he approached it like a man on a mission.

His skill had been thoroughly tested earlier in the season, on the same pond we were now returning to.

I knew without even having to ask, what was on his mind. He had lost a true trophy back in May, and he was vengeful, but in a good way.

Despite the fact he regularly gets to play with big bruiser browns on the Delaware, where a day in the drift boat holds the promise of 10 or 12 trophy-sized fish a day; John has a true Adirondack addiction and he canÕ t seem to shake it.

Over the years we’ve fished together on ponds both large and small. We’ve hiked to, biked over, paddled down, flown-in and rafted through some very interesting and productive waters.

Fortunately, we’ve also managed to catch some really nice fish.

Yet, despite the productiveness of them all, there remains just one pond in particular that has managed to cast a spell over us both.

We’d been to the altar before, and we just had to return to show our respect.

When we last fished the pond, back in May of this year, I managed to land a fine, fat specimen of a speckle, with just my bare

www.valleynewsadk.com

hand. Of course, I was responsible for forgetting the net.

Other anglers who witnessed our nonsense on the pond that day, were quick to offer a net when John later hooked up with another bruiser.

Three boatloads of spectators assembled to cheer him on, as the fish repeatedly stripped out his line in a series of deep dives and startling runs.

Finally, he managed to bring the big brookie to the side of the boat, and it appeared to be spent.

I urged him to bring it my way, so I could scoop it up; but he would have nothing to do with it. Ò You landed yours, now let me do it myself,Ó he scolded. Ò Get your hand under it,Ó I had coached him then, Ò And try to flop it in the boat.”

John did as he was told, and soon the big brookie was atop a pack in the middle of our canoe, and his line went limp.

He fumbled with the the rod, as he lurched toward the trout.

But it came to life, and with one powerful flap of its wide square tail, the trout launched into the air and into the water.

It was a slow-motion piscatorial performance. As I watched the speckled monster slowly return to the depths of the pondÕ s clear water, I knew JohnÕ s heart was sinking even deeper.

After having experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in less than five minutes of fishing, we decided to pack it in and pack ourselves out. We replayed the incident over and over during our return. There were plenty of I couldÕ veÕ s, and you should’ve’s, but the big trout was back in the water, and we were on the way home.

I avoided any talk of the incident during our recent return.

We walked in quietly, and didn’t say much beyond the necessary “you grab that” or “I’ll handle this.”

The canoe slid silently into the water, and after we reached the end of the last carry, we were both equally silent. We went about the business of tying on flies and lures as the morning mist began to lift from the still waters.

No directions were necessary. We slid the canoe into the water and stepped off. If the fish were there, they’d be back in the bay, at the far end of the pond, which was still secured by the thick morning fog.

We paddled strong but silently, and the canoe lurched forward with each stroke. In no time, we were there, drifting into the strike zone, waiting and wondering.

“Do you think we’re too late?” I mumbled under my breath.

But before he could even respond, the answer came loud an clear.

There was a splash in the distance, and just as the sun began to peak though the trees, there came another.

Soon, there were more, muted somewhat by the sound of a fly line rifling through the still air.

Then it came, the sweet steady zzzzzz-zzzziitt of fly line pealing off the reel.

The seriousness of our business was over in an instant, as a big brookie was brought alongside the canoe and gently slipped into the net.

Quiet returned to the scene momentarily, and then the slaps continued. We were surrounded and we cast to all points of the compass.

Three, four, five fish came to the canoe in rapid succession, and

the sun wasnÕ t yet over the tree line.

Amid much laughter, and the usual good hearted ribbing, John managed to land both the largest and the most trout of the day.

There was no longer any pressure to achieve, it was like a scene from a summer past, that continued to stoke dreams that such days will always last.

Twenty seven years have passed since John and I first set off on the Boquet River with a similar mission in mind.

We did it then and weÕ ve done it again. Now that itÕ s over, thereÕ s only one thing left to do, and thatÕ s to get ready for next year. Here we go again!

L. Post Rustics earns Adirondack Museum awards

Adirondack Museum Executive Director David M. Kahn, left presented the 2013 Makers’ Choice Award to L. Post Rustics during the 26th Annual Rustic Furniture Fair at the museum on Saturday, Sept. 14. L. Post Rustics is a family business located in Au Sable Forks . With Kahn are, from left, Ryan Post, Larry Post, Jillian Post and Joann Post.

Photo provided

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — More than 50 rustic makers, artisans, and artists shared their creations at the museum’s annual celebration of the rustic aesthetic, an American form that springs from deep roots in the Adirondack region.

As has become tradition, two awards were bestowed during the event: a Makers’ Choice Award, given by the makers themselves to one of their peers for outstanding work, and a PeopleÕ s Choice Award, selected in a vote by museum visitors.

What was unusualÑ and noteworthyÑ during the 2013 Rustic Furniture Fair was that both awards this year were won by the same artisans: L. Post Rustics of Au Sable Forks.

The family business comprises father Larry Post, mother Joann Post, son Ryan Post, and daughter Jillian Post, and they continue generations of traditions inherited from forebears in the Champlain Valley and Adirondack Mountains.

Larry has worked in cabinetmaking for more than 30 years, and Joann is a fine artist who makes oil paintings and designs bark and twig elements for the familyÕ s furniture creations. Ryan designs and builds, and Jillian is a fulltime wood carver.

This was the fifth year L. Post Rustics has been invited to display their work at the museumÕ s Rustic Furniture Fair, and they previously have won the MakersÕ Choice Award in 2012 and the PeopleÕ s Choice award in 2009. Galleries of some of their rustic armoires, beds, bookcases, cabinetry, carvings, chests, clocks, credenzas, desks, dressers, hutches, sideboards, tables, and more can be enjoyed at www.lpostrustics.com.

Next year the 27th Annual Rustic Furniture Fair will be held at the museum September 13 and 14, 2014, followed by the museum’s Antiques Show and Sale, Sept. 20 and 21, 2014.

Fundraiser scheduled

Au SABLE FORKS Ñ The Francis Betters Memorial Statue Project will host Fran Fest Saturday, Oct. 12, at Billy Mitchell Field in Au Sable Forks.

The event is in honor and memory of Francis Betters, an Adirondack fly fisherman. Fran was born in Wilmington in 1931 and lived to be 78. He owned and operated the Adirondack Sport Shop in Wilmington for almost 50 years and was inducted into the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum Hall of Fame in 2008.

Friends of Francis Betters are raising funds to commission a lifesize bronze statue to be placed near the Lake Everest dam in Wilmington to honor and memorialize the West Branch Ausable River fly-fishing legend.

Donations are tax deductible and can be sent to Town of Wilmington (501c3), Fran Betters Statue Project, P.O. Box 180, Wilmington, N.Y. 12997. Call 946-7174 for information.

Book club to meet

Au SABLE FORKS — The Au Sable Forks Free Library will host a book club Monday, Oct. 14, to discuss “The Monuments Men,” by Robert Edsel, from 6 to 7 p.m. While the global governments were either saving the world or trying to dominate it, men and women from 13 nations, mostly museum curators, archivists and the like, were on a mission to protect, preserve and steal back priceless pieces of culture from destruction.
