Race for Congress picture clears

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ ItÕ s been three months since Congressman Bill Owens (DPlattsburgh) announced his retirement from the House of Representatives after a fouryear stint, a decision that kicked off an immediate rush of candidates from all ends of the political spectrum to replace him in a race that has already started to attract national attention as a swing district crucial in drafting the electoral road map for House control.

Petitions

For ballot access, major party hopefuls had to submit signatures equal to five percent of the enrolled voters of the political unit (or 1,250 signatures) by Friday, April 10. To meet the filing deadline set by the state board of elections, candidates and their campaigns have been crisscrossing the expansive district, which is some 16,000 square miles and contains over 400,000 enrolled voters, in the quest for support.

HereÕ s how they made out and what comes next in the race.

pete@denpubs.com AU SABLE FORKS Ñ While this small town straddling Clinton and Essex counties is thin on folks these days Ñ the population clocked in at 3,146 in the 2010 census Ñ thereÕ s no shortage of history and residents who want to ferry creatives in to bring the past to life.

Settlers came spilling in the 1820s to work in the lumber and forging industry, said AuSable town historian Roby Scott, many from Francophone Canada.

They came from Ireland, Scotland and had names like Kellogg, Mooney, Anderson and Mallory.

Immigrants streamed in, died and were buried.

Most were forgotten until Martha Gal-

lagher, a Keene-based performer who bills herself as the Ò Adirondack Harper,Ó ventured out to local cemeteries to glean what she could from their headstones.

As a result, Ò Songs of the StonesÓ was born, a series of original compositions derived from the inscriptions carved into the mossy stones.

Aaron Woolf, the New York City-based candidate who also lives in Elizabethtown, a political novice who narrowly avoided derailing his campaign with a monthlong period of silence following his endorsement by 11 of the 12 Democratic committee chairs on Feb. 12, passed the ballot threshold and will appear on the primary ballot. Ò Our campaign is thrilled that we obtained nearly three times more signatures than needed to make the Democratic Party primary ballot.

Master gardener candidates sought WESTPORT Ñ Do you have a green thumb? Would you like to have a green thumb?

If so, Cornell Cooperative Extension would like to hear about it. The service is seeking master gardener candidates, particularly from Ticonderoga, Crown Point and Schroon Lake areas. Ò Cornell Cooperative Extension is recruiting master gardener volunteers for Essex County,Ó Linda Gillilland, who leads the program in Essex County, said. Ò We are searching for master gardener volunteers who enjoy working with youth and seniors. We also highly encourage gardeners who live in the southern end of our county Ñ Schroon, Ticonderoga, Crown Point, etc. Ñ to apply. Ò Master gardener volunteers receive an in depth training in a variety of horticultural topics,Ó she said. Ò In return, master gardener volunteers contribute a minimum of 50 hours per year as part of their program commitment. The purpose of the master gardener program is to train volunteers who will then teach

others how to protect the environment and grow plants more effectively.Ó Applications for the master gardener program are due June 1. Training starts Sept. 9. For more information or for an application contact Gillilland at 9624810 or llg46@cornell.edu Applicants will be interviewed this summer. Master gardeners will be selected based on their availability, willingness to volunteer, communication skills and background in gardening.

There is a $200 cost for the program, which includes 50 hours of training.

The master gardener program is a national effort. Ò In our region, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Clinton and Essex Counties have a master gardener program which Amy Ivy oversees with the help of our horticulture educators in each county, Jolene Wallace in Clinton County and myself in Essex County,Ó Gillilland said. Ò This is a lot more than just an in-depth course in gardening. The purpose of the program is to train volunteers who will then teach others what

they have learned, using a wide range of teaching methods.Ó Being a master gardener is demanding, Gillilland said. Ò There is a considerable volunteer commitment of 50 hours a year, but those who are able to fit in the time say itÕ s an excellent way to learn more about their favorite topic (gardening) while helping others,Ó she said.

This fallÕ s master gardener training sessions will be held in Keeseville. Once training is complete, master gardeners work in their own communities. Master gardeners are expected to give informal talks and workshops on gardening topics.

The training sessions will be practical and hands-on, with an emphasis on trouble-shooting, prevention and environmentally-friendly methods of plant health care, Gillilland said. Topics will include cool season gardening; composting; ecological lawn care; selecting, planting and maintaining trees and shrubs; soil management; and troubleshooting plant problems.

his is the time of year when property owners can discuss their assessments with the town assessors. To set up a meeting to learn how the value of your property was established, call the town hall at 963-4287. If you believe your assessment is too high, a meeting with the assessors may result in a reduction or at least an understanding of the assessment process.

Property owners may also participate in Grievance Day, when they can make their case to the Board of Assessment Review. As a current member of the townÕ s BAR, I assure you we try our best to give every appellant a fair hearing, but the burden of proving the assessment incorrect is on the appellant. Grievance Day is always the fourth Tuesday in May, which this year is the 27th.

arrival to our landscape, because the worms native to this area were all wiped out by glaciers during the last ice age. The familiar night crawler is actually from Europe, inadvertently brought to North American in shipsÕ ballasts like so many other invasive species. Before the arrival of Europeans, there were no soil dwelling worms of any sort here, and without worms there were no woodcocks. By the way, glaciers never get more than a mile thick, because any thicker and the weight and intense pressure of the ice would cause melting underneath.

Looking ahead, there will be a gospel choir singing at the Essex Community Church on Friday April 25 at 7:30 p.m. There is no admission fee but donations are welcome to this performance which I hope will rattle some windows. Also April 25, the Grange will offer a lecture on the timber rattlesnake, Crotalus horridus, our local viper. Joe Racette, a DEC naturalist, will discuss these seldom seen snakes which dwell on Split Rock Mountain, their most northerly stronghold. The lecture begins at 7 p.m. and admission is $8.

appy Easter to everyone hopeful that you got to enjoy family. It feels so good to have the much nicer weather, nice to see people out and about enjoying the good weather. The Boquet River is very full and rushing this past weekend, hopeful there will not be any floods. It is also nice to see some building kind of activity, Danny Belzile has had the old back end of the Talbot House torn off and there will be some changes there soon. I heard of a couple of more houses being sold.

The community food shelf has been moved from the town hall to one of the Mountain Lake services homes here in town and they will be managing it as we move forward.

There is going to be some changes to the downtown park area where the monuments now stand. There will soon to be developed a Florence Hathaway Community Garden down by the tennis courts on the Essex Road.

This is where interested persons can adopt a row and take care of it for the season. If interested there will be an information program on April 26 at the VisitorÕ s Center from 9 a.m. to noon to give more information and sign up interested persons, or check at the town hall.

Real Estate 101: Workshops aim to educate homeowners, prevent foreclosures

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID Ñ If phrases like periodic amortization, NINA, equity release and jumbo are alien to you, donÕ t worry Ñ youÕ re not alone and the Housing Assistance Program of Essex County (HAPEC) wants to help education both prospective and current homeowners with two upcoming workshops.

Managing your mortgage

The first class, slated to be held on Tuesday, April 22 at the Lake Placid Public Library, is designed to help troubled homeowners make heads or tails of the bank loan that uses property or land as collateral and how to navigate the choppy waters that come with foreclosure proceedings. Ò Our goal is to work with people and banks to resolve delayed payment if theyÕ re behind,Ó said instructor Michelle Bashaw, a homeowner counselor with HAPEC, a Housing and Urban Development-certified counseling agency.

Bashaw said even if a case has been passed on to foreclosure attorneys, itÕ s not too late for mitigation. Many homeowners arenÕ t aware there are

services that can help them, she said.

Homeowners who are not yet behind, but are having financial trouble that will affect their ability to make payments, can ask for help.

Banks cannot tell them to miss payments in order to be eligible for a workout option, she said. Nor can they foreclose without offering a chance to go to court for a settlement conference, another tip that isnÕ t common knowledge.

If the court happens to side with the bank and allows them to foreclose, the homeowner will have at least 30 days in the home to make other living arrangements. Ò The sooner people come to us with questions and problems, the better,Ó she said.

As Essex County moves forward with a tax auction on April 30 designed to auction off the properties seized for failure to pay property taxes since 2006 Ñ those units have leveled off at around 130 Ñ and as last month saw the lowest national foreclosure rate since the second quarter of 2007, Bashaw said foreclosure is a problem that continues to reverberate throughout the region and one that hasnÕ t subsided as the economy continues to right itself after the housing

bubble popped in 2007. Ò IÕ m not seeing it come to an end,Ó she said. Ò More and more people are seeking help dealing with the summons and complaints that mark the legal beginning of the foreclosure process.Ó Bashaw said the legal wrangling can be a long and tedious process that is often overwhelming for homeowners who are not well-versed in legalese and bureaucratic procedures.

Common mistakes, she said, include the submission of incomplete packets that stall decisions and leave residents with lingering questions about their case.

HAPEC will request those same documents from the banks and will assist homeowners in exploring available loss mitigation options Ò IÕ ll stay with them through the entire application process and until the paperwork is final,Ó she said.

Monthly mortgage statements often fail to reflect whatÕ s going on with their actual loan and the gap between bank and legal team can be frightening, she said.

If Bashaw could hammer only two points to homeowners, it would be to become intimate with your mortgage note (Ò Most people donÕ t know the

difference between the note, which is the document that discusses the contract with the bank, and a mortgageÓ ) and when their payments are due, including the grace period. Ò People should know where to turn for help, and thatÕ s me.Ó

To register for the class at the Lake Placid Public Library on Tuesday, April 22, send Michelle Bashaw an email at michelle@ hapec.org or call 873-6888.

Homebuyer purchase program

If youÕ re a tentative homeowner who is now petrified after getting a refresher course on everything that can go wrong after making the decision to purchase a home Ñ or someone who would like to buy a home, but is low on capital Ñ you may be interested in HAPACÕ s sister workshop designed to help income eligible households locate and lock in a residence.

Organizer Penny Daniels said the program has helped close to 1,000 families find housing since the early1990s, or about one family per month, with a combination of counseling, matching grants and funds they distribute to prospective homeowners who

meet their criteria.

This weekÕ s workshop is slated for Wednesday, April 23 at their office in Clinton County. Ò Budgeting, savings and credit advice are the biggest tips we try to give people before buying a home,Ó said Daniels. Ò We donÕ t want people to get overextended with their mortgage payments.Ó Daniels said there are ample savings and grant programs Ñ like the First Home Club, for example Ñ that chip in funds to aspiring homeowners who make commitment to save money every month to make a purchase.

HAPECÕ s own Home Purchase Program assists with closing costs, principal reduction and repairs, services that board member Bill Johnston said fill the void left by struggling local governments that have neither the staff nor financial resources to offer solutions to housing problems. Ò This is where the regional organizations like ours really step up to the plate,Ó he said. Ò We really try to educate and educate the buyer,Ó said Daniels. Ò I believe weÕ re successful Ñ itÕ s a long day and we go through a lot of content.Ó Other bullet points that

CATS prep trails for grand hike WESTPORT Ñ With the late-arriving spring, Champlain Area Trails volunteers are finally able to inspect and prepare the trails for the Grand Innto-Inn Hike on Saturday, May 3. The hike from the Westport Hotel & Tavern to the Essex Inn is designed to attract attention to hamlet-to-hamlet hiking opportunities in the Champlain Valley. It will feature a block party celebration featuring the Wadhams Waddlers Band at the Essex Inn. “The snow finally melted, the trails got really wet, and hopefully, with some warmer and dry weather, they will be in good shape for the hike,Ó said CATS Trail Committee Chair Bill Amadon. Ò There will undoubtedly be some wet areas on May 3 but after all, it is a hike.Ó Ò Most of the trails seem to be okay,Ó added Chris Maron, CATS executive director. Ò There werenÕ t any big blowdowns or ice damage so itÕ s mostly picking up branches and seeing if we need temporary bridges or boardwalks. Plus about half of the hike is on scenic back roads which will make for easy walking.Ó The hike starts at 9 a.m. at the Westport Hotel where breakfast is available at 7:30 a.m. and check-in begins at 8 a.m. Participants can park there or in Essex where a free shuttle will take

them to Westport. The block party begins at 5 p.m. in the Essex Inn courtyard. People can hike the whole route, join at designated Ò oases,Ó or stop at the oases and ride the shuttle, provided by Pok-OMacCready Camps, back to their cars.

Everyone is welcome for the hike and block party, which non-hikers can attend. There is a registration fee of $5/person or $10/family for the hike. The block party is free and open to all. To preregister go to the CATS website ChamplainAreaTrails.com or call 962-2287.

Valley News Editorial

Schools need fresh ideas A W

hile North County school districts received a small degree of relief with last monthÕ s state budget figures that announced a $602 million reinstatement of the state aid that school officials say is crucial to maintaining education programs for their students, and an overall fund increase of $1.1 billion, we feel as if more needs to be done to explore more creative ways of bridging the budget shortfalls that continue to plague districts.

Reach out to alumni. ItÕ s a bitter pill to swallow that the North Country is hemorrhaging young people as they leave the region in droves for higher education and career paths outward. A crucial argument underpinning the need to keep districts intact is that theyÕ ve fostered collective senses of shared schematic experience; of a group identity; of experiences that have shaped young minds into the adults they are today. If their salad days have played such a crucial role in their development, then it bears to reason that graduates whoÕ ve fanned across the globe wouldnÕ t mind kicking in some coin to ensure that those who follow in their footsteps are ensured the same priceless experiences.

Look outward. Make use of the federal F-1 visa program that requires foreign students to pay tuition to study at American high schools. Between 2007 and 2012, the number of F-1 students at American high schools increased tenfold, and the number is only set to increase as formerly insular countries across the Middle East and Asia begin to realize the value of globalization. But despite our gregarious and welcoming nature, America has an odd, often contradictory and politicized viewpoint towards immigration and if our rural school districts want to remain intact, they need to capitalize on the legions of international learners who view the American education system as the juicy apple towards future sustainability and want nothing more to learn English and the soft cultural skills required to catapult themselves onto the global playing field.

Break the unions. Districts complain that rising costs are due to state mandates that they just canÕ t skirt. While we respect the invaluable role that many educators play in shaping young minds, weÕ d like to think theyÕ re no more special than the panoply of professionals who also contribute to young development Ñ from scientists to athletes to Mom and Dad Ñ and we advocate for a

merit-based system, not a corrupt feeding trough. Break their ironclad grip and level the playing field. WeÕ re revoking your hall pass and placing you on academic suspension.

Corporate sponsorships. LetÕ s be realistic Ñ if youÕ re facing the decision to either close your doors and tuition out your students and accepting a bit of corporate lucre, weÕ d like to think youÕ re practical enough to make a reasonable decision. Educational facilities arenÕ t sacrosanct and should be allowed to open themselves up to a bidding process for corporate sponsorship. Naturally, this should be accompanied by strong safeguards to ensure the curriculum isnÕ t compromised and corporate influence be limited to somewhat innocuous areas like athletic team and meal sponsorship, contracts with tech firms and other win-win situations that rise all boats.

Paid classes. Taxes are a touchy issue and we all balk at increases in the levy. But that doesnÕ t mean that individual parents arenÕ t willing to fork over a bit more cash to ensure their kids receive an academic boost. If auxiliary classes are framed in a different lens Ñ not as a tax levy, but rather as a choice between a year Õ s worth of weekend trips to the mall and, say, classes that will give kids a leg up during the collegiate application process Ñ then weÕ d like to think that a total overhaul of how electives are conceptualized, implemented and executed could mark a new golden dawn in progressive education.

Cut more. WeÕ re going to be blunt, like the school nurse who slathers iodine over that skinned knee at recess: More can be slashed away. Get rid of supply budgets entirely, for example, and go after corporate sponsorships to supply your paper, your pens and the other materials you need to disseminate your information. Go paperless or see if manufacturers like International Paper are willing to donate materials for some good PR. Join forces with other districts for bulk purchasing. Outsource extras like plays and class trips to private volunteers or civic organizations. There are always creative solutions to insurmountable problems. And when the fate of an entire generation of young North Country leaders are at stake, we expect nothing less. Ñ

Letters to the Editor

Not all speech is free To the Valley News: The First Amendment says that, ÒC ongress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech.Ó It does not grant free speech in all locations such as the work place, private buildings open to the public (shopping malls), or property you do not own. It may be limited by a concept known as Òt ime, place, and manner.Ó Libelous and slanderous statements (lies) are not protected unless uttered on the House or Senate floors.

I believe that FCC should be investigating broadcast media. It is established that the airwaves are a public resource. Congress gave the FCC a regulatory duty. There is a significant amount deal of dishonesty in broadcast media content. In recent history, I have seen/heard bullying in broadcast media, either directly or through advertising.An example of bullying would be those ads which stated: candidate X Òv oted with Nancy Pelosi,Ó without specifying what item was voted on. Folks, every Congressman voted with Nancy Pelosi on something, if nothing more than a motion to adjourn.

An out-and-out lie uttered time and again was that the Affordable Care Act authorized a, Ò death panelÓ that would decide which Medicare people would not get expensive health care, a form of rationing ( not unlike commercial insurance companies do now, a fact never mentioned). I could not believe that Congress would pass such a thing. This law was an Act of Congress not an Presidential Au-

thorization like water boarding.

I read the law. The panel was charged with containing Medicare costs. In the law, that panel was specifically prohibited from making recommendations as to rationing health care. The panelÕ s recommendations are to be presented to Congress, which will act on them however it chooses. The panel cannot enact the recommendations. I have no problem with the FCC going after liars and frauds on my airwaves.

We are supposed to have open debate. Deliberate misrepresentation of the facts should be prosecuted.

Such behavior is subversive and contrary to a healthy democracy.

Joe Gilbert, 21st District House candidate, wishes to do away with the U.S. Department of Education.

He is quoted as saying that the Department, Òi snÕ t in the Constitution.Ó I read the Constitution. HeÕ s right, no departments are listed: none, zero, nada. Using GilbertÕ s criterion for getting rid of departments, we should sack these department too, among others: Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, Commerce, Defense, Homeland Security. In for a penny, in for a dollar!

The type of statement used by Gilbert occurs all to often. In my opinion, it is aimed at creating a quick, negative reaction - Òi ts wrong if it is not in the ConstitutionÓ - from people who are too lazy to check out the Constitution or other sources of facts. Getting into power by misrepresentation and innuendo seems to be the norm. Abuse of the First Amendment is the weapon of choice.

Continued from page 1 Ò He had twice as many signatures as needed for the Working Families Party ballot,Ó Woolf campaign manager Stuart Rosenberg said in a written statement. Ò We are excited by the momentum that is growing in our campaign throughout the district and look forward to continuing conversations with residents in the 21st Congressional District on how, working together, we can create jobs and grow our economy here in the North Country.Ó Essex County Democratic committee chair Bethany Kosmider said her organization was Ò exuberantly happyÓ over the amount of support that Essex County and all the counties of the 21st Congressional District have given to Aaron Woolf. Ò Petition signatures for Aaron far surpassed our expectations and that speaks volumes of the grassroots enthusiasm that our candidate has.Ó Woolf was the only candidate aside from Stefanik who released his campaign’s first quarter fundraising numbers by the time this story went to press on Tuesday, April 15: Records provided by his campaign show the candidate raised $205,000 in the 40 days since establishing his fundraising account with the Federal Elections Commission on Feb. 21.

More than 300 citizens offered donations, said the report, with over 60 percent of the funds coming from within the state and over 60 percent of the donors to the campaign giving less than $250. Ò I am extremely proud of the great start to our campaign and can feel the momentum as we speak with residents throughout the 21st Congressional District,Ó Woolf said in a written statement. Ò This election is about priorities and the priorities of Elise Stefanik and Matt Doheny are misplaced and misguided.Ó Steven Burke, the Macomb town board member who jumped into the race following WoolfÕ s initial monthlong silence and has been given the cold shoulder by the party establishment, said he met the filing deadline and turned his signatures to the board of elections on Thursday, April 9 and received an official letter of confirmation, which he recited to the Valley News during a phone call. Ò Let the race begin,Ó he said.

Burke, who was nailed to the wall by the Adirondack Daily Enterprise last month for allegedly lying about his age, said he now plans on visiting each county ahead of the primary and collecting signatures for ballot access was an Ò eye-opener.Ó Ò Going door-to-door meeting with people across the district and speaking with them really put things in perspective: their needs and expectations from the government. People are worried about the economy, worried about jobs and they just want a good living in the North Country,Ó he said. Ò And of course, thereÕ s always the complaint about taxes.Ó Barring legal challenges by either of the campaigns, the two Democratic candidates can look forward to nine weeks of campaigning across the expansive district before registered Democrats hit the polls for the primary on June 24.

Republican party

Elise Stefanik, the 29-year-old Willsboro resident with strong national ties to the GOP and 2012 Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan, collected four times the necessary amount of signatures to land on the GOP ballot, ensuring a primary face-off on June 24 with Matt Doheny, a Watertown-based investment banker and three-time congressional candidate who also passed the threshold.

Library concert

Continued from page 1 Ò While I didnÕ t approach this project with a historical bent in mind, I started discovering that myself,Ó she told North Country Public Radio in an interview.

Gallagher said one of her favorite discoveries was an epitaph for an Ohio native: Ò Here she lies where she loves to be.Ó

WESTPORT Ñ Chris Maron, executive director of Champlain Area Trails will present an inspiring slide show titled Ò From Here to ThereÑ Making Connections in the Champlain Valley,Ó on Tuesday, April 22, 7 p.m., at the Westport Library. He will show beautiful pictures illustrating the biological richness of the valleyÕ s natural communities and explain how trails increase understanding of the local environment and connect communities. This is one of many activities the Westport Library holds to build a stronger community in the central Champlain Valley. It is free and open to everyone.

Bus tour planned

KEESEVILLE Ñ On May 3, a mini-bus tour of underground railroad sites in Keeseville and Peru will be held.Spend the morning hearing the stories and learning about the men and women who traveled on the underground railroad and those who provided safe passage to fugitives from slavery. There are several stops including one at the hidden room located in a barn at the former Stephen Keese Smith farm in Peru.Tour leaders are members of the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association. The two hour tour leaves the North Star Underground Railroad Museum, 1131 Mace Chasm Road, Ausable Chasm

On Friday, April 10, Stefanik also netted a coveted endorsement by the state Conservative Party after collecting over 700 signatures, far more than the required 281. Ò IÕ m honored and humbled that after such thoughtful consideration, the Conservative Party has entrusted their faith in me to win back New YorkÕ s 21st District this November,Ó she said in a statement on Friday. Ò As a principled conservative, I understand that we cannot win back the North Country as Republicans without the help and support of the Conservative Party.Ó Stefanik had said earlier that she plans on running a positive campaign and looks forward to a unified GOP race later this fall.

Reports from her campaign annouced a first quarter haul of $268,000 by 414 individual donors, 310 of which kicked in donations at or below $250.

Doheny, who appeared on the Conservative ballot in 2012 and was endorsed by five of the six officially organized committee chairs in this campaign (and collected 1025 signatures from the 5600 registered members of that party), appeared displeased and criticized the committeeÕ s decision on Friday: Ò The sad fact is the Executive Committee of the State Conservative Party is just another Big Brother,Ó he said in an email statement. Ò While disappointed with todayÕ s decision, we are not deterred and with the Republican and Independence party lines our campaign will continue. Like the people of the North Country, we donÕ t quit. Our campaign will continue to reach out and work with all like-minded Conservative, Republican and Independent voters to spread our message of lower taxes and greater opportunity. Together the will of the people will win out over the will of Washington insiders.Ó On Monday, his campaign offered a succinct one-word statement to comments Conservative Party chairman Mike Long made to the Glens Falls Post-Star on Friday that he preferred to see Doheny drop out to better StefanikÕ s chances of uniting the GOP for the general election: Ò Nuts!Ó Both Stefanik and Doheny circulated petitions seeking the Conservative PartyÕ s support. While both collected more than enough signatures to appear on that partyÕ s line, since both are GOP members, they needed the Conservative PartyÕ s executive committee to play kingmaker.

The endorsement means Stefanik will be listed on the Conservative ballot line for the general election in November while Matt Doheny will appear on the Independence line, meaning that voters can look forward to a potential internecine race in November regardless of who wins the Republican primary on June 24. Ò Elise is extremely bright and is a wonderful speaker,Ó said Essex County GOP Committee Chair Ron Jackson, who endorsed StefanikÕ s campaign shortly after her announcement to run last August, during a phone call with the Valley News. Ò Anyone who listens to her speak comes away impressed. I think sheÕ s going to win the primary and fall right into the job, an effective representative for the North Country from day one.Ó Joe Gilbert, the GOP hopeful whose campaign failed to gain traction despite strong Tea Party support and impeccable military credentials, failed to submit petitions for the Republican line by FridayÕ s deadline, thus effectively removing himself from contention unless he decides to run on a third-party line.

Gilbert cited family issues for his decision and told the Valley News in a phone call that he still may run on the Constitution and Libertarian Party lines in the event he decides to re-enter the race: Ò IÕ m not in a position to pursue this full time, but IÕ m prepared to give everything IÕ ve got after assessing my personal life,Ó he

Ò That one really touched me, it was beautiful,Ó she said.

It also touched Maria Goulet, Au Sable ForksÕ Library Director, who hopes Gallagher can bring these stories to life at her small, rural facility with a special performance. Ò Most of what weÕ d like to offer are programs for people of all ages that enrich the community and bring cultural awareness,Ó said Goulet.

said. Ò IÕ m still going to raise hell from the sidelines whether IÕ m in the race or not.Ó

Green party Matt Funiciello, a Glens Falls-based baker running for his partyÕ s nod in a rare primary, said he collected the requisite amount of signatures and will face off against Don Hassig on June 24. Ò I look forward to a rewarding race introducing myself, my ideas and those of the Green Party to the people in our district and to becoming the first Green Party member elected to Congress,Ó said Funiciello in a written statement. Ò I see no reason to expect that voters seeking meaningful and historic change in their representation would not choose to vote for me. It is the brave thing to do. And we are a brave people.Ó Hassig told the Valley News that he has collected enough signatures and looks forward to a competitive race. Ò A primary will be very productive of news media coverage on the issues of our two campaigns. The issues are the essence of Green Party participation in the electoral process,Ó he said.

Party brass have repeatedly said they will not endorse a candidate for the primary and have distanced themselves from Hassig after the candidate made statements that were perceived as xenophobic at a forum in Wanakena in 2012.

Hassig, unlike the other candidates, has openly told the Valley News hat he doesnÕ t plan on winning this year and is using his candidacy as a way to garner attention to his signature issues, namely fracking and cancer conspiracy theories, for a race in 2020.

A written statement by Hassig to the media on Monday, April 14 described the candidate needling a state official about persistent organic pollutants, for example, as opposed to the more conventional statements issued by the other candidates.

National attention The race has already started to elicit early attention from the national parties, both of which view the purple district as a keystone in electoral roadmaps for House control, with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) placing the race on its Red to Blue watchlist, a designation singled out for the most competitive races.

Seventeen seats are needed to move the chamber back into Democratic control for the first time since 2006.

“We are very confident about increasing our majority in 2014 and winning back Republican-leaning districts like the 21st will help us do that,Ó National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Ian Prior told the Valley News. Ò Both Republican candidates in this race are extremely impressive and vastly superior to New York City transfer Aaron Woolf, who last time we checked was getting lost trying to find his way from the East Side of Manhattan to Watertown.Ó DCCC spokesman Marc Brumer said that Ò New Yorkers canÕ t afford one more rubber stamp in Washington whose only allegiance is to the far right wing special interests and the Tea PartyÕ s out of touch agenda. By refusing to stand up to Paul Ryan and his radical plan to end Medicare as we know it, raise taxes on middle class families and slash education, both Matt Doheny and Elise Stefanik have both already proven their only concern is advancing their own political careers.Ó BrumerÕ s statement follows last weekÕ s passage by the House of the Ryan Budget, a non-binding plan that advocates say would reach a fiscal balance in 10 years by cutting taxes, repealing the Affordable Care Act and cutting social programs.

the library. Ò ItÕ s sad to think being so far away from your home country and dying on a whole different continent,Ó said Goulet, who cited Ò By Foreign Hands,Ó GallagherÕ s ode to the immigrants who shaped the early economy of the North County, as a highlight.

To share these experiences with library patrons, however, she requires help from the living.

The library still needs $400 to bring these

stories to the place where the two forks meet.

While they can fund a portion of the cost, they hope patrons and members of the wider regional community can pitch in for the scheduled performance on Thursday, May 1. Ò ItÕ s really a beautiful performance and I hope we can get enough support,Ó said Goulet.

Pipeline gets greenlight to run from Addison County to Ti Proposed natural gas spur to benefit county’s largest private employer

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ADDISON, Vt. Ñ International Paper (IP) passed a major hurdle towards developing a new energy source for their mill in Ticonderoga on Wednesday, April 9, when the Addison County Regional Planning Commission (ACRPC) voted to support a pipeline that would direct natural gas to the plant.

The decisive 15-11 vote came after a period of public outcry from Addison County towns who argued that the pipeline would serve little benefit to their communities. Ò I donÕ t believe that it was an easy decision for any of our delegates,Ó said ACRPC Director Adam Lougee in a written statement. Ò However, I believe they read the plan in its totality, considered the comments of our citizens and of our neighbors in New York and Rutland, weighed the costs and benefits of the project and used their best judgment to arrive at a vote where a majority felt the project conformed to the Addison County Regional Plan.Ó Prior to IPÕ s involvement, the proposed line stretched from Burlington to Middlebury. If approved by another agency this fall, a new 19-mile-long offshoot would redirect gas from Vermont Gas through a spur in Addison County to Ticonderoga.

IP representative Donna Wadsworth said the company will pay for a portion of the upgrades from Burlington to Middlebury

and the full cost from Middlebury to Ticonderoga, a number that is currently estimated at $98 million, with an addition $12 million slotted for equipment conversion costs.

Prior to last weekÕ s decision, Ticonderoga town supervisor Bill Grinnell urged lawmakers at the Essex County board of supervisors to join him in lobbying ACRPC for their seal of approval. Ò WeÕ re at an impasse at this moment in time,Ó he told his colleagues. Ò IÕ m not sure if Addison County understands the economic impact that this will have in our communities. ItÕ s the right thing to do, the necessary thing to do.Ó Board chairman Randall Douglas, who accompanied Grinnell to WednesdayÕ s meeting along with Crown Point supervisor Charles Harrington and MoriahÕ s Tom Scozzafava, said he was worried about the ramifications to IP, the largest private employer in Essex County with 600 staffers, and encouraged his fellow lawmakers to pass a resolution in support of the project. Ò This pipeline is critical for IP and for this part of Essex County,Ó Scozzafava later told the Valley News. Ò I was pleased that the commission voted to support it. The process was very well professionally done. There was a lot of good discussion for and against and it really was democracy in action.Ó Grinnell agreed: Ò I donÕ t know what impact we had, if any, but we were wellreceived and the meeting was extremely well-done.Ó Monkton resident Maren Vasatka, a vocal opponent of the project, attended WednesdayÕ s meeting and told the Valley News in a phone call that she believes that ACRPCÕ s decision was strictly a financial one that would benefit all parties except Vermont residents, especially those who are fighting eminent domain notices from Vermont Gas. Ò If itÕ s going to be all about the money, then Vermont Gas needs to pay the homeowners a fair market value, which is something they are presently not doing,Ó she said.

Wadsworth said fuel costs to run the lime kiln and power boiler at IP are projected to escalate and the pipeline will bring

“significant” savings and the project also brings environmental benefits.

Making the conversion from to natural gas from oil is slated to decrease greenhouse gases from the mill between 25 and 30 percent, she said, something that dovetails with New YorkÕ s push to reduce greenhouse gases. Ò ThereÕ s a nice synergy between our company, the two states and greenhouse gas reduction plans,Ó she said.

John Sheehan, a spokesman for Adirondack Council, said while his organization is supportive of any efforts that will boost employment in the region, they will be paying close attention to the details as the project moves forward. Ò A switch to natural gas would be very desirable for the airs of the region,Ó he said. Ò This will make a substantial difference in emissions output from the smokestacks.Ó The next step in the process is for the Vermont Public Service Board to sign off on the project, a decision that is expected to be handed down sometime this fall. Ò We anticipate being a customer of Vermont Gas by December 2015,Ó said Wadsworth.

er, Hilda returned to the work force as a food service worker at Keene Central School. She retired in 1980 after 17 years of service.

Hilda was a long time member of the American Legion Auxiliary and Keene Valley Fire Department Auxiliary, as well as a devoted member of Keene Valley Congregational Church. She received the National Honor Society Citizen's Award in 1992.

Eagles baseball team experienced

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT Ñ The Westport varsity baseball team is looking to get back into the mix of the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference and Class D. Ò We have been re-building the last couple of years and now head into this season with some veteran experience,Ó head coach Don Markwica said. Ò We have great leadership from our three senior captains Ryan Davis, John Doyle and Tyrell Tryon, who are part of the seven returning starters from last years team. We also return five pitchers from last years staff who are Sam Napper, Dylan Limlaw, John Doyle, Ryan Davis and Lloyd Staats. They are bigger and stronger and the improvement they have shown so far this year is very promising.Ó Markwica said the key for the season will be for players to be productive at the plate, on the bases and in the field.

Ò Our offense will rely on everyone contributing this year,Ó Markwica said. Ò In the past two years our offense has struggled with too many non-productive outs. The second half of last year we finally started to correct that and we hope to build on that this year. The keys to our success will be having our defense play to its potential, our pitchers to continue to improve and our offense cutting down on those nonproductive outs.Ó Overall, Markwica said it comes down to being fundamentally sound. Ò We will look to improve ourselves and our team each day and if we can do that then we will be competitive in this League,Ó he said.

Lady Pats softball seeks B crown

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE Ñ The AuSable Valley varsity softball team will seek to claim the Class B title with an experienced and deep roster in 2014.

“This year we have our whole infield, including pitcher and catcher, returning from lastÕ s year team,Ó head coach Marty Snow said. Ò Two of our top hitters, Miranda Sheffer and Logan Snow, return to lead the offense. Tiffany Evens and Alyssa Baughn will be returning infielders. One of the top pitchers in the league, Madison Rondeau, will be on the mound with Kendra Niemann handling the catcherÕ s duties. Vanessa Garrow, Priscilla Coats, Lindsay Brown, Mirissa OÕ Neill, Lindsay Christian, Shelby Bourgeois, and Kylee Brunell will be

competing for the remaining spots.Ó Snow said the roster is full of athletes who can move around the field. Ò All the girls on this team are capable of playing any position on the field,” Snow said. “We need to cut down on the fielding and running errors if we are to be competitive. When we have runners on base we need to take advantage and manufacture runs. I believe this team has a lot of talent and we are deep in positions. If we play to our potential, we should be competing for the class B title at the end of the season.Ó The roster includes seniors Logan Snow, Miranda Sheffer, Tiffany Evens, Alyssa Baughn, Lindsay Christian and Mirissa OÕ Neill; juniors Madison Rondeau; Kendra Niemann; Lindsay Brown; Kylee Brunell; Priscilla Coats and Shelby Bourgeois; and sophomore Vanessa Garrow.

Baseball team has depth on mound

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE Ñ The AuSable Valley varsity baseball team returns to Class B in 2014 with a group of experienced players ready to face the challenge of a class jump. Ò For us to be competitive, we will need quality production from our six returning players,Ó head coach Randy Douglas said. Ò Dillon Savage led the CVAC last season with a .590 batting average and will be joined by returning players Roger Preston, Mike McDonald, Sultan Sikandar, Nick McDonald and Shane Douglas. We will also need the newcomers to step up to the challenge and we have some talented players.Ó For the shortened season, Douglas said the Patri-

ots will have an edge on the mound. Ò We have six pitchers which is a plus because of the late arrival of spring,Ó Douglas said. Ò We will have to pack a lot of games into a short period of time so pitching will be key.Ó Douglas and Nick McDonald join Savage as returning CVAC all stars in the infield. However, Douglas said there is a lack of experience in the outfield.

“Converting infielders into outfielders could be a challenge, but I feel the lack of experience will be offset by the speed of the players,Ó Douglas said.

The roster includes seniors Shane Douglas, Dillon Savage, Mike McDonald, Nick McDonald, Roger Preston, Jimmy Provost and Josh Taylor; juniors Keith Christensen, Sultan Sikandar, Tyler Champine and Jamie Coolidge; and sophomore Ali Sikandar.
