Race for Congress picture clears

GUILD GIVES

This Week Orchard workshops offered WHALLONSBURG Ñ Ever wonder how to propagate your own apple trees?

ItÕ s not as simple as putting a seed in the ground. In fact, apples like so many other fruit-bearing trees have seeds that are not true to their parent plant. Put a seed from a Honey Crisp in the ground, and instead a crab apple will grow.

This year, the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Plattsburgh and the Whallonsburg Grange are each hosting workshops to introduce orchardists and backyard gardeners to the science and art of fruit tree grafting. The seminars will provide a short tutorial on the history and techniques of grafting before participants will learn and practice several popular grafting techniques. Individuals will also leave with apple trees they grafted themselves which can be planted this Spring. Participants can choose from a variety of cultivars (new and old) to graft with. Each hands-on workshop will be led by Dillon Klepetar of Essex, who has a background in horticulture and orchard management.

The details of each event can be found below: • April 26, Whallonsburg Grange, 1610 State Route 22,10 a.m.-noon Space is limited. RSVP by email to farmsteadcatering@ gmail.com.

Suggested $15 Donation.

Proceeds to Benefit Lakeside School at Black Kettle Farm.

• May 4, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Plattsburgh, 6064 State Rte 22 Suite #5, 10 a.m.-noon.

Call 561-7450 to register or contact Jolene Wallace at jmw442@cornell.edu.

Cost is $20. Proceeds to benefit Adirondack Harvest.

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.

Barry Lobdell of the Adirondack Artists Guild presents a check for $1,792.50 to Linda Jackson, Historic Saranac Lake board member (left) and Amy Catania, the organization’s executive director (right). In February the Guild hosted, “My Kinda Town,” as a benefit show for Historic Saranac Lake, with works created by the gallery’s thirteen members where 75-percent of the proceeds went to Historic Saranac Lake. Each winter the Guild presents a benefit exhibit for a local organization. Next year the recipient will be the Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department.

Forks library seeks funds for performance

By Pete DeMola 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.

Democratic party

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.

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,” 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 — 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,” she said. “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.

BluSeed announces art show winners SARANAC LAKE Ñ BluSeed Studios is pleased to announce the winners of our second annual juried art competition, “Abstraction,” which opened on Jan. 24.

Works in the abstract in a variety of media were submitted by area artists and selected by this year ’s juror, Linda Sweeney. A total of 45 works are on exhibition, and five were awarded prizes at the opening reception on Friday, Jan. 24, Best of Show, First Place, First Honorable Mention and two Honorable Mentions.

Best in Show went to Ken Wiley for his oil painting, Ò Homage to Rinehardt and Kline.Ó First

If Bashaw could hammer only two points to homeowners, it would be to become intimate with your mortgage note (“Most people don’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 will be offered at WednesdayÕ s workshop include tips for managing money, how to obtain a mortgage, shopping for a home, working with realtors, navigating the inspection process and protecting your investment.

Daniels said the agency has quite a bit of capital they hope to distribute to prospective buyers before their latesummer deadline.

Qualified applicants should ideally have a steady income for at least 20 years, a credit score of at least 640 and enough fund balance in their monthly budget to afford mortgage payments. Ò If youÕ re ready to buy, weÕ re ready to explain who we are and the assistance we can give you,Ó she said.

To join this monthÕ s workshop on Wednesday, April 23 at HAPAC’s Plattsburgh office at 72 Clinton Street, call Penny Daniels at 565-4456. Workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; 20 spaces are available.

Place was awarded to Jess Collins for her untitled graphite work. First Honorable Mention went to Barry Lobdell for his photo titled Ò Blue and Green.Ó Honorable mentions include Julia Holmes for her fusion work, Ò 3 Coins in the Bat,Ó and Peter Shrope for his two piece ceramic work with Adirondack Rockware original glazes, Ò Sibling Rivalry, The Introvert and the Extrovert.Ó In addition, this year a Ò PeoplesÕ Choice AwardÓ was voted on by attendees of the opening reception on January 24th. Artist, Andrew Cziraki won with his acrylic on Masonite work titled, Ò Transcendence of the Planes of Reality.Ó “Abstraction,” will run through Feb. 23. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 1 to 5 p.m., and Saturday, noon to 5 p.m., or by appointment.

Maron to speak at library

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 panel” 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.

Gordon Howard Keeseville

NY-21

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,” 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.”

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 — Chris Maron, executive director of Champlain Area Trails will present an inspiring slide show titled “From Here to There—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 — 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 York’s 21st District this November,” 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 Forks’ Library Director, who hopes Gallagher can bring these stories to life at her small, rural facility with a special performance.

“Most of what we’d like to offer are programs for people of all ages that enrich the community and bring cultural awareness,Ó said Goulet.

Storytelling, concerts and art exhibits are the triptych that constitutes her creative vision for

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.”

DCCC spokesman Marc Brumer said that “New Yorkers can’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.

Interested parties can cut a tax deductible check to the Au Sable Forks Free Library or reach out via email, afbooks@charternet.com, or by calling 647-5596.

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 — 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
