Corriveau clan welcomes Haitian boys into their family

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

LAKE GEORGE — This weekend, the Lake George Winter Carnival opens with the zany traditional outhouse races, a variety of children’s activities, a Radio Disney family show, and the long-standing “Polar Plunge” into the frigid waters of Lake George.

Thousands are expected to attend the Carnival, an annual festival held since 1961 in

WARRENSBURG — A fouryear-old child, until recently a Haitian orphan, gazed into a laptop computer, while his new adoptive father, Jim Corriveau of Warrensburg gave him a hug.

“Jeanne Marie.....Kiki....

Famesa.....Celinda......Dianna,” Jean said with a broad grin as he spoke the names, in choppy Creole phrases, of the other youngsters he played with at the “For His Glory” orphanage in Haiti.

That was until the devastating earthquake occurred Jan. 12 in Port au Prince, turning buildings into rubble, and killing 170,000 or more adults and children.

By some miracle, For His Glory orphanage was spared, Corriveau said. The only people directly connected to the orphanage that were victims of the quake were the resident director, who was injured and a nanny who died when a

Legislators debate halting state land purchases, cuts to environmental fund ALBANY — State legislators vowed this week to overturn Gov. David Paterson’s proposed reduction in the state Environmental Protection Fund, as nearly a dozen environmental advocates blasted

the idea, while criticizing his associated proposal to freeze state land acquisitions for the next two years.

Faced with a pending $7.5 billion budget shortfall in fiscal year 20102011, Paterson has proposed slashing the unexpended balance in the Environmental Protection Fund to $143 million — a $79 million re-

duction from last year — while not spending any money at all for state land acquisition. The cash is to be moved into the state’s general fund.

Dozens of environmental advocates objecting to the proposals as they testified before a joint hearing of the state Senate and Assembly

Local business owner appears in Joli movie

C

hris Zyniecki from County Floors in Warrensburg went to Albany in April 2009 because Dennis Martinez saw an advertisement seeking extras to act in a movie.

Martinez thought of traveling to Albany with his old truck and mentioned it to Zyniecki who also shares a love of older vehicles. Zyniecki took his classic sedan down to Albany for the filming. Although they did not use his car, Zyniecki said they did film a scene with the County Floors truck in the background. Martinez didn't get to share the experience as an extra in the movie, but it sounds like Zyniecki really enjoyed himself.

The movie is named "Salt" starring Angelina Joli which is scheduled to be released in March 2010. Chris said he is a "startled pedestrian" in the movie, which was filmed near Interstate 787.

In the film, Angelina Joli rides her Triumph motorcycle past a crowd that included Zyniecki. She did turn around once, smile at him and give him a nod of approval, he said.

The filming took about nine days to film, 12 to14 hours per day. The producers paid about $350-$400 per full day for about 160 extras in the movie. Benefits included great food, served several times per day.

Zyniecki joined the Screen Actors Guild in hopes of being recruited for other movies, he said.

“It was "one of the coolest things I've ever done," Zyniecki said.

Oscar’s Smoke House preparing to reopen I had the pleasure this week of interviewing Jerry Quintal, an owner of Oscar ’s Smoke House, which is rebuilding after suffering a devastating fire last year. Many local businesses use Oscar's products and miss the taste and well made products. Quintal hopes to have a grand reopening Feb. 20. If you have driven by the building,you have seen that the new facility is substantially larger.

Quintal said it is only one floor now and they moved it back about 9 feet from its original site. The 9,300 square feet of building is much nicer, and the retail area is about triple the size that it used to be with three 8-foot display cases. Jerry said this new, spacious display will allow Oscar ’s to display more of the 120 products they offer. This year Oscar's sold 529 gift certificates compared to the normal 100 routinely sold during the holidays. The project is

now at the “hurry up and wait” stage, he said.. Waiting for inspections to be done so they can get their certificate of occupancy to open is what is time consuming at this point.

Oscar's, Quintal said, is one of the few smoked meat producers that dry cure their bacon — most producers use a wet cure process.The new smoker they have replaces the three to four old ones they used to operate, and will produce 2,500 pounds of meat or cheese at a time.

"We're ready," Jerry told me. Like many of us in the community, I wish the Quintal family and employees the best of luck.

Warrensburg Chamber seeking dues, ideas The Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce is now working on their 2010-11 directory, and according to Chamber president Cheryl Kenyon, only 32 members of the 100plus member organization have to date sent in their dues.

Those enterprises who haven’t yet made payment are asked to renew their membership soon, as the Chamber is seeking to get the directory printed and ready for June distribution.

Those who have any ideas on events, promotions or other activities the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce might pursue, send an email to info@Warrensburg Chamber.com or call 623-2161.

‘Undie Sunday’ slated at St. Cecilia’s Feb. 14 is designated “Undie Sunday” at St. Cecilia’s Catholic Church, and parishioners will be collecting toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks and underwear for children that are placed on an emergency basis in foster homes.

Parishioners have heard that often children are picked up for placement and bring virtually nothing with them, not even to cover basic needs. There will be a box in the narthex of the church for the community at large to deposit donations.

Village dissolution proposal talk revived Resident’s opinions sought

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The municipal leaders of Lake George are seeking the opinions of local residents before they take action on a proposal to dissolve the village government.

Residents of Lake George are urged to attend an informal public hearing Thursday Feb. 4 and air their views on the issue. This hearing will be followed up with a similar hearing the village is poised to schedule.

Also, the village board is likely to be discussing the issue at their next meeting 7 p.m. Monday Feb. 8.

Town Supervisor Frank McCoy said this week he and the town board members want to hear the will of the people to help the board decide what direction to take on the issue.

“We’re looking for input,” he said. “We need to know where our town residents want to go with this.”

Although only the village residents would be able to choose whether or not to dissolve, both governments are seeking to gauge public opinion before they hold a vote on the proposal. Scheduling a public referendum in March 2011 on dissolution has been under consideration.

A dissolution study conducted last year indicated that if the village were dissolved, taxes would go down 24 percent in the village — saving an average village homeowner $396 annually — but taxes would increase for town residents by 9 percent, an increase of $32 for the average household. Such a tax shift would occur in the early years, with savings increasing for all in subsequent years as the village’s debt is paid off. Primarily, savings would be reaped in the elimination of administrative jobs and costs, as many municipal services are now shared, the study concluded.

While there was enthusiasm initially to dissolve the village, this sentiment has waned recently after the town raised their tax levy for 2010 by 26 percent, and the village had a zero percent increase, Village Mayor Robert Blais said.

On the other hand, many town residents have been critical of the move because they don’t want to incur the longterm debt that exists on the village assets.

New Town Supervisor Frank McCoy said that when he was campaigning this fall, he heard widespread opposition to dissolution from town residents. Presently, the town board is split on whether they favor village dissolution.

Blais said he favors a solution that benefits all Lake George residents.

“It’s the village’s goal to hold an election for dissolution in March 2011,” he said. “This issue is still on the table at this point, but if there is no interest in it, we’ll change plans.”

Residents and tourists alike are urged to check with local authorities about whether lake ice is thick enough to safely support people, equipment or vehicles.

He said this week he plans to offer organic and natural foods — for take-out and for preparation at home.

Carnival From page 1 Lake George Village over the four weekends in February.

Carnival organizer Kathi Kokalas said the ice on the lake was thick enough this year for virtually all activities and fair weather was predicted. It nearly doubled in thickness over the past week, she said.

“This weekend’s going to be a great, fun, family event for a lot of different reasons,” she said. “I hear the weather ’s going to cooperate too.”

In addition to a full slate of both family activities and vehicular sports, this weekend’s Carnival offers a substantial new offering: Radio Disney.

Aimed at youth, the participatory show will include group dancing, karaoke and games for attendees from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Outhouse races, beginning at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, will feature teams, sponsored by local taverns, dragging outrageous homemade outhouses on a course down the ice atop Lake George. The fastest teams in various categories have traditionally enjoyed bragging rights for months in their hometown hangouts..

Both Saturday and Sunday, activities include tethered hot air balloon rides starting at 8:30 a.m. — weather permitting — and a variety of children’s activities and fun games on the ice from noon to 2 p.m. A giant ice slide in Shepard Park is available during daylight hours over the weekend.

The Carnival also includes a new Skydiving Swoop Competition daily over the frozen lake.

Also returning are tethered hot-air balloon rides, along with a new balloon “walk-around” for children that want to experience one close-up. This will be set up in the parking lot of King Neptune's tavern, inside which there will be crafts and games. These activities join the pony rides at the Children’s Petting Zoo, offered Saturday noon to 2 p.m.

Saturday also offers a Chicken Wing cook-off, with tasting and subsequent judging from noon to 2 p.m at Shepard Park Beach.

Registration for the outhouse races are held at Duffy’s Tavern beginning at 10 a.m. Race officials can be reached at 668-5323.

And what would Winter Carnival be without its trademark Polar Plunge? The event features dozens of brave swimmers dashing into the frigid lake — a favorite spectator event set for 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday. The

Competitors in the Lake George Winter Carnival’s annual outhouse race drag their creations across the ice towards the finish line. With the race sponsored by taverns in the region, winners ofthe competition annually enjoy bragging rights in their hometown hangouts.

Plunge is preceded at 2:30 p.m. by the Snowmobile Water Skip, in which a sled pilot careens over open waters for 100 yards or more, defying gravity that could sink his snowmobile into the icy waters.

Those who are interested in formalities can attend the Carnival’s opening ceremonies, set for noon at Shepard Park beach, complete with a skydiving patriotic salute.

In addition, a wood carving demonstration is held both Saturday and Sunday, noon to 2 p.m. Also featured is an encampment of military re-enactors, assuming roles of soldiers from the French & Indian War and wearing clothes and preparing food from the 1700s.

Proposed Stewart’s store involves historic Cunningham plot F

rom the end of the ice age to our present day, Warrensburgh has seen endless changes, and today, amid controversy, we might see the town altered yet again. The debate centers around weather a bustling Stewart’s convenience store with gas pumps should be relocated into the historic residential heart of the village. It is for every citizen to have their own opinion about this 1.2 acre lot across Stewart Farrar Ave. from the historic old Presbyterian Church. There have been several meetings recently among citizens who fear for their beloved town’s ambiance.

To give us perspective on the issue of Stewart’s plans to build the new store, let’s take a look at the history of that lot in question — and the house that once stood there — to give us some perspective on the issue.

A growing village When Benjamin Peck Burhans brought his tanning business to Warrensburgh in 1836, he brought prosperity with him and put the village solidly on the map. The town began to grow — and the house that until recently stood on the corner of present day Stewart Farrar Ave. and Main street was built in 1850 by Joseph Russell..

Attorney Thomas Cunningham married Mary E. Burdick, 22, in 1858 and he then purchased this house and enlarged it to two stories. To make it more elegant on a treelined street among stately mansions, he had four tall columns constructed across the front which faced Main St. His family lived there for several generations.

Destined for greatness Thomas Cunningham played a large part in Warrensburgh history. He was born in 1826 in the Town of Chesterfield, Essex County. He studied law with Kellogg & Hale of Elizabethtown and was admitted to the bar July 4, 1854.

That year, he moved to the rough little frontier village of Warrensburgh and established a law practice here.

The Plank Road extends north Cunningham became involved with the most important elements of the town’s development. The Plank Road Co. had been established as early as 1847. It was the link that connected Warrensburgh with the outside world in the days when mail had previously been carried on horseback through the Adirondack forest. The road consisted of heavy boards laid crossways on timbers over a graded surface and it finally arrived in Warrensburgh in 1849. It was not extended north into the Chestertown wilderness until after 1850. Well maintained, the road was the only land path to the North Country and because of the big Concord stagecoaches that held up to 30 people, the battered road had to be constantly repaired. Cunningham, a large stockholder in the road enterprise was in charge of the Lake George-Warrensburgh branch and by 1885 he was on the board of directors.

A man never idle Thomas Cunningham was one of the first trustees of the old Warrensburgh Academy in 1857 which stood about

where the health center offices stand today on the north corner of Stewart Farrar and Elm streets. In 1864 when Abraham Lincoln called for a quota of 500,000 more men to help resolve the “misunderstanding” between the north and south in the Civil War, Cunningham was on the committee to raise a bounty of $800 for each volunteer in this area.

Cunningham was at one time Warrensburgh Town Clerk, Deputy Revenue Collector, and District Attorney. He was Warrensburgh Town Supervisor for 15 years, on and off between 1861 and 1883. During that time, the population was about 1,700. Today the residents number nearly 4,500.

Farm in the town’s center As busy as Cunningham was, he and his wife, Mary found the time to raise seven children. There was Charles B., Frank, Fred, Harry, Robert, Maude and Alice Cunningham. In his later years, he spent a good portion of his time managing his farm as his land stretched from Main St. to Milton Ave. and lower Library Avenue.

He was 81 years old when he died in 1907 after a busy and productive life. His beloved wife, Mary died in 1915.

20th Century brings changes In 1902 his son Fred Cunningham controlled the land in the area of Ridge and Burdick streets. He cut up the land for building lots. All a man needed was to come up with $2 a week and he could be a landowner.

In April 1923, Robert Cunningham and Dr. C.B. Cunningham, with the help of surveyor H.D. Chambers, started selling lots in their development which stretched from Elm St. to Library Avenue Extension. The former convalescent home, “Cunningham Retreat” and later known as “Evergreen Haven” is still on Library Ave. facing Milton Ave. The house that is now across the street on the corner was once located on the lawn of the Cunningham homestead on Main St. and was used for Dr. C.B. Cunningham’s dental practice.

Maude Cunningham, born in 1876, was the last of the family to live in the family home on Main St at Stewart Farrar Ave. She was rumored to have been a very rich. I have heard she confided to friends that she enjoyed having money much more than she did spending it. She died in October, 1962.

Group lobbies to save Cunningham house The time of beautiful homes, quiet days, peace and tranquility were fast fading in the Queen Village in the early 1980’s when the former Cunningham house was once again owned by another lawyer, Walter Rehm, and the law offices of Rehm, Krantz, Jordan & DeSantis were located there. In May, 1988 Walter Rehm put it up for sale.

But Warrensburgh Beautification, an independent town enhancement committee headed by Teresa Whalen, sought to acquire the house and preserve it as a landmark of local history, and keep the historic and architectural character of the area intact.

They envisioned the building as a site for a local historical museum, and perhaps their group’s headquarters.

Saving the house from demolition also would block the construction of a commercial building which could be an

affront to the beautiful homes nearby.

Enterprising plans were made to possibly landscape that piece of property as well as the Grand Union area to enhance the aesthetic and historical qualities in the heart of town and restore a part of the glory that was once Warrensburgh. This would hopefully attract tourists and businesses, and make the town a more pleasant place to live, reminiscent of what the town once was in its golden years.

Home destroyed, HHHN builds parking lot Walter Rehm agreed to sell his building for $145,000 for historical use but sought $ 193,000 if it was converted to commercial use.

Warrensburgh Beautification members proposed to the town board to acquire the Cunningham house as a historic landmark. But the group’s plans fell on deaf ears The house and lot was sold to Jack and Polly Arehart and they sold it to the Hudson Headwaters Health Network which owned the former post office building at the back of the property adjacent to where the old Warrensburgh Academy once stood.

On Nov. 9 2000, after dawn, the house was attacked by bulldozers and demolished. It was a shock to the community. The home had existed in all or parts of three different centuries. Gone was the home’s rich history and its fine old handmade bricks, the stately columns, the tall windows, the aged but sturdy hemlock beams and planks, nailed in place with old-fashioned square nails by hands that were long dead. All that was left was twisted rubble.

On the plot where the historic Cunningham house once stood, Hudson Headwaters built an overflow parking lot for their billing office, and the lot is now primarily vacant.

Many residents remember this loss, and understand what happens when a village loses its historical landmarks — how a town’s ambiance and character can be diminished a little at a time, and it forever and irreversibly changes the quality of life.

Let’s learn from the past!

We’re more than a newspaper, We’re a community service.

BUSINESS OFFICE MANAGER....................................................................Cheryl Mitchell

Until year 2000, the Cunningham house, the homestead of Warrensburg founding father Thomas Cunningham, stood at the corner of Main St. and Stewart Farrar Ave. It was demolished that year to make way for a Hudson Headwaters overflow parking lot, which is now barely used. Stewart’s now wants to build a convenience store on the plot of land, and some residents are concerned that the store would irreversably change a historic district of town.

To the editor: On Feb. 1, I returned to my Trout Lake home after a shopping trip to find a message on my answering machine. It was my mail carrier telling me that she had left a package at my mailbox. After checking and rechecking, no package was ever found.

I called the Post Office and, after talking to my very sympathetic mail carrier, the sinking feeling set in that someone had taken my package.

It was further discerned that the package had been sent to me by my daughter living in Oregon. As it turns out, a handmade birthday gift that she had worked on for months had mysteriously disappeared after being delivered to my mail box on Trout Lake Rd. Certainly, this gift means nothing to the person who took it, but it means everything to this Mom who would have cherished it forever. I am writing to ask that person to look deep inside their heart and realize that what they did was a mistake.

I would be eternally grateful if the package was returned, in any condition. Just put it back where you found it. There will be no repercussions, only gratitude.

Nancy DiDonato Trout Lake

To the editor: On behalf of the newly-formed Citizens Committee Focused on the Future of Warrensburgh, I am making this statement to the residents and taxpayers of Warrensburg: Please send a message to our government leaders that you are concerned about the historic character of our town and its value to those who live, own businesses and would potentially invest in our community.

If the enforcement of our zoning ordinances is considered weak, if exceptions are made to suit whatever potential investor approaches the town regardless of the negative impacts that may be associated, and if our community does not come together with an organized plan to market all of the assets that Warrensburgh has to offer (otherwise known as “economic development”), then we are truly not “in harmony with our past” nor are we learning from it.

We need to learn from our past, act in the present and plan for the future of our community. Usually, quick fixes are not the answer, as we have seen time and again as businesses come and go, investors pass us by and our taxes increase as a result.

Let us look toward a long-term solution, and lay the groundwork now for future generations to inherit a revitalized community that we all are proud to call home.

OPINION • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 7 STAIRS GOT YOU DOWN? YOU NEED A STAIRLIFT!

Good government cannot exist in a vacuum

L

ast summer, First Lady Michelle Obama was criticized for having hired an “unprecedented number of staffers” to “cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession.”

An e-mail campaign followed that included information stating that with 22 staffers with combined annual salaries of $1.6 million, the First Lady had amassed an army of employees greater than any before her.

The e-mail claimed that prior first ladies had nowhere near as many employees, saying Jackie Kennedy, Rosalynn Carter and Laura Bush had just one while even Hillary Clinton had only three.

The truth, of course, lay somewhere in between.

When contacted by the national media, Katie McCormick Lelyveld, Michelle Obama’s press secretary, actually put the first lady’s office staff at 24.

That may indeed be the largest of any first lady to date.

But other assertions were way off. Hillary Clinton actually had 19 staffers answering directly to her, while Laura Bush wasn’t far behind with 18 and $1.4 million in annual salaries.

In this instance the media did its job. Disclosure not only gave Americans the facts to form their own conclusions but also dispelled the hearsay that all too often runs rampant in politics.

As common as this is at the federal level, it is perhaps even more so on the local level.

It is for this reason that I want to publicly commend our Essex County Board of Supervisors for tackling the sensitive issue of its own hiring practices by forming an ethics committee subject to public scrutiny.

Have there been instances in which relatives have received preferential treatment in obtaining a job at the county?

Personally, I don’t believe so. I know many hard working county employees I’d be proud to work alongside in the private sector. I honestly don’t believe anyone was handed a job simply because of their last name.

I believe County Manager Dan Palmer when he says — like any private sector employer — that a department head would want to choose the most qualified, hardest working person for the job.

After all, you’re only as good as the individuals you surround yourself with.

But do I believe the public has a right to know when a department head hires a direct relative or that of a county supervisor?

Definitely.

Unlike the private sector, county government is answerable to the taxpayer. To make informed decisions about elected officials and the policies they put in place, the public needs to know these facts.

More so, they have the right to know.

If for nothing else than, as in the case of Obama, to dispel the vicious rumors that propagate when government exists in a vacuum.

Good government is open government, and it should be the job of not only the media but the public as a whole to demand that.

Following the article we published a few weeks ago reporting that Sandy Lewis addressed the county board urging full disclosure with the county’s hiring practices, we were criticized on a number of fronts.

We were criticized for singling out people.

We were criticized for not having the facts straight when the article first broke — for sensationalizing a non-issue in the interest of “selling papers.” (My personal favorite, considering our papers are free.)

Valid arguments, although ones I would dispute. The facts in this case were anything but easy to acquire, and they remain not fully disclosed to this day.

Nevertheless, Lewis and the subsequent media coverage at least started a dialogue — one that has led to greater transparency.

Call it the journalist in me — but I can’t see the downside to that.

Multi-stacking to magnify those savings

I

n previous columns, I’ve discussed coupon stacking at great length. It’s one of the easiest ways not only to reduce the cost of items we’re buying but also to get items for free.

Many stores allow shoppers to stack one store coupon and one manufacturer coupon together, which gives us an even deeper discount on the same item. Just a few days ago I purchased a $2.50 tube

By Jill Cataldo of toothpaste. I used a $1.50 manufacturer coupon for the toothpaste and I added to it a $1 store-issued coupon for the same toothpaste. With a total of $2.50 in coupon value, the toothpaste was free! And free is, of course, my favorite price to pay.

Store coupons are offered in different formats, so it’s important to note which kinds your stores offer. Do some research. Many stores print their store coupons in a weekly flyer. Others offer printable coupons on the store’s Web site.

Still others offer store coupons electronically. These electronic coupons can be loaded to your shoppers’ card and stacked with manufacturer coupons for additional savings.

Now, when we combine coupon stacking with other deals running at the store at the same time, our savings increase even more. What’s better than stacking? Multi-stacking!

When we multi-stack at the store, we use both store and manufacturer coupons and take advantage of additional moneyback deals involved. These additional deals typically offer instant savings at the register or a money-back coupon (commonly called a Catalina) that prints at the register for savings on a subsequent shopping trip.

Here’s an example. One of my stores recently advertised a sale offering a Catalina coupon good for $5 off your next shopping trip if you purchased any two items in the flyer.

When I see an advertisement like this, I immediately look for the items that are going to be the best deals — typically, the items for which I already have both store and manufacturer coupons.

During this particular sale, the store had triple-packs of baby wipes on sale for $5.99. Buying two items in the promotion will earn me a $5 coupon for my next shopping trip.

To keep track of my savings, I always figure that $5 savings into my current shopping trip. I may pay that $5 out-of-pocket at the register to buy these items today but I get it right back in the form of a Catalina good for $5 off my next shop-

Coupon Queen

ping trip. So, buying two packages of wipes costs $11.98 but I’ll get $5 of that back at checkout. That essentially brings the cost of the two packages of wipes down to $6.98 for 2 packages.

To bring the price down further, we’re going to stack coupons here, too! I had a manufacturer coupon for $2 off 2 packages of wipes. The wipes were also on my electronic store coupons for $1.50 off each package. So, stacking these coupons together yields another $5 in savings.

After coupons, I paid $6.98 for the two triple-packs of baby wipes and I received the $5 Catalina coupon at the register. Since I got $5 of my original $6.98 back, the end cost of these two items was just $1.98! Triple-packs of baby wipes at less than a dollar a package? That’s a great price … made possible by multi-stacking!

Consider that each triple-pack started out at $5.99 before all of these discounts were put together.

Any time I see sales at the supermarket that involve money-back promotions, I always look for both store and manufacturer coupons to help reduce the final price I pay even further. In the weeks ahead, I’ll show you more examples of multistacking and explain how to make the most out of these promotions.

ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 8

Attorney with local roots wins pivotal legal case BOSTON — Attorney Robin Olson Gotshall, formerly of Brant Lake, was honored recently by her law firm, SeyfarthShaw for her significant victory that allowed political asylum for a woman and her daughter from Guinea.

Attorney Gotshall received notice this week from the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security that her client's application for political asylum had been granted.

Gotshall said this an incredible moment for the client, who was enslaved in Guinea at age 7 and endured a lifetime of forced labor and physical and emotional abuse.

Gotshall faced a number of significant obstacles in this pro-bono case.

The client had missed the one-year filing deadline by several years before the firm agreed to take the case from the organization Political Asylum & Immigration Representation Project, or PAIR. In addition, two rulings from the federal Board of Immigration Appeals destroyed well-established grounds for

asylum upon which Gotshall had hoped to rely, forcing her to craft a new legal argument based on the clients status as a member of the social group of female Guinean domestic workers.

The fact-gathering process for this case proved to be an intense, time- consuming process, Gotshall said, which involved gaining the trust of this fragile client and helping her to recall the painful details of events which began when she was just a child. Gotshall’s legal work spanned 15 months and hundreds of hours. Gotshall was able to obtain asylum for the client on her first application, a rare feat in this type of case, especially in light of the obstacles faced and the unprecedented nature of the client's claim.

The client will now be able to remain and work in the U.S., and will be able to spare her three-year-old daughter from the kind of persecution she suffered, Gotshall said.

“This was a life-affirming event for me,” Gotshall said. “By far, it was the most important thing I’ve accom-

Dining &

Robin Olson Gotshall plished in my 10 years of practicing law — It’s a gift to be in a position to change someone’s life like that.”

Gotshall, the daughter of Robert and Jean Olson of Brant Lake, received her law degree from Cornell Law School and currently resides in Pelham, New Hampshire. She and her husband have three sons.

State officials deny that North Country is budgetary ‘scapegoat’

By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com ALBANY — Officials from the state government’s Executive Branch are challenging a widespread assertion that Gov. David Paterson’s 2010-2011 Executive Budget unfairly targets the sparsely populated North Country region.

Ever since Paterson released the draft budget Jan. 6, the region’s local and state elected officials have chastised the governor.

They have claimed he is using the North Country as the state’s budgetary whipping post in an election year by closing state-run institutions — slashing far too many jobs, more than are being cut elsewhere in the state.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said this week that the proposed closure of three North Country prisons, including the Moriah Shock Correctional Facility, is a prime example, especially considering no other prisons in other regions of the state have been targeted for closure.

“Why not Summit Shock Camp? Why not Monterey? Why not Lake View? Why not these other shock camps located elsewhere in the state?” he said. “Of course when I asked, I didn’t get any answers. I’m going to call them out on their budget numbers.”

Scozzafava said the Governor ’s bias towards downstate was evident in the fact that the operating cost of the Moriah Shock Facility — which has been touted as a shining success in corrections — doesn’t amount to a fraction of a percent in the total state budget.

Moriah Shock Facility employs 117 local residents. Scozzafava called it the economic lifeblood of the community.

Combined with the additional closures of Lyon Mountain prison in Clinton County, Butler Correctional Facility in Wayne County and Ogdensburg prison in St. Lawrence County, Paterson expects to save the state $3 million in 20102011 and $45.8 million in 2011-2012, when most of the closures are slated to occur.

If adopted, the closures will result in the loss of 480 jobs upstate.

But state Office of the Budget spokesman Matt Anderson argued this week that the belief that the North Country is slated to experience more pain than the rest of the state just isn’t true.

“We think that’s it’s a balanced approach and we asked for shared sacrifice from every region and every New Yorker ,” he said. “We think it’s a plan that helps us close a very substantial $7 billion budget deficit in a smart and targeted way.”

Anderson said that the entire state is experiencing significant cuts in municipal aid, state employment and state-run collegiate funding streams.

Earlier this week, local state Senator Betty Little said that it appears that the politically influential New York City region is getting off relatively easy in Paterson’s proposed budget.

But Anderson contends that Paterson wants to eliminate all AIM general municipal aid funding to New York City, representing a $301.7 million loss in the city’s revenue.

And like their Upstate peers, New York City officials also feel unjustly taken advantage of.

“New York City for example has been particularly vocal because we have eliminated their AIM program,” Anderson said. “We tried to target our reductions by what we believe makes sense from a policy standpoint and New York City has a broad range of revenue sources.”

The proposed budget only calls for reductions of between 2 and 5 percent in AIM funding for the rest of the state when compared to 2009-2010.

Because of the strength of the city’s tax base, AIM funding represents just .5 percent of New York’s overall budget, while it is roughly 25 percent of the budgets of Yonkers and Buffalo.

He also notes that the most significant cuts proposed by the governor, like the $1.1 billion reduction in aid to school districts and $1 billion reduction in healthcare funding, are across-the-board cuts, affecting the entire state evenly.

And when it comes to the local prison closures, Anderson said it doesn’t make sense to transport inmates so far up north when many of them are from other regions with state facilities close by.

“The inmate population continues to drop and the state taxpayer dollars are financing a prison system that is below capacity,” Anderson said. “It all relates to the broader fiscal crisis and I think most taxpayers would agree that they shouldn’t continue to fund prisons that are below capacity.”

The Moriah Shock Correctional Facility currently houses 131 inmates.

In concert with Little, Assemblywomen Teresa Sayward and Janet Duprey have vowed to fight the prison closures.

Debate among state legislators about Paterson’s cuts have already begun and are expected to last well into the coming spring.

ALBANY — State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Alexander “Pete” Grannis told legislators Tuesday that his agency is not considering charging hikers who frequent state land.

Grannis' comments were prompted by a line of questioning by local state Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward at a joint hearing of the Senate and Assembly Environmental Conservation committees.

“I know that people like to hike on the land for free, but there are funding difficulties that are related to that, like trail maintenance and rescue operations,” Sayward said. “Has there been any further talk about having a fee for hikers?”

“There has not,” Grannis said. “We haven’t even figured out how we would be able to do that.”

The current draft Executive Budget calls for a 13 percent reduction in DEC’s operating budget in 2010-2011, which includes the elimination of dozens of DEC positions.

Grannis said that there are some potential methods of revenue generation, citing a recent report from the Office of the State Comptroller that found that New York misses out on $5 million in annual income that could be earned by allowing sustainable logging.

He also called for an increased reliance on the department’s website for across-theboard permitting and fee collection, which could free up staff for other activities and centralize much of DEC’s administrative activities.

At present, only state residents who are buying a hunting or fishing license for the first time can do so online.

Sayward said that more emphasis should be placed on increasing fee collection for outof-state residents.

The DEC website receives 25,000 hits per day.

Grannis said that the DEC receives significantly more Freedom of Information requests than the typical state agency, and responding to them has become very costly.

“There is an incredible amount of interest in what we do — Some of it comes from private citizens, some of it comes from business interests,” Grannis said, noting they can be complicated and burdensome.

“We are obligated to respond to these FOIL requests.”

He said DEC handles five times more FOIL requests than any other state agency, many of which are from private corporations and individuals involved in lawsuits seeking information for their own benefit.

Like the permitting and fee payments, he said that there needs to be an increased focus on making information available to the public without requiring significant staff labor.

Last year, hunting and fishing licenses significantly increased, as did snowmobile registration fees.

Ever Lasting Valentines Sky so violent and blue, Love should never be cruel, Quarrels occur from time to time, Still love should always be true.

The moon is pearlish white, Stars are glittering in the sky, The feeling tonight is not the same, For love is in the air.

Gifts received and given, Words of love are whispered, Just gazing at the other half, Love had drunken them.

Although this day will leave us, True love always stays, Days may pass, flowers may wither, Yet true love lasts forever.

SATURDAY February 6, 2010

A Red Rose By, Robert Burns O my Luve’s like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June; O my Luve’s like the melodie That’s sweetly played in tune.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun; I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o’ life shall run.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry:

And fare thee weel, my only Luve, And fare thee weel awhile!

So dear I love him that with him, All deaths I could endure.

Without him, live no life.

Different Types of Love Symbols • Apple: it not only symbolizes love, but also stands for fertility and abundance.

There are series of stories one can find apple played a pivotal role in making the love bloom. The Greek god of wine, Dinoysus once offered apple to Aphrodite to woo and win her love. The apple also signifies feminine beauty and love. In China, apple is a symbol for adoration and peace.

• Cupid is a Greek word that means desire.

Many times cupid is shown blindfolded in famous paintings and art that symbolizes the blindness that people suffer when they are in love. Cupid struck lovers go crazy in love.

Ever wondered why people fall in love?

What makes them fall in love with each other? There’s a reason behind everyone falling in love and they say it’s Cupid, the mischievous son of the Goddess of Love, Venus. Venus is responsible for making two people fall in love. Legend says when someone gets hit by Cupid’s arrow then they fall in love with the person he/she sees first.

During the Valentine’s Day, beautiful cupid centerpieces and showpieces are commonly gifted by the lovers to each other. Cupid painting, greeting cards, wallpapers, wallpapers and screensavers are popular with love mates.

• Harp is one of oldest musical instruments and thus symbolizes love equal to poetry, art and music. The harp also stands for mythical connection of Celtic civilization that represents a bridge between earth and the

heaven. Similarly, in Iceland and Norway, the strings of the harp represent ladder that symbolizing the elevated states of love and path showing the way to paradise.

• Love Birds and Doves: It’s commonly believed that on the Valentine’s Day, birds found their mates. Doves signify purity, meekness and innocence. Love birds and doves are the endearing symbols of the spirit of the Valentine’s Day. Beautiful centerpieces of these two birds made of glasses and ceramics adorn gift shops. They make popular Valentine day gifts celebrating the essence of love.

• Rose: You say ‘I Love You’ and the picture of a boy giving red rose to a girl comes in our mind. Love is synonymous to red roses. Roses are the ultimate form of expression of love. Proposals and love affairs are incomplete without the exchange of red roses. Rose is said to be the queen of flowers. It symbolizes peace, love and forgiveness. Valentine’s Day, the day of love, celebrated on February 14th, is the perfect time to send roses and romantic gifts to your loved ones. Roses

• Love Knot: Young women in strict Muslim households used to send their pledges of love to young men through messages woven through the knots of a carpet in an Arab tradition. This tradition of sending messages through the knots gave birth to the concept of love knots that continues to this day.

• Heart: It is the most common and most widely recognized symbol of love. The heart is considered as the sole “culprit” when people fall in love. Love blooms when two hearts meet. It’s the pure magic of love that captivates hearts and love happens at first sight. In the game of love it’s only the heart that rules. We are the puppets and we do exactly what our heart says. Musical Hearts, greeting cards featuring hearts and love poems describing feelings of your heart are popular amongst love couples. Over the decade hearts have inspired poets and writers to write memorable pieces of art on it.

Undoubtedly heart pierced by the cupid’s arrow is one the most famous and recognizable valentine’s symbols.

come in 72 different colors and each color of rose expresses different emotions. Yellow rose is for friendship, white rose is for peace. Black roses mean farewell. Pink roses mean friendship or sweetheart. Interestingly red rose is for love. On the Valentine’s Day the importance of the red rose is evident when you see young lovers flocking the florists shop to buy flowers and give it to their sweetheart. You too be one of those mad lovers and delight your sweetheart with bouquet of red roses.

Cuts From page 1 nearly 130 jobs between the state Department of Environmental Conservation, the Adirondack Park Agency and the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation will leave the state agencies unable to manage what they already own. The cuts, he said, represent a disproportionate burden on environmental programs.

“Across 24 state agencies and offices in the state, a total of 630 full-time jobs are being cut,” Woodworth said. “Remember, over 130 are being cut from our environmental and park agencies.”

Democratic legislators, including Long Island Assemblyman Steven Engelbright vowed to restore the EPF funding and salvage the environmental programs. He said state leaders needed to reassure citizens a “positive future” existed for them in New York State.

“The last thing we need to do is have our parks become a big neon billboard that says New York is collapsing, run for your lives,” he said.

State Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Com-

missioner Carol Ash told legislators that Paterson's proposed cuts would result in the closure of dozens of parks throughout the state.

And although legislators said that they are hoping to restore at least some of the EPF funding, they were less resolute in their opposition to the land acquisition moratorium.

According to DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis, the current EPF proposal would allow procuring state easements, but not outright fee acquisitions.

Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber and Adirondack Local Government Review Board Executive Director Fred Monroe also testified before the joint committee.

Farber argued that in-park land acquisitions have been made hastily.

“We need to make sure that we have done sufficient planning, that we are confident that when we spent millions of dollars on land in the Adirondacks, it’s the right thing to do,” Farber said. “We have to know the economic impacts, the impacts on affordable housing.”

For Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, the implications of continued state land acquisitions are clear.

“Our communities are struggling — Economic develop-

SATURDAY February 6, 2010 ment is almost nothing other than tourism,” Sayward said.

Sayward serves as ranking Republican on the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee. “Unless you own the motel, hotel or store, you are making minimum wage and as a result, we are losing families.”

Democratic Assemblyman Kevin Cahill argued the Legislature isn’t always the enemy of Adirondack residents.

“The Governor ’s decisions to offer a moratorium on land acquisition will prevent us from being able to acquire very fragile lands in other places across the state,” Cahill said.

“While I sympathize with the plight of the North Country communities and recognize that this has been an ongoing struggle for many years, I think it is important to remember that there are friends here in the Legislature.”

Wrangling over Paterson’s proposed budget is expected to increase substantially in the coming weeks.

Deer take numbers to be released this month

S

A woodland playground refound

O

ver the course of the past week, I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy a number of winter ’s recreational, pleasures, from skiing to skating to snowshoeing to sledding and more. Regardless of the deep freeze that settled in last week, skiers and skaters, sledBuffalo Rock is a huge glacial erratic loders and anglers cated at the base of the cliffs of Cobble were out in force.

While snow depths Hill in Elizabethtown. still vary considerably depending on the location, there remains plenty of the white stuff to go around.

In fact, in the Champlain Valley, a new record was established as January’s accumulated snowfall of 48.5 inches set an historic standard for the month. But before the climate change naysayers attempt to use the new record as evidence to refute global warming; it is important to note that 28.5 inches of the snowfall was delivered in just one storm.

We should not forget that the oddball weather also delivered over two inches of rain, flash floods, 50 mph gale force winds and 55-degree days, in January. Such extremes provide an alarming indication of the weather we can expect in the future. It is a more reliable index than the freak snowstorm that dumped over two feet of snow.

The experts agree that with continued climate change, such extremes in weather will no longer be considered extreme. In fact, such oddities are likely to become the norm as thaws and heavy rains, soaring heat and extended droughts combine with bitter cold, biting winds and deep snows in an escalating, seesaw pattern of variations in weather.

The Adirondacks will experience earlier ice outs and fewer ski days, wetter summers and hunting seasons that pass with little or no snow cover. Drier springs and searing summers will bring lower water levels and deplete oxygen content. Oxygen deficient fish will become sluggish and algae growth will flourish. The effects of climate change will bring major affects to our traditional patterns of outdoor recreation.

The decade of the 1990’s delivered the warmest weather in recorded history, following on the tail of the 1980’s and the ‘70’s. The changes will occur in our lifetime and will impact everything from tourism to transportation and flood control to home heating. We may actually be living in a time that will be known as “the good old days.”

Such thoughts were on my mind last week, as I snowshoed through a mixed hardwood forest on my way to visit some old familiar, childhood haunts located on Cobble Hill in Elizabethtown. Elizabeth Lee, a local guide, naturalist and outdoor writer from Westport accompanied me on the trip.

The purpose of the trek, beyond the simple pleasures of enjoying the winter woods, was to revisit the site of the many boyhood adventures I had experienced in a wild, boulder strewn, landscape located at the base of Cobble Hill’s sheer cliffs.

Although it is considered just a mere hill, Cobble dominates the local landscape and looms large over the village, in the valley below. In the eyes of the local

kids, it was huge. It was our Mount Marcy and every climb was an adventure.

Wood Hill, set on the opposite side of town, was by comparison, a pipsqueak.

Although snowshoes weren’t necessary to navigate the limited snow cover in the lower elevations of the Boquet Valley, the ‘shoes proved beneficial the higher we went. The climb was short but steep and we were at the base of the cliffs in less than an hour ’s time.

Memories from boyhood days bounced around in my noggin as we crested a small rise overlooking the village of Elizabethtown and the Pleasant Valley beyond.

I winced with the realization that my last visit had occurred when my daughter was just six years old and it was hard to swallow the fact that she’ll soon be graduating college in the spring.

The climb to Cobble was always one of my favorites.

Peering down on the valley below, you couldn’t see many people, and if you did; they were very small and far away and they didn’t much matter.

We were boys then, without the cares, responsibilities and common grievances of grown men. We played among the boulders and in caves, which sheltered ice all summer long. The place offered mystery and an escape from the summer ’s heat.

There was Hollow Rock, a towering, forty-foot monolith with a small cave in the pitted stone and a short distance beyond laid the Buffalo Stone, a near perfect, natural sculpture that resembled a buffalo at rest.

This was a playground in my youth, and it looked the same, with forests, cliffs and caves. As I negotiated my way over, through and around the vast expanse of snowcovered boulders, it became difficult to disguise my delight.

I had the sensation of viewing the scene through a child’s eyes. Though the hollowed cave was much smaller than I remembered, in retrospect, it was likely because I’d grown so much larger. But Buffalo Rock, it was still huge!

It was enjoyable to share the journey with a friend and to recall those younger days, which often feel so far away.

Yet on such familiar ground, it was easy to recapture the mood, the excitement of discovery and the sheer pleasure of again sharing a ‘secret spot’ with someone for the first time. And I will admit, it was encouraging to know that I can still make it back up there.

Amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life, adults often forget the definition of recreation, a process of re-creating and re-learning how to play. It is a vital exercise that is restorative of self and spirit and when practiced in a woodland setting; it can be especially effective in enabling one to recapture their youth.

The famed psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, once a visitor to the Adirondacks, defined wilderness as “a special place, where a man can become lost and yet find himself in the process.”

It’s good for the soul to become lost on occasion, even if it is difficult to erase that wide grin from your face upon being found.

Darryl Stout of Valley Road in Upper Jay took this awesome photo Jan. 22 of a large Bobcat which was hunting mice outside the glass doors of his home. Stout said he lives on the west side of Valley Road, about half way between Trumbulls and Glenn.

tate environmental officials should be releasing deer harvest figures for 2009 any day now, but indications are that northern zone totals could be down by as much as 20 percent.

DEC Wildlife Biologist Ed Reed said he’s been told by Albany staff to expect deer take results “in early February.”

If the indications ring true, the overall northern zone take could be in the neighborhood of 27,000-29,000 deer, down from 33,938 in 2008 and 31,797 in 2007.

Nevertheless, the DEC believes statewide totals will remain fairly flat from 2008, or slightly below the 222,979 deer taken during the 2008 season. That compares to 219,141 taken in 2007, and 189,108 in 2006. The highest total came in 2002 when hunters took 308,216 deer, 128,292 of which were bucks.

Reed attributed the poor northern zone take to difficult weather conditions, saying the deer simply weren’t moving as much during daylight hours.

From my personal experience, that certainly was the case, although some areas that got hit hardest by harsh conditions last winter seemed to have less deer this season than usual.

Near my home in Westport, however, the deer are out in force. I counted 37 merrily feeding away in one field a few evenings ago. It doesn’t appear as if last winter had much of an effect on the herd there.

Silver Bullet Meanwhile, Dick Johndrow, AKA “Silver Bullet,” sent me a photo of a massive 20-pointer he scored for a 41year-old hunter from Long Island.

It is pictured above.

Johndrow serves as measurer chairman for the New York State Big Buck Club. The 20-pointer, taken with a bow on Oct. 26, 2009 by Bjorn Holubar, scored a net Boone & Crockett 202 and 5/8 inches, making it the number two non-typical buck killed with a bow in the state.

The deer weighed 210 pounds, had 10 non-typical points including a unique drop tine and had an inside spread of 20 and 3/8 inches.

The deer was dropped at 43 yards with a Bowtech Mighty Mite Bow and a 100-grain Muzzy broadhead.

Bjorn, according to Johndrow, hunted a total of 60 days last fall.

Colby Classic The Saranac Lake Fish and Game Club will host the 26th annual Colby Classic Ice Fishing Derby the weekend of March 6-7. The derby starts at 7 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. each day.

Boys Varsity Basketball

Warriors score overtime win in comeback battle Lake George 40, Fort Edward 36 LAKE GEORGE — In a suspenseful, hard-fought effort, the Lake George Warriors Varsity Boys Basketball team won a comeback 40-36 victory, defeating Fort Edward Jan. 29 in overtime.

Despite frustrating, low-scoring defensive game play with a large number of missed shots, the Warriors were able to secure the win and preserve the No. 2 spot in the Adirondack League’s Western Division.

“It was a total team effort,” Warrior coach Dave Jones said. His team is runner-up at this point to division-leading Corinth. “It was one of those games where we didn’t play our best, but we were able to find a win.”

Fort Edward played aggressively against the Warriors, leading them until Senior Forward Matt McGowan hit a shot with about 3:20 left in the game.

Fort Edward had opportunities to win in regulation, and they would have won had it not been for some critical defensive work

by McGowan, Jones said.

“Down the stretch Matt had a few key blocks,” he said.”Our defense was a critical factor in the win.”

In overtime, Lake George players redoubled their efforts.

McGowan and Alex Hladik hit a basket apiece — although the Forts struck back to keep the game within two points — and J.D. Jenkins hit a shot to give Lake George a 36-33 lead with 1:13 left.

Erik Jones added two foul shots to give the Warriors the secure margin they needed.

With the win, the Warriors boosted their record to 8-2 in the league, 10-3 overall.

Jeff Maldonado led Lake George with 10 points. Hladik and McGowan scored eight apiece, Matt Stover scored six, Chambers added four, Jones and Jenkins contributed two each. Aaron Chambers and Hladik scored one three-pointer each.

Fort Edward’s Nick Abare finished with a game-high 13 points and 10 rebounds.

Jones declined to speculate about his team’s rematch Wednesday Feb. 10 against Corinth. Last meetup, the Warriors lost in double-overtime.

“We’re not going to jump ahead,” he said, noting his team was slated to play North Warren Wednesday, and will be taking on Luzerne Friday. “We’re concerned about this week.”

If Warriors win the Corinth matchup, it would force a Western Division playoff game.

Jones said his team is gaining experience on how to pull a win out of grueling, difficult games like Friday’s against the Forts.

“We are moving forward, learning to perform better in tough situations,” he said. “All this experience is valuable.”

Whitehall 49, North Warren 37 WHITEHALL — Winding down their basketball season, Whitehall hotshots Chris Theirren and Richard Tisi combined for 34 points and a slew of rebounds, leading their team in a 49-37 Adirondack League win Jan. 29 over North Warren. Tisi’s baskets included four three-pointers.

Joe Aiken led the Cougars with 15 points, Jeff Bennett scored 11, Benn Frasier added six, Travis Monroe contributed four, Bryan Beckler added three, and Kristian Seeley chipped in two. Aiken hit a three-pointer in the effort.

With the loss, North Warren drops to 4-10 overall.

Fort Ann 62, Warrensburg 45 FORT ANN — The Fort Ann Boys Basketball team utilized a balanced offense and a stonewall defense Jan. 29 to defeat Warrensburg 62-45 on the Cardinals home court.

Sharp shooting Fort Ann teammates Joe Foran scored 12 points and Jim Shevy scored 11 points.

The Cardinal’s defense was able to contain Burgher high-scorer Brendan Frye, who has scored as many as 33 points in a single game this year, to a mere 9 points.

Mike Curtis led Warrensburg with 11 points, followed by Bryan Belden and Frye with nine each, John Joseph with eight, Mike Perrone with four, followed by Ben Nicols and Hunter Werner with two each. Curtis hit one three-pointer in the effort.

With the loss, Warrensburg moved to 6-5 in the league — the same season record as Fort Ann — and 8-6 overall.

Bolton 61, Wells 29 WELLS — The Bolton Eagles proved the depth and power of their offense Jan. 25 as they overpowered Wells 61-29. Tyler Calzada and Matt Peterson each scored 13 points in the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference matchup. Peterson’s buckets included three treys.

Dom Pfau, typically a top scorer, took a secondary offensive role in the matchup. He contributed nine points for the victory.

Known to score four or more three-pointers in a game, he hit one Friday night. Also scoring for the Eagles were Caleb Kneeshaw with six points, Todd Markham, Bill Smith, Matthew Smith and Mitchell Jordan with four points apiece, followed by Andy Smith and Freshman Dustin French with two each.

Shane Raymond scored a game-high 14 points for Wells.

With the win, Bolton stepped up to 7-3 in the conference, 10-5 overall.

Girls Varsity Basketball Lake George outruns Fort Edward for 55-38 victory Lake George 55, Fort Edward 38 FORT EDWARD — Lake George employed a late offensive attack Jan. 29 to defeat Fort Edward 55-38 and boost their Adirondack League record in girls basketball.

With the win, Lake George is now 82 in the League, 8-5 overall.

The Warriors experienced tough competition from the Forts, who closed out the third period trailing by a slim 30-28 margin.

But the Warriors got into gear for the final minutes, outscoring the Forts 248 to seal the victory.

Sara Anderson led the way with a game-high 16 points. The balanced effort featured Kelly Flaherty contributing 12 points and Caroline Murphy adding 11, Brittany Baker scoring eight — including a three-pointer, Chelsea Sipowicz six, and Erin Blunt two.

Whitehall stays undefeated Whitehall 56, North Warren 25 CHESTERTOWN — Adirondack League star Brittany St. Clair of Whitehall and her teammates worked in concert to keep their team undefeated as the Railroaders beat North Warren 5625.

Whitehall launched their effort with a 15-2 first quarter, setting the tone for the game.

Their defense smothered the Cougars’ top shooters, allowing teammate Junior Morgan Tennyson step up into the spotlight with a team-high eight points, which included two three-pointers. She was followed by Kiera Warner with five points, Lindsey Meade with four, Laura Fahey, Katherine Andonucci and Cassie Maday with two apiece, and Sarah Erickson and Kelsey Hamblin with one each.

North Warren drops a notch to 5-6 in the Adirondack League, 8-6 overall, the best record in years for the Cougars.

The Burghers tough defense prompted the Cardinals to hit three treys from afar.

Senior Forward Kate Taddeo and Eighth Grade Guard Brittany DeCrescente tallied eight points apiece for the Burghers. They were assisted by Sophomore Ashlie Morehouse with six, Sophomore Jaci O’Brien with four and Sophomore Tessa Acuna with three. Four other teammates hit two points in the balanced effort.

SATURDAY February 6, 2010

Haiti From page 1 protective concrete wall around the orphanage collapsed, Corriveau said.

“We thank God, the orphanage was one of the few buildings that stood up in the earthquake,” he said. “People say it was a miracle.”

Back in Warrensburg in the hours after the quake, Jim and Beth Corriveau were glued to their computer to receive updates on the orphans, particularly news about Jean, who they were in the process of adopting before the quake ripped apart life in Haiti.

Minutes after the quake, the Corriveaus were on the Internet, attempting to secure a plane flight to Haiti to see if the bureaucratic red tape could be avoided, so they could bring Jean safely to Warrensburg.

Just because the children’s lives were spared didn’t mean life was easy for Jean and the other orphans — In the days after the quake, desperate looters with machine guns raided the orphanage, taking the children’s rations and water.

Although a Fox News Crew moved into the orphanage thereafter and offered some protection, life and safety didn’t improve much for the children.

Four days after the earthquake, the first emergency rations arrived for the hungry, thirsty children.

The delivery consisted of a mere five bottles of PediaLite — water with electrolytes — to nourish 133 children.

The adoption process was officially completed for Jean and many of the other orphans, but the children had no Visas, which they’d need to leave the country, Corriveau said.

Jean’s older “brother,” in the orphanage, 9-year-old Jacksene, had come home with the Corriveaus about four months earlier after a four-year adoption process had been launched. The Corriveaus had been seeking to adopt Jean since he was about 18 months old.

Without question, the Corriveaus were under a lot of stress, as they had no idea of whether they’d be able to retrieve their child, many hundreds of miles away in Haiti.

“Our emotions were tense,” he said.”We were worried about Jean and the other children. We felt the kids were in a snafu of paperwork.”

At 11:30 a.m. Jan. 23, a phone call woke the Corriveaus, and they jumped from their bed. It was a call from the orphanage director, urging then to take a flight out of Orlando that was now available. Beth Corriveau started booking the flight via computer, while Jim packed a bag.

That afternoon, Jim Corriveau ended up in a military airport in Haiti, waiting for hours while children went through a process to issue or certify Visas for the children.

Eighty of the 133 children were on the eligible list.

Jim Corriveau waited through the night to even get a glimpse of his child at the emigration center, located at the airport. He hesitated to take a nap on the floor, which he did at one point, because he didn’t want to miss being matched up with Jean.

With a case number taped to his chest, Jean emerged through a door at about 5 a.m. wearing a tentative expression.

“When Jean got through the process, I saw him come toward me, and I let out a bellow,” Jim Corriveau said. “It was like an electric jolt of absolute elation, that this whole ordeal might be coming to a close.”

Corriveau tossed Jean up on his shoulders and ran around the airport with him, he recalled.

“Jean was hooting and hollering, we ran down the hall, he was riding his horse, very giggly and happy,” Corriveau said, noting his happiness was tinged with sorrow for the other children and parents, considering the emigration process halted just after Jean emerged.

Since then, Haiti has shut down all adoptions, Corriveau said last week. A Website said Tuesday the government has halted adoptions that were in process, and 400 children of the For His Glory organization are in limbo.

Leaving Haiti on Monday Jan. 25 with Jean, Corriveau was in Albany at 2 a.m. the next day.

Jean had never been on a plane before, and he was awestruck by soaring above the clouds, Corriveau said. In the airport, he pressed his face to the window of a pastry shop, experiencing sights and smells he had never before encountered.

“He was fascinated with every sight, just overwhelmed,” Corriveau said. “It was fun to watch.”

When he woke up after his first night at the Corriveaus’ Warrensburg home, Jean was disoriented a little, until he saw his “big brother” Jacksene who ran down the stairs with a friendly greeting, Corriveau said.

“Within minutes, the two were running around the house, ripping things up,” Corriveau laughed. “It’s like having a tornado in the house.”

Their interest in Haiti began years ago, when the Corriveaus started taking mission trips to Haiti with members of the Caldwell Presbyterian Church of Lake George and Rockwell Falls Presbyterian Church in Lake Luzerne.

“We became very attached to the people of Haiti and the plight they were in,” Corriveau said this week about his years of work trips to Haiti, and the subsequent adoption.

Jacksene’s dad had given the boy up for adoption, after the boy’s mother died, so he could be educated and have a better life in the U.S. As a toddler, Jean had been found unconscious at the bottom of a ravine, abandoned, with a head wound.

Tuesday, the two boys were frolicking at the Corriveau house, exploring, chattering in Creole, and playing impromptu “congas” together — pounding syncopated rhythms on an empty soda cooler.

Intermittently, Beth and Jim’s teenage children, Laura, 18. Lindsay, 16, and Aubrey, 13, offered spontaneous English lessons and helpful advice on life in the U.S. Laura said the boys had virtually no education in Haiti.

“They had no concept of what letters stood for,” she said.

Jacksene is enrolled in 3rd grade at Warrensburg Elementary, and Jean is in a kindergarten-level English instruction class offered through BOCES.

ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 19 Corriveau is a music instructor at Warrensburg Central, and Beth is a full-time mother, supplemented by serving as organist at Caldwell Presbyterian Lindsay said life has changed with Jean at home.

InBrief

Schroon accident fatal SCHROON LAKE — A Warrensburg man was killed and another critically injured in a snowmobile accident in Schroon Lake Jan. 31.

Benjamin A. Round, 21, died and Richard G. Stewart, 33, of Diamond Point injured in the crash.

Round was operating a 2002 Yamaha snowmobile westbound on Schroon Lake with Stewart as a passenger when the snowmobile struck a two-foot snow embankment causing the snowmobile to go airborne and eject both riders before crashing on the ice, according to state police.

Neither Round nor Stewart were wearing helmets.

The investigation revealed both alcohol and speed were contributing factors to the accident, police said.

Round was transported by the Schroon Lake Rescue Squad to Moses Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga, where he was pronounced deceased.

Stewart was airlifted to Albany Medical Center, where he is listed in critical condition.

An autopsy was performed on Round at the Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake Feb. 1. It determined the cause of death to be blunt force head trauma.

The Essex County Corner declared the manner of death as accidental.
