Two teens perish while swimming in Ausable River

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com WILMINGTON Ñ The death of Michael Lawson, the second swimmer who disappeared last week at a popular swimming hole in Wilmington, was ruled to be a fresh water drowning, said state police in a statement on June 30.

Lawson, 17, was recovered in the west branch of the AuSable River in the town of Wilmington last Sunday after a threeday search by recovery personnel.

The teenÕ s body was located a short distance from where he was last seen on Thursday, June 26, while swimming with friends.

Lawson was a junior at Plattsburgh Central.

Taoufik Maknani, 17, a senior who was scheduled to graduate last week, also drowned.

His body was recovered on Thursday.

LAKE PLACID Ñ Lake Placid High School held its graduation ceremony for the class of 2014 on June 27 at the Olympic Speedskating Oval.

David Knapik, son of Jozef Knapik and Anna Gemzova was named salutatorian. Erin Weaver, daughter of Tim and Kate Weaver, was been named valedictorian.

In his speech, Knapik said he was ecstatic when he first learned he had been named salutatorian. Ò However, these initial feelings soon turned to fear as the school year progressed because I began to realize the responsibility that this title carries Ñ the responsibility to spread words of wisdom and leave a last impression on all of my fellow classmates,Ó he said.

Continuing, he urged his classmates not to rest on their laurels. Ò I hope that all of you treat accomplishments as reminders of the great work you are doing, and that these accomplishments urge you to strive for more,Ó Knapik said. Ò It is great to celebrate and bask in the glory of past actions, but it is crucial that accomplishments be taken as steps to go further. Treat them as such, and always challenge yourself. It is important to be proud, but do not let this pride cloud the rest of your life.Ó In her speech, Weaver traced her classesÕ trajectory through the school system, explaining what they learned.

“I mean, first there were the ABCs, counting apples and oranges, walking in a single file line — decidedly tough material,Ó Weaver said. Ò Then came chapter books, mastering kickball in elementary gym class, and choosing outfits that actually matched.”

Weaver went on.

Saranac Lake celebrates graduation of class of 2014 jon@denpubs.com

SARANAC LAKE Ñ Saranac Lake Senior High School graduated its class of 2014 on June 27 in the villageÕ s overheated Civic Center, which was packed with spectators.

Sienna Daviau was the classÕ salutatorian. In her speech, Daviau said she felt unexpectedly nostalgic for the high school experience she was leaving behind. Ò Standing up here tonight, I realize there is more about high school that I will miss than I would have ever imagined,Ó Daviau said. Ò There is truly no class like ours. WeÕ re

ridiculous, hilarious, stubborn, and unpredictable. And weÕ re also important.Ó Daviau reminded her classmates keep the journey of life in mind, rather than just a particular goal. Ò Throughout my 18 years in this world, it seems that everyone, myself included, is always looking ahead to something bigger, something better, something more fulfilling,” she said. Ò And while it is important to chase your dreams, it is also important to remember the people and places you passed by on your way to achieving those dreams. In comparison to our futures, high school is only one of many stepping stones to preeminent successes and victories, but it is still a stepping stone nonetheless. And without it, we would not be who we are today.Ó Samantha Martin was the classÕ valedictorian and said the high school experience had changed her class. Ò We met new people, maybe changed social groups, joined a sport, learned to play an instrument, decided on a major for college, whatever,Ó Martin said. Ò I know this from personal experience, for I am not the same Sam Martin

that walked through the front door of the high school in September of 2010.Ó Martin said this sort of change was inevitable and should be viewed in a positive light. Ò There is no stopping change - it just happens,Ó Martin said. Ò So try to view that as a good thing, as an opportunity to grow, and make the best of it. Strive to become a better version of yourself.Ó She encouraged her classmates to express gratitude toward those who made a difference in their life. Ò At the conclusion of this ceremony, once youÕ ve walked across that stage and turned over your tassel, I want all of you to make your way over to some people that made a difference in your life,Ó Martin said. Ò Thank them and say youÕ ll keep in touch. And then really keep in touch.Ó Martin added that her classmates should be a force for positive change. Ò There are many problems in todayÕ s world, and we are the ones who have to solve them,Ó Martin said. Ò We can no longer just sit back and observe as our parentsÕ generation attempts to deal with modern issues. The responsibility has fallen on our shoulders.Ó

GOP candidate for AG blasts state on crime, Clean Water, SAFE Acts

By Pete DeMola

shouldnÕ t have passed. Ò ItÕ s unfortunate the current Attorney General didnÕ t point out the serious weaknesses,Ó he said. Ò In fact, he put out a press release beforehand that gave no serious impact.Ó Cahill, who netted an endorsement by the state police, also said the gun law, which is among the most severe in the country with provisions that ban high-capacity magazines and created an assault weapon registry, failed to address the mental health crisis that often accompanies violent acts. Ò That underlying issue is nowhere addressed in the SAFE Act,Ó he said.Ò While it is the law, that doesnÕ t mean we canÕ t work with local law enforcement officials to make sure it’s implemented the best way.Ó

pete@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID Ñ John Cahill strode into a coffee shop in this idyllic summertime hotspot and apologized for being late.

The former Chief of Staff for Governor George Pataki had just come from the 32nd annual Tupper Lake Tinman Triathlon in Tupper Lake, a brief respite from traveling the state meeting with local law enforcement officials. Ò This was just a tune-up race for Ironman,Ó he said, referring to next monthÕ s triathlon.

He may well have also been referring to another endurance effort: Running as the Republican candidate for New York StateÕ s Attorney General.

Cahill, who nabbed the GOP nomination at the state convention in May, said he has always realized the importance and value of public service.

His bio is impressive: Senior Policy Advisor to the Governor.

Chief of Staff. Former Department of Environmental Conservation commissioner. High-powered lawyer at the consulting firm that bears his name, a co-billing with Pataki, the stateÕ s last Republican governor who served three terms and left office at the end of 2006. Ò But now IÕ m at a point when my kids are grown up,Ó Cahill said. Ò IÕ ve got a valuable background for public service and want to serve.Ó The candidate said the current Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, a Democrat, has forgotten and ignored the public. Ò Most people donÕ t know him or anything heÕ s done,Ó he said. Ò The job is too critical of a position to be ignored.Ó Cahill said he felt strongly about issues of criminal justice and that the position plays an important role in fighting crime throughout the state. Ò I donÕ t share the same philosophy as Schneiderman. Crime is absolutely caused by criminals,Ó he said. Ò TheyÕ re the root cause.Ó The candidate said he would work closely with local law enforcement on issues that are important to the North Country, including the heroin epidemic. Ò What Schneiderman has done is handed out an antidote. He said he doesnÕ t believe we can prosecute our way out of the crisis.Ó Cahill was referring to comments the incumbent made last month promoting his office’s Community Overdose Prevention program designed to provide naloxone, the opioid overdose antidote, to state law enforcement agencies, a tack toward treatment and recovery and away from tossing them in a jail cell. Ò I believe we need to prosecute these criminals who sell and discriminate narcotics to children and families to the fullest extent of the law,Ó said the candidate.

Cahill said he agrees that treatment opportunities are needed, but a more vigorous approach and a comprehensive statewide plan with law enforcement was also required.

One problem, he highlighted, was the amount of heroin needed for felony possession made it difficult to crack down on traffickers and dealers.

Cahill said Schneiderman was Ò nowhere to be seenÓ in the re-

cent legislative session that hammered out the most recent package of bills.

The GovernorÕ s new initiatives, which were announced last month, included the addition of 100 experienced investigators to the State Police Community Narcotics Enforcement Team, new efforts to make supplies of naloxone available to all first responder units in the state and the launch of a targeted awareness campaign that will take place on all public college and university campuses.

The legislation also included increases in the penalties for the criminal sale of a controlled substance by a pharmacist or practitioner by making the crime a class C felony and added the Ò criminal sale of a prescription for a controlled substance or of a controlled substance by a practitioner or pharmacistÓ as a designated offense for purposes of obtaining eavesdropping warrants, something the Governor called “a small but significant reform” to help law enforcement crack down on distribution and trafficking. Ò It was a pretty good comprehensive package,Ó Cahill said.

SAFE ACT Cahill, who is from New York City, said he is Ò philosophically at different ends of the spectrumÓ as Schneiderman when it comes to the SAFE Act, the controversial gun control law that was passed by the New York State Legislature early last year in the wake of the Newtown incident. Ò It really painted law-abiding citizens as criminals and cast them into improper light,Ó he said.

The candidate said that as Attorney General, he would be required to uphold state law. He would not have supported the legislation, he said, but instead would have pointed out why it

As a former DEC Commissioner with a J.D. and Masters Degree in Environmental Law from Pace, Cahill said heÕ s deeply dialed into environmental issues, including the Clean Water Act. He cited last weekÕ s decision by a state agency to peel $511 million from funds given by the federal government to the state to assist with the cost of new sewage treatment plants to reconstruct the Tappan Zee Bridge as a gross misuse of the funds.

The loan, which passed a hurdle last but still faces further approval, was met with myriad criticism by environmental groups.

The agency that provided the loan, the state Environmental Facilities Corporation (Cahill actually used to head it), has argued that replacing the 60-year-old structure would remove a large amount of lead paint that is said to be toxic.

They also argued that the project, which has a total estimated cost of $3.9 billion, would improve the Hudson River.

The next step is approval by the Thruway Authority and the Public AuthorityÕ s Control Board. Ò IÕ m a supporter of Tappan Zee, but to take that money to build a bridge in Lower Manhattan is not right,Ó Cahill said. Ò I hope they reconsider using that money for the Adirondacks.

How do we grow the size of capital infrastructure to provide for growth in the North Country? This is really indicative of the upstate-downstate divide.Ó POLICE MILITARIZATION Asked about what some critics have referred to an a militarization of the countryÕ s police forces, including repeated tasering incidents by Glens Falls Police that have attracted significant criticism, Cahill said he was unfamiliar with that discussion. Ò WeÕ re putting more and more responsibilities on our police officers,” he said, citing the required training that comes with the heroin antidote, as an example. Ò We have increasing responsibilities, which of course, is going to strain the department. We expect the police to keep our streets safe but also expect them to do more and more. ItÕ s a lot of strain financially, and it’s an issue I hear a lot.”

North needs to look east

T

he heat is rising and we all know what that means for the North Country Ñ tourists, seasonal residents and outdoor enthusiasts.

Lots of them.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo knows this. He has a soft spot for the North Country and intrinsically understands the magnetic draw of these ancient and mysterious hills.

Over the weekend, he traveled to Watkins Glen to officially kick off the season.

The tourism figures he boasted are impressive: The biz generated direct spending of $59.2 billion in 2013 and produced an estimated $7.5 billion in state and local taxes.

The number of visitors to New York is estimated to have increased by 8.8 million and we are projected to finish at 218.8 million visitors by the end of 2013 (the final numbers aren’t in yet). As the fourth largest employment sector in the state, the industry generated more than $17.96 billion in wages.

Not bad. WeÕ d like to augment them with some of our own.

Fact: Mainland Chinese travelers spent $102 billion on international tourism in 2012, 40 percent more than they spent in 2011.

Neat: By 2016, the number of Mainland Chinese tourists visiting the United States is estimated to grow by 232 percent, said the US Department of Commerce.

Wow: China was the sixth-largest spending nationality in the US in 2012, spending $9.2 billion Ñ compared to $7.7 billion in 2011 Ñ making it the fastest growing market for American tourism in 2012.

Impressive: Tourists from the self-described Middle Kingdom outspent leading spenders Germany in 2012, dropping a total of $102 billion on overseas trips (compared to $84 billion by the Germans).

Loaded: Chinese tourists spend about $6,000 per trip to the US, more than visitors from any other country. Because their expenditures are technically exports, the US ran a $4.4 billion surplus in travel and tourism with China in 2011, up from a $687 million deficit in 2006.

Whoa: In 2013, ChinaÕ s State Council Ñ thatÕ s the equivalent of our presidential cabinet Ñ announced a plan to blast outbound tourism even further into the stratosphere. The seven-year plan is a roadmap for restructuring the current paid leave system across Mainland China with an aim to encourage governmental agencies, social organizations, enterprises and public institutions to promote the use of mandated leave days, a development that has the potential to

blow the top off of the international tourism market.

We could go on and on. But the numbers illustrate that the Mainland Chinese are coming, theyÕ re eager, excited, enthusiastic and want to drop their cash.

Now that New York has realized the value of the North Country, itÕ s time to look east and think big Ñ like 1.355 billion big.

American cities like Seattle, Honolulu, New York and Los Angeles understand this and have started opening offices in major Mainland Chinese megalopolisÕ like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

We think Lake Placid should be the next in line, serving as the nerve center for a constellation of North Country cities and destinations.

And why not?

Olympic connection. China hosted the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, a point of profound national pride that has yet to subside. Beijing and Lake PlacidÕ s narratives blend together like, er, ying and yang Ñ cities that emerged from backwater status to pull off some of the most mesmerizing athletic events in human history Ñ and weÕ d like to think a eternal spirit of cooperation can be eventually be forged.

Outdoor activities. It might be easy to overlook, but our brutal terrain is our top asset, especially during the winter. Adventuring and endurance sports have become popular activities for Mainland ChinaÕ s young explorers, those in their twenties and thirties who travel independently, and the natural beauty of the Adirondack Park seems like a no-brainer considering much of the worldÕ s most densely populated country is choking under a veil of unrelenting pollution and profound environmental degradation.

Peace of mind. Chinese culture, which stretches back over 4,000 years, has always placed a premium on holistic medical practices that seek to balance and neutralize discord within the body, a balance that is becoming increasingly desired as the slowburning tensions within the country escalate. The North CountryÕ s growing network of acupuncture, spa treatments, organic farming and community supported agriculture is like catnip to the increasingly health conscious Chinese and shouldnÕ t be overlooked.

During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the official slogan was ubiquitous: Beijing huangying ni. That means Ò Beijing welcomes you.Ó We suggest state officials add the following phrase to their talking points: Beifeng guojia huangying. Ò The North Country welcomes you.Ó Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

NH resident appreciates coverage To the Editor: I want to commend Denton Publications for giving a voice to the people of North Hudson in what is one of the most crucial phases in creating a better future for us all and representing the struggle of so many towns, villages and hamlets of the Adirondacks.

I wanted to clarify ( hoping IÕ m not being too redundant) that simply put, the Town of North Hudson has been held back in developing and benefitting from a historical and cultural icon of the AdirondackÕ s, the Frontier Town A frame and surrounding land.

Since Mr. George Moore bought the property some years ago, nothing has been done to preserve this part of North HudsonÕ s heritage. It has been left and ignored to succumb to a state where it will most likely be condemned.

I believe now is the time for Mr. George Moore to do the right thing: put the future of North Hudson back in the hands of the people of North Hudson. Mr. Moore has had years to prove himself as a good steward of the most important property in North Hudson and has failed. Our town, like so many others in the AdirondackÕ s, is struggling to survive. We are being held back by one man’s desire to profit while an entire town of over 240 struggle to survive.

It was wonderful, if not laughable, to read George MooreÕ s lawyerÕ s comment that the Town of North Hudson was Ò the speculator.Ó Mr. Russel fails to mention that Mr. George Moore purchased the Frontier Town A frame for around $45,000 8 years ago and immediately put it up for sale for over $700,000 and has done nothing to at least prevent the deterioration of the building.

That fact speaks for itself.

When Mr. Russel was asked at the last town meeting the reasonable and very pertinent question, Ò How many properties does Mr. Moore own and how many of those properties has Mr. Moore developed?Ó Mr. Russel never answered the question.

This is not, nor should be, about anything other than a small townÕ s survival.

George Moore had his chance to prove what he can do or not. I would like to boldly suggest that Mr. George Moore do the right thing: cancel his lawsuits against our small town and the county.

Give, yes, give the town, or letÕ s say donate to the town, of North Hudson the Frontier Town A frame and give the future back to the people.

Dan Snyder, North Hudson

George Moore responds To the Editor: I have a few thoughts that I would like to share with Dan Snyder, Doreen Ossenkop and Dave Tart, three residents of North Hudson that donÕ t know me as shown in the June 28 article in the Valley News.

I own 50 pieces of property in the Keeseville/Peru area. I would be pleased to have you come and see how well our properties are maintained. I have a full-time repair and renovation crew which my grandson, Troy and I meet with every morning. I am on top of things and know what each man is doing each day.

When I am no longer able to direct the men, Troy will be ready to take over.

My daughter, Carolyn, and my two grandsons, Tanner and Troy have already taken over a large part of the scrap metal business and are ready to carry it on in their own name and with their own ideas. My main function now as a businessman is to give them as much of my knowledge and experience as I can.

When I was 16, I quit school in my senior year (it was during the war) and went to Cleveland, Ohio to work in a rayon plant.

At 17 I went to Providence, Rhode Island where I was trained to be – and still am- a certified welder. I welded on the Kaiser Liberty ships. At 18 I went into basic training in Georgia then in the Occupation Army in Germany. When I came back from the Army I started in business. It was 1947 and I was 20 years old.

For the first 20 years of my working career I worked as a structural union iron worker/welder and then purchased ash logs to go to Canada for hockey sticks. A lot of my ash log suppliers were from Willsboro, Westport, Ticonderoga and North Hudson.

There was a lot of ash timber in that area both on the NY side and on the Vermont side of Lake Champlain. I dealt with the Caza family buying timber from them and selling them parts and other supplies they needed.

At North Hudson I bought the A-frame property in 2004 and listed it with Glebus Realty. They had several companies with strong interest in the property inquire about purchasing it, but when they found out about the title interference from the small parcel in front of it, they lost interest. I just purchased that small parcel that has the DEC test wells on it and that some of the Aframe and parking lot is on.

I have been criticized for neglecting the property. To this point I didnÕ t have clear title because of the infringement of the lot in front claiming part of the A-frame and parking lot. My attorney and I have waited for years to be able to buy the small parcel and clear up the title. Just last week I received the deed on it. Now I expect to be able to do something with the property.

I have sent my crew to North Hudson many times to mow, cut brush and clean up around the A-frame and repair the rool.

There have been many break ins. The copper pipes have been stolen, windows repeatedly broken and my crews have gone several times to secure the building.

I believe Ron Moore has made the statement that they wanted the timber and gravel off the disputed property. That isnÕ t going to improve North Hudson. My attorney just sent a proposal to Dan Manning, Essex County Attorney which he is asking to be shared with the Essex County Board of Supervisors. Ron Moore wanted a snowmobile trail from North Hudson to continue on to Newcomb. I propose to give North Hudson a right of way so that trail can continue. I have been told that the snowmobile trail runs over my property and they have been using it.

I was asked and did speak to the investment class at Clinton Community College. I was recently awarded an honorary degree in business administration. Mine was only the fourth honorary degree ever given by Clinton in its history.

I am offering an opportunity to these three residents and anyone else who is interested to find out who I am and what I do as a businessman. The comments clearly show that they are wrong about my business ability.

Keep the ‘dacks primitive To the Editor: I donÕ t want to appear that IÕ m deliberately trying to hog your Letters to the Editor feature, but I can speak both as a 50-year Adirondack trout fisherman and as a website creator with 14 years of experience with WiFi in the Adirondacks.

I live in California and go trout fishing in the Adirondacks every year. I want and expect quiet and solitude in a rustic Adirondack setting where I can Ò get away from it allÓ and enjoy the pleasures of trout and steelhead fishing in a pristine setting.

I also run ads on multiple websites and spend several hours maintaining these websites every day that I am in the Adirondacks. ItÕ s safe to say that I am crippled in this work if I donÕ t have Internet access. A general lack of WiFi availability together with, at best, sporadic cell phone access has always been a problem for me.

Recently, however, WiFi access and telephone access has greatly improved with almost all motels and many restaurants offering free WiFi, and, some, free long distance telephone services.

Essentially, there is no serious lack of Internet access any more for persons who need it.

However, primarily for convenience reasons, I cannot see myself working several hours every day on the banks of the Hudson, Indian River, Mill Creek or the Boreas RiverÐ even if WiFi was available.

If it comes to an either choice, I have to align myself with those persons who would limit WiFi to campgrounds only or none at all.

Personally, I feel that staying Ó always connectedÓ does a great disservice to the Adirondack experience. Adirondack campgrounds are where outdoor enthusiasts should be able to find unmolested solitude.

Many years ago, in Yosemite Park before the Internet, motor home people Ò stayed connectedÓ by crowding the CB radio spectrum so badly that there were essentially no open channels available for new conversations!!!! If ubiquitous WiFi becomes a reality in the Adirondacks, you can expect similar massive entertainment usage, not the occasional business usage.

I would hate to see this happen in the Ó Forever WildÓ Adirondacks. The Adirondacks are not a mall where people can go to text and connect.

Appreciates Honor Flight To the Editor: On June 14, the trip of a lifetime occurred for our father, Dick Olcott. Most of you know him as a former New York State Forest Ranger, a quiet man who turns 91 years old on July 9.

That day, he was honored as a World War II veteran. He is a proud Navy veteran who served both in the Pacific and Atlantic Theaters at Pearl Harbor and aboard an escort carrier in a sub hunting armada in the North Atlantic.

At 5:30 a.m, Sheriff Richard Cutting escorted him and his son, Rick Olcott, to the Oval at the Old base in Plattsburgh.

Thank you, Richard, not only was he glad to visit with you, as you went to school with son, David, but you were in full uniform and he felt special.

Once they arrived at the Oval, he was given a hat, coat and survival bag with “goodies” for the trip. There was a flagraising ceremony and a roll call for each veteran, 15 in all, and a walk through a line of military personnel along with well-wishers.

They were then accompanied to the airport by fire trucks, police cars and a motorcycle brigade of Vietnam Vets.

On arrival at the airport, they were greeted by the Knights of Columbus and more military, police and fire fighters in full uniform. A short ceremony was held before boarding the plane where each veteran was introduced and saluted.

After boarding the plane, they flew to the BWI Airport where they were met by another welcoming committee of civilians and military personnel. Dad was escorted through the airport by an active duty Navy seaman. The contingent of veterans was applauded and thanked by people in the airport waiting at the gates for their planes.

In Washington DC, they visited their World War II memorial where each veteran was personally greeted by Elizabeth Dole and thanked for their service.

They also visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and watched the changing of the guard, got to see the Iwo Jima Memorial. They enjoyed a hot meal at a local VFW and then returned home. They arrived back in Plattsburgh at 10:30 at night and again were greeted by a welcoming crowd.

DickÕ s words to me were Ò You just had to be there.Ó It was a memory to last forever.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Honor Flight Organization, Sheriff Richard Cutting and all the firemen, police both state and county, and all the other organizations who selflessly give their time and hard work to make this such special trip for our veterans.

When you see those cans that say Honor Flight, please give generously to this organization that gives so much for our veterans.

The amount of World War II veterans is less each day lets make sure everyone can make thisÓ Honor Flight.Ó Gay Olcott, Elizabethtown

Down with attack ads!

To the Editor: I fully agree with Dan AlexanderÕ s last two Viewpoint editorials condemning political attack ads. Such ads have significantly lowered both the quality of political debate and our respect for our elected leaders. While candidates are not supposed to consult or coordinate with the Super-PACS that run these attack ads, there is nothing to prevent a candidate from loudly and publicly protesting the use of these ads - something candidate Stefanik never did. If similar ads start appearing during the general election cycle, I would hope that Ms. Stefanik - better late than nevertells any Super-PAC that runs such an ad to please stop dragging down any politician who happens to disagree with their narrow political agenda.

I also heartily applaud the offer to publish two editorials written by each candidate. The pledge not to accept any attack ads is particularly commendable, since in doing that Denton Publications is truly Ò putting their money where their mouth is.Ó Let the polite, civil, reasoned debate begin. If nowhere else, at least in this paper.

Congressional generosity seems to go just so far

W

hen the high rollers on Wall Street were about to go Ò belly up,Ó Congress acted to save the stockbrokers/banks who created the mess and got richer in the process.

Apparently, congressional generosity will not be extended to college students and their families who are drowning in student loans.

Last month, Congress defeated a bill proposed by

By Scot Hurlburt Senator Elizabeth Warren, who was quoted as saying, Ò This was a great day for millionaires but not for the 40 million American families struggling with college debt.Ó The proposal was not a bailout, but rather an attempt to adjust college loan interest rates down. With student loan default rates at 38 percent and rising, and with student debt now measured in trillions, not billions, a decrease in student loan interest rates would help struggling students and families.

The bill was apparently defeated because it would have increased taxes on millionaires in order to pay for the proposed interest rate cuts. While financial market forces have driven down mortgage interest rates and car loan interest rates to record lows, with some mortgages coming in at under 3 percent, and new car loans between zero and negative three percent, inexplicably college loan interest rates remain high.

Although banks can borrow money at little or no interest, these savings are not being passed onto students because banks donÕ t set the interest rates for student loans, Congress does.

I am at a loss to understand why Congress would want to keep college loan interest rates high when other consumer loans are so low. When Wall Street was about to collapse, the phrase Ò too big to failÓ was entered into the national consciousness.

I would argue that affordable access to a college education is too important for our communities and our country for us to fail in this important fundamental undertaking.

Remember, all kids count.

of Representatives. He mounted the rostrum and addressed the gathered dignitaries. Ò Hold on, Harry,Ó growled the gruff, bald Speaker, Sam Rayburn of Texas, Ò I have to introduce you.Ó Truman spoke without the brilliant Harvard phrases or the polished eloquence of FDR, but he spoke from the heart to millions of hearts: He pledged to carry on the war on two continents to eventual victory and unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan. He promised to fulfill the commitments made by his fourterm predecessor. His speech was a great success, applauded on both sides of the aisle.

He concluded with these words: Ò At this moment, I have in my heart a prayer. As I have assumed my heavy duties, I humbly pray Almighty God, in the words of King Solomon: Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people that I may discern between good and bad, for who is able to judge this thy so great a people. I ask only to be a good and faithful servant of my Lord and my people.Ó The hushed House Chamber erupted in thunderous applause.

It was said of Franklin D. Roosevelt that he was for the people.

But Harry Truman was the people. He was a humble man because he knew the dangers of pride. Pride goes before a fall, he knew. He read that somewhere.

Tupper police investigating animal abuse case Police: Dog had cinder block tied around its neck

By Jon Hochschartner jon@denpubs.com

TUPPER LAKE Ñ The State Police in Tupper Lake are investigating an animal cruelty case that was reported June 20 when an individual located a deceased German Shepherd in the water in Tupper Lake. The dog had a cinder block tied to its neck and appeared to have been intentionally drowned. Police estimated that this occurred sometime around the beginning of June.

A Facebook page seeking to locate the perpetrator, called ÒJ ustice for Tupper the German

ShepherdÓ was created June 26. At the time of writing, it boasted 733 likes. Funds were being raised on the page for information that leaded to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator.

A post by the page owner boasted that nearly $1,500 had been raised for this purpose June 26.

Trooper Reinaldo Alvarez said the dogÕ s body was discovered by boaters June 19 and reported to authorities the next day. Alvarez said those responsible could only be sentenced with a Class A misdemeanor, if caught.

According to New York State Trooper Jennifer Fleishman, public information officer for Troop B in Ray Brook, the dog was found with no collar, microchip or other form of identification. She was unsure of the animalÕ s gender. ÒT his is just a heinous and sick crime,Ó Fleish-

man said. ÒI f somebody should not want this dog, they should have given it to a humane society.Ó The New York State Police request that anyone with information contact Alvarez at 518-897-

2000.

The State Police are being assisted in this investigation by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Tupper Lake Police Department.

Ward Lumber announces Sidney J. Ward Sr. Memorial Scholarship winner

JAY Ñ Ward Lumber has selected Cody Lawrence as the winner of this yearÕ s Sidney J. Ward Sr. Memorial Scholarship. Cody is the son of Darren Lawrence, Log Sealer/Timber Buyer for Ward Lumber, and Laura Lawrence. Cody will receive $1,000 for one year of college study. Cody will begin his first year at North Country Community College in Saranac Lake, NY this fall, pursuing a degree in Forestry.

The selection process is based on scholastic achievement, community and extracurricular activities, personal aspirations and financial need. The scholarship was established in 1971 as a tribute to Sidney J. Ward Sr. who, while only completing the 8th grade before going to work to support his family, believed in encouraging and promoting education, scholastic achievement and good citizenship. Ward Lumber is a two-unit lumber and building materials supplier along with hardware, paint and feed with locations in Jay and Malone, NY. One of the largest private employers in Essex County, Ward Lumber manages over 6,000 acres of timberland and operates one of New York StateÕ s largest white pine sawmills and planing mills.

245 teams to participate in tourney

LAKE PLACID Ñ Lake Placid Lacrosse will host more than 245 teams playing in 18 divisions of competition during the 25th Annual Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Classic, August 4-10.

As part of this celebration, Lake Placid Lacrosse is standing behind Wounded Warrior Project¨ (WWP) to promote awareness of WWPÕ s mission and to help raise funds to assist this generation of servicemen and women who were injured while serving our country. A series of special events will be incorporated into the week-long tournament as part of the Legends of Placid Lacrosse celebration of the event’s first twenty-five years in Lake Placid.

“As the son of a wounded veteran Purple Heart awardee from World War II, I know firsthand the sacrifices and unique challenges that our servicemen and women make to ensure our freedom,Ó said event founder and Director George Leveille. Ò We are honored to be joining forces with WWP to help promote and support their efforts through our signature events and the greater lacrosse community,Ó he went on to say.

Over 50,000 servicemen and women have been injured in the recent military conflicts. In addition to the physical wounds, it is estimated as many as 400,000 service members live with the invisible wounds of war including combat-related stress, major depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Tragedy on the Ausable

Ò Through our transition to middle school, we became experts at awkwardness, racking up hours on MySpace, trying and failing to seem awesome at dodgeball, taking selfies with our tongues sticking out,Ó she said. Ò Some of us even began the dedicated, uphill battle towards athletic success. Others, namely myself, reached our peak on ModSquad. My glory days of organized athletics are, alas, far behind me.Ó Weaver said that in high school, responsibilitities multipled. Ò It also meant accepting new perspectives and pursuing our personal interests,Ó she said. Ò Some of us enrolled in the BOCES programs or the New Vision Health Occupations curriculum. Others expressed their individuality by joining or leaving sports, acting in the fall play or spring musical, and by enrolling in elective courses that actually interested us.Ó Weaver was a member of the National Honor Society and High Honor Roll, pursued Advanced Placement courses and excelled in all subject areas. She graduated with an Advanced Regents with Honors diploma and special recognition of Mastery in Math and Science, the schoolÕ s highest diploma.
