Tax exemption aimed to recruit firefighters, EMTs

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — With a decrease in the number of firefighters and emergency medical technicians in the state, a new tax exemption aims to bring up the numbers.

According to Legislator Harry McManus, D-Area 1, a 10 percent property tax reduction is being given to current firefighters and EMTs who have been in good standing with the department for five years or more.

“The way it started was, I’ve been a school teacher up here for 40 years and when I campaigned, the most common thing that some of the younger people in the fire department

said was, ‘Mr. M., you’ve gotta do something,’” said McManus.

Currently, the exemption is only for the town of Mooers, town and village of Champlain, and the village of Rouses Point. For the exemption to be put into place, legislation had to be passed with the state, county, towns and villages, as well as Northeastern Clinton Central School, which just official passed Feb. 1.

To break down how much money volunteers can save through the exemption, McManus explained a home that costs about $150,000 would see a reduction of $450 a year.

“It’s not a lot of money,” he said. “But it’s a step in the right direction.”

McManus explained Clinton County is the 29th county out of 62 in the state to get the state legislation, which gives a step in the right direction for the other towns in the county.

The Chazy Volunteer Fire Department is now working to get the legislation passed before the March 1 deadline for this year ’s taxes. McManus said he presented them a PowerPoint project, which they will now bring to the Chazy Central Rural School Board to pass.

“They don’t have waiting lists anymore,”he said of the Chazy department.

“Twenty five years ago, the oldtimers will tell you they had people waiting. It was such an honor thing to do that people couldn’t wait to get in.”

“Now there’s no list and the numbers are down,” McManus added. “That’s really the issue.”

For firefighters and EMTs who have been in the department, in good standing, for five years or more, visit http://www.clintoncountygov.com/Departments/RealProperty/Exemptions.html.

The exemption will also be given to those who retire from the department, as long as they volunteered for 20 years.

For those interested in becoming a volunteer, to earn the exemption after five years, contact one of the fire departments.

Earned Income Tax Credit to help those who need it most

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Earned Income Tax Credit is a credit many are unaware they qualify for, and, as a result, don’t file for.

John C. Bernardi, executive director of the United Way of the Adirondack Region, was joined recently by members of the Clinton and Essex County Earned Income Tax Credit Coalition to raise awareness of the federal tax credit, which is available to assist low-income families and individuals.

“The Earned Income Tax Credit is a tremendous service and a great opportunity for people to get a tax return,” said Bernardi, adding one in four taxpayers is unaware they are eligible for the credit, which could amount to as much as $5,666.

According to information from the Internal Revenue Service, a taxpayer with three or more qualifying children and an earned income of no more than $43,352 or $48,362 if married filing jointly, would be eligible. A taxpayer with two qualifying children must have an earned income of no more than $40,363 or $45,373 if married filing jointly. Those with one qualifying child may earn as much as $35,535 or $40,545 if married filing jointly.

Those without children are also eligible for the credit under certain restrictions. Taxpay-

ers ages 25-65 are eligible if they have an earned income not greater than $13,460 for an individual or $18,470 for those married filing jointly.

“It’s a great opportunity to put money in the pockets of people who need it most, which in turn, helps the economy grow,” Bernardi said of the tax credit.

When it comes tax returns, one of the easiest ways to file, said Bernardi, is through free tax preparation sites hosted by the coalition in the two-county region. The sites are operated by trained volunteers, offering electronic filing for faster refunds, said Bernardi.

Another benefit of visiting a coalition-approved site, he added, is the educational component available to those who file. Coalition members like Kathleen A. Eppler with Champlain National Bank and Jody Carpenter with UFirst Federal Credit Union, are able to provide information about budgeting, saving and investing the money people receive from their tax returns.

“We’ve found a lot of times people who have never belonged to a financial institution,” said Carpenter. “We want them to see they can trust a financial institution and that we can give them the information and the tools they need so they can do more with their money.”

“We’ve even seen people who have gotten themselves into a financial situation where

they’re concerned about having anything to put into a savings or checking account,” said Eppler. “We can help educate them to get out of that situation and start building credit and building a savings. That’s why we’re here.”

Council impeding vibrant communities T

ake a stand. Lend a hand. Stop bullying now. That’s what the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says to kids who get bullied in school. And if bullies aren’t stopped when they’re young, they become adult bullies.

The fight over the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort project in Tupper Lake has shown us that bullies can also take the form of organizations. So move over, Adirondack Park Agency, there’s a new bully in town: the Adirondack Council.

So-called “environmental advocacy groups” are actually created on that premise — to put their noses in other people’s business, people they don’t agree with — and strong-arm them into getting some lunch money, so to speak. Or at least garner more lunch money from deep-pocket benefactors to perpetuate their existence.

The Council’s latest mission to do so is the case of the Adirondack Club and Resort and their promise to change the developer ’s plans to suit their vision of “an Adirondack Park with clean air and water and large wilderness areas, surrounded by working farms and forests and vibrant local communities.”

There is a community in the Adirondack

Park — Tupper Lake — that is floundering economically and needs a shot in the arm. In fact, most communities in the Adirondacks need an economic booster shot, and, while Forest Preserve and state easements help draw tourists each year, they are not the answer to making local communities vibrant.

What we need is economic development.

And guess what? Someone is interested in doing just that in Tupper Lake and has a plan to create jobs by developing the land around the Big Tupper Ski Area.

Is it a perfect plan? No. But that’s why proposed development goes through a permitting process. Yet the permitting process shouldn’t be rigged to turn down a project; it should be designed to make a project better for the environment and the community. And it shouldn’t take seven years of red tape to do so.

Thus far, the bullies are pushing around the Tupper Lake community, not trying to improve it, and they are attempting to drag out the permitting process in the hope that the developers will run out of money and patience and give up, just as they’ve accomplished in the past. But the Adirondack Council should have done a background check on their opponent before climbing into the ring. Somebody should have warned them: Never pick a fight with a Tupper Laker. They don’t give up.

Why is the Adirondack Club and Resort project the Adirondack Council’s business anyway? Because they made it their business to fulfill their mission of ensuring “the ecological integrity and wild character of the Adirondack Park for current and future generations.”

But, who decides what that ecological integrity and wild character should be for the Adirondack Park? Didn’t the New York State Legislature create the Adirondack Park Agency in 1971 to do just that? Apparently that wasn’t good enough for some. So, in 1975, the Adirondack Council was founded to make that decision for the rest of us.

The Adirondack Council and other environmental advocacy groups — such as Protect the Adirondacks! — think they have to protect the Adirondacks from the Adirondackers. And, if they don’t get what they want, they push us around in an attempt to force their agenda down our throats.

The Adirondack Council’s advocacy focuses on the “biggest threats to the ecology and wild character of the Park.” The number one threat today, it appears, is the Adirondack Club and Resort and the Tupper Lake business community that supports the project, namely ARISE of Northern New York (Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving Their Economy).

The ACR project, as proposed and amend-

ed by the developers, is a threat to the Adirondack Council’s vision for “vibrant local communities.” Answer this question: How can you create vibrant local communities by hindering economic development?

And don’t tell us that creating more Forest Preserve and state easements is the answer, because it is not. We need real investment, not seasonal jobs catering to hikers and kayakers.

The Council says it is “looking forward” to the upcoming adjudicatory hearing process and expects that its modifications “will enable the APA” to approve a permit with the Council’s conditions.

Again, why is this any of the Adirondack Council’s business? And why does the Adirondack Park Agency, which will eventually decide whether to issue a permit for the ACR project, need the Adirondack Council’s approval?

Not sure, unless they want the APA’s lunch money, too.

Wilson’s cartoons to anchor Denton Pub’s editorial pages ELIZABETHTOWN — Denton Publications will begin running features created by Saranac Lake political cartoonist Mark Wilson on its opinion/editorial pages starting Feb. 19.

Wilson is an editorial cartoonist, illustrator and rapt observer of New York state politics and culture from his perspective in the northern reaches of New York’s Adirondack Park.

Under the signature MARQUIL, his cartoons appear regularly in newspapers and on web sites across New York. His illustrations appear in Adirondack Life magazine and The Sunday Gazette of Schenectady, which also publishes his opinion columns. His drawings also lampoon regional issues in the Adirondack North Country region.

Any perceived artistry in Wilson's work is, in all likelihood, inspired by his awesome wife; their reddish dog and five chickens inspire the humor. A self-described free-range backyard chicken farmer, Wilson is also the president of the Lake Placid Shoreowners Association.

E’town to India: Dare I say ... never say never?

L

ast week I wrote about my skeptism when politicians come calling.

This week, skeptism was replaced with disbelief when Mike Singh from Ahmedabad, India called requesting an inperson meeting, here in the financial center of Elizabethtown. Mr. Singh, with a distinct Indian accent, informed me he would be in town near the end of the month and would like to show me how I can save between 50 to 60 percent of our production costs by moving the production process and perhaps other tasks “offshore.”

Mr. Singh touts that comprehensive outsourcing drawn from their extensive global resources, with deep subject matter expertise and proven management experience, will create an efficiency of excellence for Denton Publications.

My initial rebuff doesn’t deter Mike, as he points to the “Cloud” and goes more in depth with measurable metrics and engaged management. I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with Mike as he piqued my interest on the specifics of what he was really offering.

A successful Wacky Winter Carnival On Saturday, February 5th, The Plattsburgh Sunrise Rotary celebrated winter in the North Country and promoted a “living healthy” lifestyle to fight heart disease with a series of events free to the public.

We kicked off the day with The Wacky Winter Carnival on the CVPH front lawn from 11:00 am – 4:00pm. The event was a familyoriented, fun-filled and healthy day of fitness-related activities including ice skating, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding — just to name a few. Not only did the Carnival offer the community the opportunity to enjoy hearthealthy outdoor activities, but residents gave back by donating over 200 pounds of heart-healthy food to the Food Shelf.

In the evening, the Plattsburgh Sunrise Rotary turned its attention and support to Go Red For Women which celebrates the energy, passion and power we have as a community to band together to wipe out heart disease — the number one killer of women. The evening began with the lighting of the great tree outside the NCCCA Arts Center with red lights followed by an inspiring performance by the Plattsburgh State Gospel Choir and reception inside the Center.

Over 750 community members took part in the free activities and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all

the many volunteers and organizations who helped to make the entire day, and evening, a huge success.

In particular, we owe a very big thank you to CVPH, especially President Stephens Mundy and Facilities Manager Craig Von Bargen, for providing us with the ideal venue to host our Wacky Winter Carnival.

CVPH’s great front lawn and pond was the perfect home for an event focusing on family, fitness and fun — and access to the hospital’s inside facility provided young children with the opportunity to get warm and enjoy some arts and crafts. And, thanks to the Town of Plattsburgh for supplying us with cross country ski equipment and snowshoes. We were thrilled to be able to provide the community with a great excuse to be outside and to introduce these terrific winter sports to people of all ages.

Finally, I would like to give a big shout out to Y106.3 who was with us all day with live remotes right from the front lawn of CVPH. I would also like to thank the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts (NCCCA), especially Board President Leigh Mundy and Executive Director Susan Daul, for opening the doors of the Center for the evening in support of the fight against heart disease in women. Of course thanks to the

ey but expects wages and benefits to be on the increase when privately owned small businesses are struggling just to keep the lights on and Fortune 500 companies may already be employing an offshore strategy. We can’t have it both ways, but if lower costs are what consumers want, then American businesses have little choice but to meet that demand by trimming expenses.

Any short-term gain Denton Publications could make by pursuing an offshore production opportunity would be a short-lived gain. Unfortunately, the reality of this global economy is that competition will force us to be competitive with India, China, Korea and others, what were once thought of as, Third-World economies. Faced with this choice on our small local level, one has to wonder about the future of our small communities and how we’ll compete on the world stage with countries far more ambitious and motivated. I, for one, never thought our ultra-local firm would face this choice.

With the average wage in India being approximately $15 a day, I have been forced to ask myself: Am I foolish to not consider this opportunity? Do I risk all of our jobs should our corporate competitors move in this direction? Is this a choice of greed, competition or just good business sense?

I’m unsure how to categorize it, but right now I know there is no way I’ll consider sending work overseas At the same time, I learned long ago to never say never. I just hope this never ... never arrives.

Mayor of Plattsburgh and the Department of Public Works we have a tree in the center of the city that will continue to be lit with red lights to help keep the spirit of Go Red for Women alive throughout the month of February. And, the Regional Chapter of the American Heart Association has been very generous in their support of all our efforts to focus on heart disease over the last several weeks.

Finally, a very, very, special thanks to the Plattsburgh State Gospel Choir. The motivating force of their voices was the perfect end of the day — the power of their music empowered us all to take charge of our lives and our health.

Maximizing technology usage How to reduce your junk mail

H

ome technology integration is the joining of various home systems to make things easier to operate, offer cost savings, or provide a combination of benefits to the homeowner. HTI has been around long enough to be considered a complete industry with dedicated manufacturers and at least one certification program offered through CompTIA. HTI may be applied narrowly with simple convenience items like setting all household computers to use one printer or more widely with utility cost-saving measures like automatic thermostat control with automatic window blind control.

Full-blown integration offers nearly anything from remotely knowing who is at the front door by way of a security camera video feed to a smart phone to a system that turns lights on or off as a room is entered or exited.

Before HTI, everything was handled by whatever industry typically handled the job. Wiring jobs were done by electricians, Internet Service Providers took care of Internet connectivity, and various retailers took care of stereo systems, computers and so forth. While many things are still done that

way, the increasing sophistication and interconnection between newer devices has created a need for workers who can do it all and that need is putting home technology integration back on the map.

A worker in HTI would be considered a home systems technician. They would have the ability to install, integrate and troubleshoot many of the new home technology

Native plants always get a bad rap A record month for fires

F

or some reason, native plants can carry the stigma of being plain, boring, and hard to grow. This is far from the truth. In reality, using native plants in the landscape is simple, adds beauty, and benefits the environment.

Native plants are simply plants that have evolved to live in our region. These species have spent thousands of years adapting to the surrounding area. Because these plants are used to our climate and soils, native plants require less fertilizer, less water (once established), and less effort to control pests. Over time, this translates to less time spent tending to your landscaping and less maintenance costs.

In addition, natural landscapes contribute to the environment. Using less water, pesticide, and fertilizer helps improve the quality of our groundwater and our local streams and lakes. Reducing the amount of chemical fertilizer also improves soil quality, as chemical fertilizers decrease soil structure over time. Native plants also provide wildlife habitat by providing both shelter and food sources for native birds, butterflies, and mammals.

If you have never used native plants in the

Newspaper changes noticed

landscape, you may be surprised at how easy it is to incorporate the plants. You can start with a clean palette by removing all your current plants from the landscape and replacing them with natives but this approach is a lot of work and money.

A simpler way to use native plants is to start incorporating natives into your current landscape. Simply add them, like you would any exotic plant, to the garden. Consider tucking a lobelia or coneflower into your boarder garden.

Overtime, the garden will have more and more native plants.

Local nurseries carry a large selection of native trees, shrubs, perennials, and ground covers. In addition, plants can be purchased from on-line sources. Or, if you are looking to save some money and have some time on your hand, you can simply grow your own from seed. Seed is available through many catalogs and on-line nurseries.

As you spend your winter evenings, curled up on the couch, with your favorite gardening books and catalogs, take the time to give the native plants a bit more consideration. You may be very pleased with what they add to your garden!

I want to thank Denton Publications for the greater coverage of the whole Adirondacks in our local papers. I have certainly noticed the trend, and meant to write and thank you before this.

Last fall there was a meeting held in Chestertown, sponsored by Teresa Sayward and Betty Little. It tackled all the concerns and problems of the Adirondack residents and was well attended by people from the whole park. The meeting was not well publicized beforehand, and I was pleased to see so many people there.

Also, I was glad to notice coverage by Thom Randall, and noticed that no other papers were represented there.

This region needs a sense of community, which is hard to maintain in view of the distances between us. The papers published by Denton Publications are being of great service in uniting us. Your guest editorial in last week’s paper by Mark Moeller was particularly welcome and enlightening to those of us who have similar problems, and usually unfamiliar with the situation in Tupper Lake. It is too easy for interests outside the park to make inroads in our small communities while the rest of us are unaware.

The people of North Creek got together and resurrected the train station a few years ago, and have enjoyed the surge of business that the Upper Hudson Railroad has brought to their small town. Now the Warren County Board of Supervisors has fired the company, which has operated the system, and is quibbling about its successor while the summer season approaches without plans.

Local man recovering from acute myeloid leukemia

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PEASLEEVILLE — When Jennifer AnoRyba’s brother, Au Sable Forks native Roy Ano, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, it was something that came completely out of left field.

“It was just such a shock,” she recalled.

“He just didn’t feel good, so he went in for some blood tests and it wasn’t until he pressured for more tests that they found it.”

Doctors found what Ano-Ryba described as an “aggressive growing leukemia” and immediately took action, she said.

“He was told he had it and within a few hours he was an in-patient at Fletcher Allen [HealthCare],” she said. “By noon the next day, he was on chemotherapy.”

The 55-year-old Ano — a counselor at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora for more than 20 years — underwent seven days of treatments, some days being 24 hours a day, said Ano-Ryba. According to a bone marrow test, the treatments have apparently eradicated her brother ’s cancer, but have left his immune system virtually nonexistent while his body recovers.

“It looks like the cancer is gone, but now he’s battling pneumonia and infections that have set in,” Ano-Ryba said.

The next month will involve Ano staying

in a sterile room at the Burlington hospital while he immune system rebuilds, said his sister. Having limited contact has been tough on him and the family, she said, but overall, Ano’s demeanor has been good.

“He’s trying to stay as upbeat as possible,” said Ano-Ryba.

Ano’s family organized a benefit at American Legion Post 504 in Au Sable Forks Feb. 12, which helped raise awareness for his condition and money to help his family.

“We had a good turnout,” said Ano-Ryba, who noted her brother couldn’t be there for the benefit as he was and still is a patient at Fletcher Allen. “We had a lot of support from the community.”

The benefit saw more than 250 michigan meals served and several items auctioned off donated by local businesses and individuals, said Ano-Ryba. Overall, more than $5,000 was raised for Ano and his family, she added.

“Overall, we did really well,” said AnoRyba.

Proceeds will now go toward helping Ano and his wife, Laurie, with expenses incurred in relation to his treatments. The couple have three children — Cordell, Casey and Corey.

Those who were unable to attend the benefit but who would still like to help the Ano family may send donations in care of Roy Ano to 15 Baxter St., Chazy N.Y. 12921.

Roy Ano, in back at center, was recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. A benefit was held at the American Legion post in Au Sable Forks Feb. 12 to help him with medical expenses. Ano is joined, from left, by wife Laurie, son, Casey, son Cordell, and son Corey with Corey’s girlfriend, Jamie.

What to know about acute myeloid leukemia According to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, approximately 12,330 Americans were expected to be diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia last year.

Though the chance of getting the disease increases with age, children and adults of any age can develop AML. Approximately one in five children with leukemia has AML. Signs and symptoms include tiredness or no energy,

shortness of breath during physical activity, pale skin, swollen gums, slow healing of cuts, pinhead-size red spots under the skin, prolonged bleeding from minor cuts, mild fever, black-and-blue marks (bruises) with no clear cause, and aches in bones or knees, hips or shoulder.

•MY PUBLIC NOTICES•

PERU — Though Valentine’s Day has passed this year, romance is still alive yearround thanks to one North Country woman.

Joanne T. Rock has written more than 50 Harlequin romance novels, receiving several awards. Rock began her romance novel career more than 15 years ago after the birth of her first son. The idea was to keep herself “mentally engaged through the hours of Sesame Street,” she said.

Throughout the years, Rock has created many different characters entangled in many different plots, with the main theme centering on romance and passion.

“I am passionate about the message of affirmation, the value of monogamy, that love conquers all in my novels,” she said.

However, it’s not just about love and candles, said Rock. Her novels have real life conflicts, problems, and takes hard work from the characters to build that relationship back up and to make it work, the fight to the happily ever after, she said.

“My messages are important to hear. They make the reader feel good, me feel good,” said Rock, who holds a master ’s degree in English and teaches at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh when she isn’t writing her romance novels. “The way you live and embrace what your passionate about is living

solved their problems for them in a book. It may have had nothing to do with their life at all, they may not even been a couple but it worked for me.”

Rock said she is always learning and always researching ideas for her next novels. And, to keep it from getting boring, Rock mixes up her ideas by people-watching, brain-storming, going to different cities and writing in different genres.

“It’s very important to sometimes turn away from what you’re used to doing so your writing isn’t all work, all the time,” Rock said.

Rock’s latest work, “In the Laird’s Bed,” is draped in a medieval backdrop set in “the thick of a Scot’s winter.” Lady Christiana and Duncan the Brave had a past they shared together but they now have secrets keeping them apart by betrayal. The two are reunited by destiny and a deadly winter storm, leading the reader to wonder if Lady Christiana and Duncan the Brave can resolve their issues and reignite their passion for one another.

Though her latest, “In the Laird’s Bed” is not her last. Rock has a professional new year ’s resolution to attempt a young adult book proposal that will allow her creativity to expand, she said.

“Something that entertains my children,” she said, adding two other books, “Making a Splash” and “Riding the Storm,” are due out in September and October, respectively.

Winter Weekend Continue from page 1 “Chazy has a strong attachment to traditions,” said Chazy Lions Club member Jim Lucas. “While activities may have evolved over the years, the commitment from students, parents, community, and the Lions Club have held fast and we take pride in the accomplishments of the students.”

This year ’s theme, chosen by the seniors, is 90s Cartoon Characters. The theme will be visible to the community when students in grades 7 through 12 create snow sculptures on the school’s lawn. Twelfth graders have chosen “The Rugrats,” 11th graders chose “Pokemon,” 10th graders chose “Hey Arnold,” ninth graders chose “Spongebob,” eighth graders chose “The Magic Schoolbus,” and seventh graders chose “Blues Clues.”

Some minor changes were made to this year ’s schedule, including the open skate at Scotts’ Rink Wednesday. An extra hour has been added, to make the skate time 2 to 5 p.m., which is open to the public. Skate rentals will also be given free of charge, but there is a limited quantity.

Another change, added to the winter weekend last year, is a school-wide fundraiser. Last year students in each class brought in donations to help with the relief causes in Haiti following the earthquake. Donations totaled $700, and students received points based on how much they were able to raise.

Although the students are still deciding what fundraiser to support, student council president Olivia Seymour, a junior at CCRS, said they have a focus.

“We plan on donating to a charity that has a personal background to a member of student council,” she said.

“Our students and community here at

Chazy are always willing to help when called upon,” said Justin Frechette, advisor of student council at CCRS. “This school has great students who are supported year in and year out by our community.”

Seymour also notices the students joining together, not only for the fundraiser, but for all of Winter Weekend planning.

“Being apart of the week-long event that the students get to help create is a really big responsibility, honor and extremely fun,” she said. “Planning Winter Weekend involves student council meeting at least once a week during the month of February and a lot of voting and organizing.”

“Winter Weekend is a blast at CCRS, and we’re all looking forward to it,” Seymour added.

Leadership program teaches values are important

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Each year, Michael S. Cashman looks forward to the Omicron Delta Kappa Leadership Society’s Character In Leadership Institute.

The event, said Cashman, was designed as a free outreach program to the local community “to foster an opportunity for leadership development in our young citizens.”

“I really enjoy it because it gives a lot of our high schools students the opportunity to visit the college and meet mature role models in the college environment they can see themselves in in a couple more years,” said Cashman, who serves as coordinator of student activities at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh and organizer of the annual event at the college.

The institute celebrated its 16th year Feb. 5, with dozens of students from high schools across the region participating. Large- and small-group activities overseen by college student mentors centered on discussing “The Six Pillars of Character” designed by the Josephson Institute of Los Angeles, Calif. — trustworthiness, fairness, respect, responsibility, caring and citizenship. The

discussions emphasized the importance of each value and how even in high school students can begin practicing them through volunteer work and other activities.

“One of the messages that gets hit home over and over again by our college students is take advantage of the opportunities that are being afforded to you in high school because those opportunities will lay a strong foundation for you to get into college, to be an active citizen in the community,” said Cashman. “It shows them that no matter how old you are, you can do great things.

That message really hits home with them.”

Linzee Wright, a sophomore at Peru High School, said she enjoyed the program, which taught her, among other things, the characteristic of trustworthiness and how it meant to both trust other and be a person others can trust.

“I was nervous about going because I only knew one person going, but as the day started I became more comfortable,” said Wright, who added she enjoyed working with students from other schools in group activities. “I saw how people that I had just met, trusted me ... I met a lot of new people ... I would consider them friends now.”

Chazy Central Rural School sophomore Sarah McNally said one of the pillars her group focused on was caring.

“It’s about talking to other people to see how things affect them,” she said. “It’s also about letting others care about you by telling them what’s on your mind and why it affects you.”

SUNY Plattsburgh student Kara Bergeron said she found the high school students became very enthusiastic in participating in the program, discussing the importance of values that can one day help them become great leaders.

“I think the program’s great because the students are able to engage each other in conversation that doesn’t happen every day,” said Bergeron.

“It’s an amazing program that really taps into some of the students who may or may not have had a lot of opportunities to participate in discussions like this,” said Cashman.

Adirondack area bridges in need of repair

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — Officials with the state Department of Transportation say bridges and culverts located inside the Adirondack Park are in rough shape.

But things don’t look much better outside the Blue Line, either.

The state Adirondack Park Agency Board of Commissioners got a good look at the state of bridges in northern New York on Thursday, Feb. 10 — and things don’t look good.

Motorists in the Adirondack North Country snapped to attention a couple years ago when the state Department of Transportation demolished the Lake Champlain Bridge — which linked Crown Point, New York with Addison, Vermont.

At the time, inspectors said the structure was in deplorable condition and despite a terrible fiscal outlook, the state launched a lengthy effort to build a new bridge — one officials hope will be open to traffic in September.

The fall of the Lake Champlain Bridge raised awareness across the region about the condition of other bridges.

Appearing before the APA Board of Commissioner’s Feb. 10, DOT Structure Engineer Tom Hoffman painted a grim picture of the current state of bridges and culverts inside the park. He also explained to commissioners how his agency inspects and selects the structures in need of immediate attention.

According to Hoffman, bridges in New York state are inspected on a regular basis. Load posted bridges — those with signs indicating a weight limit — are checked out by inspectors annually.

The rest are inspected biannually.

DOT utilizes a rating system of 1 to 7 to pinpoint a bridge’s condition — bridges rated a “1” are in critical shape, while those with a “7” are healthy, Hoffman said.

Hoffman works in DOT Region 1 — which includes all of Essex County and most of Warren County. He explained that DOT has made positive strides over the last decade, but things are starting to

The Crown Point Bridge closure pointed out the need for evaluating and repairing bridges around the region. get worse again.

“The worst of the population of bridges are those rated under four,” Hoffman said. “We did make a lot of strides in getting that number down, from 40 in the late 90s to about 20 now.

But that’s starting to rise again.”

The number of bridges in disrepair is rising largely because of the state’s ongoing fiscal crisis, Hoffman said.

Currently, DOT is planning bridge and culvert work based on a flat $600 million allocation. Hoffman notes that DOT is looking for funding closer to $700 million to meet its goals in the next five years.

But to bring New York’s bridges up to speed, DOT would need about twice as much as it’s seeking, Hoffman added.

“If you look at what we realistically need to make us have a good state of repair where we’re not taking the shocks off of people’s vehicles and closing bridges — then we’re closer to $1.6 billion,” he said.

Hoffman told commissioners that inpark bridges require about $25 million worth of repairs. In Essex County alone, 46 bridges have been inspected and given “poor” ratings, including a bridge that carries motorists over the North Branch of the Boquet River.

A bridge in the Warren County town of Lake Luzerne that crosses the Hudson River has also been listed in poor condition and in the Olympic region, Hoffman

said two bridges crossing the West Branch of the AuSable River on state Route 73 will need to be replaced within the next five years.

“We’re a little bit worse than most of the upstate regions,” Hoffman said. “But I think they’re coming to join us.”

Jim Bridges, a regional design engineer for DOT, said the status of New York’s bridges doesn’t look good — but the problem persists nationwide.

“The revenue for most transportation projects comes from the federal government — between 80 and 90 percent of our projects are funded by the feds,” Bridges said. “That funding is based on the ‘gas tax’ — which hasn’t been touched since the early 90s. And gas use is down. So because that funding is tied directly to the gas tax, the highway trust fund has suffered as well.”

Bridges said New York’s transportation department, like most agencies, is doing the best it can with what it has.

Although the presentation focused primarily on bridges and culverts, Hoffman did provide some insight into the status of state highways in the Adirondacks.

He said heavily traveled corridors like state Routes 73 and 86 are stuck in disrepair because DOT is directed its limited funding toward bridges — which Hoffman said present a bigger safety concern than roadways.

Chambers throw support behind ACR project

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com PAUL SMITHS — If Franklin County does implement a bed tax, the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort would be a major source of income.

Several economic leaders have spoke highly of the project, which could soon be headed to an adjudicatory hearing.

“Get a hold of the governor ’s office and let him know how important this project is,” said Hugh Hill, president of the Malone Chamber of Commerce. “The club would be a major project that would change life as we know it. I think that this is terrific and it needs all of our support. This isn’t just huge for Tupper Lake, but for the whole region.”

“Tourism is our biggest asset and we want to promote it in any way that we can,” said Marc “Tim” Lashomb, District 4 legislator in Franklin County.

Anti-bullying task force meets to plan KEESEVILLE — Nearly 50 professionals from the fields of Law Enforcement, Mental Health, School Administration, and the Juvenile Prosecutor for Essex County met at Keeseville Elementary School on Thursday, Feb. 10. They were part of the Anti Bullying Task Force a division of the Safe Schools, Healthy Students project administered through CVES. New York State Assemblywoman Janet Duprey was there to help explain the New York State Dignity for All Students Act that will go into effect July 1, 2012.

The New York Act, which builds on the criteria set forth by the federal definition of bullying, goes a step further. Not only does it define bullying as discrimination based on race, color, sex, national origin or ones disability, it also encompasses harassment based on sexual orientation, ethnic group, religion, weight or gender.

Duprey mentioned that this was the only time she was involved in passing legislation that led to death threats.

Sue Spissinger vrom the SUNY Research Foundation provided a cover

page outlining the school level surveys available to all schools upon request. The surveys are available on the elementary and middle/high school levels and target three separate audiences: school staff, parents, and students. The surveys are available for use immediately.

Survey data will be compiled at no cost to schools by the SUNY Research Foundation as part of the Safe Schools/Healthy Students project.

Although schools will receive their data individually, no individual school data will be shared with Task Force members or the public. Data will only be shared in aggregate form with the Task Force and other sources. This data will support school officials in moving forward with anti bullying programs and interventions.

For the March meeting, the task force was broken into three groups to concentrate on the main components of an anti bullying policy: Definition, Disciplinary Consequences Policies and Incident Reporting Procedures using a policy already in use by the Broward Co, Fla.,

School District. Their anti bullying policy is widely regarded as on of the best in the country.

The policy template, when completed, will be made available to schools free of charge. A timeline has been set to finalize the definitions and policy template so that materials will be available to schools in May 2011.

To finish the session, the group viewed a presentation by Jeff Sisson, who is the Health, Safety and Risk Management Specialist from CVES about the Olweus Anti Bullying Program. This affordable program involves not only the teachers and staff of the participating school but also the students, parents and the community in a culture changing educational process. Olweus has over 30 years of expertise and research shows it to significantly reduce bullying behavior when used as prescribed.

The next task force meeting is scheduled for March 10. If you would like to participate please contact Wanda McQueen the Project Administrator at 5610100 ext. 357.

Love survives transition to adult home

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Robert and Mary Carlino married for better, for worse ... forever.

Married 66 years, the couple spent this Valentine’s day just like all the others — together.

“We’ve been married 66 years,” Robert, age 92, smiled.

“I think it may last.”

The couple lived in Brant Lake 65 years, operating Carlino’s Brant Lake Market for four decades.

“They loved Brant Lake,” said Tina Maltbie, their daughter. “It’s their home and they would have never left.”

Fate stepped in, however.

Mary, age 89, developed Alzheimer’s Disease.

“Dad’s entire life is about taking care of my mother,” Maltbie said. “He’s always watched out for her and he always will.”

So, when it became necessary to move Mary to an adult care facility, Robert made the only choice he could. He decided to go, too.

The couple moved to the

Moses Ludington Adult Home in Ticonderoga in March 2008.

“They’re a package deal,” Maltbie said. “Where one goes, the other goes.”

While the couple is living in an adult care facility, they’re like most married couples.

“They argue every day,” Maltbie smiled. “At first the staff was a little concerned. I told them not to worry. We’re Italians. That’s how we communicate.”

Mary’s memory is failing, but she’s clear about one thing — Robert is the love of her life.

“Isn’t he a doll?” Mary asked of Robert.

“A living doll,” Robert answered.

The Carlinos have three children. Tina and two sons, Anthony, who lives in Lake Placid, and Robert, who lives in Connecticut.

Maltbie is thankful her parents are at the Moses Ludington Adult Home.

“This place is a gift from God,” she said of the Ti facility. “I feel it’s a wonderful place. My parents have a life here.”

Altona home lost in fire ALTONA — The home owned by Ernest Guerin Jr. at 226 Irona Road is a total lost after it was engulfed in flames Feb. 8.

No injuries were reported and officials believe it was electrical.

Crews from Beekmantown, Champlain, Chazy, Ellenburg Depot, Mooers, and West Chazy assisted the Altona Fire Department in fighting the blaze.

Drug trafficker sentenced PLATTSBURGH — Timothy J. Fleury, 28, Westville was sentenced to 10 years and a month for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, and attempted possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

Fleury participated in a drug trafficking conspiracy led

by William Dunn from June 2004 to Oct. 2005, acting as one of the organization’s principal smugglers from Canada into Northern New York.

On May 5, 2008, Fleury led United States Border Patrol in a high-speed pursuit along the border near Constable.

The pursuit resulted in the seizure of seven large hockeystyle bags filled with about 300 pounds of high-grade Canadian marijuana.

On Sept. 7, 2007, Fleury met with undercover drug enforcement administration agents at a restaurant in Plattsburgh, attempting to purchase 50 pounds of marijuana.

Mooers home destroyed by fire Robert and Mary Carlino Maltbie praised the staff for planning activities for residents and the community for its support. Community groups often visit the residents and host activities for residents, Maltbie said.

“The Ticonderoga community is a wonderful place,” she said.

A resident of Chestertown, Maltbie learned about Heritage Commons from a friend.

“It’s by the grace of God we found this place,” she said.

“It’s home for my parents.”

The Moses Ludington Adult Home is not a nursing

home, explained Michelle Benedict, the facility administrator. While nursing homes provide total care, the Moses Ludington Adult Home allows independent living with offering help with medication and other health-related issues.

Robert and Mary Carlino joined other residents of the Moses Ludington Adult Home for a special luncheon Valentine’s Day. “They’re our first and only couple,” Benedict said of the Carlinos. “We love having them.”

MOOERS — A fire, likely to have started in a garage, destroyed a house owned by Raymond Blow, 61, at 36 Pepper Hill Road.

Blow, who was not home when the fire began, has insurance on the house and garage.

Volunteers from Altona, Champlain, Ellenburg Depot, Rouses Point, West Chazy, and Hemmingford, Quebec provided mutial aid to the Mooers Fire Department.

Jones sentenced to a year in jail PLATTSBURGH — Christopher Jones, 45, Plattsburgh was sentenced to a year in jail after stabbing Michael Astwood of Schuyler Falls with a box-cutter-style knife in the abdomen, at Pizza Bono last year.

According to Plattsburgh City Police, Jones got into an argument with Astwood over loose change left on the counter at the restaurant.

Jones recently pleaded guilty to charge of second-degree assault and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Paul Smith’s College keeps VIC open, thriving Name, mission change at former APA center

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com (Editor's note: This is Part Two of a five-part series on the current status of the Visitor Interpretive Centers (VICs), which were operated by the Adirondack Park Agency from 1989 to 2010.)

PAUL SMITHS — May 24, 1989 was such an important date that Gov. Mario Cuomo opened the Adirondack Park Agency’s first Visitor Interpretive Center (VIC) himself, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a speech in front of hundreds of onlookers and swarms of blackflies.

After a ride from Paul Smith’s College on a restored 19th century stagecoach with college President David Chamberlain, the governor sealed a 100-year “environmental time capsule,” filled with artifacts from North Country schoolchildren. The mystery objects are still there — encased in concrete and stone — underneath the “Tree of Peace,” a white pine tree, planted by Mohawk Chief Jake Swamp on opening day.

Having the governor in town was a big deal, and Paul Smiths resident Jack Burke has fond memories of that day.

“I remember shaking his hand,” Burke said with a smile.

Burke is now the vice president of business and finance for Paul Smith’s College, which took over the building from the APA on Jan. 1.

The college has always had a role in the property, leasing the land to the Agency and using the trails and building for student projects. In May, Burke will retire and oversee the trail system, becoming what his friends jokingly call the “trail czar.” On Jan. 28, he met with the college’s director of communications, Ken Aaron, and director of human resources, Susan Sweeney, in the building’s Great Room.

With a view of snow-covered Heron Marsh and St. Regis Mountain at his back, Burke and company spoke about the history of the VIC and the college’s plans for re-inventing the center.

Ultimately, the college’s goal is to expand events, programs, exhibits and the trail system, make considerable improvements, and find creative ways to pay for it all.

Vision for the VIC “We want this to be a place where people come over and over again,” said Sweeney,

who is a member of the VIC Transition Steering Committee.

Steering Committee members have adopted four guiding principles to help them plan public and private usage of the Paul Smiths VIC: 1.) linkage to academic mission; 2.) public access; 3.) collaboration with arts and cultural organizations; and 4.) entrepreneurial opportunities. (See pullout box).

When making plans, “We are always coming back to our four guiding principles,” Sweeney said. “It keeps us focused.”

Steering Committee members see the college’s takeover of the VIC as an opportunity to do something bigger and better than the APA did. Throughout the APA’s ownership of the VIC, many thought there was room for improvement.

“It never met its potential under state operation,” said Paul Smith’s College President John Mills, sitting in the Great Room during the Jan. 29 Chili Ski Tasting event. “Our goal is to reach that potential.”

Paul Smith's College Director of Communications Ken Aaron poses in front of the new sign at the Paul Smiths VIC, located 1 mile north of the college on State Route 30. The college has dropped “Visitor Interpretive Center” from the name, and the facility is now officially called the “VIC.” Photo by Andy Flynn

Challenges Mills and his staff members are excited about running the VIC and keeping it open to the public. At the same time, they are being honest about the challenges they face.

“Our No. 1 challenge is paying for it,” Mills said. “They (the public) don’t realize how much it costs just to keep the lights on.”

Mills said he wasn’t sure how much money it will take to operate the VIC, adding that there are more costs associated with the VIC acquisition than most people realize. The college, for example, has already hired one fulltime VIC maintenance person and purchased a new four-wheeler to maintain the trails, and it will spend about $20,000 to fix the roof.

To help the college monitor the financial health of the building, the VIC will be set up as a free-standing auxiliary enterprise. In order for the college to reach the building’s potential, it will take a business model that requires a mix of rental income, revenue from programs and events, and a lot of community support. There have already been requests for weddings and parties at the VIC, and Burke is planning some trail-running competitions, such as the Jenkins Mountain Scramble and Half Marathon in June.

College officials want to reassure people that they are doing their best to re-open the VIC building as soon as possible. But they don’t want to make mistakes by rushing their plans.

“Our aim is to make good, thoughtful decisions up front,” Sweeney said. “Just give us a little time.”

The guiding principles M

embers of the VIC Transition Steering Committee have adopted four guiding principles to help them plan public and private usage of the Paul Smiths VIC. They are: Academic mission: The college is encouraging faculty to consider the VIC building and property when planning their lessons for coming semesters. Students have traditionally spent class time at the VIC since 1989, mostly in outdoor programs such as forestry and recreation. In the future, though, culinary arts students will practice their craft in the new VIC kitchen, which is planned to be built in the former office of the APA’s artist/designer. This facility will be useful during special events. Hospitality students will get hands-on experience welcoming the public to the VIC by training volunteers at the front desk. And the Draft Horse Club will help maintain the trail system a couple times a year, especially in the spring by removing blown-down trees from winter storms.

Public access: The hiking trails have remained open for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing since the college re-acquired the property on Jan. 1, and the 24,500-squarefoot building is expected to be open to the public sometime in the spring. College officials want to have exhibits, programs and events, such as the APA did for almost 22 years. The VIC friends’ group — the Adirondack Park Institute — will continue to keep its office at the VIC and fund, organize and implement public programming, such as the Butterfly House, which opened in 1993. Public information will be available for visitors, as will the rest rooms and public spaces. And the college plans to install free WiFi for the public.

Arts collaboration: The Adirondack Center for Writing will move from the college’s administration building to the VIC this year and will be able to present programs in the theater. Partnerships with other arts and cultural groups will be fostered to offer programs and exhibits.

Entrepreneurial opportunities: The college will work with small business owners who want to either rent space at the VIC or offer programs there. For example, MAC’s Canoe Livery owner Brian McDonnell will be offering outdoor recreation activities for his customers on the VIC property.

here's an endless number of ways to explore what our region has to offer, and if you're up for it, riding on a snowmobile is one of them. Hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails connect North Country riders with points downstate, upstate, out-of-state and even out-of-country across the Canadian border!

The New York State Department of Parks and Recreation ensures trails are well-signed with directional guideposts and trail markers. The speed limit for trails in New York State is 55 miles per hour, though many area snowmobile clubs post their trails at lower speed limits.

The trails consist of public properties and land access approved by private landowners. Through their cooperation, scenic vistas like Taylor Pond in the town

of Saranac, Macomb Reservation State Park in the town of Schuyler Falls, and Silver Lake in the town of Black Brook, are among a handful of places to stop along your day on the trails. In the town of Ellenburg, a particularly impressive sight is the hundreds of wind towers that have been installed to generate electricity.

One event snowmobilers in the Northern Tier look forward to every year will take place Saturday, Feb. 26.

Members of the Northern Tier SnoRunners, based in West Chazy, host the annual Ice Drags at Kings Bay on Lake Champlain, bringing in about 60 racers on an annual basis. Two snowmobile racers race each other trying to get the fastest time down a 660 foot straightaway.

The entrance to the lake is by the Lakeview Pavilion on State Route 9B in Champlain. Parking will be along the road and on the ice. Registration for the races begin at 12 p.m. The entry fee for spectators is $5. Children younger than 10 will be admitted free.

A rain date is set for Sunday, Feb. 27.

The Northern Tier Sno-Runners take care of the trails throughout Altona, Sciota, West Chazy, Chazy, Beekmantown, Champlain and Mooers, giving acres upon acres of land for snowmobile enthusiasts to enjoy.

Try Ice Fishing!

If you enjoy being outdoors in winter, ice fishing may be the type of sport that may be of interest to you!

The North Country offers many areas to fish — Lincoln Pond in Elizabethtown, Paradox Lake in Schroon, Connery Pond in North Elba, and Plattsburgh Bay in Plattsburgh are just a few public fishing spots registered with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, but of course, there are many, many more.

Lake trout, northern pike, yellow perch and walleye are just a few of the many species that can be pulled local ice fishing hot spots. The first thing to keep in mind, however, is safety when on the ice. A minimum three to four inches of solid ice is the general rule for safety.

However, ice thickness is not uniform on any Information courtesy New York State DEC body of water and using your best judgement is essential. So, be very careful!

Let’s Go.....

Sledding!

If you’re looking to take the kids sledding — or if you’re a grown-up trying to get in touch with your inner child — there are countless places across the North Country where you can hop on a saucer, sled, tube or toboggan to feel the wind rush against your face in a downhill run!

The Cobble Hill Golf Course on Court Street in Elizabethtown, Black Kettle Farm on Cook Road in Essex, Wilmington Youth Center on Park Road in Wilmington, Beartown Ski Area on Beartown Road in Beekmantown, American Legion Post 1619 on Rand Hill Road in West Plattsburgh, and Fox Hill on South Platt Street in Plattsburgh are all among destinations familiar with locals looking to do some serious sledding.

If you’re going out, here are a few tips: • Make sure you have permission to be on the property or that it is public with no restrictions on sledding • Choose a hill that’s not too steep, with a long, flat area at the bottom so you can slide to a stop • Avoid accidents by not using hillsides near a street, parking lot, fences, trees or other hazards • Choose snowy hills over icy hills — icy slopes make for harder landings

Lady Eagles make finals, bow out to Ithaca team The Chazy Lady Eagles hockey team made it back to the Upstate New York championship game for their sport, but could not solve their opponents goalie.

In the semifinals Feb. 11, Lauren O’Connor scored two of the Eagles first three goals as Chazy beat Oswego 5-1 in their semifinal matchup.

O’Connor scored the opening goal of the game at the 12:58 mark of the period off assists by Astrid Kempainen and Alexis Guay, then scored with 28 seconds left in the period on assists from Sarah LoTemplio and Jesse Huber.

Kempainen scored the middle goal of the quarter for the Eagles on an assist from Alex Betrus.

LoTemplio scored the Eagles lone goal in the second period on assists by O’Connor and Huber, while Bailey Waterbury scored the teams third period goal on assists from Amanda Peterson and Caitlyn LaPier.

Christina Emery made nine save in the win, while the Eagles launched 35 shots on goal.

In the championship game against Ithaca Feb. 12, the Eagles again held a huge advantage in shots, with margin of 34-6.

However, the Eagles defense allowed three goals while the Ithaca goalie stopped each of the 34 shots she faced.

ELLENBURG DEPOT — For some, it will be their first chance to impress on a statewide stage.

For others, it will be a chance to improve upon previous years.

And for one, it will be the chance to join the immortals of New York state wrestling.

Fifteen wrestlers qualified for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Division II state wrestling tournament at the Times Union Center in Albany Feb. 25-26 through winning their weight class at the Section VII tournament Feb. 12.

Overall team champion Peru will have seven members of their squad heading to the state meet, while second-place Beekmantown and fourth-place and host Northern Adirondack advanced three wrestlers apiece and thirdplace Saranac advanced two wrestlers to the states.

“We have a really strong sectional team this year,” Peru head coach Mike Hogan said.

“There are a lot of seniors with previous state experience that are coming back. We have a very solid team to compete for a sectional state championship.”

Along with a sectional state title, the Indians will also keep their eyes on the individual team standings. over the last two years, the Indians have finished in third and fourth place, respectively.

Peru’s Arik Robinson scored his fifth Section VII title and will look to win his fourth state championship.

However, Hogan said that his top priority is helping the section succeed as a unit.

“From here on out, there are no more teams, we are all Section VII and we are looking for great things,” Hogan said.

Whether as a sectional team or as the squad of Indians, both teams will be led by three-time state champion Arik Robinson, who scored a second period technical fall over Beekmantown’s John Grazione at 112.

“It’s awesome to be going back with a lot of friends,” Robinson said, making his goals for the state tournament clear.

“I am looking to bring another state title home and my hope is to win the most outstanding wrestler award for the tournament,” he said.

Robinson added that he was greatful to all those who had helped him accomplish what he had.

“I have great workout partners and great coaches who have helped us all to get to where we are,” Robinson said.

One of Robinson’s training partners and former state champion Jacob Goddeau earned the MOW title for the sectional tournament when he scored a 5-1 victory over previously undefeated Beekmantown wrestler Jesse Daniels at 125.

“I had to keep focus,” said Goddeau. “Last time, he got the early two points and I knew that I had to get the first two.”

“If he gets a lead, Daniels is tough to beat,” Hogan said. “Jake wanted to get the first two points and work with the lead.”

Goddeau said that he is going to work hard to get back to the top of the Times Union podium.

“I am going to continue to work hard with Arik and Alex (Pugh) and get to a point where

I am ready and I can go back and win the state title for a second time.”

Pugh advanced with a pin with less than 30 seconds remaining in his match against NAC’s Max Marte at 119 for the Indians, while Kyler Agoney scored a second period pin at 103 against NAC’s Brandon Edwards, Patrick “Pappy” Hogan scored a technical Fall at the end of the second period at 130 over Saranac’s Austin LaTulip, Troy Seymour scored a third period technical fall over Beekmantown’s Kyle LaPorte at 145 and Adam Stickle scored an 8-3 decision victory over Saranac’s Joe Perry to round out the Indians automatic qualifiers.

Beekmantown will be represented at the state tournament by Ethan Kerr, who scored a 5-0 decision win over Peru’s Brandon Moore; Nick Bushey, who scored a 5-1 decision over Peru’s Brandon Allen; and Hayden Head, who finished the night with a pin with 15 seconds remaining in his match against AuSable Valley’s Dave Thompson at 285.

NAC wrestler Scott Kellett started things out for the host Bobcats with a 9-4 decision over Peru’s Tanner Phillips, while Justin Kellett scored a 14-10 high-scoring, fast-paced decision over Peru’s Noah Phillips and Mike Riley improved to 39-1 with a 1-0 decision over Beekmantown’s Brandon Jabault, with the only point coming when Jabault gave up a point to start the second period in order to start in the neutral position.

Ryan Guynup scored a pin in the first period against Peru’s Josh Wright to improve to 29-3 on the season and score a win at 140 for Saranac, while Ben Perry pinned his way to stated with a second period fall of AuSable’s Matt LaMere.

“It feels good to make it,” Perry said. “I have to just keep training the way I have been and do a good job in Albany.”

The event has grown steadily since, now drawing thousands of outdoor enthusiasts to peruse the dozens of vendors and exhibitors set up outside and inside the Johnstown Moose Club off Route 30A. “I noticed a need for this kind of event since there are so many hunters and outdoor enthusiasts in our region,” Hauser said. “So I held the first outdoorsman show six years and it was an instant success.”

This year ’s event is planned for this weekend, Saturday, Feb. 19 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

More than 75 vendors are expected, with exhibits and items for sale pertaining to: hunting and fishing gear/supplies, guns, archery, trapping, boating, camping, hiking, snowshoeing, guides and charter services, taxidermy, snowmobiling, collectable

knives, antique hunting and fishing gear, wildlife art and books and Adirondack furniture.

Hauser said his show rivals anything held in the Northeast, especially if you remove what he called “fluff vendors” or those exhibitors who aren’t completely geared toward the outdoorminded.

“You’re not going to get grocery giveaways at my show,” he said. “Remove fluff vendors like that and my show is as big as anything in the Northeast.”

New this year is a giveaway of more than a dozen guided fishing and hunting trips, donated by outdoor guides and charter boat captains.

The giveaway — termed “Take Me Fishing & Hunting Raffle” — is aimed at getting youth involved in the outdoors. All proceeds will benefit the youth group that sells tickets, such as the Gloversville little league and girls softball booster club.

Tickets can be purchased at a cost of $3 each during the event or in advance by sending a check to: Gloversville Lit-

tle League, PO Box 1056, Gloversville NY 12078.

Drawings for the trips will be held Feb. 20 at 3 p.m. and you need not be present to win.

In addition to the exhibitors, there will be door prizes drawn of free gear, a gun and equipment, Hauser said.

Other featured guests, including authors and industry experts will give tips and seminars throughout the weekend.

They include wildlife artist and state brook trout record holder Tom Yacovella; outdoor writer and book author Dan Ladd and Kingsbury native Todd Mead, who will be signing copies of his newly published book “A Lifetime of Big Woods Hunting Memories — Hunting in the Adirondacks with a Father & Son.” Admission to the event is $5 for adults and $1 for children age 15 and under. For more information on the event and a full list of items to be raffled, go to www.adkshow.com or contact Hauser at 518-725-5565; mhauser@frontiernet.net
