SARANAC — Julieann Carter has been tracing family histories for friends and family for nearly three decades.

And, when she was diagnosed last year with Ramsay Hunt syndrome — a condition which can cause partial paralysis, it limited her ability to travel and left her looking for a way to occupy her time.

“One day, I went to the Saranac Country Store, and someone there mentioned they wished there was a genealogical society nearby,” said Carter.

“So, for the next couple days I pondered the idea.”

It wasn’t long before pondering turned to action. And, from that point, it was a matter of where she would

CHAZY — The new home for the Chazy Public Library is nearing completion.

Emily Castine, president of the library’s board of directors, said a two-year process to relocate the library from its current home on State Route 9 in the hamlet of Chazy is coming to a close as crews finish interior work at the new location on Fiske Road. The library will relocate to the former office of the late Dr. George W. Clark, located around the corner from the Stewart’s Shop on State Route 9.

“We’ve got shelving going up this week, which we hope to have totally installed by Wednesday,” Castine said in an interview Monday afternoon. “We’re going to then be expecting our cabinetry and our circulation desk to be next.”

“Everything seems to be going along quite well,” she added.

Furnishings for the new library’s reading rooms are also on order, Castine also noted.

The project began two years when the library received a matching grant to cover the cost of making the building handicap-accessible and renovating its ground floor, said Castine.

That grant was for $160,000, with Friends of the Library, the library’s fundraising arm, required to provide $80,000.

Through various fundraisers and charitable donations, the organization was able to do so, said Castine.

The second and current phase has consisted of pro-

ROUSES POINT — The Peg and John Huchro Memorial Gazebo has received a little sprucing up.

Resident Sue Chenevert and fellow members of the Rouses Point Beautification Committee spearheaded an effort recently to give the Lake Street gazebo a fresh coat of paint.

“I walk by there every day, and just thought it would be nice to clean it up a little,” said Chenevert.

Correction In the November 5th edition of the Burgh and North Countryman the ad “Beekmantown Voters” had a typographical error. The parties names should have been Mrs. Garden and Sydney Sue Garrant.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Chenevert was given the go-ahead by the village board of trustees and soon, the gazebo — recently renamed from the Peg Huchro Memorial Gazebo to recognize the passing of village trustee and the Peg Huchro’s husband, John — received not only a paint job, but new flowers as well.

The interior also received lighting which Chenevert said helps “brighten it up at night so people can see it.”

The crew which put in several hours of work on the project consisted of Chen-

evert and friends Nancy Baker, Kay Papin, Judy Mousseau, Mary Racicot and Geri Favreau.

“It was a lot of work for us girls, but we had some help,” said Chenevert, crediting village trustees Brian B. Jefferson and Francis J. Baker for contributing their own time and money toward the project.

“We’re just hoping a lot more people will use [the gazebo] now and enjoy it,” said Chenevert. “It really adds to the beauty of our village.”

Generator failure forces emergency action After-school programs cancelled as a result

HEAP applications now available SARANAC — Applications for the Home Energy Assistance Program are available through the Joint Council for Economic Opportunity of Clinton and Franklin Counties by contacting Cindy Waldron at the JCEO Outreach Center, 293-6661. The program will be in effect Wednesday, Nov. 16.

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com SARANAC — A generator failure at Saranac Central School has prompted emergency action by the school board and left after-school programs in the dark last week.

During the regular meeting of the Saranac Central School District board meeting Nov. 1, the board approved an emergency plan to replace the school’s 45-year-old generator. The 100-kilowatt diesel generator is expected to cost approximately $200,000.

Without an emergency source of electricity in place, the district was forced to suspend all after-school activities last week, including a high school fall concert scheduled Nov. 2.

As a temporary fix, the district rented a 75-kilowatt generator until the permanent one was installed Nov. 4.

Superintendent Kenneth O. Cringle said the generator failure at the Saranac Middle/High School campus showed how important the need for system updates are immediately.

“That's the problem with aging systems, most of the time you can repair them, but they are extremely costly; that’s the disadvantage,“ Cringle said.

Not replacing these systems would “cost taxpayers much more in the long run, escalating repair cost, and in situations like this it’s really going to hit us hard if we do not have time to replace something,” he said.

For the past few years the generator has consistently failed, been repaired, and failed again, prompting the board to include its replacement in a $5.6 million capital improvement plan.

That plan, which includes updating energy and safety systems, is being paid

Genealogical society From page 1 house a genealogical society, if she could get one off the ground.

“I checked with Father Don Kramberg,” said Carter, referring to the pastor of the Church of the Assumption in Redford, “and I told him my intentions. He thought it was a good idea.”

Kramberg gave Carter permission for the new genealogical society to meet in the basement of the church rectory, which Carter said gave the group more than enough space.

“I thought it looked good when they showed it to me,” said Carter. “It was just right. I thought we could always start out small there and it gives us room as we get bigger.”

The generator at Saranac Central School failed last week, prompting an emergency expenditure and the cancellation of after-school activities. The board of education is expected to enter into a formal contract to replace the generator during its next regular board meeting Tuesday, Nov. 15. for by a state EXCEL grant, with no impact to local taxpayers. EXCEL grants are available to all public school districts in New York State and may be used for energy, technology and safety improvements.

Unfortunately, the unexpected failure of the generator forced the school board to rent the temporary generator and make the generator ’s replacement an emergency project, instead of having it replaced as part of the planned capital improvements.

Nevertheless, Cringle said about 90 percent of the $200,000 emergency project can be covered from an emergency aid from the state, including the rental of the temporary generator.

“So, the downside is we have to use fund balance monies, because we didn't have it planned, but the upside is we'll

The group soon came together under the name “Saranac Valley CCNY and Canada Genealogy Society,” with CCNY standing for “Clinton County, New York,” said Carter.

“We decided to do that to make the name shorter,” she said.

Carter joined with friends and fellow local history-enthusiasts John Gould, Colleen Seney, Mary Scott, and John Tedford and the group was off and running.

The Northern New York and Canadian Genealogical Society, particularly Gloria Pratt, said Carter, helped get her group going by donating several books which are now used to help people trace their family histories. Kargoe Carpet Cleaner owner and operator Chuck Kargoe also donated computers and

be able to recuperate 90 percent of it because of eligibility for building aid,” Cringle said. “It shouldn't affect taxes.

We'll still use some fund balance we didn't plan on using but we certainly won't use it to the tune of $200,000.”

The generator, in case of power outages, is the school’s emergency back up for any electrical failure including lighting, heating, and the coolers for the cafeteria.

Cringle said the board was under the impression there were backup battery systems the school could have used in the meantime, but it was determined that alternative was too costly. The batteries cost $15,000 a year.

The board is expected to enter into a formal contract to replace the generator during its next regular board meeting Tuesday, Nov. 15.

office supplies to help the group get established, she added.

“We can’t thank them enough for all they’ve done,” said Carter. “It means a great deal to us.”

The donations have helped people learn more about old photographs in their family photo albums and answer questions about familiar locations in the area.

“What we always hear about in our area are stories of the War of 1812 and the military, which is great, don’t get me wrong. I love hearing these stories,” said Carter. “But, what about the everyday people, the common folk? That’s harder to find information about.”

“We want to help people with those little unsolved mysteries,” said Seney. “We

want to help them learn more about their loved ones.”

The genealogical society meets in the church rectory off Clinton Street the last Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. The next event to be held by the group will be a spaghetti dinner fundraiser at American Legion Post 1618, 275 Wilson Road, this Saturday, Nov. 12.

The dinner will begin at 4 p.m. and cost $6.50 per person. The event will include a 50-50 drawing, raffles and entertainment by DJ Lou Allen. Proceeds will go toward the purchasing of books needed to help people trace their family histories.

viding furnishings and other equipment for the library at a cost of an additional $80,000, which has been able to be raised

by Friends of the Library, thanks to the help of the community, said Castine.

“Our fundraising team has done a great job, and we received some sizable donations from room namings,” said Castine, noting higher-level donors were able to have a room named after them in the new library.

“The second year has been a little harder, but things are coming right along,” she added.

What will help the overall cost of the move — estimated between $240,000 and $250,000 — will be the efforts of Friends of the Library and grants like the ones al-

ready received, said Castine. Last week, Castine said she was notified the library was awarded a $10,000 grant from the Charles R. Wood Foundation through the Adirondack Community Trust.

“We were so delighted,” Castine said of the news. “Everything just seems to be coming together.”

The library is set to move to its new location Saturday, Nov. 26, with help of the Chazy Lions Club.

“It’s a great effort on their part and very generous,” said Castine. “We’re so appreciative of them.”

An official grand opening is expected to be held in December, with details forthcoming.

Those interested in continuing to help the Chazy Public Library relocation project may contact Castine at 846-7585.

North Countryman Editorial

Viewpoint

Spending plans need to be Bridging the future presented in readable form I

C

larity in government is essential for the participation of the people. In few places is that clarity as important as a town or city budget.

The town budget has a great impact on people's daily lives. But many budgets presented to citizens, especially in smaller towns, are difficult to read. The documents are full of abbreviations and tightly-packed figures that may capture the spirit and the most essential information on the budget process, but it’s meaningless to most citizens.

A budget summary or narrative can be helpful. The issue with one of these attached to a budget that citizens can't read is that they don't know exactly how trustworthy or inclusive the information is; they can't verify it on their own. This is a tall hurdle that makes it hard for constituents to feel empowered.

The role of government is the authoritative allocation of scarce resources. Towns' budget officers are working to stay under the 2 percent tax cap, and for some towns this can mean a few thousand dollars up or down. With that little wiggle room, informed feedback from constituents is more valuable than usual this budget year.

The role of citizens is to hold their representatives accountable. If the citizens can't account for the money their government is spending, they're missing out on participating in the most important function of their governing body.

The problem with many of these publicly distributed documents is their extreme brevity. There's a lot of information to put in there, but handing out small books for public review is awfully inefficient. Paper's not what it used to be in this 21st century.

Space was a consideration in those

bygone days before data bits flew through cables and airwaves, bringing us funny cats and free news articles.

Now, all that bandwidth required for Mittens' latest mishap can easily accommodate a bigger document packed with easier-to-digest line items.

A modern revolution in information design provides many solutions to that problem.

Cook County, Ill. made a visualization tool called “Look at Cook” available online for its citizens. The tool features an interactive line graph showing year-to-year spending, with line items that can be drilled down through until users see exactly where their town’s money is spent. The program is an open source, meaning it’s free to use, though it does require some amount of technical expertise.

In Portsmouth, N.H., a city council candidate named Jack Thorsen has posted a tool that shows the municipal budget in a pie chart. That by itself is nothing impressive, but as soon as the user hovers their mouse cursor over the graphic it comes alive, spinning and expanding.

When a slice of the chart is clicked, say “Library,” a list opens to the right of the chart, documenting how the library funds are spent exactly, from overtime to postage to book-binding.

Thorsen is developing his visualization tool as a business venture.

At a time when citizens and budget officers are calling for more creativity in allocating those scarce resources, a little creativity in presenting the budget can make community input a lot more valuable.

Halloween Bash a hit On Oct. 8, 2011, Woodmen of the World Lodge 462 held a Halloween Bash for local children and members at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Champlain.

It was a great success thanks to the following businesses and organizations for their support: Chazy Orchards for donation of apples, donuts and cider; Price Chopper for a gift card donation; Champlain McDonald’s for donating the punch; Sam Dyer for pumpkin donations; Gordie Little for his presence and always enjoyable telling of ghost stories; Chazy and NCCS Key Clubs for all their help setting up and helping on the day of the event; the Champlain Knights of Columbus for providing the hall; Lodge 1 for their poster and monetary support and the members of Lodge 462 who worked hard to put things all together! Thanks, too, to all who attended and donated food for the Mooers and Chazy food shelves!

Sound budget developed The Town of Peru’s Preliminary Budget for 2012 is ready for public scrutiny and the town’s tax levy is well below the 2 percent cap. Tax levies for Town General, Town Highway remained the same as the 2011 levy. The Town Sere tax levy increased by 2 percent due to increased NYS Retirement and employee health insurance costs, but did meet the tax cap requirement of no more than 2 percent. The Valcour Sewer Dis-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR/WEEKLY COLUMNS • North Countryman - 7

trict tax levy decreased from last year due to the retirement of a bond that was secured to much-needed for pay repair/upgrade work in that district. The Peru Water District tax levy decreased due to an upcoming bond retirement which will occur after next year begins. The 2012 budget includes a 1.5 percent cost of living raised for town employees, both elected and appointed.

The 2012 town budget tax levy is a direct result of the hard work of the town board, Brandy McDonald, Kregg Bruno, Sue Polhemus and Jim Douglass and all of the department heads and staff of the town. I would like to thank them for the time and energy they all spent in producing a budget that still provides the high level of services that town residents have come to expect. Throughout the process, they made sound economic decisions that allowed us to absorb increased mandated costs with little effect upon the taxpayer. I also would like to express my appreciation for the hard work of all town employees throughout this past year, a year that sometimes strained our ability to accomplish what was needed on behalf of the town’s residents. Your efforts are greatly appreciated Peter Glushko Town Supervisor Peru

Support is appreciated The staff of the Mooers Food Pantry would like to express their sincere gratitude for all the generous fruits and veg-

etables plus all the donation that have been given to us this past summer.

Without your help we would not be able to continue servicing the eight towns that we support. Again thank you so much and hope to have your support again next summer.

United Way helps many As a town and county supervisor, I know first-hand that government is not always the answer for all of our needs. We have to rely on many other services and people who are there to lend a helping hand.

How would you feel to know there was an organization there to help when your elderly parents, children, grandchildren, friends or neighbors needed assistance? I’ll tell you how I feel — relieved and thankful and that is exactly how you should feel knowing United Way of the Adirondack Region is here in our tri-county communities.

We are very fortunate to have United Way and the 39 partner agencies striding to be a leader in community partnership building and to increase the organized capacity of people to care for one another.

For these organizations to maintain the capability to provide much needed services, we have to reach deep into our hearts and give a donation that you can afford — remember, there is no donation too small; every little bit helps.

A wise friend once of mine once said, “that separately we accomplish little, but together we can accomplish the extraordinary.”

Thank you for your continued generosity and support towards the United Way of the Adirondacks Inc. Gerald H. Morrow United Way Campaign Chair Chesterfield

Humidifiers help humans, houseplants Lunchbox 101 continues

I

will admit that I am one of those people who always try to postpone turning on the heat.

While I could argue that I want to conserve energy or keep my heating bill low, I think it is really denial. I don’t want to fully admit that winter is approaching.

By this point, there is no denying the approaching winter. The heat is on, the air is dry and my humidifiers are out and in full use. While humidifiers are great for us during the winter months, I also run them for my houseplants.

Most houseplants prefer humidity levels of 40 to 50 percent. Unfortunately, the air inside our centrally-heated homes usually falls somewhere near the 10 to 30 percent range during the winter. To houseplants (especially tropical houseplants), this can feel like living in the desert.

If your houseplants are showing any of the following symptoms, the air around them may be too dry: leaf tips are brown and shriveled, leaf edges are turning yellow and wilting, buds and flowers are shriveling and falling off, or the plant is dropping leaves.

Humidifiers are a great way to increase the relative humidity in your home during the winter months. I have several large humidifiers running in my house during the winter. But, you don’t need to raise the humidity of your entire house, just confine

your plants and your humidifier to a single room.

Certain rooms in the house, like bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms, tend to have higher relatively humidity (moister air). As long as they offer plants adequate exposure to light, consider temporarily relocating sensitive plants to these rooms during the winter season.

Another method for increasing the relative humidity around your houseplants is to place them on trays or saucers filled with pebbles and water. The bottoms of the pots should remain above the level of the water to prevent the roots from standing in water. As water evaporates from the pebble tray, it will increase the humidity in the air surrounding the plants.

Many people try to increase the humidity by misting with a water bottle. Unfortunately, this method is not as effective as other humidity increasing methods. Over misting your plants can also lead to fungal growth, especially if the plant remains wet during the night.

ince I had such a great response to my Lunchbox 101 series, I have decided to continue the series on a monthly basis throughout the school year. Now that the weather is getting cooler, I like to know my kids will have something warm in their bellies for lunch.

Some simple ideas are to pack leftovers from the night before like: • Spaghetti • Mac and cheese • Raviolis • Baked ziti or lasagna • Cooked rice with leftover meat and/or veggies • Beans and rice Some other ideas that have gone over well are: • Oatmeal — try to make it interesting. My girls like it with peanut butter and a little agave syrup, or you can try my pumpkin oatmeal recipe from last week’s article.

Taste of Home Cooking School a success, organizers say

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — The Crete Memorial Civic Center was “packed”as Denton Publications and other fine sponsors hosted the second annual Taste of Home Cooking School Nov. 5.

Ed Coats, associate publisher of Denton Publications and New Market Press, who has been organizing Taste of Home locally since first offering it in Burlington, Vt., six years ago, said attendance for this year ’s event exceeded his expectations.

“It was fantastic,” said Coats.

“Though we don’t have the final numbers yet, we know we increased our attendance from last year ... It was a packed house.”

Last year ’s event saw more than 1,100 people turn out for cooking demonstrations from chef Michael Barna. This year, Eric Villegas was the featured culinary specialist. Villegas — who has owned two restaurants, written two cookbooks, and earned two regional Emmy awards for his popular television show, “Fork in the Road with Eric Villegas” — wowed the crowd, said Coats.

“Eric was great,” said Coats. “He really got the crowd going and showed off some really amazing recipes.”

Many people approached Coats and the rest of the Denton Publications staff who were on-hand for the event, telling them how they enjoyed Villegas’ show and the variety of vendors, said Coats.

“People loved the goodie bags, too,” said Coats, referring to the free gift bags given to attendees.

The whole event, noted Coats, could not have happened without the support of the vendors, attendees and sponsors Price Chopper, Wilson's Appliance Center, and Perrywinkle’s Fine Jewelry.

Coats also credited the City of Plattsburgh Recreation Department for their hard work and department director Steve Peters.

“Steve and his staff are always a pleasure to work with,” said Coats.

The show went so well, said Coats, there’s already been talk of hosting another in the spring, rather than waiting until next fall.

“We’re not sure at this point if we will, but this event keeps getting bigger and bigger, so who knows,” said Coats.

Taste of Home Cooking School culinary specialist Eric Villegas poses with Nancy Finley of West Chazy, left, and her family. Finley was the winner of a Frigidaire range donated by Wilson’s Appliance Centers in Plattsburgh. The range was the grand prize given out at the event.

College students learn about ‘fur under the desk’ ELCS teacher talks experience with therapy dog ‘Rowdy’

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com P L AT T S B U R G H — S t u dents in the Council for Exceptional Students at SUNY Plattsburgh were excited to meet their guest of honor at a Nov. 3 event, and maybe give him a little rub behind the ears.

The guest was Rowdy, who for the last eight years has teamed with Elizabethtown-Lewis math teacher Ralph Holzhauer to help students at the school in reading and writing.

Holzhauer said he was used to the attention going to his four-legged partner.

“I’ve gotten used to walking through the halls and the kids saying hi to Rowdy but not to me,” Holzhauer told the group of students and others who attended the presentation at the Angell Center on the PSUC campus. “I’m just the math teacher on the other end of the leash.”

Holzhauer said that Rowdy, a Newfoundland, has been trained in numerous areas and has received Versatile Newfoundland recognition.

“It’s like being named to the hall of fame for his breed,” Holzhauer said.

Holzhauer talked about how Rowdy is used with students in the elementary classes with dog-assisted education and therapy, including reading and writing programs, special instruction programs, assisted activities and therapies and extra curricular activities.

Holzhauer said the younger students will come to his high school math room, located upstairs with, “the big kids.”

“At first, one of the concerns for the kids was coming up with the big kids,” Holzhauer said. “I don’t know how he does it, but Rowdy always knows when they are coming and will announce their presence with a bark or two and that helps.

Of course, its great in the morning when you have a math student who may not be quite awake and to watch them jump when he barks.”

Holzhauer said school officials have been very excited about how Rowdy has helped out and gave examples of how he was able to help students in writing and reading.

“One sixth grader wrote that, ‘even if you didn’t read the best, he would always listen and love you.’ That student is now in ninthgrade, and Rowdy looks

forward to her coming in each morning, so it has come full circle,” he said.

Holzhauer also said older students have been able to read to Rowdy in their foreign language classes.

“Some of the kids who read to Rowdy in elementary school convinced their French teacher to let them read their stories that they had written in French to him,” Holzhauer said, adding, “Of course, he’s multi-lingual, so he still seemed to understand and he still listened.”

Holzhauer also gave an example of how the program had worked with writing.

“The first year of this, I had the second grade teacher coming up to me with tears in her eyes, asking me to read a story a student had written,” he said.

“It was a long story about Rowdy. Then she told me that it was the first time that this student had ever written anything in class.”

Over the last eight years, Holzhauer said he thought every student in the school had at one time or another had personal interactions with Rowdy, whether through reading in the little section of the high school math classroom or in other areas of the school day.

“I have been teaching for 36 years,” Holzhauer said.

Members of the Council for Exceptional Students at SUNY Plattsburgh get a chance to pet Rowdy before the Nov. 3 presentation by “the math teacher on the other end of the leash,” Ralph Holzhauer.

“After eight years with Rowdy, I honestly can say that I do not remember what it was like without him.”

Sean Sullivan, a junior at Plattsburgh State and president of the Council for Exceptional Students, who organized the event, said they were interested in how Holzhauer and Rowdy had

worked together in school.

“We found out through Connie Marsh (advisor to the council) about Ralph and Rowdy and the way that Rowdy is used to help in the school,” Sullivan said. “I think that it is a very valuable tool and kids like the interaction with the dog.”

New Lake Champlain Bridge opens with ceremony Vt. Gov. Shumlin, NY Lt. Gov. Duffy help cut ribbon

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Hundreds of people lined up to cross the new $76 million Lake Champlain Bridge Monday, Nov. 7 — bicyclists, walkers, runners and, finally, the motorists.

First they had to get past New York Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin and a group of VIPs giving speeches and cutting a golden ribbon. Once the hour-long ceremony was over, around 3:30 p.m., the podium was removed, the white chairs stacked against the guard rail, and the crowds streamed across the bridge to Vermont.

It had been more than two years since the 1929 bridge closed here on Oct. 16, 2009.

Commuters and visitors had to take a free ferry to get between Crown Point, N.Y. and Addison, Vt. when the service opened on Feb. 1, 2010. The loss of the old bridge was described multiple times as “an inconvenience.”

While politicians lamented the old bridge — remembered well by more than a dozen ’29ers who had been at the original Aug. 26, 1929 bridge opening — Nov. 7, 2011 was the beginning of a new chapter in the history of

Lake Champlain.

“I want to point out that this is day one,” said Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh.

“We’re going to count forward from here.”

The concept of linking the two states with a new bridge was a common theme among the speakers.

“When I looked out, as I was coming today, I saw the hands of the community, of the state of New York and the federal government reaching out to one another to bring New York and Vermont back together again,” Owens said.

While some spoke of the bridge as a metaphor — connecting the common values of Vermonters and New Yorkers in the Champlain Valley — others described it as a transportation link essential to the everyday lives of residents.

“It’s more than concrete and steel,” said New York Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, R-Willsboro. “It is the link that the North Country has to the closest trauma unit, and many ambulances run back and forth across this bridge.”

Between Oct. 16, 2009 and Feb. 1, 2010, people had to drive around the old bridge site to get to the other side, a commute of more than 100 miles for work, hospital visits, vacations, etc. While the absence of a bridge was a barrier, the presence of a bridge is being seen as a step toward normalcy.

“It’s a place where fire

Motorists travel between Crown Point, N.Y. and Addison, Vt. on the Lake Champlain Bridge around 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7 shortly after the new span opened. More photos of the bridge opening ceremony can be found on-line at www.denpubs.com.

companies run back and forth between Addison, Vt. and Crown Point and conversely from Addison to help each other,” Sayward said. “It’s farmers who have to cross this bridge to feed their cattle and to get their crops. It’s people traveling into New England, it’s New Englanders traveling into New York ... Today, your life begins again.”

Shumlin marveled at the speed of the bridge’s construction.

“This is the best example of government serving people and getting things done that you’ll find anywhere in

the nation,” Shumlin said.

Duffy concurred.

“If you were to turn on the media and the news tonight and any story on any given day, you hear about what’s wrong with government.

You hear all the bad things that are going on in this world,” Duffy said. “And today, we get to celebrate what is right ... to be where we are today in literally two years’ time is nothing short of a miracle.”

Other speakers included New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald; Sue Minter, deputy secretary of

the Vermont Agency of Transportation; Vermont State Rep. Diane Lanpher, DVergennes; Jonathan McDade, New York division administrator for the Federal Highway Administration; Karen Hennessy (New York) and Lorraine Franklin (Vermont), co-chairs of the Lake Champlain Bridge Community; Crown Point Town Supervisor Bethany Kosmider; and New York Sen. Betty Little, R-Queensbury.

“I don’t know that you can have a better bridge,” Little said.

The new Network Tied Arch Bridge is a steel struc-

ture with an arch along the center span. It was designed

by Ted Zoli and built by Flatiron Construction. The bridge’s design makes it safer than the previous structure and will ensure at least a 75-year service life.

Key bridge components are designed to be easily replaceable to reduce maintenance costs. Travel lanes are 11 feet wide, with 5-foot shoulders that will help accommodate larger trucks and farm vehicles, as well as provide ample room for bicyclists. Sidewalks are featured on both sides of the bridge.

Informational meeting on bridge replacement slated for Nov. 15

The State Route 22B bridge which spans the Saranac River in downtown Morrisonville is scheduled to be replaced in late summer 2013. A meeting will be held Tuesday, Nov. 15, to provide the public with information on the project.

SCHUYLER FALLS — Planning has begun to replace an aging bridge in the

hamlet of Morrisonville.

Representatives from the state Department of Transportation will hold a public information meeting Tuesday, Nov. 15, to provide in-

formation and answer questions about a project being proposed by the state to replace the State Route 22B bridge over the Saranac River in downtown Mor-

risonville.

“It’s an old, old bridge,” Schuyler Falls Town Supervisor Harold Ormsby said of the circa 1948 structure.

“It’s needed to be replaced for quite a few years.”

NYSDOT engineer David Moffatt said the state has been examining replacing the bridge for the past three years though noted the current structure is not considered unsafe.

“There are just some structural issues, rust and things like that,” said Moffatt. “It’s just old.”

The replacing of the bridge — which could happen as late summer 2013 and wrap by fall 2014 — is necessary before it gets to the point where it would be unsafe, said Moffatt.

“It’s just to make sure something doesn’t happen,” emphasized Moffatt.

“There is no critical issue.”

The estimated $9 million bridge replacement project would be federally-funded and involve building a temporary bridge adjacent to the existing one as it is demolished, said Moffatt.

Temporary traffic signals would be installed to regulate traffic and curbing, sidewalks and associated waterlines will be replaced.

“It will be a slight inconvenience for motorists, but it shouldn’t be that bad,” he said.

The alternative would have been to provide a lengthy detour for traffic, which Moffatt said would likely have not been favorable for those who frequently use the current bridge.

The new bridge will also be a steel truss structure with an arch design similar to the current one. The new structure will also have

wider lanes, added Moffatt.

“As I understand it, there have been accidents there before. This would hopefully correct that,” said Moffatt.

Ormsby agreed the intersection — specifically the width of the lanes themselves on the bridge — has been a potential accident waiting to happen over the years.

“When you get one truck and another going through there, it’s tight,” said Ormsby.

As he understands it, the new bridge will also be higher over the river, said Orsmby.

“Which is good, because we’ve had ice jams [under the bridge] before. Not in quite a few years, but it has happened,” the supervisor said.

The Nov. 15 meeting will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Schuyler Falls Town Hall, 997 Mason St., in Morrisonville.

Those interested in more information on the project may contact Moffatt at 1315-785-2303 or send correspondence to: David Moffatt, P.E., Region 7 Design, NYS Department of Transportation, Dulles State Office Bldg., 317 Washington St., Watertown N.Y. 13601.

Parade of champions in Sections VII, teams prepare for regionals

Jess Huber scored the lone goal of the game on a Kallie Villemaire assist in the third minute of the game as the unbeaten Beekmantown Lady Eagles scored the 1-0 win against the Lady Hornets of Plattsburgh High Nov. 4.

“We have worked well with each other throughout the season,” Huber said of her connection with Villemaire.

“I saw her open in the middle and I knew that if I could get the ball in that she would be able to finish,” Villemaire said. “We work good together.”

“Right from the beginning, this team started working hard and we try to concentrate on the basics of soccer,” Eagles head coach Erin Norris said. “I always tell them that I want a goal in the first two minutes. We have a pair of dynamic scorers up front in Kallie and Jess and they have compatible speeds

Football Class B

The Peru Indians jumped out to a 21-0 lead then held on as the Beekmantown Eagles scored 14 unanswered and may have scored the tying touchdown if not for a strange play during the Section VII Class B title game Nov. 5.

The Indians, who captured the title with a 21-14 score, were able to force a fumble after Beekmantown’s Luke Weaver had caught a pass and ran for what appeared to be a 66yard scoring play. However, the officials never blew their whistles, and Peru recovered the fumble.

“The officials said that he had never crossed the plane,” Beekmantown head coach Jamie Lozier said. “However, we didn’t do anything in the first half and it is frustrating when we prepared as hard as we did throughout the week and then had a lot of things go wrong.”

“I would have preferred to have ended a little better on defense, “Peru head coach Nick Damiani said. “We did a nice job defensively through the first three quarters, but the combinations of Carter Frechette and Luke Weaver started clicking. They played tough, and they had an opportunity to get the ball and tie the game.”

Damiani said that the title was something that would sink in later on, and that the team would enjoy it until it was time to prepare for Schalmont on Monday.

“I told them to enjoy tonight and tomorrow, then on Monday we come back to the practice field and do it all over again. We want to take Section VII football down to Section II and make some noise.”

Boys soccer Class B

The Beekmantown Eagles proved that their semifinal win over the Northeastern Clinton Cougars was not a fluke as the thirdseeded Eagles scored a 1-0 win over the fifthranked team in the state, the Plattsburgh Hornets, to capture the Class B title.

“I was looking up the field and was able to run through the ball,” Austin Burl, who scored the lone goal for the Eagles, said.

“We focused 100 percent and made sure that we played every ball out in each game of the sectionals,” sweeper Keon Jahanbakhsh said.

“We are on a roll right now and I would like to see this team go deep into the state tournament,” Eagles head coach Ryan Loucy said.

Sweeper Nathan Reynolds said that the defensive plan was to make sure that everyone on Chazy knew where prolific Willsboro scorer Clay Sherman was at all times.

“We put pressure on him all the time,” Reynolds said. “You have to give credit to Willsboro, they are a great team and we had to come together as a team and work as hard as we have to get the win.”

“I had faith that we would play a strong defensive game, but with as much time was left and how good Willsboro is, I wasn’t sure if we were safe,” Eagles head coach Rob McAuliffe said. “We tried to get to Sherman early before he could do anything with possession.”

“This was by far the best of the three games,” Willsboro head coach Andy Lee said. “It was back and forth, 50-50 paly. They happened to get us today.”

Along with the team play, Lee said that he was impressed with the play of senior sweeper Dakota Sayward, who played the game with a torn MCL and partially torn ACL. “Dakota was out there for everything and he left his heart out there,” Lee said. “It was two great defensive efforts. Chazy is known for the offense and scoring, but it is their de-

Class C

The Northern Adirondack Bobcats jumped out to an early lead over the Lake Placid Blue Bombers and did not look back in scoring the 3-0 win.

Nolan Ferguson scored in the fourth minute of the game off an assist from Scott Kellett, while Shane Trudeau connected on a pass from Josh Rabideau in the 17th minute and Justin Kellett scored 1:13 seconds later to give the Bobcats a 3-0 lead that would hold for the rest of the contest.

Ethan Mousseau made seven saves in the win for the Bobcats, who advanced to regional play with a record of 7-8-0. J.P. Morrison made 14 saves in the loss, as the Blue Bombers finished the 2011 season with a record of 5-9-0.

Class C The Saranac Lake Red Storm rolled out to a 57-0 lead, while the AuSable Valley Patriots scored twice in the fourth quarter as the Storm advanced to face Hoosick Falls for the second straight year in the Class C regionals

The Chazy Eagles took their first lead in 168 minutes of play against the Willsboro Warriors in the Nov. 5 Class D championship game, and were able to hold the 1-0 advantage for 72 more minutes in scoring a Class D championship.

“I knew that I had to get the ball on net as fast as I could,” Hunter Dominy, who scored the goal for the Eagles, said. “I still thought

and they work well together.”

Class C

Haley Brandes opened the scoring in the 17th minute, when she headed a cross from Mackenzie Kemmerer to open the scoring at 1-0 as the Lake Placid Blue Bombers scored a 3-0 win against the Seton Catholic Lady Knights for the Class C girls title.

Ayla Thompson then scored in the 47th minute on an assist from Brook Reid. Reid scored the final goal of the game for the Blue Bombers in the 68th minute on a Payton Barney assist.

Liz Leff made two saves in the championship victory for the Blue Bombers (11-4-2), picking up her ninth shutout of the season.

Shannon Olsen made 15 saves in the loss for the Knights, who ended the 2011 season with a record of 8-10-0.

Girls soccer Class B

Caitlyn LaPier and Megan Reynolds each scored two goals and tallied one assist as the Chazy Lady Eagles scored a 5-1 victory over the Elizabethtown-Lewis Lady Lions for their seventh straight Section VII/Class D girls title.

“I think that it is just as sweet every time,” LaPier said. “They are great competition and a great program at ELCS. We look forward to playing them every time.”

“In every game have worked just as hard to get to this goal, and it feels great,” Reynolds said. “The team connected in so many different ways this year and we have a lot of connection.”

“Every year, our mission is to go back into the state tournament,” Eagles head coach Karin Sherman-Trombley said. “Elizabethtown always comes at us aggressive and hard and the defense has been remarkable.”
