Minerva prelim budget meets cap

This Week LOCAL

By Maggie Morgan maggie@denpubs.com

MINERVAÑ Stephen McNally, town supervisor of Minerva, has released details regarding the townÕ s 2015 budget. On Nov. 3, a hearing will be held for residents to discuss the propsosals.

The preliminary budget for 2015 has a tax levy of $1,590,437, which is up $44,835 from 2014.

The tax rate will only be increased an estimated 20-cents per $1,000 of assessed property value.

McNally reported the most significant reasons for the increase are based on health insurance, compensation and general insurances for the town. The supervisor also noted the largest obstacle last year was due to the extreme spike in utility bills.

The town board has been researching budgets from years past and have found ways to save on the tax levy. They have also been involved with a sevenweek audit with the New York State Comptroller’s Office that has given them useful information regarding the budget.

McNallyÕ s main priority with the budget planning strategy was to decrease the amount of money needed from taxpayers.

With the costs of programs and services increasing every year, McNally and the board have found this challenging. However, the town is continuing to research ways that will allow them to do more (or equal) with less.

McNally commented the town has instituted some new programs in the past year that have already began to save the town money, one being the new recycling center.

Residents urge Indian Lake Board of Education to find efficiencies

By Bill Quinlivan

OUTDOORS

Trunk or Treat event set in Pottersville

INDIAN LAKE Ñ Since the allegations of nonpayment of taxes by Indian Lake School Superintendent, Mark Brand, there has been an increase in attendance by residents to the monthly ILCSD Board of Education meetings. OctoberÕ s meeting saw a continuation of this increased attendance and involvement by residents.

For the most part, the interests have been on urging the IL Board of Education to more aggressively concentrate on efficiencies such as combining classes and sharing of Principal, Superintendent and admin-

istrative resources across a number of school districts.

The hope is to lower the overhead factor of the Indian Lake School District.

In SeptemberÕ s BOE meeting, resident, Donna Benton delivered a written proposal to the board and she was on hand during the October meeting looking for feedback from the Board.

Board President Jon Voorhees responded to Benton that he had delivered to her his personal response to her proposal, but Benton said she was interested in knowing if the remainder of the Board had the opportunity to review her proposal and, if so, she would like to hear their comments or address any questions that they might have. Though there was no feedback

from other members of the board, Voorhees responded, Ò Sharing of superintendents is now legally available to us, but these things take timeÓ .

Next, Ed Graves asked Voorhees, Ò Have there been any discussions with other districts about such sharing?Ó Voorhees responded that True North School meetings are where these discussions should take place. Ó It has never been easy to get districts to share [resources] despite tough budgets, but now that budgets are continuing to be tough perhaps more districts will be willing to merge positions,Ó Voorhees said.

Trunk or Treat program coming to Pottersville

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com POTTERSVILLE Ñ Nicole Howe of Pottersville noticed children were traveling out of town on Halloween in order to show off their costumes and collect candy.

Howe had heard of an initiative in the south after Hurricane Irene where people would gather to decorate their cars and give candy to local children, so she decided to do the same in Pottersville. Ò Trunk or Treat,Ó will be happening in Pottersville on Friday, Oct. 31. The town is invited to park their cars in the lots of the old firehouse, church, Railroads on Parade and the Redemption Center and decorate them with Halloween spooks and spirits.

Children will be able to walk from parking lot to parking lot, going to cars as they would different homes, but this time asking, Ò Trunk or Treat!?Ó Howe said she knows other Trunk or Treat intiatives have been very successful in neighboring towns and is hoping Potterville’s first of what she hopes become annual attempts will bring just as many people. The organizer said the string of locations are well lit with street lights and have sidewalks between each stop so people can feel comfortable traveling throughout the town.

Howe has spread the word through flyers and social media so far and is hoping the event will gather many ghosts and ghouls together. She said a townwide Halloween celebration will allow children from Pottersville to stay close to home instead of traveling to neighboring areas to collect their treats.

JOHNSBURG Ñ On Oct. 26, the Tannery Pond Community Center had evil lurking behind its doors. Our Town Theater Group presented their last showing of the classic horror story, Ò Dracula,Ó drawing in a full house to the dark side.

The acting troupe, comprised of community members from the region, put on a spectacular rendition of the well known tale written by Halmilton Deane and John L. Balderston.

Director Anne Vaccaro had a vision for the show that made the talents of cast members shine through the story. The set on stage remained generally the same throughout the play so audience members were not distracted but rather focused on the nightmare of Dracula.

Though the entire cast put on a brilliant performance, some characters outdid themselves.

Daniel Studnicky as John Harker was animated and poised. Studnicky was extremely committed to portraying a realistic depiction of hurt, worry, and most importantly-fear. As his fiance, Lucy, played by Hannah Jay, was drained of her life with every passing moment, Studnicky showed audiences a forlorn, heartbroken Harker who was desperate to kill the thing that was torturing his Lucy.

Jay put on a stellar performance herself to deliver audience members the sickly, dying Lucy.

Spectators felt compelled at times to jump on stage and nurse the girl back to life as Lucy had the life sucked out of her by the bone chilling Count Dracula. Other times, the audience felt a

to save Lucy made audience members confident that he would protect the entire theater from DraculaÕ s thirst for blood.

Dracula, played by Dennis Wilson, was mysterious and terrifying. The development of the character put an even more horrifying twist to the idea many people might already have of the notorious villain. The way Wilson laughed menacingly and crept across the stage made those in attendance wonder if he would leap off and sink his fangs into an unsuspecting spectator.

Other cast members, especially Georgia Burkhardt and Eric D. Potter, had impeccable comedic timing and their portrayals of their characters Ms. Wells, the maid and Renfield, the mad man, respectively, provided moments of laughter in a story that usually incites screams.

The set design was genuine and believable, lending itself to the late 1800Õ s, and often times cast members used the entire theater space to perform, at one point even holding lanterns on the balcony. The costumes complemented the stage setting and storyline perfectly, further drawing audiences into the story.

After the last scene ended and the cast took their bows, Grigsby reached his hand to the young Molly Smith, who played a small role in the beginning of the play. Smith moved forward slowly and then flashed her sharpened, vampire fangs.

Grigsby warned audience members that tonight before crawling into bed if something is knocking in the darkness, remember that, Ò things like this really do exist.Ó Smith didnÕ t blink, her fangs still shining under the stage lights.

It’s the North Country: Be prepared

N

ow that we’ve all had out fill of the lovely fall colors, hot mulled cider and warm sugar donuts, itÕ s time to get down to the business of being from the North Country.

With only double digit days left until the end of the year, and snow in the forecast THIS WEEK, preparations for winter should be almost done by now, not just beginning. For far too many people in our region, preparations arenÕ t even underway, but are simply an after-thought once trouble arises.

When the snow starts to fly, the place for snow tires are on the car, not in the garage or on the tire rack at Sears. The first snowfall is historically a day of carnage on the roads, partly because people forget how to drive in the snow, but in no small part due to their trying to drive on summer slicks. Stop by any garage that sells tires the day after the first good snowstorm and observe the line of people desperate for their snow tires. Get them on now and save some time, very likely some money, and potentially a whole lot of front end damage.

Many people in the North Country lived through the ice storm of Ô 98. If you didnÕ t, chances are good that youÕ ve heard about it. Will we ever have another ice storm of that size and duration?

Your guess is as good as ours, but the trend for storms becoming worse and worse certainly leaves the possibility open. Even if we donÕ t see a storm of that magnitude, the chances are great that every winter we will lose power for one or several days due to ice and snow. DonÕ t be the person in line at the big box store on day two of a power failure looking for a generator to buy. They wonÕ t have any. if they do, youÕ ll likely pay about double for it. Now is the time to think about what you will need to keep your food from thawing and your pipes from freezing if you lose power for more than a few hours. If you determine that that means you need a generator, now is the time to buy one, not after the lights are out. If we do lose power for any extended period of time, the news will be populated with stories of people who die of carbon monoxide poisoning, or in house fires caused by Ô improvisedÕ heating systems. DonÕ t be a statistic, prepare now.

It seems obvious to state, but generators, and cars for that matter, run on gas Ñ lots of gas. Having a nice generator and one gallon of gas is not much help. A five gallon gas can will run a decentsized generator on and off for several days. Invest. And ice storms typically donÕ t sneak up on us.

If you hear of one in the offing, fill up your car in advance.

If a generator just isnÕ t in the budget, then at least everyone should have a supply of candles, flashlights and the like on hand. Not only do stores sell out of these items on about day two of a power outage, but driving to town to buy them puts you, other people, and emergency crews at risk when you should be home working your way through Ò War and PeaceÓ by candlelight.

With a good-sized ice or snow storm also comes driving bans. How many days can your food supply last? Thinking back to Ô 98, grocery stores donÕ t typically have more than a couple days worth of food supply on hand. A good North Country pantry should have at least that much nonperishable food already on hand. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy; some dry pasta entrees, a couple large cans of beef stew, a few gallons of bottled water. Just enough to keep you off the roads until they are safe to drive on and the grocery stores start getting deliveries again.

And finally, you aren’t the only one likely to get hungry after about two or three days with no contact to the outside world Ñ your dog or cat will be too. Anyone with pets should have a backup supply of food on hand for your pets as well. Again, its a safety issue to keep as many people off the roads as possible, but also because pet food stores can run out of food as well. You should have an extra large bag on hand at all times. When you finish a bag, use the extra bag and replace it, so itÕ s always somewhat fresh. That way youÕ re never out anything, and the animals under your care are taken care of too.

In short, you know itÕ s likely coming. Prepare now. No money you spend, whether its on food, gas or other supplies, is wasted. It may not save your life, but it can certainly make an uncomfortable time much more livable. ÑD

Indian Lake

Continued from page 1 Board Vice President David Harrington added that he would like to get True North Board meetings to be held every three months, but it seems like it takes three or four True North Superintendent meetings before there is a True North Board meeting.

Graves responded that the issue of Ò superintendent sharingÓ should be taken up by the True North meetings for District Board members because there is an, “inherent conflict of interest in having Superintendents consider the question of how they cut their own positions.Ó Graves closed his comments by positively commending the Board for the work that it has done in attracting International Students and recognized that this is one area that has a direct impact on revenues for the ILCSD. Taking another tact at efficiency improvement, Mark Shaw was on hand to present a written proposal to the board. The stated objective of the proposal was to get the school district more integrated with and helpful to the community as a school and a student body. Shaw envisions a side benefit of raising funds through the provision of needed services by the school, the student body and even parents to various sectors of the community.

Voorhees response to Shaw was that the students were already doing some fundraising and, Ò the kids have a lot of demands on their time.Ó Shaw responded that beyond fundraising, there was also the objective of getting youth more involved with and build a deeper attachment with the community. Shaw highlighted the objective of trying to keep kids and families here in the town by creating a tighter bond through community involvement of the parents and students.

Principal’s report

Principal Dave Snide announced the fact that Bill Murphy has given the school a large amount of new tools for use by the students. Harrington suggested to that he should get a letter of thanks out to Murphy.

Twelve students are taking at least one college level course through North Country Community College. Some students are taking as many as 25 credits this year at $60 per course vs. $400 usual course cost. Snide recognized Mrs. Genine Longacker as the coordinator of the program.

There is a survey to the community being prepared. The survey objective will be to acquire thoughts, needs and desires regarding alternative sports such as golf, volleyball, tennis and more. Harrington felt that this would also be an excellent subject for an upcoming True North Meeting as well.

Nov. 20 is the date for the Parent/Teacher meeting from 3 to 6 p.m.

Varsity Basketball season opens on Nov. 4. Modified opens on Nov. 10.

Superintendent’s report

Brand announced that, Ò we are up for Middle School to Watch again this year.Ó Installation of an emergency generator is scheduled to begin the first week of November.

Pellet and new oil fired boilers project plan and specifications have been submitted to New York State Education Department for review and approval. The solar project is something that the school is still interested in as well.

Other business:

Megan Nevins was approved as substitute teacher; Roy Tracey was approved for bus driver training; the board accepted Rachel Levesque for Modified boys basketball for 2014-2015; Craig Seamen accepted for varsity boys basketball 2014-2015; Richard Dechene accepted for varsity girls basketball 2014-2015.

The board unanimously approved bond resolution for the boiler project; a resolution for regional advocacy was unanimously approved by the board; unanimously approved the agreement for a part time school psychologist.

The next ILCDS board meeting will be Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. in the school cafeteria.

Minerva

Continued from page 1 Ò The new recycling center at the transfer station is completed and we have seen an increase in the amount of recyclables and less items being thrown in with the general trash...this will save on the number of pounds of trash we have to pay to get rid of,Ó said McNally.

There are also new projects in the works. The board recently signed an agreement with Edge Design and Consulting Firm out of Plattsburgh. The firm has been hired to install solar panels at three different locations in town, offsetting costs on this yearÕ s utility bills. McNally hopes this will help with the strategy he is using for saving.

“At this time we need to adjust our thinking and stress efficiency,Ó said McNally. Ò It sounds easier than it actually is but I am confident that we can.”

Letters to the Editor

Questions letter, editorial

Farmer’s market grows

To the News Enterprise: Two recent Op-Ed pieces, an editorial and a letter to the editor, raise some interesting questions.

First, you recently published a Letter to the Editor titled Ò Who will you vote for?,Ó which was a thinly veiled candidate endorsement. ItÕ s my understanding that your paper does not publish unpaid endorsements of political candidates. The fact that you ran that endorsement calls into question the fairness with which you approach your own policy.

Second, that same letter and your recent editorial about non-profits paying their Ò fair shareÓ in the Adirondack Park raise some interesting questions about the role of non-profits and government inside the blue line. I recently moved back to the North Country after having lived my young adult life away from this area. The reason I was able to return was because I found a good job…a job with a non-profit (and not one in the health and human services sector). One of the interesting things IÕ ve found since IÕ ve returned has been the vibrancy that exists in our community around non-profits and certain small businesses. These organizations are taking advantage of our regionÕ s biggest natural resourceÉ open land and wild areas. ItÕ s one of the reasons I was so excited to join the board of Champlain Area Trails (CATS), which the letter so oddly dismissed. No land is Ò tied upÓ by CATS. In fact, those trails make these resources more accessible for residents and visitors alike. In addition, look around and itÕ s easy to see a burgeoning industry in this area around small, sustainable agriculture. If it wasnÕ t for Ò regulationÓ and the protection of our natural resources then these non-profits and small businesses wouldn’t exist and weÕ d be in even worse shape economically.

If your editorial board and others who made these criticisms bothered to exam the issue broadly, they might find that the economic issues we deal with here in the Adirondacks are no different than rural communities all over the country. What that means for us then is that we have an advantage because we live inside the blue line. WeÕ ve protected our resources, which means we can attract people interested in finding sustainable and economically viable ways of creating long-term economic growth, rather than exploiting our resources for short term gain. Instead of leveling the same old tired critiques about “regulation” and “non-profits not paying property tax” and then also dismissing the efforts of those making positive change, how about we start thinking strategically about ways of leveraging our significant (and beautiful) resources to attract even more innovative non-profits (like CATS) and sustainable small businesses to our area.

That, to me, seems like a more sensible way forwardÉ certainly a more positive one.

Evan George CATS Board Member Westport

To the News Enterprise: The Indian Lake Community Farmers Market (ILCFM) Steering Committee would like to thank the community for their support and participation in our successful 2014 Farmers Market held Saturdays, July 5, through September 27. The Market witnessed a welcomed increase in the number of market vendors, from 4 in 2013 to 13 for this yearÕ s Market. Thank you Brian Wells, Indian Lake Town Supervisor, for arranging permission to hold the Market on the former grocery store property, located at the intersection of Routes 28 and 30.

The location was spacious and proved to be a highly visible location for the Market.

2014 Market goals were to provide access to fresh, healthy and affordable food, provide a venue for farmers and crafters to sell their products directly to the community, provide opportunities for community groups and organizations to promote their services and programs and to assist in revitalizing the Main Street by increasing pedestrian traffic. All 2014 goals were achieved.

Thank you Daryl and Deb Smith, Dyanne Crotty and her Dulcimer Sistas, Ryan Leddick and Eva Andersson for providing musical entertainment. Thanks to the Hamilton County Public Health Nursing Services, Adirondack North Country Association, Hamilton County Cooperative Extension Services, HFM Prevention Council, Indian Lake Library, Adirondack Energy Efficiency, Hamilton County SherriffÕ s Department and Nispen ADK Builders, for helping provide informative and educational experiences for Market visitors.

Our 2014 Ò Market AmbassadorsÓ were also a great hit. On each market day, Terry DeArmas, Peppi Graves, Linda Ovitt, Marti Evanoff or Erica Mahoney, community volunteers, assisted in greeting and welcoming visitors and provided information about our Town and surrounding areas.

2014 ILCFM Steering Committee: Father Phillip Allen, Liz Cannan, Taff Fitterer, Mary Robertson, Danielle Shaw and Brenda Valentine.

Challenge to editorial To the News Enterprise: I am writing in response to your recent opinion column on the tax treatment of not for profit corporations in the Adirondacks. The editorial board suggests (1) that (certain) not for profits should not enjoy tax exempt status, and (2) that eliminating that privilege would increase municipal revenue. IÕ d like to challenge your premise, and your math.

You begin by stating that a property tax exemption Ò seems like a legally sanctioned form of squatting.Ó You state that Ò some health care centers and hospitals say they provide a valuable service to the poor and have applied for tax exempt status.Ó Actually the patient make-up of a hospital has no bearing on the tax status of the business. Hospitals can operate as municipal, for profit, or not for profit corporations. The overwhelming majority of hospitals in this country operate as not for profits. That status helps to assure that the company’s primary purpose is to benefit the patients with no profit motive. All forms of hospitals take care of poor patients. All, including not for profits, expect patients to pay personally, or through insurance or Medicaid.

In addition to health care it will usually be a not for profit “.org” that provides the emergency services and disaster response, the cultural opportunities and meeting places for houses of worship, the environmentally sensitive economic development and conservation efforts to help preserve the character of our Adirondack communities. The amount of money that these organizations might save from a property tax exemption is miniscule when compared to the positive economic impact that they make in their communities. I spend much of my time working with performing arts organizations. Numerous studies have shown that the economic impact of these groups Ð from job creation, tickets sales, and ancillary patron spending on meals, hotels, etc., dwarfs the few thousand dollars that they might save annually on property taxes. In addition these performing arts organizations provide much needed educational opportunities for children whose schoolsÕ music or art department has most likely been cut back or shuttered completely.

Lastly, you target organizations that might only benefit second home owners who have Ò dropped inÓ from outside the region. I would love to know which organizations you think only benefit this Ò select insular audienceÓ . You mention none. Who shall decide which organizations are worthy Ð based strictly on merit - and which ones are not? That is a very slippery slope. And consider this: here in Schroon Lake most of the homes belong to this Ò select insular audienceÓ .

That is a situation not unique to Schroon Lake. Every year, we second homeowners write checks to support our schools. We have no children attending the local school(s). When the Schroon Lake Central School required millions of dollars in state mandated upgrades a few years ago, most of those millions came from the weekenders and vacation homeowners. I, for one, happily supported that. Our school – and our teachers – rank among the best in the state. That benefits everyone, not just in a better educated population, but in quality of life and in property values.

You suggest that municipalities shine the floodlights on the not for profits in their communities to “determine if they benefit the community as a whole, or just the chosen fewÓ . I wholeheartedly agree. I am completely confident that those organizations will get a thank you letter, and not the tax bill that you propose.

Joseph C. Steiniger Schroon Lake

Against Prop 4 To the News Enterprise: When EMS is a part of all of the expenses that the town board must consider, it must look at EMS as just one of many town requirements and allocate an appropriate portion of available funds to that purpose. An independent taxing district lacks this essential discipline. I will vote Ò noÓ on proposition 4.

Don Greene North Creek

Vote yes on Prop 4 To the News Enterprise: On Nov. 4 the stakes are high for your emergency squad remaining local. Voting yes to proposition 4 says you want to have an ambulance in this town that will get to your emergency quickly and deliver the best possible care for you and your family.

Last year 75 percent of our revenue came from patient insurance billing, but we have fixed costs that won’t allow us to raise more. The number of patients we transport has stayed the same for ten years.

Most of our patients have government insurance which pays too little and doesn’t increase with inflation.

The town gave us $65,000 last year. That number has remained fixed for years. We need more to survive. In 2015, we face two major increases. We must pay to replace our volunteer managers and drivers, and we must increase wages and offer some benefits to keep certified professionals working in Johnsburg.

EMS service is a professional business. Our ambulances are mobile emergency rooms. Our paid paramedics are highly trained professionals. We cannot expect the job to be done by volunteers, just as we canÕ t expect volunteers to run a half million dollar 24 hour emergency medical business with ten employees. We can’t even find enough volunteers to drive.

As a resident said to me, Ò I work all day 40 miles away, I have two kids to help with homework as well as get dinner when I get home; I have no time to volunteerÑ so I just have to pay for the service.Ó For most residents, that payment will be $73 or less each year for the entire household.

A local ambulance service is a necessity in a community that sits 38 miles away from a hospital. Voting yes will guarantee your squad remains local, timely, and professional for many years to come. On Nov. 4, please, on the back of the ballot check YES next to Prop 4. DonÕ t wait for an emergency to wish you had.

Joe Connelly President JEMS

Mill Creek Musings

By Jan Nickerson

M

uch has been written on the subject of smiling. In song we are told to let a smile be our umbrella on a rainy, rainy day, and admonished to smile though our heart is breaking, smile even though its aching. That is certainly a tall order. I think for a smile to be a genuine expression the one smiling must be in good humor.

I recently visited a dental office where the walls were covered with sayings having to do with smiling: Ò YouÕ re never fully dressed without a smile”; “A smile is happiness you will find right under your nose”; “A warm smile is the universal language of kindness”; “Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody’s heart”; “Peace begins with a smile”. Mark Twain said, “Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have beenÓ .

My personal favorite is a little poem by F. Scott Fitzgerald: Ò It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving.

But like morning light, it scattered the night And made the day worth livingÓ .

Pass it on!

ADK Shakespeare Company seeks funding for cultural center maggie@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKEÑ Patrick Siler and Tara Bradway, founders of the Adirondack Shakespeare Company, are seeking state funding for a cultural center.

The two visionaries think that the Adirondacks are in desperate need of a place for the arts to call home. The center would bring various enti-

ties under one roof, perhaps bringing to light all of the ideas the community has hiding in its shadows.

Often times, people take for granted how breathtaking this region is. Morning commutes consist of peaceful drives over windy mountains instead of bumper to bumper traffic through gridlocked streets. Inspiration lurks around every corner and a certain kind of magic exists between the tall

trees towering over each town.

If this is such a wondrous place, why is it that the young, intellectual locals seem to migrate away from here? Siler and Bradway think that they can explain. Ò ItÕ s directly related to Ô Brain-drain,Õ Ó said Siler. Ò A cultural center would break the cycle. We need to keep things together and find opportunities. Whether it is creating new things or finding old ones to change and make better.Ó Ò Brain-drain,Ó is a phenomenon defined as, “a situation in which many educated or

professional people leave a particular place or profession and move to another one that gives them better pay or living conditions.Ó There is no cultural hub or center in our region where young minds can feed off of one another. There is not an established gallery for art exhibits. There is not a go-to performing arts center. There is not a well known place where young people can come together to create and watch things be created.

Siler and Bradway think they have just the spot for this to happen, as long as they can

get the right people on board.

The Adirondack Shakespeare Company cofounders became Stewards to the Scaroon Manor Ampitheater in 2013. NYS acquired the beautiful site in 1967 and it has since been used for various activities, including a performance stage for the ADK Shakespeare Co. Last year, the company applied for the ampitheater to be recognized on the State and National Register of Historic Places. In 2014, they applied for funding from the NYS Regional Economic Development Fund. As Stewards, Siler and Bradway have the authority

to raise funds and awareness in their efforts to support the space and its potential uses.

ADK ShakespeareÕ s website states the company is, Ò dedicated to restoring this incredible performance space to its heigh-day, but we can only achieve this with your help! With a fully restored performance space, we can be a part of the revitalization of the Schroon Lake Region providing arts and culture to the region, the country, and the world.Ó People in the area should not have to trade a place they call home in order to be in a place with more opportunity, and the duo of Siler and Bradway want to bring those opportunities to this region.

They want this to be a place that will welcome young professionals, artists, and locals to all live together in harmony.

By giving the area an Ò upgradeÓ of sorts, it will essentially give locals a reason to never want to leave. This initiative can do nothing but good for the community; as it snowballs, it will boost the economy, make the region a year-round destination spot, and create a space for several communities to come together. This process can be approached by tackling one thing at a time, beginning with a cultural center.

Siler thinks the problem exists in part because people are not aware of each otherÕ s interests. He thinks that each individual entity is solely focused on trying to market themselves instead of coming together under one cause. Ò ItÕ s almost like a laser-like focus on one simple thing, we need to begin to string things togetherÓ Siler said, Ò itÕ s hard to forge your own path.Ó Siler notes the rich cultural history that exists in the region, commenting on the Native American tribes who called the area home. He continued the conversation using these tribes as a metaphor to the situation at hand. Ò Some [of our history] is lost, some of it is here and itÕ s now or never,Ó Siler said, Ò it is about bringing the tribes together.Ó He went further into his explanation, linking everything the area has to offer. Siler envisions the cultural center being comparable to the Wild Center in Tupper Lake. This nationally recognized establishment has forged its own path in the environmental and nature world, making strides in becoming the Ò place to goÓ for wildlife education. The Wild Center is now an authority in its own right, exactly how Siler and Bradway hope the propsed cultural center would be.

Siler and Bradway are passionate, realistic, and community-minded. The two progressive minds call the Adirondacks home and want to find a professional career here and sustain it, much like many other people in the area.

The addition of this cultural center could be the beginning of moving the community into the future. Siler wants locals to join together, to realize their potential as a unit, and to create something beautiful.

As the conversation came to a close, Siler quoted Thomas Hobbes and his ideas on the nature of mankind. Ò Apart, rather than together,Ó Siler said, Ò Hobbes would say life is Ô solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short.Õ Ó

Strong season comes to end for Johnsburg cross country team NORTH CREEK Ñ The Johnsburg Central SchoolÕ s cross country team wrapped up their regular season on Thursday Oct. 24.

The weather was not at all cooperative, as rain and cold swirled around the Queensbury course for the Adirondack League Championships.

In the varsity girls’ race, Gillian Hayden ran a personal best time (23:03) to place fifth in the league and gain a spot on the League all-star team. Sasha Kinblom finished strong in 16th place with a time of 25:54.

The boysÕ varsity team also had a strong day. Terry Allard earned a spot on the all-star team with a strong fourth place finish (17:53) and a personal best time. Harry Helinski followed Terry in 32nd place with a personal record of 21:40. Caelan LÕ Hommedieu followed Harry in 36th place with a time of 22:03. Ò These kids really optimized their hard training this year, and faced the aversive weather with inner strength. I am so proud of the whole team, and for their personal performances today,Ó coach Gary Wilson said. Ò These athletes ran through cold, ankle deep puddles the whole way without even thinking about it. A great showing for Johnsburg cross country.Ó RIGHT: Johnsburg cross country team members Terry Allard and Gillian Hayden earned All Adirondack League honors during the annual league championship race Oct. 24. Allard was fourth in the boys race, while Hayden was fifth in the girls event, running a personal best time.

CROWN POINT Ñ As two highly skilled varsity boys soccer teams faced off, it was difficult to determine who would claim the win.

With talented players on both teams, no one really seemed to have the upperhand. In the second half of the sectional face-off, MinervaNewcomb found intensity and rallied over the Crown Point Panthers, 5-3, Oct. 23.

The wind and rain didnÕ t stop players of either team from bringing their best effort. From the second the match started, the determination in both teams lit up the field. The ball seemed to volley back and forth between the Panthers and the Mountaineers as their defensive efforts held offensive forces from scoring a goal.

Chad Stephens of the Panthers put on an allstar defensive performance, heading balls that seemed unreachable. He was joined by Kolby Pertak, whose quick footing halted countless efforts by the Mountaineers.

The defensive efforts of both teams made a 0-0 score seem like a real possibility. Chance Potter changed of all of that when he scored the first goal for Crown Point. The cage was unmanned as Minerva-NewcombÕ s goalie Caleb Winter was busy monitoring his end of the field.

Crown Point dominated the field after the first goal as the surge of energy took over the entire team. Potter took another shot on goal, this time blocked by Winter. Shortly after, Crown PointÕ s Noah Macey was on a breakaway, with no one able to stop him, he scored the second goal for the Panthers.

Mickey Johnson and David Giminez-Alguea didnÕ t let the 2-0 lead stop them from pushing forward and making things happen on the MountaineerÕ s offensive end. Though Crown Point goalie Brendan Crowingshield had some incredible stops, Giminez-Alguea pushed through the intimidating defense to score the Mountaineer’s first goal.

The Mountaineers knew time was running out and pressed the action in the Crown Point end of the field. Crown Point’s Crowingshield blocked several shot attempts before the MountaineerÕ s Aiden LaCourse tied the game at 2-2

with his first varsity goal.

Kalab HelmsÕ ball handling set the Mountaineers up for countless scoring opportunities.

However, the PantherÕ s Judd DeBrobander netted the ball in the top right corner of WinterÕ s net, making the score 3-2 in Crown PointÕ s favor as the half ended.

After the half, it seemed as if the Mountaineers became another team. Their intensity rose and their offensive efforts became apparent as they dominated the majority of the second half.

Johnson knocked in the first goal of the second half as the PantherÕ s defense scrambled to catch up. Crowingshield made three unlikely saves against Kalab HelmsÕ three shot attempts.

However he was unable to stop Jorge CarbonellÕ s shot which broke the tie, leaving the score at 4-3.

With a few minutes left in the half, things got a little too heated. A penalty shot was granted to Minerva-Newcomb and Riley Mathers was chosen to take the one-on-one challenge against Crowningshield. Despite a valiant effort by the goalie, Mathers scored, making the score 5-3 in Minerva-NewcombÕ s favor.

A few minutes were left in the half, and both teams fought their hardest. However, a two-goal deficit was too much to overcome for Crown Point. Ò We had better ball control in the second half,Ó Randy LaFountain, head coach of the Mountaineers, said. Ò We marked a player who had a lot of goals against us and tried to take him out of the game.Ó

Run ends in semifinals

After defeating Crown Point, the Mountaineers fell to the two-time defending state champions, Chazy, 7-0 Oct. 25.

Derek Drake scored twice for the Eagles, while Josh Barriere had an impressive game with two goals and three assists.

Caleb Winter made 13 saves for the Mountaineers in net, while Garrett Austin added five saves. The team finished the season with a record of 8-9-0, led by Jorge CarbonellÕ s 11 goals and 7 assists (29 points), while Mickey Johnson had 12 goals and 4 assists (28). Winter finished with a save percentage of 74.6.

Isaiah Turner scored the first three goals of the game for the Griffins, two unassisted and one off a Joel Morris helper. Morris also assisted on an Anderson Gay goal, while Trevor Brooks scored a pair of goals on assists from Caleb Denton and Thomas Mero.

Ò They played really well and did everything they were supposed to do,Ó he said. Ò We wanted to dominate the space and play the game we want to play.Ó -Jill Lobdell contributed to this story.

Lady Mountaineers come back for sectional finals appearance

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com NEWCOMB Ñ The Minerva/Newcomb girls soccer team advanced to the Section VII/Class D finals Saturday, Nov. 1, with a 3-2 win over the Moriah Vikings Oct. 28.

However, they may have to do it without the biggest weapon in the Northern Soccer League.

Makenzie Winslow left the game with a lower leg injury in the final 10 minutes of the contest, and head coach Candice Gereau was non-committal when asked about if the 59-goal scorer would be able to play in the Saturday finale, scheduled for noon at Plattsburgh High School.

Winslow played a key part in the second straight comeback win for the Mountaineers in Sectionals. Trailing 1-0 at halftime, Winslow took the opening kickoff and fired a shot that hit the crossbar 15 seconds into the half. Before the opening minute came to a close, Winslow had the ball at her feet again. After falling in the box, she received a ball from Danielle McNally, took one dribble and fired a shot past Lauren Cross for a 1-0 lead.

Winslow and McNally got together again in the 57th minute.

McNally’s cross attempt was deflected by a Moriah defender, finding the feet of Winslow, who dribbled past a pair of Viking defenders to score.

In the 71st minute, Winslow crossed a ball into the middle of the box, where Megan O’Donnell fired a shot that went under the save attempt of Cross. Ò Makenzie was challenged all day and she kept playing hard,Ó head coach Candice Gereau said. Ò They donÕ t let things get to their heads and play hard throughout the game.Ó “I knew our team had the ability to come back,” midfielder Mary Labar said. “Sometimes, we need that first goal to kick us off. We have been practicing following the ball on shots and passes and it paid off because we were able to get some goals off of mistakes.Ó Ò I think we play better when we play against these tougher teams,” midfielder Rachael Bush said. “This has been a great opportunity for us and will help us prepare for the finals. We wanted this so bad and we had the drive to meet our goal of getting to Plattsburgh.Ó Bush also talked about the play of McNally, who replaced sister Jordan Bush in the lineup, who suffered a season-ending foot injury. Ò Jordan was playing real well, and Danielle picked her game up and took over the spot,Ó Rachael Bush said. Ò I just wanted to make sure I kept doing what Jordan was doing,Ó McNally said. Ò She set the standard high and I had to meet

it.Ó

The Vikings opened scoring in the 20th minute of play, when Samantha Ida received a throw in from Paige Lane. Ida was able to win a pair of 50/50 balls against Mountaineer defenders, the second deflecting over the head of Asatsia Myler.

Moriah made things interesting in the 77th minute, when Juliette Baker scored her first varsity goal on a long shot that went over the arms of Myler.

The Vikings ended with a flurry of attack, but their best effort from the foot of Jordan Speshock with 15 seconds remaining went just over the crossbar. Ò We had a great year,Ó Vikings coach Jeanette Rotella said.

Ò They had a great spirit and I enjoyed them. We played hard and had a lot of opportunities in this game.Ó Myler made eight saves for the Mountaineers, while Cross made nine saves for the Vikings.

Minerva/Newcomb will now face the winner of the Chazy/ Crown Point Class D semifinal. Ò There were a lot of people who didnÕ t think we would be able to beat Division II teams,Ó Gereau said. Ò We played two teams from up north and we beat them. They have been determined to reach the sectional finals since they started practice Aug. 15.

They wanted to be undefeated, division champions and make it to Plattsburgh and they have accomplished all three.Ó

Lady Mountaineers rally for Class D quarterfinal win

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com NEWCOMB Ñ With everything the Minerva/Newcomb girls varsity soccer team had accomplished in 2014, there was one challenge they had never faced: Trailing.

The Lady Mountaineers found themselves in a 1-0 hole in the third minute of play against ElizabethtownLewis in the Section VII/Class D quarterfinals Oct. 24, but found their way out of the hole and onto victory thank to a trio of unanswered scores. Ò I think we were really nervous,Ó head coach Candice Gereau said. Ò They knew how much we had to lose and they did not want to have an undefeated regular season and lose their first sectional game.Ó Jasmin Barnes opened the scoring for the Lions in the third minute of play, scoring the fourth goal allowed all season by the Mountaineers. Ò Once that first goal went in you could see on their faces, they were mad,Ó Gereau said. Ò They knew they were better and had to prove it to all the nay sayers. We quickly started playing like the team that has gotten us to where we are with beautiful crosses, moving the ball up the field with leading passes, beating the opponent to the ball - it all came together.Ó Makenzie Winslow fired the response to BarnesÕ goal in the 15th minute off an assist from Danielle McNally.

Less than two minutes later, McNally would find Isabelle Bureau for what would prove to be the game-winning tally. Winslow would score her second of the game in the 71st minute.

McNally, who has taken over the right striker position after a foot injury sent sophomore sensation Jordan Bush to the sideline for the rest of the season, has been playing strong over the final three games of the season and into the tournament. Ò Danielle has really been playing fantastic these last few weeks,Ó Gereau said. Ò She has stepped in to JordanÕ s position and is moving the ball in to position for Makenzie, and she is not shy to take a shot when she is open. She really has impressed me and had an excellent game on Friday.Ó Asatsia Myler made three saves in the victory, while Emma Disogra made 10 for the Lions.

The Lady Lions finished the season at 4-12-0, with Jasmin Barnes totaling 13 goals and 3 assists (29 points), while Tamara Wescott added 4 goals and 4 assists (12).

Emma Disogra had a save percentage of 82.5 on the season while allowing 3.56 goals per game.

O’Hara nets quarterfinal appearance for Willsboro

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — There’s no better time to score your first win of the season then when a loss means its over.

The Willsboro Lady Warriors, ninth seed in the Section VII/Class D tournament with a record of 0-15-0, did just that with a 1-0 win against eighth seed Johnsburg in the opening round of the tournament Oct. 22. Ò It has been a tough season,Ó Warriors coach Dawn Bronson said. Ò They have worked very hard to get to this point and they really deserved this chance to get a win.Ó In the 19th minute of play, Willsboro found themselves in the Johnsburg third after a throw in from Alex Bliss that found the feet of Shania Lincoln. Lincoln connected a pass with Andrea OÕ Hara on the bench side of the field, just outside the penalty box. Ò I was looking far post when I hit it,Ó OÕ Hara said. Ò When I saw it go in, you just get pumped up and we wanted more.Ó The Willsboro defense limited Johnsburg to four shots, with only one on target which was saved by Payton Gough.

OÕ Hara said the team was excited to get a chance to play in the opening round of sectionals. Ò We had a lot of fun at a team dinner last night and on the bus coming to the game,Ó OÕ Hara said. Ò We came into this game as a family, and that is how we are going to play the rest of this season.Ó Ò They were very excited and the spirits were high coming into

the game,Ó Bronson said. Ò We have had a lot of team dinners and chances for them to bond as a team. This is a definite plus.”

Jaguars head coach Cindy Homer said her team was not prepared for the physical style of play from their opponent. Ò I do not think that we have seen that level of physical play at all this season in Division III,Ó Homer said. Ò They come from a more physical division and it was good for our girls to get that experience.Ó For their first season as a Northern Soccer League program, Homer said her group of players are ahead of schedule in their development. Ò I told them at the end of last season I wanted to coach them into a sectional game this year,Ó she said. Ò To do that and to actually host a sectional playoff game as a first year team, I am nothing but proud of them.Ó Savanna Berg finished the game with four saves, while Johnsburg had several chances deep in the Willsboro third, creating seven corner kicks.

Up next for the Warriors will be the defending Section VII/Class D champion Chazy, who defeated them twice in the regular season.

Despite that, Willsboro is going into the game confident. Ò We played fairly well against them last time, and we are looking forward to this chance to play them in sectionals,Ó OÕ Hara said. Ò I want them to give 100 percent like they keep doing in every game,Ó Bronson said. Ò I know I am going to get a team that will play 80 minutes of hard-core soccer.Ó

On the hunt

The hunt begins

A

lthough the Adirondack woodlands remain primarily brown and damp, the Big Game Hunting Season is now in full swing. While current conditions make the forest quiet, and tracks are difficult to read, there are plenty of enthusiastic hunters currently wandering the Big Woods.

At this time of year, it is important for all travelers to be aware of the Big Game season and to remember that darkness arrives early, and temperatures drop quickly after the sun goes down.

It is important to plan for a little extra time on the trail, and to wear warm, colorful clothing in case something goes wrong.

As always, carry the essentials including a headlamp and extra batteries. Remember it gets dark earlier now, and temperatures drop rapidly after sunset.

Cell phones, GPS units and similar, electronic navigation devices are only as good as the batteries that power them.

There are also a lot of the Adirondack back country, where there is no cell coverage. Be safe, smart, and always carry a paper map and compass.

ItÕ s also wise to tell someone where youÕ ll be traveling and when you expect to return, regardless of your choice of outdoor pursuits.

Why we hunt

There have been volumes of literature written to explain the age-old question of why people still engage in such consumptive outdoor sporting endeavors as fishing and hunting.

It is an especially vexing question for those who have never experienced the wild harvest, whether it was a fish, a frog or a whitetail buck.

We all come into this world the same way, and no one is a born outdoorsman. However, there are a few lucky who are born into an outdoor family.

In reality, we are all outdoor families, and we are attracted to nature by our own nature.

Although we are genetically disposed to spend time outdoors, nobody simply wakes up one morning and declares; “I think IÕ m going to become an outdoorsman today.Ó ItÕ s not that easy and it simply doesnÕ t work that way. While

it may seem outdoor travel is instinctual, we all need to learn it from someone, whether a father, an Uncle or another adult.

Despite the fact that hunter numbers have continued to diminish over the years, numerous studies provide evidence of the rich benefits of the outdoor life.

Renowned archer, Fred Bear explained the process, Ò When a hunter is in a tree stand with high moral values and with the proper hunting ethics and richer for the experience, that hunter is 20 feet closer to God.Ó Aldo Leopold, author of Sand Country Almanac offered this description. Ò A particular virtue of wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than a mob of onlookers. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact.Ó Physicians and educators now agree, Ò Children who spend time in an outdoor environment behave better, have longer attention spans, and often exhibit increased self-confidence and express a more positive self-image.

Further studies suggest Ò a meaningful engagement with nature as a child has a direct correlation with involvement in environmental issues in the future, which should be of great interest as communities look for the next generation of environmental leaders.Ó Additional research reveals that Ò spending time in the open air and learning outside has also proven to increase studentsÕ ability to think creatively and improve problem-solving skills.Ó There is also considerable evidence that Ò outdoor adventure programs can impact positively on young peopleÕ s attitudes, beliefs and self-perceptions.Ó Benefits include “an increase in self-concept domains such as independence, confidence, self-efficacy, and self-understanding.Ó Time outdoors also results in Ò an increase in personality dimensions such as assertiveness, emotional stability, achieve-

For the human psyche, any amount of time spent in a natural environment is far more valuable than a comparable duration of indoor time, with the exclusion of course of the time spent in camp.

In fact, the camaraderie and regular tomfoolery of camp life is likely one of the most overlooked aspects the sporting life. It is an experience that provides great stress relief, offers welcome companionship and delivers a host of other positive benefits, including personal responsibility, punctuality and of course, compassion, communication and freedom.

Hunting camp is a most unique location, where men become boys again, and boys can become men.

Sadly, less than 8 percent of the nationÕ s population currently participates in this most traditional of all activities, even though it has been proven to sharpen our senses, steel our resolve, improve our memory and hone our innate predatory skills.

And best of all, while engaged in the process of learning those skills and activities, newcomers learn to understand the ethics of fair chase and shared space.

Hunters gain concrete experience with matters of fairness and honesty, reality and death, as well as life and good health. It is important that such matters are passed along.

Nothing they have read or that others have said can properly prepare them for the experience. There is a unique and undeniable change that comes over a person at the conclusion of a harvest.

It comes in the form of a new reality that is achieved only when we are far removed from typical human interactions. It is the ultimate responsibility and with it; they learn to respect peers, animals and the land as well.

Despite fears that are often voiced regarding hunter/hiker conflicts, there is no record of a hunting related shooting incident involving a hiker.

Since the 1960s, New YorkÕ s hunting incident rate has fallen by over 75 percent, and there were fewer than 20 hunting accidents reported in 2013.

In fact, the majority (14) of hunting accidents occurring in 2013 were self-inflicted.

The continued decline of such incidents provides further evidence that the current generation of New York hunters is among the safest to ever to take to the woods. The wise use of Hunter Orange clothing and gear; is likely to continue the steady decline in hunting incidents and related injuries.

According to national statistics, there are far more hunting related fatalities that are a result of cold water shock, hypothermia and drowning than from all of the firearm related mishaps.
