Re-open the rail to National Lead

T

he quarrel over re-opening the rail line to Tahawus is driven by a not-in-my-backyard protest from the environmental groups, contends the Saratoga-North Creek Railway (SNCRR) lawyer in filings to a rail regulation board.

The 6-million-acre Adirondack Park held in forever wild trust, but more than half the land inside the Blue Line is still private. It's a place where nature and people coexist. People don't dominate the landscape, and the landscape shouldn't dominate the people.

Though the tracks running out to the remote, high-peak wilderness in Newcomb have been quiet since 1989, that's not so distant in the memory of people who've spent their lives in the region. Newcomb Supervisor George Canon was featured in an article from the Adirondack Park Agency when the state purchased thousands of Tahawus acres in 2003, where he remembered a childhood in the company town at the mine. Canon, who also worked at the mine, has sent a letter of support for SNCRR, calling the redevelopment of the rail crucial to the economic future of his 500-citizen township.

The North Country Chamber of Commerce, which spearheaded the proposal for competitive granting in the New York Open For Business campaign, earning $103 million in grants for regional projects, tossed its hat in the ring early this month with a letter of support for the rail. President Garry Douglas said rail preservation and development is a necessary part of the region's future.

The easement for the rail line is active until 2062. The state DEC worried that the rail runs over 13 miles of the Vanderwhacker Wild Forest. So does 28N, a welltraveled road that connects the centers of all the local communities, and is driven by many passenger vehicles, large recreational vehicles, logging trucks and other heavy equipment. It's already a people-frequented area.

As asserted by SNCRR's lawyer, reopening the line would alleviate some of the heavy equipment traffic from the roadways. National Lead still hauls 30,000 tons of screened rock for construction and 3,000 tons of magnetite from the old mine site every year.

Taking that volume of stone off the roads and putting in on the unused rail line would give SNCRR a dependable place to launch their freight interests, an important part of their business model.

And, it is better for the environment.

In the early-to-mid 19th century, and again in the mid-to-late 20th century, the open mines bustled with activity, producing high-quality ore and good jobs. The towns where operations were housed, Adirondac and Tahawus, are now only skeletons of their former selves, but still serve as attractions for tourism. Economic development can encourage interest in nature.

The mines still hold a rich deposit of ore. Monetizing that ore may be difficult, but more efficient removal from the deep wild is key to ensuring its success. A similar problem with the cost of production kept Russian oil, much of it locked in tar sands, from being a viable business prospect. Once refining methods improved and demand grew, Russia became a major exporter of oil.

If the National Lead mine could be reopened, it would need a reliable, cheap way to get the ore out. Shipping mine tailings out with SNCRR could be a precursor of much greater things to come.

The environmental groups should not impede that progress.

Airport questions

Former supervisor thankful

To the Times of Ti:

An easier way to give

To the Times of Ti: To the Times of Ti:

I have been wondering about (T iconderoga) town supervisor and the town board members. You will not get enough pro fit from the gas you sell (at the Ticonderoga airport) to pay the electric bill. I talked with Mr . Vosburg and can’t af ford to fly any more. It use to be busy at the airport. R yan Vosburg, two Fullers, Treadway, Densmore and others were there every day.

I don’t think anyone flying by T i conderoga will stop and buy gas. You should have a attendant at this pump from sunrise to sunset, seven days a week. The airport is located to the public.

Why should the taxpayers in T iconderoga be bur dened with more expense (for) a few rich people who own summer homes on Lake George and have airplane use the airport. They do not even pay a tie down fee.

The airport budget last year was $16,000 and I don’t see any thing about snow plowing in the budget.

I used to go up to the airport a lot but now I am locked out.

Deb Allen Ticonderoga

With the passing of my term as supervisor , I want to thank all the people who supported me during my tenure.

It was obvious to me that people indeed did want change and pr ogress in Cr own Point. The accomplishments wer e many and some projects will have to be finished by the new supervisor. The island gar den on Route 9 has been permitted, Monitor Bay r etaining wall should be r eady for building, FEMA money has been applied for , Adirondack Architectural Heritage Foundation will begin their study for an Historic District (in an attempt to secur e funding for the Knapp Senior Center), and the hamlet expansion with the APA will begin soon which will release restrictions on properties.

I am hopeful the town website will find its way to completion with assistance and direction. We can look forward to the new water meters being installed or r epaired and repair or replacement of fire hydrants, an issue that has needed addressing for many years.

I want to thank the Events Committee who provided entertainment and community events with an energ y that people loved. We have an excellent Youth Commission leader , Penny Comes, and she needs everyone’s support. Our chamber of ficers and members ar e a pr oud addition to Cr own To the Times of Ti: Point and they deserve our support for the good they ar e doing.

This is just a reminder that the 2012 annual campaign for The United Way of the Adirondack Region is under way. It is thr ough our donations that the 39 member agencies ar e able to help our friends and families in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties.

Many people feel that if they are not offered the opportunity to give through payroll deduction at work that they are not able to donate. This is not the case. ANYONE can contribute to our local United Way. One option is to make a one time gift, either by check or credit card. If you are like me you are able to donate more if you can make smaller payments over the entire year. This is possible; just contact the United Way of the Adirondack Region at 45 Tom Miller Road, Plattsburgh, NY, 12901 or phone 518-563-0028. You have the choice of being billed monthly , quarterly, etc. Even easier would b e after you have made your pledge, set up an automatic online payment using your own bank. You have the ability to set up the amount and the frequency and your bank will usually pro cess this at no cost.

This year the need is so great. I urge you to donate whatever you can; no gift is too small. W e never know who among us will need help next, but our gifts ensur e our member agencies will be able to assist when needed.

Fort Ticonderoga adds new staff Artificer, military supervisors hired TICONDEROGA — Fort T iconderoga has added to its year-round interpretive department staff.

Joel Anderson, artificer supervisor , and Joseph Privott, military programs supervisor, began their new positions at Fort Ticonderoga on Jan. 3.

Stuart Lilie, Fort Ticonderoga’s director of interpretation, said “These two individuals bring practical 18th century period knowledge to Fort T iconderoga’s strategic drive to bring day to day historic details to life at Fort Ticonderoga, one of America’s oldest and most significant historic sites in North America.”

He noted their “skills and leadership allow the fort to create living history pr ograms and events for visitors that ar e exciting and interesting. Equally important, the Interpretive Department is able to emphasize Fort T iconderoga’s commitment to excellence and historical accuracy as we portray those soldiers who struggled and died on this ground.”

Anderson comes to Fort Ticonderoga with 12 years living history experience, both as a re -enactor and museum profession. He has pr eviously worked for Middleton Place, a National Historic Landmark located in Charleston, S.C., specializing in livestock, carriages and military pr ogramming.

In his own business, Anderson Tailoring, he hand-stitched, custom-fit Revolutionary W ar uniforms and civilian clothing.

Anderson studied at East Tennessee State University, pursuing his musical skills. An avid equestrian, researcher, and

18th century mechanic, he has alr eady contributed to Fort Ticonderoga’s living history programs in 2011.

Serving as artificer supervisor, Anderson will lead the development of the fort’s historic trade pr ogram in 2012 including shoemaking and military tailoring.

Privott, who studied at Lees-McCrae College in North Carolina, brings his own living history experience in re-enacting and museums. His mechanical skills include fields diverse as blacksmithing, artillery , woodwork and Native American crafts. The cr eator of an online database about Southeastern Native Americans in the 18th century , he brought his background in NativeAmerican material culture to his portrayal of a 1759 British Indian agent at the fort in 2011.

He was previously a docent with the SouthernAppalachian Historical Association and a volunteer at Fort Dobbs State Historic Site.

The two new year -round positions expand Fort T iconderoga’s capacity to offer events throughout the year and increased school programming. These positions will also provide the cadr e of leadership for an enlar ged staf f of costumed interpreters in the 2012 visitor season.

Beth Hill, Fort Ti executive director, said “The addition of Joel Anderson and Joseph Privott to Fort Ticonderoga’s fulltime staff represents an important step in Fort Ticonderoga reclaiming its place as the premier eighteenth century military site in North America.”

Fort Ticonderoga has added to its year-round interpretive department For mor e information on Fort T iconderoga go online at staff.

John was born Oct. 3, 1923, in Br ooklyn. His parents passed away when he was an infant and he was raised by his aunt, Marie Slater, and her husband, Thomas Slater, in Schroon Lake.

Marie was “Mom” to him and he grieved her passing in 1939.

••••• TIMES

He graduated from Schroon Lake High School in 1941.After high school, John and his lifelong friend, Ed Noxon, joined the U.S. Marine Corps, where he spent a large part of World War II in operations and intelligence. His service included stints in the Asiatic Pacific, Pearl Harbor and Guadalcanal.

After several months in a military hospital he was dischar ged in San Diego in December 1945. After a brief return to Upstate New York, John moved to Sandy Ore., where in 1954 he was appointed postmaster, a position he held until his retirement in 1981.

John married for a second time in 1963 to Kay Oldenkamp. They lived a joyous 47 years together until Kay passed away on Oct. 9, 2010. They lived most of their lives in Sandy but engineer ed stops to Long Beach and Longview, Wash.

John was also pr edeceased by his daughters, Judy Metsger Schwager , Jeanette Metsger Crawley and Janice Metsger Keith, and by his stepson Keith Oldenkamp.

John loved gardening and spent summers carefully tending his fruit trees and vegetable garden. Wandering deer were particularly grateful for his efforts.

He loved to golf, but pr obably more for the camaraderie of friends than the wistful pursuit of mastering the flight of a little white ball.

Christmas was a major joy for both John and Kay and they delighted in filling the house with holiday decor and flocking a lar ge tree as a centerpiece of the home. In their later years they enjoyed wintering among friends in Yuma, Ariz.

John has a number of brothers and one sister who were raised by various families in New Jersey or New York, yet he never met them and died without ever knowing what became of them.

Cell phones to assist victims of violence Old phones sought PORT HENRY — The Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union will host their its annual cell phone drive January and February.

Cell phones donated at TFCU branches will be given to the STOP Domestic Violence Center in Essex County wher e they will be turned into emer gency 91 1 phones for domestic violence survivors.

More than 200 phones have been collected through TFCU’s previous drives.

“We’re honored to support this important cause in our community ,” said Shawn Hayes, TFCU president and CEO. “By donating your old cell phone in this way you’r e not only recycling, you may also be providing a vital lifeline to someone in need.”

To participate, people can bring old cell phones, chargers and accessories in any condition from any pr ovider and dr op them in

the collection bins at any of the cr edit union’s three branch locations — Ticonderoga, Port Henry and Elizabethtown — during regular business hours.

Donations of toiletry items including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, as well as women’s clothing and blankets will also be accepted.

Before donating people should be certain they have terminated their service contract, erased all data on the phone including contacts, texts, photos and removed the SIM card (if it has one). T ips for deleting a cell phone’s data can be found at the cr edit union’s website, www .tfcunow.com in the FAQ section. People may also r efer to their user ’s manual or contact their service provider or phone manufacturer for data removal instructions.

The staf f at the ST OP Domestic V iolence Center will take steps to r emove data fr om the phones prior to redistribution, however,

people doing it themselves will help expedite the process and ensure that the phone’s data has been clear ed. Any superfluous phones the center cannot use will be r ecycled, with the proceeds from recycling also benefiting the center.

Established in 1954, Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union has been serving the banking needs of its members for 57 years. It curr ently operates through conveniently located offices on Route 9N in Ticonderoga, Meacham Street in Port Henryand Court Street in Elizabethtown, NY and can be found online at www.tfcunow.com.

New Medicaid program available locally, HHHN part of project MINEVILLE — The Adirondack Health Institute, a partnership of Hudson Headwaters Health Network, Adirondack Medical Center and CVPH Medical Center , has been chosen to be among the first health car e or ganizations in New York State to pr ovide enhanced car e to Medicaid enrollees with chronic conditions.

Under the new pr ogram, known as Medicaid Health Homes, selected health care providers will receive additional state funding to provide intensive case management and service coordination for local Medicaid enr ollees who have complex, high-cost chronic conditions.

Hudson Headwaters operates health centers in Mineville, Ticonderoga and Schroon Lake.

Phase one of the Health Homes program, which begins in January, includes 21 care providers in 10 of NewYork State’s 62 counties: Bronx, Clinton, Kings (Brooklyn), Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, Nassau, Schenectady, Warren, Washington. The program will be brought to the remaining counties over the next six months.

“Just like the Adirondack Medical Home Pilot, the Health Homes program focuses on improving care coordination to

hold down costs and keep patients healthier ,” said Cathy Homkey, CEO of the Adirondack Health Institute, which oversees the Adirondack pilot. “The Health Homes pr ogram takes this appr oach to the next level by linking health car e to other community and social support programs.”

Additional Medicaid payments for the new pr ogram will vary based on patient needs and the services pro vided. “We expect the pr ogram to bring significant additional r evenue to primary care providers throughout the Adirondacks,” she said.

The New York State Department of Health describes a Health Home as a care management service model whereby an individual's caregivers communicate with one another to comprehensively address patient needs. This is done primarily through a "care manager" who oversees and pro vides access to services to help patients stay healthy , out of the emergency r oom and out of the hospital. Health r ecords ar e shared (either electronically or via paper) among providers so that services are not duplicated or neglected. The Health Home services are provided through a network of organizations – providers, health plans and community-based org an-

izations. When all the services ar e consider ed collectively they become a virtual “Health Home.”

According to the New York State Department of Health, most of New York State’s five million Medicaid enro llees are relatively healthy and only r equire access to primary car e practitioners to obtain episodic and pr eventive health care.

The Medicaid pr ogram also serves people with complex medical, behavioral, and long-term car e needs that drive a high volume of high cost services, including inpatient and long-term institutional care.

Appropriately accessing and managing these services, through improved care coordination and service integration, is essential to contr olling futur e health car e costs and improving health outcomes for Medicaid enr ollees with such intensive needs.

More information on the Health Home pr ogram is available on the New York State Department of Health website: http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/program/medicaid_health_homes/.

The Olweus pr ogram focuses on two key ar eas — giving students and staf f the tools they need to most effectively deal with bullying and preventing bullying fr om happening, McDonald, cochair of the Olweus program, said.

As part of the program, students developed and Last fall Crown Point school adopted the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. adopted four To kick off the program students and staff wore shirts reading “Be Buddies, Not Bullies.” Pictured are Julianne Swan, Tayler Tuthill and Lauren Sawyer. school-wide rules: — W e will not bully others.

— We will help students who are being bullied.

— We will include students who are left out.

— If we know someone is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and an adult at home.

“Subsequent meetings will help students learn about the effects of bullying, what they can do about it, and how they can work with adults at school and at home to put a stop to it, even as bystanders,” McDonald said. “Parents will have meetings, too, so they can support the messages students ar e getting at school as well have an opportunity to ask questions about the program.”

Olweus is not a curriculum that students participate in for only a few weeks. It is an ongoing, coordinated effort by all adults in the school to intervene when bullying happens and to teach students how to help prevent it.

Implementing the program is a long-term commitment to making school a safer, more positive place to be, McDonald said.

“This pr ogram is about cr eating the best school climate possible,” Principal Elaine Dixon said. “We want Crown Point to be a safe and positive place for everyone and research has proven that Olweus can help make that happen. Many students, staff and parents have already noticed a positive difference.”

People interested in the program can contact Dixon, McDonald or Laura Uhly, teacher and Olweus committee co-chair.

Schroon hosts First Night celebration

About 30 0 people bid far ewell to 2011 and welcomed the new year during a First Night celebration in Schroon Lake Dec. 31.

SCHROON LAKE — About 300 people bid farewell to 2011 and welcomed the new year during a First Night celebration in Schroon Lake Dec. 31.

Sponsored by the Schr oon Lake Chamber of Commerce, the event featured a sock hop dance in the school gym with the band Loose

Connections, face painting with Anne Gregson, craft stations headed by Julie Sawyers and array of food of ferings by the school’s freshman class.

Highlighting the activities was a performance by Sylvia Fletcher and her “magic trunk” in the school auditorium. The show featured puppets that she br ought to life through ventriloquism.

At approximately 8:30 p.m. the fun moved to the town beach. Ther e people enjoyed a bonfire, luminary display , fr ee hot chocolate, music and an fir eworks display by Northstar Fireworks.

First Night was a somewhat new endeavor for the Schroon Lake chamber.

The chamber held two First Night celebrations in the past — New Year ’s Eve 2003 and 2004 — to mark the beginning and end of the town of Schroon’s bicentennial celebration, but had marked the holiday season the past 25 years with its annual Old T yme Christmas celebration. That event was dropped in favor of the First Night celebration.

The First Night event was a success, according to Roger Friedman, chamber member and town tr ustee. Plans ar e already being made for the 2012 First Night, he said.

“If you missed this year’s First Night fun, the chamber of commerce is looking forward to doing mor e of the same to help welcome 2013, “ Friedman said. “V olunteers and donations are always welcomed. A 2012 thank you to the Schr oon Lake Chamber of Commerce and to all those who made Schr oon Lake’s First Night 2011 a great time for all.”

Speak to your children in a manner that is calm and non-threatening. Children do not need to be frightened to get the point across. In fact, fear can thwart the safety message, because fear can be paralyzing to a child.

Speak openly. Children will be less likely to come to you about issues shrouded in secrecy. If they feel that you are comfortable discussing the subject at hand, they may be more forthcoming.

Teach your child his or her full name, address, telephone number (including area code), and how to dial “911” for help or “0” for operator.

Adults rarely ask children for directions or help. Teach your child that if this happens, they should ignore the person asking and go home or to another safe place.

Do not purchase clothing or school supplies with your child’s name on them. Knowing a child’s name is a way for an abductor to establish a rapport with a child.

Teach your child that it is okay to run away and scream if someone is making them do something they don’t want to do. They should then go and tell you or a trusted adult what happened. They won’t be tattletales.

Take head-and-shoulder photos of your child at least once a year. Keep vital information with photos.

Bear with me ... New York O

ver the years, I’ve listened to numerous deer hunters explain their lack of success, with excuses such as, “my sights were off” or “the brush was too thick” or “the sun was in my eyes.”

Throughout my non-illustrious, hunting career, I’ve uttered many of the same excuses. However, whenever I’ve failed to fill my tag, which is more often than not, I’ve jokingly attributed it to my fondness for “track soup.”

For those unfamiliar with this popular Northwood’s delicacy, “track soup” is a wild mixture that combines equal portions of forest frustration, bad backwoods luck, and poor marksmanship, mixed in with generous helpings of fresh deer tracks, a few shortened shirttails, and just a smidge of whiskey, to add character.

An appropriate supply of deer tracks can often be found on the nearest runway, where whitetail flags are usually observed disappearing into the distance. Running Here is a shot of a black bear lumbering through the woods. Often it is difficult to get a good look tracks are fine, however I prefer at a black bear, they are extremely elusive characters, with a great sense of smell and a unique sense “walking tracks,” as they are usualof natural wariness.

However, due to the lack of effective oversight and regAs a result of the over harvest of wild populations of naulations, unscrupulous hunters may have been able to sell

bear organs that came from animals harvested in Pennsylvania, New Jersey or elsewhere, to dealers in New York.

Until now, it has been difficult for taxidermists to determine where a gall bladder actually came from. The organs, which are roughly the size of a pear, can easily be concealed and transported across state lines. It is impossible to determine if a detached organ came from a bear in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or elsewhere.

However, on Jan. 1, 2012, New York enacted new legislation to regulate the trade, in an effort to prevent the sale of non-native bear parts. Although DEC officials believe the vast majority of taxidermists have been acting in good faith, there was growing concern that increased demand will lead to increased prices, and in depressed economies, black markets tend to thrive.

Bud Piserchia, owner of North Country Taxidermy in Keene, is one of the best-known, local buyers of bear gall bladder and claws. Regarding the new law, Piserchia said, “There really hasn’t been a lot of changes. It’s always been DEC’s contention that hunters can legally utilize all parts of the bear. We buy galls and we also buy the claws, and the pelts.”

“Taxidermists have always been required to see it (the seller ’s Big Game tag), but now all that paperwork stays with the gall bladder, and the only difference is that we now have to get additional information for the DEC on the buyers. And we still have to file an annual report to DEC, with the name, address, tag number, WMU, date of kill, and all that. We’ve always kept accurate records.”

Piserchia continued, “It used to be that all the Koreans would come to New York to buy bear, but after the Soviet Union broke up, the Koreans got most of their bears from Russia, where the bears are bigger.”

“Dealers used to buy 80 to 100 galls from me every year, but now they only buy about 10. We used to get $35 an ounce for a gall, which averages about 3-8 ounces, but now they only pay about $10 an ounce, and we sell less than a dozen pieces.”

According to Ed Reed, a Wildlife Biologist with DEC Region 5, there was a lot of misinformation disseminated in the campaign, which was sponsored by Born Free USA. Reed claimed, “The new law was pushed by anti-hunting groups, and it’s ludicrous to believe that hunters are shooting bear just for the gall. New York wants hunters to be able to utilize all of the meat. It will not effect bear hunting; it is only intended to regulate the sale of bear parts.”

Most hunters I spoke with seemed to agree with Reed’s assessment, including one old, bear hunter who explained, “Huntin’ bear ’s too much g-damn work, just to kill ‘em just for a gall, claws and all. Why Hell, ya’d git more money fer a robe, to make inta a rug, than ya’d git fer just a g-damn bladder ‘n paws. If I kill one, I’ll be draggin’ the whole g-damn thing out; ya kin bet yer a.. on that!”

It appears there is little reason for ethical hunters to be concerned about this preemptive, preventative measure. A section of the new law defines the bill’s intent. It reads, “This legislation is narrowly crafted to solely restrict commerce in bear gallbladders and bile. It does not impact legal hunting rights, trade in bear parts other than gallbladder and bile, or the ability of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation to possess, transport, deliver, or receive gallbladders or bile for law enforcement purposes.”

Jason Kemper, president of the NYS Conservation Fund Advisory Board agrees. He explained, “It hasn’t been a big problem for DEC yet, but the potential (for out of state sellers to bring illegal bear parts to NY) was there. The DEC wanted to make sure that New York did not become a hub for illegal trade.”

ELIZABETHTOWN — After one year in existence, the “Move Over Law” in New York is expanding.

The law, which pertains to a motorist’s behavior when driving near a r oadside situation involving emer gency vehicles, has been expanded to r equire the same courtesies for tow tr uck drivers and other authorized personnel involved in roadside assistance or other highway maintenance.

According to the state, when possible, motorists must change lanes when they ap proach an incident wher e there is a vehicle with flashing red or amber lights. The new law adds the amber lights. When it is not possible to move over , or ther e is only one lane, drivers must slow down.

The amendment to the state V ehicle and Traffic Law took effect Jan. 1.

Jerry Strack, owner of Central Garage in Lake Placid and a tow truck operator, said he is pleased with the expansion of the law.

“It is something that should have been done before,” Strack said. “You hear more and more about people getting hit as they ar e out with their tr ucks trying to help and aid other motorists.”

Strack said that he hopes the expansion of the law makes people mor e aware of their surr oundings while driving, expecially on the interstate.

“I was on the Northway r ecently, and the lights just do not seem to mean anything to the drivers out there ,” Strack said.

Essex County DPW SuperintendentAnthony LaVigne said that the highest accident rates on roadways are often found in construction zones, even when the vehicles have their lights flashing.

“The zones are there for the driver’s safety as well as ours,” LaV igne said. “Those on the r oads need to be mindful and slow down, then they can be safe and we can be safe as well.”

Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting said he believes the law should include anyone who is on the r oadside to assist in public safety matters.

“This should apply for any public service responders, whether they are police, EMS, fire, highway workers, tow truck drivers or whatever,” Cutting said. “We are a Public Safety agency and, as such, should be concerned with making our fellow public safety workers as safe as possible.”

Cutting also said that he hopes ther e will be more of a promotion of the law.

“We definitely need to publicize this mor e as I have been informed by a number of people that they wer e not aware of this requirement,” Cutting said.

The expansion considers “hazard vehicles” to be tow trucks, HELP trucks, highway maintenance tr ucks and any other vehicle being used in the construction or maintenance of roadways.

Drivers who violate the Move Over law could be fined up to $275, plus a court surcharge of $85, and sentenced to up to 15 days in jail. The driver also could be assessed three points on their driving record.

On Campus Kelly Dunn, son of Steve and Bonnie Dunn of T icondeorga, has been named to the dean’s list at Rochester Institute of Technology.

He is a fr eshman studying biomedical engineering.

A student must achieve at least a 3.4 GPA to be considered for the dean’s list.
