LAKE PLACID — There has never been an Olympic Winter Games in which at least one Lake Placid area athletes hasn’t competed.

As a mater a fact, the very first winter Olympic medal ever awarded, gold, was to Lake Placid native and speedskater Charles Jewtraw, during the 1924 games in Chamonix, France. This February, there will be

Celebrate the “Miracle” of the Lake Placid winter games Branch, Rabideau to LAKE PLACID — Thirty years ago, a group of college kids and one 22-year-old united the United States like never before. Families were gathered around the television set, or spending as much time reading the sports page as they were the world and national news pages, wondering if this team will win again and could he skate to another Olympic gold medal. Each time the answer was yes, as the U.S. hockey team stunned the world winning gold and Eric Heiden won five Olympic speedskating gold medals, making the 1980 Olympic Winter Games one of the most memorable events in all of sports history.

During Lake Placid’s 30th anniversary celebration,

SARANAC LAKE —The slate of candidates is set for the upcoming elections in the village of Saranac Lake, and apparently there will be a contest for the post to lead the municipality.

On March 16, Democrat Clyde Rabideau will square off with current trustee and Republican Jeff Branch in the race for village mayor.

The Saranac Lake Republican Party’s selection of Branch as the candidate for mayor at their Jan. 26 caucus wasn’t a surprise, as he was the only member of the group interested in the seat.

But the caucus wasn’t devoid of the unexpected, as about 40 party members plucked a non-Republican for one of the two vacant village board seats.

Of the three individuals interested in running for village trustee, two were registered Republicans, while Elias “Allie” Pelletieri is a registered Conservative.

And when the votes were tallied, NBT Bank financial advisor Diana Howard was the most favored among those in attendance while Pelletieri finished a close second.

For Village Justice, Republicans chose longtime Harrietstown Justice Tom Glover for the vacant four-year post and corrections officer Ken McLaughlin for the two-year Justice seat, vacated last fall by Charles Bell.

Branch said this week the vote for Mayor will test the

“That was an incredible moment in history, not only for Lake Placid, but for the entire country,” noted Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) president/CEO Ted Blazer.

“Those Games will forever be remembered for overcoming the impossible, whether, it’s a small Upstate New York village hosting the world’s largest sporting event, or the U.S. hockey team defeating the heavily favored former-Soviet Union on their way to gold.

Paul Smith’s College hosts discussion on future of VIC

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com PAUL SMITHS — A diverse group of officials, activists and administrators packed the Pine Room of the Joan Weill Student Center Jan. 25 to discuss the future of the Paul Smith’s Visitor Interpretive Center.

Gov. David Paterson’s 2010-2011 Executive Budget calls for the closure of the Adirondack Park Agency’s two VICs – one is in Paul Smiths, the other in Newcomb. The closures would eventually translate to a $583,000 annual savings for the state.

Last week, the APA’s Keith McKeever told WNBZ the VICs aren't considered part of the agency’s core mission.

But it was clear Thursday that area residents and organizations are willing to step in and keep the Paul Smith’s facility running.

Paul Smith’s College President Dr. John Mills facilitated the roundtable discussion, which was more of a brainstorming session than anything else.

Mills explained in precise detail the college’s role in relation to the center.

“The APA now oversees 1,398 acres of the property,” he

said. “We have the rest. The APA pays the town one-third of the assessed value of the land, that’s the lease agreement.

The buildings that are there are not taxed, that will be a serious consideration going forward.”

The buildings at the VIC were maintained by the APA and funded through the agency’s budget. Under the lease agreement, the state may only use the facilities for purposes of public education. Mills also noted the buildings and land can only be sublet with college approval.

According to Mills, the college is in no position to operate or maintain the VIC. For one, liability insurance is far too costly and two, the college cannot afford to hire staff.

And that’s why Paul Smith’s College is asking for input on how best to maintain the facility as an educational tool for park residents and visitors alike.

Assemblywoman Janet Duprey was in attendance yesterday, playing the role of an observer. She said the chances of getting the VICs back into the budget are slim-to-none.

“It’s a decision that’s been made, and I don’t want to be negative but I don’t see a reversal on it,” she said. “I can tell you that we’ll do whatever we can to find different sources of revenue if that’s possible. But I’m looking for ideas to take back with me to Albany.”

Drawing to be held February 8th at 3PM. Winners will be notified by phone and published in Febuary 13th publication.

Harrietstown Supervisor Larry Miller asked if municipalities in the region could help keep the VIC running as is.

“I know money is tight,” he said. “But what about the possibility of soliciting towns, villages and counties to see if they’d be interested and willing to help fund it?”

Miller noted that area communities benefit from the existence of the center.

Most of those in attendance agreed that the end of the VICs’ relationship with the state provides a unique economic and educational opportunity for the region. Adirondack entrepreneur Brian McDonnell urged those in attendance to consider the financial benefits of expanding the center ’s role.

“We’ve had the pleasure of the state running the facility since it opened,” he said. “Now we have an opportunity: it can be a place that offers much more than what it has offered.

The original concept of putting the VIC in Paul Smiths was to bring more people to the area to be educated and to have a good time – and to spend money in the local communities.”

McDonnell noted that the facility’s potential has never been fully realized.

“I understand about the liability issue, but there are ways around that,” he said. “People come from all over the country and they want to learn more about the Adirondack Park.

We have to have something like the VIC open that serves as a library and also as a model for what the rest of the park represents.”

At the end of the meeting, board members from the Adirondack Park Institute said they would discuss the possibility of becoming the lead agency in steering future discussions regarding the VIC. Dr. Mills said Paul Smith’s College is committed to facilitating those discussions.

“We need to keep this going,” he said. “We need to keep hearing ideas from all sides, and this is a good first step.”

Major structure fire destroys Bloomingdale couple’s home

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com BLOOMINGDALE — On one of the coldest nights so far this winter, a Bloomingdale couple lost their home last week following a large structure fire.

At approximately 9:30 p.m. last Friday, crews from the Bloomingdale Volunteer Fire Department responded to 29 Alina Way in Bloomingdale, the home of Jay and Nicole Branch.

By the time firefighters reached the home, the structure was fully-involved and flames were shooting from the building.

The department received assistance from the Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, and Paul Smiths-Gabriels fire departments; additional tanker help was requested from the Tupper Lake and Wilmington departments.

It took volunteers several hours to control the fire, but Bloomingdale Fire Chief Ricky Burch said despite their efforts, the building is being deemed a total-loss.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.

On Saturday, Scott Cook – owner of Captain Cooks on Broadway in Saranac Lake – held an all-day fundraiser to collect money for Jay and Nicole Branch, who lost most of their belongings in the blaze.

Cook says he’ll leave the donation buckets out as long as necessary.

Wear Red Day is Feb. 5 SARANAC LAKE — Adirondack Medical Center is joining the American Heart Association to raise money and awareness for heart disease - the number one killer of women. Join women - and men - across the nation who will wear red to work by making a donation of $5 or more, and speaking up against this tragic, but often preventable disease.

Donations for Wear Red Day are being collected in the AMC Foundation Office, which is directly across from the AMC Gift Shop in the Redfield Medical Office Building in Saranac Lake.

Douglas’ attorney fires back at Adirondack Council

By Jon Alexander

other parts of the 3,500-acre Silver Lake parcel.

Norfolk said that recent reports from WNBZ and North Country Public Radio suggesting that the lawsuit filed by Douglas involved a 139-acre piece of land west of Silver Lake known as the Bainbridge Property, were off target. He said the property in question, one involved in past Adirondack Park Agency enforcement proceedings and is at issue in the pending civil lawsuit against The Adirondack Council, is part of a different, 3,500-acre tract of land on Silver Lake.

In 2007, the APA initiated enforcement proceedings against Douglas for what the agency suspected may have been illegal work on a road that bordered a wetland and runs through the expansive property.

The APA was in negotiations with Douglas, but then undertook the enforcement proceedings.

Norfolk contends this is a result of the Adirondack Council’s influence at the APA, specifically naming Council chairman Brian Ruder, who happens to own property next to Douglas’ property.

“The lawsuit pending against The

denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The attorney for Black Brook property owner Leroy Douglas is firing back at the Adirondack Council after reports indicated that Douglas had previously attempted to sell a portion of his property to the state in 2000 and then alleged that environmentalists and state officials colluded in an attempt to drive him off of his land.

Documents released Wednesday by the state Department of Environmental Conservation indicated that Leroy Douglas offered to sell the 139-acre Bainbridge parcel to the state.

The revelation led Adirondack Council spokesman John Sheehan to further question Douglas’s credibility, arguing the documents constituted proof the Black Brook landowner wasn’t being pressured to sell by anyone and that a $2.1 million suit against the green group is baseless.

But according to Douglas’s attorney Matt Norfolk of Lake Placid, attempts made to sell the small parcel a decade ago have nothing to do with the lawsuit, which concerns

Adirondack Council, Mr. Ruder and Hawkeye Conservationists is premised on allegations that the defendants intentionally and wrongfully interfered with the settlement agreement entered into between APA and Mr. Douglas,” Norfolk said. “But, Mr. Douglas’ past intentions to sell the Bainbridge Property are not at issue in the pending lawsuit, and have nothing to do with the alleged acts of defendants supporting Mr. Douglas’ claim, which we intend to prove in a court of law.”

Norfolk has gained access to numerous emails and correspondences from Council board members to APA commissioners and staff. These memos urge the recipients to take action against Douglas.

Sheehan said the Council is considering filing a counter-suit against Douglas and his attorney.

Norfolk countered that the credibility question will be decided in a court of law.

“Any issues of credibility of Mr. Douglas or the defendants named in the lawsuit, including members of the Adirondack Council, will be addressed in court through the normal litigation process,” Norfolk said.

Could the fat police be looking for me?

Good government cannot exist in a vacuum

L

I

have been struggling with my weight for some time and only maintained a normal weight during a fifteen year period where I ran almost every day. After two laparoscopic surgeries on my right knee, it has become arthritic and running is not an option. In hindsight I could have found an alternative exercise option but I didn’t. Instead, I told myself that I was just too busy to exercise and

By Scot Hurlburt besides, my knee was and is brutally painful.

My story is probably not unusual in America these days. Obesity in America has reached epidemic proportions according to most government and public health sources. What is especially troubling is the significant number of youth that are already overweight and the rate at which obesity is increasing among this age group. Seventy two million adults in America are overweight. 18 percent of American children are overweight and the rates have doubled for adults since 1980 and tripled for children.

Type II diabetes, once a disease of adults, is now all too common among children. A recent CDC study of 15-17 year olds found that 70 percent of those tested already had one cardiovascular risk factor and 39 percent had more than one risk factor.

Some researchers have proffered an ominous forecast for obese youth. Many of today’s obese children may not live as long as their parents if they are unable to maintain a healthier weight.

Given what is known about obesity may cause some to conclude that somewhere in the not too distant future, a “perfect storm” is waiting to happen in our health care system.

Obesity influences many illnesses including, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, back problems, sleep issues and on and on. The human, personal cost of obesity will be titanic and the financial cost may be so great that it will challenge the health care system capacity by a “factor of fifty” when compared to today. Last year, the Mississippi legislature took a radical step to punctuate the seriousness of the obesity problem in their state. Mississippi has one of the highest rates of obesity in the country. House Bill 282 was offered to the legislature by Representative W.T. Mayhall.

Ostensibly, the bill prohibits certain restaurants from serving obese patrons. Patrons would step on a scale as they entered the restaurant and if their BMI registered in excess of 30, they could not be served. When Rep. Mayhall was questioned about the bill he revealed that he knew that the bill would not pass and, it did not. Mahall and his supporters wanted to create some energy around the obesity issue so that people would understand just how serious the problem has become. The bill was rightfully defeated and we still have the right to make ourselves ill or dead by smoking, abusing alcohol, abusing illicit and or prescription drugs and yes, by eating ourselves sick or dead. For my part, I have initiated an exercise program and have also endeavored to reduce my caloric intake.

On some level, losing weight is simple, burn more calories than you take in. I am about to test that hypothesis. If you have discovered a weight loss approach that works, I would appreciate hearing from you. I may not have much time left. It may only be a matter of time before the fat police come for me and as I sit now, I am guilty as charged. Remember, all kids count.

We’re more than a newspaper, We’re a community service.

ast summer, First Lady Michelle Obama was criticized for having hired an “unprecedented number of staffers” to “cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession.”

An e-mail campaign followed that included information stating that with 22 staffers with combined annual salaries of $1.6 million, the First Lady had amassed an army of employees greater than any before her.

The e-mail claimed that prior first ladies had nowhere near as many employees, saying Jackie Kennedy, Rosalynn Carter and Laura Bush had just one while even Hillary Clinton had only three.

The truth, of course, lay somewhere in between.

When contacted by the national media, Katie McCormick Lelyveld, Michelle Obama’s press secretary, actually put the first lady’s office staff at 24.

That may indeed be the largest of any first lady to date.

But other assertions were way off. Hillary Clinton actually had 19 staffers answering directly to her, while Laura Bush wasn’t far behind with 18 and $1.4 million in annual salaries.

In this instance the media did its job. Disclosure not only gave Americans the facts to form their own conclusions but also dispelled the hearsay that all too often runs rampant in politics.

As common as this is at the federal level, it is perhaps even more so on the local level.

It is for this reason that I want to publicly commend our Essex County Board of Supervisors for tackling the sensitive issue of its own hiring practices by forming an ethics committee subject to public scrutiny.

Have there been instances in which relatives have received preferential treatment in obtaining a job at the county?

Personally, I don’t believe so. I know many hard working county employees I’d be proud to work alongside in the private sector. I honestly don’t believe anyone was handed a job simply because of their last name.

I believe County Manager Dan Palmer when he says — like any private sector employer — that a department head would want to choose the most qualified, hardest working person for the job.

After all, you’re only as good as the individuals you surround yourself with.

I

f I had to guess what most people have been thinking about recently, it would be the extremely frigid temperatures we have been experiencing. But, what about your outdoor plants? What do they do to get through the cold?

A plant’s ability to survive freezing temperatures depends on that plant’s ability to acclimate to the cold. Certain environmental stimuli such as short-days and low temperatures in the fall trigger changes in the plant that allow the plant to survive the cold.

One of the first changes the plant undergoes is going dormant.

Then when below-freezing temperatures set in, the plant takes water out of its cells. The area between the plant cells freeze, protecting individual cells from damage.

While we know this, what we don’t know is why certain plants can tolerate the cold more than others. Therefore, when purchasing plants it is best to determine what USDA plant hardiness zone you live in (either 3 or 4 around here) and only landscape with plant that can survive winters where you live. Even if you only use plants that are hardy to this area, it also helps to know about the most common types of winter injury and how to manage these injuries.

Desiccation occurs when plant material dries out and is seen more often in evergreens because they keep their needles yearround. This injury causes needles and leaves to look discolored or burned. Desiccation occurs when water leaves the plant faster than it can be taken up. Strong winds are one reason plants may lose water. Sunny weather is another. Because our soils freeze

during the winter, it is difficult for plants to take up water that is lost during the winter months.

Properly watering your plants is one of the best ways to prevent desiccation from occurring. If autumn rains have been insufficient, give your plants a deep soaking to the entire root system just before the ground freezes. Water your evergreens if we have a warm spell and the ground unfreezes.

This is especially important in February and March as the sunlight becomes more direct. Mulching helps maintain uniform soil moisture around the roots and helps decrease the chances of desiccation. Homeowners can also protect small evergreens by making windbreaks out of burlap or canvas. These reduce the force of the wind and shade the plant. Avoid using plastic as a wrap. Too much heat builds up in the plastic.

But do I believe the public has a right to know when a department head hires a direct relative or that of a county supervisor?

Definitely.

Unlike the private sector, county government is answerable to the taxpayer. To make informed decisions about elected officials and the policies they put in place, the public needs to know these facts.

More so, they have the right to know.

If for nothing else than, as in the case of Obama, to dispel the vicious rumors that propagate when government exists in a vacuum.

Good government is open government, and it should be the job of not only the media but the public as a whole to demand that.

Following the article we published a few weeks ago reporting that Sandy Lewis addressed the county board urging full disclosure with the county’s hiring practices, we were criticized on a number of fronts.

We were criticized for singling out people.

We were criticized for not having the facts straight when the article first broke — for sensationalizing a non-issue in the interest of “selling papers.” (My personal favorite, considering our papers are free.)

Valid arguments, although ones I would dispute. The facts in this case were anything but easy to acquire, and they remain not fully disclosed to this day.

Nevertheless, Lewis and the subsequent media coverage at least started a dialogue — one that has led to greater transparency.

Call it the journalist in me — but I can’t see the downside to that.

Baby, it’s cold outside ... but not for plants

To the editor: County manager Dan Palmer's description of his hiring practice is equivalent to the definition of nepotism. He justified hiring a family member on the grounds that they are a safe bet since they have a "strong work ethic, so its a known quantity." He went on to say that this is very critical since many of the positions become permanent so you don't want to make a mistake.

Are we to believe that it has nothing to do with getting one's family member a permanent tax-payer funded position with good benefits? Given that there are approximately 38,000 people in Essex county and we have one of the highest rates of unemployment in the state, there is certainly no shortage of qualified people that would like a good paying permanent job with benefits. It is time for the county to implement and enforce standard anti-nepotism hiring procedures that are the norm throughout the country.

With a projected three trillion dollar cost for Iraq and Afghanistan, you have to wonder where the money is coming from. It is from education and health care, for starters.

On Feb. 1, the White House will present its Fiscal Year 2010 budget, which is expected to include a record-shattering $709 billion for "defense" with $159 billion for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Congress will also vote this spring on President Obama's request for another $33 billion for the Afghanistan escalation on top of the $709 billion.

At a time when millions of Americans are jobless and cities and towns across the country are slashing budgets for basic services, we urgently need to challenge the Administration's budgetary priorities. Across the country students, teachers, women, the disabled, hospital and healthcare workers, the homeless, domestic workers, the unemployed, seniors and many others are protesting deep budget cuts to essential programs.

It's time to join our efforts for a just economy with our call for peace and to tell Congress we can't afford war anymore.

Starve the war, not the nation!

Education leaders criticize proposed state budget

Flora and fauna in the Adirondacks LAKE PLACID — This Adirondack Mountain Club presentation will take you on a photographic tour of all things living within the Adirondack Park. From moose to mushrooms, to flying squirrels and orchids, it’s all here.

The presentation will be held on Saturday, Feb. 13, at 8 p.m. at the Adirondack Mountain Club’s (ADK’s) High Peaks Information Center, located at Heart Lake in Lake Placid. This presentation is free and open to the public.

This presentation is part of ADK’s Saturday Evening Lecture Series, funded with support from Stewart’s Shops. The Saturday Evening Lecture Series offers presentations on natural history, backcountry recreation, Adirondack history, art, and music.

For more information contact ADK North Country office in Lake Placid (518) 523-3441 or visit our Web site at www.adk.org.

OnCampus Dean's List at SUNY Cortland announced The following local residents were named to the Dean's List at SUNY Cortland for the Fall 2009 semester.

•Megan Bagg, a junior Communication Studies major from Lake Placid, NY •Miles Levesque, a junior Physical Education Certification major from Tupper Lake, NY Honorees must earn a grade point average of 3.3 or higher on a 4.0 scale, while completing 12 or more credit hours of classes during the semester.

SUNY Cortland was ranked by Kiplinger's among its Top 100 Best Value Colleges and Universities in the United States for a fourth consecutive year. More than 7,200 students are pursuing degrees within the College's 60 undergraduate and 35 graduate academic majors. SUNY Cortland is home to the largest undergraduate teacher education program in the Northeast.

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — During Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech last Wednesday night, President Barack Obama pledged to pour billions of dollars into the nation’s education system.

Just hours before the President’s address, however, state Gov. David Paterson proposed cuts to the State University system — $90 million worth.

SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher said Paterson’s reductions carry major economic ramifications.

“People will see a change in quality,” she said. “And we can’t afford that academically — To say these cuts don’t have a profound impact would be wrong.”

Phillip Smith, president of United University Professions, testified before a joint legislative committee, stating that the SUNY system is already being forced to turn away thousands of qualified students.

Smith said Paterson’s cuts would eliminate about a quarter of SUNY’s total operating budget.

“Funding for SUNY, if this is allowed to go forward, would be 80 million dollars less than it was in 1990,” he said. “And yet we have 40,000 more students in our institution.”

Paterson has acknowledged the cuts are deep – but he’s also reiterated that he will

not budge. The Governor has repeatedly stated that if legislators refuse to make the tough decisions, he’ll do it for them.

But Smith said the SUNY system is taking a disproportionate hit. According to his math, Paterson’s proposed cuts slash about $500 million from SUNY operations over the next two years.

“This would be a 25 percent cut to the budgets of all agencies combined,” Smith said. “It just begs the question: why is public higher education being targeted in this manner?”

Carol Brown, president of North Country Community College said that Paterson’s budget, if passed, would have a dramatic effect on the region. She said she was more optimistic than Smith, however. because of several other proposals being discussed by the state legislature.

Paterson has proposed to allow each individual SUNY school to set its own tuition and he also wants to let institutions enter into more public-private endeavors. Brown says that will also prompt colleges to become more fiscally creative.

“With the proposed prison closures and the recent shuttering of Pfizer, allowing an institution like North Country to work closely with private industry is going to be important, moving forward,” she said.

But Smith said allowing SUNY to set tuition on a school-by-school basis isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. He thinks it will force lowincome students away from their schools of

choice.

“The feedback that I got was that there wasn’t a lot of support for the Governor’s plan,” Smith said. “I think that there’s going to be some difficulty in getting this through. And for SUNY’s sake, I hope that’s the case.”

Assemblywoman Janet Duprey agreed that reaction to Paterson’s SUNY tuition proposal has been mixed, but she thinks if the legislation is detailed correctly, it could work.

“Many of the administrators are enthused about it,” she said. “There are some courses that are more expensive to operate and they could flex what they do and how many courses are offered and be able to increase their revenue accordingly so that those who are taking the less expensive courses are paying less.”

Duprey acknowledged the concern that Paterson’s proposal will shut out some students from some schools; but she said nothing is set in stone yet.

“We have to start thinking outside of the box,” Duprey said. “I think this is going to be a good discussion — If it hurts out colleges, we don’t want to do it; but funding is being cut so we’re all being forced to look at alternative ways to fund what we do.”

Duprey will sit down with educators and lawmakers next week to discuss the details of Paterson’s cuts and the initiatives he’s offered to offset them.

Olympians From page 1 first American to claim the World Cup biathlon’s Yellow Bib, as its overall series leader.

•Haley Johnson (Lake Placid, N.Y.), is looking forward to her first Olympic Winter Games. Haley enjoyed a strong performance last season at the world championships, held in Pyeong Chang, Korea, where she helped anchor the U.S. women’s squad to a 10th place finish in the relay event.

Bobsled: •John Napier (Lake Placid, N.Y.) is eying his first Olympic Winter Games after winning a two-man World Cup gold medal on his home track in Lake Placid, N.Y., this season.

Napier also won two, four-man World Cup medals in 200910, silver in Lake Placid and bronze in Koenigssee, Germany.

SATURDAY February 6, 2010

Many local and area athletes have their sights set on competing in Olympic games someday. The road to the games is not only physically challenging, but monetarily challenging, as well. The Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) would like to remind state taxpayers that they can aid our Olympians in attaining their goals in two ways.

One may utilize the tax check-off located on line 54 of the New York State income tax return, as well as, purchase license plates featuring the distinctive Olympic rings that proclaim "Olympic Spirit" and "USA".

Sign up for athlete updates and Whiteface Lake Placid promotions. Throughout this Olympic year we will be watching our athletes closely and when they perform well, everybody wins. For more information, log on to http://www.whiteface.com/athletes.php. For more information on Whiteface and the Olympic Regional Development Authority’s (ORDA) Olympic venues, log on to www.whitefacelakeplacid.com.

Games

Freestyle Skiing—Aerials: •Ashley Caldwell (Lake Placid, N.Y.) is only 16-years-old and is making her first U.S. Olympic freestyle team. This year, Caldwell finished a career-best 10th in a World Cup event held in Deer Valley, Utah.

Luge: •Mark Grimmette (Lake Placid, N.Y.) and Brian Martin (Lake Placid, N.Y.), are looking forward to their fourth Olympics together. The two have won a pair of Olympic medals, bronze in 1998 and silver in 2002. They are also USA Luge’s all-time leaders in international medals won. This is Grimmette’s fifth Olympics and Martin’s fourth.

•Chris Mazdzer (Saranac Lake, N.Y.), is making his Olympic debut in Vancouver. Mazdzer is five-time Junior World Cup medalist and three-time U.S. junior national champion.

•Bengt Walden (Lake Placid, N.Y.), is looking forward to his second Olympic Winter Games. In 2002, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Walden slid for team Sweden. He is the reigning U.S. men’s national champion.

Nordic Combined: •Bill Demong (Vermontville, N.Y.) is eying his fourth Olympics after having competed in Torino (2006), Salt Lake City (2002) and Nagano, Japan (1998). Demong is a reigning 2009 World champion.

Ski Jumping: •Peter Frenette (Saranac Lake, N.Y.) will make the jumping from competing on the Continental Cup tour to the Olympic Winter Games. The 17-year-old grabbed a spot on the U.S. Olympic squad with a top-20 Continental Cup finish in Sapporo, Japan earlier this month.

From page 1 Feb. 12-28, families and visitors will have the opportunity to visit and compete on the same venues that were used during the 1980 winter games. Families will have the opportunity to ‘compete’ against one another in the inaugural Gold Medal Games Family Edition which will feature a torch run, opening ceremonies and events including alpine skiing/snowboarding, biathlon target shooting, bobsled, curling, hockey skills, speedskating for medals and awards.

The 1980 torch will be re-lit on Saturday, Feb. 13. On Sunday, Feb. 14, visitors can embrace the greatest moment in American sports history with an opportunity to watch Disney’s “Miracle” in the 1980 Olympic arena, the same arena where the U.S. Olympic hockey team stunned the formerSoviet Union before beating Finland on their way to the gold medal. The movie, starring Kurt Russell as the legendary U.S. team coach Herb Brooks, begins at 8:30 p.m., preceded by the debut of “Small Town, Big Dreams,” at 7 p.m. Other Olympic themed movies will be shown throughout the twoweek celebration in the Olympic Museum.

Additional activities include a viewing of the NHL’s Stanley Cup, also in the Olympic Museum, Sunday, Feb. 14, toboggan races, fireworks and family style celebrations on Mirror Lake.

Families and visitors will be able to find all of the activities and 1980 Olympic venues courtesy of a family-style, illustrated map developed in a partnership with I Love New York and ORDA. I Love New York is using this map as a pilot program to encourage additional visitation to New York State attractions.

Mayor From page 1 public’s opinion on the community’s future growth.

He said that the current board has been too selective in deciding which businesses to allow in the village and that many local residents disagree with a municipal law that all but excludes large national chain stores from setting up shop.

“I have great concerns about the retail size cap,” he said.

“The community has said they don’t want it and it’s being forced upon them.”

Some Republicans questioned Branch’s conservatism because of his involvement in a proposed village law that would ban the smoking and chewing of tobacco in and near all municipal parks.

And for local resident Bob Brown, kicking smokers out of village parks is an encroachment on civil liberties.

“It sounds to me that I couldn’t even walk along this sidewalk here because I’d be within five feet of that park,” Brown said. “I spent 12 years building the River Walk, and when I built it I expected it would be for all citizens. I think it’s a discriminating thing and I’m having trouble with your candidacy.”

But Branch said that although he introduced the legislation, he hadn't had a chance to review the proposal until Monday night.

“My only interest was moving smokers away from the places where kids play,” Branch said. “I had no hand in the bill that was tabled by the board last night.”

The smoking ban will be up for public hearing Feb. 8.

Branch, Pelletieri, Glover and McLaughlin will also appear on the Conservative Party line.

Just a block away at the Harrietstown Town Hall, Rabideau was the easy choice for mayor. Tom Michael, who currently holds the post, has said in recent weeks that if it’s the Democratic Party’s wish to nominate Rabideau, he’ll step aside.

“As I’ve said before, if the committee chooses Clyde, I will support him 100 percent,” Michael said following the recent caucus. “He understands that our issues go beyond the village limits. He understands our issues need to be addressed on a broader scope.”

Rabideau was formerly mayor of Plattsburgh and now lives in Saranac Lake.
