WILMINGTON

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Neither Essex or Clinton County will have to pick up the tab for a 3.3 percent increase to the North Country Community College budget.

School President Dr. Steven Tyrell and Vice President for Financial Operations Bill Chapin presented the 2012-13 college budget to members of the Finance, Tax Reduction and Mandate Relief Committee July 16.

While the budget calls for the increase in expenditures to $13,630,000, both counties will be asked to contribute $1,190,000 to the school, the same amount they put into the 2011-12 budget.

Personnel Committee approves extension on fire, EMS worker’s comp deal

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County may extend an agreement for worker ’s compensation insurance for the next two years.

Bob Poitras addressed members of the Personnel and Administration Committee July 16 about the two-

year extension of PERMA on Volunteer Firefighters and EMS policy for workers compensation.

“The goal of the Essex County Fire and EMS policy is to keep the costs of insurance down for the districts involved,” Poitras said. “We go to marketplace and purchase insurance on a wholesale basis.”

Thank You! Thank you to all my friends and relatives who visited me, sent cards, and brought gifts during my recent stay at CVPH and E’town Hospital.

A big thank you to all the hospital staff, Dr. Volk and Dr. Moisan. Everyone took such great care of me.

Poitras said that there are currently 25 districts that are part of the pact (three in the county are not) and that the current market would favor the PERMA proposal.

“PERMA is the largest provider of municipal workers comp in the state and one of the top 10 in the country,” he said. “They assume the risk from the first dollar.

Three fire districts are not part of the plan. We can get with them to give them a quote and it may end up saving everyone.”

Chesterfield Supervisor and committee chair Gerald Morrow said that the county handles the agreement and receives payments from those who are part of the plan.

“We pay for the insurance and then the fire companies reimburse us,” Morrow said.

“I hope that we continue to allow them to do that in

County chairman Randy Douglas agreed.

“The flyer is much easier to understand and comprehend,” Douglas said. “People will be shocked at the potion of our county budget that goes toward the state mandates.”

“I thought that what we did last year was a great idea that did not work,” Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell said.

“People thought it was a tax increase when it was not. This is a great alternative that will help people understand their taxes.”

“They thought that was a straight state tax,” Palmer added. “I think that the best is to eliminate that line on the tax bills and go this way.”

Family Practitioner coming to Elizabethtown

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Elizabethtown Community Hospital is planning to welcome Dr. Mary Glickman to its staff.

Dr. Glickman will be establishing her full-time family practice at the Elizabethtown Community Health Center.

She will also be on-call for emergency situations at the hospital, as part of the scheduled rotation with the hospital’s other physicians. She will be accepting patients, beginning July 23.

Glickman, who hails from Minerva, is excited about establishing her medical practice in the local area.

“I’m looking forward to working in this small, but bustling, Adirondack community where we really get to know our neighbors,” said Glickman. “I’m excited about becoming an integral part of the Elizabethtown health center and the hospital, using my training and expertise to assist families in our region.”

Glickman holds degrees in philosophy, public health and medicine. She brings a wide range of experiences to her position including time spent as a Peace Corps volunteer, a research assistant at the University of Arizona and experience working for various education organizations.

According to Hospital CEO Rod Boula, Dr. Glickman will be a welcome addition to the organization.

“The hospital is thrilled to have Dr. Glickman joining its professional, talented team,” Boula said. “It’s important that our area residents have

access to primary care physicians close to home.”

To help bring Dr. Glickman back to the area, Elizabethtown Community Hospital helped her secure funding from the Doctors Across New York program, which helps pay a physician’s medical

school bills in exchange for the commitment to practice in a medically underserved area.

Glickman received a master ’s degree in public health from The University of Arizona and received her medical degree from the Pennsylvania State University. She completed her residency training at the Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine.

Plan committee to send out surveys

ELIZABETHTOWN — The team working on updating the comprehensive plan of Elizabethtown is looking for community input.

The committee will be sending out a survey to residents of the town starting July 18.

“This is the first step in the completion of the plan,” vice-chairman Evelyn Hatch said.

“Residents are asked to return the survey either by dropping it off at the town hall or mailing it to P.O. Box 265, Elizabethtown, N.Y., 12932.”

Hatch said that there is also an online version of the survey which can be found at the town website, etownny.com (click the Comprehensive Plan Survey button).

“We want to make sure that people get the survey and when it comes in the mail, they do not just throw it away,” Hatch said.

The last update of the town comprehensive plan was completed in 1976, and Hatch said that the town had received a grant from the state to start work on a new version.

“An up-to-date plan improves a town’s

opportunities for grant and loan programs that might otherwise be unavailable to them,” Hatch said.

After the surveys are completed and looked at by the members of the comprehensive plan committee, there will be a community workshop which is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 18, from 9 a.m. until noon at the United Church of Christ.

“Informal groups will work together so everyone’s opinion and input will be heard to contribute to the vision for Elizabethtown,” Hatch said.

Hatch said that meetings will continue for between 18 months and two years as they develop the new plan.

Book sale dates set ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown Library will hold its annual summer book sale Aug. 2-4 at the UCC Parish Hall.

The sale will begin Thursday at noon, run all day Friday, and conclude Saturday morning with our famous Buck-A-Bag clearance extravaganza.

“It’s Worth The Trip!”

shaun@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE— Tupper Lake celebrated its founding lumberjacks during last weekend’s Woodsmen’s Days “This event has been going on for more than 30 years, and it’s important because this (logging) is what Tupper Lake was built on,” said Crystal Boucher, executive secretary of Woodsmen’s Days.

Boucher said the logging industry has changed with technology, but some of the events, like the greased pole climb and the horse pull, are as old as the village itself.

“These are lumberjack traditions,” Boucher said. “Some of the equipment wouldn’t

have looked the same, but they still went on.”

The weekend started with a barbecue and live music by the band Bitter Sweet Friday night.

Saturday’s festivities began with a parade, followed by an array of events and competitions that went into the evening.

Sunday with its chainsaw competition and the Adirondack’s largest horse pull, also saw its share of events.

Cash prizes were given to participants, and the sculptures from the chainsaw contest were auctioned off to help chip away at the cost of the weekend.

“We don’t have the same show we had 30 years ago, but we’re keeping the tradition going,” Boucher said.

Valley News Editorial

Many choices to get the word out

W

hile we highly regard the value of newspaper advertising, we’d like to see local businesses and not-for-profit organizations save money by using free marketing services and techniques as well.

In this day of guerilla marketing and purple cows, it’s easy to create cheap systems to spread the word of your special events, products, services, or bona-fide news items ... with handouts, email, Facebook, online newsletters, publicity stunts, business cards, websites, etc.

Many of these help our bottom line, with varying rates of success.

We still believe in the strength of print newspaper advertising, and we’re convinced that newspaper websites with fresh content continue to build online readers.

While some daily newspapers throughout the country are cutting back or closing, local weeklies remain strong.

Some are even growing.

So, before we head you in the direction of free listings, we’d like to remind you that Denton Publications is one of those strong weekly newspaper companies. We reach more homes by direct mail and newsstands with our free products than any other local newspaper.

During the first week in July, we delivered 37,500 papers in the northern zone (The Burgh, North Countryman and the Champlain Valley and Tri-Lakes editions of the Valley News) and 26,500 papers in the southern zone (Times of Ti, Adirondack Journal and News Enterprise).

And we’ve made a huge investment in our Denton websites and have fresh content every day, not just once a week.

Many times we’ve been the first media outlet to cover news through our websites. We broke the news, for example, when the Adirondack Park Agency voted 10-1 to approve the Adirondack Club and Resort in Tupper Lake earlier this year.

Enough about us.

The Saratoga & North Creek Railway is offering free website listings for businesses in towns along the railroad line between Saratoga Springs and North Creek. The purpose is to create a web presence that tells train travelers, “Look at all the great things to do and places to

shop, eat and stay in the Adirondacks!”

These shouts of joy, some internal but most loud enough to wake a sleeping baby or dog, are expected to be followed by ticket purchases on the railway to destinations north, toward North Creek.

Railway officials and business leaders are hoping that the ticket purchases will be followed by reservations at local motels, hotels, inns and B&Bs. Multi-day stays are needed to improve the economy.

How can you help? If you are a business owner, list your business with the Saratoga & North Creek Railway (www.sncrr.com) for free and show the world that there are plenty of things to do and see in the southern Adirondacks.

Not-for-profit organizations and businesses that want to distribute news to the public — events, employee promotions and general news items — can send our newspapers a press release. And that’s free.

For businesses, we are very picky. The release must be newsworthy. Not-forprofit organizations can get away with a lot more.

We’ve created an easy guide for submitting press releases to the Denton newspapers. It’s called the PR Toolkit, and it’s available on our websites (click media, then PR Toolkit).

With the purpose of empowering the public to become part of the newspaper process, we’re inviting all civic groups, clubs, community organizations and businesses to submit their press releases, event photos, and calendar items for inclusion in our weekly newspapers and websites.

And it’s free.

The PR Toolkit includes contact information for your newspaper’s editor.

This is another way Denton Publications is proving that “We’re more than a newspaper. We’re a community service.”

This editorial is the collaborative opinion of a board comprised of Thom Randall, Fred Herbst, Katherine Clark, Shaun Kittle, Keith Lobdell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn, and John Gereau.

Tale of two dams To the Valley News: Did you know there are two dams on Lincoln Pond?

We are all familiar with the first dam at the end of Kingdom Dam Road and the fact that it is deteriorating and needs to be replaced. New York State has recognized this fact and at some time in the future (when?) the dam is scheduled to be replaced. If the dam does fail, Lower Pond will be left with essentially a stream bed coursing through it.

The second dam is County Road 7 (Lincoln Pond Road). This dam, like Kingdom Dam, restricts water flow. Kingdom Dam created Lincoln Pond as we know it today. I have been told by the real old timers of the area that there was originally a proper bridge which coursed over the Pond and allowed the free flow of water under it. This bridge allowed the pond to flow and properly exit the waters under it. Essentially, the pond flushed itself of debris. The water flow from Upper Pond to Lower Pond was unimpeded and the pond was healthy and vibrant. It was further said that you could actually dive off that bridge into the water below.

That would not be recommended now.

About 15 to 20 years ago, Essex County replaced the roadway over the pond and filled in the pond from both opposing shores with trap rock and what looks like tailings from the old local mines. They then placed in the middle a cast concrete conduit with interior dimensions of 10 foot by 10 foot. The water depth at best in this conduit is three feet deep. Therefore, there is an opening of 30 square feet to allow all the water of Upper Pond to flow into Lower Pond.

This is totally inadequate to allow the proper flushing of this body of water. Not only is Upper Pond silting in because of this restriction, but Lower Pond is also silting in because this restricted water flow is not broad enough through Lower Pond. Just look at the Upper Pond side of County 7 versus the Lower Pond side. You will see a tremendous accumulation of silting and debris backed up on the Upper Pond side but not on the Lower pond side of the County 7 roadway. Also view the swift current of water flowing through the conduit as the waters of Upper Pond are funneled through it. The flow is so swift that in the winter, no matter how cold it is, the water exiting the conduit on the Lower Pond side never freezes.

Hurricane Irene last summer dramatically illustrated all that is wrong with this second dam. The worry was that Kingdom Dam would blow out, but it didn’t because the County 7 dam so restricted the water flow and kept that water in Upper Pond. As a matter of fact, Upper Pond rose about four to five feet during that terrible storm and Lower Pond rose about 18 inches. Upper Pond waters remained high and muddied after the storm for days while the lower pond waters returned to normal height quickly. Virtually all the damage to property during the storm was to the shoreline of the Upper Pond. The debris dumped into Upper Pond never had a chance to properly evacuate from the lake because the County 7 dam blocked it. Lincoln Pond took a catastrophic hit to its viability with severe silting.

The Lincoln Pond that is enjoyed by so many and provides significant tax revenues to the Town of Elizabethtown, the ElizabethtownLewis School District and Essex County is in severe jeopardy. The residents of Lincoln Pond pay more in taxes to the Town and ELCS than any business and receive virtually no services.

If the lake fails, the value of the homes will fall and the tax base will decrease – dramatically.

The County 7 Dam is killing Lincoln Pond and Essex County has the responsibility to correct it. They built it. It was their action to fill in Lincoln Pond and place the concrete culvert that is choking Lincoln Pond. The NYS Department of Transportation (DOT) needs to inspect that culvert to see if it is even legal to carry the loads that course over it. The DEC and the APA also have issue here to see that Lincoln Pond remains viable and to determine if illegal fill was used and/or if the body of water was filled illegally for the roadway. Essex County has to properly restore the flow of waters between Upper and Lower Ponds and to place a proper roadway allowing the free flow of water and water craft. Save Lincoln Pond. Essex County, remove that dam bridge from County7 and place a proper bridge.

Thanks for biz support

To The Valley News: Keith Lobdell and John Gereau co-authored a public interest article for the Valley News on July 7 edition titles “Au Sable Valley, Westport schools honor Veterans with Diplomas.”

My name is Michael Morris and yes, I was one of those honored by both the State of New York ad the AuSable Valley High School. The administrators of this school district, the families of these students and the students themselves, have bestowed a great honor on me which I will be forever grateful to them for this honor.

At the time when I first spoke to Mr. Matthew Rogers about this, I had expressed that I wanted no recognition at their graduation ceremony because this was their time to shine, not mine!

That said, let me point out one correction to your article where it is reported that I fought in that “conflict.” That part is incorrect. During my enlistment I did not take part in any combat or hostilities, and to claim that I did would be a falsehood.

Sirs, I know that this was an honest mistake and no malice was intended nor inflicted, and I only ask that you set the record straight.

In closing, please tell all the administrators, family and students of this graduating class of 2012 that I and my entire family wish them all the very best in life.

Semper Fi Delis.

To the Valley News: In October of 2011, when we were offered the exciting opportunity to become the 24th owners of The Westport Hotel & Tavern, we were told by some, “You are flatlanders, you may not be fully accepted as true Westport residents.” Our friends in Pennsylvania were astounded that we would quit our jobs and sell our home to come to Westport. However, we followed our dreams and hearts and the moving van, wide-eyed and optimistic, anxious to fulfill Wayne and Doris’s legacy. We arrived in Westport on Jan. 20, and on Jan. 21, we began renovations from the front door to the back. We dismissed any negativity and with genuine enthusiasm and 15 hour days (7 days a week), we worked to create a place where guests and townspeople could stay, eat and drink in a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. I used the term ”worked, “ but honestly, we were having fun! As the Westport Hotel & Tavern began to transform, our enthusiasm grew and on April 11, when we opened our new doors, I remember looking at each other and saying “I hope they come!” And, you did!

It is with heartfelt appreciation that we say “Thank you for embracing us as your neighbors and allowing us to serve you!” We never looked back, we truly have no regrets and have never been happier. Westport is our home now and we feel so blessed. Never once did you make us feel like “outsiders.” We have said many times that we have more great friends here than we ever did before, in Pennsylvania!

Many of you have said “Thank you” to us…but truthfully, the “thanks” come from us to ALL OF YOU! We will do our best to make certain, when you walk through our doors, you feel welcomed and special! We really can’t put into words our true appreciation for your friendships and the way you welcomed us into your extraordinary community.

We look forward to lots of fun, future events too, including “Dinner and a Movie Night,” “Hawaiian Luau” on 9/1, horse drawn sleigh rides (hot toddies included!) and beautiful holiday decorations in December, a Thanksgiving Feast and a New Year’s Eve Gala including E’town Express, buffet dinner, discounted room rates and a breakfast buffet you will want to wake up for! Also, entree, appetizer and drink specials will be ongoing! (Steamed little necks are in! Our drink special this week is an Island Life Saver!)

Again, our sincere thanks to all, Jim and Jayne Vance (Jesse Bella too!)

Thanks for well wishes To the Valley News: I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to my loving family and good friends for the surprise retirement party given in my honor on June 30. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for all the cards, flowers, gifts and good wishes you all extended.

Thank you also to the many friends who stopped by, gave me cards and good wishes during my last week of work at Community Bank. I have been overwhelmed by all the attention. Words cannot express how touched I am. It has been an experience I will always remember fondly.

Thank you all.

Commend decision To the Valley News: We want to commend the committee for the Willsboro Central School Wall of Distinction for selecting the First Responders of Essex, Reber, Whallonsburg & Willsboro as the recipient of the Wall of Distinction this year.

They truly are most deserving of this recognition. Their dedication to the Community is overwhelming and often taken for granted.

Thanks for help To the Valley News: On behalf of the Westport Library Book Sale Committee, we would like to thank the many volunteers who helped run a successful book sale on July 6, 7, and 8. Many volunteers willingly helped set up for the book sale, which entailed hauling boxes of books from the basement of the library and placing them, in categories, on tables. During actual sale days, our loyal volunteers "manned" the cashier desk, primped the tables, schlepped books efficiently and cheerfully! We are so appreciative of their giving so generously of their time.

THANK YOU!!!!

Book Sale Committee, Westport Library Association times that the department currently has two times blocked out each week where people can come to the offices without an appointment should read, Wednesdays from noon to 3 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. until noon. The hours were incorrectly reported at the meeting.

Appreciative of help To the Valley News: WOW!! That was one long vacation, but it’s finally done! Hope you check out the Bub’s, we moved some stuff around and added a few tables, I think you will like it.

We want to thank a lot of people who helped make it possible. The list is not in any order: Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union, My Retirement, Bryants Lumber, Bessboro Builders, Gordin Costin, Dwayne LaMotte, Bob Keech, Tommy Graham, Justin Marsha, Sam Sherman, Eric Bryant and his son, Keith Bassett, Mike Gowett, Kevin McGee, Tyler White, Cortland White, Crystal Morrill, Kevin Simpson, Theresa McAuley, Jack Pulsifer, Richard Lurkee, and a special thanks to all our customers for your patience and your continued business, because without you we wouldn’t be going on our 13th year in business.

Thanks to all of you for everything you have done, couldn’t of done it without you.

Thanks again. See you around soon.

he threat of bullying does not end when the final school bell rings, signaling the end of the school year. Bullying can happen anywhere, anywhere that children are together. It can happen at summer school, recreation programs, summer camp programs, and

By Scot Hurlburt summer sports academies or in cyber space.

Talking to your children about bullying should not end with the end of the school but rather it should be an ongoing conversation. Just as parents counsel their children at every age about issues such as alcohol use, tobacco use and drug use, an open dialogue about bullying should also be in place. These conversations may be especially important as your children head off to summer recreation activities, whatever they might be. Remember, that a tormentor may continue to taunt their victims remotely.

This possibility has been made less difficult with the advent of such mobile devices as tablet computers and smart phones. Cyber bullying can occur any time, any place, even under the nose of a camp director.

A recent national survey for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed the pervasive nature of bullying and how it can happen in any setting.

More than one in five has been bullied on school grounds, grades 9-12 and sixteen percent reported that they had been electronically bullied through texting, emails or instant messaging. Girls at 22.1 percent were electronically bullied more than twice as often as boys at 10.8 percent. Girls in tenth grade were the most bullied at 24.2 percent followed by eleventh grade girls at 19.8 percent and tenth grade boys at 18.1percent.

Parents or guardians should ask their child if they are being bullied or if they have seen other children being bullied.

Bullying relies on one key factor, silence. If children report bullying there is an opportunity to intervene. When a child discloses bullying to an adult it is truly a remarkable event. Some research indicates that many children feel shamed by the bullying experience because they feel they should be able to protect themselves from being bullied in the first place.

Though they are the victims, they often blame themselves rather than the bully. If a child chooses to disclose to an adult, that adult must have proven themselves to be trustworthy on a very high level for the child to disclose a bullying event.

Children who have special needs, have disabilities or behavioral problems are bullied more often than children who do not have any of these issues. If your child falls into this category you may want to meet with the program director to share your child’s special circumstance or need. You may want to evaluate how or if the program has a policy or strategy for helping children with special needs during the summer. You might ask how they will keep your child from being bullied.

No matter what you child’s level of functioning is there is one thing you can do to help keep your child safe. By teaching them to treat everyone kindly and with respect you will be teaching them what to expect from others. When bullying events occur your child should know that it is OK to tell an adult what happened to them or someone else that may have been bullied.

Just as children are told to respect everyone, that same respect should be afforded to them and that respect includes not being bullied while at a summer program or camp. There are many online resources for parents or guardians to review that can help a parent to talk reasonably with their children about bullying.

Some offer what to watch for if you suspect your child has been bullied. Perhaps the best protection against bullying may be a solid relationship with a parent that a child can tell if they are being bullied.

Remember, all kids count.

Saranac Lake School Board organizes for new year with new members

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — Saranac Lake Central School Board members spent their Wednesday, July 11 meeting organizing for the 2012-13 school year.

The first order of business was to swear in the three recently elected members of the School Board: Miles Van Nortwick and incumbents Deb Lennon (2011-12 president of the board) and Katie Fischer. This is Van Nortwick’s third tour of duty on the School Board, as he served two terms between 1998 and 2008. Board Clerk Chris Fransen took care of the swearing-in duties.

As soon as he was sworn in, Van Nortwick nominated board member Clyde Baker to replace Lennon as president. Then board member Lisa Paschke nominated Lennon, who was re-elected by a 4-3 vote: Paschke, Lennon, Fischer and Terry Tubridy voting in favor and Van Nortwick, Baker and Esther Arlan voting against.

Baker was the only one nominated for vice president and was subsequently elected to that position.

Board members proceeded to make a number of housekeeping decisions for the upcoming school year, including committee assignments, various appointments, extra

Art Walks continue

SARANAC LAKE — The evening of July 19 plays witness to the second of the 14th annual, Saranac Lake Third Thursday Art Walks. The village, downtown businesses, nonprofits and galleries will again host the talents of regional and local artists of various genres from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m.

Beginning a self-guided tour through downtown Saranac Lake and a couple of outer-lying venues, visitors can go to any participating venue, pick up a map, see and experience at their own pace, established artists’ work and emerging talents from all over the North Country and beyond. Most are accessible by walking the brand new village sidewalks. There will be more than 30 venues in all that evening and marked with festive balloons.

The July 19 event extends from Rice Furniture, The Waterhole and Saranac Lake Discount Liquors on Main St. up to Main Street Exchange, Small Fortune Studio, Upstairs Gallery, the Berkeley Green and the Saranac Lake Free Library’s Cantwell Room, including the new Community Store and several other venues in between. The tour winds down Broadway including the venues of Pink, the new Luna Java Coffeehouse, Goody Goody’s, Major Plowshares, Eco-Living, The Left Bank Café, NorthWinds Fine Arts Gallery and Cinderella’s.

Books and Baskets is on Olive St. and then up to Romano’s Saranac Lanes as well as the new Adirondack Carousel on the corner of Bloomingdale and Depot St. Back on Broadway and up to Cedar St., BluSeed Studios will continue their show of “Material Lab,” which highlights gorgeous wearable art by Anne Heinz and unique, sculptural assemblages by Michael Hart.

In addition, Pendragon Theater, on Brandy Brook Rd., off of Lake Flower Ave. will be showcasing the works of veteran local artists, Ursula Trudeau and Donna Foley.

In addition, various other artists will fill in the downtown area, including woodcarver, Rachel Lamb, artist, Charlene Deleel and her family, string instrument builder, Charlie Marshall, jewelry maker, Linda Gertch, artist, Cal Rice, children’s photographer, Kristin Parker, wildlife photographer, Craig Dickey and 2ndgrade photographer, Cade Corris.

districts, which change each year.

“We end up getting accused of playing God here,” Superintendent Gerald Goldman said. “We draw lines, and depending on what street you live on, we decide what school you’re going to go to, and it’s not an entirely scientific process. We do the best we can. There’s some logic applied to this ... but for some parents, these are very sensitive, difficult things to deal with.”

keith@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — The Keeseville dissolution committee is moving forward after going over the draft resolution study during its June 28 meeting.

Tim Weidmann of Rondout Consulting told the members of the committee that he and Peter Fairweather of Fairweather Consulting had begun the process of preparing a preliminary dissolution plan, which was the next step in the process.

“This is the document that spells out and identifies the legal guide if the village were to put the dissolution matter up to a vote,” Weidmann said. “It is going to take some tough back and forth and discussion for the committee to come up with how they want it to read. This is going to go through lots of drafts.”

Weidmann said that the committee will next meet on Wednesday, July 25 at 5 p.m. at the Keeseville village offices to continue to study the plan before meeting in August both as a committee and to hold a public hearing.

“In August we are scheduled to have another public meeting where we are most likely going to present the draft plan to the public for their feedback,” Weidmann said.

“In the July meeting we will come to you

with a draft dissolution plan that is as close to the mark as we feel the committee wants to be with the plan.”

The group tentatively scheduled the August meetings for Wednesday, Aug. 22 (committee meeting at 5 p.m., public meeting at 7 p.m. at the Keeseville Firehouse).

Members of the committee asked what the next steps would be in the process, including if the proposition would go to voters by November if it was approved by the village.

“My concern is the presidential election,” village trustee Mary King said. “I think that it is going to be a hot ticket and I do not think that should be held then.”

Mayor Dale Holderman said that he did not think there would be a village decision made on the matter before then.

“The next board meeting after the plan is finalized would be the second week in October and I am not going to them and saying that we need to have a decision tonight,” Holderman said. “I want them to take some time to look at this, so you are looking at the second week in November before there may be a decision.”

“Once the board acts to put that to a vote, then there is a timeline that the state has said you have to follow,” Weidmann said. “A November vote is not likely to happen. As we get to September, we will look at a more formal timeline as to when the next steps will take place.”

Hi I’m Digger Mole

Did you know that our mineral called “Wallastonite” is shipped all around the world?

Make it yourself!!!!

Want some really great beads to use in friendship bracelets, necklaces or even earrings. Make them! All you need is a few pages from magazines that are going to be recycled.

Gather your supplies: Shiny Paper like from magazines, catalogs, junk mail, etc.

White paper or cardboard from a cereal box Ruler Pencil Glue Stick Round Toothpick or Wooden Skewer Scissors Making your pattern: You are going to make a 1 inch wide 6 inch high triangle. Using the white paper/cardboard draw a line 1 inch wide. Make a mark at the half inch spot. Now measure 6 inches straight up from the half inch spot and make another mark. Draw a line from that point to either side of your 1 inch line to form your triangle.

Use your white paper/cardboard pattern to trace on the BACK side of any colorful shiny magazine pages and cut them out.

With your glue stick cover the BACK of the paper triangle. DO NOT put glue on the last half inch at the wide end of the triangle.

Place the tooth pick/wooden skewer at the wide end (where there is no glue) and start rolling to the pointed end.

You may need a little more glue to secure the point.

Carefully slide your bead off. Set is aside, when it is completely dry you can use it to make really cool jewelry.

Note: To make the beads more waterproof ask mom or dad to help you put a sealant on them. inspired by::familycrafts.about.com

BUG BITES, TICKS & BEE STINGS ... Oh My!!!

www.AMCCares.org for services and employment

Summer is finally here, so are the bugs! Here are some things you’ll want to know about bug bites, ticks and bee stings to help keep you safe and comfortable.

Some insects like spiders, bees and wasps attack us when they feel afraid or threatened, but mosquitoes, “no-seeums”and ticks bite because they need our blood to survive. Most insects “bite and run” but ticks are a parasite, that means they bite and hold on because they need the blood of the host to live. We all need to be aware of the presence of ticks, especially when we are walking in the woods, playing either in the tall grass or near rock walls. These are places ticks really like and if you pass by they crawl on looking for their next meal. Some of the ways you can protect yourself; 1. Wear long sleeved light colored clothing and tuck your pant legs into your socks.

2. Have mom or dad help you check your entire body every night for signs of ticks or a rash that looks like a bull’s eye. Call your doctor if you find either one.

Bug bites are really itchy but don’t usually make you ill. Remember the best thing to do is DON’T SCRATCH the bug bite could get infected. Try to avoid ponds and rivers especially at dusk, that’s a place bugs really like.

For most people a bee sting is like a bug bite that hurts a little more. If you get a bee sting make sure to tell an adult so they can help you get the stinger out and wash it with soap and water. Applying ice to the bump, 20 minutes off and on for up to 24 hours will help keep the swelling down. For some people, however a bee sting is a really dangerous thing. They have an allergy (say: -er-gee) to the venom that is on the stinger. This can cause swelling in their throat and make it really hard to breathe. They might need a shot to help them. That shot is often referred to as an “epiHOW TO SAFELY REMOVE A TICK: pen” because it contains epinephrine • Always let mom or dad know you found the (say: eh-pih-frin) and they keep it tick with them all the time. Just in case a • Using a pair of tweezers, grasp the HEAD of bee gets mad and stings them. the tick as close to the skin as possible Now you know what to do if you • Pull firmly and steadily until the tick lets go encounter a bug bite, tick or a bee • Swab the spot with alcohol sting, armed with this information go • Put the tick in rubbing alcohol, this way the out there and have a great, fun and Doctor can examine it.

Winter World Cup events returning to Lake Placid, Whiteface venues LAKE PLACID — Although the 2012 London Olympic Games are right around the corner, the world’s top winter athletes have their sights set on the winter games, in 2014 in Sochi, Russia.

The two-time Olympic village of Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain in Wilmington will be play host to three World Cup events this winter: bobsled and skeleton racing, freestyle skiing and luge.

“It’s setting up to be another exciting season of competition,” New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) chairman Pat Barrett said. “It’s exciting that year after year our venues continue to play host to the highest level of international competition. That speaks volumes about our world-class venues and the desire of the athletes and coaches wanting to compete on them.”

The World Cup season opens Nov. 5-10, when World Cup bobsled and skeleton racing returns to the combined bobsled/luge and skeleton track at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Olympic Sports Complex. Last February, the United States bobsled and skeleton team captured a record five medals, including four gold, when the one-mile long track played host to the 2012 FIBT world championships.

“The coming pre-Olympic season is really important both strategically and psychologically, so we are fortunate to be starting where we finished last season, Lake Placid,” United States Bobsled and Skeleton Federation (USBSF) CEO Darrin Steele said. “We are coming off of our most successful World Championships in our history on the Lake Placid track, so we have a great opportunity to continue that momentum as we set our

sights on the 2013 World Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland and the 2014 Games in Sochi.”

The world’s best freestyle and aerial skiers return to Lake Placid and Wilmington, Jan. 14-19. This marks the 27th consecutive year the region has hosted World Cup freestyle skiing. The mogul competitions will take place at Whiteface, while the aerial events will be held at the Olympic jumping complex.

World Cup competition concludes on ORDA’s venues with luge racing, Feb. 3-19.

This is the first international luge competition on the 20-curve track since the 2009 FIL world luge championships.

“USA Luge is very excited about the return of World Cup action to the Mt. Van Hoevenberg track after a four year break, USA Luge CEO Ron Rossi said. “In particular, we

are looking forward to showcasing the sport's newest event, the Team Relay. This event builds a very exciting level of drama as the race unfolds, with each country's best male singles slider, best female singles slider, and best doubles team taking one run down the track under a running clock, with the one cumulative time recorded at the end of the three sleds. Americans tend to love their team events, so the hope is that the Team Relay will allow us to attract a whole new cadre of fans to the sport.”

Other international events include Nor/Am biathlon, Feb. 23-24, and America’s bobsled and skeleton racing, March 410.

For more information about these events and all of the activities and competitions being held on ORDA’s venues, log onto whiteface.com/summer/events/index.php.

Tom Scozzafava of Moriah said.

“We appreciate you coming to us with a budget that does not include an increase for the county,” Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston added.

“We are requesting the same dollar amount from Essex County that we received last year,” Chapin said. “We are very appreciative of the support that we receive from Essex County and the importance of that funding.”

31734

Chapin also said that the school has been able to keep the tuition rate for Essex and Franklin County residents flat at $3,900 annually.

Scozzafava said that the public hearing on the NCCC budget in Essex County would be held July 30, at 9:45 a.m.

Dr. Tyrell pointed out the successes of the college that has them rated by one publication as the top community college in New York and 22nd in the nation.

“Our sponsors, as well as the quality of faculty and staff that we have on our campus, contribute to that,” Tyrell said. “They are very effective in helping the students gain the confidence to get through an associates degree or certificate program.”

Tyrell also said that the school works with students to help them give back to the counties that help fund their education.

“The staff gets them to think about ways to get the students to contribute back to Essex County once they leave,” he said.

The school, which also has a satellite campus in Ticonderoga as well as Malone, enrolls approximately 300 students from Essex County.

Scozzafava said that he hoped the college would look to bring even more residents in.

“Dr. Tyrell assured the committee that they are going to try and work hard to recruit more residents from Essex County into the school,” Scozzafava said. “Any students that go to Adirondack or other colleges, we have to pay those colleges back to the tune of about $600,000 a year.”

Tyrell also spoke about the different mediums over which people attend college.

In the last 10 years, colleges have moved as quickly as they can to online instruction,” he said. “It has been a real advantage for people who are place-bound, especially community college.

North Country has increased its online offerings. We have to look at all types of ways to deliver education today, including new kinds of ways that we see today and ways that we have not even seen yet. The one thing that we have to balance is that we cannot sacrifice the quality of education that we offer.”

Tyrell added that, if he were a college student that could just text his answer to his instructor, it would make him very happy.

“Those challenges post great opportunity for us,” Tyrell said. “There is no more exciting area to look at the use of new ways to use technology for education then in the community college setting.”

Summertime and the living is easy S ummer is now in full swing with a slate of events and activities available for almost everyone’s enjoyment. Whether it includes hiking a mountain, paddling a stream or boating the lakes, the season provides a wealth of traditional outdoor opportunities and adventures.

Although there are numerous outdoor attractions to provide entertainment, travelers should also take note of the many indoor events of interest.

After spending a hot day in the sun, it is always nice to take in a local lecture or an evening program, in the early evening hours.

The Adirondack History Center Museum will be offering the second lecture in their “Adirondack Rivers: A Mind of Their Own” series on Thursday, July 19 at 7 p.m., with SUNY Plattsburgh Geologist David Franzi presenting a program focused on the landscape impacts of stream erosion and flooding in the Keene area. The Thursday night lecture series will be hosted at the History Center Museum in Elizabethtown.

The History Center ’s lecture series will continue with Ecologist Tim Mihuc on July 26 speaking on river dynamics in the Adirondack watershed. On Aug. 2, environmental scientist Curt Stager will present a lecture on potential impacts of a changing climate on the Adirondack watershed.

On Aug. 9, Commissioner Wayne Reynolds of the Delaware County Department of Public Works will speak on mistakes and lessons learned rebuilding bridges and highways following severe flooding.

On Aug. 16, Dr. John Braico, Trout Unlimited, will speak on stream morphology and assessment following Irene. On Aug. 23, Carl Schwartz, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, will speak about stream restoration in the Adirondacks.

On Aug. 30, there is a reenactment of testimony against the State of New York after the 1856 flood. All lectures begin at 7 pm.

On Thursday evenings, the Raging River Exhibit will be open from 6 - 7 p.m. displaying historic photographs from past floods and contemporary photographs and video from the 2011 Tropical Storm Irene and Lake Champlain floods.

Photographers include Nathan Farb, Carl Heilman II, Nan-

cie Battaglia, Jack LaDuke, Naj Wikoff, Lohr McKinstry, Alvin Reiner and others. Call 518-873-6466 or email http://webmail.roadrunner.com/do/mail/message/mailto/to=echs/40adkhistorycenter.org for reservations. The price for the lecture is $5 members, $8 non-members, or $30 full series (7 lectures). The museum is located at 7590 Court Street, Elizabethtown. For more information contact the museum at 873-6466 or visit the website at adkhistorycenter.org.

In conjunction with the annual Elizabethtown Days Celebration, Margaret Bartley, author, historian and current town supervisor will present a historic slide presentation featuring, “Old Time E’Towners: At Work & At Play.” The event will be hosted at the Adirondack History Center Museum on Sunday July 22, at 3 p.m. as part of the Elizabethtown Weekend Celebration.

Although there are many larger museums in the region, including the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, and The Natural History Museum, aka The Wild Center in Tupper Lake; travelers interested in learning more about the region’s vast history should take the time to travel to the small hamlet of Onchiota. Located just down the road from the NYSDEC Buck Pond is the Six Nations Museum.

The small, seasonal museum was founded in 1954 by the late Ray Fadden, and it is only open during the summer and autumn months. It is open July 1 through Labor Day, and by appointment. For further information, contact the museum at 891-2299.

It is a small intimate facility that is bursting at the seams with information. Ray Fadden, and his Six Nations Museum are likely better known among members of the Iroquois Confederacy, than by the general public. It’s a shame, for the true beginning of all Adirondack history start with the native people. Featuring a vast collection of wampum belts, tools and numerous other native American artifacts including a dugout canoe, the museum continues to carry on the legacy of Ray Fadden. It is one of the hidden Adirondack locations that you won’t want to miss.

Learn to fish for free

In a continuing effort to get people fishing, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo recently signed legislation that will expand the opportunities for the NYSDEC to host free fishing clinics across New York State. This governor gets it, he understands the value of outdoor recreation, and the importance of providing children and adults with the skills and knowl-

NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo admires his daughter's catch, while fishing on the Saranac Lakes. The Governor recently signed legislation that will permit the DEC to host additional Free Fishing Clinics throughout the state. It is expected the introductory clinics will attract newcomers to the sport, and generate additional licenses, fishing equipment sales and additional expenditures edge to truly enjoy the local environment.

"Summer in New York is a fantastic time for families and individuals to take advantage of the numerous outdoor opportunities offered in each of our state's beautiful regions," Governor Cuomo said. "This new law will allow more New Yorkers to take advantage of free fishing clinics, so our young people and other outdoor enthusiasts can get learn to fish without having to purchase a license. Fishing is both a fun, outdoor activity, and an economic generator for communities across the state. I thank the bill sponsors for their leadership in helping this bill become law."

The initiative will allow more New Yorkers to experience fishing for the first time by increasing the number of free clinics that can be held throughout the state. The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) conducts these fishing clinics to introduce individuals and families to recreational angling. Participants are not required to have a fishing license in order to attend these clinics. Under previous law, only four free sport fishing clinics could be held annually in each of DEC's nine regions and DEC employees were required to provide at least part of the instruction at the events.

The new law will permit DEC to hold more clinics, and it will also allow fish and game clubs and other groups to conduct fishing clinics with DEC authorization. By allowing additional free sport fishing clinics, the law is designed to promote participation in recreational angling across New York State. Many local sporting federations and recreational groups run similar fishing clinics and enabling these groups to administer free clinics with DEC guidelines will benefit all New Yorkers who may be interested in fishing and enjoying the outdoors.

Valley News - 19

New book explains Lake Placid man’s survival of Holocaust, Iron Curtain LAKE PLACID — In his new book, “Reports from a Distant Place,” Frank Shatz shares stories about escaping Nazi-held Hungary and Communist-held Czechoslovakia and finding freedom and peace in Lake Placid.

The book is a hand-selected compilation of Shatz’s “World Focus” columns from the The Virginia Gazette. The columns are organized in three parts: “Under the Swastika,” “Under the Red Star,” and “In America.” The pieces he chose for this book tell the story of survival.

For 40 years, Shatz refused to speak of the Holocaust but chose to do so in the mid1980s for several reasons. One reason was to make sure people never forget. Another was to show people that the word “Holocaust” can mean different things to different people.

“To me, the word Holocaust is a mosaic that encompasses hundreds of flashes of memory, all of them related to survival during the Holocaust but outside of the concentration camps,” Shatz wrote. “I felt a need to demonstrate the complexity of life under a murderous regime and system and show how it affected people on the run.”

Shatz was born in 1926 in Parkan, Czechoslovakia, a port city on the Danube River now called Sturovo in the republic of Slovakia. His journey to Lake Placid was far from easy. It was filled with danger, near-death experiences and the anxiety of living through the Holocaust during World War II and behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. Shatz wasn’t sure he’d make it past the age of 18, never mind reach his 80s.

of Czechoslovakia, Hungary occupied onethird of Slovakia in November 1938, including Parkan.

By 1944, Shatz was 18 years old and working in a Nazi slave camp. During a B-17 bombing run, he hid in a cornfield near Budapest, then escaped, changing into clothes that were smuggled into camp.

“I was roaming the streets of Nazi-occupied Budapest like a hunted animal,” Shatz wrote. “I had no money or identity papers — and no illusions about what would happen if I were caught. I knew I would be shot.”

Luckily, Shatz ran into a childhood friend from his hometown who was a member of the Zionist-led anti-Nazi underground. He led Shatz to the Swedish House, operated by Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg. He stayed there temporarily, obtained fake identity papers and joined the underground movement.

Shatz cheated death at least three times before the end of World War II. In one instance, he was getting new ID papers at a sanatorium known to hide Jews — changing his age from 18 to 16 so he wouldn’t be drafted into the army — and left moments before a death squad came and killed all the people in the building. In another instance, he was away from his apartment when it was bombed, killing all his roommates. And then, as the Soviets began occupying Budapest in 1945, Shatz was confronted by a Soviet soldier who thought he was a spy (spion). With a rifle stuck to his ribs, he told the soldier he was a Jew, not a spy, so he was asked to say something in Hebrew. The recitation of a Jewish prayer saved his life once again.

Shatz’s mother wasn’t so lucky; she died in a concentration camp.

Under the Swastika

Under the Red Star

Hardship began for Shatz and his Jewish family after the Munich Pact was signed by Germany’s Adolf Hitler and leaders of the United Kingdom, Italy and France in September 1938. As a result of the repartitioning

As soon as the Soviets occupied Budapest, Shatz began using language to earn a living.

He was an interpreter for the Soviet army and then began working as a reporter for a small town paper in Soviet-occupied Hun-

After getting through border checkpoints on the train from Czechoslovakia to Sweden, the Shatzes traveled around Europe and the Middle East, arriving in the U.S. on the Queen Mary in November 1958.

“We requested to be awakened at dawn so we wouldn’t miss the sight of the Statue of Liberty,” Frank wrote. “It was, indeed, an inspiring image.”

After briefly working for Pan Am, Frank moved to Cleveland, Ohio to work for the Hungarian Daily as a foreign news editor. In 1961, an editor at the newspaper suggested the Shatzes spend a vacation in the Adirondack Mountains, and they took his advice.

North Elba

Capping a landfill involved a number of expensive engineering processes, including the installation of a system to vent methane gas.

In Saranac Lake, when the landfill was capped in 1996, workers from Luck Brothers in Plattsburgh covered the garbage with sand, installed a geomembrane (heavy plastic material), covered it with more sand, installed a cloth membrane, covered it with topsoil and planted grass.

“The filter and everything underneath it, what happens to that?” asked Councilman Jay Rand.

“The capping system ... that all needs to maintain its integrity, so anything that’s done basically you have to bring the site up to grade by adding fill,” McNamara said.

“The engineering that gets done will accommodate for that.”

“Quite a bit of fill,” Rand said.

“Quite a bit of fill, yes,” McNamara said.

The North Elba site is pretty well graded, according to McNamara, but the landfill in Saranac Lake is more crowned and will need a lot of fill to create the recreation fields.

Town officials said there are plans to create three recreation fields at the town of North Elba landfill and two at the Saranac Lake one.

When grant money arrives, the town and village would need state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) officials to sign off on the plan for retrofitting the fields, including rerouting the methane vents.

This grant has two components, each with

Continued from page 1 North Elba and Saranac Lake landfills.

On July 9, Saranac Lake Village Board members passed a resolution supporting the town’s application. Both municipalities are listed on the state grant, written by Matt McNamara, junior planner at the Essex County Office of Community Resources and Planning.

McNamara was at the Town Board meeting, held at the Saranac Lake Town House, to answer questions from board members.

“The landfills were capped in the mid1990s,” McNamara said. “A lot of the offgassing issues and settling have kind of run their course, so it’s a good opportunity to be looking at these sites for reuse.”

gary before World War II ended in May 1945.

With his education in Budapest and at the Karlovo University in Prague, Shatz embarked on a journalism career after the war, spending much of his time as a Prague-based foreign correspondent. He met Jaroslava there.

“My wife and I were married in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1948, shortly after the Communist takeover of the country,” Frank wrote. “As the Iron Curtain was descending, the borders were sealed off. But as an accredited foreign correspondent, I had a valid passport and could have left for the West.

But without my wife. This I refused to do.”

Over the next six years, the Shatzes dreaded the proverbial knock on the door in the middle of the night from the secret police.

Frank worried because he had helped some people escape to the West. That knock finally came, and after more than 10 hours of interrogation, Frank was let go. Less than a year later, in 1954, he was under suspicion again. This time, they had to flee.

“We fled Communist Czechoslovakia with only the clothes on our backs and a small piece of hand luggage,” Frank wrote. “But in it my wife, without my knowledge, had hidden my treasured copy of “The Anatomy of Peace,” by Emery Reeves, a book that has become my bible.”

In America

“We rented a cabin in Coreys, between Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake, and fell in love with the mountains, the lakes and the way of life here,” Frank said in an email.

It was their first vacation in the U.S., and it changed their lives. By 1962, they had moved to Lake Placid and soon opened a leather-goods store on Main Street.

“To my delight, Lake Placid proved to offer more opportunities than just hiking, skiing or making a living,” Frank said. “It provided also an opportunity for international interaction.”

The Shatzes helped with the FISU Games in 1972 and then created the People-for-People Program for the 1980 Olympic Winter Games, hosting athletes from all over the world. They were uniquely qualified, as the couple speaks six languages, including English, Russian, German, Czech, Hungarian, Polish and a few other Slavic languages.

“Lake Placid has become our homestead and the source of inspiration to try to live a life worth living,” Frank said.

After the Olympics, the Shatzes decided to spend winters in Williamsburg, Va., where he began writing the “World Focus” column for the The Virginia Gazette. This column about international affairs is reprinted weekly in the Lake Placid News. Frank is also heavily involved with the Wendy and Emery Reeves Center for International Studies at the College of William and Mary. They spend summers in Lake Placid.

“To really appreciate freedom, you have to experience life first under a totalitarian regime,” Frank said. “Basically, I see myself as a survivor who, thanks to circumstances and with the help of decent ‘good people,’ managed to survive and finally land in America.”

The Shatzes still like to travel, but they avoid places that remind them of the Holocaust.

“Although, we have been back to Western Europe many, many times, never to Eastern Europe,” Frank said. “It is a place with too heavy baggage of bad memories.” its own funding source.

The first part of the grant is for the landfill redevelopment and is being filed with the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The total cost of this project is $875,000. The application is asking for no more than $500,000.

The second part of the grant is for an update to the Lake Placid-North Elba Joint Comprehensive Plan and is being filed with the New York Department of State’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. The total cost of this project is $47,200. The application is asking for no more than $50,000.

The village of Lake Placid is partnering with the town of North Elba on this section of the application since they share the comprehensive plan.

Warnings in place for forest fires

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — A forest fire along Old Military Road was contained by firefighters from seven companies along with DEC rangers four hours after it was reported on July 12.

The fire was located about 1.5 miles west of Lake Place and broke into two along the north side of the railroad track. It was reported at 2:30 p.m. and with the quick action of DEC Forest Rangers, Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Wilmington, Bloomingdale, AuSable Forks, Upper Jay and Keene Fire Departments, contained by 6:30 p.m. according to DEC spokesman Dave Winchell.

The fire had expanded to about three acres and rose up about 25 to 35 feet before it could be contained by emergency personnel. Responders dug lines to remove potential fuel such as brush and dead trees from the fire’s path with chainsaws, brush clippers, shovels and heavy duty rakes.

As of 9 a.m. on Friday, July 13, the fire was not completely extinguished but “smoldering,” according to Winchell.

Moriah Shock inmates and about five DEC forest rangers were attending the smolder and watching for rekindling.

According to Winchell, the official report is citing the railroad as the cause of the fire, but the direct cause has yet to be determined.

Tourist trains on the Adirondack Scenic

Railroad were canceled Thursday afternoon, according to Winchell, and the railroad line between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake was being exclusively used to bring emergency responders to the scene.

Winchell warned the public that a high fire danger had been issued by DEC officials at Region 5 Headquarters in Ray Brook on the morning of July 12 and should be observed through the weekend in the Adirondack Park.

Recent warm and dry weather has created a high fire danger condition that allows wildfires to start easily and spread quickly with devastating effects. Three fires in the Adirondacks, one of which was started by an unattended campfire, had already burned 8 acres of wild lands by the time the warning was issued.

Exercise fire safety DEC strongly advises campers to be cautious with campfires: • Use existing campfire rings when possible and keep fires small.

• Scrape away litter, duff, and any burnable material within a 10 foot diameter circle. This will keep the campfire from spreading.

• Never leave a campfire unattended.

• Drown the fire with water. Make sure all embers, coals, and sticks are wet. Stir the remains, add more water, and stir again.

• Use a cooking stove instead of a campfire to prepare meals.

• Campfires are prohibited in Eastern High Peaks Wilderness.

Lake Placid golf icon J. Peter Martin was honored Friday night at the Whiteface Club and Resort. Martin is celebrating his 35th year as PGA professional at Whiteface, and some 200 people attended a dinner in his honor on the eve of the Whiteface Open. Martin received a citation from the town and village for his years of service and devotion to the game. It was also announced that Friday was J. Peter Martin Day in Lake Placid. Whiteface Club management presented him with a plaque dedicating the first hole to the long time pro.

Artist with Keene ties helping town library KEENE — An artist with connections to the North Country is using his talents to help out the Town of Keene Library.

Throughout the summer, Lewis Bruce, a native who grew up on the Ausable River between Keene and Upper Jay, will be selling his artwork, poetry and other items during the Sunday Farmer ’s Markets at the Holt House, which is located at Marcy Field, where the market takes place.

“We are pleased that they would

think of us and support us in our fundraiser,” library secretary Donna Austin said.

Bruce, who is a veteran of the Korean War and worked for technology companies Vitro Research and Bell Systems, including work on satellite and television technology, and broadcasts of the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, said that his love for art originated in the region.

“Growing up in the Adirondack High Peaks area, I was always fascinated by the way the sky and the mountains were constantly changing minute-by-minute and season-by-season,” he said. “Even

wildlife seen in one setting would change dramatically when seen in another place and time. Responding to these constantly changing colors as time, weather and temperature varied is why I enjoy doing wildlife and landscape paintings, often combining both in one drawing.”

Bruce added that his poetry also comes from his upbringing.

“The poetry that I write… is still a media for me to express the beauty of the world around me,” he said. “To me, the rhythm and rhyme of poetry is no different than the hue and saturation of color.”
