Trustees unsure losing village is right move; metting set for July 31

auction treasures found

By Christopher Pratt christopher@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ Village trustees gave the OK Monday evening to seek bids from firms interested in handling the governmentÕ s potential dissolution, although they raised concerns about whether ending the village is in the best interest of residents.

Board members unanimously voted at their regular meeting to approve seeking requests of qualifications from firms interested in handling Port HenryÕ s consolidation of services.

The state awards grants to provide local governments with funding and technical support to implement reorganizations.

Board member Matt Brassard said heÕ s been contacted by two firms who have conducted consolidation studies for other communities. Ò I think itÕ s in our best interest to at least throw it out there and see what we get back,Ó Brassard told board members and about 15 residents in attendance.

A group of residents filed a petition in June to force a vote on whether to dissolve the village.

Proponents of ending the village structure have raised concerns about a recent property take rate hike and fire department expenditures.

Crown Point Central School SADD Members recently hosted their annual lock-in. The theme of this year’s event was “Destructive/Distracted Driving” with the goal of opening the eyes of the students to how their actions behind the wheel can alter not only their lives, but the lives of those around them. Students participated in a substance-free event, learned about SADD’s mission, the dangers of distracted driving, and had fun.

This was a great opportunity for all students to feel safe and comfortable at a party, without the added peer pressure that often comes with high school. The SADD Members would like to thank the following contributors for their generous support in this event: International Paper Company, Stewart’s Holiday Match and Essex County Stop DWI.

assistant da comes to aid of defendant in need

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ It is a very rare sight to see the prosecutor trying to help the defendant in the courtroom.

On June 24, Essex County Assistant District Attorney Jamie Martineau was at his usual assignment in Ticonderoga Town Court, standing in front of a judge across from a female defendant and Essex County Public Defender Brian Boutelle.

However, the role of prosecutor and defendant disappeared when the lady started to complain she was

not felling well, according to Boutelle. Ò She didnÕ t look well, either,Ó he said. Ò Right after, she stumbled and fell down. At the time, she was still talking and told Jamie she had a seizure earlier in the day.Ó That is when Martineau, who is from Black Brook and had recently received his certification as an EMT (he serves as the Rescue Captain for the Wilmington Fire and Rescue Company), went from A.D.A. to first responder. Ò As we were standing in front of the judge, her arms started to flail and then she fell,” Martineau

said. Ò I took her into the judgesÕ chambers to let her lie down and that is when she went into a full grand mal seizure.Ó A grand mal seizure includes a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions and can be caused by abnormal electrical activity throughout the brain, a main cause being epilepsy, which Martineau said the defendant-turned-patient had. Ò I rolled her onto her side and made sure the airway was open,Ó he said. Ò I asked the clerk to call 911 and request and ambulance.

Rare Playboy magazine set for auction by Ti company

TICONDEROGA Ă‘ Sixty-two years after it was first sold, a copy of the first issue of Playboy magazine featuring Marilyn Monroe is set to be auctioned off in Crown Point this week.

It was a surprise to discover the December 1953 edition of the menÕ s lifestyle and entertainment magazine, said Rick Harker, who operates Mountain Time furniture and auction company in Ticonderoga.

Harker, who has been conducting auctions for about eight years, came across the item while preparing an estate auction of possessions left behind by a recently deceased resident of Crown Point. Ò Today we have found a incredible treasure,Ó Mountain Time officials announced last week on the companyÕ s Facebook page.

The magazine Ă’i s in near mint condition,Ă“ the message added. It and other items will be on the auction block during an estate sale at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 17 on Creek Road in Crown Point.

The rare magazine features the sex icon seminaked on the cover and nude on the inside. The cover notes it is the Ò 1st IssueÓ of the groundbreaking magazine. There were about 54,000 copies of the first edition printed at a cover price of 50 cents.

In recent years, first edition copies have sold for thousands of dollars. A quick scan of the online commerce site Amazon.com on Friday found a copy selling for $3,995.

Craig Cassidy, a buyer/seller from Rutland, Vt., who has been deciphering the value and authenticity of items since the early 1980s, evaluated the collectible magazine. In all his years, Cassidy said heÕ s never had a Ò Marilyn No. 1.Ó A picture of Monroe with an upraised arm on red velvet background, with her blonde hair flowing behind her, appears on page 19 of the magazine. Cassidy said the clarity of the images throughout are striking and would be close to impossible to replicate.

The magazine had the looks of an item that had been placed in a storage place for decades. Ò ItÕ s awful hard to get that musty smell duplicated,Ó Cassidy said. Ò ThatÕ s years of lying in an attic.Ó If word circulates about the auction, Cassidy said he anticipated the magazine could garner a winning bid in the range of $3,000 to $6,000.

Other valuables on the selling block included model planes, photographs and camera equipment. There will be Ò projectors of all types — just really stuff you don’t find anywhere,�

Harker said. But itÕ s likely nothing will catch eyes and lure in guests from afar like the Playboy magazine.

The downtown Ticonderoga business specializes in live auctions ranging from large estate sales to small consignments. For more information about the company, visit mountaintimeauctions.com.

Protest an exercise in futility

A

horde of activists descended on several Champlain Valley communities last week to protest the ongoing oil train traffic through the region.

They occupied construction sites and chained themselves to equipment in Vermont and blocked traffic in Ticonderoga.

The protests, which drew around 100 demonstrators, were held in conjunction with others across the country as part of a week long campaign coordinated to commemorate the second anniversary of the Lac-Megantic disaster, which killed 47 people after an oil tanker became untethered and blew up part of a Canadian town.

These patchouli-scented protesters, including many from the self-admitted extremist radical organization Earth First!, called for the immediate end of oil transport through the region.

While we can find common ground with their underlying sentiment Ñ the 4,000 percent increase in traffic through our communities over the past six years is certainly cause for alarm — we find their methods counterproductive.

This is nothing but an attention grab from a group of disconnected extremists with a proven track record of spiteful sabotage.

Like the Occupy Wall Street movement, their actions are designed more to stroke their own egos than moving the needle forward on public policy.

In fact, this group has had a net negative effect with their actions by forcing local emergency service providers and law enforcement officials to expend their valuable resources to monitor what amounted to a temper tantrum.

Across the lake in Vergennes, firefighters had to extract an activist who chained himself to a natural gas truck on its way to International Paper in Ticonderoga.

Not only was this wildly irresponsible, it was also ignorant considering natural gas is a cleaner alternative to fuel oil, the usage of which at IP is widely supported by green groups.

It was also dangerous considering its cargo was full of flammable material.

Authorities had to use power tools to extract the irresponsible extremist, a measure that very well could have led to Lac-Megantic, Part Deux without the proper training.

These are the very same first responders who would respond to a possible rail disaster, putting life and limb at risk while working to quench a lake of fire.

And theyÕ re understaffed across the board.

Departments in many of the Champlain Valley communities dotted along these railways are in crisis.

A pair of listening sessions to discuss the problems facing the Elizabethtown-Lewis Ambulance Squad earlier this month, for instance, drew only three people.

Willsboro and Essex officials have said their squads will flatline without a massive restructuring.

The common refrain in Keene Valley is Ò What if no one came?Ó And Crown Point, one of the communities located along the railway, doesnÕ t even have an ambulance squad anymore.

They closed six months ago because they couldn’t find a medical director.

Not only are fewer and fewer people stepping forward to volunteer for these local agencies, but departments are scrambling to afford the equipment that will keep our people safe in the event disaster does strike, from the expensive foam used to quell oil-fueled fires to the ambulances that will transport our injured heroes to hospitals.

In all, nearly a dozen state and local agencies responded on both sides of the lake last week to tend to the protestors.

It wasnÕ t free.

As these extremists did victory laps for their tantrums, our men and women in uniform quietly went on to their next assignment.

As if their publicity stunt wasnÕ t enough, these groups are now asking the community to foot their legal bills.

HereÕ s an idea: How about these agencies stick them with the bill for the equipment repairs and overtime?

That would be the sensible thing to do.

We agree that oil by rail poses a significant threat to our lakefront communities.

But we also feel confident that the persistent pressure that our elected officials, including Sen. Chuck Schumer and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, continue to apply to both the railway industry and federal and state regulators, progress is being made on ensuring the safety of our communities.

Protests are fine. But when they do nothing but stretch the resources of our hardworking agencies, perhaps it’s time to not put earth first, but rather your fellow citizens. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Problem with rising tide

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor: In their editorial Ò A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats,Ó Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau sound like ignorant politicians running for public office instead of intelligent news analysts.

Keeping in mind that it takes no credentials to be a politician, I would expect something more informed from educated newspapermen.

As sad as it is, most low-wage employees are so because they just donÕ t have many marketable skills. There are hordes of uneducated, illiterate employees nationwide demanding that the government take care of them by mandating a high minimum wage. The situation has been totally politicized by the Obama administrationÕ s pandering to its allies, especially the SEIU. I have repeatedly stated before in letters to this newspaper: It is not the duty of American businesses to provide a living wage for low skill employees.

The reason that low-wage employees can not earn a living wage is because of negligent mismanagement of the economy by government -- at all levels -- over the years by uncredentialed, incompetent politicians who have allowed the cost of living to be determined by political contributors instead of any kind of supply and demand.

Instead of minimum wage-pandering by minimal-intelligence politicians, low marketability persons need help to acquire better work skills through better education. Unfortunately, the dumbing down of the U.S. education system by the same incompetent politicians makes this almost impossible. Schools used to teach reading, writing and arithmetic. Now they teach Ò free Willie,Ó Ò Save the whales,Ó Ò Sue your employerÓ and so on.

The irony is that freeing Willie and saving whales requires a scientific knowledge of reading, writing and arithmetic!

If the benefits of a high minimum wage for unqualified employees are so great, why not raise the minimum to, say, $100 an hour?

Or, even better, $500 or more, an hour. Or, why not pay them as much as professional baseball players? That would really raise the tide!

Hang onto your firearms and pray To the Editor: Two letters in the July 11 issue need to be addressed: Ó More Gun ControlÓ by Jeff Canton in Long Lake and Ò Controversial Ideas of Right to Bear ArmsÓ by Edward Pontacoloni of Lake George.

Both were well written.

Thank you guys. But you are totally missing the why of gun control.

Repeat after me: The new world order- the new world order.

Come on now, repeat it 98 more times.

The United States has an estimated 42 to 43 percent of the privately owned firearms in the world. No government can force its will on a population that is armed.

That is the only reason we have the Second Amendment - to overthrow the government when they refuse to uphold the constitution.

Look at the statue in front of the UN Building. It is a revolver with the barrel twisted like a pretzel!

Do you think this think this just might mean something? The United Nations stated on national TV that their goal is to got the world population down to one billion.

At last count, we were over six billion. Their plans will make Hitler look like a Sunday school teacher!

Just before Comrade Obama was elected, the UN Secretary General asked him if he would consider becoming the First new World Order President. He answered, Ò I would be honored!Ó May God have mercy on us because no one else will. Hang on to your firearms and pray.

Local Essex Co. office-seekers step forward

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ DonÕ t like the way government is being run?

HereÕ s your chance to do something about it.

Every two years, Essex County voters have the opportunity to sound off on their local officials, everyone from councilmembers to supervisors.

Thirteen town supervisors in Essex County have decided to run for re-election this fall, while three towns have wide open seats for their top slots, including Lewis, Newcomb and Westport.

In Lewis, two candidates have filed petitions to replace retiring supervisor David Blades: Herbert J. Clark and James W. Monty, both Republicans.

In Newcomb, Eleanor P. Yandon (D) and Wester E. Miga (R) have thrown their hats into the ring to replace George Canon, the legendary Republican town boss who has served for over two decades.

And in Westport, Michael K. Tyler, a Republican, has filed to run the seat being vacated by long-term supervisor Dan Connell, a Democrat.

North Hudson supervisor Ronald Moore will face a Republican primary challenge from Bruce E. Caza, the only incumbent chief executive to do so.

Elsewhere, supervisors in Crown Point (Charlie Harrington), Elizabethtown (Noel Merrihew), Essex (Ed Gardner), Keene (Bill Ferebee), Moriah (Tom Scozzafava), Schroon (Michael Marnell), Ticonderoga (Bill Grinnell), Willsboro (Shaun Gilliland) and Jay have all submitted petitions to run again, including newcomer Archie Depo of Jay, who will run in his own right after the town board appointed him last month to fill the seat vacated by former super Randy Douglas.

In Chesterfield, supervisor Gerry Morrow plans on running again and will caucus with his party, the Democrats, in September.

Last week’s filing deadline revealed supers from those 10 towns will not see challenges from registered party members.

A sign of relief? Not so fast.

Challengers may lurk in the wings, independent candidates who have until Aug. 18 to file their petitions.

The race for Elizabethtown supervisor will be among the most widely watched amongst the political set, having ping-ponged between a pair of supervisors in recent years. Ò IÕ m always thinking about it,Ó said Margaret Bartley, a former supervisor who is widely expected to run again.

Bartley served a two-year term in 2012-13 before losing her bid

to former supervisor Noel Merrihew III, whom she bested to win the seat.

Bartley said she has until Aug. 18 to make a decision.

Supervisors in Minerva and St. Armand serve four-year terms and will not be up for election until 2017.

CLERKS AND BOARDS Incumbent town clerks in Chesterfield (Olinda Jarvis) and North Hudson (Sarah Vinskus) have filed petitions to run again, while incumbent town clerks-slash-tax collectors in Crown Point (Linda Woods), Moriah (Rose French), North Elba (Laurie Dudley), Schroon (Patricia Savarie), Ticonderoga (Tonya Thompson), Westport (Julie Schreiber) and Willsboro (Bridget Brown) will also run for re-election.

In Essex, Patricia Gardner is running in her own right after being appointed as a deputy by former town clerk Bill Morgan, who pled guilty to conspiracy to promote child pornography last month and is currently awaiting sentencing from a federal prison cell in Virginia.

Essex will also see two vacancies in their town board: Mark Wrisley is retiring, while Harold McDougal, the interim councilman who is filling the slot left open by James LaForest, has said he will not run for a full term.

Elizabethtown will see one vacancy on the town board with the retirement of James Phillips.

So far, no one has filed petitions in either town for the position of council.

Vandalism troublesome

M

Little Bits

by Gordie Little

ost of t h e s e Ò Little BitsÓ are what I call fluffÑ light and fun.

This one is not. ItÕ s about vandalism in cemeteries and how I believe it to be abhorrent. Most of you are familiar with a recent story about widespread damage and destruction in the historic Plattsburgh

Riverside Cemetery.

When I learned of what happened there, my stomach churned. I looked at Kaye and we said almost simultaneously, Ò Who would do a thing like that?Ó Who, indeed. Our next thought was, Ò Can the police discover the person or persons who perpetrated this heinous act and, regardless of age, will those responsible be prosecuted to the full extent of the law?Ó I have not spoken with Plattsburgh City Police about it. I am no longer an everyday reporter except in a peripheral way. However, with extensive experience gathering and delivering news to the North Country, I have ways of getting information. I will be reading, watching and listening to all who report on this Riverside desecration and will use whatever meagre influence I can muster to bring this case to a reasonable conclusion.

My friends know my passion for local history.

Kaye and I have wandered through countless cemeteries in this region and elsewhere. We believe graveyards are windows to the past. Finding the oldest cemetery in any place we visit, is like dessert after a satisfying meal. We ponder over the names, dates and epitaphs.

We have stood among the monuments and stones in Gettysburg, closed our eyes and listened for the high-pitched voice of our 16th president delivering his brief but powerful address in November of 1863. We have walked with reverence through Arlington National Cemetery and shed a tear at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We have been filled with emotion as we stood before the eternal flame honoring John F. Kennedy. We have scanned every stone in the mostly forgotten graveyards at Cades Cove in Tennessee, pondering the grief of parents who lost entire families during the 1918 influenza pandemic. We have done the same at the Post Cemetery along Route 9 south of Plattsburgh. We have replicated that exercise with bona fide historians throughout Clinton County, from the Northern Tier to the southern boundary as well as east and west.

We have studied the records painstakingly recorded

by Hugh and Woody McLellan many decades ago, along with more recent updates by Clyde Rabideau, Sr. We have traveled to Scotland and Ireland to find the graves of our ancestors and cherished gravestone rubbings done in London and throughout England by my late Aunt Freda. We have meandered through rows upon rows of interesting above-ground burial vaults in New Orleans. In short, we find cemeteries to be like libraries, revealing much about those who came before. Our righteous anger wells when we hear stories such as the recent vandalism at Riverside Cemetery on Steltzer Drive in Plattsburgh.

It would take more space than this to recount every story I know about such horrors. I recall vandals stealing skulls from a Peru cemetery vault and parading about like the demented creatures they appeared to be. I remember stones tipped over in area cemeteries as youth carried out macabre acts over the years. I know of a case where grave stones were bulldozed into a local river.

I salute my friends from the Clinton County Historical Association who tagged the gravestones of Civil War veterans recently. I applaud those who have rediscovered and reclaimed rural cemeteries that had fallen into disarray.

I will not be satiated until all who were responsible for the destruction at Riverside Cemetery are brought to justice and the damage is repaired.

Someone knows who the culprit(s) are and I pray that they will step forward to help us bring it to some kind of satisfactory end.

Thank you for indulging me and thanks for all the hard work police and others are doing in this case. Please try with all the strength and will you can muster to instill respect in your children so they wonÕ t be tempted to do such dastardly deeds.

If you see someone having a seizure

The Mayo Clinic (mayoclinic.org ) has offered these tips for helping someone who may be having a seizure: •Call for medical help.

•Gently roll the person onto one side and put something soft under his or her head.

•Loosen tight neckwear.

•Don’t put anything in the mouth — the tongue can’t be swallowed and objects placed in the mouth can be bitten or inhaled.

•Don’t try to restrain the person.

•Look for a Medical Alert bracelet, which may indicate an emergency contact person and other information.

•Note how long the seizure lasts.

A grand mal seizure lasting more than five minutes, or immediately followed by a second seizure, should be considered a medical emergency in most people. This is also a medical emergency if the person is pregnant, injured or diabetic. Seek emergency care as quickly as possible.

Grand mal seizures have two stages: Tonic phase: Loss of consciousness occurs, and the muscles suddenly contract and cause the person to fall down.This phase tends to last about 10 to 20 seconds.

Clonic phase: The muscles go into rhythmic

contractions, alternately flexing and relaxing.

Convulsions usually last for less than two minutes.

The following signs and symptoms occur in some but not all people with grand mal seizures: •Aura: Some people experience a warning feeling (aura) before a grand mal seizure. This warning varies from person to person, but may include feeling a sense of unexplained dread, a strange smell or a feeling of numbness.

•A scream: Some people may cry out at the beginning of a seizure because the muscles around the vocal cords seize, forcing air out.

•Loss of bowel and bladder control: This may happen during or following a seizure.

•Unresponsiveness after convulsions: Unconsciousness may persist for several minutes after the convulsion has ended.

•Confusion: A period of disorientation often follows a grand mal seizure. This is referred to as postictal confusion.

•Fatigue; Sleepiness is common after a grand mal seizure.

•Severe headache: Headaches are com-

Elks seeks donations for annual dictionary project

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Elks Lodge No. 1494 is seeking the communityÕ s help in fundraising to benefit local third graders and foreign language students.

Annually, the Elks partner with The Dictionary Project out of South Carolina to give dictionaries to local third graders, as well as translation dictionaries to area Spanish and French students. Ò We call them dictionaries, but they are really much more than that,Ó said Richard Nadeau, who organizes the project. Ò They have the periodic table, multiplication tables, history and biographies on all of the presidents of the United States, a planetary index. It is really more like an encyclopedia.Ó Nadeau consults with school districts over the summer then orders the dictionaries for students in Putnam, Ticonderoga, St. MaryÕ s, Crown Point, Moriah and Schroon Lake schools. In the past, the Elks have also donated to Mountainside Christian Academy and the Addison School District in Vermont, based on need.

“I find out from each school how many kids they are expecting in third grade and then order a few more just in case,Ó he said. Ò I will actually be ordering them within the next week or so.Ó The majority of the fundraising is done through Elks members, but Nadeau also makes an annual plea for the general public to help supply the students with these useful resources.

“We would like to get involvement from all of the communities this program benefits,” he said. Ò It is always very satisfying to bring these into the schools. The children get excited about it, and so do the teachers.Ó For every $50 donated, the Elks will put labels in 30 dictionaries with either complements from the donors or Ò In MemoryÓ of someone the donor wants to remember.

For more information and to donate to the Elks Dictionary Program, contact Nadeau at 585-7659 or email ex939@yahoo.com.

Port Henry marina wins big cut in property assessment Port Henry business has been overvalued by assessor

By Christopher Pratt

christopher @denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ A Port Henry marina will receive a refund and a reduced 2015 tax bill, following a decision by village officials Monday to knock down a bloated $1.23 million property assessment, which the business operator says could have made it harder to keep a Lake Champlain staple afloat.

Village trustees voted to reduce the total assessed value of Van Slooten Harbour Marina to $550,000. The $680,000 reduction in property value came as a result of a court-ordered settlement, village documents show.

No discussion was held by board members prior to or after passage of resolutions signing off on the changes. The reduced assessment means the companyÕ s 2015 village tax bill will drop from roughly $14,488 to $6,478.

Besides authorizing the adjustment to the current year’s tax bill, village officials also signed off on a payment of $13,402.36 to the marina, which was done to refund overpayments made from 2012 to 2014. Ò It helps me out a lot,Ó Ron Van Slooten, who operates the facility at 54 Harbour Lane, said after the meeting.

Van Slooten said officials have repeatedly overvalued his property, which rests along one of the worldÕ s most scenic waterfronts.

The property calculations are being done based upon the beachfront propertyÕ s Ò potential not its current state,Ó Van Slooten said as he stood near the village hall.

The high assessments of the property have brought more than headaches and an occasional visit with officials to clear up how the property breaks with general assessment practices. Van Slooten said heÕ s had to consistently foot legal bills to get the values corrected. Ò WeÕ ve fought them four times in a row,Ó he said.

Port Henry has been hit hard economically in recent decades, with a mining operation and other businesses closing up shop.

As he stood along Main Street, Van Slooten recalled the village had a lot more business activity when he started up the boating operation about 25 years ago. He said keeping the marina operational has been challenging, particularly when gas prices spike. Still, Van Slooten said heÕ s optimistic the shores along Lake Champlain will continue to be a viable place for him to make a life. Ò This spot is unique,Ó he said.

Van Slooten Harbour Marina in Port Henry has faced legal challenges with having its assessed value computed at more than $1.2 million. Village officials approved on Monday approved reducing the assessed value to $550,000, which came as a relief to marina operator Ron Van Slooten.

Chamber tools itself for growth in Moriah area Moriah chamber to add staff, focus on outreach

By Christopher Pratt

christopher @denpubs.com

MORIAH Ñ Those looking to do business in Moriah may soon find it easier to learn about networking opportunities, tourist services and real estate opportunities.

The Moriah Chamber of Commerce is charging ahead with plans to bring aboard a paid staffer, and it has also

increased its presence through events like ribbon cuttings.

The new office administrator is likely to hired in the next few weeks, officials said.

Chamber member Catherine Sprague, who has been spearheading a recent membership drive, said in a mid-June interview that the part-time staffer

will promote restaurants, lodging spots and destinations including the Village of Port HenryÕ s Champ Beach Park.

The staffer will also focus on organizing chamber events and improving communications. Plans call for the new hire to draft monthly newsletters and handle press releases.

The compensation for the position is expected to be $9 per hour, according to a job description posted on the chamber website.

Sprague, who often entertains under the name Penelope the Clown, said her passion for the chamber is linked to positive experiences sheÕ s had volunteering with the group. For example, members come together annually to pull off logistics associated with Champ Day and Labor Day. The events are Ò really, really great,Ó she said.

Through the chamber, members get connected to regional groups such as the Essex County Industrial Development Agency. The chamber can also be a resource for those interested in real estate opportunities in the southeast

Adirondacks. Ò Right now the marketÕ s hot... Real estate is just going,Ó Sprague said.

Chamber vice president Linda Smyth said recent ribbon-cuttings have served as a way for members to build connections. While many members are traditional main street retail businesses, the groupÕ s ranks have seen an influx recently with people who work from home-based businesses.

The Ò BakerÓ y in Mineville and Edgemont B&B near Port Henry were two of the businesses honored at June ribboncuttings. Vincent Dupont, who operates the bicycle-friendly bed and breakfast near Lake Champlain, said he became involved with the chamber to form relationships that could help improve his own business and to connect with others who have similar interests.

Annual membership rates range from $10 for an individual to $40 for a business. And Ò anybody can join,Ó Smyth said.

Dissolution Continued from page 1 Village officials expect to review bids at a July 31 meeting. The date of election is also expected to be revealed at that time. Residents are encouraged to attend.

One resident in attendance at Monday’s meeting said it’s important for officials to be able to accommodate a large crowd and suggested officials make a video recording of the July 31 meeting.

Mayor Ernie Guerin said officials would move the meeting to a larger setting if it became difficult for those who attended to follow the proceeding. Guerin said in an interview that village officials will prioritize making sure people get quality information to make an informed decision.

Although he supported the authorization to take in bids to examine how the village could plan for disbanding, Guerin said that doesnÕ t mean he supports doing away with the village.

Guerin said heÕ d plan to vote against the upcoming referendum, and said thereÕ s been some misunderstanding about the fire department’s operations. “The biggest thing with people here in this village is they’re led to believe that this fire department is a big burden on them,” Guerin said. Ò They donÕ t look at what it really does.Ó Village officials said if an outside firm is brought on it will likely be able to update a consolidation study that was conducted the last time the village broached the controversial subject in 2010.

Officials expect to have more details about the expenses at the meeting later this month.

Board member Ruth McDonough said in an interview that it is important for voters to understand that dissolving the village doesnÕ t mean they will wash themselves of taxes, and explained

that quality of services could be affected.

Like in 2010, residents will have plenty of information to weigh about whether to dissolve Port Henry. After reviewing the study conducted a few years ago, McDonough said she gleaned that it wasnÕ t in the villageÕ s long-term interest. Ò It really didnÕ t benefit the village a whole lot,” she said.

Supervisor: Focus on understanding dissolution issues

Moriah supervisor Tom Scozzafava said in an interview that issues associated with dissolving a village are complicated and urged all involved to make it a priority to understand them. Ò Ultimately, itÕ s the town and village boardÕ s responsibility to provide people with factual information. We should involve and invite: Department of State representatives and NYS ComptrollerÕ s Office. They absolutely have to be part of discussion, as do fire departments,” Scozzafava said.

Schroon Lake craft market in full bloom Thursday event is a staple

By Christopher Pratt

christopher @denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ A local group of crafters and merchants sets up shop in Schroon Lake each Thursday throughout the summer, bringing a hub of commercial activity to a normally indistinct greenspace near town hall.

For a few years now, Mickey Caputo-Abbott has spearheaded the Schroon craft fair. It kicks off in late June and runs through early September. More than a dozen vendors typically flock from all across the Adirondacks to set up under tents just west of the town hall parking lot at 15 Leland Ave. Locally produced goods are featured including soap, maple syrup, crochet items, woven and wooden spoons.

Many crafters spend a lot of their days in solitude producing time-tested objects, so the weekly gatherings during the high season provides them a chance to swap stories, form friendships and get the word out about their products. Ó ThatÕ s what this is all about,Ó Caputo-

Abbot said.

Town of Schroon supervisor Michael Marnell said the market is a Ò great opportunityÓ for area crafters and artisans to mingle and market their work. ItÕ s also an attraction for tourists, he added.

Caputo-AbbotÕ s stop at the temporary outdoor commerce center offers children a chance to interact with some of her homemade items, including ceramic products. On a recent Thursday, Caputo-Abbot beamed as she spoke with a young visitor. Ò I allow children to create their own masterpieces,Ó she said.

As she walked around and greeted other vendors at the market, Caputo-Abbott was boisterous about the talent on display. The handmade birdhouses, woven baskets, glass work and other items are unrivaled. Ó You canÕ t get any better,Ó she said.

Birdie Bolton, who produces items including fobs, coasters and organic catnip bags, is one the growing number of merchants who have put energy into consistently coming to the Schroon crafts event on Thursdays. It offers a steady stream of local residents, seasonal residents and one-time visitors, which bodes well for sales. “There’s a lot of foot traffic,” Bolton said.

Clerk, judge seats up for grabs in Essex Co.

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ A local schoolteacher has entered the race for Essex County Clerk.

Luke Hudak, 34, filed his petitions on Thursday, July 9.

A Lake Placid native and graduate of St. MichaelÕ s College in Vermont, Hudak began teaching history at the North Country School in September 2012. Before that, he taught history, English and science at the now-defunct National Sports Academy.

This marks Hudak’s first run for elective office. Ò I wanted to get into the political community here for a while,Ó said Hudak. Ò The opportunity presented itself in the past couple months and the time was right to try to make a run at it.Ó The Essex County ClerkÕ s Office is responsible for the maintenance of land and court records. They issue passports, pistol permits and administer the department of motor vehicles.

Why does Hudak want the job? Ò My colleagues and associates thought it would be an appropriate fit for my skill set and background,Ó said Hudak, noting he possessed strong management skills.

Hudak said while he believes the office is well-run, thereÕ s also room for improvement for county taxpayers. Ò If you look at the history of the office over the past 15 years, research has shown the size has grown in terms of numbers,Ó he said. Ò What hasnÕ t grown is services provided, in part, for working people and working families.Ó As clerk, Hudak said he would consider increasing the office’s hours to nights and weekends for those who work during regular business hours.

The office’s current summer hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mon-

day through Friday.

While the candidate admitted that it is not within the province of the clerkÕ s responsibilities, he said the county doesnÕ t have a reputation as a leader in environmental issues.

If elected, he said he would explore that.

The office’s incumbent is Joseph Provoncha, a six-term officeholder who is midway through his 24th year on the job. Ò ItÕ s great to have experienced people in there,Ó Hudak said of Provoncha. Ò I have respect for someone who has been on the job, but experience alone doesnÕ t mean itÕ s the best person for the position.Ó The Essex County Board of Elections has received 115 local petitions for local officeseekers, reported Commissioner Alison McGahay on Monday.

The office spent Monday weeding through objections, which are allowed to be made for three business days following their filing.

Hudak said he doesnÕ t anticipate a problem with his petitions being accepted and looks forward to spending the next four months campaigning. Ò IÕ m going to make a strong challenge for the position,Ó he said.

While Hudak filed petitions to run on the Democratic line, he is a registered member of the Labor Party.

The Essex County Democratic Committee unanimously endorsed Hudak after meeting with him on Saturday. Ò The committee is enthusiastic about having an Essex County native running for this important office and is working hard to encourage and support the next generation of Adirondackers who will become our public officials,” said the committee in a statement.

The freedom to choose elected officials is the founda-

tion of American democracy, they added. Ò With Luke Hudak on the ballot, the voters of Essex County will have a choice when they vote for County Clerk on Nov. 3,Ó said the Democrats.

Provoncha, who is running on the Republican and Conservative lines, said he looks forward to serving the county for another four years.

The office’s accomplishments include the launch of a DMV office in Ticonderoga and the continuing push to digitize years of records.

Earlier this year, the office began offering online access to a number of documents that have been recorded over time, including deeds, orders, DBA certificates, mortgages, survey maps, liens, civil court actions, judgements, assignments and satisfactions, local laws, Adirondack Park Agency and Lake George Park Commission permits.

Provoncha has said the online access acts as a revenue generator for the county.

Work to digitize records is ongoing, a process that will be accelerated if his office lands a special grant for which they have applied. Ò It took a lot of work to harness the technology,Ó said Provoncha. Ò But after the hurdles, the technology seems to be falling into place.Ó Essex County Republican Chairman Shaun Gillilland said the group is Ò extraordinary proudÓ of the incumbent, calling him the most dedicated public servant that the county has ever seen.

Citing ProvonchaÕ s long service, Gillilland noted the North Hudson resident was recognized by the New York State Association of County Clerks three times with the award of Highest Honors. Ò Joe serves the county, but more importantly, he serves each and every citizen of Essex County with dedicated personal service,Ó said Gillilland.

Ò He doggedly addresses any issue for any resident in his capacity as the County Clerk. He is a dedicated public servant, a patriotic American citizen, a faithful servant of his church and a loyal Republican.Ó Voters will head to the polls on Sept. 10 for the primary election and on Nov. 3 for the general.

Judge

The other countywide race is for Essex County Judge.

Incumbent Richard Meyer is seeking another 10-year term on the bench.

HeÕ s running against Brian Barrett, a Lake Placid-based criminal defense attorney. Ò My plans are to work hard, get re-elected, and let people know about my experience and knowledge,Ó said Meyer. Ò I plan to contrast that with my opponent and let them make a decision.Ó In addition, Meyer said he will continue to work hard everyday to keep up with his caseload and make sure county residents are dealt with fairly.

Meyer has received the endorsements of both the Essex County Republican and Conservative parties.

Barrett has received the endorsement of the Democrats and is seeking to force a Conservative primary amongst the partyÕ s 193 registered voters.

Candidates for county judge do not need permission from the parties to circulate petitions on their line. Ò ItÕ ll be like a mini-race inside of a race,Ó said Barrett. Ò I look forward to testing the Conservative Party waters this summer.Ó Barrett said he feels at ease now that the petition process is over. Ò We can now focus on canvassing the county and meeting new people and continuing to get the message out,Ó he said.

CROWN POINT Ñ The friends and members of both First Congregational Church and the United Methodist Church of Crown Point will join their Services Sunday, July 19, at the United Methodist Church, Creek Road, at 9:30 a.m. During this combined Service, the friends and members of First Congregational Church will move for the Sunday to the United Methodist Church. Music, prayers, a timely Message and great fellowship are only part of the blessings.

Historically, the Churches have been very close over the many years; having been Ò YokedÓ for more than a quarter of a century.

In the past decade, the two faith communities have worked together to support the Crown Point Ecumenical Food Bank (housed at the United Methodist Church). This joint effort which also includes Sacred Heart Parish, began quietly in the 70Õ s and has been located at each of the three church homes.

The Parishes have also worked together with many of their community businesses providing a Thanksgiving meal for the elderly and those who are alone or unable to provide their own meal. The Community Thanksgiving meal will mark itÕ s ninth year in November.

The two Parishes will join together in August at the Penfield Heritage Day and are also exploring a Community Vacation Bible School later in August.

Steak roast, parade set in Newcomb Event to honor retiring super, fire chief

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com NEWCOMB Ñ An annual tradition here will be adding an event to honor two long-time servants of the community.

The annual Newcomb Steak Roast, run by the Newcomb Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad, will be held Saturday, July 25.

Before the roast, however, there will be a parade through town to honor Newcomb supervisor George Canon and fire department chief Mark Yandon, who will both be retiring from service this year.

Parade lineup will start at 10 a.m. at the Newcomb House Bar, stepping off from the Newcomb House at 11 a.m. and making its way through town, led by a team of oxen who will be pulling a wagon with the guests of honor and other dignitaries.

The parade will end at the Newcomb Central School, leading onlookers and food lovers to the Newcomb Town Beach for the annual steak roast. The roast will also feature hot dogs and hamburgers.

For more information or for tickets to the steak roast, contact Wes Miga at either 582-5528 or 5822402. People are asked to call soon because tickets sell fast.

People interested in participating in the parade can also contact Miga at the numbers above.
