E L I Z A B E T H TO W N — A brush fire nearly escalated to a forest fire on Brainard’s Forge Road Friday, April 6.

At about 2:15 p.m., Jason Sherman noticed a small grass fire at the front of his property at 339 Brainard’s

Forge Road. Within minutes, Sherman said the fire spread to a big brush pile in the yard near the tree line.

“It grew by the seconds and within a minute it jumped to the trees,” Sherman said.

Elizabethtown Volunteer Fire Department Second Assistant Fire Chief B.J. Wright said firefighters from the

Lewis Volunteer Fire Department joined his crew at the scene at about 2:25 p.m. and within a few minutes had extinguished the flames.

A Red Flag Warning was issued for all of Essex County on April 6 at 12:46 p.m. by the National Weather Service and remained in effect until 8 p.m.

Elizabethtown Fire Investi-

gator Jack Hanby said during a Red Flag Warning residents should use extreme caution and should not burn brush or anything else due to the high winds. Any fires that occur are warned to burn intensely and may be difficult to contain according the weather advisory.

Science Fair grows in second year at Elizabethtown-Lewis School

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Lucas and Gavin Spilling directed their robots across the auditorium floor.

The brothers, who both have an interest in robotics, were part of the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School Science Fair, held Wednesday, March 21.

“My brother did his project on how to build robots, and I focused on programming,” Lucas, a fourth-grader, said.

Teacher Kaitlin Fielder said that, in its second year, the fair had expanded and had more

Camp scholarships available ELIZABETHTOWN — Families First is pleased to announce the availability of two camp scholarships to Brantwood Camp in New Hampshire for the summer of 2012.

Brantwood Camp is open to boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 15, with 15-yearolds accepted on an invitational basis. The camp hosts three summer terms, each lasting 16 days.

Scholarships will be funded from the Jamie Paul Clark/Brantwood Camp Memorial Fund. Jamie Paul Clark, a long term resident of Westport, passed away in January 2011. He had a lifelong love of Brantwood Camp, having been a camper there in his youth. He continued his association with the camp for the rest of his life, maintaining close relationships with former campers,

participants.

“We have over 65 projects from students in kindergarten through 12th grade,” Fielder said. “It is all-encompassing and open to anyone who wants to enter. It is a very huge turnout considering this is all voluntary.”

Fielder said that, while voluntary, some classes used the science fair as part of their class, and others used it for extra credit projects. She also said that the number of students who patriciated from the older grades had increased.

“I think that it is great that there was a bigger turnout from the middle and high school grades,” she said. “Next year, we hope to keep expanding and making it even bigger.”

Fielder said that, with another year under their belt, the students had stepped up their projects.

“The quality of the projects has increased from last year,” Fielder said. “You can see that there was a lot of effort and family involvement put into the projects. It’s nice to see families working together, but you can tell that the kids were the ones that did the main work for the projects and took the time to put everything together.” staff, and Board members. Jamie Paul Clark was also known for his local philanthropy, supporting many Essex County organizations generously, including Families First.

Brantwood alumni friends George Topka and John Marshall collaborated with Families First to establish the scholarship in Jamie’s name, partnering two organizations dear to Jamie’s heart and providing scholarships to Essex County youth.

If you know of a boy or girl interested in a summer camp experience in New Hampshire, please contact Anne Griffin, Development Director at Families First, 873-9544.

For information on Brantwood Camp visit their website at www.brantwood.org Camp applications must be submitted by April 1, through Families First as the sponsoring agency.

Westport Central School to put generator, library project up for vote

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Westport Central School has voted to put a Capital Improvement project before voters on May 15 for construction proposed that would cost district taxpayers nothing.

The project will include tearing out the sun room in the library and building a newer sunroom to enclose the library, along with the purchase of a new 150-kilowatt generator for the building. The total project cost is estimated to be $450,000.

Superintendent Dr. John Gallagher said by using the undesignated reserves, an EXCEL Grant and State funding, the improvement project will have little to no impact on taxpayers.

“The whole thing is paid for so the cost to local tax payers is zero and there will be no influence on tax rate for the first years,” Gal-

lagher said.

The project will be funded in part by an EXCEL grant, which has designated $81,396 for the district. EXCEL (EXpanding our Children’s Education and Learning) is a onetime aid grant created by the New York State Legislature to provide school districts with additional funding for specified types of school construction projects.

Gallagher said state funding for aidable work balance will cover 65.4 percent of the construction cost, amounting to roughly $293,850. $77,000 of undesignated reserves will also be used for the project.

The construction on the sunroom, which was originally built in 1996, qualifies for the EXCEL grant as an sunroom.

“It’s disintegrating, we have what we call 12 bucket days when it rains,” Gallagher said.

Caulking around the glass panes has start-

ed to corrode over the years, Principal Architect at AES North East and project architect David Whitford said. The disintegrating caulking has resulted in massive leaks into the library and seeping water between the panes, which breaks them as it freezes.

Whitford said the board hopes to replace the sunroom with a newer sunroom that will have a solid roof instead of a glass roof.

Newer sunrooms have longer warranties than older models and are designed to be more efficient.

The other half of the project will be the installation of a 150-kilowatt diesel generator which will allow the building to function as a shelter in case of an emergency. The generators installment will require construction of a concrete pad in the front of the school and also will require a brick facade to hide it from street view. Whitford said the generator ’s installment will require major rewiring to allow it to power the school’s heating sys-

tem, life safety systems and the kitchen.

The school will be able to function as a shelter for Horace Nye Nursing Home and Camp Dudley in the summer.

“It won’t light the addition of the building, but it will allow us to have emergency light, heat and support to function as a Red Cross Shelter,” Gallagher said.

Other projects originally proposed for inclusion in the project were repairs to the bus shed, rehabilitation of the schools parking lot and upgrades in building security. Gallagher said those projects will have to wait when more money becomes available. Gallagher said the board wanted to complete projects that would have the most limited effect on tax rates.

The school board will hold a public hearing on the project May 3, and residents will vote on the project at the districts annual meeting on May 15.

Saranac Lake Area Tourism Council formed

Nobody Does It Better!

SARANAC LAKE — Local, county, and regional tourism organizations as well as local businesses have created a Tourism Council to market the Saranac Lake region.

“The Saranac Lake Area is in a unique tourism position saddled between village, town, and county lines.

The Tourism Council’s goal is to bring our various tourism partners together including local government, business, and tourism organizations to create a coordinated and proactive marketing effort,.” said Tourism Council member Nicole Brownell, of Gauthier ’s Saranac Lake Inn. The Tourism Council is represented by the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism, Franklin County Tourism, Village of Saranac Lake, the Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, Town of Harrietstown, and tourismbased businesses such as Gauthier ’s Saranac Lake Inn and Homeyer Lodge on Lake Clear.

“As we move forward it is the hope of the Saranac Lake Tourism Council to broaden this working group to include other towns, tourism organizations, and tourism related businesses” Brownell said.

The Tourism Council concept was identified in the 2009 Destination Marketing Plan commissioned by the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism.

“The Tourism Council concept was identified in the destination master plan developed for the Saranac Lake area completed several years ago,” said Jim McKenna, President and CEO of the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism. “We look forward to being part of the Council to energize the implementation of this plan.”

Sylvie Nelson, Executive Director of the Saranac Lake Chamber of Commerce added that partnerships such as the Tourism Council are very important and enable organizations and businesses to accomplish much more by pooling resources to reach goals.

The group has identified several short-term goals including: an outreach with additional partners; a redesign of the Saranac Lake Chamber ’s website for use as a primary platform for visitor services and marketing; creation of tourism-friendly signage at the entries to the Village, such as welcome banners; and promotion of the Tourism Council as the place to assist and facilitate events.

Several long-term goals were identified by the group including: co-op marketing and promotion of the Saranac Lake area as a destination; erasing political boundaries; and identifying and supporting shoulder season events.

“Partnerships will be vital in order to implement tourism projects going forward and the Tourism Council can serve as an effective clearinghouse for local events,” said Jeremy Evans, Saranac Lake Community Development Director.

Ernest Hohmeyer, a volunteer consultant concluded “Members of the working group believe that the Tourism Council concept may be an important step to develop a regional marketing effort ‘without borders.’ Over the coming months, our goal will be to begin to network with our partners throughout the Tri-lakes to receive their input and leverage resources to position all of us as the Adirondack’s marquee regional tourism destination.”

cial sites and have created portraits of each other in different medias, which will be on display along with other works by the young artists.

“Not only is this a chance for the students to learn to work with different artists and teachers it’s also an opportunity to learn to mount, hang and market their show. They will get advice from some of the artists that were on display at the LPCA Gallery Social FaceWorking show, an opportunity not often available to high school students in the northern Adirondacks,” said Rogers. “With so many local students involved from these two schools, we expand the knowledge and open the

eyes of not only those directly involved, but also of the people of the community along with friends, family and visitors.”

LAKE PLACID — The first Student FaceWorking Show will open at the Lake Placid Public Library on Wednesday, April 25, 4 to 6 p.m. The show is comprised of works from two schools and 20 students.

The event is organized by Nip Rogers. Rogers, the force behind recent, very successful Social FaceWorking shows at the arts center here and at the Proctor Theater in Schenectady, is introducing a slightly different version of the concept to bring students from Saranac Lake High School and Northwood School together. The participants have linked to each other through so-

Valley News Editorial

Synthetic pot: The fight is not over

T

he troubling news reports began late last year, describing the dangers linked with the use of synthetic marijuana or herbal incense products sold over-the-counter.

Whether it was teens suffering severe health problems such as seizures, blackouts and kidney failure or exhibiting psychotic episodes or violent behavior, the use of the chemical-laced plant substances sold as “Posh,” “Wicked X” or “K2” prompted grave concerns among law enforcement officials, medical professionals and emergency responders.

At first were the local reports of young teens suffering convulsions and hallucinations — and burglarizing stores to obtain the substances.

Emergency medical responders witnessed people threatening suicide or exhibiting demented behavior, as well as experiencing vomiting, high blood pressure, heart attacks and swelling of the brain.

Then there was the local news report in October that a Fort Edward man violently attacked a woman — attempting to strangle her and shove his fist down her throat — after smoking herbal incense. He told authorities he didn’t remember what had happened after his smoking session.

Also, reports were heard nationwide of various deaths and suicides blamed on psychotic behavior linked to the drug.

The same month, a Glens Falls woman was stabbed over a dozen times by her teenage son after he smoked synthetic marijuana. At the youth’s recent sentencing, the woman — who is facing permanent injuries — pleaded with the judge to be lenient, because his behavior was prompted by the drug and he had no prior criminal record.

We applaud the administration of Gov. Andrew Cuomo for imposing a ban two weeks ago to halt the sale of synthetic marijuana products, which officials say are highly addictive and a pose a severe health hazard.

The immediate ban was a measure enacted through the state Health Department, because Cuomo and other state officials sought to protect the

state’s citizens as soon as possible — by bypassing the lengthy process of getting such laws approved in the state legislature.

Cuomo and Health Commissioner Nirav Shah deserve credit for taking such fast action. We also support U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer ’s campaign to criminalize the substances nationally.

We in the Adirondacks, however, can be particularly proud that our county leaders, law enforcement officials and community activists have been leading the way on banning these dangerous substances.

In February, a group called Bringing Essex County Strengths Together — which included Elizabethtownarea students and youth advocates — met with area leaders, local politicians and law enforcement officials to warn them about the dangers associated with synthetic marijuana.

The meeting resulted in a campaign to urge area stores to voluntarily stop selling the substances. Key adult leaders in this effort were Essex County Community Resources Director Michael Mascarenas, Elizabethtown Social Center Director Arin Burdo, and Mac MacDevitt, community prevention coordinator of the Substance Abuse Prevention Team of Essex County.

In addition, credit goes to Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague and county Sheriff Richard Cutting, who demonstrated leadership in calling for a ban.

In Warren County, credit goes to Lake George citizen activist Joanne Gavin for urging the local town board to enact a ban, and not wait for federal and state authorities to take action.

Within days of Gavin’s plea, Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan and local state Trooper James West urged county supervisors to See POSH, page 7

Its about what we get To the Valley News: It disturbs me that there is constant reference to how much the Horace Nye Home loses each year, instead of establishing what the county gets for its residents for that amount of money. Is the value there, or not? I believe it is foolish to believe that a publicly run institution will provide equal care. How will they not only avoid the losses, but even make a profit? I think I am reasonably aware of how the nursing home is run, now, and there is not a chunk of “inefficiency” that will be allow for profit and better or equal care. I believe we ought to be proud of having a nursing home, now, that distinguishes itself. If the way to making a profit is basically discarding patients on public support and going to a more lucrative clientele, is that what we want to be remembered for?

Don Austin, PhD Elizabethtown

Thanks for support To the Valley News: I would like to thank everyone who donated to the Indiana Tornado Fundraiser, the stores for letting me hang posters in their windows and bulletin boards; the Cub Scouts of Pack 63 and their families for helping; Westport Central School and the Grand Union in Elizabethtown for letting me and the Cub Scouts use their space for the fundraiser; and my family for their support.

We collected over 10,000 bottles and raised $855 that went to the March2Recovery Foundation.

My family and I went on a road trip to Indiana to deliver the bottle money, bedding, tools, and tarps. They told me that 100-percent of the money will go to the towns to help those in need and to rebuild.

Lawrence Blake Lobdell Westport

Disagrees with editorial To the Valley News: Dear Editorial Staff: While I can appreciate that you have taken a stand on the Horace Nye Nursing Home Sale, you have failed to address the following areas while doing so.

In your decision to take the conservative road you have disregarded the fact that for years the Supervisors chose to ignore the escalating costs since 2001, ignore the recommendations of a study they paid taxpayer money to get. and waited until the issue became so urgent, that they acted reactively instead of proactively and decided to sell their problem away. My conclusion from your editorial is that you have not looked into the future to determine the needs of the aging population in this County. But then I guess that a conservative Editorial Board such as yourselves is all about less government. Good for you that you have the income to support all your needs and your children or grandchildren don't need public education and you can afford private education, you have your computers and don't need libraries that receive government assistance, certainly don't need the Essex County Fair who receives County funding, you don't need public roads and highways, you attend church regularly and give such a healthy donation to do your Christian duty to take care of those in need if we were to go back to the church looking out for the needy and infirm instead of the government and taxpayers.

There is no doubt that the Horace Nye Home will be sold, but did you ask the Supervisors if they will put the money proc e e d s b a c k i n t o t h e re s e r v e f u n d s t h a t keep dwindling or will they use it for upper management raises or pet projects or will they stick to their conservative action and begin looking at all the non-essential elements of county funded government?

Posh from page 6

To the Valley News: U n f o r t u n a t e l y, I a m n o t v e r y g o o d about keeping up with school's budgeting process. Thank you to Mr. King for enlightening us.

I would have to agree with him on the generator. As for the library, I don't know enough to say.

My only thought is if we have extra money maybe we could look at alternat i v e h e a t s o u rc e s a s w e w a t c h f u e l o i l creep towards $4 per gallon. There was an article In Jan. 20 Press Republican about Malone Middle School putting in a woodpellet boiler and saving thousands of dollars on fuel oil cost They estimate that there $385,000 investment will pay for itself in 18 months.

An alternative heat source could also burn corn or grass pellets, all of which c o u l d b e p ro d u c e d l o c a l l y. T h i s w o u l d help keep our school taxes in check and our money local. As for the tuition it is my understanding that parents out of district have been notified that they may soon have to start paying. It is also my understanding that these students help with our state aid.

Paul Stephens Westport

criminalize the sale, use or possession of the substances.

These supervisors, serving on the county Criminal Justice committee, endorsed a law that had been drafted by county Attorney Martin Auffredou and county Administrator Paul Dusek. The law is to come before the full Board of Supervisors this next week, and it is expected to receive unanimous support.

We applaud their swift response. Kudos also go to Hogan and county Sheriff Bud York and his staff.

Drugs remain the No. 1 destructive force tearing apart families as well as prompting criminal behavior, including violent crimes.

There’s not only a high cost to society in deaths, injuries, mental health costs and crime, but the taxpayers pay exorbitant amounts to incarcerate, prosecute and rehabilitate the offenders.

It is vitally important to understand, however, that although we have apparently won an initial round in ridding our region of synthetic marijuana, the fight is far from over.

Although selling the substances is now subject to a civil penalty, possessing it or using it isn’t yet illegal, law enforcement officials have warned. People can merely cross state lines to obtain it.

More comprehensive legislation is needed to criminalize its distribution, sale, possession and use.

We strongly urge our counties to adopt such legislation as soon as possible, and we implore our state and national politicians to follow suit and not waste time in ridding our society of such harmful and toxic substances.

sons: We are a poor county, and most of our residents will be dependent on Medicare/Medicaid for their long term care needs. If they can't find a bed here, they could end up very far away from here. Albany County is proof of this, with many of their residents having to go out of state to find beds that accept Medicaid .

It was interesting to read the Editorials in both the Times of Ti and also the Valley News stating that it would be in the best interest of Essex County to sell the Horace Nye. How they made this determination I would like to know. What facts do they have to base this decision on? Have any of them ever had a family member in need of Nursing Home care? Have they ever been in the Horace Nye Home? Have they done any research pertaining to this critical decision other than reading the Board of Supervisors minutes?

Essex County has a budget that exceeds over 100 million dollars per year. Within this budget there are many programs that we the taxpayers support that are not man-

dated. Education, Public Safety, Jail, Office for the Aging, Fish Hatchery, Highways, Public Health, Mental Health, Arts, Cooperative Extension, Industrial Development, Libraries, Social Service Programs, and the list goes on and on! So out of this $100million plus budget, what does our County Manager recommends that we rid ourselves of The Horace Nye Home. Through the years this home has served thousands of residents of Essex County for one reason: It's is needed! This home costs the average taxpayer around $30.00 per year on their property tax bill. I as both a member of the Board of Supervisors, and also as a taxpayer feel that this is well worth the expense.

In closing, another quote from Abraham Lincoln, “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”

Essex County needs the Horace to remain public, and owned and supported by the residents of this county.

Sincerely, Tom Scozzafava Supervisor, Town of Moriah

T

his is in response to the recent Editorial “Horace Nye: It's time to sell” “I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.” - Abraham Lincoln The Horace Nye Home is in my opinion the most important asset that the taxpayers of Essex County own. This facility through the years has been the final resting place for many residents who also contributed taxes and played key roles within this county for many years. In my community alone I can think of seven current residents of the Horace Nye Home that were long time successful local business owners in the Town of Moriah. One would have to wonder where these individuals would now be if the Horace Nye Home were in private ownership.

The argument that the Private homes do not accept Medicaid or Medicare is not necessarily true. Many private homes do ac-

cept this method of payment. The real issue is what percentage of the occupants are on Medicare/Medicaid? Another issue is people that are in the “Medicaid Pending” status when trying to find a home for a loved one. Most private homes will accept you if you have enough funds to pay privately for six months. Some Nursing homes that are having no difficulty filling their beds require patients to be able to pay privately for a year or more.

Privately paying residents pay more for their care than Medicaid pays for the same care. This is the reason as to why “Private” run Nursing Homes can turn a profit, and Public Nursing Homes operate in the red.

It's very simple, if 90% of your residents (average for the Horace Nye) are Medicaid, your operation will not turn a profit. So what's the solution? Obviously you try to recruit as many “Private Pay” or insured residents as you can to fill the beds, as this is where they will make money.

Of course this creates a problem for the residents of this county for two basic rea-

t's amazing to see how much more advanced kids are than we were.

Take, for example my son and his friends.

Lawrence was recently watching television and saw some of the devastation that was happening in Indiana from a rash of tornadoes. He turned to his mother and said he wanted to help.

The way he helped was through Cub Scouts.

Lawrence went to the members of his Pack, 63, which is made up of kids from Westport and ElizabethtownLewis Central

by Keith Lobdell Schools, to put together a bottle drive fundraiser. They also collected linens and other items that were needed.

Lawrence spoke with members of the March2Recovery group, a coalition of non-profits and emergency agencies, to find out what they needed and how to help. Even though my wife and I serve as the assistant and Scoutmaster in the pack, we sat back and let him do the planning, which included using our church to make contacts with the group in Indiana.

On the final two Saturdays of March, Lawrence, members of the Cub Scouts and parents of Scouts spent four hours

Overall, they collected 10,000-plus bottles (a total of $855 in monetary and bottle donations) and 10 or so boxes of linens and other needed items.

After seeing the hard work that was put into the project, we felt that there was only one appropriate ending to the story, and that was to have Lawrence deliver the donations himself to Jeffersonville, Ind. On Wednesday, April 4, we piled into the van and headed out, reaching our destination mid-day. Once there, Lawrence was given a tour of the large warehouse being used as a headquarters for March2Recovery, followed by a trip to the organization’s meeting, where he presented the monetary donation to

them.

Lawrence got a chance to go into the town of Henryville, where he saw the tornado damage. Our "tour guide" took us to the center of the town and watched as workers were trying to put the high school back together after the tornado split the building in half.

He also saw the path of the tornado, where trees had been completely picked up and thrown back to the ground, houses with no roofs remaining or concrete blocks that used to be where houses were located. We were all amazed at how you could have two houses located next to each other: one completely destroyed and the next with what could be considered "minor" damage to the roof (no roof repair is minor, but at least the roof and the house were still standing).

Overall, it was an eye-opening trip for our entire family.

This was all done because a 9-year-old boy cared about something more than video games or what he needed in his life. He was then able to enlist the help of others who wanted to contribute. He had the support of his parents, his fellow Cub Scouts and his community. Most of all, he worked hard to accomplish the goals that he set out to attain. Lawrence far surpassed his original goal of $500.

Thank you to all who donated to this cause, and thanks to the Cub Scouts who worked hard to accomplish the goal.

And of course, to Lawrence, I am extremely proud of you. Great job.

ongratulations to Jerry Sherman, our former highway superintendent, on his much-deserved recognition by the town for 26 years of dedicated service. At the town board meeting on March 27, Supervisor Dan Connell presented Jerry with a certificate of appreciation from the town for all his hard work over the years, not least his leadership of the DPW from 2004 to 2011, when he retired for reasons of health.

Jerry's tenure at DPW came in a time of ever-shrinking budgets, and as superintendent he was adept at the difficult task of doing more with less. He kindly explained some of those challenges to me last year, when I asked him if I could ride with the plowtrucks a little, so that I could share the experience with readers of this column. He also took the time to give me a handy thumbnail sketch of the town's various pieces of equipment and the many responsibilities that the DPW shoulders.

Thanks for your generosity, Jerry, and for all your efforts on behalf of the community. May you enjoy a speedy journey back to

full health.

At the same town board meeting, former Westport resident Peter Gibbs, a civil engineer with Engineering Ventures out of Burlington, presented two possibilities for a new DPW building. Peter has been working for the town on a volunteer basis for almost a decade now, as the town board and other groups have struggled to find a way of coping with obsolete or dilapidated facilities such as the town shed, the firehouse, the school bus garage, and the town hall. He offered two main options for the DPW: either an entirely new stand-alone building up near the present salt storage shed, or an addition to the present building, to form a L. The board will continue to consider its options for the DPW, but for now they have moved to address the code violations that came in the wake of last year's ballot defeat (for the second time) of the proposed joint use municipal building, which would have consolidated all those facilities in one location. For more information, see the helpful article on p. 10 of last week's paper, which I used to write this column.

received an email from Chris Maron, Director of the CATs trail system reminding me that the end of this month is the deadline for the writing contest. You can find out all necessary information from their website at www.champlainareatrails.com. They are looking for essays from 900 to 1500 words. Within the piece should be a description the writer ’s experience hiking at least on e of the trails as well as commentary on three other landmarks around the area such as restaurants, mountains, lakes, historical locations and the like. The winning essay will receive $500 and the people’s choice winner will receive $250. Again more information and the location to submit the final essays is available online at the CATs website.

Mary from the village office reminded me that the Veteran’s Memorial now has the work done by Keeseville’s Danny Kaifetz partner of Adirondack Flagpoles on site. The engraved marker is now in place and the mock up is now on permanent display at the Keeseville Post Office. Later

this week I’m going to head down and view the park and give more details next week. The location of the Veteran’s Park right after the bridge has always been a very impressive and very tasteful sight. I look forward to seeing the new work.

The Laundromat on Front Street is open again on weekends and I see a lot of other work going on in several locations. A reminder as well that the Army Surplus is open on Saturdays temporarily with discounts on all merchandise while it lasts.

I’ve always been impressed with the offerings and quality at the store.

A reminder that the weather fire watch is still in effect and New York State has now issued a fire ban. There is to be no outside burning. With the mild winter and lack of snow and rain the ground is unusually dry and with higher winds normal of this time of year the chances of a fire growing and getting out of control is increased. Hold any burning until New York State lifts the ban.

Peaks for Pets' website, www.peaksforpets.org, allows you to sign up for a hike and request that family and friends sponsor you by making a donation in your name. People will be able to follow your progress, see your photos, and leave comments on a FaceBook blog. There is no limit to the number of hikes you can take, and you can take them anywhere in the world; not just in the Adirondacks. Why not check out the website today and plan your next out-

ing?

Our featured pet this week is Barney, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier-mix puppy who came into the shelter with his brothers Opie and Otis. From his enormous brown eyes to his brown-and white tail, Barney is an absolutely adorable dog. It's hard to meet his soulful gaze (which holds a twinkle of mischief) without cracking a smile. This outgoing fellow can't seem to get enough attention, whether it's playtime or just cuddling up with you and watching a good movie. Barney loves to snuggle and be held; however, based on the size of his paws we expect he will be quite the lap-full when he finishes growing! If you are looking for a puppy with plenty of personality, Barney is the fellow for you.

E

aster was well received here at the Allen home, from being able to enjoy all of the Church services offered and then be able to have most of my family here for Easter dinner. The children truly enjoy the Easter egg hunt for all that chocolate. I am hopeful that many in the community had the same joyful experience.

The town Highway Department also signals that spring is here when they come out and sweep and clean up the road ways, which they did this past week. This helps to remind us that it would be nice for all of us to clean up our lawn and yard areas, the many twigs and dead garden leftovers from last season. Hopeful you will remain mindful to check out the Adirondack Hardware Store and the Carriage House for the needed items to spruce up your outdoor areas, and take care of the needed spring repairs. I also discovered something new at the local Pharmacy; they have a new suggestion box seeking suggestions for our request of new items we would like to see them make available. Soon we will be seeing the return of our summer families and the need to open up their summer residents.

School spring break this past week and the senior class went on their annual class trip.

Congratulations to those of our community that continue to stay in good physical condition and run in area marathons. Plans are under way for some of the summer youth programs, the community five week youth program is seeking applications for the needed help at Noblewood Park. The annual Ecumenical Vacation Bible School will be held earlier this year, it will be the last week in June right after school gets out for summer vacation. They are also looking for volunteers to assist, if available contact your pastors. Billie West one of the craft volunteers is seeking the paper towel tubes for a project they will be making, you can drop them off at the Willsboro United Methodist church.

Role Models and Heroes

about openly. I can remember my mother saying that people did not speak about some things openly but rather in hushed tones.

Sometimes words like divorce or cancer would not be spoken but rather spelled out quietly. Famous athletes like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and A-Rod have all had their personal lives exposed in the media. People still respect what these famous athletes have done in their respective sports, just as was the case with Mantle.

Maybe the lesson for young people is that just because people are famous it doesn’t mean that they don’t do hurtful or thoughtless things. In this they may learn to forgive others around them, and more importantly themselves.

Perhaps athletes like Mantle were heroes; they captured the national imagination and spotlight for their athletic ability. If Mantle were here today, he might very well admonish kids not to look to him or other sports figures as heroes. Mantle, whose father was a hardworking, simple man that worked as a miner, was Mantles role model. Several times when Mantle was down and ready to quit professional baseball, he summoned his father, who inspired him to work harder and to stay in baseball. Mantle spoke with great pride and respect of his father and credited his father for much of his success.

Maybe it is alright for kids to see athletes, musicians, actors and other celebrities as heroes, but role models are more the people that are close to us. Our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles for instance.

The neighbor down the street who fought in the Viet Nam war and now delivers meals to shut in seniors. Members of the volunteer fire department and emergency squads.

Those who give their time to keep community organizations, churches, 4-H, youth organizations and senior citizen organizations going.

Are they perfect? no. However, role models do the right thing often. They do these things because they care and not because it will gain them an advantage. Role models often offer their help to people that really need it and often cannot return the favor.

Often they are not rich, famous or important by contemporary measures. Role models do good things even when no one is looking. Don’t be surprised if children are looking because they are and are looking to you as an adult in their lives to be a role model.

Remember, all kids count.

Y

oung children often see their parents as heroes as well as those that act as caretakers or as situational parents such as teachers, daycare providers and so on.

As children age; they may identify sports figures, actors, actresses or celebrities as heroes. Their heroes could range from professional KidsByCount wrestlers, snow Scot Hurlburt boarders, skate boarders or musicians. Sept. 11, 2001, helped a new generation of children to see firefighters, policemen and emergency medical responders as heroes.

In my youth, Mickey Mantle was a hero to millions of Americans. Mantle, from Spavinaw, Okla., rode a meteoric arc in his baseball career that seemed to identify and validate the, “American dream.” Before his knee injury, it was said that he could make first base faster than any other player. He was a devastating power hitter from both sides of the plate and played the game with great skill. He seemed to always be smiling that Hollywood perfect smile, full and glamorous. Locker-room interviews featured a shirtless Mantle, chiseled good looks and bristling muscles; an elite athlete.

Mantle was featured in hundreds of advertisements during and after his playing days.

Advertisements for cigarettes and cigars and one that featured a pill that would help people quit smoking. He was a spokesperson for a gun maker, baseball gloves, bats, shoes and beer.

Given the time and media technologies of the day, Mantle may have been bigger than Jeter, Jordan and A-Rod. He may have been bigger because people did not resent Mantle as they do some modern stars for the multimillion dollar contracts and rich advertisement deals that they enjoy.

The press loved Mantle too, and did not crucify him for his alleged alcohol abuse, womanizing and apparent abandonment of his role as a father of four children. Today, the media would not afford athletes, politicians, move stars or any famous person the protection that was afforded Mantle.

Maybe things like that were just not talked

Th e lack o f g reen ve ge ta ti o n, a bundance of available fuels such as dry grass and leaves, warm temperatures and wind make spring a high-risk season for wildfires. Debris burning accounted for about 36 percent of wildfires between 1985 and 2009, making it the largest single cause of wildfires in New York state. Forty-six percent of wildfires in the state happen between March 16 and May 14.

In 2009, New York toughened restrictions on open burning to reduce air pollutants and prevent wildfires. The burn ban regulation allows brush burning for most of the year in towns smaller than 20,000

According to a national drug store survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back to the market under the trade name ARTH ARREST and says it can relieve pain for millions.

ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, the ARTH ARREST formula is useful in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, tendonitis, and more.

Elizabethtown Social Center players set for annual play, ‘Footloose’

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Breaking all the laws against dancing and rock ’n’ roll, the Elizabethtown theater group will be gyrating and vocalizing songs from the 1980 and 2011 remake of the hit film, “Footloose,” with a diverse and compelling cast on April 19.

The Elizabethtown Social Center Community Theater Group will perform “Footloose” in the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School auditorium on April 19, 20 and 21 at 7 p.m. and on April 22 at 3 p.m.

“The audience should expect a very high energy show with great characters,” Director Susan Forney Hughes said.

The cast of 40 community members, including 25 student actors, have rehearsed their choreography and characters since beginning of January with Hughes, choreographer Karin DeMuro, and ELCSD music teacher as the play’s music director Kerry Mero. The play will also include a genuine church choir from the Elizabethtown United Church of Christ.

“Footloose” is set in the 1980s in rural America. The play follows the story of Ren McCormack, a teenager raised in Chicago, who moves with his mother to the small town of

The cast of “Footloose.”

Bomont. Soon after moving to Bomont, the rock ’n’ roll enthusiastic teenager discovers the laws of his new home for-

bid dancing and rock ’n’ roll music. He falls for the rebellious reverend’s daughter, Ariel, and stirs up the town’s unprogressive traditions and with the help of his friends brings the music back to life.

The lead actor, 19-yearold James Duprey, is a first-time addition to the Social Center cast.

Duprey comes from Au Sable Forks to Elizabethtown a few times a week to rehearse. Hughes said Duprey truly brings out the element of his character and brings something special to the play. 16year-old Katie Whittemore, who plays opposite Duprey as Ariel, is a six-time veteran actor with the group.

“She’s just lovely to watch on stage,” Hughes said. “The chemistry of the entire cast plays out very well on stage.”

Whittemore said the role of Ariel was an exciting part to play and it was easy to get into character.

“She’s (Ariel) kind of my alter ego, she’s a rebel child and I’m not,” Whittemore said. “It’s fun to branch out and be someone different.”

The diverse age of the cast also brings something for everyone for the performance.

“The great thing about having community members in the play is I’ve been able to cast appropriately, and that brings the story together,” Hughes said.

Hughes said the play will appeal to all generations. Audience members who saw the original 1980s film and were entertained by the songs “Footloose” and “Let’s Hear it For the Boy,” with stars Kevin Bacon and Sarah Jessica Parker and younger audience members who know the 2011 version with Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough will be entertained. DeMuro has been working with all the actors on the dances to bring the show to life with the signature music. ”It’s all very fast, rhythmic, music, we’re always asking the actors to push the tempo,” Hughes said.

Nathaniel Galeraigh of Keene Valley had been taking advantage of the warmer temperatures on March 21 and decided to fish on the Boquet River near the footbridge. While looking for an ideal spot to cast his line, he had discovered the bells in the along the edge of the river.

Town Supervisor Margaret Bartley said the bells had been discovered missing on March 16 by Jessica Darney Buehler and Meg Parker, both of Public health.

The cow bells, which had been placed along the footpath for visitors to ring as they walked through the park, had been stolen by vandals sometime between March 15 and 16. The vandals took the series of cowbells and had cut them from their stands.

Bartley invited Galeraigh, to a special ceremony at the Footbridge Park on April 6, to present him with the $100 reward check for bringing the bells back to the people of Elizabethtown. Trail frequenters Rita and Gary Mitchell were also present for the Reward ceremony.

After effects of Irene still being felt in Essex County Primary set for

By Katherine Clark presidential race KEENE — A little more than six months after Tropical Storm Irene hit the region, the impact on the residents is still coming to the surface.

The physical damage to homes and the countryside can be seen from the car on Route 9N or by taking a walk through the town of Keene in Essex County, but the emotional damage to residents can be harder to see. To help those suffering, Project Hope workers have been going door to door and want residents to know they are here to help.

Project Hope is a crisis counseling program created by New York state to help in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene. Services are provided through the Mental Health Association in Essex County Inc. This community‐based outreach program funded through the state Office of Mental Health is available free of charge to residents of Clinton and Essex counties who were impacted by Tropical Storm Irene.

On April 5, Project Hope Field Coordinator Mike Bigley visited Keene, Au Sable Forks, Plattsburgh, Altona, and surrounding area to hear from town supervisors, emergency officials, and highway departments their perspective on the current state of area residents and what can be done for those still suffering

as a result of Irene.

"Recovery is not over yet, if you were here on Aug. 28, you were impacted,” Steve Valley, director of Essex County Mental Health Services, said. “People here have constant reminders of Irene seeing the empty homes along Route 9 and from trying to clean up their own homes.”

Bigley said those in the North Country are strong, resilient, independent, proud people who have gone as long as possible without asking for help. One of the stressors for the area residents now find themselves needing services they have never needed before.

“We will continue to stay here for the folks who maybe thought they were doing well,” said Gretch Sando, program coordinator for Project Hope Clinton/Essex. “It may now be hitting them they need help, and that’s what we’re here for.”

Bigley said the offices are seeing 70 percent more people in need of services now than they did right after Irene hit the region on Aug. 28.

“The good news is people still made it and weren’t affected,” Bigley said. “The bad news is people (in the area) are still suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.”

Jay Town Supervisor Randy Douglas and Keene Town Supervisor Bill Ferebee shared their experiences during the tropical storm and said where the most need in their communities still lie.

“Our residents, their lives are turned upside down. They are still reaching out for help,” Douglas said.

The program will run at least through the one-year anniversary of Irene. Ferebee said he hopes anyone out there in need of the services offered takes advantage of the assistance.

“We have a strong community and no one wants to ask for help its just the way they are they’re tough,” Ferebee said. “If you see someone who needs assistance, let us know and we’ll try to help them.”

Throughout the North Country, Irene affected parts of the region differently. Within a 20-mile area, Sando said one place could be completely untouched while farther down the road the area is devastated.

“My concern is if you live in the area that didn’t experience or sustain any damage, they can’t understand,” Sando said. “It’s not over.

There are still people who are displaced and there are still people who have lost all their belongings and there are emotional impacts that are ongoing, and we will continue to be here and help those people in any way we can.”

Project Hope will continue to go door to door and hold informational meetings for the public until after the one year anniversary of Irene. For more information on the upcoming events, visit online at ProjectHope.org or call 524-9616.

Assembly race

Wood out

Continued from page 1

Wood sent a notice April 3 to the Warren County Republican chairman officially declaring that she’d dropped out of the race.

The momentum of Stec’s candidacy and a variety of other factors, she said, prompted her to withdraw her candidacy.

Stec has been in public office for 16 years, compared to 15 months for Wood, who had run based on her deep local heritage and experience with Adirondack issues. She lives on a farm that has been worked by her family since the late 1700s, prior to the formation of Warren County.

She said she hopes that the successful candidate for the Assembly seat fully under-

stands the concerns of Adirondackers and the hardships they endure.

"I hope that the next Assembly representative concentrates on the pressing issues here in the Adirondacks, like broadband access, job development, economic prosperity, and keeping our sons and daughters from leaving the area," she said April 3. "It is important to area families that their youth are able to stay here, work at good jobs, and are able to raise their families here."

Wood said that she is not ready to endorse any other candidate at this time, but may do so later on. She added that she hasn't lost interest in statewide political service.

"I will be keeping my eye on higher public offices in the future," she said.

“I have every confidence that he will carry on the important fight for families across Essex, Saratoga, Warren and Washington counties to ensure Albany remains responsive to our community’s needs,” Sayward said. “He knows the issues, knows our region, and knows how crucial it is that our next assembly member be a strong, passionate and outspoken advocate for North Country families.”

Stec has picked up his party’s backing in each of the four counties represented by the new 114th, as well as several Conservative party endorsements.

ELIZABETHTOWN — New York is on deck when it comes to the Republican Presidential Primary.

Essex County Board of Elections GOP Commissioner Derinda Sherman said that the board is working to get the word out about the primary, which is scheduled to take place Tuesday, April 24.

"We have noticed a drop in the number of absentee voters, and we honestly believe that it is because people do not realize that the primary is coming up," Sherman said.

The April 24 Republican Primary will be held from noon to 9 p.m. and will be open to all registered Republican voters. Candidates include Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum.

Sherman also said that the board is preparing for two more primaries this year, the first on June 26 for federal offices, with the second on Sept. 11 for state and county offices.

Sherman said that the latter two were unable to come together to be held on the same date, which is a concern from a budget standpoint.

"It will cost just short of $40,000 if we were to have a countywide primary in September," Sherman said. "The two were supposed to work out a way to be held on the same date, and it never came to be. Every county in the state is in the same boat because everyone thought these two elections would be held together."

Sherman said that it appears that there will be a Republican primary in the congressional race in June.

As for September, Warren County board of Supervisors Chairman Dan Stec of Queensbury and former Glens Falls Mayor Bob Regan, both Republicans, are seeking to fill what will be the 114th State Assembly seat, currently held by Teresa Sayward.

Church breaks ground for expansion project on Easter Sunday Westport Bible Church begins rectory addition

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com WESTPORT — The Westport Bible Church broke ground on Easter Sunday, April 8, beginning construction on an addition to the church’s rectory.

The church will undergo a 2,300-squarefoot addition to the current rectory, which Pastor Dick Hoff said will allow his large congregation to come together as a family for one service every Sunday.

“When I began as pastor here, we had a congregation of 12,” Hoff said. “Over the years. our congregation has grown to over 100.”

Due to the large size of his congregation and the limited space in the current rectory,

Hoff said. “A church isn’t a building; it’s the congregation, and that’s why we want everyone together.”

Construction to the rectory will include two additions being built off the north and the east side of the building. Hoff said the church hopes construction will be completed by the fall. During Members of the congregation hold a ceremonial ground-breaking ceremo- construction, the congreny on April 8. gation will continue to meet at the church.

ECH, auxiliary scholarships set

WESTPORT — Champlain Area Trails (CATS) is holding two Earth Day Projects on Saturday, April 21 and invites everyone to participate. The morning project starts at 9 a.m. at the Cheney Mountain Trail in Moriah and the afternoon project begins at 1 p.m. at the new Woods and Swale Trail in Westport.

“We want to showcase these two new trails,” Chris Maron, Executive Director of CATS, said.

“We want to provide opportunities for people to take part in Earth Day. At Cheney Mountain, we’ll clean up the trailhead area before hiking to see the great views. And in the afternoon, we’ll venture out on the Woods and Swale Trail and clean up litter as we return to the trailhead along Sherman Road.”

“The projects are open to everybody of all ages,” Sheri Amsel, a CATS board member and outdoor educator, said. “We like to have children see nature’s wonders and show us the things we adults overlook. And these projects allow people to share knowledge and experiences about nature that they have picked up over the years.”

The Town of Moriah and Champlain Area

Trails (CATS) have partnered to create the Cheney Mountain Trail. It starts by the former landfill on Pelfershire Road and follows an old logging road to the summit. The Woods and Swale Trail is on land owned by the Lee Trust at the intersection of Lakeshore Road and Sherman Road just north of Westport. Both trails are moderately easy with some short steep areas.

“Trails are an important part of the effort to enhance the local economy,” Tim Garrison of the Moriah Community Economic Development Group (MCEDGe) said. “We are pleased that Cheney Mountain has become an attractive trail for residents and tourists.”

The Cheney Mountain Trail Day will be from 9 a.m. until noon. People should meet on Pelfershire Road, about 1.4 miles west of Rt. 22/9N. The Woods and Swale Trail Project is from 1 to 3:30 p.m. People should meet at the intersection of Lakeshore and Sherman Road about a half mile north of the boat launch in Westport.

For more details, go to www.champlainareatrails.come, call 962-2287 or email champlaintrails@gmail.com.

The addition will also expand the basement to have more room to construct three offices and a larger gathering area to hold youth group meetings and dinner gatherings.

Church officials have collected donations from parishioners over the past four years for the building project.

“We’re not going into debt for this,” Hoff said. “We have not had a mortgage since I started here, and we don’t plan on getting one for this project. We want to pay this project off as we go.”

Westport Bible Church Trustee John Anderson said he views the expansion of his church as an uplifting sentiment when compared to the downsizing of other congregations.

“We’re very proud of what we’re doing here and hope it will allow the congregation to become stronger,” Anderson said.

E L I Z A B E T H TO W N — E l i z a b e t h t o w n Community Hospital and its auxiliary are offering scholarships for the 2012-13 academic year, aimed at students planning a career in health care.

The Holly Estus Memorial Scholarship for Nursing was created in memory of a dedicated young nurse who worked at Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

This year, the fund will award $500 to a student enrolled in a nursing program.

Applicants must reside within the Elizab e t h t o w n , K e e n e , M o r i a h , We s t p o r t , Willsboro, or AuSable Valley school district in order to be eligible.

The Elizabethtown Community Hospital Auxiliary Scholarship benefits those p u r s u i n g o r f u r t h e r i n g a c a re e r i n t h e healthcare field. Applicants must be an employee of ECH, a child or parent of an ECH employee, an ECH volunteer, an employee at Horace Nye Home or the Keene Valley Neighborhood House. This year, two scholarships of $500 each will be awarded.

Scholarship applications may be downloaded from the hospital’s Web site at www.ech.org or by visiting the hospit a l ’ s c o m m u n i t y re l a t i o n s o ff i c e . L o c a l guidance counselors have also received copies of the applications. Applications must be submitted by May 31.

Kiwanis holds pancake breakfast ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown Kiwanis Second Annual Pancake Breakfast was held on Sunday, March 25 at the Deer's Head Inn. A total of 92 people were served, which is almost double last year's breakfast.

By working together, the Deer's Head Inn and Kiwanis members raised $1,000 for the Community Food Shelf. The food buying power of that donation will go a long way to serving families in our community. The Kiwanis Club thanks the Deer's Head staff for cooking, Claude Turner for his donation of maple syrup and the Kiwanians who served the delicious food and cleaned up afterwards.

The trout whereabouts

D

ue to summer-like weather patterns that had arrived by the early spring, this year ’s trout season has been greatly accelerated.

Matters have been further complicated by the lack of any significant winter snowpack, which traditionally has remained intact in the surrounding mountains until late May. As a result of the season’s diminished snowpack, most area rivers are currently flowing at mid-summer levels. The traditional spring runoff never materialized, and as a result, there were no spring floods. Water levels remain low even on the local lakes and ponds.

Most rivers and streams are now running gin clear, with water temperatures nearly a month beyond average.

Over the weekend, I recorded water temperatures in the mid 40’s on the ponds. It was an astounding discovery for the first week of April.

As water temperatures increase, the percentage of dissolved oxygen in the water will decrease. This spells trouble for trout, salmon and a host of other cold-water species that require cold, clean and highly oxygenated waters.

Coldwater species become lethargic and stressed in warm, oxygen poor waters.

I expect trout and salmon will also be stressed by the low water levels and the startling water clarity. In such conditions, the advantage will shift firmly in favor of winged predators such as heron, osprey, kingfisher, and cormorants.

It certainly has been a strange start to the season. By mid March, the majority of local lakes and ponds had already begun to shed their ice cover.

Most area ponds were ice free nearly a week before the beginning of the annual trout season, on April 1. I received reports of paddlers enjoying the open ponds as early as March 21.

Anglers were fishing the ponds on Opening Day, and for many, it was a ‘first in a lifetime event’. I regret that it may not be such an unusual event in future years.

Angling Advice According to the majority of reports that I’ve received recently, angling opportunities have been outstanding to

date. It appears the smaller, shallower ponds have been producing quite well, although water temperatures seem to be a bit colder still, on the deeper ponds and lakes.

Brook trout, browns and salmon have been particularly active, while lake trout have been rather slow on the take to date. However, with a change of just a few degrees in water temperatures, lakers may soon turn on.

Recent reports also reveal that the annual smelt run has begun, which appears to be on track following the full moon, which occurred on Friday, April 6. Trout and salmon will now be actively feeding in and around the inlets and tributaries of the lakes and ponds, over the course of the next week or so.

Stocking trucks have already delivered a healthy dose of trout to most of the area’s streams and rivers, from both the Essex County Hatchery, and state hatcheries.

It will take stocked trout a while to adjust to their new surroundings, and anglers should allow them opportunities to disperse and become acclimatized.

In the smaller streams and mountain brooks, native brook trout are still in their winter mode. They will be slow to react to offerings, and likely sheltered among the rocks and under the overhanging trees.

On the rivers, anglers will find the best action in the deeper pools or at the base of falls or dams, where air temperatures will have a greater effect on water temperatures.

Think like a fish, or more specifically, think like a fish that is looking for food to survive. Look around, be observant and see what’s going on. Are there flies in the air, or schools of minnows in the shallows? On the streams, seek out areas that provide both food and shelter, and you’ll find the fish.

As a result of last year ’s floods, most of the local rivers and streams still have large accumulations of debris and logjams. These are excellent holding areas for trout.

Go where the people aren’t! Large fish are easily spooked, so try to maintain a low profile to avoid spooking the fish. Watch your shadows, and be careful of disturbing rocks or downed trees in or near the water. Fish will pick up on the vibrations and spook easily.

If you do spook them, rest the pool and try again in about 20 minutes, fish have short memories. On the ponds, avoid banging or bouncing around in the boat/canoe, minimize oar splash and be sure to wear your PFD; it’s now the law.

Always cast to a pool from further away then you think is necessary, and try to be accurate. There is nothing more frustrating than getting hung up on the first cast and ruin-

ing a potentially productive toss.

Don’t just reel in your fly or lure, vary the retrieve and change the speed and depth. Twitch the offering to give it an erratic motion. If it isn’t working, change lures. Experiment, and figure out a way to trigger their strike response.

Most of all, take your time, relax and have some fun, fishing is not supposed to be a chore. It is not intended to be a contest between anyone but the angler and the fish.

And be sure and take a friend, or a kid along with you.

Angling adventures are more enjoyable if they are shared, and the stories are more likely to be believable.

Keeseville Veteran’s Park now home to military service Honor Roll wall

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — There is a new sign welcoming home those who return from military service.

On March 24, several gathered to mark the creation of the Keeseville Honor Roll sign, which will list the names of soldiers who have recently returned from active duty tours or completed their time in service to the country.

“Whenever someone comes home from deployment or has been discharged from service, the village will be able to make signs with their names and hang them on the Honor Roll,” Danny Kaifetz of Adirondack Flag Poles, who created the sign, said.

The sign was donated to the village thanks to sponsorships by the Keeseville VFW, Elks and Knights of Columbus branches.

“I got the idea from a sign that they have in the town of Colonie,” Kaifetz said. “We were able to get the three organizations to fund the sign at no cost to the village.”

“The organizations of our community that pulled together to provide this sign shows the level of community spirit in Keeseville and the honor that we have for our veterans,” Gerald Morrow, Chesterfield supervisor, said. “The three municipalities (Keeseville, Chesterfield and Ausable) providing the names of returning members of our Armed Forces shows how

proud we are to support our military and our veterans.”

Kaifetz said families of those serving can call the village office upon the return of the soldier with the name, rank and branch of service along with any decorations the soldier may have received while on-duty.

There is also a half-scale version of a sign in the Keeseville post office. Both were modeled after a sign that was dedicated in the town of Keeseville in 1942.

“There were roughly 5,000 people who attended that ceremony, which was described as the largest in the region,” Kaifetz said. “It was an honor roll that was hurt and fell into the river at one point.”

Kaifetz said the idea to recreate the sign on a smaller version came when the village dedicated the centerpiece of the Veteran’s Park in the hamlet, a granite statue that was commissioned

by George Moore.

“He was talking about the sign and how he wished there would be another,” Kaifetz said.

“That gave me the idea to do something nice to add to the park.”

Kaifetz said there are also plans for a granite roll call wall in the area.

“You will then have the wall, the statue, the flag and the Honor Roll sign,” he said.

Kaifetz said the welcome home sign may also be used as locals enlist and as a memorial for those who fall in combat.

“We have not had to use that yet, and we hope we never will,” he said.

Any member of the Armed Forces returning from active duty who lives in the towns of Ausable or Chesterfield, which includes the village of Keeseville, can have their name displayed on the new sign.

Family members can contact Keeseville village clerk Lynn Hathaway at 834-9059 or through e-mail at vclerk@villageofkeeseville.us. People are asked to provide the name, rank, branch of service and date returning home. There will be no charge for the service.

Danny Kaifetz explains the history of an honor roll wall in Keeseville. The former wall is featured on the back of the new Honor Roll, which will welcome home veterans returning from service.

AUSABLE VALLEY PATRIOTS The roster:

Patriot golf

expect to see mistakes early in the season but as the season progresses, we will work through those and be competitive. Alexis Facteau and Emily Plumadore are excellent fielders with strong bats. Logan Snow and Miranda Sheffer have been very impressive in their new roles. The outfield will be strong with Jessica Baker, Sumra Sikandar, Marissa Prentiss, Ashley Bonilla and Cassie Walker - they all have good arms and speed.

Pitching will be our strength this year, as Christine Darrah is a strong pitcher who has a wide variety of pitches and freshman Madison Rondeau is a very fast pitcher with a variety of pitches. Samantha Vallieres is a solid batter and will be behind the plate.

These girls have a lot of potential, they just need time to mold as a team. We have great senior leadership that will help us accomplish that and our goal is to get stronger as the season progresses and compete for a title.” - Head coaches Marty Snow and Doug Rondeau.

The Patriots golf team will be led by senior Section VII champion John Hickey, along with classmates Jacquie Hoey and Colin Pope; junior Nate Casey and Ridge Perkett; freshmen Ian Rennie, Riley Taylor, Dillon Drolette, Tyler Rivers and Dustin Drake; eighth graders Cole Baer, Harrison Blaise, Nate Devins, Lucas Finnegan, Alex Knapp, Chris Hickey and Noah Martineau; along with seventh graders Chris Yaeger, Austin Smith and Edwin Hetfield.

What the coach says:

“For the past three years Au Sable Valley golf had a record of 24 wins and only six losses. Half of the team responsible for that record graduated last year, and now the Patriots will have to rely on some young players to step up. The team does have two players left who had a hand in all those victories, led by senior John Hickey. Hickey is a threetime state qualifier, and the defending sectional champion. Senior Jacquie Hoey who has been in the top eight since seventh grade, and compiled a 7-3 match record last year will hold down a starting spot. Competing for the other four starting spots will be returning players Colin Pope (12), Nate Casey (11), Ian Rennie (9), Riley Tayler (9), Nate Devins (8), and Chris Hickey (8). Newcomer, Ridge Perkett (11) is also competing for a top spot.

“This year ’s team has a wide range of talent and each individual will set personal goals to try to attain by the end of the season. It is hoped that all golfers will improve

John Hickey was the Section VII champ in 2011. to make us a better team come sectionals.

Unlike the last few years when the team competed with front runners PHS and Saranac Lake,(who should again be the top teams), this team’s goal will be to try to finish above .500 and improve for future success.” - head coach Chris Dubay.

ELIZABETHTOWN-LEWIS LIONS The roster:

Lions baseball

The Lions will take to the field in 2012 with a roster that includes seniors Spencer Crowningshield, Ezekiel Diemand, Brad Egglefield, Zach LaPier, Tim LaRock, Andy Mitchell, Hunter Mowery, Patrick Phillips, Nate Rock and Joe Sullivan; junior Cody Gowdy and sophomores Nate Bessette, Owen Denton, Hugh Harwood, Justin LaPier and Austin Morris.

What the coach says:

“The Lions did not lose any players to graduation and are returning a core group of players as well as welcoming four new players. The Lions will also get back senior Hunter Mowery returning to the field after a year off. The roster is heavily a senior based team but the Lions will be looking for the underclassmen to step up and challenge for starting spots in the lineup. The team is looking to play competitively with every team. Playing smart baseball and cutting down on giving other teams extra outs are two main goals the Lions have this year.” - head coach Colby Pulsifer.

ELCS catcher Jenn McGinn

The Lady Lions will look to return to the Section VII/Class D finals with a roster that includes Kaylee Cross, Kylee Cassavaugh, Jessica Spaulding, Sierra Wimett, Clare Harwood, Kaitlin Coats, Emily Morris, Crystal Grady, Jasmine Barnes, Kearstin Ashline, Andrea Le Vien, Cheyenne Sousis, Jenn McGinn and Shonna Brooks.

cipline. We return the last two Division I MVP’s in Andrea Le Vien and Kylee Cassavaugh. I am expecting big things from Kearstin Ashline as well as Jen McGinn. Emily Morris has improved each year she has played and looks to build on her success from last year. Jasmine Barnes could become a very valuable asset as she gets comfortable playing varsity, she’s fast and coachable. Shonna Brooks is also looking good, she hasn’t played softball in three years, but is coming around.

“We will be competitive in our conference with eight returning starters. With good pitching and defense we should be fine as long as we keep our focus.” - head coach Jim Monty.

Eagles baseball

Valley News - 21

WESTPORT EAGLES therefore that will dictate how well we will do.” - head coach Don Markwica.

The roster:

Back to being the Eagles, the now-solo Westport varsity baseball team will field a roster that includes seniors Ethan Markwica and Cooper Sayward; juniors Gabe Schrauf and Garrett Reynolds; sophomores James Stone, Ryan Davis, John Doyle, Tyrell Tryon and Lloyd Staats; freshmen Domenic Banish and Aaron Schrauf; and eighth grader Sam Napper.

What the coach says:

“Keene will not be merging with us this year so we are back as the Westport Eagles.

Graduation hit us hard and we have two returning starters so our focus is on re-grouping and getting our players ready for varsity level competition. The rest or our roster will be filled with players with little or no varsity experience.

“Ethan Markwica and Cooper Sayward are my seniors and anchor my starting pitching staff along with freshman Domenic Banish and eighth grader Sam Napper. Our offense will not feature the power of the old Westport-Keene offense, but I look for our re-vamped lineup to push across a few runs per game. Even though we are young and inexperienced we are working hard and the desire to succeed is pushing this team beyond my early expectations and because of this I can see a lot of potential and believe we can be competitive in the league. But as everyone knows, success in baseball at any level depends on pitching and defense and

The main strength on our team is the fact that the players love being around each other and have fun.

What the coaches say:

“The girls track team is looking to build off of their 61 season last year. The team had a very successful indoor track season and look to have it carry over to the outdoor season. The girls have a young team with only two seniors. It may take a while to figure out what events the girls will run. Depth may be an issue in the bigger meets.

The main goal is to win the sectionals as always. We will concentrate on the dual meets first. Team building is also a goal of the girls and they realize it builds success.” girls coach Peter Frenette.

“Very good group of athletes. Very fun to be around, very fun to coach and they have a great work ethic. Excited to be outside on the track already and we look forward to a competitive and productive season. Team hopes to have consistent shot putt throws in the 40’ range with Lucas Atkinson and Kyle McGrain. Their experience will help newcomers Ethan Corliss and Cody Gates as they begin throwing career. Joe Cross is also new to the team this year and will be throwing. Jamal Tuthill may throw disc occasionally. Craig Leahy should have a strong year in the 400 hurdles. It is a tough event and he has the necessary mindset to be competitive. Freshmen Chris Schneider and Matt Adams, along with Will Lanthier will do the bulk of our distance running. Newcomer, senior Antonio Lascavio also looks promising. Jamal Tuthill will be a force in the 800. Have a very strong group of sprinters: Alex Beaudoin, Ethan Barge, Ben Monty, Mike Tuthill and Cole Hyde. Very strong runners for the 4X100, 100 and 200. Craig Leahy and Jamal Tuthill will also help in the 400. Very excited to see how eighth grader Josh Karp performs, looks promising.” - boys coach Nicholas Pepe.

“We are very excited this year. Great attitudes are feeding off one another. We’ve already encountered some personal

We have Tana Morgan returning this season as our lady golfer and we are looking to see her improve on last season. She will be joined

They will lead fresh faces like Ben Ford and Brandon Ruocco on the distance team and Elijah Fitzgerald on the throws.

The roster:

The Lady Blue Bombers will enter the 2012 track and field season with a roster that includes Nina Armstrong, Rachael Ashley, Adela Burka, Kate Gallagher, Carleigh Garrett, Jillian Goulette, Kendra Manning, Sage Miller, Briana Munoz, Esther Munoz and Molly Smith.

The boys roster includes Corey Detwiler, Connor Garrett, Trevor Knapp, Andrew Meister, Curtis Rissberger, Elias Smith, Haile Thompson and Hunter Wilson.

What the coaches say:

“The Lake Placid team is small and allows for more individualized coaching.

We are new to coaching track and field,

but have years of experience in coaching running in addition to experience in track and field competitions themselves. The team has been working hard in pre-season to get ready for a successful season. There are multiple returning athletes who have strong work ethics and have been leading the team. These athletes include Elias Smith, Andrew Meister, Curtis Rissberger, Connor Garrett, Molly Smith, Kate Gallagher, Esther Munoz, Bri Munoz and Rachael Ashley. Other athletes had to join later in the pre-season due to conflict with the school play – but are working hard to build a strong base and prepare for competition. We have a strong team in all distances on the track, in addition to depth in our girl’s mid- distance relay event. The team has strength in the jumping field events.” - Coaches Bill and Mel Frazer.

TUPPER LAKE LUMBERJACKS

Lumberjack track and field

The roster:

The Lumberjacks boys track and field roster will include seniors Randy Charland.

Bryan Geiger, Jeffrey Hurteau and Chad Williams, along with sophomore Blair Boyer and freshmen Grayson Klossner, Cameron LaMare, Daniel Shaheen and Jason Wood.

The Lady Lumberjacks will include senior Kristin Bickford; juniors Hannah Klossner and Samantha Ormsby; sophomores Nicole Charland and Mikayla Nixon; freshmen Ashleigh Boyea, Emily Godin, Klarisa Hoyt and Lindsey Maroun; eighth graders Devon Beaudette and Miranda Vaillancourt; and seventh grader Tess Klossner.

What the coach says:

“The Tupper boys’ team has grown since last year. We have a good group this year that is still a little shy on numbers but not in variety. The boys can cover most events but we will obviously be focusing on individual success rather than team results. Our strengths will be in the hurdles, sprints and

middle distance events.

“One of the boys to watch will be senior co-captain Bryan Geiger. He is a pentathlete and a potential in the steeplechase. He excels in the 110 hurdles and 1500m. His other events are improving greatly so we expect to see him in a variety of events during the dual meet season. We are also welcoming back seniors Randy Charland (co-captain), Chad Williams and Sophomore Blair Boyer.

Newcomers include Jeff Hurteau (12), Grayson Klossner (9), Cameron LaMare (9), DJ Shaheen (9), and Jason Wood (9). We won’t measure success by the league record because of our lack of depth to fill six scoring places in dual meets. Our focus for success will be measured by personal improvement and reaching our peak for sectionals and states.

“For the girls, again this year we have a small squad with pretty good talent but the graduation of Kyla Kenyon, Amanda Moeller and Becky Dukett, is a huge deficit to make up. Our girls are dedicated and working hard to meet the challenge. We should be competitive in the jumps, sprints,

throws and hurdles and are working hard to fill the gaps in the distance and relay events.

We welcome back team co-captains, senior Kristin Bickford and junior Hannah Klossner along with Lindsey Maroun (9), and Samantha Ormsby (11). Newcomers are Devon Beaudette (8), Ashleigh Boyea (9), Nicole Charland (10), Emily Godin (9), Klarissa Hoyt (9), Tess Klossner (7), Mikayla Nixon (10), and Miranda Vaillancourt (8).

“We know what to expect from our veterans, Kristin, Hannah, Lindsey, and Samantha so our overall success this year will really depend on our newcomers. We have a solid group of very hard working athletes this year and that’s a huge part in the formula for success.” - head coach Gordie Duval.

Lady Red Storm softball

The roster:

The Lady Red Storm will start the 2012 season with a roster that includes seniors Chelsea LaFountain, Christina Rabideau and Gabby Lewis: along with juniors Brittany Tschirhart, Jen McGuoirk, Jordynne McDougall, Megan Kilroy, Megan Moody, Nicole Viscardo, Shannon Stevens, Sierra Nye and Sydney Battistoni.

What the coach says:

“We will have something that they have not seen in many years, as the Red Storm will have four pitchers in juniors Nicole Viscardo, Brittany Tschirhart, Jordy McDougall and Megan Kilroy. We only lost two seniors last year and the entire infield is returning.

The only two positions we needed to fill were left and right field. We hope to improve on last season’s 9-7 record. I think that this is attainable given the number of returning players and the new additions.” - Head coach Diana Schwartz.
