With budget increase looming, Essex County mulls sales tax hike

By Matt Bosley

matt@denpubs.com

A Walk to

Remember Hundreds raised last Saturday in Elizabethtown during annual walk in memory of Nate Hammond.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Faced with dire projections for their 2011 budget, Essex County officials are already considering an increase to the sales tax.

Jay Supervisor and Board of Supervisors Chair Randy Douglas introduced a resolution at the Essex County Ways and Means Committee meeting April 26 that would allow the county to apply for a quarter-percent increase in its sales tax rate.

Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston had suggested the increase a week prior after County Manager Dan Palmer predicted as much as a 30 percent increase in the property tax levy if ...See County Tax on page 8

Teachers bear school budget burdens

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com Significant losses in state aid are forcing many local school districts to make tough decisions as they struggle to keep tax levies down.

The pain is being felt at varying levels as some districts have benefitted from productive communication with their employees about appropriate salary and benefit increases, while others have opted to lay off numerous staff in an effort to cut costs.

Lake Placid Lake Placid Central School District is one case where teacher concessions limited the elimination of instructional staff.

There, the tax levy will rise 3.45 percent to help pay for $13,302,888 of a budget totalling just over $16 million, a 1.54 percent increase.

The rate per thousand is expected to increase from $5.75 to $5.94.

“The administration, school board, and employee union worked together to make some changes in contractual language, which helped us to keep the tax levy down,” said interim superintendent Ernie Witkowski.

The concessions come in tandem with the elimination of 14 positions, the majority of them being retiring instructional staff. One administrative position was cut, as well as two CSEAmember staff.

“We offered a retirement benefit package to many of our employees,” Witkowski explained, “and many of them took it.”

The cuts will help offset the loss of about $200,000 in state aid as well as the continually rising costs of employee wages and benefits, materials, fuel, and other operating expenses.

“We still believe that we can maintain a high quality of education for our students,” Witkowski said.

Though enrollment numbers for next year have yet to be finalized, Witkowski said they are expected to decline from the current number of 714 to about 700.

Two public hearings are scheduled for the proposed budget: May 4 at the Wilmington Town Hall and May 11 at the Lake Placid Middle/High School Administrative Service Building. Both begin at 7 p.m.

Voting on the budget will take place May 18 from 2-9 p.m. with polling places at the Wilmington Town Hall and Lake Placid Elementary School.

Saranac Lake Concessions by faculty and staff played a big role in the Saranac Lake Central School District as well. There, the tax levy will rise 2.95 percent to $17,944,584 under the proposed 2010-2011 budget. Overall expenditures are set to increase $283,879 to a little more than $27 million, a 1.06 percent rise.

“We did have some salary concessions from union membership recently that helped us get down to that tax levy,” said the school’s assistant superintendent for business, Dan Bower.

Teachers and administrators belonging to unions agreed to give up more than half of their planned 3.95 percent raises for the coming year,

settling instead for a 1.95 percent raise. The result is a $280,000 savings for the district, Bower said. No changes to agreements with CSEA employees have taken place, however.

Bower said the tax levy increase was primarily a result of the reduction in state aid, a $805,000 hit to the district. While the district has kept its levy at a zero increase the past two years, he added, the loss of that aid caused the need for some increase.

Still, the district is proud that it was able to limit that increase, Bower said, “and still offer the same level of education to the students.”

A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for May 11, 7 p.m. in the Petrova School Library.

Polls will be open 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. May 18 in the high school auditorium.

Elizabethtown Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School District, for better or worse, is the only district in the region proposing a budget that aims for a zeropercent increase in the tax levy.

As it stands, the district is set to lose $391,338 in state aid. The proposed 2010-2011 budget would at least partially counteract that with a $95,032 decrease in expenditures from last year’s $7.6 million budget, a 1.25 percent decrease.

The tax levy will remain level at $3,128,903, preventing any increase to the current tax rate of $12.28 per thousand, which is $1.60 higher for district residents in the town of Chesterfield.

“There is no change to our tax levy because the Board of Education understands the critical nature of our current economy,” said superintendent Gail Else. “We continue to offer a quality, effective educational program for our students and cost efficiencies for our tax payers.”

To contain costs, the proposed budget includes reducing one foreign language teacher position to half-time. Salaries and wages for most administrative and support staff are frozen at their current levels.

“Due to smaller elementary enrollment, we are reducing four elementary teacher positions, resulting in an average class size of 19 students for next year,” said Else.

A public hearing on the proposed budget is scheduled for Tuesday, May 11, 7:30 p.m. in the school conference room. Polls will be open May 18 from noon to 8 p.m.

Willsboro Willsboro Central School is another district where there will be relatively marginal changes to the tax levy. The district’s proposed overall budget of $7.93 million is $38,611 less than last year, offsetting part of an approximate $130,000 loss in state aid.

The result is a tax levy of nearly $4.8 million, up $85,682 from last year. That equates to a projected 21 cent rise in the rate per thousand to $11.06.

“Reduction in State Aid is the major factor in this year ’s tax levy,” said superintendent Steve Broadwell. “We will be using money from our reserves to offset the decrease in State aid.”

In addition, the school will be cutting

ave you visited the NCSPCA website recently? It's worth a quick trip to www.ncspca.org to check out the latest news. In addition to having lots of information about pets who are seeking forever homes, adoption policies, and general information, we have a section entitled "Sucess Stories" that is sure to warm your heart.

On our Success Stories page, you will learn about some of the animals who have come to us - some with disabilities, some from abusive environments, others just unlucky enough to have no home - and who have been, happily, adopted and now living in loving homes. You will learn of Shadow, a German Shepherd mix who spent most of his life locked away without human contact and who is now flourishing in his new home. You will read about Nicholas, a perky and very happy fellow despite his deafness and heart condition, This page is definitely worth checking out.

Our featured pet today is Sprinkles, a brown tabby Domestic Shorthair-mix. She is a loquacious young lady who likes to tell

you all about her day, and expects you to listen!

When she has finished her monologue, she likes to have her chin and ears scratched.

Once she has her say and Sprinkles settles down for some pampering, she likes to hear what's on your mind as well. She may have a few things to add and then you can both settle into a quiet evening and relax.

Now is a great time to stop by the shelter and see what's new. Spring always brings plenty of puppies and kittens, as well as furry friends who are all-grown-up and hoping your spring cleaning makes room for them in your home!

I’m leading a crew of enumerators and, in preparation, I spent a day learning how to fingerprint. We fingerprint new employees using the old inkpad and paper form. You have to aim the finger directly into the center of each box on the form, and they are small and hard to hit. If a bit of stray ink gets on the form, you have to start over. There are more modern ways to fingerprint, but one of the charms of census work is the reliance on simple technologies.

I’ll have a crew of about 10 working for me; it would have been more but three of my people recently found full-time jobs.

Maybe the economy is starting to improve.

After this operation, the 2010 census will be about over. Crews have done the jails and college dorms, and even spent three nights counting homeless people.

Upon her return, she expects to see a mess of little flower plants, no unpaid bills and a well-groomed dog.

At a recent meeting, the town board decided to place a moratorium on new moorings off the town beach in Lake Champlain.

This does not apply to moorings in front of private residences. The town has a comprehensive law on the waterfront, but would like to get out of regulating moorings.

Be sure to observe Walpurgis Night on April 30, the eve of May Day. It’s an ancient European celebration of spring, with some Scandinavian communities in the US still carrying on the tradition of music and bonfires. The revelry is also related to a medieval belief that the power of witchcraft is at a peak now, exactly six months from Halloween.

he new Visitors Center at the Heritage House is getting ready for its second year of operation, and once again the call is going out for volunteers to act as "Ambassadors" for our lovely town during the busy summer months. The center will be open from Memorial Day to Columbus Day, and the Ambassadors greet visitors and have resources on hand to answer frequently asked questions about Westport, Wadhams, and the surrounding region.

This is a perfect way to put your local knowledge to use in helping others enjoy all that this wonderful area has to offer. Like last year, there's a brief half-hour training program to familiarize the Ambassadors with the Center and outline their duties.

The training sessions (Ambassadors are asked to attend one) are scheduled for Thursday, May 13 from 6:30-7 p.m. and Saturday, May 15 from 9:30-10 a.m.

If you’d like to volunteer this summer, please call Debbie Frisbie at 962-4802 or Nancy Decker at 962-4805 (if you can't make one of the sessions, call anyway and you can probably work out an alternative).

Last year's proud Ambassadors will be warmly welcomed back. They should also come to one of the sessions, since there have been several improvements that Debbie and Nancy are looking forward to sharing with everyone.

It's also time for the Drama Club's spring musical at Westport Central School. This year they're doing "Wonderful Town," the classic Broadway show about two smart and sassy sisters from Ohio who come to the Big Apple. Showtimes at Bulles Auditorium are Thursday, May 6 and Friday, May 7 at 7 p.m., with a matinee on May 8 at 3 p.m.

“We've got 29 seventh through twelfth graders acting and singing their way through this really cute show,” director Gigi Carroll told me, “and of course the famous Russell Ames is accompanying us on piano...” Need we say more?

Finally, don't forget that the school's Quiz Bowl team and Future Business Leaders of America are two outstanding student organizations that rely on us for support. To donate, or to find out more, call the school at 962-8244.

Nature Conservancy officials look to clarify land deal

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com KEENE VALLEY — Gov. David Paterson and Attorney General Andrew Cuomo made waves in northern New York two weeks ago when they announced an investigation into the state’s purchase of lands in Clinton County.

According to a story that appeared in the New York Post, the Adirondack chapter of The Nature Conservancy made a 57 percent profit off lands it had been holding for about four years.

The tract in question is some 20,000 acres of forest preserve land in the Lyon Mountain area. The conservancy sold the land to the state for $9.8 million in 2008, a supposed $3.5 million mark-up over what the green group paid in 2004.

The Post article alleges the increase in property values throughout the region was much less than the increase in the land’s appraisal, but assessments for timberlands do not equate to appraisals for real property.

Nature Conservancy spokeswoman Connie Prickett said the appraisal for the 20,000 acres in question was $9.1 million in 2004.

“So the difference between the value of the land in 2004 and the value of the land in 2008 when the state bought it was very consistent,” she said. “We’re talking $9.1 million in 2004. $9.8 million was the value the state arrived at in 2008 after conducting two independent appraisals.”

The conservancy bought the land in 2004 below fair market value. Prickett says that’s the case because it was part of a much larger wholesale purchase made in partnership with the Lyme Timber Company.

That purchase involved 104,000 acres.

“When you’re buying 104,000 acres, your per-acre price tends to be lower,” Prickett said. “So you take out a 20,000 acre chunk of a larger parcel, and the resale possibilities change. In the market place, there are going to be more buyers for a 20,000 acre parcel than for a 104,000 acre parcel.”

Opponents of the deal – and the deal’s price tag – argue that the state knowingly overpaid for the land in order to gain political favor with environmental groups.

Prickett said, to her knowledge, the state followed the same procedure it always does when it comes to purchases like the one in question.

“New York state followed it’s procedure and did those independent appraisals and made us an offer on the land, which was $9.8 million,” she said. “The Nature Conservancy accepted that offer, and that was consistent with our policy. When we are selling land to a government agency, we will sell it for no more than the government’s determined fair market value.”

And comparing the price the Nature Conservancy pays for land to the price the state pays is not an apples-to-apples comparison, Prickett adds.

“If you wanted to compare the price the Nature Conservancy paid, with the fair market value of the land in 2008, you’d have to compare the appraised value of the land,” she said. “But to compare the conservancy’s purchase price with New York state’s purchase price is not an apples-to-apples comparison in terms of value.”

Cuomo’s investigation into the deal is moving forward and his office has received clearance from Paterson – although the governor contends that no wrong-doing occurred.

Ta-Da! How do we look?

By Susan Doolittle The following items of note appeared on this date in the pages of our local newspapers.

The Essex County Republican 1897 ELIZABETHTOWN - 9:45 a.m., trial of Fred Otis called. The fishing in Edmond’s Pond was done by the defendant in May, 1895.

George L. Brown, sworn. Associate editor of the Elizabethtown Post in 1893, and is so still; that a notice was published in the Post for four months in 1893 and 1894, prohibiting fishing in the Cascade Lakes. Sign board exhibited.

Mrs. Edna M. Weston, sworn. Lived at the Cascade Lake House, in the town of Keene, and proprietor and owner of the house and Cascade Lakes since 1889; house is kept open during the year for summer borders, from June 15 to September 15; post office of Cascadeville is kept in the hotel; ponds contain trout; had notices posted on the premises in 1893, nailed to trees along the highway, four notices along each lake (notice offered in evidence by the people). John G. Fay was employed to watch the lakes to prevent fishing in 1895; caused notices to be printed and posted to protect the fish and game on the property. A record of a deed to the property in question offered in evidence and read to jury. A record of the last will and testament of the late Warren F. Weston offered in evidence, read and accepted. Mrs. Weston stated that for seven years trout from the state hatchery each year, some twenty-five thousand, were put into the Cascade Lakes; that she had made arrangements with state officials to take spawn from the Cascade Lakes, and that they furnish trout for the stocking of the lakes, and told them that they could not have spawn from the lakes unless they stood by her in defending the lakes from trespassers and that she never gave the defendant permission to fish in the lakes.

John Jay. Saw Fred Otis and others fishing in Cascade Lakes, On May 25, 1895; told them that signs were posted and that it was private grounds, and fishing prohibited, but Fred Otis would not,

and did not stop fishing; saw notices, nine on the main road and one on the opposite shore. Fred Otis had a string of fish secreted under a rock a few feet from the wagon track.

People Rest.

Exhibit 1 is offered by the defense which is a map of the territory embraced in the Cascade property.

John Goff called. Helped to survey the town line between Keen and North Elba with James Steele, the line crossed the upper pond about the middle of the pond.

Almon Hale, sworn. Worked as a surveyor; surveyed a line that crosses the lower Cascade Lake; Elmer Grimshaw and Fred Otis were with him. Lot line crosses the pond cornerways about twenty five rods below the stone bridges. Orlando Winch, sworn.

It’s springtime: Go outside - now!

S

oon, the days will get warmer and longer. Tiny buds will appear on trees and the Robins will, at last, return to the North Country. That fabulous smell of new grass and blossoming flowers will permeate the air. Previously hibernating raccoons, skunks and frogs will venture out to fill their decimated bellies. Some people will experience, all these harbingers of spring.

Sadly, many young people will not. They won’t because they will remain inside most of the time. With youth being at school all day, talking on cell phones, texting, surfing the net, e-mailing or Facebooking each other, watching up to six hours of television and another two to three hours of video games, there will be little time left to be in the natural world.

Years ago, my friends and I looked forward to spring because it meant school was nearly over and we would soon be working on area farms earning money. For a few years, springtime meant a trip down the

swollen and fast running Boquet River on an oil barrel raft. We took our bikes out, oiled the chains, pumped up the tires and we were mobile again.

It also meant fishing in deep holes of water that only existed in spring. It took a good deal of walking to get to some of them. We packed a sandwich, drank water from the river and were gone all day. We didn’t

We frequently came upon animals that crossed our paths on these outings.

This spring I hope that children will leave their virtual world for an excursion into the natural world. It is still there and it still offers as much wonder and discovery as it did many years ago.

Knowing about your mulches N

atural, or organic, mulches are an excellent way to retain soil moisture, add organic material to the soil, and reduce the amount of weeds in the garden. Natural mulches include pine needles, straw, grass clippings, wood chips, and shredded bark. Another mulch becoming common to find is cocoa shells.

Cocoa shell mulch is an attractive, dark mulch that will not bleach in the sun and is fairly easy to use because is lightweight. It is a natural by-product of the chocolate industry, so it is also environmentally-friendly and, for the first few weeks, has a pleasant chocolate aroma.

Unfortunately, this mulch is not for everyone. Pet owners — especially dog owners — should steer clear of this mulch. The cocoa shells, just like chocolate, contain the chemical theobromine. This naturally occurring compound — found in many plants, including cocoa beans — can be harmful to dogs. And, the mulch has an odor that many dogs find attractive to eat.

A few years ago, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals investigated several cases in which dogs ingested cocoa mulch. The organization studied those cases in response to the growing number of reports about dogs eating that type of mulch.

The ASPCA’s study revealed: • Vomiting was reported in 50 percent of the cases

• Tremors were reported in 33 percent of the cases. In these cases, the amount of cocoa mulch ingested by the dogs was described as “large or significant” • Tachycardia (rapid heart rate), hyperactivity, or diarrhea were reported in 17 percent of the cases • High amounts of cocoa mulch can cause tachycardia, muscle tremors, seizures, and even death. One dog died after eating a large amount of cocoa bean shell mulch that contained 0.46 percent theobromine • There were no clinical signs of illness in 33 percent of the cases • 67 percent of the cases came from dogs in California What does this mean for consumers? Well, if you own a dog you probably should not use cocoa shell mulch. Even if you have a discerning dog that turns his nose up to most doggy delicacies, you never know if he will find this potentially dangerous mulch to be a tasty treat! If you are not a pet owner, cocoa mulch is a great, environmentally-friendly organic mulch for your gardens!

Westport students present ‘Wonderful Town’

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Fun and laughter returns to the stage at Westport Central School next week as the Westport Drama Club presents “Wonderful Town” May 6-8.

About 30 students in grades seven through 12 star in this classic musical comedy by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov that debuted on Broadway in 1953 with music by legendary composer Leonard Bernstien.

The show’s director, Gigi Carroll noted how students in the drama club help chose which show they want to perform each year.

“For the past three years, the kids have opted to do a musical comedy,” Carroll. “They love to sing and dance and make people laugh.”

Set in New York City’s Greenwich Village during the summer of 1935, the story centers around two sisters, Ruth and Eileen Sherwood, who are fresh off a train from rural Ohio. Eileen has dreams of starring as a singer and actress, while Ruth aims to become a well-respected writer. Hilarious hijinx surround

the two of them as they frantically attempt to make it big in the Big Apple.

Carroll described “Wonderful Town” as a family-friendly show with great music and plenty of loveable characters.

“A lot of the kids get singing and speaking roles,” she said, noting how that was one of the deciding points among the students.

Cast members, many of whom have participated in Drama Club performances each year in addition to sports and other activities, agreed it was the show’s humor that attracted them to it.

“It’s an eclectic piece,” said senior Devin Martin. “It’s got a little bit of everything.”

“It’s all very fun,” said senior Valentina Rodriguez.

Performances take place in Westport Central School’s Bulles Auditorium May 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. and May 8 at 3 p.m. Tickets, available at the door, are $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors with a $20 maximum per family.

For more information, contact Westport Central School at 9628244.

The Westport Drama Club will present their annual spring musical, “Wonderful Town” May 6-8 in the Westport Central School Auditorium. Among the cast are (R-L, back row): Liam Davis, Devin Martin, Johnny Stahl, Kelsey Carroll, (middle row): Anna Finucane, Kim Hughes, Valentina Rodriguez, (front row): Delaney Sears, and Martha McKinley.

County Tax From page 1

significant cuts are not made to the 2011 county budget.

“I think we need to look at it pretty seriously,” said Preston April 19, “and I think we have no other option than to look at raising the property tax, which I am very much against doing.”

Many supervisors agree raising the sales tax has less of an impact on Essex County residents than an increase in property tax because they believe a significant percentage of sales tax is paid by people not living in Essex County.

“The thing with sales tax is everybody contributes,” said Palmer. “For every dollar of income the average person earns, they may spend about three cents in sales tax.”

Based on that figure, Palmer said, the estimated $1.5 million that would be generated by a quarter-percent increase in the sales tax could cost residents up to 10 times more because it would equate to a 22-cent-per-thousand increase in the property tax.

Palmer has said that Essex County attracts about 2 million overnight visitors each year, helping to generate the nearly $22 million in sales tax revenue the county takes in annually. The current property tax rate of $1.98 per thousand is enough to generate the county’s $13.25 million property tax levy.

The deadline for counties to submit a request for a sales tax increase is May 25, said Palmer. Applying for the increase allows, but

does not require, the county to enact it.

Currently, the sales tax rate is 7.75 percent in Essex County. Raising it to a full 8 percent would put it on par with neighboring Franklin and Clinton Counties and a full point above Warren, Washington, and Hamilton Counties.

Forty six of New York’s 62 counties have a sales tax rate of 8 percent or higher.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava supported the resolution, but noted that the additional tax should only be used, if necessary, to take the place of a potential property tax increase.

“This isn’t just looking to raise the $1.5 million so we can go out and spend it,” he said.

Others, such as Westport Supervisor Dan Connell, were opposed to making the request.

“A tax is a tax is a tax,” said Connell, arguing there’s still much to be done to determine ways to cut county spending. “We’ve only just started [the] Deficit Reduction [committee] and we’re already looking at a new tax.”

Just last year, county officials voted to distribute a quarter-percent of its sales tax revenue among the towns and villages in Essex County. Some supervisors had argued for a half-percent or quarter-percent increase at that time, but the measure never garnered enough support.

“This isn’t an additional revenue; this is a replacement revenue,” argued Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow. “We already gave this quarter percent to the towns.”

The resolution passed with only Connell, Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider, and Schroon Lake Supervisor Cathy Moses dissenting.

Westport to vote on public building

By Colin Wells denpubs@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Westport voters will chose whether to go ahead with a proposed new $7 million municipal building June 15.

The Westport Town Board met April 13, unanimously approving a bond resolution funding the project and officially sending the decision to voters.

At a public information meeting prior to the board meeting, supervisor Dan Connell told attendees the town will immediately begin searching for grants that could help bring down the final cost if the project wins voters’ approval. The town has already secured a nearly $600,000 state grant for planning the building, of which only a small amount has been spent.

“The $7 million represents the limit of what we can spend,” Connell said, “but we have reason to hope that the final cost will be significantly less.”

"Because of the economic situation, bids are coming in low and bond rates are down," he explained.

When asked about the annual cost to taxpayers, Connell estimated it to be as high as $2.32 per $1,000 of assessed value. But he called that figure a “worst-case scenario” based on a 25-year bond of the full $7 mil-

These architectural drawings show the proposed Westport Municipal Building, a $7 million project in the town of Westport that will be up for a public vote June 15. lion at a relatively high rate of 6 percent.

Connell said the actual figure could be closer to $1.20 per thousand, based on bonding a smaller total at a lower rate.

“We already have the $600,000, so that will bring it down right from the start,” he added.

If approved, the building would consolidate facilities for the Department of Public

IN MEMENTO MORI

A special thanks to all the doctors, nurses, and mental psychiatric and nursing home caregivers for their aid during Jim LaForest’s psychological collapse when his column joined the demise of Dick Tracy. I recorded his mutterings for this paid for space.

He denies he is the person walking around the Essex Hamlet bragging about how he outsmarted the News by using a false name in a Letter to the Editor.

He also denies, “I have ever mentioned or alluded in print to the new Essex Supervisor in any column. Anyone claiming so is a prevaricator or subject to paranoia.”

Jim said he will DONATE $100.00 TO DNC’S CHARITIES FOR EACH AND EVERY SUCH MENTION WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN HIS COLUMNS. While he was a constant user of ironic semiotic symbolism and double entendres he abhorred the undereducated misuse of the word “opinionated” which is, of course, the act of using obsessive beliefs suffering from an absence of intellectual reasoning.

He opinionatedly disagrees with those 3 persons who claim that the absence of his column means that the News is now charging too much to purchase their paper.

Penultimately, he always believed in the intelligence of his readers and feels sorry for the intellectual incapacities of others whom disagreed.

Antepenultimate, he has bowed to requests from many (2) former readers and will post his column on area bulletin boards and in his Blog prettygoodjimofessexny starting April 30 and is close to agreeing to prepare his column for another newspaper.

Because Jim is still in a straight jacket and can not type, this ad is submitted for him by Frederick Schiller, (the real Max Brand) Chairman of Muk and Myer, PC. 67946

Works (DPW), the Westport Central School bus garage, the Fire Department, and the Town Offices, each of which currently occupy separate premises dating from the 1950s or earlier. The new building would be con-

structed on the current grounds of the DPW, on Route 22 near the northern border of the hamlet.

According to Connell, planning for the project began eight years ago when it became apparent that each of the old facilities was badly outdated and beyond feasible renovation. One of the planners' main aims, he said, has been to achieve ongoing savings for taxpayers by sharing services and materials.

The original plans, unveiled at two public meetings last December, came with price tag of just under $6 million. At the April 13 meeting, Connell recounted how suggestions from members of the public had resulted in features being restored to the plans that had earlier been trimmed in order to save costs.

One example is radiant heat, which costs more up front but offers significant savings over time.

The June 15 vote will take place at the Town Hall from noon to 8 p.m., and all registered voters who have registered by May 16 will be eligible. Absentee ballots will also be counted and may be obtained from the Town Clerk.

held April 24, drawing a crowd of nearly 150 people to remember the 16-year-old ElizabethtownLewis Central School student whose life ended April 25, 2007 after a long battle with Cystic Fibrosis.

Nathan’s sister, Carlee Hammond, organizes the event each year, raising money for causes that hold special meaning for Nathan and his family.

“I was really impressed at the number of people who came out after three years,” said Carlee; “just the amount of people who still want to come out and donate to a good cause and help in the community.”

Each participant contributed $20 for a t-shirt and barbecue luncheon, which was supplemented by additional donations. Page Cotter, a close friend of Carlee, donated $900, just as she’s done in past years.

Altogether, the event raised roughly $4,600, the most it has ever raised. The funds go primarily to the Nathan Hammond Memorial Scholarship Fund, which awards a scholarship to an ELCS senior each year.

Some of the money is also passed along to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Donna Crandall Foundation, a fund which provides care packages for pediatric patients at Albany Medical Center, which is where Nathan received much of his treatment.

Many of Nathan’s classmates, now graduated from ELCS, returned to Elizabethtown to participate in the walk.

“It was nice that so many of his friends were able to be there,” said Carlee.

Supervisors decry poll consolidation

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com

already travel great distances to vote, and argued the plan might help solve the problem of recruiting and training new poll workers to replace those aging out of the job.

County Manager Dan Palmer said he advised against consolidation this year since voters will already be experiencing the change that comes with using the new optical scan machines.

Many supervisors agreed more input was needed from election commissioners about the plan and the savings it would create.

Republican Commissioner Derinda Sherman, however, was out of town at a state conference for election commissioners, and Democratic Commissioner David Mace was out of his office and could not be reached.

“I don’t think it’s responsible for us to vote on something we don’t have the numbers for,” said Montgomery-Corey, whose abstention made the vote in favor of the resolution all but unanimous.

When contacted by phone later that evening, Sherman said she could understand the controversy behind the plan, but felt it needed to be presented as a way for the county to reduce costs.

“I had said that I’m okay with not doing it so long as the Board of Supervisors understands the financial implications,” she said.

Both Sherman and Mace would need to approve the consolidation plan for it to move forward.

ELIZABETHTOWN — A plan to save money by reducing the number of polling places in Essex County is being met with staunch opposition from county officials.

The Essex County Ways and Means Committee voted April 26 to urge the county’s Board of Elections to reconsider a plan that would close up to four polling sites in four separate towns, thereby saving Essex County roughly $50,000.

Commissioners at the Board of Elections notified supervisors in each of the four towns late last week of their plan to reduce the county’s expenses for new electronic voting machines now required by state regulations in accordance with the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA).

The plan involves consolidating the polling places of less populous voting districts with those of other districts such that one less voting machine is needed to accommodate voters in both districts.

As of this year, all polling places in New York are required to utilize optical scan voting machines, which tabulate votes by scanning a paper ballot marked by voters.

Essex County has budgeted the purchase of several of the new machines, which cost about $11,500 each, with much of the funds coming from a federal HAVA grant. The need for up to four machines would be eliminated under the consolidation plan.

Still, most town supervisors agreed the savings is not worth the possible cost to voter turnout.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava offered a resolution opposing the Board of Elections plan and asking that all current polling places be kept open.

Scozzafava said one of the polling sites up for closure would be the one used in the hamlet of Mineville for town voting district three.

He said he was adamantly opposed to the change as it would keep many voters in that district away from the polls.

“The whole premise behind this [HAVA] act is to encourage people to vote,” he said, “and this doesn’t do that.”

Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas had a similar stance to the plan, which would require voters in and around Au Sable Forks to use the polling site in the hamlet of Jay. “I have an issue with that, if only because there’s not enough parking to accommodate the whole town,” he said, arguing voters might not want to go to a more crowded polling site.

Westport Supervisor Dan Connell said he was opposed to the plan as it would aim to close a polling site in the hamlet of Wadhams.

When a similar proposal was made two years ago, he said, residents of that voting district expressed overwhelming opposition.

“My board is completely against it,” said Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee. “We have a tough enough time getting voters out, and to get them to drive another 10 to 12 miles is not going to help.”

Election commissioners are not required to heed the board’s request in their decision, which, according to Scozzafava, needed to be made prior to next week’s Board of Supervisors’ meeting.

Sweeney tapped as village manager

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — Former Saranac Lake Village Manager John Sweeney is getting a second shot at the job.

Newly elected Mayor Clyde Rabideau announced Sweeney’s appointment to the position at a press conference April 22, about one week after the resignation of Marty Murphy left it vacant.

Rabideau said the decision to tap Sweeney for the position was one made collectively by the village board.

“We’ve quickly come to a decision on a replacement,” said Rabideau. “You have here a dedicated public servant and you know what he’s made of.”

Sweeney had served as a village trustee before being chosen as village manager in 2002. He remained in that position until his resignation in June 2007.

“I didn’t feel I was able to fully devote myself to the village at that time,” Sweeney explained.

When asked his motivation for returning to the position, he said, “I think this board is headed in a good direction.”

Since 2007, Sweeney has remained in the area, working as a contractor and with the Olympic Regional Development Authority.

“I’m glad we’re back and getting things

done,” Sweeney said, noting how many of the same issues which existed at the end of his last tenure still remain.

When asked why the board chose Sweeney without any formal or nationwide search, Rabideau said Sweeney was simply the best choice.

“I know the last administration supposedly put out a nationwide search,” Rabideau said. “We discussed that option and we also discussed the availability of John Sweeney.

Our unanimous decision was to ask John Sweeney if he would come back. We’re 100 percent confident he has the ability.”

The board agreed upon a $69,000 salary for Sweeney, Rabideau said, a figure somewhat less than the $72,500 Murphy was paid.

“The board has many things it wants to accomplish, and I’m confident this open, honest team is going to help us get there,” Rabideau added.

Deputy mayor Jeff Branch said he was pleased with the decision to appoint Sweeney.

“We’ve had our disagreements in the past,” said Branch, “but John’s heart is always in the right place, and he always has the interest of the village in mind.”

Sweeney’s appointment was officially approved at the April 26 Village Board meeting.

Lazio pays visit to North Country

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — The leading Republican candidate for Governor of New York made a trip to the North Country last week to meet with supporters in the area and hopefully lock up his bid for GOP endorsement.

Gubernatorial candidate Rick Lazio stopped in Saranac Lake April 22 to meet with constituents and discuss the upcoming gubernatorial elections.

The former Long Island Congressman munched on pancakes at the Blue Moon Café while addressing the problems he said are forcing New Yorkers to leave the state they love.

“People say they’re embarrassed to be from New York – I’m not embarrassed to say I’m from New York,” Lazio said. “I often say this: I think we’ve got the most entrepreneurial, hardest working, most dedicated, the greatest, most candid and toughest people in America, and the worst state government in the country.”

Lazio’s platform focuses on addressing what he views as the state’s two biggest problems – its economic situation and corruption in Albany.

According to Lazio, New York is hemorrhaging jobs and leads the country when it comes to residents moving out-of-state. And, he adds, increasing taxes make the problem worse, not better.

And when it comes to addressing corruption and unethical behavior in Albany, Lazio says the solution is simple.

“I am for term limits,” he said. “I believed in them when I was in congress; I believe in them now.”

Following a question and answer period with

guests, Lazio told the press he’ll work hard to dispel the notion that Albany has turned its back on northern New York.

“You’ll see me up here all the time,” he said.

“We’re going to have people from upstate communities serving in senior levels of state government, and we’re going to be focused on issues that ‘upstaters’ really care about. In the park area, we’re going to be talking about finding a better balance between economic development, job creation and the preservation of the park mission.”

Lazio also said he would support a moratorium on state land purchases – something that current Governor David Paterson has called for in his executive budget.

Lazio also made a stop at the Deer’s Head Inn in Elizabethtown April 20 where he met with a group of 22 Republican officials and several GOP committee members.

There, Lazio promised to cap property tax increases at 2.5 percent annually and put a stop to many unfunded mandates for local governments. He said he would put the line-item veto to more frequent use as a necessary measure to reduce spending.

“Medicaid costs the state $1 billion per week and has a rising number of beneficiaries,” said Lazio. “We need to fix that.”

Lazio also said he expects a lot of strong opposition to his proposals as governor.

“I’m used to it, I’m ready for it,” Lazio said.

“If that mean’s I’m a one-termer, I’m fine with that because I can pass on to my successor a better New York.”

Lazio faces primary challenges from Democrat-turned-Republican Steve Levy, a celebrated Suffolk County executive, and millionaire Buffalo businessman Carl Paladino, who has indi-

cated he may run as a third party candidate if he fails to garner GOP support. Lazio claims he already has enough support from party members to prevent a primary election in September.

State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is the likely Democratic candidate, although he has not yet officially declared his candidacy.

Levy made his first appearance in the North Country the week before last when he spoke at a rally of the Upstate New York TEA Party in Plattsburgh April 15.

The Essex County Republican Committee has already given its endorsement to Lazio, as have

State Assemblywomen Teresa Sayward and Janet Duprey.

Ron Jackson, chair of the committee, said he could not be prouder of Lazio.

“Rick Lazio is a man who not only talks the talk but has walked the walk,” said Jackson.

When he was in Congress, he voted conservatively before it was popular. He is the best man to bring order to the chaos that is Albany.”

Valley News Editor Matt Bosley contributed to this report.

Oh, that unpredictable Adirondack weather!

A

s I work on this week’s column, an ominous warning sounds from the radio: “A winter storm watch is in effect from Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon….the National Weather Service in Burlington has issued a winter storm watch for heavy snow across the Northern Adirondacks ….with the potential for 6 to 12 inches of heavy, wet snow with temperatures near freezing through much of the event.”

Earlier in the morning, I had been complaining to my wife about the plague of dandelions that had consumed our front lawn, and May hadn’t even arrived yet.

I knew recent weather patterns had been just too good to be true. Usually, by this time of year, I’d be waiting for ice-out to get on the water and chomping the bit to wet a line. Instead, I’ve spent the past three weeks on the ponds, catching trout with reckless abandon.

The season’s weather has been as fantastic as the angling and I’ve been forced to coverup only with sunscreen, rather than the usual dose of bug dope.

Just yesterday, water temperatures on the streams finally topped the 50 degree mark, a barrier considered ideal for mayflies to hatch.

However, it now appears hatching mayflies will have to compete with snowflakes for airspace.

Hopefully, the storm will pass without much disturbance. However, I’m willing to take whatever the weather has to offer, because I’ve been angling on borrowed time for the entire month of April.

Value of a flowing stream In the course of my travels, I visit a lot of small towns and villages across the Adirondacks. I always enjoy meeting residents of the local communities and listening to their cares and concerns. Our local communities share similar problems ranging from aging populations to activities for area youth, as well as state mandates and a looming economic crisis.

I’ll always maintain a certain affinity for the little village of Elizabethtown; it’s where I grew up. Typical of other rural communities, the village has struggled in recent years with aging infrastructures ranging from bridges to waterworks and from energy efficient, office

space to a new county jail.

Nestled comfortably in the mountain shadows of the Adirondack High Peaks, and within easy striking distance of the wonderful Lake Champlain, the tiny hamlet is graced with an abundance of natural attractions.

Possibly, the community’s greatest asset is its most commonly overlooked resource. It is the most prominent natural feature and it fosters a connection between the High Peaks to the west, with the Big Lake to the east.

Scientists already predict, that in future years, it’s a natural resource that will prove more valuable than oil. They’re talking water, the type of fresh, clear, clean water that flows through almost every single, settlement in the park.

There is little doubt that eventually an alternative will be discovered to replace oil. But there is no replacement for fresh water. It is impossible to ascribe a dollar figure on the value of a single stream as no one can fix a price tag

on the wonders of nature, the aesthetics of a caressing stream.

Elizabethtown has the Boquet River, which flows out of the soaring peaks of the Dix Range and meanders gently through the Pleasant Valley and the farmlands of Willsboro to Lake Champlain.

The Boquet is not the only river that runs through it, as there are also numerous creeks, streams, brooks, rivulets and cricks that regularly drain the nearby hills.

Over the years, running water provided power for the mills and innumerable pleasures for those that manned them. It has manifested its power in terrible floods and soothed many a worried soul, who sought solace from its gentle flow.

Fresh water is the lifeblood of our communities. It provides communities with inexpensive entertainment via fishing poles, swimming holes or a solitary paddle along a placid stillwater. It also drives the freshwater tourism that forms the basis of the Adirondack economy.
