ELIZABETHTOWN — A joint effort between Elizabethtown Community Hospital and the Hudson Headwaters group will soon bring a new pediatrician to the area.

Dr. Michael Celotti will be establishing practices in both Elizabethtown and Moriah in early August, due in large part to funding Hudson Headwaters secured from the Doctors Across New York program, which helps pay a physician’s medical school bills in exchange for the commitment to practice in a medically underserved area.

“This program, established by the governor and legislature, is critically important to rural areas such as ours,” said Dr. John Rugge, CEO of Hudson Headwaters.

According to Elizabethtown Community Hospital CEO Rod Boula, the community has been requesting pediatric services for nearly six years; and trying to attract a pediatrician to the area has been a challenge.

“The Essex County area has traditionally lacked pediatric

Remembering John Brown

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com NORTH ELBA — More than one hundred people gathered at the John Brown Farm State Historic Site May 8 to celebrate the 210th anniversary of the famous abolitionist’s birth and left with increased hope this will not be the last year the event is celebrated there.

State Sen. Betty Little told those present how Carol Ash, director of the New York State Parks Department, has said she will attempt to make adjustments in her budget that will allow for all 14 state historic sites to remain open.

Both Little and Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward have championed the cause of keeping the site open after Gov. David Paterson named it one of several parks slated for closure under his proposed budget.

Closure of the site, where Brown is buried alongside 11 of the 21 men he led in his 1859 raid on the Harper ’s Ferry armory, accounts for $40,000 of an estimated $6.3 million savings from park closures.

“I believe we have an obligation and a duty to the State of New York to protect our history and to keep it open for all of the people to come and enjoy it,” Sayward said.

North Elba supervisor Roby Politi said the farm was not just a part of the town’s heritage, but also a valuable part of America’s history.

“North Elba has worked to keep the site open to the public,” he said. “I can assure you we will not sit back and allow for its demise.”

Several speakers and presenters took part in the commemorative event, including Alice Keesey Mecoy, a great-great-great granddaughter of John Brown. Also present to speak was Brenda Pitts, a descendant of John A. Copeland, a free black from Oberlin, Ohio,

who participated in the raid and was captured and hung alongside Brown in 1859.

Pitts recalled how her mother had told her stories of Copeland in her youth that painted both him and Brown as heroes who gave up their lives to end slavery.

“Imagine my surprise when we were students in American History class learning about how John Brown was crazy and all the men with him were as crazy as he was.”

The keynote speaker was Franny Nudelman, a professor at Carleton University and author of “John Brown’s Body: slavery, violence, and the culture of war.” She spoke about the stark differences of how Brown’s corpse was treated in comparison with those of Copeland and the other free blacks who participated in the raid.

While Brown’s body was reluctantly relinquished to his family for burial, Nudelman explained, Copeland’s family, suffered the indignity of his body being stolen by medical students and dissected for anatomical study, a fate common in those days for the poor and minorities.

Though his family managed to dissuade abolitionists from parading it through the streets of northern cities, Brown’s body still became a symbol subject of an abolitionist song.

“By contrast, when 3,000 people gathered at an Oberlin chapel to mourn the death of John Copeland, it was over an empty casket,” said Nudelman.

Students from Newcomb Central School performed “Take it to the Top,” a rap song they wrote about slavery, and three students from James P. Duffy School No. 12’s Frederick Douglass Club traveled all the way from Rochester to perform dramatic recitations of Douglass’ speeches.

ope mothers everywhere were treated in some special way this past Sunday. My family joined the Gloads for a meal at Butcher Block.

A special performance held at the local school recently, was “Wit.” This is a powerful story of a cancer patient played by Leslie Hearn, who gave an outstanding performance. This was a different experience for those in attendance as we were all up on the stage with the actors, putting us in closer contact with the whole story.

Great job by all the cast, and half of the profits went to High Peaks Hospice program.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, May 18 to vote for the school budget. A great educational program is provided for our students, but we need to pass the budget. Great pride that some of our local children on the a bowling team this year did very well in the NYS Bowling Tournament held recently in Plattsburg. A local team “the Crazy” took first place in the section 5 class C and will now go on to the next level in Syracuse. Congratulations to Jesse Hearn who won

a $500 Scholarship for college.

Welcome back to town Brad & Bobbie Paye, Ruth Young, Lucille & Harry Little; great to have you back. I had a great visit with Mary Jane & Larry Lee this last Sunday. We have some very proud grand- and great-grandparents in town as they welcome new babies into their families. Arlene Mason told me of twins born to grandson J.P. Mason over in Vermont.

They are Kendra Lillian Mason and Keegan Franklin Mason. Richard and Ulla McCray’s son, Roger, and family also had a new baby boy born recently, Logan McCray. Sorry to hear Bob Huestis ended back up in the hospital and hope he is able to return home soon. Our sympathy is extended to the family of Marie Ori as she passed away very suddenly this past week.

ur fair community is coming even more alive as our new grocery store, Mac’s Market, has opened. The place is clean with a friendly staff and reasonably priced with some unique items. I can’t wait to try some of the grilling sauces – sesame garlic – yum, yum!

My love of grilling is bringing me face to face with one of my frustrations with my home in Keeseville: my Jekyll and Hyde backyard. My front yard is fairly consistent and, hey, it’s easy to find me – I’m the one who is too busy typing to mow.

We have two forces of nature to contend with in order to create a lush green Keeseville lawn. First are the moles that dig everything up. According to Greg at Adirondack Hardware, while there are many ways to kill moles that don’t work, taking out the mole’s food source, grubs, is easier. Hungry moles will look elsewhere.

Just figure out what is living in your

ground – worms, beetles, etc., and work at removing those.

Mother Nature’s other monkey on our backs is the tomato blight. This is annoying as the current economy fosters a desire to grow food to save money and tomatoes are very easy to grow. Greg hopes the blight won’t be so bad this year. It might have run its course. The best way to make sure is if you see any black spots on the leaves or plants, yank the whole thing out, bag it, throw it in the garbage and get a new plant. Once it’s on the plant, that’s it.

Don’t leave the plant lying out expose, even as compost, as the blight will live and move on to other living plants.

Now I just need to get grass to grow in all my lovely sand. Greg comes to the rescue with a simple plan to reseed. By the end of May, lay the seed down, cover with hay, water and fertilize and let it go.

Around the end of summer, late September reseed any bare patches. Wish us all luck.

In my vegetable garden, the translucent fabric tents over the beds are a great success. We’re getting wonderful spinach and lettuce earlier than ever because the tents act like small greenhouses, keeping plants warm during these blustery days.

support our North Country SPCA Animal Shelter, but since they've got their own column I usually avoid writing about them here. Still, the shelter is an important part of our community, and recent events offer a perfect opportunity to give them some long overdue recognition in this space.

As you may have guessed, I'm talking about the abandoned kittens found recently at the Split Rock trailhead. The story began on April 22, when Rob Rich, a UVM student and avid hiker, got out of his car at Split Rock found five kittens—three newborns whose eyes had just opened, and two that were about a month old—on the ground nearby.

Rob brought them to the shelter, where— as if that wasn't enough of a good deed for the day—he also made a donation to the shelter on the spot, and then went back to the trailhead to look for any kittens he might have missed. He came back to the shelter to tell director Pam Rock that he hadn't found any. I'm hoping he was on his

way to visit his relative, Westport resident Mary Beal, but judging from his generous behavior it's a good guess he would have made the extra trip anyway.

The next day, however, two more kittens were found, this time by Essex resident Linda Coffin. At about six weeks, they were older than the others and hostile at first, and may have been hiding when Rob came back. Like Rob, Linda brought the kittens she had found to the shelter as well.

The terrible part is that their ages show that the kittens made up three separate litters.

“It had to have been three separate mothers,” Pam said. In other words, someone deliberately abandoned not just one but three litters of kittens.

However, thanks to Rob, Linda, Pam Rock and the North Country SPCA, they all survived this act of cruelty. Three have been adopted, and four are left, including three of the youngest ones. They will be ready to go home with you soon, but you can come in and get to know them anytime.

I

was recently talking with a friend of mine who informed me that he had some difficulty finding an apartment that would allow "Pit Bulls," though other dogs were welcome residents. We discussed some of the misconceptions about this breed of dog, and the actual temperament of a breed that can foster some loyal and good-natured pups.

With the advent of summer sun just ahead, your pets may become increasingly uncomfortable as you enjoy the warmer temperatures. My two Maine Coon-mix cats definitely prefer cool weather; they've already had a few days of sitting in the window trying to catch a cooling breeze. There is a solution for your long-haired felines to keep them cool, although it may seem a little drastic at first.

The "Lion Cut" is a popular "hairstyle" for cats that involves shaving your kitty, aside from her head, mane, front legs, back feet, and tip of her tail. The resulting appearance resembles that of a lion. You can achieve this cut at home using a pair of standard pet shears; however, you may be more comfortable going to a professional groomer or a veterinarian, especially if your kitty is a bit skitterish. This cut offers advantages of helping your cat avoid hairballs, keeping her cleaner, providing a "cute" appearance, and cutting down on shedding throughout the summer months.

Your cat's fur will of course grow back, and possibly better than before - if your feline friend has a lot of matted fur, you can prevent this from recurring by brushing her frequently

Bubba as the hair regrows.

Our featured pet this week is Bubba, a Shepherd-mix who is an older fellow with a loving, mellow personality. His owner passed away recently, and no other family members were able to take him in. He is hoping to find a new family on which to lavish his affection and love. He's a charismatic pooch with a winsome smile. You will find that, although he is a mature dog, he can be a wonderful and rewarding new member of your home.

You can visit Bubba, and our many other dogs and cats available for adoption, at 23 Lakeshore Avenue in Westport. Call us at 9628604 for more information, or check out our website at www.ncspca.org.

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

The Essex County Republican 1897 MORIAH - Through the courtesy of R. E. Bishop, Sherman Collegiate Institute has received for its zoological collection a pair of Mexican horned toads. This curious reptile, classified with the lizard family, is about the size of the common toad, which it somewhat resemble in color. On the back of the head are two distinct horns, nearly an inch in length, while the entire body is covered with spines.

Instead of the jumping motion of the hop-toad, it wriggles and runs like the lizards, and is very nimble in the warm sun. It is an intelligent little pet, readily learning to distinguish the voice and person of the one who cares for it.

Principal Brown brought them down, and showed them to the teachers in attendance at the institute here this week.

WESTPORT - Many friends of William R. Woodbridge have been surprised to learn that the appellate division of the Supreme court has reversed the judgment given in his favor at Elizabethtown last September, and ordered an absolute judgment for the defendant, Mr. Marks. It is said that one of the judges dissented from this decision, which seems to some to establish a dangerous precedent, if it implies that before visiting any premises on a lawful errand in an open manner, and at a suitable time of day, a citizen should carefully ascertain if any watch dogs are kept there, and then go at his own peril, provided with pistols or other means of defending himself, where the arm of the law does not reach.

SARANAC LAKE - There is in the Adirondack mountains a fugitive from justice, who has been like the “Wandering Jew,” continually on the move for a number of years to escape arrest, says the Troy Press. The story has a tinge of romance in it, though the crime was a horrible murder. Early on the morning of June 3, 1888, Charles Brown, one of the best known of the Adirondack guides, called at the hotel of George Berkeley, at Saranac Lake village, and demanded whiskey. Brown had been at the hotel the evening before and became intoxicated, and the landlord had refused him more drink. At this Brown became angry and was very abusive. He became so noisy and created such a disturbance that he was ejected from the hotel. When leaving he made threats. No one paid much attention as it was liked upon as the result of too much liquor and only idle vaporings. Brown left and went to the house of his father and taking his rifle, a Winchester, returned to the village. He went to the village store and purchased a box of cartridges and then began to watch for Berkeley. The landlord gave him no further attention, but was engaged in attending to the wants of some guests.

Finally, coming out, he engaged in conversation with a man on his veranda. When Brown saw him he emerged from the store, and raising his gun, took deliberate aim and fired. The ball struck Berkeley in the groin and he fell to the floor and became unconscious, remaining so until he died, between eight and nine hours after the shooting. Immediately after firing the shot, Brown fled into the mountains, and has never been arrested. He has lived in the mountains alone, and for a number of years was occasionally seen in several places. He always is armed, and some friendly guide keeps him supplied with ammunition and clothing. The extent of his wanderings can only be appreciated by looking at the map of the mountains.

What happens when a school budget is voted down?

A

s local residents prepare to vote on their school budgets May 18, many are wondering what alternatives their district has to passing the budget that has been proposed for 2010-11. With that in mind, here’s a little background on what a ‘no’ vote for a school budget would look like: Districts, that is, school boards, have a couple of options if a proposed budget is voted down.

First, they can choose to move directly to a contingency budget. The other option is to go to a second vote with either the same budget or a revised proposal.

If the school board elects to hold a second vote, it must be held on the third Tuesday in June. If that proposal is defeated, the board is then required to adopt a contingency budget by July 1.

By law, schools must also hold their elections for the Board of Education May 18, but any new board members elected would not be sworn in until July 1, so they would have no bearing on any decisions for next year’s budget.

Holding a second vote on a revised budget can pose a cost to school districts, which can vary depending on district size and population.

For this reason, districts often opt to go right to a contingency budget.

Contingency budgets are limited by a certain spending cap calculated based on the Consumer Price Index, which, in the midst of this recession, is negative for the first time since 1955. According to the State Legislature, that means the current cap requires level spending from the previous year.

Even with level spending, a district’s tax levy could still increase due to reductions in state aid.

Many area schools held out until the April 23 deadline to adopt their proposed budgets, hoping New York State would approve its budget for next year with higher projected aid for school districts. If state aid does increase after the district adopts its budget, it cannot be used

to increase appropriations, only to reduce the tax levy.

In some cases, school’s proposed budgets already make significant cuts to spending and fall below the contingency level.

By Matt Bosley It’s possible a contingency budget could result in a higher tax levy in those cases.

But there are some types of expenses that, by law, cannot be included as part of a contingency budget. Increases to administrative costs, purchases of certain equipment, and allowing certain groups to use school facilities are among the things that would have to be left out of a contingency budget.

Going to contingency does not necessarily require schools to reduce spending for other extracurricular programs, such as athletics or field trips, but some such programs could be cut in lieu of other cuts that would further reduce state aid to the district.

Also, once a contingency budget is established, community residents are no longer allowed to petition boards of education to put additional expenditures up for a separate vote.

If you’re thinking of voting ‘no’ for your school’s budget, be sure to take a good look at what could happen if the budget is defeated.

Talk to your school’s superintendent and school board members about their “Plan B,” because killing the budget you don’t want is not necessarily going to get you a better one.

Letters To The Editor Save the Keeseville Civic Center

Are our representatives listening?

To the editor: Keeseville is an historic community and the town government cannot make that fact go away, but it can make it impossible for their citizens, students and visitors to see and appreciate relics of that history. Why would the town government want to destroy the means for the town museum to survive?

Keeseville's heritage is treasured and kept alive in the Anderson Falls Historical Society's museum located in the Keeseville Civic Center. The museum is run by Society volunteers on a very limited budget, so throwing the Society out of their home and not providing any options is beyond comprehension.

The keepers of the town's unique place in North Country history deserve better than that. Keeseville citizens deserve better.

To the editor: Bill Owens did not bother to read my letter! I sent a message to NY congressman Bill Owens about H.R. 2499, the bill concerning Puerto Rico voting to become the 51st state, and placed “financial” in the subject line.

The response I received had nothing to do with my message, but dealt with the Financial Regulatory Reform bill, H.R. 4173. He didn't even bother to read the content of my message and sent his response based solely upon the subject line. This is an outrage! I spend my time and resources to contact my elected representative and he does not make the effort to read my messages. Are our representatives really listening to us?

On keeping your mouth shut

M

y father was a man of few words and my mother many.

Once while traveling, we came to an intersection where there was a traffic cop and he motioned for my father to stop followed quickly by a motion to go forward, then a stop signal again. The frustrated policeman motioned for my father to pull over.

His leather book was out to write a ticket when my mother launched into him like a Tomahawk missile. She explained that his incompetence led to a miscommunication and “is that what are tax dollars are being used for?” and on and on. He closed his book, leaned in the window and said, “Sir, I am not giving you a ticket; I think that you are suffering enough.” My father smiled and drove away. While my mother ’s verbal assault on the policeman worked out okay for my dad, it just as easily could have made things much worse.

I have learned across my life that there are many occasions when keeping your mouth shut offers a variety of advantages.

When your mom starts banging things around in the kitchen and asks you what you are doing, I’ve found that simply leaving the house quietly is best. When your teacher turns quickly and stares at you and asks why you are talking, it is best to just be quiet. When your wife or girlfriend asks you if their outfit makes them look fat, just quietly walk away; lie if you must.

There are some people who like to make conversation by sharing intimate details of their lives.

No one really wants to know that

By Scot Hurlburt you are suffering from hemorrhoids or that you are having a colonoscopy next week or that you have a strange rash in your armpit.

Then there are people that feel so strongly about their religious or political beliefs that offering your opinion to them would only incite them to speak even more stridently of which they so profoundly believe.

When a friend comes to you with a heavy heart, usually they aren’t looking for advice; just listen. I have also found that allowing others to talk gives you an opportunity to learn new things. In fact, in most interactions, talking less and listening more is almost always the best way to interact.

This principle is especially important when talking to youth. Feel complemented that they have come to you; just listen. Remember, all kids count.

CARE Fair promotes public safety

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Cold winds and rain didn’t spoil a funfilled day as a coalition of local government agencies and nonprofit organizations worked to promote safe, healthy living.

Around 300 people, both adults and youth, descended on the Essex County Fairgrounds May 8 for the Caring About Residents of Essex County (CARE) Fair, an event that included games, events, prizes, and giveaways – all centered around safety education.

“I’m very pleasantly surprised at the great turnout, especially with the weather,” said District Attorney Kristy Sprague. “I think we had an important message to get out there, and the response today shows people are listening.”

“Part of the reason we decided to do the CARE Fair was to highlight all the programs that are available for residents of Essex County,” said Susan Kelley, director of the Essex County Task Force against Domestic Violence.

Representatives from many of those programs were available at the CARE Fair to answer questions, and a directory of the various services was made available to participants.

This year, the CARE Fair combined with another event that began last year: The Bringing Essex County’s Strengths Together (BEST) Walk, a program aimed at supporting youth in their decision to avoid underage drinking and drunk driving.

“By bringing the two events together, we were able to

combine our resources and make one really strong event,” said Mike Mascarenas of the Essex County Youth Bureau.

Free “Above the Influence” t-shirts were given away to youth participating in the walk, and all could enter into drawings for other prizes, including an iPod Touch.

Mascarenas said the underage drinking message was particularly important with prom and graduation season approaching.

“We’ve got a lot of the older kids here today, and it’s important for people to see how they’re not part of the problem; they’re part of the solution,” he said. “It gives them a different perspective on kids when you see them doing good things.”

Local law enforcement played a big role in the event, performing child seat safety checks, and facilitating a simulation where youth attempted to steer around obstacles wearing “drunk vision” goggles.

Patrolman Randy Bevins of the Ticonderoga Police Department was one of several people helping with a bike safety rodeo, which drew upward of 75 youth, giving away free bike helmets.

“What people don’t realize is that bicycles are subject to the same rule of the road that vehicles are,” Bevins said. “I think that’s one of the biggest risks to public safety for kids.”

Members of Placid Planet Bicycle Club volunteered their services for the bike rodeo, performing safety checks on bicycles and helping with helmet fittings.

“The club just wants to support safe bicycling in any way,” said club member Steve Elberd.

Budget From page 1 Superintendent Gail Else reviewed the aspects of the proposed budget, which includes a zero-percent tax levy increase.

Else highlighted how a 10-percent reduction in the school’s state aid contributed heavily to a $722,000 gap the district needed to fill to avoid any increase in the tax levy.

This after the state delayed nearly $400,000 in promised aid earlier this year.

“I think we need to have some grave concern for the sources of our funds,” Else said.

Meanwhile, enrollment is expected to continue its steady decline from the past six years, especially in the elementary grades.

“We are kind of getting to the point where we can’t really afford what we would like to do,” said Else, “so what can you do to make what we would like to do less costly?”

According to Else, reducing four elementary teaching positions and combining classes would bring the average class size to 19 with classrooms ranging between 14 and 25 children. If teaching assistants and aides are included, the student to staff ratio would be seven to one.

Besides cutting staff, the budget freezes salaries for non-instructional staff, including the superintendent.

Still, many in attendance at the public hearing felt the cuts to staff ran too deep.

“We felt the budget cuts were handled inappropriately,” said first grade teacher Robin Jones on behalf of the ELCS Teachers’ Association, noting how cost-cutting ideas brought by teachers in budget workshops were seemingly ignored.

“Instead of working together on saving

OPEN RS U 24 HO

C o u n t r y s id e Fuels

money, heavy cuts were made to faculty,” she added.

Jones said the teachers were “shocked and hurt” by the way teachers were notified of the layoffs, especially having been given no prior indication of possible cuts to staff.

“I would like to think that someone would have come back to the teachers and said, ‘we have to cut this much money; what other ideas do you have?’” said AIS/math teacher Deborah Egglefield.

“We just don’t feel that we’ve been included in the budget process,” she added.

Many of the parents present at the meeting shared similar concerns, complaining how teacher positions were bearing the brunt of budget cuts.

“We feel that our ideas were heard, but not considered,” said Karin DeMuro, who is running for a seat on the school board. “We urge you to respect the community by revising and re-allocating the funds.”

Several others echoed that sentiment, including ELCS students Zach Denton and Brody Hooper, who read letters to the school board opposing the cuts.

Hooper, a freshman, said the decision to cut the half-time Spanish teacher position interfered with his education.

“It holds me back from receiving an Advanced Regents diploma unless I take a special course that does not fit in with my class schedule,” he said.

Still, with so many people urging for revision of the budget, members of the school board refused to take another look.

“As difficult as that decision was to make, I think that was the right decision,” said

Brett Sicola, the most recent addition to the school board.

Sicola said he would like to see more cuts made, including possibly consolidating clerical or administrative positions, but said he

would not cut one job to save another.

“We’re not going to reallocate the funds at all,” said board president William Haseltine.

A date of May 20 was set for the next board meeting.

The best things in life aren’t things T he year was 1979 and I was relishing in the thought of accompanying my father, brother and uncles on our annual trip to our fishing cabin deep in the Canadian outback.

At the time, the brook trout there were nearly as plentiful as the black flies and fish in the five- and six-pound classes were not uncommon.

We’d laugh, enjoy each other ’s company and forget about the day-to-day worries we’d left behind. The fish were a treat to catch, but were secondary to the camaraderie of close family.

It was from these trips that my love of the woods and water first emerged, and I owe a lot of that to my father for introducing me.

So when I had an opportunity recently to

repay at least part of that favor, I jumped at the chance.

My Dad turned 75 on May 2. In recognition, he had one simple request: to celebrate his birthday with his two sons on a brook trout pond.

I began planning several months ago to make that request a reality and spent the last week fishing with my Dad in the St. Regis Canoe Area.

The trip was everything I knew it could be — a flashback to the days when my father was the one working so my brother and I could experience the pristine beauty of a glass-like pond at first light, capped by the

Happy birthday, Dad. John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications and an avid outdoorsman. His column appears regularly. He may be reached at johng@denpubs.com.

fight of a spunky brook trout.

I don’t think I’ve seen my father laugh so much in years and upon our return, he told me he will never forget his 75th birthday.

Neither will I, Dad. Nor will I forget who I have to thank for showing me that the best things in life aren’t things.

Hannaford store to open in Lake Placid

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — Hannaford Supermarkets has announced it will open a new store in Lake Placid.

Representatives from the New England area supermarket chain announced May 12 that it has signed a lease agreement for a 40,500-square foot store in the former Tops Market site in Cold Brook Plaza.

The store is projected to open in spring 2011 and will feature a butcher shop, produce and seafood departments, a bakery, deli, and fullservice pharmacy.

“Our closest current location is in Plattsburgh, which is a 45-minute drive from Lake Placid,” said Hannaford spokesman Michael Norton in a press release. “We look forward to providing area residents and visitors with an easy-to-shop Hannaford supermarket that offers a range of fresh, high-quality foods at great value and a convenient pharmacy.”

North Elba supervisor Roby Politi said the addition of the Hannaford store brings more diversity and competition to an area that already serves as a major shopping center for the surrounding region.

“We see it as a very positive aspect of growth in our village,” he said, “especially at a time when everything else seems so negative.”

Politi said he and Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall have been working with Hannaford representatives for the past year and were happy to bring in a supermarket that showed sustainability.

“We knew that Hannaford was very highly respected in the business, both from a quality standpoint and from a financial standpoint,” he said.

The store is expected to employ 100 associates, which Norton said would be hired mainly from surrounding communities.

“It’s going to bring approximately 40 full-time jobs and 50 part-time jobs,” said Politi. “That’s going to be good for all our local people.”

ALBANY — Gov. Paterson’s recent actions in delaying school aid payments will force school district taxpayers across New York to shoulder an additional financial burden, according to the head of the New York State School Boards Association.

In March, Gov. David Paterson delayed the payment of $2.1 billion, and School Board Association Executive Director Timothy Kremer said that Paterson is merely shifting the state’s financial shortfall on local taxpayers.

“To cover this delay in state aid, local officials are going to have to borrow money and pay interest on those funds or remove money from interest-bearing reserve funds,” he said. “Either way, it is yet another cost the state is passing on to districts and local taxpayers.”

A recent poll indicates that 56 percent of school board members from districts across

the state believe the best way to make up for the delayed aid payments is to use reserve funds.

About 18 percent said they would vote for districts to borrow money, while another 14 percent called for spending freezes.

Kremer added that 39 percent of districts in New York would not have enough in reserve to cover delayed payments.

Two-thirds of board members say the budget delay is impacting budgeting decisions for 2010-11.

“This delay is a double-whammy to schools,” Kremer said. “Not only is it forcing them to scramble to find money to pay their bills today, but it is affecting their budgets for next year.”

Many local schools had planned for delays in state aid payments this year. But the cuts proposed by Paterson in the 2010-11 state budget are forcing districts across the Adirondacks to plan for layoffs and program cutbacks.

Red Storm bests EKMW in track

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — With nearly half their team not competing, the combined team for Elizabethtown/Keene/Moriah/Westport had a tough time putting up a fight against either the boys or girls teams from Saranac Lake in CVAC track and field action May 6.

EKMW put up no competition in several events, including long jump, triple jump, 400 hurdles and 110 hurdles. Still, eighth grader Kyle VanBuren captured the 3,200 for the boys and Rebecca Pellerin took first in the 1,500 for the girls.

The Red Storm got key performances from Forrest Morgan and Dylan Dawson with wins in three events. Alex Beaudoin, Josh Quinn, Ben Monty, Craig Leahy and Sean Ryan each won two events as the boys cruised to victory despite being without senior sprinter Jake Vuolo.

Vanessa Salamy chipped in for wins at three different distances for the Saranac Lake girls while Kendra Leonidas, Annie Frenette, Maggie Darrah, Julie Bowler, Alexis Smith, and Rhonwen Jones each won two events.

Saranac Lake senior Dylan Dawson widens his margin just before crossing the finish line in the 800 meters ahead of EKMW runner Zach Allott. Dawson also contributed to wins in the 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter relay for the Red Storm in the May 8 meet.
