Horace Nye Task Force tabs Centers for Specialty Care

PARADE SCOUTS

ELIZABETHTOWN REGIONAL

Two weeks, two car shows set PAGE 4 WESTPORT

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Members of the Horace Nye Task Force have made their recommendation to sell the Essex County owned nursing home to Centers for Specialty Care.

Members of the Horace Nye Task Force sub-committee overwhelmingly showed their support for the New York City-based care provider who also operate 15 facilities in the state, according to Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley, who sits on the committee.

The task force committee then voted to follow the subcommittees recommendation May 29.

“As the supervisor of Elizabethtown, I am looking for a nursing home operator that would be a good community member,” Bartley said. “I believe that this nursing home group would be a good member of the Elizabethtown community.”

Department of Public Health Director Linda Beers, who served as an alternate and advisor to the sub-committee, echoed Bartley's recommendation.

“Centers for specialty care seem to be doing a far better job than any of the other places that I had called on,” Beers said. “Not all places received great reports, but all of the places that we

Students learn about environment at CCE Field Days in Westport

Bridge Continued from page 1 to a New York State Department of Transportation spokesperson Carol Breen. The current bridge will be replaced with a new concrete structure and will have a total construction cost of about $1.3 million.

The construction will begin June 4 and will reduce the traffic on the bridge to alternating one way. The project’s completion date is set for late November.

To prepare for the construction, DOT has installed two temporary traffic lights on either side of the bridge. Breen said it is important for drivers to take notice of the “No Turn on Red” for the traffic light at the intersection of Route 73 and Route 9N. “It’s important that drivers obey the traffic law to eliminate a possible head-on collisions on the bridge,” Breen said.

Keene Town Supervisor William Ferebee said the bridge repair is a much needed project to ensure driver ’s safety. The bridge was included in the state’s overall Capital Program based on its deteriorating condition.

WESTPORT — Students from schools throughout Essex County got the chance to get out of the classroom while learning about their environment.

The 28th Annual Essex County Environmental Field Days were held at the county fairgrounds in Westport on Tuesday, May 22 and Thursday, May 24.

The event was organized by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Essex County, along with Linda Gillilland of the 4H program and Dave Reckhan and Tiffany Pinheiro of the Essex County Soil and Water District.

“All of the instructors here are donating their time and knowledge to make this program possible,” Gillilland said.

“We were a little damp on Tuesday, but Thursday was a great day.”

Schools rotated through a number of exhibits talking about the environment, which included: •Turkey Talk with Dick Harwood; •Tree Planting with CCE Master Gardeners Linda Deyo and Kathy Linker; •Maple Production with maple intern Perry Babcock; •Energy with Cornell Cooperative Extension educator Peter Hagar; •Natural Horsemanship with 4-H Horse Member Charity McLaughlin; •Meat Goats with Rookery Ranch farmers Nicky Frechette and Helene Watrous; •Soil Science with NRCS soil scientist Gerry Smith; •Dairy Cows with 4-H dairy members Emily French, Ian Pierce and Owen Pierce; •Climate and Weather with AuSable Valley science teacher and meteorologist Gib Brown; and •Photo Morphogenesis with CCE Baker Research Farm Director Mike Davis.

Students also enjoyed a lunch on the fairgrounds as part of the event.

safe for traffic,” Breen said.

The Capital Program manages 2,818 lane miles of highway and more than 800 bridges.

Construction plans were finalized last fall by the program and opened up for bids in January. DOT later awarded the project to Watertown based company, Bette & Cring, after coming in with the lowest bid.

As far as a travel delay, Ferebee said the most people will be expected to wait would be three minutes. The wait will give visitors to the Adirondacks an opportunity to stop and enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape he said.

“It’s going to be an inconvenience but it won’t be a long-term inconvenience,” Ferebee said.

Currently, workers are preparing the site for construction, and a DOT sign is informing travelers of the upcoming closure. Other preliminary work has included equipment mobilization and other site preparation.

On Monday, June 11, road repaving will start for the section of Route 86 between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid.

Motorists should expect delays with the Route 73 and Route 86 construction.

Innovation is the route to our future

I

n recent decades, life in the Adirondacks — particularly in the remote areas — has become challenging for yearround residents.

With traditional Adirondack-based industries hampered by competition from overseas and tightened government regulations, goodpaying jobs have disappeared.

Our communities shrank due to limited employment opportunities. School enrollments diminished across the Adirondacks by more than 30 percent as families moved out to seek a more promising future.

These trends, confirmed several years ago by the Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project report, raised alarm over how many Adirondack communities are threatened.

There is a prevailing force, however, that has been working in the opposite direction.

Innovation.

It’s a matter of exploring revolutionary approaches and devising out-of-the-box solutions to long-standing problems.

There are plenty of examples of how such an approach has proven successful.

This week, Newcomb Central School scheduled a dinner to celebrate their largest enrollment in 25 years — 101 students, a record in recent years. Only six years ago, their K-12 enrollment was 55, down from about 400 several decades ago.

Back in 2006, the school administrators, under the leadership of School Superintendent Clark “Skip” Hults, didn’t resign themselves to impending extinction.

Instead, they devised a program of recruiting international students who have traditionally sought out private schools in the U.S. The program has been wildly successful, bringing additional income into the school district while enriching the educational experience for local children through boosted cultural diversity.

Based on the success of the program, the school administrators are now seeking to establish a dormitory, or secure student housing by the conversion of existing residences.

Such a move could boost the district’s revenue by $1 million, or about 20 percent, offering relief to local taxpayers.

The Newcomb district’s revolutionary thinking goes further than hosting international students and a residential program.

The district is also drafting a program through which students can graduate from Newcomb Central with both a high school

diploma and a two-year college degree.

Forty-four miles southeast, another example of ingenuity shows a lot of promise for remote Adirondack communities and their economic revival.

Broadband access — seen as crucial to tourism and economic development as well as local residents’ quality of life — has been regarded as economically unfeasible due to the burdensome cost of infrastructure needed to provide broadband for a meager population spread over mountainous terrain.

But in Thurman, town officials decided to shoulder some risks and innovate.

The town is partnering with a Chestertown-based entrepreneur to bring broadband to its 1,200 residents, most of whom rely on near-useless dial-up. The Thurman town board voted several weeks ago to commit $20,000 to testing cutting-edge “white space” technology which would broadcast data over unused frequencies traditionally reserved for analog television transmission.

The project, which has gained national attention, holds a promise of affordably connecting its citizens to the Internet, now seen as a virtual necessity of modern life.

While there’s a considerable amount that’s been accomplished in reviving our economies, more challenges lie ahead.

Most of our communities’ downtowns still host too many vacant buildings — idle primarily due to the high cost of heating and cooling as well as burdensome taxation.

While Chestertown is struggling with how to revive rows of empty storefronts, their town government is taking action on exploring ways of slashing the cost of heating its own facilities through the use of wood chips or pellets.Already, the town government has installed arrays of solar panels to provide electricity and cut its utility costs.

Such technologies could help efforts to revitalize our downtowns, experts have said.

All these examples demonstrate that innovative thinking can overcome the longstanding problems we face in the Adirondacks — and we at Denton Publications hail the practice.

Parenting in Transition

Response to column To the Valley News: In answer to the question posed by the editorial, “Is health care moving in the right direction?”, I could have answered, “NO,” without much of any effort to dig into what would come next in the discussion. Our medical system is broke, and as big a change as the legislation Obama signed seems, it doesn’t scratch the surface to get to all the major ailments.

Truly, though, I don’t see how legislation, which guarantees insurance to all DenPub employees and saves $100,000 for a small business in the process, is eroding American freedoms. If ANYTHING ought to be an entitlement, should it not be medical care?

I understand there is a huge potential downslide incurred by resorting to big government entitlements, and the money has to come from our pockets, ultimately. Nevertheless, it seems to me that social security and unemployment insurance, for examples, are almost Godsends, or our whole country would be in the throes of deep agony of all sorts, right now. So, what freedom would we be gaining by eliminating those entitlements—or guaranteed medical insurance for more people? I really don’t get it.

I don’t know what we should do, really.

But, I value attempts made in a positive direction, no matter how small. If I could see something concrete being lost as a result of this itsy bitsy step in the right direction, I might not go for it, either, but… $100,000 further in the black for a small business somehow still seems like a good thing to me I appreciate the detail laid out in this editorial; it provides the substance needed for a good dialog.

Planning input sought To the Valley News: Last year the town of Elizabethtown applied for and received a Smart Growth Grant to update our town’s comprehensive plan. As rule of thumb, comprehensive plans should be updated every five years or so. Our plan has not been updated in over 30 years!

In all, the process will take about two years to complete. It will entail a townwide survey, compilation of data, mapping, public hearings and many, many meetings. Through a public participation process, community members can help build consensus for a vision of our town’s future. Planning will protect our town by encouraging proper development, maintaining and enhancing the character of our community and helping to ensure the sense of place and community that is Elizabethtown.

After a series of workshops, public meeting notices will be published in this paper and throughout town, and everyone is encouraged to participate. This is an opportunity for all of us to work together and to have a say in our town’s future. So stay tuned and get involved!

Failing to plan is planning to fail.

Evelyn Hatch Vice-chair Elizabethtown Planning Board

Thanks to EMS workers To the Valley News: As a physician and community member, I offer my sincere thanks to the local EMS personnel.

Anyone who has ever had to dial 9-1-1 or be rushed to the emergency room with a lifethreatening problem has firsthand knowledge of the skill, dedication and unique expertise that the local emergency medical services team provides. As a physician, I appreciate the care afforded to those with medical emergencies by our local EMS personnel.

EMS workers perform in incredibly stressful situations. They help people who are often severely injured, facing death, in pain and terrified. They assess victims and perform life-saving procedures; while remaining calm and focused in the process. EMS professionals are available 24 hours a day; they work all night long, on holidays and during family celebrations to serve our community.

Our emergency room relies on the skill of EMS workers. Their work begins “at the scene”, taking care of people, providing infor-

mation to the hospital, beginning the life-saving treatment required and then delivering those patients to the emergency department.

They are truly on medicine’s “front line.” I am proud to be associated with this incredible group of people.

We can’t thank our EMS partners enough for their commitment. I ask that you join me and Elizabethtown Community Hospital in celebrating and thanking our local EMS teams.

Dr. Rob DeMuro, medical director Elizabethtown Community Hospital

EMS workers important To the Valley News: Last week, EMS Week offered Elizabethtown Community Hospital an opportunity to reflect on the important role of the EMS worker. Last week, this week, and every week, EMS workers deserve many thanks for all that they do.

Each time I hear the fire whistle, the siren of an ambulance, each time I see a fire truck, and each time I hear the rotors of a helicopter outside the hospital, I think about about this group of incredibly special people who rush to help our community members during their time of greatest need. EMS workers arrive exactly when they’re needed the most, ready to give their best to those who are sick, injured, in pain and terrified.

Living in a rural community, EMS workers – volunteers, most of them – are friends, neighbors, co-workers and community members. Their response to medical emergencies, accidents, fires, and other (often) dangerous situations, ensures that people ultimately receive the medical care that they need.

On behalf of Elizabethtown Community Hospital’s board of directors, administration, management and all staff members, I’d like to extend our thanks to each and every EMS worker. Thanks for your time, dedication, compassion, commitment and devotion to the community. Our organization understands exactly how EMS workers contribute to quality patient care. Everyone affiliated with this hospital gives our unwavering respect and support. We know that each and every one of you will continue to give us your best. ECH is proud to be your partner in health care.

Rod Boula, CEO Elizabethtown Community Hospital

GUESTVIEWPOINT Clarification on recent Essex County jail articles

T

o clarify a recent article and “disbelief” expressed both at the County meeting and in comments online: New York State closed our old jail as outdated, dangerous and inadequate. We were paying between $500,000 and $750,000 per year to house overflow inmates out of county in addition to transportation to and from courts.

As such, the county was forced to build a new facility or face between $1 and $2 million per year in boarding costs and transportation.

Upon the recommendation of experts who studied incarceration trends, the county elected to build a 120 bed facility that would handle Essex County needs for the next 30 years. With taxpayers in mind, we planned to fill beds not needed for Essex County’s immediate needs with boarders from other jurisdictions to generate revenue. Between the fall of 2008 and the end of April 2012, we have brought $4.665 million dollars into Essex County coffers from these boarders.

Yes, the building was one of the largest expenditures in Essex County history. But it also includes the county 9-1-1 center and a wing for the New York State Police who pay a significant amount of rent for their space.

My point at the recent meeting was that the Correctional Facility exists for Essex County inmates and is staffed in accordance with New York State standards. In

the absence of boarders, we would still have the bond and staff for Essex County inmates.

Inmate housing generates cost. That cost is in food, clothing, hygiene supplies and such. EXCLUDING the base cost of the jail which Essex County had to build and staff anyway, I took any costs related to inmate services and developed a cost per day per inmate.

We had over 29,000 inmate days in 2011, given the entire cost of food and related inmate costs, this translates to a cost of $7.92 per day per inmate for our entire inmate population. In other words, each inmate through the door, costs you, the taxpayer an additional $7.92 per day to feed, clothe, provide for personal hygiene and building cleaning.

When applied to the 13,870 days that boarder inmates spent in Essex County in 2011, the additional costs for boarders amounted to slightly less than $110,000. In return, we were able to bring in revenue of $1.323 million dollars. Our officers have taken on this additional work load without any additional compensation and are doing an impressive and professional job as well.

We also have a stake in this as we are residents and taxpayers too.

Naturally, this does not include the staffing, bond or utilities as that was not my intent. Consider the costs of your local hotel/motel. Regardless of whether there are 5 rooms rented or 100 rooms rented,

you still need to pay a mortgage, a desk clerk, an accountant, cleaning staff, maintenance people, etc. With more rooms rented the costs for laundry and cleaning increase but nowhere near the revenue from room rentals. With increased revenue, the net costs then decrease. My net budget for 2011 is less than 2007 when we were boarding out inmates and very close to 2008 net.

My intent was to answer the oft repeated question as to whether the boarders were “worth it”. Moving from an unsafe 19th century jail to a modern facility was necessary. Now we are doing the best we can for the county with our resources.Without boarders, my annual budget would be reduced by that $110,000 but in return, we would not be bringing in that $1.3 million to ease the tax burden on the citizens of Essex County either.

I was elected by you, the people of Essex County to provide a fiscally responsible level of service, both in public safety and in incarcerating those ordered here by the courts. With 35 years of experience with the Sheriff ’s Office, rising from Deputy Sheriff through the ranks to Sheriff, I have experience in the operations and budgeting of this agency. I believe I have done my best to both provide public safety services to the people of the county and to run the correctional facility in the manner that will be the least burden on the taxpayer as well.

Richard Cutting Essex County Sheriff

ot too many years ago, it seemed that there was a common understanding about parenting. Parents offered shelter, food, clothes and nurturing.

Parents disciplined children as they saw fit, including corporal punishment at times. Parents guided their children KidsByCount along a path that would Scot Hurlburt end up in their children doing a little better than them and to otherwise lead a lawful and productive life.

Not only did parents have a common understanding of their role, most youth also had a common understanding of their roles. Get an education, employment, marriage, children and a yearly vacation just like mom and dad.

Back in the day fathers were not terribly involved; a man of my Dad’s generation who changed diapers and bathed the babies would have been seen as very odd. Father’s primary roles were as the bread winner and the disciplinarian. Now fathers are involved in all aspects of childcare and in most households the work would not get done as so many mothers work outside the home.

Most parents no longer employ corporal punishment but instead reason with their children when disputes or difficulties arise.

Years ago, the traditional family was reinforced in the media and popular culture. The Walton’s, the Wonder Years and Happy Days were a few examples of the strengths of television shows with mom and dad squarely at the head of the family structure.

Today, few mainstream televisions shows or popular movies do much to support the traditional view of the family. So many examples of shows exist that undermine family unity, family values and family stability that it would be difficult to choose one, though many contemporary reality shows come to mind.

The media has helped to redefine youthful aspiration and what success is. Many young people today might feel very successful if a video they did went viral or they were on a reality show. These aspirations are a titanic departure from a success definition twenty or more years ago. While there is much light in the modern definition of family, there is also much darkness in my estimation.

The media has redefined broken homes as normal, maybe this development is good as children or adults should not be punished or stigmatized for such developments. These messages may be part of a larger phenomenon where the issue of permanency is being challenged.

Many children have seen parents lose their jobs; lose their pensions or health insurance.

As we continue to experience high divorce rates and job losses, children may be learning that the loyalties that existed in marriage or between employer and employee are only temporary. These factors may contribute to an ever expanding philosophy of I am going to get mine and I don’t really care what happens to you.

In a culture where winning at all costs is the dominant theme, there are too many losers and to many outsiders. As parents work more hours for less pay, as is the pattern now, children are more and more being left to their own devices. Technological devices very often are filling the void.

As children experience the world more and more at a technological distance, they further remove themselves from their parents, people who did not and cannot experience this dramatic change in the way humans communicate.

In addition, the essential nature of families has changed. In 2011, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that for the first time in American history, married couples are in the minority at 49%. Clearly, we are a culture that is in transition, possibly on a level that may be unprecedented.

While the style of parenting has changed, the environment in which parents must act as parents has changed as well. Many of these influences create uncertainty. Financial questions abound, will there be a job to stabilize the home. Will there be enough money for extracurricular events and later attending college?

At the same time, many parents are wondering if they will ever retire as retirement accounts are at the mercy of the stock market and the long dark shadows cast over social security are getting darker and longer.

Still, with all the changes and uncertainty, one certainty remains. Give your time and affection to your children talk to them peacefully and reasonably and you will have done as many parents have done across time, done the best that they could for their children.

Remember, all kids count.

I

received an email from J. Rodney Stone, the Flag Day Chairman of the Keeseville Elks Lodge #2072. This year ’s annual Flag Day Service will be Sunday, June 10, at 1 p.m. at the Veterans’ Park in Keeseville weather permitting.

Last year ’s service was very well attended and an extremely wonderful event, and this year should be all that much more a memorable event after all the work that has been put into Veteran’s Park over the year. If the weather is not cooperating than the services will be held at the pavilion at the back of the Elk’s Lodge. Of course this event is open to the public and a truly wonderful experience where spectators will see our flag truly honoured as well as learn the history of the flag and many interesting facts about this important symbol of our country. Many thanks to the Elks for putting together such an important event so well.

I managed to get to the opening weekend of Big Daddy’s BBQ at Pleasant Corners Restaurant and had a great time as

usual. If you enjoy barbeques make sure to go there Friday through Sunday.

Summer is practically here and I’ve been quiet about my yard as it has been its usual jungle that I’m sure my neighbours are just thrilled about, but thanks to a great Memorial Day weekend I managed to get the jungle tamed (or more accurately, my son and a friend did the taming!) and saw a lot of work around Keeseville at the same time. I really need to do some research and see how our community has changed and developed over the years from Ander ’s Falls to the Keeseville I know and love.

Now that Memorial Day weekend is past us local students are on their final stretch before ending another school year and starting summer vacation. I wish the best of luck to all students with their studies and to all athletes finishing up their seasons with qualifiers and state championships. This is the first time in over ten years that I’m not part of that energy and I do miss it. Again, best of luck to all students, faculty and staff of all our local schools.

wo weeks ago it was EMS Week, which may have had something to do with the flurry of EMS calls we've had recently—at one point last week, we had four calls in a 24-hour period. We were a little strapped, since our captain, Ben Sudduth, was away serving his country in the National Guard, and he is a frequent responder. Fortunately, we also have some new members in the ambulance squad, and it was great to see new faces on those and other calls. Sheera Broderick, who's also a Wadhams firefighter, is now on the ambulance squad, as are Virginia Dorsey, Diane Dodd, and Bill Dodd.

It's great to see new members coming in—some younger, some older, some experienced, some less so. None of that really matters so much. What they share is an eagerness to help, and that, of course, is the main thing. Hopefully, some of these new members will eventually take the course to certify as EMTs, although that doesn't really matter so much either. As I've observed before, you don't have to be an EMT to help. You can still perform an important

role as an attendant, or even decide to qualify as a driver. Every ambulance run needs at least an EMT, and attendant, and a driver.

It always surprises me to realize that many people don't know that emergency response in Westport relies entirely on volunteers, whether in the fire department or the ambulance squad. And that means people like Sheera, Virginia, Diane, and Bill.

People who live right here—they are your friends, neighbors, and family members. In the old days, the fire department and ambulance squad had a waiting list. Those days are long gone and we urgently need new members. If you're interested in helping, I hope you'll consider joining. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have at the e-mail address above.

Next week I'll have full details on the Duck Derby on June 17, to support the Wadhams Volunteer Fire Company. Cash prizes are $250, $100, and $50, plus many others, and it's only five bucks a duck.

Meantime, buy your tickets at Dogwood Bread Company or from any Wadhams firefighter.

his week, the NCPCA would like to remind you of our exciting event; “Artists for Animals,” an art show hosted by The Lake Placid Center for the Arts to benefit our shelter, from June 1 through 16.

The show’s theme is “works of art with animals in mind,” and features paintings, drawings, sculpture, and other media by national and local artists. All art is available for sale, and proceeds will go to the NCSPCA’s Capital Campaign to build a new shelter for the needy dogs and cats of Essex County. An opening reception will be held on Friday, June 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts (17 Algonquin Drive, Lake Placid. www.LakePlacidArts.org. 5232512). Everyone is welcome; the exhibit is suitable for children. We would like to thank the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, and the many artists presenting their work at the show, for their support of this benefit. The Lake Placid Center for the Arts Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m.

he season is off to a great start with the Memorial Day weekend, many of our seasonal residents are getting their places open for the summer. Ethel’s Dew Drop In is now open and every time I pass by the parking lot is full. There seems to be so many activities around, it would be hard to take even a small portion of them in, yard and garage sales, movies, events at the Willsboro lanes, the Furniture warehouse open and sales. A couple of open houses for property up for sale. Some burials for loved ones that passed away this winter; one special one was a parade of tractors that escorted Spencer Stafford’s Jr.’s body to the cemetary.

Several restaurants are open once again like Bay View Inn and Old Dock House and hard to believe that Johnny’s Sports Bar was celebrating their 1st year anniversary this past weekend. The traditional Memorial Day Ceremony always draws a large crowd and they do a great job of honoring our veterans.

Many families are proud to celebrate the college graduations of members in their family.

he hamlet of Essex has come to life for the summer, with shops open, people on the sidewalks enjoying the warm weather and confused out of state SUV drivers trying to figure it all out. The art gallery has its first show up, Pantouf is open for business, the ice cream shop has expanded with café items, the deli by marina and its outpost next to the art gallery are operating, the Old Dock is open, Renew is open and the Inn and Pink Pig never closed. It’s a lively hotbed of commerce downtown. Let’s hope for good weather and lots of visitors.

Here in the western, less crowded section of town, we’re enjoying an influx of bobolinks. These are small blackbirds that nest right on the ground in open grassland.

The males are black with bright white patches on their backs, and as is true with so many birds, the females get a comparatively dull set of feathers, in this case light brown.

Bobolinks are endangered because of loss of habitat and modern farming practices. When farmers used to cut hay just once a year, late in July, the young birds had a chance to ma-

This lovely little lady has been with us for quite awhile now, and is hoping to celebrate her next birthday in a home of her own. Shoeshine is purrfectly delighful to have around. She has excellent manners, keeps a very tidy house and loves to have her chin scratched. She enjoys the company of other cats and has a gentle, easygoing nature that would make her a wonderful addition to almost any home. The only promise we can't make is that she would actually shine your shoes! Why not stop by the shelter today and meet this pretty kitty? You won't be sorry you did.

ture. Nowadays, most farmers take the first cutting in May. Bobolinks spend the winter in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay, where they are called “rice birds” because they feed on rice crops and are considered a nuisance.

They are hunted for food in Jamaica as they migrate north, where they’re called “butter birds” because of the fat they put on eating rice. There are lots of open fields around here that are not commercially farmed, which gives the birds a chance to raise their young.

In addition to bobolinks, we’re seeing what seems like a lot more bicyclists this year going by our place. The ones I’ve talked to are usually from Quebec or Vermont, and are uniformly delighted with the roads and scenery. These are not shoe-string backpackers, but well-off visitors looking for nice places to eat and spend a night.

Those property owners displeased with their assessments may protest on Grievance Day, which will be June 12 in the Town Hall from 4 to 8. Fill out a form RP 524 and be prepared to show where the assessors went wrong.

Horace Nye Continued from page 1 study of the organizations had helped her clear her mind on some issues.

“I had not made up my mind, and I am the only one that is going to have to make this decision in my town,” Bartley said. “I respect the residents and the employees, but I have to do what is best for the town of Elizabethtown. After this visit, I very much believe in them and am sleeping more comfortably at night.”

The sub-committee, led by chairman and Lewis Supervisor David Blades, presented the findings of his group during a special task force committee meeting May 29 following the monthly Ways and Means Committee meeting.

“Each one of us discussed it..., and we all felt that the Centers for Specialty Care would be the best fit for Essex County,” Blades said.

Blades explained the work that his group did during their visits to several nursing home and care facilities operated by the three organizations that had placed bids on Horace Nye: Centers for Specialty Care based in New York City; Gerald Wood, CPA, out of Nassau County and Elliot Management Group out of Rockland County.

The committee was comprised of supervisors Blades, Bartley and Sue Montgomery Corey of Minerva, along with Horace Nye nurse Sabrina Westover, county Office for the Aging Director Patty Bashaw and Beers.

Each of the members of the task force spoke highly of their experiences at the four sites owned by Centers for Specialty Care.

Corey specifically addressed the question of Medicaid patients, which she did not believe would be a problem.

“Medicaid patients were most of the beds, and they are committed to doing the same thing if they are to come here,” Corey said.

After the presentation, County

Board Chairman Randy Douglas thanked the board for their work and stressed that they were an independent committee.

“When I appointed this committee, I had no previous conversations with any of them,” Douglas said. “I knew Patty and Linda would give us their honest input. Everyone knows where I am and everyone knows where Tom was. I tried to put a committee together that was unbiased and would come back with the best opinion.”

“What you have not heard is a report on the other two that submitted bids,” Blades said.

“I think they answered our problems,” Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell said.

“We can see that you put in an awful lot of effort and were very, very realistic,” Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington said.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava questioned the sub-committee on the organization’s spending and financial practices, including if employees make the same after the transition in other counties that Centers for Specialty Care had taken over.

“Did we get a chance to look at their financials?” Scozzafava asked. “It just seems to me that the money that they are making is in the rehab. There has to be some rhyme or reason how they are operating in the black when they are paying comparable wages as we do at Horace Nye.” “For the people that were there, they are getting what they were getting,” Corey said. “That may change when new hires come in, and I would say that the rates are right in the ballpark with what we have.”

Scozzafava said he wanted to know if the Centers for Specialty Care was in the black.

“If we sell this home to a corporation that goes belly-up in the next five years, then we are going to have a big problem with beds here in Essex County,” Scozzafava said.

The sub-committee did not report on

Valley News - 9

their visits to the other two sites, stating that they felt the Centers for Specialty Care was the superior operation.

Elliot Management had the highest bid of $4,100,000, while Centers for Specialty Care bid $4,050,000 and Gerald Wood bid the base $4,000,000.

“The reason we didn't look at Elliot was because they did not meet what we were looking for as far as skilled nursing,” Blades said. “They were all assisted living and that is not what we want here in the county. It just did not meet what we were looking for.”

Blades also explained where the committee felt Wood fell short.

“They gave a very good presentation, but my concern was that they operate one nursing home and maybe we need to let the future determine if that operation is going to be sufficient,” Blades said.

During the Ways and Means Committee meeting, Scozzafava moved for a resolution calling on the board to hold a public hearing before any final vote was made on the potential sale.

The vote was defeated by a 9-9 vote.

“How could anybody, any elected member oppose holding a public information meeting?” Scozzafava asked.

Scozzafava also tried several times to stop the recommendation of the Horace Nye Task Force, asking for several points of order but was turned back each time by county attorney Daniel Manning and task force Chairman Roby Politi of North Elba.

The full Board of Supervisors will next meet on Monday, June 4, where the recommendation will have to be moved by 12 members of the board in order to be entertained as a motion.

If the matter is voted on, it will need to pass by a two-thirds majority vote, needing 2,611 of 3,916 allocated weighted votes.

Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow, who attended the Ways and Means Committee meeting, were the only supervisor not present for the tack force meeting.

State Police Troop B pauses for Memorial Service at Ray Brook HQ Raymond J. Chippendale honored

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — Members of the New York State Police paused to honor those who have sacrificed all in the line of duty.

The NYSP held Memorial Services at the Troop B headquarters in Ray Brook Wednesday, May 23, with special honor given to Trooper Raymond John Chippendale.

Chippendale, who was 27 in

1932, was fatally injured while operating his motorcycle on the Watertown-Carthage Road near the village of Carthage, according to the NYSP Wall of Honor website. The accident occurred at the same curve on which another Trooper had been injured just two years before.

Chippendale had joined the Division of State Police on June 1, 1930, and had been recently transferred to the Adams station.

“On this day we pause of a brief moment to pay tribute to those who have made their final patrol,” Troop B Commander Rick Smith said. “All

Charles P. Washburn Westport, New York June 10, 1945 - May 24, 2012

Charles (Joe) Washburn, 66, of Westport, New York, passed away suddenly doing what he loved; driving his log truck home from the Ticonderoga Mill with his wife, Jean. He was born June 10, 1945 in Elizabethtownm N.Y. Son of Philip and Ruth Washburn. He was a very hard worker all of his life , working various positions until he opened his own logging business in 1984. Joe was devoted to his family. He was loved very much be all of his family. He was a husband, a father, a grandfather and uncle. Joe knew many people and touched many hearts by lending a helping hand, while never expecting anything in return.

Survivors include his wife Jean Washburn; children, Todd Washburn and Crystal Gowdy; grandchildren, Brian Gay, Michael Gowdy, Cody Gowdy and Miley Dickerson; Mother, Ruth Washburn; two sisters, Phillis Washburn and Margaret Bronson and several nieces and nephews.

that our fallen heroes sacrificed must be remembered.”

According to Smith, 126 members of the NYSP have been killed on duty, with 13 of those members serving in Troop B at the time of their deaths. At the service were the parents of the two most recent troopers killed in action, Lawrence P. Gleason, who was killed Feb. 11, 2002, while responding to a complaint in Crown Point; and Shawn W. Snow, who was killed when struck by an electrical current on Aug. 3, 2008.

Chippendale’s name joined Gleason’s and Snow’s as part of a Memorial at the headquarters, where the names of 12 of the 13 troopers killed in Troop B are etched in stone. Those names also include James A. Skiff (May 25, 1920), Martin E. Ryan (Nov. 25, 1931), Theophilus Gaines (Jan. 15, 1932), William O. Johnson (April 12, 1945 - killed in WWII), Arthur “Leo” LaCroix (July 4, 1954), Ronald J. Donahue (May 23, 1959), John S. Kelley (Dec. 2, 1960), Charles W. Perkins (Oct. 26, 1967) and Thomas L. Pryme (July 24, 1982).

The 13th Troop B casualty was Peter J. Formosa, who died Jan. 13, 1943.

The ceremony included a wreath laying at the memorial, the unveiling of the stone honoring Chippendale, a 21-gun salute and the playing of “Taps.”

After the ceremony, those in attendance, including many retired members of the force, attended a luncheon at the sta-

Keeseville residents question dissolution team at public meeting

By Keith Lobdell

while the consultants were doing their job, he would rather hear from those who would be in the municipalities once the planning stages were over.

“I want to hear more from the people who will manage this area and these towns after the dissolution or the results of the study,” Loreman said.

Chesterfield resident Jay Frank said that he was concerned that only village residents would have the chance to vote on the matter of dissolution.

“Positive or negative, it still has an effect on the towns of Ausable and Chesterfield,” Frank said. “We should all have a say.”

The committee will next meet at the end of June to finalize the study and possibly choose an option to move forward on a draft dissolution plan.

Consultants Peter Fairweather and Tim Weidmann talk to the 53 residents of the towns of Chesterfield and Ausable along with the village of Keeseville who attended the second public meeting of the Keeseville Dissolution Committee.

Photo by Keith Lobdell forward and residents vote, with the second being the board votes to not pursue dissolution.

The third option, which was brought up by some in the audience, was to file a voter petition to force a vote. Weidmann said that while there may be some who want to force the issue now, it is best to wait until the town has a plan in place.

“In order to have the vote, the state says that you need to have this plan,” he said.

“It is better to do it this way then make the village work on a much tighter timeline.”

Several commented on the turnout at the meeting, with only around 60 in attendance in a village of approximately 2,100 residents.

“Not all of the people here are from the village,” village resident Don Loreman said. “They are the ones that need to be here so they know what is going on.”

“It was a very nice, informative meeting,” village resident Lola Lopez said. “I

KEESEVILLE — Around 53 residents of the village of Keeseville and towns of Chesterfield and Ausable were at the Keeseville Volunteer Fire Department May 23 to hear the latest on the possible dissolution of the village.

The meeting was the second public forum between the community and the Keeseville Dissolution Committee, along with consultants Peter Fairweather and Tim Weidmann.

In this meeting, residents had the chance to see and question the consultants and members of the committee on the draft dissolution study, which looks at several options for the village.

“The question is not just one of whether the village should dissolve or not,” Fairweather explained. “There are different ways to look at this and avenues to explore. That is what the study does.”

“The study does not recommend if the village should dissolve or not,” Weidmann said. “It looks at how it would affect those who live in the village, what would change in terms of services and how or if those services would be provided if the village was gone.”

The consultants presented three options to those in attendance, each dealing with a dissolution of the village government.

Weidmann said that the study was part of the process of reaching a dissolution plan, which would be submitted by the committee for acceptance of rejection by the current village board.

“The study looks at the options, while the plan takes one option so residents can look at it and vote yes or no,” Weidmann said. “We will continue to revise this until we come up with the final draft, and then we will work with the committee to pick an option to start the draft dissolution plan.”

Weidmann said that once the plan is submitted, three things can happen. The first is the village board moves the plan

Willsboro students to perform Aladdin Jr.

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — “A Whole New World,” is going to shine over the students at Willsboro Central School.

Disney’s stage adaptation of the 1992 animated film Aladdin will be brought to life on stage June 1 and 2 at 7 p.m. and a special performance on Sunday, June 3, at 2 p.m. at the school auditorium.

The play will feature elementary school students in Kindergarten through sixthgrade and has three Assistant directors from seventh and eighth-grade.

Play director, Willsboro science and reading teacher Derrick A. Hopkins, said the play is a minimized version of the original script.

Designed by Disney, Aladdin Jr. is written to be easier for smaller children who might be acting in their first play.

“It’s the story every one’s heard of and knows but scaled back for easier dialogue to be easier for kids to understand and to act out,” Hopkins said.

The play is packed with the original songs and dance routines. With the help of AmieLaurie Lemieux as choreographer, student’s clad in bohemian vests and genie costumes dance together and sing in unison.

The play is expected to run about 30 minutes, Hopkins said.

Students have practiced for the past five weeks, holding two hour rehearsals. The short rehearsals are meant to ease the students into the routine of participating in a play.

“We do our high school play in the fall and when spring comes and the kindergarteners have had a good eight months to get comfortable with their school schedule, we like to have this play to give them time to learn about what it means to be in a play,” Hopkins said. “This way they can start to really enjoy it and hopefully grow to love doing it.”

The play is not only a good way to get the little ones involved in the performing arts, but to learn what it means to lead a performance. Hopkins said he has three students

who act as assistant directors who help run lines with students, organize props and do all the things the director does.

“This maximizes everyone’s time, they’ve been here from the beginning and can help by running lines with the kids who aren’t on stage and keeping things organized,” Hopkins said. “They are a great help, it’s really nice to have an extra set of eyes ears and hands and it’s a good learning experience for them.”

Claudia Russell, mother of actors Madison and Jameson Russell, said her kids have had a lot of fun working on the play “My kids are really excited about the play and all the kids have seen Aladdin 100 times over.,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity for kids to participate in a theater program like this.”

Fifth-grader Olivia Willsboro Students: Oliver Lee as Aladdin, Mackenzie Martin as the Avis the Magic Carpet and Joelle Steeves as the Genie rehearse Politi said she’s had a lot a scene from the upcoming play “Aladdin Kids”.

Photo by Katherine Clark of fun working on this play after working on other plays at the school such as The Sound of Music in the fall.

“It’s a lot of silly fun and I like how we do silly dances and a lot of singing, me and my friends have a lot of fun,” Politi said.

The performance should have a little something for all audience members, Hopkins said, and is sure to be fun for all who attend.

“The audience is going to have a great time and see their kids be engrossed in theater and dancing,” Hopkins said. “They’ll keith@denpubs.com have a ball, the little ones will have a ball and ELIZABETHTOWN — Added hours and programs will be part of an expanded sumeveryone will enjoy the show.” mer program offered by the Elizabethtown and Lewis Youth Commissions.

“It’s the same old program, but with some twists,” said director Paul Pulsifer. “The hours have expanded to 4 p.m. in the afternoon to help with parent pickup, and there will be lots of new activities and that’s exciting for us.”

Pulsifer said that there will be a science component to the summer program which will look at rockets and volcanoes, among other things. Other interactive programs will include a digital photography course which was funded through a Stewart’s Shops Holiday Match grant.

“We have had this program before, but this year we are adding an advance program for those who have already taken it,” Pulsifer said.

Students will also have the chance to participate in arts and crafts, with a year-end art show for parents. They will also have the chance to create their own newsletter, which will be sent home to families.

There will be weekly field trips to places like the Wild Center in Tupper Lake and Willsborough Lanes for bowling. Students will also have the chance to be involved with sports, including golf, tennis, baseball, soccer and basketball.

The youth commission is holding two registration days in the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School Conference Room, on Tuesday, June 5 and Monday, June 11, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Registration materials will be available that evening and anyone interested should bring a copy of their child’s immunization record. A $25 activity fee (per child) payable to the ELYC will also be collected upon registration to help cover the costs of out-of-camp trips. The program, open to children currently in Kindergarten to sixth grade, will run from July 2 to Aug. 3 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at ELCS. Please contact Pulsifer at 873-2682 or via email at psunyking@hotmail.com with any questions or for more information.

Westport Central student wins Ron Serling film competition award

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com WESTPORT — A Westport student was awarded Best Director for a short film he videotaped.

Dustin Schoenfeld, a sophomore at Westport Central School, was awarded Best Director at the Rod Serling Video Festival, a state-wide film competition for students.

Schoenfeld’s short film was taped where he grew up in Chicago over spring break.

The film shows a busy street scene, where his twin brother, Owen Schoenfeld, finds a coin on the sidewalk. When Owen’s character

flips the coin heads up everything goes in forward motion, but when the coin is flipped to tales everyone and everything moves backward.

This is the second film competition Schoenfeld has entered. He said he was honored to win recognition for the piece.

While making the film, Schoenfeld developed the full story line. Paul Mudie, video production teacher at Westport Central School, said Schoenfeld’s strenths as a filmmaker lie with his editing, his ability to lay out his ideas and visualize the end product.

“I always love to play around with different techniques after I film something, and I like how things look when I reverse the

film,” he said. “I always wanted to use this effect but needed a good story line and I was inspired to have the coin determine the switch.”

Mudie said Schoenfeld is a very talented individual in the area of film production and has a very good eye for editing. Mudie said Schoenfeld’s drive to constantly improve is what makes his work excellent.

“Dustin works independently and is tremendously creative and talented in video production,” Mudie said. “I think Dustin has great potential and is only going to get better because he works at something he is passionate about.”

The Rod Serling Video Festival premiered

in 1995 as a county-wide festival for students as a means to promote the use of video arts technology in area schools. The festival later opened to students throughout the state of New York.

The Rod Serling Video Festival screening will air on WSKG Public Television Friday May 18, from 8 to 9 p.m. The premiere broadcast will be projected on a big screen at Binghamton High School. A short awards ceremony/reception will follow.

Schoenfeld’s video will be viewable online at a later date.

For more information about the video contest call festival personnel at (607) 762-8202.

Motocross track planned to be built in Ti, offering safety courses

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga area will soon have a dirt track for residents to use and take valuable rider safety courses.

The town board approved Jeremy Treadway’s plans for the dirt track at their regular meeting on May 2.

The facility will be located at 1207 state Route 9N behind the Treadway Car Wash. It will be open seven days a week and will be usable by riders of all ability levels. Rider and Safety courses will be offered as early as this summer and

will range from beginners to advanced rider courses.

Joe Vilardo, a member of the planning board, said the board approved the plans for the track after Treadway provided engineering designs that would reduce sound and dust concerns.

“There will be 10-foot berms built with trees on top to reduce the noise of the track,” Vilardo said.

“They have gone above and beyond what we requested.”

Chairman of the Planning Board, Lee Peters, said the board approved the plans with a special use permit dependent on meeting the sound maintenence

conditions and dust control.

Peters said the track will be a benefit for the community. With a high population of all-terrain vehicle and dirt bike riders in the area, Peters said the track will fit the needs of the riders.

“I think Jeremy has done a great job setting the plans for this project that will serve the community,” Peters said.

Treadway has been making arrangements for the track’s construction over the past year and has just begun putting up the fences that will surround the track. Construction will begin as soon as the

ground is dry enough, he said.

Treadway said he hopes the track will help stimulate local tourism and by next year he hopes to start holding competitions at the track.

“There isn’t a track in a two-hour radius of here,” Treadway said. “Motocross is definitely a family sport everyone can get involved in and come for the day to ride and take the classes they need for safety.”

With more people having a reason to come to Ticonderoga, Treadway said it would benefit his business and endorse visitors to stay and contribute to area businesses.

“If people are coming here with their families to practice and compete, they are going to eat at our restaurants, shop in our stores and stay in our hotels,” Treadway said.

Treadway said he hopes the track will be a benefit to area youth. The track could serve as an alternative to getting into trouble.

“Our facilities will be monitored at all times,”he said. “Our track will be substance free and very professional.”

“Right now there is nothing around for the area kids to do and this could be something good for them to get involved with and inspire them to work hard

and have fun,” he said.

Riders will have to bring their own motorcycles and have their bikes and equipment inspected by a Treadway or a staff member before entering the track.

A rider less than 18years-old must have a parent or legal guardian with them at all times. I minor release form must be signed, completely filled out, and dated for youth to attend.

Essex County supers accept new weighted vote numbers

North Country Telephone Exchange By Keith Lobdell Directory (518) keith@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Supervisors has a new count when it comes to representative voting, with Jay moving into the coveted “top four.”

Board members voted to adopt the new voting policy at their May 7 regular board meeting, which will go into effect at the July regular meeting.

Under the representative voting system, each of the 18 Essex County town supervisors is assigned a number of votes based on their municipalities’ population, with a simple majority vote consisting of 2,921 votes split between the members.

The distribution of the cotes are changed every 10 years as new census figures are released.

North Elba continued to have the most number of votes, increasing from 481 to 520 votes. Ticonderoga, who has the second most votes, remained the same with 387. Moriah remained the third highest, adding four to total 355, while Jay moved passed Chesterfield, picking up 12 votes to total 202 as Chesterfield only added two votes to total

katherine@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Ethics Board found Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee guilty of unethical behavior on May 24 after an investigation into his use of town fuel for a personal vehicle.

The board investigation into the March 27 incident in which Ferebee fueled his personal vehicle with town gas had been under investigation by the board since it was first reported to them in early April. The incident was reported by Keene residents Donna Combs on April 6 and by Robin Lawrence on April 11.

As a penalty for Ferebee’s actions, the Ethics Board will submit a letter of reprimand in his personal records. The board found his actions “undermined the public’s confidence in the government” and found him in violation of conflict of interest standards, saying, “No munici-

pal officer or employee may use or permit the use of municipal resources for personal or private purposes.”

Combs said she was satisfied with the Ethics Board’s decision.

Ferebee had confirmed that on Jan. 10, he was traveling on Route 73 en route to the Keene town office.

Just before he got there, Ferebee said his vehicle began stalling because of a lack of fuel. He was able to get his vehicle to the lower town sand pit, where the town fuel tanks are located.

At the pump, he filled his vehicle with 14 gallons of gas.

During a town board meeting that night, Ferebee shared what had happened with councilmen in executive session. He was told to reimburse the town for the gas, which he did the next day, paying Town Clerk Ellen Estes $2.98 per gallon — the cost of gasoline paid by the town on state contract — for a total of $43.50.

Ferebee When Combs brought the matter to the attention of the Ethics Board, she said she was not satisfied with how the Keene Town Board handled the incident.

At their Feb. 14 meeting, town board members said they were satisfied with Ferebee’s quick admission and response.

“We all agreed as a board that the incident should be reported to New York state audit and control and that (Ferebee) should send a letter to them and reimburse the town for the gas that was taken in the emergency situation,” Councilman

town of Keene, and I hope people here can get past this instead of beating a dead horse.

Ethics Board Chairman Michael Orticelle said Ferebee’s case alerted the Ethics Board to a discrepancy in the Ethics Law or Local Law 6. After numerous reviews of the law, Orticelle said the law should be amended to include elected officials in the best interest of handling future cases.

County Attorney Dan Manning said the board will revisit this issue and make sure it allows the Essex County Ethics Board the authority to monitor the actions of elected officials, a system the county currently doesn’t have in place.

The Ethics Board was appointed by county officials in 2011 and reports to the New York State Attorney General’s office if board members feel criminal actions have been committed.

LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid School of Ballet has set the date for their year-end recital. The Spring Recital will be presented on Saturday, June 2, at 3 p.m. at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts.

This program is sponsored by Bettina Varoli and Ursula Trudeau.

Robert Biesemeyer said at the time.

Coon said she felt town officials had let Ferebee off without punishment because they are all friends there; therefore, she brought the matter to the county to keep the town board members honest.

“I think when you’re an elected official, there are certain standards you have to maintain and you can’t even give the appearance of impropriety,” Combs said. “It’s a matter of principle to me; it’s nothing personal to me.”

Ferebee said the outcome of the investigation of the Ethics Board, Bureau of Criminal Investigators and the District Attorney clearly stated he was not guilty of fraud or official misconduct and had broken no law and feels the perception of the incident had been taken out of context.

“I think people feel this issue paints an image of mistrust,” Ferebee said. “I work very hard for the

one vote, because my vote is getting smaller and smaller,” Bartley said.

County Manager Daniel Palmer said that a board of supervisors must vote under the weighted system.

“There was a Supreme Court ruling that said it had to be based upon a one for one vote so you have to do the calculations to make sure that whatever Tom (Scozzafava) represents in Moriah is a one for one vote based upon his voting power here on the board,” Palmer said. “That is where those calculations are driven from.”

“It is actually based upon the same formula as your Congressional districts, your Assembly and your Senate — based on population only they equal it out so you get to the one vote through the number of constituency,” Scozzafava said.

Scozzafava also said that while he understood the call from the smaller towns, there were plenty of chances to vote on issues before they make it to the full board.

“Everything has to go through the committee process and, as you know, it has been pretty well debated and voted on by the time it gets to full board,” Scozzafava said.

The four highest municipalities are referred to as, “the big four” because they total 1,464 votes, three more than the 1,461 needed to win a simple majority vote. The other 14 towns total 1,457 votes.

During the April 30 Ways and Means Committee meeting, Essex Supervisor Sharon Boisen, the lone supervisor to vote against the reapportionment, said she felt there should be one vote only per supervisor.

“The reason I am bringing it up is because I consider when I am working out here that I am thinking of all 39,000 residents, and not just the 671 that currently live in Essex year round,” Boisen said.

“That is what kind of concerns me.”

Essex is third out of the four smallest towns with 55 votes, joined by North Hudson (20), Newcomb (35) and Minerva (65).

Margaret Bartley, who lost 11 votes under the new system, said she understood Boisen’s point.

Hickey, Fischer, Dora, White and Brock Marvin make golf state team Clark alternate for second year, Connor Marvin shoots well in 1st round

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Plattsburgh High senior Ethan Votraw made his fifth Section VII team that will compete at the NYSPHSAA golf tournament this week.

What was new this time around was that Votraw will head to Cortland as the Section VII individual champion.

“I was hitting the ball well all day and kept playing good golf through the back nine,” Votraw said after carding a two-day 149, two strokes ahead of defending champion John Hickey of AuSable Valley at the Westport Country Club May 24-25.

“Coming into this tournament, the goal is always to get to states,” he said. “It’s awesome to finally win the tournament.”

The win capped a strong senior year for the Hornet standout, who was part of the soccer teams run to a sectional final and the basketballs state quarterfinal push.

“Soccer was a little bit of a letdown, because we wanted more,” Votraw said. “Bas-

Members of the Section VII golf team. ketball was a big plus and golf was a great season.”

Votraw said the key to his fifth trip to the state tournament will be improving on the greens.

“Last year I think I had like five threeputts,” Votraw said of his T-17 performance. “If I can putt better and hit the ball like I am, I should be able to improve on that finish. Like (AVCS coach Chris) Dubay always says, its just a golf course that you need to go out and play.”

Saranac Lake, who won the team title by 16 strokes over Elizabethtown-Lewis, had all six of their golfers playing on day two.

Dustin Fischer, who birdied three holes on the back nine to card a 158 and Kyle Dora with a 166 both advanced to the state tournament, while Matt Clark (171) finished as the alternate for the second year. Ethan Sawyer (172), Devin Darrah (178) and Blake Gregory (189) also made the second day for the Red Storm.

The second place Lions placed two golfers into the state tournament, as Tyler White made his second state team with a 167 two-day score and Brock Marvin earned the ninth spot on the team with a 169.

“It was a fun two days and it was good to make it to states for the second year,” White said. “Last year, I went down trying to compete against all of these golfers in the state and found out that they were really good. This year, I just want to go down and golf my own game.”

“It was such a sporadic day but in the end, you can’t complain about it,” Marvin, who shot a 77 on the opening day, said. “I hit the ball well, I just had some bad breaks.”

Marvin said it was pleasing to accomplish the goal of making the state team.

“This was one of my goals throughout high school golf,” he said. “I have put in all of the hours that I could and here I am.”

Brock’s brother, Connor, opened with an 81 in his first full round of golf since heart transplant surgery. He finished with a 176, four shots off the pace for states.

“Not only was it awesome to see him out there, but to see him in contention through 27 holes was amazing,” Brock, who received a heart transplant in December of 2010, said. “The meds that you take make you shaky and you are still tired after laying in a hospital bed for so long, but he played through that. I’m sure this was a huge boost for him and he will be doing just fine next year.”

“I played well the first day,” Connor said. “I made putts on the first day, but then they were not falling. It’s good to be playing and good to be back.”

“He is eight weeks out of the hospital and had not done more then nine holes before this 36-hole event,” ELCS coach and Connor and Brock’s father, Smitty Marvin, said.

“His golf game has been there and he proved it. It’s a dream come true to see them both out on the course healthy and in contention for the state team and individual title.”

Nolan Reid of Northeastern Clinton (153) finished third, while Beekmantown’s MaCullen Cope (168) was seventh and Plattsburgh High’s Lucas Wood (168) eighth.

F

ishing is about making memories. I have a ton of great ones dating all the way back to childhood.

Some of my fondest recollections are of fishing with my grandfather on a lake bank in rural East Tennessee on a bright sunny day catching bluegills and carp. Other times we would fish all night from the highway bridges that spanned the section of the Tennessee River near my home. Then there is another memory of catching that first wall hanger bass at age 13, a monstrous 4 ½ pounder. Or the 40th birthday gift mom gave me of a long ago picBy Howard Hammonds ture of me at 3 years old holding my first bass. Priceless!

Recently, I had the opportunity to take my neighbor ’s second grade son fishing. On many days I would return from fishing and find young Mike waiting to see if I had caught anything or watch me fillet perch. As soon as I would unhook the boat, he’d climb in and look in the live wells or ask a thousand questions about how the four electronic units on my go-fast bass boat work. He would listen with wide eyes as I described how my GPS unit could tell me where I was and my depth finder could show structure in 3-D images.

Finally one day I asked the dumb and obvious question: “Hey Mike, do you want to go fishing after school one day?”

Well, you know the answer.

So the plan was set: “Have a good report from your teacher tomorrow and you can go fishing” said his dad.

One stellar report from his teacher the next day and off we went.

Mike buzzed me with rapid fire questions about where we were going and what we were going to catch. I finally launched the boat, zipped up Mike in his life jacket and then set a heading for Button Bay — I knew the small-

H2O Adventures

mouth were staging for pre-spawn and there are many rock piles along the bank. It was time to prove the Wacky Senko technique would work.

Knowing Mike had never been on a boat before I took it easy, moving at a very modest 30 mph.

Mike wasn’t having any of that.

“Hammer it!” he yelled.

Now, Mike only weighs 65 pounds soaking wet and I figured anything faster than 50 mph would blow him right out of the boat, so I stayed at 50. The laughing and giggling was endless the whole 5 minutes it took to cross the lake.

Now the real challenge began, Mike had never cast his rod and reel. We took several minutes for some quick lessons on casting an open-faced spinning reel. He was a quick learner.

“Cast to that big rock pile, Mike,” I said. “Let it sink, watch your line, wind up the slack.”

His cast was right on target; suddenly, the line took off.

I’m yelling: “Reel! Reel!” and sure enough Mike winds like crazy holding on for dear life with a big pull on the end of his line. Suddenly the water explodes, with a smallmouth jumping two feet out of the water. Mike’s yelling and winding. He gets that smallmouth to the side of the boat and I go to grab it, but Mike has seen too many bass fishing shows, so he jumps the fish right in the boat just like the pros.

Whooping and hollering for the next few minutes was expected. After a quick lesson on holding a fish, and a few quick pictures, it went back in the water. For the next hour we cruised the bank casting and catching, yes even losing some. And after every fish the same question was asked: “We aren’t going home yet, are we?”

“Nope Mike,” I’d reassure him. “They are still biting.”

All good things do have to come to an end, however, and Mike had homework waiting, so another quick boat ride back to Westport and the rest of the story now lives in his memory for a lifetime!

A few pointers on “Taking a kid fishing:” •Purchase a good vest type life jacket.

•I recommend a closed face spinning reel and rod. The push button type.

•Live bait works real well, minnows or worms.

•Use wet gloves to handle the fish, no point getting

Mike Race of Wadhams, a second grader at Westport Central School, shows off the smallmouth bass he caught with Howard Hammonds. stuck by a fin on your first trip.

Howard Hammonds is a guide and experienced bass fisherman living in Westport. He can be reached at hehammonds@gmail.com.
