Addison Mehr, a graduate of Westport Central School and a film student at New York University, will screen his short film, “Firecracker!” at the 10th annual Lake Placid Film Forum, which runs June 10-13. Several other local filmmakers will also be featured.

72979

LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid Film Forum celebrates its 10th anniversary this weekend, and this year’s event promises to be as exciting and intriguing as ever while showcasing the work of some of the region’s best and most promising filmmakers.

The Palace Theatre, Lake Placid Center for the Arts, and Whiteface Lodge will host the events of this year’s forum, which runs June 1013.

Two well-known film stars headline the event: Parker Posey and Hal Holbrook.

Posey, known as “Queen of the Indies” for her starring roles in many independent films, will be on hand for a live interview. Jason Kliot, one of the producers of “Broken English,” in which Posey stars, will conduct the interview after the film screens at LPCA 6 p.m. Friday.

Holbrook, a a prolific star of stage and screen most famous for his portrayals of Mark Twain, will participate in a question and answer session following a Saturday 7 p.m. screening of the film “That Evening Sun,” in which he stars.

Also on Saturday, at 10 a.m., award-winning author and Adirondack Film Society co-founder Russell Banks will moderate a discussion at LPCA entitled “Never Underestimate the Power of a Woman” with a panel featuring Posey, “Frozen River” director Courtney Hunt, producer Joana Vicente, filmmaker Carole Hart, and producer Linda Reisman.

Students from film schools across New York State will be participating in “Sleepless in Lake Placid,” a film competition that challenges them to produce a 10-minute short film in the span of 24 hours. Screening and judging of the films will take place 8:45 p.m. Friday at LPCA. What may interest audience members greatly, aside from the many accomplished actors, producers, and directors present, are the sever-

Lake Placid Film Forum is its official local premiere, House said.

“We’re screening that at 11 p.m. [Friday] for a reason,” said LPFF project coordinator T.J. Brearton, who described the film as edgy and racy.

After “Skatopia,” Powers, who works as production director at Mountain Lake PBS, will be on hand for a question and answer session about the film skateboarder Tony Hawk has called “a rite of passage for hardcore skaters.”

Another locally-made film premiering at LPFF is a documentary produced through the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts in Blue Mountain Lake. “My Adirondack Life: The Teenage Years” is produced, directed, filmed and edited by its subjects: 19 teenagers from Indian Lake, Long Lake, Old Forge, Newcomb, North Creek, and Tupper Lake.

Through a series of short vignettes, the teenagers tell their personal stories, describing what it’s like to spend their adolescence living in some of the most isolated Adirondack communities.

There is also a slew of films from Vermont filmmakers, not the least of which is “The Summer of Walter Hacks,” a film shot almost entirely in Vermont by producer and dairy farmer George Woodard, who will also answer questions following the screening of his film 2:15 p.m.

Sunday.

Just prior to that, at 2 p.m., will be the screening of two short films by local artists: “Backwater,” by Burlington, Vt., filmmaker Michael Fisher; and the premiere of “Firecracker!” the latest project of Westport native Addison Mehr. Both are six minutes in length.

“I’m excited about the fact that we got so many regional films as we did,” said Brearton.

Tickets are $10 for each showing and go on sale an hour prior to showtime. For more information and a complete schedule, call 5233456 or visit www.lakeplacidfilmforum.com.

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — Addison Mehr may be young, but he’s well on his way to pursuing his dream as an accomplished filmmaker.

A graduate of Westport Central School and a junior in the prestigious Film program at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, Mehr’s six-minute short film “Firecracker!” has been selected for screening at the 10th annual Lake Placid Film Forum this weekend. “‘Firecracker!’ is a kinetic fable about starcrossed lovers and their eccentric families,” said Mehr. “The film is dominated by hyperbolic storytelling, riffing off the timeless style of 1930’s adventure films.”

Mehr cast local actors and borrowed props and costumes from the Depot Theatre. He recorded the short entirely on 16mm film, shooting scenes in Westport, Elizabethtown, Lake Placid and Keeseville in a matter of two days.

“We were running on a very tight schedule and would often run out of a car, shoot a scene and keep moving,” Mehr said. “It was non-stop and really exhilarating.”

50528

“Amusing as it is, I was actually arrested during our last climactic shot of the film,” he added.

“Firecracker!” was produced as a final project for Mehr’s sophomore Film class and selected as the best among those submitted by his peers. Still, he decided to bring the film back to the Adirondacks for its official premiere at the Lake Placid Film Forum.

“I have always held the festival in high esteem and I fully support their mission to stimulate, encourage and inspire indie filmmakers,” said Mehr. “They do a really great job of bringing filmmaking to the Adirondacks.”

Besides “Firecracker!” Mehr has also been involved in the production of music videos for artists such as Norah Jones, Devendra Banhart, and MGMT, a Grammy-nominated duo that features Westport native Ben Goldwasser.

“Ultimately, I would like to train my visual aesthetic by creating music videos and commercials before transitioning into feature filmmaking,” Mehr said.

“Firecracker!” will show at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts Sunday, June 13, 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 and go on sale when the doors open at 1:15 p.m.

ere we are nearly at the half way month of 2010. June brings the end of our school students’ year, with finals and the moving to a new grade. The School Drama club has one more production this weekend June 11 and 12 presenting “101 Dalmatians” starting at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium. Sounds like it will be a fun evening of entertainment.

The Girl Scouts end of the year ceremony is June 16 at 6:30, also to be held at the school.

The Willsboro Alumni Association is hopeful that many will be attending the Annual Banquet. It will be held on Saturday, June 26 at Crickets in Peru. Best that you get your reservations in this week. Check their web site for more details.

The new buzz for exercise is to join Crystal Sayward’s Zumba Fitness Class. She has them twice a week at the school. If interested, contact Crystal or a member of the class of 2013 for more information.

Activities are getting in place for the summer season. Volunteers are the backbone of

making things available here in our community. The Visitor Center opened this week and we still have two Saturdays that volunteers are needed. Each shift is only three hours, and it is a great place to spend time. Contact Janice Allen if you are willing to help. The Heritage Museum is also looking of volunteers, if interested contact Charlie Lustig. The Adsit Cabin will be opening near the end of the month and volunteers are welcome there as well.

The Ecumenical Vacation Bible School will take place the week of Aug. 16 to 20. The community youth program will be starting right after the Fourth of July.

The Paine Library also has a busy schedule which they got off to a start this past week with four local artist’s work on display.

Happy Birthday: Lee Ann Johnpeer 6/12, Bruce Patnode 6/14, Jessica McCauliffe 6/ 14, Kelsey Sloper 6/15, Randy Dickerson 6/16, Debbie Bridge 6/17, Linda Jacquish 6/18, Alicia MacDougall 6/20. Happy Anniversary to Brian & Cindy Pytlak 6/17.

ummer is still about two weeks away but summer events kick off in Keeseville this week. There is absolutely no reason for people to be bored here this week.

The library sale kicks off Friday, Spring Fling is Saturday, and the Methodist Church is having a Bake Sale on Saturday as well. I believe Mac’s Market is having a customer appreciation day soon. Check the store for details.

Even though I have been here over a year, I am constantly discovering neat things around here. I guess I spend too much time in my home reading, writing, grading, lesson planning, etc.

My first neat discovery came in an e-mail from The Chesterfield Fish and Game Club which was featured in this paper a month ago.

They have a Web Page at chesterfieldshootingrange.com. Sunday, June 13, there will be a 3D Archery Shoot. Also, work days are being planned to improve the 155-acre facility and complete the 3-D course. This could be a great community building event. Come help out June 11, 12, 26 and 27.

ast week, my dog Ginny and I were in town to see the show at the Firehouse Art Gallery. Actually, Ginny stretched out on the cool concrete floor for a snooze while I studied the paintings.

While there, I met an avid reader who asked about the obvious problems white pine trees are showing. The needles are turning a pale yellow on pines all over the North Country, and look like they’re dying. White pines shed some of their needles each fall, but not like this. Along the Northway, you can see where road salt has killed white pines, but trees far from roads are having the same problem.

I consulted a local expert, my wife Amy, who said arborists are stumped as to the cause. Since the problem appeared over a huge area at the same time, insects and diseases can be ruled out. Some sort of environmental condition may be the culprit, like wide temperature fluctuations last winter, but right now no one knows what’s going on. Amy did say that trees may suffer damage in the winter but won’t show

to develop handicapped accessibility. It is a tremendous idea to have something different to offer for everybody.

I am very glad they are also focusing on youth activities. Kids need something constructive to do. Here is a chance for kids to get out from the video games and do it for real – legally even! This is great. I remember as a kid target shooting in my backyard with a BB gun.

It was a lot of fun. Now here is my chance to get my son the same experience. My wife is excited about the archery aspect. There will be a special Father-child category on Father’s Day. My next discovery came from a great source of local information, Speedy Arnold, who I consider somewhat of a local Renaissance man (Store owner, assessor, artist, musician and I am sure other things I don’t know about yet.)

He is designing the T-Shirt for this year’s Pig and Swig which will occur Father’s Day. I will have more next week.

So the problem isn’t what to do, it’s which to do! Go out and have fun!

signs of injury until spring. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.

While in town, we visited the community bulletin board and met the woman who is the unofficial bulletin board keeper. She was taking down old postings and rearranging others, making it nice and neat. I myself occasionally tidy up the bulletin board, but not with the aplomb this lady has. She tolerates out-of-town interlopers, like a certain Willsboro artist, and allowed a notice for a mid-August golf tournament to stay. We both agreed that the advertisement for a klezmer band with no performance date would have to go.

On Saturday, a funeral procession went past our house. Our neighbor, Sam Sayward, passed away after a long struggle with cancer, and his friends gathered with their farm tractors to pay their respects. Sam was a tractor lover. There were dozens of tractors in the cortege, including antique tricycle types, huge 4 wheel drive models, and even a log skidder. It was a fitting and very moving tribute to a well-loved man.

T

here will be a benefit Polo Match for Molly Rascoe on Saturday, June 12 at "Polo Club Way" off Stevenson Road, starting at 1 p.m., with a rain date of Sunday, June 13. Lunch will be available.

As you probably know, Molly, a student at WCS, was diagnosed last year with a rare autoimmune disorder that has attacked her kidneys. Since then, as she's bravely kept up a very tough schedule of dialysis several times a week at Fletcher Allen, Molly has received a lot of support from her many friends in the community. If you are saving pull tabs for Molly you may turn them in at the polo field during the match and the organizers will see that they find their way to Molly.

If Molly can remain in remission till September, she'll be eligible for a kidney transplant. In that case, her best hope will be to find a living kidney donor with Type B or O blood. Did you know that we're born with two kidneys, but that healthy people can actually donate one of theirs without any adverse health effects? Studies show that kid-

ney donors live just as long as people who keep both kidneys.

Here's a reminder about the second annual "Hills Are Alive" benefit for local student artists that will be held on Sunday, June 13 from 2-4 p.m. at the home of Vitolds Arste and Martha Swan, at 7176 Route 9N (just east of Fitzgerald Road). Funds raised this year will help support the Crown Point String Ensemble, the Shakespeare-in-the-Park Youth Program, and the Champlain Valley Fencing Club. There will be exciting performances from each of these groups, as well as drumming workshops for (nearly) all ages with multi-instrumentalist and teacher Jo Sallins.

Anyone interested in local history is invited to an open meeting on Thursday, June 17 at 7 p.m. at the Westport Library, to discuss ideas for the future of the Westport Historical Society. All are welcome. Finally, don't forget to vote on Tuesday, June 15 at the Town Hall from noon to 8 p.m. on the new municipal building.

Are we over-prescribing our kids?

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 - A modest little wedding took place at the Catholic church tent, in Port Henry, last Saturday evening, Father J. H. O’Rourke officiating. The contracting parties were Mr. Morris Nichols, of the gold diggings, and Miss Hattie Maple, daughter of John Maple, Esq., of this village. The groom will be remembered as the decorative artist, who suspended himself by a sailor’s seat, and mounted the spire of the M. E. church, in this village last summer, repaired the ornament at the top, and painted the woodwork, as he descended the most courageous and daring act we ever witnessed.

MORIAH - One day last week a party of our expert fishermen hide themselves away to a neighboring trout pond, thinking to gather in a few baskets of speckled beauties with the fly.

After slapping and boating around all day with legendry fishermen’s luck, they quit on the trout, and dug black head fish worms, and with hook, line, bob and sinker, tackled the bullheads, and made a phenomenal record. It is reported that in two hours, two of the party single handed and alone, landed two thousand bullheads. The party having no sufficient conveyance to take such a number of fish home, they were obliged to return most of them to the water. None of the fish were weighed or measured; but as the Post would state it, “these are the plain unvarnished facts,” and we hope they will not set an inexperienced editor’s head in a whirl. Next!

The Adirondack Record- Elizabethtown Post 1937 KEENE - An unusual accident occurred at the foot of Spruce Hill Sunday afternoon when a Plymouth coupe owned by a Lake placid man ran into the back of the car of Burton Torrance of Keene Valley, throwing it into the guardrail and smashing fenders, trunk and bumper. Mrs. Torrance suffered from nervous shock and Miss Mary Torrance had a badly bruised knee. The woman riding in the coupe was thrown from the car to the cement and dragged a short distance, sustain bruises and cuts. She was attended by Dr. Goff and taken to the Keene Valley hospital for treatment.

MORIAH - Trapped beneath a huge falling chunk of ore, Claude Neggia, 21, of Witherbee, was crushed to death in the Joker mine of the Witherbee Sherman Corporation last Thursday afternoon. He was instantly killed, according to Dr. L. H. Gaus of Ticonderoga, coroner, who rendered a verdict of accidental death after investigating the accident. Neggia’s uncle and boss, Ernest Buratti, 44, was with him when he was killed. Both were employed as “roof men,” their job being to patrol the mine levels in search of loose overhead ore rocks. According to Dr. Gaus the men were attempting to pry loose a rock measuring ten by four feet when it slipped out of their control and started to fall. Neggia, the coroner said, shouted a warning to Buratti and the other man ran to safety, but Neggia slipped on the wet floor of the mine and fell. Dr. Gaus said the huge rock fell on Neggia’s head and right leg, crushing them. Buratti cried out for help and other miners came immediately. The coroner said the efforts of six miners were required to pry the rock of Neggia’s body.

Questioning legislators votes To the editor: I had to read the article in Valley News June 5 paper “State deal allows parks to reopen” more than once. I could not believe that Assemblywoman Sayward and Senator Little voted against opening the John Brown Farm Historical Site for this season and yet they are given credit for keeping it open. If you vote against a bill to fund a project then you are against the project.

Also in that bill, other parks in the area were kept open.

It has been my understanding that Gov. Paterson has required all State Departments to prove there economic value before being funded and Assemblywoman Sayward in an interview with Channel 57 praised him for his policy to review every department.

As we know, the parks create summer jobs and sale tax revenues to the area to support us.

A

merican children are prescribed psychiatric drugs three times more often than European children.

Could it be that American children are more unhappy, depressed or hyperactive than European children? This explanation seems entirely implausible.

I believe in modern psychiatry and mental health care practices and I am not suggesting that medications are not needed in many instances. Rather, I am curious as to why so many American youth are taking psychiatric medications when compared to other wealthy, developed nations.

Between 1996 and 2006, the use of psychiatric drugs for children increased by 50 percent according to the Journal of Health Affairs. In 2009, the U.S. Agency for Health Care Research and Quality reported that more money was spent on treating mental disorders in children aged 0-17 than for any other medical condition. This is a new and surprising finding as this age group has high rates of fractures, sprains, burns and lacerations as they encounter their physical world in a variety of firsts.

In 2008, psychiatric drug sales in the U.S. exceeded 40 billion dollars. Many of these profits were based on drugs that address children’s issues. The drugs Ritalin and Prozac are used to treat depression and Attention Deficit Disorder and have created huge profits for drug companies. Some European countries have banned stimulant based drugs like Ritalin for use with children as

they believe stimulant based drugs unsafe for everyone and especially children.

Maryland Professor Julie Zito led a study that found that

By Scot Hurlburt “American and European differences might be explained in a variety of ways. Americans are much more exposed to corporate drug advertising, see more specialists and are more likely to turn to drugs to solve their problems.”

Dr. David Katz of the Yale University School of Medicine explained that, “The U.S. has a sick care system rather than a health care system. The U.S focuses more on drugs and procedures for diagnosed conditions.”

I want to stress that I am not an expert on the issue of prescription drug use for children with emotional or psychiatric disorders.

A doctor and or a mental health professional always know what is best for children facing these challenges. Perhaps it is a subject that deserves closer examination by everyone.

Remember, all kids count.

Concerns about municipal building

distances, builders and architects offices, a dentist, jewelers, artists, sandwich and coffee shops, antique dealers, furniture makers, boat builders, acupuncture clinics, physical therapists and yoga studios, a bicycle shop, car wash, communication services, real estate and even lawyers.

(Howard Dean Scream goes here) More businesses creates more business. I believe the way forward for the Town of Westport is by working backward from a vision of the Future of Westport. For me, that vision has a well-maintained historic and vital Town Hall at its core. One that speaks of the values and potential of its residents.

I recognize the extensive planning efforts that have gotten the project to this point.

However, I worry about the size of the debt we create while further hollowing the center of Westport.

To the editor: I see the needs and understand the logic in combining the town shed, fire and school vehicle services into one structure. A new structure that would service those vehicle needs alone would be quite different from what is being proposed, which includes new municipal offices and court facility on the outskirts of town. I am not willing to give up on the Town Hall at its present location, where it operates as both the actual and conceptual “town center.”

I propose separating the primary issues within the proposed municipal center, vehicle storage/maintenance and town offices/court. By addressing these issues independently we could build a lean, affordable, strictly utilitarian workshop facility for the Future of Westport (super insulated with an innovative heat and energy plant).

It makes great sense to rebuild this facility in the proposed location, potentially strengthening the allure of Westport’s industrial park. I do not support relocating offices to this site from the center of town on the basis that the existing facility has maintenance and organizational needs.

Who can we expect to commit to the core of the town if the municipality itself does not?

Having offices in town supports the momentum of business in general. We need to do all we can to create and maintain a vibrant core, support lunch trips at walk-able

Essex Theatre Company to host benefit performance

Westport School Board meets June 17

ESSEX — Essex Theatre Company will hold its annual benefit Sunday, June 13, 5 p.m. at the Masonic Lodge, next to the Ferry Dock, in Essex. Featured will be the performers from the company’s past seasons and some new faces in the celebration “Scenes and Songs to Savor II.” Performers include Sam Balzac, Gigi Carroll, Kelsey Carroll and friends, Dick Close, John Durant, Katherine Houseal, Susan Hughes, Tara Mulvey, Kathy Poppino, Kathy Recchia, Brett Sicola, Jacky Wardell, and Lauren Whalen. Accompanists are Mary Lu Kirsty and Barbara Winsman.

A Chinese auction will be offered and wine and hors d’oeurves served. Tickets are $25 and may be reserved by calling 524-7708 or e-mailing tickets@essextheatre.org.

WESTPORT — The Westport Central School District Board of Education will hold a regular meeting Thursday, June 17, 6:30 p.m. in the library. Agenda items will include the discussion regarding installment payments of school taxes, retrirement and emergency leave of absence letters, and any other business that may come before the board. All Board of Education meetings are open to the public.

Keeseville library to hold annual book sale KEESEVILLE — The Keeseville Free Library will hold its annual book sale Friday, June 11, 1-5 p.m.; Saturday, June 12, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Monday, June 14, 1-7 p.m. The library has a large selection of adult and children’s books. Children’s books will be sold at 25 cents each.

Play From page 1 benefit the Crown Point String Ensemble; The Depot Theatre’s apprentice program, Shakespeare-in-the-Park; and the Champlain Valley Fencing Club.

“With drastic cuts in funding for the arts and for schools, and the strain of the economic crisis felt by so many families, this is such an important time to step up to the plate and support our young people and the programs that help them to flourish,” said Martha Swan, who is hosting the event with her husband, Vitolds Arste. “Few of us may be able to write big checks, but together, we really can make a difference.”

The funds raised in 2009 made it possible for the Crown Point String Ensemble to purchase a second full-size cello for the group’s cellist to keep at home for practice instead of transporting back and forth on the bus.

“Hills helped save our program last year,” said Lindsay Pontius, director of Shakespearein-the-Park. “We had some strong support from the local community, but our participation in the Hills program really got us going.”

Joining the Shakespearean actors and Crown Point musicians at Hills this year, teens involved in the Champlain Valley Fencing Club will give foil and epee demonstrations.

Their share of the funds raised this year will go towards the purchase of electronic scoring boxes for foil fencing.

“The Hills Are Alive is for the kids, said Paul Rossi, coach of the Champlain Valley Fencing Club, “and what we try to do with the Fencing Club is help kids develop and advance in a sport they love. In the four short years since we started, our fencers have won numerous medals and established a strong presence on the regional and national fencing stage.”

Residents mourn disaster in Gulf

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ESSEX/JAY — A few dozen Essex County residents came together earlier this week to share their concern for those affected by the ongoing oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

Vigils were organized in Jay and Essex June 8 to mark the 50th day since an offshore oil rig operated by British Petroleum exploded and sank, causing an underwater pipeline to break and release a seemingly uncontrollable gusher of crude oil into ocean waters.

The pollution has had a devastating effect on both wildlife and communities in and around the Gulf and there seems to be no end in sight to when the leak will be contained.

The vigils, part of an initiative from political action Web site MoveOn.org, called for stepped-up efforts to end the leak and re-

duce the United States’ dependence on oil.

“This is a sensitive vigil in support of the people of the Gulf region and the creatures of the Gulf region,” said Laura Smith, a MoveOn.org member who organized a vigil at Beggs Park in Essex. Nearly 30 people, including a few local clergy, were in attendance.

Smith, who spends her winters along the Florida panhandle coast and has assisted in wildlife conservation efforts there, said the issue has been very close to her heart lately.

She noted how fishermen along the coast have found their harvests depleted by the spreading oil.

“We’re not just talking about a few birds here;” said Smith,“we’re talking about whole communities and their way of life.”

“This has the potential to be not just a catastrophe for the people in the Gulf, but for people in the entire world,” said Holly

Chabbott, who organized a similar vigil at the Jay Village Green.

Though the group in Jay was somewhat smaller, Chabbott said they have agreed to meet at the Village Green every Tuesday evening to continue efforts towards positive change.

“We decided to use our energies in a constructive way,” she said, “like maybe starting a writing campaign to local congressmen and state government.”

As a follow-up to the Essex vigil, Smith is planning a gathering for June 26 as part of an initiative by the Hands Across the Sand organization to put an end to offshore oil drilling. More information is available at www.handsacrossthesand.org.

Pendragon performance to benefit Lift Mt. Pisgah SARANAC LAKE — The area’s most prominent amateur theatre company is joining the efforts to support revitalization of its community ski area.

Pendragon Theatre founders Bob Pettee and Susan Neal have announced they will donate 20 percent of the box office proceeds from the June 12 performance of “The Jungle Book” to benefit Lift Mount Pisgah.

“Pendragon Theatre wants to be able to do what we can to support a well-rounded child,” said Petee. “Lift Mount Pisgah supports that philosophy through its continued efforts to provide a year-round outdoor recreational facility.”

“The Jungle Book” is a stage adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s famous story and features all the favorite characters: Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, Kaa, Shere Khan, the monkies, and more.

The cast includes Silas Swanson, Brandon Pat-

terson, Leslie Dame, Clare Paulson, Jason Amrhein, Scott Eichholz, Donna Moschek, and Chris McGovern.

Recently Lift Mount Pisgah received a $600,000 grant from the state Environmental Protection funad, though it still falls short of its $850,000 goal.

The grant and fundraising efforts will be used to replace the existing 1940-era T-bar while developing a trail system for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, mountain biking and running with some dedicated handicapped accessible paths.

Tickets for Jungle Book are $10 for anyone 15 and older or $8 for anyone under 15. For more information about Pendragon Theatre’s 30th year productions and for reservations, call 891-1854 or visit www.pendragontheatre.org. For more information about Lift Mount Pisgah and other fundraising activities, check out www.saranaclake.ny.gov.

Mowgli tries to prod the monkeys off the old lift at Mount Pisgah so a new one can be installed.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Yet another changing of the guard is expected at the Essex County Board of Elections as another staff member there has announced his intent to leave the department.

David Mace, the Democratic election commissioner in Essex County, has announced his intent to resign from the position effective July 3.

The announcement came to light at the Essex County Board of Supervisors meeting June 7 when Chesterfield supervisor Gerald Morrow moved a resolution to accept Mace’s resignation and appoint Ticonderoga resident Robert PelldeChame to fill the remainder of his term.

“It should be a smooth transition,” said Morrow, who is also vice-chair of the county Democratic committee. “Robert is very knowledgeable, and he’ll be working with Dave over the next few weeks.”

Pell-deChame, who made an unsuccessful run as Ticonderoga town supervisor last year, said it was likely his familiarity with election procedures that led Democrats to select him for the position.

Morrow praised Mace for his work in the position, most notably for dealing with the recent switch to electronic voting machines and other regulations stemming from the federal Help America Vote Act, which county officials have begrudgingly followed.

Mace, a retired software developer, has served as an election commissioner since January 2007.

With his resignation, he becomes the second election commissioner to step down in the past six months. Former Republican Commissioner

21, Mace said, he agreed to stay on through July 2 to give Democrats more time to find a replacement.

In the meantime, Pell-deChame has been hired as a temporary clerk at the Board of Elections to become more familiar with the office before he becomes commissioner.

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com

Lewis Sanders announced his resignation in January, citing health problems.

Mace’s resignation letter had yet to be formally received by County Clerk Joe Provoncha at the time of the meeting, so Morrow was forced to withdraw his resolution.

Mace later confirmed his plans to resign, however, noting that he became certain of the decision shortly after the May 3 Board of Supervisors meeting. At that meeting, the board unanimously voted to urge the Board of Elections to reconsider a plan that would consolidate polling places in four towns.

Lake Placid comes up short in Class D

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The girls of the Lake Placid softball team have seen their share of close games this year, but another comeback was not to be June 4 as they fell to Crown Point 6-3 in the Section VII Class D softball final.

The Blue Bombers had come from behind to defeat Indian Lake/Long Lake 5-4 June 2 to reach their first Sectional final in more than a decade. Chelsea Preston and Danielle Balestrini each had two hits in the dramatic victory.

They found themselves in a similar situation last Friday as the Panthers took an early 6-1 lead charged by double-RBI hits by Lauren Brace and Chelsea DuShane.

Alexis Nichols and the Blue Bombers’ defense would hold Crown Point scoreless after the second inning, but Lake Placid struggled against Panthers ace Lindsay Brace, who relieved DuShane in the second.

“Alexis settled down nicely in the second inning," said Lake Placid head coach Donna Moody. "We had a Crown Point 6, Lake Placid 3 1 2 3 4 56 7 R H E Lake Placid 0 1 0 0 02 0— 3 8 1 Crown Point 3 3 0 0 0 0 x — 6 10 1

couple errors that hurt us a little bit. Then after that, I thought we played well.”

Morgan Caudill led off the sixth with a single down the first base line to spark a Lake Placid rally, coming home on a pass ball. Catherine Valentine singled and was brought in by a hit from Chelsea Preston before a strike out stranded runners at second and third.

“I knew they were going to be tough to beat,” said Crown Point head coach Mike Ross. “I heard how they had come back against Keene and then against Indian Lake. I was just hoping we could put the fire out, and we did.”

Balestrini led off with a base hit in the seventh, but the Blue Bombers were denied any further hits. Lindsay Brace finished with 11 strikeouts and two walks in five and two-third innings for Crown Point.

“I really felt like playing in the CVAC was very good for us,” said Moody, noting how her team had faced some very good pitchers throughout the season. “I thought we were pretty well prepared in that sense. She pitched a very nice game.”

Lauren Brace had two doubles for the Panthers. Jessica Potter and Alex Macey each added two hits.

Molly Ploof had two singles for Lake Placid while Jenna McGreevy added a double. Stephanie Murphy drove in a run with a single in the second.

Nichols struck out three and walked five in six innings in the loss.
