matt@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Seven votes proved to be the difference as voters here narrowly turned down a proposal to fund construction of a new municipal building.

Five hundred twenty three of the town’s 1,014 registered voters cast their ballots June 15, rejecting authorization of a $7 million bond for the project by a vote of 179-172. Two ballots were counted void.

“Now we’re going to need some time to digest the vote and find out where we go from here,” said Westport Supervisor Dan Connell.

Strawberry Fest to aid historic church hall

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WADHAMS — A summer tradition more than a century old will not only liven spirits in this small hamlet, but will also help bring new life to an even older community building.

The Wadhams United Church of Christ will host its annual Strawberry Festival June 20, 1-4 p.m. featuring traditional strawberry shortcake treats, cold beverages, live music, and more.

Proceeds from the event will be used toward the continued renovation of the church’s fellowship hall, a building dating from the 1830s. It originally served as part of a hotel with the ground floor being used as a stable and the second floor a theater and dance hall.

In 2003, the church completed an exterior renovation of the fellowship hall largely funded by a state historical grant. Much has been done since then to renovate the interior, the latest additions being a ramp for handicap access and a newly remodeled kitchen.

“We’ve had the Strawberry Festival under the most adverse conditions, even before we were able to use the fellowship hall,” said event organizer Carole Harsh, “so its such a joy just to be able to use this building.”

Both Carole and her husband, Bob, have been closely involved in the renovation efforts, which have benefitted from the generosity of many local contractors. Festival attendees will have an opportunity to view the latest repairs.

“It’s really been a community effort,” said Bob. “People realize that it is a community resource, and hopefully it will be used that way.”

Last year, the Strawberry Festival raised about $2,000 toward the renovations. The Harshes estimate about $5,000 more is needed to finish remodeling the first floor of the fellowship hall.

Local artists Staber and Chasnoff will perform folk music under the tent from 2-3 p.m., and Westport keyboardist Daniel Linder will

ummer brings thoughts of wedding bells. To this end, a gathering of family and friends of Heather Potter Walker enjoyed a bridal shower, while the groom and his friends had a celebration over a game of golf. There are at least three weddings coming up soon, and we wish them all happiness.

Soon there will be a lot of graduation parties dotted all around the community.

The school alumni will be holding their annual reunion Saturday, June 26 at Crickets.

The alumni class that celebrates their 50th reunion usually gather at other times also.

Other signs of summer is to have the Farmers’s Market open one day a week here in Willsboro. Yard sales will be popping up all over town and a big one at the Willsboro United Methodist church along with an auction on Sat. June 26.

Several enjoyed the elementary drama club production of “101 Dalmations” pre-

sented this past weekend at our local school; it was delightful. We have some up and coming future actors and actresses. We are also proud of several of our school teachers that quickly came to the aid of a student that was choking; all turned out well. There will be an AARP Drivers Safety Course offered Tuesday, June 29 and 30 at the Congregational church, each class will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day. Contact Edna Coonrod at 963-4594 to register or get more information.

We welcome the new Pharmacist, Donald Vicaro to the local Pharmacy; we wish him a long stay with our community. We learned that Rev. John Hunn and Tom Gillilland have both come home from the hospital, we wish them a complete recovery in the days ahead.

he Fourth of July in Essex will kick off with fireworks at dusk on the evening of Friday, July 2. The parade will step off at 11 a.m. on Saturday, the third. Line up for the parade will be at 10. Following the parade, there will be games at Beggs Park, including a homemade boat race at 2 p.m. Your craft must have two crew members, both of whom can swim, and your conveyance must not have ever been a boat or part of a boat. No motors are allowed and both crew members must be on the craft when it crosses the finish line. The town’s website, essexnewyork.com, has photos of previous entrants and the complete rules. As of this writing, neither the town hall staff nor your Valley News correspondent is planning to enter. On Sunday, the actual Fourth, no town events are planned.

Traps for the emerald ash borer are back hanging from trees along roadways around town. The traps looks like large purple box kites. The emerald ash borer is an insect that attacks ash trees, which we have lots

of around here. The borer is metallic green and can fit on a penny. It can kill a full grown ash in two years, which is very rapid, but has no interest in humans. The borer has been found in western New York and southern Quebec and the purpose of the traps is to see if it’s reached our area yet. There is no practical control for this bug except to limit its movement by restricting the transportation of fire wood to a 50 mile radius.

A golden eagle may be in our area. A huge bird has been spotted in several places near the lake, hunting over open ground. Goldens feed on other birds and small mammals, and people who have seen this bird noted, with alarm, that it seemed interested in their cats and puppies. Bald eagles, which are fairly common on Lake Champlain, feed on scavenged fish and the occasional duck. I’m hoping someone with a camera can get a good picture to confirm the identity of this imposing bird.

appy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there. Being a dad is one of my favorite hats to wear. There is plenty to do this weekend here in Keeseville for the entire family, some of which rightfully will spoil the fathers present.

First, Mac’s Ice Cream will have a Father’s Day special and as it is supposed to be hot; that might be a nice way to cool off.

The Chesterfield Fish and Game Club will have a 3-D archery shoot on Sunday, June 20 from 8:30 a.m. until well into the afternoon at 359 Green Street, Clintonville. In honor of Father’s Day, there will be a special Father-Child competition category. In case you work up an appetite, hamburgers and hot dogs will be available as well.

The day also marks the date for the second annual Pig n’ Swig. The event is run by the Keeseville Elks as a means to benefit many charities at once. The Elks major charities are New York State veterans and Cerebral Palsy as well as many area youth programs, Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets, and scholarships

for area students. Any money spent at this event will benefit our community in many different ways.

Motorcycle enthusiasts are invited to participate in a ride from the Keeseville Elks Lodge located at 1 Elks Lane to the Ticonderoga Elks Lodge and back for a benefit of the Veterans.

Last year had an impressive turnout and fund raising for a first-time event. Area car enthusiasts are also invited to show off their cars. Trophies will be awarded to both cars and motorcycles based on voting by the attending public, so even if you aren’t entered, you can have fun voting on your favorites. Registration for the bike rally runs from 9-10 a.m. Car competition registration will be from noon until 2 p.m. A horseshoe tournament will start at 2:30. Food, which will include BBQ Pork and Chicken as well as hamburgers and hot dogs and assorted salads, will be served and awards announced between 4 and 5 p.m. Live Music at the event will be provided by “Zip City.”

Should be a great Father’s Day for everybody. Have a great time.

missed the school concert recently but a parent kindly sent me a very nice description of it: “Music teacher Janice Kyle and pianist Russell Ames led each grade through spirited and fun songs. The seventh-grade chorus began the evening with several beautiful numbers, and then the kindergartners shyly came on stage, marveled at the bright stage lights, and then sang their songs. The first graders had cowboy hats which they threw in the air after they yodeled their way through a cowboy tune. The third graders wore hula skirts and sang a Hawaiian song. And then the fifth graders sang songs from the Revolutionary War. Westport has a lot of talented young singers and it was a joy to hear them sing.”

The North Country SPCA Animal Shelter invites you to enjoy “A Day in the Adirondacks,” their fashion show fundraiser at Floral Hall Saturday, June 19, from 4 to 7 p.m. Clothing and accessories will be supplied by local shops and modeled by the friends, supporters, and animals of the shelter. Over forty models will take part, with some fifteen stores from West-

port, Essex, Keene Valley, Lake Placid, and Plattsburgh providing the merchandise.

They'll also have a basket raffle with exciting prizes like cruiser bikes and other great items.Tasty human treats will be served by the fine chefs of Westport's Normandie Beach Resort, and there will be a cash bar. Call the Shelter at 962-8604 or Denise Wilson at 963-7476 for reservations.

Last week I wrote about Molly Rascoe, our WCS student who's dealing with kidney failure and other complications of a rare autoimmune disease. The WCS Student Council is sponsoring a Day for Molly Friday, June 18, from 4 to 8 p.m. on the school field, with music, square dancing, games, and much more. And the Polo Match for Molly, which was rained out last week, has been rescheduled for Saturday, June 19, starting at 1 p.m., off Stevenson Road.

Finally, the fireworks fund is only about onequarter of the way to its goal. You can help by donating to one of the boxes displayed in local businesses

his week the NCSPCA has some good news! The Golden Girls were both adopted by a loving couple in Vermontville. In addition, Indigo, a longtime shelter resident - of three years - who was recently featured, has found a wonderful home the local area with her new owner, Fred. He saw her picture in the Valley News, and upon visiting her, it was love at first sight. This week's picture, which shows Fred and Indigo, will warm your heart.

Our featured pet this week is Kitty, a handsome domestic-longhair fellow who arrived at the shelter with such a matted coat that the shelter staff had to give him a bath and a bit of a "buzz" cut. This is actually a very humane treatment for longhair cats in the summer, as it helps control shedding and overheating. Kitty seemed to enjoy the bath and pampering immensly and adores being petted, brushed, and getting a good chin scratch. This good-natured feline will win your heart with his purrs and nuzzles. His glossy black coat is beginning to look quite dapper now that it

Eat local, spend local

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

The Elizabethtown Post 1869 ELIZABETHTOWN - Our telegraph is now in successful running order, or would be if we had an expert operator instead of a “green hand.”

However, messages can be transmitted now much sooner than by “horse power.” The operator at Westport seems to be possessed with as much patience as Job has the credit of having had, and we hope, with her assistance and kind forbearance, soon to be an expert.

The Essex County Republican 1897 ELIZABETHTOWN - An article appeared in the Republican two or three weeks ago, concerning the planting of land-locked salmon in the streams hereabout flowing into Lake Champlain, and asking the people in the vicinity, who are fond of fishing, not to catch the salmon from the brooks, and to bring the matter to the attention of their own boys, as well as to others, in order that they may not take salmon which, at present, are small and will perhaps not go over a half pound in weight. The salmon are a light colored fish and have been miscalled by some “lake trout.” They stay in the brooks until two years old, when they run into the lake. At three years of age they spawn and are rapid breeders...and if they once get a start in the lake will furnish the finest of fishing and most toothsome of fish food. We trust everyone will take interest enough in this matter to preserve the small salmon, and will refrain from catching them from the brooks, but if one is hooked in fishing, will return it...to the water. Moistening his hand before handling the fish will prevent the removal of the matter commonly called slime from the skin of the fish, but which is

essential to its good health.

ST. ARMAND - The voters of this town, who voted to grant license at the last town meeting, may be able to reap full reward before another opportunity offers itself to change the order of things. We understand that our enterprising hotel keeper across the street from the Methodist church and beside the Methodist parsonage, M. J. LaBrake has applied for a license. Those attending church, who receive no benefit from the surroundings of God’s Holy Sanctuary, nor feel the hallowed influence of the spirit of Christ, may we presume, drown his remorse or conscience in the spirit of wine by stepping across the street.

The Adirondack Record-Elizabethtown Post WESTPORT - The annual Essex county farmers’ picnic is scheduled to be held on the fair grounds at Westport on Saturday of this week, and if you are looking for a day of real enjoyment do not fail to attend this gathering.

Farmers and others from all parts of the county will be there and there will be a program of entertainment which will please everyone. A soft ball game is scheduled to take place in the forenoon, and if you enjoy a good laugh be present either as a player or spectator. Everyone who has witnessed one of these games is a fan...

There is an abundance of action and both young and old play the game. In the afternoon there will be a regular ball game between teams representing Westport and Moriah. These teams are evenly matched and will put up an excellent brand of the national sport. Another attraction of the afternoon will be horse racing under the auspices of the Lewis-Elizabethtown Driving Club in which some of the best trotters and pacers in the county will participate.

Oil spill shows need for clean energy To the editor: The BP oil spill is a disaster for the entire ecology of the Gulf of Mexico and perhaps beyond; this includes the natural systems and all people who depend on them through fishing and tourism.

Thorough compensation, legal damages and mitigation of the oil's damage must be the order of the day in the near term, in the long term, the only thorough resolution of this mess can come from a conscious decision by each of us and our policy-makers to turn our economic engine away with all deliberate speed from the destructive power of oil and toward as many clean, sustainable energy sources as we can devise.

David Thomas-Train, Keene Valley

A

growing number of people are concerned about where and how the food that they consume is grown. So much is manufactured outside the country and “Made in China” is an all too common phrase. We have endured several health scares related to Chinese goods as they lack the health standards that we observe.

Several days ago I noticed several food items labeled made in China. I had not considered China as a food supplier for the United States. I cannot conceive of how it is possible for fish to be caught in China and shipped half way around the world at a profit. In an age of high oil prices it seems nearly inconceivable that these practices can remain profitable.

The primary purveyors of these goods are the “Big Box” stores. When these “Super Stores” come to a community, they often displace local stores. Local economies are greatly reduced or eliminated along with the attendant jobs and local business ownership.

The good news is that vegetable seed sales in American hit a record high this year. Many more Americans will grow their own vegetables this year, just like their parents and grandparents did. In addition, there are many more Farmer’s Markets and local food providers than there were ten years ago. Some states are aggressively promoting local markets and other constructs that allow for local food producers to connect with food consumers.

If you have not been to a Farmer’s Market you are missing an important opportunity to

obtain fresh fruits and vegetables – among other items. The greatest joy in having my own garden is the sublime taste of my own tomatoes. Compare

By Scot Hurlburt that to the tomatoes that come from far away and taste somewhat like a tomato. As for the delicious peas, corn and squash, there is simply no comparison.

Our scientists tell us oil will run out and will become very expensive. When the profit is gone from overseas food products, what will we do if local food producers have vanished?

Plant a garden with your children this year and show them the joy of growing your own food. Buy local foods and support the expansion of these efforts. You will be doing something good for your palette and our local economy. If you decide to plant a garden there are many wonderful resources available to help you including Essex County Cornell Cooperative Extension. Remember, all kids count.

Hope for Haiti raises hundreds

InBrief

To the editor: The members of the First Presbyterian Church of Saranac Lake would like to thank The Adirondack Daily Enterprise, North Country Public Radio, WNBZ, the Wawbeek Service Set at North Star Day Program and our community for supporting the Hope for Haiti Coffee House.

Musicians donated their talent and provided great entertainment. Joan Crane on finger style guitar, Joey Izzo with his piano creations and the Downright Dirty Dogs: Jon Zander, Dan Saulpaugh and Charlie Smith with their acoustic visions of folk, jazz, rock and punk wowed all who came.

Dunkin Donuts donated coffee, cups and supplies. Members of the congregation donated scrumptious baked goods, many folks helped with set up and clean up, and the Youth Group and Confirmation Class served people and took donations.

With every one’s help and support, over $1,400 was raised to help support Heifer International in Haiti. Heifer has created a network where people are supported in raising livestock and then passing on the fruits of their labor. It’s a gift that truly gives on giving and will help provide sustained self sufficiency in Haiti.

Elks get motors running at Pig ‘n’ Swig KEESEVILLE — Fathers Day could prove special for many local young people as Keeseville Elks Lodge #2072 will hold its second annual Pig ‘n’ Swig June 20 in an effort to raise money for several charities.

All are invited to join in the festivities as lodge members cook up a summer-style barbecue to cap off a day that includes a motorcycle rally, horseshoe tournament, and classic car show.

Roughly 65 local businesses are sponsoring the event, more than double the number from last year.

“Last year went very well,” said past exalted ruler David Gload. “we had between 200 and 225 people come.”

63 riders on 48 motorcycles raised $800 for the Albany veterans’ hospital at last year ’s event, and 22 cars participated in the car show. Another $1,800 was collected to fund the Elks’ charitable programs throughout the year.

“I think if it is a nice day, we will probably surpass last year by quite a bit,” said Gload.

At 10 a.m., motorcyclists will embark from the Keeseville Elks Lodge to the one in Ticonderoga. Registration

for the ride begins at 9 a.m. at a cost of $15 per bike and $5 for additional riders.

From noon to 2 p.m., entrants may register for the classic car competition, which will be judged by public vote.

There is a $15 registration fee.

Added this year is a horseshoe tournament that will start at 2:30 p.m. Also, Plattsburgh blues band Zip City will be on hand providing live music throughout the afternoon.

There is no cost to enjoy the food, which includes roast pork and chicken, salads, hamburgers and hot dogs.

Any donations are welcome.

Proceeds from the day go to benefit the many charitable causes patronized by the Elks, not the least of which are those afflicted with cerebral palsy.

“We donate quite a bit of money to youth programs in the local area,” Gload said, noting how local charities like Hannah’s Hope and Clinton Community College’s College Assistance Program have been major beneficiaries in recent years.

“Normally, in the course of the year, Keeseville Elks gets solicited by quite a few local causes,” he added. “We try to accommodate each and every one within our budgetary constraints.”

Keeseville Elks Lodge 2072 member Mark Burrell and his brother, Brian Burrell, both of Keeseville, cook pork during the first annual Pig ‘n’ Swig held at the lodge last year.

APA seeks more time to weigh fate of fire towers

By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — Adirondack Park Agency Commissioners voted Thursday to ask the state Department of Environmental Conservation to delay taking action regarding the future of a popular fire tower.

APA commissioners want DEC to wait until a multi-agency study on the costs and siting of the Hurricane Mountain fire tower is complete before making decisions that could result in the structure’s removal.

In concert with DEC and the state Office of

Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, the agency is currently considering two options that could allow the towers atop both Hurricane and St. Regis mountains to remain. Citing budget constraints, however, DEC officials have said it would be cheaper to remove the towers.

APA Chairman Curt Stiles said there’s no indication now that DEC is considering immediate removal of the towers, but DEC owns the towers and could remove them at any time.

“DEC has always had the right to remove a non-conforming use,” Stiles said. “They are basically working on the same page as we are.”

Significant public comment has been received

by APA and DEC in support of maintaining the towers. But at present, neither tower is in compliance with the State Land Master Plan. Both towers are currently considered non-conforming structures under current land-use designations.

DEC officials said Thursday the department has yet to set a timetable for their removal.

Stiles noted all three state entities are working together on the study.

The APA is considering creating small primitive or historic designations that would bring the towers into compliance. Under the historic designation, the cash-strapped state would be required to foot the bill for the restoration and maintenance

of the towers.

DEC officials estimate a single restoration could cost more than $50,000.

Proponents of the towers argue they represent significant artifacts of the region’s cultural history, something that could be lost if they are removed.

Opponents counter they are in clear violation of the SLMP, which seeks to remove remnants of past human activity in the more restrictive land use designations.

Both towers are listed on the state and federal Registers of Historic Places.

Exhibitors sought for 162nd annual Essex County Fair WESTPORT — The 162nd Essex County Fair is less than two months away, and organizers of the event are hoping to attract an even wider range of exhibitors.

The five-day event, nicknamed the “Adirondack Agricultural Fair,” is scheduled for Aug. 11-15, and Fair Board secretary Bertha Rand said some exciting changes are already in place for this year to try to bring more people in from throughout the region.

“I think getting the word out that this isn’t the Westport fair, that this is the County Fair, is the most important thing,” said Rand. “We want people to realize it’s their fair.”

Traditionally, the fair has offered prizes for many types of items such as arts, crafts, plants, produce, baked goods, and, of course, animals. Filling all the available space with exhibits has been a challenge in recent years, however.

“Many people have commented on the reduced number of exhibits in Floral Hall,” said Rand. “If people don’t bring in exhibits, there are no items to see.”

In an effort to get more items for display, three new exhibitor

categories have been added this year: Farming, Go Green, and Technology.

“We want to exhibit agriculture, and agriculture can be just about anything,” said Rand. “We also want to promote going green and recycling; things that are important to our kids’ future.”

“Technology students are producing videos, and we’d like to be able to play them in Floral Hall throughout the week,” she added.

To attract more beef and dairy exhibitors this year, the fair is offering farmers $20 for each head of cattle they bring to help defray the cost of required veterinary treatments.

Exhibits are sought for other categories that have seen reduced participation lately, such as wool, handsewn items, pottery, metalcraft, woodworking, and historical items. There is also a lot of space available in the conservation area for exhibits dealing with forestry, conservation, fishing, hunting, and wildlife.

The Essex County Idol contest returns this year and is open to any resident of Essex County. Audition dates will be scheduled soon.

As usual, ribbons and cash awards will be offered for exhibits

Politicians herald start of Champlain bridge construction

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — To residents of the northeastern New York and western Vermont, the construction of a new Lake Champlain Bridge is much more than a huge engineering project, top officials of the two states said this week as they conducted a groundbreaking ceremony for the span.

Gov. David Paterson said the event was a landmark in the lives of citizens from both states.

“This is an important step in reconnecting our two states and restoring this critical link for commerce, tourism, employment, education and medical services,” he said.

Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas offered similar remarks.

“Those who live and work in the area surrounding the Lake Champlain Bridge share family, friends and business relationships on both sides of the lake,” he said. “The ease and timeliness of transportation across Lake Champlain is critical to their way of life and economy.”

Douglas and Paterson were among a roster of federal, state and local officials at the groundbreaking ceremony, held June 8 at the base of the former bridge in Crown Point.

Construction of a new $69.6 million bridge is to begin June 11. The Lake Champlain Bridge was closed last October because of

Dignitaries from New York and Vermont gathered June 11 to commemorate construction of a new Crown Point bridge across Lake Champlain. The new $69.6 million bridge will be built at the same location as the previous structure and is expected to be completed in September 2011.

State Sen. Betty Little said the groundbreaking represented a turning point in area citizens’ lives.

“Since the bridge’s closure, our local communities, families and businesses have been

managing through a sort of triage to deal with the loss of this vital link,” she said. “Today marks the first step on the path to full recovery.”

State Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward and Vermont Rep. Diane Lanpher echoed those comments.

Flatiron Constructors, Inc. of Boulder, Colorado was awarded the contract to build the new bridge. While Flatiron will bring a core team of about a dozen managers, there will be jobs for local workers, U.S. Rep. Bill Owens said.

“This will help create jobs in communities that desperately need them,” Owens said. “I hope to see many people from my side of the lake, from my district, hired to work here.”

Rep. Scott Murphy said the Crown Point Bridge is a critical entryway to the North Country, and the area economy depends upon it for economic development and survival.

“Since the closure of the bridge, North Country communities have faced a tremendous challenge, and I applaud Gov. Paterson for providing this critical funding that will not only help our small businesses and farms, but will get our local economy back on track.”

Town of Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said the bridge project is an example of how government can and should operate effectively.

Summer activities begin at Whiteface

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com

Gondola WILMINGTON — The slopes of Whiteface Mountain are now open – for the summer.

The Olympic Regional Development Authority has announced the opening of its mountain biking trails, Cloudsplitter Gondola, and disc golf course at Whiteface effective June 18.

Disc golf According to ORDA spokesman Jon Lundin, the organization implemented the disc golf course at Whiteface last year after seeing the growing popularity of disc golf at other resorts.

“Some staff had played before and Lake Placid High School principal Dave Messner, who is an avid player, helped with the course layout and planning,” Lundin explained.

In disc golf, players use flying discs instead of clubs and balls to go from the tee box to the hole, usually a metal chain basket of some sort. The object of the game is the same as golf: Complete each hole with as few strokes, or in this case, throws as possible.

The course at Whiteface has nine holes, each about 300 feet in length. Starting and ending at the main lift, it follows some of the most popular ski trails, including Mixing Bowl, Wolf, Boreen, Roundabout and Lower Valley.

It proved to be quite popular as more than 650 rounds were played last year.

“It turned out to be a good family activity,” said Lundin. “We found the people who were taking advantage of the gondola rides would see people using the course and

Also beginning June 18, the eight-person Cloudsplitter Gondola will reopen for the summer and carry passengers from the Main Base Lodge to the top of Little Whiteface. At the summit of Little Whiteface, an observation deck and picnic area awaits, as well as breathtaking views. The cost is $18 for adults and juniors (ages 7-12) and seniors (ages 65+) are $13.

Mountain biking Whiteface’s 27 mountain bike trails will be open seven days a week starting June 25, but those anxious for a thrill can get started with a “bonus weekend” June 18-20.

Co-operated by ORDA and High Peaks Cyclery, the hand-built trails are open 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Guided tours of the new cross country “flume” trails will be offered throughout the weekend and Giant Bicycles will have their latest cross country bikes available for rental.

The downhill trails will also be open and will host the Pump Track Challenge at noon June 19 and a Super D race at noon June 20.

Day passes for the cross-country trails are $10 or $75 for a season pass. Access to the expert downhill trails require a gondola lift ticket.

Other events Cyclists and spectators can also stop by the Wilmington dirt jump and skills park 511 p.m. June 19 for the Kyle Ebbett and Friends Jump Jam.

The disc golf course at Whiteface Mountain opens for its second season June 18, one of several activities available at Whiteface during the summer.

Some of the top pros will be on hand, but the contest is open to amateurs in all age groups and abilities with prizes to be awarded for style and creativity.

Other events during the Jump Jam include live music from Damaged Goods and a free showing of a local bike film. The evening ends with the feature film, “Follow Me.” The ninth annual Whiteface Uphill Bike Race is also slated for June 19. Riders from all over the country will ascend up the eightmile long scenic Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway. Cyclists begin the 3,500-foot climb at 5:30 p.m. in group waves.

A barbecue dinner will be held following the race, and awards will be presented to the men’s and women’s overall winner and the top three finishers in each class.

The first Freaky Friday ice skating show of the season and the summer ’s opening Saturday night ice skating shows are also slated to begin this weekend.

The Freaky Friday ice show for June 18 is a fun, entertainment-based competition where skaters get the opportunity to demonstrate their creativity and style. A panel of

local “celebrity” judges evaluate the skaters, not on technical skills, but on artistry and level of entertainment. Admission is free.

The Saturday night ice shows feature internationally competitive figure skaters performing their programs, or group numbers used during competition, under the spotlight in the 1932 Jack Shea Arena. The cost is $10 for adults, juniors and seniors are $8, while children six and under are free.

Project From page 1 The Westport Town Board had unanimously approved the bond April 13 and set June 15 as the date for the permissive referendum.

“It’s frustrating,” said town councilman Michael “Ike” Tyler, noting how the board chose to initiate the referendum on its own.

“I can understand people don’t want their taxes raised, but it’s going to happen sooner or later.”

Had it passed, the building would have acted as a consolidated facility for the town’s Department of Public Works, the Westport Central School bus garage, the Westport Fire Department, and the town offices, each of which currently occupy separate premises dating from the 1950s or earlier.

Dave Whitford of the Plattsburgh-based architectural firm AES, lead engineer for the project, has noted in the past that all four of the older buildings, with the possible exception of the town hall, have aged beyond feasible renovation.

The ‘no’ vote from the referendum means all grant monies for the project are now lost, Connell said.

“There’s no question these facilities need to be replaced,” said Connell, “However they get replaced, whether it’s as three separate facilities, the taxpayers are going to foot the entire bill.”

Tyler noted a study by the town that de-

www.thevalleynews.org termined the cost of three separate facilities would be upwards of $10 million, not including any new land purchases.

“The future is scarier after the vote than it was before the vote,” said Tyler. “If people were worried about taxes, they should be really worried now.”

Tyler said the outdated fire station and DPW garage were of particular concern in the near future for safety reasons.

“If [the state] comes in and shuts us down, what do we do then?” he asked. “It will be a lot more expensive in an emergency situation to replace these buildings than it would have been with all this planning.”

Several public information meetings have been held throughout the past year for the project, which has been in the planning stages since 2002 when the town was awarded a $600,000 state grant to develop building plans.

“We had the $600,000 and we’re fairly certain that we had another $300,000 on the way,” Connell said, noting that the town was also prepared to apply for up to $500,000 in other grants after voters approved construction.

“Even though we held those informational meetings, the majority of the public didn’t seem to understand what the project really was,” said Connell. “I think if the public knew what the project was, the vote would have been a positive vote, but the people voted, so that’s it.”

When asked if the proposal could be put up for another vote, Connell said, “I don’t know.”

Obituaries Elaine Edmonds Gross June 5, 1915 - June 7, 2010 Elaine Edmonds Gross passed away June 7, 2010 at the Horace Nye Nursing Home in Elizabethtown, N.Y. with her children by her side. She celebrated her 95th Birthday with family Saturday, June 5.

In addition to raising remarkable children of her own, Elaine was a significant influence in the lives of many young people that she met through her decades of teaching at Keene Central and Elizabethtown High School.

Elaine was born June 5, 1915, in Sugarloaf, N.Y., the daughter of Percy Morrison Baird and Ruth Leonard Baird. She was raised on a dairy farm operated by her parents and the large community of family, friends and acquaintances that came to live there.

Her experience on the farm shaped Elaine’s life in many ways, not the least of which was her strong sense of the importance of community and connection with others.

Elaine graduated from Albany State Teacher’s College in 1936. There, she met her long time friend, Dorothy Irving, now living in Jay, N.Y. Elaine moved to Keene Valley, N.Y. in 1938 and taught all of the High School Math and Sciences in Keene Central School for many years. She then taught Math at Elizabethtown High School, also serving as Guidance Counselor and Latin teacher until her retirement in 1972.

Elaine married Elmore Edmonds of Keene Valley in 1940 and raised three children, Baird, Lynn and Beth. Elaine and Elmore enjoyed outdoor activities such as skiing and horseback riding.

Elaine was a strong supporter of the Keene Central ski teams and other youth activities, Keene Valley Fire Department, the Keene Valley Congregational Church and the Keene Valley Library.

Elmore passed away in 1982.

In 1992, Elaine married Joe Gross of New Jersey. Elaine and Joe spent nine years together, particularly enjoying outdoor activities such as canoeing and cross country skiing , until Joe’s death in 1999. On her 80th birthday canoe trip, Elaine broke her nose while hauling out over a beaver dam but insisted on completing the route before going to the Saranac hospital for examination.

For eight years, Elaine lived at the Neighborhood House in Keene Valley. For the last seven months, Elaine lived in the Horace Nye Nursing Home in Elizabethtown.

Throughout all of these years, Elaine has maintained close contact with her extended family and grandson, Joe Edmonds of Santa Monica, Calif., as well as a wide network of friends near and far.

Elaine, through her faith, science and life experience was a strong believer in the existence of logic, order and meaning in the universe--an attitude that she passed on to her children and which is evident in their lives. In the words of one acquaintance, she was “a solid and independent thinker and a spunky woman.” She approached life’s challenges with vigor, intelligence and enthusiasm and inspired others to do the same.

Elaine is survived by her three children, Baird Edmonds of Keene, N.Y, Lynn Edmonds of Jay, N.Y., and Beth Edmonds of Freeport, Maine; her grandson, Joe of Santa Monica, Calif.; a daughter-in-law, Nancy Edmonds of Jay, N.Y.; and sonsin-law John Hopkins of Jay, N.Y., and Dan Nick-

erson of Freeport, Maine; and many nieces and nephews, as well as her friend, Dorothy Irving of Jay, N.Y. Memorial Services were held at the Keene Valley Congregational Church, Keene Valley, N.Y., Sunday June 13, 2010, with minister Milton Dudley officiating. A reception followed in the Van Santvoord Room following the service.

A private interment will take place at Norton Cemetery at the convenience of the family.

The family would like to thank particularly the wonderful staff of the Keene Valley Neighborhood House and Unit 1 of the Horace Nye Nursing Home in Elizabethtown for their exceptional love, support and care of Elaine.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent in memory of Elaine Edmonds Gross to the Keene Valley Neighborhood House, PO Box 46, Keene Valley, NY 12943; Keene Valley Fire Department, PO Box 699, Keene Valley, NY 12943; or Keene Fire Department, PO Box 136, Keene, NY 12942.

Florence T. Banks May 31, 1914 - June 7, 2010 ELIZABETHTOWN—Florence T. Banks, 96, of Elizabethtown passed away Monday, June 7, 2010, at the Horace Nye Home hospice, following a brief illness.

She was born Florence Buck Taylor in Waltham, Mass., May 31, 1914. She graduated from Waltham High School and worked in retail sales until her marriage in 1939 to Earl A. Banks.

They had four children. They lived in various locations throughout the eastern United States and, during the Second World War, in Long Beach, Calif. They divorced in Massachusetts in 1955, and she later moved back to Southern California, where she worked for Orange County and, later, for the California First Bank of San Diego.

She retired in 1979, and in 1982 returned to Waltham, Mass., where she lived until moving to Keene Valley Neighborhood House a decade later. She quickly earned a reputation as a popular, energetic member of the community, and she delighted in visiting with neighbors and her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She devoted much of her time to writing and publishing three books: “My Autobiography: As I Remember It,” “Home in the Valley,” and “An Earthly Journey.”

She was predeceased by her son, Christopher Alan Banks in 1959. She is survived by her daughter Linda Banks of Concord, N.H.; her son, Russell Banks, and his wife, Chase Twichell, of Keene and Saratoga Springs; her son, Stephen Banks, and his wife, Anna, of Princeton, Idaho; seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

A memorial service to celebrate her life was held 11 a.m., Thursday, June 17, at the Westport Bible Church. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations in her name may be made to the North Country SPCA. For online condolences, please visit www.wmmarvins.com

AND IT STARTS IN OUR STORIES. When the tobacco companies advertise in stories, it’s New Yorkers who pay. And we all pay - smokers and non-smokers alike. The saddest part is that our kids pay, too. They’re the ones most influenced by tobacco marketing and in-store displays. The more kids see, the more likely they are to smoke.
