MINEVILLE — The Moriah Shock Incarceration Facility — and its 102 jobs — has been spared.

Gov. David Paterson announced last week he has restored funding for the prison, located in the Moriah hamlet of Mineville, in his 2010-11 executive budget.

“It’s absolutely great news for the community and Essex County,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “The day I got the call that they were going to close Moriah Shock was devastating news. This is wonderful

LAKE PLACID — One of Lake Placid’s most popular annual events promises to bring great summertime food and fun while supporting an important cause.

The fifth annual I Love Barbecue Festival will return to the Lake Placid Speedskating Oval July 2-4, featuring live music, celebrity appearances, children’s rides and games, and, of course, plenty of tasty grilled meat.

Proceeds from the three-day food fest benefit the Shipman Youth Center of Lake Placid, a not-for-profit community organization providing support to children and youth ages 10-18. Through its first four years, the festival has raised nearly $75,000 for the Shipman center.

“It is our biggest and most significant fundraiser, by far,” said Jon Fremante, executive director of the Shipman Youth Center. “The money is spent on supplies, after school sports, art programs, movies, bowling, dinners and more.”

Despite a weekend of rainy weather, at least 7,000 people attended last year ’s ILBBQF, raising more than $15,000 for the youth center.

Approximately 15 to 20 Shipman youth center attendees help with the festival, selling food and soda and working the children’s attractions.

“Last year ’s event brought 35 Kansas City Barbecue Society and four Junior World BBQ Championships teams to Lake Placid,” said ILBBQF and ILBJWC director of operations Dmitry Feld, “and we expect to grow again this year.”

More than 40 teams are expected to participate in this year ’s threeday festival competing for cash prizes and the title of New York State Barbecue Champion in four separate categories: chicken, pork ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket.

The $1,000 High Peaks Ford Midnight Grillin’ Bash, now an approved New England Barbecue Society competition, kicks off the three-day festival Friday night with food demonstrations by competing chefs and barbeque pit masters.

Among the teams competing is the 2006 and 2009 ILBBQF grand champion, “I Smell Smoke,” from Fitzwilliam, N.H. One of the team’s members, Mike Grudzinskas, passed away suddenly last year, and this year ’s people’s choice award for “Best Ribs in the East” will be awarded in his memory following the Buck-aRib event 1-3:30 p.m. July 3 where visitors can sample ribs cooked by each team for just $1 apiece.

Saturday, July 3 also marks the second annual I Love Barbecue Junior World Championship, which has expanded this year to include a youth division for ages 12-15.

In addition to great food, the festival also features plenty of entertainment. Zydeco musician C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band return to headline a slate of performers from both near and far.

“I can’t wait to come back and perform again,” said Chenier. “The people, the food, the Olympic village of Lake Placid and, of course, the hospitality of the ILBBQF organizers make this event very special.”

General admission to the festival is $6 for adults, while children 12 and under will be admitted free. For more information, visit the festival Web site at www.ILBBQF.com.

t’s Father’s Day and I have nothing for a new column. So I take a walk for inspiration. Before I leave, I go on-line as the Internet is happily increasing my circle of friends. One, probably the nicest soul I have met, is away from his children, so he is tending his roses and visiting a sick friend. Another I feel incredibly privileged to know is a single mom who has a normally trying teen, (there has been mention of selling the teen to gypsies). Single parenthood is never easy, little support, always the bad guy, no where to turn; I know, my wife was a single mom until I came into the picture. This friend is tending a garden and took the time to make me feel special and wish me a happy Father’s Day. Taking inspiration from my on-line friend visiting an ill friend, I decide to visit the graveyard to pay my respect to deceased fathers. On my way, I made eye contact with a driver, who beeped, smiled and waved. I never met this person before, but I happily waved back. Another motorist who had no traffic and a lot of time to make a turn waited

ere’s more information on events in Essex for Saturday, July 3.

There will be a pair of Firecracker Fun Runs in the morning, one for adults and one for kids. The adults will do five kilometers, departing from the intersection of Route 22 and Blockhouse Road at 8:30 a.m. Call Frank Hain at 963-7455 for more information. The kids’ run will start at 9:15 a.m. from in front of the ice cream shop.

Colleen Van Hoven, at 963-4084, can give you more details. Each participant in the kids’ run will get a certificate.

At 10 a.m., you are invited to join in singing patriotic songs at St. John’s Episcopal Church. The parade starts at 11 a.m. and at 2 p.m. will be the previously mentioned homemade boat race. The final town event of the day is a spelling bee at 3 p.m. at the town hall. Don’t forget, fireworks will be at dusk Friday, July 2.

There’s going to be a blood drive at the Essex Fire Station this Monday, June 28, from 4 to 7 p.m.

A lot of people around town are com-

for me to get to the corner and cross, also smiling and waving, another stranger to me.

As I neared the graveyard, I noticed a beautiful garden. The man tending it noticed me and stopped, smiled and proudly spoke of his horticultural masterpiece. It was a pleasant conversation with someone I’ve never met.

At the graveyard I was struck by how many years often separate the deaths of spouses. My father died before he met my wife or kids, which is sad. How much time is lost, how much is unsaid; how much is never discovered? How many lost Father’s Days?

We live in a relatively small community, and there are plenty of problems — taxes, school budgets, unemployment, etc. and while a smile and a wave won’t fix any of those it sure makes them a lot more bearable.

I’m glad we have holidays to honor special people, but why can’t every day be “make the world a more beautiful and nicer place.” I thank those who do it and challenge myself and others to try as well before it’s too late.

menting on how nice the community looks.

The lawn at the Octagonal School in Boquet is always neat and well-trimmed, which certainly enhances the appearance of this fine old building. I especially appreciate the job the highway crew did on mowing the road sides. Plain old Jersey Street is now like a parkway, and with the windows down you can enjoy the heavenly aromas of clover and birdsfoot trefoil in flower.

Trefoil is an alfalfa-like legume with small bright yellow flowers that grows very well on the edges of roads. It was originally used as a forage crop, and Essex and Westport were centers of its seed production.

I have another exotic pest to report, this one being the leek moth. It attacks all manner of aliums, including onions, garlic and chives, by first going after the leaves and then chewing through the bulb. It was first found in the U.S. last year in a backyard garden on Broad Street in Plattsburgh. Amy plans to set out a trap in my garlic patch to see if it’s reached Essex County yet.

ongratulations to our brilliant graduating Class of 2010! Your distinctive voices and personalities have contributed so much to our lives, and it’s hard to think of the school and the town without your energizing presence. You can be proud of all you’ve accomplished already, and as you embark on the next chapter in your lives, we hope you’ll keep us updated on your ongoing achievements. Good luck to all of you.

The annual Fourth of July Parade will be held Saturday, July 3, starting at noon up at the fairgrounds and working its way down Main Street to the library lawn. As always, it takes lots of creativity to reflect the many sides of our community — local businesses, community groups, traditional farm equipment, classic vehicles, animals. Participants are asked to arrive at the fairgrounds by 11:15 a.m. to register.

The Christopher Emmet Hallowell Fund will hold its annual Ice Cream Social and Magic Show in Ballard Park immediately after the parade. Later on, at dusk, the fire-

works will begin in Lee Park, finishing off the day’s festivities in honor of our independence.

The youth commission’s summer program will begin Tuesday, July 6 and run through Friday, Aug. 6 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays at Westport Central School. Applications are available in the school office and the town hall. Please sign up as soon as possible so they know how many participants to expect. The Town Beach at Ballard Park will be open daily with a lifeguard on duty starting Thursday, July 1, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This is a beautiful little beach and great place to bring your children for a swim.

And the Westport Library will hold its annual gigantic book sale from Friday, July 9 to Sunday, July 11, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a “First View” party Thursday, July 8, from 5 to 7 p.m. They’ve timed it so patrons can attend the Ballard Park concert at 7 p.m. Finally, if you’re interested in participating in the Westport Federated Church’s “Honky Tonk Homicide” murder mystery dinner Friday, July 30, call Alta La Pine at 962-4465.

The family of Barney Whitford would like to express sincere thanks to those who provided care and kindness throughout his challenging illness.

Special thanks to Julie Anderson, PA and the staff at the Westport Health Center. Julie’s honesty, compassion and genuine kindness was a great comfort.

Also, Dr. Paolo Fedi, Gastroenterologist Associates of Plattsburgh and Dr. Jan Duus and staff at the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center/Elizabethtown Community Hospital. Barney was always appreciative of the uplifting attitude of the nurses and staff.

He believed a smile and positive atmosphere to be as good, if not better, than any medicine or treatment. Thanks as well to the staff at High Peaks Hospice. With their support and guidance Barney was able to remain in his home, surrounded by loving family and caring friends. There are many people who have shared kind words and fond memories. We thank you for your thoughtfulness, cards, calls and concern.

O

ver the past two months, I have noticed many of my friends and coworkers suffering from sneezing and itchy, watery eyes with the blossoming of spring. I’ve shared some of their misery myself with a mild case of allergies to pollen. But you may not have considered that it’s highly possible your pet, as well as yourself, may suffer sensitivities to common environmental irritants. Below is some basic information that can help you to help your pet with these concerns.

Although pets occasionally exhibit the same watery eyes and sneezing we do, the most common reaction is scratching. Constant scratching may lead to welts, open sores, and even loss of hair. It’s important to try to pinpoint the source of the allergy in order to provide effective treatment.

Your veterinarian will likely conduct an in-depth interview and some testing to help determine the cause of your pet’s discomfort — for example, allergies can be caused by things your pet inhales, such as pollens, molds, and dust mites. Allergies can also be caused by flea bites. Certain allergies occur from items your pet ingests.

Contact allergies can be caused by such things as carpet fibers, plastics, and other things. The goal of intervention is elimination or reduction of your pet’s exposure to the irritant, but pets can also be treated

on’t we all know someone that knows something about everyone? These are the folks that must spend every waking hour prospecting for negative information about other people. They do not observe any statute of limitation; the incident may have occurred hours or decades earlier. They know the lowest moments in other people’s lives and seem to revel in reminding everyone about these forgettable periods that almost everyone experiences.

It wouldn’t be difficult to understand that a child reared in a home with venom in such abundance would turn out to be an unhappy or friendless young person at the least or at worst, another toxic and hypercritical adult. Conversely, children that live with caretakers who are tolerant and not judgmental of others, often help to create children and then adults that are more altruistic and capable of tolerance and kindness.

Parents can easily model kindness and tolerance of others. Let children become personally responsible for their own charitable acts. For example, if your children donate to a charity like the SPCA, let them put their name on the bag of dog food.

Don’t reward helping behavior with gifts or other external rewards. Instead, offer verbal praise and let the intrinsic reward embedded in being kind be the reward that the child experiences. There is some evi-

dence that giving children gifts for acts of kindness actually reduces their tendency to be kind.

When parents exude positive enBy Scot Hurlburt ergy, children pick up on it, including the way discipline is metered out. If there is excessive yelling, threatening and spanking, children may learn that when problems arise, it is a cue to become anxious or angry, often accompanied by yelling, threatening or hitting. Reasoning things out as calmly as possible may make your child a more caring, compassionate and less anxious adult.

Adults that calmly reason problems out often achieve better outcomes for themselves and for those around them. In the process, they are also modeling an adaptive behavior that can be well utilized by their children. Maybe my old Sunday school teacher had it right: “We cannot hold a torch to light another ’s way without brightening our own.”Remember, all kids count.

Local hairstylists donating hair, nylons to Gulf To the editor: The oil spill in the Gulf is causing wide spread damage, threatening wildlife and livelihoods, and has tragic, far-reaching implications. The Gulf Coast needs our help!

Even from this far away, there are things we can do. They need our oil-absorbent hair clippings and old tights to help contain the oil.

Stylists and clients of Adirondack Hair Associates in Port Henry are sending their hair to the Gulf Coast to do their part in assisting with the large-scale oil spill clean-up process. When you get your hair cut at Adirondack Hair, you too are helping sup-

port this effort. Your hair clippings will be sent via Matter Of Trust to help where it is most needed instead of going to waste.

Your hair will end up with either the Hair Mat Oil Spill Program where it is weaved into mats by U.S. manufacturers, or will be formed into hair booms by volunteers. The hair mats soak up oil to help clean beaches and harbors. The hair booms are created by stuffing hair clippings into recycled nylons which are tied together and used to encircle and contain the oil to keep it from spreading.

They need nylons! Nylons can be new or used, even with runs, as long as they are clean. If you have nylons, please feel free to drop them off at Adirondack Hair, 4299 Main St. in Port Henry and we will forward them with our next shipment.

For more information on what we are doing to help, visit us on Facebook or call us at 546-7717. To find out about the oil spill clean-up effort, visit MatterOfTrust.org.

Concertgoers need manners To the editor: As I sit and watch our children sing their songs for the end of the year concert and rejoice as some mimic the words that they have come to learn in a few months time, I was appalled at the amount of parents that just got up to leave as Mrs. Kerri Mero was making a brief speech. These children have only two concerts a year and work really hard to show us, the parents, their talent, and what do a lot of you do? You leave before it was even over. The concert was only one hour. I’m sure you can spare that. If not, don’t come.

GUESTVIEWPOINT Boquet River Association lauds treatment facility effort

T

he Boquet River Association commends the town of Elizabethtown for efforts planning a Waste Water Treatment Facility and for providing an opportunity for their community to vote on the proposed Waste Water Treatment Facility. There are many pros and cons to this project.

Elizabethtown sits on a large sand bank left by glaciers 10,000 years ago. Most people have no problem getting rid of their waste water as the percolation rate is extremely high.

However, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation water testing during the summer shows The Branch having increased levels of coliform bacteria, an indication of possible water contamination.

There are about 20 houses on Water Street and several businesses that do not have “adequate septic treatment” as defined by NYS Department of Health (100 feet from surface water and 4 feet deep, oxygenated soil). This restricts the potential for the growth of the town. In addition, many residents and businesses face potential fines.

The hospital, county buildings and Horace Nye will have to build their own WWTF if they cannot connect to a town system. This would likely be located in the middle of town and adjacent to The Branch. It would be very expensive for them, and once completed, they would not financially contribute to a community system which would raise costs in the future for everyone else.

It is expensive to build and operate a WWTF and that cost falls on the sewer district property owners. Many people have already spent a lot of money on effective septic systems, and do not want to spend more to help out their neighbors. In this instance the cost could be between $360 and $650 per dwelling and more for institutional users. About half of this cost is for the debt service on the construction and the other half would be for operation and maintenance. Anyone with an operating system could elect to pay the debt service until their current system fails when they could then hook into the system at the full rate.

The average community in New York with WWTF pays $890 per dwelling per year, which is much more than the expected Elizabethtown rate. There are several reasons for the lower cost: several large grants have been secured, the sandy soils allow for easy digging, the new proposed site behind the golf course allows for on-site treatment of the solids in a reed bed, the effluent will be irrigated onto the golf course further filtering the treated waste water, hook-up costs are included in the grant funds, and it is cheaper than piping one mile to the Fish and Game Club. Furthermore there will be no disturbance to Court Street which saves on adjacent road repairs.

The town was able to secure significant grants due to strong support from NYSDEC and USDA Rural Development. Advantageous timing allowed the town to obtain Federal Stimulus funds which was especially helpful. Of the $9,550,000 construction costs, $7,692,500 are offset through grants leaving $1,757,500 in no interest loans and $100,000 from a 2.5 percent loan.

Few communities can grow or sustain themselves without WWTF. New businesses are reluctant to locate in towns that do not protect their water and environment as they would have to shoulder the liability and expenses themselves. Some of our businesses could be closed by the NYS DOH for substandard lot size, too fast perc tests, or oil runoff. With a WWTF, the housing density could be increased in the hamlet, which is a “green” policy as people can walk to stores and services instead of driving, and forest and agricultural land is not converted to housing. Furthermore, the filtering of the cleaned outflow through the golf course is a very “green” project as no water will be directly discharged to surface water.

The Boquet River Association Board of Directors considers this an opportunity to protect the Boquet River, and create a greener community while encouraging renewed community development and jobs.

ECH program aids weight loss goals ELIZABETHTOWN — A new program offered through Elizabethtown Community Hospital is showing plenty of potential to help patients improve their health by losing weight.

The Medical Weight Loss program has been in place at ECH since April, and is reporting very positive results.

“Obesity has become a major issue throughout United States,” said Dr. Rob DeMuro, a physician at ECH who employs the program, “and we've certainly seen it here.”

DeMuro noted how obesity increases the risk of both heart disease and cancer, the two leading causes of death among adults in the U.S., and said the cost of medical care for the complications of obesity alone can be astronomical.

“We deal with obesity daily and found that, from a medical standpoint, we had very few options,” DeMuro said. “Medications are limited, so we looked for a program that was safe and comprehensive.”

The program, licensed by a franchise called the Center for Medical Weight Loss, tailors a program specifically to patients

based on how much weight they need to lose. Weekly or bi-weekly visits are scheduled with the physician to monitor progress.

“We were skeptical at first whether this would work, but have been very pleased with the responses so far,” said DeMuro.

Patients are measured for body composition – their percentages of fat, muscle and water, and their metabolic rate – to determine the best course of treatment.

Most often, patients are placed on a lowcalorie diet that utilizes supplemental shakes and nutrition bars, which are provided through the program, in combination with regular exercise. Additional treatments, such as appetite suppressants or even bariatric surgery, can be employed if needed.

“There is a modified option with more calories were people can eat regular food if need be,” DeMuro said.

Elizabethtown resident Jim Ratliff was among the first patients to utilize the Medical Weight Loss program at ECH. Reaching a weight of more than 310 pounds in March, an illness caused him to be bedridden for three straight days. The experience prompted him to seek a weight loss solution.

Artist offering watercolor workshops

“Now I don’t live to eat; I eat to live,” Ratliff said, noting how he spreads out the four shakes of his 960-calorie daily diet to minimize hunger.

Since starting the program April 10, Ratliff is down to 242 pounds; averaging about a pound of weight loss each day for a total of more than 65 pounds lost.

“I’m floored with the results; it’s way beyond what I thought I would get with all this,” Ratliff said, adding that he hopes to continue losing weight. “I thank God every day, and I thank Dr. DeMuro for offering this program.”

Ratliff said he would recommend the program to anybody, noting how the shakes and bars work well for his always-on-the-go lifestyle, but adds that it does take commitment.

“How successful our patients are depends on various factors,” said DeMuro. “The individual's that are losing eight to 10 pounds a week are all exercising daily. We have some individuals who do not exercise and lose one or two pounds a week. That may not seem like much but if you add it up for a number of months it becomes significant weight loss.”

There are some times he’s tempted to eat some of the foods he used to eat, Ratliff said, “but then I remember what I felt like when I was in bed, and I don’t want to feel that way again.”

“This program is about losing weight, but also helping to educate people during office visits every one to two weeks about the changes they need to make long-term to either continue with weight loss or maintaining their current body weight,” DeMuro added. “We cannot stress enough to individuals that exercise is crucial to keep weight off once you achieve your goal.”

To that end, the hospital is developing a program in their physical therapy department to allow Medical Weight Loss patients use of exercise equipment there year-round.

“It’s important to offer our community access to a variety of specialized services such as this,” said ECH director of community relations Jane Hooper. “The hospital works to ensure that the entire community stays healthy, and this Medical Weight Loss program contributes to that goal.”

Some health insurance plans may cover the cost of the Medical Weight Loss program depending on what type of treatment is needed. For more information about the Medical Weight Loss program at ECH, contact the hospital at 873-6377.

NCCC budget keeps county funding level College raises tuition to offset loss of state aid

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — North Country Community College will look to fill the gap left by a loss of state aid by asking more from its students rather than local taxpayers.

Administrators of NCCC presented their proposed budget to the Essex County Finance Committee June 21, noting a plan for level funding from sponsor counties.

Both Essex and Franklin counties each contribute $2.38 million to the college annually, which would remain the same for the 2010-2011 year.

Instead, the college plans to raise tuition $70 to $3,730 per year for in-state students, a 1.9percent increase. Tuition for out-of-state students will rise another $200 per year, a 2.2-percent increase.

College president Dr. Carol Brown said the proposed budget aims to plan for a worst-case scenario.

“At this point we do not know our funding from the State University of New York,” she said, noting how NCCC, like other community colleges across the state, has seen significant cuts in per-student funding from the state recently.

State aid for the coming year is projected at $2,260 for each full-time student equivalent.

That’s $415 less than the prior year. The amount of aid the college receives for students living on campus is also expected to decrease.

Another loss of revenue comes in the form of a rate decrease the college is allowed to charge counties outside of Essex and Franklin from which some students attend.

Fortunately, enrollment is projected to rise. The college welcomed more than 2,200 full-time and part-time students this past year, amounting to 1,185 full-time equivalencies. About 1,375 FTEs are anticipated for next year.

The vast majority of those students are eligible for state tuition aid.

The college’s overall spending is projected to increase 2.5 percent as more staff is hired to handle the rise in enrollment.

The budget reflects known staffing and salaries, but vice president for fiscal operations William Chapin said the college has some vacant positions it anticipates will need to be filled.

Golf Tourney to benefit breast cancer research ELIZABETHTOWN — On Wednesday, June 30, the Wednesday Ladies League will be sponsoring its annual Rally for the Cure Golf Tournament at Cobble Hill Golf Course. Registration is from 3:30-5 p.m. and play can start anytime.

A $20 players fee includes a one-year magazine subscription plus the cost of golf. There will be a closest-to-the-pin competition on the seventh hole. All proceeds will benefit the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Essex native and art conservator Emily Gardner Phillips carefully touches up some blemishes on the grand drape, a historic painted curtain at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall.

Grange hall reclaims historical curtain

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WHALLONSBURG — A historic painted curtain at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall has been professionally restored so it might once again grace the stage.

The colorful curtain, entitled “Offshore,” depicts a derelict sailboat cast against a rocky shoreline. It was used countless times at the grange hall throughout the past 80-plus years.

According to Whallonsburg Civic Association project manager Ted Cornell, the Whallonsburg Grange Hall, like many theaters and opera houses in the early 20th century, used painted curtains as backdrops for theatrical productions.

“They were sets,” Cornell explained. “They would roll up and roll down, and you’d be looking at a forest or an apartment or a city street.”

The gigantic murals were hand-painted by a variety of artists, many employing elaborate trompe-loeil techniques to give the illusion of three dimensions. Each theater often had their own custom-made “grand drape” that served as the default background and often depicted a curtain being drawn back to reveal a dramatic scene.

Painted curtains slowly fell out of use, however, and most theaters either disposed of them or put them in storage. Whallonsburg’s grand drape became mainly a decorative piece used only for special occasions.

It was one of six sets of curtains volunteers found tucked away in the grange hall balcony while cleaning and renovating the nearly century-old building last year, which were painted by Cavendish, Vt. artist William H. Bailey, circa 1928.

Essex native Emily Gardner Phillips has been leading the restoration project on the grand drape, and said she remembers seeing it displayed when she was young.

“She grew up here on the Gardner farm and went away to school to study art conservation,” said Cornell. “She’s undertaken this project as a benefit to the community.”

Phillips moved back to her hometown last year after spending more than eight years preserving painted curtains as part of the Vermont Painted Curtain Project.

Aided by local volunteers and a grant from the Honeybee Foundation, Phillips has cleaned most of the grange hall’s curtains to be better preserved in storage.

The WCA, which oversees the grange hall and its renovations, had different plans for the grand drape, however, selecting it to be restored and re-hung.

“I think the goal in this project, just like the one in Vermont, is to stabilize these curtains,” said Phillips, “just get them back to the point where they can be hung and enjoyed in a safe manner.”

“Once they get some idea that the curtains can go back on the stage, they get excited and very happy,” said Christine Hadsel, director of the Vermont Painted Curtain Project. “Out of the 185 curtains we’ve restored in Vermont, we’ve probably hung 150 of them.”

A survey is ongoing to locate painted curtains still in existence, Hadsel said, in hopes they can be preserved.

“The idea is to keep them around for at least another 100 years,” she said.

Phillips and Hadsel spent several hours at the grange hall June 15 and 16, repairing tears and blemishes on the grand drape and preparing it for future use. The curtain is expected to be hung Monday, July 5.

Cornell said returning the painted curtain to some of its former glory will bring more authenticity to the building.

“It’s a wonderful thing to have, and I think it’s a signature piece,” said Cornell. “It’s a joy to look at; it distinguishes the place the way a painting does.”

“It stands out,” he added, “and you won’t forget it.”

Schock From page 1 news.”

Paterson and leaders of the Senate and Assembly, as part of the state budget process, reached an agreement to continue operating the Moriah facility, as well as a medium-security correctional facility in Ogdensburg.

Both facilities had been slated for closure under Paterson’s original budget proposal.

Scozzafava made four trips to Albany to lobby the governor and state leaders to keep the prison open. He also met with the governor and other state officials when they came to Crown Point for Lake Champlain Bridge activities.

“It was a team effort from day one,” Scozzafava said of the effort to save Moriah Shock.

“The Essex County Board of Supervisors, County Board Chairman Randy Douglas, the county manager, everyone worked very hard.”

Paterson was the key, though, according to Scozzafava.

“The governor was willing to meet with us and he listened,” Scozzafava said.

Paterson called Scozzafava with the news June 18.

“He told me, ‘You people have been hit hard enough with the bridge closing and economy’,” Scozzafava related. “He showed real compassion for our residents.”

The Moriah Shock Incarceration Facility houses nonviolent offenders in a military boot camp-type program that involves exercise, physical labor, academics and substance abuse treatment.

It is one of four shock incarceration facilities in the state.

The 200-bed camp employs 102 and is the second-largest employer in Moriah.

Scozzafava said some former inmates contacted state officials asking that Moriah Shock be spared.

“The program is a great service to first time offenders,” said Scozzafava, who once worked at the facility. “It’s turned around thousands of lives. Even former inmates supported Moriah Shock.”

The Moriah supervisor also noted the efforts of state Sen. Betty Little and Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward. Little brought Sen. Ruth Hassell-Thompson, a Democrat from Westchester County who is chairwoman of the Senate Crime Victims, Crime & Corrections Committee, to Moriah for a tour of the facility.

Besides elected officials, the New York State Correctional Officers Police Benevolent Association, the union that represents correction officers, lobbied for Moriah Shock and there were several public rallies to demonstrate community support.

“This agreement recognizes the incredibly challenging fiscal times New York is facing, while also making clear that our public safety cannot be put on the chopping block,” said Donn Rowe, president of the New York State Correctional Officers Police Benevolent Association.

To further support keeping the prison open, Essex County created an economic analysis of the impact closing the prison would have on Moriah, the county and the region.

The report cited an $8 million annual negative impact on Essex County should the facility close.

Moriah Shock opened in 1989 on the site of the former Republic Steel Fisher Mine. Republic Steel employed more than 600 people when it closed in 1972.

Valley News - 21

Summer arrives Adirondack style: Let the fun begin

A

cross the Northern Hemisphere, summer officially began Monday, June 21 at 7:28 am. However, if the quality of weather were taken into account, it seems as if we’ve been enjoying summer since early April.

For a few lucky, summer lasts year ‘round. For them, it has become almost a state of mind, it is part of the mystery of the Adirondacks and its residents. We are willing to suffer through a long, hard winter, because we know that when summer comes, time slows down.

It’s a quieter, cooler and fresher time, with a late light and a quick night. The pace slows and people return to camp life.

It is announced by the late night wail of a loon or the throaty roar of an old, ChrisCraft motoring up the lake in the morning’s fog.

In my mind’s view, summer begins with the season’s first muggy night. It comes at a time when the hoot of an owl can still be heard from the nearby woods. It happens as lightning bugs flicker in the darkness and June Bugs begin to bounce off the window screens. It’s the two months that allow us to put up with the other 10 months of unpredictable weather.

Sure, I know the roads will get busy, but often, the traffic is bringing old friends home, whether to a camp, a tent or a childhood home. In an odd way, summer has the unique ability of bringing us all back home.

It is a season of many scents. Likely the most odiferous odor, a smell that continues to conjure up the most memories, is the scent of camp. It is an old smell that lingers inside all the old camps and it has the potency, with just a simple wiff, to make us all kids again.

It is one part woodsmoke aged cedar and one part moth balls, mixed with a squirt of Ol’ Woodsman, a wet, wool blanket and the lingering smell of old canvas. It is a smell that can only be duplicated in camp, and it is a scent that serves to transport back to calmer, easier days when the time drifted by slowly and everything was still exciting.

Camp life hasn’t changed much over the years. Certainly there are a number of conveniences that have raised comfort levels as the gear is lighter and the chow is better, but time spent in camp is still the time spent in camp. It’s more than something in the air.

In the early 1880’s, a writer by the name of Wachusett from Long Lake, wrote in a letter to Woods and Waters magazine, “With the Sportsmen who have come into the wilderness there mingles this year a larger proportion than ever before of invalids attracted here by reports of the marvelous healing properties in the air of especial benefits in the cases of lung diseases. “ “The majority of these people derive invaluable benefit from their visit because most of them come in the initial stages of their malady at first capable of the cure.”

He continued, “The singular sweetness of the air is apparent to all and is even more manifest in rowing on the water than in walking or camping in the woods. There is nothing enervating and at the same time nothing dangerously bracing about it.”

Santanoni Wagon Rides If you’d like a taste of camp life, with a touch of the grand old heydays of the Adirondacks, it may be time pay a visit to the little village of Newcomb.

Newcomb is home to Great Camp Santanoni, Huntington Forest, the APA Visitors Interpretive Center, the headwaters of the Hudson River and lots of wild land.

It is also the place where Dave O’Donnell is now regularly offering horse and wagon rides into the once grand, Great

While the Tapanzee Bridge requires six lanes of traffic and nearly a mile of roadway to span the mighty Hudson River, just 300 miles to the north in Newcomb, only a simple, single-lane bridge is necessary to cross the river.

Camp Santanoni. A winding five-mile journey over a wooded road brings visitors to the camp, located on the shore of Newcomb Lake.

Guests can visit for the day, or pack in gear and a boat to spend the week. And while visitors can still pedal a bike to the lake, the ride in a covered wagon is a far bit easier, and the shaded top seems to keep the deer flies at bay.

O’Donnell, a native of Newcomb, has returned to his boyhood home to take the reins from Ken Helms, who had ably handled horse packing chores in the region for many years.

O’Donnell will continue to uphold the traditions, as did Helms, of packing in hunters, anglers and other lovers of the outdoors. Reservations are available from Santanoni Wagon Rides at 518-582-2360. Enjoy the ride, the scenery at the end of the trip is worth it!

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.
