By Matt Bosley

matt@denpubs.com WILMINGTON — An innovative fundraiser to benefit the Wilmington Youth Program is putting the area’s creative resources to good use.

“Chairs of Wilmington” features several Adirondack-style chairs, each hand-painted with imagery representative of the town and its surroundings.

Rarilee Conway, a board member for the Wilmington Youth Program, said inspiration for the project came from similar artistic exhibits in New Hampshire and Vermont where ...See Chairs on page 3

Chairs

Valley News - 3

Adirondack History Center presents lectures

from page 1 artists painted statues of cows and displayed them outdoors on sidewalks and streetcorners.

“We decided to do chairs because that seemed kind of appropriate for us,” Conway said.

“We have 17 chairs from 15 different artists,” she explained, “and they’re all local people who’ve donated their time.”

The chairs will be auctioned as a fundraiser for the many Wilmington Youth activities, such as the Youth Center, skateboard park, and new bicycle dirt jump park.

“We also have a program where we provide skiing free of charge for youth in Wilmington, and that’s a very expensive program,” said Conway.

Some Wilmington youth were even involved in painting the chairs, acting as apprentices to local artists to decorate the bold and colorful chairs.

“Each chair is unique and special,” Conway said. “There are a lot of talented people around here, so they’re all pretty creative.”

The chairs have been on display since Memorial Day at several key businesses and organizations throughout town, each of which helped sponsor them.

Chairs can be viewed at T&T Tanning and Fitness Center, the Whiteface Business and Tourism Center, Mountain Brook Lodge, AuSable River Two Fly Shop, NBT Bank, The Flume, The Hungry Trout Fly Shop, Whiteface Mountain, Whiteface Chalet, High Peaks Health Center, Wilmington Youth Center, River Stone Wellness, Whiteface Insurance and Investments, The Little Supermarket, Mulvey’s Adirondack Farm Market, and The Children’s Garden.

Bids on each of the chairs start at $100, and can be placed from now until the final auction Sept. 11 at the Festival of Colors. To place a bid, leave a note at the chair ’s location, or contact either Meg Parker at 802-309-5447 or Conway at 524-0493.

Photo at left: This two-seater Adirondack chair, sponsored by the High Peaks Health Center, depicts Whiteface Mountain and Little Whiteface. It’s one of many artistic chairs being auctioned as part of the “Chairs of Wilmington” fundraiser for Wilmington Youth programs.

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Adirondack History Center Museum will host a presentation entitled “Can History be Reconciled? A Conversation on Compassion & Courage” Friday, July 9, 4 p.m. Don Papson, President of the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association, will engage the audience in a discussion on compassion and courage in light of oppression, slavery and liberation.

July 11 will feature a lecture entitled “Captain Brown’s Birthday Party.” Amy Godine will examine how, rom 1922 into the 1960s, black pilgrims from northern cities joined ranks with white Adirondackers to honor the May 9 birthday of the militant abolitionist John Brown with speeches, concerts, sermons and prayers, earning Lake Placid a reputation as an oasis of interracial tranquility in the age of Jim Crow.

Admission is $5 for museum members or $8 for non-members. Reservations are recommended. For more information, call the museum at 873-6466.

KEESEVILLE Janice Allen • 963-8912 • allens@willex.com

I

would like to thank Tom Mero for doing such a great job of cleaning up the weeds in front of the old school, it really looks much better. As a community, we were sad to learn of a very tragic accident this past week here on Mountain View Drive. A young woman did not make it home and leaves three children. We also lost a dear friend, Rona Hams, this past week; she was a friend to many and was a great parent and foster parent over the years.

We have such a great Visitor ’s Center here in Willsboro and proud to make it available to those in need of information and the bathrooms. So it is hard to understand why someone would do another small act of vandalism and flood out one of our bathrooms. Another prideful thing in our community is the flower barrels around town. Several volunteers work hard to keep them watered and weeded, so it is sad when they find some of the plants pulled up and thrown on the ground.

The Fourth of July weekend will soon be

upon us, so remember the fireworks will be down in Essex Friday evening, and the parade and other events will be Saturday, July 3.

The next public supper at the Willsboro United Methodist Church will be Wednesday, July 7, serving baked ham, macaroni & cheese, baked beans, rolls and desserts; they start serving at 4:30 p.m. Graduation went well this year and it was very impressive all the scholarship funds that were handed out to the graduates. Congratulations to Eric McCauliffe for his graduation from the State University of New York at Oswego last December. He has now been accepted to and enrolled in the masters of social studies education at Hawaii Pacific University located in Honolulu for a twoyear program starting Sept. 7.

Happy Birthday: Tammy Benway 7/1, Bob McShane 7/2, Jocelyn Belzile 7/5, Lucille Little 7/6, Herb Longware 7/7, Sarah Sayward 7/8, Lee Sloper 7/8, Taylor Crowningshield 7/8, Colleen Blanchard 7/8, Austin Strong 7/8. Happy Anniversary to Bobbi & Brad Paye 7/3.

S

chool is out and summer has begun. It is like a fresh start. Taking advantage of this fresh start is easy. First we have the start of the Farmer’s Market in Keeseville every Friday now through Sept. 3 from 4-7 p.m.The Altar Rosary Society is having a Bake Sale Saturday, July 3, at 9 a.m. in front of Adirondack Hardware. The Keeseville Public Library has several events planned for children and families so head in to find out events, dates, and times.

Now would be a good time to check with the schools as this is great time to get people together to repair broken equipment and spruce up the look of the places. Volunteering is especially key in times when the schools’ money is very limited and we want to avoid raising taxes as a means to get revenue. Why pay for it when we can do it ourselves? This is also true for the elderly with limited income. Check with some of our neighbors to see if any simple yard work or repairs can be done to help our own community.

Also, with schools being closed, children

are out and about, so take extra caution driving. The school has a couple great links on Internet safety, something we should never take for granted. Check them out at www.avcs.org.

The AuSable River is very tempting for fishing. New York State has many regulations about limits, sizes and even some species identified as catch and release only. It would pay to visit the state’s Web site in order to make sure unwanted tickets won’t mar the summer fun. The site also has information about common dangers around the waters, which is worth becoming familiar with as well. Find all the information at www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/fishing.html.

Another thing to keep in mind: The garden contest is in full swing and runs through the end of July. It’s not too late to beautify our community and get some bragging rights and acknowledgement for all the work. I find Adirondack Hardware is a wealth of good information of gardeners to be such as myself.

Enjoy our community.

ere are a couple of more items to consider for this weekend. The transfer station will be closed Saturday, July 3, but will be open as usual Monday, July 5. The Essex Community Church will be offering strawberry shortcake and drinks this Saturday, starting at 10 a.m., which will certainly enhance your enjoyment of the parade and will benefit the church as well.

The new septic system at the Whallonsburg Grange hall is just about complete, and it looks like a nicely done job.

The town hall now has a Wi-Fi system so you can use the Internet simply by clicking on “Town of Essex” and skipping over the password. You and your computer have to be within 200 feet of the building to use it.

In my garden, the peas are finally filling out and potatoes are flowering, which means sweet new potatoes will be ready in a couple weeks. My garlic crop seems to have escaped the leek moth threat and I’ll

be pulling it very soon now. It’s a bit tricky knowing when to harvest garlic — too early and the heads are undersize; too late and the wrapper leaves around the head fall away, leaving bare cloves.

It seems I can’t write a column without warning you of some evil insect or plague, and this one’s no exception. Today’s subject: wild parsnip. This plant, common along roadsides and open areas, has tall, umbrella shaped yellow green flowers, very much like the herb dill. The flowers are open now. Amy says it looks like Queen Anne’s lace, but wild parsnip is much taller and not white. Wild parsnip is an aggressive invader, not a native, and if you come into contact with it, beware. The sap contains a compound that is activated by ultraviolet light and can cause serious skin burns. Poison ivy produces itching, while wild parsnip burns, and can leave scars and skin discoloration.

ere’s the latest on the proposed municipal building project, which went down by a slender margin in a low-turnout vote a couple of weeks ago: The upshot, I just learned from supervisor Dan Connell, is the town board is looking at putting the project back up for another vote, probably in September.

Connell said he asked the Secretary of State to give the town a little more time before returning the nearly $600,000 grant it got toward planning the project. He then got in touch with the lawyers, who told him the project could be put back up for another vote, with either same plan or a new one.

Connell took the information to the committee working on the project at a meeting June 21, and their unanimous recommendation to the town board was to put it back up with the same plan as before. In its meeting that same evening, the board’s consensus was to accept that recommendation.

Hopefully, turnout will be better this time.

Check back here for further developments.

Meanwhile, we’ve got a full plate of events coming up. Of course, there’s our parade Saturday, July 3, at noon, followed by the Ice Cream Social and Magic Show. And the fireworks at dusk in Lee Park. (The fireworks fund is only about halfway there, so please drop some cash in the boxes at local businesses. They’ll keep collecting after the Fourth if necessary.)

If you’re interested in painting, swing by Ballard Park before the parade Saturday, where you can watch artists painting from 9 a.m. to noon or attend a watercolor workshop with Kevin Raines, a painter who lives in Wadhams, from 9 to 11a.m. This is part of the Arts Council’s summer-long Plein Air event, which continues Saturday afternoon with a tour of local artists’ studios. Local artists who will open their studios include Ellen Few Anderson, Shelle Bailey, Dee Carroll, Meredith Johnston, Kevin Raines, Linda Smyth, and Alison Weld. Call the Arts Council at 962-8778 or stop by the Heritage House and pick up a map. Follow the yellow balloons.

M

y friends and family have often had a chuckle at my expense when I cringe at the sound of a fire engine going by, or avoid a fireworks display due to the noise. However, your pets most likely feel very much the same as I do about loud noises, as can easily be witnessed by their behavior during the noisy thunderstorms or around a gunshot.

With Fourth of July festivities on the way, it is helpful to know some of the signs of noise phobia in your pet and to be considerate of his welfare during this event.

Commonly seen signs of noise phobias include shaking or trembling; excessive drooling; barking or howling; trying to hide or get into or out of the house, fence, or other enclosure; refusing to eat food; and possibly loss of bowel or bladder control from prolonged stress. Unfortunately, your pet can't put his hands over his ears the way a human does, so they really have no defense. It doesn't matter if the fears are “rational” or not. It should be noted that scolding a frightened animal is not effective and will only intensify the fears.

And yes, my family telling me that there is nothing to fear didn't do much to stop my reactions, either.

There are some things you can do to help reduce the stress your pet experiences: keep your pet home during noisy

community events; keep your pet indoors preferably with some soothing background noise such as television or mu- Creamsickle sic; provide a safe “escape” place where your pet can hide - something that is always available to him; use a leash or carrier if you do take your pet to a noisy event; and take your pet for a walk prior to the event to make sure he has a chance to “use the restroom” and get some of the energy out of his system. Taking these precautions will make this a more pleasant holiday for both you and your pet.

Our featured pet today is Creamsickle, a Domestic Longhair mix who is as sweet as his name. We don't know where this gentle fellow came from, as he was either lost or abondoned prior to coming to the shelter.

He is definitely ready to find a new family, especially someone looking for a cat who is declawed. He is affectionate and playful, but also a definite lap cat. Creamsickle may reward you with kitty kisses if he feels inspired. He is a wonderful cat for someone who is looking for a lap cat with personality.

efore I grew weary of public life and moved into a vast bunker beneath Mt. Baker, I taught freshman composition at a large Midwestern university. I had no teaching experience when I arrived at said university (to pursue an advanced degree in the burgeoning field of wasting time on the Internet), but I took a three-week seminar designed to familiarize wannabe professors like me with the freshman-comp curriculum.

Among other things, the seminar instructors gave us tips on how to manage a classroom full of sleep-deprived 18-year-olds who would rather be “shotgunning” Keystone Lights and tossing “Frisbees” around the “quad” than getting intimate with the art of rhetoric.

Unfortunately, none of those tips prepared me for the stomach-curdling task of fielding students’ questions about why their papers had received less-than-satisfactory grades (that is, any grade that wasn’t an A).

I quickly learned that the best tactic was to read excerpts of my students’ mangled prose aloud to them while massaging my temples, as if trying to decipher their mumbo-jumbo was causing my brain to swell.

That almost always shut them up.

Almost always, however, only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. My system collapsed at the end of the first semester, when a particularly irritate student refused to accept my rationale for giving her a B+ on

T

exting has become the preferred method of communicating in American culture, especially for people under the age of 20. While texting has helped to create a rich network of social interaction, these interactions are sometimes occurring while texters are driving an automobile.

Drivers under the age of 20 are the largest group of distracted drivers in fatal crashes.

Research conducted by the University of Utah in 2008 revealed drivers engaging in cell phone use or texting resulted in poorer driving performance than being legally intoxicated. The same study found hands-free cell phone use was only marginally safer.

The Western Washington University Psychology department conducted the now famous “Clown” experiment to demonstrate how cell phone use affects the awareness of users. A clown dressed in a bright purple and yellow outfit with a large red nose rode a unicycle around the college square, a point of convergence for pedestrian traffic on campus.

Professional observers watched four different groups as they passed by the clown and then questioned them a distance from the square.

Seventy one percent of people walking in pairs saw the clown, 60 percent of people listening to a music device saw the clown, 51 percent of people walking alone saw the clown, but only 25 percent of people on cell phones saw the clown. The study points out her final paper.

Forty-five minutes into our discussion – and half an hour after my office hours had ended, when I should have been home eating hot dogs and

By Dan Leonidas watching “Everybody Loves Raymond” – I blurted out that I’d switch her grade to an A if she’d just stop whining. She said that sounded swell and, before I could get my wits about me and take back my rash offer, vanished into the ether, never to be seen again.

I spent a few minutes wondering if I’d just crossed a line, ethically speaking – but then I said “ethically speaking, shmethically shpeaking” and decided that, if giving everyone A’s on everything meant I didn’t have to talk to my students anymore, giving everyone A’s on everything was the right thing to do.

And that, friends, is how I became the most popular (if possibly the least effective) freshman-comp teacher in the Midwest.

Automobiles are essentially 3,000-5,000 pound missiles hurling down the road at terrific speeds. At 65 miles an hour, the average text transmission of five seconds will have moved the automobile down the road about 600 feet.

We sometimes forget the complex calculations that must take place in our brains to operate a motor vehicle. What must be taking place in our thought processes as we are driving a car? Our brains are taking in multiple pieces of information simultaneously and analyzing each one that then results in a changed driving behavior. It really is amazing and a little scary if you think about it.

In states that have strict laws on cell phone use in cars there has not been a deterrent effect, not yet anyway. Each time you get behind the wheel and reach for your cell phone, ask yourself if it is really worth the very real risk in doing so. Remember all kids count.

ell, graduation is upon us and we’ll lose 19 members. Its our loss, but they’ll move on to a different life and, most certainly, younger teens will take their place here at the Center.

The World Cup Soccer Tournament is center stage at the Center this month. Many of our teens have chosen a team from the various countries involved and prizes will be won as it ends.

Our own sports facilities have been upgraded with the resurfacing and leveling of our basketball court and the upper tennis court. The teens are anxious to play, but have been good about staying off the new paint until it dried.

As a result of the success of last years New York City Radio City Music Hall Christmas Show trip, the Center will again sponsor a trip to the Big Apple. This time it will be on the weekend of Nov. 6-7 for the highly acclaimed Broadway play “Jersey Boys”. The story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

The weekend will consist of Saturday travel on a luxury motor coach to the American Museum of Natural History, which is across 8th Avenue from Central Park on the West Side. Belvedere Castle is nearby in Central Park. We plan on being to the Hilton Hotel in time for a buffet dinner in our private meeting room.

Sunday morning we’ll have a breakfast buffet in our private meeting room before going into the city. There should be time to stroll down Broadway prior to the 3 p.m. matinee at the August Wilson Theatre on West 52 Street. After the show we’ll stop for dinner on the way home and you’ll order off the menu.

The cost of $409 includes everything. Please call the center at 873-6408 to register for the trip.

ETC prepares for 2010 shows

≈ SALE ≈

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ESSEX — One of the region’s most prominent community theater groups is aiming to bring more cultural awareness through its summer stage productions The Essex Theatre Company opens July 9 for its 18th season, which features two very different shows.

This year ’s season is themed “A Celebration of Cultural Diversity.”

The first production is “Blues of the Night,” a musical revue by Sheldon Epps originally produced in 1982.

The dialog-free show is set in a run-down Chicago hotel in 1938 and tells the interweav- (L-R) Thistle Tulla Carson, Kate List, Antonette Knoedl, and Rory ing stories of three women’s Wallace star in “Blues in the Night,” the first of two stage producrelationships with the same tions by the Essex Theatre Company in their 2010 season. Not pictured: Matt Rock. “snake” of a man.

Photo Submitted The program features a slew of blues standards, including many made famous by singer Bessie Smith, such as “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out,” “Baby Doll,” and the show’s title song.

The musical stars Thistle Tulla Carson, Antonette Knoedl, Kate List, Matt Rock and Rory Wallace, and is enhanced by musicians Russ Mulvey on bass; Laureen Carson on trumpet; Jim Huneycutt and Christopher Lynch on tenor sax; Zak Breckenridge on drums; and Barbara Winsman, piano.

Kathy Poppino, who directs the show, said many of the performers are new to the ETC stage.

“It’s bringing more people in, which is one of our goals,” she said.

The second show, “Lettice and Lovage”, stands in stark contrast as a 1990 British comedic play that’s all dialogue and no music. Set in England, it follows the unlikely friendship of two women who somehow manage to overcome their disagreements.

“It’s a very wry piece and I think it’s worth seeing,” said Poppino.

A benefit for the Essex Theatre Company is scheduled for Friday, July 2, 6-10 p.m. at Black Kettle Farm where the band Ironville will lead a contra and square dance. Black Kettle Farm is located at the corner of Cook and Leaning Roads in Essex. Tickets are $10 and free for children younger than 12.

“Blues in the Night” shows July 9, 10, 15, 16, and 17 at 7:30 p.m. and July 18 at 5 p.m.

“Lettice and Lovage” can be seen July 31, Aug. 2, 3, 12, 13, and 14 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 1 and 15 at 2 p.m.

All performances take place at the Iroquois Masonic Lodge in Essex, next to the ferry dock. Tickets are $10 prior to the event or $12 at the door. For more information, call 5247708 or e-mail tickets@essextheatre.org.

State may repeal saltwater, Hudson license

Summer sizzles: Enjoy it while you can!

T

he Fourth of July has arrived and summer has descended upon the Adirondacks, bringing with it a combination of summer’s heat, spring’s breezes and a bit of autumn’s coolness. Can winter’s white be far behind?

Summer in the park is the most fleeting of all our Adirondack seasons. It moves faster than a dollar bill at the gas pump and yet, we savor it all year ‘round. It is a time when we all become kids again and we relive the times past.

Soon after the local kids pour out of school and tourists pour off the Northway, the ranks of summer folk begin to swell like the dry wooden planks of an old guideboat.

High humidity will produce sticky days and hazy mountain views while evening temperatures will drop into the 40’s, and the black evening sky reveals a wealth of stars beyond our wildest imagination.

Falling asleep to the sounds of the forest, we are entertained by a symphony of the wilds.

The bullfrog sings “jug ‘o rum,” as a loon’s wail echoes off the nearby hills and a barred owl asks, “Who, who, who, whooo! Who calls for you allll!”

A clap of thunder and the jagged spiderwebs of lightning serve as a prelude to a deep sleep, aided by the gentle pitter-patter of raindrops on the roof of an Adirondack leanto.

Campers will awake to find a thick carpet of fog enveloping the lakes and snaking through the river valleys. Fresh cut hayfields and the pleasurable scent of a flash, summer sprinkle will bring back memories of younger days, when we rode our bicycles to the local swimming hole to launch ourselves off a cliffs or a rope swing.

Hiking trails will become crowded; beaches will fill full and motorcycles will compete for space on the highways. The sweet smell of barbecue will permeate the late afternoon breeze, as the tang of wood smoke drifts on the brisk evening breeze.

Visitors and locals alike will find readily available entertainment in traditional events such as the Hamner Guideboat Races in Saranac Lake, the Tupper Lake Woodsman Days or the

July 3, 2010

wonders of the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake.

What to do this summer?

Visitors may wonder what to do on an Adirondack summer’s day, especially if it is too hot to hike, too bright to fish or the lakes are too crowded with buzzing motorboats to attempt a quiet paddle. In an effort to provide some helpful and entertaining options, I’d like to offer some easy and affordable ideas.

Try a dinner cruise on the water with the Raquette Lake Transportation Company, visit the sky, the mountains and the lakes with a seaplane ride out of Long Lake or take a horse and carriage ride into Great Camp Santanoni.

Take a dip in the public waters of Henderson Lake in Tahawus, where you can wade across the Hudson River, which begins at the outflow from Henderson’s dam or take a drive to a mountain summit at Whiteface in Wilmington or Prospect in Lake George.

Swim at a waterfalls, some of the region’s best include Bog River Falls and Buttermilk Falls on the Raquette River, Split Rock Falls and Shoebox Falls on the Boquet River, or the Rocks at the Covered Bridge on the East Branch of the Ausable in Jay, or the nearby Flume near Wilmington, where you can also enjoy the nearby mountain bike trails that stretch along the West Branch of the Ausable River.

Finish your day with a cold drink while watching the sunset over the high peaks from the porch of Elk Lake Lodge in North Hudson, which is now open to the public for dinner. Be sure to call ahead for reservations at 532-7616.

Certainly, I’ve missed many other great options, yet there is no reason for anyone to be stuck for an activity to enjoy on an Adirondack summer’s day! Get out and enjoy the summer while you can, for sooner than we’d like to admit; the leaves will begin to turn, the sidewalks will be empty and buffalo plaid hunters will again be stalking whitetails in the woods.

U

nder pressure from offshore fishermen and lawsuits brought by some coastal towns, our state lawmakers are on the brink of passing legislation that would reverse a license requirement for saltwater and Hudson River anglers.

The license — costing a paltry $10, mind you — was put in place Oct. 1, 2009, to help fund New York’s hemorrhaging Conservation Fund, plus satisfy a new federal requirement to account for people using marine resources for recreational fishing.

In my mind, this license was long overdue.

For years, the expense of monitoring and managing the Hudson River and coastal water was shouldered not by the users who benefited but by license sales of other sportsmen.

Now, the new license could disappear under a bill put forth by Long Island Democrat Sen. Brian Foley.

Why should we care?

Because it will undoubtedly divert our license money away from programs affecting game and inland waters.

Without the nearly $3 million in revenues generated from the new license, funding for the DEC’s Marine Bureau — charged with managing Marine District and Hudson River fisheries — will need to come from the General Fund or Conservation Fund, where revenues from hunting, trapping and fresh water fishing licenses are deposited.

That would quickly eat up much of the extra money generated by our latest license fee increase — an increase supported by sportsmen’s groups in the interest of keeping the Conservation Fund solvent.

To make matters worse, the saltwater license was helping meet a federal requirement used to tally the number of people partaking in recreational saltwater fishing. Without that tally, millions in federal aid is in jeopardy.

To avoid that, Foley and other downstate legislators have proposed a so-called “free registration” system to satisfy the federal requirement, under which anglers would register by computer or telephone.

But conservation officials are skeptical, saying the system would still need to be managed and registered anglers would still need to be identified, essentially mirroring the sys-

tem now in place.

NYS Conservation Fund Advisory Board Chairman Jason Kemper is one of those people.

“You would still need the same system created by the saltwater license, but without a funding stream,” Kemper noted.

“The point is we have to do this or lose our federal aid,” he said.

So, in effect, hunters and freshwater anglers will have their license money diverted from programs affecting game and inland waters to fund a registration program so salt water anglers won’t have to pay to participate in their chosen hobby.

That is a tough pill to swallow, and should be for anyone who buys a license.

The state Senate has already passed the repealer bill, and it now sits with the Assembly.

If the bill does become law, the state will have to dip into the Conservation Fund to pay back the 180,000 anglers who purchased annual and lifetime marine licenses.

In the meantime, lobbyists for offshore fishing alliances like Jim Hutchinson of the Recreational Fishing Alliance are fighting hard to eliminate the license, arguing it is an “onerous constraint on less fortunate fisherman unable to afford an extra fee to fish the ocean.”

Foley himself said, “I strongly urge the assembly to pass this important piece of legislation so that it can be signed into law as soon as possible so that all New Yorkers, but in particular Long Islanders (his district, of course), can benefit from being able to fish our coastal waters without breaking the bank.”

Really? Ten dollars?

An “onerous constraint”?

“Breaking the bank?”

Ten dollars is about one-third the cost of a freshwater license and about one-tenth what I paid for my hunting and fishing licenses combined last year.

Makes me want to donate $10 just to shut these people up.

Class of 2010 embarks on future

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com Schools across the region held commencement ceremonies for their 2010 graduates last weekend, marking a major milestone for young men and women and the communities in which they have grown.

AuSable Valley The gymnasium at AuSable Valley Central School was packed June 26 as the community honored the 99 graduates of the Class of 2010.

Salutatorian Ryan Blaise encouraged his classmates to take what they have learned at AuSable Valley and use it to their advantage as they pursue their goals.

“It was by no accident that the events which occurred during the past four years did,” said Blaise.

“There was a design, one that has revealed to us the most important ideals for a successful future, which include studying hard to do well academically, working continuously to excel athletically, and being sufficiently earnest and trustworthy to confide in fellow classmates, creating friendAuSable Valley Central School valedictorian Daniel Dohman ships to last a lifetime.”

Daniel Dohman, the class vale- and salutatorian Ryan Blaise Photos by Matt Bosley dictorian, said he felt humbled to be chosen to speak in front of his fellow graduates.

“This class is really a remarkable group of individuals,” said Dohman. “They are blessed with countless talents and qualities, and these are things that a numerical grade will never be able to measure.”

Likewise, Dohman said, success is about making the most of one’s talents.

“Success is all relevant to your goal, and I think that your ultimate goal in life should be simply to find what it is that brings you joy and keeps you happy and to do that, whatever it may be.”

The guest speaker for commencement was Bryan Benway, a 2001 graduate of AVCS who encouraged graduates to dream big despite being from a small town.

“I achieved my dream of being a sports broadcaster, and I’m chasing a bigger dream now, much like you are today,” said Benway.

Keene The 14 graduates of Keene Central School took a moment at their graduation ceremony June 26 to reflect on the nurturing care they’ve received in the small community they called home.

Valedictorian Kevin Stolz said graduation marked a time of change that involved leaving home, but said home is a relative concept.

Keene valedictorian Keene salutatorian “I know everyone in this Kevin Stolz Taylor McCabe class well enough to say that none of us will have trouble making our new situation into a home,” he said.

Still, Stolz expressed thanks to the people of his “first and dearest home,” noting the support he’s received as a musician and artist.

“I have always felt cared for and cared about, I have always felt encouraged, and I have always, always, felt loved,” said Stolz. “That’s something special, maybe even unique about this community.”

Taylor McCabe, class salutatorian, urged students to be the change they wish to see in the world, taking inspiration from Mohandas Gandhi, among others.

“One person can make a difference,” she said. “All they have to do is follow their passion and deliberately take the first steps toward change.”

Tupper Lake The 63 graduates of Tupper Lake High School were honored at their commencement ceremony June 25, and likewise recognized the people who helped shape them.

Emily Sanford, class valedictorian, said the class had their parents and teachers to thank for getting them to this point.

“Whatever you do with your life I hope that you know and will live knowing that there is no limit on your dreams,” she said. “Life is about choices, choose well.”

Salutatorian Amber Lawyer said her class has had a devotion to community service. She noted their wide range of talents and interests and their ability to excel in each one, whether it be music, arts, or sports.

“As for the Class of 2010; our foot print is unique, brilliant in its own sense, and too special to be filled by any other,” said Lawyer. “We have done what we have done because of who we are, both as individuals and together.”

“The things we have done as a class and individually have prepared us for our future,” she added.

Willsboro Valedictorian Tara Robare accepts her diploma from her mother, school board president Andrea Robare.

Willsboro Valedictorian Tara Robare urged graduates at Willsboro to try new experiences, realize their true potential, and not let their limitations become an excuse.

“Not very many people can say that they came from a graduating class of 25 and a rural school that houses a little more than 300 pre-K to 12th grade students in one building,” noted Robare, “but this doesn’t mean that we can’t be smart. We can be smart and excel in school even if we came from a small town. Our size may be one of our limitations but it is also one of our greatest assets.”

Krystal Porter, class salutatorian, told a growing-up story using her favorite Willsboro salutatorian Krystal Porter holds Emma childhood toy, reminding graduates that bear as she delivers her speech it was okay to grow, change, and make new friends while knowing the old ones would still be there.

“Remember to take a keepsake with you to share the adventures that are to come and to serve as a means of comfort,” said Porter.

Norman W. Martin, Sr. May 30, 1919 - June 20, 2010 NEW RUSSIA — Norman W. “Pepper” Martin, Sr., 91, passed away peacefully June 20 at the Elizabethtown Community Hospital after a long, difficult illness.

He was born on a farm in Essex, N.Y., May 31, 1919, the son of the late Joseph E. Martin and Louise (Blanchard) Martin. After moving to Elizabethtown at a young age to live with his grandparents, Frederick and Exelda (Phillips) Blanchard, Norman attended Elizabethtown School and worked at various jobs in the community.

At the age of 21, he met the love of his life, Peppina “Pep” Trapasso, from Moriah, at Lolly’s Restaurant in Elizabethtown. After a rela-

tively short courtship, they were married on August 31, 1941.

Norman and Peppina moved to Bristol, Conn. shortly after their marriage. While there, he worked at various factories during the war, and their first two children were born: Norman Jr. and Dolores.

Longing for nearness to family and the comfort and peacefulness of the Adirondacks, Norman moved his family back home in 1948, and they established their residence in New Russia.

In the years that followed, Norman worked at Marshall Blanchard’s General Store in Elizabethtown as a meat cutter and as an equipment operator for the New York State Department of Transportation in Westport. He retired from the NYSDOT in 1981 after working for 25 years.

In the 1950s, Norman’s family and responsibilities grew. Norman and Pep had two other children, Joseph and Darlene. They also built and operated Martin’s Motel in New Russia in 1953. Their family business was prosperous and fulfilling for many years, from 1953 to 1996.

Norman’s life centered around his family and friends. He was happiest when surrounded by his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, sisters, nieces and nephews, all of whom loved him very dearly and provided him with loving care until the very end.

Norman’s other love, besides his family, was for nature. He loved the peacefulness of the

Adirondacks and all of its glory. He would spend hours sitting on his porch watching the birds or deer or feeding the chipmunks as they scurried across his lawn. At other times, he could be found working in his vegetably garden, a hobby that continued to the end.

In January of 2004, Norman lost his wife of 63 years, Peppina, after a lengthy illness. With the support and love of his family, however, he was able to bear the loss and live actively and independently for many years.

Norman is survived by his son, Norman Martin, Jr. of Lake Placid; his daughter and son-inlaw, Delores and Leonard Forbes of Wilmington; his son and daughter-in-law, Joseph and Linda Martin of Elizabethtown; his other daughter and son-in-law, Darlene and Paul Hooper of New Russia; his sister, Ruth Lawrence of Westport; his sister and brother-inlaw, Nancy and Walter Doyle of Elizabethtown; his brother-in-law, Sam Trepasso of Moriah; brother-in-law Joe Trepasso of Lake Placid; and his sister-in-law, Dorothy Carr of Keeseville; ten grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his brother, Edward Martin of New Russia, and sister Bernice Gilligan of New Russia.

Calling hours were held June 23, 5-8 p.m., at Marvin’s Funeral Home in Elizabethtown. Funeral services were held June 24 at St. Elizabeth’s Church in Elizabethtown.

Memorial donations may be made to the Elizabethtown-Lewis Ambulance Squad or Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

ECH welcomes Dr. DiMarco ELIZABETHTOWN — Elizabethtown Community Hospital is planning to welcome Dr. Tracie DiMarco to its staff this summer.

DiMarco will be establishing her full-time family practice at the Elizabethtown Community Health Center. She will also be on-call for emergency situations at the hospital, as part of the scheduled rotation with the hospital’s other physicians.

“The hospital is thrilled to have Dr. DiMarco joining its professional, talented team,” said Hospital CEO Rod Boula “It’s important that our area residents have access to primary care physicians close to home.”

Dr. Tracie DiMarco, who hails from the Hudson Valley region, has been DiMarco working as a solo family practitioner since 2004. Her attraction to the natural beauty of the Adirondacks is what drew her to the area; and her love of family and community is what guides her professional commitment.

“I’m looking forward to working in a small community where we really get to know our neighbors,” said DiMarco. “I’m excited about becoming an integral part of the Elizabethtown health center and the hospital, using my training and expertise to assist families in the region.”

DiMarco will be accepting patients of all ages, as she believes that it’s important to provide “family” care. “As a family practitioner providing primary care and GYN services, I work with men, women and children,” she noted. “I treat the whole patient and the whole family, with an emphasis on illness prevention.”

Her medical training and experience has led DiMarco to develop an expertise in women’s health and nutrition issues. DiMarco hopes to use that expertise to assist women with health issues that are specific to them.

“Women have some unique challenges in terms of illness, hormonal issues and weight control,” she said. “I would like to help women overcome those challenges through proper medical care, nutrition and overall health and wellness education.”

DiMarco completed her residency training at the Hudson Valley Family Practice Residency Program in Poughkeepsie and is board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine She is a graduate of Marist College and received her medical degree from the SUNY Buffalo School of Medicine. Dr. DiMarco has also received additional training in nutrition and behavioral medicine.

Sarah Hartshorne, Martha McKinley and Brock Marvin model clothes from Ruthie’s Run, Local Color and the Westport Marina at the “Day in the Adirondacks” fashion show, held June 19 at the Essex County Fairgrounds.

Nearly 40 local residents participated in the event, modeling 80 outfits from 15 local stores while raising funds and awareness for the North Country SPCA in Westport.

AND IT STARTS IN OUR STORES.

When the tobacco companies advertise in stores, 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.

Local hoopsters shoot for trip to Disneyland

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Through hard work and dedication, the Lake Champlain Lakers AAU U-17 basketball team qualified to compete in a national tournament this summer.

Now, they’re working hard to raise the money they need to go there.

The team consists of 10 of the top players from six schools in the North Country — Brody Douglass and T.J. Burl of AuSable Valley, Bo McKinley of Westport, Kyle LaPoint and Tre Bucci of Plattsburgh High, Carson Hynes of Seton Catholic, Joe Tousignant of Franklin Academy, and Devon Anderson, Thomas Ryan and Malo Valerien, all of Beekmantown.

In early May, they competed in and won the Adirondack LIVE Tournament, qualifying them for the AAU National Tournament to be held at Wald Disney World’s Wide World of Sports in Orlando, Fla., July 26 through Aug. 1.

The Lakers, who have a 23-6 overall record for the season, finished at the top of the standings in the pool of 10-12 teams in their age group in a region that extends from the Albany region west to Utica and north to the Canadian border.

“It was pretty exciting because they knew going into the tournament that it was a qualifying tournament,” said Ryan Converse, head coach for the team. “They wanted it pretty bad, so when they knew we had qualified, they were excited.”

While some Lakers teams may have qualified in the past, Converse said, this could be the first time the team actually competes in the national tournament.

“As far as the teams I’ve coached, this is definitely one of the most talented teams and one of the most well-balanced,”

The Lake Champlain Lakers AAU U-17 basketball team qualifed for the AAU National Tournament to be held in Orlando, Fla., and is now holding fundraisers to help pay for their trip. (L-R from back): Malo Valerian, Thomas Ryan, Devon Anderson, T.J. Burl, Coach Ryan Converse, (front row) Joe Tousignant, Kyle LaPoint, Brody Douglass, Tre Bucci, and Bo McKinley.

said Converse. “We’ve got good guards who can handle the ball well, we’ve got shooters, and we’ve got size.”

Now, with the tournament just weeks away, the team is racing to raise the roughly $1,000 per player they need to fund their trip to Orlando.

McKinley, the team’s starting point guard, participated in

the AAU National Tournament last year when he was invited to play with the Albany City Rocks.

“Depending on what bracket we’re in, I think it’s possible we could get to the elimination round,” said McKinley, adding that to do so would put them among the top 32 teams in the country.

Though they expect tough competition in Orlando, McKinley said the team is just thrilled with the opportunity to play alongside the top high school basketball players.

“It’s a privilege just to compete with some of these guys who will probably be playing in the NBA one day,” he added.

Their first fundraiser, a car wash at Stewart’s Shop in West Plattsburgh June 25, raised $645.

The next event is a coin drive scheduled for Saturday, July 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Au Sable Forks.

“Money is tight for everybody right now, so it’s really important that they go out and work for what they want,” said Converse.

The team is hoping to raise the remainder of what they need by offerent sponsorship in the Bob Kyea Memorial Golf Tournament being held Friday, Aug. 6, at AuSable Valley Golf Course. With a $100 donation, businesses and organizations can get a tournament advertising sign displaying their name and logo on the course.

In the meantime, the team is scheduling some regional games to help keep their skills sharp.

“We’re just going to keep doing what we’ve been doing,” said Converse. “This is a hardworking group; they come to practice and they want to learn, they want to get better.”

Donations for the team’s trip may be sent to “Let’s Get the Lakers to Orlando,” care of Kathy Kyea, 9 Gooseberry Lane, Jay, N.Y., 12941.

Woodsmen’s Days offers family fun

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — Family fun is the name of the game at this year ’s Annual Tupper Lake Woodsmen’s Days July 10-11 at Municipal Park.

Now in its twenty-ninth year, the Woodsmen’s Days weekend promises plenty of activities suited for all ages.

Ursula Vaillancourt, co-owner of Sootbusters Chimney Service, is one of the newest members of the Woodsmen’s Association, the group that organizes the event. She said 8,000 people attended last year, and there’s a lot of emphasis on making the event even more of a draw.

“A lot of people think the event is dying because the loggers aren’t as interested,” she said, noting the rising expenses many woodmen are facing. “We’re really working hard this year to get more of the community involved in the event.”

The festivities start July 9, 6 p.m. at the Park Restaurant where the public is invited to join organizers and competitors at the annual banquet. Those wishing to attend the banquet should call 359-9444 for a reservation.

E’Town’s Windsor Park Concerts of 2010 July 8 - “JULIE ROBARDS” w/LARRY STINE Also *Special guest “MAX VAN WIES” - Bluegrass/Country July 16 - Block Dance with “E’TOWN EXPRESS” -Rock & Roll “ROB PULSIFER” 8 -11 Cobble Hill Golf Course July 22 -”BRENT VOSBURG” presents original - new C.D.- Blues & Country July 29 - “JOE WYANTS” Group; DANNY - DAVID - SUSAN Aug 5 - “MAR-CUS-UMPA” 2 Guys - 2 Guitars & lots of Music MARK RABIN & SKIP LUPPY Hope to see you there!

Music in the Air! Enjoy the Summer!

Saturday, July 10, 10 a.m. is when the event officially begins with the annual Woodsmen’s Days Parade. The miles-long procession, featuring floats, marching bands and logging equipment, will wind its way through the business district en route to Municipal Park.

There are already dozens of entries for this year ’s parade, but more are still being sought. Entries compete for cash prizes in 12 different categories. Anyone interested in participating should contact Vaillancourt at 359-9765 or 637-6837.

There, following the parade, spectators can watch the sawdust fly as woodsmen compete in a number of chainsaw carving events, including a 60-minute carving contest. An auction will be held afterward for their completed work.

Opening ceremonies commence at noon, immediately followed by lumberjack and jill contests. Some of the best woodsmen in the United States and Canada will compete throughout the afternoon in cross-cut and buck-saw matches, modified chain sawing, log rolling, axe throwing, tree felling, and horizontal log chop. At 1 p.m., heavy equipment operators will face off in the loading competition.

Children’s activities begin 1 p.m. across from the gazebo, where kids can participate in a Junior Woodsmen’s Obstacle Course. A special Wild Center activity is scheduled for

1:30 p.m., followed by a water balloon toss at 2 p.m. and three-leg races at 2:30 p.m.

According to Vaillancourt, there haven’t been many children participating in the games in recent years, but organizers are hoping to change that.

“I think people just don’t know they’re here,” she said. “One of our goals for this year is to let people know these events do take place.”

Starting 4:30 p.m., both children and adults can register for evening games, which include the popular greased pole and tug of war.

As always, there will be plenty of food booths and vendors set up in the park, and heavy equipment will be on display throughout both days.

The fun continues Sunday, July 11, 11 a.m. with the “Adirondack’s Largest Horse Pull,” followed by yet another chainsaw carving contest at 12:30 p.m. A skidding and truck driving competition is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Kids will have plenty to do that day as well with a watermelon eating contest 12:30 p.m. at the gazebo followed by a pie toss at 1 p.m. and a wood stack relay at 1:30 p.m. The grand

Sincere Thanks

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.

Cancer is not kind; ALL of you were...

“We really are trying to build the community, and the Woodsmen’s Days is one part of the community,” Vaillancourt said. “We just want to be a building block to help bring back the community feel of Tupper Lake.”

There are about 352 acres located along Lake Champlain at the base of Willsboro Point. A range of clay and sandy soil types that are characteristic of northern New York permit a variety of field experiments. The research is aimed at producing the best management for upstate agricultural resources.

Current research projects featured at the open house include grass biofuel production, season extension using high tunnels, nutrient management, tillage practices and soil health, organic grain production, heritage wheat trials and a cold hardy wine grape variety trial.

This event is free and open to the public. For more information call 963-7472.
