matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Residents of Elizabethtown will take to the polls July 15 to vote on a revised proposal to establish a public wastewater treatment system in the hamlet.

In a Jan. 25 referendum, residents had voted down a plan to establish a $9.5 million wastewater treatment system for facilities throughout most of the hamlet with a treatment plant located on Woodruff Lane.

Town supervisor Noel Merrihew said a survey of residents following that vote confirmed ...See Vote on page 2

Vote From page 1 the location of the treatment facility — on the banks of the Boquet River and near a historic residential area — as the main factor in their decision to oppose the project.

“We’re not changing the district boundaries at all from the original plan,” said Merrihew.

“We are changing the plant site and the engineering proposed for that plan.”

The revised proposal would have the sewage pumped to a site on the property of the townowned Cobble Hill Golf Course where it would be processed through an environmentallyfriendly system of sub-surface leaching pads.

Unlike typical treatment plants, the system would require no chemicals to treat the effluent because of the natural filtering action of sand and microbial organisms.

“The beauty of this is that there is no discharge whatsoever into any stream or water body,” Merrihew said.

Instead, the treated liquid effluent can be used to irrigate the golf course, and the solid sludge is pumped to reed beds that effectively transform it into topsoil.

“We use gravity as much as we can,” said Merrihew, noting how sewage will generally travel downhill to Woodruff Lane where a series of lift stations will pump it to the golf course.

According to Merrihew, the public wastewater system would improve environmental stewardship while providing infrastructure essential for growth and development in Elizabethtown.

“This isn’t a frivolous expenditure,” he said. “This is an investment in the sustainability of the community, the school, the hospital, and our businesses.”

Financing for the sewer system will largely come through grants and low-interest loans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development program and the state-run Environmental Facilities Corporation. Combined with a $1 million grant previously received from NYSDEC, about $5.2 million of the more than $9.5 million project is financed.

The town had considered treatment plant siting on the golf course last spring when it applied for a Green Innovation Grant through EFC that would have put the project within the target annual cost of $362 to residential users in the sewer district.

A stipulation in the grant prevented it from being used on a municipally-owned golf

course, however, and the plan was abandoned until voters turned down the plant site on Woodruff Lane.

The town board has since passed a resolution stating, regardless of the outcome of the upcoming referendum, the sewer project will only commence if enough funding is obtained to reach the target of $362 annually for residential users.

“If it’s $368, we’re not going forward,” said Merrihew. “We’ve been very clear about that in all [our meetings].”

Last December, the town was promised a $2.5 million grant for the project through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, but that was committed elsewhere after the first referendum failed to gain approval.

The town can re-apply for ARRA funds, but a significant amount of financing remains to reach the target cost to taxpayers.

Still, Merrihew is confident the town can gain the additional state or federal monies it needs, if only because the project would affect institutions like Elizabethtown Community Hospital, the county offices, and the Horace Nye Home.

Polls will be open Thursday, July 15, from 12 to 8 p.m. at the town hall. Only those residents whose property is within the proposed sewer district are allowed to vote. For more information on voting, contact town clerk Debra Brooks at 873-6555.

Staff and residents at the Keene Valley Neighborhood House held a celebration June 29 for the 100th birthday of KVNH resident Iola Dellaquila (right) of Saranac Lake. Another KVNH resident, James Goodwin (left), celebrated his 100th birthday in March.

ongratulations to a couple of academic bright spots for our community. Daniel Dohman and Ryan Blaise were this year ’s AVCS valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively. Samantha Bashaw graduated from Seton Academy and was a recipient of the Bishop’s Award for excellence in academics, community service, spiritual life and school sponsored activities. She is an altar server at Saint John the Baptist Church here in Keeseville as well.

Keeseville Free Library will be starting a new art exhibit this week, featuring the work of the artist Judith Corigliano. The exhibit began July 8 and will continue during regular library hours through Friday, July 30. Corigliano’s exhibition will include paintings, mixed media and monoprints, which is a unique art still in which no two works are exactly alike; kind of a printed painting using various colors and materials. The library’s summer hours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 to 7 p.m., and Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The

library is closed Saturdays and Sundays.

Another important aspect that has come up this summer is the annual proliferation of bicycles on the road, with many cycling events such as the nearby Ironman Triathlon and bikes being the best means of transportation for kids during school break. Everybody needs to share the roads as they are needed for both cars and bikes.

With virtually no protection, a slight clipping from a car can have devastating, if not fatal, results.

Cars need to give room, but bicyclists are just as responsible to obey traffic laws, which include right of ways, correct side of roads, stopping for traffic signs and lights, and riding single file. I have watched numerous kids blow through stop lights, signs, and corners without looking for traffic. I have watched numerous, obviously professional, bikers slowing traffic down as they ride two to three abreast. The laws apply to everyone. Think safe. Enjoy the summer.

T

he Fourth of July weekend here in Willsboro and Essex is like a big community family reunion, where we get to see many of our summer families along with visiting family. It truly is great to catch up and greet people we have not seen for awhile.

I had the pleasure of having 15 of my personal family here for the weekend, and we spent much of our time at the camp on Willsboro Bay. Sunday evening there was a terrific fireworks display all the way down the Point shoreline to the bottom of the Bay area. Fireworks were popping out all around us. Then, to top it off, two local families had weddings this past weekend.

Heather and Travis Sheehan were married in Lake Placid with a lot of family and friends there to help them celebrate.

Spencer and Aimee Lobdell III were married out on Willsboro Point with a reception at the Knights of Columbus in Keeseville. Best wishes to both couples.

As a community, we are very proud of

My dog, Ginny, and I took our usual weekly reconnaissance trip into the village yesterday, snooping around for tidbits for this column. There are three new dog clean-up stations, thanks to the Beggs Park Committee, which Ginny heartily approves of. She was delighted to be on the Town Dock, and exuberantly leaped into the lake, only to find it was way over her head.

She’s a good swimmer, but was a bit embarrassed. On our way home, what looked at first glance like a small plane flew across the road ahead of us. It was, in fact, a large turkey on a landing glide. I slowed down and it kept its steady course, flaring its wings at the last second before it

touched down on a lawn.

In other bird news, an osprey was spotted close to the shore of Lake Champlain, flapping and struggling towards the beach, seemingly in some sort of trouble. The problem was the osprey had caught a huge bass, way too heavy to fly with, and was trying to get its catch onto land. Finally the bird and bass were on the beach, but when the bird released its talons, the fish flopped back into the lake, and the bird flew off empty-handed.

Haymaking is in full swing all over the North Country. The family that cuts our fields was busy over the weekend, loading wagon after wagon with sweet smelling square bales. The patriarch rides his old Allis-Chalmers tractor, mowing and baling, while younger generations stack and run the wagons to the barn and back. I love the sounds of their equipment, especially the baler, which rhythmically chunks and clicks, unlike more modern machinery, which merely hums efficiently.

drove through Port Henry the other day and was shocked to see brown paper taped inside the windows of the Aubuchon Hardware. Word is the guys from corporate showed up the other day and just closed the place down. A story in the paper said the Port Henry store was Aubuchon’s first in New York State, and it opened in 1966, yet there was no warning at all to the employees who now have to find jobs; no warning to town officials; nothing.

I guess the upside of not having corporate-run businesses in our community is stuff like that doesn’t happen here. Of course, the corporations bring jobs with them, but when they decide to move on, they tend to yank the rug out quick and fast. Our smaller, owner-operated businesses have a much stronger bond with the community. Something to think about next time you’re weighing the options of buying locally or going further afield.

We’re also lucky to have so many wonderful cultural institutions that are home grown, too. At the Depot Theatre the sum-

mer season is in full swing with “What a Wonderful Feeling,” a play based on the tempestuous behind-the-scenes love triangle between Gene Kelly, Jeanne Coyne, and Stanley Donen during the filming of “Singin’ in the Rain.” Lots of great dancing and all those favorite tunes — a sure crowd pleaser. It runs July 9-18, with “name-yourprice night” Monday, July 12. Call 962-4449 for tickets and reservations.

And the Arts Council will bring us a rare opportunity to see the famed Lake Placid Sinfonietta right here in Westport Thursday, July 15, at 7 p.m. at the Heritage House. This 20-piece orchestra dates back to 1917, and it features top-notch musicians from leading orchestras and university faculties across the country. Admission is $20, or listen for free in the Parish Hall (bring your own chair).

s the proud owner of two demanding and finicky cats, I have often wondered what constitutes the “best” diet to ensure my pets’ health. We have addressed in earlier articles one of the most important concerns with dry pet food is the protein/grain ratio. Many pet food companies use cheap filler grain, such as corn, as one of the first ingredients. Unfortunately, corn has very little nutritional value for your pet — except for putting on weight! The protein content is crucial. Quite often, the adage “you get what you pay for” is true. The cheaper foods on the shelf (for example, most of what is in your grocery store) have far more filler than substance. Take some time perusing the ingredients list on your next bag of cat or dog — you may be surprised.

What is even more interesting is our pets benefit from substantial amounts of vegetables in their food. You may be able to convince the family dog veggies in his bowl are part of the main meal, but you will probably need to buy food with the veggies already included for your cat. Ask your veterinarian about the most nutritionally sound foods and supplements.

Our featured pet today is Duncan, an energetic, playful Husky/Shepherd mix. Duncan has a medium-weight, glossy, black and white coat that invites you to sink your fingers into it. Duncan is still very puppy-ish and will jump up and “bop” you with his head when he wants attention. We are sure with some basic training, he will become the perfect companion for someone who leads an active lifestyle.

Every small town needs a diner

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

The Essex County Republican 1897 TICONDEROGA - “The day we celebrate” dawned bright and clear and as the sun continued on its path towards the zenith, the very plants and trees began to gasp for breath.

Cold drinks of any and all descriptions were poured down in large quantities.

During the forenoon the Crown Point Cornet Band arrived and regaled us with sweet strains of music. At 10’clock the sports of the day began. The races were local affairs but excited considerable interest.

The ladies bicycle race failed to fill so two men’s races were run resulting in Minard, first, and Samson, second, in both cases. Robetor won first in the 100 yards dash with Bingham a good second. The 300 yards dash resulted in the same manner with Fitzpatrick third. Myalts’ horse was an easy first in the running race with Stearn’s and Copeland’s second. Locke won the potato race. The Upper Falls team won the hose race. Hammond was the fortunate man who succeeded in climbing the greased pole.

Odell’s team won the tug of war, and Goodsell carried off the tub race.

Considerable excitement was caused in setting off the fire works in the evening. Some green hands attempted to set them off and some sparks getting into the box caused a premature display. Two or three broken windows and some severe bruises resulted. The fleeing crowd resembled a mob fleeing before a charge of the police.

WILMINGTON - The Owaissa Club of Wilmington has opened its doors again for the summer. Although water sports cannot be a feature this season, due to the lowering of the river when the dam was washed out by the spring freshets, there will be plenty of activity at the club. The schedule thus far arranged is as follows: Tuesday Evenings-Young folks 16 year and over; Parties, dancing, hayrides, steak roasts, Badminton and other sports, tournaments, etc.; Wednesdays Evenings-Square dancing; Friday Evenings-Round dances; Thursdays, 2-5 p.m. Ladies card parties and other programs as desired.

JAY - William LeClair, jr., and Thomas Rivers of Upper Jay left home for New York on Monday of this week, from which city they will sail on a government transport on August 1 for the Hawaiian Islands for a three year tour of duty in the United States army located on the islands.

WILMINGTON - Everything for the comfort of those who go to Whiteface Mountain should be completed by September. A progress report to Col. Frederick Stuart Greene, state superintendent of public works, showed the excavation for the elevator shaft and the tunnel from the Whiteface Castle to the shaft, both drilled through sold Adirondack granite, has been completed.

By Saturday contractors expect to begin construction of the shelter house at the top of the elevator shaft. Whiteface Castle, the refreshment villa at the top of the Whiteface Mountain highway, is about done. Only the kitchen equipment is to be painted. This should be ready not later than July 15.

To the editor: In the days of large corporations and fast food chains, an unfortunate dynamic is taking place. We like to think that these places are there for our convenience, and we “buy into” that concept.

However, when we choose to frequent only those out-oftown businesses, we are choosing to lose a part of history. The large corporations will survive, but small hometown diners will be gone.

It is in those places close to home, where one can go for a good meal, friendly service, conversation with friends, and experience the charm of living, or visiting, here in the Adirondacks.

Members of the revitalization committee have been working many long, hard hours to make Au Sable Forks a place for local residents and tourists to enjoy, but it takes the whole community to keep it going.

History is said to repeat itself when we don’t learn from it. In the past several years, we have lost some of our local businesses. They struggled to pay their bills and survive, and then had no choice but to close their doors. We are in danger of that happening again. Right now, we still have a say in the outcome, and we have a choice. Individually, and collectively we can support our local businesses. If we are there for them, they will be there for us!

Somebodies and Nobodies

S

omebodies and Nobodies: That’s how author and professor Robert Fuller described “Rankism.” Fuller suggested Rankism is what “Somebodies” do to those they perceive as “Nobodies.”

While many may say Rankism is human nature, consider this: Not too many years ago, other “isms” existed and were widely accepted — racism, whites actively discriminated against nonwhites; or sexism, males disadvantaging or limiting women. I don’t think anyone would disagree we have made great progress in reducing discrimination and I doubt anyone would suggest returning to these openly egregious practices.

If Rankism can be named and acknowledged, presumably it can be illuminated or reduced. We broke the back of racism and sexism by telling the truth. At one time it was commonly held nonwhites were inferior to whites in a variety of ways. Once proven invalid, this myth and many others died. Many believed women were the “weaker sex” and couldn’t handle stress or make well reasoned critical judgments. These lies were also proven wrong.

The purveyors of discrimination sought an advantage by devaluing others.

It will be more difficult to diminish Rankisim. Rankisim is rooted in issues like privilege by birth or inheritance. Rankisim is also driven by predation, a leftover from the days when man was the hunted and not the hunter. We do prey on animals; unfortunately, we also prey on each other to get an advantage over the next guy.

At its heart, Rankism’s purpose is to “fix” the game so the “Somebodies” always win. These fixes are manifested in many ways; some are more subtle than others.

When Ivy League colleges provide “legacy” admissions, they are fixing the game in my opinion. Legacy admissions are based on having a father, mother or grandparent who previously attended the school. Many educational historians say the origins of lega-

cy admissions were discriminatory in nature. It is believed Ivy League schools utilized legacy admissions to keep non-whites, Jews and poor people from gaining admission. While exact numbers are not available, one researcher found only about 40 percent of Ivy League admissions were open to competition based on educational merit.

Politics also provides many opportunities for fixing the game and providing

By Scot Hurlburt an unfair advantage to those that are politically connected, sometimes with disastrous results. When Michael Brown was appointed the director of FEMA, his premier qualifications were he was the college roommate of the former FEMA director and a political party insider. Brown presided over the greatest natural disaster in U.S. history and was woefully unprepared. This time, the fix may have cost some people their lives.

Rankism erodes solidarity, degrades the common good, and destroys creativity, innovation and excellence.Rankism will die eventually — it must.

Nations and cultures that stop Rankism will begin to out-compete everyone else and will force other cultures to change to stay competitive. It will take the participation of everyone to solve the problems we and future generations are facing. We will not be able to afford to deny the best minds entrance to the best colleges based on poverty, race, pedigree, gender or religion.

In the process of moving toward a necessary meritocracy, we will give many more people a chance to matter, to be “Somebody.”

This critical paradigm shift could provide the intellectual energy and moral compass necessary to surmount the challenges that now confront us. Remember, all kids count.

Paul Smiths VIC announces summer programs

The butterfly house at the Paul Smiths VIC will open for its 17th season as part of the center’s summer programming.

Photo provided

PAUL SMITHS — Summer has arrived in the Adirondacks and with it another informative and fun-filled program schedule at the Paul Smiths Visitor Interpretive Center.

The native species butterfly house, now in its 17th season, provides excellent opportunities for viewing butterflies and moths in all stages of development. The butterfly house is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is home to such creatures as the Eastern Tiger Swallowtails

and Cecropia moths. Naturalists are on-hand to answer questions from the public.

“The best times to see the adults flying are mid-day, when it’s warmed up,” says Milt Adams, an environmental educator at the VIC. A live raptor show will be held at noon every Tuesday through Saturday in July and August. The program takes place in the Paul Smiths VIC Whispering Pines Amphitheater. In its 15th season, the Adirondack Birds of Prey program will feature a red tail hawk this summer. After the presentation, there will be time for questions and a closer look at these magnificent, soaring hunters.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, at 9:30 a.m., Mac’s Canoe livery and guide service will provide a guided canoe exploration of bog and pond habitats on Barnum Pond. Canoes, paddles and PFDs are provided. Registration is required. Call the Paul Smiths VIC at 327-3000 to register.

The Paul Smiths VIC will also host The Adirondack Forest Preserve Education Partnership Adirondack Outdoors Lecture Series for the first time this summer. The series will feature six lectures, on topics ranging from bears and moose to mountain biking. This is a Wednesday evening lecture series and starts at 7:30 p.m. The first lecture will be Wednesday, July 14 with a presentation on invasive species.

The summer ’s partnership theme continues as the public is invited to join a Wild Center naturalist for a Wild Wednesday walk on the VIC trails. In addition to exploring the woods and waters along the way, each week will focus on a different topic as the season progresses into fall. This two-hour walk is free, but pre-registration is required. Click on Events at www.wildcenter.org to register or call 359-7800, ext. 116 for more information.

To find out more about the programs at the Paul Smiths VIC, call 327-3000. The Paul Smiths VIC is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The trails are open every day from sunrise to sunset. Find the Paul Smiths program calendar at www.adkvic.org.

Twenty youth, ages 8-15, will be performing “Mirette” Saturday, July 17, at 7 p.m. at Keene Central School as the culminating piece for “Putting it Together like the Pros,” a week-long theatre workshop instituted specifically for youth.

Seasoned actor and Keene native Tyler Nye directs the show, which will be put together in a matter of just six days beginning Monday, July 12. Kathleen Recchia is the producer.

Mirette is based on the Caldecott Award-winning picture book “Mirette on the High Wire,” by Emily Arnold McCully. It was transformed into a full-length musical by Elizabeth Diggs, Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, the latter two being the creators of “The Fantasticks.”

Set in 1890s Paris, the story of Mirette centers around a young girl who helps her mother run a boarding house for circus performers.

Mirette’s life takes an adventurous turn when a mysterious man moves in, a dark and brooding retired tightrope walker named Monsieur Bellini.

Mirette and urges Bellini to teach her his craft, even though her mother sings her to sleep with the practical advice, “Keep Your Feet Upon the Ground.” In the end, it is Mirette who must help Bellini overcome the fear that forced him to retire.

The North Country youth production cast includes Liza Amirault, Sam Balzac, Peter Craig, Cassandra Day, Brian DeWalt, Olivia Jaques, Sydney Joanette, Sara Looney, Caitlyn Lopez, Trillium Macario, Colleen Mulvey, Athena Pepe, Trevon Robertson, Harvey Runyon, Ana Serjak, Elaina Smith, Charlotte Ward, Sarah Woltner, and James Winch.

While most of the youth hail from Jay, Keene, or Wilmington, a few are summer visitors from Massachusetts, New York City, and

Holiness Camp offers spiritual retreat

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WILMINGTON — Dozens will gather at 704 Hardy Road next week for a century-old tradition welcoming people of all faiths.

The Wilmington Holiness Camp Meeting runs July 9-18, the latest realization of an annual event that’s been held since 1905 when Deane and Maria Hardy donated land for its use.

“Through the depression and through the war, we never missed a year,” said Jane Peck, who first attended as a young girl in the 1930s and continues to volunteer at the camp.

Seven generations later, the Wilmington Camp Meeting Association, which includes a few of the Hardy’s descendants, operates this interdenominational retreat offering an uplifting experience for both adults and youth.

“It’s always been interdenominational,” said Judi Gould, one of the camp association members. “When they started it all those years ago, that was one of the stipulations. They wanted everybody to feel welcome.”

Anywhere between 50 and 100 people from throughout the Adirondacks and beyond attend the camp’s evening services, held 7 p.m. each night, many choosing to stay the night in one of the camp’s several rustic cabins.

Sunday services, typically the biggest draw, are held 11 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., July 11 and 18.

“The message we have about being changed by God’s presence in us is still relevant today,” said Marty Bausman, camp association president and pastor at Wilmington Nazarene Church, noting how the camp provides an escape from everyday routines.

Marty’s wife, Julie Bausman, offers a children’s program for kids ages 4-11 during each evening service Monday through Saturday.

This year, the camp welcomes Pastor Harold Coomer from Huntsville, Ala., as its main speaker. A well-traveled evangelist, Coomer has spoken to crowds of as much as 40,000 people in countries such as Haiti and The Philippines.

“He just happened to be my roommate in college,” said association member Dan Gould.

Music for the services will be led this year by Shane and Lynette Cherry of Pueblo, Colo.

Lynette is a descendant of some of the camp’s founders.

Tuesday, July 13 is scheduled specifically as a music and singing night.

The week also features a camp just for teens; a tradition at the camp for more than 50

years.

About 25 youth ages 12-18 participate in the week-long camp July 12-17 led by youth minister Jay Trainer and the Infuzion Team from Rochester. The group has helped lead the teen camp here for the past seven years.

Teens can still register for the camp, which features trips to AuSable Chasm and an offcamp hike. The cost of $100 covers food, lodging and activities for the week, and camp scholarships are available for teens in need of financial assistance. Contact Bausman at 946-2434 for more information.

Teens not wanting to commit to an entire week may want to stop by Wednesday, July 14 for a teens’ free day where they can enjoy meals and activities at no cost.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all served in the camp’s dining hall each day at very reasonable costs; just $4 for dinner on weeknights.

“Lots of people like to come for dinner at 5:30 and stay for the evening service,” said Judi.

Those wishing to stay the night in a cabin for $5 per night should contact Phyllis Mihill in advance by calling 523-1552 or sending an e-mail to wilholinesscampmtgassoc@hotmail.com.

Due in large part to donations and volunteer labor, much has been done to keep the campgrounds maintained in the past several years, including an updated kitchen, a new boys’ dormitory, and renovations to the girls’ dormitory. Camp Association members said the grounds are available for use by other groups holding weddings, religious retreats, and other functions.

Richards starts as Lake Placid superintendent

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — The newest member of the administration for Lake Placid’s schools is now officially in place.

Dr. Randy Richards began work as Lake Placid Central School District’s new superintendent July 1, the start of a three-year contract that has him earning $125,000 annually.

Richards was offered the position in March after a sixmonth search process that began last July when superintendent John Donnelly, Jr. resigned abruptly after only a year on the job.

Having graduated from St. Lawrence High School and the State University of New York at Potsdam before spending four years in the Air Force and going on to pursue his graduate degrees, Richards said he was attracted to Lake Placid largely because of his familiarity with the area.

“I consider myself a North Country boy,” said Richards, Randy Richards, recalling numerous trips to Lake Placid for hockey games Ed.D. and concerts. “I’m just thrilled to be here.”

Richards, 51, spent the past three years as principal of Charles E. Riley Elementary School in the Oswego City School District. Prior to that, he spent four years as superintendent of Stockbridge Valley Central School District near Oneida.

“I’ve worked at the elementary, middle, and high school levels,” said Richards.

Stockbridge was named one of the most improved schools in New York State, Richards noted, after he helped to bring it from troublesome debt to a budget surplus during his tenure there.

When it comes to Lake Placid schools, however, Richard sees some different issues to tackle.

“I think the most immediate need is to re-establish relationships with people in the school and people in the community,” said Richards, noting the difficulty the district has endured recently with a quick succession of superintendents in the past few years. “It’s going to be about restoring people’s faith in the administration.”

Likewise, he said, maintaining the quality of programs at the school amidst a financial crisis in state government is sure to be a major challenge.

“The school is fortunate enough to have a strong academic base,” Richards said, “but it’s the financial piece we’re all worried about.”

Though he hadn’t yet had a chance to look closely at the district’s budget for the coming school year, Richards said he was surprised to hear of the significant cuts to personnel.

“I’m coming from Oswego where we had 3,400 students in the district and had to cut 13 teaching positions. They did the same here in Lake Placid with 750 students,” he noted. “Human resources are our most precious asset but also our most expensive. How much more can you cut personnel without making serious cuts to programs for our kids?”

Richards has two grown children who both live and work in the Myrtle Beach, S.C., area.

He and his wife, Lori, have found a home in Lake Placid and promise to be very involved and visible in the community.

Immunization Clinics available July 14, 28 SARANAC LAKE — Franklin County Public Health Services will be holding immunization clinics July 14 and 28, from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Saranac Lake Public Health Office, 3 Main St., second floor.

A parent with current immunization records must accompany all children. Note that vaccines available for children 18 and younger are for those who do not have insurance to cover vaccinations.

For adults, vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, TD, MMR, and Menactra will be offered as well as HPV for ages 19-26, tDap for ages 19-64, and Shingles vaccine for ages 60 and older. FCPH is unable to bill insurances for these vaccines at this time.

Walk-ins are welcome, but patients are encouraged to call 891-4471, ext. 3002 or 481-1709 for more information and to make an appointment.

Parents with infants or toddlers who may be concerned about development are encouraged to speak to their child’s doctor or call the FCPH Early Intervention Program at 4811673 for assessments and services for the developmentally delayed ages birth to two years old. There is no out-of-pocket cost.

Area schools honor graduates

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com

S

chools 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.

Elizabethtown-Lewis The 23 graduates of Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School celebrated their matriculation June 25 and paid tribute to the people who supported their journey.

Class salutatorian Joshua Pierce reflected on life, comparing it to a hike up a mountain.

“As I look around tonight, I see many people that have influenced me. Each of you has helped to equip me for my own journey up my mountain,” he said. “I know that I am not only speaking for myself, but for the rest of the graduates on the stage with me.”

Valedictorian Lance Lee congratulated his fellow classmates for surviving their time in school and thanked parents and teachers for helping to make the most of the past 13 years.

“I’m sure most of us shared a dislike of school at some time or another due to tests or other reasons, but I also believe in the good times we’ve had,” said Lee. “Yes, we’ve had our days when we just craved to run away and never be seen again, but we have also experienced the joys of school which have made us proud to have endured these years.”

Elizabethtown-Lewis salutatorian Joshua Pierce and valedictorian Lance Lee.

Lake Placid Hundreds gathered on the grounds of the Lake Placid Speedskating Oval June 25 to recognize the 47 graduates of Lake Placid Central School Salutatorian Morgan Caudill shared her experience as a student moving into the district six years ago, wary of how her life would change in a new school.

“But my [first] day went better than I expected, and the next six years were more amazing than I could have imagined,” she said. “I never felt like an outsider; I felt that I belonged. I was Morgan Danielle accepted.”

Caudill Lussi Her classmates may be experiencing similar feelings with graduation, Caudill noted, feeling as if they are leaving behind friends and fond memories as they go on to face new experiences.

“Right now, the future after we walk across this stage and wrap our hands around our diplomas is uncertain and hazy,” she said. “We all know that we will absolutely encounter challenges and hardships throughout our life, but despite the gray areas of our future, we realize that everything will turn out for the best.”

Valedictorian Danielle Lussi noted how the Class of 2010, many of whom have been together since kindergarten, will now go their separate ways, but she encouraged them to remember the “Three P’s:” passion, perserverance, and patience.

July 10, 2010

Lussi shared how her own story of perserverance in training as a ski jumper, recalling her first time on the 120-meter jump in Lake Placid.

“Minutes later, rising in the elevator for my second jump, I could only think of how all those hours in the gym lifting weights, stretching, working on agility and coordination and, of course, the thousands of jumps on the smaller hills,” Lussi said, “and how the persistence had paid off in the form of one jump on the 120.”

Saranac Lake A crowd of friends and family members lined the floor and the stands at the Saranac Lake Civic Center June 25 honoring the 2010 graduates of Saranac Lake Central School.

Ed McCarthy, a former social studies teacher at Saranac Lake, delivered the commencement address, urging students to trust themselves while working towards their goals.

Valedictorian Hillary Pond lauded her classmates’ multitude of talents.

“Although we may be one of the smallest classes to graduate from Saranac Lake High School, the magni- Saranac Lake Central School valedictotude of our success has been immense,” said Pond. rian Hillary Pond and salutatorian “Together, the 117 students that stand before you to- Katherine Mazdzer Photos by Matt Bosley day have achieved undefeated sports seasons, won national competitions in the arts, claimed the Lifesmarts New York State Championship, staged the first ever Youth Climate Summit, studied abroad on three different continents, raised money to sponsor Jambo Jipya School in Mtwapa, Kenya, and even represented the United States in the 2010 Winter Olympics.”

Pond presented her classmates with 10 pieces of advice, among which were to be passionate, not take life too seriously, and to not spend all their time on Facebook.

Katherine Mazdzer delivered the salutatory address.

Westport Westport’s graduating class of 25 took some time June 26 to reflect on their accomplishments and thank the community that fostered them.

Salutatorian Martha McKinley noted the close ties among her classmates despite their wide-range of talents and interests.

“Despite our yearning to leave, this school has meant a lot us,” she said. “It has served as a safe haven for me and the other 24 students sitting in those chairs, and, whether the school admits it or not, we have had a large impact here.”

McKinley went on to suggest her class Westport salutatorian Martha McKinley and valedicwould be the most successful ever to torian Valentina Rodriguez with school principal graduate from Westport.

Michelle Friedman.

“I can bet that in a few years, at least Photo by Jim Carroll / OvertimePhotography.com five of our names will be on the celebrity list from Westport, and not one of us will forget where we went to high school.”

Valentina Rodriguez was this year ’s valedictorian at Westport.

Last cast for a cherished outdoor writer

T

he woods were a bit stiller, the waters a bit calmer and the wildlife just a bit quieter across the North Country this past weekend, as news spread that the Press Republican’s long-time, outdoor writer, Dennis Aprill, had died unexpectedly Saturday, July 3 from a form of pancreatic cancer.

Anglers and guides, paddlers and hikers, birders, hunters and fellow outdoor writers were saddened with the news. Aprill first began his popular, award winning "Outdoor Perspective" column in the Sunday issue of the Press Republican Sept. 9, 1990. He continued to regularly produce a full page of outdoor news for the Sunday issue, for more than 20 years, without missing a single week.

His columns offered a little bit of something for all audiences. Whether it was big game hunting, bird watching, wild flowers or flyfishing, Aprill managed to collect something to entertain and enlighten his readers every Sunday for more than 1,000 weeks in a row. He never missed a beat.

It is a feat that is difficult to fathom, especially considering the fact that most of the outdoor writers I know are incredible procrastinators. Most writers prefer to be in the

field or on the water, rather than sitting around writing about the same. However, Aprill, with seeming ease and recognized excellence, managed to do both. At the same time, he also worked full-time as a professor of Dennis Aprill journalism at Plattsburgh State and managed to raise a fine family.

Always an excellent source of information about the outdoors, Aprill worked hard to bring together many of the region’s finest fishing authorities to author chapters of his book, Good Fishing in the Adirondacks. He updated and released a second edition of the book this past spring. He had also authored several hiking guidebooks including Paths Less Traveled, Short Treks in the Adirondacks and Beyond and had co-authored a field guide, Mammals of the Adirondacks.

Although Aprill’s "Outdoor Perspective" column in the Sunday, Press-Republican was

read far and wide, he also contributed regularly to numerous national and regional magazines including Vermont Outdoors, Adirondack Life, Sports Afield and the NYS Conservationist.

As a writer, Aprill's work was highly regarded and he regularly earned awards from the NYS Outdoor Writers Association, the New England Outdoor Writers Association and the Outdoor Writers Association of America. He was honored as well by the state Department of Environmental Conservation Earth Day Media Partnership, and in 1999, the Woodmen of the World named him their Conservationist of the Year.

In 2009, Aprill was inducted into the NYS Outdoorsman Hall of Fame, joining the ranks of such local notables as Bob Brown of Saranac Lake, the late Nellie Staves of Tupper Lake, Bill Wellman of Plattsburgh and the late, Francis Betters of Wilmington, who also was a regular contributor to Aprill’s outdoor page.

In recent months, Aprill’s page also featured stories written by a number of fine writers including Elizabeth Lee of Westport and Dan Ladd from Fort Ann. Aprill also continued to feature regular weekly columns written by the late, great Francis Betters. Betters’ writings, about flyfishing the Ausable River, are as timely today as when he first wrote them. The fly hatches he studied and the fly patterns he created are still “spot on accurate.”

Aprill presented outdoor news in a manner that allowed it to be easily digested by all users. He also provided a role model for families by regularly involving his children in his outdoor adventures. He was both a

Sinfonietta returns to Lake Placid Depot Theatre season begins Concerts also slated in Westport, North Creek, Tupper Lake, Jay

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid Sinfonietta began their summer season this week and has an exciting lineup of concerts still to come.

The small orchestra, made up of some of the top musicians from across the Northeast and beyond, will perform in Lake Placid, including many free community concerts, as well as at other locations throughout the region.

Music director Ron Spigelman joins the orchestra this year, the result of a long search for a permanent conductor of the ensemble.

“He’s an exciting young conductor,” said Sinfonietta executive director Debbie Fitts.

“He’s personable, and he’s got all sorts of new ideas for the orchestra.”

Among those new ideas is the theme for this year ’s concert series: “It’s Elemental.”

Each concert has a unique theme that centers around the building blocks of the natural world, such as water, precious metals, and the four seasons.

“I think it’s important to have some kind of narrative so all the concerts are tied together,” said Spigelman.

Spigelman said one concert is particularly unique this year: an Aug. 1 performance based on letters from Artur Rodzinski, a famous Polish conductor. Rodzinski’s son, Richard, will be on hand to read excerpts of the unpublished letters that make mention of personal encounters with composers whose music will be performed as part of the program.

“It’s not just pretty music to help us es-

cape for a while; it’s how can we affect people’s lives through music,” said Spigelman.

“I want to bring the reality into the concert hall so, when they leave, it becomes a part of them.”

Anyone can come see the Lake Placid Sinfonietta in action underneath the band shell at Mid’s Park 7 p.m. every Wednesday July 7 through August 11. In case of poor weather, the concerts will be held 7:15 p.m. indoors at St. Agnes Church. These concerts are free and open to the public.

Every Sunday evening, 7:30 p.m. July 11 through Aug. 15, the Lake Placid Sinfonietta will be at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts performing their Symphony Series concerts. Tickets for each performance are $22 and free for students 18 and younger. A series discount is available.

A special Children’s Concert sponsored

by Stewart’s Shops is scheduled for July 14, 10 a.m. at LPCA featuring a gentle tale about toys that march and sing while accompanied by the orchestra. Admission is free.

The ensemble also has four “road” performances lined up as part of its 2010 Adirondack Series: July 10 at the Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek, July 15 at the Westport Heritage House, July 22 at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, and Aug. 7 at the Amos and Julia Ward Theatre in Jay. All but the last require $20 general admission.

“I don’t think we’ve ever played in Westport since I’ve been around,” said Fitts.

“We’re really excited to go there; it should be a fun concert.”

For more information about the Lake Placid Sinfonietta and their upcoming concerts, visit lakeplacidsinfonietta.org or call 523-2051.

Tickets can now be purchased on-line

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WESTPORT — The 2010 repertory season at the Depot Theatre opens this weekend, and as it does, the theatre is moving further into the 21st century.

July 9 marks the opening night for “What a Wonderful Feeling,” the first of five productions the nonprofit, professional theatre company will be bringing to its stage, housed in a restored 1876 train depot, this summer and fall.

But the entertainment isn’t the only novel feature this season. This 130-year-old building is now using some up-to-date technology to reach new audiences.

The theatre has expanded its presence on the Internet with a redesigned Web site, a new blog, a fan page on Facebook, a Twitter account, and most importantly, on-line sales capability.

“For the last 30 years, patrons have been limited to our box office hours, which have changed from season to season depending on staff and budget,” said managing director Chris Casquilho. “We’ve finally pulled together the capacity to take advantage of the leaps in technology so you can book tickets anywhere you can get the Internet, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, whether someone is here to answer the phone or not.”

Visitors to the Web site can pay for tickets on-line and print them at home. Users can also order subscriptions, make donations, and register for events on the site. Casquilho said the new options save paper, stamps, and time for everyone.

The theatre’s new blog offers behind-thescenes information about the Depot produc-

tions, and the Facebook and Twitter accounts are used to broadcast the information to a wider, more involved audience, allowing fans to interact by posting reviews and comments about the productions.

Casquilho says the Depot has also used Facebook to raise some money for the theatre’s programs.

“We have a couple of kitties that keep the mice under control, and they had some medical expenses,” he said. “We put the call out on Facebook and raised a couple hundred dollars to pay for it.”

He said the Facebook page has also helped raise more than $200 for the Depot’s Shakespeare-in-the-Park program — a free summer program for youth.

“For community-based organizations with little or no money for marketing, it’s essential to take advantage of these tools,” said Casquilho; “they’re free!”

Casquilho has given seminars on social media for arts organizations and has offered to advise any nonprofit or community groups with questions about how to use online social media to promote their missions.

He can be contacted by calling 962-8680.

“I can’t build your Web site, but I can show you how to get your blog published to your Facebook account, and things like that,” he said.

As it has in recent seasons, the Depot Theatre will continue to offer “Name Your Price Night” for the first Monday evening performance of each production, allowing patrons to see the show for whatever price they’re willing to pay. The first is July 12.

Photo by Matt Bosley

SARANAC LAKE — An art gallery collection entitled “Old Dogs, New Tricks” will be featured in the Pendragon Theatre Gallery now through July 30.

The show features new oil pastel drawings by Matt Paul and sculptures by Maria DeAngelo, who currently live in Saranac Lake. Paul’s drawings are portraits based on Rudyard Kipling’s “Just So Stories.” DeAngelo’s new sculptures are about playing with words and creating visual puns.
