matt@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Two meetings will be held at the Westport Town Hall this upcoming week to discuss the possible expansion of Westport’s hamlets.

“Hamlet” is the least restrictive land use designation in the Adirondack Park, and is generally reserved for the most dense population centers. Expanding the borders of a hamlet requires extensive review by and approval of the Adirondack Park Agency.

In Westport, however, a serious effort is being made to develop a plan for needed growth.

ACAP Weatherization earns big grant

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A $565,000 grant awarded to Adirondack Community Action Program’s Weatherization Assistance Program will aid efforts to make homes throughout Essex County more energy-efficient.

“We’re very fortunate to receive the funding and pleased that the funding can have such a positive impact in the community,” said ACAP executive director Alan Jones.

In late June, the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal named ACAP as one of 24 agencies across the state to receive funds from a $55.4 million incentive pool through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. To be eligible for the incentive grant, the agency had to complete or begin construction on at least 30 percent of the units they initially agreed to assist.

“We’re also very pleased with the staff as we were one of only 15 counties in the state to meet production goals,” Jones said.

The grant will make it possible for ACAP’s Weatherization Assistance Program to reduce its waiting list and to address multi-family buildings.

For instance, the extra funding will enable the program address energy issues in 15 group homes. Residents of these homes had been on the waiting list for weatherization.

The program was able to leverage and partner with Mountain Lake Services, the owner of the homes, allowing for a complete “whole house system approach” that will provide more energy-efficient measures, explained Barbara Allen, ACAP Weatherization and Energy Services director.

Senior housing in Essex County has also been added to the list of WAP projects, including three assisted living homes in Lake Placid,

Bloomingdale, and Ticonderoga for a total of 82 units. ACAP anticipates weatherizing at least two more multi-dwellings for an additional 160 units.

“For some of the larger projects, like the one in Lake Placid, we will solicit bids for independent contractors to complete that work,” said Jones.

It is projected that, by next winter, the program will have weatherized approximately 325 units in Essex County with an estimated cost of fuel savings of between $105,625 and $113,750. This equates to an average savings of $325 to $350 per household weatherized.

Statewide, an estimated 7,700 homes will be weatherized through the latest round of incentive grants. The state is reportedly on track to meet its March 2012 weatherization goals as part of ARRA.

Historic slide show to benefit stained glass window project ELIZABETHTOWN — The Historic Elizabethtown Slide Show is being presented at the Adirondack History Center Museum this Sunday, July 18, 4 p.m. to raise funds for the Town Hall Stained Glass Window Project. Back by popular demand, and with added photographs and materials, local historian Margaret Bartley is offering the Historic Elizabethtown Slide Show as a part of the Elizabethtown Day weekend celebration.

Proceeds from this event benefit the restoration of the Elizabethtown Town Hall stained glass windows, a project of Historic Pleasant Valley and the Essex County Historical Society. All donations are welcome.

The Adirondack History Center Museum is located at 7590 Court St. Reservations are recommended by calling 873-6466.

Another big event was the celebration of Dorothy Perkett‘s 95th birthday. It was really in April, but more could get together now, so she had 94 family and friends gather at her home on Sunset Drive for a great time together.

The Willsboro Heritage Society had a wonderful evening program this past Friday; the subject was shipwrecks on Lake Champlain.

The speaker was Adam Kane from the Maritime Museum; he was most informative and presented a very interesting program. A follow-up program was a boat trip a few days later that took participants out on the lake and to see the sunken ships on a large screen.

he Firecracker Fun Run had huge turnouts in both the adult and kid races July 3. More than 50 adults and 40 youngsters ran in their respective classes. The kids got the better part of the deal: free ice cream cones for participating.

In no particular order, the race sponsors would like to thank Frank Hain, Frank Walls, Meredith Hanna, Mo and Peg Ecclesine, Art Morgan, Billie Vanderhorst and Wayne Bailey.

On Tuesday, July 20, at the Essex Community Church, physical therapist Brian Trzaskos will give a talk on health and meditation. The talk is at 7 p.m. and refreshments will be served. Brian is a gifted therapist who saved my rotator cuffs from eternal pain and misery. By the way, his last name is pronounced “razz-kos”.

A large yellow excavator arrived last week and started clearing land for the sewage treatment plant driveway. Ginny and I stopped to watch the roaring machine do its work as it gracefully and rapidly uprooted trees and brush, making piles for the wood chipper. The plan is to

build the treatment plant first, then start with the collection system. There probably won’t be any work in the village streets until this fall. I spoke to the contractor ’s inspector, who said they’d like to save as many big pines as they can around the plant site. They want to be good neighbors and avoid problems with local land owners as much as possible.

In other construction news, work will be starting on the kitchen this week at the Essex Inn. Or do you call it the Yellow Hotel?

At any rate, the kitchen is going into the open space behind the main building, and the owners hope to have a “soft” opening for the business later this fall. The hotel should be fully open next spring.

A sharp-eyed reader, a real journalist in fact, took me to task for errors in my last column. He correctly noted that July 12 was not a Saturday (sorry, scrabble contestants) and that if a bird of prey drops its lunch, it would not be empty-handed, but empty-taloned. Keep your comments and news coming; I do appreciate them.

his past week, the free summer reading program for early readers age 610 started at the library. On Monday, July 19, from 10-11 a.m., kids can meet author/photographer Jane Stanley who will read one of her books “Hello Molly.” There will also be games and prizes. Next week, Monday, July 26, also from 10-11 a.m., there will be a Squish Squash Freshwater and Wetlands discussion.

While the children are enjoying the fun, parents can enjoy the fantastic art by local artist Judith A. Corigliano. While being born and raised in Missouri, Corigliano has been a North Country resident since the sixties. She is a retired Peru Central School teacher, but currently is an adjunct art professor at Clinton Community College. Her exhibit, “Rare Vue,” features 24 two-dimensional works and four sculptures. For prospective buyers, works range in the very reasonable price range of $75-$600. I went to the exhibit this week, and it is a wonderful exhibit showcasing some marvelous works. The library’s summer hours are Mondays 10-12 p.m. and 1-

7 p.m., Tuesdays 11-5 p.m., Wednesdays 10-12 p.m. and 1-5 p.m., Thursdays 11-5 p.m. and Fridays 10-12 p.m. and 1-5 p.m. The library is closed Saturdays and Sundays. Visit www.cefls/keeseville.htm or call 834-9054 for more information.

Coming up next weekend will be the Garden Tour for the benefit of the library. The Day Tour Tickets are $8, which will gain you admission to an impressive array of gardens highlighting many designs and plantings as well as multiple garden types. Tickets will also gain entry to the final garden and garden party on Lake Champlain with refreshments, live jazz music and a silent auction. Tickets for this exciting day are now available at the Keeseville Public Library, Prays Market, Rulf’s Orchard and Cook and Gardener.

Thanks to Mary and her staff, we all can look forward to many exciting opportunities now and in the weeks to come. Thank you so much, Mary and staff, for your hard work and dedication. It is greatly appreciated and adds immensely to why our community is so special and a wonderful place to call home.

hope you have a chance to enjoy the BBQ Chicken Dinner at the Westport Federated Church starting at 4:30 Thursday, July 15 — this edition of the paper barely makes it out in time, I know, and I apologize to my friends at the church for not getting the info into last week’s column. The same folks are also looking for volunteer “suspects” for the upcoming Honky Tonk Homicide murder-mystery dinner at the church July 30. Call 962-4465 if you’d like to participate or attend.

The Westport Youth Commission Summer Day Camp at the school still has openings if you know any children who might be interested in some fun activities and active play.

The program runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays through Friday, Aug. 6, so there’s still plenty of time left. Call the school at 9628244 to enroll your child.

Learning through play will also be the theme at Ballard Park next week, when multi-instrumentalist Jo Sallins and drummer

Matt Garstka will give a concert Thursday, July 22, and lead two workshops Friday, July 23. I saw Matt playing and then leading a group of young volunteers through some drumming routines at the Hills are Alive fundraiser in June. He’s an amazingly talented musician and teacher who’s got a great way with both the drums and the children — he was energetic, funny, relaxed, and enlightening all at the same time. I highly recommend this for kids of all ages.

The concert on Thursday, where donations will be accepted, starts at 7 p.m. The first workshop on Friday is open to all ages, and goes from 9-10:30 a.m. (children younger than eight should be accompanied by an adult). The second workshop is for ages 13 and up, and goes from 12-2:30 p.m. Register for the workshops at the door or call the Arts Council at 962-8778 to save by registering early. The first 10 registrants will also receive vouchers for ice cream and other sweets at the Galley, the Inn, and Me and My Girls.

You won’t want to miss that, either.

his week, the North Country SPCA would like to bring to your attention a surprisingly easy way to raise funds for our shelter through organized hikes. “Peaks for Pets” helps support our no-kill shelter by encouraging people to pledge a donation to hikers who register with the program. Donors can pledge whatever amount is affordable to them.

In order to organize a hike, first register your hike and select a peak, a date and a fundraising goal; second, ask your family, friends and coworkers to pledge their support using a credit card or PayPal; then, enjoy your hike! All transactions are through a secure server. The NCSPA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization.

All donations are fully tax-deductible. Full instructions are listed on the Web site, www.peaksforpets.org. Additional information is also in Facebook.

Our featured pet this week is Snowflake, a large domestic shorthair-mix cat who is as white in color as her name. Unfortunately, Snowflake’s owner was forced to give her up due to health problems. After years of love and attention, she arrived at the shelter confused and frightened by all of the noise and activity. At first, she was quite shy and fearful, but she has gradually regained her confidence. Snowflake is ready to find a new “forever-home” where she can cuddle up on an available lap and

Snowflake watch the world go by through the window. She is not at all fond of dogs, but she tolerates other cats. She is looking for a home where she can enjoy lots of petting, scratching under the chin, and good food.

If you are interested in adopting a pet from us but aren’t sure of the cost and policies, call us at 962-8604. You can also look on our Web site, www.ncspca.org, for information and a downloadable application.

Adoption fees for cats are approximately $55 at this time; fees for dogs are approximately $100. Your adoption fees help cover food, vaccinations, general medical care, and the cost of spaying/neutering.

Higher deductibles result in premium savings you can pocket or use to upgrade your coverage to be better protected against larger losses, with little or no increased premium. ********* Insurance is best purchased to provide financial protection against large property or liability losses that if not fully covered by insurance would likely result in financial hardship.

T

he United States has almost three times as many Nobel Prize laureates as the nearest competing country. Could it be that Americans are smarter than everyone else? Yes, in that America has allowed people from all over the world to come and help make us great.

Just over 25 percent of American Nobel prize winners are foreign born. Across time, America has been the land of opportunity where your ability could render null the negative cost of your race, political affiliation, gender, religion or nationality.

America presented the opportunity for the greatest minds that the world has ever known to reach for their greatest potential.

A meritocracy that made the United States an economic leviathan and an international icon for personal and intellectual freedom.

While American attitudes toward immigrants have waxed and waned, our country would have suffered mightily without the brilliant men and women listed as Nobel Prize winners who were Americans but foreign born.

Arizona has recently passed a law that seeks to identify, prosecute and deport illegal immigrants. As I understand the ruling, police can demand to see your identification without probable cause, on the surface, a decidedly un-American idea. Now, 15 other American states are considering similar or more severe laws.

From an upstate NY perspective, it is difficult to fully appreciate either side of the

argument and I have not arrived at a hardened position as a result. My concern is that laws could be created that would block the imporBy Scot Hurlburt tant infusion of people and ideas from outside America. If Hispanic immigrants are turned away could we be turning away a Luiz Alvarez, Hispanic Nobel Prize winner in Physics or a Severo Ochoa, Nobel Prize winner in medicine.

Another Hispanic baseball legend might be among the group we turn away like Juan Marichal, Roberto Clemente or Alex Rodriguez.

One of the most salient arguments regarding illegal immigrants is the multibillion dollar drug trade between Mexico and America. Is the drug trade an immigrant problem or an American problem? America has a huge appetite for illegal drugs, without which there would be no drug trade and many fewer illegal immigrants. Subduing the American illegal drug habit could provide part of the immigrant solution. Remember, all kids count.

RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Park Agency’s lead man for economic development is cautioning those who would like to see the agency become more involved in helping attract business to the region.

In a letter submitted to Denton Publications July 6, Steve Erman, the APA’s Special Assistant for Economic Affairs, noted how, in recent months, several citizens and elected officials have suggested expanding the agency’s role in economic development, but said there are better ways to encourage development in the region.

Erman has served in the position since 1982, acting as the main liaison between the APA, regional economic development organizations, and entrepreneurs bringing projects for development within the Park.

“Before coming to the Adirondacks, I was a consultant in Washington, D.C. and learned the importance of building organizational capacity to create and implement workable economic development strategies,” said Erman. “My experiences have given me a unique perspective on what is necessary for a stronger economic development agenda in the Adirondack Park.”

According to Erman, he’s offered substantial outreach to developers by explaining how the APA regulates land use and helping them adjust their plans before submitting an application, thereby allowing the permit process to proceed more quickly.

“My work as an ombudsman has helped reassure entrepreneurs that businesses are welcome in the Park and that, with proper attention to planning details, permits are predictably issued,” he said. “I have also provided objective analyses of the economic and fiscal impacts of projects to the Agency staff and Board.”

Erman is expected to retire soon, however, and many officials, including Assemblywomen Teresa Sayward and Janet Duprey, have suggested this may be the time to establish a more active “economic arm” at the APA that would allow the economic impact of development projects to be weighed as part of the permit review process and make the agency a primary resource for businesses looking to locate in the Park.

“The objectives of protecting the natural character of the Adirondack Park and significantly improving its economy are not mutually exclusive, and the Adirondack Park Agency shares an interest in both,” said Erman. “In my view, however, the Agency should not be the single organization – the ‘one stop shop’ – selected to plan and promote the economic future of the Park because of inherent conflicts with its regulatory mandate.”

While creating and retaining jobs within the park is a part of the APA’s economic development policy, Erman said, it can support economic development only within the limitations of its responsibilities as a regulatory agency.

“We correctly recognize that the Agency cannot identify and recruit specific business ventures because of inherent statutory conflicts of interest when projects need to obtain Agency permits,” he said.

Instead, said Erman, the APA could best encourage development in the region “as a ready and able technical resource and by being knowledgeable about the full implications of Agency decisions.”

“The Adirondack Park Agency has planning resources, including a sophisticated geographic information system, which can be very helpful in supporting regional economic development initiatives,” he said, “and, with additional staff, the Agency can more effectively assist communities throughout the Park in comprehensive planning necessary to encourage economic development.”

Young, Spierto added to Wall of Distinction in Willsboro WILLSBORO — Harris Young and Tom Spierto were honored at Willsboro Central School’s graduation ceremony June 25 when they were named as the newest honorees on the school’s Wall of Distinction.

Sponsored by the Willsboro Alumni Association, the Wall of Distinction was created to honor and recognize deserving alumni of Willsboro for their achievements, prominence, and distinction to the community and society.

Young, a 1942 graduate of Willsboro, served as a pilot in the Army Air Corp during World War II, flying C-46 and C-47 planes.

After his active discharge, he proudly served in the armed forces from 1946-1968 until his retirement from the Air Force Reserves, achieving the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Young returned to Willsboro following the War where he owned and operated Riverside Restaurant for 12 years and drove bus for the school.

In 1947, Young founded the Annual Willsboro Memorial Day Celebration, which continues to

Harris Young

this day. In 2007, he was honored by the National American Legion for 60 years of membership.

Young’s commitment to the military led him to his position as a NYS Veterans’ Counselor. He helped many local families in his role and made a difference in the lives of parents as well as veterans upon their return from service.

Young became involved in local politics in 1976 when he was elected to the position of Town Justice/Councilman. He was credited for turning many lives around with his strict policies and decisions, holding people accountable from the bench. He held this position in the town for 11 years.

Spierto is a member of Willsboro’s Class of 1955 in which he served as the class president. During his high school career, he formed the school’s first student council, served as the captain of the basketball team and started on the championship baseball team.

Spierto came back to Willsboro as a faculty member in 1962. He taught social studies and was the JV Basketball coach, serving in those positions for 33 years. He is recognized for being instrumental in the feeder basketball program, which provided great success as students progressed to the high school basketball program.

He also served as the school’s guidance counselor where he is remembered for going the extra mile to help students select the right college and career.

Spierto served as advisor for nine different classes, including all the fund raising and class trips. He is also remembered for sharing many positive teaching strategies and educational philosophies with younger colleagues.

As a leader in the community, Spierto helped organize the first successful Historical Society; and served on the Youth Commission, Elks Club and Knights of Columbus Free Throw contest, and the Fife and Drum Corps.

Spierto and his wife, Jane, continue to live in Willsboro and spend the winters in the south.

More than 30 people participated in the Literacy Volunteers Summer Scrabble Tournament July 10 at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall. Prizes were donated by Dogwood Bakery, Old Adirondack Furniture, and Adirondack Steak and Seafood. Proceeds went to support local literacy programs. Winners were Wendy Hall of Wilmington, first place; Lorene Forttrell of Chazy, second place; and Schell McKinley of Westport, third place.

Gillibrand hosts roundtable in Lake Placid LAKE PLACID – U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand hosted an economic roundtable in Lake Placid July 9.

New York’s junior senator heard from more than 30 regional officials representing both public and private interests. The first-term Democrat, who was appointed to the seat by Gov. David A. Paterson, told the small crowd Washington’s agenda is wholly-focused on job creation and economic development.

“Everything we’re doing right now is about jobs,” she said.

Infrastructure topped the list of concerns for local officials like Wilmington Town Supervisor Randy Preston, who told Gillibrand the Whiteface Memorial Highway is falling into disrepair and needs immediate attention. “[The Olympic Regional Development Authority} operates the Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway,” Preston told Gillibrand. “It was started by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1931 when he was governor, and completed and opened in 1935 when he was president.”

“To us, it is truly a local, state and national treasure,” he added. “Because of the severe budget cuts there has been with ORDA, its current state is uncertain.”

Joe Martens is chairman of the board of directors for the ORDA. He, too, told Gillibrand

state cuts to ORDA’s budget put the region’s economy in a perilous situation.

“The amount of activity that ORDA generates annually is $350 million regionally, based on what has been as much as an $8 million state investment,” Martens said.

“Now, we’re down to about $4.5 million,” he added. “ORDA is one of the best economic development programs in New York, because from the small investment were pumping tons of money into the area. Any help you could give us would be great.”

Gillibrand told gatherers she and her staff would do whatever was necessary to help facilitate infrastructure concerns.

The senator was joined by Republican state Sen. Betty Little and Republican Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward.

Little told WNBZ that maintaining venues like those run by ORDA is critical to maintaining the North Country’s fiscal solvency — especially as the state wrestles with a nearly $10 billion deficit.

“In recent years, we’ve had many investments in improving the venues and we don’t want to see that go for naught,” Little said. “There are wonderful programs and attractions that we can get, but the venues need to be kept in top shape.”

“The convention center is back on track, and it’s so exciting to come up here. I think Kirsten gets that feeling, too,” she added.

And, while Little stressed the importance of maintaining venues, Sayward notes that infrastructure, like water and sewer systems, should be a top priority for local officials.

“Our communities, even though we have few people, have a lot of aging infrastructure,” she said. “The cost of rebuilding it is critical. We can’t grow jobs; we can’t bring people in if we don’t have the infrastructure to support it, whether it’s parking, water or sewer.”

Gov. David A. Paterson was at the Olympic Center Museum in Lake Placid July 12 to sign the “Jack Shea” bill into law. The law is named for two-time Olympic gold medalist and Lake Placid native Jack Shea, who was killed in an accident caused by a drunk driver in 2002.

Tupper Lake Street Fest to feature live music TUPPER LAKE — The Tupper Lake Chamber of Commerce will celebrate local music this Saturday, July 17, during its second annual Tupper Lake Street Fest and Business Expo.

Two bands from the Tri-Lakes region, Inisheer and Tres Amigos, will treat Street Fest patrons to a wide variety of songs, each with its own twist on the musical art form.

Inisheer plays original and traditional music from Cape Breton, Ireland, Scotland, Nova Scotia, New England, and the Appalachian region. Tres Amigos plays pop, folk, blues and classics.

Tres Amigos and Friends will be under the Music Tent on Cliff Avenue from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. They will give a world premiere performance of “Power to the People,” which was recorded in two versions: the “Hoffman version” for Doug Hoffman’s campaign; and the “National version” for the Tea Party movement across the U.S. The regular Amigos — Bill Foley (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Bob Mann (guitar, vocals) and Larry Reandeau (guitar, banjo) — will be joined by Friends — Pat Mann (drums, banjo, vocals) and John Reandeau (bass, vocals).

The Celtic band Inisheer will give a concert at 1 p.m. in the historic Beth Joseph Synagogue on Lake Street. Since 2003, Inisheer has been entertaining northern New York with high-energy, upbeat performances for audiences of all ages. The six band members are: Joel Perkins (fiddle, keyboard, vocals); Eric VanYserloo (hand percussion, djembe, vocals); Phil Perkins (bass guitar); Sue Grimm (flute, whistle, accordion, hammered dulcimer); Phyllis Perkins-Ezero (keyboard, fiddle, vocals); and Steve Borst (guitars, vocals).

The concerts are made possible, in part, with a Developing Community Arts Grant with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program administered locally by the Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks. Both are free and open to the public.

In addition to the music, the Tupper Lake Street Fest and Business Expo will feature a classic car show from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., including artists, arts and crafts, street vendors, sidewalk sales. The activity will be centered on Park Street, Cliff Avenue and Lake Street and will take place 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

For more information, call the Tupper Lake Chamber of Commerce at 359-3328.

Habitat home finished in Keeseville

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — A house built with the sweat of community volunteers and the support of local businesses has now become a home for a family in need.

Champlain Valley Habitat for Humanity held a special dedication ceremony July 8, marking the end of a two-and-a-half-year project to construct a house on Hill Street.

Single mother Candace Mallernee will move into the nearly 1,200-square-foot home with her two children. The three had temporarily been living with Mallernee’s parents in nearby Peru.

“It’s huge,” said Mallernee. “Just knowing that we have a healthy, safe place to live is such a big weight off my shoulders.”

Mallernee’s friends and neighbors joined Habitat for Humanity volunteers in welcoming her family to the finished home with a prayer of dedication led by Keeseville United Methodist Church pastor Edie Poland. Mallernee shed tears of joy as CVHFH board members presented her with a Bible and members of the Keeseville Quilters Guild donated quilts they had made for her and her children.

The house is the sixth completed by CVHFH in its 11 years as the Clinton County affiliate for Habitat for Humanity International.

According to CVHFH president Harriet Burrell, about 40 to 50 people contributed their in-kind and volunteer services to building the house, the materials for which were purchased largely with donations from local businesses.

The site for the home in Keeseville was offered to CVHFH at a “greatly reduced price” by

the former owner, Helen Eagle, said Burrell.

Families may be eligible for a Habitat house provided they currently live in substandard housing and meet certain income guidelines. They must also be willing to contribute their own labor to the project and able to take on the mortgage for the home.

“It’s a zero-interest mortgage,” said Burrell, “and the monetary amount can be a lot lower than a conventional mortgage because of all the volunteer labor that’s done.”

In an unusual turn of events, the original family selected for the home in Keeseville could no longer commit to moving in, said Burrell.

“Their situation changed where they weren’t able to take the home,” said Burrell, noting how the unusually long timetable for the project proved difficult for them.

Mallernee heard about the opening and applied for the house in March. Because the house was near completion, she will have to contribute her own “sweat equity” by doing landscaping work on the property and helping construct the next CVHFH home already under construction in Rouses Point.

“I’m very grateful to Habitat for the opportunity to have a house,” she said.

Champlain Valley Habitat for Humanity will hold their next major fundraiser with a golf tournament Wednesday, Aug. 4, at the North Country Golf Club in Rouses Point. To sign up to play or sponsor a hole, call 297-2582.

InBrief

Volunteers sought for loon census SARANAC LAKE — The Wildlife Conservation Society’s Adirondack Program is looking for volunteers to help census loons on Adirondack lakes. The 2010 census takes place this Saturday, July 17, 8-9 a.m.

WCS conducts the annual loon census with the help of local Adirondack residents and visitor volunteers. This data provides a quick glimpse of the status of the breeding loon population in and around the Adirondack Park and across New York State. The results help guide management decisions and policies that affect loons.

Census volunteers are needed to monitor lakes from 8-9 a.m. on the census day and report the number of adult loons, chicks, and immature loons they observe. Similar loon censuses are also conducted in other states throughout the Northeast at the same time on the same day, contributing to a thorough regional overview of the population’s current status.

The census is conducted in partnership with BioDiversity Research Institute.

Volunteers can learn more about how to register to participate at www.wcsadirondacks.org, by calling 891-8872 or e-mailing adkloon@wcs.org.

Reception slated for artists Marsh, Kahler WILLSBORO — The Paine Memorial Library announces its third Summer Art Show for 2010. This show will feature the work of two local artists: Happy Marsh of Essex, and Debra Kahler of Wadhams.

Happy Marsh has shown her watercolors for a number of years in the region in juried art shows and at the Adirondack Art Association gallery in Essex. Debra Kahler has been a painter for many years and will be showing her lake views and landscapes in oils as well as some monographs.

There will be a reception for both artists Wednesday, July 21, 5-7 p.m. at the library. An assortment of good things to eat and drink will be available and the public is invited to stop by and meet the artists.

The show will run July 19 through Wednesday, Aug. 4, during regular library hours. For more information, call 963-4478.

Benefit Sunday to help Ellenburg Depot man ALTONA — A benefit spaghetti dinner for Ellenburg Depot resident Richard “Rick” LeClair will be held this Sunday, July 18, at the Rainbow Wedding and Banquet Hall, 47 Woods Falls Road.

The event will begin at 11:30 a.m. and include a Chinese auction, silent auction, 50/50 drawing, and motorcycle run. Entertainment will be provided by Supreme Sounds DJ service.

LeClair is a 47-year-old father of two who suffered two strokes on Mothers Day. LeClair was left partially-paralyzed from the strokes and is currently confined to a wheelchair. He is undergoing physical therapy.

The benefit will help with LeClair ’s medical expenses.

For more information, call Virginia LeClair at 594-7445. Donations may be mailed in care of Rick LeClair to P.O. Box 336, Ellenburg Depot N.Y. 12935.

Adirondacks Unplugged returns

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com CHATEAUGAY — The Chateaugay Rotary Club is looking to get people plugged into Adirondacks Unplugged.

The summer music festival, now in its third year, is raising money to restore a piece of the town’s history — the Chateaugay Theatre on East Main Street.

Bill Fitzgerald, promoter for Adirondacks Unplugged, said the Chateaugay Rotary Club has teamed up with the Chateaugay Revitalization Committee and McCadam Cheese to host this year’s event, slated for Thursday, Aug. 5, at at the Chateaugay Recreation Park on State Route 374.

“This initiative is one the entire community has embraced,” Fitzgerald said of the theatre’s restoration. “And, once complete, it will be a great source of pride and activity for the community.”

The first phase of the estimated $90,000 restoration will involve a complete renovation of the more than 400-seat theatre. Improvements to the

theatre’s lighting, sound and decor will be among the chief concerns addressed, said Fitzgerald.

“We’re about there with all the fundraising that’s required,” he said. “We’re hoping that with this event it will put us over the top so we can begin this project very soon.”

Additional improvements would be planned “down the road,” said Fitzgerald, but, for now, the idea is to establish a place from which to start what he feels will be a success story for Chateaugay.

“We’re looking at this first phase as a way to get this theatre up and running and to create some buzz in the community and the surrounding area,” he said. “The more activity and people we can bring to the community with this as the centerpiece, there’s no limit to what might be possible for Main Street.”

Once restored, Fitzgerald said it’s quite possible the local high school could host a movie night once a month in the theatre and a theatre camp in the summer.

“We’ve even talked about connecting with the theatre program at [the State University of New

“The whole idea behind Adirondacks Unplugged is to create this brand that’s synonymous with great music and entertainment,” said Fitzgerald, adding he believed this year’s mix of up-tempo artists does just that. “It’s going to be a really good time and affordable for everybody.”

The Aug. 5 event will open at 5 p.m. with performances scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

The open-air concert will be held rain or shine and attendees are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets for seating.

Admission will be $7.50 for adults. Students younger than 12 years old will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult.

Tickets are on sale at Alix’s True Value and Wendy’s Quick Stop in Chateaugay, Dick’s Country Store in Churubusco and on-line at www.themusicoasis.com or www.chateaugayrotary.com.

“This really is a case where if we can get this facility renovated as we have planned, there’s no limit as to what can happen,” he added.

Though keeping in mind plans for the future, Fitzgerald’s sights are still set very much on the present, particularly on making Adirondacks Unplugged a success. And, by bringing in countryrock band Stonehoney to headline the event.

“They are just an awesome country-rock band,” he said.

Stonehoney, which just released their debut album, “The Cedar Creek Sessions,” just began a national tour, with Chateaugay fortunate enough to be a stop on the list, said Fitzgerald.

“We were able to get their attention,” said Fitzgerald, who credited the idea to Drew Scott, a disc jockey for Wild Country 96.5 in Malone.

“People are going to be thrilled with the quality of music that we’re going to bring.”

Opening for Stonehoney will be Plattsburgh rock band The Angry Neighbors and Burlington’s Caroline O’Connor, who is originally from Chateaugay.

Garden tour to benefit library KEESEVILLE — A handful of residents here are using their green thumbs to help raise a little green for their local library.

“Garden Pathways of Keeseville,” a fundraiser to benefit the Keeseville Free Library, will be held from 12-3 p.m. Saturday, July 24.

Seven gardens, located at the homes of several friends of the library, will be open to visitors throughout the afternoon. Their locations will be kept secret, however, revealed only on a map given to tour participants.

One gardener making her blooms available for the tour agreed to be interviewed for this article on condition of anonymity. Here, she is referred to by the pseudonym “Lily Patch.”

“People are always curious to look in other people’s gardens,” said Patch. “You get ideas on the different little things to put in

your garden. People that like flowers really like to do this kind of thing.”

Those who purchase tickets for the tour can pick up their map between noon and 1:30 p.m. at the library and drive between the seven gardens, all located in and around Keeseville.

“There is a suggested route, but they can go anywhere they want,” said Patch.

Along the way, participants will see a wide variety of flowers, impressive landscaping, and, of course, beautiful scenery.

“Two of the gardens are right on the lake, and the views are fantastic,” said Patch.

“One garden is particularly unique because it has lots of different kinds of heather.”

Lily, and her husband, “Basil,” have been gardening for more than 30 years and focus mainly on organic vegetables and fruits, including a vineyard with blackberries, raspberries, and a variety of cold-hardy grapes.

The Patches will have at least 20 of Lily’s quilts on display during the tour, as well, and may even have a Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener on hand to pro-

One garden, deemed the final one on the tour, will feature live music, refreshments, and a silent auction from 3-4 p.m. The auction features original paintings and photographs by local artists, wine baskets, quilts,

and gift certificates to local businesses.

Advance tickets for the tour can be purchased for $8 at the Keeseville Free Library, Pray’s Market, Rulf ’s Orchard, or Cook and Gardener. Tickets are available only at the library the day of the tour for $10.

Hamlet From page 1 As Supervisor Dan Connell explained, the town established a Blue Ribbon committee in 2006, a group that has since done a significant amount of research to determine where expansion of the hamlet of Westport might be feasible.

The process of hamlet expansion started, said Connell, due to growing concern about the need for affordable housing in Westport.

“If we have some property in the existing hamlet or beyond the existing hamlet that we can develop, maybe some of that development would be more affordable to working families,” he said.

A $50,000 planning grant allowed the town to hire consulting firm Saratoga Associates to expand on that research, developing a more detailed plan for how property in the expanded hamlet could potentially be developed.

Saratoga Associates will be present their preliminary ideas in an informational meeting Wednesday, July 21, at 6 p.m. in the Town Hall.

“This piece is designed to propose to property owners who might have some property that could be subdivided,” said Connell, noting how the firm will suggest ways to increase the value of land brought into the hamlet.

“We’re not telling anybody what to do with their property,” said Connell. “It’s just giving the property owners some ideas to think about.”

The meeting will also give those owners a chance to provide their feedback on the initial findings.

Another meeting, to be held 7 p.m. Thursday, July 22, will serve as a public hearing regarding a proposed map amendment that would expand Westport’s other hamlet, Wadhams.

The Adirondack Park Agency will conduct the public hearing, which is in regards to a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement that proposes adding as much as 21 acres along the south side of State Route 22 to the Wadhams hamlet.

Wadhams resident Darlene Kahler Gough submitted a request for the map amendment claiming her property and the area surrounding it — designated as strictly-regulated resource management land — would be more correctly defined as hamlet.

Gough mentioned in her request how her 2.07 acre property is the largest among 13 residential parcels, all serviced by public water and sewer, in the proposed area, which also includes a cemetery, a playground, and a wastewater treatment facility.

Connell described the Wadhams expansion as a correction of the map the town submitted to the Adirondack Park Agency years ago. He contends there was an error at some point where the borders of the hamlet were incorrectly redrawn.

“All of the houses in Wadhams on [that] side of Route 22 are in resource management,” he said. “They should have been in the hamlet. All that will really do is classify it as it was and as it is now.”

Congressman Bill Owens and Candidate Rudy Johnson, who is running for the 114th NY Assembly District, addressed a bi-partisan gathering at the Old Mill Bed and Breakfast in Elizabethtown July 11. The Essex County Democratic Committee will be hosting additional house parties in the coming months to which all voters are invited.

Summer heat brings schools of bass The heat of the summer arrived in the Adirondacks last week, bringing with it a mix of brilliant sunshine, soaring temperatures, high humidity and a series of passing thunderstorms.

The string of 90-plus, degree days drove many local residents to the rivers and lakes seeking relief from the heat. At the same time, the warmer temperatures drove both bass and trout to the deeper waters looking for colder, more oxygen rich conditions.

Across the region, residents and visitors alike flocked to the beaches, boat launches and local swimming holes. It was a good week to enjoy the outdoors.

Obviously, New Yorkers have been visiting their local waters quite regularly, for even though NY state residents do not have an opportunity to enjoy a full four seasons of water based recreation.

Despite this fact, New York has been ranked among the top ten boating states in the country according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association, (NMMA).

As expected, Florida heads the new list of top ten boating states with annual boat sales of $1.2 billion in 2009. The study reveals that New Yorkers invested over $381 million dollars on boats and boating related recreation last year.

Following Florida on the Top 10 list are Texas, California, North Carolina and New York, with Lake Champlain being named the most popular destination. Louisiana, Washington, Delaware, Michigan and Minnesota round out the top ten.

Listing the state’s Hot Spot as Lake Champlain, NMMA noted, “Spanning 120 miles from Quebec to Whitehall, Lake Champlain is renowned for its beautiful scenery and boating opportunities, particularly fishing - named one of the top five bass fishing destinations in the U.S. by FLW Outdoors magazine.”

The Big Lake also ranks very high on a list of the most productive bass waters in the country, a fact that will not be missed by the college crowd; who will arrive this weekend to participate in a major bass tournament on the National Guard FLW College Fishing, Northern Division Series. These anglers give a new meaning to the term a ‘School of Bass’.

Scheduled for Saturday, July 17, the National Guard FLW College Fishing bass tournament is the third of four stops in the Northern Division Series. Other stops in the Northern Division Include Mt. Island Lake, in Mount Holly, NC, the River in Marbury, MD and Lake Erie in Erie, PA. But the college boys (and girls) competing in the series won’t

be competing for just cash and a trophy. The winning team in the National Guard FLW College Fishing National Championship will also qualify for the Forrest Wood Cup, one of the most prestigious bass-fishing championships in the nation with a top prize of $600,000.

The winning team member with the heaviest total weight in the National Guard FLW College Fishing National Championship will have the opportunity to compete in the pro division and the other member of the winning team will compete in the co-angler division of the Forrest Wood Cup. FLW Outdoors provides boats and drivers for each competing team along with travel allowances.

All participants must be registered, full-time undergraduate students at a four-year college or university and members of a fishing club recognized by their college or university.

The top five college teams from each tournament will qualify for the regional championship where the first-place team wins $25,000 cash for their school and a bass boat for their fishing club.

The top five teams from each regional advance to the national championship where the first-place team wins $50,000 for their school and $25,000 cash and a bass boat for their fishing club.

“The lake is full of bass,” said FLW Tour pro Pete Gluszek, who has a win and two top 10 finishes on Lake Champlain. “The unique thing about Lake Champlain in July is that the tournament can be won with either small or largemouths. ”The largemouth will be in the grass and flippin’ and froggin’ will be the way to catch them. The smallmouth will be deeper and drop-shotting in 40–50 foot depths will be key.”

The college anglers will take off from Plattsburgh Boat Basin located at 5 Dock Street in Plattsburgh at 6 a.m. Weigh-in will be held at the boat basin as well beginning at 1 p.m. Takeoffs and weigh-ins are free and open to the public.

Plattsburgh State which supports a bass team, has a boat entered in the Northern Series. Currently, the 2010 ranked college bass teams in the country include 1. North Carolina State University, 2. Auburn University, 3. University of North Carolina – Charlotte, 4. Virginia Tech and 5. University of Wisconsin – Madison.

Another good one….gone.

It is with great sadness that I note the recent passing of an-

Bass, both smallmouth and largemouth are abundant in the North Country, as evident in these shots of happy anglers. other extraordinary, North Country outdoorsman. Marshall Fish of Westport died last week. Although renowned as a gunsmith, a trade he practiced for over 65 years, Marshall was also a crack shot and a wise mentor.

His marksmanship skills with a rifle were once featured in Ripley’s Believe It or Not, when Marshall cut a playing card in half, edgewise, while shooting over his shoulder and taking aim with the aid of a handheld mirror.

His abilities in dealing with sportsmen and women were no less skilled and he aided many outdoor enthusiasts in the pursuit of their hobbies. Marshall was always a great source of reliable information and was especially keen on the art of blackpowder shooting, long before the advent of smokeless powder and inline rifles.

A longtime collector of Winchester Model 94, lever action carbines, Marshall was especially distraught when we spoke in 2006. He was outraged that U.S. Repeating Arms, under the Winchester brand, had announced that they would no longer manufacture the “gun that won the west.”

The company’s move signaled the end of an era, and so does Marshall’s passing.

Glorious day, 170 young anglers mark annual kids fishing derby INDIAN LAKE — The weather gods were shining once again on Adirondack Lake in the Town of Indian Lake during the Indian Lake / Blue Mt. Fish and Game Association’s annual Kids Fishing Derby held July 3. A glorious day, hardly a breeze, as 170 children vied to catch the largest fish that they could coax out of the water. By the end of the day 446 sunfish, perch, pike, and bass had been landed, weighed, tabulated, and returned to the lake.

Jaine Smith, 8 years, of Kattskill Bay, NY earned the honor of catching the largest fish of the day, a 2 pound 1 ounce large mouth bass. In addition to a first place certificate, Jaine was awarded a $30 first prize check and a trophy for the largest fish of the day. The trophy was dedicated in memory of George Nemec of Warrensburg in recognition for all of the support that he had provided to the Kids Fishing Derby in recent years.

Saturday was a prolific day for Kim Johnson,

Dillsburg, PA, who led the way with catching the most fish from shore, 49. Other first place winners were Kyle Williams Jr., North Syracuse, NY who brought in the largest (and only one of day) bullhead; Chase Hutchins, Indian Lake and Tim Lutz, Anoramdale, NY tied for largest perch. A few rock bass were caught with Jack Tunkel, Pennington, NJ narrowly winning with a nine ouncer. In the small mouth category, a thirteen ounce bass caught by Will Sullivan, Great Meadows, NJ led the pack. First and second prize certificates and modest cash prizes were awarded to kid fishers for each species of fish caught.

While everyone could not win a first prize, every child who entered was a winner. The expectation after tossing a line in the water was really reward enough. Many children caught fish and enjoyed the thrill of bringing the fish to the colorful weigh stations where members of the Fish & Game Association took great care

to treat each fish as a potential prize winner. An ongoing casting contest awarded multiple fishing lure prizes for tossing a lure into a floating ring, raffles provided prizes throughout the morning for all kid fishers and a grand raffle at the derby’s end awarded over 30 rod and reel combinations. All this plus over 450 hamburgers & hot dogs, and soft drinks provided free to participants and their adult supervisors. An ice cream wagon provided a cool treat at midmorning.

Funds for the derby were provided by local businesses, Fish and Game Association member donations, friends of kids fishing, and a few out of town and national companies. This year, the Indian Lake Community Yard Sale made a significant donation as well. Many parents new to the derby were gratefully incredulous that the entire day was without cost. The generosity of all of the donors and the dedication of the Fish and Game Association members and

friends who work at the derbies has resulted in an annual event unrivaled in the North Country.

The Indian Lake/Blue Mountain Lake Fish and Game Association, Inc. is an organization dedicated to the promotion of better fishing and hunting, sportsmanship, and conservation including training and support of youth activities associated with these goals. Instruction in the proper handling of firearms and the support of legislation pertaining to the use and ownership of firearms are important values to the Association.

Membership is open to any person who has similar interests and is willing to support the Association through occasional volunteering of time to help further the Associations' goals. You may contact the Association by writing to Box 521, Indian Lake, NY 12842.
