County wants to go back to table Lawmakers hope to renegotiate with unions

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The chairman of the Essex County Boar d of Supervisors hopes to renegotiate the terms of a contract with county workers.

With two of the state’s biggest unions – the Public Employees Federation and the Civil Service Employees Association – striking deals in recent weeks to stave off layoffs, Randy Douglas wants the union that represents the county’s workforce to sit down at the bargaining table.

The county is currently in the final year of a four -year contract with the local Civil Service Employees Union, which r epresents about 400 county employees.

Douglas, a Democrat from Jay, said the county needs some concessions in order to present a balanced budget.

But that scenario doesn’t appear likely, he added.

The parade led the crowd to Cobble Hill Golf Course for more fun and games, with a fireworks show capping the evening. See more photos on page 3 and online at the Valley News Facebook page.

Fun and festivities were everywhere for E-Town Day!

Found portraits of local settlers on display at Adirondack History Center ELIZABETHTOWN — Portraits of William Gilliland and Rhoda Cady Jackson, both early settlers in the Boquet V alley, have r eturned to Elizabethtown.

The first is of W illiam Gilliland, who is best known as the first settler in Essex County , and the husband of Elizabeth Gilliland, for whom the Elizabethtown is named.

The original portrait of Gilliland was painted in 1789 by the well-known portrait artist Ralph Earl while both men were serving time in debtors prison in New York City.

For over a century the portrait hung in the Gilliland home in W illsboro. Sometime in the early 20th century , Gilliland’s gr eat-granddaughter, C arrie C uyler, a s elf-taught a rtist, painted a small copy of the Ralph Earl portrait.

In 2008, Mar garet Bartley found the Cuyler painting on Ebay and bought it from a seller in Vermont. In 2011, she donated the painting to the Adirondack History Center Museum, where it will become part of the permanent collection.

The other, of Rhoda Cady Jackson, was painted by an unknown artist. Sometime in the ear-

ly 1850s, the painter made his way to theemote r home of Daniel and Rhoda Jackson. The Jacksons and their eight children lived at the foot of Hurricane Mountain high above Elizabethtown on what had once been part of the Calkin farm.

The artist pr obably copied a small daguerr eotype photo of Rhoda Jackson, rather than painting her from life.

Shortly after the painting was completed, the Jacksons moved to Wisconsin. Since they travelled by cover ed wagon, the lar ge painting would have been left behind with their youngest son, W illiam Jackson, who stayed in Elizabethtown on the Jackson farm until 1858.

Sixty years later, in the 1920s, the renowned portrait artist W ayman Adams pur chased the Jackson farm. The portrait of Rhoda Jackson remained in the Adams studio until it was torn down in 2009. The painting was pur chased by Bartley from auctioneer Rickey Fields and then cleaned.

Both paintings ar e now on display in the Adirondack History Center in Elizabethtown.

Margaret Bartley stands with portraits of William Gilliland and Rhoda Jackson.

ummer heat brings out swimmers.

While some folks have a back yard pool, most people have to find their own swimming holes. In years past there was a beautiful pool of water up stream from the footbridge. Many folks, now approaching senior citizen status, remember learning to swim in the cold water of the Little Boquet, AKA “The Branch”.

There was once a deep swimming hole below New Russia on the Boquet, where the river takes a bend below a steep bank.

It was the favorite spot as far back as the 1936 when Ozzie Sweet cooled off after carving the profile of “Indian Joe” in a big rock along Rte 9.

A younger generation discovered coldwater delights at Rice’s falls, below Lord Rd. For over a hundred years the swift moving water and steep grade made it a perfect place for water-powered industries.

Then the dam washed out. The 1970s generation referred to the location on 9N as US, because of graffiti scrawled on the concrete milldam. Its private property, and the pool is very deep, so do not mistake US for a day at the beach.

Colin Wells • WestportNYNews@gmail.com

Folks looking for a safe and civilized place to swim, especially with little ones, should visit Lincoln Pond Campground.

The admission fee is $8 per car, so carpooling makes sense. The amenities include showers, picnic tables and shade for those who sunburn easily.

For the brave or foolhardy there’s Split Rock falls. Generations of E-towners have been swimming there. The land once belonged to Dick Lawrence, but is now owned by New York State. For those who are new to the area, this is not a place to take Grandma. The climb down to the big pool at the bottom of the falls is treacherous and should never be tried in flip-flops.

And only the most courageous swimmers dive from the high cliffs.

My bet for the best swimming in town is the Fish & Game Club. Dues are only $10 a person or $15 a family, each year. At the club site on the Wadhams Rd. there’s easy access to the Boquet River along mowed trails. You can submerge yourself in clear, slow moving water or play on a sandy beach. This is one of the best places to cool off on a hot day.

For the first time ever, there is no sweet corn growing in my back yard. I planted untreated seed, and it went in late, but almost nothing came up. I think the culprits are crows, who waited until we left for the day and then dropped by for a feast. The potatoes and tomatoes are doing fine, and I just harvested a huge crop of garlic, although something has been getting into the roots and eating the bottom of the heads.

ummer is going by quickly, but there are still lots of interesting things going on here in Willsboro.

We would like to welcome The Rev. Father Micky Demo who has been assigned to the two local Catholic churches; a most welcome event for the community. We are only our best when all of the churches have a religious leader to conduct the weekly services.

A fast approaching summer event is the Ecumenical Vacation Bible School that takes place right after the close of the youth summer program, so watch for more details and sign up interested children. Reminder of the youth project of the Westport/Willsboro Congregational youth group are still offering to assist those in need of clean up after the spring high water damage. If in need leave your request at a special box at the Paine Library. It is hard to believe, but the 27th Annual Old Time Folk Craft Fair will be held on Sat. July 30th up on the soccer field area on Point Road starting10 a.m.. A great day to meet friends and check out the local and area crafter ’s special wears.

I understand that there has been a new

birth that only our Sid Couchey could make possible. I read that he has hooked up Mr. & Mrs. “Champy: and that they have produced a baby “Champy”. The results are on display at Depot Theater art exhibit, way to go Sid. Eli Schwartzberg recently gave a great presentation of his purposed project of converting the old school building into Senior Housing, we are greatly encourage that the project stays on tract. Our Town Clerk Bev Moran is advising all local residents that they are doing a Dog Enumeration for 2011 and all household need to report in to her, if they own a dog or NOT, by law they need this count every so often, check with her or give her a call at 9638933.

A long time summer family that comes to the Bay area is proud to announce a big Happy 90th Birthday to Jim Morley. Our sympathy goes out to the family of Maurice MacDougal upon his recent death.

ot your calendar handy? Don't forget to mark down our next upcoming event! Sunday, Aug. 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. is the Dog Days of Summer, held at the Keene Farmer's Market. Not only can you purchase your fresh, locally grown produce and browse beautiful crafts and jewelry as you do at the regularly held Farmer's Market; you can also enjoy our lineup of exhibits, the pet parade, raffles, and other fun for the whole family, including the family dog. Contact us at 962-8604 for more details. You won't want to miss this entertaining annual event.

Our featured pet today is Mazy, a senior, Staffordshire Bull Terrier-mix who came to us undernourished and ill. Shelter staff have been working to help Mazy gain weight and gain strength. She has a loving personality and gets along well with anyone. Her white coat is striking and she has

creatively mature and unusually focused, you might say, and I think that audiences will find this show highly entertaining. Rehearsals, I have to say, are a blast.

As part of this special year, Lindsay has arranged for our ensemble to travel to Vermont to be part of the first Shakespeare festival at Middlebury's Town Hall Theater.

Selections from The Merchant of Venice will be performed back-to-back with the Town Hall Theater's production of The Tempest, on Sunday August 14, starting at 2 p.m.. This is a remarkable opportunity, and it comes out of Lindsay's unusual energy, and her endlessly creative vision of what theatre can mean.

Later in the summer, at 3 p.m. on Sunday of Labor Day weekend, Carrie Treadwell's American Studio Theatre will also return for their tenth Shakespeare-in-the-Park appearance, with a mad-cap production of Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Daniel Billett and with Carrie herself performing the role of Beatrice. All of the performances I've mentioned here are free and open to the public.

Congratulations to Erwin Barber, who won this weeks $50 Heritage House Raffle drawing.

Rob Ivy • ivy@westelcom.com his Saturday, two plays will be presented at the Whallonsburg Grange. The first, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, will be an outdoor presentation on the lawn by the grange hall. It will start at 2 p.m.; bring chairs or blankets for seating. In case of rain, everything will move indoors. This production will be somewhat abridged and is designed for young people of all ages. Admission is free but donations will be welcome. In the evening, a play called Conference of the Birds will be put on at 7 p.m. and the admission is $6. This is an adaptation of a 12th century poem and will feature masks, singing and dancing. The actors for both plays are part of a traveling troupe based in Blue Mountain Lake.

On Thursday, the July 28, the very talented Joan Crane and Steve Feinbloom will perform at the Essex Community Church at 11:30 a.m. This event is free and will be a mix of blues and bluegrass.

In downtown Essex, crews from the sewer project are repaving streets and reseeding disturbed areas. The ice cream shop is

t's hard to believe, but this is the tenth year of the Westport Shakespeare-in-the-Park Festival, and this year's performances promise to be specially memorable. As before, our first production will feature talented student actors from the Depot Theatre Apprentice Program, who hail from all around the North Country, including Upper Jay and Keene as well as Westport. And once again, they're ably directed by Scott Gibbs and Lindsay Pontius, who have no peers when it comes to immersing student actors in the matchless words and action of Shakespeare's plays.

Come see this young local ensemble in The Merchant of Venice, on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 5-6, at 5 p.m. in the performance pavilion at Ballard Park. The play represents a bold choice for this sort of venue, but laughing lovers and magical forests are only one side of Shakespeare's genius. This disturbing tale of violence, greed, prejudice, and justice has always raised as many questions as it answers, forcing audience members as well as actors to make some really interesting choices.

But we have a great group this year—

just realized that I was a week off with the garden tour. NOW, this Saturday is the Saturday of the tour. My apologies to anyone who I confused with my misdate. So again, Saturday July 23rd is the date of the garden tour. Tickets are available in advance at a cost of eight dollars which can be purchased at the Keeseville Library or Cook and Gardener. On Saturday, the price will be ten dollars.

From noon until 1:30 participants can pick up a self-guided map at the library. Again a lot of work has gone into these gardens and they are very much worth the tour.

Also at the library is the ongoing children’s Monday reading program “One World, Many Stories. The program runs 10:30 until 11:30. Don’t forget that the Photography and Pottery exhibit and sale will continue until the end of the month as well.

The Benefit Chesterfield Fish and Game Club 3-D Shoot was a success. The Club is now on Facebook which has many photos from the event. The next 3-D Shoot will be the last Saturday and Sunday of the month,

July 30th and 31st.

Friday and Saturday of next week also features the annual Keeseville Methodist Church Bazaar. This is always a fun activity with a lot happening.

JC Park has a skateboard concrete slab now in place for enjoyment.

Also in the Keeseville newsletter is a reminder that leaf and brush pick up for the Village of Keeseville will go on through the end of July but will not occur during August or September.

I echo the Village’s “Thanks” for all the hardworking residents who keep our community clean and beautiful. I love to walk around the village, and this year I am finding there is less litter strewn about. On the negative side there does seem to be more dog droppings which certainly is not appealing at all. Dogs need fresh air and exercise and that is a responsibility of the owner but so is cleaning up after the pet.

Yes, it is an inconvenience but still that of the dog’s owner not the rest of the village.

Stay safe and well everybody and enjoy our beautiful community.

Lewis board debates water sales to county jonh@denpubs.com

LEWIS — Supervisor David Blades r eceived pushback fr om his pr oposition to cap the rate at which Lewis sells water to Essex County at the July 13 Town Board meeting.

Essex County uses the water purchased fr om the town at the Public Safety Building and County Jail in Lewis. The county spent $42,403 on 1.8 million gallons of water between Jan. 1 and June 30, according to Blades.

This could be dif ficult for the county to afford given the new statewide 2 per cent tax cap, the supervisor said.

As the curr ent agr eement stands, for every 10,000 gallons Essex County uses, the rate goes up incr ementally by OPEN RS U 24 HO

$2.50, said Blades, who asked the board to consider capping the water rate at the 1 milliongallon rate. If the cap had been in place over the pr evious six months, the water cost to the county would have been $33,957, amounting to $8,446 in savings.

Due to the r ecent statewide 2 percent tax cap, Blades had also mentioned budget cuts would be r equired in Lewis.

Money from the water budget, however, could not be used for anything except water, according to the supervisor.

“Understand, I am not speaking for what the county said or asked me to do,” Blades said. “This is on my own.”

Councilman Robert Sweatt disagreed with the pr oposed change, saying the incr emental water rate was working just as it should.

Countryside Fuels

A Division Of Countryside Management Corp.

wanted to know if a Lewis resident had spent the same amount of water, whether they’d have to pay for it.

“I know it’s not conceivable, but if you did use 1.8 million gallons (of water), would you be expected to pay that bill?”

Monty asked the supervisor .

“Yes or no?”

“I think ...” Blades said.

“Yes or no, Dave?” Monty said.

“No,” Blades said.

“You’re not expected to pay that bill?” Monty said.

“I’m saying no to the question,” Blades said. “What I’m looking at is just trying to bring s omething t o t he t able that’s going to help the taxpayers of the county. That’s all I’m doing.”

The board closed the matter without the offer of a resolution either for or against Blades’ proposal.

“Let’s go back to when this was originally set up,” Sweatt said. “We had an attorney in here that ... set up this sliding scale just for this event that’s occurring now — the wasting of water.”

Councilman Stephen Denton wanted to know if inmate water usage is at the same level as comparably sized facilities.

Lewis Highway Supervisor Eldred Hutchins said employees at the facility were improperly using water for personal use.

“They wash vehicles down there every single night,” Hutchins said. “Why should the residents of the Lewis water district pay for that?”

Guest Viewpoint

Mixed feelings on Crown Changes welcome at APA Point assessor decision I

T

he Cr own Point T own Boar d is switching fr om thr ee elected assessors to a sole appointed assessor. Their July 14 decision was bold, as it is unpopular with many r esidents. It is wise, as it will save taxpayers mor e than $18,000 a year. And it is the tipping point of what could become a tr end in Essex County if other towns follow their lead.

As it stands now, nine of the 18 towns in Essex County have sole assessors, all appointed by their town boards. Crown Point will be number 10 at the end of 2011. Looking at how towns in neighboring counties handle their assessing needs, we’r e left to wonder why many Essex County towns are so slow in making the switch from a threemember board of assessors to a sole assessor.

After all, Cr own Point is mer ely following a statewide trend of moving to a sole assessor; the state Office of Real Property Tax Services r eported that 88 per cent of towns in New York in 2010 had sole appointed assessors, up from 48 percent in 1983. The trend is also clear in the North Country.

In Warren County, all but two of the 1 1 towns (Stony Cr eek and Thurman) have a sole assessor . The town of Johnsbur g switched in 2000, and the town of Bolton did so i n 1 991, b oth b y a v ote f rom th e t own boards. In a 1990 r eferendum, r esidents in the town of Hague voted to change to a sole assessor system.

In Clinton County , all but two of the 14 towns (Beekmantown and Ellenbur g) have a sole assessor.

In Franklin County, all but one of the 19 towns (Constable) have a sole assessor.

And in Hamilton County , all nine towns have a sole assessor (two are elected and the rest are appointed).

In the North Country , ther e ar e clearly more sole assessors than thr ee-member boards of assessors, and we think mor e towns should make the switch, especially in Essex County.

In today's economic climate, it’s imperative that government bodies, such as town boards, r educe tax bur dens for their r esidents as much as pos sible. If they can do

that by achieving the same end result — an accurate assessment roll in this case — with one person rather than thr ee, they should do so. Cut the pork. Streamline the process.

Make it less cumbersome.

The Cr own Point T own Boar d members who voted for the change cited financial reasons for their decision. They wanted to save money. And while $18,000 doesn't go as far as it used to, every little bit helps.

Given the backlash in Cr own Point fr om an overwhelming number of r esidents opposing a sole assessor system, ther e could have been a better way to make this decision. Instead of Town Board members creating a local law themselves, effective Dec. 31, it would have been nice for them to let the voters decide in a fall referendum. It’s true, voters put Town Board members in office to make tough decisions; however , taking away the voters’ choice to decide their own assessor system, especially when it is this controversial, was a mistake.

Yet simply addressing the assessor issue, no matter how the change was made, may have been political suicide for some boar d members.

After the July 14 vote, two Cr own Point assessors — Stephen Mackay and Chairman Carl Ross — voiced their intent to get rid of the three Town Board members who voted for the sole assessor system — Supervisor Bethany Kosmider and council members Bob Patnode and Yvonne Dushane. Kosmider and Dushane ar e up for r e-election this fall. Mackay said, “They ar e going down.” Ross vowed, “These people are not going to be r e-elected.” It should make for an exciting election season.

It’s these possible repercussions from the Crown Point electorate that make the Town Board’s decision a courageous one. W e’re just not sure the board had to be that courageous.

Thanks to the community for help to recover from flooding

C

ommunity support and hours of volunteer help enabled the Westport Marina and The Galley Restaurant to open July 1 after six weeks of being flooded with up to 18 inches of water throughout the entire building. Nearly 100 individuals from Malone, to Ticonderoga, to Lewis, to Vermont contributed to the clean-up and reconstruction effort. Individuals also donated storage space, materials, and supplies.

Without the help of volunteers, the marina would not be open as damage was not covered by insurance. Although Supervisor Dan Connell lobbied for FEMA assistance with Congressman Bill Owens, no federal assistance is available for private property even though, in this case, the marina provides public access to the community of Westport.

Volunteers filled, placed, and removed sandbags. They carried products and materials to safe, dry places using off-premises storage offered by others. They scrubbed and bleached walls, tables, and chairs.

They removed wet sheetrock and insulation, rebuilt the store with firm insulation, pegboard and slat walls, replaced damaged walls in the restaurant with latticework, and painted walls inside and outside. They scraped painted floors. They removed driftwood, raked, and carried merchandise.

Unable to volunteer, a customer sent fresh baked pastries.

“I didn’t cry when we became flooded, as I knew there was nothing we could do, but I was moved to tears three times by the kindness of people coming to help us out.” said Dee Carroll who with sons Larry and Jim, and husband Bob together own and operate Westport Marina, Inc. ShipStore manager, Lane Carroll, is grateful for the patronage of the boating and local community in the newly revitalized store.

Volunteers include Adirondack Council Boy Scout District leaders and members of Troop 63 and their parents, “Homefleet” marina customers, area high school students, friends from the regional businesses and Westport community members, current marina and restaurant employees, a fisherman participating in the LCI Fishing Derby, Camp Dudley staff, leaders, and the Camp Dudley Boys Camping Society.

Wants more public information To the editor: Due to its content, I have eason r to believe that the Town of Elizabethtown Supervisor, Noel Merrihew will never pr ovide Charter Cable the tape of the Elizabethtown T own Board meeting for the month of June. For as long as Merrihew has been in of fice, reluctance to keep the public informed has been his trademark. In an ongoing effort to compensate for his lack of concern, Mar garet Bartley has pr ovided her tape of the June board meeting to Denton Publications and thanks to their cooperation, it is now available online at www.denpubs.com/Site.Youtube.html.

I would r ecommend that all taxpayers and voters in this town take the time to watch, at the very least, the first thirty minutes of this tape and then ask yourself, is this the person I want for supervisor for the next two years?

Merrihew's statement in the last issue of the Valley News, that he does not get an opportunity to respond during the public comment period, is hogwash. Granted, New York state law does not mandate such a period. But the r ecord shows that in the past Merrihew has responded to public comment, time and again. Furthermor e, he has every opportunity to r espond later on during the board meeting, should he choose to do so.

At the month of May T own Boar d meeting, Merrihew accused a local r ealtor of inaccurate statements and perceived business impropriety without providing any facts or evidence to back up his statements. When faced unexpectedly with the tr uth during the month of June Town Board meeting, he became speechless.

kay, I promise that this is the last time I bring it up, but only as a source of how bad it has gotten.

So, there I am in Montreal, walking around with my daughter, taking in the sites and watching as she gets geeked up for the Taylor Swift concert, when our tummies

by Keith Lobdell started grumbling and we made a beeline for Le Cage Aux Sports.

Most of the televisions had - you guessed it - sports on (sports is French for that - see, I’m cultured).

However, two had CNN Headline News on, which was covering the countdown to freedom (as, by the way, I called).

Malynda turns to me and asks, “So, what do you think?”

“I don’t care.”

“But do you think she...”

“Don’t.... care.”

“But...”

“We can go home, you know.”

“Hey, check out the hockey highlights.”

Needless to say, the concert was excellent.

Hey, you think our media is crazy, check out England. Tapping cell phones, paying off Scotland Yard, deleting messages off a murder victim’s cell phone and giving the family hope that the 13-year old girl may still be alive. That right there is the definition of classy.

The problem here that scares me is the fact that Rupert Murdoch is the leader of this news organization.

Does this mean that this style of journalism has already come to the United States and we just don’t know about it? I’d like to think no and be confident in that, but you just can’t be sure anymore.

With all this talk about road conditions in the North Country, I go back to my recent expedition and recall with horror the scariest bridge I have traveled on ever.

On the way back from the Bell Centre, I headed toward Pont Victoria, eventually hitting the St. Lawrence.

As we got there, we immediately hit this deck bridge where what you’re driving on is like a mesh platform.

Not only did that freak me out, but it was so old and the driving groves were so deep that you had to go wherever the grooves took you.

Now, I have two fears in my life heights and bad bridges. This was as bad as it gets, but at least it was nighttime so I could not see down.

You know, its been a while since I have talked about all things Jimmer, so here we go. Fredette was not only drafted in the first round, but with the 10th overall pick, and will now be heading to Sacramento to play for the Kings. In a way I was bummed because he was not going to the Knicks or Celtics, but I am also very excited, because Sacramento has been waiting for a player like this since the days of Mitch Richmond and Chris Webber.

I still consider Sac-town a kind of second home after serving there for two years as a missionary for my church. I have gone back once (would love to go back again) and get a smile on my face every time that Austin Collie plays for the Colts (I remember playing Wayne Gretzky’s Shootout against him when he was eight).

For Jimmer, I hope he enjoys everything Sacramento has to offer and the loyalty of the fans there.

Essex defends audit response

By Jon Hochschartner

Work horse demonstrations will be part of the Essex Farm Open House andTour on Saturday, which will help benefit low-income members with subsidized shares.

Essex Farm, Inn team up for tours

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ESSEX — The Essex Farm will host a tour of its site, complete with a look at a new piece of technology.

The farm r ecently installed a solar panel system on the site, which allows it to generate power for the communal farm.

“We plugged in to the system in November or December of last year ,” Kristin Kimball, of the Essex Farm, said. “We have been up and running since with a 25-kilowatt system and we will definitely have that as part of our tour.”

The tour of the farm will take place at 3 p.m., with a work session scheduled at 10 a.m. and people encouraged to picnic at the farm from noon until 3 p.m.

The work session and tour are free for Essex Farm members, $25 per adult and $5 per child for non-members.

“All proceeds for the tour will be used to

Lewis Continued from page 1 by a significant portion of this community.”

Lewis dir ected several comments at board chairman Curt Stiles, stating that the governor would be asking for his er signation.

Lewis also talked about what he perceived as a “lack of transparency,” by the APA and or ganizations like the Adirondack Council about the r ecent case involving Lewis and theAPA over the right to build farmer housing on his pr operty in Essex.

Lewis latter said again that he was not against the APA, but felt change was needed.

“I look for an APA which is r espected and loved in this r egion,” Lewis said, adding, “It’s time to get the cult aspect out of this thing and turn it into the people’s agency. It can be done.”

Lewis talked about several issues in his five minutes allowed, and continued to talk before Stiles asked him to leave the podium.

“I was asked to come here by the governor ’s...,” Lewis started to say.

“You wer e not asked to come her e by this agency,” Stiles replied.

Lewis then left the podium, with a less than sincere thank you to Stiles and the board.

Following the meeting, Lewis said that he was not “invited,” to attend by the Governor ’s of fice, but was in contact with a r epresentative, Thomas Congdon (Assistant Secr etary for Ener gy and Environment) fr om Andrew Cuomo’s staf f who said that they wer e pleased that he was going to address the APA board.

Spaces remain of Essex Day ESSEX — A limited number of vendor spaces for the 32nd Downtown Essex Day set for Aug. 6 remain, according to event coordinator Katherine Pr eston. She ur ges those inter ested in selling crafts, collectibles, antiques, garage sale items or food at the annual sale to r eserve their space soon.

Anyone inter ested in participating as a vendor should contact Katherine Preston at 963-8966 for details. Downtown Essex Day is sponsored by Essex Initiatives.

Along with the new technology on site, Kimball said that the tour will give people to see the farm during the height of the summer season.

“It is gr eat to show people how food is provided and we love to show people the way that we do it her e,” Kimball said.

“Everything is running in full right now.”

Other parts of the tour will include the vegetable fields, a working horse demonstration and livestock.

The tour will be followed by a dinner featuring food fr om the Essex Farm will be hosted at the Essex Inn at 6 p.m., which r ecently re-opened its doors.

Kimball, author of the memoir, “The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love,” will lead a dinner discussion about local food and farming. The dinner is $28 and reservations with the Inn are required.

The Folk Craft Fair will be held Saturday, July 30 fr om 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., at the Point Road site with vendors, food and entertainment throughout the day.

“This is an annual celebration of the things that ar e done by hand,” Mar cia Bierce, who helps organize the event, said.

“That is how we have described the event for the past 27 years.”

Bierce said that ther e ar e curr ently 49 vendors ready to display their ware s at the fair, which include baskets, wood carvings and cr eations, towels, oil paintings, jewelry, knitted goods and more.

“Some years we have plants, but I am not sur e if ther e ar e any signed up yet,” Bierce said. “Ther e is pr obably still r oom for vendors, and those inter ested can call the library (963-4478) and speak with director Cheryl Blanchard.”

Along with craft vendors, there will also be food on site, including a barbecue wagon, a snack shack and the annual W illsboro Methodist Church Michigan stand.

Entertainment will include Colleen Blanchard, the Gr een Beans and Chuck Moynan and Friends thr oughout the day, all keeping with the local flare.

“This is basically an Adirondack fair ,” Bierce said. “W e have some people that come from Malone or Vermont, but it is a very local event.”

Admission to the event is on a donation basis at the gate.

“We get everything fr om a quarter to a $20 bill,” Bierce said.

The craft fair is sponsor ed by the Paine Memorial Library. For mor e information, call 963-4478.

Two named to Willsboro CS Wall of Distinction WILLSBORO — During the commencement cer emonies for the Class of 201 1 at Willsboro Central School June 24, the school added two more names to its Wall of Distinction.

One of those names looks very familiar, as Kenneth Coonr od joined his son, Keith Coonrod, as a recipient of the honor.

Along with Coonr od, Evelyn Foley was also named as a member of the wall, which is displayed between the elementary and high school wings of the WCS building.

Foley was born and raised in W illsboro and it is wher e she raised her six childr en.

She was a Licensed Pharmacist of Willsboro Pharmacy which she owned and operated with her husband Richard, for 33 years. She was one of the first qualified EMT s in the Willsboro Fir e Department and a lifelong member of the Fire Department and Rescue Squad.

Foley was also instr umental in making Willsboro Senior Housing a r eality and served on the Smith House Boar d of Dir ectors.

She was involved in the Willsboro Central School as a lifelong band booster member , helped raise funds for WCS band trips to Cherry Blossom Festivals in W ashington, DC, a regular at many of the school’s athletic events and known for her “after pr om” breakfasts.

A World War II veteran, Coonrod was born in W illsboro in 1927. He gr ew up working summers as a caddy at the Golf Course, where he earned 35 cents per round, as well as the Willsboro Dock & Coal for 25 cents an hour.

He was Past Pr esident of the W illsboro Chamber of Commer ce, a Charter Member and Past Pr esident of the W illsboro-Essex Kiwanis Club, a charter Member of both Willsboro Industries and W illsboro Development Corp., and Past Commander of the American Legion Post 405, which he has been a member of, for 63 consecutive years.

He also worked at NYCO as Maintenance Superintendent for 10 years.

After r etiring fr om NYCO they ran caravans in their motor home, traveling to every state, plus the Canadian Pr ovinces, New Zealand, Australia, and Mexico.

Later, Coonr od became W illsboro Town Justice, a position he currently serves in for the town still, setting up the Community Service program, which provided the youth an opportunity to pay back to the community for their crime, without having the stigma of a criminal record, which would follow them for the rest of their life.

“You can only fit in so much at a time,” she said.

“With the series and the books, I break it up into sections that allows families to explore dif ferent parts of their ar ea and then expand into the rest of the series.”

Chase said that the next book in the series will feature the Lake Champlain and central Adir ondacks, which she said she has alre ady been working on.

“These are not just oneweek pr ojects,” she said.

“We have been going to various ar eas since we moved here in 2003 and I get to explore places with my husband, who has all the knowledge of the ar ea because he has been here since he was 5 years old.”

WILMINGTON — T own of W ilmington and New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) of ficials reached a compromise Monday, July 18 over the state’s plans to close part of Route 86 for r oadwork this summer.

The DOT had originally planned to close both lanes of Route 86 — starting July 25 — fr om the four corners of W ilmington to the Fox Farm Road in or der to fix a culvert near the W ilderness Inn II. That would have detoured tourists away from the town’s business district for two weeks during the busiest time of the year.

Thanks to a grassroots effort fr om the business community and lobbying fr om town, county and state government of ficials, the DOT has decided instead to close both lanes fr om Monday , July 25 to Friday, July 29. At that time, one lane of Route 86 at the work site — controlled by traf fic lights — will be open until the work is completed.

DOT is r eplacing a box culvert, which is partially collapsed now, according to Wilmington Town Supervisor Randy Pr eston, who emailed officials at the Whiteface Region Business & Tourism Center with his feelings on the compromise.

“I know this is not great, but it is better than two weeks originally planned,” Preston wrote.

The final decision was an-

nounced July 18 during a conference call with Pr eston, Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas and senior DOT officials.

“The decision is workable for everybody ,” Whiteface Region Business & T ourism Center Operations Manager Michelle Burns said July 19.

This section of Route 86, which connects W ilmington to Lake Placid, is home to many of the town’s r estaurants and hostelries as well as the town beach. Only a small section of the ro ad will be closed at the culvert between July 25 and July 29; the road to the constr uction zone (northbound and southbound) would be open to “local traffic.”

On July 15, W ilmington officials wer e ur ging local business owners to contact state of ficials and ask them to postpone the r oadwork until after Labor Day, when the tourist season slows down. At the very least, they wanted to see the work zone reduced to one lane instead of being closed completely.

Burns spoke with the DOT’s Essex County r esident engineer, Mike Fayette, on July 15 voicing the business gr oup’s concerns, and she emailed business members with a plea for immediate action.

Burns was also concerned with the location of the detour as well as the timing of the road closure.

Fayette told the V alley News July 15 that the state planned on placing detour signs at the village of Lake Placid and the hamlet of Jay, diverting people to detours around W ilmington via nearby state r oads. Ther efore, motorists who wish to pass through Wilmington on their way to northbound or southbound destinations from Jay and Lake Placid, would be diverted along the Route 73/Route 9N corridor through the hamlet of Keene.

Although people would be allowed to travel to Wilmington on Route 86 and use the local Fox Farm Road/Springfield Road detour, W ilmington of ficials said detour signage in Jay and Lake Placid would deter

travelers fr om visiting Wilmington.

“To the average person, if you see a detour sign, you're going to take the detour,” Burns said.

The culvert near the Wilderness Inn II has been in bad shape for years and was damaged further during the spring flooding, accor ding to Fayette.

“It (the flooding) was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” Fayette said.

Fayette said the DOT needs to finish the work before school starts; otherwise, the r oad closur e could disrupt bus schedules.

Still, Wilmington business officials wer e hoping the squeaky wheel would get the gr ease and DOT would make a compr omise that would both fix the culvert and save the cr ucial tourist season for this small r esort village.

And that’s exactly what happened.

“I would like to thank all of the citizens that contacted our elected of ficials as this squeaky wheel is what has shortened this closure,” Preston wr ote in his email to Wilmington businesses. “I would thank Senator Betty Little, Assemblywoman Teresa Saywar d, and Essex County Boar d of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas for their help in making this happen.”

Burns said she appreciated the ef forts of r esidents and business owners who “rallied together” and contacted state of ficials, “because it was very effective.”

Preston told the V alley News July 19 that this construction project was a DOT decision and the town was never invited to be part of the discussion.

“The town was notified after they made the decision,” Pr eston said. “This was totally avoidable; that’s what infuriates me. This should have been done years ago.”

Wilmington is the home of several attractions, including High Falls Gor ge, Santa's W orkshop, Whiteface Mountain Ski Center , and the Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway.

SARANAC LAKE — A popular and nationally renowned youth volunteering program is getting ready to make a triumphant return to northern New York.

Officials with the National W orkforce Investment Boar d announced last week that AmeriCorps is r eturning to the North Country.

The AmeriCorps for the Adirondacks pr ogram is being sponsored by a grant awarded by the New York State Office of National and Community Service.

Elaine Leavitt chairs the North Country Workforce Investment Boar d’s Youth Council. She says her or ganization is teaming up with United W ay to facilitate the new AmeriCorps program.

“It is wonderful to see AmeriCorps be returned to the region,” she said in a release issued in late June. “The values and experiences that our youth will r eceive from this pr ogram are invaluable.”

The Adirondack AmeriCorps program will enlist up to 14 people to serve with service or ganizations in Franklin, Essex and Clinton counties. Leavitt says the program’s goal is to “create, support, or enhance” service ef forts that spread awareness about things like literacy, health care availability and preventative services, and economic development.

North Country Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward has been a longtime critic of Stiles. Unlike Houseal, she seemed pleased with the news.

“I was initially calling for Mr. Stiles to resign, and that didn’t happen, and calling for him not to be reappointed,” she said. “I’m happy about it. I r eally, truly think that this will be a good thing not only for the Agency but for cooperative ef forts t hat w e m ight b e a ble t o d o o ver time.”

RAY BROOK — In a surprise announcement late last week, the chairman of the stateAdirondack Park Agency Boar d of Commissioners said he would not seek reappointment.

Curt Stiles made his revelation July 15 at the conclusion of the agency’s monthly meeting.

APA spokesman Keith McKeever said the agency isn’t commenting on the announcement at this point.

Stiles said he spoke with family members and colleagues at the Park Agency before com-

dence and trust in her judgment, her decisions, and her ab ility to manage this or ganization.

This boar d, the same way – our counsel, the same way. There is not a person in this room or this building I wouldn’t say that about.”

Brian Houseal is executive dir ector of the Adirondack Council, one of the Park’s lar gest environmental organizations.

He said he was stunned by Stiles’ announcement, but not necessarily surprised.

“Curt has served well for four years, and his term is up,” Houseal said. “He has done a tremendous job while at the Agency. In particular, he moved forward with an Agency reform package and thankfully, the governor has just

ing to his decision.

The chairman told onlookers that his decision to leave is a personal choice.

“And it’s not about the fr ustrations of dayto-day, it’s not about the issues of the Park,” he said. “It’s about what I want to do with the er st of my life. That’s the challenge for me to figure out. It’s also part of who I am. I tend to allow myself to get consumed by what I do. So I know that ther e’s a time to stop. And now is that time.”

Stiles said he has the utmost r espect for his fellow commissioners and the Agency’s staff.

“You’re in excellent hands with our executive director,” he said. “I have full faith and confi-

Enjoy the summer, just for the health of it!

S

ummer is made for kids. The season is ideally suited for leisure time in the outdoors, and it provides a special time to escape from the routines of school, studies and homework. It presents youngsters with an opportunity to expand their boundaries, and test their skills. Summers are for explorations, and it is often a period of tremendous growth, both physically and mentally.

The subtle changes young adults experience, are often unseen in the familiar confines of a school setting. Yet these same growth spurts, are easy to spot after a long summer ’s rest.

Newton’s first law of physics, explained, “A body at rest tends to stay at rest, a body in motion tends to stay in motion.” This law is applicable to a wide variety of situations, but it is most appropriate when applied to children and young adults.

According to a recent Special Report on Youth, issued by The Outdoor Foundation, fewer and fewer youth are taking to the outdoors each year. In recent years, the combination of rapidly changing social

media, and technological advancements, has been responsible for keeping more kids indoors, than at any time in recent history.

The report concludes, “American childhood has rapidly moved indoors, leading to epidemic levels of childhood obesity and inactivity. The United States is now facing an unprecedented public health and conservation problem.

Reconnecting youth with the outdoors has become critical to the health of future generations and the health of our natural landscapes. Our children are desperate for the physical, mental and social benefits of a healthy, active outdoor lifestyle, and our natural landscapes need the support and protection of individuals with a strong connection to the outdoors.”

The report, based on the most comprehensive national survey of American participation in outdoor recreation, offers interesting insights into the motivations of both participants and non-participants.

A few key findings include: Total Participation — Nearly 60 percent of American youth ages 6

to 24 participate in outdoor recreation.

Gender Disparities — Males of all ages participate at a higher rate than females, and 56 percent of youth outdoor participants ages 6 to 24 are male.

Top Activities — Running, bicycling, fishing, camping and hiking are the most popular outdoor activities among youth.

Youngest Activities — Skateboarding, BMX bicycling, snowboarding, climbing and triathlon have the highest percentage of youth participants and lowest percentage of adults.

Parents, friends and family are primarily responsible for introducing youth to the outdoors. Most youth enjoy the fun, relaxation and exercise of outdoor activities. The most commonly cited barriers to youth participation are a lack of interest and a lack of time for outdoor recreation. Recreation is “easier and more fun” indoors.

Adults with children in the household participate in outdoor recreation at higher levels than adults without children in their household. Youth participation in outdoor recreation continues to experience the greatest decrease among the ages of 6-12, however, the rates for older youth showed a more positive trend. The most popular outdoor activities, as determined by participation, were also the most common gateway acStudy. Once a month covered dish after Sunday morning service. Child care available Sunday & Thursday. Handicapped accessible.

Parents that fish with their children, never have to go fishing for them. Anglers stick together! Pictured here, wearing my hat, is Jacob Ardman, from Guilderland, NY, fishing on a small Adirondack stream.

Photo by Joe Hackett tivities. These activities are easily accessible, easy to learn, and contagious. Fishing topped the list at (17%), jogging and trail running (16%), camping (16%), road and mountain biking (15%) and hiking(12%).

Statistics indicate that visits to national and state parks have fallen off by as much as 25 percent in the last decade, as kids remain indoors watching TV or playing computer games. There is no excuse for parents in the Adirondacks, to allow for such behavior, especially with the easily available access to the outdoors.

Medical and economic data indicate that children who play outdoors perform better in school.

They have higher SAT scores, exhibit fewer behavioral challenges, and experience fewer attentiondeficit disorders. Outdoor play lowers the risk of health care, reduces stress, increases attention span, promotes self reliance and self esteem, and increases one’s ability to deal with hardship and coping behaviors. Outdoor experiences have been shown to decrease attention deficit disorder, obesity, and depression among

children, and adults as well.

A good 6-hour day of hiking can burn a whopping 2600 calories in a 150 pound participant, and releases chemicals that improve mood and reduce anxiety. It can also improve appetite, and provide a sound sleep.

Mentally, hiking offers both the space and opportunity to for many to figure things out. Often, the daily routine blurs the reality of what’s happening in our lives, and we lack the necessary clarity to make good decisions.

All of the recent research presents nothing that is really new. In 1904, the Seventh Annual Report of the New York State, Forest, Fish and Game Commission determined, “The pursuits which take us afield and gives us rest and exercise combined, and increases our resources by broadening our interest in nature, are not merely a pastime, but a recreation benefiting both mind and body, and better preparing us for our duties as citizens of the State.”
