Egglefield’s celebrates 100 years

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — One of the area’s oldest businesses will be showing its appreciation to the community next weekend as it marks a major milestone.

Egglefield Bros. Ford in Elizabethtown will celebrate its 100th anniversary as a Ford dealer Aug. 1 with a community event featuring music, food, and a parade of Ford vehicles from throughout the past century.

“The only reason we’re here is because of the community,” said dealer principal Dennis Egglefield.

“It’s basically a get-together and a ‘thank you’ weekend bash for our employees and our customers.”

In 1910, Egglefield’s greatgrandfather, Wilbur B. Egglefield, established a dealership in New Russia that started with just three vehicles. The dealership moved to its current location in 1919.

“We’re one of the oldest in the country,” said Egglefield, noting how only eight other dealerships nationwide can claim to be older.

All these years later, Egglefield

Bros. has remained a familyowned and operated buisiness.

Egglefield’s son, Cory, operates the company’s second location, High Peaks Ford, on State Route 86 in Ray Brook, making Egglefield a fifth-generation business.

“We’ve worked hard to take care of our customers and support our community,” said Egglefield.

“We’ve all gone at it with the same passion.”

The celebration will gather more than 200 vehicles from every decade of Egglefield Bros. history.

Attendees will be able to view a 1914 Model T, A wide array of 60’s era sports cars, the new models now on sale, and everything in between.

Egglefield said the dealership is still looking for entries for its parade.

“Anbody with an old Ford is welcome,” he said. “They don’t have to be show cars.”

The event kicks off at 10 a.m. when the vehicles will begin making processions, 10 to 15 at a time, along Court Street. A disc jockey will be playing music well into the afternoon, and refreshments will

A

long time summer resident, Hector Richard, will become a centenarian as he turns 100 years old July 25. He was born in 1910 on a farm in Lacolle, Québec. The 1918 flu took his parents. In 1928, he came to the U.S., married in 1935, and became a citizen in 1959. He was self-employed in the carpentry business in the Albany area until he established a camp here in Willsboro in 1959. His winters are now spent in Florida. His answer to longevity is to stay positive and active.

He golfed, waterskied and wind-surfed well into his 80s and 90s. He says a good diet, a little nip of brandy and good genes helps one to reach this age.

Reminder of the hard work of the town comprehensive plan steering committee is doing: They’ve reached another level for the public to review. Interested members of the public are invited to attend a forum Saturday, July 24, at 9 a.m. at the Common-

wealth Fashions cafeteria. They are seeking the public’s input. The next Heritage program will be Friday, July 23, at 7 p.m. at the Visitor ’s Center. The program is entitled, “William H. Miner, Why All the Myths?” The public is welcome to attend.

All interested elementary age children are invited to attend the Summer Ecumenical Bible School the week of Aug. 16-20, each morning. The theme is “Galactic Blast: A Cosmic Adventure Praising God.” It will be held at the Willsboro Methodist Church.

Essex Day is coming up soon with lots of activity. Saturday, Aug. 7, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. County fairs are starting up — The Essex County Fair will be Aug. 11 to 15. I hear they are going to have several family farms on display.

Happy Birthday: Howard Mero 7/25, Mattie Russell 7/27, Danica Bridge 7/28, John Bigelow 7/29, James Barber 7/30, Barbara Brockney 7/30.

his weekend is looking pretty busy in our neighborhood. First is the weekly Farmers’ Market on Friday night. Saturday will have flowers blooming as the library holds its benefit Keeseville Garden Tour. The free summer reading program is continuing at the library Monday, July 26, from 10-11 a.m., with the theme of Squish Squash Freshwater and Wetlands discussion. For the last week, while the children are enjoying story time, parents can enjoy the wonderful paintings on display and for sale as done by local artist Judith Corilgano. The library’s summer hours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 to 7 p.m., and Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The library is closed Saturdays and Sundays. Visit on-line at www.cefls.org/keeseville.htm or call 834-9054 for more information.

Also, this Saturday, July 24, the Ironman will be running down in Lake Placid, so traffic may be heavier than usual off Exit

34 of the Northway. Proceed with caution and sheer on the hard-working athletes.

I am thrilled to find so many events going on in our community, but I find, with my son, we can find lots to do even on quiet days. We have taken to walking along the AuSable River and around the downtown area of Keeseville, taking in all the sights from the bridges and the steep stairs leading up to Pleasant Street from below near the Riverside Tavern.

After an spectacular initial walk, we have taken to carrying our cameras with us, as well as a garbage bag and gloves.

The area is not horribly overrun with trash, but the simple beauty available to us can so easily be ruined by even one scrap of garbage. My son and I have found that, while it is easy for one person to carelessly discard litter into our community, it is just as easy for us to pick it up and get rid of it.

And then the next person will just see the beauty. Enjoy it.

he sewer project in the village is much in evidence now, with tree cutting opposite the fire house and land clearing behind the library, where a major pump station will be located.

Sewage from around the village will flow by gravity to the rear of the ECHO parking lot, where it will be pumped uphill to the treatment plant. The treatment plant will be started first, followed by the collection system. It’s expected that work will start in the village streets in about a month.

Apparently, we’re having a very good year for rattlesnakes, as calls about problem snakes are on the increase. The snakes in question are timber rattlesnakes, Crotalus horridus, which are native from southern New Hampshire to the Gulf Coast. In Essex, they dwell in the Split Rock Mountain area, preferring deciduous hardwoods and rugged terrain. These are large, stocky snakes that average from 3 to 5 feet in length, and are active from April to mid-October. They feed on small mam-

mals as well as birds and frogs, and other snakes. They are well camouflaged and can be difficult to spot. They make a buzzing sound like an angry bee, not a rattle at all.

If you are hiking and hear a loud buzzing, stop, stay calm and look around. Back away slowly if you can, or if the snake is very close, stand still, don’t move, and wait for him to leave. Timber rattlers can travel up to 3 miles from their dens seeking prey. The Whallons Bay and Couchey Hill areas are where they most commonly encounter humans, although about 20 years ago a nest was found in Whallonsburg.

It’s been dry in my vegetable garden, but the sweet corn and pole beans are delighted with the hot weather. Our water well is rather limited in capacity, which means sharing the hose with Amy. She incorrectly thinks flowers have the same importance as vegetables, but with careful scheduling, all of our gardens get their fair share.

ere’s the latest in the ongoing saga of the municipal building project Westport voters narrowly rejected in June. I wrote a few weeks ago the town board, following the recommendation of the committee tasked with planning the project, intended to put the same plan back up for another vote in September.

That may no longer be the case. The committee met again July 12, when two residents put forward an alternative plan they said would allow separate structures for each entity — fire house, town shed, renovated town hall, school bus garage — for less than $2 million total.

Supervisor Dan Connell told me it’s uncertain where we go from here. The committee will meet again Tuesday, July 27, at 6 p.m. in the town hall, followed by the regular town board meeting at 7 p.m. The plan is to decide whether to go ahead with another vote on the original project. The two residents with the alternative plan

have now joined the committee, so their input will be part of the picture. The public is welcome at these meetings. Though I can’t attend them, I’ll try to keep you posted.

The second annual Westport Central School alumni picnic will be held at Lee Park Friday, July 30, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Alumni, friends and family are encouraged to bring a dish to pass in addition to chairs and pictures to share. More than two dozen alumni attended last year and many more are expected this year.

And Saturday, July 31, from 6 to 9 p.m.

Ballard Park is hosting its annual fundraising event, which provides the funds necessary to maintain the park’s splendor for all to enjoy. This year ’s theme is “Bring-Backthe-Beach Party.” Over the years, the beach bank has eroded and Ballard Park’s next major project is to stabilize the bank and rejuvenate the beach area. Please help bring it back. For information, call 9628220.

e are now well into the heart of summer — and flea season — in the Upstate NY area. This is also the time of year when many unneutered cats and dogs have their young.

Unfortunately, fleas are just as likely to make a home in the fur of a kitten or puppy as they would be in an adult animal.

For these fur babies, the complications presented by a flea infestation can be even more troublesome than for the adult animal.

Flea infestations can lead to both standard anemia and a much more dangerous form known as Haemobartonellosis, which is caused by a microorganism. In addition, fleas and tapeworms are nearly synonymous in young animals. Clearly, we want to protect our youngest dogs and cats, but what treatment is considered safe at this age? The following are a few pointers about flea control from about.com.

First, control flea infestations in the home. Wash all bedding thoroughly. Vaccum carpets on a daily basis using new vacuum cleaner bags. Insect “bombs” can be used, but with caution; the chemicals released are harmful to all animal life, and you may want to consider professional application if you pursue this route. Hire a professional to treat outdoor areas.

As for your pet herself, begin with a thorough brushing using a flea comb.

Shake the comb periodically over a jar of diluted bleach to kill any fleas. A mild, non-insecticidal pet or baby shampoo is sufficient after brushing. Advantage flea control documents safety for kittens as young as eight weeks of age, but we recommend you do not use any chemical flea control products on your young animal without your veterinarian’s supervision.

Our featured pet this week is Jax, a Jack Russell Terrier mix. Jax is a sensitive cutie who is often shy around new people, but his curiosity gets the better of him very

A

line from “The Big Lebowski” or a phrase uttered by major league pitcher, Preacher Roe; both are correct. The phrase captures the imponderable randomness of life and luck or the lack there of.

I was involved in a horrible car accident where the driver of the other car died. He came across the road at just the right time to hit us head on. If he had been traveling two tenths of a mile an hour slower maybe he would have hit the back of our car or if he were traveling a mile an hour slower or we were traveling faster, he might have missed us completely. Is this the infinite serendipity of the cosmos in play or a statistical likelihood that everyone that drives or rides in a car encounters?

Recently, Major league pitcher, Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game — no hits, no walks and no errors. Braden is only the 19th pitcher since 1880, to pitch a perfect game. Braden’s career record of 18 wins and 23 losses makes the achievement even more remarkable. Was it luck or simply random perfection that sometimes expresses itself so magnificently, albeit on rare occasions?

General George Custer of Little Big Horn fame, was fond of saying he had a destiny that could not be denied. He led charges during the Civil War that caused him to have at least 11 horses shot out from under him with only one unremarkable injury. During the French and Indian War, George Washington, later President Washington, had two horses shot from under him and on four different occasions, bullets

ore than 2,600 athletes will enter Mirror Lake Saturday, July 25 for the swim start of the 12th annual Ironman Lake Placid, and more than 3,500 volunteers will be there to support and promote their successful finish.

As spectators, we can certainly appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into training for and finishing the grueling race that combines a 2.4-mile swim and a 112-mile bike followed by a full marathon.

But as residents of the region, we should have an even greater appreciation for the volunteers that ensure the success of the largest one-day annual event held here.

The statistics have changed during the last 12 years, and I just learned more than two-thirds of the Ironman Lake Placid volunteers are from outside the region. That means most are overnight visitors — effectively using up their vacation time to support our community. That’s huge.

Why do they do it? For the team T-shirt? No, they do it for themselves; to be part of something big. Many are just glad to have the opportunity to support an event that is so important to their beloved Lake Placid and the Adirondacks. It’s an emotionally-charged, fast-paced, feel-good event, even when it rains. Some volunteers have supported the event since the beginning, making the trek to Lake Placid 11 years in a row just to “work” 4-, 8-, 12hour (and in some cases longer) shifts.

This is not a new trend. Volunteer vacations are popular. “Voluntourism” is a way for people to do something good while experiencing a destination. We’re extremely fortunate to have a product worthy of these valuable visitors’ efforts.

Who benefits? The destination — or more specifically, the residents of the region. The event generates an economic impact of about $9 million for Essex County, a combination of multiple athlete pre-race visits and the activity during the days surrounding the race.

Aside from the direct economic benefits, the event keeps Lake

passed through his clothes without injuring him. Was divine providence somehow preserving Washington for a greater fate?

By Scot Hurlburt Maybe Forest Gump was more profound than I have credited him with being.

Forest’s familiar refrain “For no particular reason” or “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get,” speaks to the capricious and unpredictable nature of life. I would speculate that a critical difference in the great men that I have mentioned and many of the rest of us is that they must have abandoned their fears to their fate.

Many of us have more regret about things we didn’t do than the things we did do; perhaps we were either too insecure or could not endure the perceived embarrassment, should we fail.

In my life I have known a few people of faith and they seem to be most at ease with what life has in store for them. I admire them for their courage and their resilience. Maybe the meaning of not being eaten by the bear today is really appreciating the gift each day is — another day to love your children, hug your life partner, enjoy your friends, appreciate nature and to do something good for someone else. Remember, all kids count.

Kids Count

Placid’s name in the limelight through major worldwide media.

The competition further promotes the healthy lifestyle we enjoy here, has positively influenced many local youth, and supports Lake Placid’s brand as a world-renowned sports tourism destination. And of course, the swim, bike and run takes place across our Adirondack landscape, highlighting the backdrop for the outdoor activities that drive the largest percentage of visitors to the region.

Events are a valuable commodity. The Lake Placid Horse Shows, Can-Am hockey tournaments, rugby, lacrosse, the Lake Placid marathon and the Lake Placid Film Forum, for example, expose a diverse demographic to the destination and increase visitation during traditionally slower periods. The “weatherproof” nature of these events makes them a powerful economic driver — No matter the meteorologic circumstances, attendees are guaranteed to be here for the planned dates.

The value of events merits their prioritization from a destination marketing perspective, and the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism/Lake Placid CVB dedicates a staff person to the cause.

As part of her responsibilities, Kathy Pfohl, director of community relations and events, oversees the entire Ironman Volunteer — no small feat. Kathy is responsible for a tiered management system, with more than 80 volunteer captains who direct their respective “teams” of volunteers.

In addition to our visiting volunteers, the region enjoys a tremendous resident volunteer base for a long list of events, committees, organizations, and more. This, along with a range of accommodations and venues makes us well-positioned to achieve a goal as a destination; to host a perfect blend of events, leisure travelers, sports tourism, meetings and conventions — increasingly scheduled outside traditional travel seasons — in order to become a true year-round destination.

In the immediate future, though, we hope that those not volunteering will come watch Ironman. The start is spectacular, and the finish line is inspirational. Cheer on the athletes who have worked so hard, and don’t forget to thank the volunteers for making it all possible!

Local Ironwoman runs for a cause

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — It’s been almost eight years since Sandra Izzo competed in the Lake Placid Ironman triathlon.

Still, this Lake Placid resident had a special reason to sign up for this year ’s event.

This time, Izzo won’t be competing for herself. She’ll also be raising funds for a cause close to her heart through the Janus Charity Challenge.

The program, sponsored by the Janus investment management firm, allows athletes to choose a nonprofit to benefit from donations. Janus also makes additional contributions to the beneficiaries of the top fundraisers for each of the fulldistance U.S. Ironman races.

“Through their generosity and commitment, Janus Charity Challenge athletes are making the most of a great fundraising opportunity,” said Casey Cortese, assistant vice president of Janus Corporate Sponsorships. “These triathletes are taking their race to a higher level by providing much-needed support for nonprofit organizations throughout the country.”

For her charity, Izzo chose Rachel’s Vineyard, an afterabortion healing program.

The organization offers healing retreats to anyone struggling with the emotional and spiritual pain of abortion. Operating nationally since 1994, the program has helped more than 100,000 people in its small group settings.

Izzo has been a volunteer for Rachel’s Vineyard since 2006 when the program was first offered at Camp Guggenheim near Saranac Lake. The Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg,

which includes much of the North Country, holds Rachel’s Vineyard retreats there twice annually.

Izzo said there is a continually growing need for the help Rachel’s Vineyard can offer.

“Abortion is a silent wound which women carry secretly, sometimes for years, and this pain can affect every aspect of their life,” said Izzo, noting how she’s seen first-hand the pain people bear. “Those hurting need to know they are not alone and that confidential help is available.”

Izzo said the idea of raising money for Rachel’s Vineyard was her main motivation for competing in the Ironman this year.

“I don’t think I would have done it if I didn’t do it for this,” she said.

That motivation will be a big factor for Izzo as she competes Sunday, July 25. Though she completed the 2.4 mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2-mile run four times before, the last try came in 2002.

Still, the 50-year old mother has at least 20 years of racing experience and is optimistic she can go the distance in Lake Placid.

“If I just finish, I will be ecstatic for Rachel’s Vineyard,” she said. “Any time I’ll be very happy with.”

To make a contribution to fundraising efforts for Izzo or any of the other 250 athletes participating in the Janus Charity Challenge, visit www.januscharitychallenge.com and click “How to Donate.” Donations must be made by Saturday, July 24, at 2 p.m. to be eligible for Janus contributions.

Donations can also be made to Rachel’s Vineyard at any time by calling Izzo at 523-2410 or sending a check payable to Rachel’s Vineyard to 15 Old Military Road, Lake Placid, N.Y., 12946. All donations are tax deductible.

The 12th annual Ironman USA will be held in Lake Placid this Sunday and spectators can track Izzo’s progress live on race day by visiting www.ironmanlive.com.

City proposal met with skepticism

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — A proposal to charter Saranac Lake as a city is going to need a significant makeover before it has the support to become reality.

Officials from the village and towns that comprise Saranac Lake met at the Harrietstown town hall July 14 to review a feasibility study commissioned by the Saranac Lake Area Government Restructuring Committee.

Their response was that making Saranac Lake a city could lead to too much lost revenue for the three towns and two counties in which it’s located.

The joint committee, comprised of representatives from the village and the towns of Harrietstown, North Elba and St. Armand, have been meeting with the New Paltz-based Fairweather Consulting firm for the past 12 months to find ways to reduce overlapping layers of government in the area and reduce costs to taxpayers.

Fairweather Consulting’s Tim Weidemann presented an overview of the study, which examined the three most feasible options for restructuring. Village dissolution and the creation of a coterminous town-village were considered, but ultimately rejected because they were either too complicated to implement or created too much of a tax burden for residents outside the village.

In contrast, creation of a city was found to be a relatively simple solution that would amount to significant long-term savings for taxpayers in the village while having a minimal negative impact on the towns.

Still, many representatives from the towns felt the impact on their tax base was underestimated in the study, and said many questions are still left unanswered about the fiscal effects of chartering a city.

Creation of a city would remove the three towns’ jurisdiction from Saranac Lake, requiring residents to pay property taxes only to the city government. Weidemann said the city would provide the same services as the village plus a few additional ones, leading to a slight savings to taxpayers within its borders.

But chartering Saranac Lake as a city would remove some of the towns’ most highly valued property, leaving a significant gap for the rest of the town’s residents to fill.

According to North Elba town supervisor Roby Politi, his town would lose roughly $90 million in assessed value, the equivalent of $175,000 in annual property tax revenue.

Both Politi and St. Armand supervisor Joyce Morency expressed concern over the fact that, as a city, Saranac Lake could potentially preempt its sales tax and occupancy tax revenues from the county.

“Some 700 rooms in North Elba would be lost in terms of bed tax,” said Politi.

There are so many “Men” who take fatherhood lightly They either run away before their child is born, Sometimes shortly thereafter, Sometimes when a toddler, sometimes grad school, Sometimes College.

At any point a “child” is hurt, Their life deeply affected, Their Father left when they became an inconvenience, A nuisance, a monetary drain, just to much for “the Man.” Thanks Dad, for being a real true Dad, From my birth to your death & beyond A man of integrity, high moral value & commitment, and thank you to all Dads who take the responsibility of human life as seriously as they should.

A better world depends upon it.

“New York’s cities have the option to preempt sales tax,” said Weidemann. “This study assumes that this city will not.”

“We’ve been down this road before,” Politi added. “If the leaders of my community thought this was doable, don’t you think Lake Placid would quickly become a city?”

Saranac Lake village trustee Jeff Branch, who was the only village official present at the meeting, urged town leaders not to dismiss the idea of a city.

“What do you say to the people in your town who have a 69 percent increase in their taxes?” Branch asked Politi, referring to the study’s estimated fiscal impact of village dissolution.

“The things we’ve brought up tonight are the same things we’ve been bringing up all along,” said Harrietstown councilman Ron Keough. “Out of all the options, it looks like the city is the best option, but how we make it fair for everybody is what we need to work on.”

North Elba councilman Derek Doty suggested a possible compromise involving revenue sharing. Other town leaders indicated such a deal may be necessary to gain their support for a city charter.

Quick Facts: • The last time a city was chartered in New York State was 1940.

• Establishing a city requires the approval

of the State Legislature. Historically, the legislature has not approved the establishment of a city without the support of its neighboring local governments.

• If Saranac Lake were to become a city, it would be the third-least populous city in the state with a population of 5,041.

• Only three of New York’s 61 cities currently have a population below 6,000. The city of Sherill, with a population of 3,147, is the least populous and the only city where residents also pay town taxes.

• Only two other cities in New York State reside in two counties: Geneva and New York City. Both preempt their counties’ sales tax.

Vélo Québec, a Canadian-based nonprofit cycling organization, will bring their popular cycling adventure “Le Grand Tour” to the area Aug. 7-13, as part of a week-long traveling vacation package.

journey meant to trace the steps of the region’s earliest explorers and settlers.

“Our decision to bring the Grand Tour to New York State was motivated by our ongoing desire to offer a unique bicycle tourism experience in new regions and particularly along different routes,” explained Joëlle Sévigny, executive director of Vélo Québec Événements et Voyages. “Following in the footsteps of Champlain, this edition of the Grand Tour will be both rich in history and an opportunity to showcase all that bicycle tourism has to offer in the Quebec–New York corridor.”

In preparation for the event, tourism partners in Warren, Washington, Essex and Clinton counties are organizing accommodations and entertainment in each of cyclists’ destinations to help provide a memorable experience.

Ticonderoga is marked as the second “cyclist village” on the journey where tour participants will be making two overnight stays and will be encouraged to make optional scenic detours through some of the surrounding towns and villages.

“We want to help them see our beautiful area and provide the hospitality that will make them feel welcome,” said Barb Brassard, executive director of the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce.

The tour route sends cyclists through Westport and Willsboro and past AuSable

Chasm on their way north toward Clinton Community College for another overnight stay.

“This is a huge event for the North Country,” stated Garry Douglas, president and chief executive officer of the PlattsburghNorth Country Chamber of Commerce. “It means 2,000 visitors coming to experience our region, and drawing wide attention to Lake Champlain as a biking destination.”

One of the greatest advantages of “Le Grand Tour” may be the impact it is likely to have on the region, both economically and promotionally. Tour organizers estimate riders spend more than $300,000 in the regions they travel through during the tour. The same study showed 83 percent of participants intend to return to the regions they explored during their visit.

Kim Rielly, director of communications for the Lake Placid/Essex County Visitor ’s Bureau, agreed there will be both a shortand long-term impact.

“Of course, while they are in the area, participants will have the opportunity to sample our attractions, historic sites, restaurants and retail shops,” she said, “and although a large number of them are camping, the group’s support staff and some of the cyclists have booked every room in town.”

In addition, said Rielly, the cyclists will get a chance to experience first-hand the variety of attractions this region offers and may get a better awareness of the area’s close proximity to Montréal and the rest of Québec, encouraging them to return for future visits.

Adirondack Carousel to hold community celebration SARANAC LAKE — A special event will be held Saturday, July 24 to thank the local community for their support and celebrate the progress being made to bring an Adirondack-themed carousel to Saranac Lake. The family-oriented celebration will take place at the William Morris Park in downtown Saranac Lake from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine.

The celebration features free children’s activities, crafts, music, clowns, prizes and giveaways as well as a parade of selected hand-carved Adirondack Carousel figures that will be available for photographs. A variety of food and a special coupon booklet featuring discounts at 20 local merchants will also be offered.

Carousel volunteers will be on hand to answer questions about the proposed renovations to the Park, including the timber framed building that will house the carousel and provide meeting space for educational and community events, and the new playground equipment designed to replace the older equipment.

With the community’s support, organizers hope to break ground this year, begin construction in the fall, and have the carousel and playground equipment in place by next summer. For more information about the Adirondack Carousel, visit www.adirondackcarousel.org.

Historical presentation highlights vigilantes in the Adirondacks WILMINGTON — The Wilmington Historical Society invites you to their program "Have You Seen That Vigilante Man?" with historian and author Amy Godine to be held Friday, July 30, at 7 p.m. at the Wilmington Community Center on Springfield Road.

Godine, a frequent contributor to Adirondack Life magazine, explains how the darker side of American mob justice was not confined to the Deep South or the Far West.

Adirondack history is ablaze with flashes of “frontier justice,” from farmers giving chase to horse thieves to “townie” raids on striking immigrant miners to the anti-Catholic rallies of the Ku Klux Klan. Godine’s anecdotal history of Adirondack vigilantism plumbs a regional legacy with deep, enduring roots, and considers what about the North Country made it fertile and forgiving ground for outlaw activity.

The “Have You Seen That Vigilante Man?” program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. For further information, contact Karen Peters at 5241023 or Merri Peck at 946- 7627.

Second annual Streetfest offers something for everyone

By John Gereau johng@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The community of Ticonderoga will be host to the second annual Streetfest Saturday, July 31, bringing a mix of arts and craft vendors, food kiosks and other unique exhibitors to Main Street.

The event, which is quickly evolving into one of the region’s premiere family-friendly arts and craft fairs, drew more than 2,000 people during its inaugural year.

“Downtown Ticonderoga will become a festive pedestrian mall with food, live entertainment, interesting things to see, and opportunities to purchase unique crafts and gifts,” said organizer Sue Rathbun, who chairs the Ticonderoga Montcalm Partnership, sponsor of Streetfest.

To facilitate Streetfest, Montcalm Street — the main thoroughfare in Ticonderoga — will be shut down from Lake George Avenue at Sun-

shine Laundry to Champlain Avenue at Glens Falls National Bank.

The street will close at 8 a.m. for set-up, with the event kicking off at 10 a.m. Fort Ticonderoga’s award-winning Fife and Drum Corps will open the event with a performance down the center of the street, followed by other musical groups who will provide live entertainment throughout the day.

Main Street will be filled with arts and craft vendors, specialty food kiosks, sidewalk sales, a farmers market, and a display of antique cars, boats and other exhibitors.

There will be plenty for kids to do as well, with hands-on arts demonstrations and Penelope the Clown offering face painting and balloon art throughout the day.

Participating vendors will range from artisans specializing in wood crafts, toys, jewelry, glass and rustic furniture to food vendors offering tasty treats like snow-cones, deep-

fried Oreos, fried dough and other specialties.

In addition, downtown businesses will join the fray with kiosks and specials, creating a downtown atmosphere not unlike Burlington’s popular Church Street.

“Our first Streetfest last year was a great success,” Rathbun said, noting planning for this year ’s event began even earlier. “We’re determined that this year will be bigger and better. We look forward to welcoming people from the whole area of northern New York, as well as our friends from across Lake Champlain in Vermont.”

The event will close at 4 p.m. with the street reopening to vehicles at 5 p.m. A list of participating crafters, car and boat dealers and the location of each will be available to visitors as they enter either end of Streetfest.

Since the event is weatherdependent, a rain date has been scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 1.

Moose dies in Dannemora

Moose, such as this one photographed in a garden in downtown Lake Placid last year, have become a common sight in the Adirondacks in recent years. They have been known to frequent residential areas, as the photograph confirms.

L

ast week, residents of Dannemora were excited to learn of a large moose feeding from a bird feeder in the side yard of a local residence on the General Leroy Manor Road.

In the heat of the day, as temperatures topped the 90degree mark, a large crowd of on-lookers gathered along the highway while attempting to get a glimpse of the massive animal.

The numerous cars parked along the roadside soon drew the attention of the state police, who dispersed the crowd of spectators.

The moose apparently appeared to be in distress and when it later collapsed, troopers called the Department of Environmental Conservation.

A state DEC wildlife biologist responding to the scene found a yearling moose that was believed to have died from heat stroke.

Upon examination, the biologist reported the young, bull moose had an internal body cavity temperature of 107 degrees. It was believed to have died of heat stroke, which typically sets in when body temperatures reach 104 degrees.

Moose are a circumpolar, boreal species. They are typically found in the cooler climates of boreal forest areas across the Northern Hemisphere.

While they thrive in such cold weather environments, moose are easily stressed by overheating, and by other factors such as predators, or the prying eyes of spectators.

They don’t do well in situations where there is a combination of high heat and humidity. In such conditions, they prefer spending time in water.

However, it wasn’t heat that did him last week. The necropsy performed by DEC revealed the true cause of death was brain worm, a neurological disease commonly transmitted by white-tailed deer.

By DEC estimates, there are currently between 500 to 600 moose in the state. Brainworm is a major concern, according to DEC wildlife biologist Ed Reed, who explained, “Brainworm is still a problem. That’s probably why the moose in Dannemora was still wandering around in the heat. We’ve been seeing problems with brain worm primarily in areas with high deer densities such as Rensselaer and Washington counties, where the deer density is greater than 8-10 animals per square mile. ” “Deer have brain worm but it doesn’t affect them as it does moose. Deer pass the nematode in their feces, where it is picked up by snails, which act as a host”, Reed revealed, “And they [snails] deposit it on the leaves and grass.”

Moose, which are primarily browsing animals that eat the leaves, twigs, and buds of hardwood and softwood trees.

It is easy to see how the animals can contract brain worm, which frequently causes cerebrospinal nematodiasis, a disease of the nervous system, that often, results in death. They can consume nearly 40-60 pounds of browse every day.

Fortunately for moose, the deer density in the Adirondacks ranks among the lowest in the entire state. It is one of the major factors responsible for their return and ultimate survival. In fact, the moose that died in Dannemora may not have been a local resident, since the animals are known to travel great distances.

The animal’s tendency to range far and wide has created additional problems. Due to their propensity to travel,

Valley News - 25 a moose could be in Washington County one week and in Clinton County by the next. This ranginess is also responsible for the ever growing danger of vehicle/moose collisions.

This is some good news for people that happen to experience a close encounter with a moose while driving, as the New York State Legislature has amended section 110915 of the Environmental Conservation Law concerning the disposition of moose carcasses resulting from vehicle collisions.

The revised amendment now allows people who accidentally kill a moose and damage their motor vehicle, to obtain a permit that allow them to keep the carcass.

While the measure offers little consolation for wrecking their car, a large quantity of moose steaks and burgers can certainly serve supplement the family budget while the car is undergoing repair.
