Most Homeowners and Business insurance policies DO NOT cover damage to property caused by either flood or earthquake.

Why? Not all property owners have the same exposure to loss from flood and earthquake.

Insurance coverage for these two perils are usually made available as an option to be purchased by those property owners who due to the location of their property have a greater exposure to loss and a greater need for this coverage.

It is always recommended that you know what type of loss or damage is covered by your insurance policies, so there are no surprises after a loss occurs.

Take the time to review your policy and contact your agent with any questions about your coverage.

We can assist you in explaining what types of damage are and aren’t covered by insurance policies, and assist you in choosing the level of coverage that makes the most sense for you. Talk with the friendly and knowledgeable insurance agents at…

t is very exciting to see the many improvements on some of the houses around town. The old Marshall house, now the Blanchard house on Mountain View Drive, now has an all new roof and siding, and it looks wonderful. Another house on Mountain View that has taken on a new look is the home of Joan Strong, which, with a new roof, siding and a new porch, looks great. It would seem that a good new house paint color could be a bright blue. There is one on Mountain View Drive and a porch on a house on Middle Road, and both really stand out. Really nice to see people making these kinds of improvements to their homes.

Summer is moving along quickly, but there are still some great events coming up. The library’s annual Old Time Folk Craft Fair, with more than 50 vendors, is a much enjoyed event Saturday, July 31. The Adirondack Farmers Market Co-op will be celebrating their 20th anniversary Thursday, Aug. 5, here at their site in Willsboro. They are having a big cake, give

away items and would like people to come out and celebrate with them. The Willsboro United Methodist Church will be having a chicken and biscuit public supper Wednesday, Aug. 4, starting at 4:30 p.m. The Ecumenical Vacation Bible School will be held the week of Aug. 15-20.

With the art exhibits at the library and the Essex Theatre productions, events are very busy in this little community. Hope you will get out and cheer on the 1,700 Canadian bike riders that will be going through our town Tuesday, Aug. 10, during noon time. Help to make them feel welcome by giving them space on the road and cheering them on their journey.

Our sympathy is extended to the family of Mertie Strong, who passed away this past week.

She was the Valley News reporter for many years and a long time resident of the Reber community.

he Westport Heritage Festival’s annual celebration of community has turned into a real highlight of each summer. This year’s event takes place Saturday, July 31, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the library lawn. Arranged around the theme “Living Local Before Local Was Cool,” it offers “a snapshot in time from the 1950s, when people lived, worked, shopped, worshipped, and recreated locally.”

There will be lots of fun things to see and do, especially for children, who can enjoy an array of games and activities from days gone by. Cynthia Ford-Johnston of Dacy Meadow Farm, who with her husband, Dave, is helping the chamber of commerce organize the event, told me they plan to visit the Youth Commission Summer Program at WCS a couple of days ahead of time “to try out some of the 50s games on the kids. We hope that they return with their parents to demonstrate what they’ve learned.”

Dave and Cynthia have also used their imaginations in drawing on local vendors to feed those attending the festival. The idea is

to offer a community picnic “car-hop” style on the library lawn —with picnic baskets and blankets provided. You’ll be brought an order form to fill out, and the basket will be assembled and delivered to you as you relax in comfort. As of this writing, sandwich options include egg salad, vegetarian, BBQ beef, and even Michigans.

Bread will come from Dogwood Bread Company in Wadhams (where extended summer hours mean you can pick up baked goods every day), produce from Adam Hainer’s Juniper Hill farm (available at Everybody’s and Dogwood), and Michigans from Kevin Russell (who’ll have his super-deduper hot-dog cart on hand). The BBQ beef will come from Dacy Meadow, and the dessert portion of the baskets will be from Me and My Girls and the Inn. The money raised from the festival goes to support the Heritage House, which will be showing Roy Rogers, Leave It to Beaver episodes, and Looney Tunes cartoons, in case your nostalgia really kicks in. Ah bedeh, ahbedeh, that’s all, folks.

A

n astute reader gently took me to task for using the terms village and hamlet interchangeably when referring to downtown Essex. Technically, in New York State, a village is a governmental entity with a mayor and board of trustees, like Keeseville or Lake Placid. The term hamlet refers to a smaller community within a town, like Whallonsburg or Wadhams. The Adirondack Park Agency also gets into the act with their own definition of hamlet. In truth, the town of Essex has no official villages within its bounds. I just like the word “village” better than the word “hamlet.” All of this and much more about the administrative units of New York is explained on Wikipedia.

I learned there’s a second rattlesnake in this area, the Massasauga rattler, Sistrurus catenatus. This is a smaller viper than the timber rattlesnake, only two feet long and more shy and retiring. It inhabits swamps and grasslands, and feeds on small mammals, frogs and other snakes. Catenatus is Latin for chained, which refers to its skin patterns.

On Wednesday, Aug. 4, there will be a fundraiser for ReNew at the shop. It goes from

6 to 10 p.m. and will feature refreshments and bargains.

Contractors on the sewer project are putting in the road to the site of the treatment plant and installing drain lines. Later this week, they plan to excavate for the treatment tank, the base of which will be 17 feet below the ground.

On Aug. 10, a bicycle tour will pass through Essex. There will be about 1,800 cyclists riding from Lake George to Montréal. Their route takes them along Route 22 to Whallonsburg, where they’ll turn up Whallons Bay Road, then down to Lakeshore Road and into the hamlet. They will be served lunch at the fire house, and then make their way to Plattsburgh for the night.

A wise and perceptive reader noted I sometimes refer to Amy and Ginny without identifying them, which may lead some to think I’m a two-timer or cad. Lest the rumor mill start putting out bad information, let me state that Amy is in fact my wife of 30 years, the renowned horticulturist Amy Ivy. Ginny is our dog, a white border collie mix who usually accompanies me on my travels.

his week we have the Summer Festival and Bazaar on the corner of the Methodist Church, Friday and Saturday. Last year’s was a lot of fun, so this year should be as good, if not better.

The Farmers’ Market will be held again this Friday, from 4 to 7 p.m. and the library has three more weeks to the free Mondays summer Make a Splash Read program. This Monday, Aug. 2, from 10 to 11 a.m., it is High Sea Adventure treasure Hunt with games and prizes.

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/keeseville.htm or call 834-9054 for more information.

August will also herald the 175th anniversary of the Immaculate Conception Church. There are many preparations for this event. Tickets for the dinner are still available on a very limited basis, by calling the rectory at 834-4612. As the

event approaches, many fix ups and changes are ongoing, such as repainted fencing, a new gorgeous sign, a recleaned and painted statue, as well as many more fixes. A huge thank you to all who are sacrificing their time and talents to making a historic piece of our community shine on after all this time.

Finally, heartfelt condolences to Josh and Laura of Barkeater Barbeque who lost their restaurant to a fire this past weekend. It was an incredibly wonderful experience every time we have eaten there. I am so sorry. If any one has news of what can be done to help, please let me know so I can post it here. While not from Keeseville, Roy Hurd who also lost everything to a tragic fire this past week has been a wonderful presence in our community for some many years. Again, as I hear of any news of needs, I will certainly pass them on here in this column.

This is always something that is so hard to bounce back from, but teaming up as a community and showing compassion and support can make a world of difference.

lthough we at the NCSPCA advocate strongly that pet owners should spay or neuter their pets to avoid unwanted litters, we also feel it is important to emphasize at what age a young animal can safely leave his mother for adoption. Too often we find litters of kittens at our doorstep in a box without their mother, only days or a few weeks old, too young to be on their own. If you do have a litter of kittens or puppies, when is the best time to seek a new home or to contact the NCSPCA about adoption?

Kittens are generally litter trained and fully on solid food between 6 and 8 weeks of age. Although Lucy it is possible to raise a kitten without his mother at this age, the general consensus is that he really isn’t ready to find a new home until 12 weeks of age. At that time, his immune system is more fully developed, and his other body functions become more independent, readying him for the world without mom. For puppies, six weeks is ordinarily the age at which they are playing vigorously with their littermates, seeking human attention, and exploring. Although they can be adopted out at this age, an additional 10-14 days is ideal to help them fully develop strong relationships with humans and avoid potential behavior issues around other dogs. Your 7-8 week old puppy is at an ideal stage to find his “forever” home. It is always a good idea to check with your veterinarian for the best specific age for your dog’s breed.

Our featured pet this week is Lucy, a Bluetick Coonhound/mix with a winsome face of brown, black, and white and black circles around her eyes. Lucy is a sweetheart of a dog who would love to spend time in a home where there are plenty of opportunities for both exercise and affection. She enjoys going outside for walks and happily prances down the road. She is a well-mannered young lady who is calm and polite with all her new buddies at the shelter. With her easygoing personality, Lucy will make a stellar pet, and with that adorable face and beautiful black and white coat, what are you waiting for?

More on fungus among us

A

few weeks, I wrote about mushrooms in the lawn. The lawn is not the only portion of our landscape where fungi occur. Landscape mulches are often home to several different types of fungi and for the most part, they are harmless.

Landscape mulches are used to protect soil, conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and limit weed growth, as well as beautify and unify landscape plantings.

Most mulches are mixtures of shredded wood and bark residues from lumber and paper mills, arboricultural and land-clearing operations, and wooden pallet disposal or recycling facilities.

Like other organic matter, wood and bark decompose over time. The primary organisms involved with their decomposition are bacteria and fungi. Bacteria are microscopic organisms that are not visible in the mulch.

Fungi also may be microscopic, but many develop visible reproductive structures.

The fungi involved in the decomposition of landscape mulches are natural components of the environment. The most frequent types of fungi found in wood mulches include various mushrooms, slime molds, bird’s nest fungus, and artillery fungus.

These fungi are not harmful to landscape plants and no known health hazards are associated with them unless they are eaten.

They can be found April through October, usually following rainy weather.

Bird’s nest fungus has a fruiting structure that looks like a miniature bird’s nest with tiny eggs. The eggs are actually the fungi’s

spores. This fungus is harmless and does not have to be removed.

Another harmless mulch fungus is the slime mold.

These are the fungi that appear during damp conditions that look like the neighbor ’s dog brought up last night’s dinner onto your mulch. While this fungus may look disgusting, it feeds off of bacteria in the mulch and is harmless.

The one fungus you will want to remove is artillery fungus. These resemble tiny cups with one black egg. The “egg” is the spores.

Eventually, the fungus shoots this sticky spore “egg” into the air. If the spore mass lands on siding or a car, the sticky black mass is almost impossible to remove. If you happen to remove it, it leaves a brown mark.

If you are having issues with artillery fungus, it is best to replace the wood mulch with an inorganic mulch, such a rubber or stone. Otherwise, you will have to keep an eye out for the fruiting, or sporing, structures and try to remove them prior to them releasing their spores.

Don’t blame the victim of bullying

I

n June of this year I reported on the suicide of 15 year old Phoebe Prince after being bullied by a group of high school girls that have come to be known as the “mean girls.” Now, Massachusetts District Attorney Elizabeth Scheibel has levied charges against the girls and two boys from the school.

Recently, stories have emerged that Phoebe was emotionally unstable prior to her suicide, the suggestion being that she may have taken her life regardless of the bullying. Ostensibly, the disclosure invokes the time honored mechanism of assassinating the victims’ character and legitimacy. If it is found to be true that she was emotionally unstable or had emotional struggles then Phoebe will be very similar to many people who find adolescence a difficult period.

If Phoebe was emotionally fragile, it makes the bullying that was perpetrated against her even worse. Nationally, the verdict is still out on bullying.

Many believe that bullying is an experience that everyone goes through, not a big deal.

Some insist that being bullied makes you stronger or tougher. Others say, “boys will be boys.” Or “it’s just teenagers being teenagers, everyone goes through it.” I do not agree with any of these sentiments.

Bullying is not a normal part of growing up and if it is, it shouldn’t be. Phoebe is gone forever; her family must carry that heavy weight every day, a pain that will never end.

The connection between bullying and students harming themselves or others seems real.

These events are so common that the word “bullycide” has entered the lexicon. The internet is littered with memorials, stories and foun-

dations dedicated to the memories of young people that have ended their own lives as a result of being bullied. Recent antibullying legislation signed by MassaBy Scot Hurlburt chusetts Governor Deval Patrick bears the names of two young students that took their own lives after being bullied.

While I am not a bullying expert, I have conducted an overview of the literature around bullying. Much of the research is not very encouraging. Some researchers believe that many bullying programs rely on the faulty belief that bystanders or witnesses will report bullying when they see it. If this were true, we wouldn’t need a bullying program because bystanders would already be reporting bullying events, and they clearly are not.

While Phoebe’s school could not make the “mean girls” decent, kind or tolerant, they might have been able to simply stop the bullying. There have always been elements in every society and setting that had to be guarded against or stopped. If you are a bully our responsibility is to help you to change, if possible.

We also have a responsibility to protect your victims by stopping you. The cost of implementing comprehensive bullying programs will be high; the cost of doing little or nothing is unthinkable. Remember, all kids count.

Westport book sale a success To the editor: A multitude of books found new homes last weekend at the gigantic Westport Library Book Sale. We extend heartfelt appreciation to our donors, buyers, and the many volunteers who made it happen. For the rest of July, during library hours (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 106 and Saturday 9-1) remainders are available at a deep discount.

Thank you!

Shirley Bullard Secretary Westport Library Association

Grateful for community support To the editor: The Wells Memorial Library’s annual Books, Antiques, Food & Things sale is our largest source of operating funds. The sale was July 16-18 this year. Forty-eight people worked setting up the tents, putting out the sale items, manning cash stations, packing up after the sale, taking down the tents, and so on. A large number of volunteers also supplied the baked goods sold.

During the year we received innumerable donations of items for the sale, which a Friday group of volunteers sorted, priced and packed each Friday. Despite fickle weather, vast number of people came to browse and buy. We are greatful to receive such community support, without which we would struggle to survive. Thanks to all.

Carving up the cash cow A ll the talk recently of chartering Saranac Lake as a city has got me thinking about what a city is meant to be and if such a thing can not only exist here in the Adirondacks, but actually have a constructive impact.

Much of the controversy revolves around the financial implications: If Saranac Lake becomes a city, the towns of Harrietstown, North Elba, and St. Armand will no longer collect property tax there as they currently do. Also, it leaves the door open for at least some of the sales tax collected in Saranac Lake to be kept within that community.

In a recent meeting of the Saranac Lake Government Restructuring Committee, North Elba supervisor Roby Politi acknowledged his town relies on the revenue generated by property taxes in Saranac Lake, but does little, if anything, to provide services there.

The towns (and counties) in which Saranac Lake is situated clearly rely on Saranac Lake as a so-called profit center, a “cash cow” they have had to share for more than a century.

It just so happens, when the lines were drawn for these counties and towns in the early 1800s, nobody anticipated a bustling village to spring up right on the border.

One can only imagine what sort of politicking went on when the village incorporated in 1892.

Taken by itself, Saranac Lake would represent the second largest population center in either Franklin or Essex counties. Asking either county to give up the sales tax revenue they receieve from Saranac Lake would be like asking a tiger to give up red meat. A similar challenge exists in getting the towns to give up their property tax revenue.

To residents of the village, however, this sounds only fair. Why should village residents have to pay town taxes and get virtu-

ally nothing in return?

Why should the sales tax generated there be split between the two counties?

To these I offer the following questions in response:

Community College, which is jointly funded by Essex and Franklin counties?

What would Saranac Lake be without the “subsidized” communities surrounding it?

Would the added burden to residents and businesses in Ray Brook, Lake Clear, or Bloomingdale really amount to a net gain for the newly founded city, let alone the area as a whole?

In a region with few opportunities for business and industry to grow and expand, those communities that benefit from something resembling urbanization have a responsibility to the region as a whole, especially because it is this region of the Adirondacks that serves as the main resource and attraction for those communities.

Mock elections planned for voter education

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Officials at the Essex County Board of Elections are looking to give voters in the region some hands-on experience with new voting machines.

Election commissioners have planned two voter outreach programs in Essex County where voters can practice using the new OptiScan voting machines, which were mandated to replace lever-style machines used here for the past 50 years or more.

“There’s a misconception among voters that they’re going to be voting electronically,” said Republican election commissioner Derinda Sherman.

“This is not a touch screen system. People are filling out their own ballots,” said Democratic election commissioner Robert Pell-duChame. “People should not fear this system.”

Still, there’s some concern voters, especially the elderly, who may be intimidated by the change. That’s why the Board of Elections is putting the machines in service early, to get voters more familiar with them.

A few of the machines will be in operation in Floral Hall at the Essex County Fair, Aug. 11-15. A similar program is scheduled for the Newcomb Senior Picnic in late August.

A third mock election is being organized at the Board of Elections office in Elizabethtown, but a date has yet to be set.

As Sherman explained, voters will fill out a paper ballot, not unlike absentee ballots used in past elections. They will then feed their ballot into the scanner, which “reads” their votes and tabulates them.

“They will simply fill out an oval next to their candidate choice,” Sherman said.

If a voter makes stray marks or marks the name of too many candidates for the same position, the machine will indicate the error and ask if the voter wishes to redo their ballot.

In that case, the old ballot becomes a “spoiled” ballot and is set aside — kept, but not counted. The voter is issued a new ballot to mark and feed into the scanner.

“Every voter has up to three chances,” said Sherman.

“They will be issued up to three ballots.”

Instructions for voters will be printed on every ballot, and posters will be hung at every polling site to illustrate the new voting process.

“It will not matter which way they put the ballot in,” said Sherman, “it will scan it.”

All the cast ballots are collected in a locked box within the machines and can be counted by hand if needed.

The machines require electricity to run and are equipped

Staff at the Essex County Board of Elections demonstrate the use of the new OptiScan voting machines, which will be in use for the first time in Essex County during this year’s upcoming elections. Two voter outreach programs have been scheduled to allow voters to practice using the machines.

with backup batteries in the case of a power failure. If the machines lose power or otherwise fail to operate, the paper ballots will be collected in a secure emergency ballot box within the machine and counted later.

“With the lever machines, if something happened with the election, we weren’t always able to recreate it,” said Sherman. “With these, we have several ways we can recreate the election.”

Pell-duChame said voters should feel very secure know-

ing poll inspectors have all been fully trained with the new machines.

For people with disabilities who are unable to fill in their own ballot, there will be electronic ballot marking devices available to allow for accessibility and privacy. The devices have a variety of interfaces that will help the blind, deaf, or motor-impaired print a ballot that represents their choices.

For more information, voters can contact the Essex County Board of Elections by calling 873-3474.

WILLSBORO — Patricia Reynolds has enjoyed the relative seclusion and amazing lake views of her Willsboro Point home and art studio for more than 40 years.

On Sunday, Aug. 8, she will be opening her studio to the public yet again for a look back at her prolific career as an award-winning artist and many of the stunning works she’s produced.

A native of Westchester County, Reynolds moved to the North Country in 1953 and attended the State University of New York at Plattsburgh for a year before settling with her husband, Carlyle, in his hometown of Willsboro.

“I moved and came here because I love the country,” Reynolds said, “I just felt a soul connection with it.”

“It has everything to do with my inspiration,” she added. “It’s up to me to take it from there; to take the reality and deepen the mystery.”

Largely self-taught, Reynolds developed a love of painting during her teenage years and continued to develop her skills. She exhibited several paintings at the Essex County Fair during the 1960’s, winning Best in Show in 1968. Her career as a professional artist then took off from there.

“I improved, and there were certain people of influence that helped me,” she said.

“They respected my work and wanted to help me. I owe it all to a handful of patrons.”

She has produced hundreds of works since then in a variety of media — watercolors, oils, acrylics, and even some collages. Her art has been featured in numerous exhibitions throughout the U.S. and abroad, winning some very prestigious awards along the way.

“If I had lived in another location, I might have gotten further ahead, but I don’t know if I would have been as happy,” she said.

Authorize HEAP Dea d ler

Willsboro resident and award-winning artist Patricia Reynolds will have dozens of works on display at her studio on Point Road in Willsboro this summer, starting with an opening reception Aug. 8.

Photo by Matt Bosley

Much of her work focuses on nature as she presents impressionistic views of scenery she’s encountered on trips to Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean Islands. Still, the landscapes of the Adirondacks and the Champlain Valley, continue to be a major source of inspiration for her.

“This view changes every hour,” she said, referring to the vista of Lake Champlain out her back window. “I’ve painted it maybe 300 times, and each one is different.”

Today, at 75 years of age, Reynolds admits she’s slowing down somewhat, but hopes to continue painting as long as she can.

“I just want to be able to put two feet on the ground when I get up in the morning,”

she said. “It’s nice that I can just enjoy being leisurely when I need to.”

Reynolds has made it a point to open her studio each summer, but illness prevented her from doing a show last year. This year, more than 100 of her paintings, both new and old, framed and unframed, will be on display to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her studio.

An opening reception for the show is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 8, from noon to 5 p.m. The studio is located at 828 Point Road. All are welcome to attend.

Other viewings are also available by appointment by calling Reynolds at 963-8356.

For all of those missing their Dads, & for my siblings & myself.....Thanks Dad for always being there.

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 grade 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 too 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.

2-1-1’s future uncertain Funding needed to sustain program a second year

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The future of a regional 2-1-1 telephone information system is now in question.

John C. Bernardi, executive director of the United Way of the Adirondack Region, said funding for the system — which has been serving Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties since July 1, 2009 — officially ran out following the one-year anniversary of its establishment. However, the Hudson Valley region call center that operates the system is working with the local United Way — which serves as the coordinating entity for the system — to keep the program running until funding is secured.

“We are okay until the end of August because we’ve negotiated a continuation with the call center through then,” said Bernardi, who serves as chairman of a steering committee established to oversee the system. “Beyond that, the future is uncertain.”

“We’re operating on fumes,” added Bernardi. “[The call center] has been very reasonable. They want to obviously keep us up and running, but we’re running on fumes.”

The annual operating cost of the system is approximately $85,000 — a fraction of the estimated $350,000-$500,000 cost the United Way steering committee found it would take to establish and operate a new call center in the tri-county region.

The cost of planning and developing the system was fund-

ed by a combination of local in-kind resources and through 2-1-1 New York, the organization which facilitates the implementation of 2-1-1 systems. The overall cost to operate the system was funded through a combination of public-private partnerships such as the United Way, major gifts and endowments and state funding.

However, state funding “is not showing any promise of being reinstated anytime soon,” said Bernardi.

“We’re sort of at a crossroads now with the program,” said Bernardi, who added the steering committee is currently working to identify ways to sustain the program. “We’re looking at some contractual opportunities and some other sources of revenue that we can utilize to sustain the program. Although we don’t have anything concrete at this point.”

One suggestion has been to propose the state consolidate toll-free hotline numbers it operates and use that money to fund 2-1-1 services statewide.

“It doesn’t look promising, but there are efforts under way to convince the state that they’re wasting a lot of money on toll-free numbers when they ought to be investing in 2-1-1,” said Bernardi.

“Some of those numbers are being answered outside the State of New York, so that would mean money would stay in the State of New York which makes more sense,” added Jeanie D. Roberts, executive director of the North Country chapter of the American Red Cross, who also serves on the 2-1-1 steering committee.

Both Roberts and Bernardi said they’d hate to see the switch turned off for the system just as it is beginning to pick up speed.

July 31, 2010

When to dial 2-1-1 If you’re looking for free information about health and human services available in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, call 2-1-1. The service, which is accessible from cellular and landline phones, connects callers with a central call center where an operator is available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. The operator is then able to refer the caller to services such as childcare, mental health professionals, food pantries and government assistance programs.

During off hours, a recording will greet callers with directions to call back during regular business hours.

“We really think that year two, which we just started, will be critical in terms of its development and its usage,” said Bernardi who said shutting down the system would be the worst-case scenario. “We just don’t want that to happen because we’ve got a lot of money, time and energy invested in what we think is a very important program.”

According to information compiled for the United Way, the regional 2-1-1 system handled 293 calls from its inception through May 31. Of those calls, referrals were made to 340 providers of health and human services such as mental health counseling, legal services, and providers of basic necessities such as food, clothing and shelter.

Bernardi said he anticipates the number of those who utilize the system to increase if the program continues.

“We think the first year it’s been underutilized but we also recognize that it takes time for this to become familiar to people,” he said. “We really anticipate year two to be year of great growth ... that’s why we fear having to end the program.”

Bridge project to use union labor

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The construction of a new Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point will be a union project after all.

Even though New York and Vermont rejected a project labor agreement (PLA) on the new bridge construction, Flatiron Construction Inc., recently signed a private PLA. Flatiron, based in Colorado, was awarded the bridge contract for $69.9 million.

Because the construction of the bridge is fast-paced and highly technical, Flatiron spokeswoman Christie DeLuca said, the company wants to make sure it hires qualified workers.

“The bridge also incorporates a unique design. The main stand is a technically challenging tied-arch center, which requires specific qualifications to perform the work. So flatiron signed a PLA so the unions would help assist them in finding employees that have the necessary experience for that highly technical work,” she said.

Workers must apply for jobs through the union hiring halls, DeLuca said, but that does not mean they are required to be a union member.

“The way it works is local people go to the union halls to put in their application and the union halls are then required to refer any applicants that are qualified. They (applicants)

Murder From page 1 hearing July 26, after his recent confession led to his arrest for the murder of his first wife, June Collard, who he reported missing in November 1980.

Formerly a resident of Olmsteadville in Minerva, Collard had moved to Samson, Ala., in 1994. Investigators from New York State Police Troop B recently traveled to Alabama to meet with Collard as part of their ongoing work on the case.

It was there, police said, Collard ultimately confessed to causing the death of his former wife and described in detail how he had disposed of her body.

Collard was immediately arrested, waived extradition hearings, and was flown to the area July 21. Arraigned in Elizabethtown, he was remanded to Essex County Jail and held without bail.

The courtroom was packed with many of his family members as Collard entered in prison garb and chains. Represented by public defender Brandon Boutelle, he entered a plea of not guilty.

On the witness stand, investigator Karen

DuFour from the Troop B Violent Crimes Investigation Team explained how, when they’re not busy investigating more recent crimes, her team continues work on “socalled cold cases,” like that of June Collard’s.

DuFour said she and another investigator had arranged with the Geneva County, Ala., sheriff ’s office to meet with Collard there.

“I think his exact words were, ‘I know why you’re here,’” she said.

Collard had been questioned about the case numerous times by police during the past 30 years.

Collard was read his Miranda rights prior to being questioned, DuFour said, but declined an attorney.

DuFour said Collard gave conflicting stories when asked about the time leading up to June’s disappearance, giving investigators the impression he wasn’t being truthful.

“He then told us that she went to his residence,” said DuFour, noting how the two were separated at the time. “They got into an argument.”

DuFour read from Collard’s signed confession in which he allegedly claimed that, at one point during the argument, June picked up a knife. It was then, according to his written statement, he finally “let her have it.”

don’t necessarily need to be union and they are not required to join the union, but they will have the option to,” she said.

Non-union workers will still have to pay union dues because the union is still required to represent them, but DeLuca said the dues are less then they would be for a union member.

The PLA does not change the workers' wages, DeLuca said. Every worker will still be paid the prevailing wage rate established by the Department of Labor and the State of New York.

The Lake Champlain ferry Grand Isle crosses the narrows between Chimney Point and Crown Point, N.Y., last week. Summer tourism and regular local commuter traffic keeps the Grand Isle and her sister auto ferry Cumberland filled to capacity — approximately 35 average-sized vehicles per crossing.

“I punched her with my right hand,” he wrote, claiming she then fell through a door and against a hot water tank, breaking it. “I think she was dead when I hit her.”

In his statement, Collard said he checked for signs of life, but found no pulse or breathing.

“I was mad at myself for letting it happen,” he wrote, noting how he had become agitated by June “sleeping around.” “A person can only take so much.”

Collard explained how he then dumped June’s body out a window into a hole that had been dug for a septic system. He covered the hole until spring when, his statement said, he burned brush in the hole, dumped some lime over the remains, bulldozed the hole, and built an addition to his house over it to conceal it.

“At no point had I ever planned to cause harm to my wife,” Collard added to the statement in his own handwriting.

Collard remained silent during the hearing, though appeared visibly frustrated at times. At one point, he mouthed the words, “I didn’t do it,” to family members in the gallery.

Justice William Garrison ordered the case to trial and for Collard to continue to be held without bail.

According to Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague, initial hearings for the trial will take place within the next 45 days.

Sprague acknowledged some difficulty in Thomas Anthony prosecuting Collard such an old case, as some witnesses and evidence are no longer available, but she commended state police for keeping track of important leads.

Police are planning efforts to recover June’s remains sometime soon, said Sprague, and that Collard’s children especially are hoping those efforts can be successful.

“They want to give their mother a proper burial,” Sprague said, “and I think that’s the least they deserve at this point.”

Lake Placid Film Forum to show ‘The Wizard of Oz’ LAKE PLACID — The Adirondack Film Society will present a special screening of “The Wizard of Oz,” Saturday, Aug. 7, at 2 p.m. at Lake Placid’s Palace Theater. Three experts on the world of Oz will be available to answer any questions you might have about this classic film.

Experts will include Jane Lahr, a much-respected book editor and and her brother John Lahr, children of the late Bert Lahr, the actor who will forever be remembered as the Cowardly Lion. John Lahr is the theater critic for the New Yorker magazine, also wrote a much-acclaimed biography of his father, “Notes on a Cowardly Lion.”

Also in attendance will be John Fricke, a film historian who has written three books about The Wizard of Oz and two books about Judy Garland. Fricke also received an Emmy Award as co-producer of the 2004 PBS-TV “American Masters” program, “Judy Garland: By Myself.”

The moderator of the post-screening discussion will be Kathleen Carroll, the Lake Placid Film Forum’s artistic director, who, in her former role as the film critic of the New York Daily News, did an interview in 1975 with the then surviving members of the cast of The Wizard of Oz, including Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Margaret Hamilton along with the producer, Mervyn LeRoy. Tickets, which are $12 for adults and $8 for children 12 and younger, will be available on the day of the screening. For further information, e-mail katcarr@aol.com.

Getting Back Your Bucks Home Improvements That Yield Good Returns each year, homeowners spend billions of dollars improving their homes. While those improvements are intended to improve the home for all its residents, such improvements are also intended to increase a home’s value.

Projects that contribute the most to a home’s resale value are the most attractive. This year’s “Cost vs. Value Report” from Remodeling magazine examines the relationship between remodeling costs and resale value. The following projects were some of the best for homeowners looking to improve their home and the home’s resale value at the same time.

For more information on the 2009-10 “Cost vs. Value Report,” visit the Remodeling magazine Web site at www.remodeling.hw.net.

* Entry door replacement (steel): Removing an existing entry door and replacing with a new 20-gauge steel door proved to be a homeowner’s best friend, recouping 128.9 percent of its cost at resale.

Among midrange projects, this one recouped the most money by a landslide. * Attic bedroom: Converting an unfinished attic space to a 15-by-15-foot bedroom and a 5-by-7foot bathroom with a shower also proved worthwhile to homeowners. Such a project recouped 83.1 percent of its $49,000 price tag at resale. * Minor kitchen remodel: For homeowners looking for smaller-scale projects, a minor kitchen remodel, which includes installing new raised-panel wood doors on cabinets and drawers as well as replacing older appliances with more energy-efficient models, boasts a smaller price tag and a solid return. The project, which costs roughly $21,000, recouped 78.3 percent of that cost at resale. * Backup power generator: Perhaps in light of the headline-gripping natural disasters and storms of the last decade, adding a backup power generator also proved a worthwhile investment. The project involves adding a backup system with the capacity to provide 70 amps of emergency power. That project recouped nearly 59 percent of its initial cost at resale, making it one of the few projects that saw its cost recouped figure increase from 2008-09. * Siding replacement (fiber-cement): Among projects categorized as upscale, no project fared better than siding replacement (fiber-cement) when comparing recouped values. Replacing existing siding with fiber-cement siding that’s factory primed and factory painted recouped almost 84 percent of its initial cost at resale. * Window replacement (vinyl): Replacing 10 existing 3-by-5-foot double-hung windows with insulated, low-E, simulated-divided-lite vinyl windows is also a good bet for homeowners looking to improve their home and its resale value. Also considered an upscale project in spite of its relatively low price tag (roughly $14,000), this project recouped an average of 79 percent of its initial cost at resale.

Race the Train rolls back into North Creek for ninth annual race

By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Runners from across the region will gather in North Creek Saturday, Aug. 7 for the ninth annual Race the Train to benefit Johnsburg Dollars for Scholars.

Since its inception, Race the Train has drawn hundreds of runners and their families to the village of North Creek for an 8.4 mile run along the route of the Upper Hudson River Railroad train from Riparius to the North Creek station.

Registration is taking place on-line at www.active.com and www.adirondackrunners.com until Aug. 4. Advance registration is recommended, but will continue on race day.

“It is never to late to register for Race the Train,” said co-director Ann Arsenault. “We want everyone with interest in running to

have a chance.”

A registration party will be hosted at the North Creek station Aug. 6, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and registration will also be available before the race from 7 to 7:45 a.m., Aug. 7.

The train will depart the North Creek station at 8 a.m. to bring runners and spectators to Riparius where the train will return and the runners will follow the same route.

Awards, refreshments and raffles will take place in North Creek following the race.

All are welcome to attend a pre-race pasta dinner hosted by Marsha’s Restaurant on Main Street. Take-outs are available at 4:30 p.m. and dinner will be served from 5 to 7 p.m. Dinner tickets are required and are available at Marsha’s Restaurant as well as North Creek Community Bank.

With 324 runners already entered and many expected spectators, local businesses will see a growth in business the day of the race.

“Businesses certainly benefit from the race, but the race also benefits greatly from the support of businesses,” said Arsenault.

“This is not just a race, but a community and family event.”

A one-mile family fun run will be held on Main Street after the main race. The cost is $5 to run and children as well as adults are welcome to enter. This family attraction is what makes Race the Train so much more than just a race, according to Arsenault.

Registration is up by 45 runners from last year ’s race already and Arsenault is encouraged by the interest. Dollars for Scholars was able to raise $16,000 before expenses last year and used the money for scholarships for Johnsburg Central School graduates moving on to college.

More information can be found on-line at the registration Web sites or by calling 2512602.

2010 Ticonderoga Car Show

A super weekend for classic cars, comedy and community

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — From 1932 Model A Fords to 1960s muscle cars — with a few classic pickups added to the show fleet for good measure — the annual Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Antique & Classic Car Show, which includes the Super Wheels qualifying event, has a vehicle that’s going to catch the eye of the most demanding car buff.

This year ’s judged show, which will feature more than 200 displayed vehicles, is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 8, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Bicentennial Park.

The Ticonderoga show, now in its 18th year, was started through the vision and hard work of Tim and Carol Whitford, according to JoAnn Geisel of the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce.

“Tim has been a long-time show volunteer and remains one of the driving force behind the auto show,” said Geisel.

“Tim and Carol will be involved again this year.”

There will be more than 100 trophies awarded in 35 different vehicle classes. The cost to register a vehicle is $10 in advance or $15 at the gate. Unlike similar car shows, this event is a real deal — it’s free for spectators.

In addition to being among the best of the Champlain Valley’s car shows, the event kicks off Saturday with a poker run starting at 12:30 p.m. at Adam’s Rib Restaurant. Then, throughout the afternoon, the Ticonderoga Farmers’ Market will offer show attendees a variety of produce and assorted goods — all locally grown and produced. On Saturday evening, the “show prep” is topped off with the second annual Headliner Saturday Night concert.

Last year ’s concert was a such big hit, according to Geisel, the venue was bound to become a permanent fixture to the weekend. ”It’s an ideal prelude to the car show the following day,” she said.

The 2010 headliner will star comedian-actor Rusty DeWees as “The Logger.” His one-man show of North County humor will keep the audience in stitches. In addition to the stage, DeWees has become a familiar face to local screen fans.

He has performed on TV’s “Law and Order,” and most recently, in the indie film about North Country bootleggers, “Disappearances.”

The Logger concert will be held at the Best Western in Ticonderoga; the two-hour performance starts at 8 p.m. Tick-

Only 215 tickets will be sold, so reservations are suggested. There will be a cash bar during the show. Call 585-6619 for additional information or to buy tickets.

Food and entertainment will be available throughout the weekend, as will music, games, prizes, and more. On Sun-

day, there will be more than 100 trophies awarded in 35 different classes. The cost to register a vehicle is $10 in advance (deadline Aug. 6) or $15 day of the event. The event is free for spectators.

More public hearings scheduled for fire towers RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Park Agency will hold three public hearings regarding the assessment of alternatives to amend the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan related to the fire towers in the St. Regis Canoe Area and Hurricane Mountain Primitive Area.

Proposed alternatives for amending the State Land Master Plan include: • Reclassifying an area around the base of the fire towers on St. Regis and Hurricane Mountains to a Historic Area classification.

• Revising the SLMP Canoe Area guidelines to include the fire tower on St. Regis

Mountain as a conforming structure.

• Revising the SLMP classification guidelines to allow the retention of the fire towers in Primitive areas under certain conditions.

This alternative would include creating a small Primitive area around the fire tower on St. Regis and retaining a small Primitive area classification around the fire tower on Hurricane Mountain.

• No Action; which would result in removal or relocation from their current locations.

Public hearings will be held on the following dates and locations:

Still a little ticked off

play outside, whether in the backyard or at the local ball field.

Lyme disease, a bacteria delivered by a tick’s bite, is prevalent across the entire state. In fact, two out of the three counties with the highest incidence of Lyme disease in the entire country, are located in New York. And it appears to be spreading north.

In 2008, there were 22 confirmed cases of Lyme disease in Essex County, while only four cases were reported in Franklin County and six in Clinton County. Even with such small numbers, precautions are advised. Hunters, especially those who sit watch on the ground while pursuing deer and turkey, should be extra careful.

Anyone traveling, playing or spending time in the outdoors is susceptible to the tick borne disease. All of my brother ’s children, who live in the Hudson River Valley community of Red Hook, have had it. The

July 31, 2010 family keeps a ready supply of tick tweezers and medication on hand at all times.

“Whenever the kids play outdoors,” my brother explained, “they tuck their pant legs into their socks. Even so, we still have to check them over for ticks as soon as they're back inside. The ticks are real difficult to see. They are about the size of a single piece of pepper.”

Lyme disease is caused by the bite of infected deer ticks, which are most active during the spring and early summer, and again in the fall.

The best method to combat the affliction is to avoid getting a bite in the first place.

This can be accomplished by limiting tick’s access to the skin by tucking pants into socks, and shirts into pants. When traveling in brushy and grassy areas, wear lightcolored clothing, spray repellant around pant and shirt cuffs and always check for ticks after outings.

If a tick is found, use tweezers to remove it and check for telltale signs of infection such as rashes. Three out of four victims report a bull’s eye-shaped red rash after being bitten. It can last for several days or weeks.

Victims report aches and pain, numbness, fatigue and a stiff neck. Early detection is key! Treatment requires three weeks of a daily dose of antibiotics such as Doxycycline, Amoxicillin or Cefuroxime. Worsecase scenarios require 21-30 days of IV Therapy and hospitalization.

Avoidance and protection isn’t always possible, but recognizing the warning signs can help victims to ward off further, more severe complications. Keep a watchful eye to remain ticked off.

t happened to me again. I was attacked and threatened with a disease that can bring the chills, fever, swollen glands, pounding headaches, severe fatigue, a stiff neck, sore back and joint pain including a tingling in the arms and legs.

I was lucky. I found the critter crawling on the back of my leg before it had the opportunity to hit pay dirt.

The first time I noticed one was when two of my hunting partners found them on their flesh, last season.

The little varmints can be found in many grassy, wooded and brushy areas or in stonewalls, woodpiles, tall grass and piles

of leaves. They are more common today than ever, in Northern New York. Many fear a warming climate is expanding their northern range.

Most victims never feel the bite, but its aftermath can bring serious health complications and lifelong affects including musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiac problems. The most severe symptoms of the disease may not appear for weeks, months or even years after the bite.

It’s a sneaky little pest that can be picked up simply by walking to the mailbox or mowing the lawn or attending a bar-b-que. Golfers are attacked as often as anglers or hunters. So are children who
