Westport supervisor Daniel Connell told colleagues at an Aug. 9 Economic Development Committee meeting the owner of the former state police barracks in Westport has submitted an application to Westport’s Planning Board to renovate the single-story brick building for use as a new site for the VA clinic. ...See Clinic on page 2

sites: one in the Saranac Lake area, and another near Elizabethtown.

A site on Depot Street in Saranac Lake was named in June as the first site chosen for a new clinic. The clinic staff would alternate days there and at whatever site is chosen near Elizabethtown.

Peter Potter, spokesman for Stratton VAMC, said he could not confirm the state police barracks as the chosen site because a contract with the owner has yet to be signed. However, he did say negotiations are ongoing with the site’s owner.

An assessment by Stratton VAMC staff identified one main issue with the building, Potter said, and Moore has yet to respond with a plan to rec-

“Once that issue has been addressed, we can go forward with a site inspection,” said Potter.

“Assuming all is well, we’ll get down to the final phases.”

The contract would set up a lease agreement with the owner, meaning the property would remain in private hands and part of the local tax roll.

If a contract were to be signed within the next few weeks, Potter said the building could potentially be ready to open as a clinic before the end of the year.

“We’re just really looking forward to getting up and running and serving the local area,” Potter said.

The former state police barracks in Westport are expected to be chosen as the site for a Veterans’ Administration clinic that will split time with another site in Saranac Lake. The owner of the building submitted applications to local planning offices for a change in occupancy for the facility.

Cutting appointed sheriff, will run in November

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Richard Cutting is the new sheriff of Essex County.

Cutting was appointed to the position under the authority of Judge Richard B. Meyer Aug. 6 after resigning from his post as undersheriff.

“County law provides for the appointment of the sheriff if there is no sheriff or undersheriff,” Cutting explained, noting he had resigned in order to prepare to run for sheriff in the upcoming November election.

The change is mostly nominal for Cutting, who, as undersheriff, would have performed the duties of sheriff until someone was appointed or elected to the position.

Cutting’s appointment was welcomed by county supervisors during committee meetings Aug. 9, when Cutting also formally stated his intentions to run for sheriff in November.

“I’ve been here for 33 years,” Cutting said, noting how he started as a deputy and moved up through the ranks. “We have a tremendous organization here of dedicated professionals.

Looking at that, I’d like to stay on and lead this organization and keep it going forward for an-

other term.

Cutting, 55, has been undersheriff for the past two years, prior to which he spent 10 years as jail administrator, working closely under sheriff Henry Hommes, who passed away July 30.

“That was a tragic loss,” said Cutting. “He was a strong leader that took us a long way.”

Cutting lauded Hommes for his leadership in construction of the new Public Safety building after the state forced the county to build a new jail. He noted how, by boarding federal inmates and inmates from other counties at the new facility, the sheriff’s office has turned an expense into a major source of revenue and added more jobs for Essex County residents.

“I think [sheriff Hommes] spearheaded a tremendous project for Essex County,” said Cutting. “I’m just honored to be in a place where I can try to continue that.”

Candidates for the general election have until Aug. 17 to file their petitions as an independent. Each major party may also select a candidate by committee.

Richard Cutting, seen here taking the oath as undersheriff in January, has been appointed as sheriff to replace the late Henry Hommes. Cutting formally announced his intent to run for the position in November.

orry no column from Willsboro this past week, my e-mail got lost in space and thus did not get to Denton’s on

time.

By the time you read this, I hope you had a chance to witness the Canadian bicycle group that went through our community this past week. There were between 1,700 to 1,800 people involved in this event; the first time this group has come this way. Our region is very popular for the Canadian tourist and we are hopeful many of the bikers will return someday and pay us a visit.

The Choate & Spierto families have had several of their children here recently for a visit. Florence LaMountain had a granddaughter and her husband here for a week, they did a lot of jobs around her home. My grandson, Joey Vanags and Megan, his newly engaged partner, recently spent a week at our camp. Glad to report that Liz Wilkins has returned home after her fall. Give her a call or a card to welcome her home.

Special local events to be aware of include

the Annual Used Book Sale at the Paine Library, starting Friday, Aug. 13, from 5 to 8 p.m. This is time for the early birds to get a first look at the books for sale. Then Saturday, Aug. 14, the regular sale is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Late afternoon there will be a bag full reduced price sale. The library reported another very successful craft fair, hard to believe that public interest has lasted these 28 years. The Ecumenical Vacation Bible School will take place starting Monday, Aug. 16, and runs until Friday, Aug. 20. It will take place at the Willsboro United Methodist Church from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day for all interested children from kindergarten to sixth grade.

Happy Birthday to Sandy Oliver 8/12, Brad Paye 8/13, Marion Cioppa 8/13, Jonathan Hubbard 8/14, Gary Stoker 8/15, Terry Ball 8/17, Vaughn Jaquish 8/17, Ashley Alden 8/19, Skiler Stafford 8/19, Darcy Hale 8.15, Bob Huestis 8/19.

his Sunday will be the big event at Immaculate Conception Church with the 2 p.m. mass presided by Bishop LaValley to celebrate the 175th anniversary of this church. All are welcome to attend. The dinner following the mass has been sold out, unfortunately. Again, thanks to all who have spent so much time and elbow grease to make her look young again. The Chesterfield Fish and Game Club has a working party for Aug. 14 and 15 to replace the shed roof attached to the indoor shooting range. Any help is very much appreciated. Aug. 22 will find a 3-D archery shoot on site. Check out their Web site for more information at www.chesterfieldshootingrange.com A free one hour performance by our own Speedy Arnold will close out this year’s Summer Reading Program at the Keeseville Free Library. It will be Monday, Aug. 16, from 10 to 11 a.m. Again, thanks to Mary and her entire staff for running such a great program for our kids.

Speedy Arnold will also have the privilege of opening for the Gibson Brothers at the Essex County Fairgrounds in Westport Aug. 28, with

his past week I’ve been busy mowing my back fields, the ones too small or rough to cut hay from. The birds that nest in tall grass, like bobolinks, have finished with raising their young by now. Mowing keeps the trees and brush from getting a foothold, and encourages grasses over plants like goldenrod or milkweed.

Riding a slow moving and loud diesel tractor is tedious, but there are pleasures to be had, like seeing throngs of swallows and dragonflies chasing the insects the mower kicks up. Both tree and barn swallows stayed with me one afternoon, swirling and diving, picking bugs out of the air. My favorite thing is to mow around wet areas, where wild mint and something that resembles oregano grow.

The sweet smells are heavenly.

On Saturday, Aug. 14, there will be a food sale to benefit the Belden Noble Library. The sale will start at 9 a.m. and will be held in front of the post office on Main Street. Please call the library if you’d like to donate a food item to sell.

I’d like to offer condolences to the family and friends of Polly Crowningshield, who died last week. When we moved to Reber, our post office was in Whallonsburg, and Polly was the post master. She could not have been more welcoming to us and, over the years, helped lots of newcomers like us settle in the area. Her post office was tiny and had no storage space, but it was a cheerful place, thanks to Polly.

The roadway into the site for the sewage treatment plant is nearly finished, and the site itself has been cleared of trees and brush.

This week they’ll be working on more excavations for the building and treatment tanks.

Last week’s wind and rain storm pushed a lot of my sweet corn over, but within three days, the plants had straightened themselves out and now look normal. The pole beans suffered a severe lashing from the wind, but with this warm and rainy weather, they’ll recover too. This has been the best gardening summer in my memory.

gates opening up at 5:30 p.m. I will feature more information on this event next week.

Keeseville native Logan Franks who, while serving in Iraq, developed training and experience in participating in triathlons and marathons. This has paid off well when Franks finished 11th overall with a new course record for his age division at this year’s Lake Placid Ironman event. This win earned him a slot in the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. This is serious professional status for which Keeseville should be very proud, but Franks needs our help. Most athletes who compete at this level are professionals with sponsors who help with the costs involved in such an undertaking. Various locations throughout Keeseville have donation jars where we can help Franks cover the costs he is incurring for this incredible opportunity. He could also use sponsors for their financial assistance as well.

Information is available by the donation jars, which I know are at least at Arnold’s and Donna’s Hair Styles. Thanks, and have a great week.

orld Cup fever still runs high — that’s the word from the Youth Commission, which wants you to know that biddy soccer is back and better than ever. Registration will be held Tuesday, Aug. 17, at 5:30 p.m. at Westport Central School, and the first practice will begin at 6 p.m. Age groups are K-2, 3-4, and 5-6.

“We have great volunteer coaches,” Youth Commission director Elizabeth Lee said, “and will be participating in matches against eight other teams in Essex County.” So come on down and sign up your rising young soccer star. Summer’s not quite over yet, though, as the Depot Theatre Apprentices, who’ve been rehearsing this year’s Shakespeare-in-the-Park production of The Tempest, can tell you. But not even the hottest days could slow them down or take the edge off their talent. As always, directors Lindsay Pontius and Scott Gibbs have worked their magic to bring Shakespeare’s words to life for a new generation, revealing how lines that at first sound foreign and “oldfashioned” hold impulses and emotions that are

totally familiar to us. Plus, a lot of times, they’re really funny, too.

There’s romance, there’s intrigue, and there’s the mystery of an enchanted isle on the edge of a “brave new world.” The Tempest will be performed in Ballard Park 5 p.m., Friday, Aug. 13 and Saturday, Aug. 14. The show is free and you’re encouraged to bring a chair or blanket.

We’ll also be selling our cool new T-shirts, which feature an original design by Wadhams artist Paul Rossi. You’ll definitely want to get one of those.

And at Camp Dudley 1 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 22, the distinguished author Jay Parini (who teaches writing at Middlebury) will give a talk entitled, “The Books That Changed America,” based on his recent book, “Promised Land.”

This event is part of the Annual August Author series presented by the Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties, and it will be the organization’s main fundraiser. This is a great way to support them and a great chance to see this nationally recognized writer talk about his work.

211 needs rethinking To the editor: Your article “2-1-1's future uncertain” in the July 31, 2010 issue of the Valley News is a perfect example of why the state of New York is out of money. According to figures cited in the article, the 211 information system costs the region $85,000 per year and that, in the nearly one year the system has been in operation, 293 calls have been handled. That equates to a whopping per call cost of $290.

Spending $290 to provide each caller with information that, for the most part, can be located by picking up and using the phone book is ridiculous. Plus, in addition to the up-front call center expenses, it seems quite likely that widespread marketing of the “convenience” of the 211 service ends up steering more people to become consumers of state-provided social services and public assistance, costing taxpayers even more money.

It's past time to pull the plug on this expensive boondoggle.

y most estimates, skin cancer has increased dramatically during the last 20 years. Now, researchers have discovered people who utilize tanning beds have a higher risk of skin cancer.

In 2009, 800,000 cases of skin cancer were diagnosed in America.

For centuries, pale or white skin was preferred. Pale skin imparted your social class and financial status because laborers had little protection from the sun as they worked the fields or tended animals. The nobles that ruled the working class remained pale as they had little exposure to the sun. In fact, women often used lead paint and chalk to whiten their skin at the risk of slow lead poisoning. Later, women used arsenic to lighten their skin with sometimes fatal results. Women painted thin blue lines on their foreheads to suggest the translucence of their skin. Women of the era frequently employed parasols or masks to maintain their alabaster skin.

Not surprisingly, the preference for pale skin was exported to America. When southern belles ventured out, their parasol went with them and northern high society debutants did the same. As women’s fashions were rapidly changing and becoming more revealing, an accidental sunburn changed everything.

Coco Channel was an influential, French fashion designer in the 1920’s and when she returned from a Paris to Cannes cruise,

she was darkly tanned and that accidental tan created a new preference for tanning. Just as the nobles pale skin offered them a preferred

By Scot Hurlburt status over the working classes, tanned skin now became the symbol of wealth, style and health. A winter tan meant you had the resources necessary to go to a sunny climate even during winter. Sun bathing became popular as a means of relaxing and socializing.

It wasn’t until 1979 that concerns about tanning were raised. The results of the research at that time concluded “there is no safe tan.” If the thought of getting skin cancer doesn’t alarm you, over exposure to the sun will give you lots of wrinkles, more than is normal for your age. It will give you unsightly brown age spots and will make your skin sag. In light of all the risks associated with excessive sun exposure, perhaps it will become fashionable again to have pale skin. I hope so; it should put me at the height of fashion. Remember all kids count.

paper ballot (front and back), then fed into a scanner to be recorded and counted. I suspect that the scanner will ‘feel’ very much like feeding a sheet of paper into a paper shredder, by no means suggesting that the ballot is reduced to shreds. The paper ballot is scanned, recorded electronically then dropped into a bin.

With the paper record (no chads, thank you, just pen marks!) and the electronic count/calculations we have a far better back up system than with the mechanical machines that many of us were unwilling to relinquish to new technology.

All this consternation by many with visions of voting on what would be equivalent to a PC or laptop, all for naught! If my information is correct, a machine will be on display at the Essex County Fair next week for everyone to see for themselves. Come one, come all!

Project will be rejected To the editor: I see that Dan Connell thinks a September revote on the municipal building scheme will do the trick, but I’m afraid he doesn’t realize that the big spending era is over. New York is virtually bankrupt, and while county officials can still vote themselves raises, the spending that the taxpayers can control is going to be cut. The municipal building will be decisively voted down in September, because the taxpayers are waking up.

Support school supply drive To the editor: The Town of Lewis will once again support the endeavors of Donna Paton in the collection of school supplies for the 2010-2011 school year. This program was a resounding success last year with not only the donations made, but the number of families that were assisted with school supplies.

Anyone who wants to donate supplies can drop off at the Lewis Town Hall 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Monday through Friday. Cash donations may be sent to Donna Paton, 8598 US Route 9, Lewis, NY, 12950.

Suggested items include backpacks, binders, No. 2 pencils, crayons, glue sticks, Elmer’s glue, child safety scissors, colored markes, colored pencils, ruled index cards, pocket folders, looseleaf paper, composition notebooks, college-ruled notebooks, Kleenex, calculators, pens, erasers and rulers.

I would state that over 40 children were assisted with school supplies, and it is my goal to assist even more this year. The program would also accept good condition graphing calculators, scientific calculators and new flash drives, as many students have those on their supply lists.

Outdoor events raise funds for Molly Rascoe

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com LEWIS — A friendly game of softball between friends and neighbors at Mt. Fay Fish and Game Club Aug. 7 was about more than just fun in the sun.

The co-ed, slow-pitch tournament also served as a benefit for Molly Rascoe, a Westport teen undergoing continued treatment for a rare kidney condition.

“I think it’s just another way of the community helping out,” said Molly’s father, Brad Rascoe. “People have always tried to help us and are continuing to help out.”

As part of her treatment, Molly must travel to Burlington, Vt. three times weekly to undergo kidney dialysis. The trips have become a major expense for her family.

Thanks to local fundraisers, such as the Aug. 7 softball tournament, that expense has been a bit easier to bear.

Westport resident Bob McGoldrick organized the tournament, which drew teams from Wadhams and Willsboro.

“I was looking for some outlet for a benefit for softball,” he said.

Molly, an enthusiastic athlete, has had to give up several of the sports she loves since being diagnosed about a year ago.

“Softball was definitely one of her favorites,” said McGoldrick.

The tournament raised $500, thanks in part to a $150 donation from the Westport Fire Districts.

“It was the Willsboro Rockettes against the Wadhams Microbursts,” McGoldrick said. “We played two games. Everyone was having so much fun, they wanted to do another one.”

Another recent event, the second annual Brock and Connor Marvin Golf Tournament, raised $4,800 for Molly’s medical fund.

Hosted at the Westport Country Club, the July 30 tournament drew more than 100 golfers and raised hundreds through a silent auction of locally-donated merchandise.

“She loves golf,” said Brad of Molly, noting how she picked up the sport this year and is now torn between which spring sport she’ll choose for her senior year at Westport.

With her disease in remission, Molly is anticipating a kidney transplant this fall, after which her visits to Burlington are expected to decrease significantly.

Potential donors have already come forward, Brad said, and are currently being tested as transplant candidates.

Brock Marvin, Molly Rascoe, and Connor Marvin each enjoyed a day of golf at the Second Annual Brock and Connor Marvin Golf Tournament July 30. $4,800 in proceeds from this year’s tournament went to benefit Molly’s medical fund as she anticipates a kidney transplant this fall.

In the meantime, the Rascoes are thankful for community support.

“We’re just amazed at all the involvement of people in the community,” said Brad. “It’s just been amazing what everyone has done to show their support.”

Westport church works to save historic windows WESTPORT — A pair of priceless stained glass windows have illuminated Westport’s Catholic church for the past century. Now efforts are under way to ensure their preservation.

Two windows at St. Philip Neri Church, both of which date from around 1910, will undergo restoration this fall at great expense to the church.

Father Peter Riani is pastor at St. Philip Neri Church as well as St. Elizabeth Church in Elizabethtown. He said parish members cleaning the church first noticed instability in the windows late last year. Coincidentally, a professional stained glass window restoration firm soon sent an offer for a free window assessment, to which Riani agreed.

The assessment concluded most windows in both churches were in good condition with little need for immediate repair. The two large windows in Westport, however, were found to be in dire need of attention.

“They are basically unsupported,” said Riani. “If they don’t do this major restoration, they’ll fall out.”

The two windows use rare opalescent glass, which was used predominately in the early 20th century in the style of John LaFarge and Louis Comfort Tiffany. They differ in style from the painted glass more commonly used in stained glass windows.

There is no artist’s signature or date on the windows, and where they originated is now a mystery. Dan Connell, church trustee of St. Philip Neri, said they had hung in the original Catholic church in Westport. When a 1980s fire destroyed that church, the windows were one of the few things

Bill’s Body Shop

saved.

“The firemen did everything they could to make sure they saved them,” said Connell, “then we told the architect to build this church around the windows.”

Willet Hauser, the firm examining the windows, estimated it would cost $47,800 to restore the windows and make them stable enough for continued use.

“We asked what the cost might be to replace them,” Riani said. “He said, ‘It’s not possible; I don’t know anyone who can replace them.’”

An estimate by a local glass artist confirmed the need for a significant restoration, and the church soon signed the contract with Willet Hauser, which will be paid in installments.

The windows will be disassembled in mid-October and sent to a restoration facility in Philadelphia. There, specialists will carefully replace missing or broken pieces of glass and ensure the integrity of the window leading and frame.

In the meantime, the church is trying to obtain a state historical grant and seeking any support people are willing to give to help defray the cost of restoration.

“We’ve gotten some contributions from parishioners,” said Riani, “but we’re going to need considerably more.”

For information on how to make a tax-deductible donation, contact the St. Elizabeth rectory at 873-6760.

LEWIS — The Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad is now better equipped to serve the communities it covers.

The crew of first responders recently purchased a new ambulance to replace the older of two in its fleet. It has already been used on more than a dozen calls since being put into service July 24.

“Our goal was to have it in service in time for Ironman because the other vehicle was going to be in Lake Placid,” explained Larry Bashaw, ambulance committee chairman for the squad.

The ambulance replaces one that had been in service for nearly 13 years and was becoming sidelined for maintenance more frequently. The new one is larger to help provide better care and comfort to patients.

“Basically what we’re doing is bringing the ER to the patient,” said Bashaw. “That means we need as much room as possible in the patient area. We needed to have a larger box to do it adequately.”

The squad also chose the larger F-series chassis for its use of a more fuel efficient diesel engine, which was no longer available for smaller Econoline model builds.

Because the new ambulance is one-and-a-half feet taller and longer than the older model, Bashaw wants to remind local residents to be mindful of low-hanging trees and other potential obstacles on their property.

“Regardless of whether it’s a fire truck or an ambulance, it’s important to have good clearance to prevent those vehicles from being damaged,” Bashaw said.

Having a clear path ensures a quick response and prevents the need for repairs to the vehicle, the cost of which ultimately falls to taxpayers, said Bashaw.

The new vehicle cost more than $178,000 and arrived in late June. Costs were offset somewhat by the sale of the older ambulance and a $6,000 Ford Fleet grant.

Not only is the vehicle more spacious, but it’s been custom-fitted with some of the most up-to-date technology and equipment.

Unlike the older model, the newer ambulance features Air-Ride suspension for the smoothest ride possible. It is built with inside-outside cabinets so technicians can access equipment from both the interior and exterior.

Inside the box, an IV warmer helps ensure fluids are the right temperature. LED lighting illuminates the cabin while using minimal electricity and controlled air vents circulate warm or cold air efficiently.

Seats are equipped with five-point harnesses, and one even converts into a child safety seat for young passengers. Other measures, such as a drop-down step to the side entrance, help prevent injury to EMTs, many of whom are seniors themselves.

“It’s really important when we go out on a call that we’re able to come back without being injured,” said Bashaw, noting how the squad has barely enough members to provide coverage throughout each week.

Coverage was becoming so difficult in fact, the squad hired a full-time paid EMT to ensure someone was on duty every weekday during business hours. Susie Saska, who had been a volunteer with the squad for several years, was hired July 1.

The squad is always searching for more volunteers, and even teens are encouraged to join as part of their Junior Member program.

“If they’re looking to go on to medical school, it’s a great place to start,” said Bashaw.

Commuting ... at a snail’s pace

By John Gereau times_sentinel@denpubs.com LAKE CHAMPLAIN — Micheala Martin sat in an endless line of rush hour traffic last week, nervously drumming her fingers on the steering wheel.

The Crown Point ferry — her ride home — was nowhere in sight.

“This is ridiculous,” she said after stepping out of her car to talk about her daily commute. “I am half an hour late picking up my little girl at day care.”

Martin, who lives in Bristol and travels to and from work in Plattsburgh, said she routinely waits an hour or more to cross the lake where the Lake Champlain Bridge once stood.

Summer traffic has compounded the holdup, she said.

Work has begun to replace the bridge and a new crossing is expected to be open in about a year — but for commuters like Martin, that can’t come soon enough.

“It is impossible to plan or stick to a work schedule,” she complained, leaning against her car. “One day you zip right across, the next you wait an hour and a half.”

A few minutes later, the line moved a few

hundred yards, transforming again to a parking lot for another 15 minutes as the two ferries crossed paths from one side to the other.

Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider said she empathizes with motorists, and said she has fielded a number of calls from commuters upset at the wait in Crown Point and Chimney Point, Vt. “I know it is frustrating,” she said. “What I am hearing is that it wasn’t that bad until summer hit. Now the wait can be substantial, especially during rush hour.”

Lake Champlain Transit (LCT) currently operates two ferries at the site of the former bridge, but there are slips built to accommodate up to four.

Kosmider said she plans to ask LCT officials about adding a third ferry — at least during peak traffic times like 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.

“I’m not sure what the answer will be,” she admitted. “I don’t know about the feasibility of running another ferry in the canal.

It is pretty congested now with two.”

LCT Manager Margaret Murphy agreed that putting a third ferry in the rotation would only create gridlock. The company also does not have another ferry available at this time.

Pictured above is the reflection in a sideview mirror of a line of cars waiting to board the the Lake Champlain ferry that transports motorists between Crown Point, NY and Chimney Point, Vt. “Three boats there would be on top of each other,” she said. “I think they would be forced to travel down or up the lake to stay out of the way of one another.”

That scenario would also likely impact other boat traffic, she added.

Murphy said the last two weeks in July and first two in August are traditionally the busiest time of year for the ferry service.

She anticipates the problem to lessen in the fall.

“It will die down in September,” she said.

“In the meantime, we work as efficiently as we can.”

The ferry service between Crown Point and Chimney Point, Vt. is a 24-hour service.

There is no charge at the crossing, as the service is subsidized by the two states.

While Martin said she appreciates not having to pay to cross, she said she is forced to at times when trying to make a tight schedule.

“It certainly is easier to stick to a schedule when I cross in Charlotte,” she said. “But, at $18 for a round trip, it gets expensive.”

“I wouldn’t be able to do it every day,” she added.

BRTF to present ‘Guys and Dolls’ Aug. 13 WHALLONSBURG — Teenage drama set to a musical score takes the Grange Hall stage this weekend, and it isn't the usual story. It’s a tale of love and rolling dice, choreographed and played out under spotlights.

Boquet River Theatre Festival opens “Guys and Dolls” Aug. 13 with its senior cast of teen actors following the smash hit Junior ’s show, which sold out every night last weekend.

After three weeks of evenings spent directing lines, songs and dance moves, Director and Choreographer Jackie Robertin moved the cast to dress rehearsal on Monday with aplomb.

Despite the hard work, the kids had a lot of fun switching in and out of character, tipping fedoras and belting out showtunes.

The senior cast is building off a collective 100 years of experience in theatre with some 20 students and crew from Westport, Essex, Willsboro, Elizabethtown and Lewis.

This is the third year Boquet River Theatre Festival staged a second show for older actors, allowing them to concentrate on finer points of voice and acting skills.

Written in 1950 with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, Guys and Dolls is the story of how high roller Nathan Detroit takes the ultimate gamble with Miss Adelaide while a chance romance of Sky Masterson unfolds with Save-a-Soul Mission sergeant Sarah Brown.

The score features classic show tunes “Luck Be a Lady,” “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” and “Adelaide’s Lament,” which hummed their way into the heart of American culture in decades past by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Vivian Blaine.

"This is going to be a great show," Robertin said to the cast on Monday.

Summer theatre productions at BRTF opened in 1993 with one program that has grown to reach some 50 local young actors in two shows this season.

Musical Director Gigi Carroll said the primary goal behind the scenes has not changed.

“BRTF was established to provide young people with theatrical training and experience while infusing themes of humanity, honesty, good will and respect.”

Board of Directors President Ed Mason said, with its 18th season, BRTF has become a mainstay of young people’s summertime activity in the Boquet River valley.

“I can assure you, as in past years, our venue of the Whallonsburg Grange Hall will be exploding at the seams with

growing audiences, especially since the balcony is now opened. There will be many laughs and standing ovations to show how proud we all are of our young and adolescent actors.”

BRTF has also launched a new website with more information about the program and ticket sales: www.brtf.com.

“Guys and Dolls” goes onstage 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 13 and

7 p.m. Saturday, Aug 14, with a 2 p.m. matinee Sunday, Aug. 15.

Tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for seniors and childrens and may be ordered online or by calling 932-5726.

Tickets are available at the door if space allows, but reservations are highly recommended.

Teen actors with the Boquet River Theatre Festival present “Guys and Dolls” this weekend at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall in Essex, the second of the community youth theatre’s summer shows. The troupe of young actors spent most of their evenings during the past three weeks learning lines and dance numbers. The show opens Friday night, Aug. 13, 7 p.m. with shows 7 p.m. Saturdayand on 2 p.m.

Sunday. Tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for seniors and children and may be ordered online at www.brtf.com or by calling 932-5726.

Energy Expo offers efficiency options KEESEVILLE — For the 10th year in a row, Adirondack Hardware will be offering customers a chance to upgrade their home’s energy efficiency prior to the heating season.

The 10th Annual Energy Expo sale is scheduled for Aug. 20 and 21 and features several products to help any home conserve fuel and money.

The local hardware retailer began the sale event to highlight its selection of Monitor propane heaters and high-efficiency Silverline windows.

“Over time, we’ve expanded and added outdoor wood boilers and pellet stoves,” said Roger T. Long, the store’s purchaser.

Long said manufacturers of the products have been sensitive to the demands of consumers, making them even more clean and cost effective through the past decade.

One example of that is the new E-2400 outdoor wood boiler from Central Boiler, Long noted, which meets the latest EPA “Phase 2” qualifications for OWB emissions.

“They don’t just burn the wood; they use the gas and smoke,” said Long, “so you don’t just get less emissions in the air, you get more heat transfer to your house.”

Tax credits are available for the purchase and installation of many high-efficiency furnaces and heaters on sale at the Energy Expo, including the latest electric on-demand water heaters by Rinnai and Toyotomi.

“The basic idea of these water heaters is not to store any water,” said Long.

Adirondack Hardware stakes claim as the largest Monitor heater dealer in the North Country, and several products available at the Energy Expo are not available at other area stores. Closeout sales will be offered on some discontinued models.

“It’s not cold enough yet for the furnaces to kick on,” said Long, “but it’s right around the corner.”

Search and rescue dog makes public debut after injury First canine recipient of tendon re-growth surgery

By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — Oakland, a seasoned search and rescue dog with Champlain Valley Search and Rescue K9 Unit out of Keeseville made an awaited public debut at the Adirondack Museum Aug. 7, after a serious injury he sustained last August.

The 3-year-old German Shepherd, specializing in air scent tracking severed his Achilles tendon after sliding down a rock scramble during a training exercise.

“We knew something wasn’t right the moment after it happened,” said Oakland’s handler and co-founder of Champlain Valley Search and Rescue’s K9 Unit Shannon Bressett.

What was thought to be a routine Achilles tear was discovered by Oakland’s vets as a complete tendon tear. Initial treatment suggestions included freezing the tendon, which would have permanently retired Oakland.

Despite the detrimental diagnosis, Bressett sought the advice of Dr. Paul Howard of Vermont Veterinary Surgical Center. After learning of a breakthrough surgery at a veterinary conference in Washington D.C., he began researching stem cell therapy to re-grow the injured tendon. Before Oakland, the procedure had been routinely used on injured racehorses.

“When I heard his official diagnosis I was worried that Oakland would not pull through,” said Bressett. “But, he is a member of my family and I was not going to give up on

him that easily. We took a gamble on him and it was worth it.”

Being the first canine to receive the surgery, a team of vets from across the country used fat tissue from Oakland’s stomach and a piece of his hamstring muscle to re-grow his Achilles tendon. He received his last surgery in October and is now approaching a full recovery and back to work.

“Oakland is a work dog,” said Bressett, “and keeping him immobile during recovery was the hardest part, but we are so happy to see him back on his feet.”

Under the supervision of his rehabilitation veterinarian, Trish Myatt, Oakland has been working with underwater treadmills and low level laser treatment to rehabilitate the injury.

According to Bressett, Oakland returned to work last weekend during a training exercise.

“He did an excellent job,” she said. “He has not lost any of his ability, although he has become pretty comfortable spending many hours of his day laying on my couch.”

Myatt, a vet at Eagle’s Nest Veterinary Hospital in Plattsburgh, is encourage by Oakland’s progress and has no doubt he will return to top working condition.

“His drive has a lot to do with his recovery,” she said. “He keeps pushing himself and I can tell that he wants to get back to work. He has spoiled me and I couldn’t ask for a better patient.”

Oakland greeted his public followers and met some new canine friends while showing off the work of the Champlain Valley Search and Rescue K9 Unit at Saturday’s festivities at the Adirondack Museum. Now that he has returned to work, he should see some official search and rescue missions soon.

For more information, contact the unit at 314-6756 or visit their Web site at www.champlainvalleyk9unit.com.

Oakland and his handler Shannon Bressett return to public work at the Dog Days of Summer event at the Adirondack Museum over the weekend.

Saranac Lake hosts Plein Air Fest SARANAC LAKE — Dozens of artists from across the Northeast will flock to Saranac Lake next week, becoming a part of the very scenery they’ll be painting.

It’s all part of Saranac Lake’s Adirondack Plein Air Festival Aug. 19-22.

Plein Air is a Frech term that literally means “out in the open air.” For artists, it means working outdoors, on location, instead of in their studios. Paintings, which could be done in oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, or even photography, are usually finished in one sitting.

“The whole idea is to experience the location and record it spontaneously,” explained festival organizer Sandra Hildreth. “Everything they’ve learned as art students, from books, from colleagues and mentors, and from past experiences becomes very important as time is limited.”

Time is not the only concern, as artists must also deal with changes in the landscape itself as the wind blows, sunlight and shadows shift, and reflections and ripples occur along the water.

Participating artists will pick up their free 5-by-7-foot canvas the morning of Aug. 19 and set up their easels anywhere they choose in the village of Saranac Lake. Spectators are encouraged to come and watch the artists at work.

Each artist will be asked to donate one 5-by-7 piece for a silent auction, which begins 4 p.m. in the Adirondack Artists’ Guild gallery at 52 Main St. The auction will benefit the children’s programs and artist residencies at BluSeed Studios, a nonprofit arts facility in Saranac Lake.

Later that afternoon, the Third Thursday Art Walk is

scheduled from 5 to 7:30 p.m., so spectators will have a full slate of art events to view Aug. 19.

On Friday, Aug. 20, and Saturday, Aug. 21, the Plein Air artists will be free to paint at a number of locations determined by event organizers, including sites within the village as well as some scenic locations with mountain, river, and other landscape views. The list of locations will be made available to the public so they can watch the artists at work.

There will be a “Meet the Artists” reception fromn 5 to 7 p.m., Aug. 21 at BluSeed Studios, located at 24 Cedar St. Artists will bring up to three completed and framed works to the Show and Sale location Sunday, Aug. 22. As a new feature this year, a juror will select paintings to recognize with Awards of Merit donated by local sponsors.

This year ’s juror is well-known Saratoga artist Anne Diggory, an accomplished Plein Air painter. The Show and Sale will begin at the Harrietstown Town Hall at noon, with the 1 p.m. awards presentation, and continue until 4 p.m.

Festival headquarters will be at Borealis Color, 52-B Main St., where schedules and directions to painting locations will be available for spectators. For more information, contact Susan Olsen at Borealis Color at 891-1490, or Hildreth at shildreth@roadrunner.com.

Pictured at right: Artists will line the streets of Saranac Lake village Aug. 19 as part of the four-day Adirondack Plein Air Festival.

Spectators are encouraged to watch as artists paint on-site near some of the village’s historical buildings and scenic landscapes.

Historical Society examines Battle of Plattsburgh WILMINGTON — The Wimington Historical Society invites you to a presentation by historian and author Keith Herkalo entitled “September 11, 1814: The Battles at Plattsburgh” Friday, Aug. 20, 7 p.m. at the Wilmington Community Center on Springfield Road.

For the United States, the War of 1812 is often referred to as “the second war for independence.” Herkalo, using personal journals, military journals, contemporary newspaper accounts, and other original source documents, explains how the battles at Plattsburgh on land and on Lake Champlain, were actually the key battles of the War of 1812.

Karen Peters, President of the Wilmington Historical Society, notes that many area residents of that time period participated in the land battle, including Major Reuben Sanford of Wilmington who commanded a regiment of detached militia.

The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. For further information, contact Karen Peters at 524-1023 or Merri Peck at 946-7627.

The Dog Days of Summer

A guide's eye view of two happy campers on the go heading up the Bog River Flow.

H

ot, humid weather continues to cast a warm blanket over the region. The heat has been accompanied by several violent thunderstorms that have left a path of destruction in their wake.

While the passing storms have provided spectacular evening entertainment with fantastic displays of chain lightning, the heavy rains have raised rivers and streams to spring levels. The lakes and ponds are full again and the fish are active.

Rivers with steep gradients such as the Ausable and the Boquet have flushed quickly, while the slower moving waterways such as the Saranac, Hudson and the Raquette, will run high for a while.

With the advent of these severe weather patterns, outdoor travelers should remain vigilant of the possibility for lightning strikes. Whether biking, hiking or on the water for any purpose, danger is omnipresent at this time of year. Get off the mountaintops, lakes, streams or rocks at the first hint of thunder and there will always be another day to enjoy.

Back to camp “We now no longer camp as for a night, but have settled down on earth and forgotten heaven” — Henry David Thoreau I’ve spent most of the past week in camp, traveling through a series of lakes, rivers and ponds, where I discovered there is still a little bit of that forgotten heaven. My days have been full of paddling, fishing, hiking and swimming, while my evenings were spent around the campfire, telling tales, sharing laughs and shivering to ghost stories.

Camp is a place where we can forgive and forget the inhibitions of regular life. It is a place where we can relax and be free to shed the normal constraints of everyday society. It

is a special place where we can let our guard down, be ourselves and return to our roots. We retreat to camp to escape.

Time slows down, noises become less apparent and our senses are enlivened.

Life is less annoying and we are calmed. Stresses of regular life are removed as the days begin with a rising sun and depart with the arrival of heavy eyelids. In camp, a watch becomes an intrusion that’s better suited for town than for the country.

An old friend and mentor once offered the finest description of camp that I have ever heard, explaining, “Camp is a place where you can spit, cuss, fart and scratch your butt in public…and nobody cares. When yer ’ in camp, it just don’t matter no more!”

It’s been great fun to share these adventures with children and to again experience the pleasures of regular camp life through a younger set of eyes. Any kid that can get away with any of the actions mentioned above, without admonishment, is bound to be in for a good time!

Kids are captivated by the simple chores of collecting firewood, starting a fire or cooking s’mores. Add in a salamander hunt, a frog safari, a bit of fishing and an evening of watching the night sky and you’ve got a recipe for some tired and happy kids. Falling asleep while a west wind blows, the loons wail and a coyote howls is simply a bonus to the day’s adventures.

I have slept with my back to the earth for six out of the last seven days, and I found the experience to be very good for the soul. It is an incredibly intimate experience to sleep in an open camp, with the wind blowing through the trees, the stars sparkling in the night sky and the gentle lap of waves along the shore. In a word, I was “grounded” again and I am better adjusted to life for the experience.

Over the past week, I have camped and fished through the Saranac Lakes, the St. Regis Lakes, the Bog River, Lows Lake and Hitchens Pond. I found the Saranacs rather quiet and the St. Regis also somewhat slow. However, the vast Bog River Wilderness was packed with travelers seeking solitude, which appeared to be in very limited supply.

Regardless of the human traffic, the fishing has been excellent for bass due to a series of passing low-pressure systems. During these ‘Dog Days of Summer,’ a favorite activity is to pursue bass with a flyrod, in the early hours of the evening. Bumblebee pattern poppers have proven quite effective of late, especially when nothing else seems to work.

When the waters grow flat and still, spin fishermen will find similar results with surface lures such as Little Torpedos or Hula-poppers.

Fishing, swimming and camping are some of the finest ‘kid friendly’ activities available and the current conditions

August 14, 2010

are possibly the most conducive of the season. Taking a kid outdoors, whether for the day or a couple of nights is one of the least expensive methods of fostering an appreciation of the environment and cementing family bonds. Surveys regularly reveal that a ‘camping trip’ is commonly reported as the most indelible memory of our youth.

New tools for hunters, hikers, skiers and anglers Outdoor enthusiasts will find a new tool to help plan trips in the Forest Preserve at DEC's Mapping Gateway. The website provides information that allows the public to use Google Earth and other mapping tools to find trails and learn more about the state lands that surround them.

DEC's Mapping Gateway combines existing web mapping applications and map collections with new offerings, such as a full-featured, interactive data inventory and map viewer.

DEC continues to expand the availability of "Virtual Globe" data at http://www.dec.ny.gov/pubs/42978.html that provide a variety of interactive aerial map representations using virtual globe software such as Google Earth.

The Mapping Gateway also offers an extensive series of depth charts that are a valuable tool for anglers. Many local waters are featured, including several backwoods ponds.

Additional new features offer information on boating, bird watching, hunting and accessibility to other state lands.

Instructions are available on the DEC website for those needing information about how to download and use the Google Earth software.
