By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — If every Essex County employee who has expressed interest in early retirement accepts the incentive package they’ve been offered, there will be a big savings for the cash-strapped government, county officials predicted this week.

County supervisors overwhelmingly endorsed two local laws Monday adopting the retirement incentives for employees who ...See County on page 10

his past Sunday’s anniversary of the Church of the Immaculate Conception was a great success on such a beautiful day. Representatives from the Oratoire St. Joseph in Montreal came down on spoke reflecting how our church was visited by Brother Andre who will be canonized this coming October in Rome. A saint actually visited our area and worshiped in one of our churches which is truly a unique thing. Many thanks to all who made the day such a great success. In several months a book will be available chronicling the history of the church.

Even though the Summer Reading Program has ended at the library Mary and staff are not sitting idle. The summer Art show is now going on in the main section of the library. Many different mediums and many different subject matters are available for purchase with prices ranging from a couple of dollars for small prints or ceramics to hundreds of dollars for larger paintings. Now is your chance to get some high quality art of your own while supporting our local artists and library. Even if not in the market at least stop in any time this month to view the spectacular artworks on display.

This Sunday August 22nd, our very active Chesterfield Fish and Game Club 3-D archery shoot. New members are always welcome, and who knows this could become a new exciting hobby for the entire family. Coming up next moth will be a large sports expo which I will report more on as it gets closer which again would make for a great introduction for interested locals.

This past week my son and I trekked from our home to the open court across the street from the current Keeseville Town offices and St. John’s Church. This was our first time playing on the court. We were very impressed with the condition of the tennis court – it was in a lot better shape than I was I am afraid to say. The basket ball court beside it is also very well kept.

I don’t know who cleans or maintains this facility but what a wonderful thing for us to have.

My son and I had a blast and followed it up with a walk downtown for a pizza lunch and pleasant walk across the pedestrian bridge back home. Again, it is the little things like this that make our community such a great place, and we are so glad to be living here and able to enjoy such great things.

I

expect I’m not the only one feeling a little frazzled lately. That end-of-August exhaustion that leaves some of us longing for the peace and quiet of deepest darkest February seems to have arrived a little early this year.

Everything seemed to happen all at once.

The fair arrived, and left, with a bang. (More on that in a minute.) We had a record turnout for Shakespeare-in-the-Park, where the Depot Apprentices acted their hearts out in The Tempest. Boquet River Theatre Festival put on what I heard was a stellar production of Guys and Dolls, which I’m sorry I missed.

And, as you probably know, we had two fires within 24 hours — the major structure fire on Marks Road, and a wildlands fire the very next afternoon at a camp on Lake Shore Road. I’d just put my gear out to dry from the first fire when the pager went off for the second one.

Thankfully, no one was hurt in either fire.

Two dogs perished in the Marks Road fire,

which is of course a terrible blow for their owner. We had trucks up at the fairgrounds covering the tractor pull when the fire was called in. Irwin Borden was announcing, and he said he just bolted right off the stage to respond. That must have been interesting.

As for me, the past few days taught me something I already knew, which is that I didn’t join the fire department and the emergency squad because I have any great talent for the work. (That’s for sure, to say the least.) I joined because I finally understood how real the need was for more manpower in both organizations.

That need still exists. We had a close call with one member of both teams — a beloved friend and leader who has shouldered more than his fair share of this burden for many years had to be taken to Burlington from Marks Road after pushing himself too hard all week at the fair. Thankfully, he seems to be okay. But the burden of responsibility that he feels so strongly still needs to be shared by more of us.

Rob Ivy • ivy@westelcom.com his coming Sunday, Aug. 22, there’s going to be a huge block party at the Whallonsburg Grange, to show off the building and raise money for a water well.

There will be live music, games, dancing in the streets and my favorite — lots of refreshments.

A full dinner will also be available. At 5 p.m., there will be a minute of noise, so please bring your loudest noise makers and make a din, a clamor, a hullabaloo, a heck of a racket. This does not include 12 gauge shotguns or containers of acetylene, but rather horns, drums and perhaps the odd spouse Old Yeller may not be just a dog. I plan to dust off my bugle and practice this week. The merrymaking starts at three in the afternoon, rain or shine.

The Adirondack Art Association, with support from the Essex Community Fund, is offering two workshops for very young artists. The first will be on Saturday, Aug. 21, with Amy Guglielmo, aimed at 4 to 6 year olds. The second, Tuesday, Aug. 24t, will be with Essex’s own Steven Kellogg and is meant for 6 to 8 year

August 21, 2010

olds. Both workshops are free and both start at 10 a.m. Call the gallery at 963-8309 for more information.

This Friday, the art association will host an opening for its new show at the firehouse gallery, starting at 6 p.m. Come to town, check out the art, have a glass of wine and watch the stars come out over the lake.

The Canadian bicyclists came and went last week, and they loved Essex. I worked at the fire house lunch stop for the tour company and talked to dozens of them. They liked the wide, well-paved roads, the courteous drivers, the beautiful scenery and the pretty village. Many said they would like to come back and explore more.

The second growth of hay in our fields shelters large flocks of russet colored birds. Whenever I drive by on my tractor, they fly up out of the grass, flit furtively away and quickly drop back out of sight. My chatty ornithologist friend thinks they are immature bobolinks, which is a very good sign for this embattled species.

W

ow, it sure was exciting to watch some 2,000 bicyclists pass through our community this past week. This was part of a Canadian Tour Group and this was only the second time they have come down into the states. Glad they chose us. Many thanks to those that came out to cheer them on and ring the bells as they passed through. It was impressive and they were very impressed at the welcome.

The Willsboro population is going down as the campers from Camp Pok-O-MacCready prepare to head back home. Also, a lot of our summer guest families are also preparing to return to their winter homes.

We can truly feel the summer is fast coming to a close, most of our big annual events are now behind us and we will soon see the school busses out picking up our children.

The campaign season is heating up and signs are starting to show up around town.

The big local picnic to kick-off Teresa Say-

ward’s re-election was recently held at Noblewood. The New Beginnings group that likes to go out to eat together a couple of times a month are looking for other interested widows and widowers to come join the group. The group goes to local or area restaurants once for breakfast and once for a supper meal each month. For more information, call Janice Allen at 963-8912. The Sportsman’s Diner treats us very well for breakfast outings, so if interested, come try us out.

The Wells family are excited to be celebrating Tom Wells 70th birthday Aug. 28, as he is the first male in the Wells family in three generations to reach the 70-year mark.

So we wish you a great birthday.

Happy Birthday to Tim Benway 8/21, Barbara Feeley 8/22, Theresa Gauthier 8/22, Rick Strong 8/22, Barbara Paye 8/23, Amie Boardman 8/24, Mark LaPine 8/25, Betty Sayward 8/26, Mike McCauliffe 8/27. Happy Anniversary to Mary & Peter Gload 8/26.

Our featured pet this week is definitely looking for a forever home where he can get plenty of attention. Grant is a midnight-hued, Domestic Shorthair-mix who had very little human contact before he arrived at the shelter. Initially, he did not trust anyone but he has gradually grown to enjoy a scratch behind his ear or a gentle petting. Grant’s golden eyes light up when you talk to him and he enjoys being a part of the activity. If you are seeking a loving cat who is trainable, Grant is the cat for you.

You can see all of our many adoptable cats and dogs on Petfinder through the link on our site, www.ncscpa.org. At this time, we have over 50 cats and 18 dogs who are seeking forever homes.

he dog days of summer are often the same time many puppies and kittens are reaching the age of adoptability. Here at the NCSPCA, we have a large number of kittens who need homes.

But before you adopt, it’s important to keep in mind the same adorable little bundle of fur who won over your heart as a baby, will eventually be a grown cat or dog who will likely be a companion for well over 10 years. Even a small animal such as a rabbit or guinea pig is a commitment of potentially several years. It’s important to give adoption a serious thought before you add that new family member; to bring home a new pet is a serious decision that must not be made impulsively. There is nothing quite as sad as a dog, cat, or small animal who does not receive any attention because their owner has moved onto something else. If you are bringing home a pet

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Congrats on a job well done To the editor: I just returned from the Essex County Fair and hats off to the fair board for a job well done. As a past fair board President I think I tend to see things a bit different than the average joe when I go to a fair. This years fair was one of the nicest I've been to in a long time.

From the clean appearance, to the new vendor building, to the sugar house, consevation area to an outstanding Floral Hall. If you missed the Fair this year try to remember it next year. A lot of people volunteer their time for our little fair that has so much to offer. Thanks for keeping it going. It is an event we should all be proud of.

Paul Stephens, Westport

Thank you to Horace Nye To the editor: My father was a resident of the Horace Nye Nursing Home for the past three and a half years. He passed away last month, and I feel compelled to write a letter concerning the care he received. The nurses, aides, cleaning staff, dining room staff, social workers, and the office staff have been phenomenal! They are caring, loving folks who truly care about their patients and try their best to make the days more pleasant. Dr. Moisan is a wise and caring physician, who explains things to family and helps them make decisions.

When my dad was nearing the end of this life, he was given the most amazing, loving, gentle care and attention. Moments after he passed away into heaven, I was surrounded by loving staff who hugged me and cried with me. Their tears were real and heartfelt, and they helped me through a very difficult time.

We should all be appreciative and thankful o the kind people who work at Horace Nye. It is such a hard job and they do it well. To all of you, my heartfelt thanks for everything!!

Tread softly on my dreams

W

illiam Butler Yeats wrote the following lines in Cloths from Heaven, “I have spread my dreams beneath your feet, tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” Almost every day and in so many ways, young people come in and out of our lives and they bring their dreams with them. Sometimes they are incredibly talented and possess so many assets that, though they still want our adult approval, such is their ability that what they really want is to insure that we do not get in their way. For the most part, however, young people are like most of us, they are average. They possess many different skill sets, they are what used to be called, “well rounded.” Possessed of varied interests and inclinations but often lacking an area of profound interest or skill. As our culture becomes more and more specialized and competitive, will the young people and later the adults that we anoint, become an even smaller group than it is now? While in Graduate School, I became acquainted with a concept developed by Italian Economist, Vilfredo Pareto. The import of Pareto’s Principle or Pareto’s Analysis is that 20 percent of the vital few will influence 80 percent of the outcomes in any given situation. Initially, Pareto developed his theory upon observing that 20 percent of the pea plants in his garden produced 80 percent of the yield. Later Pareto found that 20 percent of the wealthy people in

August 21, 2010

Italy possessed 80 percent of the land and the wealth. Later a variety of economists demonstrated that, worldwide, Pareto’s distribution of wealth was valid. In 1989, 20 percent of the richest people in the world possessed 82.7 percent of the wealth. Columnist, Paul Krugman, later asserted in the New York Times, that the commonly referenced 80/20 rule was invalid because, “the economic benefits of the last thirty years have been focused on the top 1 percent of the population and not the top 20 percent.” If the 80/20 rule is valid and 20 percent of any given population controls 80 percent of the resources, where that does leave the 80 percent that only have 20 percent of the resources to compete for? Are we all engaged in a desperate struggle to become part of the 20 percent that control most of the resources? For some, yes, and some will move into the controlling 20 percent. For those of us who will not become part of the controlling 20 percent, does that make our dreams invalid? I hope not. I believe that it is still possible for anyone to realize their dream or dreams, irrespective of Pareto’s 80/20 rule.

Most adults come to the end of their own dreams on their own terms and in their own time. I would like to believe that our children deserve our intentional protection and preservation of their dreams, at least for a while. We can help preserve a child’s dream by suspending judgment about their dreams and by be-

coming an adult voice of support.

In not telling a child that their dream is wrong, you empower them to explore today’s dream and the many dreams that will follow if they are not sufficiently

By Scot Hurlburt discouraged.

Their dreams are precious, rare and part of our national treasure. Within children there is a diversity of talent and a diversity of dreams. More than ever, children are confronting a culture that is becoming decidedly less organic and more linear with much greater pressure to conform to a future with fewer options in arriving at success. As an adult, you probably know at least one child that looks up to you or you may know many children that look up to you. You may have a chance to preserve a dream, even if it is just for one more day; you will become immortal to that young person. You may be the only adult they know that supports their dream.

The children in each of our individual worlds have laid their dreams at our feet, please, tread softly as it is their dreams upon which we tread.

High Peaks Opera Studio to present recital of American opera and song ESSEX — High Peaks Opera Studio presents “Preachers & Politicians! American Opera and Song,” a program featuring a smattering of arias from some of the bestknown American operas, sprinkled liberally (or conservatively, depending on your politics) with American song.

The program features Metropolitan Opera bass-baritone George Cordes and Tri-Cities Opera pianist Elizabeth Cordes and includes music by such iconic American composers as Aaron Copland, Virgil Thomson, Carlisle Floyd, Ned Rorem, and Douglas Moore.

Audience members will have a choice of three venues to hear this concert: Sunday, Aug. 22, at 8 p.m. at Beth Joseph Synagogue in Tupper Lake as part of the synagogue’s summer concert series; Thursday, Aug. 26, at 11:30 a.m. at Essex Community Church in Essex, in a shortened version as part of Essex Community Concerts; and again Aug. 26 at 7:30 p.m. at Calvary United Methodist Church in Long Lake as part of the Long Lake Friends of Music concert series. Donations are being requested at the door for all three concerts.

ter for four seasons, appearing in Rigoletto, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly. During a 17year career, he has performed throughout North America and in Japan, including more than 70 roles in opera, operetta, and musical theater. He moved to Tupper Lake in 2006 with his wife, Elizabeth, and their two children, where they started High Peaks Opera Studio. He teaches music in Saranac Lake and was music director for the high school’s 2010 production of Li’l Abner.

Since 2006, pianist Elizabeth Cordes has been choral-music teacher at Tupper Lake Middle/High School and directed productions of Bye, Bye Birdie, The Boy Friend,

Seussical: The Musical, and, most recently, Annie. Before moving to Tupper Lake, she spent seven years with Tri-Cities Opera in Binghamton, as accompanist, coach, and director of the education-outreach program.

Elizabeth also spent six seasons as accompanist with Ohio Light Opera and four years as coach/accompanist for opera and musical theater at the University of Akron School of Music.

Elizabeth and George recently performed in revues featuring the music of Rodgers and Hart and Rodgers and Hammerstein as part of the Evenings Under the Stars series in Hingham, Mass.

What factors impact the premium you pay for auto insurance? If you said: type of vehicle, driving and accident record of the drivers, age and years of driving experience of drivers, male or female, your answer is typical of how most people respond to that question.

ALBANY— Former Assemblyman George "Chris" Ortloff was was sentenced to more than 12 years in federal prison following his sentencing Aug. 12 in an Albany court for committing sex crimes.

Once one of the most powerful Republican lawmakers in the North Country, Ortloff was arrested in 2008 after arranging what he believed was a sexual encounter with two pre-teen girls.

The Lake Placid native and former state Assembly Assistant Minority Leader from 1986 to 2006 was caught in a sting at a Plattsburgh-area motel room in which he allegedly arranged a sexual encounter with two pre-teen girls Ortloff made the arrangements over the Internet with a woman whom Ortloff believed was the girls’ mother, although it was actually an undercover police investigator targeting pedophiles, authorities said. Also, prosecutors have cited evidence that Ortloff had traded and possessed child pornography.

Prior to his sentencing, Ortloff claimed to be cured of his deviant behavior during his time to date behind bars, and he begged US district court Judge Thomas McAvoy for mercy. McAvoy characterized Ortloff ’s behavior as “unbelievable,” “painful,” and “scary.”

In addition to a sentence of 12 and a half years, McAvoy fined Ortloff $50,000 and ordered that he be monitored and supervised the remainder of his life.

Several years ago, former governor George Pataki appointed the 20-year state Assembly veteran to a 19-person state Parole Board. Ortloff has also served as the chairman of the Clinton County Republican Committee, and at the time of his arrest, he sat on the board of trustees for the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake. Before his political career, he was a high-profile television anchor and author. Ortloff had worked for News Channel Five WPTZ as an anchor and served as chief of ceremonies and awards for the 1980 Olympic Games in Lake Placid.

While behind bars, Ortloff will continue to receive his state pension – totaling more than $3,000 per month.

Ortloff's sentence was only slightly longer than the minimum mandated sentence of 12 years, authorities said, prompting some observers to question why he didn’t receive the maximum of 15 years.

Law enforcement officials have said that after his arrest, Ortloff cooperated with police, providing information that led to the arrest of two other alleged pedophiles.

County From page 1 don’t meet typical retirement standards.

State lawmakers approved the two incentive packages earlier this year.

Essex County Manager Dan Palmer said if each of the 39 employees who have expressed interest in the buyouts accepts the package, it would mean roughly a $3 million savings for the county over the next five years.

“Under the retirement incentive itself there would be about 16 positions that would be eliminated,” he said. “That’s ultimately where the savings comes from — elimination of positions.”

More than 30 employees have expressed interest in the more lucrative “Part A” incentive, which is designed for municipal and school employees who are five years short of the typical retirement requirements.

The state requires a 50 percent savings over two years for the part-A plan to be enacted in a local municipality or school district. In order to meet this goal, Palmer is proposing the outright elimination of 16 positions that would be vacated by the incentive package. The other openings would likely be filled through internal promotion or the hiring of cheaper, youthful labor.

Beyond the 16 positions on the chopping block, Palmer is also proposing the elimination of 15 other positions at the county-owned Horace Nye Nursing Home and the county fish hatchery.

“Those 15 that will be in that budget will depend on if we contract the kitchen or not, and the board hasn’t decided on that yet,” he said. “These 16 (positions) we would be sure of if they all take the incentive.”

While supervisors mull the future of Horace Nye, Palmer is proposing outsourcing its kitchen facility to private enterprise.

Last spring, public employee unions declined to renegotiate contracted 4 percent raises with the cash-strapped county, which is expected to experience a budget shortfall $7 of million next year.

In response, county officials are planning on freezing the pay of all non-union labor.

Au revoir Vélo Québec sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Michael Deserres of Montreal was most impressed by the people of New York during his 12th Vélo Québec Voyages Grand Tour.

The Grand Tour, a seven-day cycling vacation traveled through upstate New York for the first time since it began 17 years ago.

“It’s a great organization,” Deserres said. “It draws in a lot of people.”

Deserres, who bikes along the predestined route with his friend, Jean Paul Dupre, said both of them have no particular place to go every year, so they choose to ride along with nearly 1,800 people for nearly 500 miles.

However, the outpouring from the people in the area made this trip different for Deserres.

“The welcoming parties in towns, Beekmantown and other villages, it’s been remarkable and it’s been different,” he said during his stop in Rouses Point Aug. 12. “This is what makes New York state different. The people are alongside the highways and applauding. That’s real nice.”

Deserres was also surprised by receiving a pamphlet in Rouses Point of places to go and things to see.

“That’s unique. That’s just so nice,” he said.

“This is the New York state I love.”

Having been traveling to Plattsburgh on and off since he was a child, Deserres noticed it was a different experience from the seat of a bike.

“The Plattsburgh area I’ve known since I was a boy, so it’s like a homecoming to me really,” he explained. “It’s just good to come back on a bike because there’s more time to relax and to see and enjoy.”

To bring the Grand Tour to the area, many people from many businesses and organizations had to step up to the place. Food was provided by places such as Smooth Moves, Sodexho, Ground Round and Adirondack Coffee

Roasters, while organizations such as the Adirondack Boy Scouts and the Compassionate Friends of Northern New York helped things run along smoothly by unloading luggage and serving food.

Kristy Kennedy, an organizer of the event and a group marketing specialist with the Plattsburgh-North Country Chamber of Commerce, was pleased with how things turned out.

“It was a complete community effort,” she said. “Even if it was just something simple like putting a sign in their window or giving me a call, I can’t thank everyone enough … The outpour from the community was just overwhelming.”

When Vélo Québec first announced the Grand Tour would travel through upstate New York, it was estimated participants would spend more than $300,000 in the region, with 83 percent of participants returning in the future.

Kennedy now knows these statistics are true.

“I think the participants loved the area. A lot of them came up to me and said they would be

back with their family and so forth,” she said.

“I can’t even complain about anything. It was an amazing experience and it went off better than I could have even imagined.”

Although Kennedy doesn’t know how much money was spent in the area, she believes it is possible they exceeded the amount expected.

“I just know by people telling me what downtown looked like with the bikes everywhere and cyclists coming up to me at the tourism booth and asking where is the closest bike shop, is there a laundromat, or the beach or where can they go shopping,” she explained. “ They were just everywhere.”

Corinna and Paul Maggy, owners of Mountain Riders, also noticed the people throughout Plattsburgh.

The Maggys worked alongside Kennedy and the Adirondack Visitors Bureau in preparation for the tour, setting up a water station at AuSable Point Campground and volunteering at Clinton Community College, where many of the cyclists slept under the stars.

“It was amazing to see cyclists filling the town. They had a shuttle to the mall, farmers’

market, and the beach so it was great for local businesses,” said Corinna. “All the restaurants were packed.”

Paul agreed, adding throughout their volunteering, they must have spoke to at least 1,200 of the cyclists personally.

For the future, Kennedy said she is more than willing to have Vélo Québec return to the area.

“We have talked to them and thrown it out there that Plattsburgh would be happy to host again and they seemed receptive to the idea,” she said.

Benefit polo match set in Westport

Author Series kicks off

WESTPORT — The Adirondack team will take on Sugarbush in a benefit polo match at The Adirondack Polo Club, Stevenson Road.

He delivers a critical message — changes in personal energy consumption can fundamentally alter the present trajectory of global warming. Jenkins provides a road map for how individuals and communities can reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and lead the way toward a more responsible future.

This event, co-sponsored by the Wildlife Conservation Society, will take place Friday, Aug. 27, at 7 p.m. at the Northwoods Inn in Lake Placid. The Bookstore Plus will have copies of the book available for sale and book signing by the author.

WESTPORT — A fire damaged a five-unit apartment building on Marks Road Sunday afternoon, Aug. 15 and two dogs perished in the blaze.

None of the four families living in the apartment complex were home at the time of the fire, which was believed to have started in a kitchen stove.

The Westport, Whallonsburgh, Moriah, Elizabethtown, Wadhams and Port Henry fire departments all responded to the fire at approximately 4:15 p.m. Meanwhile, the Willsboro department filled in for the Westport department at the Essex County Fair.

According to officials of the Westport fire department, all four apartments in the complex suffered extensive smoke and water damage, displacing the families living there.

Firefighters from five local volunteer fire departments converged on the scene of a blaze off Marks Road Sunday, Aug. 15.

Musical benefit for Essex Town Park ESSEX — An evening of music will help repair the dock at Begg’s Park in Essex.

A volunteer group of Essex residents and a local business will sponsor a special outdoor concert Sunday, Aug. 29, from 5-8:30 p.m. The event will be held at The Cupola House on Lake Champlain, the co-sponsor of the event, located at 2278 Main St. It will feature an acoustic quartet guitar, mandolin, bass and flute, called “Wolfgang’s Revenge” who are based in Long Island.

The Begg’s Park Committee is a group of local residents who have taken the initiative to raise funds for the park. They have already purchased new picnic tables, benches, dog stations, and have installed a memorial plaque dedicated to Barbara Jackson.

“There is a lot of other needed work and repairs, especially to the dock, the stairway, handicap ramp to the dock and bulkhead at the park,” said Donna Sonnett, owner of the Cupola House. “The committee is hoping to eventually raise the funds to repair this wellloved and well-used facility.”

Donations are suggested at $15 for adults and $5 for children.

To make a reservation, to attend, or for more information, call 963-7494 or 963-4021.

Ti Credit Union collecting school supplies TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union began its school supplies drive for area children in need Aug. 16. The campaign asks the public to bring school supplies to any TFCU branch or ATM site, for collection.

“This is a need that we recognized in our area and felt that it was our place to do something about it,” said Greg Johnson, president and chief executive officer of Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union. “We are amazed at the generosity of our local people and businesses.”

Supplies will be collected now through Friday, Sept. 3, at the Port Henry and Elizabethtown branches and through Saturday, Sept. 4 at the Ticonderoga office. TFCU’s ATM locations; at the Ticonderoga IP Mill and Schroon Lake Grand Union, will collect through Labor Day.

Paul Smith’s lauded as veteran friendly

55223

PAUL SMITHS — A veterans’ publication has named Paul Smith’s College one of the nation’s most veteran-friendly schools.

The magazine, G.I. Jobs, recognizes the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace veterans as students as part of its annual “Military Friendly Schools” list.

“We’re honored to be named a military-friendly school,” said Amy Tuthill, associate director of veteran recruitment and retention. “Veterans have played an important role in our institution’s history and their presence on campus adds a unique dynamic. We value their contribution in our classrooms and their service to our country.”

Several initiatives at Paul Smith’s College help veterans as they enroll in college, and make it easier for them to pursue an education. In addition to establishing a veterans affairs office in order to smooth the transition from service to school, for example, the college hosts a New York State Division of Veterans’ Affairs counselor once a month and has started a club for veterans on campus.

During a recent 100k World Cup footrace in Japan, award-winning German runner Simone Stoeppler (left) gets a hug from runner Nikki Kimball of Elizabethtown, honored three times as Female Ultra Runner of the Year.

Stoeppler is scheduled to race in the upcoming 2010 Adirondack Marathon, set for Sept. 25 in Schroon Lake.

August 21, 2010

Runner seeks encore win at Adirondack Marathon Contributed by Laura Clark denpubs@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — In 1997, German athlete Simone Stoeppler captured the overall woman’s title in the inaugural Adirondack Marathon.

While this is certainly a praiseworthy accomplishment, some might contend she held an advantage that day by choosing an unheralded debut event for her marathon run.

But that wasn’t the case. Stoeppler considered Schroon Lake an afterthought that year.

She had been focusing her efforts on the Montreal Marathon, and when the race was cancelled, folks there suggested Schroon

54544

Lake as a backup. Stoeppler was mentally and physically prepared for the Montreal course, but like many other disappointed runners, she turned her attention to the Adirondack Marathon.

The 1997 win wasn’t a shoe-in, as the roster of runners was quite competitive — and the competition heats up each year, which underscores Stoeppler ’s accomplishment.

Despite the footrace’s increasingly stellar field of entrants, including Nikki Kimball, originally of Elizabethtown and three times Female Ultra-Runner of the Year, Stoeppler ’s 3:04:08 record time still stands.

Unlike many winners who feel compelled to defend their record in successive years, Stoeppler preferred to let hers stand on its own — until now.

Stoeppler is scheduled to return to the 14th annual Adirondack Marathon Sept. 25 to defend her title.

During the intervening years, Stoeppler has concentrated on ultramarathons while not working at her job as an employee of Hessischer Rundfunk, a public service broadcaster headquartered in Frankfurt.

She recently insisted she has no illusions of another win.

“I do not expect to break my record after so many years,” she said. “I think you get a bit slower when running the longer distances, but I will try to speed up a bit, so we will see.”

Stoeppler ’s definition of slow is relative.

She has started for the 100K German National Team 18 times at the World Cups and European Championships. In the process, she won six silver and five bronze medals.

In preparation for the infamous Schroon Lake hills in the Adirondack Marathon, Stoeppler plans on competing in a July marathon in the Swiss Alps. After that experience, the Adirondack venue should be a piece of cake, observers say.

Like many runners participating in the Adirondack Marathon over the years, Stoeppler has been impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the local residents who go out of their way to ensure that each runner has a truly memorable experience. So much so that this time around she is inviting her parents to accompany her for their 50th wedding anniversary.

Boating safety classes slated in Plattsburgh PLATTSBURGH — Guidelines to safe boating will be offered at two special classes this month by the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Boating on Lake Champlain is a popular summer activity but, like any other recreational sport, there can be dangers. A course called “About Boating Safely” will be offered for two evenings Aug. 30-31 at the Old Base Marina.

Certificates of completion will be awarded to participants after a brief exam. This course satisfies New York State requirements for mandatory boater education for personal watercraft (PWC) operators. The course is offered and presented by Plattsburgh Flotilla 15-08, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.

“We’re at the peak of the boating season and we consider this safety course essential for recreational boaters, whether you own a powerboat, sailboat, PWC, canoe or kayak,” said

Carl Duford, Vice-Flotilla Commander.

Topics covered include preparations to make before you leave the dock; use of charts and navigation rules; how to handle emergencies; state-specific laws and regulations for New York and Vermont, and much more.

The cost of the course is $30 per individual, which includes instruction and the “About Boating Safely” booklet. The course will be held two nights, from 5:30-9:30 p.m., Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 30-31.

For information about registering now and directions to the Old Base Marina, contact Carl Duford at 643-0956.

Valley News - 23

Geese go away, and don’t come back another day D

espite rampant rumors that the state of New York had plans to implement a massive effort to reduce the state’s burgeoning population of Canada geese, the NYSDEC wants the public to know that there is no such plan.

In an article in the New York Times, dated July 23, it was reported that the state intended to eliminate several hundred thousand geese, in an effort to bring the population under control.

Information that was initially provided by the New York Times was later used by numerous media sources in follow-up articles, including one of my own.

As a result, NYSDEC wildlife staffers have been forced to respond to a barrage of calls and e-mails about the false stories concerning efforts to eliminate Canada geese.

In the village of Saranac Lake, there has been an ongoing battle to control Canada geese along the shorefront of Lake Flower for several years. A family of geese settled on the lake almost a decade ago, and over the years, their numbers continued to grow.

The goose problem is most noticeable in and around the state boat launch in the center of the village, where the park’s extensive lawn has been regularly soiled with their droppings. It has been difficult to walk anywhere near the waterfront without steeping in goose poop, which is extremely slippery after a rain or in the morning dew.

Numerous efforts to eradicate the geese have been attempted by both the village and the DEC, including a major goose roundup, netting and relocation campaign. The village also attempted to scare the birds away by placing life-size, wooden silhouettes of dogs along the shoreline.

Neither of these methods had any affect on the geese or their droppings. The captured geese, which are known to imprint on a specific body of water, returned shortly after their capture and removal. And, they often could be found basking in the shadow of the large black, plywood silhouettes.

Finally, after several years of struggling with the problem, the village has installed a

simple strip of orange surveyor ’s tape along the entire shoreline. The tape is strung between survey stakes, about a foot off the ground, and the previously mowed lawn is now left to grow about a foot high, in a small strip along the shoreline.

Following the installation of the tape, and the tall grass that grew up along the shoreline in just a few weeks, the boat launch and adjacent town park appears to be amazingly clear of goose

poop.

The grassy strip has become a proverbial ‘line in the sand.’ The geese simply won’t cross it. There are many other communities across the Adirondacks that may want to consider similar efforts. The cost is minimal and the public relations benefits are considerable with no trapping, no relocation and no shooting necessary to ensure that there is no goose poop underfoot.

A New Season Begins Although I am still stuck in the throes of a very productive fishing season, I’ve recently been getting an itch for the hunt. Two weeks ago, I went into hunting camp with a few friends, to buck up some firewood and take care of a few other items necessary for the upcoming season.

While we got a lot of work done, the day ended early when the handle of the splitting maul broke, much to everyone’s relief. Our small cabin was relatively free of mice, and other pests, but it was nearly hidden by a huge field of overgrown ferns and berry bushes.

In the past few weeks, I have put in several afternoons on the range, sharpening my skills with both bow and rifle. During this timeframe, I have also found a cool tint in the morning air. It’s probably just wishful thinking, but it is a tint just the same and it signals adventures to be had in the months to come.

I’ve also been noticing that a few trees are beginning to turn, primarily along the lakeshore or high upon the peaks. Although it’s still far too soon to think about fall, it never hurts to dream and it’s always fun to

Although hunting season is a little over a month away, this nice bass taken by Owen Robinson of Philadelphia should serve as a reminder that fishing season is still very much in the present. prepare. The new season begins is less than six weeks.

The realization comes with news that the 2010-2011 hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses and Deer Management Permits (DMPs) became available for purchase beginning Monday, Aug. 16.

Licenses and permits can be purchased at any of the 1,500 license sales outlets statewide. Sporting licenses are also available via the internet at www.dec.ny.gov.

Sporting licenses are valid beginning Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, 2011.

Anglers should take note that the 2010 fishing license expires Sept. 30, a full two weeks before the close of trout season.

Annually, the DEC issues 1.8 million sporting licenses annually through 1,500 license issuing agents. The department also coordinates a hunter education program with 3,300 volunteer hunter safety instruc-

tors providing nearly 40,000 certificates to students every year.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

Hunter education classes planned Hunter education classes will be held in September at the Mt. Fay Fish and Game Club in Lewis and at Moriah Central School in September.

The first will be held Wednesday through Friday, Sept. 15 - 17 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Mt. Fay Fish and Game in Lewis. the second will be held Tuesday through Thursday, Sept. 2123 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Moriah School.
