Farmers’ market keeping food stamps local

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — People receiving public assistance in Essex County now have a local option when it comes to buying food.

The Adirondack Farmers’ Market in Elizabethtown is now accepting food stamps, giving participants in the program the opportunity to buy local food.

Using their social services benefits, patrons can now purchase a wide variety of products, including fruits, vegetables, maple syrup, and packaged baked goods.

“It’s pretty much anything that you can buy in the grocery stores,” said Gina Agoney, the farmers’ market manager who spearheaded the food stamp program in Elizabethtown.

To allow the use of food stamps, Agoney set up an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) machine at the weekly market.

The handheld device looks similar to a credit card terminal.

Youth, families share culture

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — A program that gives overseas youth the opportunity to experience America is in need of more volunteers in Willsboro.

The American Councils, a program run through the U.S. State Department,

offers highly motivated teens from parts of Europe, Asia and South America the chance to study in the United States for a year.

Charlie Lustig, a teacher at Plattsburgh High School and resident of Willsboro, has been a coordinator of the program in this area for five years.

During that time, he’s been able to fa-

cilitate the visits of a dozen students, mostly from former Soviet nations.

One of those students, Marco Bekcac, returned to the area this summer to spend time with his American friends.

A native of Serbia, Bekcac spent his sophomore year at Willsboro Central School where he devoted time to both

ELIZABETHTOWN — Officials of the Essex County Board of Elections said the votes of second home owners are not likely to skew upcoming elections.

In a decision reaffirmed by the New York Supreme Court Third Appellate Division last October, New Yorkers have the right to choose where they vote if they own more than one home.

This means that owners of second homes in the Adirondacks can choose to vote in their upstate elections regardless of which home they claim as their primary residence.

“This is driven by court decisions that have progressively loosened things up over the years,” said Essex County Election Commissioner David Mace.

Though similar court rulings have been made for decades,

this issue came to the forefront again in 2008 during the special election to fill New York’s 20th Congressional District I don’t think a seat. lot of them are The tightly contested registered up race between candidates Scott Murphy here. and Jim Tedisco drew attention to New York — David Mace City residents who owned second homes upstate, many of whom voted by absentee ballots, which were counted in the late stages of the election

Essex County puts hold on Sheriff’s Department hiring

By Jonathan Alexander jonathan@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County may hold off hiring two additional transportation officers for a few months until the budgetary effects of six previous hirings can be assessed.

Essex County Manager Dan Palmer told supervisors Monday, that he is unsure about how the additional six corrections officers already employed by the county sheriff ’s de-

partment will impact overtime costs.

“I suggest we table any additional hirings until I can figure out the impact of the current officer ’s on the 2010 budget,” Palmer said.

Last week, Essex County Sheriff Henry Hommes told supervisors that due to a state mandate, he is required to hire two additional officers.

In response, supervisors scrutinized the request citing budgetary concerns, but agreed to consider the move at the upcoming full board meeting at the end of the month.

But now, the measure may wait until the fall before reaching the county board of supervisors floor for approval.

At present, Essex County employs 65 officers between sheriff ’s deputies, and correctional officers.

In June, the state Department of Corrections ruled that Essex County must have 67

officers.

But supervisors and county officials are wary of any further hirings, as they expect declining revenues and tight budgetary constraints.

County extends occupancy tax hike

By Jonathan Alexander jonathan@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County supervisors unanimously approved continuing an increase of three-quarters of a percent on the county hotel occupancy tax Monday, Aug. 17.

At a special meeting of the full board, supervisors stressed that the move is not a tax hike, but simply an extension of a much-needed funding stream.

The tax is in addition to the regular three percent the county collects on hotel occupancy and was set to expire Nov. 30.

For Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, the extension is an essential method of keeping property taxes down.

“We have used that additional three-quarters of a percent to hold the line on property taxes,” he said. “In my opinion, sales and occupancy taxes are far less regressive then increasing property taxes.”

Essex County Manager Dan Palmer said the additional three-quarters of a percent take accounts for roughly $4 million annually in county revenue.

New York State Governor David Paterson granted home-rule authority to Essex County for the extension on July 29.

The extension prolongs the additional tax until November 30, 2011.

Court upholds Sprague’s candidacy

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A lawsuit aimed at getting one Essex County District Attorney candidate off the ballot has been rejected in court.

Five Elizabethtown residents filed a claim in July, arguing that Republican-endorsed candidate Kristy Sprague’s petition signatures had to be declared invalid because she is not a resident of Essex County.

Incumbent DA Julie Garcia was also named among the petitioners in the suit.

Justice Robert J. Muller handled the case in Essex

County Supreme Court, and delivered his decision Aug. 14. He cited precedents that dealt with the state Election Law. “Based upon this, it is clear ‘‘the only requirement’ imposed by the State Board of Elections ‘is that the candidate be a resident at the time of election,’’” Muller wrote.

Sprague called the trial a publicity stunt on the part of Garcia and a waste of time and resources.

“My opponent was wrong on the law and wrong on the facts,” said Sprague, “just simply wrong.”

Gregory and Barbara Krieger, Nancy Dawson, and

Malcolm and Judyth Martin were the five residents to bring the suit. All are registered Republicans.

Attorney James Walsh, who represented the petitioners in the case, said he was disappointed with the outcome.

“I believe the constitutional office of District Attorney does require that person to live in the county in which they serve,” he said. “I think I provided the judge with case law supporting that.”

Sprague currently lives in Clinton County where she serves as the Assistant DA, but has expressed a desire to move to Essex County before

the November 3 Election.

Sprague won the Republican endorsement over Garcia, who later gained the endorsement of Democrats. Garcia has remained a registered Republican, however, and plans to face Sprague in the Sept. 15 primary.

“I am very pleased the voters will have a choice in the upcoming election,” said Sprague. “I look forward to being on the September ballot

VALLEY NEWS - 3 as the endorsed Republican candidate.”

The two candidates are set to face off in a debate on Thursday, Aug. 27 at 6 p.m. at the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School.

Editors note: Readers may submit questions for the candidates in the upcoming debate by sending them via e-mail to matt@denpubs.com or addressing them to Denton Publications, Attn: Matt Bosley, P.O. Box 338, Elizabethtown, NY 12932.

had a ringside spot at the Demolition Derby last Sunday, on the last day of the Essex County Fair, as part of my "initiation" as a Westport volunteer firefighter. In fact, I was right in front of the stage, facing the grandstand. That meant I got a close-up look at the officials, including our department's own Dennis Westover, who officiated at the event, and Irwin Borden, who announced it.

These two accomplished individuals showed us all how to balance a whole lot of fun with a whole lot of safety. Except for a driver who had minor injuries when the explosive charge for his airbag went off after his car was cleared from the ring (the airbag itself had been removed), there were no real mishaps.

That says a lot about the good judgment of Dennis, Irwin, and everyone else responsible for helping run this event, which is so important to our community's economic and cultural life. Ditto, in fact, for all the members of the Fair Board.

(I'm not sure it says much for the manufacturers of airbag systems, though. I was left wondering how the thing survived a whole Demolition Derby intact, only to go off in the parking lot. Seems a little silly, but I'm sure there's a good explanation.)

Though there were a few small engine fires to put out, the hardest part was staying hydrated in the hot sun in full turn-out

gear. This rookie was grateful for all the advice and assistance he got from his more experienced fellow firefighters, especially First Assistant Chief Thad Tryon, who coordinated our operations, Westport Second Lieutenant Ben Sudduth, who gave me direction very ably, and Wadhams Captain Eric Gay, who was next to Ben and me and generously assisted me several times. Not to mention Dave Napper, who postponed his dinner on the Midway to give me a ride back to the fire house.

In addition to Wadhams, firefighters from Willsboro and an ambulance from Elizabethtown-Lewis showed up to help, and they were much appreciated. All in all, it was a great afternoon, and it gave me a new appreciation of how many people the Derby, and the Fair, bring to town.

We also had a good turn-out last weekend at Ballard Park for the first show of this year's Shakespeare-in-the-Park Festival, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," directed by Lindsay Pontius and Scott Gibbs. I'd like to thank Scott and Lindsay for their hard work, as well as all the talented young actors of the Depot Theatre Apprentice Program who participated. Each and every one of you did a fantastic job! The second show, "Henry V," will take place on Sunday, September 6, at 3 p.m.. I'll write more about that as the date draws closer.

ow, a whole week of summer weather and no rain! It sure made it a great week for the Essex County Fair. Reports are that the fair had attracted about the same amount of people as last year. This is a great place to meet up with old friends that we do not see all that often. The fair takes a lot of hard work on the part of many so hats off to the planning committee for putting together a good variety of events.

The week still offered several community events the two gatherings of the Community comprehensive planning group drew out quite a number of local interested citizens to share their input at to what they felt was important to be in the future plan.

The committee has worked hard to get it to this point and still has a lot left to pull all the ideas together. Many thanks to this hard working committee.

The Heritage Society Annual meeting drew a good crowd as Darcey Hale presented a very interesting program on the history of the Clark Family’s farming, Quarrying, and Ship Building in the early days on the Point. The next Heritage Society trip will be held on Sat.

The tour starts at 10 a.m. and runs to 1 p.m., to register or get more information call 963 7957.

This past week was busy with the Ecumenical Vacation Bible School. The play the “Sunshine Boys” is still playing in Essex this week, several of the cast are from

Willsboro.

A reminder to anyone interested in purchasing a brick with a family name printed on it, which will then be placed on the Memorial Wall at the Visitor ’s Center. The next fall order will be going out soon and all orders should be turned in to the Town Hall by Sept. 15, each brick is $50. The wall is growing and is quite impressive, stop and take a look, it is on the back patio area.

Another one of our local young men, Morris King III, is serving in the Air Force, presently in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Our pride and blessing goes out to all of our military that is serving to make this a safer world.

Glad to learn that Bev Sodaro has been visiting this past week with her Daughter, Lisa Boardman and family. It was great to see Florence Hathaway in town for a short visit this past week. This week have heard of several of our summer guest are packing up to head back to their winter quarters.

This is a sure sign the summer is fast coming to a close.

Twice the Fun: Double-Coupon Days L

ast week, I mentioned that pairing dollar coupons with dollar sales at the grocery store are one of my favorite ways to get items for free. Another easy way? Double-coupon days.

Coupon "doubling" occurs when a store matches a coupon's face value and passes the added bonus savings on to you, the shopper. Here's how it works. When you go to the checkout and hand the cashier a 50-cent coupon during double-coupon days, the cashier scans it and the cash register automatically doubles the value of that coupon to $1. You receive a dollar savings on one item with one 50-cent coupon.

Grocery stores handle double-coupon promotions differently. Some stores double coupons up to a certain amount every day. Others offer double-coupon promotions on certain days of the week or certain weeks of the month. Still others offer double coupons on some days and triple coupons on others. During a triple-coupon promotion, a 50-cent coupon is worth $1.50.

These sales are definitely worth checking out because stores that double coupons make it very easy for shoppers to get groceries for free or at big discounts. However, in my experience, many stores have specific rules for the ways they double coupons. You'll want to refer to your store's coupon policy to determine exactly how your store handles these promotions. Visit the store's Web site for the information or ask for a copy of the guidelines next time you're shopping.

For example, one national grocery store chain will double all coupons worth up to 55 cents every day of the week. Another national chain doubles coupons up to $2 each, but they only run this promotion for one week each month. Some stores will double Internet coupons, others won't. It's important to find out exactly how your store handles doubles so that you aren't disappointed at the checkout.

Let's go back to our example from last week, the "dollar sale" at the grocery store. Our store has many items on sale for $1, including cans of soup, toothbrushes and bags of frozen vegetables. Our store also doubles coupons up to $1 in value. How can we get things for free? Well, any coupon with a value of 50 cents will automatically be doubled to $1. I have a 50-cent coupon for the soup, a 55-cent

coupon for the toothbrush and a 75-cent coupon for the vegetables. With those three coupons doubling in value, I'll be taking home a can of soup, a toothbrush, and a bag of frozen veggies all free.

It's important to note, too, that coupons typically do not double over the value of the item. This is different from the way some stores handle "overage," which is

By Jill Cataldo when your coupon's value exceeds the cost of the item you're buying. At many stores, using a $1 coupon on an item that is on sale for 75 cents will not only give you that item for free, it will also take an extra quarter off your total purchase. This is the overage value that was left over after your $1 coupon paid for your 75-cent item. However, when a store offers double coupons, they're matching the coupon's value out of their own pocket. So, using a $2 coupon on a $3.79 bottle of spray cleaner will get you the cleaner for free, as the coupon doubles up to $4, but it will not give you that extra 21 cents in overage. However, you'll be taking items home for free, and who doesn't love that?

Now, don't fret if you no stores double coupons in your area. Coupon doubling tends to be a regional phenomenon. Here in the Chicago area, none of our grocery stores double coupons, ever! The closest stores that do are 45 minutes from where I live. (And yes, I take "coupon field trips" to them on occasion.) But I do the bulk of my weekly shopping in a store that does not double coupons, and I still manage to cut my bill by half or better with coupons each week.

Criticism of Garcia unfounded

It seems like most of the focus is on the fact that Kristy Lives in Clinton County. Where was Ms. Garcia living four years ago? Let me think—Warren County! I am a professional in this community, I have four children, and I am honored to know and support Kristy Sprague.

I have watched Essex County go from a unit working together to a DA’s office falling apart! Maybe that’s why the Republican party is not backing Ms. Garcia; they know that she hasn’t and cannot do the job. So, everyone, take a good look around, talk to the people that work alongside Ms Garcia. Take a look at what has been shoved under the carpet or slipped through the cracks because of irresponsibility and lack of knowledge. Do we want another four years of this?

I think not!

To the editor: This letter is for the residents of Essex County. I have known the Republican Endorsed candidate all of my life and there is no one more qualified for the job than her.

Kristy Sprague not only has the brains for the job, but also the brawn.

She has experience in the courtroom that surpasses her opponents. Her record speaks for itself, her values impeccable and her drive and focus unmatchable.

Kristy not only has worked in the DAs office for over 11 years but has been the Chief Assistant DA for the past eight years. She has an amazing relationship with the Police, Sheriffs and other community resources. She has set up a resource center for those children who have been abused to be able to come and interact with people who understand and are there to speak for them, to give them a voice, to get justice served.

I have been a resident of Essex County all of my life and never have I been more appalled at the dirty antics that are being thrown by Ms. Garcia. Kristy, on the other hand, wants Ms. Garcia to be on the poll, because she wants the people to have an open government, to have a say in what the future holds for all of us. We are wasting time, effort and money on the fact that Julie Garcia is running scared.

Pharming: A new threat to youth

T

eenagers are abusing prescription drugs at a higher level than just a few years ago. Just as many teens get their alcohol from their parents, they are also getting prescription drugs from their parents. “Pharming,” short for pharmaceutical parties or prescription drug parties, is becoming more common.

As our larger culture ages, pain medicines are used more frequently in the home. Typically, young people are not in need of pain medications other than for the occasional accident or medical procedure. They don’t have arthritis, sore joints, lower back pain or neck pain, all fairly common maladies that confront large numbers of adults. Pain management is often aimed at people that are out of their teens and the medications that address chronic pain are often abused by teens and twenty-something’s at ”pharming parties.”

Adding to the danger of abusing prescription drugs is that many young people are consuming alcohol at the same time. Alcohol can act with prescription drugs to produce sometimes fatal results. A number of high profile celebrity deaths punctuate the threat of mixing prescribed medications with other drugs or alco-

hol. Marilyn Monroe’s, Heath Ledger’s and Michael Jackson’s deaths probably resulted from a mixture of prescribed medications with other drugs or alcohol.

According to the Partnership for a Drug Free America, abuses of prescription medications are so widespread that their use is “normalized” among youth. Nearly one in five youth now report using prescription medications to get high. Two in

By Scot Hurlburt five teens reported that the use of prescription drugs was safer than illicit drug use. Far too many teens have a false sense of security when it comes to prescription drug use. One third of teens reported that using prescription drugs to get high once in a while is safe or OK. Two thirds of prescription abusing teens reported that they easily got prescription medications from their parents’ medicine cabinets.

Youth report that some medications are available through the internet with its loosely defined restrictions.

Many parents don’t know about the risks presented by “pharming” or possibly, what it is. While numbers are not conclusively available, it is believed that few parents talk to their children about prescription drug abuse. About ninety percent of adults state that they have warned their children about illicit drug and alcohol use. Only thirty percent of teens say they learn about the dangers of drugs from their parents. That is a significant gap and information sources outside the family become especially important given the information gap around drugs. The good news is that youth that learn about the dangers of drugs from their parents are fifty percent less likely to use drugs.

Parents, go to the internet. Learn about this issue. Talk to your child in a reasonable manner about your concerns. Your caring words are very important to your children; they want to hear from you. Learn what medications are subject to abuse. Learn how to secure narcotic medications and how to dispose of them safely when unused by you. If parents let their children know that they are concerned about this dangerous practice and act responsibly in handling prescription drugs, prescription drug abuse may be a temporary blip on the screen. Remember, all kids count.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Paul Francis Hackett, a lifelong educator from Elizabethtown, NY, died August 14, 2009.

Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts on July 27, 1926, he was the son of Joseph and Eileen Murphy Hackett. He was a citizen of the Greatest Generation.

After graduating from Belmont High School in 1944, Paul volunteered to serve his country as an enlisted man in the US Navy during the Second World War. After attending Naval Training at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, Paul served as a LCM Coxswain on the USS Wheatland in the Pacific theater of operations. He later piloted a landing craft for the US Navy and was among the first US troops to land on the Japanese mainland.

After the war, Paul completed a Bachelors Degree in Physical Education at Arnold College. He later achieved a Masters Degree from the Boston Teachers College and a Certificate of Advanced Study in Administrative Science from the University of Connecticut.

In 1951, following an exciting cross country journey, Paul took his first teaching position in Merced, California. Over the years, he functioned as the Principal, History Teacher, Phys Ed instructor, Coach and "jack of all trades" at a very small school located in White Mountain, New Hampshire.

He was also the Headmaster at the Dewey School in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, a Principal at Queensbury Elementary School, in Queensbury, NY and finished his career as the Director of Student Teaching at Plattsburgh State University College, where he worked for 37 years.

An educator for over half a century, Paul took great pride in the profession and was always honest with his students.

He helped generations of educators achieve their degrees and worked hard to find them placement upon graduation.

Paul knew a good teacher when he saw one and wasn't afraid to tell others to seek alternative occupations. Three of his children graduated with degrees in education.

Paul was a wonderful father to his five children and a great, grandfather to his nine grandchildren. He was a consummate sports fan, who favored the Boston Bruins, the Red Sox, the Celtics, the NY Giants and the Plattsburgh State Cardinals Hockey Team. His coaching background was evident whenever he entered an ice arena, which he often did when his children and later, grandchildren laced up their skates.

Undoubtedly, the greatest love of his life was his wife, Mary Elizabeth Byrne Hackett, who he married on August 25, 1951. He was preceded in death by Mary, who departed on July 11, 2007. After being together for 56 years, they are now happily reunited behind the Pearly Gates.

Paul is survived by his children, Malachy Hackett of Elizabethtown, NY; Eileen Hackett of Pendelton, Ind.; Joseph Hackett, his wife Maria and granddaughters Willow and Meadow of Ray Brook; Elizabeth Hackett of Willsboro and grandchildren Corey, Mary and Malachy; and Paul Hackett, Jr., his wife Lisa and grandchildren Olivia, Hannah, Cameron and Madelyne of Red Hook.

A funeral mass was celebrated at St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church in Elizabethtown on Friday, Aug. 21, at 11 a.m. with a memorial service following at the church hall. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Paul's name to the American Heart Association. The family will be participating in the Plattsburgh Start Heart Walk, on Saturday Sept. 26 and welcomes Paul's friends to join them at this event. For more information call 643-9760. W.M.Marvins Sons funeral home in Elizabethtown NY, is in charge of arrangements. For online condolences, visit www.wmmarvins.com

and proved to be thedifference in giving Murphy the lead.

Mace said second homeowner votes probably won’t play as big a role in the anticipated special election for the 23rd Congressional District seat.

“My sense is, and it’s a vaguely informed sense, is that it’s less so up here because we’re that much further away from the population centers.”

Although a great deal of second homeowner votes supported Murphy in the 2008 race, Mace said it’s not fair to say whether second homeowner votes tend to lean Democrat or Republican.

“That would require a detailed analysis,” he said.Mace also said the Board of Elections is equipped to prevent second homeowners from filing duplicate registrations.

“If it’s in New York State, it’s automatic,” said Mace. “If you register here, your information is electronically transmitted to the State Board of Elections.”

If their primary residence is outside the state, he said, the Board of Elections in that state is contacted. Still, he stressed that there won’t be a lot of participation by second homeowners located.

“I don’t think a lot of them are registered up here,” Mace said.

Jay roadways get overhaul

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com JAY — Two state highways leading into the village of Jay are getting a muchneeded facelift.

The state Department of Transportation has begun work on a section of Route 86 just west of the intersection with Route 9N. Work began on Aug. 17 and is expected to be finished by the end of the week.

The project was a high priority after a large culvert collapsed under the road on July 3. A temporary repair using a metal plate allowed the road to stay open until more extensive work can be done.

“We’ve been after the DOT for a couple of years to

try and get work done on that road,” said Jay town supervisor Randy Douglas.

Work included replacing the old culvert with a new reinforced concrete pipe 54 inches in diameter, restoring the substructure and pavement.

The section of road remained closed during construction. Working with the town, the DOT set up detours on Springfield Road for traffic to and from Wilmington and determined special routes for residents and emergency vehicles to access the closed section of road.

Douglas said the road closure may be inconvenient for some, but was necessary.

“It was a safety issue,” Douglas added, stating that

the road had been undermined by deteriorating culverts, a problem exacerbated by the rainy summer.

In the neighboring town of Black Brook, another major travel route is is undergoing repairs as well.

A 0.6 mile section of Route 9N in AuSable Forks, adjacent to the bridge leading into Jay, will be reconstructed using $2.5 million from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. “It’s been needed for years,” said Douglas, who said requests have been made for repairs to that road for nearly 20 years. “This was something Ron Stafford was working on when he was alive and in the Senate.”

Locals unnerved by APA survey Agency defends photographing sites

By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Local government officials in the southern Adirondacks are criticizing the Adirondack Park Agency’s recent surveying tactic of photographing private property along waterway shorelines, characterizing it as an invasion of privacy.

But APA officials defended their actions this week, calling the survey technique as merely a method of establishing a muchneeded database.

But area officials say the agency may be gathering evidence for future enforcement actions against property owners for land-use violations that they haven’t yet committed.

According to APA Deputy Director of Planning Jim Connolly, the agency has been taking pictures of in-park shorelines from boats for the past two years. So far, the shorelines of 33 lakes have been photographed – with a special focus on the structures built on lakeside private property.

“It is providing us with a better database of what is on the shorelines of lakes within the park – a database of facts,” Connolly said. “It is an important practice for the agency when it comes to permitting and the protection of shorelines.”

But to Adirondack Local Government Re-

view Board Executive Director Fred Monroe — supervisor of the Town of Chester — the float-by photography reeks of “big brother” government.

“The APA is photographing private residences with the direct purpose of collecting evidence for future enforcement actions against citizens,” he said. “This is going on without probable cause or any other reasoning.”

APA Board of Commissioners Chairman Curt Stiles said that the practice has been discussed several times in agency meetings, although not with a great deal of fanfare.

Agency Legal Counsel John Banta noted that the primary intent of the survey is to establish a baseline of where the region’s shorelines stand at present and that the practice is legal and appropriate.

Banta argued that using the photographs for enforcement would be an atypical application – but is not out of the question.

“Enforcement applications are not the primary goal,” Banta said. “But I am not going be naive about it either.”

But for Monroe — whose property on Brant Lake was recently photographed — and his local government peers, the survey is just an example of government trampling on people’s privacy.

“I had no idea who they were: the FBI, CIA, terrorists,” he he said. “I can just see this as something that is going to pit neighbor against neighbor for years to come and will have no redeeming value.”

Hosts From page 1 academics and athletics.

“I did everything; soccer, basketball, rugby,” he said. “I made a lot of friends here.”

Bekcac said he was excited when he first learned about his acceptance into the American Councils program, which is known for being highly selective. Students must demonstrate English proficiency, academic performance and maturity to participate. If chosen, they receive a scholarship that pays for their travel, school enrollment, and a small monthly stipend.

“These kids are like the cream of the crop in their countries,” said Wanda McKenna, whose family hosted Bekcac during the 2007-2008 school year. “They’re a joy to have around.”

McKenna said the decision to be a host family was rather spontaneous, but one she is glad to have made.

“It was a fantastic experience,” she said. “He just fit right into our family. We could not have had a better match than Marco.”

During his time here, Bekcac experienced some aspects of American culture that were previously foreign to him, like traditions surrounding Christmas and Halloween.

“We were carving pumpkins, and Marco came in and said ‘what are all the squash doing in the house?’” McKenna joked.

Likewise, he helped debunk misconceptions about his own country, providing a valuable cultural exchange for both his peers and host family. Bekcac said he hopes future host families will appreciate the same experience.

“If they’re willing to learn about how other people live, they will probably learn how fortunate they are,” he said.

Last year, seven participants in the program were hosted by families in and around Willsboro. Four students are poised to come to the area for this school year, but the list of volunteer host families is short, said Lustig.

“When they’re accepted, they feel like they’ve hit the lottery,” said McKenna. If no host family is found for the students, however, their visit is delayed for weeks or even months.

“It doesn’t have to be a family that has kids in high school or college,” said Lustig, who suggested that hosting an exchange student might be a nice change of pace for retirees. Families don’t have to be in Willsboro, either, he said, as other schools have opened their doors to American Councils participants.

“Most schools like to have foreign exchange students to create more diversity,” he said.

Those interested in becoming a host family for American Councils should contact Lustig by e-mail at clustig1@yahoo.com or by phone at 963-7789.

Brothers Inc. of Plattsburgh, are provisions to replace storm drainage and add landscaping and aesthetic treatments. It is expected to be completed in the fall of 2010.

“Anything they can do to improve the gateway to our main street is more than welcome,” said Douglas.

Of the $1.1 billion in federal stimulus funds New York State received for highway and bridge projects, a total investment of $34 million in is expected to be certified for North Country communities.

"Highways that traverse and link the scenic, closeknit communities of the North Country are important to the area's vitality and identity,” said DOT Region 1 Director R. Carey Babyak.

“This project will provide a safe, functional highway that blends in with, and becomes part of, the community it serves."
