ALBANY — The state Department of Agriculture is alerting consumers to the recall of certain packages of alfalfa sprouts due to the presence of salmonella.

Snow White Food Products, Inc., a Brooklyn-based distributor, is recalling packages

of “Alfalfa Sprouts” after samples of the product analyzed by the New York State Food Laboratory revealed the presence of salmonella bacteria in some of the containers.

The recall pertains to 3.5-ounce plastic clamshell containers of sprouts. The product was distributed in New York State.

Primary ballots finalized

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Voters across New York State who are registered in a party will have a chance to go to the polls Sept. 14 for this year’s primary elections.

In Essex County, there are several intra-party races being contested at the federal, state, and local levels.

Primary elections in Willsboro will narrow the field of five candidates contesting the supervisor seat, which became vacant with the resignation of Lori Lincoln in June. The winner gets the remaining year of her term.

Four Republicans in Willsboro have thrown their names in the ring for party endorsement and the chance to face Democrat Edward Hatch, a former election commissioner, who was supervisor in the 1970s and will also be on the ballot in November. They include business owner Darren Darrah, former supervisor Robert Ashline, Wills-

Adirondack Farmers’ Market

boro Central School teacher Lane Sayward, and Scott Hommes, son of the late Sheriff Henry Hommes. All five candidates also registered independent petitions and could potentially remain on the November ballot without party endorsement.

One of the most hotly contested races may be for the Republican nod in the 23rd Congressional District, where Watertown’s Matt Doheny faces off against Doug Hoffman of Saranac Lake for the chance to challenge Democrat Bill Owens for his seat.

Senate seats are being contested in both parties with incumbent Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand being challenged by Bronx lawyer Gail Goode. ARepublican primary for the same seat will feature a three-way race between Joe DioGuardi, David Malpass, and Bruce Blakeman.

Republicans will also choose a challenger for the full-term U.S. Senate seat currently held by Charles Schumer. Gary Berntsen and Jay Townsend are the candidates vying for GOP en-

dorsement.

At the state level, Conservatives and Republicans will both select a challenger to Democrat Andrew Cuomo, who will be vacating the attorney general’s seat to run for governor.

State Assemblyman Rick Lazio will be featured in both primaries, where he is challenged by Ralph Lorigo for the Conservative endorsement and Carl Paladino for the Republican nod. Republicans will also choose between Lazio’s running mate, Greg Edwards, and Thomas Ognibene in the race for lieutenant governor.

Five Democrats are lined up in a primary to seek Cuomo’s attorney general position: Richard Erodsky, Eric Schneiderman, Sean Coffey, Eric DiNallo, and Kathleen Rice.

The Sept. 14 primary will be the first elections in Essex County to feature the new Opti-Scan voting machines. Election commissioners urged voters not to fear the new machines.

“Instead of pulling the lever, they’re filling in the oval,” said Republican election commissioner Derinda Sherman. “They take it to the machine and it goes in just like a dollar in a Coke machine.”

Primaries for party committee members and other local positions are slated in towns throughout Essex County. Contact the Board of Elections at 873-3474 for more information, including voting locations and times.

KEESEVILLE

WESTPORT Kyle Page • kmpage1217@charter.net

alking through downtown Keeseville this past weekend, my son and I saw a lot of construction going on in several of the empty business spots on the main street. This is exciting to see. We have had numerous fun treks during our summer off from school and have found a lot to occupy our time pleasantly, but the prospects of new things to explore is always exciting and certainly good for our community. But in order for anything new to survive, it is up to us to patronize it whenever we can. Be curious and check things out; it can be a lot of fun.

We also saw a lot of yard sales going on as this is still the season for them. We also have been seeing the after effects of decent stuff tossed curbside with “free” written on them or heaping piles waiting for the garbage collection. Don’t forget if you have things that are in good usable condition, we have a very active Thrift shop at the Methodist Church. This gives a chance for people in need to get what they need affordably. Also, in times of emergency, the church comes to aid with whatever it has

that can replace what was lost. So before discarding those unwanted items, look at them carefully, and if they are in good usable condition, make that extra effort to get it into hands that can use them to make all the difference in the world to others in our community.

After Thoughts, a local musical group based in our community, will be performing in Peru this Friday at St. Augustine’s for the price of some canned goods to benefit the local food shelf.

This week marks the opening act of Speedy Arnold for The Gibson Brothers at the Essex Fair Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. While an internationally recognized act, the Gibson Brothers have many ties to our local community and love to interact with musicians from their past, such as Speedy. Another wonderful thing about this concert is it is also a benefit concert. The Brothers are performing to the benefit of the Mental Health Association of Essex County.

Plenty to do this week as usual, so have a great, safe time.

ots of fund raisers are scheduled for this weekend. On Friday and Saturday, the 27^th and 28^th , Alice Wand will have a sale of her art works at Peter and Mary Anne Schultz’s “Little Schoolhouse”, which is right next to their house on Main Street. Alice is offering a 20 percent discount from her usual prices, and a portion of the proceeds will go to benefit the ReNew shop. On Sunday, the 29th , there will be a garden party and house tour at the Schultz’s schoolhouse, also for the benefit of ReNew. Tickets are available at ReNew. The Gibson Brothers, a fine bluegrass band, will have a concert on Saturday evening at 7 at the Westport Fairgrounds, with the proceeds going to the Mental Health Association.

"Wolfgang's Revenge," an acoustic jazz and bluegrass group from Long Island will perform on the porch of the Cupola House in Essex on Sunday, August 29th to raise funds to repair the town dock at Beggs Park. The event will run from 5 to 8:30. All

August 28, 2010

proceeds will go towards repairing the dock itself, the stairway, ramp, and bulkhead. Suggested donations are $15 for adults and $5 for children. Sponsoring this are the Beggs Park Committee and Cupola House, and of course there will be refreshments. For reservations and more information, please call either 963-7494 or 9634021.

The Whallonsburg Grange has a full schedule of events lined up for this fall.

Whallonsburg’s own Andy Buchanan, a lecturer in American history at UVM, will offer a series of nine classes, to be held Tuesday evenings starting September 21. Mr. Buchanan will cover the period from 1560 to 1865, from the first European settlements through the Civil War. My fellow columnist, Colin Wells of Westport, is scheduled to give a talk on September 16. The title of the talk is “Potty Humor and History” and I hope Mr. Wells elaborates on this subject more in his own column. You can read about these and other edifying Grange happenings at www.thegrangehall.com.

hat does the phrase "mutual aid" mean to you? On one level, it's exactly what it sounds like. People helping people and getting help in return. This sounds like a very good idea for a community in general. It's one of the reasons, for example, that I love living here in a rural small town rather than in a city. Here neighbors help neighbors, and they know that, when the chips are down, they can call on their neighbors for help, as well.

But the neighbor thing also works on a larger scale. In addition to being a good idea in general, “mutual aid” is a technical term that refers to the agreements that emergency responders in one community have with their counterparts in neighboring communities. Last week I wrote about the recent structure fire at Marks Road, where Westport-Wadhams firefighters were joined by our brothers and sisters from Willsboro, Whallonsburg, Elizabethtown, Port Henry, and Moriah. I was amazed at the sheer number of men and women bat-

tling the blaze in concert as a single team.

Ambulance crews from Willsboro-Essex and Elizabethtown-Lewis also stood by in case they were needed, and helped with routine coverage at the Fair at the same time.

Sometimes a fire or other emergency is bigger than any one community can handle on its own. It's good to know that our neighbors are standing by to help, just as it's good to know that we're ready to help them if the need arises. A few days later, a mutual aid call came over the pager for a structure fire in Port Henry. We would, of course, have done our best anyway. But, speaking for myself, knowing that Port Henry firefighters had just been there for us made me glad that our department could be there for them. It felt good to help, and perhaps I was just that extra little bit motivated.

So here's a big thank you from us in Westport to all of our fine neighbors. We are proud to have you stand with us, and we're proud to stand with you, too.

ow quickly the weather has changed and brings our thought to thinking that the fall activities are just around the corner. College students are returning for another year of schooling. Our local school children have just finished taking part in the Town Youth Summer Program, and then several others finished a week of Vacation Bible School.

Vacation Bible School is a wonderful Ecumenical project of working together for the good of all children regardless of their faith background. It is hard to believe that I found some colored leaves that had fallen to the ground this past week.

It is sad to learn that the town has found it necessary to close Noblewood beach due to the fact that they do not have a life Guard to be on duty. This is such a wonderful beach area.

There was a big Hawaiian-style party this past week to celebrate Mike & Christine McCauliffe’s 30th Wedding Anniver-

sary and a big send-off to their son, Eric, as he is about to leave for college in Hawaii.

The Willsboro Methodist Church women hosted a special Christian Women’s picnic luncheon and program this past Wednesday, with guests from several area churches attending.

It has been great to see a few gentlemen that have recently been battling illness back out and about once again, they include Rev. John Hunn, Tom Gilliland, and Bob Huestis. Hopeful all three can continue to gain their strength back. Sorry to learn of the recent death of Mae Blanchard, a long time local resident; sympathy is extended to her family.

Belated Birthday wish to Dick Blanchard 8/22, Happy Birthday to Mike McCauliffe 8/27, Brian Pythlack 8/29, Makayla Young 8/30, Sheila Vanags 8/31, Cindy Flanagan 8/31, Vivki Dickerson 8/31, Janice Sayward 8/31. Happy Anniversary to Pete & Mary Gload 8/26.

ecently, I read in a community newpaper how shelter staff were concerned that many people are surrendering pets now due to the high cost of caring for them. Unfortunately, it is a reality that our economy is still is a fragile state and many people are either under- or unemployed. The effects of financial strain trickle down to our furry family members as well. A $100 veterinary bill that once seemed a needed expense may now seem like an impossibility. www.aspca.org/adoption/pet-care-costs.html is a webpage sponsored by the ASPCA that provides a breakdown of average yearly pet ownership costs for different animals.

Little Dude The average cost of caring for your dog or cat, with recommended veterinary care, is approximately $580 to $875 per year.

Costs of adopting a new pet, including purchasing of basic supplies, can run from $365$565. Obviously, adopting a pet is a serious commitment. We at the NCSPCA ask that you be certain you are prepared to meet the costs of caring for your pet before you adopt.

If you already own a dog or cat and are struggling to meet your pet care bills, talk to our shelter staff to learn about possible sources of discounts or assistance in veterinary bills or food expenses.

Our featured pet today is Little Dude, a Miniature Pinscher-Mix who has a beautiful golden and caramel-colored coat, floppy ears, and an ever-present grin. Little Dude has a sweet disposition - he is a little on the shy side at first, but once he becomes comfortable with you, he will treat you like his best friend. Little Dude would do best with someone who has some experience with different dogs. We recommend that you come meet him and spend a little time together; perhaps go for a noontime stroll?

To learn more about Little Dude or our many other adoptable pets, please call us at 962-8604 or visit our website at www.ncspca.org. You will find the latest news about our shelter, stories of interest, informational resources, and a link to Petfinder's listing of all of our pets. You can also email us at info@ncspca.org.

Never give up

By Susan Doolittle The following items of note appear ed on this date in the pages of our local newspapers.

TheAdirondack RecordElizabethtown Post 1937 KEENE - Following a three day search the body

of John Edmunds, aged 65 years, of Keene, was found last Sunday when searchers stumbled across it in a ravine in the rear of his home. He had been shot through the heart with a .44 caliber rifle which lay by his side. Dr. A. R. Goff of Keene, Essex county coro ner, returned a verdict of self-inflicted death.

Edmunds had been missing from his home since Thursday night and troopers of the Elizabethtown outpost together with CCC boys from the Lake Placid camp and civilians had been searching the area for him since Friday afternoon when his disappearance was reported to police by Arthur Woods, a neighbor.

The body was found by Woods and Troopers John roach and Harry Carrier . Edmunds was a widower and lived along.

KEENE- When a clown gets aboard a donkey at a circus, and goes through a series of riotous motions to imitate an amateur rider, the crowd invariably rolls with laughter. That is how funny it will be at Keene Valley Thursday, August 26th, at 7:15 in the evening when sixteen amateur riders (they won’t be clowning either), climb aboard a band of skittish stubborn Texas burros and play donkey ball. Now by simple arithmetic, it can be figured that the ball game with the 16 riders will be 16 times as funny as the lone clown. People who have seen the same agree.

The donkeys have been doing this for years, they play with the skill of Ty Cobb, act like Joe E. Brown and do everything but argue with the umpires.

ELIZABETHTOWN - One of the most enter -

taining and colorful events for the benefit of the Community House was the amateur radio broadcast at the Elizabethtown high school auditorium last Thursday night, August 19th, promoted by the Misses Fannie Levine and Vera Giles to an unusually crowded house which filled every available space.

Among those who participated were: Nancy Metcalfe piano; Beverly Burres, tap dance and song; Dickie Metcalfe, song; Don and Natalie Merrihew o f Westport, song and dance; Patsy Mero of Westport, tap dance; Mrs. Harold and Richard Cross, accordion and guitar; Elizabeth White and Ford Ainsworth, Spanish dance; Jerry Gibbs of Port Henry, impersonations; Betty Bacon of Port Henry, Elizabeth Scorsome of Port Henry , song; Archie Hayes and friend, oldfashioned fiddle and jig; Harvey Gauthier , harmonica solo. Among those in the audience who graciously offered their ‘stint’ were: Ottlie Kruger , dance 1830 in costume; Nan Smith, Scotch song and dance; Howard Reber recited the “Face on the Barroom Floor” Florence Ball, songs; Frances Moore, musical saw and burlesque on old-fashioned nickeldeandeon; and Sol H. Goldber g in an exhibition of rhythm with spoons and bones, accompanied by Garen Bohlin at the piano; and the master of ceremonies was none other than our own Harry MacDougal who performed in his inimitable style.

PINE GROVE - Last Friday a force of men cleared the Mt. Hurricane road of weeds, brush, dea d grass, etc—cleaned the ditches, pruned trees and made things look better . They also cleaned the Lord cemetery. Now if the powers that be would only gravel our road so it would not be so bumpy and dusty, we would sure appreciate it.

A

local auctioneer and raconteur is famously known for saying “Never give up, never give up.” He once explained to me that his philosophy had its origins as an auction strategy. If you are doing poorly at an auction the only chance you have to get back to even or better is to keep bidding in the hopes that you will make enough good buys to render null your losses. Often people stop bidding afBy Scot Hurlburt ter a bad bid, and in doing so they have no chance.

As a mantra or life strategy, “Never give up” is as good as anything Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, Dr. Phil or any of the rest have come up with in my vastly limited and humble opinion. Since the philosopher that coined the phrase has no book or CD set that we can purchase, the meaning of “Never give up” is self evident. So, what does the phrase mean as applied to life outside an auction?

Each must determine what “even or better” means to them. Have you given up on your health by gaining weight, not exercising or continuing smoking? It is never too late to quit smoking, lose weight and start a safe exercise program with a chance to get “even or better.” If you have given up on your life partner, it is never too late to discuss with your partner how to get to “even or better.” If your relationship with your children is not what you would like it to be, it is never too late to get “even or better.”

While never giving up at an auction may help you get to even or better, never giving up on yourself or your important relationships has a greater cost and much greater benefits. Forgiving yourself for getting fat or inactive won’t be easy, but necessary so that you can actually see yourself as you are, including the fat. Forgiving yourself and or your partner may be very difficult, even if you apply the never give up philosophy you may not arrive at your ideal relationship, but rather even or a little better. Maybe never giving up is forgiving yourself and others so that you can at least get back to even or a little better.

At an auction and in life, getting back to even or a little better is pretty good. There are many wise people among us, some with impressive letters behind their signatures and some with common sense insights that are equally valuable. Never give up and always give yourself a chance to get even or better. Remember all kids count.

Coalition formed to promote Complete Streets To the editor: The Adirondack Daily Enterprise editorial “Road plans must include bikes,” August 16, 2010 and Eric Voorhis’ recent article “Bike safety is a moving concern in Lake Placid,” August 13, 2010 highlight the vision of the Essex County Complete Streets Coalition. Established in April 2010, this coalition joined the national movement to “complete the streets.” Complete Streets means streets, roadways, sidewalks, and other transportation facilities that are save and accessible for all users, including cars, bicycles and pedestrians. Improvements could include sidewalk and crosswalk enhancements, shared roadway signs, wider shoulders, bus stop facilities, and even trail system connections. The Coalition’s mission is to advocate for and support the development, adoption and implementation of Complete Streets policies at all levels of local government in Essex County.

Research shows that where we live impacts how well we live.

Adopting health policies such as Complete Streets creates healthy environments that promote safe physical activity. The coalition is interested in engaging local communities in policy adoption - a written plan, resolution, ordinance, or other course of action that would influence decision-making and funding when it comes to designing, reconstructing and maintaining pedestrian- and bike-friendly roadways and related infrastructure. These efforts cannot be realized without bringing the needs, interests and concerns of local government, residents, visitors, and other stakeholders to the table.

There is a growing public desire for pedestrian and bike-friendly communities that encourage healthy living, tourism, economic revitalization and smart growth. There are also numerous local and regional plans that support Complete Streets concepts, including the Destination Tourism Master Planning Project, Scenic Byways Corri-

dor Managment Plans, the Hamlets of Adirondack 3 study and the Initiative for Healthy Infrastructure plan for Essex County.

The Coalition’s lead agency is Essex County Public Health and is receiving technical assistance and staff support from the rural health network, Rural Action Now, based in Saranac Lake. Other partners include the Essex County Planning Department, other organizations and individuals in Complete Streets in their locale. Those interested in joining the Essex County Complete Streets Coalition or adopting a Complete Streets policy are encouraged to contact Jessica Darney Buehler at 873-3500 or jdbuehler@co.essex.ny.us.

Gibson Brothers to play benefit concert this weekend

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WESTPORT — One of the North Country’s most prominent bands will be returning to the area this weekend for a special concert.

Bluegrass dynamos The Gibson Brothers will perform at the Essex County Fairgrounds this Saturday, Aug. 28, at 7 p.m. with proceeds to benefit the Essex County Mental Health Association.

“We’re doing this for two reasons,” said George King, board president for Essex County MHA, “first, as a fundraiser, and second, to get information out about the Mental Health Association.

King explained MHA gets much of its funding from the state, but those monies are directed for specific programs and are being cut in some cases. The agency is undertaking the fundraiser to pay for some of the expenses not covered by their funding.

“Our biggest need right now is we have a heating system in the Westport building that’s about to die,” said King.

Brothers Eric and Leigh Gibson, natives of Clinton County, formed a band and pro-

In addition to Eric on banjo and Leigh on guitar, the band also includes Mike Barber on upright bass, Clayton Campbell on fiddle, and Joe Walsh on mandolin.

Speedy Arnold, Keeseville’s jack-of-alltrades, will open for the Gibson Brothers, strumming and singing some of his tonguein-cheek tunes, including “They’re Blowin’ Up the Champlain Bridge” and “I Don’t Play Golf.”

“It’s an honor to open for them,” said Arnold, “They’re a North Country success story.”

Arnold recalled performing at events with the Gibsons when they were just starting as a band. Today, they tour internationally as a widely popular bluegrass group.

“It’s nice that they’ve had so much success and still remember us locals,” Arnold said.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with children’s activities and games. Attendees are reminded not to bring coolers or alcohol on the fairgrounds, but food and soft drinks will be available for purchase.

Mountain Lake mute on staff changes

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Officials at Mountain Lake Services have declined to discuss administrative changes at the Port Henry agency.

“At the current time, Beth McKenna is acting in the capacity of executive director and services in our northern region are being overseen by Melissa Newell,” said Ken Dales, director of service excellence.

Dales declined to discuss the status of Mountain Lake Services Executive Director Dipanker “Dipu” Basu, who has been placed on administrative leave.

Also placed on administrative leave was Mary Savage, the northern regional director for Mountain Lake Services.

“Matters involving our executive director are under the oversight of our board, and it would not be proper for our agency to comment on these matters further,” Dales said.

“As a standard practice, also, we respect our employees’ privacy by not commenting on their employment status.”

Dales said the agency is operating as it always does.

“There has been no interruption in the services offered by Mountain Lake Services,” he said. “Mountain Lake Services continues to focus on its mission to provide excellent services for people with developmental disabilities and their families in Essex County.”

Headquartered in Port Henry, Mountain Lake Services works with more than 500 people with developmental disabilities

throughout Essex County.

The agency is one of the county’s leading employers with about 600 workers. It has an annual budget of about $35 million, most of it from state and federal sources.

Basu became executive director in 2001,

after the death of founder Chuck Hayes.

Basu had been associate director.

His annual salary as executive director is listed as $186,000 in public filings with the IRS. Basu’s compensation, with benefits, is listed at $211,000.

gion, all of whom are attending the North Country Community College for the registered nurse and radiologic technology programs.

Non-traditional students, defined as those who delay entry to college or return later in life for additional education, often have fewer options for financial aid.

“I am in the registered nursing program and, at 49, a nontraditional student,” said Kevin O’Reilly of Wilmington, one scholarship recipient. “Most of us can only work part-time so every little bit helps. It will basically cover my books for both semesters. So this will be a huge help.”

Lake Placid resident Marcy Miller also received a scholarship from SLVHA. “I am a massage therapist at Lake Placid Speedy Spa and working on my RN with the goal of becoming a Nurse Practitioner,” said Miller. “Everyone needs assistance, so receiving this scholarship from Voluntary Health is a huge relief of pressure to pay for my books.”

Other recipients include Kevin Shiflett of Redford, Georgina McKay of Ticonderoga, Emily Doyle of Lake Placid, Christina Barbour, Kyle Munn and Buzz Sawyer of Saranac Lake, and Sarah Doyle of Keene Valley.

“There is a shortage of healthcare professionals, and this is a great opportunity for people to take advantage of a local nursing program,” said SLVHA board member Sue Patterson. “With these scholarships it is our

Renovation of former school receives financing

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — The plan of one local developer to convert the former Willsboro High School into an assisted living home has been granted the financing it needs to become a reality.

Eli Schwartzberg, head of Stonebrook Properties, Inc., announced Aug. 20 that his company was recently approved for a loan guarantee through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development program, which will allow for work to continue on the $6 million renovation project.

The loan guarantee program has expanded tremendously in recent years with a boost from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. It facilitates loans from local lenders that finance up to 80 percent of projects that create jobs and improve economic conditions in rural areas.

With financing now in place, Schwartzberg said, work will resume in December to renovate the interior of the former school and give it new life as a 62-unit senior housing facility named Champlain Valley Senior Community.

An Adirondack native from Saranac Lake, Schwartzberg is a graduate of Cornell University with a Masters of Business Administration from Oxford University and a background in real estate development. He said

it has been his goal to use that expertise to invest in a project that will strengthen economic conditions in the region.

“A lot of developers don’t come up here,” said Schwartzberg. “You’ve got to understand the Adirondacks to do a project like this.”

The 42,000-square-foot school building was built in 1927 and closed in 2001 when the new Willsboro Central School was built.

It became a topic of controversy in the town as it sat vacant and unsold for seven years.

School and town officials had considered tearing the building down until Schwartzberg approached them in 2008 with a plan to purchase and renovate it.

Now the town no longer has to worry about the cost to demolish the old school, said town board member Charles Lustig Jr., and the historic building will be restored as a boon to the community.

“We’ve had immeasurable support for the project,” Schwartzberg said. “I’m really proud of it.”

The project has also been strongly supported by the Adirondack Economic Development Corporation (AEDC). “The impact that this project will have on Willsboro and the surrounding community will be enormous and we whole heartly endorse it, said Executive Director Mike Conway.

Schwartzberg’s development company has already invested in major repairs to the

building, fixing a leaky roof and a broken pipe that had caused significant water damage. He also spearheaded efforts to have the building placed on the National Register of Historic Places, which will allow him to claim tax credits for some of the renovation costs.

The Champlain Valley Senior Community,

2010 LABOR DAY

when finished, will include single- and double-occupancy rooms, a community dining hall serving three meals a day, and possibly a fitness center and indoor walking track.

The facility will target seniors of all income levels, said Schwartzberg, with affordable options for all.

“Eighty percent of the rooms are going to look over the Boquet River,” Schwartzberg said. “The rooms will have 14-foot ceilings, and the original hard-wood, large windows.

It’s going to have so much character.”

Schwartzberg expects the facility to open by the end of 2011. He anticipates about 30 full-time employees will be hired to staff it.

“It’s going to create jobs,” said Schwartzberg. “It’s going to contribute to the Adirondack Econonomy, save a historic Adirondack structure, provide jobs for young families, help keep young people here and provide valuable services to seniors in the Adirondack Park.”

In addition, he said, it will encourage those visiting their relatives at the senior home to also patronize restaurants and stores in Willsboro.

“Everyone I’ve talked to is very excited about it,” said deputy town supervisor Nancy Huestis, noting several local residents have already expressed interest in utilizing the facility when it opens. “It’s going to improve the appearance of downtown.”

Debates From page 1 The Wednesday, Sept. 1 debate will be held at 7 p.m. at the Westside Ballroom, located on New York Avenue on the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base. Both candidates will respond to questions from three media panelists: Joe LoTemplio from the Press Republican, Jeremiah Papineau from Denton Publications, and Pat Bradley from Northeast Public Radio.

Candidates will be allotted three minutes each for an opening and closing statements.

They will be granted two minutes to respond to each question and one minute each for rebuttal.

UNYTEA has already endorsed Hoffman in the race for Congress.

“We are very pleased that both Mr. Doheny and Mr. Hoffman trust UNYTEA to host a forum which is fair and equitable to both candidates,” said UNYTEA chairman Mark Barie, who will serve as debate moderator. “The debate is part of our on-going effort to keep the voters informed about their choices in the upcoming election.”

A similar debate between Doheny and Hoffman will be held Tuesday, Sept. 7, at 7 p.m., at the Harrietstown Town Hall, organized by WNBZ and the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.

Questions for the Saranac Lake debate will come from a panel of North Country journalists. The public is invited to submit questions to these panelists for consideration.

“In order to provide a fair and balanced debate setting, all questions will be kept secret prior to the evening of the debate,” said Chris Morris, news director at WNBZ. Panelists and moderators for the evening include Morris, Brian Mann of North Country Public Radio, Peter Crowley of the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, and Matt Bosley of Denton Publications.

“We’re also welcoming questions from the voting public,” Morris said. “However, questions should be formulated so they can be directed to both candidates; questions aimed at one particular candidate will not be considered.”

Each candidate will be allotted two-and-a-half minutes to answer each question, with 30 seconds for rebuttals.

Both candidates have indicated they will be available following the debate for a brief meetand-greet session.

Voter questions for the Saranac Lake debate should be submitted to panelists no later than 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 3 to any of the following journalists: Chris Morris at news@wnbz.com, Brian Mann at brian@ncpr.org, Matt Bosley at matt@denpubs.com or Peter Crowley at pcrowley@adirondackdailyenterprise.com.

DRIVERS’ SAFETY

ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE

Lunch and Dinner lates

Yellow flashing lights on a school bus means the bus is preparing to stop and load or unload passengers. Thered lightsmean that loading or unloading is taking place. NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law (1174) requires all motorists to always stop for a school bus with red lights flashing on all roads, including multi-lane or divided highways, on school grounds, in driveways or parking lots everywhere.

Each year in the United States about 10 children are killed by motorists who pass school buses which have stopped to load or unload passengers. During the 1994-95 school year in New York State, 9 children were injured by motorists who passed loading or unloading school buses on the right or left side of the bus.

ECH Scavenger Hunt upcoming

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Elizabethtown Community Hospital’s Scavenger Hunt fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 2, where teams will compete in an afternoon of fun, games, and food.

The scavenger hunt has been held three times since 2006, featuring new variations each year.

“We feel we’ve complicated it a lot in previous years,” said event organizer David Scaglione. “This year it’s going to be a little bit simpler.”

Doug Spilling remembered participating in the first year of the annual event.

“I did not know a lot of people in Elizabethtown before the scavenger hunt,” he said, “but

there is something about taking pictures in a bathtub with your teammates that creates a bond.”

This year ’s event begins at 12:30 p.m. with registration and gathering of teams. Teams of four will race to complete two scavenger hunt phases that will take them to locations in Elizabethtown, New Russia, Lewis, Westport, and Keene. Teams will need one vehicle and one digital camera to successfully compete in the Scavenger Hunt.

An intermission between the two phases will feature drinks and hors d’oeurves. An award ceremony will follow and conclude at 5 p.m.

Participation is $50 per person; $200 for a four-person team. As many as 10 teams may participate. Proceeds will benefit the ECH Auxiliary fund.

To register a team, contact Diane Bouchard at 963-4510 or 873-9176 for further information. Those wishing to join a team will receive assistance forming one.

Touring theatre group to perform ‘Macbeth’ SARANAC LAKE — Theatre Group Dzieci will come to Saranac Lake’s Franklin Manor Sept. 4 for a one-night performance of ‘Makbet,’ their creative, abbreviated Gypsy version of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.”

Acted out as if being performed by a traveling band of gypsies, Dzieci's rendition comes alive through words and gestures, dance-like movement and music. This ageless tale is told through the unflinching performance of a handful of actors who take turns trading off parts during the play.

The "stage" is somewhat smaller than the average living room carpet. There are only a few props, several candles, a hand held spotlight used to great effect as the only source of non-candle light, and a bucket.

Actors change roles at the drop of a hat, negotiating the change in the manner of an improvisational exercise. This may, and does, lead to a considerable level of confusion, but the action moves smartly along, propelled by the energy and acting acumen of the cast.

The evening will begin at 7:30 with pre-show libations. Requested donation is $15. For additional information call Jason Brill at 586-1064.

Jay residents welcome mine proposal warily

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com AU SABLE FORKS — Residents in the town of Jay expressed tentative approval of a proposal by one local quarry to put some noisy equipment to further use.

A public hearing held by the Adirondack Park Agency at the Jay town hall Aug. 23 gave local residents the chance to voice their opinion on expanded crushing and blasting operations at the two Jay quarries operated

by Cold Spring Granite Company.

The company expressed interest last year in expanding its operation of the equipment in an effort to process the non-dimensional stone it considers waste material.

At a similar public meeting held by the town last October, many residents expressed concerns about the noise produced from testing of the operations.

Much of that attitude changed at the Aug. 23 meeting, however, where the company recieved praise for mitigating the noise.

As part of their application to the APA, Cold Spring now proposes the installation of 30-foot-high berm walls that will surround the crushing equipment on three sides and insulate the noise from much of the surrounding area.

Most residents who spoke at the meeting said that with the berm walls already under construction, much of their concerns were alleviated.

“It sounded like a 50-caliber machine gun outside my house,” recalled Jeffrey Houston, who lives on Sheldrake Road. “I understand the economic advantages and I applaud the quarry for what they’re doing. It sounds to me that Cold Spring Quarry has gone out of their way to deal with the problem.”

Ed Zalenski owns property adjacent to one of the quarries.

“I am in no way worried about the project at all,” he said.

Cold Spring enlisted engineer Scott Manchester to perform sound testing to estimate the noise pollution to the area. With the berm walls fully in place, he said, noise levels throughout the surrounding valley would not increase by noticeable levels.

Don Sheele, head of environmental engineering for Cold Spring Granite, said the Minnesota-based company had set a goal to put all the material they extracted from the ground to use instead of just the granite suitable for monuments and structures.

“In order to do that, they have to be able to use the byproduct from their quarry activity,” he said.

The waste stone has previously been moved into large piles at the quarries, but Sheele said that by breaking and crushing it, it could be then put to use for roads and construction.

“It’s a very valuable product for us,” said Chesterfield highway superintendent Phil Pray.

Other local highway superintendents and contractors also cited the benefits of the project, which allows them to access material at far less cost because it does not have to be transported as far.

“We don’t make any money off it,” said Sheele. “Actually, we’re giving the rock away in some cases.”

Sixteen people are currently employed at the two Jay quarries, along with four salespeople based in Albany. If the expansion proposal is approved, Sheele said, it could mean adding a few more jobs within the next year.

Jay town supervisor Randy Douglas said the town is in support of the project for the jobs it will sustain and possibly create.

“I also live in AuSable Acres, and I know the sound they’re talking about,” he said, but added he’s confident the berm walls will sufficiently lessen the sound.

Douglas said Cold Spring has been very willing to compromise, agreeing to limit

their crushing operations to daytime hours in the spring and fall months.

“They’re a community-minded company, and we’re happy to have them here,” Douglas said.

Still, others remained somewhat skeptical about what the actual effect of the noise will be, particularly on the property value of neighboring lands.

Chris Haley, who also owns land near the quarries, said crushing could be heard in nearby areas used for outdoor recreation and disturbs the peace and quiet that many residents and visitors enjoy in the region.

“It’s a valuable commodity,” Haley said.

“Is it as valuable as the stone we’re taking out of the ground?”

Written public comment on the projects will continue to be accepted by the APA for the next few weeks. Contact Environmental Program Specialist Thomas Saehrig at 8914050 for more information.

Going to the championships Logan Franks heading to World Ironman competition in Hawaii

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Logan Franks has his eyes on the prize.

The 22-year-old Plattsburgh resident and Keeseville native is coming down from his high of placing 11th in the Ford Ironman Competition in Lake Placid July 24. Logan’s placement, which also included scoring the best completion time in his age bracket, has landed him a spot to compete in the World Ironman Championships in Kona, Hawaii.

The win was one that Logan had been hoping for, but something he didn’t know he could achieve considering he has only been competing in triathlons for about a year.

“I was hoping to be in the top 10 overall, win my age group and break the 10-year course record for my age group,” said Logan, who’s a student at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. “I pulled away with all of them except placing in the top 10. And, I only missed that by two minutes.”

Logan, who is a member of U.S. Marine Corps Reserves, credits his time in the service for preparing him for what can often be grueling training.

“It definitely gave me the discipline to be able to stick with it, that’s for sure,” he said.

Logan returned from a tour duty Iraq in April 2009, and prior to his return, he had one thing in mind — and it wasn’t competing in triathlons.

“I was thinking about looking into joining the Navy Seals, so I started swimming to practice,” said Logan. “I was swimming every day toward the end of my deployment ... then I was talking to a friend about Ironman. I went on-line and researched it, I thought it looked extremely challenging.”

That challenge was where Logan decided to set his sights.

“When I got home, I dropped like $6,000 within two days from the money I made overseas. I bought a new bike and started training literally two days after I got home,” said Logan.

Enlisting the help of Scott Bombard as his coach, Logan subjected himself to training at last six to eight hours a day, many of which consisted of 100-mile bike rides. Many times when Logan felt he was “going to die,” he reached down and pushed himself harder.

“Training is definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life and that’s coming from someone in the Marine Reserves,” laughed Logan.

Leading up to the Lake Placid Ironman, Logan participated in shorter triathlons in Burlington, Vt., and Bristol, N.H., pushing himself to the limit each time. The Bristol race was just a week after the Burlington event, leaving Logan to finish the event even with blisters on his feet.

Keeseville native Logan Franks is congratulated by the crowd after his 11th place finish at the Ford Ironman Lake Placid July 25. Logan is currently raising money to participate in the World Ironman Championships in Kona, Hawaii.

Photo submitted by Dean Franks

“I’ve done a lot better than I thought I would do,” admitted Logan. “I was just doing it at first to see if I could do it.

As I started training more and more, it became not so much if I could finish, but how fast I could do it.”

Logan’s determination is something which makes his father, Dean Franks of Keeseville, beam with pride.

“I broke down in tears when he crossed the finish line,” said Dean. “He said to me, ‘Dad, I’m going to Kona.’ I’m so proud.”

Dean is now in the process of organizing fundraiser to help send Logan to Kona in October. Most recently, the Plattsburgh Moose Lodge hosted a benefit featuring auctions of items donated by area businesses.

Businesses like Mountain Riders, Loreman’s, TwinState and Kinney Drugs, among others helped out with the event.

Donna’s Hair Salon and Arnold’s Grocery in Logan’s hometown are among others that have showed they’re behind Logan 100 percent, he said.

“I couldn’t have done this without the community or my family backing me,” said Logan, who also credited Operation Injured Soldier as a major supporter. “It’s awesome to have not only the best family in the world but also the best community to grow up in and have these people having your back.”

As for Logan’s thoughts on Kona? He’s keeping it simple.

“I hope it’s going to be a good race, but anything can happen,” he said. “Either way, it’s been a fun ride.”

Those interested in helping support Logan in his participation in the World Ironman Championships may send donation in care of him to 1821 Main St., Keeseville N.Y. 12944.

Politicians at Play in the Park

t has been an interesting summer in the Adirondacks; where the weather has been mostly fair, the fishing’s been fine and the tourists and campers have been quite manageable.

Until the downpours of this past weekend, rain had been almost non-existent for most of the month. However, the weekend certainly ushered in a distinctly autumn-like feel to the weather, with cool temperatures, high winds and a scattering of leaves. If this is any indication of what’s to come, fall can’t be far behind.

While most local hotels have reported a downturn in guests this season, many of the region’s campgrounds have experienced a banner year. Across the country, parks and campgrounds have noted a significant increase in visitors.

Sales of tents and camping related gear have also shown a noticeable increase.

Along with all of the new campers in town, it has also been of interest to note a number of high profile, political figures that have enjoyed the Great Northwoods, this season.

In the span of less than a month this summer, the region has hosted the current New York governor for a camping trip and whitewater rafting adventure, while the current attorney general and prospective state governor took his children on a fishing and camping trip in the park.

To top it off, a former U.S. president spent his time in camp, hiking, paddling and mountain biking.

Last week, while whitewater rafting with the Lake Placid Rafting Company, I ran into Pete Burns, owner of Beaver Brook Outfitters in Wevertown. Pete, and his wife Dana, were busy running the rapids after spending a night in camp with Gov. David Paterson and his family. The crew consisted of four rafts, in addition to a huge supply raft.

Pete explained that the governor, a regular guest, had enjoyed a “nice weekend on the river full of camping, swimming, fishing and jumping off the rocks. They did a lot of fishing for smallmouth bass, fallfish and one guy even caught a really nice brown trout. There were a lot of comments about getting away from it all.”

For those seeking a place to get away from it all, there are few places better than the Hudson River Gorge, which is almost inaccessible without a raft. Conveniently, cell phone reception is also non-existent.

In early August, former President George Bush and his wife Laura, spent a long weekend at Camp Topridge on the Upper St. Regis Lake, as guests of the Harlan Crow family.

Mr. Bush kept busy hiking, boating and mountain biking in anonymity, until he was eventually spotted by a group of birders while biking along an old railbed near Onchiota.

Back in July, Andrew Cuomo, the current attorney general and potentially the next governor, traveled throughout the Adirondacks, driving an RV. Although he was on a campaign swing, Mr. Cuomo combined the visit with a few days of camping and fishing with his daughters.

I enjoyed an afternoon of fishing with the whole Cuomo

Obituaries Hal L. Hayes Sept. 29, 1955 - Aug. 20, 2010 ESSEX — Hal L. Hayes , 54, of Brookfield Rd. died Friday, Aug. 20, at his home. He was born September 29th 1955 in Malone NY the son of Richard and Ruby (Clary) Hayes.

He is survived by one sister, Connie Hayes of Wadhams; two brothers ,Barry Hayes of Mineville and Gary Hayes of Wadhams; six nieces and nephews, Robert Hayes, Robin Lamotte, Roger Howard, Joseph Hayes, Cory Hayes, and Daimon Hayes; one aunt, Babe Hayes; a cousin, Scott Hayes; and two great nieces and two great nephews. Hal was an avid outdoorsman enjoying hunting, fishing, and camping, but most all was known for his enjoyment of life.

Calling hours were held Aug. 24 from 4-6 p.m. with a 6 p.m. memorial service at W.M.Marvin’s Sons funeral home in Elizabethtown. Donations in Hal’s memory may be made to the Wadhams Fire Department or to the American Diabetes Association, PO Box 11454, Alexandria Va. 22312.

NYS Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and his daughter Mariah, pose with a rock bass that they recently apprehended on the Lower Saranac Lake. crew on the Lower Saranac Lake and I was impressed with Mr. Cuomo’s knowledge of the local lake, which he had visited as a youth with his father. It was enlightening to learn that he really wanted the opportunity to share a similar experience with his own children.

It was obvious they were an outdoor family, as the girls were not the least bit squeamish about handling fish or bait.

And they were also highly competitive, as a raging battle continued throughout the afternoon for the largest fish of the day.

Regardless of political affiliation, high profile visitors have always proven beneficial to the region’s tourism-based economy.

Visits to the park by political figures are nothing new, a point that is well illustrated by the upcoming Teddy Roosevelt Weekend in Newcomb. A century after his visit, TR remains a tourist draw. The event is scheduled for Sept. 912. For further information please visit www.newcombny.com/TRWeekend.

When President Calvin Coolidge took over White Pine Camp on Osgood Pond in Paul Smiths, the property became an instant tourist attraction, and remains so to this day.

Whenever such personalities visit, their presence attracts attention, which serves to generate much needed exposure for the area. Their visits lend a certain caché to the allure of the Adirondacks. I’d far prefer news stories touting the attraction of a vacation in the Adirondacks, instead of a story about the Hamptons, the Finger Lakes or Saratoga.

Jeffrey F. Bronson Nov. 16, 1962 - Aug. 16, 2010 LEWIS — Jeffrey F. Bronson, 47, of 14 Osawentha Dr., died Monday August 16th at CVPH with his loving family by his side. He was born November 12, 1962 in Plattsburgh, the son of Elroy and Betty (Carey) Bronson.

Jeff is survived by his Mother Betty Bronson and Jack Graves of Lewis, four sisters Colleen Cushing of Willsboro, LuAnn and husband Stacey Pulsifer of Lewis, Judy and husband Dave Kingsley of Lewis, Angela and husband Kurt Williams of Jay, a brother Corey Bronson of New Russia, nine nieces and nephews, Tommy Jr and Tyler Cushing, TJ Pulsifer, Janelle Brant, Kristena and Allie Williams, Briana Williams, Baily and Arika Bronson, two great nieces Sophie and Ella Pulsifer, and special friends Kevin and Colleen Denton. He was predeceased by his father Elroy Bronson. Jeff enjoyed contacting friends on his computer, watching movies and enjoyed the outdoors especially hunting. He was a huge fan of the Boston Red Sox. Calling hours were held Aug. 19 from noon-2 p.m. at W.M.Marvins Sons funeral home in Elizabethtown. A funeral service followed at the funeral home with burial in Lewis Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to the Elizabethtown-Lewis Ambulance Squad.
