Holy Name celebrates 100 years

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com AU SABLE FORKS — The Main Street of Au Sable Forks was alive with visitors and locals lining to see the parade on Labor Day. The parade doubled as a 100 year celebration for the

St. Mary’s School in AuSable Forks, as the Catholic Community of Holy Name and St. Matthew’s Parish held the 2012 Labor Day Celebration to benefit the school.

The school sponsored the event to celebrate the 100th year of educational services offered by Holy Name

School serving the residents in the towns of Black Brook and Jay as Well as surrounding areas of Keeseville and Peru.

Bishop Terry LaValley of the Diocese of Ogdensburg served as Grand Marshall for the parade and the voice of the event was Town of Jay

Supervisor Randy Douglas.

The day’s activities began with the Labor Day Parade, which proceeded down Main St. to the Holy Name Church ground. The Norwood brass Fireman’s Band set the tone for the parade and the days event’s by CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

KEENE — One year ago, Gov. Andrew Cuomo stood in front of the Keene Firehouse and said that it would be rebuilt.

On Aug. 29, Cuomo followed through on that promise by issuing $640,000 in funding to the town of Keene in order to start the construction on the new building, which will be located in the hamlet across from Stewart’s.

“We know that there was a shortfall when the anticipated funding from FEMA was not approved,” Cuomo said in a press conference at the site where the firehouse will be built. “We are going to help you cover that shortfall so you can build the firehouse that you need in Keene.”

The $640,000 is broken up into $300,000 needed to purchase the new land for the site and the $340,000 that was lost in FEMA funding.

Both came through the state Office of Community Renewal.

“We had a problem here that the money that was supposed to be coming was no longer coming,” state Senator Betty Little said. “So we reached out to our friend, the Governor, and he once again came to help.”

In announcing the award, Cuomo said that he could remember two things clearly about the past year.

“The first image that will always stay in my mind is the devastating power of mother nature,” Cuomo said. “Streams and brooks rose up and consumed buildings, cutting the old CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Keeseville mayor speaks against dissolution

By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — The time for the Keeseville Village Board to decide the village’s future is drawing near.

On Aug. 28, a presentation hosted by Wade Beltramo, a general counsel from the New York Conference of Mayors, addressed questions and concerns regarding the process of village dissolution in New York state.

Residents attending the meeting mostly voiced concerns over how water and sewer services will be handled if Keeseville were to dissolve into the towns of Chesterfield and Au Sable Forks.

Beltramo stressed that those concerns were valid, and that they should be addressed before a decision is made.

Currently, a dissolution study board comprised of village and town officials and residents, is drafting dissolution options for the village.

The purpose of the study board is to present an unbiased plan to the village board, who will then vote on whether to proceed based on the plan.

If the board decides to move forward, dissolution of the village will be put to a vote by village residents.

If the board decides not to move forward a petition, which must be signed by 10 percent of village residents, or about 109 signatures, can force a dissolution vote among residents.

Members of the village board are supposed to remain neutral until the dissolution study board presents its plan for a vote.

But not everyone on the village board is staying neutral.

Keeseville Mayor Dale Holderman spoke up at the meeting and quoted Thomas Jefferson, who Holderman said believed that funds should stay close to the community.

“I was neutral all the way up until the last meeting,” Holderman said. “I wanted to see what the cost savings were, and how services

Holderman would be provided outside of a village government, and I just don’t feel that the savings are worth what you’re going to lose.”

Holderman said that his role in the committee will not be compromised by his bias that the village should not dissolve, and that he will continue to look after village residents’ best interests.

He is afraid, though, that those best interests don’t align with dissolution.

“I’m going to continue to try to make the study and the plan the best that I can for the taxpayer, because ultimately, it’s up to them.” Holderman said. “The thing I don’t like about the dissolution process is that even with all the intermunicipal agreements and the pre-planning you can have, nobody is held to it by law.”

After years of struggling with empty store fronts, a bad reputation and a lack of activity along Front Street, the village’s main hub, Hold-

erman also said that Keeseville is finally starting to improve, and that the village has been on an encouraging course over the past year.

Despite the progress, Holderman acknowledged that there is still a lot of work to do to improve Keeseville, and he said he already has plans.

“I’m on Front Street now, and I see the architecture and the flower boxes under every tree, and it’s gorgeous,” Holderman said. “Let’s just step it up a little. That’s really what’s in the works now.”

The village is currently looking into getting the civic center up and running, getting new sidewalks for Front Street, creating a river walk and a trail from Keeseville to Ausable Chasm.

“If we don’t dissolve, one of the next places we’re going to go is our zoning laws, to bring them up to date,” Holderman said. “We’ve also gone into depth on our water systems and efficiencies there.”

Overall, Holderman said he believes Keeseville needs time to grow on its own.

“I own two businesses. I don’t need this job,” Holderman said. “I took this mayor ’s job for the specific purpose of promoting the idea of turning our community around.”

Bartley, Fenimore at odds over town direction, prompting resignation

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The continuing feud between the Elizabethtown town supervisor and a now-former councilman may have reached its boiling point.

In a pair of letters to the editor to the Valley News and other media outlets, Kenneth Fenimore announced that he was resigning from his post on the Elizabethtown council because he felt the board was not being run properly.

Fenimore also claimed Supervisor Margaret Bartley was making back-door deals without consulting with the board, including re-assessing the town sewer project and hiring a new firm to install water meters in the town.

“Not all actions on very important issues have been able to be resolved in a true board fashion,” Fenimore said. “Issues have been discussed outside of the town office instead of in true town board form and fashion.”

Bartley answered back, saying that she felt the town and board were running properly.

“This is an ongoing issue — an ongoing difference of opinion,” Bartley said. “I don’t think that this is just about water meters or a sewer system.”

In his second letter, Fenimore stated that he felt Bartley had done a backroom deal with AES services and contracted with them for water meter installation services. He claimed that the project should have been awarded to Jack Dodson, who had already been working on the water project.

“He had been working on this through the summer and without any board discussion, a bid from a different group was sought and then accepted,” he said. “There 35 Years Experience was never any discussion to do All harvesting supervised by foresters. this, to go out for bids. The board Advanced payment available. needs to debate these things before they happen. There needs to Timber Harvesting • Land Clearing. be a resolution and as second followed by a vote to go out for bid.”

Bartley said that while the me-

son after the vote had happened,” she said. “If you are representing the town on one hand and then acting as an agent on the other, I would think that you should recuse yourself from the matter. I also hear that there have been some who are using their connection to try and change the vote, but it has already happened.”

‘War of words’

Bartley said that she felt that she needed to say something after Fenimore’s letters were printed but did not want to get into what she felt was a “war of words.” She added that she felt it was unfortunate that Fenimore decided to resign.

“Ken has a lot of knowledge and skills that he could use to help the town,” Bartley said.

“I am sorry that he feels that he cannot do that.”

Fenimore felt that his resignation was the best chance that he had to effect change.

“I have been trying in recent months to get the issues that I feel need to be addressed before the town board, and I have failed in that,” Fenimore said. “My feeling was that the way things are going now was going to continue, and the only way I was going to be able to make the public aware was to make some

noise. The most effective way I could think of was to resign and make noise in that way.”

Fenimore said that he had no interest in eventually challenging Bartley for the position of supervisor but would not rule out a return to politics.

“I have no interest in supervisor, and I think my wife would not be happy with that, either,” Fenimore joked. “I would consider running for town council again at some future point depending on the nature of the board. I have had 35 years of service to the community, but this kind of stuff wears on you.”

Bartley said that town officials had not decided what to do with the vacant town board seat and were looking at alternatives.

“We have been talking to the Board of Elections about it,” Bartley said. “I would think that we would want to look at the people who ran in the last election to see if they still had an interest. We will start with them and then go from there.”

Evelyn Hatch, who currently serves on the town planning board and wrote a letter to the editor disputing some of Fenimore’s claims, along with Ben Morris, were candidates for town board last November that were not elected to the two then-vacant positions.

ters were part of the overall water project, it was a different phase.

“This was the fourth phase of the water project,” Bartley said. “When I took office, I got a letter from EFC asking if we had finished the project up. I found out that we had $521,000 in grant money remaining for the meters and we were about to lose it. The metering part of this had never been contracted and it was a separate issue, so I felt that we should look at some other contractors.”

Neither Bartley nor Fenimore were at the August meeting when the board approved the AES bid, as Bartley was recovering from surgery and Fenimore had handed in his resignation earlier that day.

Both referred to a meeting that happened in April with Michael Mascarenas at the county and Dodson but took away differing conclusions.

“During the meeting, Michael asked Dodson if he had a contract for this work, and he said no,” Bartley said. “After that, I talked with several supervisors and Michael again to get an idea where we should go.”

“The conclusion from that meeting was that this was a continuation of the water project and Jack Dodson had been the contractor for that project,” Fenimore said. “I think that the town has hurt a key relationship over this.”

Bartley also questioned the intentions of Fenimore using an email between he and Dodson which had been sent shortly after the decision had been made.

JAY — Ward Lumber is hosting three Chicken Harvest Seminars for anyone who is interested in learning to harvest their own chickens.

There are three dates at two locations from which to choose. The first date offered is on Thursday, Sept. 6, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at John Tuper ’s Farm in Bombay. The hosts are Tom & Tammy Tuper. The other two seminars will be held at Ward Lumber in Jay on Friday, Sept. 7, or Saturday, Sept. 8, from 8 a.m. until noon.

This hands-on seminar is for seasoned farmers as well as new or aspiring farmers.

The educational event will offer the participant the opportunity to learn and participate in the on-farm harvest of meat chickens. The goal of the seminar is for attendees to add to their skills and/or acquire new skills to harvest their own birds on the farm.

Seminar attendees will learn the proper, up-to-date techniques for processing poultry including: how to prepare before harvest day; handling to minimize stress and eliminate bruising and breaking; humane bleeding using cones; scalding using a Featherman thermostatically controlled, propane scalder; plucking using a Featherman Pro Plucker; eviscerating using proper techniques; packaging using shrink bags for a great presentation and to reduce freezer burn. Attendees will be using the poultry processing equipment available at Ward Lumber.

The presenter will be Jay Ward, who has raised various types of livestock on and off since age 8 and is currently raising chickens (meat and replacement pullets), pigs and alpacas. Jay has trained with skilled poultry slaughterers and many chicken farmers sharing the best practices and techniques for chicken harvesting. He assembled and field tested a suite of portable poultry processing equipment to enable farmers to more easily harvest their own chicken on their farms.

The cost is $10 per person and advance registration required. The class size limited to be sure each attendee has ample opportunity to learn and participate. For additional information on this seminar and to register, go to www.WardLumber.com, email info@WardLumber.com or call Kim Brown at 946-2110 x120.

ECH to host annual Hunters’ screenings ELIZABETHTOWN — The annual Hunters’ Health Screening will take place at Elizabethtown Community Hospital on Tuesday, Sept. 18, from 4 to 6 p.m. This is an opportunity for hunters to receive a basic health evaluation at no cost.

This free health screening will allow hunters the opportunity to have a physical that will assess their overall health before they set out into the woods to tag that trophy buck. Results will be reviewed by a physician that evening; and an opportunity for consultation will follow.

The health clinic will assess blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and oxygen levels. Hospital staff will also check vision, height and weight, providing an overall health picture. Participants will also have an EKG reading taken, an important test that measures heart health. A team of nurses and lab staff, led by Dr. Moisan, will conduct the health screening.

According to RN Julie Tromblee, basic health evaluations allow physicians an opportunity to uncover physical conditions that can put individuals at risk.

“Considering that hunters are exerting themselves in areas that may be far from home and difficult to access by emergency personnel, it’s important that they have a yearly physical to ensure that there are no major health issues that make them vulnerable,” she said. “This hospital’s mission includes protecting the health of our community members; and the Hunters’ Health Screening event allows us to do just that.”

The hospital lobby will be filled with information related to hunting, hunting safety and regulations. A representative from the NYS Department of Conservation will be on-hand to answer questions in regard to laws and regulations. Local authors, safety instructors and hunting experts will be on-hand to discuss hunting in the local area.

Quilters to meet 27050

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Pleasant Valley Quilters will meet Sept. 11, at 7 p.m. at the Elizabethtown Community Hospital Conference Room. Newcomers are welcome. For more information, call 873-2652.

Keene Continued from page 1 firehouse in half. It was breathtaking and frightening to see.

“The second is in our response to what has happened,” the Governor continued.

“To have people come together, to see the acts of heroism and unselfishness, and to see the spirit of community that was alive and well and present with neighbors helping neighbors.”

Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee said that town was appreciative of the help from the state.

“It has been a long road and there is still a lot of work to do, but the state and the Governor have once again stepped up to help us,” Ferebee said. “We have recovered well, but only because of the work that has been done by this community, that has worked together, and the help of the state.”

“He has shown the North Country much affection and much respect,” Douglas said. “He has taken the unprecedented steps to make sure that the communities here have received the support that they needed in trying to rebuild.”

On the topic of rebuilding, Keene Volunteer Fire Department Chief John Whitney said the firehouse project would move as quickly as possible.

“We are going to start the process to

get into the ground as soon as we can,” Whitney said. “We are very appreciative to the Governor because he has again stepped up to take care of business.

The North Country is a great place to learn

A

s another season of school gets under way, the region’s community colleges continue to provide a quality education at a good price.

The North Country enjoys Adirondack Community College in Queensbury, North Country Community College in Saranac Lake and Ticonderoga and Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh.

These institutions are gems residing within their surrounding communities.

Adirondack Community College, founded in 1961, serves Warren, Washington and northern Saratoga counties and offers more than 30 academic programs.

North Country Community College, founded in 1967, serves Franklin and Essex counties. It has received both state and nationwide recognition for its academic programs.

Some people refer to Clinton Community College as “Harvard on the Hill,” a nickname that leaves those not in the know wondering what it is all about.

Driving up the hill one notices the beauty of its historic buildings, which housed presidents who ran the country from the scenic location that was once a hotel.

The view of Lake Champlain stops you in your tracks and you imagine yourself sitting on the balcony reading a book or writing a research paper as a college student.

Students, faculty, administrators and area business leaders say CCC has more than earned its academic reputation.

Typical learners fresh out of high school flock to it, and adult learners are quickly embraced into the CCC fold as one of its own, helping them ease back into life as a full-time student, providing them with the tools to exceed and shine and sending her off with a solid academic foundation.

Students and their families consistently provide glowing recommendations of the school. Many say the professors worked them hard, but were kind and helpful, and the school provided all the resources they needed to succeed.

CCC’s programs are renowned in the state and beyond, as reported in national ranking achievements and studies, such as one from Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, VT that praised reg-

istered nurses who graduated from CCC’s nursing program over graduates from other institutions.

CCC’s nursing program should be a significant source of pride for the institution, and the region should be proud that such skilled, patient-oriented nurses graduate from the school.

It’s not an easy program to get into and it is rigorous to complete, but that, among other aspects, is what distinguishes it.

Whether it be educating college students, training or retraining the workforce, or treading in the forefront of today’s technology, the school has consistently impressed.

Graduates of any of the school’s programs consistently say they were overwhelmed by how much they learned at the school, humbled by the professionalism and helpfulness of their professors and feel prepared to go on to the next stage of their lives, whether it be the workforce or a transfer to a fouryear school, usually Plattsburgh State, another stellar institution this community is fortunate to have.

The faculty and staff at CCC, NCCC and ACC excel in their roles.

Faculty members don’t hide the fire for the job — it is in their eyes, at the tips of their fingers and it dances off their tongues as they describe their courses and students. Students are fortunate to have knowledgeable professionals who care deeply.

CCC now enjoys a diverse class, hungry to learn and hopeful for the future.

Whether they come from China or Clinton County, and whether they are 18 or 50, they are in good hands and on the path to a bright future.

Adirondack and North Country community colleges are no doubt excited about their incoming classes as well and eager to delve into a new school year.

No matter which of these institutions students choose, they will not be disappointed with the education they receive.

Another one bites the dust

B

ack in June I used this column to question if there will be a daily newspaper in our future. Last week, our neighbors in Syracuse learned the answer to that question the hard way concerning the future of The Post-Standard.

Newhouse Newspapers, who announced in June that it would stop printing the daily paper The New Orleans Times-Picayune and its Alabama newspapers in Mobile and Birmingham, said last week it would end the daily distribution of two more of its newspapers, The Post-Standard in Syracuse and The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. Both papers will begin merging their content with their local news web sites, syracuse.com and pennlive.com, while delivering the printed newspaper only three days a week. Starting in January, The Post-Standard will publish only on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

The news prompted hundreds of comments by readers on both web sites, who expressed their concern about life without a local, seven-day-aweek newspaper. One such note said: “We grew up with the paper, and Dad reading us the Funnies every Sunday. Every Christmas, Dad also read us the famous response that Francis Parcellus Church of the NY Sun wrote to little 8-yr. old Virginia Hanlon: ‘YES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS. He exists as certainly as love and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were No Santa Claus. This news feels like ‘NO SANTA CLAUS’... another tradition gone.”

Another person commented: “As we bemoan the death of the daily paper, brace yourselves for what is certain to be a very painful round of layoffs. I suspect we are going to lose some of our favorite columnists and reporters in the name of cost-reduction. I know I wrote this yesterday, but in New Orleans they cut 49 percent of the newsroom and in Birmingham, 60 percent. This does not bode well for the more senior staffers.”

A newspaper is more than words printed on a page. Newspapers were created to serve a purpose, and that purpose was not to be a cash cow.

On the contrary, the newspaper is the cheerleader, the whistle blower, the watchdog and the major economic booster for a community and the region it serves. Despite the popular belief that newspapers can’t compete with today’s technology, the simple truth is this move isn’t really about competition or technology. If the primary mission of a newspaper is to inform the community, the method by which the news is distributed shouldn’t leave people in the dark, nor should it be an excuse to cut expenses and jobs.

If those five newspapers were locally owned by an active member of the community, someone who was a professional newspaper publisher, we would not be seeing this same solution to the perceived problem in five different areas. This action to remake their news delivery method is an attempt by

senior management to keep more money for their shareholders, and the community will just have to live with the disappointment of less access.

Dan Alexander Consider some basic Thoughts from numbers: At a blended Behind the Pressline rate of 65 cents per edition, and an average of 70,000 copies per day, the Post Standard will lose $45,500 per day in circulation revenue for the four days per week they will stop delivering. That is $182,000 per week and $9.464 million per year, assuming they don’t raise the price, which they most certainly will. That number doesn't even take into account the tens of millions of dollars in advertising revenue they will lose in making this transition. Jobs will certainly be lost, and Central New York and the Capital Region of Pennsylvania will suffer as a result. Under a local family ownership, the needs of these communities would have been better addressed because they would have listened to their readers, community leaders and advertisers. The solution would not have come from a board room, but from the community.

The auto industry leadership at one time was so arrogant they felt they could produce substandard vehicles. They learned a hard lesson: If they don’t provide an outstanding car for the American public, someone else will. Hence we have an American car industry now trying to play catch-up with foreign manufacturers. In time the newspaper publishing industry will come to its senses and realize if they produce a better product, in keeping with the wishes of their customers, circulation and profits will follow.

One last comment from a wise Post-Standard reader: “Why pay $1 per day for something that you can leisurely read on your patio when you can spend several hundred dollars every couple years chasing the newest technology so that you can become one of the zombies I see everywhere glued to their smartphone, Ipad, etc. instead of making personal connections by actually talking to people?

The newest trend I have been observing is seeing parents (mostly moms) taking walks or sitting in the park incessantly texting instead of conversing with their young children. Technology is good but not every aspect of it is. We have raised a generation of college kids who have trouble conversing yet can bang out 10k texts per month or tweet well into the early morning thereby contributing to bad sleep habits that contribute to the obesity epidemic. For the record, I have a smartphone, IPad, and laptop so I am not a technophobe. I merely am one who uses it to "add value" to my life, not overtake it.”

Thanks for volunteers To the Valley News: As Campaign Director for 40 Days for Life, I would like to thank all of the courageous prayer volunteers who have come out into the rain, snow, cold and heat to pray in front of Planned Parenthood during the past six 40 Days for Life Campaigns. Even though there will not be a “registered,” campaign this fall in Plattsburgh, prayer volunteers are still encouraged to pray for the end of abortion at 66 Brinkerhoff Street.

Women in crisis pregnancies have a right to bring their child into the world by accessing life saving resources in our area: Birthright, Gabriel Project, Catholic Charities, Care Net. Abortion after care programs are also available in the area: Project Rachel, Rachel’s Vineyard and Silent No More Awareness. There is help available, you are not alone. Many positive happenings around the country are making headway in changing our society into a culture of life; life for all people. If you need more info on pregnancy help, abortion after care resources or getting involved contact me at www.silentnomorewareness.org Nancy Belzile Willsboro

Show support appreciated To the Valley News: I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who attended my recent show at The Depot Theatre, “The Anti-Student Loan Cabaret.” I also wish to thank those who generously donated in support of my future college plans.

I especially want to thank guest performers Elizabeth and George Cordes, George Davis, Bill Stokes and Karen Rappaport, and Peter Craig, as well as—for their behind-thescenes contributions to putting the evening together—Depot Managing Director Angel Wuellner, stage managers Lucky Pearto and Kelly Fayton, technical wizard Jim Carroll, and caterer extraordinaire Erin Perkins. Special thanks to Depot Artistic Director Shami McCormick, who made it all possible—and then even gave it a name!

My dream is to make a life in the theater.

Although I know it won’t be easy to achieve, having the love and support of so many of you in the North Country makes the dream that much closer to becoming a reality.

Volunteers feted To the Valley News: On behalf of the Westport Heritage House and the Westport Festival Day committees, I would like to thank all the wonderful volunteers for their support. Thank you to those who were part of each of the day’s events, the musical entertainment, the auctions, the crafters, the fun games, the old and antique car displays, and the 4-H dog agility. If you helped to set up tables and chairs or if you provided equipment or if you were there to help close up auctions at the end of the day, you were all a great help in what you did to make this day a huge success.

Having someone willing to work as a partner on a project like this helps so much in getting things done and we could not succeed without help from people like you. The volunteerism in our community continues to make me proud of my town.

Nancy Decker Westport Heritage House Manager

Response to letter To the Valley News: Recent statements made by Mr. Fenimore printed in your Aug. 25 issue are hardly worthy of comment, but still I feel compelled to address those made regarding the

Comprehensive Plan.

For the record, the Planning Board members were appointed by the previous administration and were on board before Supervisor Bartley took office, so we can hardly be called on “her team.”

The Town Board has indeed appointed the Planning Board with the task of designing this plan. Article 5.01 of our Land Use Local Law and Regulations (LULLR) states that the first duty of the Planning Board is to “coordinate the establishment of a town comprehensive plan.” We did not have to be assigned or reassigned this task; it was already part of our local law.

In addition to the Planning Board, the town sought participation from the community to work on this plan and asked for letters of interest. Three members of the community responded and two have joined with the Planning Board in this endeavor.

At the March 20 Town Board meeting, Mr. Fenimore attempted to bypass the town's requirement for advertising for these positions by trying to install three people to this planning group without going through the process dictated by the Town Board. He was stopped in his tracks, however, when reminded of this requirement to advertise, which, incredibly, was made as a result of his motion at the Feb. 21 Town Board meeting! And it is interesting to note that his chosen three never bothered to submit a letter of interest and to date have yet to attend a single workshop.

As to town-wide zoning, it's already here! In the hamlet it falls under the LULLR and outside the hamlet under the APA. There is not enough time or enough grant money available to consider such a daunting task as making zoning changes outside the hamlet. The sheer volume of work that it would entail is simply not an option, and I believe, would be a total waste of resources.

Perhaps if Mr. Fenimore attended the latest workshop on Aug. 18, to which he was invited, he would have been enlightened, and surely impressed, by the level of enthusiasm, the extent of ideas and the vision of some of the folks in our town. I would encourage him to take part in the process where he can see for himself what honest and thoughtful dialogue and working together as a community can really accomplish. The process itself is interesting and thought-provoking and is a unique opportunity for our town.

Help at cemetery lauded To the Valley News: The Essex County Veterans Cemetery Board of Directors wish to thank the Essex County Highway Department, including Tony LaVigne and his Staff for the care given to the Cemetery this year. Since "Irene," they have been busy building bridges, roads and public facilities. They still found time to mow and maintain the cemetery. We also have directional signs throughout Wadhams Road. The lighted American Flag is also a beautiful sight at Night. Many people have commented in passing that it is “inspiring.”

Support all boys To the Valley News: I have a great deal of respect and gratitude for Gusher Smith and all that he has done for this community and especially for Ticonderoga’s Boy Scouts. I also see how much scouting does to help boys develop into the kind of men this world needs, men who are respectful, kind, responsible and who help build up their communities.

Still, I have to respectfully disagree with Mr. Smith (letter, Aug. 18) and with the Boy Scouts of America, because the great good that they do is marred by how they treat a certain group of boys and men. It is a shame that the Boy Scouts have banned gay men from leadership. It is a shame that boys who participate in scouting have to hide who they are when they discover that they are gay – hide who they are or risk being bullied and kicked out of scouting. It is a shame that good Boy Scout leaders are banned, just because they are gay, even if in every way they are exemplary.

My son and husband have been beneficiaries of the many good things that scouting offers. All boys deserve the same opportunity. It is time to stop shaming, bullying and excluding boys and young men who are gay, yet who in every way live fully all that the Boy Scouts stand for.

I would love for a respected group such as Boy Scouts to take a stand for all boys against the terrible bullying and shaming of any boy or young man. We have seen more than enough of the heartbreaking damage that bullying inflicts, which too often ends in suicide. It is time for the Boy Scouts to support all boys as they grow into men. I hope that happens soon.

Stop land purchases To the Valley News: Governor Cuomo shows the same hatred and contempt that his father showed towards the Adirondacks, its people, its natural resources, and its environment. With purchasing the Finch/ Nature Conservancy lands he totally ignored the wishes and concerns of our local elected governing officials and the local residents. Instead he chose to destroy over 300 jobs, 200 sportsmen camps, and the economy of the local towns and villages. He chose to destroy all wildlife habitat and fishery, aquatic life on 69,000 acres of lands and waters.

School supplies available Au SABLE FORKS — Please be advised that the town of Jay has school supplies available for anyone who needs assistance acquiring these items for the 2012-2013 school year. They may be picked up at the Supervisor ’s Office in the Community Center located in Au Sable Forks Monday–Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Please call the office at 647-2204 with any questions.

Valley News - 7 Instead of keeping these lands in active state forest managed lands with wildlife habitat, forest management, and jobs, economic benefits; he damned these lands and waters to eternal destruction. We have all seen the lack of habitat on forest preserve lands. Wildlife is left to starve and die without food and shelter. Over 3,000 bodies of water have been poisoned, silted, and all aquatic life, including our native brook trout murdered into extinction. Cuomo will now add another 175 lakes to this list. There will be no fish stocking, as each year we see DEC fishery and hatchery staff deleted, less fish being raised, and less waters stocked. Additionally, as we have seen in every UMP, the vast majority of the people will be banned from these lands. Sportsmen, disabled veterans, handicapped, elderly, and other outdoor recreationists will be denied access.

These lands and waters , as we have seen with existing forest preserve lands, will become morgues with no wildlife, polluted waters, and no access. All motorized travel will be banned; no snowmobiles, ATV’s, ORV’s, motorboats; as we have seen with road closures, etc. in every UMP to date.

Claims by the state to otherwise are a lie, as history has shown us.

Cuomo lies when he says he supports job growth, industry, and business, and this proves it. The time is long overdue for the sportsmen, local citizens, veterans, handicapped, elderly, and others to demand our elected officials take action to protect our communities. It is time to demand legislation that restricts forest preserve lands to those lands above 3,000 feet elevation. Time to demand active management of all state owned lands, including all forest preserve lands, for wildlife habitat and forestry products. Time to remove Cuomo and all other eco-terrorists supporters from office.

Author night a success To the Valley News: On Sunday, Aug. 26, 2012 Literacy Volunteers of Essex /Franklin Counties held its 7th Annual August Author Address at Camp Dudley with guest speaker Dr. Colin Read.

Dr. Read spoke on the various economic factors that lead to the rise and fall of economic empires such as Great Britain, and how the United States is slowly losing its superpower title to China; the fastest growing economy in today’s world.

Dr. Read also discussed the most recent financial crisis and how fear and the lack of understanding fueled the fire that caused the meltdown. He emphasized that economic literacy and more educated, literate citizens are essential to the prevention of future economic crises.

Literacy Volunteers would like to acknowledge and thank Dr. Read for his willingness to speak and he expertise in economics. This event would not have been successful without him. We would also like to thank Camp Dudley, especially Fred Guffey and Matt Storey, for their continued support and allowing us to use Witherbee Auditorium.

KEESEVILLE — In 2004, the Preservation League of New York State launched an ambitious pilot project of workshops and technical assistance in western New York to address an important aspect of Main Street revitalization: the reuse of vacant upper stories in downtown commercial buildings.

Now, the league is bringing its workshop to Keeseville on Monday, Sept. 10, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Ausable Valley Grange, 1749 Main Street in Keeseville.

“We developed and offered a model workshop, “Enhancing Main Street: Making Upper Floors Work Again,” in six Western New York counties to demonstrate how upper floors can offer attractive housing options,” said Jay DiLorenzo, President of the Preservation League.

“Now, with the support of the Empire State Development Corporation, we are continuing to present this program around the state. By bringing together ex-

perts in the fields of historic preservation, project development, financing, and New York State building codes in one place at one time, we hope to address many questions facing building owners who are thinking about upper floor conversion possibilities.”

The Preservation League has found that the interest in downtown revitalization is very strong and growing in New York State. Through the Upper Floors program and by monitoring upper floors projects already underway, the Preservation League is building a case for reinvestment in the state’s historic commercial centers.

The workshop is free and open to the public and includes materials and refreshments. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. To RSVP, contact Susan Arena at Adirondack Architectural Heritage at 834-9328, or email susan@aarch.org.

Johnny’s Family Smokehouse and Sports Bar in Willsboro New York and Meet the Candidate, Matt Doheny for Congress. This event is on Sept. 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. Appetizers and soft drinks will be served with an available cash bar.

Adirondack Architectural Heritage and the Preservation League of New York. Speakers will cover a range of topics including the National Register of Historic Places, code requirements in historic buildings, and how to use tax credits in a restoration project.

Six international students at KCS

Festival of Colors set in Wilmington WILMINGTON — For its ninth year, Wilmington will host the Festival of the Colors Sept. 8, welcoming the beginning of the fall season with its “home town” festival.

Keeping with the tradition of being held the second Saturday in September, this year ’s event will run from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the T-Ball field on Springfield Road.

This event is free, open to everyone and has become the one event locals and visitors look forward to every year.

The day will include a children’s comedy routine by Pipsqueak the Clown, two shows

by Santa’s Workshop’s Show cast members and live entertainment by well-known Eat, Sleep and Funk.

Children will enjoy the numerous free activities catering to them which will include bouncy entertainment, pumpkin painting, balloon sculptures, face painting, various games and new this year, a scarecrow building contest! Adults will enjoy stopping by

the multiple vendor booths selling arts, crafts, rustic furniture, jewelry, fresh produce, photography and baked goods.

Among these items those attending the festival will also be able to see large truck and equipment displays by local fire/rescue departments, the Wilmington Highway Department, DEC and Milton Caterpillar. If modes of transportation with an engine aren’t your desire, there will also be horse and pony rides available. Also, because no festival would be complete without a little friendly competition, this year, there will be a Cookie Bake Off featuring three divisions.

Entrants are encouraged to grab their favorite recipes and enter as Professional, Adult or Child. Once the judges get their “sample” the cookies will be sold with the proceeds to benefit the EM Cooper Library.

For additional information contact the Whiteface Business & Tourism Center at 9462255 or info@WhitefaceRegion.com.

KEENE — For the first time ever, Keene Central School is hosting six international students from six different countries for the entire school year.

The students, who have been arriving throughout the past week as part of a new International Student Program, got to meet each other at a picnic Friday, Aug. 31 at the Keene Community Center.

And even though the six visitors all hail from big cities, the smallness of the region’s mountain towns wasn’t the first thing that struck them.

“It’s so green here,” said Luiza Parolin, an 11th grader from Curitiba, Brazil. “Here, everybody tries to help. They help themselves and they help the environment. I think that’s awesome.”

Iñigo Azcona, a tenth grader from Madrid, Spain, agreed: “In Madrid, there’s a lot of pollution. It’s very green here. It’s good.”

The plethora of green flora in the Adirondacks is something the region’s residents experience daily — the leaves on the trees melt into a steady, verdant blur when seen from the passenger seat of a moving car; the smell of pine is undeniable when the windows are rolled down.

Cultural diversity, on the other hand, is not as common.

“I just thought about how we’re kind of isolated here, and I thought it would be good to introduce our students to cultural diversity,” said Joy McCabe, who helped bring the program to the school.

While in the states, the international students will live with host families — two in Jay, two in Keene and two in Keene Valley — and will have a chance to experience what small town life in the Adirondacks is like. They will also carry full course loads during the school year.

Two of the students are juniors and one is a sophomore. The four who are seniors will be required to pass a regents-level exam to graduate.

Most of the students already have plans for the future, but others aren’t quite as certain.

“When I graduate I want to attend a university in the United States and study to be a counselor or a psychologist,” said Chloe Dinh, a 12th grader from Hanoi, Vietnam.

“And right now, I’d like to find work as a babysitter.”

Susanne Ruud, a 12th grader from Norway, has different post-school plans: “I want to travel and then go to college.”

Ruud is no stranger to travel, either. To date, she has been to Italy, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Poland and Greece. Now that she can cross the United States off her wish list, she has her sights set on Australia and Asia.

While here Ruud said she wants to experience American life, a statement that would probably make Mike Johnson, program Coordinator for the International Students Program, happy to hear.

“I think a lot of countries have a bad stigma about America, but I don’t think Keene is like that,” Johnson said. “It’s a huge value to this community that these students can take that knowledge home with them, and that our students can go out into the world after they graduate and say they’ve met people from other countries and mean it.”

Johnson said he hopes the program can enrich the lives of everyone involved, and from the sound of things, it’s off to a good start.

“My city is really busy, so I’ve had a busy life,” said SeokJae Hong, an 11th grader from the northern region of South Korea. “Keene Valley is really good, the air is really fresh and the people are all so nice.”

But the mountains Adirondackers are so accustomed to seeing are not a new geological site for all of the visiting students.

“Taiwan has a lot of mountains, but few people live in them,” said Jonah Wu, a 12th grader from Hsinchu, Taiwan.

Like all of the students, Wu commented on how welcoming everyone has been to him.

Even though he wants to return to Taiwan to attend college, there is one thing he wants to experience before he heads back, something that some locals love, and others despise.

“I can’t wait for the winter time,” Wu said.

“I’ve never seen snow dropping before.”

he NCSPCA would like to report that our recent Antique and Tag Sale was a tremendous success, thanks to both the generous donors who provided items for sale, as well as our buyers. The Grange was totally filled with wonderful "stuff" - from antique furniture, to art, to cookware, to jewelry, and even children's toys! We had a terrific turnout, with many smiling faces from happy buyers! We want to thank all of the friends of the shelter who donated items to the sale and all the people who turned out to support the shelter fundraiser. We would also like to thank the following stores in Lake Placid for their support: Cornerstone Rustic & Craft Gallery, Cunningham's Ski Barn, Lake Placid Doghouse/A Placid Life, Ruthie's Run, and the Pink Pig in Essex.

Our featured pet this week is Tiger, a gorgeous Bull Terrier-Mix who lives up to his name, with brown, black and white stripes along his sleek body. He recently arrived at the shelter and, though frightened at first, has made great progress and seems very interested in meeting his fellow canines. He walks well on a leash and is a

abor Day has always been special for me as I add one more year to my age line, and my twin daughters do the same, so this is the big family Birthday celebration weekend. My memory of this holiday was always a return to school and back into my routine life, so here we are once again. This year I had the added pleasure of once again seeing my new great-grand daughter again for a couple of days.

I repeat that this is the start of a new school year and things will be getting off to a fast start. Once again the school will be holding the return Gala of welcoming students and parents to come to school, see their childs room, meet the teachers, and share a hot dog and light refreshments between 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 13, a great welcoming jester. The sports games have started and the mentoring program for Juniors and senior students kicks off this month. We have a great school and offer many great programs for the students.

I have always been proud of this community's history that featured local farms,

it has been sad to see many of the farms go by the wayside. Hopeful you have noticed the efforts of the Adirondack Harvest Group to bring back the value of local farms. They have planned several special events in the month of September. Key family farms will be open for a tour and offer consumers food that they produce, and make available for sale to interested consumers. For more information and to register contact Lorie Davis at 963-1127 plus there are some posters around town with details and dates. They also have produced a great cook book using locally grown products.

Another publication you might be interested in is the new edition of the local Essex 2013 calendar with some great local pictures, saw one at the local Pharmacy.

Note there will be no primary election for us this month.

Happy Birthday to:Harris Young Sept.4, James Hotaling Sept. 4, Donna Crowningshield Sept. 5, Nicole Belzile Sept. 9, Darren Darrah Sept. 9, Abrigail Boardman Sept. 9.

he Whallonsburg Grange is holding its third annual fall festival this Sunday from one to five. You can inspect all the recent improvements to the building, shop for baked goods and try Chef Doyle’s famous Whallonsburgers, among many other activities. The Grange has become the North Country’s premier beacon of fine entertainment and culture in the most unlikely of settings, downtown Whallonsburg.

Local dairy farmers are busy making corn silage and finishing the second or third cutting of hay. Almost all of the corn you see around here is made into stored feed, the whole plant chopped into small bits by a machine with a cutter that resembles the reel on an old fashioned push mower. The chopped corn is usually piled on a concrete pad, compressed by driving a tractor over it and covered with black plastic. Worn out tires are spread over the plastic to keep the wind from carrying it away. The corn sugars ferment, creating lactic acid which pickles the corn and preserves it. Although it has a pungent odor,

cattle adore the stuff.

Ginny and I were out walking the other day with one of her dog friends, a small foxy spitz, and I noticed him gazing intently skyward, his head cocked at an angle.

He was watching a pair of hawks just overhead, clearly concerned that he might become lunch. The hawks ignored us and sailed lazily along. Hawks can be tricky to identify, and the juveniles especially so because with their whitish plumage they closely resemble one another.

Although this is the ideal time of year to fertilize your lawn, don’t do it says my inhouse horticultural advisor Amy. It’s too dry right now. She suggests waiting for rain, and try to get the job done before October. I suggest skipping the fertilizer and let the lawn fend for itself. This is a good time to select the garlic you want to plant next month. I look for the biggest heads with the fattest cloves and set them aside. If you’re so inclined, you might want to seed spinach now for overwintering. If voles don’t gobble up your greens, you can look forward to big leafy spinach early next April.

P

astor Leon Hebrink of Westport Federated Church invites you to be part of the church’s Agape Suppers, which have returned on the last Saturday of the month now that summer is almost officially over. We might also mention that “agape” (ah-GAH- pay) in this case doesn’t mean with mouth wide open, but instead is the Greek word for the sort of love one feels for family and friends. It’s found in the New Testament to refer to God’s love and to the idea of Christian love and charity toward others.

The Agape Supper is served from 4 to 6 p.m. and the first one is Sept. 29. Pastor Leon describes it as “a simple wholesome supper offered free of charge to anyone who wants to come and eat and share in some conversation and company.” Some come early to help with set up, some linger for conversation and clean-up, and all are encouraged to participate.

“There are a number of ways you can be a part of this,” Pastor Leon says.

“Prayer, help spread the word and invite folks, financial help to defray the minimal costs, contributions of food stuffs, or you can help the day of the supper. Also, YOU are invited too, even if you don’t have a 'need' for the meal. Some of our church and community friends have shared in the meal with us last Winter and Spring and it was great fun the break bread together and chat a bit.”

I’d like to add that I would not be telling you about this excellent community activity if Pastor Leon hadn’t sent an e-mail to WestportNYNews@gmail.com telling me about it. This seems like a good time to remind everyone that this your column, too. So if you have a community event, a thank-you for some special person who has served our community, or even just a bit of news, drop me a line at that email address. I’ll do my best to include it here. Most of the things you see covered in this column come from people just like you who have sent me information about the exciting things they’re doing.

Youthful Lions look to improve in Class D throughout 2012 season ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown-Lewis boys varsity soccer program has been here before.

The Lions will be coping with the need to fill several spots in a lineup that was senior-laden in 2011, and head coach Paul Buehler believes he has a group of players that will do that as the season progresses.

“We expect to improve throughout the entire season,” Buehler said. “The team is younger than in most seasons and we have many players that have never played or have not played since they were much younger. That being said, we are very optimistic. The pre-season has been exciting to watch as players improve and develop.

We have been joined by a few outstanding athletes that are quickly becoming soccer players.”

Buehler said that the core of the team will include four players who saw significant minutes last season, including

starters Brody Hooper and Charlie Huttig, along with Austin Morris and Justin LaPier. LaPier was the starting goalie for the Lions two years ago and backed up keeper Brock Marvin in 2011.

“Some younger players will be looking to make their mark are Isaiah Turner, Wesley Whalen, Caleb Denton and Will Tomkins, all looking to earn a starting position,” Buehler said. “Also, we have some newcomers like Hugh Harwood, Zac Noka-Bailey, Cortland White and Cody Gowdy that have quickly become soccer players.”

Buehler said that the team hopes that the strides they make in the regular season lead to another deep Section VII/Class D playoff run into November.

“Improvement is the focus, but they expect to be playing with the best D schools in the section,” Buehler said.

Good Luck to All Our Area Athletes!

Last year’s youth now experience for Lady Lions ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown-Lewis Lady Lions may have the most experienced squad in Section VII/Class D. The 2012 team brings back nine starters from the team that reached the Class D title game against eventual state champion Chazy, many with multiple years of experience.

“We bring back nine starters from last year and hope to be competitive within our division,” head coach Steve Denton said. “But we have a very small squad this year with only 14 girls on the roster.”

The team returns one of the top front lines in the region, with strikers Kylee Cassavaugh and Emily Morris, who Denton said bring, “experience, talent and leadership to the team.”

The Lions will also continue to be anchored defensively by sweeper Lily Whalen, who will be joined on the back line by Crystal Grady, Sierra Wimett and Jenny McGinn.

Kearsten Ashline also returns to provide the last line of defense in the net.

Shonna Brooks and Caitie Decker will return to the midfield for the Lions, where

newcomer Jasmine Barnes will also see time.

“Junior Zoe Reusser, Sophomore Sage Allott and Freshmens Shannon Canavan and Emma Disogra will provide relief from the bench,” Denton said.

As the season progresses, Denton said that the overall goal is to make it to the sectional finals for the third time in as many years.

“This team’s overall goal is to return to the section final,” he said. “We have played in the final two years in a row and hope to make it three.”

TUPPER LAKE LUMBERJACKS Team play key as Lumberjacks prepare for states TUPPER LAKE — The Tupper Lake Lumberjacks will spend the regular season preparing for the state tournament.

As Section X has returned to an exclusive football schedule, the Lumberjacks are the only Class D team, and thus will represent the section in regional play.

“Our goals are to be competitive and play to the best of our athletic abilities, playing mistake-free football and be injury free,” head coach Dennis Klossner said. “We are a team-oriented group with depth. We have 24 players on the team but as coaches, we feel comfortable in the role players are giving us.”

Morgan Stevens returns to the Lumberjacks at the quarterback position.

“He has good poise and will be able to run the offense out on the field,” Klossner said. “What we call the heart and soul of our team is the offensive line, which will be young, but experienced and very coachable.”

Members of the line will include Marcus Richer, Nick Dukette, Nathan Boyea, Blair Boyer, Zack Boushie, Tom Barton and Nash Botala.

“The game is decided in the trenches and these eight will also be on the defensive line,” Klossner said.

Elliott Kerst will anchor the defensive side of the ball at the linebacker position.

“He has a great eye for finding the ball and a great leader for the team to follow.”

Klossner said.

The coach also stressed the importance of the third unit on the field: special teams.

“We have worked very hard on our special teams as they are a third of the game and can gives us good field position both offensively and defensively,” he said. “We are excited to be able to put the ball through the uprights this year as Ian Gillis will be kicking for us, giving us that extra threat to score.”

Brandon Bedore, Cam McGillis, Josh Clement and Josh Fletcher are the seniors on the team, joined by juniors Broyce Guerette, Mark Pratico, Lance Vaillancourt and Tyler Exware.

WILLSBORO WARRIORS Warriors look to return to finals

Lady Warriors seek improvement

WILLSBORO — The Willsboro varsity boys soccer program is coming off a year that was unprecedented, but did not end with the ultimate goal of a sectional crown.

In 2012, the Warriors are looking to return to the Class D finals, but to do so they will have to rely on a mostly inexperienced roster.

“Losing eight starters from last year ’s team was big, but this year ’s team knows what it takes to win and have been putting in the hard work,” Head Coach Andy Lee said.

“The team has made it a goal to make it to the sectional championship game. They want to compete with every team that they face this season. They want to continue the success that we have had over the past years and make a name for themselves.”

Lee said that Nick Arnold, Sam Politi is one of three returning starters for Willsboro.

year last year,” head coach Mike Douglas said. “This should lead to a better seed come playoff time. I am looking for and anticipating continued improvement with our communication and passing game.”

Douglas said that the offense will rest with team members Alyson Arnold, Kyli Swires and Renee Marcotte, who will also spend some time in goal.

“But we will need all 11 on the field to work together and play tough if we want to be able to compete,” he added.

Douglas said that a big key to the season will be having the players learn some new positions, especially in the middle of the field.

“We lost crucial players right down the middle of the field that will be tough to replace,” he said. “It will be interesting to see how fast the new varsity players adjust to the speed of play. I have already seen improvement in the first week or so we have been at practice by all of our players. Hopefully, by the time playoffs come we will be peaking at the right time.”

SARANAC LAKE — The Saranac Lake Red Storm football team is looking to keep its hold on the Section VII/Class C crown.

Now playing an exclusive Champlain Valley Athletic Conference schedule, the Red Storm will have several experienced players, including quarterback Matt Phelan, while working some new faces into the mix.

“Although we've lost some critical players from last year's team, we have a group of kids that are enthusiastic, hard working and proud,” head coach Eric Bennett said. “We hope to be competitive in Section VII and are looking forward to each and every week testing us.”

Bennett said he will look to fill those positions early in the season.

“We are going to struggle early with inexperience,” he said. “We have had a tremendous preseason so far and we are committed to having a great year.”

LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid varsity volleyball team will seek to play as a unit in order to be competitive in the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference.

“The key to our success will be playing as one unit,” Head Coach Donna Moody said. “If we can play together as a team we will be successful on the court. “ Moody said that she is preparing the team for a season in which they will be in for a test every night.

“The teams to beat are everyone,” Moody said. “Beekmantown is the team that everyone is looking at; however, there are other teams that will challenge them and be in contention.”

strong midfield,” head coach Heather Brewer. “Liz Leff is a four-year varsity starter in goal. We will look to her to have another strong year in net. Kendra Manning and Brooke Reid have been

the keys to strong midfield play and sparking the attack. Haley Brandes will provide leadership defensively, and we are looking for strong forward play from Payton Barney.”

Brewer said that there are still some kinks to work out as far as players learning the system of soccer that the team plays, but they plan to be in the thick of the Section VII/Class C title hunt.

Keene girls look to add young talent to the mix KEENE VALLEY —The Keene varsity girls soccer team will feature many young faces this season as they look to improve on a sectional appearance last season.

“We will be inexperienced in all positions this year,” head coach Fred Hooper said.

“Defense will have two freshman. Midfield will have two eighth graders. Our forwards will count on their speed and be hampered by their youth. Young ladies in eighth and ninth grade will carry much of the load this year.”

Hooper said that the youth will be led by some experienced members of the team.

“We have Sadie Holbrook and Tucker Geiger, who are experienced at Defense,” he said. “Megan Hall is our lone goal scorer up top. We have a young team that will hopefully gel with these three veterans by the start of the season.

Hooper said he hopes the team will be able to be competitive within Division III of the Northern Soccer Conference.

CLINTONVILLE — The AuSable Valley Lady Patriots soccer team could not solve the riddle that was Plattsburgh High last season.

This year, the team will look to the experience of 10 returning players, along with firstyear coach Bruce Bourgeois, to try for another shot in Division I. “We will play all B schools in the regular season,” Bourgeois said. “This should get us ready for the playoffs in the smaller class, as we have moved down to Class C for this season.”

Bourgeois said that the roster of 18 players

features 10 with experience on varsity.

“We expect to be very competitive as long as we stay healthy,” he said. “Our strengths are speed and our defensive play. Our weaknesses are numbers and the power of our offensive attack.”

Bourgeois said there are a few players who will be asked to step up as leaders for the team this season.

“We will rely heavily on Logan Snow, Sumra Sikandar and Sierra Snow on defense; Hailey Taylor and Rachel Knapp at midfield and Deanna Dashnaw and Meagan Strong as strikers,” he said.

CLINTONVILLE — The AuSable Valley varsity boys soccer team will look to use the experience it gained in 2011 to help but goals into the net this season.

“We will be building off a season of growth where we struggled to score and compete with the larger schools of the CVAC,” head coach Bob Hamilton said. “This year we expect to be

much improved, with many returning players who worked hard in the off season to improve their individual and team skills.”

With those factors and a drop from Class B to Class C for playoffs, Hamilton said that the team has set its goals high.

“Our goal is to win a class C sectional title and play in the state tournament for the first time in many years,” he said. “We have already shown great improvement in our first scrimmage and anticipate a successful season.”

Hamilton said that one of the key players on the squad will be senior Nate Casey (pictured).

“We will rely on Nate for his experience and knowledge of the game to support the team’s growth throughout the season,” he said. “Others expected to play a key role in our success include returning defenders Austin Facteau, Eli Blaise and Tanner LaVallee. For the first time in a while we will have a scoring threat with returning starter Alexander Conner, and newcomers Jon Ladieu, Conner Kennedy and John Goodnough. Our play in the midfield will be anchored by returning players Riley Taylor, Prescott Doyle, Jacob Montefusco and new comer Elias Smith.”

Hamilton added that there will be a twogoalie system for the Patriots, with Joshua Taylor and Conner Kennedy sharing the duties.

“We are very excited for the upcoming season and fully expect to be very competitive with every team we play,” Hamilton said.

squad is young, they have been working together.

“Although a young squad, we have great team chemistry and a strong will to succeed. My incoming juniors are coming off two consecutive winning seasons, so playing strong together is a key component,” he said.

“Quinn Urquhart and Nick Bayruns are our senior captains who have winning as the only option for the team.”

Quality runners make up Red Storm SARANAC LAKE — Joe Merrihew has liked what he has seen from his Red Storm cross country team so far in 2012.

“The 2012 Red Storm cross country season is looking to be a strong year with many returning veterans,” Merrihew said. “Our girls team is looking to come out fighting this year with a few new faces. Elena Beideck will be in contention for one of the top stops at the sectional level. Our girls team as a whole will be a tough pack of runners who are looking to make waves.”

Merrihew also believes that boys team will make noise in the league.

“Our boys team may be small on paper, but they are a quality group of young runners that have a winning attitude,” he said. “All of the boys have at least a year of running experience, which will be to their advantage in making for a successful season. The boys team will be led by senior Chris Willette who is looking to strongly finish up his senior year of running, followed closely by our veteran boys to cap off the top five scorers.”

In Chazy, it’s the girls turn to go for three in a row

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com

CHAZY — Call it a title “three-fence,” or the opportunity to “three-peat.” Either way, the small Chazy Central Rural School is at it again.

In 2011, it was the boys soccer program that came painfully close to achieving back-to-back-to-back New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D titles, falling 1-0 in the championship game to Hamilton.

This year, it is the Lady Eagles who will look to win their third straight title.

“It has been a great pre-season,” Head Coach Karin Sherman Trombley said. “We know what the goal is here and we know what we want to do. I hand out a questionnaire at the beginning of each season to the players, and they all put down that they want to return to the Final Four.”

Trombley has kept the Lady Eagles program on its traditional winning path over her first four seasons at the helm, with an eye-popping record of 80-4-2 (the team went 20-1-1 in 2011). During the pre-season and throughout divisional play, she stresses the importance of being mentally prepared for the tough moments and tough games.

“We always have to play soccer the way that Chazy plays the game,” she said. “We need to constantly be focused on the style that we play and stay away from the emo-

Trombley said that keeping a mental focus can be challenging at some times of adversity, especially for a team that does not see a lot of it.

“We focus on the fact that we need to work hard together and support each other on the field no matter what,” she said.

“It’s okay to cry when the game is over, but we need to keep it together when we are in between the lines.”

Trombley said that keeping things together has been stressed in this pre-season because there are a lot of new faces on the practice field.

“We are very young with an eighth grader that will be starting for us,” she said.

“Our whole defense is back, but we will have two new starters there. Everyone of these new players wants to get to the final four, but they may not realize how hard you have to work every day to get there.”

To help the new players realize what it will take to get back to the biggest weekend of the season, Trombley will not rely solely on her experiences.

“Megan Reynolds and Lindsay Hack have really stepped up as leaders,” Trombley said. “It means a lot to these players who want to go for their senior year. It’s

been great to watch the captains and the change in their mentality and attitude as they take on this responsibility.”

Reynolds and Hack are joined in the captain rolls by junior Amber Polomsky and sophomore Kinnan Latremore.

“I have played since I was eight and have always been looking up to the players that were older than me,” Reynolds, a fifth year varsity player, said. “It has been a cool experience to be a captain and a team leader.

I try to be positive all of the time, be loud so my teammates can hear me and talk to the entire team.”

“Every day we let the newcomers know what it is going to take to get to where we want to be,” Hack said. “The new players know how much it means to get to a final four and a championship, but they do not have the experience and do not truly know everything that goes into it. We have to work hard every day, every practice and every game. Then, they will be able to get that experience.”

“We have to build off of each other ’s experiences and talents,” Latremore said. “I have been friends with these girls for a long time. We know how to talk to each other and keep everyone positive.”

“There is a lot of potential on this team,” Polomsky said. “I feel that when we get it together and it starts clicking, there are going to be a lot of girls that have a lot to give to this team and this season.”
