Candidates talk in Elizabethtown

keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder spoke to those assembled at the Lake Placid Crowne Plaza about border security Sept. 14, during a noontime keynote address.

Holder spoke about improving relations between the governments of the U.S. and Canada when it came to, "achieving our shared public safety objectives," according to Holder.

“You’ve discussed successful investigations, prosecutions, extraditions, and crime-prevention strategies,” Holder said. “You’ve shared best practices as well as innovative ideas for combating terrorism, cybercrime, drug trafficking, financial fraud schemes, and organized criminal networks. And, above all,

Family Pack #2

ELIZABETHTOWN — The 23rd annual Field, Forest and Stream day will have help from its friends for the Sept. 24 event.

“We tried to incorporate more things for people to come and see,” said Caroline Thompson, director of the Arts Council for the northern Adirondacks. “We have suffered huge budget cuts, so we had an Elizabethtown Community Committee made up of the chamber and other organizations.”

Two of those organizations, Families First and the Elizabethtown Community Center, will be holding events in conjunction with the activities around the Adirondack History Center.

“Families First is now a partner with us, as is the Elizabethtown Social Center,” Thompson said. “Families First will have a cider press at their building and there will be a Frisbee Festival at the social center.”

To get people around between the sites, Thompson said that there will be a horsedrawn wagon ride that will take people from place to place.

Along with the new events, there will be plenty for the avid fan of Field, Forest and Stream days to do.

“We have all of these new things, but there will be a lot of the storytelling and

performers that people have come to enjoy,” Thompson said. “We do have some different performers, but we also have Bill Smith, who has been here for all but one of the events.”

Smith is joined by storytellers Karen Glass and Ben Raino; 14-year old bluegrass fiddler Dorothy Jane Siver; and Christopher Layer and Eamon O’Leary doing traditional folk songs, as well as roaming throughout the day on the bagpipes.

Smokey Bear and Forest Ranger Rob will also be on hand, as well as the return of the interactive presentation, “Adirondack Owls and Raptor,” with Trish Marki.

Thompson said that there will be plenty of vendors at the event, and that the organization had waived the vendor fee for those who may have been hit by the recent storms.

The 23rd annual Field, Forest and Stream day will be held on Saturday, Sept.

24, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Elizabethtown at the Adirondack History Center. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors 60+, and free for those 15 and under.

Elizabethtown Dems host ‘Meet the Candidates’ night at Hand House

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Candidates for the positions of Essex County Clerk, Elizabethtown Town Supervisor and Elizabethtown Council all made a case for their election Sept. 15.

The seven candidates were part of the Elizabethtown Democratic Committee’s “Meet the Candidates Night,” hosted at the Hand House and moderated by Denton Publications Publisher Dan Alexander.

Brent Vosburg, running for the position of county clerk, was the lone candidate for the job, as incumbent clerk Joe Provoncha was unable to attend.

“I am very familiar with the procedures there,” Vosburg said. “I will be a county clerk only, and I have no interest with all of these other titles that the current clerk now holds. I will do the best job possible and treat everyone with the utmost respect.”

Incumbent Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew, III, is running against Margaret Bartley.

“In any small town, services is a balance of cost and availability,” Merrihew said.

“Anyone that has knowledge of these things and can answer the communities questions is a valuable tool. The town is doing very well, and doing so on very conservative budgets. The local level is the most important, most rewarding level and I will contin-

ue to be open and responsive.”

“I ran because I have ideas for the future of Elizabethtown and I have ideas from the community for the future of Elizabethtown,” Bartley said. “I want to have the town hall open five days a week. As the county seat, I feel we should be open and available Monday through Friday.”

Bartley added that she wanted to create a town benefit fund to pay for special projects.

In the Elizabethtown council race, Evelyn Hatch, James Phillips, Michael Doyle and Ben Morris are looking to fill two seats that are being vacated by retiring councilman Phil Hutchins and Michael McGinn, who is leaving to focus more on his role as head of CSEA in Essex County, among other interests.

“I really, really love this town and its people - it has been very good to me,” Hatch said. “I will be willing to learn and listen. I want to work with the comprehensive plan, because this is a project that we should all be involved in one way or another.”

“I think that there are things in this town that need changes,” Phillips said. “There’s things that I can do to help this town and I will do the best that I can do. The fire department and the DPW are very important departments with a lot of responsibility, and we need to help them.”

“I have the time and ability to work with and help the town,” Doyle said. “I want to help see that several upcoming projects reach a successful conclusion. My main in-

“I see a lot of valuable assets that we can continue to utilize and improve for the community,” Morris said. “We can also take a

look at what has gone wrong recently with the storms and make sure that it is brought back better than it was before.”

The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 8.

e had the lightest of frosts last week, just enough to kill Amy’s squash vines but mercifully sparing the other flowers and vegetables. My tomatoes are still highly productive, and our kitchen counter is covered with them in all stages of ripeness. It’s sort of an assembly line, with the greener ones starting at the far end and moving towards the left as they turn red, until the cook picks out what he needs. Some varieties turn red but never really mature, while others start to go bad the minute they’re ready to eat. In a couple of weeks all this bounty will be a memory, with dreary canned tomatoes waiting their turn in the cupboard.

Prolific author, artist and man about town Doug Peden is having an article published in the distinguished academic journal Leonardo, entitled “Wave Space Art with Science.” Leonardo, published by the MIT Press, is the journal of the International Society for the Arts, Science and Technology, and Doug’s article will appear next year.

There’s going to be a chili dinner and barn dance at Black Kettle Farm to benefit Lakeshore Preschool. The dinner is at 5:30 p.m., with dancing starting at 7 p.m. Black Kettle is nestled in the Boquet hills high above Whallonsburg, at the intersection of Cook and Leaning Roads. Pete the popular fiddling Vermonter will be on the band stand.

I’m getting a little ahead of myself with this one, but on Thursday, Oct. 6, the Whallonsburg Grange will host a talk by Dr. Brenda Buchanan of Bath University in England. She is an expert on the history of gunpowder, and her talk is entitled “On the Gunpowder: Trail from Ancient China to Lake Champlain.” The typical American would assume gunpowder experts to be hard-bitten, hard drinking and heavily bearded, but Dr. Buchanan is described as a slim, white-haired and thoroughly British lady. In the world of historians, she’s got the reputation of being the leading expert on this surprisingly complex subject, and her talk, which starts at 7:30 p.m., should be fascinating.

t's been a while since I wrote a column about the Ambulance Squad, and since I'm pressed for time today because of an ambulance run this morning, it seemed like a good time to check in on the subject. Plus, readers seem to enjoy hearing about it, from the comments I get in conversation.

The run this morning came at about 9 a.m., and since it was a weekday I knew my turn was up. Most of our members are working (many of them out of town) on weekdays. Since as a writer I work at home, that's the time when I try to be extra available. Our other EMTs who are most often available during weekdays are Jack Napper, Judy Napper, and Ben Sudduth, but each of us has times when we need to be at work and can't respond. Jim Westover Jr. usually drives the rig.

There were two calls over the weekend that I didn't go on, since I was working then (though I always monitor the pager in case more manpower is needed). They had Nappers and Westovers responding on

he NCSPCA is excited to say that our Matching Fund - toward purchase of a new shelter - is now over 60-percent of the way to our goal. We would like to thank all of the generous individuals who have opened their hearts and their wallets to this very important cause. We need an additional $50,000 toward our goal of $250,000 in order to make our dream a reality.

We are grateful as well, that the three individuals who created the Fund have decided to extend the original, October deadline to give the community more time to raise the remaining funds toward building this much-needed new shelter. Until the new deadline of Nov. 1, every dollar you contribute to our Matching Fund will be matched dollar-for-dollar. The new shelter will be larger, environmentally friendly, and state-of-the-art offering much-needed improvements over our currently cramped space and outdated facilities. To learn more about the Fund, please visit our website at www.ncscpa.org.

Our featured pet this week is George, a stunningly beautiful grey tabby Domestic Shorthair-mix with piercing, golden-green

eyes and a sweet personality. George loves to find a warm lap in which to cuddle on a cold evening in front of the television. He adores attention of any kind and can't seem to get enough petting and love. You may find that he likes to perch on your shoulder for a better view of what's going on around him... and the opportunity to purr his happiness in your ear! If you are looking for a cat who has a laid-back personality and returns as much love as you give, George is the cat for you!

nother quiet week in Keeseville as the village is getting ready for the fall season. Leaf pick-up will be happening throughout the village during October. The recent water bill had a flyer which posted the dates and times and I will report this as we get closer to October. Those who noticed a slight increase in the bill should know that this is the month for the annual fees to be tacked on to the bill. I am impressed with how nice the village looks during my walks after all the damage caused by Irene.

I understand that the work on Jaycee Park is coming along nicely as well. Anyone interested in helping out should contact the Village Office for more information.

The Keeseville Free Library is on the Winter Hours schedule now and things are quieting down after the busy summer. I found I switched and copied the wrong hours last week my sincere apologies for any confusion. The correct Winter hours are Monday 1 to 7 p.m.; Tuesday and Wednesday 10 a.m. until noon and 1 until 5

e flipped the calendar to September still looking for some good fall weather, but it has been on the colder side and we have had warnings to cover our garden items at night. Let’ hope that we still have some good fall days ahead, it is the start of the school soccer season and they like the better weather. There still seems to be some scattered yard sales each weekend. so if you are a fan keep watch for these special offerings.

The Paine Library reported a very successful summer season, all of their fund raisers did very well and the money goes to enhance needed items at the library. It was also great to hear of their efforts at keeping so many children reading over the summer school vacation time. Community events are still very active and there is a variety of things to take part in over the next few weeks. I got an e-mail from Joyce Marcianti who is a volunteer at the Animal Shelter and due to several conditions they now have an over load of dogs and cats in need of good homes. If you are interested

just get in touch or visit the Westport shelter.

As the weather turns colder we are aware of the need for good warm outer clothing, so to this end there is a drive started to collect gently used winter coats, mittens, boots. hats and etc. These will be made available to persons in need within our community. If you have such donations they can be dropped off at the local school or the town hall. In turn if you know of a family in need contact Lane Sayward at 963-7974 or 572-6426 and share the need and state the items and size needed.

Welcome to our new neighbors here on Mountain View Drive, Rick and Joann Sanders, they are the new owners of the house recently renovated by Sam Blanchard.

We send our sympathy to the Garvey family upon learning that Hazel (Garvey) Ryder passed away recently out in California.

24, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The program includes music, story-tellers, art and craft vendors, bag pipers, wooden children’s toys and games, Adirondack Barbeque, homemade pies, local authors and artists.

New this year will be two additional locations for fun. Children of all ages can ride Bernard Duso’s horse and wagon from the Museum to the Cider Press at Families First on Water Street. Besides cranking the press to make cider, there will be face painting and crazy games and races for kids.

Also on Sept. 24, the Social Center is sponsoring a Frisbee Festival and Tournament on the Hale House Lawn from 1 a.m. to 2 p.m. The national award-winning trick dog team Super Nova Disc Dogs will put on a show at noon. Call 873-6408 if you want to compete.

Also, check out the deep discounts on the summer clothes.

We hope Lincoln Pond Road will be open soon. Since the flood, traveling between Etown and places in Moriah has been difficult. South of the village, a temporary bridge is being installed at Lobdell Lane so the residents will soon be able to drive to their homes instead of leaving their cars on Route 9.

Monday, Sept. 26, is school picture day.

These photos will last a lifetime and will certainly make for funny stories decades from now.

This year marks the Pleasant Valley Chorale’s 25th Anniversary. Founded in 1986 by Joe Wyant, the community choir has 50 members, and new members are always welcome. Rehearsals are held on Tuesday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Social Center. They will be preparing for the December Holiday concerts, under the direction of Susan Hughes and accompanist Mary Lu Kirsty. Call 873-7319 if you would like to join in the musical fun.

Keeseville Elementary School has a School Board of Education meeting on Sept. 21. I also want to thank the Family School Association who picked up all the school supplies for all the students. In these economically rough times every little bit helps and this is a wonderful gesture.

The Elks is having their annual Ball on October 4th and tickets are now on sale at the Lodge which is next to the Church of Immaculate Conception just up the hill from downtown..

I have seen signs but have not had a chance to visit Clover Mead Farm and their new sandwich shop or the Friday only chicken and ribs BBQ from Harold but this would make a nice fall drive before the winter season.

those calls, too, I do believe.

Everyone on the squad responds when they can, but I'm here to testify that Nappers and Westovers have elevated emergency response into an art form. I don't know what we'd do in town if not for them, and the many others who have served much longer than myself. Actually, I do know. We'd be paying a couple of hundred grand or more a year for a professional service. Talk about your high taxes!

So please consider joining the squad. It's a great thing to do, for example, if you're retired and have a little time on your hands, especially (though not necessarily) if you have any kind of medical background at all. Please think about it. We would welcome you.

Next up in my lecture series at the Whallonsburg Grange, I'll be talking about the history behind the exciting novel King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard, a rousing tale of greed and adventure set in Africa during Victorian times. That's Tuesday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m.

John G. Chesnut, 76 April 12, 1935 - Sept. 15, 2011 ELIZABETHTOWN — John G. Chesnut, 76, of 44 Lawrence Way, died Thursday Sept. 15, 2011 at the Elizabethtown Community Hospital. He was born April 12, 1935 in Philadelphia, Pa., the son of D. Lee and Viola (Swanson) Chesnut.

John graduated Plattsburgh State and taught for a year in Elizabethtown before starting his career in technology. He worked for IBM, GE, Honeywell and Bull as a Sr. Staff Supervisor and was in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. John was very community oriented and loved to worship in his church. He was a longtime member of the United Church of Christ in Elizabethtown, serving as a past Treasurer, Trustee, and member of the choir.

Disaster recovery centers seek information keith@denpubs.com LEWIS — The Public Information Officer for the federal agency helping the North Country in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene wants people to sign up and then come to the Disaster Relief Centers for help.

Panagiotis “Peter” Lembessis, PIO for FEMA programs in Clinton, Essex and Warren counties, said that the best way for people to get help is to register and then contact their DRC. “I really urge people to call our hotline or to go online and register,” Lembessis said. “Then, we can know what questions

they are going to have and know how to better help each person as they come into the DRC.” Lembessis said that if there is no other way to register, then people will still be welcome to register at the DRC. “That’s why the centers are there,” he said. “If you need help, go to them. We just urge people to register before so we can better help them.”

Lembessis said that relief programs are going to start being put into place, so people with issues should contact them as quickly as possible.

“The state is doing a great job with their resources,” Lembessis said. “Registration right now is the key. After that, you will

have a lot of choices.”

Currently, there are DRC’s in Au Sable Forks, Moriah and Lake Luzerne town hall, and a mobile FEMA station will be either at the Mooers fire department or Plattsburgh town hall, depending on the day.

Essex County Emergency Operations Center will be closing Wednesday at noon though call and coordination efforts will continue for Essex County. Residents are encouraged to apply with FEMA by calling 1-800-621-3362 and completing the Essex County’s Disaster and Flood Damage Survey.

Valley News Editorial

The answer is not foreign workers

N

ews last week that Vermont has long had a standing policy of “looking the other way” when it comes to migrant workers residing in this country illegally has disturbed many around the region.

The announcement was made Sept. 15 by Gov. Peter Shumlin after two Mexican laborers were pulled over by Vermont state troopers, detained and later turned over to U.S. Border Patrol Agents.

The troopers were following the law, but Shumlin made it clear that he wants his state to be able to interpret the law as it sees fit — meaning not turn over undocumented workers to the federal government for deportation.

“We have always had a policy in Vermont where we kind of look the other way as much as we can,” the governor told reporters. “I just want to make sure that’s what we’re doing.”

“We know the federal government wants to send them home. And we don’t,” he said.

Comments from readers have ranged from those sympathetic to the workers and the farmers who often have difficulty filling badly needed minimum wage positions, to utter outrage against a governor who would support jobs for illegals over jobs for his own state’s unemployed.

There is certainly merit in both arguments, but from our perspective it appears Shumlin was simply being honest.

Right or wrong, the fact is migrant workers do make up a significant number of employees in places where American citizens just don’t want to work for the paycheck offered — like dairy farms. Like meat processing plants. And, politicians have been turning their backs to it for decades.

Shumlin was just manning up and telling it like it is: It’s going on all over the country.

While Shumlin’s honesty is refreshing, his methodology is anything but.

First, he is advocating for breaking the law, not changing it.

Regardless of his personal beliefs, Shumlin can’t take an oath to uphold the laws of his state in one breath and then tell state troopers to look the other way in another.

At the same time, workers in this country who are not citizens — who do no possess a valid social security card and identification — bring their own host of problems with them.

From crushing impacts on our health care

system to the inability to hold them accountable for taxes to skewing our census, the fact is problems arise when we factor migrant workers into the population.

That cannot be denied, wether you believe they belong here or not. Therefore, Shumlin should be working to change the system, not figuring out ways to circumvent it.

Finally, there is the argument that migrant workers take jobs away from citizens of this country. If that is truly not the case, then we have a much deeper problem.

With nearly one in 10 Americans without a job and workers needed in jobs being taken by those who do not reside here legally, than we have both a welfare system and work ethic that need changing.

This country was built on hard work by the unentitled; it is time we go back to that way of thinking. There is something very wrong with a society that pays its people not to work.

A solution to both our unemployment problem and our illegal immigrant problem would be to put our unemployed U.S. citizens in the jobs held by, as Shumlin put it, “guest workers” from outside the country.

Make it a condition of collecting an unemployment check each week that a citizen spend a certain number of hours working at a farm or other industry in need. Potential employers could be added to a list which could be distributed to those collecting unemployment.

Workers could then prove they’ve put their time in before the next check would be handed over.

The system would save places like dairy farms in overhead — putting people to work that the government is already paying to be unemployed — while teaching life skills to those who would otherwise be sitting home collecting from the government.

At last count, nearly 40,000 people in Vermont and 1.3 million in New York were out of work. If Gov. Shumlin’s solution to the unemployment problem is to give the jobs we do have to those illegally in our country, then his plan is seriously flawed.

GUESTVIEWPOINT Lending a helping hand to Au Sable, Upper Jay, by Mike Corey

U

pon arrival at the gathering/distribution center in Elizabethtown, one could tell that something big was going to happen. Folks who came to help milled about and mingled with coordinators from Essex County, New York State, and the National Guard. There was an air of expectation, a feeling that something important and vital was going on. It was busy and crowded, but there was organization.

It was one of first gatherings of the Governor ’s Hurricane Recovery Team’s Labor for Your Neighbor initiative, which was organized to help assist storm-damaged communities in the very damaging wake of Tropical Storm Irene. On the morning of Sept. 4, we joined the crowds at the staging area at one of the buildings at the Essex County complex, figuring we would get a cleanup assignment, but wondering how it was all going to work. After a relatively short period of time, we joined four other people as a cleanup team of six. Our team gathered up our equipment, lunch, and water, and boarded a small county-owned bus for our trip to Au Sable Forks, an area that was particularly hard hit by flooding and power outages. Heading north and then west to our destination, we were all amazed at the results of the destructive force that was the Ausable River following the Aug. 28 storm.

Our team’s plan was to join another group of six helpers at the home of a family that lives along the Ausable River ’s east branch, upstream of the center of Au Sable Forks. We arrived to find the other team already hauling sopping, mud-encrusted belongings from the basement of the home.

We grabbed our shovels and disappeared beneath the house via a hole that had been opened through the concrete block foundation. For the next two hours, we (wearing our extremely useful hardhats) quietly hauled soaked and muddied personal belongings from the basement followed by two hours of shoveling large volumes of

mud and concrete into wheelbarrows for disposal into a pit that was periodically emptied by a backhoe parked outside the hole in the basement wall. The pile of soaked and muddied things in the driveway grew large. Mud was everywhere, and people worked steadily — there was a job

What do we tell our kids?

while their future hangs in the balance, Democrats and Republicans in Washington hold their respective party lines while collectively abandoning the interests of America to the lost winds of frustration politics? I believe that we need to tell our children what is happening so that they can help to create the change that will be needed to bring America back into a reasonable position. Should we tell our children that the gap between the rich and poor is larger now than when the pilgrims landed?

Should we tell them that our politicians and banking, financial community have created laws that make out of the county investments more desirable than investing in America.

Many of these investments have occurred in China, Mexico and Asian rim countries?

Should we tell them that none of these countries observe any environmental protection practices or civil rights protections? In fact China told American environmentalists that it wasn’t fair to expect them to observe any environmental or civil right practices because the United States did not observe any during their economic ascendancy. When I was graduating high school I knew boys who went to working factories and they made family sustaining wages right out of high school. Most of those job have been sent out of the county where circumstances are much more desperate and employees will work for much less and will tolerate abuse and exploitation. There was a time when the best stuff, cars, clothes; electronics, steel and so on were made here in America. As an antique enthusiast, I have seen the proud labeling that once adorned our washing machines, radios and other manufactured goods. It was big, bold shiny and one hundred percent American.

Maybe I am wrong, and this apparent disaster will work out just fine and it would be better if our children don’t know what is going on just as my peers and I did not know that the government endorsed the abuse, discrimination and murderer of African Americans.

Remember, all kids count.

rowing up the images that I saw on television seemed as though they were occurring in a strange land, not in America. American policemen and National Guardsmen wielded heavy clubs that crashed down on the heads of African Americans and the whites that supported them.

Men like Malcolm X and Martin Luther King had their telephones illegally wire tapped by the FBI and the local police force Many Americans didn’t know what to think about African Americans that fought against police brutality and blatant discrimination. The protesters were breaking the law and that was what the media focused on initially. Only after many had died, been imprisoned or had their lives ruined did the focus shift to the essential wrongness of discriminatory practices. As children of that era we were not given the perspective that government supported discrimination was wrong. We did not know this until much later on. While discrimination still occurs, the government no longer endorses those actions. Just imagine, the United States Supreme Court upheld slavery at one time, that fact still seems frightening even today.

Today, Americans are confronting a new downward mobility that on the surface feels very un-American. Record home foreclosures, high unemployment, over 50 million Americans with no health insurance and having the highest rate of children living in poverty among the world’s industrialized democracies offers an ominous forecast if major changes do not occur.

to do.

Water levels in the Ausable River rose 20 feet following the Aug. 28 storm. The basement of the home we were working in was flooded to the top of the 7-foot-high basement ceiling and a couple of feet high within the living space (immediately above the basement) of the ranch-style home. We had a chance to take a look at the tame and pleasant-looking river nearby — less than a week before the river was a raging and destructive torrent. The damage to this family’s home and the upsetting of the family members’ lives was evident. We had a chance to speak with parents and kids, and their strength of purpose and resolve was amazing.

At the end of the day, we were wet, muddy, and beat, but we had managed to help people who truly appreciated what we had done. The good feeling one gets from volunteering time and energy was present in all who came out for this “Labor for Your Neighbor” effort.

At the same, we know that the recovery is far from over and encourage all to call 211 (the United Way statewide telephone number that will link you to volunteer cleanup opportunities around New York State).

Mike Corey participated in the Labor for Your Neighbor event. He is a contributing writer for Denton Publications.

Dear residents: First of all I offer my sincere sympathy for your losses. It breaks my heart to see the constituents I represent in such emotional distress.

Please feel free to contact my office at 6472204 or 647-2201 if you have any questions or need assistance. We will do our best to accommodate your requests.

Today the town of Jay is sending code enforcement officers from numerous surrounding towns and counties to your homes to assess your damages. We are so gracious to these municipalities, elected officials and employees for assisting us in our time of need.

Although we know you have filled out numerous forms at this point, we are sincerely asking you to cooperate in providing this information as we move forward. The code enforcement officer is there to assess your damages and to make a determination if your house is indeed repairable and habitable.

Many of you have requested information regarding a federal buyout of your home. Please contact us for FEMA information. I also encourage you to visit the FEMA website at www.fema.gov.

I know many of you have been flooded two to three times since March and have had enough, and I will support you in your efforts if you would like to be considered for a buyout. Please be advised, however, that this is a lengthy process and there are no guarantees.

I ask you to contact us, indicating whether you would like your home to be included in a Federal Buyout Application. I also want you to know I will support this process wholeheartedly, but I do worry about the town of Jay losing our identity and many of the citizens and families that have been here for generations. If we are successful in our application on your behalf, I would ask that you look at the possibility of relocating in a safer area within the town of Jay. We as a town board have been very successful at stabilizing our town budget for over the last seven years, having less than a 2 percent average increase during this timeframe. We have done so by eliminating unneeded expenses from our annual budget and by being fiscally responsible.

However, if we lose our residents to neighboring towns or counties, our budget will not be able to sustain this financial hit and the residents left behind will incur the cost of running the town.

I know this may not be the proper time to be talking budgets, as I know your family budgets have all taken a dramatic hit. I know this may be premature, but if the town of Jay is successful in our buyout application, again any consideration of relocating within the town of Jay would be greatly appreciated.

I also want to remind everyone that we are continuing to raise funds for town of Jay residents and businesses affected by Hurricane Irene. To date, we have raised over $30,000 and many organizations are planning fundraisers on our behalf. In the near future I will be naming a selection committee to oversee how best these funds will be distributed. The committee will be chaired by Deputy Supervisor Archie Depo and will have community members from all hamlets affected. If you know of anyone who would like to donate to this fund, they can send a donation to: Town of Jay Irene Relief Fun, P.O. Box 730, Au Sable Forks, NY 12912.

Another reminder, to be eligible for a portion of these funds, you must be in the town of Jay’s system. Therefore, if you registered directly with FEMA, we highly encourage you to call town of Jay at 647-2204, so we have the information the selection committee will need to consider you for funding.

Lastly, we still have many cleaning supplies and personal hygiene products that were purchased and donated if you need some. Please stop by the Supervisor ’s Office at 11 School Lane in Au Sable Forks, or call and we will deliver to you Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

In the immediate future, I, my staff, elected officials and all town of Jay officials will keep you in our thoughts and prayers that your lives will return to some normalcy in the very near

future!

My best to you all!

Sincerely, Randall T. Douglas and town of Jay Board

Thankful for fire dept.

To the Valley News: The Town of Lewis Fire Department members who were called out numerous times as a result of the damage caused by Hurricane Irene are to be commended for their service to this community. Also, beyond the emergency calls they responded to, they spent many hours in helping the citizens of our town and neighboring communities with cellar pump-outs, use of portable generators, etc. They also visited residents to make sure they were okay and to see if any needed any assistance.

We are also grateful to other community volunteers who assisted in helping during this time of need.

The Town of Lewis Fire District Board of Commissioners wishes to thank these volunteers for their service as we are sure many of the town residents do also.

Board of Commissioners Town of Lewis Fire District

Volunteers excellent To the editor: Once again, Essex County has benefited from the hard work and perseverance of its volunteer forces as seen during the cataclysmic visit of Hurricane Irene. Make no mistake, even worse damage, losses, and yes, even loss of lives would have occurred was it not for the leadership and participation of our volunteer fire departments, volunteer citizens, and public service employees, all working in concert with the town road crews. While Essex is considered a “poorer” county by many, these volunteers showed just how rich we are. The number of paid employees in county towns is sparse at best, so the arrival of volunteers and their leadership in many cases is beyond commendation. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, never have so many owed so much to so few.

Not surprisingly, while Essex County towns had emergency action plans, a retrospective examination of actions taken through the “Irene days” revealed one constant voluntary leadership.

For example, in the town of Essex, we were most fortunate to have had an experienced leadership group such as Deputy Town Supervisor Mark Wrisley, Frank Walls, Ron Jackson, Road Commissioner Jim Morgan and Fire District #2 Chief Kyle Wrisley stepping up and planning activity before Irene arrived. Acting in concert and using a team decision-making approach, these men, along with volunteer firemen and women, not only preplanned needed action but were on continuous duty from the outset of the storm and into its aftermath. They visited and evacuated homeowners, arranged ambulance services, pumped out uncountable flooded buildings, whilst the town road employees opened roads. These and other volunteers remained continuously active for over 40-plus consecutive hours.

While disastrous home losses in the town of Essex occurred only in the Whallonsburg area, the entire township joined to provide help.

Typical of services provided after Irene was the Essex Methodist Church immediately provided hot meals and supporting service functions which is now being supplemented by St. John’s Episcopal Church; the Essex Renew shop is providing funds and materials; Essex Initiatives made fund contributions; and our Whallonsburg Civic Association, in addition to providing use of its Grange Hall, conducted a hugely successful fundraising event. Additionally, the Essex Community Fund is beginning a fundraising drive.

I am absolutely positive that such townwide volunteer support, leadership and service were replicated throughout the county. We are proud of the way Essex responded to “Irene.”

It’s not the first (or last) time we were recipients of Essex County’s eminent resource — its people.

Essex County assesses work done to roads in wake of flooding

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Department of Public Works committee Sept. 19 took time to assess the work that h a d b e e n d o n e a ro u n d t h e a re a s i n c e Tropical Storm Irene hit the region Aug. 28.

“We have made a lot of progress on the roads that need repair,” Deputy Manager Robert Levielle said. “We are getting the d a n g e ro u s t h i n g s c a u g h t u p , a n d c o m pleted and we are now into the things that will take a longer term to get done.”

“The amount of work that has been accomplished since the night of this storm has been unbelieveable,” Moriah Super-

visor Thomas Scozzafava said.

L e v i e l l e s a i d t h a t t h e re a re c u r re n t l y eight bridges that are in need of replacement, with more bridges scheduled for inspection.

“We have eight no-brainers where the bridge is just gone,” Levielle said. “We are in the middle of the inspection activities right now.”

Scozzafava said that he was concerned that the bridge in Moriah Center may have to be closed down, and said that he w o u l d h o p e t h e y c o u l d d o re p a i r s o n e lane at a time.

“It is one of the major roadways in Essex County,” Scozzafava said. “It would affect a lot of businesses along the road and detours would be many miles. These businesses would not be able to survive.”

Levielle said that there was also disp l a c e m e n t i n t h e c o u n t y, w h e re p e o p l e who worked in the Public Health Department had to be moved out of their basement offices because of flooding. “ T h e re w a s e x t e n s i v e d a m a g e t o t h e f i s h h a t c h e r y, ” L e v i e l l e s a i d . “ We h a v e had a contractor there looking at it.”

Board Chairman Randall “Randy” Douglas also said that the county needs to look into shoring up brooks and rivers before the spring.

“The flows of these rivers and brooks h a v e c h a n g e d d r a m a t i c a l l y, ” D o u g l a s said. “It’s to the point where just a little bit of water will cause flooding. If we wait until the ice jams in the spring to do something, I will lose half of my town.”

During the meeting, both Douglas and

Keene Supervisor William “Bill” Ferebee thanked members of the board and staff for their help in two of the towns hit hardest by the wrath of Tropical Storm Irene.

“I want to thank all of those who have offered their help and called with their support in the past month,” Ferebee said.

“The support that we have gotten has been unbelievable,” Douglas said. “This has been the most trying and emotional time in my life, besides losing a family member.”

“You drive around and see the damage, and it is amazing that we did not lose any citizens in Essex County,” Levielle said. “ T h e c re w s h a v e d o w n a p h e n o m e n a l job.”

ELIZABETHTOWN — A new bus route between Elizabethtown and Saranac Lake is scheduled to start service Oct. 3.

“There is an interest in this route,” Nancy Dougal, Essex County Transportation Coordinator, said about the new Cascade Express bus service line.

“Originally, it was just going to be between Elizabethtown and Lake Placid, but then we decided to expand the route to Ray Brook and also to North Country Community College.”

Dougal said that the new route is part of a changeover throughout the

transportation system.

“In an effort to meet the needs of our communities we have developed new schedules for all of our routes,” Dougal said. “The Cascade Express will operate between Elizabethtown and Saranac Lake. We will travel in the morning from Elizabethtown to Lake Placid, Ray Brook and NCCC in Saranac Lake, back to Elizabethtown. In the afternoon, we will travel from Lake Placid to NCCC to Ray Brook to Elizabethtown back to Lake

Placid.”

Dougal said that the route will operate 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. to areas in North Elba and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. shifts to areas in Elizabethtown.

“We are getting the word out because we want to have riders from the first day,” Dougal said. “The route will be on our website.”

Dougal said that the addition on the route to Ray Brook and North Country Community will help those that work at the state or go to school get there, or pro-

Willsboro voters to decide future of DPW commissioner Ballot prop to decide elected or appointed post starting in 2012

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — With the possibility of current Willsboro Department of Public Works commissioner Peter Jacques retiring at the end of his term in 2013, the voters of Willsboro have to answer the question of how his replacement will be chosen.

The Willsboro town council voted 4-0 at its Sept. 12 meeting to place a proposition on the Nov. 8 ballot to let the voters decide whether the position should be an elected or appointed one starting in 2014.

Jacques, who will have

spent 30 years in public service at the end of his term, said that nothing is official, but he was leaning toward retiring.

“The question that we want to ask people is whether they want to have an appointed DPW head or if they want to continue to elect that position,” Willsboro Supervisor Edward “Ed” Hatch said.

Willsboro formed a Department of Public Works in 1993, which combines the highway, water and sewer services into one entity.

Hatch said that whoever replaces Jacques would have to either already have the qualifications or would have to be trained on the town’s dime if not qualified.

“The next DPW commissioner will be required to be licensed for water, sewer and be able to operate the highway department equipment,” Hatch said. “They

need to have experience in all departments, and the question that needs to be answered is if we can accomplish that better by election of appointment.”

Hatch also said that a move from elected to appointed would give the town board more of a say in the department’s workings.

“Under the present situation, the town board controls the budget and the commissioner controls the operations,” Hatch said. “Under an appointment, the town board would have control of the operations.”

Hatch said that the proposition was, in his mind, a “suggestion,” on how operations can be improved at a town level.

“Like everything else, government at all levels has to become more streamlined,” Hatch said. “In the end, this is the people’s choice.”

Hatch said that he hopes to get a discussion going about the issue, which will be a topic at the Wednesday, Oct. 5 meeting of the Willsboro town board, scheduled for 6 p.m. at the town offices.

Hatch added that there will also be an informal meeting that will be scheduled for something between the meeting at the Nov. 8 general election.

Ferebee has been in the spotlight in the wake of the recent flooding and destruction in the town where he has been the chief administrator since 2006.

Ferebee received 113 votes in the primary, while challenger to the seat Paul F. Vincent received 35 votes.

Vincent filed an Independent petition with the Essex County Board of Elections, and will be on the ballot as such during the General Election Nov. 8.

The Department of Environmental Conservation has been collecting fuel tanks that were involved in the flood and contaminated. These tanks need to be removed as they will rust from the inside out. If your tank was removed by the DEC and it was your primary source of fuel, please follow these guidelines.

Locals could save on energy costs

By Jon Hochschartner jonh@denpubs.com

LAKE PLACID — Local residents will have the opportunity to save on their energy bill with the expansion of Galway Co-op into Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.

The co-op was founded

by Michael Casadei and a group of neighbors in Galway in 2006 who sought to boost their buying power.

“Galway Co-op was formed in 2006 as a means to reduce our membership’s fuel cost,” Ben Neri, managing member of Galway Coop, said. “Today we have over 5,000 members.”

The organization recently expanded into the local region.

“Our new contracts allow us to go all the way up to Lake Placid-Saranac Lake area with both propane and fuel oil,” Neri said.

Getting involved with the co-op would save local residents money, Neri said.

“Essex County home owners should join our group because we can save them substantially on their propane and fuel oil cost,” Neri said. “In the near future we will be offering discount trash removal. There are other discounts also offered to our members that are listed on our web site.”

The discounted prices can add up to big savings.

“Fuel savings range from 20 cents a gallon to over $1 per gallon depending on the

others,” Sprague said. “We don’t necessarily give it out every year. We have to find somebody we think is worthy.”

O’Neill came to the restaurant believing she was giving a health-related lecture to the group. Instead, she found an audience made up of friends, family and well-wishers. She said she was “extremely” surprised.

“It’s just starting to sink in; it’s very exciting,” O’Neill said. “I’m prepared still to give a presentation on how to help people manage wellness.”

The good-natured subterfuge was achieved, Uhlik said, “through a collaborative effort of emails, phone calls, fibs, white lies and one almost-foot-inmouth.”

As more people join the co-op, the savings increase.

“The concept is simple,” Neri said. “The more members we get on board, the less we pay for products and services, and the more money charities receive.”

Not only do residents save themselves money, they’re also doing a good deed, Neri said.

“The Galway Co-op typically donates 10 percent of the proceeds generated to the local food pantries,” Neri said. “Our largest donations go to Breast Cancer Awareness and the Fight Against Autism.”

Lewis roads almost back in shape after storm

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com LEWIS — The Lewis town board has a lot of work still to do, but the recovery is progressing.

Members of the town board and town highway supervisor Eldred Hutchins talked about the recovery from Tropical Storm Irene during their Sept.

13 meeting.

“Seventeen town roads

were closed and we went on rides throughout the town for seven straight days assessing what needed to be done,” Hutchins said to the board.

“As of Sept. 13, the only one that was closed was the Jay Mountain Road.”

Hutchins said that Goff Hill was the biggest area that was hit by the storm, with a major washout.

“We spent a day-and-a-half on that project,” Hutchins

said. “In all, there were over 1,700 hours of overtime in the first week for the department.

We would have been deeply in the red if the state and federal government had not made this a major emergency.”

The board then issued a resolution of thanks to the highway department, as well as to the Moriah Shock crews and Jim Pulsifer for help during the recovery. Each resolution was unanimously seconded.

Willsboro graduate Morgan Jaquish is congratulated by Superintendent Stephen Broadwell.

Willsboro graduate perseveres

By Jon Hochschartner jonh@denpubs.com

86763

WILLSBORO — Determination pays off. It certainly did for Morgan Jaquish, who graduated Sept. 13 in a rare fall commencement at Willsboro Central School.

The 18-year-old explained why she was late receiving her diploma.

“I failed my U.S. history Regents, so I couldn’t graduate (in June),” Jaquish said.

She studied all summer in preparation for re-taking the test. The hardest part, Jaquish said, was “actually sitting down” and putting in the work because she wanted to do other things like hang out with friends. But at the end of the summer, she met her goal.

“I took the Regents at the end of the summer school, and I passed it,” Jaquish said.

In the minutes leading up to the graduation ceremony, Jaquish said she was very happy to be graduating, but a little nervous being the only student on the auditorium stage in front of an audience of fewer than 20 people.

“I just want to get it over with,” Jaquish said, adding she would have rather graduated with her whole class.

During the ceremony, WCS Superintendent Stephen Broadwell addressed the audience.

“As we all know, it’s not how long it takes us to complete a worthwhile goal,” Broadwell said. “The real success is in completing it.”

The superintendent lauded her tenacity.

“We are very proud of Morgan’s persistence, diligence and her efforts in passing the final state exit exam of the U.S. history regents,” Broadwell said. “Morgan now joins the graduating class of 2011.”

The superintendent urged her to use her education to make an impact.

“While a diploma is a piece of paper, it’s also a link to the future,” Broadwell said. “So my goal and request of Morgan is to use the knowledge you obtained, and the effort you used to obtain it, to make your mark on the world.”

Jaquish plans on attending Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh. She’s undecided what she wants to major in.

Holder Continued from page 1 you’ve forged and reinforced essential partnerships across areas of expertise, disciplines, jurisdictions, tribal communities, and international borders.”

Holder said that he hoped that the conference would lead to better cooperation between the two countries.

“I have no doubt that the conversations you’ve begun here in Lake Placid will lead to greater collaboration in the days ahead, and will enable all of us – Americans and Canadians, alike – to be more effective in fulfilling the responsibilities that we share: protecting the safety of our fellow citizens,” Holder said. “We can all be encouraged that the bond between the United States and Canada is stronger than ever.”

Holder said that he hoped that conferences like the one in Lake Placid would help bring new ideas and tactics to protecting the boarder.

“Today, a decade since the Cross Border Crime Forum was created, our nations have reached a crucial point for updating our goals, for modernizing our strategies, and for identifying the most effective, and most economically viable, ways to achieve our shared public safety objectives; to breakdown remaining barriers to cooperation; and to honor our common values,” Holder said, adding that this work needed to be done without infringing on the civil liberties of others.

“In protecting the security of our borders and the safety of our people, we will not abandon the values that have always defined the United States and aligned with great nations like Canada,” he said. “And we will never jeopardize every American’s – and every Canadian’s – guaranteed right to privacy. The protection of our civil liberties is of critical importance – to me, to the Justice Department, and to this administration.”

Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague that one area of importance between the two countries was in the area of cross designation.

“It would allow us to pursue a lead that takes us across the border and help us in that investigation and aprehension,” Sprague said.

Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie said that he felt the visit by Holder showed his interest in the plight of border law enforcement.

“It shows the commitment to the northern border and our efforts here,” Wylie said. “Help that we are looking for would be with some of the funding that we receive to help in our investigations on the state level.”

Derek Champagne, Franklin County District Attorney, said that he felt any new programs should focus on taking away any advantages that criminals and organized crime networks may now have.

“I received a text regarding 75-pounds of drugs seized on the border of St. Lawrence and Franklin County,” Champagne said. “It’s common place for us to have those kind of seizures.”

Saranac Lake goal to fill upper floors

By Jon Hochschartner jonh@denpubs.com

SARANAC LAKE — The Preservation League of New York State held a workshop Sept. 20 intended to help owners of downtown structures fill their often vacant or underutilized upper floors.

Workshop leaders advocated placing tenants and offices in these upper floors, and finding other mixed uses for downtown buildings, according to Erin Tobin, the Preservation League’s regional director of technical and grant programs for eastern New York.

“It’s primarily about putting people back on main street so that building owners aren’t relying solely on commercial storefront tenants,” Tobin said, adding that while the workshop was oriented toward the needs of Saranac Lake, the lessons taught at the event could be applied elsewhere.

The event is geared toward helping the community, said Amy Catania, executive director of Historic Saranac Lake, a sponsor of the event.

“It’s trying to focus on preserving and

revitalizing main street,” Catania said.

The workshop, entitled “Enhancing Main Street: Making upper floors work again,” will be held from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Saranac Laboratory Museum, 89 Church St. This program will provide immediately useful information for property owners, developers, and preservation professionals, including historic site managers, architects, consultants and accountants dealing with preservation project financing.

This workshop — open to people from any community, not just Saranac Lake — is in high demand across New York state, and this is the only time it is being offered in the North County in 2011. While the workshop is free, seating is limited, and participants must register by Sept. 16.

The workshop will include a number of featured presenters. Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau will welcome participants to the program; Historic Preservation Program Analyst William Krattinger from the NYS Historic Preservation Office will discuss the advantages of Historic District designa-

tion; Joe Fama, architect and Executive Director of the Troy Architectural Program in Troy, will explain how New York’s building codes and preservation can work together; Karl Gustafson of NYS Homes and Community Renewal will provide information on the New York State Main Street Program; Gary Beasley, Executive Director of Neighbors of Watertown, will discuss making the best use of upper floors.

The workshop is presented by the Preservation League of New York State and sponsored by Historic Saranac Lake; Adirondack Architectural Heritage; Empire State Development Corp.; NYS Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation; and NYS Homes and Community Renewal.

Golf tourney to benefit NCSPCA WESTPORT — The Gimmie Shelter Golf Tournament to benefit the North Country SPCA will be held on Friday, Oct. 7, at the Westport Country Club.

United Way of the Adirondack Region Executive Director John Bernardi said that the organization had built a support web throughout the counties of Clinton, Essex and Franklin.

“We have been playing connect the dots at the United Way,” Bernardi said. “What we have created is a web and a network of health and human services.”

“We need to find some way to fill the gap, and this organization does,” Gerald “Gerry” Morrow, Chesterfield town supervisor and Campaign chairman, said. “Each business has a champion that really pushes this campaign to their employees. We have set a goal of $775,000. It is a goal that is reasonable for us to meet and exceed, and I’m sure that we are going to do it.”

Larry Jeffords of Jeffords Steel in Plattsburgh said that he has always found ways to

get his employees involved in helping the United Way, even when he was a member of the military.

“I was assigned to be in charge of the campaign when I was at Fort Benning, and we thought, how about a day off for a day’s pay,” Jeffords said. “You know, we had 100 percent participation and after how good our division did, guess who was put in charge of the campaign for the battalion?”

Jeffords said that the participation level in his company is around 95 to 98 percent, and that he tries to match the employees’ donation, even as the company has grown.

“The one thing that we tell them is that they have the fortune of having a job while many others don’t,” Jeffords said. “We ask them to give whatever they think they can give and typically, they step up and do that.”

As part of the pacesetter program, which involves companies that participate in early fundraising drives, there has been $155,913.65 donated to the United Way, just over one-fifth of the goal for the 2012 campaign.

Red Storm runs past Lumberjacks for Mayor’s Cup; AVCS stuns GCS

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — After a tight first half, the Saranac Lake Red Storm football team jumped out for 21 points in the third quarter as they retained the Mayor ’s Cup trophy with a 33-12 victory against the Tupper Lake Lumberjacks Sept. 16.

“Once this offense starts rolling, it’s tough to stop,” Red Storm head coach Eric Bennett said after the game. “In the first half, we should have had more, but I told the team that we needed to be patient.”

The Red Storm took a 6-0 lead in the opening quarter when quarterback Matt Phelan connected with Devin Darrah on an 84-yard pass play, their response to Tupper Lake’s opening 17 play, 54-yard drive that stalled on the Red Storm’s 17 yard line.

“It was a huge lift,” Bennett said. “It’s good when our defense takes a team and their strength on and is able to stop it. Then we hit Darrah on the slant play and that was big.”

“We wanted to keep the ball out of their hands,” Tupper Lake head coach Dennis Klossner said. “We were doing a lot of good things and the something would happen that would set us back.”

“Devin made a great catch,” Phelan said.

“On the screen passes, out slots made a lot of great blocks to open things up for our ends.”

Phelan scored all three touchdowns the Red Storm scored in the third quarter on runs of 16, 64 and three yards. Phelan finished the game 9-for-17 passing for 217 yards and one touchdown, while running the ball 10 times for 144 yards and three scores.

“He is an outstanding athlete,” Bennett said about the junior quarterback. “There is still some things that he needs to work on, but he works very hard.”

“I’m just honored to be a part of this team,” Phelan said. “Our defense stepped up tonight and played well. It’s like a storybook where it just keeps getting better with each chapter.”

Mike Burpoe added 44 yards rushing for Saranac Lake, while Lance Akerson scored on an 18-yard run and Kyle Dora combined 17 rushing yards with 21 receiving yards.

Darrah had 106 total yards receiving including the 84-yard scored, while Kevin Morgan caught four balls for 82 yards.

For the Lumberjacks, Tim Ropas, used mainly in the second half, ran the ball 10 times for 121 yards and both of the Tupper Lake scores. Morgan Stevens was 8-for-13 passing for 69 yards, but threw a pair of interceptions. The Saranac Lake defense limited Stevens and Jordan Garrow to 23 yards on a combined 28 carries.

“Ropas and Garrow do a great job, and they are two really good backs,” Klossner said. “We were happy with the pressure that we started to get on the quarterback, we were just a half-step shy.”

Hornets fall to Gouverneur The Plattsburgh Hornets held a 22-6 lead heading into halftime, but were unable to make it stick as Gouverneur scored 30 unanswered points in the second half for a 36-22

After a Gouverneur score, Nate Harrington scored on a 25-yard interception return.

Stiger finished the game with 110 yards rushing on 13 carries, while Brown was only able to add two more yards to his rushing total of 28. Love was three-for-six passing for 101 yards and a pair of interceptions, while Leopard had two receptions for 95 yards.

Patriots stun Ogdensburg The AuSable Valley Patriots scored 21 points in the first half and capped the game with a score in the fourth quarter as they shocked Ogdensburg, 28-12, Sept. 16.

The Patriots scored in the first five minutes of the game, as Austin House kept the ball from one yard out to give the Patriots a 7-0 lead.

House then connected with Jonathan LaDieu for a 44-yard score and Connor manning received an 11-yard scoring pass from House to give the Patriots a 21-point lead (Manning converted on all three point-after attempts).

House capped the scoring with 50 seconds remaining in the game with a five-yard scoring run, and Manning again hit the point after to round out the scoring.

House finished with 74 yards rushing and a pair of touchdowns on the ground and 180 yards on 9-for-14 passing and a pair of touchdowns through the air.

Dillon Savage added 50 yards rushing, while LaDieu had 101 yards receiving and Manning added 63.

Indians blank Vikings The Peru Indians celebrated the 10th anniversary of their New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class B state championship Sept. 17, then shutout the Moriah Vikings, who have played in two of the past three Class D title games.

The Indians scored all 34 of their points in the middle two quarters, and their defense kept the Vikings at bay, extending the teams scoring drought to 12 of the first 12 quarters Moriah has played in 2011.

Tyler Murphy opened the scoring with a 53-yard punt return in the middle of the second quarter, which was followed 58 seconds later with a Shawn Hendrix four-yard interception return and Jeff Kruz added a 16-yard rushing touchdown with 29 seconds remaining in the half.

Mike Holdridge scored on a 46-yard pass from Taylor Rock in the opening minutes of the third quarter, and Alex Cederstrom scored on a 39-yard rush to cap the scoring for the Indians.

Frechette finished the game for the Eagles with 182 yards and three tallies on the ground to go with 84 yards and a touchdown on 4-for-11 passing.

Weightman combined 76 yards rushing and 78 yards and a touchdown on 10-for-26 passing for the Chiefs, while McCasland added 58 yards and a score.

Beekmantown runs past Chiefs The Beekmantown Eagles scored all of the points in the second half, tallying 21 points in the final two quarters for a 35-14 win against the Saranac Chiefs Sept. 17.

keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — Getting an early goal is always good for momentum, as was the case in a several boys varsity soccer games on Sept. 14.

In Willsboro, Jeff Bigelow scored on an assist from Nick Arnold in the seventh minute as the Willsboro Warriors scored a 2-0 win against Northern Adirondack.

“In our three victories this season, we have scored in the first five-to-10 minutes, or even earlier,” Warriors head coach Andrew Lee said. “We did what we needed to do for the win.”

The Warriors kept the one goal advantage until the 68th minute, when Clay Sherman took a pass from Arnold, beat three NAC defenders and fired a shot from distance that went past Bobcats goalie Ethan Mousseau to the low, near post side.

“That helped give us a breather,” Lee said.

“We played well in the middle of the field and defensively,” Northern Adirondack head coach Peter Kowalowski. “We had a couple of outside chances, and I am not displeased at all with our effort. Willsboro is a good team.”

Lee said that the Bobcats did a good job in limiting the chances the Warriors had to score.

“It wasn’t one of our better possession games,” Lee said. “NAC did a good job disrupting our passes and stayed with their men and didn’t ball chase. I felt, though, that we still controlled play even though they limited us in quality opportunities.”

Willsboro held a 19-11 advantage in shots, with Mousseau making 11 saves for the Bobcats and Cody Sayward making nine saves for the Warriors.

Chazy scores early, defeats Lions

Brandon Laurin scored in the second minute of the game on a Jordan Barriere assist, and Hunter Dominy added another quick goal off a Nathan Reynolds assist in the sixth minute as the Chazy Eagles scored a 3-0 win over the Elizabethtown-Lewis Lions Sept. 14.

Keene scores early to beat Westport; ELCS can’t answer Chazy WESTPORT — Four goals in the first half gave the Keene girls varsity soccer team all the room they would need as they scored a 4-1 victory over Westport Sept. 15.

“They got excited for the game and they came here ready to play,” Beavers head coach Fred Hooper said. “They were having fun on the field and looking for each other.”

Meghan Hall, who had a chance to open the scoring 30 seconds into the game, connected in the fourth minute off a Sadie Holbrook assist. Holbrook scored the next two goals of the game, in the 18th and 28th minutes, the second off a Hall assist.

Hall also assisted Chrissy Fabiano on the fourth goal for the Beavers in the 40th minute.

“Their core stepped up in the first half,” Westport head coach Brad Rascoe said.

“They had the better of the play in the first half, but I thought that we played better in the second half.”

The Eagles actually outshot the Beavers, 19-13, trying to find the top half of the goal against Beavers keeper Tucker Geiger, who made 10 saves and deflected several balls away from the net.

“Their goalie made some great saves,’ Rascoe said.

“Our defense and Tucker played extremely well tonight,” Hooper added.

Westport’s tally came in the 61st minute, as Mallory Suddoth notched her first varsity goal on an assist from Alexa Mitchell. Karlee McGee made seven saves.

Lions fall to Chazy

The Chazy Eagles varsity girls soccer team scored on what was meant to be a cross in the 25th minute of its Sept. 13 game against the Elizabethtown-Lewis Lady Lions, giving them all the edge they would need in a 2-0 victory.

“I was trying to cross the ball,” Caitlyn LaPier said after the game. “It went off my foot kinda funny and curled into the goal.”

“Our focus was to score in the first 10 minutes and set the tempo in the game,” Chazy head coach Karin Trombley said. “We outshot them and had more opportunities, but their defense did a great job as a unit.”

The Eagles did not score again until the 80th minute, more specifically, eight seconds remaining in the game, when Hannah Laurin scored on an assist from Kinan Latremore on a two-on-one breakaway after a quick throw-in.

Amber Polomsky assisted on the LaPier goal.

Jennifer McGinn made 17 saves for the Lions, who had a couple chances to score, but

Cedar, the Gladiator

S

Autumn on the Rise C

ooler weather has already jump-started the fall foliage season, prior to the arrival of the autumn equinox, which occurs on Sept. 23. As daylight hours continue to diminish with each passing day, we can expect the usual cool, crisp air and heavy valley fog of early fall mornings.

Although recent flooding has adversely affected the prime fall tourist season, the NYSDEC has been working in cooperation with trail crews from the ADK, to get the trails reopened.

In this regard, common sense trumped the policies that banned the use of motorized equipment in wilderness areas. Fortunately, the restrictions have been temporarily loosened.

In order to restore some semblance of order to the backwoods, and open the trails, Forest Rangers and trail crews will now be allowed to utilize chainsaws, rather than being limited to the use of handsaws or axes, in their efforts.

The DEC still urges travelers to be aware that even though some trails were not officially closed, they may still have bridges missing or wash outs. River crossings may continue to be hazardous for some time. Routes may also have areas of blowdown, eroded sections or flooded areas. Close attention is required, as many trails have been rerouted to bypass damaged sections and eroded drainages can be mistaken for trails.

Details regarding current trail conditions and closures may be found on the High Peaks Trail Information web page: www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/9198.html.

Celebration of the sporting seasons

The Sportsmen’s High Holy Days have arrived, and the traditional changing of the forest guard has already begun.

Over the course of the next few weeks, sportsmen will begin taking to the woods again, for their high season.

Outdoor fashion will shift from GoreTex and lycra to green woolies and a buffalo plaid jacket. Beat up, old pickup trucks will start cropping up along the backroads again, and “Didja get yours yet?” will serve as a formal greeting, whether at the post office, the doctors office, or at church.

Many local hunting camps have already been humming with activity, as work parties struggle to tidy up matters in response to the recent storm damage. Trails will be cleared, road ruts repaired, and leaky roofs patched and plugged, as mattresses are aired out and mouse traps reset prior to the Regular Big Game Season which begins Oct. 22.

The annual hunting season was jumpstarted last week, as Early Bear Season began on Sept. 17. Bird hunters began working the fields and forests seeking ruffed grouse when their new season on Sept. 20.

This season, the DEC is asking archery hunters to maintain a Bowhunter Sighting Log by keeping a diary of their bowhunting activity and the number of animals observed.

The data will be utilized to help DEC track deer and other wildlife populations.

Bowhunters, much as turkey hunters, spend a majority of their time in a stand, or a blind while hunting during the early morning or late afternoon hours. Experienced hunters know that it is easier to detect movement, from a stationary position. As a result, they are more likely to observe wildlife, than hunters who utilize more traditional methods such as deer drives, or still hunting.

If you are interested, please e-mail fwwildlf@gw.dec.state.ny.us and include "Bowhunter Sighting Log" in the subject line. Please provide your name, address, hunter ID (back tag number), a list of the counties where you hunt, and whether you have participated in New York's bowhunter log in any previous year.

Grouse hunters are again encouraged to participate in the Grouse Hunters Diary Cooperator Program, which assists the DEC in assessing and managing grouse hunting opportunities statewide. Call the local DEC office for further information and registration materials.

On Oct. 1, the fall season begins for both wild turkey and pheasant in the northern zone, as well as for woodcock. Woodcock hunters must again register with the Harvest Information Program in order to hunt this migratory species.

A Surge of Salmon

Angling opportunities will also pick up considerably in the coming weeks, particularly on the local lakes and ponds. Brook and brown trout have already begun pooling up on the streams, and similar activity is just a few

short weeks away on the ponds.

When I spoke with NYSDEC Region 5 Fisheries Biologist Rich Preall earlier this week, he was still in the process of assessing the damage to local waterways from the recent storms.

He explained, “The small streams, like Johns Brook in Keene Valley, and Gulf Brook in Keene really got hit hard.

They were scoured and it may be years before they’ll be able to support trout again.”

“The rivers has changed too, there are new pools and new riffles. After completing numerous flyover inspections, the Army Corps of Engineers reported numerous debris dams along the Ausable, that will need to be removed.”

However, Preall also had some positive news, as well.

“The fish ladder at Willsboro is already open, and we expect a big run of salmon on the Boquet River this year!

We’ve already passed fifteen fish upriver, and there are a lot of fish below the falls.

There were outstanding reports from the lake this summer, with anglers taking salmon up to six pound and in good numbers. We’ve also had a lot of cooperation from the various agencies, which have allowed us to continue with our scheduled lamprey control efforts. Fortunately, they’ve waived restrictions on the stocking periods.”

DEC has scheduled lamprey control efforts for Thursday, Sept. 22, on the lower sections of the Boquet River.

ummer drawing to a close gives me a warm fuzzy feeling for a whole host of reasons.

The cool bugless evenings.

The changing colors. The impending hunting seasons.

The way it feels to go commando in a pair of woolies.

Last but not least, I love this time of year for the annual ritual of nasty, filthy, vile, godawful, disease riddled, toothy varmints taking up residence for the winter months in the eves of my home.

Like sand through the hourglass, these are the days of my life. At least in the fall. And I hate it.

I’ve set traps. I’ve covered openings with thick wire a trout worm couldn’t wiggle through. I’ve eaten a bunch of venison and washed it down with lots of cheap beer.

In hindsight, I’m not sure how that helped, but it sure kept the neighbors at arm’s length.

It didn’t seem to bother the varmints, though.

Nope, fact was I needed a better plan. So, while finishing off my last Milwaukee’s Best, it hit me: I’d arm my humble abode with the meanest varmint assassin I could find — the Chuck Norris of the cat world.

The type of feline that picks its teeth with piano wire, drinks from a broken mason jar and sharpens its claws with pool chalk.

The kind that can take a punch from George Foreman — or at least one of his handy fat-reducing grills.

The kind that can bury its own poo on a marble floor.

You get the idea.

There was one slight fault in my infallible plan, though.

When it came time to choose my attack cat, I let the girlfriend go in my sted. She came home from the shelter with not one, but two cats, because, as she put it, “I couldn’t break up sisters.”

(This is the part in the story where I stick my finger down my throat.)

“Aren’t they cute,” she said, opening her outstretched hand and unveiling two tiny orange balls of fluff with eyes the size of quarters.

“Nooooooooohhhhhhhhhh,” I screamed over my plate of venison, jumping to my feet and nearly knocking over my Pabst Blue Ribbon.

“I didn’t want cute,” I screamed, hands on my hips, staring down at the quarter-sized eyes attached to the pieces of orange fluff in the outstretched hand.

“Blink, blink” went the eyes.

“I wanted a killing machine,” I blurted through venison and beer spittle. “These are not mouse assassins.”

“These are not cats that could take a punch.”

“Blink, blink” went the eyes.

“These are not ... they are ... well, I guess they are kind of cute.”

Fast forward to last evening. I’m on the couch, feet up in my lounge loafers, eating venison and watching my Yankees duke it out with Seattle, a fat, lazy orange cat on either side, slumbering away.

“Plop” the first disease riddled varmint of the season showed its nasty, filthy, vile, godawful, toothy little face, landing smack in the middle of my hardwood floor.

“Brfff, rffff .... mrfff,” I said, choking on a piece of venison.

“Mouse,” I finally blurted out slapping at the cats with my free hand.

“Fire mission, fire mission,” I yelled, reverting for a second to my days as an Army gunner.

I stood back, not wanting to get tangled up in what was sure to be an epic battle, the likes of which had not been played out since Russell Crowe fought those tigers in the movie “Gladiator.”

But the cats never moved.

“Blink, blink” went their eyes.

“Whyyyyyyyyyyy,” I wailed, arms stretched toward the ceiling, like Nancy Kerrigan after getting whacked in the shin at that practice session during the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

Then, just when I thought all was lost, a black head emerged from beneath a pink blanket.

Like a tiny super hero, my dachshund Cedar shot off the recliner, skidded across the floor and flipped the hapless rodent in the air, snatching it in her surprisingly powerful weiner dog jaws.

Turning to the cats, shoestring-like tail hanging from her mouth, Don’t let the cute, innocent look fool Cedar sat and waited for you — this dog is a Gladiator! the sign from the Collosseum crowd. Much to the shagrin of the mouse, two furry legs shot out and slowly turned paws down.

But Cedar, the Gladiator, just turned and sauntered away with her prey, not giving the spectators the satisfaction.

“That’s my dog,” I thought to myself, resuming my seat at the throne and taking a long swig of my Genny Cream Ale. John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications. His column appears regularly.
