Supers express post-flood concerns

Tour slated for housing project

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors discussed several issues pertaining to problems related to post-Tropical Storm Irene cleanup and recovery during a visit from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Community Relations Manager Don Hawkins during the Sept. 26 Ways and Means Committee meeting.

While several issues did not pertain directly to FEMA, several supervisors wanted it known what their towns were now facing.

Board Chair and Jay Supervisor Randall “Randy” Douglas said that his main concern is the state of the Ausable River and the potential for flooding in the future due to erosion from the

Gerry Paris of May Day Training prepares firefighters to enter the firefighter survivor portion of the all day training session. Clinton and Essex counties teamed up to sponsor a bi-county fire service training session at the Keeseville Fire Station on Saturday, Sept.

24. Fire Instructors Mark LaFountain of Clinton County and Pat Trombley of Essex County assisted Paris in doing the training, consisting of a half day of classroom session, followed by a half day of hands-on survivor skills. Firefighters participated from Beekmantown, Dannemora, Keene Valley, Keeseville, Lewis, Mineville, Moriah, Morrisonville, Ticonderoga and Westport Fire Departments. Among the survivor skills practiced were breaching a wall, clearing an entanglement, and falling through a floor. The firefighters found the course to be quite challenging. Providing this training is a good example of consolidating resources. A luncheon was provided by the Keeseville Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary.

E-town allows supervisor to enter into emergency contracts involved with cleanup Board tables noise ordinance

By Jon Hochschartner jonh@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown Town Board passed a motion at its Sept. 20 meeting to allow the supervisor to enter into emergency contracts to clean up from Tropical Storm Irene.

Supervisor Noel Merrihew said Elizabethtown needs to make four flood-related projects a priority.

These include two jobs at the foot bridge, one being the reinforcement of the foot bridge abutments, and the other being the dredging of the stream bed and the reinforcement of the stream bank. The other two projects include the reinforcement of the stream banks of Roaring Brook and the intersection of the Branch and Barton Brook.

There is still time for Elizabethtown to qualify for funds for these projects

from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

“We still are under a state of emergency,” Merrihew said. “FEMA funding is a 75 percent federal match.”

The remaining 25 percent is paid for by the town and the state, under a 12.5 percent split.

“Right now there’s verbal communication (indicating) the state will try to meet their obligations, but there’s absolutely no guarantee that will happen,” Merrihew said. “So there is the possibility, under these FEMA contracts, the town will incur responsibility of up to 25 percent of what that total contract is.”

In an interview the next day, Merrihew said he did not yet know how much the projects would cost.

In other regular business: At the meeting, the board tabled a motion to adopt a noise ordinance, saying it would be difficult to enforce. The law had been requested in a petition forwarded to Merrihew.

“You’d need your audible, decibel

meter and things like that,” the supervisor said.

The petition requested the prohibition of noise made by entertainment devices heard by others 50 feet away or more.

“The petition was authored by citizens in the immediate Lincoln Pond area,” Merrihew said, adding it was prompted by an ongoing issue with a homeowner there.

Local and state police have been called to the area for various complaints, including bothersome noise at all hours and unattended fires.

Merrihew said the signers of the petition should work within the existing process.

“It will always come back to are you willing to sign that complaint,” the supervisor said. “Because as soon as he sees my police car coming, the noise is not there. So somebody has to represent there. I can understand how hard that is for people. Because then it does become personal.”

his morning a small flock of male bluebirds was in our back yard, splashing in the driveway puddles and feeding on insects in the lawn. Bluebirds conceal themselves in low trees and swoop down on unsuspecting bugs, and then retreat back to their hiding places.

The males are already looking for nesting spots for next year, and big lawns, however wasteful of resources and imitative of European excess, are their preferred spots.

This Saturday night the film “Win Win” will be shown at 8 p.m. at the Whallonsburg Grange. This is another great movie presented by the film society.

Another reminder that Brenda Buchanan, an expert on the history of gunpowder, will give a talk on Oct. 6 at the grange at 7:30 p.m. that traces gunpowder from ancient China to the Champlain Valley. Ms. Buchanan is the mother of Whallonsburg’s own Andy Buchanan, himself a historian of some renown.

I stopped in at the Belden Noble Library to meet the new director, Tom Mangano.

Mangano is pronounced man-gonno, al-

though in Italy it’s a more lyrical man-gano. Tom is not fussy about this. He and his wife bought a house on Couchey Hill a few years ago, and are gradually escaping from the Albany area. Tom worked as a technical editor for General Electric and earned a degree in library science in his part time.

He’s eager to get started on the automation project, which will get the collection listed in the system computer, and all books will be equipped with bar codes for easy check out and sharing with other libraries. Tom has copies of the books Colin Wells is discussing in his Tuesday lecture series and is planning to integrate the library with other community activities. The library is now on its winter hours, which are Tuesdays from 1 to 4 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays from noon to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tom will be there Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with volunteers handling Tuesdays. The library has a new website, essexlibrary.org, and if you are interested in getting on the email distribution list, let Tom know by writing to vnoblelib1899@willex.com.

here were rumors of another push to come up with a plan for a municipal building after the proposed plan was voted down for the second time in July, but any effort seems to have been put on hold for the moment. I probably shouldn't be more specific than to say that a few people were talking about forming another committee to work on the idea. Hopefully, at some point we'll be able to move forward as a community with the project, possibly after the upcoming elections.

Because the need hasn't gone away, nor is it going to. We still need a new firehouse, a new town shed, and a new school bus facility. And the town office building still needs repair—especially if the town offices are going to stay there. One way or another, this is going to get done. The only question is whether we do it in an organized way, or whether we let it go for so long that we're forced into a more expensive series of emergency measures.

Our thoughts are still with the families

whose homes and property were damaged during Irene. Most of the roads that were washed out have been repaired and reopened. Stevenson Road remains closed at the Dudley barns, so take the main road and Napper Road to get around. Mountain Spring is still closed a couple of miles past the Fish and Game Road turnoff, but the town should have it open again soon for hunters and campers to enjoy that beautiful area again. And the E'townWadhams Road is still closed at the bridge near the overpass—use Brainard's Forge Road. Other than that, we're back in action, owing to the hard work of our town crew.

My lecture at the Whallonsburg Grange next Tuesday, Oct. 4, will be on the history behind Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. What I love about this short novel is the way it hints at some of the dark cracks and crevices under the smooth veneer of Victorian rectitude.

Plus, it's got a horrible monster wreaking all sorts of havoc. That's at 7:30 p.m.

his week the NCSPCA would like to remind you about the upcoming Gimme Shelter benefit, only a week away, to be held on Friday, Oct. 7, at the Westport Country Club. As we have announced previously, the benefit will be held at noon, with registration beginning at 11 a.m. This golf extravaganza includes a buffet and prizes following completion of play. The format will be 18-hole scramble.

The entry fee of $260 per team ($65/player) will help us achieve our dream of a modern shelter better equipped to meet the needs of our furry friends, as we will be matching contributions dollar-for-dollar toward support of the new shelter. To download a printable application, please visit our website at www.ncspca.org.

Our featured pet this week is Benny, is a Beagle, Blue Tick Coonhound with beautiful markings. Benny is very sociable and has both won over the hearts of shelter staff, and also made friends with most of the other dogs at the shelter. Benny is an

all-around-great pooch; he's extremely smart, has terrific manners, and loves to play and have fun. His enthusiasm for life is infectious; when you meet him, you won't be able to stop smiling! Won't you please stop by for a visit? We are betting you won't be sorry - and you may just meet your new best friend.

A

nyone who knows me knows that I am a great lover of animals, both domesticated and wild and will promote anything related to the well being of our cohabitants on this planet. So I am very happy to report that the North Country SPCA is having a benefit golf tournament in Westport hosted by the Westport Country Club this Friday October 7th. It will be in eighteen hole scramble format with a shotgun start at noon and a buffet and prizes following the completion.

For more information call 962-4470 or check online at www.ncspca.org.

I made my usual walk around town this past weekend and found many residents working on all sorts of home improvement projects many of which were already adding to the beauty of our community. It is also fun to watch all the caterpillars slowly moving about to make the winter nests as well as chipmunks and squirrels getting as much seed for storage before the winter sets in. I find it sad how many of the birds that fed at my feeder never returned following Irene. Prior to Irene I

would have to fill the feeder every other day, but now I haven’t needed to add any seed yet since Irene.

October marks the return of the village picking up leaves and small branches left by the side of the road. Check with the village on what criteria is necessary to ensure pick-up and how to make it easier for them.

The Deputy Mayor wanted to acknowledge that the work on Jaycee Park is going well with many helpful hands committed to the project. He promised to get back to me in the near future with information about an organized work day at the park.

Don’t forget the Keeseville Free Library always has a couple of boxes of books which are available for cheap reads. The season is also winding down for Goff Flowers on Division Street but her garden is still going strong based on the wonderful bouquet I was able to purchase at Mac’s grocery this weekend. Let’s enjoy all the beauty we can before the blanket of white snow settles over us for a couple of months.

t is hard to believe that September has come to a close and the signs of Fall are creeping in fast. This past week many family and friends gathered together to celebrate Ethel Doyle’s 96th birthday, she was roasted and toasted and many shared what a great lady she stands for in their lives. The family of Kyle Russell is enjoying him home on a short leave from his military duties. We send our sympathy to the family of Betty Whitford who had recently moved into the Willsboro Senior Housing unit, she passed away very suddenly this past week. The residents were just getting to know her and thus found it hard to loose her so soon.

Some upcoming events to be aware of include the next public supper at the Willsboro United Methodist Church will be on Wednesday, Oct. 5, serving Meat Loaf along with all the usual fair. The same church will be starting the students after School Christian Education program on Oct. 13. This is for any interested children in grades Kindergarten through High

School. The group meet right after school until 5 p.m. and they do appreciate pre registrations. Contact Barbara Feeley at 963-7185 for more information. Another very worthwhile program that is soon starting is for Boy Scouts from grades 1 through 5. The registration will be held at the Willsboro School cafeteria on 6:30 p.m.

I have recently been made aware that many in our community experience some eye sight loss and it does make us need to learn how to compensate for that loss.

There is a very helpful program offered here in Essex County and they would send a representative here to share helpful ideas. I have been in contact with this person and we will be working to set a time for a program for any interested persons. I am still recovering from my knee replacement surgery and this has held getting this program set, hopefully soon.

hilly nights have arrived and the first frost appeared in the valley on Sept. 17, shriveling leaves and flowers. Gardens higher up on the hillsides were saved from frost, but not for long. Its time to pick your winter squash and bring in the last tomatoes before the frost ruins them. Some maples have already turned red and a flock of ducks flying south took a rest on the waters of Deep Hollow pond.

The first day of autumn was Friday, Sept.

23, and the smell of wood smoke is already in the air.

Local sportsmen had a chance for a health check up before hitting the woods.

The annual Hunters’ Health Screening took place at Elizabethtown Hospital last week.

Jane Hooper, Hospital spokesperson, wanted to make sure hunters of all ages, were healthy before the start of hunting season.

Hauling heavy gear or dragging a big trophy buck out of the woods is strenuous work.

If you missed the chance for a checkup, there’s still an opportunity. You can have your blood pressure taken at the Red Cross

Blood drive on Thursday, Oct. 13, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the school.

Our local Cobble Hill Red Hat ladies were invited last week to join Red Hatters from Westport, Essex and Willsboro for lunch at the newly remodeled Essex Inn. The meal was delicious and the remodeled Inn is definitely worth a visit.

Our neighbors in Lewis are holding a big auction on Saturday, Oct. 1 to raise money for the Bicentennial of the Lewis Congregational Church. If you like antiques and collectibles, check it out.

The Annual Country Fair will be held at the Church of the Good Shepherd on Friday, Oct. 7, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Baked goods, handcrafted items, local fruits and honey will be for sale. Have some coffee, cider and fresh donuts while you’re there.

This is a great place to start your holiday shopping.

Autumn road clean up will be happening in the coming weeks. Give a wave to the Kiwanians who will be picking up trash along the road to Westport, or the New Russian volunteers cleaning Route 9 in the South Valley.

Ward Lumber helps out employees affected

by Tropical Storm Irene flooding damage

By Keith Lobdell

GUARANTEED LOWEST INSTALLED PRICE OR YOUR At Time Of Sale TIRE IS

keith@denpubs.com JAY — The tapes that relive the moments when Dustin Frederick captured back-to-back state wrestling championships for the AuSable Valley Patriots were ruined when floodwaters intruded into his family’s home during Tropical Storm Irene.

“Those are nothing compared to the house being declared a total loss,” Frederick said.

On Sept. 23, he and Travis Thwaits stood with their employer, Jay Ward, on the steps of Ward Lumber in Jay as the boss gave both some welcomed relief.

Through the Lumber Industry for Today (LIFT), Frederick and his family, along with Thwaits, received grants to help them rebuild.

“We have lived there 15 years, and we had never had a problem with flooding until this spring,” said Dustin’s father, Wayne, about the house he owns on Burt Lane in Au Sable Forks.

“We had just renovated the house from the April flooding when this happened,” Dustin said.

The Fredericks received $2,000 in funding through the program that is run with the help of lumber companies throughout the Northeast. Thwaits, who was serving as a member of the Jay Volunteer Fire Department and formerly served with the National Guard in Iraq, received $500 as a renter.

“I was hurting for them and looking for

“I had to break the news to my roommates about what happened,” Thwaits said. “Jay came to us with this and pretty much took care of everything. FEMA couldn’t really help out that much because I was renting, so this is very welcome.”

Thwaits lived in a house that he was renting with friends on Sheldrake Road in Jay when the storm hit, and said that he was unable to make it home to check on the house.

“They had all the roads closed that night, so I decided to stay at the firehouse and check it out in the morning,” Thwaits said. “When I first got there, you could smell the fuel oil, and then I went in and saw what the water had done to the house.”

Dustin Frederick said that the leaking from kerosene tanks at his house and the sediment from the river made this flooding worse than the flooding in April.

“The kerosene and all of the mud was tougher to deal with than just water and ice,” he said.

The Fredericks have already started to work on their house for the second time in four months, saying that they plan to stay there despite the recent events.

They also said they were thankful for the grant.

“I really appreciate the help,” Wayne Frederick said. “I have worked with a lot of companies and never had one do something like this of an employee.”

“Jay told us that he had found this opportunity to help and he was going to get it for us,” Dustin Frederick said. “Jay basically did all of the paperwork.”

Ward said that his company was contributing a quarter of the funds to the two employees, with the rest coming from the

New bus schedule needs tweaking

A

s the Cascade Express — a publicly subsidized commuter bus between Saranac Lake and Elizabethtown — gets ready to hit the road for the first time on Oct. 3, we have a serious problem with the shuttle’s schedule, which overwhelmingly favors public servants rather than the public.

The launch of a new bus route in Essex County makes us take a harder look at public transportation. After all, during this time of economic distress, adding government services is certainly not the norm. And as Gov. Cuomo’s 2 percent tax cap looms over the 2012 budget process, many cuts will be on the way.

Several counties throughout the region now have public transportation networks.

They help seniors make trips to shopping centers, government offices and doctors’ appointments. They help commuters get to work in distant villages. They give physically challenged riders more independence.

We understand that demand for bus routes varies, and we hope government officials are paying close attention to the numbers to make sure taxpayer money is not being wasted. Shuttles with strong ridership should stay in operation, while those with low ridership should be phased out.

Now Essex County Transportation will have six bus routes. We have no problem with creating new public bus routes, as long as there is sufficient demand from the general public and there is a way to pay for it.

The Cascade Express certainly has funding. Essex County was successful in getting a federal Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) program grant to help pay for it.

And there is definitely demand, according to Essex County Transportation Coordinator Nancy Dougal. She’s said there were numerous requests for a bus route between Lake Placid and Elizabethtown from county workers and people who use county services.

Helping county workers with a taxpayer-funded bus is fine, as long as the schedule is designed to accommodate those in the private sector as well. Sadly, this is where the Cascade Express falls short.

While she was drafting the schedule, Dougal said she was trying to accommodate people who work a 7-to-3 shift in Lake Placid and Ray Brook and an 8-to-4 shift in Elizabethtown. Her hope, she said, was to give Elizabethtown residents an opportunity to commute to state jobs in Ray Brook and Tri-Lakes residents a chance to commute to county jobs in Elizabethtown.

The Cascade Express schedule does just that. Unfortunately, it excludes anyone in the private sector who works a full-time job in those locations.

While the state government defines a fulltime shift as 8.0 hours (7.5 hours plus a 30minute lunch break), the private sector defines a full-time shift as 8.5 hours (8.0 hours plus a 30-minute lunch break).

Therefore, someone traveling from Lake Placid to Elizabethtown on the Cascade Express can get off the bus at Stewart’s at 7:45 a.m. but has to be back on the bus at Stewart’s by 4:10 p.m. in order to get home.

Workers in private industry starting at 8 a.m. have to be on the clock until 4:30 p.m. to complete their 8-hour day. They can’t use the Cascade Express with its current schedule.

This bus schedule should be modified to fit shifts for workers in the private sector.

Otherwise, the Cascade Express is simply a taxpayer-funded shuttle bus for government workers.

The JARC program — which provided funding for this bus — was established “to improve access to transportation services to employment and employment related activities for welfare recipients and eligible lowincome individuals.” It was not established to get county and state workers to their offices.

Concerned about hydro-fracking To the Editor: Thank you for the wonderful cartoon about hydrofracking in the Sept. 17, issue of The Valley News. The more we see the word “fracking” the better, and the more we learn about the hydrofracking process, better yet.

Daily we are now exposed to the self-serving ads being run by the gas companies, telling us how safe this process is. Don’t believe it. Instead, see the documentary “Gasland,” which shows many of the dreadful consequences of gas extraction. Or read the series about fracking which ran in The New York Times. (visit www.nytreprints.com).

The ads tell us how deep the gas is, way away from our water. They don’t tell us that the millions of gallons of wastewater which resurface after fracking contain known carcinogens and chemicals we are not even privy to know, plus radioactive elements such as radium and uranium from deep in the earth. Most of this wastewater is sent to sewage treatment plants not designed to remove radioactive materials and neutralize dangerous carcinogens. It is then discharged into our rivers and streams. The risk of dangerous pollution of the public water supply, on a monumental scale, frightens me. There are not strict rules in place. We cannot trust the gas industry to tell us the truth, and if the EPA is emasculated, as is probable, our watchdogs will be fewer.

Information on fracking, especially now that the report issued by New York’s environmental agency has been issued, is important to all of us. You can contact Common Cause NY (CauseNet@commoncause.org), Water Rangers (rangers@cleanwaternotdirtydrilling.org) or the League of Women Voters for more information.

The gas companies have not had their way yet, but Gov. Cuomo and the Legislature will be acting soon. It will be a shame if we allow our politicians to risk the health of so many of our citizens for short-term financial gains.

Call or write the governor and our legislators, Betty Little and Teresa Sayward, if you feel as I do that fracking, as it is practiced now, is way too dangerous for New York to allow.

Block party helps neighbors in Keene To the Valley News: The Market Street Block Party in Keene Valley drew hundreds of neighbors, visitors and friends last Friday night. We shared in a pig roast, brought great side dishes and desserts, and raised a little money.

Actually, we raised a bunch of money. The final tally was $11,733 with an additional $11,733 matching gift from the Weckel family. Over $23,466 was given to the Keene Flood Recovery Program. On top of all that, it was just good to let down and party.

The idea started as a simple one, to turn

Fight same-sex marriage To the Editor:

our annual block party into a fundraising event for flood victims. No gift requests, no sponsors, because businesses everywhere are struggling too. Just a group of neighbors coming together to provide all the food for the party, so 100 percent of the donations received could go to the Keene Flood Recovery Fund. Our modest goal was to raise $2,000, but the incredible outpouring of generosity from far and wide helped us raised a lot more money than anticipated.

I would like to openly thank all the wonderful people and businesses who helped make this fundraiser a great success: Karl Weckel and his family for matching donations; Harmony Hills Farm for donating the pig; Doug at the Mirror Lake Inn for his smoker; Lake Placid Brewery for the keg; Baxter Mountain Tavern & Noon Mark Diner for sides and desserts; McDonough Hardware for the charcoal; Chef Kirk and Chef Katie Fiore for cooking the pig; Market Street residents for being the best neighbors; and finally, thank you to the many generous donors who attended the event.

Now that the cleanup is well under way, we can all continue to help our friends and neighbors get back on their feet by letting everyone know not to cancel their fall visits.

There are still many wonderful things to do and see in our region this fall. Communities all over have pulled out all the stops to repair the roads and infrastructures that were affected. If you have plans to come visit, please keep them; we would love to see you and our businesses need you now more than ever.

Many thanks to people near and far and we look forward to your visit!

Political parties working together To the Editor: The recent donation of a Boeing 727 from FedEx to the Plattsburgh Aeronautical Institute brought together a number of elected officials from our community, including Sen. Betty Little, Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, Clinton County Legislator Keith Defayette and Plattsburgh Town Supervisor Bernie Bassett.

We were among those who had the opportunity to speak at the donation ceremony last month. In the course of our remarks, we mentioned that elected officials and many members of the community put partisan politics aside and worked together on this project for the benefit of the region.

We pointed out that real bipartisanship was demonstrated here, and Assemblywoman Duprey proposed that we should export this spirit of cooperation to Albany and Washington. These remarks are extraordinarily important. As one looks around, not only at Albany and Washington, we have seen the process of rational decision making impeded by ideology and partisanship. This has to stop.

One reason we believe we work together well in the North Country is that we have the advantage of knowing one another as individuals. This does not mean we will always agree, but we certainly have the willingness to work together to solve the problems that face our community.

As elected officials, it is critical that we understand there are issues that we may not fully comprehend as individuals, and thus it is necessary to reach out, to listen and to learn.

We decided to write this joint letter because we both feel strongly that civil discourse must win out over partisanship if we are to move forward as a community, a state and as a nation.

We believe that this spirit of bipartisan-

A number of folks in the community shared their support of the editorial I recently wrote concerning the traditional definition of marriage being desecrated by our New York legislature and governor as they ramrodded through same-sex marriage without the consent of the thinking public (and it appears one of the motivating factors was to help our failing economy by bringing in added revenue!).

As I write to you, the National Organization for Marriage has completed four amazing rallies in New York, as nearly 10,000 took to the streets to claim their right to vote on the marriage issue! In NYC alone, approximately 6,000 demonstrators showed up in what the Wall Street Journal called “impressive” and “the biggest demonstration we can remember seeing in the neighborhood.” It’s obvious from demonstrations like this that voters still believe in marriage!

There’s a reason why American voters have rejected same-sex marriage at the ballot box 31 times in a row – even in blue states like California, Oregon and Maine!

The 31st was North Carolina, who just this past week voted to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot in 2012 to put the future of marriage in the hands of the people (not just the lawmakers). Both the House and the Senate approved the measure with the constitutionally required 3/5ths majority, referring the marriage amendment to the voters of the state.

Don’t believe all the slanted polls touting Americans as supportive of same-sex marriage. In both NOM polls and ABC News polls in New York and Minnesota, when pollsters were asked whether they supported a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman, anywhere from 57 - 65 percent supported traditional marriage!

For this reason, NOM has launched a “Let the People Vote” campaign in New York. This plan would culminate in a state-wide vote to repeal same-sex marriage in the next two to three years. It is a process and will take time – but it is achievable! NOM has helped voters in both California and Maine overturn same-sex marriage laws forced on their states by politicians and judges, and are well on the way to repealing the same in New Hampshire and Iowa.

Several of you called or caught me somewhere and asked how we can overturn this travesty.

County Continued from page 1 last three flooding events.

“There is definitely some research that needs to be done on the Ausable and the streams that flow into it,” Douglas said. “I understand that environmental groups are concerned about having machinery in the rivers, but I have to do what is best for the public safety of the people in my town and in my county.”

Douglas said that, due to the changed shape of the Ausable from the recent storms, he fears that it will be easier for a flood event to happen in Jay in the spring when the winter thaw happens.

“I was told by an anonymous source that it would take about 10 years to do a study on the river and then to start the work,” Douglas said. “These people do not even have 10 months before the next chance for flooding, and it is not going to take much next spring. The river ’s course and flow has changed because of what has happened this year.”

Essex County Emergency Services Director Donald Jaquish said that he did have a preliminary study from the Army Corps of Engineers concerning the river. Jaquish also said that the EPA was currently working on hazardous waste removal in the local rivers and streams.

“They are taking things that are a hazard, like dead animals and propane and fuel tanks that were washed into the river,” Jaquish said.

Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said that he felt the crews needed to be able to continue to work in the rivers with their machinery, despite claims otherwise.

“You can’t get the big debris out of these rivers and streams without machines,” Scozzafava said. “If you do not do something to these rivers and streams, things will be right back to where we are now, and that will only take a matter of time.”

Douglas said that federal help is needed to bring in experienced people to deal with the situation.

“We have road workers on our highway crews, we don’t have engineers,” Douglas said.

Douglas also said that he was concerned

www.thevalleynews.org that there needed to be more done to help those who were affected by the storm, including second home owners.

“They can’t afford to fix these places up when they have $1 million in damages and only qualify for $100,000 in SBA loans,” Douglas said. “They are coming in, throwing their keys on my desk and telling me that they are not dealing with the property anymore and are never coming back.”

Hawkins said that for those who feel they did not get an appropriate answer on their request for aid, those people need to appeal the decision.

“Don’t always go with the first response,” Hawkins said. “You can always appeal.”

Douglas also said that he would support residents in Jay, where 150-plus homes were affected by the flooding, who chose to receive a buyout on their homes and relocate.

“I will support them, but you are losing the identity, the tax base and some longtime family members of the community,” Douglas said.

Keene Supervisor William “Bill” Ferebee said that he wanted officials in charge of relief efforts to do what Gov. Andrew Cuomo and others have done.

“They need to come and let us show the officials these spots and then they will see what we are facing,” Ferebee said.

As part of the meeting, the board of supervisors passed several resolutions in relation to the recovery, including a resolution that the state legislature approves a bill to lower assessments for those affected by the flooding; urging Gov. Cuomo and the U.S. Congress to immediately do inspections on the rivers and brooks within the county; urging the Governor to approve and expedite the process of Community Development Block Grants for five towns in the county; and urging the Governor to relieve counties of the 12.5-percent local share relative to FEMA Disaster Assistance funding.

All of the supervisors commended FEMA for the work that they have done in the communities affected.

“They have been the most professional and very easy to work with,” Douglas said.

Essex County tabs potential Public Health administrator

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Ways and Means Committee of the Essex County Board of Supervisors has tabbed Linda Beers as the new director of the Public Health Department.

The committee voted unanimously to move the recommendation to the full board meeting Oct. 3.

Lewis Supervisor David Blades, who heads the committee that oversees public health, said they received approval from the state for the move after their regular monthly meeting, but wanted to bring the matter to rest by appointing Beers.

“The approval came after human services already had their meeting,” Blades said.

“I have talked with the committee and most are in favor of the move.”

Board Chairman Randall “Randy” Douglas said a lot of work has gone into finding someone to put into the role of Public Health Director.

“They have done a wonderful job and selected a wonderful candidate,” Douglas said.

The position pays $74,000 annually.

Smoking ban clears committee The committee also forwarded the new county smoking policy to a vote by the full board, which would be placed into effect Nov. 17 if passed.

Keene Supervisor William “Bill” Ferebee asked if, once the policy was in place, there would be a specific way it would be enforced.

“How are these areas going to be policed and who is going to be over that,” Ferebee asked.

“The department heads are paid to do a job, that includes enforcing the rules,”

Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston said.

“It becomes the department heads responsibility to police and do discipline if they see someone not following the rules,” agreed county manager Daniel Palmer.

Pricing for study questioned Moriah Supervisor Thomas “Tom” Scozzafava questioned a resolution authorizing the expenditure of up to $7,500 for an engineering study to be done by AES for the replacement of a transformer that supplies power to the Horace Nye Nursing Home.

“I can tell you that this is not a fair price,” Scozzafava said. “This is a lot of money just to go over and size a project up.”

Minerva Supervisor Sue MontgomeryCorey also asked where the money was going to come from to fund the study.

“This is going to be an issue of where in the Horace Nye budget we can fund this from,” County Manager Daniel Palmer said. “I could say that we just take it out of contingency, but then it puts no pressure on anyone to look at their budget and find a place within to fund this.”

“If we are going to authorize any spending, then we need to know where it is coming from,” Montgomery-Corey said.

Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell said he wanted more information on what the study would entail.

“This might be a lot more than just replacing a transformer,” Scozzafava said.

Palmer said the current transformer was put in place between 1968 and 1972 and is considered a major issue.

“It has gone out before and they were lucky to get it back on,” Palmer said. “This is a public safety and health issue.”

Clarke Continued from page 1 “I am as interested and as uninformed as everyone else who’s watching is,” Clarke said. “It has been fun to see people’s reaction to this and it has been a very busy fall for her.”

Clarke reacted each time someone started cheering, a sign that Sophie was on the television screen. He, along with everyone else, watched as she competed in the challenge, and was equally as shocked as the rest of the crowd when the first name that was produced from the ballot box for leaving the island was Sophie’s.

In the end, though, Sophie remained on the island for the second week of the show’s run.

Clarke said he is rotating his viewings between the Willsboro restaurant, with his wife who works in Washington, D.C., and Sophie, who is going to medical school at Mount Sinai.

“It’s an entertaining Wednesday for me,” Clarke said. “It’s fun to come and see it with my friends. I watched the first week with Sophie and some of her friends down in New York City, and she gave a little speech at the beginning and talked between the commer-

CATS offers writing contest WESTPORT — Champlain Area Trails (CATS) has launched its first travel writing contest. Winners will receive prizes ranging from $250 to $500, and have their entries published online in the CATS Destination Guide.

“A travel writing contest is a fun way to attract attention, invite new visitors, and encourage authors to write about this special place,” Chris Maron said. “We want to strengthen the area's economic vitality by attracting visitors to enjoy the outdoors, walk around our villages, visit local farms and businesses, and come back with their friends.”

The contest is a chance for people to share

Clarke again stated how much his daughter wanted to be a part of the “Survivor” phenomenon.

“Sophie was obsessed with this show for 10 years,” Thurston said. “She was determined to be on it. When she auditioned, she kept it very secret from all of us. We don’t know anything about what happened or where she placed because they all left and came back at the same time.”

Clarke said Sophie has not felt too hassled by the attention that has come from the show.

“It has been a busy fall for her,” Clarke said. “She talked to her roommates so they knew what was going on, and the interest has started to speculate through the school, but she said that there hasn’t been a big difference.”

Clarke said the biggest thing he and Sophie wanted to see out of the early episodes was how she was going to be portrayed on the show.

“She was very worried about that because they are filming you all of the time,” Clarke said. “So far, I think that she has been happy and I think that the show has been good.”

LPCS students make service announcements LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid High School’s “Digital World” technology class created underage drinking and drug use prevention announcements that are being aired on WPTZ and Time Warner Cable.

The Digital World class, made up of high school students, put together dialogue, music and graphics to deliver their messages about the dangers of underage drinking and drug use in a project funded by the Lake Placid/Wilmington Connecting Youth & Communities Coalition under the guidance of their teacher, Brian Brandes.

The public service announcements of Olivia Dempsey, Asia Sampson, Joey Izzo, David Knapik, Brandon Hozley, Kylee Paye, Brady Hayes, Casey DiNicola, Paul Sweet and Lane McFadden will be airing starting this week on the local Time Warner station.

The commercials created by Sampson,

Izzo and Sweet were chosen for airing on WPTZ Channel 5 from Sept. 7 to Sept. 11.

The spots were shown around local programming of the morning and evening news as well as the Oprah Winfrey show. The spots also aired during Saturday Night Live on Sept. 10.

“CYC has worked with many partners to create media campaigns which utilize the talents of Lake Placid students to get the student’s perspective on our prevention message out to the community,” Angel Marvin, CYC coordinator, said. “It is a part of a national strategy to change the local environment to one that is less accepting of underage drinking and drug use.”

More information about the Connecting Youth and Communities Coalition can be found on their website at www.connectingyouth.com.

LPCS to host evening study program

Oktoberfest celebrates 20 years

LAKE PLACID— It's been a year in the making and now a partnership between the Connecting Youth & Community Coalition (CYC) and Lake Placid Central School District will result in the implementation of an evening study program for students.

The program was driven by student responses to a 2010 CYC youth survey in which students indicated a desire to have more access to the Lake Placid Middle/High School after normal school hours.

CYC representatives Mary Dietrich and Angel Marvin presented the feedback to school district representatives in the fall of 2010. They proposed the idea for the program and offered to use grant funding to pay for the cost of program supervision. The school district agreed to partner with them and pledged in-kind donations of space, utilities, technology, and snacks.

Following a year of preparation and collaborative planning, the program began on Sept.

19 and will run Monday-Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Lake Placid Middle/High School Library.

John Burdick, a teacher at Lake Placid Middle/High School, is the program director. Alice Bickford and Marge Borland, teaching assistants at the Middle/High School, will be as-

WILMINGTON — The 20th annual Whiteface Oktoberfest, in Wilmington, is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1-2.

During the two-day festival, the Olympic mountain dusts off its lederhosen, fires up the oompah band and enjoys a tall mug of German beer. There is also fun for the family with activities including original vendors, arts and crafts, children’s amusement rides including the popular hayride and inflatables, Bavarian food, drink and entertainment.

Whiteface Oktoberfest offers great traditional German music from Die Schlauberger, performing under the entertainment tent outside the base lodge each day, the Lake Placid Bavarians, who have been performing traditional Bavarian music in the north country for the last 20 years,

sisting Burdick.

Students should enter through the front door of the Middle/High School Cafeteria entrance and proceed to the library.

The purpose of the program is to provide a comfortable, relaxed, and casual study environment to support students’ daily learning while providing them additional access to the library and its many resources.

LPCS murder mystery set LAKE PLACID — The Class of 2013 at the Lake Placid High School is putting on the 17th Annual Murder Mystery on Friday, Sept. 30, at 7 p.m.

The name of the Murder Mystery this year is "A Murder Worth a Killing." It will be held in the Lake Placid High School auditorium, and is open to the public.

The evening features a great play, time to "interview" the characters at different stations, and there will be desserts and a chance to win prizes for correctly identifying the murderer.

The interview locations will be within walking distance. The cost is $5 for students and $7 for adults. The proceeds will support the Lake Placid High School junior class.

and Ed Schenk on the accordion. The Cloudspin Lounge will also feature music from Schachtelgebirger Musikanten (Scha-Musi) and performing at their third Oktoberfest will be Spitze and The Alpen Trio.

Older members of the Kindergruppe also dance in the adult group.

Guests can also drive the Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway.

Oktoberfest will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Volunteers unload firewood during the Sept. 24 Firewood Drive.

Locals take to woods to help those in need of winter heat

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com

38403

JAY — Eric Klotzko grabs his chain saw each Saturday on a mission to cut down firewood and help those in need.

For the past several weeks, Klotzko has been organizing firewood drive for flood victims in the Jay and Keene areas.

“The more people that help, the easier it gets,” Klotzko said. “Right now, it is a little disorganized, but the idea has been to go out every week and get firewood for people who lost their woodpiles or need more wood for the winter due to the storm.”

Klotzko said that, so far, he and those who have helped have been able to deliver wood to about eight homes in the areas most affected by the flooding and damage associated with Tropical Storm Irene.

“Many lost some or all of their firewood that they had prepared for winter, which is inching closer quickly,” he said. “We have gotten help to cut wood and a lot of generous donations from the small sedan driving up with a dozen pieces of wood to Paul Smith’s College brining a truck load of cut, dried firewood.”

Klotzko said that he wanted to do some-

thing to help people with winter approaching.

“When this first happened, there were a lot of great people concentrating on the immediate impact needs and providing a emergency place for food and other vital needs,” Klotzko said. “You also had the plans kicking in for the long-term, government-involved efforts. I started thinking about what was going to be happening in the relatively near future, and winter and firewood was the first thing that came to my mind.”

Klotzko said that there has been a good response to the firewood drive, one of which was most recently held on Saturday, Sept. 24.

“There are a lot of generous people out there who know how to use a chain saw and can do some cutting,” he said. “Robbie Lincoln has been kind enough to lend a wood splitter to our efforts — but we’ll need wood to cut and split. We need people who are comfortable with a chain saw or splitter and we also need people to help stage wood and stack split wood.”

If you are interested in helping with the wood drive or helping to coordinate the firewood drive, please contact Eric Klotzko at eric@klotnet.com or (518) 946-7655.

Owens weighs in on jobs plan, FEMA funding

Congressman Bill Owens talks to residents at North Country Community College Sept. 24.

Photo by Andy Flynn tion would be to change the direction of the conversation.

“We need to bring back into the discussion a positive conversation of how we’re going to solve the problems, not a negative conversation about what’s wrong with the other person’s thought or the other person’s point of view,” Owens said.

American Jobs Act As Owens was reviewing the 2011 American Jobs Act proposal, he was wondering whether the president’s measures would create demand in the marketplace, “because demand is critical with what we need to have,” he said.

The congressman likes the bill’s emphasis on infrastructure investment.

“That means people were working and getting paid,” he said, and buying asphalt, concrete and steel. “Then they go back into the community and spend money.”

He also likes the goal of putting 3.2 million people back to work.

“I think we need to focus there,” he said.

With 70 percent of the economy being consumerdriven, Owens said creating demand is a crucial goal.

“Ultimately, I don’t believe that unless you have demand, businesses will survive,” he said. “They (small business owners) need to see a trend in demand in order to have confidence (to create jobs).”

During the Town Hall meeting, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was in jeopardy of running out of money within a week unless the U.S. Senate passed the House bill approving funding. A vote that would have passed the House bill was defeated by Senate Republicans on Friday, Sept. 23, prompting a joint statement by the governors of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

“Our states have been hit hard by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee,” the governors said. “While the flood waters have receded and the storms are passed, the damage to communities, businesses and infrastructure remains significant.”

While these states have received federal disaster designations, full funding is not in place. About $3.6 billion had been allocated, but that would only cover about half the claims, according to

SARANAC LAKE — U.S. Rep. Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) answered questions for constituents of the 23rd Congressional District during a Town Hall meeting Sept. 24 at North Country Community College (NCCC).

Questions ranged from the congressman’s views on taxation, redistricting, and No Child Left Behind to health care industry mandates, term limits, and rebuilding streams after Tropical Storm Irene.

The most pressing questions centered around the U.S. Senate’s vote on FEMA funding and President Barack Obama’s 2011 American Jobs Act. “As we go through an incredibly difficult period, one in which it appears Congress is disfunctional, it’s stressful for everybody,” Owens said.

The congressman’s central message revolved around partisan infighting in Congress and the struggle between fact-based and ideological decision making.

“Trying to reach consensus on complex issues has proved to be very difficult,” Owens said. “Being able to have conversations based upon the facts has proven to be very difficult ... That is probably the thing that troubles me the most as I go through the process of participating in the legislative process ... We must be able to at least have an understanding of the facts.”

Owens recently watched a bipartisan supercommittee meeting in Congress and he found that most of the members’ comments and questions were ideologically loaded, instead of being factual.

“The issues are difficult enough. You don’t want to bundle it with ideology,” he said.

The congressman’s solu-

Owens.

The governors said it would take billions of dollars to rebuild after the storms.

“Our states’ governments and our citizens are doing their part to restore and rebuild,” the governors said.

“The federal government must also do its part ... Federal assistance for the victims of storms and floods should be beyond politics.”

Asked what he thought about the governors’ statement and getting “beyond politics,” Owens said, “I completely agree. I’ve been taking that position for weeks that I think this has been a disaster on the legislative level that people have ... held it (FEMA funding) hostage to ideology instead of getting the job done for people who have been really hurt by this process ...

I’m disappointed with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle.”

Asked if the federal government has done its part with regard to disaster relief in the wake of Irene and Lee, Owens said, “Not adequately. This is the first time in history where a disaster has not been responded to by the federal government in a timely manner and where disaster funding has been held hostage by one party.”

CATS trail project in Moriah

Chris Maron, the Champlain Area Trails executive director, said. “Creating a trail at Cheney Mountain fits into the goal of having a network of hiking/skiing trails that link our communities, connect people to nature, and promote economic vitality.

We envision many people coming to the Champlain Valley to hike, ski, and bike from hamlet to hamlet while using local businesses and enjoying places like Cheney Mountain.”

“Supervisor Tom Scozzafava first spoke about having this trail years ago so it is great to see it finally happen,” Town councilman, Paul Salerno said. “The trail is first part of a larger project to build ball fields, host concerts and have another easier walking trail on the town’s 144-acre property.”

The Cheney Mountain Trail Day begins at 8:30 a.m. and will last until about 1 p.m. People should meet on Pelfershire Road, about 1.4 miles west of Rt. 22/9N. Please bring gloves, loppers, and hand saws. The Town will also provide tools. For more details, call 962-2287 or email champlaintrails@gmail.com.

MORIAH — The Town of Moriah is partnering with Champlain Area Trails (CATS) to create a new hiking trail at Cheney Mountain. The trail will start by the former landfill on Pelfershire Road and follow an old logging road to the summit.

“We invite volunteers to come out on Saturday morning, Oct. 8 to begin clearing the trail,” Stewart Jerdo, who serves on the local trail committee, said. “We will cut tree limbs and saplings, remove fallen logs, and clear brush so people can enjoy hiking through the woods to see the spectacular views from the summit.”

“Creating the hiking trail is part of the effort to enhance the local economy,” said Tim Garrison, of the Moriah Community Economic Development Group (MCEDGe) which recently hosted the MoriahStock Music Festival and Johnny Podres Day. “We want this unused town land to have an attractive trail for residents and tourists so we contacted CATS to help us make it.”

“I was pleased to get the call,”

Former Seton coach named Lake Placid AD

cially, someone who knows Section 7, the league in general, and also has extensive coaching experience.”

LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid Central School District Board of Education appointed Matthew G. Walentuk to the position of athletic director effective Sept. 21.

The position came open due to a teacher resignation. The district advertised for the position, and after a month-long search, Walentuk was identified as the successful candidate.

A native of Alexandria Bay, Walentuk has a life-long passion for interscholastic athletics. He brings leadership experience to his position as AD. A standout high school athlete at Alexandria Bay High School, he captained the varsity baseball, basketball and football teams. He received his bachelor ’s degree in Adolescent Education in Mathematics from State University of New York (SUNY) at Cortland. He then completed a master ’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from SUNY Plattsburgh and is currently finishing an administrative certification from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts.

Walentuk served as a high school mathematics teacher and coach at Seton Catholic High School in Plattsburgh from July 2007 to June 2011. He has coached modified girls basketball and softball, modified boys baseball, and varsity girls basketball. He has also been the assistant varsity football coach.

“I feel this is a tremendous opportunity, and I feel privileged to work, as the athletic director, in a great school and community.

The surrounding beauty of the Adirondacks is simply fantastic,” Walentuk said.

As athletic director, Walentuk will be responsible for the overall operation of the interscholastic sports program. Duties will include staffing and development of coaches, budgeting, scheduling and promotion of the program. He will also provide instruction in mathematics for students in grades 6-12.

“The district is appreciative of Mrs. Donna Moody’s 10 years of service as athletic director for Lake Placid Central School District and looks forward to her continued contribution as volleyball and softball coach,” the school said in a statement. ”The district is pleased to have an experienced athletic director assume this leadership position, espe-

Black bear gets final touches for Carousel SARANAC LAKE — The Adirondack Carousel’s hand-carved black bear got a shiny coat for the winter last weekend at the Northwoods Inn, thanks to local artist Sandra Hildreth who has offered to paint the 170-pound bear.

Hildreth said she is looking forward to adding the finishing touches on the black bear, co-carved by Andy Manchester of Lake Clear and Carl Borst of Rotterdam.

Hildreth also painted two other carvings for the carousel in the otter and the bald eagle.

The black bear was accompanied by Borst, who also carved the Adirondack Carousel’s eagle, raccoon, beaver, and otter.

As with all the Adirondack Carousel figures, the bear is a lifelike carving that celebrates the unique character of the Adirondacks. Designed to fit on a carousel, the bear features a saddle for riders of all ages and whimsical additions such as fancy straps, bells and ribbons around its neck and waist, a chipmunk hiding under the bear ’s saddle, and the Carousel’s signature red ladybug.

The Adirondack Carousel is currently under construction in the William Morris Park in Saranac Lake. When it opens next year, it will offer a full-sized carousel with adjoining space for events, community meetings, and educational workshops about the Adirondacks.

The Carousel’s volunteer organization is seeking additional funds to help cover the increase in construction costs brought about by escalating oil prices and labor.

“We especially need volunteer labor and community support to help us offset these added costs,” board chair Marge Glowa said.

To view a photo gallery of the Adirondack Carousel’s carved figures or learn more about the carousel, visit adirondackcarousel.org, friend the carousel on Facebook or contact Marge Glowa at 891-3274.

LAKE PLACID — What’s in a name?

Take the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Museum as an example. When guests visit the museum, located in the Olympic Center in Lake Placid, they believe that they’ll only view and experience artifacts from both the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Winter Games, but there’s so much more. Not only does the museum feature items from the two Games held in Lake Placid, displays also include pieces from every Olympic Winter Games dating back to 1924.

That’s why the museum worked with the U.S. Olympic Committee to obtain International Olympic Committee (IOC) approval to change its name to the Lake Placid Olympic Museum.

Established in 1994, the Lake Placid Olympic Museum is the only one of its kind in the United States. In fact, it holds the largest Winter Games collection outside of the IOC’s Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. It’s also the only museum to have received the Olympic Cup, which is the oldest award given by the IOC.

In the second, Phelan connected with Devin Darrah on a 64-yard scoring pass before scoring from 52-yards out on the run.

Ben Monty then scored on a 25-yard run and threw a 50-yard score to TJ Monroe before Ty Curry scored from five yards out to end the half.

In the fourth quarter, Brady DeAngelo connected with Seth Pickerign for an 82 yard score top cap a big day for the Saranac Lake offense.

After Gouverneur scored late in the opening quarter for a 7-0 lead, the Chiefs offense started rolling when Ben Weightman scored on a run from 13-yards out and converted the two-point conversion with just over one minute gone in the quarter.

Weightman then connected with Austin Velie on a 13-yard pass and again ran for the conversion, followed by a 1-yard run for Weightman with 37 seconds left in the half.

Then, with 19 seconds left in the half, Weightman hit Ryan St. Clair for a 10yard scoring pass to give the Chiefs a 32-7 lead heading into halftime.

Indians best Beekmantown

By Keith Lobdell BEEKMANTOWN — The Beekmantown Eagles football team won the opening toss and chose to receive against the Peru Indians Sept. 24.

Football Continued from page 22 the first level, made a spin move and knew that I had to get to the end zone from there.”

“All year, we have been talking about when you have a letdown, you have to come back and do something positive,” Damiani said. “Shawn is a senior with a lot of experience and he did what we have talked about.”

After the two teams exchanged possession into the second quarter, the Indians got the ball at their own 11 yard line with 6:36 remaining in the half.

Peru then proceeded to go all 89 yards in the next 6:30, with quarterback Taylor Rock finding Mike Holdridge on a jump ball in the end zone from 21 yards out.

“They would jump me and then let me sit in the flat, so I thought that I would be open,” Holdridge said. “On that play I wasn’t, but I knew that I could out-jump the back (Backes).”

“I saw the match up and I knew that he could go up and get the ball,” Rock said about the scoring play just before halftime. “He’s a basketball player, and I knew he had hops and could get up to get the ball in the air.”

“That’s just big players making big plays throughout that drive,” Damiani said.

Rock and Holdridge connected again

in the third period, when Holdridge was wide open for a 46-yard scoring strike.

“The play before he was wide open and I missed him, so we ran it again and the same thing happened,” Rock said.

Rock’s third touchdown pass came in the final quarter on a rollout play to Tim Remillard.

The Eagles scored on the ensuing drive, when Frechette had his best drive of the game, going 5-for-7 passing for 51 yards, connecting with Luke Weaver for a three-yard scoring pass.

“We have been working all season on improvements each player has to make individually and their own things that they need to be better on,” Lozier said.

“We will be doing that again this week as we get ready for Albany Academy and homecoming.”

Damiani said that he will allow the team to enjoy the win for the weekend, but then it will be back to work to prepare for the Indians homecoming game against Gouverneur.

For the victorious Indians, Rock finished 7-of-9 passing for 107 yards and three touchdowns, with Bazzano catching two balls for 44 yards, Holdridge catching the two scoring tosses for a total of 67 yards, Tyler Murphy catching a key third down pass for 12 yards and Remillard catching the 18-yard scoring pass.

Hendrix ran the ball 10 times for 95 yards and the one score, while Cederstrom carried 18 times for 83 yards and a score, Jeff Kurz carried 10 times for 51 yards, and Rock carried 11 times for 31 yards.

“I really am not a runner,” Rock joked after the game. “That’s my first positive rushing game I can remember.”

Defensively, Bazzano contributed with the forced fumble, Cederstrom had a fumble recovery and a sack, and Kurz added a fumble recovery.

For the Eagles Frechette used the strong finish to go 12-of-21 passing for 114 yards and one score, but was held to 28 yards rushing on 13 carries. No other Beekmantown back reached double-digits in rushing, while Weaver caught five balls for 42 yards and the score.

Sebastian Bailey had the lone turnover for the Eagles with a fumble recovery.

Sentinels beat Hornets

The Ticonderoga Sentinels scored 20 points in the opening 12 minutes en route to a 46-0 win against the Plattsburgh High Hornets Sept. 24.

Will Love finished with 23 yards rushing and 1-for-8 passing for 26 yards. Kristian Sherman also threw for 26 yards on 2-of-7 passing.

Volleyball Continued from page 22 Noelle Miller had seven aces and 12 kills for the Patriots, while Jacqueline Hoey had 10 aces and paced the team defensively with 17 digs.

Tessa King had eight kills for the Bobcats, while Ariel Filion had a balanced offensive game with nine kills and 15 assists from the setter position.

Crossbows legal during regular big game season

Autumn’s Splendor it, as hikers take to the trails in earnest, and paddlers venture upon cooler waters, for one last fling down the stream.

Unlike the winter, autumn arrives in a more gradual fashion. It slowly grows across the mountainous landscape, from the peaks to the bogs and beyond, until it finally encompasses the entire region.

A new license year

A 'new' Cascade Falls, which tumbles from high in the notch located between the Upper and Lower Cascade Lakes in Keene, was revealed following Tropical Storm Irene. Although measurements need to be verified, the flow may be in contention for the title of the tallest waterfall in the Adirondacks. Currently, the title is held by T-Lake Falls, near Piesco in Hamiliton County, which falls over 600 feet.

A

utumn’s full splendor has finally arrived, especially in the upper elevations, where the hillsides are currently flanked in a startling array of

fall color.

Gradually, this fantastic fantasia of foliage will trickle down from the High Peaks to the foothills and into the valleys below, as the leaves progress from the brilliant scarlet, orange and red of the early season, to the duller yellows and rusty reds of late autumn.

Weather patterns will gradually become decidedly cooler, and as daylight hours begin to diminish more determinedly, the region will experience the full-on fall.

Wood smoke will again scent the evening air, as flocks of Canada and Snow geese sound the alarm from on high.

Salmon will return to the rivers to spawn, as brook trout and lake trout gather on the lakes and ponds, for the same purpose.

Whitetail deer will gradually change from the reddish shades of summer to their blue winter coats, and the bucks will begin polishing their headgear, in an effort to attract a mate.

Summer camps will be closed and shuttered for the year, just as hunting camps begin to be opened up and aired out in anticipation of the upcoming season.

It is a time to enjoy a long hike on a warm Indian Summer ’s day, or embrace the quiet, stillness of a morning spent on a fog-enshrouded, stillwater, backwoods pond.

Busloads of leaf-peepers will return ‘up North’ for a vis-

For members of the sporting community, autumn is a period of great indecision, for there are simply too many outdoor options available to consider, ranging from hunting, to fishing to trapping, and beyond.

However, sportsmen and women should not forget that October 1 is the beginning of the new license year, especially if they want to continue to hunt, fish or trap.

Monies collected from the sale of sporting licenses, combined with a special excise tax collected from the sale of sporting equipments such as firearms and ammunition, bows and arrows, and rods and reels, generates over $1.75 billion annually. These funds are used to pay the operating expenses for a majority of state fish and wildlife agencies.

All outdoor travelers must do their part! Fortunately, the non-consumptive outdoor sporting community now has an opportunity to contribute as well. They can pitch in by purchasing a Trails Supporter Patch, which is available for $5 at all, outlets where sporting licenses are sold.

Proceeds from the sale of the patches goes to the Conservation Fund's Outdoor Recreation, Trail Maintenance, and Development Account, to help maintain and enhance over 3,500 miles of non-motorized trails throughout New York State.

Cold water PFD law

It is important for boaters and paddlers to remember that New York state now has a Cold Water PFD law which requires that all boaters on recreational watercraft less than 21 feet in length, including motorboats, canoes, kayaks, rowboats and sailboats, must wear a personal flotation device (PFD) from November 1 to May 1 on New York waters.

The measure was developed to address a number of fatalities involving off-season boaters who were not wearing PFDs. Roughly 25 percent of the state's total of boating fatalities have occurred in the off season.

According to the US Coast Guard, 75% of all fatal boating accident victims drowned, and of those, 88% were not wearing a life jacket.

Death by drowning continues to be one of the primary causes of hunter fatalities. It occurs most often, when a heavily dressed hunter stands in a boat to take a pee at seas.

Although the skies may be blue, the landscape colorful and the autumn weather, warm and wonderful, outdoor travelers should never forget that Adirondack waters are cold and deadly, especially in the fall of the year! A life jacket, no matter the season, is the single best way boaters can stay safe on the water. Tie one on, and be sure to waterproof your family and friends as well!

T

here seems to be some confusion regarding the new legislation that allows crossbow use during the upcoming 2011 big game season, and with good reason. I’ve seen very little in print since the governor signed the legislation into law last year.

The reality is it is going to affect few people, unless you’re a purist who would rather hunt with a crossbow during regular season than a high-powered rifle.

In my opinion, it’s not much of a decision.

For those who have not read the law, crossbows are legal this year only during the early bear season, regular firearms seasons, late muzzleloader seasons, and the special firearms season in Suffolk County.

They cannot be used by the elderly or handicapped, cannot be used during any bow seasons or in any archery only areas and cannot be used during the muzzleloader season in the northern zone.

They can only be used to hunt deer or bear, and cannot be used during any small game seasons or to hunt turkey.

To possess a crossbow to hunt deer or bear, all you need to do is read a short form about the rules and legal requirements, sign a business-card-size certificate and carry it with you with your big game license. You can print out the form online at www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/crossbowform.pdf.

That’s it — no special crossbow education class to sit through and no extra fee to pay for a separate license.

While the new crossbow legislation does crack the door to crossbow use in the Empire State, it is painfully obvious that there are plenty of special interest groups still holding the door securely shut on the other side.

The fact that the law doesn’t even allow the elderly or handicapped to use crossbows during bow season — something that is nearly universally supported by all user groups — is evidence of that.

Whitetail Classic free this season Tony McCutcheon, creator of the New York Whitetail Classic, is opening the statewide big buck contest to anyone who would like to sign up, free of charge.

In a prepared statement, McCutcheon said there has been a significant drop in participation during recent years, a drop he attributes to the economy. In response, this year’s 2011 contest will be free to everyone who enters and hunters will be able to enter anytime during the season.

Hunters must enter the contest at least 24 hours before taking a deer. Sign-up sheets will be available at a number of supporting businesses and online at www.nywhitetailclassic.com.

Final deadline for entry is Dec. 10. Certificates will be issued as prizes, recognizing hunters with the biggest bucks entered this season. A scoring session, will be held Jan. 14, 2012, with the location and time to be announced later.

Lease looking for members The KC Brook Club, formerly East River Club in Tahawus, is seeking new members and I promised member Alan Huggard I’d give them a plug in this column.

The club encompasses 2,800 acres of former Finch, Pruyn land and contains four camps. There are currently 21 members, but the group would like to boost that number to 32.

I’ve personally hunted some of this area and it is definitely pretty country with great genetics for big deer. Alan tells me the crew are all tight-knit and the camaraderie is second to none. He said the recreational opportunities for members and their families do not end with deer hunting — there are miles of roads and trails for everything from hiking to cross country skiing to snowmobiling.

To find out more, or to take a tour of the property, contact Alan Huggard in Wevertown at (518) 251-3563.

The Willsboro fish and game held its youth pheasant hunt Sept. 23 and 25. Pictured are, front row left to right, Mike Piserchia and his dogs Anka and Lord, Conner, Juliana, Jack, Lucas, Austin, Todd Baily and his dog Huck.

Back row left to right, Colby, Matt, Alex, Joe, Calvin, Jace, Judd and Joe Pray. Club members said they wished to thank John Oliver, Roger Sayward, Bub Mclean, Joe Piserchia, Todd Baily and Joe Pray for their help.

This is what the certificate looks like that the state is requiring a hunter fill out, sign and carry with their hunting license to hunt with a crossbow this season. This form can be found and printed out at www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/crossbowform.pdf
