ELIZABETHTOWN — Two days after reports surfaced about a criminal investigation into the Essex County Clerk’s Office, the Essex County Board of Supervisors debated whether they could talk about the matter in executive session.

In the end, the board opted against the session, and instead decided to allow the matter to be handled through the county ethics board.

A newspaper in Oswego County, also named the Valley News, reported over the weekend that Franklin County District Attorney Derek Champagne has been assigned as a special prosecutor concerning possible improprieties with Essex County’s bidding process and specifically the awarding of a contract for a digital CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Supervisors appointed Linda Beers of Schroon Lake as the new director of the county’s Public Health Department.

The board voted unanimously at its Oct. 4 meeting to appoint Beers to the position, as she had been serving as the director of services for children with disabilities in the department previously.

“I’m thrilled and honored to be chosen to do this,” Beers said after being sworn in by Clerk to the Board of Supervisors Deborah Palmer during the monthly meeting of the board. “I look forward to facing the challenges in the years to come, and we have a staff of good ladies and gentlemen who are well-trained.”

Beers said that her experience within the department and working with patients with special needs will help

her in the new role.

Beers enters the position as the county prepares for another tough budget season, where the county is concerned with keeping costs low in the face of a 2 percent tax cap and after increased emergency spending in the wake of recent flooding both at the end of summer and in the spring.

“The fiscal challenges are the ones that are the biggest

stumbling blocks right now,” Beers said. “There is some reform coming down from the state, but we will not know what that looks like until it gets here.”

Beers also said that being able to work with and adapt to unforeseen public health issues was also a challenge that she looked forward to finding answers for.

Beers was joined at the swearing in by son Mitchell,

father William Bolz and family friend Connie Bluteau.

After appointing Beers, the board also passed a unanimous resolution of appreciation to interim director Kathy Daggett, who served during the sixmonth process of looking for a new head of the department before picking Beers.

County Continued from page 1 imaging and indexing system at the clerk’s office.

Reports also stated that Champagne was appointed as the special prosecutor after the Essex County District Attorney’s Office recused itself from the case.

The issue stems from the awarding of a contract to Info Quick Solutions of Liverpool for $76,800 annually, under the recommendation of County Clerk Joseph Provoncha, which was not the lowest bid.

The investigation also pertains to e-mails that were exchanged between Info Quick representatives and the clerk’s office which were acquired by the Fulton County newspaper under the Freedom of Information Act. At the Oct. 4 meeting of the county board, attorney Daniel Manning asked for an executive session to discuss the, “employment history of a particular person or persons,” and that the matter may or may not relate to Provoncha and some of the

employees within the office.

“In your opinion, is it appropriate for this board to be in executive session concerning an elected official,” questioned Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston.

“I would say yes,” Manning responded.

Moriah Supervisor Thomas “Tom” Scozzafava was the biggest opponent of the executive session, stating that if it were him as an elected official being questioned, he would want everything to be out in the open.

“With employees I can understand an executive session,” Scozzafava said. “I have a real problem going into an executive session

Essex C ounty Clerk Joseph Provoncha. over an elected official that we have no say over other than the budget for that department. I don’t see any charges that have been filed.

Can you go into an executive session based on what is in the newspapers? I’d rather

have you bring it out here on the floor.”

Lewis Supervisor David Blades asked if the matter was set to go before the recently created county ethics board.

“We have an ethics board, and this should go before the ethics board and they should render a decision,” Blades said.

“It is going before the board,” County Chairman Randall “Randy” Douglas said. Douglas and Manning added later that a meeting of the ethics board has been scheduled for within the next two weeks.

“It’s going to take a while, because there is a lot of stuff there,” Douglas said.

“I looked at what was sent through the FOIL request

Valley News - 3 and I have many concerns,” Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery-Corey said.

“There are things that definitely need to be considered.”

Douglas said the need for an executive session pertained to the employees that may also be involved in the matter.

“It could also pertain to other employees,” Douglas said about the issue. “I got a legal opinion from the county attorney of how best to proceed.”

After discussion, no one offered a motion to adjourn to executive session to discuss the matter in private.

“We will leave it up to the ethics board at this point,” Douglas concluded.

During discussions, a pair

of supervisors expressed their belief that the matter was intended to hurt Provoncha’s chances of being re-elected in the Nov. 8 General Election, where he is running against challenger Brent Vosburg. “(Provoncha) has given this county 20 years of service,” St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency said. “We are all acting like we know that there are charges. It’s like a vendetta and I am so upset with what is going on in here. This is a threat to his re-election campaign.”

“This is old-fashioned election year politics,” Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said. “It’s just the same crap.”

irst of all, a correction from last week's column. I got the library's email wrong; it is bnoblelib1899@willex.

This Saturday night, get yourself down to the Whallonsburg Grange and participate in some square and contra dancing.

There will be a live band playing traditional and Celtic dance tunes, with instructors on hand to help you learn the steps. You don't need a partner, or patent leather shoes, or any experience, just $6 to get in the door. Students are half price, and it all starts at 7 p.m.

The gallery of the Adirondack Art Association will be open this weekend and Monday, and then that's it for this season.

You might want to see the show and perhaps get in a little early Christmas shopping.

Also this weekend is a tour of artists' studios in the Boquet Valley. A number will have their studios open, marked by bright yellow signs. This is a great opportunity to talk to local artists and get a

sense of how they unleash their creativity.

More information can be had at boquetstudiotour.com.

This week my mother, age 85, and my son (Westport Central School, Class of '01) and I are in London. Paradoxically, my mother strongly dislikes most old people and thus detests tours, and yet she's not quite able to go on her own. My son provides navigational advice and history lessons, while I handle the cooking and make sure we all look right when crossing a street. I haven't been to England since I was a teenager, and the place has changed a lot. The air no longer carries smell of burning coal, there are no more steam locomotives running the rails, and there's almost no tweed to be seen on the streets.

On the other hand, women's skirts are still very short, sausage is served at every meal, and the hard apple cider is delicious. Sadly, you can't walk past 10 Downing Street any more, and Westminster Abbey, formerly free of charge, now costs $24 to enter.

Next week, we're off to Amsterdam.

haven't been up in the hills since the leaves started to turn, but I imagine we're approaching or even just past peak foliage in the higher elevations.

Meanwhile, things are starting to crisp up a little down here in the Champlain Valley (though usually it's somewhat dryer as part of that process!). The furnace hasn't been on yet, but my little space heater has offered its cocoon of comfort once or twice already. And I'm starting to think about the wood stove, so I've got to get off my butt and clean out the stove pipe, which I always seem to put off until the last moment.

It's that time of year again, and that means it's time for a reminder about the Westport Fuel Fund, which is a special fund set up to help Westport residents with the high cost of winter heat. It doesn't replace HEAP, the Home Energy Assistance Program, so if you already get help from HEAP the Westport Fuel Fund can supplement that assistance. How's that for good news? It's also available to those whose income is too high to qualify for

I appreciate all the wonderful feedback that I have received concerning my column and my adventures with the birds and other wildlife in my community. Some of the birds are back and one of my neighborhood chipmunks is going crazy stuffing his cheeks and scurrying back and forth preparing for winter. I’m slowly getting a set-up that I’m quite happy with in my

backyard. I have a ceramic dish attached to the side of my house below my bedroom window which I fill with birdseed much to the delight of one of my cats since I built a padded shelf inside the house on the windowsill. A couple of feet back from this I have a bird feeder hanging from a shepherd’s hook, also to the visual delight of the cat. I love watching how a bunch of birds, starlings or blue jays, will come and land on the ground while one bird stands on the top of the feeder shaking it so the seed falls to the ground. When the big boys are full then I get quite a few morning doves and a couple of chipmunks feeding off the ground. Much better entertainment for me and my cats than TV ever could be.

As I’ve mentioned many times in my column, it is not hard at all to find so much beauty and wonders in our community; you just need to have your eyes and mind open. Stay safe and well everyone and enjoy our beautiful community.

he mountains are nearing their peak of color and trailheads are packed with the cars of hikers.

The occasional sound of gunfire means hunters are getting ready for opening day of deer season. This year turkey season starts October 1 and deer season begins October 15. If you’re in the woods for hiking, jogging or mountain biking, make sure you wear bright red or blaze orange. Most hunters are in the woods at dawn and again at dusk, so hiking might be safer at mid-day. That’s especially true for the Blueberry Trails, which has been a popular hunting area for decades.

Saint Elizabeth’s Catholic Church will host its annual Harvest Dinner at the Parish Hall on Sunday, Oct. 9, from 2 to 6 p.m. They will be serving their wonderful roast beef with all the fixings that go with it. The price is $9 for adults and $5 for children under 12. Carryout dinners are also available.

Back by popular demand is the Historic Elizabethtown & Lewis Churches slide show. It will be presented at the UCC (Stone Church) on Sunday, Oct. 16, at 4 p.m. This is the third time for this pro-

gram, which features old photos and stories by Margaret Bartley. The program is free and donations for the Stained Glass Fund are appreciated. The fund, which is managed by the Adirondack History Museum, will be used to restore the stained glass windows in the Elizabethtown Town Hall.

The hours at the Thrift Shop will change starting Oct. 10. The new times are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday hours will remain 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday will be 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The new hours will be posted on the Thrift Shop sign.

Shredding Day is coming to the Ticonderoga Credit Union on Tuesday, Oct. 18, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This second Annual Shred Fest is designed to help people protect their identities. Documents will be shredded on site in a mobile shredding truck. The first ten participants will receive a free TFCU umbrella. Bring your bag or boxes of papers you want destroyed, such as old checks, bank records and medical records. In exchange for this free service, TFCU asks participants to bring a non-perishable food item for donation to the local food pantries.

Local musician to donate to flood relief through new album

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com KEENE — Martha Gallagher — “The Adirondack Harper” — was in a hotel in Syracuse, just wrapping up a nationwide tour when the reports came on about the damage being done by Tropical Storm Irene in the North Country.

“Watching what they were showing on television from Keene and Keene Valley, I was sure that when I got home it would be gone,” Gallagher, a singer, songwriter and harpist who performs throughout the country. “When I got home, it was still there, but we had lost a major portion of the foundation as well as 10 feet down of earth.”

Gallagher said that after she had returned, there were several people who helped her in the recovery effort.

Now, she wants to give back by selling a new album with all proceeds going to benefit the Keene Flood Relief Fund.

Gallager said that along with the release, she would be taking the album with her on her next tour, which starts this month in Texas.

“I have a base of folks that really enjoy the music throughout the country and I am hoping they will help with this album,” she said.

“This album has music that is all very gentle and comfortable, which is a little bit of a different album for me because I usually try and do a wide variety of musical styles.”

Gallagher will also be appearing in special flood relief concerts throughout the area, including a performance Saturday, Oct. 8, at 7:30 p.m. at the Keene Valley Congregational Church.

The event is presented by the East Branch Friends of the Arts and all proceeds

will go to the Keene Flood Recovery Fund.

Gallagher will also be performing as part of the JEMS flood recovery concert with other artists on Saturday,

Shared services key to school futures T

hese are difficult times for school districts. They face unprecedented budget cuts while at the same time feel the pressure to offer better educational opportunities for students. And it’s about to get even tougher. The new state 2 percent tax cap will handcuff schools even more in the 2012-13 academic year.

What’s a school administrator to do?

The answer may well lie in shared services.

The state comptroller ’s office has issued a paper on “Local Government and School Accountability.” The top item in its list of suggested school costsaving measurers is “cooperation and consolidation.” While Ticonderoga and Crown Point school districts have asked the Department of State for an application for grant money to conduct a merger study, it’s unlikely any local schools will be combining in the near future. That leaves cooperation.

This fall Crown Point is sending six students to Ticonderoga High School daily to take a physics class. Crown Point will pay Ti for cost of lab materials and incidentals, but the agreement is much less expensive for Crown Point than hiring a physics teacher and setting up a lab.

“It’s working out very well,” John McDonald, Ticonderoga superintendent, said. “It’s a good opportunity for these kids to get a class normally not available to them. We’re happy to provide it.”

McDonald is also pleased local schools are sharing some transportation costs this year.

Moriah shuttles St. Mary’s students from Crown Point to and from the Ticonderoga school daily. Ticonderoga drops off and picks up Crown Point’s CV-Tech Mineville students on their way by twice a day.

“Our efforts to share services as we can speaks to the ways all our districts

are doing their best to make opportunities for students available within limited budget constraints,” Shari Brannock, Crown Point superintendent, said.

Shared services is nothing new for many scholastic athletic teams. Minerva-Newcomb and Indian Lake-Long Lake have fielded combined sports teams for several years. Moiah, Westport, Keene and Elizabethtown-Lewis have had joint track and swimming teams. Saranac, Peru and Seton Catholic share a hockey team.

And there are opportunities for other shared services, such as joining forces with local colleges.

Crown Point and other area districts participate with North Country Community College and Paul Smith’s College to offer classes that simultaneously garner high school and college credit. The classes are taught at local schools by local teachers with the approval of NCCC and Paul Smith’s.

The NCCC and Paul Smith’s classes include English composition I and II, creative writing, Adirondack history, psychology, American history I and II, integrated algebra, statistics, financial accounting, and introduction to nutrition.

Schroon Lake Central School has similar arrangements with SUNY-Albany and Adirondack Community College.

School district administrators need to take a close look at their neighbors with an eye toward sharing even more services — services that ultimately benefit students and taxpayers.

Help support United Way

Prescription drugs a danger

To the Valley News: It has been said that our true character is demonstrated when times are tough. I’ve lived in this area all my life and I’ve seen the people of Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties demonstrate awesome character in difficult times. We’ve banded together during floods and ice storms, when catastrophic events happened, and when businesses closed their doors and people lost their jobs.

We’ve pulled together to help others when it would have been easier to walk away.

In these tough economic times, we have the opportunity to band together and show others our character. There are hundreds of people in our area that need our assistance, and they depend on the agencies supported by the United Way. The United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. is in the midst of its annual campaign to raise funds for the benefit of the 39 agencies that provide for the needs of our friends and neighbors. Giving to the United Way is the most efficient and effective way to pool our donations to help the most people because 100 percent of the money you donate stays in this area and helps people you know.

When you’re contacted about donating to the United Way, please pledge generously.

The economic times are tough but this is the time when we can all band together to help others like we’ve done in the past. This is the time for our character to shine.

Residents of Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties who are not part of a campaign through their employer, but still want to participate, may send their donation directly to the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc, 45 Tom Miller Road, Plattsburgh, NY 12901.

Thank you.

very fourteen minutes, someone in America dies of a drug overdose.

Sharp increases in fatalities have been noted over the last two decades and most of the dramatic increases are being driven by prescription drug overdoses.

In total, the annual deaths from drug overdoses exceed a major airline crash every week killing everyone on board.

By Scot Hurlburt Planes would be grounded immediately until the problem was identified and remedied. The issue of prescription drug abuse in America will be much more difficult to remediate.

A recent study of the Center for Disease Control data revealed that for the first time in America, more Americans died from drug overdoses than from automobile accidents.

With the notable exception of drug overdose, most preventable death in America has been declining for the last three decades.

Prescription drug overdoses have increased exponentially, in fact, they have doubled in the last decade. In 2009, 33,808 Americans perished in automobile accidents and for the first time since records have been compiled, drug overdoses accounted for 37,485 deaths in America. Prescription drug overdoses now account for more drug deaths than heroin or cocaine combined.

The CDC identified that Vicodin and Xanax killed more Americans in 2009 than Heroin and Cocaine combined. Deaths from prescription painkillers, Vicodin and Oxycontin increased by 256-percent between 2000 and 2008. Deaths from Valium and Xanax increased by 284-percent between 2000 and 2008. Deaths from Cocaine and Heroin rose by 68-percent and 56-percent respectively during the same time period. Fentanyl a drug more potent than Morphine can be used as a skin patch or as a loll-pop, usage routes that belie the drugs lethality when abused.

The most commonly abused drugs in America are Oxycontin, Vicodin, Xanax and Soma with Vicodin also known as Hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is a powerful drug with an enormous abuse potential. Not surprisingly, Hydrocodone is the most commonly prescribed drug and is also the most frequently abused drug in America.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration revealed that Opiate use has increased by 111-percent between 2004 and 2008. Surprisingly, the greatest level of drug abuse is among Americans in their forties, followed by those in their fifties, followed by teens and young adults.

A 2010 University of Michigan study of high school students found that teens chose Vicodin as their drug of choice second only to Marijuana. The National Center on Addictions and Substance Abuse found that 15-percent of those in grades 9-12 admitted to prescription drug abuse.

There is no typical drug abuser other than they represent Americans of every age group and demographic.

Overdose victims range from the teenager that mixes a lethal drug cocktail to the forty year old addicted to pain medications for a bad back to the elderly grandmother who forgets that she already took her pain pills and takes them again.

Eight out of 10 prescriptions written in the entire world every day are written for Americans. The presence of drugs in our lives has become ubiquitous. Fifty percent of all Americans are taking one or more prescribed medications every day. Even very young children are put at risk from overdose because of the presence of drugs in the home.

If drugs are not properly secured, young children may accidently ingest them. The motivation for abusing drugs may range from a college student who wants to get high you a housewife that has underestimated the powerful interaction of alcohol and painkillers to the injured construction worker or soldier who can no longer get through their lives without their medications.

As parents, we can secure dangerous medications where they cannot be taken accidently or for abuse purposes. Adults can also set an example by not reaching for a pill when they are stressed and instead go for a walk or a run. Americans may also need to ask government officials to study this issue more closely so that a national awareness and urgency can be brought to this important issue.

Support for candidates To the Valley News: As a longtime Westport resident, I have served as town supervisor, School Board president, fireman and emergency squad, Chamber president and co-chair with the mayor for the mutual concerns.

With these experiences, I have an indepth understanding of Westport’s government.

Dan Connell should continue as supervisor. In this position he has demonstrated understanding and capabilities. He has shown fairness in his assessments of town undertakings and has enlisted committees to have impact in decisions. When necessary, he has placed controversial issues on the ballot enabling townspeople to vote. He has abided by the will of the people. Having a good relationship with outside government agencies. He has helped our community immensely (for example: for having the DEC reopen the brush landfill to take care of debris from the recent storm). Re-elect Dan

E

Connell.

There are two council seats to be filled.

Mike Tyler should continue as councilman.

There is no substitute for experience which he has garnered. He shows genuine interest in all matters concerning the town. Re-elect Mike Tyler.

Dan McCormick, a retired guidance counselor, is a good choice for councilman, his previous duties include budgeting, securing grants, exercising authority and negotiating. This past experience is invaluable in a councilman position. Being a longtime resident, he is well aware of the needs of Westport and the financial obligations it can support. Having served on the steering and tax committees for the future of Westport project have given me a comprehensive insight of Westport.

Please support this serious and well qualified candidate.

Thank you for your consideration in this most important matter.

School drive supported To the Editor: Thank you to everyone who donated school supplies to the Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union (TFCU) Second Annual Supplies Drive in August. Hundreds of supplies and several monetary donations were collected during the month, to help make sure that local students started the school year off ready to learn.

The supplies were collected at Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union branches and ATM locations (International Paper Ticonderoga Mill and Schroon Lake Grand Union Family Market) throughout the month. All donations were distributed to local students and schools in need.

The following supplies were given to those who need them: glue sticks, notebooks, binders and loose leaf paper, boxes of crayons, rulers, pencil boxes, packs of colored pencils, packages of erasers and whiteout, backpacks, construction paper and dozens of packages of pens, pencils, markers and highlighters, scissors and calculators.

TFCU wishes to thank ALL the community members supporting their second annual supplies drive. Without their support, it could not be the successful event that it has become.

Recreation path needed To the Valley News: We firmly believe that our community needs a multi-use, family friendly recreation path in order to stay competitive with other area vacation destinations, such as Stowe, Vt. However, we are dismayed by the position that Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates is taking on this issue.

For more than a decade, multiple groups have worked tirelessly to negotiate a “Trail

by Rail” recreational path that is now fully permitted between Lake Placid and Ray brook and is expected to be permitted to Saranac Lake. Grant money has been secured to pay for the majority of the costs, and the project is ready to go out to bid.

However, Trail Advocates suggests that we disregard that effort and insist that the rail be torn up so a recreational trail can be made from Lake Placid to Tupper Lake. I agree that this would be the best use of this land; however, this argument should have been made 10 years ago, not now that so much effort has been put forth toward the “Trail by Rail” plan.

The Trail Advocates claim that the grant money already secured for the “Trail by

Rail” path can be reallocated is inaccurate.

We would have to reapply for new grants and permits for Trail Advocates’ proposal. It would take another decade to even prepare to build the path that the group is proposing, and nothing in our current economic climate suggests that any money will be available at that point.

The existing grant money will be lost if we do not act on the current plan. So many of us have been waiting for this path for such a long time, I would hate to give up this vision due to an inability to compromise.

Support for the Jobs Act To the Valley News: Americans, please get involved with the most important issues affecting our country today: the economy and need for job creation.

I am writing each member of Congress to urge the quick passage of the Jobs Act of 2011. My conversation with fellow Americans indicate we are tired of the posturing and “eloquence” of the opposition to moral and ethical values — in other words, ways to help less fortunate Americans live better lives. All Americans should have access to a reasonable quality of life.

Let’s work hard to move America to the ranks of the Middle East, where there are two classes: the rich and the poor. Congress is doing a great job toward that end.

Democrats, fight harder to demonstrate the value of your ideals and compromise reasonably.

Republicans, your “mandate” to balance the budget on the backs of middle class/poor/senior Americans due to the 2010 election has paled somewhat. Congressional ratings are at an all-time low, and the increase in Republican legislators has had time to lift that negative perception without success.

Many people are sick of intractable ideology that overlooks the real problems of this country: jobs, the economy and balancing the budget.

Remember that article by Warren Buffett?

He is one example of an affluent individual saying he will pay more in taxes to make an impact on the budget and the economy.

Congress, stop worrying about politics and do something good for the American people.

I know that’s never going to happen. Instead, Americans will have to listen to “concerns” about the Jobs Act and watch congressional members attempt to postpone, modify or kill the act so the president cannot claim credit for a strong jobs plan during an election cycle.

Surprise the American people: Do something in our best interest and pass the bill.

Colleen Downs Elizabethtown

Know about the candidates To the Valley News: During the election season, we are sure to be deluged with false information about candidates via the Internet. It is our duty as citizens to check out which is true or not.

I have checked out the number of employees on Michelle Obama’s staff. Her staff is about the same size as Laura Bush’s staff.

Lady Bird Johnson’s staff was bigger, as were Betty Ford’s and Jacqueline Kennedy’s.

I received false information about this in my email several months ago. I was angry also, but by checking, I know it was sent out by someone trying to do harm to Mrs. Obama.

Keep checking the facts, folks. As the election gets closer, we will be receiving all sorts of misinformation.

WILLSBORO — Three years after the vote was cast, several parents addressed the Willsboro Central School Board of Education about the decision to no longer sponsor an annual senior class trip.

The decision, which was voted on in 2008, goes into effect with the class of 2013, the first class, at that point, which had not started fundraising for a trip.

“Over the years, there had been issues, and we were hearing a lot of feedback from the residents and concerns about what they felt were school-sponsored vacations,” board President Craig Jackson said. “It was a matter that was on the agenda for discussion back in 2008, and we decided then that the class of 2012 would be the last to have a trip.”

“One of the board’s concerns at that time, and it is still a concern, is the liability that we assume for the students and the liability that is placed on the chaperones,” school Superintendent Stephen Broadwell said. “The board’s decision was to limit that exposure. We are just eliminating the week-long trip.

We are not saying that they cannot

Murals painted throughout the building were covered in order to be preserved, classrooms had reminders of those who had once learned there, and the scoreboard still hung in the walkway that fans used to look down from during basketball games in “the pit.”

Schwartzberg said that he hopes the project he is working on will be a marriage of the building’s past and present.

leave the county.”

Parents at the meeting expressed their concerns that, among others, the original vote was not publicized.

“No one in the community knew that there was a vote taken,” Angela Pierce said. “I have talked with people for the last week-and-a-half before this meeting, and they had no clue.”

“To me, there are children who will never get a chance to get on a plane other than this trip,” Lisa Cumm said.

“The senior trip is something that is always discussed and remembered when you go to your reunions and see your old classmates.”

Pierce said that she felt the trips did offer educational merit.

“Who can say that Disney or MGM Studios are not educational?” Pierce said. “Who says that education cannot also be a little fun?”

“Just getting out of Willsboro is educational,” Cumm added.

Parents also said that the majority of other schools in the region still have a senior trip, even threatening that the loss of the trip would cause more students to go to other schools.

School board members also commented, most stating that they agreed with the current situation.

“We are not going to hide the fact that this used to be a school,” Schwartzberg told a group of people interested in the work being done. “We want to keep that character, and we want people to be able to come here and feel that part of the history of the building.”

“We want to preserve the walls and the murals that were created,” said Jesse Schwartzberg, Eli’s brother and one of the architects on the project. “We are turning a school into a living center, and they are different uses archi-

“I think that you should not sell your kids short and just assume that after they graduate, they will not get out of New York state,” board member Phyllis Klein said. “We try to instill in them that learning is a lifelong experience.”

Klein also offered the idea of a parent-led organization for the senior trip, instead of the school format where teacher-advisors were responsible for the fundraising and oversight.

“There is no reason why you cannot get together and organize as a group of parents,” Klein said.

“What would be the difference between the school organizing the class trip or a community of parents doing the same?” board member Jon Steeves said. “Why couldn’t the community take on that role?”

Board member Bruce Hale said that the need for the school to protect the interest of the taxpayer is the top priority when it comes to decisions like this.

“If we feel something is an undue risk, we have to go against that,” Hale said. “It may not be popular, but we have to do what is in the best interest for the taxpayers.”

Schwartzberg said that the location of the building allows more access to the community than in other senior communities.

Schwartzberg added that the financing for the project is in place, along with a contribution from the Essex County Industrial Development Agency of a small loan. He added that he is still looking to raise a final $400,000 to go toward construction closing costs.

Paul Smiths enrollment climbs PAUL SMITHS — Enrollment surged for the second consecutive year at Paul Smith’s College, as its total number of students remain near 30-year highs.

Enrollment for the fall semester is 1,063 students. That’s up more than 5 percent from last fall, when 1,007 enrolled, and 16 percent from two years ago. It’s the highest level since enrollment topped 1,100 in 1981. A new, 93-bed residence hall designed to LEED standards is accommodating the growth.

“We’re growing because students and their families understand that a Paul Smith’s education today creates opportunities tomorrow,” Dr. John W. Mills, president of Paul Smith’s College, said. “Our focus on experiential learning is valued by employers, and we’re excited to welcome this great group of students as we begin our 65th year.”

A survey of recent Paul Smith’s graduates completed by the college this summer showed that 90 percent either landed jobs in their chosen fields or went to graduate

school within six months of graduation.

“Our plan is to keep expanding, but our students are very dependent on financial aid from both federal and state sources,” Mills said.

“When more students attend Paul Smith's, that's good news for the Adirondack economy as well. Increased enrollment means there are more students purchasing goods and services in the community. It also means that we are creating jobs for new faculty and staff.”

About 400 students are enrolled in the incoming class or have transferred from other institutions.

Most of the new students — 68 percent — are from New York state.

The on-campus growth led to the construction of a new residence hall, Overlook Hall, which is located off Keese Mills Road. The $8 million building, which was designed and built by BBL Construction Services of Albany, opened earlier this month. It features 23 four-bedroom suites, each of which includes a kitchen, living room and two bathrooms.

High Falls Gorge rises from storm damage to reopen in Wilmington

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com WILMINGTON— In the aftermath of two storms that hit the North Country this year, a historic natural attraction was cut off from public view for the first time since World War II. With the hard work and determination of High Falls Gorge owner Kathryn Reiss, the 35-foot path along the West Branch of the Ausable River was reopened in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 1.

“If it wasn’t for the hard work of everyone involved, this day wouldn’t have been possible,” Reiss said. “I am so thankful that the community has come together to show us how much they love this place.”

High Falls Gorge was first damaged by flooding to the region in April. Reiss said that they had worked hard to rebuild, only to have floodwaters in August from Tropical Storm Irene exceed the previous flood by 7 feet.

“The damnity. ages have The dambeen excesages to the sive,” Reiss Gorge have said.

like we do,” Reiss said.

Though the opening of the new walkway is a monumental victory for the Gorge, there is much left to do. Reiss estimates there is still about $120,000 in repairs needing to be completed.

“Right now we have temporary supports holding the main bridge to the footpath,” Reiss said. “Our main lodge is in need of serious work in the basement walls and bathrooms. We are used to helping out the community any way we can offering our lodge for school dances and fundraisers. This is the first time we are the ones who need the help.”

ESSEX — With fall foliage season comes a new opportunity to explore the picturesque landscape of the Adirondack foothills and get introduced to a talented group of artists living and working in the Boquet Valley.

Studios and galleries will be opened to the public to get a behind the scenes look at the artists’ working environment, materials and processes, and to meet the artist. The dates will be Friday through Sunday, Oct. 7-9. from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Not all studios are open every day, so please check map schedule online (www.boquetstudiotour.com).

Participating artists include: Ellen Few Anderson (painting), Edward Cornell (painting, sculpture and drawing), Helen Goetz (glass), Meredith Johnston (pottery), Kevin Raines (painting) and Alison Weld (painting).

The Boquet Valley Studio Tour is made possible, in part, with a Developing Community Arts Grant with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization program, administered locally by the Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks.

Studios are located in Elizabethtown, Essex, Westport and Willsboro.

For more information, go to www.boquetstudiotour.com.

“I will be the first one to donate to a class,” Jackson said.

“But as far as the school assuming the risk associated with a class trip, the constituents I talked to have said that they don’t want to assume the risk.”

Board member Scott Sayward said that, even though the senior trip has been a tradition at the school, he was not in favor of reversing the 2008 decision.

“There are so many risks involved when taking a large group of students away for a week,” Sayward said. “I know it hasn’t happened yet, but I cannot see where it benefits the taxpayers to have a lawsuit if something were to ever happen.”

Parents also said that the senior trip serves as a bonding opportunity for members of the class and gives them the chance to be together for a week as a class instead of part of the school collective.

The parents also said that they felt the school was a more appropriate route for planning and overseeing a class trip.

“You guys are the pros at it,” Pierce said.

Della Garvey is celebrating her 100th Birthday on October 7th.

Much love and continued good health are sent your way.

Love from all your family and friends.

Miller named new director of AsRA ELIZABETHTOWN — Corrie Miller, a scientist and dedicated conservationist, will take over as Executive Director of the Ausable River Association (AsRA) starting Oct. 11.

Miller has a strong background in non-profit management and has most recently worked in Vermont’s Northern Green Mountains as part of the Staying Connected Initiative to find community-based solutions for wildlife habitat protection.

“We are extremely pleased that Corrie has accepted our offer to build on the incredible work of Dr.

Carol Treadwell,” said the river association’s board chair, John Lafferty. “Corrie rose to the top of a strong group of candidates. We see a near future where a growing AsRA will be increasingly central to connecting current science with the people who care about the river, together strengthening the health of the Ausable River and its communities.”

“I am particularly excited about the growth potential of the organization and being part of growing it,” Miller said. “Years ago, I fell in love with the Adirondacks when I lived and worked here.”

Miller will move to the Ausable River valley and work side by side with Treadwell, who remains on as contract staff for six months.

Arts Continued from page 1 so much unpleasantness that is going on in the world and even locally with rains and flooding, this is a chance to showcase the best of peoples talents,” Victor Forbes, co-editor of Fine Art Magazine with SunStorm Arts Publishing and organizer of the event, said.

“We want this to be like a page from the arts magazine coming to life.”

The weekend of arts will feature many different forms, including sculpture, photography, film, spoken word and song.

“There will be an art exhibition, music, poetry readings, film

October 8, 2011 screenings, photography, and a special appearance by Dr. Bill Akpinar, founder of the University of Health and Spiritual Sciences,” Forbes said.

Evening musical performances will include Ghislain Dion, sister of internationally known recording artist Celine Dion, at 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 7 ($20 admission), which will be followed by an open mic jam session and reggae dance party.

Blues/rock musicians Savoy Brown, featuring Kim Simmonds, will take to the stage Oct. 8 at 8 p.m., along with openers Roadside Mystics and Frank Latorre ($20 admission). Oct. 9 will be a tribute to John Lennon Peace Concert starring Heidi Little along with an open mic for singers and musicians to play/sing their favorite Lennon and Beatles songs for the

benefit of fund-raising groups.

“The proceeds from the Sunday concert will go to benefit flood relief efforts in the region,” Forbes said.

Among the films being shown are, “Bob Marley: The Making of a Legend,” a documentary by Esther Anderson and Gian Godoy, and “Matilijah Magic,” a documentary in the works about the rock duo Delaney and Bonnie.

On exhibit for all three days will be works by artists from Montreal, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, and the Hamptons along with a collection of banners created by Artists for Peace and the Environment originally shown at Woodstock ’99.

ELIZABETHTOWN — As part of their annual Credit Union Week celebration, the Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union (TFCU) will hold its second annual Shred Fest, Monday, Oct. 17, and Tuesday, Oct. 18.

The free paper-shredding event aims to increase public awareness of identity theft prevention. Community members are invited to bring their confidential documents to be shredded at their local TFCU office during event hours.

Documents will be shredded on site in a mobile shredding truck. The first 10 participants at each location will receive a free TFCU umbrella. Paper, folders, envelopes, paper bound by staples, paperclips and spiral binding can be shredded, however, documents bound with metal binder clips cannot.

In exchange for the free service, TFCU asks participants to please bring a non-perishable food item for donation to the local food pantries. All of the shredded paper will be recycled and the proceeds from the recycling will be donated to food pantries in Ticonderoga, Moriah and Elizabethtown.

“Identity theft can destroy your credit and your good name,” Shawn Hayes, TFCU president and CEO, said. “But through a few simple precautions, members can stand up to identity thieves and avoid becoming a victim.”

Free shredding will be offered at the Elizabethtown branch from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 18.

Award-winning Gibson brothers to perform for Holy Name benefit

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com Au SABLE FORKS — Fresh off of being named Vocal Group of the Year at the International Bluegrass Music Awards Sept. 29, the Gibson Brothers will perform at a special fundraiser Saturday, Oct. 15, with proceeds benefiting the Holy Name School in Au Sable Forks.

The concert will take place at 7 p.m. on the AuSable Valley Junior/Senior High School Auditorium, with ticket prices set at $18 in advance or $20 at the door.

“Patty Gero approached me about the idea of a benefit concert

and we took it from there,” Christine Reynolds, principal at Holy Name, said. “We rely heavily on fundraisers to keep the school running, and we wanted to do something different than we regularly do when we go out and knock door-to-door.”

Reynolds said that the idea of having a benefit concert or performer come in is something that she hopes to continue to do as an alternative fundraiser for the school.

“I think that this is something that community members will enjoy and something that we can do more in the future,” Reynolds said. “It’s a way to reach out to the

community and provide some entertainment and ask them to come out and support the school through that.”

Reynolds said that she was pleased that the Gibson Brothers would agree to perform in the show, as the duo also earned Album of the Year honors for “Help My Brother” at the IBMA Awards, which were held in Nashville.

Tickets for the show are available by calling 647-8444, or at Dick’s Country Store in Churubusco, the General Trading Company in Plattsburgh, Edenfield and Snow in Saranac Lake and Hometown Deli in Au Sable Forks.

JEMS bash to fund Jay flood relief effort

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com UPPER JAY — A night of music and fun is planned to help people who are still in need after a night of water and wind.

The Jay Entertainment and Music Society (JEMS) will be hosting a night of acoustic music and silent auction on Saturday, Oct. 15, starting at 7 p.m. at the Amos and Julia Ward Theatre in Upper Jay. Admission for the evening is $10, and Kate Zientko of JEMS said that every penny raised will go to the Town of Jay Hurricane Irene Fund.

“As soon as this event happened, the board members of JEMS were on the phone and e-mailing each other trying to figure out a way that we could help,” Zientko said. “We have been helping throughout the community, and we felt that another way that we could help was to sponsor this concert and silent auction.”

The concert will feature several local artists and mu-

sicians, including Julie Robinson-Robards and Larry Stone; Celia Evans and Daun Reuter; Drew and Annie Sprague; Martha and Dennis Gallagher; Scott Tuller; Susan Richards; Kate Donis, Wendy Block and Don Vicaro; and Eric Klotzko.

“Some of these artists have been directly affected by the flooding and hurricane and have lost property,” Zientko said. “All of the artists are donating their time for the event, and we are getting some items in for the silent auction.”

The Master of Ceremonies for the evening’s event will be Jay Town Supervisor Randall “Randy” Douglas.

The concert and auction is also sponsored by the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery and Adirondack Mountain Spirits, Inc. For more information, visit www.Jemsgroup.org, or email Kate@jemsgroup.org If you have items, services, or gift certificates that you would like to donate to the silent auction, please contact Jean Snow at jeansnow67@yahoo.com or call 946-7794.

FEMA shuts down local disaster recovery centers; support to go on Unemployment assistance deadline extended

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is closing its Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) in Essex and Warren counties and has extended its Disaster Unemployment Assistance deadline, according to FEMA Public Information Officer Peter Lembessis.

The three DRCs in the area have been giving support to victims of Tropical Storm Irene, which caused widespread flooding and damage to homes, businesses and roadways on Aug. 28.

The DRC at the Jay Community Center in Au Sable Forks will close Friday, Oct. 7. The DRC at the Lake Luzerne Town Hall, serving Warren County, shut down Tuesday, Oct. 4.

And the DRC at the Moriah firehouse closed Saturday, Oct. 2.

Although the DRCs are closing, Irene victims have until Oct. 31 to register for financial assistance. People can register by calling (800) 6213362 or going online at www.disaterassistance.gov.

As of Oct. 2, more than 34,000 people have registered for FEMA assistance in the wake of tropical storms Irene and Lee, according to Lembessis. More than $66 million in federal aid has been approved. In Clinton County, more than 370 have registered, and more than $540,000 in aid has been approved. In Essex County, more than 520 have registered, and more than $1.497 million

in aid has been approved. And in Warren County, 114 people have registered, and more than $142,000 in aid has been approved.

On Oct. 3, state and federal officials announced that the Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) application deadline has been extended to Nov. 16. This aid is for residents who are unemployed as a direct result of the flooding caused by Tropical Storm Irene, and they may now be eligible for weekly benefit payments under the DUA program.

“The DUA program extends coverage to self-employed people, farm workers and others who have lost employment as a direct result of the disaster,” said Andrew X. Feeney, state coordinating officer. “It is specifically designed to assist those who are otherwise ineligible for state unemployment benefits.”

People may be eligible to apply for DUA if: •They were injured in the disaster and are unable to work, whether they are an employee or self-employed.

•Their workplace was damaged or destroyed.

•Their transportation to work is not available.

•They cannot get to their jobs because they must travel through the affected area.

•They were about to begin working, but could not because of the disaster.

•They derived most of their income from areas affected by the hurricane and their business is down as a direct result of the disaster.

To apply for DUA, call the Telephone Claims Center at (888) 2098124.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). Since the program began in 1985, mammography rates have more than doubled for women age 50 and older and breast cancer deaths have declined. This is exciting progress, but there are still women who do not take advantage of ear ly detection at all and others who do not get screening mammograms and clinical breast exams at regular intervals.

•

Women age 65 and older are less likely to get mammograms than younger women, even though breast cancer risk increases with age.

• Women below poverty level are less likely than women at higher incomes to have had a mammogram within the past two years.

If all women age 40 and older took advantage of early detection methods –mammography plus clinical breast exam – breast cancer death rates would drop much further, up to 30 percent.

For more information about NBCAM, please visit www.nbcam.org. For additional information, please call one of the following toll-free numbers: American Cancer Society, (800) 227-2345, National Cancer Institute (NCI), (800) 4-CANCER, Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization, (800) 221-2141.

The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month program is dedicated to increasing public knowledge about the importance of early detection of breast cancer.

Elizabethtown Community Hospital to host Women’s Health Night Oct. 26

Elizabethtown Community Hospital is hosting Women’s Health Night on Wednesday, October 26 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. This free event is open to the public and includes speakers, osteoporosis screening, health-related information, body mass index assessment, and blood pressure check. The hospital’s dietician and diabetes educator will be on-hand to answer questions about portion control, proper nutrient balance and healthy eating habits for women.

Women who are eligible for a mammogram are encouraged to make an appointment to have their mammogram during the event, provided that they have a physician’s order. Clinical breast exams will also be performed by a physician assistant; it’s a great opportunity for participants to ask questions about performing the exam at home.

The night’s featured speaker, Gynecologist Lynne Macco will be offering information about new health screening recommendations. Recently, there has been confusion in regard to the recommended frequency of mammograms and annual checkups. Dr. Macco will explain the various opinions and offer her advice, so that women will have a

clear understanding of what’s best for their particular situation. She will also offer information about acupuncture as a treatment option for a number of issues including migraine, pelvic pain, incontinence, eczema, andmore.

According to Dr. Rob DeMuro, medical director at Elizabethtown Community Hospital, it’s vitally important that women are proactive when it comes to scheduling annual checkups and mammograms. It’s equally important to monitor weight gain, avoid smoking and act quickly if issues do arise. “We know that so many conditions can be avoided by monitoring a woman’s basic health status and by receiving annual screening tests such as mammograms,” he said. “If particular conditions are detected early, many times they are treatable. This event arms participants with knowledge needed to make important decisions about their well-being.”

Five-minute chair massage will be available, courtesy of LiveWell in Essex. The Cancer Screening Program of Clinton, Essex, Franklin counties will be on-hand, along with the Essex County Public Health department, to offer additional health-and-wellness information.

A Sure Shot

A

lthough autumn delivers a wide range of recreational opportunities, one of the true joys of the season is the opportunity to return to the field in the company of man’s best friend.

Whether hunting for upland game such as pheasant, woodcock or ruffed grouse in the forests and fields, or taking to the wetlands for waterfowl such as ducks of geese; time spent in the company of a four-legged companion is always special. Hunting dogs are a unique breed of animal; they live to hunt, to point and to retrieve, and they strive to please.

In fact, some anthropologists believe mankind would have never advanced beyond the stage of simple huntergatherers if not for domesticated dogs. Dogs provided the

unique services of herding, guarding and hunting, which allowed mankind to control herds of animals.

Several years ago, I had an opportunity to hunt in the company of an old friend, who owns a large farm near Cobleskill, NY. Along with a wide menagerie of animals, Richard also raises pheasants. I joined him and his thirteen year old son, for a day in the field Although I had experience with both grouse and woodcock at the time; I had spent very little time afield, hunting for pheasants. However, I reckoned that knocking down a few recently released pheasants would be rather easy, given my background with grouse and woodcock.

Pheasants offer a larger, and slower moving target than either grouse or woodcock. Conveniently, they also tend to fly off, in a straight away fashion.

It was a cool morning, as we set off with Laddie, a German Shorthair Pointer. The dog, a retired National Field Champion, was literally bouncing off the ground with excitement. And as I recall, so was I. The dog took to the hunt like a young pup, and as he

romped through the open fields and surrounding brush, the bell on his collar sounded a cheery note.

Suddenly, the bell went silent as the dog froze on point.

We approached the location, with Richard’s son in the center, flanked by both of us. On command, the dog flushed a pair of pheasants, which immediately took to the wing.

Before I could shoulder my shotgun, two shots sounded in the still morning air, and two birds fell to the ground.

The youngster had dropped both of them, before either his father or I could even get off a shot.

“Pretty good shooting”, I muttered to myself, “Maybe I’ll let the kid take a few more shots before I get serious.”

It was a good thing I kept those thoughts to myself.

For the remainder of the morning hunt, the pattern continued. The dog would fan the fields, until the bell went silent as the dog held on point, quivering with excitement.

On command, the dog would flush birds and the darned kid knocked them out of the air like clockwork. Richard and I were mere spectators and occasional cheerleaders My initial cockiness quickly diminished, and I began to wonder if I would ever manage to get a shot off. Fortunately, I had an opportunity when a bird flushed immediately in my direction, and I took it with a single shot. Unfortunately, it was only shell I used during the entire outing.

Together, we managed to harvest all but one of the released pheasants. Richard took two, which both flanked left and his kid took the others. I was humbled, darn kid.

Later, as we sat in the cabin sipping hot chocolate, I told Richard how impressed I was with his son’s shooting. “He was truly incredible out there!”, I exclaimed, “You know, he’s a fine shooter, and he’s very smooth. He’s certainly got a great future ahead of him.”

“Well Joe”, Richard revealed, “He’s been at it for quite a while. In fact he’s been a competitive shooter from an early age, and he’s been ranked on the National level since he was twelve. He won the New Jersey State Skeet Championship in 20 gauge for three years in a row, and just lost the 12 gauge title in a shoot-off, against a kid, who was three years older.”

My face grew red with embarrassment, as Richard continued, “We are hoping he will continue with the sport.

His coach claims he has the potential to make the Olympic team!”, (which he eventually did.)

It was a humbling experience, and a great lesson learned! Since that time, I’ve never doubted the skill level of young shooters, nor have I failed to appreciate the pleasure of hunting over a well trained, bird dog.

Most importantly, I’ve come to respect the opportunity provided by the specially designated Youth Pheasant Hunts, which DEC schedules annually, for the weekend prior to the regular season opener. Pheasant are the most popular game species utilized for introducing youth to the sport. They are easy to raise, provide great sport and make fine table fare.

Youth Hunts rank high among the many contributions that local Fish and Game, or Rod and Gun Clubs provide.

Prior to the opening of the regular season, there are a number of Youth Pheasant Hunts scheduled throughout the region. This year, hunts have been hosted in Putnam by the Northern Washington County Fish and Game Club, and in Willsboro, by the Willsboro Fish and Game Club.

The Willsboro event, which is one of the longest standing local Youth Hunts, attracted over twenty participants.

In this age of political correctness, there will always be concerns over firearms and youth. With this in mind, it was refreshing to find an announcement for a YOUTH PHEASANT HUNT posted on the Westport Central School Home Page, sandwiched between the Fitness Room Schedule and information on Youth Commission Biddy Soccer Program.

Tupper Lake ready to travel to Ticonderoga with ‘D’ title on the line Chiefs shutout Hornets

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE — The Ticonderoga Sentinels and Tupper Lake Lumberjacks will meet with the Class D regular season title on the line, as both teams come off convincing wins coming into their Oct. 7 meeting in Ti. The Sentinels spoiled the homecoming game of the AuSable Valley Patriots by scoring a 34-0 win Sept. 30, while the Lumberjacks scored a 36-6 victory against the threetime defending Class D champs Moriah to open the month of October.

In Clintonville, the Sentinels only threw the ball once (one other pass attempt resulted in a penalty) relying on a running game that rushed for 338 yards and a defense that tallied 12 tackles for a loss, a pair of sacks and two turnovers.

“That’s the way that we prefer to play,“ Sentinels head coach Bob Sutphen said. “We were pretty efficient in the first half and we established that early. Our outside guys did a great job on defense and we were able to keep Austin House contained.”

“They did a wonderful job swarming to our key players,” Patriots head coach Heith Ford said. “They out-physical-ed us on the line defensively, and our timing was off on the offensive side of the ball.”

The Sentinels had two long drives, one that went 10 plays in 4:13, and the second going 67 yards in 13 plays and taking 7:35 off the clock to start the second half.

Ryan Borho carried the ball 12 times for 73 yards and three touchdowns, while Jay Hebert carried the ball 10 times for 97 yards and Miles Austin took a handoff 11 times and tallied 132 yards and one score on a 58-yard scamper.

“Miles is a great downhill runner,” Sutphen said. “We had a good night from our backs, and Nate Lenhart played a smart game at quarterback.”

Lenhart had one touchdown and six yards rushing on a pair of carries.

On defense, Cody Henthorn had four tables-for loss, while Lenhart had a fumble re-

“We need to heal up,” Sutphen said about preparing for the Lumberjacks. “We are going to be excited to get to practice Monday and get ready for Tupper Lake.”

For the Patriots, House was 7-of-16 passing for 32 yards and one interception, while running the ball 12 times for 19 yards. Connor Kennedy ran the ball eight times for 40 yards, as the Patriots had 100 yards total offense as they head into a Oct. 7 game at the Vikings.

“We are going to go back to basics this week,” Ford said. “Any time you play Moriah, no matter their record, you have to respect them, especially when you have to travel to Linney Field. That field has magic in it, and it usually does not go for the visitors.”

As for the Vikings and the Lumberjacks, Tupper Lake scored in each quarter and shutout Moriah 16-0 in the second half to secure the win Oct. 1.

Tim Ropas had a huge game for the Lumberjacks, scoring three times on the ground and once receiving while rushing for 177 yards on 15 carries. Jordan Garrow had 49 yards of total offense and one receiving touchdown, while Morgan Stevens threw for 53 yards and the two passes for scores.

Jim Curran led the Vikings with 72 yards and the lone score of the game, the first scored by Moriah in Northern Conference play (the Vikings scored twice in non-league play against Utica-Notre Dame).

Five different members of the Indians roster scored touchdowns, as quarterback Taylor Rock rushed for one from one-yard out while connecting with Tyler Murphy for a 11-yard scoring play.

The Indians opened their scoring with a safety for an early 2-0 lead, then extended the lead when Jeff Kurz scored from 40-yards out for an 8-0 lead.

The Rock run extended the lead to 16-0 in the second quarter, and Mike Remillard then returned an interception 25 yards for a scored before the Rock-to-Murphy scoring toss to cap the first half scoring.

Rock finished with 11 passing yards and the one-yard scoring rush, while Alex Cederstrom had 76 yards rushing and 40 yards receiving.

Blue Bombers rally falls short against Warriors; Lions earn wins

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — In a week that started with a 9-0 loss against the out-for-vengeance after their first league loss Chazy Eagles, the Lake Placid Blue Bombers found themselves on the short end of what appeared to be another trouncing Sept. 28.

Clay Sherman scored in the 50th minute to give the Willsboro Warriors a 5-1 lead against the Blue Bombers, which appeared to all but seal the game as an easy win for the top team in Division II. The Bombers, however, fought back scoring three goals in an 11-minute span before falling, 5-4.

“We were playing good and getting opportunities,” Bombers head coach Jon Fremante said. “I told the kids at halftime that we just had to go out and play our game of soccer.”

Sherman scored all five goals for the Warriors, hitting the back of the net in the fourth (Jeff Bigelow), 12th (Bigelow), 15th (Brandon Bertrand), 31st and 50th (Bigelow) minutes.

Haile Thompson scored the lone goal for the Blue Bombers in the first half in the 39th minute to cut the lead at that time to 4-1 off an assist by Andrew Meister.

In the second half, Thompson scored on a crossing play from Justin Stosiek in the 51st minute to cut the lead to 5-2. Hunter Wilson then scored on a breakaway attempt and assist from Meister, while Eddie Kane took a direct kick from the foot of Kyle Shipman and found the back of the net in the 62nd minute to bring the Bombers within one at 54.

The Bombers were able to get some shots at distance onto the Willsboro goal in the final 20 minutes, but were unable to score the equalizer.

“They have a great defense, and we knew that we had to move the ball well and get off clean passes in order to beat the defense and get scoring chances,” Fremante said. “On the fourth goal, Shipman put the ball right where I told him to. It was a great play.”

Cody Sayward had six saves in the net for the Warriors, while Morrison had 10 saves for the Bombers.

“There are still a couple areas that we need to strengthen as we get into the second half of the season,” Fremante said. “We need to work on our defense a little more. There are still areas for improvement.”

Lake Placid’s Eddie Kane looks to start a break up the field as teammates Haile Thompson and Hunter Wilson advance.

Chiefs shutout Patriots

The Saranac Chiefs scored a goal in each half as they defeated the AuSable Valley Patriots 2-0 Sept. 28.

Kolby Keysor opened the scoring with 18 seconds remaining in the 40th minute on an assist from Michael Conway on a corner kick to give the Chiefs a 1-0 lead. Keysor then scored in the 48th minute on a Kyle Erickson cross.

Nick Rhino made 10 saves for the Patriots, which was matched by 10 saves from Chiefs goalie Bill Badger.

Indians down Red Storm

Ian Spear netted a hat trick and the Peru Indians netted two goals in each half for a 41 win against the Saranac Lake Red Storm Sept. 28.

Spear scored his first on a run through the middle of the Red Storm defense in the 32nd minute. Spear had another chance in the 40th minute to beat the defense, and was tripped, leading to a direct kick that he put into the net for a 2-0 halftime lead.

In the 46th minute, Spear again scored, unassisted, while Jacob Dick scored 25 seconds later to give the Indians a 4-0 lead.

Tyler Rondeau scored the lone goal for the Red Storm in the 78th minute off an assist from Brad Pareira.

Chazy dominates Westport

The Chazy Eagles scored early and often in an 11-0 route of the Westport Eagles Sept.
