ELIZABETHTOWN — A former principal is returning to the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School District to serve as both principal and superintendent.

Scott Osborne, who worked as the principal at ELCS from

2007 to 2009, was offered the chance to return to the school last week, with an official offer expected to come out of the board’s Oct. 11 regular meeting and a starting date of Dec. 1.

“I’m thrilled,” Osborne, 37, said. “The most exciting part was to return to a school system where I had previously

Osborne said that he has two main goals when he enters his new office Dec. 1.

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union (TFCU) wishes to thank ALL the community members who supported their third annual school supply drive. Without their support, it could not be the successful event that it has become.

“We’re happy to be able to provide supplies to our area schools again this year, thanks to the generosity of our credit union members,” said Shawn Hayes, President and CEO of Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union. “We are amazed by the generosity of our local people and businesses,” he continued.

Hundreds of supplies and several monetary donations including Wal-Mart gift cards were donated throughout the month of August.

The supplies were collected at the Credit Union’s three branches and two off-site ATM locations (International Paper Ticonderoga Mill and the Schroon Lake Grand Union Market). Donations have been turned over to area schools for distribution to students.

On Sunday Aug. 12, an Eagle Scout Ceremony was held for Tyler R. Poitras. Tyler is from Boy Scout Troop 24 of Wilton. The ceremony was held at the St. Therese Chapel in Gansevoort. During the ceremony, Thomas Klotz, Exalted Ruler of Saratoga-Wilton Elks Lodge #161, presented Poitras with a framed National Elks Eagle Scout Certificate with an American Flag. For his Eagle Scout project, Poitras was awarded for building three raised organic gardens bed for the Dorothy Nolan Elementary School. Each was 4 by 12 ft. in size and each had a drip irrigation system with to make watering the gardens easier for the school. Students used the gardens to grow their own vegetables which they ate during their lunch time.

Poitras schooled the students all about how to grow a garden and the benefits of having one. The project took approximately 1 year and he had assistance from fellow schouts, friends, parents, and from Applebees, Allerdice, Lowe’s and Olde Saratoga Home and Garden. Poitras is the grandson of Harry and Cecile Denton of New Russia and George Poitras Sr. of Stillwater.

Lewis residents seek to create town library

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com LEWIS — A special meeting will be held Wednesday, Oct. 24, to talk about the potential creation of a library in the town of Lewis.

“We went through the comprehensive plan committee meetings and the idea of a library in town was one of the main topics that came up,” Kathy Linker said. “We decided to put a meeting together to further the discussion on what we need to do.”

Linker said that previously, the town

was using the services provided by the Clinton-Franklin-Essex County Library System’s Bookmobile for library needs.

However, when that program was ended by the organization, it left a void for library services within the town.

“Once we no longer had the Bookmobile, people started to talk about how nice it would be to have our own library to go to,” Linker said. “We want to now start kicking that process off.”

Linker said that ideas so far have ranged from using bookshelves at the town hall to finding a building that would loan space for the facility.

“We are hoping to find some space,” Linker said. “There is a long process that we will have to go through that we are just beginning, but space is one of the key issues.”

The Oct. 24 meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the Lewis Congregational Church Parish Hall. There will be refreshments served.

“We are just looking for people to come with their ideas and make this into a brainstorming session,” Linker said.

For more information, call 873-6493 or 873-6593.

Minerva supervisor enjoyed time at convention keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The small-town supervisor of Minerva made her way to the big-time stage of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. last week, at one point being on the bigtime stage.

“On Wednesday (Sept. 5), I was seated on the podium over the left shoulder of the speakers, so I was right next to President (Bill) Clinton when he gave his speech,” Corey said. “You could see the teleprompter, which camera

was on the speaker, everything.”

Corey, who chairs the Essex County Democratic Party, said the chance to go to the national party convention was “fabulous” and “amazing.”

“I thought that the remarks by many of the people were outstanding,” she said. “I couldn’t believe how you would have these great speakers coming up, one right after another.”

Corey said that she had no expectations as this was the first convention she had attended and that her only issue was with the busing system.

Corey said that in four years, she would love to make another trip to support a new Democratic candidate for president of the United States (if Obama is re-elected, he will reach the POTUS twoterm limit. If not, then they will also need a new candidate).

“I would be happy to go again,” Corey said. “It was an extraordinary experience.”

KEESEVILLE — The Keeseville dissolution study committee is almost finished.

About eight months ago, a study committee to determine the economic effects of dissolving the Village of Keeseville into neighboring towns Chesterfield and Au Sable Forks was formed.

Tim Weidemann, founder of Rondout Consulting, has been involved in all aspects of the dissolution study, including conducting a fiscal analysis of dissolution options.

Weidemann led a dissolution study committee discussion on Sept. 25, which was open to the public and took place at the village hall in Keeseville.

Weidemann announced that study committee members have voiced concerns that some of the savings dissolution could bring to village residents were previously overstated.

The result, he said, was an amended plan that shows that not all village residents will see savings if dissolution occurs.

To handle the village’s water and sewer needs, the towns would have to create water and sewer districts, something Weidmann recommended establishing before dissolution goes to a vote.

Garbage pickup in the former village would also need to be figured out.

According to the updated report, the change in water, sewer and garbage services could result in an increase by as much as $190 per year for village residents.

Some village residents also might see an increase in combined property taxes.

The study also shows that, after dissolution, tax rates could decrease for residents in Chesterfield and Au Sable Forks.

In the wake of dissolution, about 13 village positions would also be eliminated, including: village mayor, deputy mayor, three village trustees and deputy clerk.

Eight new positions would in turn be created: sewer operator, sewer clerk, sewer laborer and seasonal laborer in Au Sable Forks and water operator, water clerk, water laborer and highway equipment operator in Chesterfield.

All retirement contracts with current village employees would be terminated, but village specific post-employee benefits like health care would continue to be provided to employees who retire prior to dissolution.

Employees transferred to one of the towns would assume the benefits provided by that town.

And then there is the price of dissolution itself.

Weidemann estimated that dissolution would cost village residents between $20,000 and $25,0000 , which includes both legal and accounting fees, appraisals, and costs related to the termination of former employees.

To cover the cost, the village could seek a grant from the New York State department of state’s local government efficiency grant program.

Keeseville Mayor Dale Holderman also announced that a petition, initiated and signed by registered voters in the village, was turned in to the village’s town clerk Sept. 25.

The petition contained 122 signatures, 119 of which were verified as registered voters. The amount of signatures is more than the 10 percent of registered voter signatures required to force the issue of dissolution to a village-wide vote.

“The board of trustees was very pleased the petition came in because now the weight is off their shoulders, and that’s the way I wanted it to go anyway,” Holderman said.

Holderman has spoken out against dissolution, and even went as far as to include a letter to that effect with the village’s September water bill.

The final public dissolution meeting will be held Oct. 17, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Keeseville Firehouse.

Familiarity

Osborne Continued from page 1 “The first will be to re-establish the relationships that I have here in the community and the second will be to start ramping up for budget development.”

Osborne will be leaving the Peru Central School District, where he is currently the principal at the Primary School.

“Peru Central has really been most responsible for the launch of my educational career,” Osborne said. “They took a chance on me as a very young teacher in 1998. It is a professional organization that allows you to grow and advance. We were able to work collaboratively with the community and make a large school system feel like a small place.”

Osborne said he also had the support of his favorite Peru teacher.

“My wife, Jodie, teaches in the district, and I am grateful for her support and the support of my family as I move into this new role,” he said. “I will still be involved with the school, and next year I become a Peru parent with a kindergartener.”

DPW Continued from page 1 “They are refusing to approve it because the language did not state that it is a local law,” Hatch said.

In responding to the matter, the Board of Elections in a letter to the town said that the ballot question could not be on the election ballot because “the paperwork was not submitted in its proper form.

“The County Attorney has further advised us of that

Murder

Osborne said that his biggest asset coming into the position of superintendent/principal will be the fact that he has been in the school district before.

“There is a lot of familiarity with how the school operates and the community values,” he said. “I am pleased to be back in a position to engage with this student body and staff and excited for the chance to now be in a position where I will be engaged with the school board.”

Osborne said he was impressed with the school board during the interview process.

“This board has a positive presence and a very strong vision for the future,” he said.

“One of the things I recognized early in the process was the focus of the board on a positive school environment and opening doors to the community.”

During the interview process, Osborne also got to catch up with some of the students.

“While we were doing the building tour, the varsity boys soccer team was coming off the practice field and I was able to catch up with them,” Osborne

said. “It was really good to see them after a couple of years and I think they were surprised at how many names I remembered.”

Osborne said that he hopes to keep solid community relationships and get re-acquainted with the community through meetings and social gatherings, including one that he plans to hold after he starts in his new position.

“I want to hold a meet the superintendent night in either December or January so I can get a chance to catch up with the parents I know and get to know those who are new to the school system,” he said. “I want to keep the community involved and meet with town Supervisor Margaret Bartley and the agencies that the school works with.”

Osborne said that the transition process will be made easier through his relationship with interim superintendent A. Paul Scott, who he worked with at Peru.

“That is going to be a seemless transition,” Osborne said.

“It has been a very good partnership as we have worked together for roughly 11 years. He has done very fine work during this transition and I am pleased that he is part of it.”

fact and, with Certification required by law on Oct. 2, there was no further time in which to correct the deficiencies.”

The question, titled “Change the Highway Superintendent to Appointed Office,” was worded as follows: “Shall there be approved in the Town Of Willsboro the change in the office of Town Highway Superintendent's from Elective Office to Appointed Office. The Town

Board would appoint the Highway Superintendent effective Jan. 1, 2014, In accordance to New York State Public Official Law, Town Law and Highway Law.” Hatch said that he is seeking a legal opinion for the town on the matter.

“I am questioning the decision and asking for legal opinion,” Hatch said. “The resolution did not state that it was a local law but it did comply with all of the rules, stated that is was mandatory

vote by the voters and would comply with all the laws of the state.”

Hatch said that if the matter was not going to be allowed to be on the ballot next month, he did not know when or if there would be a special election in the future.

Continued from page 1 State Police Capt. Robert LaFountain said that the weapons were steel-toed and regular boots which were used to kick the victim.

“The victim was severly beaten and kicked with steeltoed boots, regular boots and sneakers,” LaFountain said.

“They are deemed as weapons because of the manner in which they were used,” District Attorney Kristy Sprague added.

Taylor had been in jail since Aug. 29, charged with first-degree rape in Keeseville. In March of 1997, Taylor was convicted of second-degree manslaughter in the death of Marcus Chadwick. According to the case, Taylor had placed a tree on Chadwick and left him on a Moriah trail to die.

Taylor had been released from prison and paroled in 2010.

When asked about Taylor’s criminal record, LaFountain responded, “I think it speaks for itself.”

Rivers also has a criminal past, having been convicted on third-degree burglary charges in 1996 and sentenced to serve time and probation.

LaFountain said that

through the investigation, police believe that Taylor and Rennie knew each other and that Rennie was the target of violence.

“We believe that the defendants sought out Mr. Rennie and attacked him on the street above where his body was found,” LaFountain said.

LaFountain said that he would not go into more details about the motive or attack, other than to say that the death was ruled a homicide and manner of death ruled as severe internal injuries.

“There was not one piece of evidence that got us here,” LaFountain said. “There were numerous interviews and pieces of evidence which led us to quickly identify these men as potential suspects.

“We thank the DA for her assistance and the community in

Keeseville that provided pertinent information and leads,” LaFountain added. “The investigators were working this case continuously and it shows their extreme dedication to the case because there is no time period on a homicide.”

All three suspects were remanded to the care of the Essex County Sheriff’s Department by Elizabethtown Justice William Garrison. Taylor was remanded without the possibility of parole, while Rivers and Denno were remanded on $250,000 cash bail or $500,000 bond. Rivers and Denno were also placed under an order of protection to keep away from Rivers’ residence, where both were staying, and Rivers’ wife.

Sprague said that she planned to send the case to a Grand Jury.

Jobs lives on through the innovations he leaves behind

T

hursday Oct. 5, when computers were fired up around the globe, many thousands of them began showing a slide show of black-and-white images of Apple Computer founder, the late Steve Jobs.

This compelling memorial presentation — depicting highlights of his career on the oneyear anniversary of his untimely death — transfixed many, including employees at Denton Publications.

Jobs has indeed exerted a remarkable influence in all of our lives. His innovations have granted us all incredible power, a connectedness and access that we couldn’t have imagined just decades ago.

Plenty has been said about how he made music personal — and transformed the music industry — with the iPod, or how he launched a new era of creativity in film and television animation through his work at Pixar.

But his crowning achievement was perhaps the iPhone — a truly revolutionary device.

Combining a cell phone with an Internet communicator — and the ability for this remarkable, device to run apps — has changed the world forever.

Whether it’s the ability to use a handheld device to conduct instant financial transactions on-the-go, shooting and editing videos, or remotely controlling your home’s environment, it can all be done now, on-the-go, from anywhere on the globe on a handheld device.

Its potential uses are virtually unlimited.

Many of us at Denton’s depend on the device so we can best accomplish our daily work in a demanding industry.

Steve Jobs was the visionary that made it all happen — It has been said that Jobs knew what we all wanted and needed before we could even imagine it.

But all the recent attention on this latest device shouldn’t overshadow Jobs’ work in the late 1970s and early 1980s that was no less revolutionary — merging graphics with digital information.

Before Jobs’ innovations in this regard, computers only displayed little 1/8-inch-high numbers and letters on monochrome monitors.

Jobs’ commitment to personal computers’ graphical interface, mouse and WYSIWYG, or “What You See Is What You Get,” changed all our lives forever. Many of you can surely remember the early Internet, when only numbers and letters were transmitted from computer to a remote machine.

These developments changed dissemina-

tion of news forever, and those of us in the newspaper industry are acutely aware of Jobs’ influence.

Before Jobs and Apple computer, typesetting was accomplished by phototypesetters, hulking machines that cost $50,000 to $125,000 and suffered frequent breakdowns — requiring repairs that were likely to cost more than the purchase-price of a high-end desktop computer.

Reporters used typewriters to compose their articles, often typing them up several times in their entirety for a final draft.

When Denton Publications armed their employees with Apple computers — we were “early adopters” — our reporters and editors gained speed and creativity, as well as pursuing higher standards in our work. Those costly and unreliable phototypesetters were scrapped.

The Apple computers gave us remarkable capability to readily compete with the corporate giants in getting vital news out to the public on a timely basis.

Jobs’ innovation of a graphical interface, combined with the Internet a decade or so later, prompted a seismic shift in publishing, as people began obtaining news faster and more conveniently via the Internet.

A new generation has increasingly adopted this digital conduit as more convenient and satisfying.

We at Denton Publications embraced this trend early on — about a decade ago — delivering community news on an array of websites, when many other newspapers were depending solely on newsprint. Since then, we have continued our commitment to digital news delivery by continually enhancing our online offerings.

Also, we have the most advanced digital pre-press composition equipment that can deliver the highest-fidelity printed products — also an indirect result of Jobs’ remarkable vision.

We at Denton Publications are thankful for Steve Jobs’ incredible talent and imagination.

Although he has passed on, his remarkable contributions to society — which are bringing us all closer together — live on through the innovations he left behind.

The U.S. debt remains our darkest cloud

I

n the next month as the election nears we’ll continue to hear a great deal about the U.S. debt now over $16 trillion and climbing.

While the nation faces many issues nothing is more serious to our long term stability as a sovereign nation than the massive debt we’ve accumulated over the past decade.

You may have heard some of these analogies before but getting a true understanding of the sheer size and scope of this debt will, I hope, cause us each to recognize why this issue must be addressed and why we absolutely must begin reversing the spending habits of this nation. If you spent one million dollars a day since the day Jesus was born, 2,012 years ago you would not have spent one trillion dollars but, instead, only about $750 billion dollars. If that’s not personal enough for you, consider this, based on the current U.S. population, every U.S. citizen — man, woman and child — now owes just under $50,000 each to pay for the debt we’ve racked up over the past few years.

In 2011 the World Bank estimated that the Gross World Product, that is the value of the products world-wide would be valued at approximately $80.7 trillion dollars. In the United States the Gross National Product is valued at approximately $15.2 trillion dollars. Our debt now exceeds the total one year production of the entire country. The U.S. government is the world’s biggest client, spending more money — our money — than any other entity in the world.

The U.S. government spends one million dollars every eight second and currently borrows approximately 40 perceny of the money it spends.

In the last year alone our debt rose by $1.2 trillion. In comparison the world’s tenth largest economy is our neighbor to the north, Canada.

Their economy is $1.7 trillion. Our neighbor to the south, Mexico, the fourteenth largest economy, is just slightly smaller then our 2011 debt. In fact our debt has now grown so large that there isn’t enough cash in the world to cover the debt so the federal government has become the major purchaser of the debt financing it by printing more than $1.6 trillion.

I don’t know about you but those numbers should be scaring the day lights out of us all. But perhaps we’ve all just become so accustomed to borrowing money that as long as the country can continue to borrow we assume that there must not be a problem. Oh sure we hear about the debt and the reduction in the credit rating but does it really hit home or as they say is ignorance bliss. As citizens of this country we are all co-signers and ultimately guarantors of this debt that’s been accumulating by Republicans and Democrats alike — we all own a piece of this.

Like any household the more money you owe the more expensive it becomes to borrow money.

At some point regardless of how much interest you are willing to pay, lenders won’t put more of their money at risk knowing you are so far in

the hole they’ll never see their money again. When you are spending 40 percent more money than you bring home, how long do you think it will take beDan Alexander fore someone comes Thoughts from Behind the Pressline knocking on the door?

The biggest difference between personal finance and the U.S. government is the government’s ability to print more cash. As long as our lenders, the other countries around the world, continue to turn a blind eye to this practice we can get away with it, but just as the government looks unfavorably on counterfeiters, so do the other nations of the world. Like any large debtor once it becomes apparent we have no intent or ability to change our spending ways, and pay off this debt our dollar will be rendered as having no value and other assets will be claimed in place of the cash to cover the debt.

The candidates will both talk about their plans to reduce spending and tackle the debt.

Until the American public is willing to step up and demand that debt reduction is priority number one, our national leaders will value election and reelection, more than being the disciplined leaders who tell us the hard, cold facts we would rather not hear nor deal with. Think about your newborn child or grandchild who perhaps was just born owing $50,000, upon birth because we lacked the resolve to address this growing debt.

Democrats want to increase taxes to the rich.

Republicans want to see the economy improved so more people can help carry the tax load. We must be willing to face the truth. It will take every man, woman and child to step up and accept their share of this debt. Rich, middle income or poor, we must all accept responsibility.

There can be no more passing the buck, the blame or failure to accept these facts. If we fail to recognize this crisis, the interest on the debt alone, estimated at over $400 billion annually, will outpace our efforts to reduce the principle debt.

So as you watch and listen to the upcoming debates and the candidates talk about their plans to be fiscally responsible by cutting costs and reducing the debt with plans in the billions spread out over many years so as to sound good today but placing the true impact long after they have left office, be mindful. I hope you can put your arms around the magnitude of our debt and how those plans may pale in comparison to the true crisis we face and the tremendous burden we are placing on future generations.

Further response

Questions candidate

Helping children get along

To the Valley News: The E’town Planning Board felt the need to “ correct the misinformation “ contained in a recent Letter to the Editor of mine. I challenge their “facts.”

First, they again refer to their task as “ updating the 37 year-old Comprehensive Plan.”

There is no existing Comp. Plan. It was rejected 37 years ago, by the Zoning Board and the Town Board as being too restrictive for property owners.

Second, they deny that their “plan is to impose town wide zoning.” This is technically true, because the Planning Board can’t “ impose “ more zoning, nor can the Town Board.

A public referendum vote would be required, so the statement is irrelevant.

The Comp. Plan Team is more than just the Planning Board. Others are on the non-appointed Team; such as the Chairman of the ZBA; such as a Director for the Adirondack Council; and such as the Supervisor ’s husband, Harry Otis Gough. If a Comp. Plan is approved, the Team, or anyone for that matter, could pressure the Town Board to put new zoning changes on a ballot. Perhaps a new Team will create themselves, as happened with the existing Team. New regulatory oversight and enforcement procedures could also be a part of it, enabling the Planning Board to enforce current A.P.A rules and more. Read Hamlets 3 or Smart Growth documents if you wish to be enlightened about the real goals.

Third, a Planning Board plus a few volunteers makes the “ Team “ a Citizens Committee, which requires a Town Board appointment, which has been continuously rejected by them. All this legal stuff is such a nuisance, but I know they understand it since Supervisor Bartley used the law to keep a sitting Councilman off the Team back in February. That was me.

I absolutely believe that they are working hard and are “totally committed.” The question remains, “totally committed“ to what? My objective is to let the voters understand that the content of this Plan is important to them. Remember, the Town Board can reject or alter the Plan, so your input and the structure of the Town Board will be important. The upcoming election will help shape the Board that decides the issue.

Ken Fenimore, Elizabethtown

To the Valley News: Mike McGinn for town council I feel would be a step backward for Elizabethtown. During the past few years having attended or watched most of our town board meetings, I have observed Mike McGinn to be nothing more than a yes man for the former supervisor, Noel Merrihew. Mike brought very little to the table and seldom spoke independently about issues. However, I do remember at one board meeting how he spoke out about a music festival that was held at the Otis Mountain Ski area for the benefit of the Elizabethtown Fire Dept. and the council of the arts. He complained that the noise from the festival site, which was about a half a mile from his home, kept him awake.

He evidently had little tolerance for members of the fire department.

Who can forget how Mike McGinn, as a union representative, alienated many in this area just a short time ago. This is certainly not the individual I want as a member of the town board.

Malcolm Martin, Elizabethtown

hildhood is a time for exploring and learning about the world including the people that inhabit that world.

Friends become very important to children and help to enrich a child’s life in many ways.

Childhood research suggests that children have a friend or friends are less depressed or anxious than children who do not. Further, the research suggests that siblings cannot fill in or take the place of friendships.

Through friendships, children can learn how they like to be

By Scot Hurlburt treated and how they should treat others.

Like most learned behaviors, much of what children will learn will be modeled by the adults around them. If children inhabit an environment where social competencies like generosity, cooperation and empathy are being regularly modeled by adults, there will be a strong liklihood that children will learn these desirable, prosocial behaviors.

When children are very young adults may have to look for opportunities to reinforce prosocial behaviors when children act kindly toward another child or adult. Given the opportunity, children will learn to cooperate and to share with other children. These behaviors, once mastered with a friend, or several friends can be shared with the larger group. Children raised in this way experience how good it feels to be nice to others.

These children are also learning important lessons about taking care of others and themselves. In the process, children learn that words can and do hurt and name calling and teasing can make someone miserable.

While playing competitive games with children can teach them many important lessons, it is a model based on someone winning and someone losing. It can be helpful to teach children how to play cooperative games where the entire group or several small groups work toward a common goal.

In this model, the group wins together. This model also offers an opportunity to discuss different levels of success or winning. For example is winning at all cost worth hurting or losing friends while achieving a personal triumph? As children get older, competition can be more reasonably experienced by the child and better managed.

As teachers, coaches and other professionals that regularly work with children will tell you, a child’s home life can have a dramatic influence on how the child behaves out in the world. One researcher described the influence of home in this way, connected children feel more secure and less angry than peers who are unconnected. The unconnected child functions from an interior conversation that is angry, fearful and often selfish.

I was running an adventure group and part of the first day was to step into the circle and say something about yourself. A young girl stepped into the circle and said, “Everyone is afraid of me and I like it that way.” I was taken aback by her revelation but quickly realized that she was being honest as the rest of the group avoided her. This amazing little girl had no insight into her own behavior and she suffered profound social isolation as a result.

If a child is raised in a home where there is plentiful anger the child may incorporate being angry as just how life is or the child may become angry because their general wellbeing is being threatened by the frequent presence of anger.

Frequently, children that live with angry caretakers will become withdrawn. They in essence, put on an angry face to protect themselves from what might be more angry people or actions. It isn’t difficult to see that a child would take these maladaptive steps in order to protect themselves and are often unable to understand that the behaviors that they have adopted make them even more vulnerable. Sadly, these children get sent many powerful negative messages from children and adults. Some responses are spoken and some are not. The angry child may be told to “stay away” or “you cannot play with us.”

The unspoken rejections may be registered as not being invited to birthday parties or being asked to stay overnight at a classmates house. These experiences are heartbreaking and serve to reinforce the angry or disconnected child’s fears of mistreatment and/or rejection. Caretakers and other adults can help the disconnected or angry child by catching them being nice or doing something for someone else. These children are not bad or broken but rather they have made adaptions to their life situation that does not serve them well at all.

There are many famous and not so examples of children who grew up in challenging circumstances and went on to be happy and productive adults. In many instances, these courageous children sought support outside their own home. As an adult you have a chance to help to change a child’s life just by being kind, patient and compassionate. For some children, you may be the only person that will give these gifts.

Remember, all kids count.

Endorses Hatch To the Valley News: I am pleased and delighted to see that Evelyn Hatch is running for the recently vacated Town Council seat. Evelyn was one of the first people my wife Gail and I met upon settling in E’town seven years ago. She was friendly, welcoming, and eager to extoll the virtues of life in Elizabethtown. Over the years it has become clearly evident that Evelyn is very serious about her concern and devotion to our town, and I have observed first hand her untiring efforts to enhance it’s present day stability, and future advancement. Evelyn has spent countless hours as an active member and treasure for the Elizabethtown Chamber of Commerce, as well as a valuable member of the towns Comprehensive Plan Committee. Be it handing out cold water at the E’town day parade, or asking the tough questions at town meetings, I firmly believe that Mrs. Hatch is eminently qualified to sit on the town board, and I enthusiasticcally endorse her candidacy.

Ronald J. Testa, R.A. Elizabethtown

Rich and fat

S

o, one of these things you want to be, and the other you don’t. As for me, I am the opposite of that equation.

Through this whole debacle that has been the 2012 Presidential election, there has been one question that has been nagging at me: when did it become wrong to be rich? All you hear is how Mitt Romney or this candidate or that candidate is “rich” and therefore cannot relate to the little man.

First of all, guess what - they’re all rich.

Every candidate that you see running for federal office is rich. President Obama is a rich man. He has made a lot of money in his life.

Does he have as much as Romney, no, but it’s kind of like my philosophy on the weather when I was serving my mission in Sacramento — once it gets over 100 degrees,, it doesn’t matter what the last two digits are on the thermometer, it’s just plain hot.

Similarly, once you have two commas in your bank account, it does not matter what the numbers are on the left side of that second comma, that is a ridiculous amount of money.

Second, being rich means that you have been successful at whatever you have decided to pursue in your life, a good quality in a presidential candidate. It may also mean that you have been smart with your money and

Applaud, not scold To the Valley News: I do not always agree with the DEC. This time, however, instead of scolding, these outraged people should be applauding the compassion of these men.

They tried to do all in their power to aid and help “the Ausable Moose.” The animal had come to roost on a tiny bit of high ground. It was not a place this magnificent animal would have chosen, if he was well or unharmed. Why? He could not move to the water, where he could browse on the water plants and drink his fill. Why? He was too ill, or lame to do so. Some motorist had hit him, no doubt or caused him to bolt and hurt himself, or he was chased by someone on an off-road vehicle or shot at, or had the wasting disease that melts an animal’s life away. There was a reason this animal did not stand and charge folks, but instead turned his back so all those curious people would not see his tears as he faced his demise. Calmly and quietly as animals do, when death is near. That he stood in one place, for all those days, should be enough to say how very infirm he really was.

No, this time I feel the DEC came to a wise and human solution, one not made lightly, for to destroy any animal, is not what one wishes to do. I am also sure the person who pulled that trigger will carry that event in his heart for a long time. It was a deed done out of kindness, not malice.

A few weeks ago, my grandchildren spied a tightly tapped box beside the road.

It was one of those over 90 degree day. How long it had been there in the bright sun?

With curiosity of children, they stopped and looked inside. There was a tiny beautiful puppy who had cried so much he could not make a sound. It was so hot he was nearly cooked. Now you tell me how any person could do that to a baby? Any baby, human or animal. And it is done all the time.

The animal shelter was only up the road.

Now at least this puppy has a home.

I have wept many tears over the beautiful moose, whose life was cut short, not by the DEC but by his own facing of death and his bravery. I also cry for a puppy that some very selfish and cruel person felt did not deserve to live.

We all need to look carefully at all the creatures around us and do our utmost to grant a safe and loving environment to live.

We need to care and truly understand that there are times we need to out of love, not anger.

Patty Francisco, Tupper Lake

Right, however...

To the Valley News: Jerry Rambach (Saturday, Sept. 22) is right that East Germany’s system did not work, but today’s united Germany is a successful welfare state whose citizens are in no hurry to imitate the U.S.A., let alone the Tea Party’s war against all.

Charles W McCutchen, Lake Placid

know how to budget, another good quality to have as a chief administrator.

Being rich has gone from being celebrated to being reviled. Why? I still want to be rich.

Hopefully, I still have time to try and achieve that goal. I don’t need

by Keith Lobdell to be five houses in five countries, 50 cars and a fleet of private jets rich, I’d take just one single, straight number past the second comma rich. Heck, I’d take more than one number past the first comma rich, for that matter.

Now, onto the second half of the title. Last week, a big deal was made about a reporter who went on television to defend her weight because a man had written in to her station to say she needed to drop a few pounds.

The reporter, Jennifer Livingston of WKBTTV in LaCrosse, Wisc., said that the letter was bullying her. Not the case. Unless she has other examples of this man, Kenneth Krause, being abusive toward her about her weight, then this was not bullying, which is a repeated action.

What this is was someone being (while crude) critical of another. Livingston discredited his remarks as bullying, but credited those who flocked to her side as “inspiring.”

The Tank

Likes editorial To the Valley News: Thank you for the editorial “APA: Use common sense to classify Boreas Ponds”. As the stonemason who built the fireplace in the Main Lodge I too, favor retention of the building and infrastructure. This was a well maintained working forest with a network of roads that could support the heavy trucks and equipment that’s required in forestry.

When I went to work there I sometimes used the Gulf Brook Road and sometimes came in to Boreas Ponds From the Tahawus Club. Either trip was about seven miles from pavement and used to require unlocking and relocking two separate gates miles apart.

My decades as a stonemason in the Adirondacks have taken me to many very beautiful and some very exclusive places.

The lodge at Boreas Ponds is certainly one of the most beautiful locations I’ve seen. The idea of it being less exclusive is appealing to me.

I was allowed some artistic license on the job and when I saw the view from the porch on the opposite side of the fireplace I was compelled to build in a bench from which you get a marvelous view of Sawteeth and other high peaks. The view from the top of the chimney is indescribable. What a lovely place!

When you wrote about the possibility that “…a disabled veteran who fought for this country will not be afforded the same luxury as was given to the governor.” I thought about those veterans and where we sent them and what they endured and still endure. I really want them to be able to enjoy Boreas Ponds.

Translation: if you do not agree with me you are a bully, and if you do agree with me you are inspiring. What happened to taking the good and the bad, ‘cause when you take them both then you have the facts of life, as the lyricist wrote.

She also compared her non-bully with those who would go after one’s race or gender. Wrong again. Race and gender are not something you can choose. You can choose to diet or not to diet. The fact of the matter is that two-thirds of the nation is deemed overweight or obese, myself included, and it is a concern.

I wonder if Livingston finds it bullying when the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, goes out campaigning against obesity, especially in children. That stance is against her chosen lifestyle.

In the end, Livingston said that she would not react to Krause’s advice of using the next year to be an example by losing weight. You know what, I will then.

I have to admit that I do have a head start to this. Over the past summer, I dropped some weight - considerable, actually, and honestly I have gained some of that back.

However, with this in the spotlight, I see this as a great time to re-launch my goal and progress.

It’ll be fun, but wish me luck.

Rabid skunk attacks dogs in Keeseville

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com

KEESEVILLE — The Clinton County Health Department has confirmed a skunk that attacked three dogs was infected with rabies.

On Oct. 2 the skunk charged through a fenced in pen, attacked three dogs and was then killed by the dogs.

Local law enforcement responded to a call from the owner of the dogs and advised the dog owner to have the skunk tested for rabies. Two of the dogs attacked by the skunk had a current rabies vaccination and received a booster. A third dog was unvaccinated. After the skunk was confirmed rabid, the dog’s owners decided to euthanize it.

This is the second rabid animal in the southern part of Clinton County in the past year. A raccoon in the town of Black Brook tested positive for terrestrial rabies in September.

Tests are currently being done to determine if the skunk had terrestrial rabies. Health Department spokeswoman, Laurie Williams, said terrestrial rabies is a more aggressive type of rabies than the more common strain found in bats.

“This is the first time in 15 years we have seen terrestrial rabies in this county, it’s definitely a game changer for us in Clinton County,” William said. “We believe this skunk had terrestrial rabies because of the way he charged through the fencing to get to these dogs.”

Williams said the health department wants to get the word out about the importance of vaccinating family pets and educating children to stay away from animals that are acting strangely.

The Health Department is currently holding the annual round of fall rabies clinics and an additional clinic will be held at the Keeseville Fire Station on Wednesday, Oct. 10 at 6 p.m.

The rabies clinics are free for all Clinton County residents. Essex County residents and pet owners will not be turned away due to the current rabies situation in that part of the county. Donations are accepted.

The public is advised to take the following steps to protect against rabies: Report any sick or strange acting wildlife. Clinton County 565-4870. Essex County 873-3500. Vaccinate pets and livestock. New York State law requires that all dogs, cats and ferrets be vaccinated against rabies by 4 months of age. Vaccinating a domestic animal not only provides protection for the animal, but vaccinated pets act as a barrier to keep the rabies virus from spreading between wild animals and people.

Vaccination is also recommended for livestock with frequent human contact, such as horses and cows.

New director at North Star Museum shaun@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — The room was hidden away, in the back of a barn in Peru.

A small portal granted access into the dark space, a chamber of stone and naked earth about five feet wide and 10 feet long, where people seeking freedom were hidden.

The location is one of many along the North Star U n d e rg ro u n d R a i l ro a d Museum’s tour of underg ro u n d r a i l ro a d s i t e s i n Peru and Keeseville.

The tour was led by Don Papson, who stepped d o w n a s p re s i d e n t o f t h e museum so he could work on a book about the secret l i f e o f S y d n e y H o w a rd Gay, an active abolitionist during the Civil War. While driving past a farmhouse in Peru, Papson told the story about how the house’s current occup a n t s f o u n d a n i ro n l e g shackle while remodeling.

The shackle is now in the museum, and is purposely displayed open. “ Ye s , t h e m u s e u m i s about slavery, but it’s really about freedom,” Papson said.

The museum’s tour rolled through Keeseville a n d P e ru a s P a p s o n re counted stories about local abolitionists and the churches that were divided on the issue of slavery. “ T h e p ro b l e m w i t h t h e u n d e rg ro u n d r a i l ro a d i s

that it suggests to people that everything was underground, and it wasn’t,” Papson said.

“Underground means secret, but the good thing about that is it keeps interest alive.”

But the tour didn’t just focus on keeping the past alive.

Papson told a story about a group of abolitionists who stormed a jail in Syracuse to free an imprisoned fugitive slave.

Before taking the man to Canada, where he could be free, they brought him to a blacksmith, where two sist e r s b ro k e h i s l e g i ro n s with a hammer and chisel.

“I tell that story to emp o w e r c h i l d re n , b e c a u s e t h e re ’ s s l a v e r y t o d a y ” P a p s o n s a i d . “ T h e re ’ s more than 20 million people enslaved in the world today.”

The museum’s last tour of the season was Oct. 6, b u t i t s n e w p re s i d e n t , Jacqueline Madison, who took over Oct. 1, is already thinking about the future.

Madison was intrigued by the story of the underg ro u n d r a i l ro a d i n t h e North Country and became involved with the museum shortly after it opened.

“Now we think of putt i n g o u r v i e w s o u t t h e re and talking about what we b e l i e v e i n , a n d m a rc h i n g a n d re s i s t i n g , b u t t h a t wasn’t the norm in that era of history.” Madison said.

Madison said she has some ideas for new educat i o n a l p ro g r a m s , i n c l u d i n g m o re i n f o r m a t i o n o n the website, an app and starting up a traveling museum, which will reach out to teenagers.

“It relates to them that y o u r v o i c e c a n b e h e a rd , that you can make a difference,” Madison. “They are t h e f u t u re , a n d I t h i n k i f they can see that people in the past made a difference, then we can also.”

The traveling museum would be designed to be easily moved to different locations, like schools and libraries. In essence, people won’t have to go to the museum, the museum will come to them.

Madison also said there a re m a n y m o re s t o r i e s waiting to be told in the region, and that she would like to uncover all of them.

“A lot of times we have this negative twist on hist o r y, a n d t h i s i s re a l l y a p o s i t i v e t wi s t o n h i s t o ry, and it’s nice to have that come out,” Madison said.

“That’s what history is all a b o u t , t o i m p ro v e w h a t has been done and make c h a n g e s w h e re a p p ro p r i ate.”

The North Star Underground Railroad Museum is open by appointment t h ro u g h o u t t h e w i n t e r, and will return to its regular hours of operation on Memorial Day.

received an email from the North Star Underground Railroad Museum, even though they have given their last tour of the season this past weekend, the volunteers of the museum have agreed to keeping the Museum open on weekends from nine until four until the end of October. Private tours can also be arranged any time of the year. The Museum with the help of two local restaurants have established a very unique package deal of a private tour of the museum and then lunch at either the North Country Club or Pleasant Corners Restaurant depending on the day of the week. The price for this package deal is $13.50 per person including tax and tip. A great price for a very unique fun filled time in our community.

For more information about group tours, call The North Star Underground Railroad Museum at 834-5180.

Speaking of Pleasant Corners Restaurant, I was there this past weekend having a great Reuben, and I checked on Big Daddy’s Barbeque which has been normally a summer event. We were informed that Big

Daddy has built a roof over his grill and plans to grill all winter. I definitely plan on going in and enjoying a wonderful steak with that unique grilled taste in the middle of winter, and while I know I’ll enjoy it a lot, I’m sure there will be some guilt for making him stand outside in the freezing North Country cold!

As you have probably heard in the local news we have had a documented case of rabies in the Village with a rabid skunk that attacked a pen of dogs. Use extreme caution around all wild animals and definitely if anyone or thing is attacked get tested immediately.

I would like to thank our local police department who handled themselves so well and competently with regards to the recent murder/rape tragedies in our community.

Something like this can bring a community to panic but this was handled efficiently and quickly. Often little communities like ours can be dumbstruck and overwhelmed by such horrible events, but our police stayed on top of things well, and I appreciate this and feel very safe from it.

Take care everyone.

he Whallonsburg Grange hums with activity this month, with musicians, classes and giant birds of prey all making appearances. This Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m., Hudson Valley folkies Betty and the Baby Boomers will put on a show honoring Woody Guthrie on what would have been his 100th birthday. Reber ’s own Jay Fiegl, the singing scientist, is the opening act.

On Monday, Oct. 15, Barbara Kunzi will give a class in the community kitchen on making jellies and jams. This starts at 6.

On Tuesday, Oct. 16, as part of the Lyceum series, Mary Nell Bockman and the Wannabes will offer a history of protest music in American history through words and song. It’s at 7:30 p.m. and you may sing along. Later in the month Oct. 26, Wendy Hall of the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge and Rehabilitation Center brings some of her feathered friends to the Grange for a benefit for the local SPCA. Although it starts at 7 p.m., you may want to get there early because people love seeing owls and hawks up close- it will be crowded.

Deer and bear hunting begin this weekend, with muzzleloader season starting this Saturday, regular rifle season a week later, until it all finally ends on Dec. 9.

When out walking, I wear a bright orange vest and hat, while Ginny, an all white dog with no resemblance to a game animal, sports an orange jacket.

My personal advisor on all things horticultural set me straight on what makes for good fall color. Reds are created by sugars accumulating in the leaf, with the brightest colors occurring when autumn days are sunny and nights are chilly but not freezing, the same weather that makes for nice red apples. Rain literally leaches out the sugars and thus the color. Yellows and oranges are pigments already in the leaf that show up as green chlorophyll disappears. The weather of the preceding summer has no effect on leaf color. White pines are shedding old and damaged needles now, which is not a concern unless the whole tree turns yellow. I’m also assured that the stripes on wooly bear caterpillars do not predict the upcoming winter.

your tickets.

The Ladies of the Good Shepherd Church are currently having their fall raffle. Many beautiful prizes can be won including gift certificates from different businesses to a double size hand tied quilt. Parishioners will have tickets on sale around town, they are $1 each or six for $5. This drawling will be held on Friday, Oct. 19, at their annual Church of the Good Shepherd Fair at 5:30 p.m.

Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union is hosting their third annual Shred Fest on Tuesday, Oct. 16, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Elizabethtown. TFCU is providing this service to increase the public awareness about identity theft and how to prevent it. The service is free, although they're asking everyone to bring a non-perishable food item for distribution to our food pantry and the pantries in Moriah, and Ticonderoga.

Mamma Mia! If you haven't seen this musical, it is a must to see. The Elizabethtown Social Center is sponsoring it's fall trip to NYC on Nov. 3-4. The cost for the overnight trip is $341, for reservations call 873-6408.

he old saying of "here today gone gone tomarrow" was evident here in Willsboro this past week as we saw the Blanchard Apartment Building not only come down, but the rubble is also gone. Now we await what will someday take up that spot in our downtown area. It is also nice to see the apartment house on the other side of Turtle Island Restaurant getting a new paint job.

Some dozen Christian Women from our area attended a wonderful Spititual Conference in Barre, Vt. this past Saturday. It was led by Jennifer Rothschild and friends, she is a very inspiring speaker. She is also the author and leader behind our local Ecumenical Bible Study (The Handprint of God) held here in the Willsboro United Methodist Church fellowship area at 7 p.m. on Thursday evenings. The study has started but anyone wishing to join us is most welcome, just come. The ride to Vermont was a feast for our eyes to see the colorful trees. This is a great time to visit the Adirondack area and many are visiting. It is always sad to bid some of our regular citizens farewell for the winter months as

they depart for their winter homes.

The Willsboro & Reber United Methodist Churches are selling the fall boxes of fruit that the Kawanis Clubs previously sold, they are no longer an active organization and offered this project to the churches.

The boxes are still $20 a box and you can order by contacting the Payes at 963-7984 or any church person.

The summer events are now over, but the fall calendar is filling up, be sure to check out the many events at the Whallonsburg Grange hall, they have many interesting events scheduled. The film society is still making movies available twice a month; the next movie will be "The Navigator" to be held at the Willsboro School on Saturday, Oct. 20, starting at 8 p.m. for only a $5 admission.

Not sure of details but believe the Congregational Church will be having a public supper on Thursday Oct. 18.

ow many parents does it take to turn on a light bulb? Lots! Every October we celebrate Lights On Afterschool to support our afterschool programs, and this year over one million Americans across the country will join in.

On Thursday, Oct. 18, from 3 to 6 p.m., I hope you’ll come meet some friends of mine from the ACAP After School Program in the cafeteria at Westport Central. We’ve been drawing, coloring, cutting, pasting, and painting all sorts of colorful and imaginative light bulbs for our Lights On Art Show, and we’ll also have light refreshments available.

In addition to art and refreshments, we’ll have lots of information about the many benefits of after school programs for your children, and about how you can help support them. Studies show that the hours between 3 and 6 p.m. are the peak times for all the stuff parents worry about: “juvenile crime and experimentation with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and sex,” as the literature puts it. Kids who take part in afterschool programs are three times less likely to get mixed up with all that. They also do better

in school, receive higher test scores, have fewer behavioral problems, and go on to better jobs than those who don’t. How’s that for reasons to celebrate?

All parents of school-age children are invited, but so is anyone else who’s interested. We welcome adult volunteers and coming to our Lights On party is a good way to meet everyone and find out a little about the program. So please come and help us keep the lights on after school.

One of our wonderful parents is Heidi Palmer, who works at the Essex County Office for the Aging. At 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 17 (after she picks her son Kaleb up from the program), Heidi will give a talk at the Wadhams Free Library entitled “Navigating Medicare: Making Good Decisions during Medicare’s Open Enrollment Period.” This is the period (from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7) when you can change your Medicare health and drug coverage without restriction. Heidi is an expert on the ins and outs of Medicare, and after her talk she’ll be happy to take your questions.

Like all the Wednesdays in Wadhams lectures at the library, Heidi’s talk is free and open to the public.

Noble Memorial Library receives funding for building renovations ESSEX — The Belden Noble Memorial Library has been awarded a grant of $2,475 from the Essex Community Fund at the Adirondack Community Trust. The grant was funded in part by the Colin Fink Historic Project Fund and the Charlie Goff Memorial Fund.

The library will use the grant to support its project to improve the façade of its building. “This project has three main objectives: to make the library entrance easily accessible, to improve energy efficiency, and to enhance the appearance of the front of our building,â€? librarian Tom Mangano said.

The grant has enabled our library to purchase materials for the project, which will be completed as soon as possible.

The façade project has become a priority now that library automation has been achieved. In

August, the library became automated, giving its patrons electronic access to the full catalog of the Clinton-Essex-Franklin library system. The library is also making extensive use of its email distribution list and website to keep patrons aware of library news. Near-term plans call for expansion of services for children and young adults and for expansion of community programs.

The Belden Noble Memorial library was founded in 1899 and provides library services to the town of Essex. Sandy Vance is the president of the nine-member library board.

The Essex Community Fund is a component fund of the Adirondack Community Trust (ACT), a community foundation working to build permanent and pass-through funds to help meet current and future charitable needs of

All of the 2012 candidates have been invited and Congressman Bill Owens is one of many who plan to attend this event. There is

$30 million and has made grants totaling nearly $20 million to benefit the Adirondack region and beyond.

For more information on the Belden Noble Memorial Library, visit essexlibrary.org. For more information on the Adirondack Community Trust, visit generousact.org.

Child seat check planned WILLSBORO — The Essex County Sheriff's Department is holding a Child Safety Seat Check Event on Oct. 19, from noon to 4 p.m. at The Willsboro Fire Department, 1 Point Road. For more information, please contact the Essex County Traffic Safety Office at 873-3630. The Child Passenger Safety Program is sponsored by the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee.

Haunted Homestead slated WILLSBORO — On Saturday, Oct, 20, the Annual Haunted Homestead event will take place at the 1812 Homestead, at the corner of Rte. 22 and Reber Road in Willsboro from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is $8. There will be a Costume Parade around the Homestead at 1 p.m., games, face-painting, hayride and ghost stories for the younger crowd. Homebaked goodies and refreshments will be available onsite.

Easy and Economical Solutions for Those Postponed Remodeling Plans This time around, you will be more cautious like many consumers are with their choices and costs ... and yet you want to make observable changes.

stained counter surface with one made from the latest generation of premium laminate.

The latest additions to the popular Wilsonart(R)HD(R) High Definition(R) design series reflect new interest in natural, classic and tumbled marble, limestone and travertine.

The good news is this fashionable look is available without the high cost of stone or the constant maintenance those stones require.

These lighter, less patterned laminate designs are perfect for today’s hectic lifestyle. In fact, the new costefficient countertop can be installed within a few hours and without disrupting family life. They also give an existing kitchen the promise of a whole new look that’s universally appealing. That equals a big change for small change.

All of these new designs are available in a new surface effect of a lower matte-gloss sheen that seems almost glazed. The “Glaze� texture is actually a layering of matte features over a glaze of semigloss. This creates a timeworn result that is less reflective and more restrained. It’s a perfect balance for the sophisticated dramatic materials that are part of today’s kitchen: stainless steel, chrome, copper, and even glass.

Wilsonart patterns benefit from AEON Enhanced Performance technology. AEON brings four times the scuff and scratch-resistance of conventional laminate, as well as five times the wear resistance to the surface. Unlike granite, the surfaces of these new laminates are non-porous and never need to be sealed.

Prevention Team hosts teen relationship event at county fairgrounds

By Keith Lobdell

The Prevention Team of Essex County held a day of workshops on relationships and peer interaction Oct. 4 at the fairgrounds, with CVES Risk Management Specialist Jeff Sisson leading a discussion on bullying. “The biggest thing we wanted to do is define what bullying is so we can look at the issue with that understanding,�

Sisson, who also gave the opening address to students, said. “One of the biggest challenges when dealing with bullying

keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT — High school students from Westport, Crown Point and Moriah had the chance to talk and learn about peer relationships at the Essex County Fairgrounds last week.

is that people throw the word out all of the time and we need to start using the word appropriately.�

Sisson said that the key factor in bullying is the repeated nature of the action used by the bully to cause harm — mental or physical — to their victim.

Sisson also explained that looking at just the bully or the victim will not fully solve the problem. “We need to focus on the bystanders as well,� he said. “That is huge because you cannot change a culture by just focusing on the two people that may be directly involved in the act of bullying. It’s everybody in the school that is part of this. When you have everyone in the district working together, that is the key.�

Prevention educator Angie MacAlpine said the event was held to allow students the chance to talk about relationships in a less formal setting. “They do not have that time to talk about relationships at school,� MacAlpine said. “They get a chance to talk about how they see each other being treated not only in school but throughout the community.�

MacAlpine said that the students were also allowed to be open about topics that they may not otherwise talk about in a school setting. “Sometimes you need to be able to have that time where they can talk and we can not just hear but listen to what they are saying,� she said.

WESTPORT — Although the community outreach efforts provided by Project Hope are coming to an end as planned, a wide range of recovery services remain in place for residents of Clinton and Essex Counties affected by Tropical Storm Irene. “Our role in the recovery is coming to a close, but the recovery itself continues for some in our communities,� said Project Hope Program Coordinator Gretch Sando. “Services remain available for the people who find they still have disaster-related needs through what we call a ‘continuity of concern.’�

This continuity encompasses services provided by a number of nonprofit agencies in the area. The new Disaster Case Management (DCM) program, operating out of Plattsburgh under the auspices of Catholic Charities, the United Way, and the Mental Health Association in Essex County, Inc., of Westport, which administers Project Hope locally, are just a few of the agencies that will be part of the continuing recovery efforts.

Project Hope, which has been out in the field in Clinton and Essex Counties since November, was established to assist residents and communities across 13 New York State counties that received presidential declarations of disaster in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene. Through door-to-door canvassing, community networking, and public presentations, Project Hope Crisis Counselors have, as of the end of August, logged more than 39,000 miles in the North Country and served more than 2,000 of the residents affected by Irene—providing such services as emotional, educational, and informational support; assessment and referral; resource linkage; and public education, all free of charge.

With the program slated to close by the end of October, the local Project Hope team is now focused on ensuring a smooth transition of services to such entities as Catholic Charities DCM and the Long-Term Recovery Group (LTRG), established by the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. Disaster Case Managers will be working directly with the LTRG to provide assistance to residents with unmet needs related to Tropical Storm Irene.

Catholic Charities DCM can be contacted at 61-0470; the United Way can be reached by dialing the 211 helpline or calling 5630028.

othing in nature remains static for very long, and this time of year the most obvious example of this is the gradual emergence of fall foliage.

Autumn is the ultimate seasonal segue, a bridge between extremes, and it is upon us. Everything in the forest is preparing for the big freeze, which has already started to descend upon areas in the Adirondacks and will soon be working its way into the Champlain Valley. The onset of winter, the result of the tilt of the Earth and its position in orbit, is a major change indeed, and the bold pallette of colors accenting our mountains and valleys is a local response to that planetary positioning.

In the fall, as plants stop making chlorophyll, the pigment that gives leaves their green color and enables them to perform photosynthesis, other pigments begin to emerge. In trees like birches, elms and poplars, those pigments are called carotene and xanthophyll, and they are responsible for autumn yellows and oranges.

Red autumn leaves, commonly found on maples, staghorn sumacs and red-osier dogwoods, are the result of anthocyanins. These pigments are produced in the leaf cells and cause leaves to turn bright red if the cell sap is acidic and purple if the cell sap is alkaline. When red and yellow pigments are both present, the leaves appear orange, as is oftentimes seen on maple leaves.

Yes, the smell of dying deciduous leaves means change is in the air, but in the mountains, change is always in the air, and in some places its mark is literally etched into the mountainsides.

Last August, Tropical Storm Irene wreaked havoc on the region, and reminded us of just how fast change can occur here, and how intense that change can be. After the flood

waters subsided and towns and villages began rebuilding, it was estimated that about 28 new landslides had ripped paths into the High Peaks.

Residents of Keene and Keene Valley later described that terrifying night—the constant sound of pouring rain did little to muffle the noise of boulders, breaking trees and earth as it crashed thousands of feet into the valleys below, damming up waterways and exposing acres of bedrock in its wake.

From the top of Big Slide mountain there is a panorama containing a few of the new slide tracks along the Upper Great Range. They are easy to spot because they are bright white instead of the dark gray of their older neighbors.

Other mountains also bear scars from Irene. Leaving the Adirondack Loj, there is a slide just before Avalanche Pass whose base is easily approachable, and the cascade waterfall on Cascade Mountain, which was previously hidden by vegetation, can now be clearly seen from Rt. 73, just south of Lake Placid, as a result of a landslide on that mountain.

The landscape’s new look has given a that-wasn’t-therebefore edge to some of this year ’s hikes, but it has also provided a reality check. The fall foliage, that gentle and predictable seasonal change, provides the starkest contrast against the evidence of an event whose force stripped the landscape of an overwhelming volume of vegetation and boulders and soil without warning last year.

There is something here to be said about respect and humility, and perhaps a question as to why anyone would want to live in such a place. The truth is, it’s hard to turn your back on something you love. Sometimes change can be devastating, but, as autumn reminds us, it can also be good.
