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

Miller has a str ong backgr ound in nonprofit management and has most r ecently 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 boar d chair , John Laf ferty.

“Corrie rose to the top of a str ong group of candidates. We see a near futur e wher e a growing AsRA will be increasingly central to connecting curr ent science with the people who care about the river, together strengthening the health of theAusable River and its communities.”

“I am particularly excited about the growth potential of the organization and being part of gr owing it,” Miller said. “Y ears ago, I fell in lovewith the Adirondacks when I lived and worked here. Now I get to come back and put my professional experiences to work for the Ausable River and the human and wild communities that depend on it.”

Miller will move to the Ausable River valley and work side by side with T readwell, who r emains on as contract staf f for six months to ensure a smooth transition.

“Corrie brings tremendous skill and energy to AsRA,” Treadwell noted. “I’m thrilled to see the board able to move swiftly to make this transition effective. I’m expecting gr eat things for the Ausable River

and the Association in the coming years.”

Miller received her Bachelor of Science degree fr om Vanderbilt University, and completed a graduate certificate at University of Minnesota before obtaining a Master of Science degree from the University of Vermont.

Since that time she has served as Associate Director of Smokey House Center in Danby, Vt., and most recently has worked to build community partnerships in seven Northern Vermont towns thr ough the Staying Connected Initiative, a partnership of nonprofit and state agencies acr oss the Northeast working on behalf of wildlife habitat connections.

I

got a friendly note from a reader who would like more information about local events in this column. She correctly points out that not everyone is blessed with the Internet or receives cable, but the Valley News gets to every household in town. We don’t get cable here in Reber, but we do have the Internet, albeit a painfully slow Internet.

Please email me with your events and I will be sure to put them in the paper. Having said that, I owe an apology to Norma Goff for overlooking her email about a sale at the community church. I was using my son’s iPad last week, and clearly I should stick to my simple but reliable old Dell.

An excellent movie is playing Saturday at the Whallonsburg Grange. It’s called “Buck,” and it’s about a real man who trains horses (and their owners) using his unusual communication abilities. This won a Best Documentary award at Sundance, and starts at 8 p.m.

Coming up at the town hall on the Oct. 17, is a Zoning Board of Appeals public hearing, at 7:30 p.m. On Oct. 25, there will be a town budget workshop at 3 p.m., and on Nov. 10

there will be a public hearing on the preliminary town budget at 6 p.m.

I’m just back from a week in Amsterdam, where we stayed on a houseboat and got around on foot. The streets there are narrow, jammed with bicycles and seem to be thoroughly unregulated. Bicyclists scorn helmets, even for infants and children, there are no barriers along the canals, and pedestrians are at the bottom of the food chain. Once you get the rhythm of traffic, the anarchic system works efficiently and the city is small enough to walk most everywhere. By chance, we discovered a rich merchant’s house from the 1660s, now a museum, that contains a secret church in the attic. The merchant was Roman Catholic, and by law was not allowed to practice his faith. He quietly built a church in the top floors of his house with a pipe organ, an altar, a steep and separate stair case for congregants and seating for 150. The authorities, with typical Dutch tolerance and pragmatism, looked the other way and the church is still in use, 350 years later.

A

group that's been doing a lot of great work recently is Champlain Area Trails (CATS), which is headquartered here in Westport and run by Chris Maron. CATS hopes to bring more visitors to our local shops, restaurants, and other businesses by establishing a network of hiking trails linking various communities in the Champlain Valley.

Over the past several years, CATS volunteers have cleared beautiful new trails not only in Westport, but also in Essex and Willsboro. And just last weekend, they expanded their horizons with a new trail to Cheney Mountain in Moriah, just south of the Pelfershire Road. "Volunteers came from Port Henry, Mineville, Moriah, Crown Point, Westport, Wadhams, Essex, and even southeast Kentucky," Chris says.

"After some tasty muffins, welcoming words, and introductions, we cut branches and saplings, removed fallen logs, weedwhacked through tall goldenrod, and put up trail markers as we worked uphill to the summit." The trail to the summit, which offers a breathtaking view of the lake, is nearly done now, but they'll need

another work day to finish it. If you're interested in volunteering, or if you want to get on their email list for future projects, call CATS at 962-2287 or visit champlainareatrails.com.

CATS has also announced an exciting Travel Writing Contest with a First Prize of $500 and a People's Choice Award (decided by online voting) of $250. For contest guidelines, visit the CATS website (see above). In a nutshell, they're looking for "real experiences by real people" who have enjoyed the natural beauty as well as the fine dining, lodging and/or shopping available in the area. The deadline for submissions is midnight, December 5, so get cracking.

Next up in my lecture series The Story Behind the Story at the Whallonsburg Grange, we'll be looking at the history behind H. G. Wells' classic sci-fi tale The Time Machine. Among other things, we'll consider the urgent question, "Why does a Time Machine resemble a bicycle?" Audiences around here tend to be curious and well-informed, and so we always have a lively Q&A at the end. That's Tuesday, Oct. 18, at 7:30 p.m.

wo very active organizations in Keeseville are having meetings and elections that will help guide the future for both important groups to our community.

First, the Chesterfield Fish and Game Club just this past week held nominations for Club Officers. Now would be a great time to get involved with the Club as a member. This Club has numerous events throughout the year for all the members of our community including shoots and the recent Sportsman’s show. Mike Boutin is the President of the Club which can be reached through its website at http://www.chesterfieldshootingrange.co m/ or by phone at 946-7617.

Secondly, just this Wednesday, Oct. 12, at 4:30 p.m., the Adirondack Architectural Heritage hosted a meeting on the revitalization of Keeseville. With the recent damage from Irene as well as a general positive sense of community I get from meeting residents this is a very important meeting for Keeseville. Even if this news comes late I encourage everyone interested in helping Keeseville to get in touch with

AARCH.ORG. Steven Engelhart is the Executive Director. Interested parties can contact the organization via its website at www.aarch.org, by visiting its offices at 1745 Main Street, Keeseville, or by calling 834-9328 or 834-9225.

The fall foliage is coming on strong and the birds are heading south. This is a great time to be walking around as the colors are spectacular and there are many animals scurrying about preparing for winter. I still don’t have the amount of birds at my feeders as before Irene but I do have some activity to keep my cat entertained.

I’ve only lived in Keeseville for three years now having come from apartment living in Plattsburgh, and I greatly appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and friendliness I find no matter where I wander. It is great to see the recent work at Jaycee Park, the incredible activities put on by our Keeseville Free Library and the work of the two above mentioned organizations. There are a lot of positive things going on in our community. All it takes is people to help revitalize Keeseville. Take care and stay well.

all Foliage lovers, “aka,” Leaf Peepers, have arrived in the Adirondacks. Be on the lookout for busloads of tourists and out-of-state cars slowing down to admire the mountains.

ave you been considering adding a dog to your family, and wondering whether a mixed breed might be the right pet for you? In terms of companionship, mixed breeds can make wonderful pets. The American Temperament Testing Society’s evaluated several key personality traits such as stability, friendliness, aggressiveness, and shyness; 85.4-percent of mixed breeds passed, well above the percentage of some popular purebreeds. Healthwise, mixed breeds tend to live longer and healthier lives than many purebreeds who suffer from the problems of inbreeding. For example, Dachshund dogs tend to have back problems and German Shepherds often suffer from hip deformities.

Mixed breed dogs may not be as predictable as their purebred cousins, but there is something to be said for being unique! And many mixed-breed dogs are as intelligent and attractive as purebred dogs. Just ask Josie's new family (renamed J-J). Josie's owner, Sevi, has taught her to shake hands with both paws, sit up, "dance" on her hind legs, and several other tricks. Josie is fully kennel trained, has excellent leash manners, and rides well in a car. She is full of love and a desire to

please... who could ask for a better companion?

Our featured pet this week is Marsha, a snow-white, Domestic Shorthair-mix who has been recovering from a string of bad luck. In addition to being a victim of the recent flooding, she was also attacked by a dog, and gave birth to 4 beautiful kittens all whom died. Despite her misfortunes, Marsha has retained her good spirits and sparkling personality. This pretty lady is very sweet, craves attention and lets you know she is content with a resounding purr. She also has excellent manners; she would make a wonderful addition to any home.

T

he Columbus Day holiday kind of brings our fall season to a close for many, and there sure were a goodly number of yard sales over the long weekend. We also bid several good byes to more and more of our friends who go to the warmer climate. Columbus Day weekend is also the time when many locals join together for a holiday in Maine, this is a long tradition. A couple more of our favorite restaurants have now closed for the season, Ethel’s and the Old Dock in Essex.

The Christian After School program started this past Thursday, there is still room for more interested students between Kindergarten and High School.

As a community we have much to be thankful for our local rescue squad, they sure were put into action over this past weekend serving many calls. Many of you may remember a couple of years ago some of us woke up to find a decorated toilet seat in our yard, this was a fund raiser for one of the school classes; well this year you could find a decorated PIG in your yard, so

be on the look out. It was reported to me that the open house at the old Willsboro School did have a pretty good crowd out to see first hand the plans for turning the building into assisted living for Senior Citizens. Don’t forget the movie “Buck” will be playing out at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall on Saturday, Oct 15.

Sorry to learn that Marge Provost was taken to the Hospital this past week, we send our well wishes for her recovery. It was good to learn that Helen (Curran) Puzier who suffered a stroke late this summer is now back home after several trips to the hospital down in the Albany area, great news.

I learned that a few more have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversaries, they include Jane and Tom Spierto, Wayne amd Donna Bailey and of course the Feeley’s.

Happy birthday to Ben Wever Oct. 16, George Bierce Oct. 16, Rebecca Lynn Palmer Oct. 17, Kevin Joseph Sayward Oct. 17, Logan Kyle Young Oct. 18, Joseph Ferris Oct. 21, Jim Kinley Oct. 22.

Valley News Editorial

Viewpoint

Perhaps we have more in Privatizing public sector common than one might think work deserves scrutiny I W

hen it comes to the issue of privatizing services, ther e’s always a worry that jobs will be lost and the quality of services will decline.

While both are valid concerns, it’s important to look at the bigger picture.

In today’s economy , we can’t af ford to overspend in our personal budgets. The same goes for governments, school districts, and other taxing jurisdictions. Every means of saving tax dollars must be scr utinized, and dif ficult, oftentimes unpopular decisions must be made.

Like privatizing services.

The reality is, the private sector is held to a dif ferent level of accountability than the public sector — either make the bottom line, or cease to exist.

Private business is not bound by statemandated wage increases or benefits packages which have become way out of line with those in the private sector.

The r esult is private businesses operate much mor e lean, pr ovide better customer service and are forced to be efficient to stay in the black. They do not have a seemingly endless supply of tax dollars to fall back on if they are not.

It is for this r eason that governing agencies like Clinton County have taken a har d look at moving away from government control toward private control.

The county Legislatur e voted last month to sell its home health care service license to HCR Home Care. Based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s been a prudent move.

Like many arms of government, the county’s home healthcar e services pr ogram had been hemorrhaging money to the tune of $2 million a year for the past two years. The majority of the legislators agr eed it was no longer fiscally r esponsible to keep pr oviding the services it has for the past 45 years if the county was going to continue to lose money.

We agree.

At the same time, privatizing services is only an advisable move when it is carefully studied.

Based on the presentations made by HCR Home Care and from the information shared with the media and the public by the legislators, it seems like a wise deal. HCR Home

Care officials say they can provide the same level of services at the same level of quality.

The company backed up its statements with a proven track record of professionally servicing mor e than 2,000 patients in a fivecounty coverage area, and doing so at a pr ofit.

Let’s hope that is the future for the 300 patients here.

Another example of privatization may soon take place in the town of Champlain.

The Northeastern Clinton Central School District is doing what the county Legislatur e did, studying the feasibility of privatizing services. This time, it’s the school district’s bussing services.

The school district’s board of education is obtaining a free cost analysis from a private bus company to investigate how much could be saved — if anything — if the district wer e to contract with a firm versus continue to employ its own drivers. Though ther e ar e concerns over the loss of jobs with such a move, district of ficials have stated it has been the practice of private firms to bring the currently employed workers under their wing.

Either way , as Gov . Cuomo once said, schools really aren’t in the business of pr oviding jobs; they are in the business of providing a quality education to our childr en.

If money can be freed up for that by privatizing bussing, then why not hand over the keys?

If a cost savings can be pr oven, it is our sincere hope that the school board does not bow to union pressure and makes the tough decisions we’re all having to make with our personal budgets to make ends meet.

It’s been said that anything the government can do, private industry can do better.

That may be a bit of a stretch, but it is worth studying in this economic climate, and if our tax dollars are better spent in the private sector, then that’s where they should be.

GuestViewpoint The Person Inside: The Same in a Nursing Home as at Home

A

ll of my life, I have enjoyed the delicious flavors of all kinds of food — the sultry flavors of Indian cuisine, the spicy bite of an enchilada and the tartness of key lime pie, just to name a few. This enjoyment is part of what makes me who I am, and all of my closest friends and family know it. I also like to wake each morning at 5 a.m. sharp and am very independent. No matter where I live or how old I am, I will carry these preferences and habits with me.

A nursing home is a home; a new address. Our likes and dislikes do not change when our address changes. As nursing home residents, our preferences and individuality should be respected. In fact, all nursing home residents have rights, protected by both federal and New York state law, which ensure that dignity, respect and consideration be given to our unique schedules, preferences and wishes.

Do you have your own quirks and a list of “must-haves?” Here is a list of just a few of the protected resident rights, for nursing home residents: The right to be treated with dignity, respect and consideration at all times. We are individuals, with histories, personal preferences and feelings, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity, no matter what our address is.

The right to choose activities, schedules and health care consistent with your interests and plan of care. Wake up at 5 a.m., decide to watch TV all day, and contact an acupuncturist for that painful arthritis — it’s all your choice!

The right to privacy in the treatment and care of your personal needs. Doors should be closed and privacy curtains should be pulled during your care.

The right to communicate with and have access to people and services inside and outside the facility. It is your right to visit

www.thevalleynews.org with a long-lost relative, or to continue seeing a favorite family doctor.

The right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal. Feel free to voice your concerns, without retaliation or resentment for doing so.

These are just a few of the protected rights of residents living in New York state’s nursing homes. Nursing home residents take their individuality, history and preferences with them; they do not simply leave them at the door when they arrive.

For more information about resident rights in longterm care facilities, contact your local ombudsman, or read more about resident rights on the New York State Department of Health website at www.health.state.ny.us.

Volunteer longterm care ombudsman serve at every nursing home and adult care facility in Clinton and Essex counties. They are trained professionals who assist with and investigate resident concerns, and advocate for the rights of residents in long term care facilities. If you believe that the rights of your loved one have been violated, or if you would like advice or assistance, call Alan Bechard. The ombudsman assigned to the facility can assist you with your concern.

Alan Bechard Alan Bechard is the Ombudsman Program Coordinator for Clinton and Essex counties. He can be reached at 562-1732 or alanbechard@aol.com.

Apology needed To the Valley News: I have been r eading the column written by Dan Alexander each week, and wonder if people are really listening and responding to these comments. In recent perspective of voting and our attitudes about this right also brings to mind pr evious views on integrity and forthrightness of our elected officials, and the formation of an ethics committee to address these concerns.

The purpose of “Elected” board members is to represent the public and voice community concerns with some measur e of leadership from the elected Supervisor. In Elizabethtown we ar e now informed that ther e will be no room for either public comment nor reading of letters or statements into the r ecord. To effectively close dialogue is an af front to the constituents who elected them to office.

To be short, there were unfounded accusatory statements made at an open T own Boar d meeting by the Supervisor and affirmed by the Board (save one) that publicly maligned an outstanding member of this community; namely Br uce Pushee. This man has built a more than 20 year reputation based on his honesty, integrity, and community ef forts both in his pr ofessional and personal life. These r emarks wer e bor derline slander and based on innuendo and fabrications. He holds himself, indeed, so does the Board of Realtors, to much higher standards than elected public officials.

Being proven to be wr ong in all r espects, a total r etraction and public apology by this Board is more than in order and should be demanded.

In reflection before voting, I would urge all of us to examine this behavior and take seri-

Support United Way To the Valley News: As a T own and County Supervisor I know first-hand that government is not always the answer for all of our needs. We have to rely on many other services and people who are there to lend a helping hand.

How would you feel to know ther e was an organization there to help when your elderly parents, childr en, grandchildr en, friends or neighbors needed assistance?

I’ll tell you how I feel: r elieved and thankful, and that is exactly how you should feel knowing United Way of the Adirondack region is here in our Tri-County communities.

We are very fortunate to have United W ay and the 39 Partner Agencies striding to be a leader in community partnership building and to increase the organized capacity of people to care for one another.

For these or ganizations to maintain the capability to pr ovide much needed services we have to reach deep into our hearts and give a donation that you can afford - remember there is no donation too small every little bit helps.

A wise friend of mine once said, “that separately we accomplish little, but together we can accomplish the extra ordinary.”

Film Society asks Essex County for funding ELIZABETHTOWN — The chair of Adirondack Film Society presented the Essex County Board of Supervisors with a view of the or ganization and a r equest for continued funding at the monthly meeting of the body Oct. 4.

“Essex County has been our main benefactor every year that we have been in existence,” said John Huttlinger Jr. “We would not be in business today without the generosity of Essex County.”

Huttlinger added that the society understood the difficulties facing the county in terms of the budget season. “ We u n d e r s t a n d a b o u t t h e b u d g e t c o n s t r a i n t s t h a t everyone is under ,” Huttlinger said. “W e fully understand any adjustments have to be made. We do appreciate everything that you have done.”

Huttlinger added the appr eciation of the society for the help that they had r eceived so far, and pr esented a 10-minute video detailing the work of the organization.

“We wanted to thank you for the years of support that we have received from Essex County andan idea of what we plan to do,” Huttlinger said. “We have started to focus more on local filmmaking in the past few years.”

Huttlinger pointed to several programs, including the student film contest and festival, as events that have helped promote the region and the film industry in the North Country.

“It’s fun to come watch these films that the kids have made,” he said.

Huttlinger also talked about implementing a pro gram with films every month.

Blue bands to help flood relief JAY — Community members are seeking to raise awar eness and funds for those impacted by Tropical Storm Irene.

“The Band” fund raiser concept is based on blue silicone wrist bands with a printed message, ADK Irene Relief.

“My hope is to facilitate the raising of both a wareness a nd m oney f or r esidents, businesses and or ganizations who wer e in Irene’s destr uctive path,” Dawn Klotzko, resident of Upper Jay, said.

Klotzko is currently seeking organization groups to volunteer to collect donations in exchange for the bands at organization events. The bands would be distributed to organizations throughout the Adirondacks, at no cost to the vendor. The recommended donation/retail price for the band will be $5 with 100 percent of the proceeds going to relief efforts.

The community hopes to gather much needed funds to rebuild a region still reeling from unprecedented flooding.

Della, of Willsboro, was surprised by friends and family in the banquet hall of the retirement home with a party to celebrate her 100th birthday.

Wearing a birthday cake-fashioned party hat and looking vibrant in a purple pant suit and a beautiful corsage given to her by family, Della was happy to see five generations of Garvey come t ogether f or h er b irthday p arty that almost wasn’t able to take place.

“She was really excited to see everyone, the party had to sort of be a surprise because we didnt know if the party would be able to go on due to a three-day quarantine at the home because of a stomach bug,” Shar on Garvey, Della’s daughter-in-law, said.

But n othing w as g oing t o s tand i n the way of Della’s 100th birthday. After raising five childr en on her family dairy farm, outliving her husband Rollin of 68 years, and her son Micheal, watching 16 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren grow up, Della remains a strong and healthy woman.

Della was born in Willsboro on Oct. 7, 191 1. She and her husband Rollin were married for 68 years, raised five children on their family farm. Della is regarded as having a “gr een thumb,” always taking car e of the family garden and gr owing beautiful house plants at the farm.

The tr ee planting will be

The board then held a special meeting on Sept. 30 to discuss the matter further before deciding to ask the Essex County Boar d of Elections to not add the proposition to the Nov. 8 ballot.

At the time, Hatch said that the town was looking for the best way to make sur e that, if there was a need for a new person to lead the DPW in 2014, the town had a qualified individual.

“The next DPW commissioner will be r equired to be licensed for water, sewer and

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

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

The concept of teaching fire prevention is portant to r emind the public — especially children — of what to do in the event of a fir e important, Kostyk said. Statistics have shown as fire prevention education has been and how to prevent one in the first place.

“The best way to save lives is to pr event introduced into schools, the number of incidents nationwide has decr eased steadily the fir e fr om happening,” said LaFountain, over the past several decades.

Anders Johnson scores win in Flaming Leaves jumping event LAKE PLACID — The chase for ski jumping’s Art Devlin Cup continued today, Saturday, Oct. 8, as the United States’ best jumpers took to Lake Placid’s 90-meter ski

jump to compete in the annual Flaming Leaves Festival. Soaring thr ough the smell of barbecue in the air , and the sound of Blues music i n t he b ackground, Anders Johnson (Park City, Ut.) flew to a first place finish and maintained his overall lead in the three event standings. The 2010 Olympian recorded jumps of 102.5 meters and 94.5 for 260.5 points.

Peter Fr enette (Saranac Lake), who missed the July 4 event because of a shoulder injury, bounced back with a second place finish.

Frenette, also a 2010 Olympian, tallied jumps of 102 and 90.5 on his way to 250.5 points.

The reigning two-time Art Devlin C up c hampion N ick Fairall (Andover , N.H.) grabbed the festival’s thir d

“When I started in the fir e services about 30 years ago, we had many mor e str ucture fires and fir e-related incidents,” said Kostyk, who serves as a member of the Cadyville Volunteer Fir e Department. “W e can thank that in part to better building codes and materials these days, but I think, really, a very large portion of that goes to the focus local fire departments have put on fire prevention. Our kids ar e better educated than we were when we were in school.”

“What’s great is the kids will pick up on so much stuff that their parents may not know,” added LaFountain, r eferring to topics like new fire prevention technology and statistics on the types of fir es that ar e most reported in their area. “So, the kids can sometimes educate their par ents just as much as the parents can educate their kids.”

Though National Fire Prevention Week is touted once a year , both LaFountain and Kostyk reiterated the importance of children and adults alike keeping fire safety in mind throughout the year.

“It’s not just the week it occurs,” said LaFountain. “It’s important to keep an eye place finish after soaring to jumps of 100 and 87. His efforts earned him 244.0 points.

And, when in doubt, the public can always call on their local fir e departments to of fer their expertise when it comes to what’s safe and what isn’t.

“Most Monday nights, there is someone at our fir e stations if anyone has any questions,” said Kostyk.

Any school or or ganization that would like a fir e prevention visit can contact their local fire department, which would be more than willing to oblige, added LaFountain. “[The departments] have no pro blem coming in and educating anyone who asks for the information,” he said.

Did you know?

According to the National Fire Prevention Association, Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871 conflagration that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. The fire began on Oct. 8, but continued into and did most of its damage Oct. 9, 1871.

Instead, it was replaced with Lady Eagle hot pink and Lady Wildcats tie-dye pink.

The teams took part in a Cancer Awareness Game as part of National Cancer Awareness Month, an idea that started in a meeting of local athletic dir ectors and turned into a cause to help one of the Wildcats’ own.

“We were at anAD meeting in Lake Placid and they brought it to our attention that we could do one of these games to pr omote cancer awar eness,” Schr oon Lake Athletic Director and girls varsity soccer coach Mary Lou Shaughnessy said. “Brad (Rascoe, Westport AD and girls varsity coach) and I got together and figured out that we wanted to do this.”

“Our players were more than open to the idea,” Rascoe said. “W e asked them what they wanted to do for uniforms and came up with the variations on the pink uniforms. The players wer e very enthusiastic about it.”

Both coaches said that the plan was to originally raise awareness for breast cancer, but a diagnosis for one of the Wildcat’s parents changed the plan to focus on general

“The team was very excited for the event, but when we found out that Miranda DeZalia’s father, Kelly, had been diagnosed and it hit home with the team and with Miranda, we knew that we wanted to turn this into something that we could do to support the family.”

“At first, my dad was kind of skeptical about the dedication,” Miranda said of her father, who was diagnosed with colon can-

cer. “Then he decided that it would be an honor to represent those that have been affected by cancer . The team has been very supportive of our family, and we wanted to raise awareness for the disease.”

Kelly and wife Stephanie attended the game along with other family members and friends.

“They had alr eady planned this event, and then the team came to him and asked if they could dedicate the game to him,”

Stephanie said. “It was a very nice gestur e by the team.”

Overall, Shaughnessy said that the game raised $385 to go towar ds cancer r elated programs.

While the Wildcats were on the short end of a 3-0 Westport victory, players and coaches said that the night was a success either way.

“We were able to raise awar eness, and it was a fun night,” Miranda DeZalia said.

rom an historical prospective, the vast forested lands of the Adirondacks have been in conflict from before the time of recorded time.

The region has been involved in a perpetual mix of natural and political struggles. Minor earthquakes continue to rattle the region, as the earth’s crust rebounds from the weight of glaciers that retreated, thousands of years ago.

Similarly, there continues to be a great political weight placed upon a region, which was once considered a contested land among Native Peoples, with the Algonquin to the North, the Mohawk to the south and the Abanaki to the east.

The territory was once highly valued as a ‘great beaver hunting ground’, until the near depletion of the long toothed, flat tailed, natural resource for which it was named.

Beaver pelts were the original commodity of the New World, as Europeans explorers established trade with the Native People. However, as beaver were eventually trapped to near extinction, the value of the land returned to Couchsaraga, or the ‘dismal wilderness’ it once had been.

Accordingly, beaver were reintroduced into the Adirondacks in the early 1900’s, and in less than a quarter of a century; a trapping season was restored.

This natural rebounding process provides a most appropriate analogy to describe the land, and its inhabitants to this day. Life in these parts continues to mirror an unending cycle of natural rebounds, as civilized societies of man, and the uncivilized societies of nature continue to struggle through cycles of boom and bust.

The wild character of the land has been at the center of the struggle from the very beginning, and it remains so to this day.

Although much of the region was divided into land patents and grants following the various wars, the

The Lumberjacks lost to Ticonderoga, 48-14, in a game that was for the Class D regular season title.

land remained sparsely settled as settlers largely bypassed it while traveling west on the Erie Canal.

Eventually, the region rebounded as vast stores of natural resources were discovered and lumber, iron ore and a host of other organic products were again exploited.

The quantities of “long horned, whitetail” Adirondack beef that were shipped to urban markets, is startling. By the mid-1800’s, there were tons of Lake Champlain sturgeon, salmon, trout and black bass, salted and barreled for transport to the south. Eventually, they found willing buyers at the Fulton Fish in New York City.

Over time, the ongoing exploitation of the land and its natural resources eventually gave way to such unique concepts as wilderness protection and preservation.

Initially, these efforts were focused on the protection of watersheds necessary to fuel commerce on New York’s growing canal system, which were vital to the state’s economy.

Later, the importance of preserving forested lands was recognized for protecting the fresh water reservoirs necessary for the state’s ever expanding, urban populations.

However, by the late 1880’s, a movement began to preserve wilderness simply for the sake of the land itself. Again, the Adirondacks were on the rebound.

The Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks was one of the original players on the field, but there were also a number of similar “protectionist” organizations established.

By the turn of the century, efforts were underway to protect and restock the depleted populations of moose, beaver, whitetail deer and black bear in the Adirondacks.

There was even ‘The Society to Protect Adirondack Spruce’, which was organized to prevent the over-harvesting of spruce which was used for camp ornamentation. In 1897, the Society’s brochure warned, “One can barely find a spruce tree along an Adirondack lake, larger in diameter than a man’s wrist!”

After enduring nearly centuries of cyclical exploration and cynical exploitation, there came a realization that the wild lands of the Adirondacks provided a unique benefit for human enhancement.

It was determined the forests, lakes and mountains, raging rivers and howling wildlife of the region were of greater human weight, if they remained intact in a natural state, rather than being packed out as industrial freight.

This concept is still easy to grasp, especially when it

is considered from atop a mountaintop lookout, or while paddling upon a stillwater pond. However, the focus becomes increasingly fuzzy when there’s a family to feed, a house to heat or land taxes due.

The region’s most contentious challenge will continue to be the ongoing effort to balance a perpetual protection of natural resources, with the preservation of a unique breed of people. Optimistically, I believe we’ll rebound, like the earth’s crust below!
