County generators sent to NYC

Coming together after transplant

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com Au SABLE FORKS — Fourteen months ago, the North Country was attempting to recover from Tropical Storm Irene.

During that time, a lot of people from southern New York, including the New York City area, came to the North Country through Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Labor for Your Neighbor Day and other initiatives to help start putting things back into place.

Now, the roles have reversed, and Jay Department of Public Works Superintendent Chris Garrow helped lead a Halloween treat of generators down to the New York City area.

PORT HENRY — The sacrifices of American service men and women are painfully obvious in the town of Moriah this Veterans Day weekend.

Staff Sgt. Dain Venne, age 29, of Port Henry was killed along with Specialist Brett E. Gornewicz from Alden and Specialist Ryan P. Jayne from Campbell in Paktiya Province, Afghanistan, on Nov. 3, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.

The men were assigned to

the 444th Engineer Company, which is headquartered in Oswego. The unit is an element of the 178th Engineer Battalion of the 412th Theater Engineer Command.

Lt. Col. Doril Sanders of the 412th TEC said the men were combat engineers conducting “route-clearing” duties for a convoy when an improvised explosive device blasted their vehicle.

Venne had completed an earlier tour of duty in Iraq and was serving one in Afghanistan.

He is the son of Brian and Laura (Harris) Venne. Brian

Dain Venne Venne is Moriah town justice and a former town trustee. Laura Venne is a

teacher at Moriah Central School.

“It’s a sad day in the town of Moriah,” Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “Our hearts go out to the Venne and Harris families. Dain was a true hero; one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. He was respected by the entire community. It’s a horrible, horrible tragedy.

“It’s a sad day for the entire community,” he added.

“When tragedy strikes Moriah comes together and we will now. Moriah is a family.”

Black Ash Pond cleanup continues through DEC, Georgia Pacific

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — The work to remove around five million cubic feet of “Black Liquor” continues in the town of Willsboro.

The “Liquor,” also known as Black Ash, was a byproduct cre-

ated by the Champlain Fibre Company and Willsboro Pulp Mill production of paper over 80 years.

The site to deposit the material, known as Black Ash Pond, borders the Boquet River. The river was protected from the materials by a man-made dike, however the structure started to partially erode, leaving the river exposed to the ash, a combination of soda ash, chemical lime, wood fiber and soft coal.

After the town of Willsboro, which currently owns the property after it was deeded to them from Georgia Pacific in 1966 and has its water treatment plant there, studied the site and determined that work needed to be done, Georgia Pacific was charged with the task under the Department of Environmental Conservation.

“Last week I had a tour of the site with representatives of the of the construction group, DEC and Georgia Pacific,” Willsboro Supervisor Ed Hatch said.

Cookie-Cup-Cakery open for business

Willsboro students to shine in ‘Oliver’ show

WILLSBORO — The smell of fresh-baked goods can now be found at the Willsborough Business Center.

The Cookie-Cup-Cakery opened their doors in July, owned by Michelle Barber and operated by herself and her mother, Tina Dombrowski.

“We offer a wide variety of breads, rolls, bagels, muffing, scones, pastries, danishes, cookies, cakes, cupcakes, cakes, cake-pops, cakes-to-go, cake-by-theslice, chocolates, canMichelle Barber and Tina Dombrowski of the Cook- dies, European treats, ie-Cup-Cakery in Willsboro. party platters, seasonal items and much more,” Barber said. “We like to create a new item each week.”

The Cookie-Cup-Cakery is opened from 7 a.m. until 3:15 p.m.

Tuesdays through Fridays, and from 7 a.m. until noon on Saturdays. They are closed Sundays and Mondays.

Barber said that she created the business after losing employment.

“I began this business after loosing my job and moving on a dream and a desire to serve my community,” she said. “I began as a vendor at the Willsboro Farmers Market and local craft fairs over a year and a half and then was encouraged to start a bread ministry, supplying the Willsboro Senior Center with fresh bread weekly.”

Barber said that through her vending and word-of-mouth, she was able to build up a customer base.

“We were blessed when our bakery location became available, and that's where the journey began,” she said. “My hope is to eventually find other families in need to help, or working with the town food shelf.”

Barber said that the key ingredient to her business is in how each item they create is prepared.

“We bake everyday and make everything from scratch,” she said. “There are no boxed or premade frozen items. Our all occasion cakes are custom made-to-order with hand-made sugar flowers and decorations.”

Barber said that the bakery uses, when it can, local supplies in their baking.

“We support local farmers markets, farmers and co-ops, Adirondack Harvest and Buy Fresh Buy Local using local ingredients when available,” she said.

Barber said that she is pleased with the business so far, which is already taking orders for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

WILLSBORO — “More!”

Student actors at Willsboro Central School will be bringing another classic musical theater piece to the state with their upcoming performance of Charles Dickens “Oliver” on Nov. 9.

The 40-member cast of students from second grade to seniors in high school will act before a professional backdrop of the London skyline.

The stage will set the somber tone of the times with blue and pink lighting and a fog machine to project the streets of London in the Willsboro auditorium while a spotlight and the lively music will grab the audience.

“It’s a very dark show with orphans, people who are out of work, living dirty and dingy party of town and the music is such a contrast,” director Derrick A. Hopkins said. “The play is so upbeat as if everyone living so low uses

to music to keep their spirits high.”

The story of Oliver is based on the Dickens novel, “Oliver Twist.” The play follows the orphan Oliver as he is sold from an orphanage to an undertaker shop for asking for more gruel.

The play follows Oliver after he runs away only to become part of a gang of pickpockets led by the nefarious leader, Fagin. After being caught after picking his first pocket, Oliver finds himself under the hospitality of his intended victim, Mr. Brownlow, where there is an instant bond. Just when Oliver thinks he is safe trouble comes

back for him when the pickpockets go after him, fearful he will tell the police about them.

Hopkins said audience members should be prepared to love the music and will be surprised by many of the songs they already know were written for this play.

The play’s leading role of Oliver will be played by Oliver Lee. Lee said it was his first high school play and he has liked being part of it and has made new friends through the play.

“I liked the role of playing the orphan, and in the story it starts with him being really poor and the story is sad, but in the end he gets a second chance, there was hope,” Lee said.

Musical scores include Broadway classics: “Food, Glorious Food,” “I'd Do Anything,“ “Where is Love?,” “Consider Yourself,” “As Long As He Needs Me,” “Who Will Buy?” and “Reviewing the Situation.”

The play will show on Nov. 8 through the 11 at 7 p.m. in the High school auditorium.

I would like to thank the Elizabethtown-Lewis Ambulance Squad, the nurses and staff at the Elizabethtown Hospital, and Dr. DeMero for the care I received during my stay with them.

Viewpoint

Can we be Empire State strong?

I

n the aftermath of Tropical Strom Irene, the region came together to help neighbors and family rise from the waters and build again.

With Hurricane Sandy looming, the North Country prepared for a storm.

People purchased generators, batteries, stored safe drinking water and waited.

Most awoke to electricity and a clear path to work or school in the morning, but on the same morning New Yorkers to the south were trapped, unable to use the public transportation they rely on.

Traffic signals in Times Square were out and many lost their lives in the storm’s path.

By sending generators and able-bodied volunteers to the area, people began to show support in any way possible.

Local counties were prepared with emergency services on standby all night. Essex County was shut down and administrators were ready to call off school.

The members of the community learned a lot from Irene. In the aftermath of Irene we developed long term recovery agencies and organizations like Project Hope traveled throughout the area knocking on doors to help those in need.

In Vermont, the Disaster Relief Fund partnered with the “I am Vermont Strong” organization to create license plates that not only raised more than $600,000 for the victims of Tropical Storm Irene but also projected an outward bond amongst Vermonters.

“It showed solidarity throughout the state to see people with the plates on the front of their cars,” said Betsy Ide, executive director of the disaster relief fund.

Ide said that not everyone put the plates on their cars, but instead hung them on their walls to keep as a souvenir.

“People from out of state who couldn’t put the plates on their cars still bought them to show their support for other Vermonters,” Ide said. “That says a lot.”

The plates sell for $25 each, with $18 going to the relief fund, $2 going to the state food bank and $5 for production of the plates. The organization has sold 30,000 plates and generated $600,000 for

the relief fund, which is still helping those affected by Irene in 2011 Ide said.

Could New Yorkers unite in an outward show of solidarity to help everyone still suffering from Sandy? New York sustained about 35 percent of the total insured losses in Hurricane Sandy’s path, according to Curt Heintzelman, senior account executive of EQECAT, a company that connects insurance and the financial services of its clients.

About 35 percent of the total insured losses for Sandy are expected to come from New York, with early damage reports indicating significant coastal flooding. Of the total losses for Sandy, about 85 percent of the losses are from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Disaster-modeling firm EQECAT Inc. said the insurance industry is likely to pay out $10 billion to $20 billion, while it said the total cost of the storm would be between $30 billion and $50 billion.

Ide said most of the boom of financial support came in the months following Irene.

Though Sandy has dissolved off the coast, New Yorkers can show an outward wave of support either by passing legislation to allow New York drivers to have a plate put on the front of their cars for two years or find another way to outwardly keep the momentum going to support our neighbors.

Just as Vermonters declared “I am Vermont Strong” with the sale of shirts, posters, license plates and other products, this could be a time for New York to find a similar way to not only help neighbors have a dry and safe home for the winter but to also show other states that New Yorkers are Empire State strong.

It’s time to get back to work

O

ur production deadlines have me drafting this column prior to the outcome of the 2012 elections. Regardless of how the races turn out, the promises made, the twisting of the facts, the compelling arguments, the money spent and how you chose to vote, one thing is for sure it’s clear we’ve got much to do in the way of the people’s business and no time to waste rolling up our sleeves getting down to work.

Top on the list, regardless of the outcome of the Presidential election, it appears that 163 million American workers can expect a big increase in the taxes taken out of their paychecks come January. The temporary reduction in Social Security payroll taxes is due to expire at the end of 2012. Neither the Obama nor the Romney camps proposed an extension, both steering clear of any blame for increased taxes come 2013. Neither party feels the payroll tax holiday, put in place two years ago that was intended to be a temporary shot in the arm for the economy, has done much to stimulate the sluggish economy.

Providing cover for the Social Security reduction is the bigger question surrounding the future of the Bush-Era tax cuts which also expire at the end of 2012. Couple that with the pending sequestration due to take effect in 2013 and it’s clear that the government can no longer sugar coat the medicine. We must face and accept the reality of our financial crisis very soon. At the end of the day it’s time to suck it up and deal with these issues. On the fairy tale campaign trail politicians can always find creative ways to avoid answering the tough issues, and twist the truth as to who to blame, but once the election dust settles those left standing really should have no choice but to address these issues.

The retiring Social Security Payroll Holiday will affect every American worker at the rate of 2 percent of their wages while having the same impact on their employer. Congress has generously reimbursed Social Security for the lost revenue estimated to be over $215 billion the past two years. Of course, we all know that the country hasn’t had a budget for the last three years so that generous reimbursement has essentially been going on our credit card, increasing the country’s debt crisis.

The debt crisis leads us to the sequestration.

Since Congress was unable to work out any

form of compromise when the nation reached its most recent and yet another debt ceiling, sequestration was proposed by the Dan Alexander Obama negotiating Thoughts from team in an effort to Behind the Pressline force Republican Congressional members into accepting tax increases or face deep cuts to our military. The Republicans called the bet put in place by the Democrats nearly certain they would not allow deep cuts to social programs no more than they would allow the cuts to the military programs. Sadly when both sides play the game of chicken knowing neither wants the alternative but neither side wants to be the first to blink, well everyone ends up losing. The sequestration legislation forces massive cuts on both the military and non-defense spending programs. The inability of our government to come to an agreement that could be used by either side during the elections as caving in on their core principles will instead produce painful cuts to programs both parties strongly support. It’s no way to run a household, a business nor a government.

It’s plain stupidity and we’ve no time or stomach for any more childish behavior.

How the devastating affects of Super Storm Sandy will effect all this is yet another straw on the back of an already heavily strained economy and a government in denial of its impending doom. But with the election season now behind us we can only hope the form of cover Congress put in place as opposed to dealing with these critical issues can now be addressed by responsible parties who have committed to resolving the financial and employment problems that have plagued our nation for the past decade.

Let’s hope we’ve elected the right individuals who are up to the task of working across party lines and are willing to put the nation’s interests ahead of political gamesmanship. As a nation we are out of time, out of blame and out of money. We need solutions not tricks and gimmicks. The cliff is getting closer and the foolishness must stop.

Agrees with columns

Thoughts on ‘law’

To the Valley News: The Oct. 13 Valley News included a pair of good editorial pieces that are worth reading.

One is Dan Alexander ’s “ Viewpoint “ regarding America’s debt problem. Dan is absolutely correct on the details and the seriousness of this critical issue. People really must learn about how our debt will affect their future. It’s worse than most realize.

The other is Keith Lobdell’s “ The Tank,” which addresses a pair of politically correct issues. The currently popular vilifying of the rich and the overweight. I agree with Keith in that, I’d love to be rich. Be a fool not to.

Ken Fenimore, Elizabethtown

To the Valley News: I must throw my two cents into the fray and let my thoughts out on the word “law.”

The letter from the planning board has an intent to make town folks think that no laws are going to be created. I don't think it matters whether it is a law, rule or regulation, the result is the same, either you follow it or face the consequences. A letter from the code enforcement officer and then court could be your fate.

Maybe we have too many would be lawyers around and they think we are all fools, so please tell it how it is and not something that misleads.

While we are at it, I will bet that the chapter (5) that limits the planning document to the village will be erased from the “comprehensive plan,” and then those outside of the village will face this plan in the near future. Don't believe it when you are told that is not the way it will go. Insist on the inclusion on paragraph 5.01 in the new plan document. as this para. limits the document to the village.

The overall result of a larger plan will be more government interference in your lives and more costs to run the town. I hope all of you that are asleep wake up before that happens. Some of the folks in Willsboro have now seen the light as they now need permits for everything and pay for a full time code enforcement officer. Much more paperwork and a form for everything. Does our tiny town really need this?

Help with food drive To the Valley News: It’s that time of the year again when unity is formed in helping out those who may be less fortunate during the holiday season. For the second year in a row, I have been given the honor with coordinating the Annual Holiday Meal Basket Drive that offers families with children and senior citizens who reside in the Township of Jay or Black Brook a warm meal on Christmas Day. The outpour of support I received last year was overwhelming and hoping to receive it once again for the 2012 Christmas season. My goal is to provide holiday cheer in the means of a food basket. By doing so, the following items are needed and greatly appreciated: Turkeys, ready-made pies (Apple or Pumpkin), potato’s and non-perishable food items: Stuffing, canned vegetables, cranberry sauce, gravy and dinner rolls. Monetary contributions are certainly welcomed.

Economic times continue to be difficult for many but it is encouraging to see more and more citizens who are financially stabilized enough to provide a measure of holiday cheer to community members enduring financial hardships around Christmas time.

Anyone wishing to make a donation or are in need of a meal basket may contact me at 647-5763 or via email: kirish212@yahoo.com.

Dain Venne much more than a hero

I

t’s strange what comes to mind when news of a tragedy arrives. When I was awoken early Sunday with the news Dain Venne of Port Henry had been killed in Afghanistan, I immediately thought back to a winter day 20 years ago.

My daughter, Meaghan, and I had been invited to the town of Moriah sledding party by Brian Venne, Dain’s father, at the Moriah Country Club. Parents visited at the top of the hill as children flew down the slope.

That day, even at a tender age, it was obvious Dain Venne was special. He was fearless, constantly trying to go faster and faster in an attempt to make it to a small brook at the bottom of hill that parents were confident was out of reach. Also, he was kind, helping pull younger children back up the hill after each trip. And, he was fun.

Time-after-time Dain challenged his father and myself to a race down the hill. Finally, against better judgement, the old men — we’re much older today — could no longer tolerate the taunts. We raced.

With the snow packed down to almost ice thanks to hundreds of earlier trips, we flew down the hill — reaching the brook and crashing into it. While Brian and I tried to gather ourselves, Dain was declaring victory. He had won.

It turns out Dain almost always won. He grew into a top student and an outstanding athlete — he was an all-state linebacker

Town prepared for storm To the Valley News: On Monday volunteers from our Fire Department and Emergency Squad, along with workers from Highway Departments, the Hospital, School, Horace Nye Home, Police and Sheriff’s Department were preparing to protect us from the storm. I met them at briefings at the Public Safety building in Lewis, and in our Town Hall.

When I asked for help, Essex County Public Safety provided us with two generators for our school (the emergency shelter) in case the power went out. Deputy Fire Chief Jack Hanby, Senior Housing Director Marcella Denton and I planned how to take care of our senior citizens, especially those with medical needs.

The Fire Department offered cots, and school staff would keep the generators going.

Patty Doyle called with an offer of help from the Fire auxiliary. I learned that the only powered, and equipped Emergency Shelter near us is in the Town of Jay (Ausable Forks.)

Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas offered to shelter any E-town residents if we needed help. I called the folks whose homes had flooded last year and they all had made evacuation plans. Our Highway workers staged 200 sand bags for residents who would need them.

Monday evening I toured E-town and the only street traffic I saw were 6 deer crossing the road. We are very fortunate that Hurricane Sandy bypassed us, but TV coverage of the flooding in New York City brought back memories of last year. This year we had time to prepare. But when the sun is shinning it’s easy to forget how fast the rivers can rise.

Working together is the only way we can take care of our Town, our families and ourselves. The morning after Hurricane Sandy, I spoke with our School superintendent and Deputy Fire Chief. We began planning for the next disaster, which will come. We will all be safer when we work together. I want to thank all those dedicated hardworking people in our community who are there for us when we need them.

Margaret Bartley Supervisor Elizabethtown and led the North Country in rushing as a tailback his senor year at Moriah.

Coach Don Tesar called Dain the smartest and best linebacker he’s ever coached. He went to St. Lawrence University after graduating from Moriah Central School in 2001.

The world changed Sept. 11, 2001, for Dain and thousands of others. The 9-11 terrorist attacks called Dain to military service.

It was a decision that was hard on his parents, Brian and Laura, but they supported him — as they always did. That support came easier with the knowledge Dain truly believed he was doing his part of the make the world a better place.

Even when Dain came home to Port Henry, he did his part to help others. A member of the Port Henry Fire Department he was honored last year for heroism after he rescued several stranded victims during Tropical Storm Lee. Dain served a tour of duty in Iraq, which only made him more determined to continue his service. At every step family and friends were proud, but nervous — knowing Dain would never back down from doing the right thing regardless of the consequences. Those same traits displayed while

sledding as a child — fearlessness, kindness, humor — made Dain a role model for his community and soldiers under his leadership.

He was actually scheduled to be home on leave Nov. 3, but Dain decided to stay in Afghanistan rather than have his unit short-handed. That day Dain was killed along with Specialist Brett E. Gornewicz and Specialist Ryan P. Jayne by an improvised explosive device in Paktiya Province, Afghanistan.

According to the U.S. Department of Defense, the men were combat engineers protecting comrades by conducting “routeclearing” duties for a convoy when an IED blasted their vehicle.

Since the Afghan War began in 2001 2,146 American soldiers have died there, 282 this year. Every one has been a son, daughter, sister, brother, friend. Every one has been a hero.

Tributes are pouring in for Dain. The governor, elected leaders, community leaders, former teachers and coaches — everyone has something good to say about Dain.

Those who knew him best speak in broken voices, wiping away tears. That’s the way it should be.

Those accolades will soon be gone, though, and family and friends will be left to deal with the grief and loss. Fortunately, Dain left an amazing legacy to comfort his family and community. Others talk about service, Dain lived it. While the pain of his loss may never fade, neither will the love and pride he generated.

May God bless Dain and his family.

A

recent study revealed that men described as disagreeable or mean make 18 percent more money than their more agreeable peers.

Disagreeable women make about 5 percent more than their more agreeable peers.

Cornell Professor Beth Livingston found that disagreeableness is often rewarded in the workplace. Over twenty years of analysis and three

By Scot Hurlburt different surveys involving 10,000 respondents seem to confirm that being disagreeable or mean nets those individuals more money.

In addition, a study of four hundred and sixty business majors who were asked to consider information about a group of possible employees found that being nice was a factor in being chosen less often for possible employment. Potential employees who were described as arrogant or less trusting were more often chosen as managers than their more agreeable and trusting peers.

Another study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the story of the nerdy guy who goes on to make more money than the high school quarterback turns out to be untrue. Remember those “Revenge of the Nerds,” movies where the nerds make a lot of money and marry beautiful women and get revenge of their torturers, the popular kids? Sorry, that’s just a movie according to this researcher.

This information was based on research that followed Wisconsin high school students forty years after graduation in 1957.

Michael Denney from the Wall Street Journal found that, “popularity pays because those who learn to play the game in high school are practicing the skills that will also help them once they are in the workplace.”

These findings seem to be almost entirely at odds with what I want to believe is right or should I say righteous. I want to believe that in the end mean, selfish people lose out somehow, and of course they do but maybe not financially. Some of the meanest young people, boys and girls that I have encountered over the years have not been from poor or disadvantaged homes.

The meanest came from average or well positioned homes, not lacking in resources or opportunity.

It seems that many adults spend a good deal of time asking and or teaching children to “be nice.” Aren’t there signs, books, t-shirts and even programs that ask children to “practice random acts of kindness” or to “look out for each other?” Perhaps these misguided adults do not know that they may be dooming their young charges to a life of financial mediocrity.. So what if mean people make a little more money, who cares?

I guess this is where each of us must decide our individual truths. How far is each of us willing to go to be popular, wealthy, powerful, or considered successful. I have known people that were willing to do things that were dishonest, mean and unethical to arrive at what they called success. I still say that is important that we all strive for the triumph of goodness, decency and kindness especially in our dealings with young people.

The kids who learn to “play the game well” are at an advantage in some respects, however, these advantages have little to do with the mettle of their character. If you are one of those adults out there who insist on equal treatment for all the children before you, if you do not overlook pettiness or meanness between children, and if you believe that winning at all costs is not winning at all, I congratulate you for you are doing a noble thing. You are not just helping children that have not yet learned how to play the game but you are also helping to insure that there will always be people that care as much about the manner in which someone succeeds as the level of success that they enjoy.

Without you, our culture, our world could simply be run by the few that always know how to play the game.

Remember, all kids count.

Adirondack Futures present findings to the Essex County board

Dave Mason and Jim Herman presented the results of a study their organization had completed to members of the board, saying that there needs to be a balance in the Adirondack Park in order for it to thrive.

“The big question is the balance between protecting the environment and building the economy,” Herman said. “Our environment cannot be healthy and maintained if the economy fails in the park. We need to have public lands for recreation

mote not only tele-business but education.

“This plan does emphasize strengthening our communities,” Herman added. “We want them to be vibrant and thriving and we want them to attract new people to the park and we want them to be welcoming. Slight changes in zoning and APA regulations that allows for more clustering development that keeps things closer to the hamlets. Its time to stop talking about shutting down schools throughout the park and talk about networking the schools together.”

“It has made a big difference for our school system and it has made a big difference in the town,” Keene Supervisor William Ferebee said. “People have been able to stay here longer and spend their money locally.”

Herman said that a lot of their approach is in place with the North Country Economic Development Council.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava was reluctant to embrace the report.

“The facts are since the inception of the Adirondack park, only three manufacturing jobs have moved into the Adirondack Park,” Scozzafava said. “What the rest of the country has been going through, we have been going through for the last 40 years. The big problem when the bridge closed was that our constituents have to travel to Vermont for a job. Our tax base remains stagnant and why does it, because it is so hard to try and build a home here. Let's deal with all of the facts here. Our young people are leaving here. How do we retain people who have lived here for generations.”

“We have tried to put together a vision of the kind of business that we can attract here and the kind of business that can grow here,” Herman said.

“Yes, there has not been the growth and we have to fix that,” Mason added.

and the private lands for sustainability.”

Herman said that over 500 people participated in surveys and workshops to help them come up with their findings. Mason said that those who particated represented a range of people from both inside and outside the park, residents and tourists, longtime residents and newcomers.

“This was an attempt to look at the park and all of its various issues,” Mason said. “The whole park includes the communities and they should be as big of a draw as the forest preserve.”

Mason said that they found six areas to research: a wild park, usable park, sustainable life, Adirondack County, post big government solutions and an Adirondack State Forest.

Out of those, Mason said that the usable life and useable park options were the most well received.

“Sustainable life was the most desirable option in all of the meetings that we had with people,” Mason said. “It was on top of the list of desirability and attainability. A usable park was the second most popular.”

Herman said that self reliance is a key to a sustainable park.

“The whole idea is that we can become more self reliant,” he said. “We can have more of our money stay in the park and increase our economy without increasing our people, and we can lower our carbon footprint.”

Herman also talked about tourism.

“The tourism industry in the Adirondack Park is old and there has not been many upgrades,” he said. “There are not the amenities today here that visitors want. We need to attract a more diverse set of visitors. All these things mean that we need to change access in the forest preserve and have new kind of amenities in our communities.”

When it came to jobs, Herman said that the park has to take advantage of new technology, like broadband internet, to pro-

Ethics

Manning also said that the board recommended Shmulsky be re-appointed.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava agreed with Ferebee.

“So as these terms expire, if you are just going to rotate around and move them back in, I think there are other people and in fact I know there are other people that were interested in serving — well qualified people that were interested in serving on the Ethics Board and I agree that it should be advertised,” Scozzafava said. “I mean there is a reason why we put different staggered terms in there.”

Board Chair and Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas said he felt that the Ethics Board needed consistency in its infancy, along with prompting the strengths of Shmulsky.

“I have met with the Ethics Committee a couple of times over the last few year and they have put a lot of time and effort into this,” Douglas said. “I am not saying that there isn’t someone out there willing to do it but again he is an attorney. It takes a while for them to get up to speed on the rules and regulations of the Ethics Committee so I would say that I think it is in our best interest right now to stick with the recommendation of Mr. (Michael) Orticelle.”

Continued from page 1 22 Ways and Means Committee meeting, some concerns were raised that the position was not advertised.

“As the request letter to Mr. Douglas states, Mr. Shmulsky’s term has expired and I feel that any expired term should be advertised and letters of interest to be on this board should be received and evaluated to replace them,” Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee said.

County Attorney Dan Manning said he felt that Shmulsky deserved the chance to have another term since he was appointed to a one-year term when the board was first created.

“The local law provides for terms of one to five years and they are all staggered,” Manning said. “Mr. Shmulsky’s term was a one-year term, it is now up, so that means that everybody shifts down the line and he would have to take the fiveyear term so that is why they have recommended it. The local law also provides that a person may serve on the Ethics Board for two consecutive terms; that does not mean that you have to appoint him but that he may serve.”

Westport Supervisor Dan Connell said he felt that eventually there would be advertised positions but for now, the best option was to re-appoint.

“I think our thought as we went through this was that these would be advertised in the future but the first couple, because they were only going to be there a year or two years, would be reappointments,” Connell said. “I do agree as we go down the line that these need to be advertised, but I think for the first couple of years as we are getting into the full terms for people, I am going to support this reappointment.”

Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said she felt the recommendation of the committee chair was the key.

“In our town, we always take the recommendation seriously of the chairman of a committee,” Bartley said.

Douglas said that in the future, the county would look into advertising upcoming vacancies on the board, but would not for this one.

“As we move forward maybe it is in our best interest to advertise the next time a vacancy comes up,” Douglas said. “I really don’t think it is in our best interest to do that at this particular time.”

ECH Auxiliary to offer pies for Thanksgiving ELIZABETHTOWN — Elizabethtown Community Hospital’s auxiliary will be selling pies for Thanksgiving.

Now in its eighth year, the Thanksgiving pie sale is one of the auxiliary’s most popular fundraisers. The auxiliary produces cherry, apple and pumpkin pies for purchase by community members. Each pie costs $14 and comes boxed and labeled.

Last year, the group produced 98 pies.

“The pie-making process is quite a production,” laughed Laura SellsDoyle, auxiliary president. “But we really have an incredible, organized system. It’s quite an accomplishment to produce all those pies in only eight

hours. This year, we’d love to sell well over 100 pies.”

Orders for pies will be taken until 3 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 16. Payment is due when the order is placed. Pies are made on Tuesday, Nov. 20 and may be picked up in the hospital lobby on Wednesday, Nov. 21 from 2 until 4 p.m.

The Elizabethtown Community Hospital Auxiliary participates in fundraising efforts throughout the year; and proceeds go to support the hospital.

The group donates clothing and snacks to those who need emergency room care, offers care packages to chemotherapy patients, and gives gifts and flowers to patients in the hospital at Christmas. They also provide scholarship funding and purchase equipment for the hospital’s various departments.

Contact Jane Hooper to place an order at 873-3003.

s the holiday season approaches, many of our furry friends are dreaming of finding their new forever homes and celebrating with a family of their own. If you have an empty lap in need of a cat to keep you warm, or spot in front of the fireplace in need of a lounging dog, there is no better time to consider adopting one of our many pets. If your house is already full, why not consider a donation to the NCSPCA to help us continue our mission? Our organization is 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and all donations are tax-deductible. You can make a general donation, or contribute to one of our memorial funds, including the Anne Trachtenberg Hughes Healthy Cats & Dogs Fund (to support veterinary expenses of animals in our care); the Farnsworth Spay/Neuter Memorial Fund (to support the cost of spaying/neutering our animals); or a personal In Memory/Honor of a family member, friend, or pet who is special to you.

Eighty-five percent of our funding comes from private donations from people like you - we count on your support!

Our featured pet this week is Ferdinand, a handsome Bull Terrier mix who is about two years old, with a thick brindle coat, intense dark eyes, and four white

socks. He has a quiet temperament and is a real gentleman when being walked on a leash. However, don't let his suave manners fool you - he has a puppy-ish sense of humor when he is playing with other dogs, and can be quite the comedian when romping around with his best buddy, Baxter.

We think this guy would be a terrific family dog and would be thrilled to have some children to play with. Why not stop by the NSCPA today and meet this winsome fellow?

by Ian McWethy: 14 More Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview and Bad Actors Doing Bad Auditions, directed by Paul Mudie and Cathy Brankman.

First, you can test your sanity in an approved academic setting. When the Dean orders two college recruiters to find one more student to fill out next year ’s class, they find themselves revisiting the dreaded Wait List. The two recruiters sort through a variety of crazies in hope of finding one sane candidate.

Then you can take crazy to a whole new level of theatricality. A casting director has one day to find the leads for a community theatre production of Romeo and Juliet.

But what seems like a simple task proves impossible when the pool of actors includes extreme method actors, performers who just don’t know what to do with their hands, and one particular woman who may or may not think she is a cat.

The cast is made up of all our favorite people, including Charlotte Staats, Gabe Schrauf, Rachel Abrahamsen, Jack Newberry, Garrett Reynolds, Ashley Quaglietta, Josh Terry, Abbey Cramer, Harry Hudson, and Evan Viens.

You may be looking for a way to recover a semblance of normality afterward, and so you’ll probably want to come relax with a perfect glass of wine and some tasty goodies at the Westport Library Association’s annual Holiday Party and Silent Auction, on Nov. 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. There’s lots of great stuff to bid on, too, everything from a summer cottage for a June weekend, to wet suits, to wool rugs, to a delicious quiche brunch for eight people at DaCy Meadow Farm…plus, they’ll be raffling off a beautiful, 14-inch hand-turned wooden bowl by Ken Gadway.

And in this season of Thanksgiving, the folks at the Westport Heritage House have asked me to pass along their thanks to everyone who turned up to help at their recent volunteer work day (and thanks also to Ernie’s Market for providing the muffins).

AIRLINE CAREERS

ell Halloween is over and things were very quiet here in Willsboro, that was good and thank you for the group that had the community Halloween event at the local school. By the time you read this elections will be over and no more campaign advertizing, but now it will be to start flooding the air waves with Christmas things that we must give as gifts.

Reminder that the special diner and program honoring our veterans will be held on Sunday, Nov. 11 at the Willsboro School cafeteria site starting at 5:30 p.m. All Veterans that would like to attend you need to make reservations now call Vickie Dickerson 963-4459 or Stan Dickinson 963-7772 now.

Happy to see the progress at the Healing Garden's site down in the Memorial Cemetery, this past week the granite stone base for the angel was put into place, this is a big step in reaching their goal in quite a short time period. They will have a booth at the School craft fair on Nov. 17, where you can offer a donation or purchase some of their items.

The New Beginnings group that meets each month and enjoy a meal together, had stopped the breakfast gathering this summer; we have once again started to meet on the second Friday mornings at 8:30 a.m. at the Sportsmans Dinnette. So come join us this is a group that have lost their spouses

he peaks of the Jay Range have snow on them this morning, and our leaves are nearly gone except for a high bush cranberry in the garden.

Amy had given it a hard pruning with the hope it would die, but instead it sent up four foot shoots that have still green leaves near the ground and wine and pale yellow leaves at the tops. The Jay Range is the imposing massif to the west best seen from Vermont, a fortress of lower mountains guarding the high peaks. I’ve always thought the view of the Adirondacks from Vermont is much more interesting than our view of the Green Mountains, but then the Greens are part of the staid and predictable Appalachian chain, whereas the geologically unrelated Adirondacks are an edge of the hodge-podge Canadian Shield.

On Nov. 13, Colin Wells takes a look at “Gulliver ’s Travels” by Jonathan Swift.

This much-loved book about Mr. Gulliver ’s adventures has never gone out of print since it was first published nearly 300 years ago. Colin’s talk begins at 7:30 p.m.

pparently I not only needed information on the exact time BUT also the right day as well from Mary Anne Goff at the Keeseville Free Library. The next pre-school reading will be Tuesday, Nov. 13, at 10 a.m. “It’s Turkey Time” is the theme of this story time. My apologies to Mary Anne and column readers for my erroneous information last week. Again, everything done at the library is always done extremely well. As always, my many heartfelt thanks to Mary Anne and staff for providing our community with such a first rate library.

Another very exciting email that came my way is concerning an upcoming Keeseville Farmer ’s Market event. On Saturday, Nov. 17, from two to six p.m. there will be a holiday Market running in conjunction with the village sponsored lighting of the trees along Front Street. Anyone who was lucky enough to attend any of the summer ’s Farmer ’s Markets will know we are in for a great treat including music, re-

freshments and vendors selling fresh produce, evergreen wreaths, baked goods, jams, jellies, herbs, arts and crafts as well as many unique gifts for the season. The Holiday Farmer ’s Market will be occurring in the building next to the library as the building’s owner has graciously offered the indoor space and a chance for the public to see the restoration work. To add to the festive air Windows along Front Street will also be decorated including some done by local school children. Again if the summer was any indication, this will be a wonderful event, one I’m sure to get some great Holiday shopping done for myself.

My thanks to everyone involved in bringing this event to our community, Finally my thanks to all involved in the recent elections from the candidates, to the poll operators, to all the people who came out to vote. This is America at its finest, and I’m truly blessed to be an American and a Keeseville resident. Stay safe and well everyone and enjoy our freedoms; they’re well deserved.

Now is a great time to plant garlic, although I wouldn’t wait too much longer.

It’s also a good time to plant spring-flowering bulbs like tulips and daffodils. Follow the planting directions carefully, so if it says get the bulb three inches down, that means three inches from the top of the bulb to the ground level. Do not add bone meal to the planting hole, as that attracts dogs and other animals who will undo your efforts. It’s also a good time to plant amaryllis bulbs indoors for holiday gift giving.

On the vegetable farm, the last of the parsnips were dug and are now in storage.

Most of the summer employees are gone and the remaining ones are looking forward to getting out of town during the dark days of December. I’ve heard about trips to California, a cruise on a sail boat along the Gulf Coast and a ski bum who can’t wait to get to Utah’s powder. I plan to head south next week, to my usual stops in Alabama and Texas, and then home for what I hope will be a good snowy winter.

Mark your calendar for the big Willsboro Holiday Extravaganza on Nov. 16 and 17.

The traditional Sale and lunch at the Willsboro Methodist Church and the St.Philips Annual Holiday Sale and both of these sites there will be public soup lunches available.

The last couple of years the local School and the Farmers Market Group are also holding a large craft fair with some 40-plus venders and they will also have a lunch meal available. The proceeds from the booth rentals will assist the school's Bloomin Veggies Garden project which the students do each year. So not only will there be great crafts but also many of the Farmer's Market venders with vegetables, fresh turkeys, and other area meats. This year another popular entry is Ken Godaway's bakery that was desired this summer at the market day events. So plan to come, make a day of it, especially the three Saturday events, early shoppers can start on Friday evening at the Methodist Church 5 to 9 p.m., then have more time on Saturday.

Voters out early on Election Day

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com WESTPORT — The polls opened at 6 a.m. on Tuesday Nov. 6. At the Town offices in Westport four people were already there waiting to cast their vote for their candidates.

Sheila Borden, the Westport Town Clerk, came early to open up the building and was the first one to cast her vote for the presidential and local election at the polling station.

“I was honored to be the first person to vote, it’s good to see a lot of people taking the election seriously and getting out the door early to give support to their candidate,” Borden said.

Many of the people interviewed said they voted by their party all the way through the ballot. Even third party voters.

“I am a conservative, so I need to vote on my platform, even if there aren’t that many of us in this area, by voting I’m letting people know there are some of us out here,” Stephen McDonald said.

Though there were no candidates running exclusively on the Conservative ballot, McDonald said the Republican candidates were endorsed by the conservative party and believed the parties shared common values.

Though Democratic voters are lower in the Northern part of the state than statewide, Jennifer Moore said she chose to vote to reelect Obama based on the core values he represents such as his concern for foreign policy, his plan for economic recovery and social issues.

“I think he has the greater good in mind based on my own personal beliefs,” Moore said.

Some voters, who had previously voted against their party by voting for Obama in the 2008 election, voted against the incumbent for change.

“I’m voting for the economy, we have to vote for someone who believes in small businesses and put us on the right track,” Ofa Vaiciulis said. “I think Romney’s plan could be the answer.”

Vaiciulis, who is in the process of starting a small Adult Care and assisted living business said she hopes Romney’s plan can help her and others.

Roger Adams of Westport casts his vote on Nov. 6 for the candidates of his choice. Adams was one of the first to vote at the Westport polling site.

“I hope he can somehow find a way to reduce the deficit,” Vaiciulis said.

Some of the voters asked by the Valley News said they looked at their choices as limited by the two candidates.

“I had to choose the lesser of two evils, I wish there had been another option because I don’t feel the I would choose either if I had a choice,” Matt Taber said.

For the first time, ballot scanning machines were used for the presidential election.

Polling volunteer Sue Sherman said the machines have proven to be a huge advantage at the polling stations.

“The older punch card voting machines, sometimes the ballots would come out virtually unrecognizable,” Sherman said.

“With the new program the votes are scanned and dropped into the machine. If there is a problem with the machine we have the ballots to count.”

Some people have told Sherman they like the old system better but she said it was a good thing the voters had the last three years to get to know the system before it was used for the national election.

The polls closed at 9 p.m. and the winners were not yet announced by the Valley News’ press time on Tuesday.

Dain Venne Continued from page 1 Scozzafava said all flags in the town and village of Port Henry will fly at half mast in honor of Venne.

The Essex County Board of Supervisors honored Venne during its Nov. 5 meeting. Randy Douglas of Jay, board chairman, directed all county flags to be flown at half mast.

“I want to offer my deepest condolences on the loss of Dain Venne,” Douglas said. “The pride, honor and bravery with which he served deserves our respect. I hope they (parents) can find comfort in their son’s legacy of service.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo directed flags on state government buildings be flown at half-staff on Wednesday, Nov. 7, in honor of the fallen soldiers.

“Along with all New Yorkers, I mourn the deaths of Specialist Gornewicz, Specialist Jayne and Staff Sgt. Venne,” Cuomo said. “These young men were all volunteers who lived and worked in our communities and gave their lives for our great country. We extend our condolences to their friends, their families and their fellow soldiers.”

In 2011 Venne received the Firefighter Commendation Medal from the Port Henry Fire Department for his life saving actions while rescuing several stranded victims during Tropical Storm Lee. His father, Brian Venne, accepted the award on his behalf to a standing ovation since Venne was serving in Afghanistan.

“He was an outstanding firefighter, a perfect gentleman,” said Jim Hughes, Port Henry fire chief. “It’s a reflection on his family how he carried himself, very respectful to his fellow firefighters. You couldn’t ask for a better person, better son — an outstanding, overall good and decent human being. He took an interest in youth sports and education. He worked with kids and I was very impressed that he could reach out to a young mind and make an impression. He had an ability to teach and educate.”

Essex County Emergency Services Director Donald Jaquish, a Moriah resident, said Venne was an outstanding member of the community.

“He got a medal for helping rescue a child during the flood last year,” Jaquish said. “It’s very sad. He was athletic and a very good boy.”

A 2001 Moriah Central School graduate, Venne was an outstanding student and athlete. He was named to the 2000 all-state football team as a running back and linebacker by the New York State Sports Writers Association.

“He was a great, great kid — no, he was an outstanding man,” said Bill Larrow, Moriah Central School superintendent. “He was a true leader, a model student and someone the entire community looked up to.

“I really don’t know what to say,” he continued. “He was one of the very best. He believed in the military, he believed in his mission.”

Don Tesar, Moriah football coach, said Venne exemplified all the qualities he hopes to find in a player, student and person.

“He was Moriah football,” Tesar said. “He lived it his entire life. He practiced hard, played hard and demanded respect from opponents and teammates. He was a great football player and a great kid to be around. He made everyone and everything around him better. He was a real leader.”

Tesar said he and his coaches will discuss ways to honor Venne’s memory. The Vikings play in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D quarterfinals Saturday at 1 p.m. at Rensselaer in Schuylerville.

“The kids all know him because his mother is a teacher at school and they know what he accomplished,” Tesar said. “He’s a role model for our players today.”

Larrow said school administrators will meet to discuss a tribute.

“We want to honor Dain and his family,” Larrow said. “His mother is a member of our faculty. We’re all very close to the Venne family.”

Since the Afghan War began in 2001 2,146 American soldiers have died there, 282 this year.

AuSable Valley, Elizabethtown-Lewis girls; Lake Placid boys champs

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The AuSable Valley Lady Patriots, Elizabethtown-Lewis Lady Lions and Lake Placid Blue Bombers boys soccer program each claimed sectional championships at the Plattsburgh Sports Complex, part of a busy section A championship weekend.

Class C girls Going into halftime, the AuSable Valley Lady Patriots knew they were off.

They had controlled the tempo of the game throughout the first 40 minutes of the Section VII/Class C girls title game Nov. 1 against Northern Adirondack, but were locked in a tight, 0-0 contest.

The Lady Pats figured it out during the intermission, scoring three times in the final 40 minutes while holding a 15-4 overall shot advantage and forcing 14 corner kicks compared to one for the Lady Bobcats in earning the 3-0 win.

“Coach talked about us working harder and working together as a team,” Meghan Strong, who scored the first goal of the game in the 54th minute, said.

“We were not really connecting in the first half,” captain Rachel Knapp said. “We had good chances, but we were just not able to finish. We knew how important this game was and that we needed it to click in the second half.”

“We really didn’t do what we wanted to in the first half,” head coach Bruce Bourgeois said.

“We knew that NAC was going to come out and hustle, but we knew too if we could get the ball deep, then we would pin them back on defense.”

That was exactly what happened to start the second half, as the Patriots controlled play for the first 14 minutes. In the 54th minute, Knapp hit her second consecutive corner kick on an offensive attack for the Pats, arcing the ball high

in front of the Bobcats net.

“All I was looking for was a head to come up and strike it,” Knapp said.

That head was Strong’s.

“It was a beautiful ball and I tried my best to get it right on goal,” Strong said. “It was a very important goal. That is what got our spirit up knowing that we could score.”

“She is one of the tiny ones, but she gets some air,” Knapp said about Strong. “It was a great goal because after that, we got the momentum going.”

Ten minutes later, Strong was on the giving end, gaining possession of the ball and putting a cross in on the NAC net, finding the head of Taylor Saltus.

“It was great to see her head come up and hit the ball,” Strong said.

“I was just trying to get a good head on the ball,” Saltus said.

Bourgeois was very impressed by the pair of goals.

“We have not had two head-ball goals all season,” he said.

“They were beautiful Nzoni Thomspon defends against Seton Catholic as Haile Thompson follows the goals. Oh, my God, they were beautiful play.

goals.”

Saltus found her name in the scoring column again in the 75th minute, as Maddy Rondeau passes a ball toward goal that Saltus made a diving play on with her feet for the score.

The Patriots then played with a defensive set for the rest of the game, as the Bobcats recorded three of their four shots in the final five minutes.

“The defenders played awesome as usual,” Bourgeois said. “Bryce Douglass was great in goal. Sumra Sikandar, Logan Snow, Priscilla Coats, Sierra Snow and Tiffany Evans allow me to rotate and adapt to what we need to do on defense and they played a great game.”

Douglass finished with four saves, while Bobcat goalie Stephanie Snide recorded seven in the loss.

The Bobcats best scoring chance came in the first half when Magan Magee appeared to beat out Logan Snow for a breakaway opportunity.

However, officials called that Magee tripped Snow, ending the threat.

The Patriots next play in Plattsburgh on Election Night, Nov. 6, facing either Tupper Lake or Canton in the regional semifinals.

Class C boys The time has come for Lake Placid boys varsity soccer.

Haile Thompson scored goals in the 35th and 68th minutes as the Blue Bombers earned their first-ever Section VII/Class C boys soccer championship, beating Seton Catholic 2-0 on Nov. 1.

“It’s unexplainable. It feels great,” Thompson said. “I am never going to forget this, that’s for sure.”

“My job at the beginning of the season was to win two games,” head coach Stuart Hemsley said. “The two games we had to win were the

semifinals and finals of sectionals to put a banner on the wall that they have never done in the history of the school.”

While the Bombers controlled possession throughout most of the first half, it was a counter attack out of the Knights end of the field that opened up the scoring. Kegan Barney put a ball in toward the Seton net, and Thompson was able to collect the rebound and score the opening goal of the game.

“We have been moving the ball pretty well,” Thompson said. “We have had a solid defense that clears the ball out and we have been able to capitalize on solid chances.”

Hemsley said that he joked with his team about the nature of the goal.

“I asked them, how do you like that scrappy goal,” Hemsley said. “A goal is a goal. It does not go down Lake Placid one scrappy goal one good one; it goes down as Lake Placid 2-0.”

Thompson scored again in the 68th minute, connecting with his head on a corner kick by Andrew Meister.

The Bombers ended with a 20-9 advantage in shots, with Knights goalie Keagan Briggs making 10 saves and Chris Korzdiel recording four saves to earn the clean sheet. The Bombers also held a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks.

Thompson said that the title was a goal of the team, which has been progressing since his sophomore year.

“A lot of us as seniors have been playing together on varsity since sophomore year and we have been progressing really well over those three years and coming together,” he said.

“I teach them the way that I learned the game and the way that I played the game,” Hemsley said. “We have got a lot of raw talent and some fast kids. You add talent to speed and you can beat any team in any one game. I wanted to make them better and we were able to be better than our section right now.”

However, Hemsley said that he was hoping for improvement as the team prepares for the regional finals, to be played at Plattsburgh High on Saturday, Nov. 10, at noon.

“It will be a little bit better than it was tonight, I hope,” he said. “We played a little bit too much in our end.

Hemsley added that he was looking forward to the regionals and always gets excited when it comes to tournament play.

“It’s cup football, and we love cup football back home,” he said. “I was a giant killer back home. I don’t think that we did any giant killing here, but next week we start going after some teams that no one knows and maybe we can start doing some giant killing.”

Class D girls For the past two years, the Chazy Lady Eagles have dominated the state in Class D soccer.

For the last eight years, they have done the same in Section VII. Both streaks came to an end Nov. 3, as the Elizabethtown-Lewis Lions got goals from Kylee Cassavaugh and Jasmine Barnes to score a 2-0 win over the consecutive two-time state champs.

“There’s not even words to describe - you want to cry you are so happy,” Kearsten Ashline, who made six saves to earn a clean sheet in goal, said. “We had a lot of support and we played like a team all season long.”

McCormick earns two sectional titles for AuSable Valley in the pool

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE — The Plattsburgh High girls swim team earned the Section VII title Nov. 3 in the AuSable Valley pool while eight swimmers from PHS and AuSable Valley punched their tickets to the NYSPHSAA meet.

The Hornets scored 421 points in winning the sectional title, almost doubling second place finisher Peru 223. AuSable Valley finished third with 220 points, while Moriah was fourth with 166 points.

Seven of the eight individuals heading to the state meet were from Plattsburgh, with Amanda Leonard, Alexis Kelley and Brooke Kelley each earning two individual titles and two relay titles.

“I started crying (after my first race) but I knew that I had to keep going,” Leonard, a junior who won the 50 and 100 free along with being part of the 400 free and 200 medley relay, said. “It was a real competitive field and I knew I would have to have a good time.”

“They have been working off each other every day in the pool,” PHS head coach Jay Ruff said about his team. “Most of their times are very close, and it is good to see that work pay off.”

The host Patriots were not shutout at their meet, with eighth-grader Emily McCormick winning the 200 and 500 freestyle events.

“She is a worker,” AVCS head coach Andy Johnson said. “Every day she puts in the time and works harder than anyone else.”

“It’s awesome and I am really happy that I did it,” McCormick said. “My goal was to have a good race and I just wanted to be my personal best time. This is a really big deal for me.”

ELIZABETHTOWN — Seton Catholic’s Margaret Champagne defended her Section VII individual cross country title Nov. 2, while Jeriqho Gadway of Plattsburgh High scored his first title at the Cobble Hill Golf Course.

“I had more racing experience and I knew what I wanted to do,” Champagne said about her second title. “I really like this course with all of the hills. I wanted to go out hard and try to keep ahead of everyone.”

Champagne crossed the line in a time of 18:05, 25 seconds ahead of Peru’s Ashley Leta.

“The beginning was easy, in the middle of the ace the hills were hard,” Gadway said.

“The second time is a little difficult going up the hill. It is a really nice course.”

Gadway Nina Armstrong said that he had rolled an ankle training for the event, but he still ran a dominating race, crossing the line in 15:14, 12 seconds ahead of Mitchell Ryan of Seton Catholic.

Champagne said she was prepared to return to states.

“I am really excited and I am just going to try and do my best there,” she said.

Team championships went to Peru in Class B, Saranac in Class C and Seton Catholic in Class D. Peru was the top team at the meet.

After Champagne and Leta, the top 10 finishers included Melissa Whyman (Seton), Nina Armstrong (Lake Placid), Meghan Mazella (Peru), Lexi Blockson (Saranac), Maria Remillard (Peru), Cheyanne Dobozy (Peru), Gabby Armstrong (Lake Placid) and Elizabeth Uliva (Peru).

PLATTSBURGH — The Beekmantown Eagles made it through their second straight Section VII season without dropping a single set, capturing the Class B title with a 2511, 25-9 and 25-16 victory over the Peru Indians Nov. 3 at Clinton Community College.

“We played very well,” Eagles head coach Shana Hileman said. “Peru came out serving tough and really tested our serve-receive game and that was good for us. We got a lot of first touches to the target.”

Hileman said the team put in a lot of work to win their 51 straight sets in league and sectional play.

“They did a lot of work in the off-season and a lot of it is starting to pay off,” Hileman said. “Shannon Ryan has gotten a lot stronger as a hitter and we remember the feeling last year when Johnstown got to 25 before we did. When we get into the gym, there are no excuses.”

Kendra Lafountain had seven digs for the Eagles, while Michaela Lafountain had 16 assists and four kills, Shannon Ryan had nine kills and Emily Anderson had nine aces and 4 digs.

Brittany Kelso had four aces for the Indians, with Lea Perry adding six assists.

Class C The AuSable Valley Patriots completed the season sweep of the Plattsburgh High Hornets with a four game, 25-14, 25-18, 20-25, 25-16 victory to claim the Class C title.

“This was our goal from the end of last season,” Patriots head coach Sandra Hoey said. “This is what we were shooting for and the girls worked hard all year to get this ti-

“I know that I can trust all of the girls on my team,” senior setter Belle O’Toole said.

“We have been practicing hard and improving all season.”

O’Toole finished with 26 assists and eight digs while Noelle Miller had 14 kills and five aces; Lindsay Brown had seven kills and digs; Miranda Sheffer had nine digs, eight kills and seven aces; Shelby Bourgeois had seven kills; Alexandra Lincoln 18 digs; Miranda O’Neill nine digs, eight aces and seven kills; and Mirissa O’Neill eight digs.

kills and four blocks.

Class D The Northern Adirondack Bobcats took Lake Placid’s best shot in the first game, edging out a 25-23 win before winning the next two games, 25-18 and 25-16, to earn the Class D crown.

Shonni Velazquez had five digs and four kills for the Bobcats, while Hannah Charland adding eight kills, six aces and five digs; Emma Trombley 11 assists; MacKenzie Fountain eight assists; Zoey Varin seven kills and Olivia Barnaby five digs.

Lindsey Howe had four kills and three aces for the Blue Bombers, with 10 digs for Taylor Maiorca and six kills for Serina Hayes.

Red Storm remain undefeated; Lumberjacks fall CLINTONVILLE — The Peru Indians, Saranac Lake Red Storm and Moriah Vikings reminded their respective Section X foes which side used to own the Northern Football Conference Nov. 3.

The day started in Clintonville, as the Red Storm scored 35 unanswered points to turn a 7-6 edge into a 42-12 trouncing of Ogdensburg Free Academy.

Matt Phelan continued his impressive season as the Storm signal-caller, connecting for three touchdown passes while running for another.

Phelan connected with Kevin Morgan from 10 yards out to open the scoring after OFA deferred on the coin toss to give the Red Storm a 7-0 lead. After OFA scored to cut the lead to 7-6, Phelan again found Morgan for a 65yard scoring play. Phelan closed out the scoring in the first quarter with a 40-yard run while closing out his team’s scoring in the third quarter on a 34-yard pass to Seth Pickreign.

Phelan finished 12-for-14 passing for 256 yards and three scores while rushing for a total of 26 yards. Morgan finished

Lance Ackerson added 30 yards rushing anc scored from 15 and three yards out in the second quarter.

In the nightcap, the Peru Indians broke open a 7-0 game at halftime with 28 points in the second half, 21 in the final quarter, to score a 35-0 win against Franklin Academy.

Soccer Continued from page 18 “We had our ups and downs all season and fought hard to make it here,” Barnes said.

“It’s awesome - there’s no other feeling like this,” Cassavaugh said.

“I don’t know how to describe it,” head coach Steve Denton said. “They played awesome today. We needed to win all of the 50-50 balls against this team and we did.”

One 50-50 ball the Lions won came in the 20th minute, when Katie Decker settled a goal kick from Chazy and got the ball to Cassavaugh, who hit the ball low to the left side post.

“I am supposed to stand at the top of the box in case there is a mis-hit,” Cassavaugh said. “I was looking for the shot. Coach tells us to shoot from outside the 18. I was thrilled when it went in.”

Following the goal, Cassavaugh went from striker to sweeper, playing defense for the rest of the game.

“We talked about doing that, but I did-

Four different players scored five times on the ground for the Indians, with Hunter Bruno scoring from two and one yards, totaling 49 yards from scrimmage.

Mackenzie LaRocque scored the opening touchdown from 12 yards in the first quarter. He finished with 92 rushing yards.

“Kylee has such a knack for the ball and such great feet,” Denton said. “We work on finishing chances all the time and tonight we were able to twice.”

The second came in the 66th minute, when the Lions attacked into the Eagles penalty box off a throw in. Crystal Grady was able to get a shot off, and the deflection found the foot of Barnes.

“I was hoping for a chance,” Barnes said. “I saw the opening, took the shot and I was able to get a foot on it.”

“They made the opportunities happen and we couldn’t,” Chazy head coach Karin Sherman Trombley said. “It’s hard to beat a good team three times in a season. We have a young team and had a long road. Anything can happen in the post season.”

The Lions held a 3-0 shot advantage in the first half, but were out-shot 10-2 in the second. Both teams had three corner kicks.

Rivelino Hendrix closed the scoring for the Indians in the fourth quarter, totaling 25 yards rushing.

Quarterback Blake Altizer finished six-of 14 for 57 yards, a low total for Section VII’s top passer, but did not throw and interception as the Indians ran for a total of 274 yards and all five scores.

In Class D, the Tupper Lake Lumberjacks and Moriah Vikings played a defensive thriller in the first round of the state regional tournament, with the Vikings scoring at the end of the third quarter to earn a 12-7 victory Nov. 2 in Massena.

Jeremy Roussel had 46 yards rushing for the Lumberjacks, who finished the season at 3-7.

Mitch Keniston was 11-for-22 passing for 117 yards and one score, finding Brock Tarbox on a 29 yard pass play to give the team a 7-6 lead with less than two minutes remaining in the second quarter. Tarbox finished with 78 receiving yards.

Cold weather heats up the Big Game Hunting Season

T

he landscape has begun to take on a decidedly winter-like cast, as a fresh covering of snow recently secured a white cap atop most of the peaks in the upper elevations.

Snow cover is a most welcome occurrence for big game hunters, as it serves to record the tracks, traffic and behavior patterns of numerous animals, especially whitetail deer.

Last week’s rain and high winds served to denude the hardwoods as it opened up the woods. The lingering leaf cover will likely fall soon, as cooler temperatures and additional snowfall combine to knock foliage to the ground.

The fresh snow cover is most welcome, as it records travel patterns and offers a contrasting background to highlight the natural brown camouflage of a whitetail.

As usual, heavy frosts will produce noisy ground cover and leaves will crunch loudly whether under boots, or hooves.

The annual rut appears to be in full swing, and scrapes and buck rubs are springing up nearly everywhere. Over the next two weeks, bucks will be chasing does as the look for love in all the wrong places. It is the peak of the season for deer hunters. DEC records indicate the majority of antlered deer are typically harvested during the timeframe of the first two weeks of November.

To date, I’ve also been getting reports from a lot of local hunters about a number of unexpected camp pests they’ve been encountering already this season.

Finding a mouse in the house, or a few at hunting camp is not unusual occurrence. It is to be expected especially during this time of year when mice populations are booming all over the North Country. Traditionally, such an explosion would not be cause for alarm, especially since colder weather drives the critters to seek shelter indoors.

However, mice are no longer to be considered just an annoying little nuisance. Typically they pilfer crackers or crumbs from under the picnic table, or chew up a few napkins to make a next. However, it turns out mice can actually

be deadly!

Recently, DEC confirmed a hiker’s claim that he contracted the Hantavirus as a result of a mouse bite. Reportedly, he was bitten on the finger while camping during the summer months. The leanto where the incident occurred is located in the High Peaks Mice are vectors for the transmission of Hantavirus, which was responsible for a number of fatalities in the Four Corners region of the Southwest. Center for Disease Control officials believe mouse urine, saliva and feces can spread the virus. It can be contracted through contact or simply by breathing the dust.

Deer mice are to be found all across the country, primarily in the woodlands. So it should come as no surprise that residents of rural areas account for over three quarters the infections nationwide.

Compounding the danger of the outdoors is the ever increasing threat of Lyme disease. There appears to be an unusually high incidence of deer ticks this season. I’ve already had to pluck a few ticks off myself.

Numerous hunters have complained about the problem, which appears to be much worse in the Champlain Valley than in the Tri Lakes region.

The apparent increase in tick populations has been attributed to the increasingly warmer weather, and the popularity of taking the family along on vacation.

Autumn is considered high season for adult deer ticks, since it is the season when nymphs begin to morph into adult ticks. Typically they require blood prior to the beginning of cold weather dormancy.

However, ticks do not hibernate and they are active as long as temperatures remain above freezing. There is a public misconception that they disappear in cool weather, but ticks are active when the weather stays above freezing. Adult ticks can emerge on warm days in autumn, winter or spring and can attach themselves to clothing or to fur at any time. Although the nymphs are believed to be responsible for a majority of Lyme disease cases, infected adult ticks can also pass on the disease.

However, ticks and mice aren’t the only pests hunters have had to deal with this season. Prior to the recent cold snap, it was not uncommon to battle swarms of mosquitoes while enjoying an afternoon watch. Of course, mosquitoes are known to carry the West Nile virus. It’s difficult to remain still and

quiet while on watch when there are mosquitoes orbiting your head.

Be careful out there

With the peak of the whitetail deer breeding season set to occur over the next few weeks, it is an especially important time to keep an eye on the road.

According to claims data prepared by State Farm Auto Insurance, there are an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 deer-vehicle collisions that occur throughout New York State this year. Most of the accidents will occur between October and December. Deer are most active during the early evening hours, and with darkness now arriving before the afternoon commute, it is especially important to pay attention.

Although the number of miles driven by U.S. motorists over the past five years has increased by just 2 percent, the number of deer-vehicle collisions has grown by over 20 percent during that same timeframe.

While Adirondackers commonly joke about hitting a deer, jump-starting a truck or learning how run a chain saw before reaching puberty, in reality it is no joking matter. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, deer-vehicle collisions in the U.S. cause about 200 fatalities each year. The average damage to a car or truck is $3,103. If you observe a deer crossing the road, slow down. Deer tend to travel in groups., so pay heed to deer crossing signs. Signs are posted for good reason, typically along historic deer funnels.
