CROWN POINT — Hundreds of people lined up to cross the new $76 million Lake Champlain Bridge Monday, Nov. 7 — bicyclists, walkers, runners and, finally, the motorists.

First they had to get past New York Lt. Gov. Robert

Duffy, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin and a group of VIPs giving speeches and cutting a golden ribbon. Once the hourlong ceremony was over, around 3:30 p.m., the podium was removed, the white chairs stacked against the guard rail, and the crowds streamed across the bridge to Vermont.

It had been more than two years since the 1929 bridge

closed here on Oct. 16, 2009.

Commuters and visitors had to take a free ferry to get between Crown Point, N.Y. and Addison, Vt. when the service opened on Feb. 1, 2010. The loss of the old bridge was described multiple times as “an inconvenience.”

While politicians lamented the old bridge — remembered

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com E L I Z A B E T H TO W N — A packed Old Courthouse at the Essex County Government Center watched as the supervisors gave their opinions.

There were some rounds of applause, some mumbling from the back rows, and the occasional loud moan as the 18 supervisors discussed the resolution that would allow the county to enter into an agreement with Marcus and Millichap to seek the potential sale or lease of the Horace Nye Nursing Home in Elizabethtown.

When the talking was over, the supervisors voted 2,065 (72.6 percent) to 778 in favor of the motion, easily earning the two-thirds weighted vote needed for the resolution to carry.

New Russia residents tell USPS rep they are against post office closure

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Residents from the hamlet of New Russia had the chance to let the United States Postal Service know how they feel about their post office.

They also heard about the timetable that may decide the fate of the facility during a Nov. 1 meeting with the manager of post office operations for the Albany District of USPS, Dan Cronin.

“We were assigned to do studies for the

potential discontinuation of services or closure on the New Russia Post Office,” Cronin said to the crowd of 52 who packed into the Elizabethtown town offices.

“I told you there would be more than a few,” remarked New Russia Postmaster Margaret McCoy. Cronin said there are a total of 40 offices in the Albany District that are part of the more than 3,700 offices nation-wide that are being studied for potential closure. Other sites include North Hudson, Bakers Mills, Ellenburg, Rainbow Lake and Moriah Cor-

ners.

Cronin said he has done 15 community forums so far, and that the meeting is a chance for people to speak out about their post office.

“It’s your chance to state your case,” Cronin said. “This kind of crowd does have an impact. We know how many people show up here compared to the number of customers that we have in New Russia.”

Those in attendance at the meeting stressed that they felt that the office should remain open for various reasons, including the basis of the post office as a community center and the friendly hours for those who use the services.

Cronin said all of the comments would be made part of the permanent record and the study that is ongoing about the New Russia site, with Lake George Acting Postmaster

Jodi Finnegan taking minutes for Cronin throughout the meeting.

Ultimately, Cronin said there is a timetable of between 120 to 150 days following the public forum for the fate of the New Russia Post Office to be decided.

“After this community meeting, there will be a proposal written in the next few weeks with a recommendation on whether it should stay open or not and what alternatives for the service should be if it were to be closed,” Cronin said. “That will be posted for 60 days in the New Russia Post Office for a comment period. It all then goes to headquarters in Washington and then there will be a 60-day notice with a 30-day window to appeal.”

About 52 residents packed the Elizabethtown Hall to hear about the pot ential future of the New Russia Photo by Keith Lobdell Post Office Nov. 1.

College students learn about Professor Rowdy and Mr. Holzhauer ELCS teacher tells about teaching with therapy dog

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Students in the Council for Exceptional Students at SUNY Plattsburgh were excited to meet their guest of honor at a Nov. 3 event, and maybe give him a little rub behind the ears.

The guest was Rowdy, who for the last eight years has teamed with ElizabethtownLewis math teacher Ralph Holzhauer to help students at the school in reading and writing.

Holzhauer said he was used to the attention going to his four-legged partner.

“I’ve gotten used to walking through the halls and the kids saying hi to Rowdy but not to me,” Holzhauer told the group of students and others who attended the presentation at the Angell Center on the PSUC campus. “I’m just the math teacher on the other end of the leash.”

Holzhauer said that Rowdy, a Newfoundland, has been trained in numerous areas and has received Versatile Newfoundland recognition.

“It’s like being named to the hall of fame for his breed,” Holzhauer said.

Holzhauer talked about how Rowdy is used with students in the elementary classes with dog-assisted education and therapy, including reading and writing programs,

its great in the morning when you have a math student who may not be quite awake and to watch them jump when he barks.”

Holzhauer said school officials have been very excited about how Rowdy has helped out and gave examples of how he was able to Elizabethtown-Lewis math teacher Ralph Holzhauer and Rowdy talk about the experi- help students ence of having a therapy dog at the school t o members of the Council for Exceptional in writing and reading.

“At first, one of the concerns for the kids Holzhauer also said older students have was coming up with the big kids,” been able to read to Rowdy in their foreign Holzhauer said. “I don’t know how he does language classes. it, but Rowdy always knows when they are “Some of the kids who read to Rowdy in coming and will announce their presence elementary school convinced their French with a bark or two and that helps. Of course,

Holzhauer also gave an example of how the program had worked with writing.

“The first year of this, I had the second grade teacher coming up to me with tears in her eyes, asking me to read a story a student had written,” he said. “It was a long story about Rowdy. Then she told me that it was the first time that this student had ever written anything in class.”

Over the last eight years, Holzhauer said he thought every student in the school had at one time or another had personal interactions with Rowdy, whether through reading in the little section of the high school math classroom or in other areas of the school day.

“I have been teaching for 36 years,” Holzhauer said. “After eight years with Rowdy, I honestly can say that I do not remember what it was like without him.”

Sean Sullivan, a junior at Plattsburgh State and president of the Council for Exceptional Students, who organized the event, said they were interested in how Holzhauer and Rowdy had worked together in school.

“We found out through Connie Marsh (advisor to the council) about Ralph and Rowdy and the way that Rowdy is used to help in the school,” Sullivan said. “I think that it is a very valuable tool and kids like the interaction with the dog.”

ur town Beautification Committee plans to raffle gift baskets at the upcoming Christmas in the Village festival to raise funds for the purchase of next spring’s plants and flowers.

They are looking for donations of good quality, non-perishable items for inclusion in the baskets. Please drop off your raffle items at the library on Nov. 17 or 18, from noon to 5 p.m. Christmas in the Village will be held this year on Dec. 2, 3 and 4.

More about this later.

This Friday evening, Nov. 11, the Whallonsburg Grange will present a reading by poets Elaine Sexton and Roger Mitchell, and a conversation with Essex landscape painter Edward Cornell about the importance of place in art. It starts at 7:30 p.m. and will also feature a display of paintings and a book sale.

The film society is showing “Small Farm Rising” on Saturday Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. in the Willsboro School auditorium. This is a well received documentary about three local farms, including Essex Farm, and the film maker will be on hand for a discussion afterwards.

If I may trespass a bit on my neighbor

Colin’s turf, the Wadhams Free Library will offer a talk on William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It”, the influences of the local environment on this play, and a history of London’s Globe Theater. The speaker is writer Joshua Calhoun, who grew up in Essex County and is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Delaware. This is on Wednesday, Nov. 16, and starts at 7:30 p.m.

On Thursday, Nov. 17, the Grange will have a talk on the history of farming in the Champlain Valley. This is presented by Anita Deming and Andrew Alberti. Anita is the long-time director of Cornell Cooperative Extension in Essex County and an expert on almost all matters agricultural. As an aside, cooperative extension is a function of most ag schools like Cornell’s, where university research is distilled and turned into practical information for use by the public. The cooperative part is between the college, the extension staff and in this case farmers, who all learn from one another. Extension refers to the transmittal of this information. In addition to agricultural pursuits, the extension service also provides programs on nutrition and for kids, 4-H.

allelujah—the gorgeous new Champlain Bridge is open! How excellent that all those deprived Vermonters will now have a chance to reconnect with God's own country. Rejoice!

I'm writing on Monday, Nov. 7, which, according to North Country Public Radio's superb web site (which I often check with for local news), is the opening day. I'm sure they'll still be following the story by the time you read this.

As you know, we in Westport are unusually blessed in having two libraries, both of which are hosting some attractive upcoming events. At the Wadhams Free Library, the fall Wednesdays in Wadhams lecture series continues with Josh Calhoun, who is getting his Ph. D. in English at the University of Delaware and specializes in Elizabethan literature. Josh grew up in Schroon Lake and now lives in Keene, where he contributes to Adirondack Life and will offer a community education course this winter called "Shakespeare Out Loud."

At 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, Josh will give a talk at the Wadhams Library entitled "As You Like It, the Globe Theater,

and Why the APA Would Have Hated Shakespeare." Deforestation, timber shortage, stolen lumber—not what usually comes to mind when you think of Shakespeare. Josh will start with the backstory to Shakespeare's Globe Theater, a timberframe playhouse that was rebuilt with stolen, recycled lumber floated across the Thames. Then he'll show how the play As You Like It was shaped by the environment in which it was first performed.

Then from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, the Westport Library Association will host its annual Silent Auction, Holiday Party, and Winetasting fundraiser. They'll have scrumptious hors d'oeuvres, including baked ham, cheese, and dips, along with a fabulous selection of fine international wines. The taste sensations provide a backdrop to the silent auction, where you can bid on a new Kindle Fire, an iPod Nano, season tickets to the Depot Theatre, a season pass to Cascade X-C Skiing, and other tempting items. And make sure you buy raffle tickets for Ken Gadway's exquisite 12-inch hand-turned cherry bowl, which are available at the Westport Library. The winner will be drawn during the party.

hat a difference an hour can make. Every weekday morning I walk a ways first thing in the morning in order to catch my transportation into Plattsburgh for work. For the past couple of weeks it has been dark and rather dreary walk. I just had my first morning walk since daylight savings ended and what a change. The sun is coming up and the sky is nice and bright which certainly added a pep to my step.

I want to congratulate the winners of the elections this week. I commend you all for stepping forward and making it a personal responsibility to take care of our community and I wish you well in your endeavors.

I also thank those that did not win for at least coming forward and offering me and the rest of the community more options to our voting. I hope you will continue to work for the best of our community as well.

I received an email from Steven Engelhart the Executive Director of the Adiron-

dack Architectural Heritage. On Wednesday, Nov. 9, at 4:30 p.m. in the Ausable Valley Grange Hall there will be another meeting with regards to the revitalization of Keeseville. According to Engelhart the October meeting was well attended and much was accomplished. The agenda for the November meeting includes specific strategies and actions that the community can take to make the village a better place to live, to visit, and to do business. I truly find that Keeseville has a wonderful potential and this is exactly the kind of thing we need to bring that potential to actuality. Even if you were unable to attend the meeting I strongly encourage you to get involved with this endeavor. You can do this by contacting Engelhart by phone at 834-9328 or by visiting the Adirondack Architectural Heritage at 1745 Main Street, Keeseville.

Quiet week for the birds and chipmunks in my feeder giving Jazz, my cat, a well deserved rest. I’m doing my best to follow suit. Have a great week everyone and stay safe and well.

alloween is now behind us and as far as I could observe it was a quite one around town. I did not see many tricks around town. Time to move on and this past week a couple of new things in town, a new roof is being put on the Museum, it was greatly needed.

I hope it was a reliable source that work could be starting soon on the remodeling of the old school into housing for Senior citizens. Another addition to the community was the dedication of the new sign at the Gililland Cemetery. This is a double faced sign, one side states the name of the cemetery and the other side honors those that have served in the Military, some of whom are buried there. Larry Allen gave credit to all that assisted in making this sign a reality, the school art Dept., Adirondack Wood Products, a couple of town workers, and the cemetery committee.

Those in attendance for the un-veiling were invited by the owner Trish Sheehan to come over to “Johnny’s” Restaurant for refreshments and lunch after the ceremony, many thanks to all it was a welcome addition to our community.

We are proud of our local High School soccer team they had a great season and

did go on to the sectionals. The team they had to play against was another one of the strong team in the league, Chazy and they played a great game and only lost by one goal. The team should be very proud of the season.

Next week this community really starts the Christmas season, the weekend of Nov. 18 and 19 there will be three big events.

The Willsboro Methodist Church’s annual Holiday Sale starting on the Friday from 5 – 7 p.m. and continues on Saturday from 10 to 3. The Harvest Luncheon will feature homemade soups on Sat. from 11 to 1. Other sales on the same day include the sale and luncheon at the Catholic Church and also a craft fair at the local school. A great start on your holiday shopping and meet with your friend for an enjoyable day. The same busy weekend will continue on the first weekend of December.

Reminder the local Boy Scouts will be picking up the food donations for the local food shelf on Saturday, Nov. 12. Leave your donations on your porch.

Happy Birthday to, a belated one to Lois Thompson, (a reminder from a family member), Chester Halen Nov. 16, Bernice Shedd Nov. 17, Ginger LaPine Nov. 17.

he beautiful Fall weather we've been having recently presents a perfect opportunity to go for a long hike with your friends, family, and canine companions! The NCSPCA's Peaks for Pets donation program is a great way to combine a day of invigorating fun with a chance to raise some money to help our animals. You can learn about this program, which allows sponsors to donate funds based on the miles you hike, at www.peaksforpets.org. On the website, you register your planned hike and select a mountain peak, a date, and a fundraising goal. Ask family or friends to pledge support using a credit card or Paypal. Then get out and enjoy your hike!

Our featured pet this week is Emma, an enchanting Beagle-mix pup who is estimated to be 3-4 months old. Emma has all the wonderful puppy energy you would expect. She loves to cuddle, go for walks, play games, and entertain you with her silly antics. Although we are unsure of her exact heritage, her beagle ancestry is quite

The Elizabethtown Fish & Game Club moved back to the Wallace garage near Lincoln Pond for their winter dinners. On Nov. 3rd they announced the winners of the F&G fall raffle: Heather DiZalia - $25 Wal-Mart card, Steve Piatt - $50 Dicks card, Paul DeBarbieri - an air rifle, and Newman Tryon - $200 Cablea’s card.

Hunting season is well under way, and according to Dan Wallace, plenty of deer have been spotted but few have been brought home. Repair work has begun on flood-damaged roads in New Russia, and the hunters from the Scriver Road are using four-wheelers to reach their camps.

The Lincoln Pond Road past the Pond will be closed for a culvert replacement. So everyone will have to take the long way to reach Moriah via the Westport Road.

Cold weather also means the flu season.

The County Health Department is offering FREE flu shots for adults and children at their office on Water Street on Nov. 18 from

Valley News Editorial

Viewpoint

Spending plans need to be Bridging the future presented in readable form I

C

larity in government is essential for the participation of the people. In few places is that clarity as important as a town or city budget.

The town budget has a great impact on people's daily lives. But many budgets presented to citizens, especially in smaller towns, are difficult to read. The documents are full of abbreviations and tightly-packed figures that may capture the spirit and the most essential information on the budget process, but it’s meaningless to most citizens.

A budget summary or narrative can be helpful. The issue with one of these attached to a budget that citizens can't read is that they don't know exactly how trustworthy or inclusive the information is; they can't verify it on their own. This is a tall hurdle that makes it hard for constituents to feel empowered.

The role of government is the authoritative allocation of scarce resources. Towns' budget officers are working to stay under the 2 percent tax cap, and for some towns this can mean a few thousand dollars up or down. With that little wiggle room, informed feedback from constituents is more valuable than usual this budget year.

The role of citizens is to hold their representatives accountable. If the citizens can't account for the money their government is spending, they're missing out on participating in the most important function of their governing body.

The problem with many of these publicly distributed documents is their extreme brevity. There's a lot of information to put in there, but handing out small books for public review is awfully inefficient. Paper's not what it used to be in this 21st century.

Space was a consideration in those

bygone days before data bits flew through cables and airwaves, bringing us funny cats and free news articles.

Now, all that bandwidth required for Mittens' latest mishap can easily accommodate a bigger document packed with easier-to-digest line items.

A modern revolution in information design provides many solutions to that problem.

Cook County, Ill. made a visualization tool called “Look at Cook” available online for its citizens. The tool features an interactive line graph showing year-to-year spending, with line items that can be drilled down through until users see exactly where their town’s money is spent. The program is an open source, meaning it’s free to use, though it does require some amount of technical expertise.

In Portsmouth, N.H., a city council candidate named Jack Thorsen has posted a tool that shows the municipal budget in a pie chart. That by itself is nothing impressive, but as soon as the user hovers their mouse cursor over the graphic it comes alive, spinning and expanding.

When a slice of the chart is clicked, say “Library,” a list opens to the right of the chart, documenting how the library funds are spent exactly, from overtime to postage to book-binding.

Thorsen is developing his visualization tool as a business venture.

At a time when citizens and budget officers are calling for more creativity in allocating those scarce resources, a little creativity in presenting the budget can make community input a lot more valuable.

‘Coexistence or no existence’

Writer lauded

Finding Your Bliss

To the Editor: There are a multitude of topics in our constantly evolving culture which have become extremely controversial. Everyone, we will assume for the moment, starts out with the best of intentions.

They have unshakable faith in what they belief in their hearts to be true.

If you start talking with someone who does not share your particular perspective on a personally vital issue you might not be able to politely drop the topic and move on to something else less problematic. So, you persist on pushing forward with your own personal, deeply held perspectives. Emotions start to run wild and very quickly these intense feelings escalate into anger and hate. With blood vessels bulging in your face, you leave this verbal altercation behind, making mental notes of the seditious thoughts that have come to define your new enemy.

You go back to those who hold your ideology in common and you express the horrors of your most recent encounter.

You reaffirm with one another that these thoughts are indeed abhorrent and that your way is the only way. All the members of your group go out and they do exactly the same thing that you have done.

We are now however, living in a time when years have been whittled down to nanoseconds and distance is meaningless. In a far shorter time than might have been expected two warring factions are face to face on the battle field and the young soldiers you have recruited think that they are on their Xboxes, but they are not are they? Now they must fight to the death in order to prove that you are right. Who is the winner here, can anyone see a winner out on the field?

That brings us now to an alternate option. Rewind a bit to the point where you started to feel your emotions run wild.

Pause for a moment and count to three or perhaps to 10 if you have gotten yourself really worked up. While you are counting do a little multi-tasking and think!

When, since the dawn of civilization, has anger and hate ever led to anything else other than yet another apocalyptic blood bath? Is this really what you want? I think not!

So you finish counting and you say instead, “We do not have to be the same in order to be friends.” We are all intimately connected with one another. We breathe the same air and drink the same water. Our children go to school together and we are all worried about the economy. We are all struggling from one pay check to the next and we all, for the most part, try our best to be good people. I may not agree with you and you might be different, but diversity is good, diversity is essential, for the survival of the larger system upon which all of us without exception are totally dependent.

To the Valley News: Kudos to outdoor writer Joe Hackett for his recent column in the Times of Ti, “The hunt is on.” He covered every spectrum of the sport we call deer hunting and hit upon the two most important parts, which most outdoor writers neglect, tradition and sharing of knowledge and skills from the older hunters to the new ones starting.

The article teaches respect, not only for the deer, the outdoors, but for those who have gone before us and handed down the ways. I have known Joe as a fellow guide and outdoor writer for over 30 years. In my opinion, this is one of his finest articles.

Keep up the good work, Joe. Bob Bearor Schroon Lake

very long time ago, when I was a boy, I spoke with my father about mean people and I attempted to discover why people are mean.

The advice that he proffered was a psychological landmark for me at least for a while.

My father sagely suggested to me that unless someone lifted my wallet that I should not care too much about what other people think, say or do.

By Scot Hurlburt As a child, as hard as I tried to adopt my father ’s advice, most of the time I failed. Mean words and deeds still hurt. In my work with young people over the years, I can see that words still hurt just as they did many years ago.

As an adult, I have found my father ’s advice was sound though I needed to gain some life experience before I could understand his philosophy. Though he did not explain it in such words, I think he was telling me that I had a choice not to care so much what other people said or did.

Now fast forward about twenty years and I am working as a salesman for an electronics company. I was in a district with a Salesman that put my father ’s philosophy to the ultimate test.

Mark was 30 years old and the best salesman in the district. Mark was willing to do anything to win; he lured established accounts away from other salesman by spreading gossip or making false promises to make a sale. Tom, the District Manger, claimed Mark as his protégé and frequently referred to Mark as his best salesman.

When Mark, predictably, got a big promotion, he was the youngest salesman to ever get his own district to manage. Mark was not stupid, rather he was self centered, mean and, in my judgment, unhappy. In spite of the general dislike of Mark, he was given a going away party by the district sales team.

Unknown to me and the sales team, Mark had also attempted to assassinate Tom, the current District Manger and his biggest promoter and supporter. Near the parties end, Tom presented Mark with a plastic knife and the card read, “I removed this from my back, I am pretty sure that you will need it again.”

We all laughed, including Mark, and this was an ah-ha moment for me. While Mark was being roasted, he laughed right along with us. He chose not to be unhappy that none of us respected him. Mark paid a heavy price for his self interested behavior. Though he was barley 30 years old, Mark suffered from frequent bouts of diarrhea, and I noticed that always noted the location of the nearest bathroom. He was an insomniac, suffered frequent, unusual rashes and muscle aches in his legs. I doubt that Mark had any insight into the relationship between his meanness toward others and the maladies that plagued him.

While Mark is an extreme example, most of us are bothered by little insults, small acts of lack of consideration and betrayals of trust placed in someone. In putting my father ’s advice into practice, I found that I could exert much more control over my emotions than I previously thought.

Each of us can make a conscious decision to be in a state of bliss and I believe that as humans, bliss is our natural state. At some point, I found an ancient Chinese proverb that expressed my father ’s intent, “show the strength of water as it flows, for to stand is to be crushed.”

When a bad event or situation confronts you and anger begins to rise up in you, imagine your anger flowing away as it slowly dissolves into peace. There is no eternal happiness, it is not necessary to work at making ourselves happy all the time but rather that we learn not to make ourselves unhappy all the time.

For some, sacrificing their bliss may be worth the cost. Some will sacrifice their time with their children or spouses, giving their best energies to their work.

Each of us must define our bliss in our way. If you lose your bliss to a major life event, a death, a serious illness, a divorce or other life altering event than your grief and anger is legitimate. If you find yourself being tortured by the ill words of others around the water cooler or the baseless gossip of heartless fools, than you are giving over your bliss thoughtlessly and cheaply.

Remember, the gossipers and purveyors of meanness do not like you and probably not themselves. I suggest that unless someone lifts your wallet that you let those that would speak ill of you see that you won’t sacrifice your bliss to their cheap and thoughtless words.

Remember, all kids count.

Unfortunately we all know that it is not that simple. Albert Einstein puts our dilemma quite well when he says: “We have changed many things but we have not changed the fundamental way in which we think and thus we drift toward an unparalleled catastrophe of our own making.”

There is one final quote with which I would end. It is by Piet Hein, a Danish scientist, mathematician, inventor, author and poet who first published in April 1940. Piet Hein was also an active participant in the resistance movement.

He is a shining example and a reminder of the incredible power of the word.

“Coexistence or no existence.”

That much at least is simple.

Why spend on bridge To the Valley News: The fall budget and election time are upon us and some tough decisions have to be made. Towns and Counties are struggling to deal with a 2-percent tax levy cap on their budgets which was imposed by the State of New York. Voters are choosing the persons which will represent them at the local and county levels.

An affordable and balanced budget is not just the responsibility of elected officials. Everyone must help to avoid unnecessary expense and waste so as to be able to pay for needed services.

One such example of unnecessary expense and waste of tax dollars is the Otis Bridge fiasco in Elizabethtown. I’m told the cost of litigation, reengineering, and delay to the Essex County taxpayers is approaching $100,000. For a bridge that should have been replaced five years ago.

This doesnt include the cost of the bridge.

The bridge services a one mile dead end road that has been there for 90 years or more, but a nearby landowner saw an opportunity to get the road relocated and therefore enhance their personal property.

So far it’s working out well for the property owner, but the cost has been great for the taxpayer and it’s not over yet. I view this as a big waste of tax dollars which would not have happened if the property owner were thinking about the impact to their local and county neighbors.

The property owner now wants to be the town Supervisor of Elizabethtown, but it doesnt seem right and I wonder who she’ll really be representing if elected.

Michael McGinn, Elizabethtown

Impacts of market tobacco To the Editor: Tobacco use is the number ONE cause of PREVENTABLE death in the United States and around the world.

According to the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, more than 2.8 millions kids under the age of 18 are current tobacco users.

Adolescents are more susceptible to cigarette marketing than adults. 81.3 percent of youth smokers (12-17) prefer Marlboro, Camel, and Newport, three heavily advertised brands. A Journal of the National Caner Institute study found that teens were more likely to be influenced to smoke by cigarette marketing than by peer pressure.

Nearly one-third of all youth smokers will inevitably due prematurely from smoking-caused disease. In the United States, tobacco use is estimated to kill about 443,000 people per year which is more than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders, suicides and fires combined.

We need to address the impact tobacco marketing has on our youth and preventing them from becoming another generation of smokers.

GUESTVIEWPOINT Remembering Okie Dokie

E

very horseman is very lucky to own that one horse that would be hard to live without. ln Heide Doyle’s eyes, she was blessed with five. But, one really stole her heart.

Heide bought the 27-year old mare "Okie Dokie" from a long time friend in Florida, as a 4-year old. She also made the promise to never sell the horse.

Heide states, "lt wasn't just the promise that I made to my friend, lt was also the promise that I made to Okie."

People would try to buy her and make generous offers. But, Heide would just say," I can't sell her." Why? Heide remembers a very hot, August, Sunday in 1990.The mare was a 6-year old and they were showing at Fonda in the indoor arena. It was a tune up horse show to get Okie ready for a National Quarter-Horse Show the following weekend. The hot weather was just starting to take its toll on the horse and rider. Heide was dressed in western show attire including western hat, long sleeves, dress pants, boots, and leather chaps, belt and buckle.

Just after lunch, the Western Pleasure class was called into the show arena.

Heide mounted up and team rode into the class. The gate was closed and the announcer asked all riders to walk, then jog, then walk, and when he asked for the Lope, the word lope is the last thing

Heide remembers.

According to other horsemen and spectators Heide "slithered" off Okie and hit the dirt floor. Then Okie instinctively on her own, turned her body sideways putting herself between Heide and the running horses comming from behind.

The horse show crew got all horses and riders to stop the class and scrap an "over heated" Heide off the arena floor.

Many statements were made to the horsewoman on how her horse protected her from getting trampled and saved her from serious injury.

At that moment is when Heide made

her promise to Okie and has faithfully kept it for 24 years.

It was also mentioned that Okie assisted in helping pay off the farm and in buying a one-ton truck for Heide to haul her around in. Also earning National Quarter-Horse points in Trail Class and Western Pleasure (what Okie was born to do), AQHA weekend highpoint western horse in Lake Placid.

Okie was retired in 2003, and expired October of 2011.

Okie, foaled two babies in her life and is survived by one, "I'm A Chocolate Kiss," who was adopted by a wonderful home in Lewis and is doing well.

Heide said in the forty three years of owning roughly thirty horses, I've been kicked, dragged, bit, and flipped over on. Horsemanship is a dangerous sport and should be respected. lts not every horse that you can take two bales of hay and sleep in the same stall with. Okie was an exception to this rule. Your working with a 1,200-lbs. animal that needs your total respect. Do your homework to become one with your horse, as a team.

Horse knowlege is horse power.

Okie was one of my four legged shinning stars, and a pleasure to ride. I'm going to miss that number 10 jiggy jog.

Horace Nye

“This is not about quality of nursing care, it’s not about the people,” North Elba Supervisor Robert “Roby” Politi said. “We have made a lot of very poor business and leadership decisions over the years at Horace Nye and all those decisions point to one thing, that the county should not be in the nursing home business. I know that we will still have costs moving forward, but that does not justify us losing more money.”

“It has no reflection on the quality of care,” Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew III, said. “The game has changed, and it is unfortunate.”

“These are hard economic times and these are tough decisions, but that is what we are elected to do,” County Chairman and Jay Supervisor Randall “Randy” Douglas said.

Those against the move said they did not see either how it would save the county money or if it was something taxpayers wanted done.

“I think we should be looking at what we can do to improve that facility and not looking to get rid of it,” Willsboro Supervisor Edward “Ed” Hatch said.

“This will not have an impact on the 2012 budget because this is going to be a long process if we vote in favor of this,” Moriah Supervisor Thomas “Tom” Scozzafava said. “I know everything that I have read all points to the simple fact that private nursing homes want private pay. Most of our residents are Medicaid, so what is going to happen to these people. It’s a domino effect. I can think of 100 good reasons why we should not even be considering this and they are over there in the home right now. I think it’s a step in the wrong direction.”

“I see no benefit of getting rid of the nursing home if you have to attach terms and conditions to it,” Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald “Gerry” Morrow said. “I think the taxpayers of this county want to pay for a nursing home.”

“I feel that there are a lot of facts that we do not have and there will be a burden on our taxpayers either way,” Es-

Many supervisors who supported the resolution said that in the current financial climate, every possible costsaving opportunity had to be looked at.

“I am not in favor of selling the home, but I am in favor of this resolution,” Keene Supervisor William “Bill” Ferebee said. “It only says that we are going to test the waters, and we have to test the waters.”

“I think the key words in the resolution are ‘acceptable to the board of supervisors,’” Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said.

“The question is not do we stay open or closed, the question is do we look at all of our options,” Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery-Corey said.

Some supervisors tried to explain that their votes were not a matter of personal interest, but the interest of the county and the taxpayers.

“There is a lot of anger that is already being focused on this board because of this, but the county did not ask for the 2 percent cap,” Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston said. “This is the first of a lot of very difficult, tough decisions.

We didn’t create this, but we are going to have to be the ones that have to live with it. Sadly, everything is on the table. I wish people would not take this personally, but they are going to.”

“This has become a very polarizing issue,” Lewis Supervisor David Blades said. “For me this is a very personal issue, but I believe that my responsibility goes further then my personal needs.

I’m not saying that in the end, I would support the sale or lease. I need to get the full information, and I think that is what we all need to do.”

“I think it is really unfortunate that there is so much negativity,” Westport Supervisor Daniel “Dan” Connell said.

“All we are doing is looking at if there is a way of running this at a reduced cost to the taxpayers of this county. I think that we owe it to the taxpayers of Essex County to explore all of our options.”

sex Supervisor Sharon Boisen said.

“Everybody generally cares about this,” North Hudson Supervisor Robert Dobie, who originally voted for the resolution in the Oct. 31 Ways and Means Committee meeting, said. “I have gone back and forth on it and I am now going to support that we keep the home.”

County Manager Daniel Palmer said that, with the resolution passed, the board would now come up with the terms and conditions of the sale that would be agreed upon by Marcus and Millichap before official advertisements were to go out for the facility.

“This is the retention of an agent,” Politi said. “We will meet with them to discuss terms and conditions that are acceptable to all of us and then move forward.”

“If they find a willing buyer for $4 million and we don’t take it, then we have to pay the commission,” Palmer said. “If they find one for $3 million and you don’t take it, then you do not have to take the commission. Broker fees will be applied if they find a willing buyer and terms.”

“If we can put conditions in the agreement that can save jobs and pay, then that would be the best of both worlds,” Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider said. “Let’s make a sound decision with the right information.”

November 12, 2011 Overall, the incidents illustrated a glaring lack of preparation on the part of the travelers, including a lack of proper clothing, food, water, flashlights, a map and/ or a compass.

Rangers repeatedly discovered that the most common equipment carried by those in need of assistance was a cell phone.

Unfortunately, cell phones provide a false sense of security, especially in the Adirondaqcks where service is often spotty.

Although the travelers may have been lost or overdue, and without a map, compass, flashlight or matches; they were still able to call for pizza!

Always be prepared

A

combination of stiff winds and a few heavy frosts helped to knock the stuffing out of the North Woods, over the past week. As a result, the woods are now more open, and a hunter’s field of view is much wider, and extensive. These subtle changes won’t necessarily tip the odds in favor of the hunters, but they will likely allow more deer to be seen.

Vermont Fish and Wildlife recently released the results of an interesting survey, which indicates the state’s efforts to recruit new hunters appears to be working. The survey revealed a retention rate of 69% among participating youth hunters., who have continued to maintain a presence in the fields and forests as adults.

“Vermont’s special youth deer hunting weekend helps to ensure that young hunters get the quality training and experiences they need for lifelong participation,” explained Fish and Wildlife Hunter Education Coordinator Chris Saunders, in a news release.

Hunter retention is of great concern to Fish and Wildlife agencies, all across the country. Vermont, with a demonstrated success rate of better than two out of three young hunters is obviously doing something right.

Pack lite, but remember to pack a light

With darkness setting in, well before the evening news, now is an appropriate time for outdoor travelers to replace their flashlight batteries, before it is too late. Hunters, hikers and other woodland wanderers should be aware of the onset of autumn darkness, which occurs with alarming speed. The woods become dark almost immediately after sundown, and as a result, there is very little room for error on the return trip back to camp or to the trailhead.

When it comes to flashlights, I’m redundant. I typically carry a headlamp, in addition to a small handheld flashlight and a micro-light on the zipper of my pack. There is no time to be looking around for a headlamp at the end of the day, as the woods turn into a pitch-black, obstacle course, Such situations can be avoided with the addition of an extra headlamp, or a small penlight, and remember to toss in some spare batteries.

Tupper Lake begins effort to restore RR tracks

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com

83032

TUPPER LAKE — Dozens of railroad supporters joined the Next Stop! Tupper Lake group at the depot Saturday, Nov. 5 to replace the first wooden tie under the tracks to Saranac Lake.

The group — which rebuilt the train station several years ago on the site of the old depot — launched its “On Track to Saranac” campaign with a “First Tie Down” photo opportunity, a ribbon-cutting ceremony, family-friendly activities, and an opportunity to climb aboard the Adirondack Scenic Railroad’s train as it stopped in Tupper Lake on the way to Thendara for the winter.

Standing in front of the train, Next Stop!

Tupper Lake chairman Dan McClelland told onlookers that the “On Track to Saranac” campaign will take about three years to raise money and restore the tracks between Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake, where the Adirondack Railway Preservation Society (ARPS) operates a seasonal tourist excursion to Lake Placid.

“So we’ll have train traffic between Lake Placid and Tupper Lake,” McClelland said.

Officials from the group’s partner organizations were given a chance to say a few comments before the “tie down.” The first speaker was ARPS President Bill Branson.

“Bill has put ARPS back on solid financial ground, and it’s a successful business model right now,” McClelland said.

Branson addressed recent criticism in the media from members of the newly formed Adirondack Recreational Trail Ad-

vocates (ARTA), who favor tearing up the 34 miles of tracks between Tupper Lake and Lake Placid to build a recreation trail.

“This thing’s going to happen in spite of what you read in the paper from time to time, which is annoying to all of us,” Branson said. “The facts speak for themselves.”

Members of ARTA have complained that the state should stop subsidizing a railroad operation that continually loses money.

“Our organization receives no subsidies from anybody. Let’s be real clear about that,” Branson said. “Anything that we get from the state is reimbursement from the work we do for them.”

Branson said the Adirondack Scenic Railroad is actually making money.

“Not only are we profitable, but we are profitable at a level that many businesses would envy,” Branson said.

Moreover, the state Department of Transportation, which owns the railroad right of way, has no plans to tear up the tracks, he said.

North Country Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Garry Douglas said the Chamber donated $5,000 toward the “On Track to Saranac” effort.

“I said I will never retire until the day this train stops with a load of people from Lake Placid to this station, and the North Country Chamber is fully on board to make this happen,” Douglas said.

Pete Snyder, who runs the ARPS operation between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, reiterated his support for extending the Adirondack Scenic Railroad excursion from Saranac Lake to Tupper Lake.

“I’ve been saying it for years, we gotta do what we gotta do, and today is a wonderful example of doing,” Snyder said.

safe,” Houseal said. “We can work together through this, and we have a lot to do.”

Dan Plumley of Adirondack Wild said that there were discussions that needed to happen in order for all of the organizations involved to be on the same page.

“There are questions and concerns and issues to discuss, but like it says on the sign in front of the Keene Town Hall, we’re all in this together,” Plumley said. “Tonight, we may have more questions than answers, but the fact is that we need to work toward our goal and work together for some time to come.”

“Everybody has worked together for the things that we have needed in the North Country,” Douglas said, pointing out that party politics played no role in the recovery process.

However, Douglas added that he felt there needed to be more done in terms of getting funding to the municipalities that needed it.

“What the DEC has done with working with us has been great and we know that we have more to do,” Douglas said.

“Unfortunately, we need more. We are not equipped to do some of the things in the rivers that we need to.”

“My biggest fear is where we are go-

ing to end up,” Jay DPW Commissioner Chris Garrow said. “I have put this town in an awful hole financially with the work that we have had to do. We are still operating a water line that is being run through a fire hose.”

Ferebee said that he hoped that any negative feelings toward the project could be turned around, but admitted later that he did want to know when towns would be receiving funds for the recovery efforts.

“I think that we made some headway here, but not nearly what I expected,” Ferebee said.

All parties agreed that they needed to continue to discuss and coordinate between each other. The meeting, which was attended by more than 100 residents from the local towns affected by the flooding both in the spring and August, lasted for nearly four hours.

Jay Supervisor Randall “Randy” Douglas and Keene counterpart William “Bill” Ferebee hosted a meeting between members of the two towns, FEMA, the Department of Environmental Conservation, Army Corps of Engineers, Ausable River Association, Adirondack Park Agency, Adirondack Wild and the Adirondack Council, among others, for a chance for all sides to talk and respond to questions from those who attended.

FEMA representative John Patterson said there have been 526 registrations in Essex County for services and $2 million had been distributed in Essex County. Patterson also said that the deadline for filing for relief had been extended until Dec. 15.

“If you haven’t registered, you really need to do that now and get into the system,” Patterson said.

“This district probably got hit harder than any other district in New York,“ Mark Westcott, representing Congressman Chris Gibson, said. “We have been working with everyone, and we want people to tell us what they need and we will try to advocate for them.”

“Your supervisors have done a tremendous job and they are all working hard, and my role here is to help wherever I can,” state Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward said.

“This is an important discussion,” Rick Weber of the APA said. “This has been a very incredible year, not just with Irene but with the spring flooding.

It has been incredible work by the highway departments and everyone to put things back together as quickly as they have. Our role is to review and quickly provide our advice on matters pertaining mostly to issues that involve the river banks.”

Brian Houseal of the Adirondack Council echoed Weber.

“All of the environmental hazards were removed and the bridges and road were rebuilt and the emergency crews went above and beyond to keep people

Trail work continues on Cheney Mountain MORIAH — The Town of Moriah and Champlain Area Trails (CATS) are nearing completion of the new Cheney Mountain Trail.

“We cleared the trail and put up trail signs,” Chris Maron, Executive Director of CATS, said. “Next, we need to put up a trailhead sign and A view of the bridge from Cheney Mountain. some directional Photo by Jim Davis signs at a couple of trail junctions. Future plans are to install interpretive signs about the natural features and what people see from the overlooks.”

Nineteen people and two dogs came out on a beautiful Saturday morning to hike and finish opening up the trail.

“I’m really pleased that CATS and Moriah invited people of all ages to participate. We brought our 13-year old son and he had a great time,” Malinda Chapman, of Ticonderoga, said.

Cheney Mountain Trail will be a great new resource for residents and visitors in Moriah. It starts by the Town’s former landfill on Pelfershire Road and follows an old logging road to the summit for spectacular views.

well by more than a dozen ’29ers who had been at the original Aug. 26, 1929 bridge opening — Nov. 7, 2011 was the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Lake Champlain.

“I want to point out that this is day one,” said Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh.

“We’re going to count forward from here.”

The concept of linking the two states with a new bridge was a common theme among the speakers.

“When I looked out, as I was coming today, I saw the hands of the community, of the state of New York and the federal government reaching out to one another to bring New York and Vermont back together again,” Owens said.

While some spoke of the bridge as a metaphor — connecting the common values of Vermonters and New Yorkers in the Champlain Valley — others described it as a transportation link essential to the everyday lives of residents.

“It’s more than concrete and steel,” said New York Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, R-Willsboro. “It is the link that the North Country has to the closest trauma unit, and many ambulances run back and forth across this bridge.”

Between Oct. 16, 2009 and Feb. 1, 2010, people had to drive around the old bridge site to get to the other side, a commute of more than 100 miles for work, hospital visits, vacations, etc. While the absence of a bridge was a barrier, the presence of a bridge is being seen as a step toward normalcy.

“It’s a place where fire companies run back and forth between Addison, Vt. and Crown Point and conversely from Addison to help each other,” Sayward said. “It’s farmers who have to cross this bridge to feed their cattle and to get their crops. It’s people traveling into New England, it’s New Englanders traveling into

New York ... Today, your life begins again.”

Shumlin marveled at the speed of the bridge’s construction.

“This is the best example of government serving people and getting things done that you’ll find anywhere in the nation,” Shumlin said.

Duffy concurred.

“If you were to turn on the media and the news tonight and any story on any given day, you hear about what’s wrong with government.

You hear all the bad things that are going on in this world,” Duffy said. “And today, we get to celebrate what is right ... to be where we are today in literally two years’ time is nothing short of a miracle.”

Other speakers included New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald; Sue Minter, deputy secretary of the Vermont Agency of Transportation; Vermont State Rep. Diane Lanpher, DVergennes; Jonathan McDade, New York division administrator for the Federal Highway Administration; Karen Hennessy (New York) and Lorraine Franklin (Vermont), co-chairs of the Lake Champlain Bridge Community; Crown Point Town Supervisor Bethany Kosmider; and New York Sen. Betty Little, R-Queensbury.

“I don’t know that you can have a better bridge,” Little said.

The new Network Tied Arch Bridge is a steel structure with an arch along the center span. It was designed

by Ted Zoli and built by Flatiron Construction.

The bridge’s design makes it safer than the previous structure and will ensure at least a 75-year service life.

Key bridge components are designed to be easily replaceable to reduce maintenance costs. Travel lanes are 11 feet wide, with 5-foot shoulders that will help accommodate larger trucks and farm vehicles, as well as provide ample room for bicyclists. Sidewalks are featured on both sides of the bridge.

Parade of champions in Sections VII, teams prepare for regionals

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Section VII fall sports season has come to an end, but not for all, as champions in soccer, football, cross country, volleyball and swimming now prepare for regional and state competition.

with a 57-16 win Nov. 5.

Matt Phelan combined 42 yards rushing and a touchdown with 184 yards and four touchdowns passing to pace the Saranac Lake offense.

game on a Kallie Villemaire assist in the third minute of the game as the unbeaten Beekmantown Lady Eagles scored the 1-0 win against the Lady Hornets of Plattsburgh High Nov. 4.

“We have worked well with each other throughout the season,” Huber said of her connection with Villemaire.

“I saw her open in the middle and I knew that if I could get the ball in that she would be able to finish,” Villemaire said. “We work good together.”

“Right from the beginning, this team started working hard and we try to concentrate on the basics of soccer,” Eagles head coach Erin Norris said. “I always tell them that I want a goal in the first two minutes. We have a pair of dynamic scorers up front in Kallie and Jess and they have compatible speeds and they work well together.”

Football Class B

The Peru Indians jumped out to a 21-0 lead then held on as the Beekmantown Eagles scored 14 unanswered and may have scored the tying touchdown if not for a strange play during the Section VII Class B title game Nov. 5.

The Indians, who captured the title with a 21-14 score, were able to force a fumble after Beekmantown’s Luke Weaver had caught a pass and ran for what appeared to be a 66yard scoring play. However, the officials never blew their whistles, and Peru recovered the fumble.

“The officials said that he had never crossed the plane,” Beekmantown head coach Jamie Lozier said. “However, we didn’t do anything in the first half and it is frustrating when we prepared as hard as we did throughout the week and then had a lot of things go wrong.”

“I would have preferred to have ended a little better on defense, “Peru head coach Nick Damiani said. “We did a nice job defensively through the first three quarters, but the combinations of Carter Frechette and Luke Weaver started clicking. They played tough, and they had an opportunity to get the ball and tie the game.”

Damiani said that the title was something that would sink in later on, and that the team would enjoy it until it was time to prepare for Schalmont on Monday.

“I told them to enjoy tonight and tomorrow, then on Monday we come back to the practice field and do it all over again. We want to take Section VII football down to Section II and make some noise.”

Boys soccer Class B

The Beekmantown Eagles proved that their semifinal win over the Northeastern Clinton Cougars was not a fluke as the thirdseeded Eagles scored a 1-0 win over the fifthranked team in the state, the Plattsburgh Hornets, to capture the Class B title.

“I was looking up the field and was able to run through the ball,” Austin Burl, who scored the lone goal for the Eagles, said.

“We focused 100 percent and made sure that we played every ball out in each game of the sectionals,” sweeper Keon Jahanbakhsh said.

“We are on a roll right now and I would like to see this team go deep into the state tournament,” Eagles head coach Ryan Loucy said.

Class C

Willsboro’s M ichael Smith def ends against Chaz y’s Hunter Dominy.

Photo by Jim Carroll/OvertimePhotogra[hy.com that the game could go either way. We told ourselves that we were not losing tonight.”

Sweeper Nathan Reynolds said that the defensive plan was to make sure that everyone on Chazy knew where prolific Willsboro scorer Clay Sherman was at all times.

“We put pressure on him all the time,” Reynolds said. “You have to give credit to Willsboro, they are a great team and we had to come together as a team and work as hard as we have to get the win.”

“I had faith that we would play a strong defensive game, but with as much time was left and how good Willsboro is, I wasn’t sure if we were safe,” Eagles head coach Rob McAuliffe said. “We tried to get to Sherman early before he could do anything with possession.”

“This was by far the best of the three games,” Willsboro head coach Andy Lee said. “It was back and forth, 50-50 paly. They happened to get us today.”

Along with the team play, Lee said that he was impressed with the play of senior sweeper Dakota Sayward, who played the game with a torn MCL and partially torn ACL. “Dakota was out there for everything and he left his heart out there,” Lee said. “It was two great defensive efforts. Chazy is known for the offense and scoring, but it is their defense that shines in games like this.”

The Northern Adirondack Bobcats jumped out to an early lead over the Lake Placid Blue Bombers and did not look back in scoring the 3-0 win.

Nolan Ferguson scored in the fourth minute of the game off an assist from Scott Kellett, while Shane Trudeau connected on a pass from Josh Rabideau in the 17th minute and Justin Kellett scored 1:13 seconds later to give the Bobcats a 3-0 lead that would hold for the rest of the contest.

Ethan Mousseau made seven saves in the win for the Bobcats, who advanced to regional play with a record of 7-8-0. J.P. Morrison made 14 saves in the loss, as the Blue Bombers finished the 2011 season with a record of 5-9-0.

Class C The Saranac Lake Red Storm rolled out to a 57-0 lead, while the AuSable Valley Patriots scored twice in the fourth quarter as the Storm advanced to face Hoosick Falls for the second straight year in the Class C regionals

The Chazy Eagles took their first lead in 168 minutes of play against the Willsboro Warriors in the Nov. 5 Class D championship game, and were able to hold the 1-0 advantage for 72 more minutes in scoring a Class D championship.

“I knew that I had to get the ball on net as fast as I could,” Hunter Dominy, who scored the goal for the Eagles, said. “I still thought
