New craft market to benefit students

Worth the wait

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — A special fundraiser held at Willsboro Central School this weekend will help a new garden club there blossom.

The Adirondack Artisans, Crafters, and Farmers Guild is participating in a craft fair at the school Nov. 14, the inaugural event for the newly formed organization.

Linda Therrian, an organizer for the event, said the guild formed because many crafters, like herself, have been frustrated trying to sell at craft fairs that tend to feature more and more mass-produced or retail items.

“It’s not acceptable to us,” said Therrian. “We work hard at what we do. People who come and shop at these craft fairs are getting ripped off. We want to be able to guarantee that whoever is standing there at that table has made what’s on that table.”

Therrian, who also manages the seasonal farmers’ market in Willsboro, said this craft fair will also be unique because it will allow producers of local food to participate.

“When the farmers’ markets end in the fall, most craft markets don’t allow anything from farmers’ markets to be sold there,” she said. “We felt it wasn’t fair that they’ve allowed us for over 20 years to be a part of their markets, and yet we’ve excluded them.”

More than 30 vendors have signed up for the fair, pledging to bring wooden bowls, pottery, furniture, art and photography prints, jewelry, and more. Farmers will be offering vegetables, pork, chicken, jams, maple syrup, and baked goods.

Therrian approached Willsboro school superintendent Steve Broadwell in August to request use of the school as a craft market. Broadwell suggested running it as a school project to benefit the “Bloomin’ Veggies,” a school garden club recently established by teacher Charmaine Flynn.

“I’ve always wanted to do it,” said Flynn. “It just so happens the school was recipient to it.”

The club has been active for the past year, establishing six raised beds behind the school. Garlic and onions have already been planted for next year’s harvest.

“Everything we have right now has all been donated,” explained Flynn, including lumber from Hugh Goff, soil from John Sheehan & Son Excavating, and Egyptian Walking Onion bulbs from Scott Sayward.

Proceeds collected from the craft fair vendors fees will raise funds for the Bloomin’ Veggies. With more than 30 vendors paying $20 each for their 10’x10’ space, the event will raise more than $600 for the club to use as seed money; literally.

Flynn said the funds will likely be used to expand the garden and add more vegetables, including beans, tomatoes, herbs, beets, and even some lettuce.

“We’d like to get to the point where we are supplying our cafeteria with all the vegetables we need,” she said.

Flynn said the garden has been a useful teaching tool across all grade levels, whether it’s elementary students learning how to measure out straight rows of veggies, middle schoolers learning about the “three sister” crops, or high school biology students measuring the pH level of the soil.

The craft fair will also serve as a fundraiser for Willsboro’s freshman class. They will be selling hot dogs and michigans to fund their efforts for “Operation Christmas Card,” a project that sends holiday cards to U.S. Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Cards will be available at the craft fair for attendees to sign.

For more information on the craft fair, contact Willsboro Central School at 963-4456 or Linda Therrian at 963-4383.

Lake Champlain Bridge slated for demolition

By Fred Herbst newmarketpress@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point, closed for a month because of safety concerns, will be demolished.

Engineers have determined it is not feasible to rehabilitate the 80-year-old span.

An underwater inspection of the bridge's concrete piers and underlying foundations found cracks and significant deterioration in the nonreinforced concrete substructures well below the water level that render these supports so fragile that a sudden collapse could occur.

“Safety was our primary concern when we closed the Lake Champlain Bridge last month and it is our chief interest now,” New York Gov. David Paterson said, announcing the decision to tear down the bridge.

“We must make a decision that protects those

Supporters laud land swap approval

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — Supporters of an amendment to the State Constitution legalizing a set of power lines built on State Forest Preserve are celebrating its recent passage.

Voters across New York State approved the measure by a margin of 863,898 to 427,043 Nov. 3, much to the delight of Elected representatives and environmental groups, both of whom supported it.

The amendment authorizes the transfer of six acres of Forest Preserve along Route 56 in the town of Colton to accommodate a new stretch of power lines to Tupper Lake. National Grid, the company that owns and operates the lines, will give 43 acres of land along the Grasse River in exchange.

“I am very thankful for the voter support we received on Election Day for this important constitutional amendment,” said State

Sen. Elizabeth Little, who sponsored the initiative and helped guide it through the Senate and Assembly.

The Adirondack Council was also a major proponent of the project, educating voters on how construction of the lines across the twomile stretch amounted to the least environmental impact.

“This landslide approval shows that voters took the time to understand the issue and trusted our advice about the environmental benefits,” said Brian Houseal, executive director for the Adirondack Council. “We are gratified and humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response.”

The amendment allows National Grid to legally connect Tupper Lake to a back-up power supply. The community had suffered numerous power outages over the past decade because it was at the end of a single power supply line that starts in Malone.

Recognizing an immediate need for anoth-

er line, National Grid, the New York State Power Authority and the state Department of Environmental Conservation signed an agreement authorizing construction in early 2008.

“It’s impossible to build a sustainable, modern economy in a village that can’t keep the lights on,” Houseal said, “Dysfunctional villages only encourage more development in the back woods where it doesn’t belong.”

Houseal said the Adirondack Council supported the amendment because the alternative was to run the lines on a six-mile detour around the Forest Preserve.

“We really didn’t like the detour,” said Houseal, noting how it would have cut through old-growth boreal forest that is known to contain rare plants and wildlife, such as spruce grouse.

“We told them, ‘This may sound crazy, but we want you to build this on the Forest Preserve. It will save you money and it will pre-

vent ecological damage by confining the power line to an already-developed area,’” Houseal said. “They looked at us strangely at first, but then agreed.”

The majority of the lines run across private property or remain on the state Route 56 highway easement; all except a two-mile stretch between Stark Falls and Sevey Corners. They have been in use since May. With the amendment approved, the state legislature must now pass yet another bill spelling out the specifics of the land swap and completing the transfers.

“Passage couldn't come at a better time as winter quickly approaches and demand for power will increase in Tupper Lake and the Tri-Lakes region,” Little said. “This is a smart solution and the result of effective teamwork by the business community, environmental advocates and local and state officials.”

APA drops claims against Douglas

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Adirondack Park Agency has decided to forego any further action against a man accused of disturbing wetlands on his property near Silver Lake.

LeRoy Douglas said that after more than three years of being scrutinized by the APA, he was astonished when the agency agreed to drop their enforcement action against him at a meeting held Nov. 9.

“It was absolutely an unbelievable scene,” he said.

The meeting was a status conference held with DEC Administrative Law Judge Molly T. McBride. APA Enforcement Program Supervisor Paul Van Cott joined Douglas and his attorney, Matt Norfolk of the Lake Placid law firm Briggs & Norfolk, in reviewing the case with the judge..

“The DEC judge said it would be in the best interest of both parties if this proceeding ended,” said Norfolk. “We met, and we basically stated we would not settle or compromise.”

“I told them I wasn’t going to back down,” said Douglas, noting that he was prepared to sell some of his properties in order to fund a potential lawsuit with the agency. “They have tried everything they could for the past couple weeks to try to get me to settle this, but I refused.”

“In response,” said Norfolk, “the APA agreed to withdraw the 2007 enforcement proceeding with prejudice,” meaning Douglas cannot have similar enforcement action brought against him in the future.

“The agency came to an agreement with Mr. Douglas to remediate wetlands on his property to the satisfaction of the Adirondack Park Agency,” said APA spokesman Keith McKeever.

The case arose from an APA claim that Douglas, when repairing a road on his property that passes through a wetland area, illegally widened the road. An enforcement hearing on the matter led to a settlement.

“They asked if he would do some remedial work [to narrow the road], and he agreed,” said Norfolk. “We contend he’s complied with it.”

But the agency decided to re-open enforcement in March

2007, claiming he failed to follow through with his promise to narrow the road. Douglas asked the agency to reconsider, but an April 2008 enforcement meeting denied his request.

According to Norfolk, the agency had offered to settle the matter with Douglas provided he pay fines amounting to as much as $6,000.

On Sept. 28, Norfolk filed a motion with McBride to vacate the ruling from that meeting, claiming the APA communicated illegally with private citizens about Douglas’s case. Norfolk pointed to several letters and e-mails suggesting Agency staff sent and received collusive “ex parte” communication with staff from the Adirondack Council.

The ex parte rule, in summary, says state agency members involved in a hearing cannot communicate with any person about the hearing without providing an opportunity for all parties involved to participate; for example, by providing copies of their written correspondence.

Some of the e-mails specifically discussed Douglas’s enforcement matter and directed Van Cott to take specific action in order to find Douglas in violation.

The sender ’s identity in the e-mails is blacked out with marker, but Norfolk suggests they came from Adirondack Council Chairman Brian Ruder, whom Douglas claims also owns land along Silver Lake.

“The collusion is absolutely unbelievable,” said Douglas, who is convinced environmental groups like Adirondack Council and The Nature Conservancy urged APA enforcement against him in an effort to motivate him to sell or allow conservation easements on his land.

“I am absolutely not a developer,” he said, claiming most of his land has been owned by ancestors dating back to the Civil War. “I sell land only to pay taxes to be able to live in New York State.”

As for why the agency decided to drop their enforcement against Douglas, he can only speculate.

“I think Paul Van Cott realized that some of the stuff he’s involved in with The Nature Conservancy and the Adirondack Council is illegal,” he said.

“I think this withdrawal speaks volumes,” said Norfolk, suggesting the agency might have simply decided to honor the previous settlement. “We’re very happy for LeRoy and his family, and that this has ended for him.

who cross the bridge, as well as workers and engineers, and therefore we have no choice but to tear down the dangerously deteriorated bridge.”

The bridge is jointly owned by New York and Vermont, although New York has responsibility for bridge maintenance.

“Reports indicate that the bridge is highly unstable and our harsh winter will only aggravate its condition,” Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas said. “For everyone’s safety, the bridge must be dismantled in a controlled fashion quickly so that a replacement bridge can be erected in its place.”

Douglas said both states are working to install temporary ferry service as close to the bridge as possible so that motorists can once again begin crossing Lake Champlain between Addison and Crown Point.

Stanley Gee, acting commissioner of the New York State Department of Transportation, said, “Now that the analysis is completed and the bridge has been found unstable, we can work quickly to demolish the existing bridge and accelerate the process for building a permanent replacement. We look forward to restoring vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the lake. In order to preserve and protect the historically and environmentally sensitive areas on both side of Lake Champlain, we plan to build the replacement bridge as close to the existing location as is possible.”

Both governors have emphasized that until a new bridge can be built, a temporary new ferry service should be established as quickly as possible. To that end, they noted that all of the required environmental documentation will be submitted to the appropriate federal agencies early this week, so that construction of new ferry docks can begin as soon as possible.

Last month, officials announced transportation alternatives to cross Lake Champlain. Those alternatives include a free ferry service between Ticonderoga and Shoreham, Vt., as well as free ferry service at Lake Champlain Transportation's ferry service at the Essex/Charlotte crossing. Additionally, a free express bus service now brings commuters to three major employers in Vermont, while a pedestrian ferry service was established north of the Lake Champlain Bridge between Westport, and Basin Harbor.

were available in both traditional and nasal forms, and special accommodations were in place for the elderly and disabled.

“We thought the best way to provide it to the community was to do this,” Buehler said, noting the central location and afternoon hours.

Doors opened at 3 p.m. and dozens soon packed the school’s auditorium. Some reported waiting in line for a half-hour or more to get their vaccine. The event was scheduled to last until 7 p.m.

By 5 p.m., however, both patients and doses were dwindling. Louann Jaquish was one of the last to be administered the vaccine and said her wait was no more than 10 minutes. She described her experience as “smooth, effective, and comfortable.”

Buehler said administering the flu vaccine has been more difficult this year because doses have not been as readily available.

“The demand this year is larger than it has been in the past,” she said, attributing it to media coverage and public concern surrounding the H1N1 strain of flu.

For those anxious to get a flu shot, Buehler noted there are other avenues for getting it, whether it be through a doctor or an outlet for retail vaccines.

“We’re certainly able to provide these opportunities to people, but we do encourage them to seek care through their primary care physicians first,” she said.

So far, the number of flu clinics has been limited due to limited supply of doses, but Buehler expects greater amounts of vaccine to become available in the coming weeks.

“As our vaccine supply increases, we’ll be able to serve our larger communities,” said Buehler.

The next scheduled clinic for H1N1 will be held at Keene Central School Nov. 17 specifically for groups targeting by the CDC, such as children and pregnant women. See the “In Brief” section for more information.

ovember is still proving to be a busy month of special activities.

The Willsboro Central School Drama Club will be presenting the production of “Damn Yankees” this weekend, Nov. 12-14 starting at 7:30 p.m. and then on Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. These young students always do a wonderful job, and I hope, as a community, we support their efforts.

The Willsboro Congregational Church is presenting an interesting program on Sat. Nov 14 at 7 p.m. Peter Panagore will share his experiences in a dramatic ice climbing, namely a 500 foot pitch adjacent Jasper, Alberta Canada. He sounds like he has an inspirational story to share with those in attendance. Another first is the special sale by local artist & farmers that will be held at the Willsboro School Gym on Sat. Nov 14 throughout the day.

The local film society has done an out standing job of not only presenting great movies right here in our area, but they have an added feature of having people involved with the movie subject introduce the movie and share some interesting things surrounding the movie being shown. The next movie will be on Sat. Nov. 21 at the Willsboro School, showing “Every Little Step” starting at 8 p.m.

The Willsboro United Methodist Church for the fifth year had a special program and meal for our Willsboro/Reber Veterans. This is a very impressive way to show our thanks to those that have served in our military over the years. Another special event took place at the Methodist church this past Sunday as they dedicated a Yamaha Keyboard in Memory of Lucille Richard. She loved music and this will assist the church to carry out their ministry with music in places where

Congratulations to all the winners in the Elections this past week. There are still a couple too close to call until after the absentees are counted in about a week. Don’t forget that all election signs should be down by this weekend.

There are some upcoming meetings you might be interested in attending. The Willsboro School Alumni group will be meeting at the Visitors Center on Monday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m., they are always looking for interested persons to come share ideas for next year ’s activities. So feel free to drop in or contact Larry Allen with any good ideas. Another hard working group are those on the Community Planning & Revitalization Projects, Plans and Initiatives Inventory. They have had several planning meetings to collect what the community wants to see for the future, but they still need volunteers to come and pull these ideas into a constructive plan.

They welcome any interested persons to join them on Tues. Nov. 17th, at 6:30 in the Visitor ’s Center Our sympathy is extended to the family of Veletia Shepard as she passed away this past week after a fall in her home and the complications this brought about. Rita Farrell will be having a birthday on Feb. 19. As she is mostly house bound, it would be nice to flood her with cards. John Remancus recently enjoyed a visit from his daughter Christine, along with her husband and son from Massachusetts.

ey everybody; want an inexpensive Christmas present? Well, the Essex multi-color calendar is now on sale at the Essex Town Hall and Willsboro Pharmacy.

Well, while the Crown Point Bridge closing was a disaster, wait ‘til you see the latest rescue plan. Now we hear that there will be two ferry boats sent to the bridge location to use boat launch sites in NY & VT (the VT site will need new roads and a curve to by-pass the french fry machine at the Bridge Eatery). Clearly the two States will have to spend a great deal of money to make these launch sites feasible. You can’t convince me that once Vermont and NY spend all that money that they will bother to repair the bridge. We all will be stuck with a pay as you go ferry system. Now, not to complicate matters, but where will NY get this construction money? Remember, our comptroller said NY used up its construction money for non-transportation purposes.

In ad nauseam, the lake freezes over at

those bridge sites very early in the winter, and when this happens the ferries won’t be able to swim on down to the sites. Does anyone, in their right minds expect the states to move in less than three months?

For instance, what about SHIPO review requirements of VT & NY. In fact, I believe that the State of NY won’t get all permits in time from NY’s SHIPO in time for the State DOT to start construction before the freeze. Bizarre, eh?

Hats off to the people de-erecting the plethora of political signs on Nov. 4! I saw Henry Hommes taking down his own signs, the family at the Cemetery taking their sign down after midnight, and Pretty taking down his “Vote for Briggs” sign.

So sorry to hear about Vicky Kirby. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends in Essex. Let’s not forget to say a prayer for both of the surviving veterans of Armistice Day. Also, remember that Nov. 11 is also Veterans Day, so named to commemorate the wars to end all wars; except for the last four and the next one soon to arrive.

A

s we approach the Holiday Season our minds are often occupied by thoughts of family get-togethers, sharing and gifts. During this time of giving, please consider making holiday gift donations to the shelter in the names of family members, friends, and co-workers.

A wonderful idea is to ask your family members to contribute a donation to the shelter in your name, rather than to buy you a present. Most traditional gifts go to just one person; but a donation to the shelter supports the humane and loving care of hundreds of animals in need - as well as giving you the warm feeling that you have brightened the lives of these pets while they wait through the holidays for their "forever homes." For each designated gift, we will send a letter to your family member or friend acknowledging your holiday donation in their name.

Our featured pet this week is Penny, a cheerful and good-natured Beagle-mix who makes up for her smaller size with plenty of energy and personality. Penny loves going for walks and playing outside. She is a terrific exercise companion on those frosty mornings when you would prefer to pull the covers over your head! She will reward your efforts with affection and loyalty.

Penny is a bright girl who enjoys learning

Penny new things and simply spending time with the people she loves.

What if you would like to support the shelter, but do not have any money to spare during these difficult economic times? Contact our staff to find out about volunteer opportunities. You can also be creative and come up with a fundraiser through your workplace, local school, or other organization. Our staff would be happy to provide some examples of successful and innovative fundraisers our community members have had in the past!

id you notice there was one day a couple of weeks ago when we had one of those 24-hour weather switcheroos—strong south wind for 12 hours, then strong north wind for 12 hours—and suddenly the trees were bare.

Just like that. Bam. Then it got brown.

That's when you know you're really in it.

Welcome. You have arrived.

Fortunately, we've got some cozy nooks where we can go get together and hang out. One of them is Dogwood Bread Company in Wadhams, where owners Courtney and Keri Fair are hosting the season's first Senior/Community Luncheon on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at noon. The menu includes homemade turkey noodle soup, roasted vegetables, salad, apple crisp, and coffee and tea.

It's open to all, with donations welcome.

Any profits will go to the Westport Food Pantry to help pay for turkeys for this year's Thanksgiving Baskets. If you live in the area but have trouble getting out of the house, call Dogwood at 962-2280 to arrange for free delivery.

And on Wednesday, Nov. 18, Mary Brown will give an illustrated talk at the Wadhams Free Library entitled "What's a Nice Librarian Like Me Doing Handling Aviation Fuel in Antarctica?" The title alone is enough to pique your interest, even if you don't know Mary, who's the former director of the Clinton-EssexFranklin Library System. After she "retired" a few years ago (a word you would-

n't normally associate with her), she had a yen to see Antarctica, where she spent five months at a job that included running a full-size airport. If you do know Mary, then you have an idea of how entertaining her presentation promises to be.

Another cozy spot is the Westport Library, where this time of year you're likely to find a nice blaze crackling in the fireplace. The second meeting of the new Poetry Group will be held there on Thursday, November 19 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. There's no charge, and anyone interested in attending should bring ten copies of a poem they'd like to read and have the group discuss.

The Westport Library is also having its annual Holiday Party on Saturday, November 21 from 6 to 8 p.m., with wine-tasting and a silent auction filled with treasures new and old. Artwork includes pieces by Atea Ring, Patricia Reynolds, and Margo Clark, as well as a print from DaCY Meadow Farm. Other items are Westport memorabilia and gift certificates from the Depot Theatre, the Normandie Club. There's also an overnight in Lake Placid.

As you've probably heard, the Champlain Bridge is overdone toast. Like autumn leaves in strong wind, it's coming down. Word is the temporary ferry solution at Crown Point is still in the works.

The foot-ferry here in town is still running, not to mention the free ride from Essex to Charlotte.

McAuliffe also felt Willsboro could have easily been the winning team.

“Any time you can come here and beat a team that’s as coached as well as Willsboro is, and have players like Lucas Strong and Justin Drinkwine in goal,” he explained. “They’re a great team.”

PLATTSBURGH — Since 2002, the Chazy Central Rural School boys soccer team has taken home five Section VII Class D titles, this year was no exception.

After scoring the only goal of the game by Brandon Laurin, Chazy knew they had to work defensively during the second half.

“We knew that sometimes the elements are a factor and the wind was pretty strong going one way,” said Chazy coach Rob McAuliffe. “We had to win in our favor the first half.”

Despite the one goal lead, McAuliffe was concerned going into the second half.

“We generated quite a few chances in the first half and

Chazy.

“They always possess the ball well,” Lee said. “They always go after it.”

Despite the loss, Lee felt Clay Sherman, Justin Drinkwine, Dakota Sayward, Lucas Strong, Patrick Wells, and Alex Hamel all played an excellent game.

“They all play well up front,” he said.

“We came out ready to go.

We knew our game plan and we stuck with it.”

Tobacco Candy?! You’ve got to be kidding!

O

ne of the country’s leading tobacco companies, R.J. Reynolds, has recently marketed its killer product in the form of candy. Camel Orbs, Camel Strips and Camel Sticks are marketed in mint and fruit flavors and are sold in colorful stylish boxes. Is there a chance that R.J. Reynolds had children in mind when they chose their seductive marketing strategy?

One of my favorite reads is Joseph Heller’s anti war book , “Catch-22.” One of the feature characters is Milo Minder binder. Milo is a shameless self promoter and profiteer. In order to create venture capital, Milo removes and sells the parachutes from American bombers and removes the morphine from first aid kits and replaces them with paper shares in M&M Enterprises. When members of the bomber crews protest his actions he tells them, “What is good for M&M Enterprises is good for the country and for you.”

It appears that R.J. Reynolds has taken a page out of Milo Minder binder’s play book. As tobacco sales have been waning and people are smoking less, tobacco companies are finding new ways to consume their toxic products. Additionally, they want to cultivate new customers and those new customers have been educated about the lethality of their products.

In my recollection, Milo Minder binder exploited just about everyone around him except children. Apparently, even this toxic profiteer would not stoop to the despicable depths of child exploitation. Sadly, tobacco companies appear willing to.

Tobacco candy has the potential to seduce a new generation of users. My generation was seduced by images that projected power and individuality like the “Marlboro Man.” Perhaps, tobacco companies are hoping that candy flavored tobacco will lead children to become adult consumers of their

ne of the most common misconceptions about coupons is that the item that you buy must match the picture that appears on the face of the coupon. It's true that you can use the coupon to purchase the item that's pictured. However, you want to pay close attention to the text on a coupon, too. After all, the text contains the precise information that the coupon's bar code is programmed to deliver at the checkout counter. Which brings us to this week's tip.

SATURDAY November 14, 2009

It's a very common marketing technique for a manufacturer to show a new or more expensive variety of a product on the face of a coupon in the hope that you will buy this new or more expensive variety. If you read the coupon, though, you'll discover that the offer is good for "$1 off any [brand] product." Consider a coupon for a new variety of cold medicine put out by a leading manufacturer. The coupon may show the new, multi-symptom medicine in the picture, hoping that you will want to try it, but the text states clearly that you can use the coupon on any medicine from this manufacturer.

Learning to distinguish between what the photo suggests and the full terms of the deal that the text actually spells out is a skill that can really help shoppers, giving us more freedom to buy the item we may prefer versus the variety shown in the photo. I recently had a coupon for a new variety of skin-care product. It showed a photo of the lotion, and the text read "$1 off [brand] lotion, body wash, or any [brand] product." That wording is key! When I didn't see a good sale for the company's lotions or body wash, I did see a bar of the same brand of soap - for 99 cents.

With my coupon, it was free.

Brand-name sandwich meat is an area where it can pay to read coupon wording closely. People often ask me how to save at the deli counter. It's not always easy to get discounts on fresh-cut cold cuts. But many meat manufacturers sell pre-packaged deli meats, too, and there are often coupons for those. Look closely at the wording on these

products when their purchasing power is greater. In addition, a child that is seeking another “rush high” such as is found in products such as “Red Bull” or other energy drinks will find the same effect from nicotine.

Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances, whether it is smoked, chewed or otherBy Scot Hurlburt wise consumed. The abuse of nicotine can lead to dangerous increases in heart rate and blood pressure.

A new federal law has banned the use of fruit flavored cigarettes because they were so attractive to children. Unfortunately, the ban does not extend to mints or other candy flavored products.

While tobacco that is smoked or chewed can easily be detected by parents or teachers, minty Camel Orbs will not be so easily detected, if at all. In addition, the product has the appearance of ordinary candy. Children could literally be using dissolvable tobacco products right in front of their parents or teachers without anyone noticing.

So far, I am not aware of these products being available in the Northeast; they are only available in southern, tobacco belt areas; so far. If market trials prove profitable, tobacco candy will probably be available everywhere. Remember, all kids count.

coupons. While the coupon may show a boxed or bagged variety of meat, the wording often spells out a wider deal, such as "$1 off 1 package of [brand] sliced meat, or 1lb. of [brand] sliced meats at the deli."

These coupons are a great way to save on fresh-sliced meats of the same brand at the deli counter.

Ready for another tip?

This one involves brand loyBy Jill Cataldo alty. While we all have favorite brands of things, our brand loyalty can cost us in the long run if we aren't shopping smart for those favorite-brand items when they're on sale. Major brands often engage in what the industry calls "price wars" with one another. We see this frequently with items such as pasta sauce, where numerous brands compete to sell what is essentially the same product. Brand A may be cheap one week, but next week Brand B barrels in with an even lower price. This works out well for shoppers who aren't particularly partial to any specific brand. But, if we think "I really like Brand A, and I will always buy it no matter what," it's great when Brand A is on sale for $1.29 a jar and we've got a 75-cent coupon for it. But when the sale ends and Brand A goes back up to $3.29 a jar, we'll be paying the price.

If we can let some of our brand preferences slide a little bit and fluctuate along with the sales, we can save more money in the long run. Next week, I'll share one of the biggest and most surprising tips with you. It involves which days of the week are the least expensive days to shop at the grocery store. You might be surprised to learn what they are! © CTW Features

Halloween event a success

Where exactly did the scarecrow come from? ese word for scarecrow — kakashis — literally means something that smells bad!

In the United States these days, we view scarecrows more as a fall decoration. This association is most likely linked to successful fall harvest celebrations and the idea that the scarecrows helped achieve a successful harvests by keeping birds out of the fields. Though modern experiences and research has shown that birds acclimate to scarecrows. Therefore, the traditional straw-filled scarecrow makes better decoration than bird deterrent!

The decorative autumn scarecrows come in many shapes and styles. While these fall scarecrows probably aren’t scaring too many crows, they are welcome, fun, and attractive additions to the fall garden!

T

he scarecrow is one of the most familiar figures of the rural landscape not only in the United States but throughout the world — especially during the fall months. His ragged figure has been recorded in rural history for centuries. We think of scarecrows as human-like figures stuffed with straw, but farmers have invented many different scarecrows to protect their crops over the years.

Hungry birds have always been a problem for farmers. Birds, such as crows, sometimes ate so much corn or wheat that farmers did not have enough food to last through the winter. So, for more than 3,000 years, farmers have been making scarecrows. As long as birds are hungry, farmers will still look for ways to scare crows!

The first scarecrows in recorded history were placed along the Nile River to protect wheat fields from flocks of quail. Egyptian farmers covered wooden frames with fishing nets. The farmers hid in the fields and scared the quail into the nets. Japanese farmers also began making scarecrows to protect their rice fields.
