Everything is on the table for budget

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Discussion over meetings being held by the Of fice of the Aging Department turned into a budget discussion a day before the tentative budget was scheduled to be released.

Department head Patty Bashaw addr essed the Human Services committee during its Nov. 14 meeting, saying that she had set up a schedule to meet with seniors at dif ferent meal sites concerning the possibility of the pr ogram being eliminated in the 2012 budget.

That did not sit well with County Chairman and Jay Supervisor Randall “Randy” Douglas.

“I had no idea that this was on the table,” Douglas, who is not a member of the committee, said. “We should not rile people up before we

Members of the Firing Squad of members from the American Legion Posts 1319 and 551 fire a 21-gun salute during Veterans Day ceremonies at the Essex County Veteran’s Cemetery in Wadhams on Friday, Nov. 11. The annual Veterans Day ceremony at the Wadhams site, which was created in May of 2006, was attended by around 50 people.

Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew, representing the county as a member of the Cemetery Board, read the official Veterans Day proclamation by New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo, followed by Kim Matthews playing patriotic songs and the Hymn, “Amazing Grace,” on the bagpipes, a firing squad salute and the playing of “Taps.” See more pictures from the event at www.thevalleynews.org.

County Clerk Continued from page 1 Vosburg, who based his campaign on a need for change and the need to r estore “honesty” to the position, said that he was disappointed with the turnout for the election.

“I don’t think that a lot of people got out to the polls compared to the number of er gistered voters in the county ,” Vosburg said. “I know there was not a lot happening in some of the towns, but this was a countywide position and election.”

Both candidates said that they felt they had

run a clean and fair campaign and had worked to the best of their abilities to get their message out to the voters.

“I believe that I played fair during the election,” Provoncha said.

“I felt that I kept it a clean campaign,” Vosburg said. “I feel that I did it to the best of my ability.”

Essex County r esidents weighed in on the election for three positions on the 4th District of the New York Supreme Court: Ann Crowell (4,704), John Lahtinen (4,495); Robert Chauvin (4,263), and John Silvestri (3,275).

“We chose ACAP because of the work that they do and the people that they serve,” Myatt said. “We saw the people in these communities band together to help, and we at Kinney’s wanted to help and give back to these communities.”

Myatt said that the company did Rebuild Campaigns in both Vermont and NewYork, soliciting donations fr om customers and supplying a match in funding to a certain level.

“Our stor es wanted to know in what ways they could help, and that is how the Rebuild C ampaigns w ere st arted,” M yatt said.

KEESEVILLE Rob Ivy • ivy@westelcom.com at the root end, which Amy correctly diagnosed as nematode damage. She sent a sample off to Cornell and indeed the finding was nematode, garlic bloat nematode to be precise. Nematodes are tiny unsegmented worms that afflict both plants and animals, hookworm and pinworm being two examples. The bloat nematode arrives at your garden in infested garlic bulbs and can spread throughout your patch, so don’t plant suspect bulbs.

We have a new neighbor, a young border collie we’ll call Mister B. for the sake of anonymity, who has become fast friends with Ginny. He’s a bit shy but likes other dogs and is full of impish moves, some of which Ginny falls for. She’s not as fast as he, but nevertheless uses her experience to outwit the little scamp from time to time.

According to my hunting friends, lots of does are around, but few bucks. During muzzleloader season, a neighbor inadvertently got two deer with one long shot. He thought he’d killed just one animal, and was surprised to find a second one lying next to it, the bullet having passed through the target and into the second deer.

It was a great weekend trip. Another big event for one of our local was the opening of the new Champlain Bridge for Ruth Pytlak as she was there for the opening of the old bridge in 1929 at the age of 10, and now once again an honored guest for this opening in 2011.

This weekend is the start of the Holiday season with three craft fairs and luncheons here in town. The Holiday Sale at the Methodist Church on Friday and Saturday and a Harvest Luncheon on Saturday, The Catholic Church is also have in Holiday Sale and Lunch on Saturday, and several area crafters will have their wares for sale at the local school all of these events on the same day here in Willsboro, so come join us and start your Holiday shopping locally.

o you have a big heart and a place in your home to temporarily care for a pet who needs some extra attention and care? Do you have an interest in helping dogs or cats who have had a difficult life of abuse or neglect learn to trust and develop social skills? If so, you may be just the right kind of person to become a foster "parent" for an animal who needs this special attention before they are ready to be adopted into a forever home.

The NCSPCA is seeking individuals to foster pets, many with special emotional or physical needs, so that they can overcome past traumas and eventually transition into a permanent home. Fostering homes are under no obligation to adopt the animals in their care, but many foster placements lead to successful adoption. If you would like to make a meaningful contribution to an animal's life, there is no better way to make an impact than to provide a safe and loving environment that will help them to become the best companion animals they can be. To learn more, please contact Pam Rock, Shelter Manager, at 962-8604.

ongratulations to Ben Sudduth for his recognition by the Westport Chamber of Commerce last week as our town's Citizen of the Year. In bestowing the honor, Chamber member Jim Forcier cited not only Ben's decadeslong service as a volunteer firefighter and EMT (Ben is currently captain of the ambulance squad), but also the fact that Ben stepped up last year to donate a kidney to Molly Rascoe, a student at WCS who required a kidney transplant owing to a rare illness.

The award took place during a scrumptious dinner prepared and served by Dacy Meadow Farm at the Heritage House on Thursday, Nov. 10. Nearly all of it was food grown right here in Westport, with veggies from Juniper Hill Farm, along with fresh ham and beef brisket from Dacy Meadow. It was an official Chamber meeting—president Molly Kasriels of Normandie Beach Resort skillfully ran through the agenda as we dug in—but tickets to the event were also available to the public, and the room was full. It was a highly en-

meet her. This sweet, dainty feline recently had her world turned upside-down when her elderly owner passed away. Molly is used to a quiet environment where she could spend her days as a lap-kitty or watching the world go by from a perch by the window. The hustle and bustle of shelter life has been confusing for her at best!

If you are looking for a furry companion who will keep you warm on cold winter nights and has excellent manners, Molly may be the purr-fect addition to your household. Why not stop by and meet her today?

he beautiful, sunny weather last week was wonderful, and we enjoyed it knowing darker winter days are ahead. The good weather also allowed for more work by volunteers on the Footbridge Park and nature trail, which is being built along the river. Last weekend a crew of E-towners met at the park and went to work.

Jessica and Paul Buehler were in charge, swinging axes and shovels and working with chain saws. Bob Rice and Harry Gough used their tractors to haul tons of gravel and dirt, filling in muddy low spots along the trail. Maggie Bartley manned a four-wheeler & trailer, hauling mulch to the nature sites throughout the woods.

Testing out the kid friendly playthings were Bodey & Oakly Buehler. The tree swing, slides and tunnel pipe were a big hit. Though the park was suppose to open in September it looks like it may be ready

by Thanksgiving.

joyable evening.

Accepting the award, Ben noted that he wasn't the only one who went through the screening process for Molly. Aside from members of the Rascoe family, Ben said that Peggy Bolster—like Ben, the parent of fellow students of Molly's at WCS—also volunteered to be checked for compatibility, and that her support during the process helped him a lot. Ben wanted to make sure that she was recognized for her effort, too.

Molly and her family were at the Sudduths' table as we ate. Looking over, I was struck by the strength of the bonds that now tie them all together. Ben's wife Nicole, his daughters Mallory and Megan, Brad and Julie Rascoe, and their daughters Emily and Molly—all of them are now connected by a single selfless act.

Interestingly, Ben sees it slightly differently. From his point of view, he said, it was Molly who was doing something for him, and he was the one who benefitted from the opportunity to do the best thing of his life. I wonder—is that the definition of a hero?

ell the Elections are behind us now and congratulations to all that came out the winners; we hope you serve us well. We have much to be proud of in this community as again this year our Military Veterans were honored for their service. There was a very impressive service held at the school auditorium over 100 were in attendance. This year some of the women who served in the Military, they included Rose Fine, Jean Holihan, Ruth Pytlak, Kenda James, Debbie Sweatt Litenberger and Pat Cinco. The guest speaker was Navy Petty Officer Joseph Hernandez who spoke on his service as a Navy Seal. Ron Bruno gave the highlights of women in the Military over the many wars. They were then treated to a great meal.

Elizabethtown Social Center and North Wind Tours provided a wonderful trip to New York City this past weekend. Around 44 area person joined in to enjoy the new Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall with the Rockettes, a great show. The trip

The Keeseville Revitalization movement received some wonderful exposure in this week’s Press Republican. This is a movement coordinated by Steven Engelhart and the Adirondack Architectural Heritage of which Engelhart is the Executive Director.

Ginny and I couldn’t resist the temptation to see the new bridge, so the other day we drove to Crown Point, crossed the lake, made a couple of stops in Vermont and took the ferry home. It’s a lovely bridge, with more than a bit of art in the design.

The tall central ellipse of the bridge shows itself above the surrounding trees from far off, the way that the stunning Gateway Arch in St. Louis reveals itself long before you actually get to it. I hadn’t been to Vermont in quite a while and was surprised at the very heavy truck traffic on Route 7 and the large number of muddy old Subaru wagons everywhere. They’re not called the Vermont State Car for nothing.

Bartley poised to win in Elizabethtown race

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Incumbent Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew III believes that a one-wor d response he made less than 24 hours befor e the polls opened Nov. 8 may have cost him his position.

That word was “yes.”

Merrihew suf fered a loss in his quest for a sixth term as supervisor, receiving 217 votes, according to the unofficial results released by the Essex County Board of Elections, compared to 226 votes cast for challenger Mar garet “Maggie” Bartley. Ther e ar e currently 42 absentee ballots to be counted.

After the election, Merrihew said he felt the election may have swung on the vote

“I'm e xcited a bout w orking with all of the people in our community to keep Elizabethtown moving forward,” Bartley said. “One of my first ef forts will be to form four citizen committees to help review and make recommendations on impr oving our Golf Course, Parks & Trails, Town Beautification, and most importantly, Emergency Preparedness.”

Bartley said that she wanted those inter ested in helping to contact her at 873-9225 or msbartley@aol.com.

“I welcome all ideas and encourage volunteer ef forts in making Elizabethtown an even better place to live,” she said.

Merrihew said that he felt the town was on solid ground as he pr epares to leave office at the end of the year.

Valley News Editorial

Viewpoint

Crown Point residents: We need vigilance here as well I It’s time to mend fences I

n a Nov. 5 editorial we urged people to get out and vote, saying change in government only occurs when people mobilize over a cause and vote with the majority.

Holding an elected position is not an inalienable right, and anyone who decides to run for office must keep in mind they are at the mercy of the will of the people. Go against that, and you’re subject to be removed from the job.

Nowhere was that more evident this election year than in Crown Point, where voters sent a clear message that they didn’t like the way the board went about eliminating its board of assessors in favor of a sole, appointed assessor.

The town board voted in favor of the move in July, in front of a room packed with emotionally charged residents, many of whom pleaded for a town-wide vote on the subject. Instead, Supervisor Bethany Kosmider joined with trustees Yvonne DuShane and Bob Patnode and adopted the move by a 3-2 vote. Trustees Charles Mazurowski and Tom Walters opposed it.

Under state law, the vote is irreversible.

After the vote, Crown Point assessor Stephen Mackay, shouted “They are going down,” referring to Kosmider, Patnode and DuShane. Soon after, Carl Ross, chairman of the board of assessors, said, “These people are not going to be re-elected.”

And, on Election Day, that’s precisely what happened to incumbents Kosmider and Dushane, who were each soundly defeated. Patnode’s term wasn’t up this election cycle, thus his fate rests in the next go-round.

Obviously feeling empowered and wanting change, Crown Point voters turned out in droves, casting 824 ballots from a total 1,305 registered voters — one of the highest turn outs in the county.

When the dust settled, the people had spoken — supporters of the assessors hit the polls and swayed the vote. Republican Charles Harrington will be sworn in as the

next Crown Point supervisor Jan. 1 and Tara Peters will take her seat on the board alongside Mazurowski, Walters and Patnode.

And, while it is too late to reverse the assessor vote, it appears the group will hold a voting majority on the board.

Now it is time to move on — because the town needs it.

From verbal to physical assaults to spreading rumors to reports of running one another off the road and even gunfire, this issue has divided the otherwise tranquil lakeside community in a near Hatfield vs. Mccoy feud.

But this isn’t West Virginia, and the year isn’t 1878.

This squabble has disrupted town business, it has pitted friends and neighbors against one another. It has wasted town and personal resources that could have been better spent on making the community stronger.

Further, it has put the town — with all it has to offer — in a negative light to tourists, passersby and those who also might someday call Crown Point home.

That furthers the agenda of no one.

In a letter to this newspaper, Crown Point resident Kathy Caswell probably said it best when she said the taunts and signs degrade all Crown Point residents and “make us look ignorant to those who are passing through.”

Caswell urged her fellow Crown Pointers to follow the lead set by the sign at The Frenchman’s Restaurant which reads “Treat our neighbors with respect.”

The people have spoken, the electoral process has worked. Now it is time to again treat one another with respect.

Find alternative to salt To the Valley News: Open: One new grand and glorious bridge! Upcoming winter storms, the first of which will bring about “salt,” the first of many and beginning of the systematic application of corr osive materials destined to destr oy this fine bridge in 70-80 years.

Some years ago, back when “Mac” occupied the title of Town Supervisor in Westport (remembered because of a discussion of this issue), your paper published an article con cerning a pr oduct derived f rom urea, an alternative to salt of all kinds.

Then, the upfr ont cost exceeded various salt pr oducts by a considerable amount.

However, the overall diminished cost to highway, bridge and vehicle destr uction, although not measur ed, must be considered in a cost analysis equation.

Perhaps the time has arrived to take a serious look at this alternative, on a town and county level. If found viable, then local pr essure on the state to do likewise within our county would be in order.

As for the new bridge? Vermont claims a pr edictable gr een friendly attitude, so my best guess would be full cooperation concerning the bridge surfaces.

Time for towns and the county to think innovative, check out alternatives and maybe put ourselves on another first in the state, if not the nation, map. As for research? Companies that sell this pr oduct will have r esearch done, overall cost savings completed (even if somewhat skewed, mor e than a modicum of accuracy), so an expensive engineering study would not be a re quirement for such an adventurous decision.

Blames the paper To the Valley News: An interesting development has occurred in the race for Town Supervisor of Elizabethtown. Our very own Valley News has played a role in determining the outcome.

The issue involves two Letters to the Editor submitted prior to election day . Both came in to the Valley News the week before the election during a time which the V alley News announced it would print no mor e election letters.

The first was a letter fr om Barbara Dunsmore, of Lewis, containing accusations toward incumbent Supervisor, Noel Merrihew.

His name is mentioned 3 times. The V alley News chose to print this letter a few days before the election.

The second letter was submitted by a Town Councilman in Elizabethtown, Michael McGinn. This letter addre ssed an issue involving the other candidate for Supervisor, Mar garet Bartley, a V alley News employee. She writes for the Valley News. The Valley News also distributes a newsletter for Ms. Bartley which presumably she pays for.

The McGinn letter was printed 2 days after the election.

Mr. McGinn was informed that his letter would not be printed prior to election day since it might be construed as political. I believe that’s the intent of all election letters, including the Dunsmor e letter which was a follow-up to a prior voter appeal letter . Bartley’s name wasn’t mentioned in the McGinn letter, but pr operty she owns has been enhanced by litigation against Essex County which has cost the taxpayers close to $100,000 as related to the Otis Bridge mess.

The impact on the election will never be known, but clearly the Valley News chose to allow a smear of one candidate, but deny an elected official equal time to report on an actual event involving the other candidate.

Ask yourself if this is a representation of an unbiased press or was the Valley News protecting one of its own? Ms. Bartley is currently leading a close race.

S

everal recent measures indicate that the majority of American students don’t know who America opposed during World War II. The same measures show that about 40 percent of American students did not know that World War II even happened. It could be argued that World War II was one of the biggest events in history and shaped the course of history and the lives of millions of people.

In all, 16,112,566

By Scot Hurlburt Americans served in World War II, 291,557 Americans lost their lives in combat, and another 670,846 suffered mortal woundings. Now, the median age of American World War II veterans is 87.5. Sadly, just over 1,100 World War II veterans die every day. At the dawn of World War II the draft was instituted and American men between 18 and 38 were drafted and the draft age was later extended up to 45 years of age.

The average age of an American soldier was 26 years old.

In the course of my work, I often encounter veterans of World War II and I consider it a privilege to speak with them and for those that are willing to share, I am riveted by what they share. As I entered his room, I noticed a portrait picture, she is elegant and beautiful, she was his wife that has preceded him. His hands are bent, scared and aching.

Still when I shake his hand his grip is powerful and resolute. I see from his exotic tattoo that he is a Navy man.

After a few conversations I asked him about his military service and he shared that he had been a witness to the aircraft carrier, USS Franklin being hit. It was March 19, 1945, and The Franklin was sailing toward Honshu and Kobe Harbor. While under way, the Franklin was attacked by Japanese fighter planes and was critically struck by two bombs. In an instant, 755 American sailors lost their lives and another 365 sailors were injured.

“As we watched the smoke and fire boiling out of the Franklin we were both angry and helpless,” he said. “I saw battle hardened men, men who had been through many terrible fights, crying like little children. I was one of them. I was 19 years old and scared senseless, but we did our jobs in spite of our fears.”

Another gentleman shared that he had contracted malaria in the pacific theater. He explained that he was at the Solomon Islands and that many American soldiers died not from combat but from malaria. In reality, eight times as many Americans died from malaria and other tropical diseases than from combat. Contracting malaria had made this fine old gentleman so ill that he asked me if he could somehow contract it again.

I told him that the frigid North Country winters protect us from the parasite infected mosquito’s that cause malaria.

“The Japanese were ferocious; they made numerous frontal assaults into our machine guns and mortars,” he said. “To us, they were committing suicide.”

In the end, the Solomons were taken at cost of 3,000 American soldiers and another 10,364 wounded.

“We came home and went back to work and put the war behind us,” he said. “I lost a number of good friends in the war in Europe and in the Pacific. They were, like me, young and wanting to do their duty.”

I have great reverence for these important Americans; we owe them so much for their sacrifices. As American soldiers stood against brutal regimes in Japan and Germany they helped to save the citizens of Europe and the pacific but they were also protecting America. If America had stayed on the sidelines of World war II the outcome of the War might have been different. We must never forget what American soldiers did for us and the world. Returning GIs went to college on the GI Bill, started businesses and helped to create the middle class in America.

The list of remarkable Americans that served in World War II is like a “Who’s Who” in America.

With Veterans Day just past, remember all our veterans and if you can visit the local nursing home or hospital if only to honor their service and to say thank you for the many freedoms that we enjoy and too often take for granted.

Remember. All kids count.

“Once we see the tentative budget, then things will become a lot more clear,” North Elba Supervisor Robert “Roby” Politi said. “Until we see that, then we are just chasing our tails.”

“We should let the budget committee go through their process and go from there,” Douglas said.

“Until the committee has had a chance to look at the figur es, it r eally hard to follow thr ough with anything right now,” Blades said.

Palmer said that the tentative budget will be ready on Nov. 15, at which time the budget committee could start holding meetings on it.

“I am presenting you with a tentative budget that represents the very least amount that we need to run things as they currently are,” Palmer said.

Supervisors said while they do not want to have a budget with an incr ease of mor e than 2 percent on the levy, there were some issues to be looked at.

“It simply gives us an option,” Westport Supervisor Daniel “Dan” Connell said. “We are getting all sorts of comments and almost everything that I am getting is don’t cut everything, but we see letters to the editor that say keep it under the tax cap. If we don’t pass this, we’re locked into cutting all of the services. If we do pass this, we have the option to decide which way we want to go.”

“It’s our move to make it a possibility , but is it our intent,” questioned Keene Supervisor William “Bill” Ferebee.

“I feel we should be open minded as to what the cost of our government is going to be,” Willsboro Supervisor Edward “Ed” Hatch said. “Let our taxpayers know what we are doing here.”

Ware pushes closer, but Connell earns re-election in Westport race Tyler, McCormick tabbed for town council

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Two years ago, Daniel Connell scored an easy r e-election bid over Bruce Ware.

Votes Continued from page 1 what it was 20 years ago. I have been going to sites since 1976 and I can tell you that ther e have never been any problems with the call-ins.”

Board of Elections Republican Dir ector Derinda Sherman said that inspectors were still getting used to r eading the new voting machines, which could lead to inaccuracies on call-in results.

She also said that the state has encouraged counties and towns to stop the practice of calling in r esults.

“The majority of the counties thr oughout the county do it the way that we did it, and the state has discouraged us fr om making the phone calls,” Sherman said. “We had them up by 11 p.m.”

Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell said that he

Have a story to tell?

In their second r unoff, Ware earned more votes, but was still unable to unseat the fivetime incumbent in the Nov . 8 General Election.

Connell r eceived 295 votes based on the unofficial numbers fr om the Essex County Board of Elections, while Ware received 226 votes.

“I’m pleased that the voters of W estport have thought enough of my work to elect me

was able to have the re sults for his town within halfan-hour of the polls closing Nov. 8.

“In W estport, they had the r esults at 9:10 p.m.,” Connell said. “By the time I got home, my wife was home and she had the r esults. By 9:15 p.m., we had the r esults. T o not be able to tell people who won the races until after midnight is crazy. The public is out there saying that this is crazy.”

Sherman said they wanted to follow the recommendations from the state.

“It’s not a legal consideration,” Sherman said. “It is recommended that we do not use the phone calling system. You knew whether you had won or not locally, but you didn’t know if another colleague had won or not.”

Sherman also said that errors in a phone call could lead to suspicion.

“When people see that they have a certain number of votes and then those votes either gain or disappear, then they become suspicious,” Sherman said.

“Do you pr efer to have inaccurate r esults or accurate. The ones on the website are unofficial, but they are 100 percent accurate.”

Sherman also said the board was continuing to train inspectors to be more capable of r eading the machines.

“We changed our training style this year and the inspectors like the style of training, but it is one step at a time,” Sherman said about the new voting equipment. “The mor e election districts that they have, the mor e nervous they can get. Over time they will get better and more familiar with reading the tapes, but they ar e just not there yet.”

to a sixth term,” Connell said. “I look forward to working with the town board and the citizen’s committees. Hopefully, we will continue to work together in the same way that we have during the past 10 years for the future of the town of Westport.”

Ware was curr ently serving as a member of the town council, one of the two seats up in the election.

Fellow incumbent councilman Michael Randy Preston agreed with the assessment.

“It seems to me that it was the pr ocess that was the problem,” Preston said.

“I know what I witnessed was an unfamiliarity with what was playing out.”

“The tapes that come out of those machines ar e not really self-defining,” Keene Supervisor W illiam Ferebee said.

St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Mor ency and Schroon Supervisor Cathy Moses also said that they would like to see r esults faster.

David Blades of fered that the boar d try having election call-ins in 2012 to see if the pr ocess would work.

“What you are hearing is that the supervisors would like to see the r esults quicker,” Blades said. “If we try it and it works, great. But if it doesn’t, then we move on.”

“Ike” Tyler won back his seat with 341 votes.

Former Westport Central School guidance counselor Daniel McCormick won the other seat with 320 votes, while Nancy Page finished with 210 votes.

In u ncontested r aces, S heila B orden r eceived 403 votes in r e-election as T own Clerk, while Town Justice William LaHendro received 434 votes.

“I don’t understand why the inspectors from each district can’t call the town hall and give the unofficial results,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said.

Douglas said that he did not feel like he received an answer as to why the phone system was no longer being used.

“There has to be a better reason than what I am hearing today that these re sults cannot be out ther e

until 11 p.m. or later,” Douglas said. “I am encouraging you to use the phone call system because it works. I honestly don’t care what every other county or town is doing.

We can speed things up with a phone call over here or wher e ever . Obviously mistakes c an h appen o n a phone call, and they do happen. But the unof ficial results should be quicker , not slower.”

Westport names Sudduth Citizen of the Year

By Katherine Clark

Ben, Nicky, Megan and Mallory Sudduth stand with Molly, Emily, Julie and Brad Rascoe after the Citizen of the Year Award ceremony at the Westport Heritage center.

Photo by Katherine Clark me over. I was scared to death.

He has certainly given a gr eat run for this community.”

Sudduth moved to Westport in 1989 and started work at Camp Dudley. Before moving to Westport, he served as a U.S. Marine from 1984 to 1989 as an expeditionary air field technician and an embassy guar d in Germany, a member of the U.S. Air Force Reserves, and in 1999 he was transferr ed to the Vermont Air National Guar d, where he r emains active with the 158th Fighter Wing.

In March 2002, he was deployed to Afghanistan and served du ring O peration E nduring Freedom until January of 2003. He was awar ded the Army Commendation Medal and the Vermont Air National Guard Hometown Salute upon his return.

Sudduth is a member of the Westport V olunteer Fir e De-

partment, wher e he serves as the training of ficer, a captain and EMT of the W estport Emergency Squad.

In 2010, Sudduth gave Westport teen Molly Rascoe his left kidney after she was diagnosed with a rar e disease, for which he asked for no recognition, only that Mollylive a long and happy life.

Sudduth r ecounted the experience, questioning whether his action benefitted Molly or himself more. He said anyone could have given the kidney for Molly , but he felt she helped him mor e by allowing him to be a part of her healing process.

The day Molly was taken to the hospital, Sudduth said he felt helpless and wanted to help.

“The best people in the world were taking Molly away to the hospital, and I’m left

there crying and wondering why can’t I do anything, and apparently one thing I could do was she needed a kidney ,” he said.

It wasn’t two weeks after the transplant, and Sudd uth was back to work.

“Here’s a g uy w ho d oesn’t talk it, he does it,” Forcier said.

“I cant think of a person who is more deserving of this er cognition than Ben Sudduth.”

“Anyone can be a donor ,” Sudduth said, encouraging others to become organ donors by contacting the T ransplant Coordinator at Fl etcher Allen Hospital, 802-847-4774, or visiting www.donatelifevt.org.

“There ar e many ways to help somebody ,” Sudduth said. “It helped me. I may be doing CPR on someone at 3 in the morning and not be able to save them, but I know I saved one person.”

Westport among area, national schools competing for Clorox fund award

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com W E S T P O RT — We s t p o r t Central School is one of two area districts in competing for a $50,000 grant thr ough the Clorox Grant for Schools Program.

The school is seeking the grant to help renovate the basketball and tennis courts that are located on the school grounds, along with work on the sports fields.

High School business

teacher Adam Facteau helped organize that campaign, which gives school the chance to win up to a $50,000 grant toward pr ojects that will help improve a community. Voting for the pr oject r uns thr ough Friday, Dec. 9.

“This is a great opportunity for the students and community members of W estport to come together and seek grant funding in these tough economic times,” Facteau said.

“So far the effort has been very well r eceived and suppor ted by everyone. Many of the stu-

dents in the high school ar e actively voting and r ecruiting other family and friends to vote via social networking.”

The project would entail the tennis courts to be repaired and r e-opened to public use, along with the possibility of bringing back the tennis pr ogram at the school. Ther e would also be a set of stairs, a new backstop and scoreboard located on the softball field, along with renovations to the outdoor basketball court, and renovations to the nature trail.

the school can cast their vote online at www.powerabrightfuture.com/gallery/detail/?nid=1188.

A gift of $1,020 was pr esented to High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care by the Lake Placid Sinfonietta. The money represented half of the total proceeds from raffle ticket sales at Lake Placid Sinfonietta Park Series concerts during the 2011 summer season.

A COLLECTION OF STORIES & PHOTOGRAPHS

Politi re-elected

Reflections, photos and stories of the former historic 1929 Lake Champlain Bridge, to its destruction in late December of 2009 — and finally its rebirth as the new, modern structure that exists today.

NORTH ELBA — Essex County Boar d of Supervisors V iceChairman Robert “Roby” Politi secur ed r e-election as North Elba Supervisor against opponent Derek Doty Nov. 8.

Politi received 1,080 votes in the unofficial count released by the Essex County Board of Elections, while Doty received 530 votes.

“I’m pleased with the result, and I think that it was a vote of confidence,” Politi said. “It’s an indication that people are happy with the direction of the town, so we go on.”

Politi also said that he felt the result was an indication of his work as a member of the boar d of supervisors, who stands as the next in line for the position of chairman.

“There is a lot at stake at the county and we play an influential role traditionally,” Politi said.

In the race for town justice in North Elba, incumbent James Rogers III, defeated Scott Monroe with a unofficial vote total of 733-700. Larry Straight was elected to serve as the Superintendent of Highways in the town, r eceiving 1,132 votes against 481 cast for opponent David Jones Jr. Laurie Dudley (Town Clerk), Jay Rand (council), Bob Miller (council), Arthur Aubin (assessor) and James Bishop (assessor) all won election in uncontested races.

Captain Kenda Clifford James, Ruth Pytlak, Rose Fine, Jean Calkins Holihan, and Debbie Sweatt Leitenberger were part of the annual Veterans Day dinner celebration at Willsboro Central School Nov. 11.

Willsboro hosts Veterans Day dinner WILLSBORO — All the Chur ches of Essex and Willsboro hosted the sevnth annual Veterans Day Appreciation Program and Dinner at the W illsboro Central School, hosting residents from Willsboro and Essex at t he P rogram a nd 1 28 i nvited Veterans and their guest at the dinner.

Because the Navy SEALS wer e so much in the news this year with the captur e of Bin Laden, the gr oup invited EN2 Joseph Hernandez, a Special Warfare Team Scout in the Schenectady Recr uiting Area to speak. He recently left the SEAL Team 2 stationed in Little Cr eek, Va. As an engineering r epresentative, he ensured that all of the SEALS engineering e quipment i s r eady a t a m oment’s notice for deployment or training evaluations. In his new r ecruiting assignment, he is tasked to scout our America’s best and brightest to find people interested in trying out for the Navy SEALS, Navy Divers, Navy Special Boat Drivers, Navy Explosive Or dnance Disposal and Navy Aviation Rescue.

A letter was r ead fr om Richar d Phillips,

the Captain of the Marersk Alabama, an American Cargo Ship. He was held hostage in the Spring of 2009 and was liberated by the Navy SEALS who r ushed to his r escue on the U.S. Navy destr oyer, Bainbridge.

His letter paid tribute to his r escuers, the US N avy S EALS a nd t o a ll t he American military men and women, past and pre sent, who allow us to stay safe and fr ee while they put their lives in peril. Captain Richard Phillips is a r esident of V ermont and has sailed to Willsboro Bay during his time home with his familiy .

The audience was entertained with a musical medley of patriotic songs sung by Richard Mor gan and Chuck Moynan who accompanied on the guitar.

This year ’s pr ogram featur ed, “Honoring Women in the Military,” and Town Historian Ron Br uno gave a brief history and interviewed local female veterans, Jean Calkins Holihan, Rose Fine, Captain Kenda Clifford James – Supply Corp/USNR, Debbie Sweatt Leitenber ger, and Ruth Pytlak.

A letter was also re ad from Pat Cinco Spath.

Ausable River walk held recently KEENE — The Ausable River Association (AsRA) sponsor ed a successful River W alk on Monday, Oct. 24.

More than 60 people came together to learn about balancing public safety and river ecosystem health using various str eam design techniques. Members of the public, town, c ounty, s tate a nd r egional o fficials, and non-profit representatives participated in discussions using examples thr oughout the town of Keene.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s New York Field Office Coordinator, Carl Schwartz, and Trout Unlimited’s John Braico, shar ed their expertise about how rivers work, and how they can best be managed in a way to pr otect homes and businesses. The T own of Keene hosted the speakers along several of the tributaries where damage from Irene-related flooding was severe.

“We met our goal today ,” Dave Reckhan, District Manager for co-sponsor Essex

County Soil and W ater Cons ervation District, said. “We identified what’s been done well in the wake of Irene, future restoration needs, and now , we’ll begin developing those plans and integrating them with the Ausable Watershed Management Plan that AsRA will present late this winter.”

Each stop along the walk presented a specific set of challenges that required protecting landowner ’s pr operty, r econstructing infrastructure, and doing right by the river.

Schwartz stressed that the management solutions that account for the flow and power of a river will require minimal maintenance, cost less over time, best pr otect pr operty, and pr ovide good aquatic habitat. Many such strategies do require mechanized management f or w hich training and r esources are available.

In the next six months, AsRA will complete the Ausable River Watershed Management Plan.

Nuclear Power Seminar in Placid

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — The Northern New York Section of the American Chemical Society will sponsor a fr ee seminar about nuclear power and global energy impacts.

The seminar, “Nuclear Power in Perspective,” will be held at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 17 at the Crown Plaza Resort, Grandview Room A, in Lake Placid. Speaker Dr. Frank Settle, chemistry professor at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, V a., will compar e nuclear and fossil fuels and r enewable energy sources in the U.S. and on a global level.

Settle is a recognized expert in nuclear energy and nuclear science and has been a member of American Chemical Society for 50 years. The American Chemical Society has nicknamed him the “chemistry ambassador.”

Seminar organizer Dr. Vinay Likhite, who is also the dir ector of the Cancer Research Center in Plattsbur gh and the founder and president of the Champlain V alley Immunology Foundation, Inc., said he expects

a br oad range of people to take inter est in the subject.

“I think for people who are worried about nuclear energy, and people who are worried about nuclear terr orists, this is a very serious topic and people should know mor e,” Likhite said.

The presentation will explore the different types, ages and locations of nuclear power reactors in the U.S., including the V ermont Yankee facility in Brattleboro, Vt. One of the goals for the seminar is to provide insight into nuclear power position in the nation’s source of electricity.

“We want a lar ge number of people to be aware of nuclear ener gy,” Likhite said. “It has potential to be a huge pr oblem. The world is much mor e danger ous than we think.”

Settle’s presentation will compare the cost of generated electricity with natural gas and coal and provide a perspective on the future of the energy sources in the U.S. Settle will also addr ess issues associated with pr oliferation of nuclear weapons and global warming.
