New boiler at AuSable Valley

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com R AY B R O O K — T h e Adirondack Park Agency Board of Commissioners began its look at the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort Nov. 17 and 18 at APA Headquarters in preparation for making a decision on the project in January.

The APA Board will take most of its meeting time in November, December and January to deliberate on the resort’s permit (2005-100, Preserve Associates, LLC).

The project, located around the Big Tupper Ski Area in the town of Tupper Lake, is the largest development proposed in the 6-millionacre Adirondack Park’s history and could be used as a precedent for future development.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors started to look into trimming a 2012 tentative budget that called for a $23,851,238 tax levy.

The number represents a 9.5 percent increase to the net cost of the 2012 budget over the $21,786,435 required in 2011.

However, without making use of fund balance or any

other transfers, the number represents an initial 62 percent increase over the 2011 tax levy, which was $14,724,045.

Lowering that number was the job the Budget Committee at the county started to work on during their first meeting Nov. 17.

“We have to be concerned about our duties to the taxpayers,” Joyce Morency, St. Armand Supervisor and chair of the budget committee said.

County now smoke free on the outside as well keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — On the Great American Smokeout Day, all properties at Essex County — both inside and outside —went smoke free.

A new regulation passed by the Board of Supervisors in October added smoking restrictions to outdoor county property Nov. 17, a policy that was drafted by a committee headed by Jessica Darney Buehler of the Department of Public Health.

Darney Buehler said that the committee that looked at the new regulations started a year ago and included members of the Board of Supervisors, employees from different county departments and help from other community-based organizations.

“This was an attempt to put together a policy that would be accepted by most at the county,” Darney Buehler said. “We conducted an employee survey which was used to help create the policy. It was a nice committee that was put together

Absentee ballots Continued from page 1 In Elizabethtown, Margaret “Maggie” Bartley also added to her lead, with a 2821 advantage in the absentee ballots and a 254-238 lead over incumbent Noel Merrihew III. Both towns currently have one military ballot that was requested and has yet to be

counted.

The ballots were counted by the Essex County Board of Elections Nov. 16 at 9 a.m.

(Elizabethtown) and 11 a.m.

(Essex).

In Essex, one ballot was challenged and not opened, while another was opened and not counted because the markings on the sheet were not proper.

Of course this car is also absurd to drive on the public roads and probably indicates arrested development among the almost always male owners. Nevertheless, I got in and was treated to an out and back on the Northway that featured a couple of bursts of jet-like acceleration to well over 100 miles an hour. Dear readers, I did not say slow down, nor did I encourage such law breaking- I was grinning too much.

The film society is presenting “Surprises,” this Saturday night at the Willsboro School at 8 p.m. The reviews say it’s a dramatic love story with a lot of comedy, or maybe it’s a drama full of comedy and love scenes. Something like that. It’s only $5, so if you still have Thanksgiving house guests, send them off to the show and have a quiet evening at home. The film society, as you probably know, is actually the Champlain Valley Film Society, but as I’ve said before, that’s a lot of typing so I shorten it a little.

his week, the NCSPCA would like to take a moment to thank all of the generous members of our community who have donated time as volunteers, "foster parents" to special needs animals, and who have helped provide for the care of our furry friends through donations and fundraising efforts. Our Fall 2011 issue of Pawprints highlights some of the ways local community members have found creative ways to raise funds for our shelter. Catie Maye and her family in Port Henry held a bake sale in Port Henry, raising $1,201 from sales of delicious muffins, cakes and pies. The Byrum family in Keene Valley raised over $100 holding a lemonade stand. Four enterprising young girls in Hague also raised $300 by holding a bake sale. Maillane Morrison and Olivia Hess teamed up to hold a combined dog wash and lemonade stand in Essex, raising over $300. And nine young animal enthusiasts organized "Point Run for Pets" in Willsboro - a race and lemonade stand which raised $61 and collected bedding for the shelter cats and dogs. Efforts such as these make a huge difference, and show that a little ingenuity can go a long way.

Our featured pet this week is Missy, a Terrier-mix who was surrendered to us when a new addtion came into her family.

Missy was frightened by the new baby in her home and she was unable to adjust to

at St. John the Baptist Church in Keeseville and then the next night, Dec. 11, again at 7:30 p.m. at St. Augustine’s Church in Peru. The Choir is under the direction of Jeanette R. Woodruff and Carol Bachand is accompanist. This is a free event and promises to be a beautiful evening of music.

I wish to thank every one who knows of my Seton connection and sent me sympathy regarding last week’s horrible tragedy.

I do appreciate it as it truly is a sad thing.

Actually, I am librarian and technology teacher, coordinator for the elementary school and so never knew the poor students, but my son was friends with them so I am grateful to share your sympathy with him. As a teacher, I relish the environment that kids’ energy provides. It is such a vibrant, full of life experience so something like this is truly shocking and numbing. Again, my thanks.

Stay safe and well everyone.

Janice Allen • 963-8912 • allens@willex.com ur community’s fall activities are popping up quickly; this past weekend was a busy one with three local groups having their annual craft sales and luncheons. The weather was good and many people came out for these events making it successful for all of the groups. Now Thanksgiving is also behind us and hopefully families had a chance to get together and share the many things they have to be thankful for as we are able to come together.

The next big events to watch for are the first weekend in December with the Annual Congregational Church’s Greens Tea and holiday sale. They feature crafts, baked goods, holiday wreaths, and serve a light lunch all this starts at 9 a.m. and continues into mid afternoon. The Paine Library features local and area craft people’s work for sale during their regular hours. There are several events going on down in Essex for the holiday season, if you take it all in it will take up most of your day on Saturday,

very happy Thanksgiving to all the readers. As anyone who reads my column will know, I have a lot to be thankful for with living in the Keeseville community.

During my morning walk to catch the bus last week I noticed a new street sign and am glad to see we have another new business in Keeseville.

T-n-T Bakeshop opened up this past week downtown next to Mac’s Grocery. I believe the hours are Thursday through Saturday from 6 am until 4 pm and special orders are welcome. I haven’t had a chance to explore it yet, but very much looking forward to visiting it and will report back here what I find. I wish the business well and thanks for providing something new to our community. See, something else to be thankful for!

I received an email concerning an upcoming concert. The 46th Annual Christmas Concert for the Keeseville-Peru Ecumenical Choir will be Dec. 10, at 7:30 p.m.

id you know that if you call 911 in Westport or any of our neighboring towns, chances are you'll get a volunteer responder? A neighbor? A farmer from down the road, a schoolbus driver, a member of the town crew, a shopkeeper, a small business owner, a store clerk, a handyman, a parent, a son, a daughter of friends…these and more like them are the people who make up our volunteer fire departments and ambulance squads.

When you call 911 from one of these communities, here's what happens. The phone rings at the dispatch office in the Essex County Public Safety Building in Lewis, and the dispatcher asks if you have an emergency. Response comes in three basic flavors: police, fire, and medical. Based on what you say, dispatch activates the appropriate agency or agencies. Police officers (troopers and deputies) are paid professionals. The other two flavors, firefighters and EMS (emergency medical services), are mostly volunteers, though some towns in the area have professional EMS staff on duty.

In Westport, the fire department and ambulance squad are both all-volunteer services. That means that for any non-police emergency in the town of Westport, it's regular men and women from the community who are called. They may be in bed, in the shower, at work, walking the dog, eating a meal, watching TV, putting some wood on the fire, whatever.

Beep-beep-beep-beep—a string of short beeps on the pager means fire department.

Beeeeeep. One long beep means ambulance squad. Sometimes, as when someone calls in a car accident, it's both. Beep-beepbeep-beep-beep. Beeeeeeeeeep. Some are members in the fire department, some are members in the ambulance squad, many are in both. The pager is also a radio receiver, and after the tones, dispatch gives you the information.

Then you drop whatever you were doing, if you can, and you go. Sometimes you can't drop everything and go, or sometimes you're out of town when the pager goes off. Then you fret a little bit. Because you know that somewhere out there, your friends and neighbors are serving in your place. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

the changes. With regret, her owner brought her to us. Missy is a 15-pound bundle of energy who adores her walks and would make a terrific hiking partner.

She loves to chase chipmunks and squirrels, and thinks it would be wonderful if you would join her in the hunt! She definitely enjoys being "on-the-go", but at the end of the day, she will happily curl up on your lap for some cuddle time. Missy would be an ideal dog for someone who works from home, as she simply can't get enough companionship. If you are looking for a friend who is both the ideal exercise partner and also appreciates curling up by the fireplace on a chilly winter evening, Missy is the dog for you!

t’s the gift-buying season, and in Elizabethtown we don’t have to wait until Black Friday, (after Thanksgiving) to start our shopping. The craft sale this past Friday at the Horace Nye home started the shopping season. Local artists and craftsmen displayed their creations including jewelry offered by TJ White, and intricate woodwork puzzles and toys made

by Ken Robbilard. The baked good table was crowded and the cakes and cookies were going fast.

On Dec. 2, the 57th annual Elizabethtown-Westport Garden Club Greens Tea will be held at the UCC Parish Hall of from 11am-2 p.m. Lunch will be served 11:301:00pm. Funds raised by the Greens Tea goes to the Hospital, Emergency Squad and Hospice. Items for sale include holiday decorations, plants, jewelry, and baked goods.

Another place to go for local gifts is the Adirondack Council. They offer Adirondack calendars, books by Sheri Amsel our hometown artist and author, ADK stationary, mugs, hats and bags. There is also a raffle for a winter landscape oil painting

by Paul Matthews. You can shop at the

ADK Council office on Hand Ave., across the street from the Farmer ’s Market.

A long overdue cheer is in order for George & Julie Huttig of Adirondack Auto.

Recently, the Press Republican Cheers & Jeers section recognized the Huttigs for their service to our community. Back in July they cleared their lot of vehicles to provide space for spectator parking on Elizabethtown Day. It’s not easy to find room to park 50 or more cars along Court Street on parade day. This meant festivalgoers could park close to the route and watch fireworks from the comfort of their cars. The Huttigs performed a true community service by giving up their sales space for a day.

On a different note, a group of actors, directors and film crew descended on E-town last week. While their stay was short, they worked from dawn to late in the night. The rooms at Park Motor Inn and Cobble Hill Inn were filled. What was it all about? The group from New York City was filming at the old missile silo located in north Lewis.

Rumor has it that the move, called “Silo,” will be a thriller. Perhaps our local Champlain Film Society will be able to show it.

’m sorry to report that my neighbor James Barrett died earlier this month on Long Island at age 60. He owned “the old Sherman place” on Jersey Street, and took pride in the many years of carpentry work and landscaping he put into keeping up the house and many outbuildings. James wasn’t from around here but sort of intuitively knew everyone in the neighborhood. I didn’t see a local obituary, but he did leave us a dignified and well preserved farmstead, and for that I’m grateful.

One of the benefits of working at the transportation museum in Plattsburgh is I get to see (and hear) a lot of exotic cars which we store for customers over the winter. Being an untested and junior member of the staff, I never get to drive these cars, An electric golf cart is all I’m allowed to operate so far. However, the other day a Ford GT paid a call, and although I didn’t drive it, I was offered a ride. This is a street legal race car with a 550 horsepower

Honor Society helps Lewis shelter

Members of the Elizabetht own-Lewis National Honor S ociety volunteered at the Throwaway Pups Rescue Shelter Oct. 30.

LEWIS — The Elizabethtown-Lewis National Honor Society and additional volunteers helped to prepare Throwaway Pups Rescue Shelter in Lewis for winter on Sunday, Oct. 30.

The goal of the student organization was to help the local animal rescue prepare their new shelter for the winters, with about 20 people got together and volunteered about five hours each.

The event was organized

by Brody Hooper, a NHS member, along with owners Brandy Barnes and Jessica Munoz.

“I have been volunteering

at the rescue for a few weeks now and thought it would be a great way to raise interest and awareness of the shelter in our town,” Hooper said. “It is hard for just this one family doing all this work themselves and thought it would be great for the community to chip in to the shelters positive efforts.”

The shelter is currently holding 20-plus dogs, and five cats.

After taking out the dogs, cleaning up after their night, the volunteers then insulated and put of sheet rock in the two main holding room for dogs. They installed two heaters to help keep the dogs warm. The work was appreciated by the owners.

Help a community under siege

F

rom railroad tracks to a controversial mountainside resort, more and more people outside Tupper Lake are claiming to know what’s best for this community.

It’s only 22 miles from Tupper Lake to Saranac Lake, but it might as well be 2,200 miles from the opposite direction. Average Saranac Lake and Lake Placid residents don’t usually visit unless they’re driving through. That’s why it’s so surprising outside groups are now interested in Tupper Lake.

But are these people joining the proactive, grassroots movements to reopen the ski center, rebuild the train station, and bring tourists and businesses to the Tip Top Town? Are they trying to help the community?

The answer is no. They’re motivated by their own interests. Instead of assisting a community that needs economic help, they’re swooping in with their own agendas and trying to take over.

At a time when Next Stop! Tupper Lake is working to restore the railroad tracks to Saranac Lake — extending the Adirondack Scenic Railroad’s Saranac Lake-Lake Placid excursion and bringing more tourists to town — members of the new Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates (ARTA), based in Saranac Lake, are lobbying the state to tear up those tracks so they can build a recreational path.

At a time when ARISE (Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving Their Economy) is working to support the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort project on Mount Morris, environmental groups like the Adirondack Council, based in Elizabethtown, and Protect the Adirondacks, based in Schenectady, are trying to minimize the development, in essence destroying an ambitious proposal to bring tourists and jobs to Tupper Lake.

On the surface, this feels like another case of outsiders trying to protect the Adirondacks from the Adirondackers; however, the anti-railroad and anti-ACR efforts have a new twist. Key players in these groups are Adirondack residents, and many have comfortable jobs or retirement plans. Some are even supporting both ARTA and the Adirondack Council, which shows they don’t really have Tupper Lake’s best interest in mind. It sounds like these groups are trying to protect Tup-

per Lake from the Tupper Lakers.

While there’s heavy interest outside the Blue Line in these two cases, they are simply the latest clashes in an undeclared, parkwide civil war — a fight between the haves and the have-nots, the environmentalists versus the property rights supporters. It’s a fight to determine what’s best for the Adirondack Park, and those beliefs don’t always jive with what’s best for Adirondack residents.

Today, Tupper Lake is a community under siege, and while that sounds corny from the outside, it’s all too real for the residents inside fighting for survival. For those who have faced adversity or been the underdog, this is your story.

With its industrial heritage, Tupper Lake is a blue collar town at heart, filled with friendly, honest and hard-working people.

They have a history of reinventing their economy no matter the challenge. When the softwoods ran out, they turned to hardwoods. They attracted a federal hospital. When the feds moved out, they attracted the state to run Sunmount for the developmentally disabled.

But times have been tough lately. The wood products industry has faded away.

OWD is gone, along with Ames, Hackett’s, A&P and a number of small businesses.

We shouldn’t dictate how anyone else should live. Let’s support ARISE and Next Stop! Tupper Lake. Let’s get the Adirondack Scenic Railroad to the Junction depot within three years. Let’s get the Adirondack Club and Resort up and running.

Let’s get the Tupper Lake economy back in tip-top shape.

Learn more at www.tupper-lake.com.

Now, more than ever, Tupper Lakers need your help, and they have much to offer. They know where they’re going and how to get there.

Members of ARTA, the Adirondack Council, Protect the Adirondacks and all those manning the roadblocks to Tupper Lake’s future, if you’re not going to help, please get out of the way.

Valley News - 7

Position defined

Listen to the authority

To the Valley News: Adirondack Architectural Heritage supports the preservation of the contributing historic features, including the railroad tracks themselves, of the New York Central Railroad, Adirondack Division, corridor, which is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places. AARCH also supports the multiple public and nonprofit use concept for the corridor as envisioned and outlined in its management plan.

Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) is the private nonprofit, historic preservation organization for the Adirondack Park. AARCH has a membership of more than 1500 people and is dedicated to protecting and preserving the irreplaceable architectural heritage, historic places, and communities of the region. In addition to our far-ranging educational programs, technical assistance work, and partnership projects, AARCH has helped to successfully solve several contentious conflicts over the preservation of historic and cultural resources, including at Camp Santanoni, several fire observation towers, the Bow Bridge, Debar Pond Lodge, and the Old Stone Barracks.

The New York Central Railroad, Adirondack Division corridor is an historic resource of great importance. This railroad made it possible for the interior of the western and central Adirondacks to be more widely settled and to prosper economically. Its significance is evident by its listing on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places.

We concur with the opinion of the Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation that the “removal of the railroad tracks from the historic right-of-way would be considered an Adverse Impact ... and would diminish those qualities which made the railroad State and National Register of Historic Places eligible.”

It is our position that the railroad tracks should remain in place and that the corridor should continue to be used for multiple purposes as was envisioned by the management plan adopted for the corridor in 1996.

Steven Engelhart, Executive Director Adirondack Architectural Heritage

rom all reports, the Occupy Keene Valley event on Sunday did not result in the use of pepper spray.

However, that has not been the case in the rest of the country, where we see videos of police using pepper spray or other force to get people

by Keith Lobdell to leave or stop doing what they have been told they cannot do.

In other words, the police are being victimized for doing their jobs.

Why is it that we are only getting one side of the story from these events?

Why is it that all we see on the national news are the cell phone videos of people who are inciting the situation now trying to show that they are victims?

The fact of the matter is, the police that have been overseeing occupy events or political protest have gone above and beyond their call, keeping the peace and keeping both the protesters and onlookers safe.

When the powers-that-be say that it is time for the people to leave, then the police have a change of job description.

They need to make sure that the decrees of policy makers are upheld. It’s their job.

Now, while there is always a rogue, for the most part, the police have given plenty of warning and then went about clearing areas. The problem happens when those protesting believe that they are bigger than the law and start chanting and causing a problem instead of following rules.

You see, when the police ask you to do something, there are two choices: say yes, and everyone remains happy and all smiles. Or, say no, and someone could be getting pepper sprayed or even tazed.

Now, for something completely different.

At one of the regional games I attended this year, there were a couple of fans who were making a little noise because they disagreed with a referee’s call.

They made a huge fuss over it, yelling and screaming and claiming that the call affected the outcome of the game.

They even got their friends involved, all trying to make a point that the ref ’s call was the be-all end-all of the game.

It wasn’t. The official’s decision to make the call had no impact on the game whatsoever. The officials didn’t score any goals. The officials did not put the practice time in to prepare for the games. The officials did not put the player into a position where a foul could be called that could be seen as wrong.

Yes, fans do get upset when a call does not go their way, but to use that one call to say that the entire game was thrown because of it and not look at the bigger picture is something that kids do when they don’t get their way, not adults. It makes people look immature, irresponsible and as if they want to blame everything else except what most likely really happened — the one team was just better than yours on that day.

It’s a life lesson that can be applied in a lot of other situations, as well.

Have you stopped into Westport Trading Co.?? The stained glass is amazing! Westport is blessed with MANY local artists, Visit the Women of Westport Art Show at The Depot Theatre.

For my niece, horseback riding with Lindsay Pontius and/or Piano lesson(s) with Rose Chancler.

For out of town family or friends? A night's stay at one of our Inns, The Hotel, Normandie or camping space at one of our campsites. Let us do the pampering, you get a visit without even cleaning the guest room!

A golf lesson! or gift certificate towards their summer membership.....not to mention the gift shop, I mean pro shop :>) OH speaking of gift shops, nowhere can you top The Bessboro Shop, the Shipstore at the Marina or The Pink Pig. As for Bookstores, last I checked Borders closed?? You can not beat the selection at The Inn Bookstore or Dragon Press and the expertise you will get from Kathryn or David as you peruse.

Now, thinking out of the box: A gift certificate for telephone service from Chazy & Westport Tel. for a month or two keeps that money in your friend or housekeeper's pocket! Same is true at the Veterinary Hospitals, pay their bills in advance!

Why not open a Christmas account at the bank for your kids for next year, show them how their money will grow.

How about a guided hike with Elizabeth Lee or CATs? Throw that in with a night at one of our Inns and it is perfect for that out of town family member.

Should I go on?? Oh, how about our realtors you might ask? That is a no brainer: Support our local businesses!! It keeps Westport vibrant and helps them to market our homes.

To the Valley News: It's that time of the year again for community members to take a little time out of their schedule and pocket to assist in making a joyous holiday season for families less fortunate. As this concern arises each year, we believe the need will be greater in our community due to the devastation and loss endured by Tropical Storm Irene.

The Fifth Annual Holiday Toy Drive (Sponsored by M&M Diner) has begun and toys/electronics for child/youth/girl/boy are in great need. Also in need are the following items for meal baskets: turkey/potatoes/canned vegetables and stuffing/dinner rolls/pies.

If you wish to donate to the toy drive and/or toward a holiday meal basket, please contact Cindi Murphy at: 647-8264/murphycindi@yahoo.com or Kelly Murphy at 524-5806/kirish212@yahoo.com. Monetary donations are greatly appreciated as well.

Families in need are strongly encouraged to obtain a confidential application at M&M Diner in Au Sable Forks and returned no later than Dec. 15. The Annual Toy Drive will only assist the following communities: Au Sable Forks, Jay, Upper Jay and Black Brook.

Your continued support is needed and greatly appreciated.

Happy Holidays!

Willsboro Supervisor Edward “Ed” Hatch said the county needed to be careful when dealing with something that would impact the tourism industry.

“The county’s main industry is tourism,” Hatch said. “Not only is this important for tourism but it is also important to those who live here. I think that we should be trying to expand this facility to make it bigger and better.”

“No one debates the impact that this has on the economy, but we want to find out if it can be done for less to the taxpayers,” Jay Supervisor and Board Chairman Randall “Randy” Douglas said.

sure it was looking at comparable stocking patterns to what the hatchery currently runs.

“They have to be the right sized fish, the right age fish, and delivered to where we want them to be delivered,” Morrow said.

Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell said that the county needed to look at every place they could to save money.

“Without getting the information on all of these projects, we are not doing our due diligence,” Connell said. “We have to look at everything.”

Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider did not comment during the discussion but said later during debate on the Horace Nye Nursing Home that she had voted in favor of the resolution because “we have to look at all of our options.”

Budget Continued from page 1 County Manager Daniel Palmer said that he had already worked to trim the budget from what departments had requested, which totaled a $28,186,363 increase to the levy.

“There are some positions that were not filled that were the year previously,” Palmer said. “Went through every equipment line for cuts. At that point, I decided that the appropriate thing to do was present the tentative budget with everything that we currently provide at the minimum amount that it would take to keep them.”

In 2011, the tax rate for county residents was $2.13 per $1,000 of assessed property value. Under the first draft of the tentative budget, that would rise to $3.53. And $156,000 is average residential property value in Essex County County Budget Officer Thomas “Tom” Scozzafava said that while the county portion of the tax rate is low, people have a perception that taxes are to high as a whole.

“It is the overall impact, not just the county portion,” Scozzafava said. “They don’t really care if you try and separate this out, it’s what they pay in total taxes. The public perception is that we are living way beyond our means and we pay these big fat salaries to the department heads.

“The reality is, most people pay less in property taxes to the county portion than they did in 2004,” he added. “I tried to use that point with one of my constituents and it didn’t fly.”

Palmer gave a list of programs to the supervisors that were “items that we are able to do something with one way or the other.”

Greens Tea event set ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown-Westport Garden Club will hold its traditional Greens Tea on Dec. 2, at the United Church of Christ Hall in Elizabethtown from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will include a boutique with vintage jewelry and gifts and Greens Room with centerpieces and wreaths.

In trying to find cuts, the committee voted to cut funding to contracted agencies by 22.5 percent across the board.

Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston said that he would rather look at eliminating funding to contract agencies.

“If we are going to lay off our own employees and then subsidize someone else’s employees, then I say we take them out,” Preston said. “Are they just relying on the Essex County taxpayers to provide that service? Would they be able to reach out and try to get their own funding instead of on the backs of the taxpayers? We gotta start making some choices, and in my opinion we need to take it out.”

North Elba Supervisor Robert “Roby” Politi said that whatever was done, it should not show favoritism toward one group or another.

“Why don’t we just go in the direction that all of the contract agencies are out,” Politi said. “That way you are not picking issues and it affects us all.”

“LifeFlight is a contract agency, and we all know that we are not going to pull the plug on them,” Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew III responded.

Merrihew, while not on the Budget Committee, offered the idea of a 22.5 percent cut to contracted service providers that was approved.

“They pay some of their top people a lot of money — more than we are accustomed to and for some reason, it is difficult to get that information,” Scozzafava said. “We should come up with a number and cut them across the board 25, 30 percent. Cut them all across the board at a certain percentage and it is what it is.”

“It would be difficult for me to say blan-

ket cut them all,” Keene Supervisor William Ferebee said.

The committee also voted to eliminate $500,000 in equipment spending under the highway department portion of the budget.

The committee also looked into having a tax sale, which could generate up to $1 million in the collection of unpaid taxes in the first months of 2012, according to Morency.

“We are trying to bring in revenue that we already have on the book,” Morency said.

“We are looking hard at a three-year tax sale.

The committee also talked about having an amnesty period, but Palmer said he was concerned about setting a precedent.

“My concern is tax flow,” Palmer said. “If we do one amnesty, people are going to say that they are going to do another amnesty and we will just wait until then to pay our taxes.”

Palmer added that he would also look at putting $3.5 million in fund balance into the budget to help bring the levy down.

Following the budget committee meeting, the members of the Essex County workers’ union were to meet to discuss a proposal from the county that would have resulted in a contract extension with no pay increases in 2012 and 2 percent increases in 2013 and 2014.

According to Board Chairman Randall “Randy” Douglas, all indications were that the union voted against the option, which will lead to cuts in personnel.

“I am hearing feedback that they did not accept our offer of no increase next year and 2 percent increases in the next two in order to extend the contract,” Douglas said. “We will begin to start the process of eliminating positions, and we are looking at between 12 and 25.”

All arrested on Nov. 18 appeared in Essex County Court, where Judge Richard B. Myer in Elizabethtown; with only one making bail and not being sent to the Essex County Jail.

Robert LaFountain of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Troop B said that the arrests and investigation dealt with the possession and/or sale of controlled substances, which in most cases were prescription drugs including hydrocodone, morphine, oxycodone, Suboxone and fentanyl. The investigation also targeted the potential use or sale of marijuana.

Regional bullying conference set in Tupper Lake

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — A conference to educate the region about the dangers of bullying is set for next week.

The conference, sponsored by the Family Champions, will be held Dec. 1, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Ivy Terrace, 38 Boyer Ave. A smaller conference will be held Nov. 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. for those unable to attend the Dec. 1 event. The conference is open to all Clinton, Franklin, Essex, Clinton, Hamilton, and St. Lawrence County residents.

The goal is to educate parents, teachers, students and anyone involved in the development of a child how bullying can affect a student’s long-term educational goals and development.

The conference is an opportunity to educate the community about the new laws that will take effect in 2012. Speakers will a l s o d i s c u s s t h e l o n g - t e r m e ff e c t s o n a child’s self-esteem as a result of bullying, how schools are currently handling bullying situations, and how bullying affects relationships.

APA meeting Continued from page 1

Making history Commissioner Leilani Crafts Ulrich, of Old Forge, began her first meeting as chairwoman on Nov. 17. She was appointed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Nov. 9 to replace Curt Stiles, who retired as commissioner and chairman during the summer.

“This is history,” Ulrich said, explaining that she is the first female chair of the APA Board and she was sitting with the first female APA executive director (Martino) and the first APA commissioner from St. Lawrence County, Sherman Craig of Wanakena, who was named to the board on Nov. 9.

“For my mother, my daughters-in-law and granddaughters — for girls and women known and unknown, I am delighted to mirror each of our aspirations and to have the privilege of building on the work I have done in the past seven years here at the Agency and now in my appointment as Chairwoman,” Ulrich said.

Meetings explained APA Counsel John Banta looked around the APA Board room Nov. 17 and likened the setup to a courtroom; however, he explained that the meetings over the next three months are technically part of an “administrative adjudication,” not a court proceeding. The 11member APA Board (eight commissioners and three designees) will be reviewing the findings from the previously held adjudicatory hearings and make a decision on the resort permit based on “fact and law.” Adjudication is a less formal procedure than a courtroom hearing with a judge and gives “substantial latitude in deliberation” compared to a court proceeding, Banta said.

In March and June 2011, the APA compiled evidence on the resort project during an exhaustive set of adjudicatory hearings. During the Nov. 17 meeting, Martino listed the amount of findings Board members will use to make their decision: 49 parties; 23 witnesses; 4,486

passed in 2010 to protect New York state’s public school students from harassment and bullying, will be going into effect in 2012. Shelly David, Parent Training Coordinator for the Northern Regional Center for Independent Living, will discuss the new law and explain how it will affect students.

“Bullying is a big form of mental abuse that doesn't go away,” said Karen Pioli, conference coordinator and executive dire c t o r o f F a m i l y C h a m p i o n s . “ P h y s i c a l hurt, like a cut, that goes away. But things that are said to you and done to you stay there forever.”

B u l l y i n g c a n a ff e c t c h i l d re n i n m a n y ways. In some cases, according to a study

by DealingwithBullies.com, the effects of bullying carry through to adulthood. Bullying can lead to depression, low self-esteem, students cutting class or dropping out of school, and, in more tragic cases, it can lead the victim to attempting or committing suicide.

G u e s t s p e a k e r To m O ’ C l a i r w i l l b e speaking about mental effects of bullying and share his personal experiences after his son, Timothy, lost his battle with mental illness and committed suicide.

Timothy O’Clair, the namesake of Timothy’s Law, committed suicide just weeks b e f o re h i s 1 3 t h b i r t h d a y. A n d t h e O ’ Clairs’ insurance company did not cover the mental healthcare treatments they believed Timothy needed.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is currently looking closely at how bullying can lead to what is now being called bullycide, suicide as a result of bullying.

Pioli said the goal for Family Champions is to provide education to the community to advocate the healthiest and happiest life children can achieve.

“Life is too short for children or adults to be unhappy,” Pioli said. “Bullying totally demolishes self-esteem. If they lose their self-esteem as a child, then their s e l f - e s t e e m a s a n a d u l t w i l l b e re a l l y gone.”

Speakers of the conference include Tom O’Clair, Kelly Wright, Tracy Killar, Seth McGowen and parents.

Those interested in participating in the conference are asked to register by Nov. 28. For more information or to register for t h e c o n f e re n c e , c a l l 3 5 9 - 9 11 0 o r e m a i l familychampions@yahoo.com.

pages of testimony; 12 reply statements; 17 closing statements; 288 exhibits; and 256 drawings.

Executive team APA staffers set up the Board room for this month’s meeting to accommodate extra for the Executive Team.

In addition to Martino and Counsel John Banta, who always sit at the Board table, the team includes Deputy Director of Regulatory Programs Rick Weber; Environmental Engineer Greg Bendell; Senior Natural Resources Planner Matt Kendall; and biologist Ed Snizek. The Executive Team will provide aid and advice to the APA Board during the three-month deliberation process.

The Executive Team is separate from the APA Hearing Staff, who had reviewed the project and filed recommendations after the fact-finding adjudicatory hearings.

Members of the Executive Team gave an overview of the resort project and began explaining 10 issues with the proposal during the two-day meeting.

About the project The 2005-100 project application was filed by Preserve Associates, LLC (Sponsor), and Big Tupper, LLC, Tupper Lake Boat Club, LLC, and Oval Wood Dish Liquidating Trust (Landowners) for an Agency permit for a mixed commercial and residential development on the sites of the former Big Tupper Ski Area, former McDonald’s Marina and the surrounding Oval Wood Dish lands. The development proposal was first announced in February 2004.

The project site is about 6,235 acres of property, including about 1,800 feet of frontage on Lake Simond and about 235 feet on Big Tupper Lake at the marina.

The applicant proposes to develop a planned resort development with a ski center, marina, 60-unit inn, 719 single-family and multiplefamily residential dwelling units (including “great camp” lots).

The applicant proposes to undertake the project in four phases over 15 years. The Adirondack Club is being marketed as an Orvis Sporting Lifestyle Community.

Business First study ranks SLCS, Westport in top three; Lake Placid, ELCS in top 10

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — Four local school were listed as the 10 best in Essex, Clinton and Franklin counties.

A study done by the Buffalo-based Business First newspaper of Upstate New York public school districts listed the Saranac Lake Central School District as the second-best district in the three-county region (Chazy Central Rural School finished first), with Westport Central School ranked third, Lake Placid Central School fourth and Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School 10th.

The study started with a look at the 459 school districts in the 48 counties that are defined as Upstate New York. However, 26 districts, including Keene Central School, were “eliminated” from the study because their enrollment was under 260 students, dropping them below a average class size of 20 students (Hamilton County did not have a single school district that was eligible). Two dis-

tricts were also eliminated because they did not have a high school.

According to the study, “the rankings reflect the collective performance of each district's public schools from kindergarten through 12th grade,” using indicators such as graduates who earned Regents diplomas, Regents exam scores in 13 different courses of study, along with eight different elementary and middle school tests. The study used a four-year sample from 2007 to 2010, with the most emphasis placed on the most recent scores.

“A total of 172 statistical indicators were analyzed for each district — two results per test, 21 tests per year, for four years, plus the four years of Regents diploma rates,” the study states.

Along with being the top school in the Plattsburgh region, Saranac Lake cracked the list of top 100 in Upstate New York with a ranking of 90th (CCRS ranked 44th overall). Westport and Lake Placid were in the top 120, ranking 110 and 113, respectively.

This year-round project of Samaritan’s Purse is coming to its peak, as local businesses, churches and schools prepare to collect gift-filled shoe boxes during National Collection Week, Nov. 14-21.

Volunteers can drop off their shoe box gifts at a bustling location in the area to help

The following is a list of the top schools in the Plattsburgh area, according to the Buffalo-based Business First newspaper (www.bizjournals.com).

Keene Valley Occupied at part of ‘We Are The 99%’ movement “Democracy in Action”

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com

38580

KEENE VALLEY — Route 73 was occupied by the 99 percent on Nov. 20, advocating democracy to those who traveled by.

Over 20 people took part in the occupation by standing along the busy route.

Participants included children as young as 5-year-olds to Vietnam veterans who stood together to deliver the message, “We are the 99 percent and something needs to change.”

The event was part of a national day of action called, “We Are the 99 percent.”

People gathered with the intent to call upon politicians in Washington to invest in job creation and make the millionaires on Wall Street contribute their “fair share” to help the economy.

Drivers passing along the route were greeted by signs reading, “Honk For Democracy,” smiles and some ideas to think about.

“It’s democracy in action and at the most basic level.

We have to reclaim our

democracy,” said Bob Andrews, one of the activists and organizers of the occupation. “It’s a general attack on government, which stands as our last defense against the abuses of the 1 percent.”

During the course of the day, Andrews spoke to the group and encouraged their efforts. Organizers congregated to brainstorm ideas for making the greatest impact by sharing ideas around national issues to help promote local actions that build sustainable job creation here in the North Country.

“We need to encourage local growth by buying locally, so we can create a wave that helps our economy,” Christal Boutte said.

Standing under a sign reading “Reform Welfare for the Wealthy,” Keene Valley resident Martha Lee said something needs to change in the welfare system. Lee said she feels the system is meant to help those in need but has long been serving the interest of those who are well off.

“Instead of people who really need it the system is being controlled and serving the interests of the wealthiest of our population,” Lee

Group members came out

in response to different areas they felt passionately about.

Andrews said the support of the community shows how

strongly the movement spread across the country can be centrally encouraged.

“After two months this

thing is now in cities all over the country,” Andrews said.

“My effort here was to say that here, in this little tiny town of Keene Valley, there is enough people to come out, care, and show support.

The occupation of Keene Valley, like many others across the country, was inspired by the efforts of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Members of Occupy Wall Street have recently been evicted from the streets of New York City.

Andrews said though the physical presence is no longer in New York City in the form of tents and encampment, the movement has inspired people across the country to start talking and has inspired communities to come together to form solutions.

“All you can do is keep talking about it and talking about it,” Andrews said.

“You need to pace yourself.

It may be people have to become more uncomfortable about it and suffer more before they pay attention. I say why wait?”

Back to the land A

s families gather together to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, the occasion provides a most appropriate opportunity to take stock of the past.

There is no doubt that Americans are adventurers, our ancestors, who ventured across the oceans to settle these, once wild lands, have imbibed us with this spirit.

It is difficult to imagine the extent of their journey, especially in this current ‘instant era,’ where needs can be satisfied or goods are available, “on credit, toll free, 24/7, with free shipping.”

Our current patterns of existence have become so comfortable and so convenient that it is impossible to imagine the difficulties our ancestors encountered, when they first disembarked in Plymouth, on a cold November morning in 1620.

The land was much rougher at the time, and the times were much tougher. Accordingly, the people were appropriately seasoned to such hardships, and they learned how to coexist with nature, and how to utilize the bounty it provides.

They couldn't receive weather updates over the television, or text a message home on some, miniature handheld contraption.

Instead, they understood natural patterns, and they learned how to live off the land. It was not an instant accomplishment, and the effort continues to be part of an ongoing process.

By comparison, modern day society has become soft, and relatively clueless to nature's signals. It is not surprising, for as much as we appreciate nature, we also strive for comfort. We may want to rough it, but we prefer to rough it easy.

Unfortunately, this comfort loving train of thought has been embraced by the younger generation, whose spirit of adventure is now largely satisfied by the click of a button on a search engine.

The trials and tribulations of travel have largely been removed, as modern day society has largely pasteurized our spirit of adventure, and homogenized the nature of our travels.

Although we may still be adventurers, at heart, our increasingly hectic lives no longer provides us with opportunities to truly enjoy the special places where we can find both recreation and soli-

tude.

It is also disturbing to discover how much further removed the next generation is from the land.

As USA Today reported, “The fundamental nature of childhood has changed in a single generation. The unstructured outdoor childhood has all but vanished. Today, childhood is spent mostly indoors.”

Despite the convenience of instant communications, today’s children are further removed from the land than all of the previous generations.

This detachment has been linked to a lack of regular exercise, increases in childhood obesity, myopia, and a host of other maladies.

Childhood obesity has doubled over the past 30 years for preschoolers and adolescents, and more than tripled for children aged 6-11.

Although the average American kid can recognize over 1,000 corporate logos by the age of 10, they can’t identify 10 animals, plants or trees in their own backyard.

In the 1970’s, over 70 percent of kids walked or biked to school, currently less than 20 percent of kids walk or bike to school today.

Children on average participate in just 30 minutes of unregulated time outdoors per week; however, their weekly electronic media exposure totals nearly 45 hours a week.

The spirit of discovery is instilled in every child, and if properly nourished, it will provide a lifelong sense of discovery and interest.

On a local level, schools and communities must do more to foster this innate sense of adventure and discovery, and parents can help this process by tapping into the region’s nearly limitless resources for natural recreational opportunity.

Across rural America, our children must be well versed in the opportunities for positive natural entertainment, for without such skills, the lure of a host of negative recreational opportunities will be difficult to ignore.

In the more urban, and suburban areas, there is often a wide range of recreational options available for children, ranging from ballparks to recreation centers, and from movie theatres to malls, to organized sports leagues. With a readily available host of options, there is usually something for a kid to do.

However, in rural settings, the list of “organized recreational options” is quite limited. Country kids must learn to make their own fun, and as a result, any kid that lacks the basic fundamentals for outdoor travel and recreation is severely disadvantaged.

Project Hope program set to begin in local counties PLATTSBURGH — Almost 30 counties in New York State received federal disaster declarations in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene. In response to the disaster, the New York State Office of Mental Health sought and received federal funding to initiate a time-limited crisis counseling program called Project Hope.

Clinton and Essex Counties were among 13 counties that chose to participate in Project Hope. This community-based outreach program is expected to run for about a year and is available free of charge to residents of Clinton and Essex Counties who were impacted by Tropical Storm Irene.

Project Hope recognizes the strengths, natural resilience, and diversity of people affected by the storm. Its mission is to assist storm-survivors to identify and access per-

sonal and community resources that will aid in their recovery process.

Crisis Counselors can help strengthen coping strategies, assess individual needs, and assist in linking people with community resources. Crisis Counselors can provide emotional support and education about disaster reactions; they are also able to screen and assess for severe reactions that might occur following the disaster.

Anyone taking advantage of these services remains anonymous; crisis counselors do not classify, label or diagnose people and no records or case files are kept.

Project Hope Crisis Counselors will be conducting door-to-door outreach to checkin with residents in areas hardest hit by the storm; please look for their Project Hope identification. Counselors may conduct

public forums, facilitate groups, attend community events and extend support to groups, organizations, and businesses impacted by Tropical Storm Irene. Project Hope invites calls from individuals, organizations, and businesses that might benefit from support services or that would like to be a referral resource.

Project Hope in Clinton and Essex Counties is provided through the Mental Health Association in Essex County, Inc. and is facilitated by the New York State Office of Mental Health. The program is funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in partnership with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. For additional information, please contact Program Coordinator, Gretch Sando, at 518-5249616.
