A total of 24 people spoke at the 2012 county budget hearing Monday, Dec. 5, with most asking for the Essex County Board of Supervisors to reinstate funding for a number of programs, including the Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Adirondack Harvest and the Adirondack Regional Airport.

A number of programs were either partially or completely cut in the proposed budget brought to the board by the county budget com-

W ANTED! A HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

Lake Placid chef Dave Hunt talks to the Essex County Board of Supervisors in support of the Adirondack Harvest program as board chairman Randall Douglas and County Manager Daniel Palmer look at a handout he provided.

Photo by Keith Lobdell but I am willing to sit down again. But I really want you to look at this budget if you are going to start to take jobs away.”

McGinn said that he felt county cars for employees could be done away with and that the county should override the 2 percent tax cap if it meant jobs would be saved.

County Chairman Randall “Randy” Douglas responded to McGinn’s remarks with an invitation.

“The last time that we heard from the union, it was a letter that read that you were not authorized to reopen the contract negotiation,” Douglas said. “I’m willing to meet with you, Mike, and talk about the employee contract and negotiate. I will be in my office tomorrow morning and I hope that you will attend.”

“I plan to be there and take that challenge,” McGinn said. “I will be open to hear what they have to say.”

Other supervisors also chimed in on the union contract, which they have asked be reopened to look at the possibility of a pay freeze.

“I am hopeful that the union will take (Douglas) up on the offer,” Moriah Supervisor Thomas “Tom” Scozzafava said. “I believe that this county has been more than fair to the union and I do not think that it is unfair to ask the union to take a pay freeze for a year in order to save these 30 jobs.”

“I have to say that I believe the union is being selfish,” Keene Supervisor William “Bill” Ferebee said.

“They need to come back to the table and take into consideration all of the employees that they are represent-

ing.”

Douglas also said that he felt that while he feels Gov. Andrew Cuomo is doing good things for the economy, he feels there is one area that needs to be addressed.

“We would not be having any of these conversations if the state took over Medicaid,” Douglas said. “There are only two states in the country that let Medicaid trickle down to the counties, here and California. We spend $7 million on Medicaid in this county, and if we had that $7 million to spend elsewhere, we would not be having any of these conversations.”

However, several supervisors said that the reality of the situation presented tough choices.

“This whole process has been very challenging,” Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery-Corey said. “I hate the fact that we are looking at layoffs. The decisions that we are being asked to make are downright heartbreaking.”

Following the public hearing, the board decided to meet again Monday, Dec. 12, at 11:30 a.m. to further look at the budget. The county budget has to be approved by the board on or before Dec. 20.

mittee, which also included the use of $4 million in fund balance and the elimination of 30 county positions.

“We need to support you when it comes to the tough decisions to raise taxes in order to provide those services,” Gordon Davis of Westport said. “These are difficult times that we are living through, and you are struggling with these difficult decisions. I admire you for the way that you are tackling this. The truth is government services cost money.”

Each speaker received a round of applause from those who packed into the courthouse as they spoke about contract agencies and county employees who could be facing layoffs.

“I’m all right with seeing my taxes raised $90 and leave it the way that it is,” Jim Hotaling, a county employee from Willsboro, said about the proposal to cut 30 jobs from the budget as recommended by the county budget committee. “In my department, the cuts would get rid of two positions, cutting us from seven people to five.”

Essex County CSEA President Michael McGinn also spoke, asking the board to take a closer look at the budget in order to avoid layoffs. McGinn added that he felt the union had attempted to bargain in good faith.

“We did meet with the county in November and talks did break down,” McGinn said. “The county walked away from the table,

Essex County votes in favor of tax cap override

By Keith Lobdell

we need the state to take over the local share of Medicaid,” Douglas said.

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Supervisors voted to override the New York state-imposed 2 percent tax cap after a public hearing on the topic Dec. 5.

The hearing preceded the much anticipated hearing on the tentative 2012 county budget, where people overwhelmingly asked supervisors to add funding for several agencies and services back into the budget.

The override passed by a 60 percent majority in the regular meeting of the board that followed the two public hearings. Only Jay Supervisor and board Chairman Randall “Randy” Douglas and Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston voted against the override.

“I think that there are still things that we can look at,” Douglas said. “I have seen what other counties have done and I want to see what we can do to get this down to 2 percent. If we do that, my hope is that next year the state will come back with some significant mandate relief.”

“People asked the state for property tax relief and the state gave it to them,” Preston said. “We should have done everything in our power to

abide by it.”

Only one member of the audience spoke at the public hearing asking the board to consider overriding the cap.

Supervisors then took up the discussion.

“I feel that we have no choice,” St. Armand Supervisor and budget committee chairwoman Joyce Morency said. “The revenue loss from the state is serious, and we are doing this because we really have no choice.”

“This gives us an option,” Westport Supervisor Dan Connell said. “Without it, we would be in a situation where we would have to cut things that we do not want to cut.”

“I do not think that we are going to have a choice,” Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said. “Look at all of the cuts that the budget committee has presented, and we are still not there.”

“I am a realist, and after working on this budget for

four months, it would be impossible to come in under the cap,” Moriah Supervisor and budget liaison Thomas “Tom” Scozzafava said. “In this budget right now, we don’t even have money to patch potholes.”

“The state decided that a property tax cap was appropriate,” County Manager Daniel Palmer said. “The problem is that they applied it across the board and you have to look at all of it, including tax rate and assessments. You can’t just look at one part.”

Along with the cap override, the board also unanimously seconded a resolution asking the state to pass a bill implementing a multi-year state takeover of the local share of Medicaid.

“If there is one way that everyone here can support us, it is to go to your state representatives and tell them that

o much for being proactive! I usually get the notice about the Keeseville Revitalization too late for it to be a notice for people to attend the meeting so I thought I would jump on it early, and yet I goofed the date. My sincere apologies to anyone who went Wednesday the seventh and found no meeting taking place. The meeting is actually on Wednesday, Dec. 14, at 5 p.m. at the Ausable Grange Hall across from TD Bank North. I guess if I’m going to make a mistake it’s better that I had an earlier date so people can still make the actual meeting. I promise to email Steven Engelhart at the Adirondack Architectural Heritage ahead of time to confirm the date for future meetings before running my column. Again sorry about that.

I want to remind everyone that the 46th Annual Christmas Concert for the Keeseville-Peru Ecumenical Choir will be Dec.

10, at 7:30 p.m. at St. John the Baptist Church in Keeseville and then the following night again at 7:30 p.m. at St. Augustine’s Church in Peru. Jeanette R. Woodruff is directing the Choir with the accompaniment by Carol Bachand. As always this is a free event.

The external entranceway and ramp have been refinished at St. John the Baptist Church and looks really nice and well done. And just in time for the concert.

I’ve been taking more walks lately, and it is wonderful to see so many decorations out in so many neighborhoods as well as so many nice people. I love the blue lights hung up on the top of the fence surrounding the basketball and tennis court by the village office. I also appreciate all the decorations that are up in the local businesses as well. Very festive and fun and always brings a smile to my face. Thank you for that.

Stay well and have a safe week.

've written several times about the Champlain Area Trails (CATS) organization, which has its headquarters here in Westport (most recently about the new trail CATS volunteers have made on Cheney Mountain just south of town). On Saturday, Dec. 10, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. CATS and the Northeast Wilderness Trust invite you to join "How Animals Prepare for Winter," a day-long hike in and around the wilderness lands of Essex.

The hike will be led by Dr. Alcott Smith, a veterinarian and outdoor educator who teaches a wide variety of ecology programs, including “Reading the Natural Landscape,” “Finding and Interpreting Signs of Wildlife,” “Understanding Bears and Bobcats,” and “The Ecology of Timber Rattlesnakes.” All that sounds pretty cool, especially for students. Space is limited, so sign up early.You can do so by emailing rose@newildernesstrust.org, calling 802-452-7880, or going to www.newildernesstrust.org.

You and your kids will need to bring a day pack with lunch and a flashlight for each person. (You never go out in the

woods without a flashlight, right? Especially at this time of year, right?) Wear layers (gore-tex and fleece are good— you never go out without extra warm clothing, right?), and good hiking boots, preferably waterproof. You'll be hiking off trail much of the time, so make sure your gear is sturdy enough for bushwhacking. Gaiters would be good. Be ready for cold and wet!

And beginning in January, the Northeast Wilderness Trust is also running a 6class course in spotting and interpreting wildlife signs this winter as part of its Keeping Track program. It will be taught by renowned tracker and wildlife expert Susan Morse, who has conducted a number of sold-out events in the area over the past few years. The first class is Jan. 7. To find out more, and to register for the course, email Elizabeth Lee at lakeside5047@gmail.com or go to www.newildernsstrust.org.

Finally, the Town of Westport is doing a dog census as of Jan. 1, 2012. All dogs six months of age or older must be licensed. Forms are available at the town web site or you can go visit our helpful town clerk, Sheila Borden.

lizabethtown Holiday events are keeping people busy baking, decorating and wrapping gifts.

The Garden Club’s Greens Tea & Luncheon was packed with shoppers including a few folks from Plattsburgh & Peru.

Joanne Baldwin made the delicious tomato-basil soup, and there were plenty of homemade cookies for dessert. Melba Wrisley & Bev Martel greeted guests and Gladys Nichols won the decorative door prize. The museum next door offered cookies and a chance to shop for gift books and locally made jewelry.

The Annual New Russia cookie exchange was held at Vivian Reiner ’s house. It always seems that neighbors go home with more cookies than they came with.

Holiday music will be offered at the United Church of Christ on Mondays, Dec. 5, Dec. 12, and Dec. 19, at 12:15 p.m.

The church is open to all, so come by and listen to the season’s music.

The First Annual tree lighting event on Town Hill was a big success. Over 40 people of all ages, and half dozen dogs crowded around the tree singing Christmas Carols. Santa Claus handed out candy canes. After the lights went on every-

one headed to the Social Center where they enjoyed homemade cookies and hot drinks. The kids who attended had a chance to make their own Christmas tree ornaments.

Remember the Social Center Christmas Craft Fair on Friday, Dec. 9, from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 10, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Marsha Wrght’s , Me & My Girls restaurant from Westport are catering a carry out lunch or dinner.

The Elizabethtown Fish & Game Club celebrated the end of deer hunting with a wild game potluck dinner at the Wallace’s garage. The dinner included a half dozen venison dishes along with assorted sides and desserts. Extra tables had to be set up to accommodate the 34 club members that showed up. Lew Egglefield took a 150-pound, seven point buck along the Boquet River just three hours before the meal began.

The snow last week had some New Russians ready for snowmobiling. Thursday afternoon instead of watching post Thanksgiving football, several of them fired up their snow machines and road on the 12-plus inches of white stuff. The snow didn’t last long, but the snowmobilers certainly had fun.

T

his week the NCSPCA would like to announce the ongoing event, “31 Cats of December.” During the month of December, 31 of our feline friends will be available for adoption at no cost. The available cats are purr-fectly adoptable and eager to find their forever homes for the holidays. If you've been wanting to add a lapcat or window kitty to your home but haven't been able to afford the adoption fee, there is no better time to stop by the NCSPCA and meet your new best friend!

Our featured pet today is Zena, a German Shephherd-mix who was found by shelter staff, abandoned in one of our outside kennels. We came in that morning and found this beautiful young lady confused, frightened, and wondering what she had done wrong to be left all alone. Zena is shy and demure when you first meet her; with some attention and reassurance, her sweet, gentle, and affectionate nature is revealed.

She is hoping to find a family where she will always know she is wanted and loved.

Zena has exquisite markings and ta thick, luxurious coat. This pretty lady would make an excellent addition to most any home.

he Holiday Rush was surly on here in Willsboro/Essex area this past weekend. The weather was great and many people came out to enjoy the festivities. We are hopeful that many did purchase locally and assist the many craft people who made their wares available. There were a couple of tree lightings and a few special events; it was difficult for some of us to take them all in.

This weekend is no different as there are more celebrations and events to enjoy.

The Willsboro Congregational Church, the Healing Garden Committee, and the members of the Compassionate Friends invite you to a night of recollection and reflection on Dec. 11. The evening will begin with soup and salad supper at 6 p.m. To be followed wil a service of remembrance of lost loved ones. Those attending are invited to bring along a picture of your loved one, weather permitting the group might take a trip to the Healing Garden.The group would appreciate you making a reservation by calling Jan at 963 4048 even at the last minute so they can plan on numbers attending.

The community is looking more festive every day as we notice that people are putting up their out door decorations.

The Beautification committee is holding their decoration contest again this season. The rules are a little different this year as people wishing to enter their decorations will need to call in to the Town Hall to register, the judges will only visit the ones that register. Registration must be called in prior to Dec. 18, as that is the day of the judges making their rounds, call 963-8933. Thanks to the Town workers our downtown street decorations look very festive. Thanks to the Willsboro School music department they have reached out on yet another occasion to involve the children in community events, such as the Sunday afternoon concert at the Essex Church this past Sunday.

Happy Birthday to Jack Wintermute Dec. 17, Wendy Ball Dec. 21, Lucas Strong Dec. 22, Alice Wand Dec. 22, Rhonda Belzile Dec. 24, James Russell Dec. 24, Alberta Curran Dec. 25.

aturday, Dec. 10, is a busy day.

There’s going to be a guided hike with an expert field naturalist sponsored by the trail society (CATS) and the Northeast Wilderness Trust. It’s an all day event on Essex’s Split Rock Mountain with the aim of studying how wildlife prepare for winter. This is limited to 15 participants and a donation is requested. To sign up, call Rose at 802453-7880 and don’t forget to bring your lunch.

Also on Dec. 10, the film society is presenting Werner Herzog’s “Cave of Forgotten Dreams,” at 8 p.m. at the Willsboro school. Herzog has a long list of excellent films to his credit, and this one, which is about 30,000 year old cave paintings in France, has gotten superb reviews. Afterwards, there will be an expert on Paleolithic art and the dating of such works on hand to take questions.

I seldom write a column without mentioning the Grange and their fine cornucopia of activities, and this is no exception. There will be a Christmas party

there Dec. 10, featuring music, singing, food, drink and pink flamingos. Flamingos are a holiday tradition in Whallonsburg, often observed in local manger scenes along with the more common cattle and sheep. On stage will be local favorites Joan Crane and Friends, the harmonizing Wannabes, and a group called Plowman’s Lunch. It all starts at 7:30 p.m. and for a very modest charge of $6.

By the way, plowman’s lunch is also a British pub offering featuring a big chunk of cheese and a pint of ale, created in the 1960’s to sell more cheese.

The Essex Planning Board has a vacancy, and if you’re interested in serving, write a short note to our town clerk, Audrey Hoskins at P.O. Box 355.

For those of you who need a feline in your life and can offer it a good home, the local animal shelter has cats for adoption at no charge. Call Pam Rock at 962-8604. Ginny herself came from a shelter, and although she barely tolerates cats, she would recommend you give this offer some thought.

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The community of Elizabethtown is trying to get a care package to one of its own.

The Elizabethtown Social Center has been hard at work with the “Cards For Connor,” campaign, which was launched as a way to send a care package to ELCS student Connor Marvin, who is currently at Boston Children’s Hospital, awaiting a heart transplant.

According to the social center, the goal is to send Marvin a Christmas care package, including loads of cards made by his classmates and signed by community members, along with some treats and gifts.

“Wouldn’t it be great to send a massive box from all of Elizabethtown,” Arin Burdo of the Social Center said.

“Anybody can help, and Honor Society members can earn volunteer credit. You can volunteer at a table, providing cards for people to fill out and collecting donations to cover postage and care package items.”

County to receive bridges from state for free

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County is getting a gift from the New York State Department of Transportation.

The Board of Supervisors voted to spend $40,000 for the transportation of seven sections of used Inverset pre-cast bridges from

Schuylerville to Essex County.

The bridge sections are 15 years old and were used in a section of highway around the Saratoga Springs area, according to county Department of Public Works Superintendent Anthony “Tony” LaVigne.

“They are widening the road where these bridge sections are now and currently pieces are not adequate for what the DOT needs,” LaVigne said. “They offered them up to the county and I said sure.”

The “gift” will save the county around $900,000 and give them pre-cast bridges that can be used to help rebuild county roads in need of repair.

Funding for the bridge sections will come from a flood account and was deemed as an emergency expense.

The board also passed resolutions to increase the private pay rate for the Horace Nye Nursing Home for nursing home care from $285 per day to $290 per day effective at the start of 2012.

The board adopted a resolution for Emergency Services to apply for and accept a three-year grant from the state division of Homeland Security on behalf of FEMA for $151,000, with $51,038 going to the Essex County Sheriff ’s Department.

A resolution was also passed that will show taxpayers how much of their tax bill is going toward county services and how much is going into state-mandated programs, including Medicaid, as separate lines on their tax bills.

Does a flawless candidate really exist?

Marine Academy a boost O to students, economy

T

he new Marine Academy scheduled to open at Ticonderoga High School next fall will be a welcome addition to the region’s education system and economy.

Operated by Champlain Valley Educational Services and available to students from Glens Halls to Plattsburgh, the two-year program will prepare students for careers in the marine industry — a business that remains strong locally despite the national recession.

The new venture has the backing of the Eastern New York Marine Trades Association, a group of marine professionals desperate for trained help.

“There just aren’t enough marine technicians to fill all the jobs we have available,” explained Roger Phinney, executive director of the Eastern New York Marine Trades Association. “We have jobs. We want to hire people. We just can’t find them.”

Marina owners and managers from Lake George, Bolton, Whitehall, Loon Lake, Diamond Point, Brant Lake, Schroon Lake, Hague and Ticonderoga attended an open house at the Marine Academy recently. They came away impressed.

Rich Stolen, owner of Schroon Lake Marina and Loon Lake Marina, said every graduate of the Marine Academy will find a job immediately out of high school. “We’ll be fighting for them,” he said.

Bob Palandrani, owner of Snug Harbor Marina in Ticonderoga and a member of the Ti school board, has been instrumental in the development of the Marine Academy. He stressed the program is about much more than mechanics. He said students will learn about every facet of the busi-

ness — fiber glass, painting, welding, woodworking, computers, sales and marketing.

Many of those jobs, he pointed out, are year-round, full-time opportunities.

That’s more than can be said for job prospects of many college graduates these days.

The Marine Academy will also be a partnership between education and business, providing students with practical experience while giving marinas and others a trained workforce.

Scott Andersen, manager of FR Smith and Sons Marina in Bolton, said he has been in contact with major marine manufacturers such as Mercury, Yamaha, Evinrude and Volvo. He believes those companies will support the the Ticonderoga Marine Academy by providing specialized tools, training materials and computer access. He believes academy graduates will be able to leave school with manufacturers’ certification — a huge asset in the marina industry.

Andersen also believes the Marine Academy can also expand in the future to train adult technicians. The nearest Mercury training center is in New Hampshire, he noted, and the nearest Yamaha training center is in Georgia.

The Marine Academy in Ticonderoga looks like a win-win situation for students and an important regional industry.

Exception to editorial

Take a freeze

To the Valley News: As a Tupper Lake resident and businesswoman I take great exception to your recent editorial, “Help a community under siege.”

Not one of those listed as authors, on that opinion piece, live in Tupper Lake so what in the world do they know? Talk about outsiders trying to influence Tupper Lake’s future.

I and many other Tupper Lake residents are in agreement that although the railroad idea was a good one it has not done what it has promised it would do, and it has had over 10 years of trying. It is time to try something else. There are no new businesses or additional employment created in the last 10 years that are attributed to the train.

The DOT travel corridor is an asset that is totally underutilized and the communities along it should get together and capitalize on its use. I believe that by converting the rail bed into a trail we will get the most “Bang for the Buck” and we will be able to do it sooner than trying to build a trail all along the rail through wetlands, over streams and rivers, etc. I travel a great deal to other resort areas and I have seen, first hand, what a recreational trail can do to an area. We already know what Snowmobiling has done for Old Forge so let’s bring it here to Tupper Lake and make the season last longer. Bicycling is becoming the leading requested facility for vacationers. They are looking for dedicated paths away from traffic. Notice all the bikes attached to campers and cars going through our community in the summer.

Let’s give them a world class place to ride.

Before you jump on the train bandwagon you better ask yourself which you would rather do, take a train ride once or be able to ride you snowmobile or bicycle every weekend? A recreational trail through the Park would bring thousands of people to these communities.

Don’t use false accusations about our motives or disparage our efforts to do something great for my community of Tupper Lake. I live here. I raised a family here. I have several successful businesses here.

Don’t tell me I’m doing this to support Lake Placid. How would you know? You

To the Valley News: Everyone is frustrated with rising taxes to finance public employee pay increases without recognizing the hardship paying for it imposes on the larger community, likely already burdened by the rising costs of living.

This scenareo is playing out across the country, and it is especially poignent when the private sector is freezing pay increases, cutting back hours, or just laying folks off because the well is running dry.

Currently, many Essex County employees face the possibility of pay cuts to finance pay increases for their unionized co-workers, or everyone will be confronted by lay-offs.

Union leadership shouldn't benefit its member-workers at the expense of the non-union co-workers. These co-workers are friends, neighbors, and members of the same larger community and cutting their pay to give out an increase seems unfair during these economic hardtimes.

I am a long-time union member retired from Essex County and a supporter of collective bargaining. I have also been laid off

by Essex County many years ago, so I attest it is not a vague threat, it can really happen.

Union leadership should negotiate, bargain, and open up the contract to a short-term pay freeze for its members in order to avoid pay cuts and layoffs for other co-workers. Spread the burden across many shoulders so it is not too heavy for any one brother or sister to bear, union or otherwise. I don't believe anyone is looking to have a fight about the role of public unions. This isn't about fighting, it's about the right thing to do for all parties and even more simply put, it's the reality of our times.

Muriel Cahill Willsboro

never asked me. No, you are only listening to one side of the story and only to a few voices. I, on the other hand, have received many positive comments from my fellow Tupper Lake residents in support of my efforts and so I plan on continuing my efforts to educate the community about this trail.

This Rail Trail effort has nothing to do with the ACR project. All it can do is be of a benefit to them. Because of my businesses I am well aware of what owners and buyers of million dollar properties are interested in and it is not riding a train.

Extending the train service is like the old definition of crazy: doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.

Extend IRA rollover

To the Valley News: With the approach of the holiday season, many think of giving to those most in need.

Since it was passed in 2006, the Pension Protection Act has been a popular way for people to support charities by transferring money out of their IRA funds without paying taxes. This makes it possible for donors to improve local schools, libraries, food banks, nursing homes, arts centers, and health care services However, the current version of the act is set to expire at the end of this year. Congress should act now to preserve this valuable means for giving back to our community.

Extending the IRA charitable rollover will substantially benefit local philanthropy at a time when demand for its services has never been greater.

Depot’s Chris Casquilho moving on

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT — The managing director of the Depot Theatre in Westport has accepted a job at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah.

Chris Casquilho, who has been the m a n a g i n g d i re c t o r a t t h e D e p o t s i n c e 2007, will be leaving at the end of the year to take a job as the Administrative Director of the Val A. Browning Center for the Performing Arts at Weber State Universit y, l o c a t e d a b o u t a n h o u r n o r t h o f S a l t Lake City in the city of Ogden.

“This has been a fantastic community to be in,” Casquilho said. “There are so many caring and connected people. One of the things that we have loved is that t h e l o c a l f o o d h e re i s a t t h e h e a r t o f a movement and that is something that we have been proud to be a part of.”

The move puts Casquilho over the administrative duties at the college performance arts center, which is home to t h re e s t a g e s , t h e l a rg e s t h o l d i n g 1 , 7 0 0 seats.

“For me, it’s definitely an upward career move,” he said. “It is a larger apparatus and this will be a more executive, more visionary position with less hands on in terms of the day-to-day operations as I had here.”

Casquilho said that he will work alongside the university’s theater department and courses that call the center home, and

will be working on the development office at the school to help raise funds for the site. He added that his work at the Depot Theatre was something that helped him land the position.

“One of the things that appealed to them was that there are so many people who are involved in the Depot from the town to the railroad companies, and there are all these different parties that have to w o r k t o g e t h e r, ” C a s q u i l h o s a i d . “ T h e y saw that I had that experience working with different groups to accomplish the goals and I think that was something they were looking for in a candidate.”

One goal that Casquilho has before he journeys west is to finalize the placing of the theater on the National Register of Historic Places.

“We are right on the edge of it,” he said.

“I am hoping to wrap that up before I go.”

Casquilho said he was also pleased with the ability of he and the theater board to manage finances during a tough economic period.

“We wanted to sustain the size for this type of company and make that dynamic,” he said. “I think that we have done some of the best work so far on making that happen.”

D e p o t A r t i s t i c D i re c t o r S h a m i M c Cormick said that the board was meeting to start the process of finding Casquilho’s replacement.

“It is something that we certainly hope to fill soon,” she said.

Jay Continued from page 1 gency personnel began searching for the Caitos around 9:30 a.m., after Henry was reported missing from his first-grade class at the Au Sable Forks Elementary School.

Members of the Fire Department and Highway Department entered the water and attached a cable to the vehicle so it could be raised out of the water enough to free the occupants.

Theresa and Henry were both unconscious when rescuers reached the vehicle.

Firefighters and town highways crews jumped into the waist-high water to get the two victims out of the car. Life-saving measures performed on the scene weren’t enough to save them.

Henry Caito was transported to AMC in Lake Placid and was pronounced deceased

by P.A. Howard Glass. Theresa Caito was transported to CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh, where she was pronounced deceased by Dr. Louis Rivera.

According to state police, an autopsy per-

formed Nov. 30 at AMC confirmed Henry had died as a result of drowning. Similarly, an autopsy performed on his grandmother at CVPH Medical Center determined she, too had drowned with a contributing factor being internal intestinal bleeding.

The manner of death is pending a ruling

by Clinton County Coroner David Donah.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Lt. Brent Davison of the New York State Police said the accident reconstruction can take weeks to determine the cause.

Henry was born on May 28, 2004 at CVPH in Plattsburgh, he is survived by his parents Gregory and Lisa (Ransom) Caito of Jay. Theresa was born on July 3, 1956 in East Rochester. She was the daughter of Vespesiano and Edith (Ferraraccio) Marcoccia.

Henry and Theresa were memorialized in a joint service on Sunday, Dec. 4 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Zaumezter-Sprague Funeral Home, 3 College St, in Au Sable Forks.

A Christian Burial service took place on Monday, Dec. 5 at the Holy Name Cemetery, off of Silver Lake Road, at 11 a.m.

Douglas tries to help family cope with memories of tragic past

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com JAY — For Jay Town Supervisor Randall “Randy” Douglas, a tragedy that struck his community last week was something that he knew all too well because he lived through it once before.

When an accident claimed the lives of Theresa Caito, 75, and her grandson, 7-yearold Henry D. Caito, of Jay, on Nov. 30, Douglas said that he immediately felt for the family.

Douglas experienced a similar situation when he lost his brother and cousin in a 1970 drowning incident at Twin Ponds Campsite in Peru, and Douglas said that he knew all too well the questions and fingers that may be pointed after the fact.

“The day after when the stories started to appear in the papers, there was one comment that said, ‘rest in peace, there should have been guardrails there,’” Douglas said.

“I saw the same things when my family had to deal with a tragedy like this.”

The grandmother and grandson were reportedly on their way to Au Sable Forks Elementary School when the vehicle they were riding in ended up submerged in a brook on Carey Road, a section of road that has two slabs of cut stone alongside the roadway blocking part of the waterway, but does not have guiderails.

In 1970, the Jay supervisor said that his family was asked about different questions surrounding the drowing deaths of his two family members, but they had focused on what was done to try and save the lives.

“We were asked about if there was a lifeguard, if there was this or that,” Douglas

said about the time following his family’s tragedy. “What we focused on was the fact that there was a State Police officer who was there and did all that he could to save them.”

Similarly, Douglas said that he had talked with the Caito family, who thanked the town DPW for the aid they provided on the scene of the car accident.

“They were in the water doing everything that they could to get those people out, and the family was very appreciative of that when we talked,” Douglas said. “They went way above and beyond the call to do whatever they could to get to those people.”

Douglas said that there was work done on that portion of the Carey Road culvert after Tropical Storm Irene devastated the area in August.

“We had done some work at that site after the storm, as we have done with many areas,” Douglas said, adding that he does not remember if guiderails were ever used on that section of road.

The supervisor added that guiderails are something that the town and highway department is constantly looking at.

“We are always looking at areas in the town that could use them,” Douglas said. “I got an email at 8:30 a.m. that morning about work in another section of town.”

The accident was the first of two over the past week, with Nadine A. Kilcullen, 49, of Horicon, killed when the car she was driving in was found upside down on Schroon River Road in Chester in the early morning hours of Dec. 5. According to reports, the car went off the road on a sharp right curve where there is no guiderail along the river.

It landed several feet out into the river, upside down in about three feet of water.

Forest Ranger Lt. Brian Dubay and State Police Lt. Scott Heggelke speak to the media in Lake Placid during the search for Russ Beede.

thorities believed he had set out for a hunting trip.

Essex County Coroner Robert Huestis was on-scene and authorized the removal of the body from the forest, which was then taken to Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake.

Beede’s daughter, Amanda, said during a Nov. 30 press conference that her father’s leaving for an extended hunting period without a partner or hunting party was unusual for the avid woodsman.

“This is not like him,” Amanda Beede said.

“He would never go out hunting without someone else for an extended time. It’s not normal for him to do this.”

DEC spokesman David Winchell said that the discovery of Beede was made on their first sweep of the lower slopes of Mount Jo where he was found.

The search for Beede started on Monday, Nov. 28, with involvement from the State Police, Department of Environmental Conservation forest rangers and trained search volunteers, along with assistance from the Lake Placid Volunteer Fire Department and the Adirondack Mountain Club.

DEC Lt. Brian Dubay oversaw the search for the forest rangers and said they conducted a Level 3 search of the region around the Adirondak Loj and South Meadows.

“We are going slow, and we are being efficient,” he said, adding that Beede was possibly wearing clothes that could have hampered the search.

“We also believe that he was wearing hunter ’s camouflage,” Dubay said. “If you have seen some of the camouflage that hunters now have, it is some pretty impressive stuff.”

At the time of the discovery, Dubay said that there were about 30 to 35 trained volunteers along with 15 rangers and seven members of the NYSP Special Operations Response Team.

A helicopter had also been involved in the search Nov. 30 but was grounded due to poor weather conditions in the afternoon.

DEC forest rangers and State Police held a

joint press conference about the search at 1 p.m. Nov. 30, and at 4:20 p.m. DEC spokesman David Winchell announced that Beede had been found around 2:30 p.m.

At the press conference, Russ Beede’s daughter, Amanda, spoke with reporters, telling them that she was hoping for the best but had thought about the fact that her father may not return home alive.

“I want my dad,” Amanda Beede said. “I’m not ready for him to go yet. I hope that they find him upright.

“If they don’t find him alive, then he’s where he wanted to be and where he wanted to go, in the woods, hopefully peacefully,” she added.

Amanda said that her father was “no stranger to the woods” and that he favored hunting in South Meadows area.

Amanda and her mother, Linda, who works as a dispatcher at the New York State Police Troop B headquarters in Ray Brook, were involved in the search.

“We are making sure that the family members are teamed with a trained search volunteer,” Dubay said.

Beede was last seen on Saturday morning, Nov. 26. It was believed that he was preparing to go hunting on state land off the Adirondack Loj Road.

Beede’s vehicle was located near the gate into the Adirondack Mountain Club’s Adirondak Loj property at the southern end of the road.

DEC forest rangers oversaw the ground search of the area since Monday. They were joined by NYS SORT team members, volunteers from Search and Rescue of the Northern Adirondacks (SARNAK), Central Adirondacks Search and Rescue (CASAR), Lower Adirondacks Search and Rescue (LASAR), Team 5-1 Search and Rescue, the Lake Placid Volunteer Fire Department, and the Wilmington Volunteer Fire Department.

K9 Units from the DEC Environmental Conservation Police and State Police, and search dogs from Champlain Valley Search and Rescue, were also part of the search effort, along with a helicopter from the State Police Aviation Unit.

Colby, who played midfield for the Patriots in 2011, has been playing soccer even before she could walk, according to the nomination letter written by Waterbury.

At age 2, Colby was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide), according to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

“I was very surprised,” Colby said about the nomination. “I was pretty excited about it. There are a lot of people pulling for me and helping me.”

Colby said that her nomination was the idea of Waterbury and her Patriot teammate, Amanda Hamilton.

Brock Marvin

Marvin, who played goalie for the Lions in 2011 and helped lead them to the Section VII/Class D semifinals, made his first start on the field since his eighth grade season, when a degenerative heart problem took him off the pitch and in search of a heart transplant.

Marvin received that transplant a year ago on Dec. 11, 2010, and started the road to recovery with one goal in mind — to make it back to the pitch with his teammates at ElizabethtownLewis Central School.

Marvin did just that, playing his first game against the boys soccer team at AuSable Valley, posting a shutout victory.

Marvin received media attention and accolades concerning his return to the realm of high school athletics, and is currently in the process of figuring out where to continue his education and soccer career in college.

Marvin’s nomination story was posted by his brother, Connor, who is currently at the Boston Children’s Hospital awaiting a heart transplant of his own.

For more information on both candidates and to view the nomination stories and other posts about the two, visit the Inspireum website, www.inspireumsoccerawards.com, and click on the semifinalists link. The nominees are listed alphabetically.

ELIZABETHTOWN — To have one person from the North Country make it to a national stage is a grand accomplishment.

In the world of high school soccer, however, two standouts have been announced as semifinalists for a national soccer award, and both are looking for the communities help.

AuSable Valley senior midfielder Megan Colby and Elizabethtown-Lewis senior goalie Brock Marvin are both semifinalists for the Inspireum Soccer Awards, which are awarded annually to soccer players who, according to the Inspireum website, “inspire teammates, classmates, families and communities.”

Both players were nominated for the awards, with Colby being nominated by her Plattsburgh Football Club coach Karen Waterbury, who is also the head coach of the Plattsburgh State women’s soccer team. Marvin’s nomination letter was written by his brother, Connor.

“I can’t even explain how I feel about Megan,” Hamilton said. “She’s incredible.”

Colby has to take therapy for her condition every morning and evening, and takes medications and treatments throughout the day. She also makes trips to Burlington each month for what have become, for her, routine treatments.

“I’ve learned to adjust to it,” Colby said. “I just have more things that take up my time than the average teen, but I don’t mind it.”

Colby said that because she stays on top of her disease, she is able to stay on top of her game both on the fields and in the classroom.

“Having the treatments is what has really set me up to do my best,” Colby said. “I would not be where I am without them. I know what levels of intensity I need to push myself. I talk with my doctors, and they basically go off my word.”

Colby said that playing sports — indoor track in the winter and softball in the spring — help her to stay in shape and stay ahead of the disease.

“It all depends on how you take care of yourself,” Colby. “They really push being active as a way to battle C.F.” Colby stayed active on the soccer field in her senior season, helping to lead the Lady Patriots to the Section VII/Class B semifinals.

Colby said that she felt her story shows what people can do if they remain determined in the face of adversity.

“I hope that people get to know who

When looking for the perfect gift this holiday season, the best place to start is with your hometown, locally-owned businesses.

These businesses are an important part of the local economy, providing goods and services that are not only as good as those found in big-box retailers, but many times, also offered for the same prices or better. Forget the common misconception shopping at big discount stores is better for your wallet – it’s not always the case. And, just remember, every dollar you spend in your community benefits local shopkeepers, many of whom are your neighbors and friends.

Alexander from page 6 again? But do these unattainable standards rest with the public or is it the media that takes an issue and blows it up beyond proportion. Americans gravitate to perceived winners and we are quick to jump onto and then back off the bandwagons based on the attention given by the media outlets. Like a scab, that we just won’t let heal, we continue to pick at it until it become far worse than when it started out.

Our collective logic over the years has been if you can’t be trusted in your private life how can we trust you in the public arena. Yet President Clinton, despite his private flaws, proved he could compartmentalize the issues and served very effectively as the leader of the country. In the end we must decide what is the more important; a flawed candidate who can lead the country back to prosperity or selecting a candidate who appears near perfect and says the right things but is unable to address the wide array of issues affecting the nation. Is the election about the person, the job performance or the party? As is the case every four years, if nothing else, it’s always entertaining, but in 2012 we need to look beyond the feel good beauty contest and hire a leader who can solve the many issues affecting our country.

Clarke into final five on ‘Survivor’

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — Twelve episodes and counting.

The buzz continues to grow over the presence of Willsboro native Sophie Clarke on the CBS Television reality show, “Survivor.”

Through the 12-episode run, 11 of which had eliminations, the former Willsboro Central School academic and athletic standout has only received one vote for elimination — the very first one read by host Jeff Probst during the premiere episode.

Clarke continued that run on the Nov. 30 airing of the popular television show. Two weeks after having won a pair of immunity challenges that guaranteed her safety, Clarke finished third in the immunity challenge.

The combined tribe then eliminated the fi-

nal member of the former Savaii tribe in John Cochran, leaving only six remaining members of the Upolu tribe in former Survivor contestant Benjamin “Coach” Wade, Albert Destrade, Brandon Hantz, Edna Ma, Rick Nelson and Clarke. Another former contestant, Oscar “Ozzy” Lusth, is still alive on Redemption Island along with Cochran.

Clarke was the first name read in the first episode when her tribe had to send someone off the island, with the person who voted for her being the first to be voted out. Clarke raised an eyebrow when her name was mentioned, but has not heard it uttered in an elimination since.

Clarke also won immunity twice in a previous episode.

“Survivor” airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS affiliates.

Follow Sophie Clarke with weekly r eports at thevalleynews.org after each episode.

Russ E. ‘Sugar Bear’ Beede, 63

Continued from page 1

Dec. 17, 1947 - 2011 LAKE PLACID - Ruse E. "Sugar Bear" Beede, 63, died unexpectedly while hunting in the Adirondack Wilderness area in Lake Placid.

Russ was born in Keene Valley, Dec. 17, 1947. He was the son of Homer E. and Ida Mae (Blake) Beede.

He attended Lake Placid High School and at 17years-old he enlisted in the United States Navy. He was a Veteran of the Vietnam War and a long time member of the American Legion Post 326, Lake Placid and Marcy Post 1312, American Legion Keene Valley.

Russ was an avid outdoorsman, sportsman and shooting enthusiast. His shooting skills and knowledge of firearms were unmatched. He was an active member of the Lake Placid and Saranac Lake Fish and Game Club’s and participated in Cowboy Action Shooting and Turkey Shoot Competition with both traditional black powder and small caliber rifle.

He enjoyed riding his motorcycle and collecting, trading and repairing guns of all kind. Russ worked in Lake Placid for the Town of North Elba Highway Deptartment as truck driver and heavy equipment operator and at the North Elba Transfer Station as attendant and equipment operator. He had also worked for ORDA at the Olympic Bobrun, The County of Essex as tractor trailer driver and following his retirement, worked for the Village of Lake Placid driving trolley and as groundskeeper at the village parks.

Russ is survived by his wife Linda (Levitt) Beede of Lake Placid, and their two children, a son Aaron Beede and his wife Maryann of Lake Placid, and a daughter, Amanda Beede and her companion Richard Sullivan of Lake Placid. He is also survived by five grandchildren, Brandon, Shealynn, Cade, Dane and Holly.

Russ was predeceased by his parents and one brother, Foster Beede.

A celebration of the life of Russ Beede was held Dec. 4, 2011 at the M. B. Clark, Funeral Home in Lake Placid.

An American Legion Prayer Service was given by Lake Placid and the Marcy Post. Burial will be in North Elba Cemetery at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations in memory of Russ be made to the Lake Placid Vol. Fire Department.

“It’s the right time, it’s the right place,” Tucker said of his plan. “It’s just a matter of making it happen and I’m the guy for it.”

The key in Tucker ’s vision is “blue gold” — the 10 trillion gallons of fresh water that flows from the Adirondacks each year. Water is the key ingredient in beer, he noted, making this area a prime location for breweries.

Tucker lived 12 years in Oregon, where small breweries thrive. Craft brewing is responsible for $3 billion in revenue each year and 5,000 jobs in Oregon, he said. Tucker believes the industry can do the same thing in the Adirondack Park.

To make his project a reality, Tucker has applied to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service to create a “EB-5 regional center” in the Adirondacks. Those centers are eligible to accept foreign investment in exchange for immigration consideration.

The program allows foreign investors to get green cards if they meet an investment threshold.

“There’s a lot of money outside the U.S. looking for investment opportunities,” Tucker said. “Why not bring that money to

the Adirondacks?”

Tucker hopes to have approval of the “regional center” application in February.

The closest “regional center” to the area is Jay Peak, Vt., he said, where 400 foreign investors have pumped $200 million into the local ski industry.

Tucker is confident foreign investors will want to take advantage of the Adirondack water to operate nano-breweries, brewpubs, restaurant-breweries, micro-breweries and regional breweries.

Vermont has the largest number of breweries, per capita, in the United States, Tucker noted.

“The Adirondack Park is about the size of Vermont; we have about the same population,” he said. “Why can’t the Adirondacks of New York have the same footprint? Vermont exports a lot of beer and imports a lot of money. We can do that, too.”

While he awaits federal approval of the “regional center,” Tucker is contacting potential investors and investigating possible locations for breweries. To date he has identified six spots he feels are ideal for the project — in Crown Point, Keeseville, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid and Plattsburgh.

The Crown Point location is the former Porter ’s Mill store — the old Agway — on

Route 9N. “It sits right on Putts Creek with plenty of pure, clean water and has a wonderful view,” Tucker said of the Crown Point spot.

“I think it’s a great location.”

Bethany Kosmider, Crown Point supervisor, agrees.

“Ken Tucker met with me a few weeks ago and it is quite apparent there is an interested business, a micro-brewery,” said Kosmider, who is leaving office Dec. 31. “I’m sorry this didn’t happen while I was in office, but at least it’s gotten started.”

Once the breweries are up and running, Tucker hopes to create a distribution network through the Adirondack Brewers Coalition.

The project will impact the local economy in a number of ways, Tucker said. Historic buildings that now sit vacant will be renovated into breweries, pubs and restaurants.

Plants will hire workers. Local farmers will be able to grow hops, a necessary ingredient in beer making.

“You’ve got to see the big picture,” he said. “We’ll start with small breweries and grow from there. Soon Adirondack brews will have a cachet and value equal to ‘made in Vermont.’ We’re close and I couldn’t be more excited.”

Snow Dance returns to Big Tupper TUPPER LAKE — After the incredible success of last season's Snow Dance at Big Tupper, officials have scheduled it again for this Saturday, Dec. 10, at 10 a.m. at the Big Tupper ski lodge.

When the snow was running late last season, the folks at Big Tupper thought they would bring in people who would have influence on the weather through traditional, and less than traditional ways. As a result, the snow came and provided one of the best ski seasons on record. So much so, that many people wanted to bring the same people back to setup a great ski season for 2011-2012.

“This year we thought that we should start earlier,” ARISE Chairman Jim LaValley said.

“Now that the Snowball Gala is behind us, it's time to focus on skiing and getting the best conditions possible.”

The Mohawk Medicine Woman will be onhand to lead a ceremony to ask for snow. Santa Claus will be at the Lodge to visit with children and collect their Christmas wish lists. The Big Tupper Ski Patrol and Host Patrol will do a presentation for the public, and there will be other events announced at the mountain.

For more information please contact the Tupper Lake Chamber of Commerce at 3593328 or visit www.skibigtupper.org.
