Essex ferry may close for winter

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ESSEX — Many local residents are eagerly anticipating the beginning of ferry service at the site of the recently closed Champlain Bridge, but some fear a more northerly crossing may suffer as a result.

The Vermont Agency of Transportation is currently in negotiations with Lake Champlain Transportation (LCT), operators of year-round ferries on the lake, for ferry service between Crown Point and Chimney Point, This story was first posted Vt. online at 7 p.m., Dec. 8 LCT Operations Manager on www.Denpubs.com Heather Stewart said the company, owned by Ray Pecor, III, still has yet to decide how it will manage ferry service at the new docks, which are still under construction.

“We’re still formulating what we need to do,” said Stewart, noting the company is waiting to see the directives that are handed down from officials on both sides of the lake. “We don’t know what they will request for ferries.”

Stewart said the likely scenario would be to

send two of LCT’s five icebreaking ferries to serve the Crown Point crossing. The other three would remain in service at the Plattsburgh-Grand Isle crossing.

If that is done, LCT would likely put the fer-

ry boat Adirondack into service as the lone ferry at the Essex-Charlotte crossing, said Stewart, but the boat, which was built in 1913, has a riveted hull that is not suitable for operation

County Chair candidates get cross-party support

By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — It appears that politics do indeed make for strange bedfellows as a majority of Essex County Republican supervisors are backing a Democrat for the soon-to-be vacant board of supervisors chairmanship, while the Democrats have thrown their support behind a high-profile Republican.

The term of current board Chairwoman Cathy Moses expires Jan. 1, and the board will convene to elect a new leader at the annual organizational meeting on Jan. 4.

Competing for the seat, which comes with a hefty pay raise, are Democratic Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas and the oft-vocal Republican Moriah Supervisor, Tom Scozzafava.

“The party is definitely divided after the DA race,” Scozzafava said. “But we need to heal the party or die as individuals.”

Chair of the BOS finance committee, Scozzafava has publicly butted heads with county manager Dan Palmer.

He noted that according to his count, he has the support of eight or nine supervisors, many of whom are Democrats.

There are 18 towns in Essex

County and, if his count is accurate, a tie isn’t out of the question.

Scozzafava said he has been told by his Republican backers that if a tie were to occur, they would support Douglas.

“I knew that I would probably be a long shot when I decided to seek the seat,” Scozzafava said. “I am not good at biting my tongue, so it may be best if I wasn’t seated in that chair.”

Democratic Westport Supervisor Dan Connell is joining him in the bid as a candidate for vicechair, while Douglas has tapped North Elba Supervisor Robi Politi, creating an additional geographic dynamic, pitting supervisors from the county’s west against supervisors from the county’s east.

Politi has recently renewed his call for the sale of the countyowned Horace Nye Nursing Home – a $4 million annual expense.

Essex County passes 2010 budget Debate erupts over last-minute cuts

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Supervisors officially adopted its 2010 budget Dec. 7, but not without plenty of late discussion about ways to cut spending.

The board began with a proposed tentative budget that included $93.2 million in appropriations; a $2.9 million decrease compared to the 2009 budget.

Revenues for the county are estimated to decrease by $3.7 million, however. Unamended, the budget would have amounted to a 5 percent increase in the tax levy.

Supervisors held a budget workshop Nov. 25 to propose additional cuts. It resulted in a plan that would have increased the tax levy by 2.1 percent.

One of the proposals from the workshop was to save $159,200 by limiting management raises to 2 percent instead of the 4.25 percent raise originally slated.

But when supervisors met to amend and approve the budget, the trimmed raises for management-confidential employees were ultimately turned down.

Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava, who serves as the board’s budget liaison officer, explained that he had reached a compromise with county Manager Dan Palmer that would allow the 4.25 percent raises to remain in place so long as the county initiated a conservative three-to-five year raise schedule for management-confidential employees and took a critical look at their salaries.

“Although I am not in favor of the 4.25 in-

creases across the board, at least I am satisfied that we have reached a compromise to look at each salary individually,” Scozzafava said.

Still, not everyone on the board shared the same satisfaction. Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee moved to include the raise-reduction anyway.

“It’s very difficult to support the 4.25 for everyone,” said Ferebee. “I couldn’t support that in my own town, and I feel the 2 percent is satisfactory.”

Ferebee’s proposal ultimately failed, however, as it failed to garner enough support to even be allowed on the floor for discussion.

The board did, however, vote for several other cuts proposed from the Nov. 25 workshop. They included $204,300 for county Enhanced 911 software and three-dimensional aerial photography upgrades and diverting an additional $30,000 from the county’s STOP DWI fund to pay for a new car for the Sheriff ’s Department.

At the recommendation of Palmer, $100,000 was removed for a water meter and storage building at the public safety facility in Lewis.

Scozzafava urged the board to freeze supervisors’ salaries at their 2009 levels. The amendment passed, resulting in a savings of roughly $14,000.

The cuts brought appropriations down to $92.9 million, which will result in a 2.3 percent increase in the tax levy to $13.5 million.

Ferebee and Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston voted against the budget, which passed 15-2. Newcomb Supervisor George Canon was absent.

he Christmas season is coming with reductions in wreaths, ribbons and reduced lighting. It’s coming without holly and bows. Its coming without parades or visits by Santa because the ACLU found out yesterday that “Santa” is a pseudonym for St. Nichols.

They will want us to call Santa “Salesperson in Red.” It’s coming without kisses, full employments, and story telling. It’s coming without real trees and maybe snow.

Yes, folk you better watch out, you better not pout, the Grinch is an ACLU member coming to town. But remember, that Christmas is coming despite all that.

Two more local dignitaries have passed away this week. Gone is Ruth Anson Davis, the last female WWII veteran from Essex. You remember WWII. It’s the last time that “concerned Americans” didn’t move to Canada so that others might serve in their stead. Ruth lived her life with dignity and honesty. May Mather also died. To know May was to really understand what it meant to have character, lots of smiles, and friendliness to all she met. Go with

God, Ruth and May. Your lives made a difference!

Laura and Ed Smith tell me that Hospitality Homes is an organization in the Boston Area offering no-cost housing for important support people of Hospital patients that live beyond commuting areas.

Call 1-888-595-4678 (toll free) for more info.

Don’t forget to come to the Whallonsburg Grange Hall for the Dec. 11th reading of Dickens’ Christmas Carol at 7:30 p.m.

Unlike some North Country productions, this show will not drag on and on and on.

Much kudos to the Depot Theatre and Ted Cornell for organizing this classic!

Speaking of shows, Frank and MaryAnn Walls were talking about a Cuban musician named Mongo Santamaria. Well, I just now remembered where I heard his name.

In Mel Brooks’ movie “Blazing Saddles” a huge guy (played by footballer Alex Karras) called Mongo comes into town. Someone in the movie shouts “It’s Mongo, Santa Maria.”

s promised, this week we have more information on the Keene Central School holiday fundraiser. The school has purchased a beautiful tree that is currently on display in the school entryway. However, the tree is in need of some festive holiday decorations.

For a donation of any size, you can sponsor a small ornament to be placed on the tree.

A donation of $3 to $5 will allow you to choose a large ornament. For a donation of $6 or more, you can choose to have any name you would like written on the ornament.

Donors are welcome to come to the school to choose and write on their own ornament.

At the end of the fundraiser, you will be able to take your ornament home. All proceeds raised will be donated to the NCSPCA. Please call Megan Irish at the school, 576-4555, to find out the details of how to participate in the fundraiser.

Our featured pet this week is domestic shorthair/mix Lady Jane, a stunning peach, brown, and soft grey kitty with luxurious fur and intelligent green eyes. This little lady is sweet, polite, and very mellow. She enjoys the comfort of a warm lap and a gentle scratch under her chin. Lady Jane is so affectionate and loving that it is impossible to resist her.

At this time we have many cats who would love to warm your lap as the temperature drops outside and the weather turns chilly. In fact, we have over 50 cats in residence and several dogs - who hope to go home for the holidays. Maybe one of our furry friends is perfect for your family!

Lady Jane

Janice Allen • 963-8912 • allens@willex.com he communities of Willsboro & Essex helped us get into the mood of Christmas this past weekend. The Willsboro Congregational church has, now for several years, kicked off the season with the Green’s Tea & Lunch. They had a nice selection of gift items for sale and a nice assortment of baked goods; someone went to all the trouble of making a ginger bread house.

Then, as you traveled to Essex, there was much to take in, starting with the Holiday Sale and Lunch at the Methodist Community Church. Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus dropped in to wish everyone a merry Christmas. They made the trip over on the Ferry. There were a few shops open with a wide variety of possible gifts. The weather was great for moving around the area.

There was also a Holiday Sale and lunch at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall. It is always so much fun to greet and visit with friends that we do not see all the time.

The Canadian Pacific lighted train went through this past week and it was well litup, always a delight to see. Several children were disappointed as they were looking for Santa to be on the Caboose waving and wishing us all a holiday greeting but sadly he was not there, no caboose or Santa.

There are several Christmas musical concerts coming up in the next couple of weeks. Also, the reading of the Christmas Carol will take place at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall.

Along with the joy of the season, there was also some unhappy events, someone rammed an object through the bathroom

wall into the center area making a large hole at the Visitor ’s Center. This is such a welcome addition to our community it is hard to learn of such destruction for no reason. Then, on Saturday during the early morning hours, someone placed a Christmas tree in the parking lot between the Bowling alley & the Pharmacy and set it on fire. This had to call out our Fire Department and the Police, here again a needless act of vandalism.

Hats off to the Local Film Society; they showed their 100th film this past weekend with free admission for the loyal public that has been attending over these past couple of years. Many thanks to the faithful core of local citizens that have made this a reality and provide good movies twice a month at local sites.

Reminder the Willsboro Heritage Society 2010 calendars are available at the Pharmacy, Village Meat Market, & Sportsman’s Diner.

Sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Mae Mather of Essex, as her funeral was this past weekend. Even though we have had very mild weather, I have learned of six people who have taken falls in their homes; hopeful all are on the mend. The weather seems to change from mild to cold & windy conditions on a daily basis, so people tend not to dress to fit the conditions and thus many have colds, especially the children going off to school.

The teachers take the children out each day possible and many do not wear even a jacket to school.

Birthday Greetings: Mary Hislop 12/14, Jack Wintermute 12/17.

ne of the students' favorite events at WCS is the annual book fair, which will be held this week from Dec. 14-17. If they have enough volunteers to staff it, they'll be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. This is a great event that always brings a lot of smiles and excitement as young readers pore over the offerings and make their choices of reading material. There's also a fair amount of running around and giggling. The highlight is family night, which will be Wednesday, December 16, from 5 to 8.

But they need some volunteer help to make this happen. There are two shifts: 8 to 11:30 a.m., and 11:30 to closing at 3 p.m.

If you'd like to spend a little time putting books and children together, call Laura Sells-Doyle at 962-4049.

The Wednesdays in Wadhams lecture series continues on Dec. 16 with an illustrated talk, "The Power of Wilderness Experiences for Teens," by C.G. Stephens, at the Wadhams Free Library at 7:30 p.m. For three decades now, C.G. (who also happens to be one of my oldest friends) has been heading north to Lake Temagami each summer, to lead canoe trips into the wilds of northern Ontario with campers from Northwaters and Langskib Wilderness Programs.

C.G. started as a camper, but for some years now he's run the outfit, which is

dedicated to providing not just adventure and fun but also transformational wilderness experiences. He'll share memories, photos, and insights into how such experiences forge character and community, and shape young leaders. The evening is free, and your questions will be welcome, though it's probably best if you don't ask about the leopard-skin bikini briefs.

Last week I mentioned that pianist Rose Chancler will offer an evening of holiday carols at the Westport Library on Thursday, Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. There are also some exciting holiday events coming up at the Westport Federated Church, starting Sunday afternoon, Dec. 20 at 3 p.m., with the Christmas Program and Party. Christmas Eve Worship will take place on Dec. 24 at 7 p.m., and on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 27, at 3 p.m., musician and author Jessica Roemischer will give a piano concert and presentation on music’s contribution to soul health and community.

Next week I'll have a report on the public meeting on Dec. 10 over the proposed outdoor generator at the school, which I've mentioned a couple of times recently. As we all know, this is a heated issue, if you'll forgive the pun, and passions are running high. I'm sure we can all be civil to our neighbors, though, whatever side we come down on. Again, fair warning.

From page 1 For his part, Douglas was recently appointed to the executive committee of the New York State Association of Counties. He is chair of the county transportation sub-committee and was highly involved in the rerouting of the county public transportation system following the closure of the Champlain Bridge.

According to Republican St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency, the vast majority of GOP support is behind Douglas.

“I think it somewhat boils down to the recent election and Tom’s support of Garcia,” Morency said.

As of Jan. 1, Republicans will hold a 10 to five edge over Democrats on the 18-member board.

In 2002, Scozzafava unsuccessfully challenged Teresa Sayward for the 113th District state Assembly seat, but did however manage to pull the support of several prominent county Republicans.

Douglas could not be reached for comment.

In the meantime, Stewart said, LCT is already making plans to expand the Essex-Charlotte crossing to 24-hour service, effective Dec. 28, in order to serve commuters who work late shifts. Currently, the latest ferry leaves Essex at 9:30 p.m.

“We’ve hired a lot of new deckhands and dock masters, and we’re trying to get them trained to keep those hours open,” said Stewart. “That’s been our focus right now.”

Some people in and around Essex are concerned, however, that the Essex-Charlotte crossing may have to close if there are no icebreaker ferries left there to operate.

Willsboro resident Rebecca Palmer said she contacted Stewart earlier this month after hearing about the possibility of the ferry closing. She has since been passing out flyers to ferry commuters urging them to contact their local and state officials.

“I applaud Lake Champlain Transportation for really stepping up to the plate when the bridge closed,” said Palmer. “What I don’t feel Lake Champlain Transportation has done well is being a good steward of communication.

They could have done a better job of communicating with residents about what is happening.”

LCT has traditionally limited its service to one ferry at the Essex-Charlotte crossing from late December through early April, but without an icebreaker ferry there, the crossing would likely have to close during much of that time.

“Basically, what happens is that Essex is going to be a prisoner of Mother Nature,” said Palmer, noting that some people may have to travel an extra 90 miles or more on wintery roads as a detour for their daily commute or regular medical appointments.

Stewart said the Crown Point crossing is anticipated to handle roughly 3,500 cars per day. The Essex-Charlotte ferry carries only 100 cars per day during the winter months.

However, she said, ridership on the ferry has more than doubled since the bridge’s closing.

New York Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward said LCT has been communicating with her office, VTrans, and the state Department of Transportation to find a solution.

“I have visited Vermont officials and expressed my interest in keeping the Essex crossing open as well as providing coverage at Crown Point,” said Sayward, “and everyone is trying to work toward that end.”

One of the major issues is weather, said Sayward, noting that LCT has much more flexibility if a contract is approved before the lake ices over. Also, any new boats brought in for use as ferries have to be a specific size to fit the docks.

“The canal is shut down for the winter, so even if a [new] ferry was available, it would have to be dismantled at Whitehall and put back together to get it up to Lake Champlain,” Sayward explained. “This could take months.”

Palmer noted that LCT can’t be blamed for the shortage of winter-worthy ferries.

“Trey Pecor ’s hands are really tied,” she said, “he only has as many boats as he has.”

Stewart said LCT has already taken to ordering a new ferry, which will be built in Florida and delivered in October 2010.

Until then, ferry riders can go to www.ferries.com to sign up for alerts and updates through either e-mails or cell phone texts.

Fitting in not always important S

o many young people that I have encountered struggle to “fit in” or to “be part of the group.” Some feel that something is wrong with them or that they are somehow abnormal because they are not the most popular or do not have lots of friends. A significant flaw is imbedded in this line of reasoning.

While human beings are social animals, we are not pack or herd animals. We survive or fail largely on our individual ability and actions for the most part. Humans choose to be social and function well when they are, and many function equally well when they keep more to themselves. Functioning as an extrovert with many social relationships does not necessarily make you any happier or better off than someone that maintains fewer relationships. As in almost every relationship, the quality and meaningfulness of the relationship matters most.

There are many notable examples of individuals that we would consider isolated loners who accomplished great things; Bill Gates and Thomas Edison come to mind. When Galileo hypothesized that the earth moved around the sun and not the sun around the earth, he was severely punished.

When early scientists explained that the earth was not flat they were thought to be insane. Almost all independent thinkers offend conventional wisdom. If everyone wilted in the face of popular opinion or the desire to “fit in,” our world would look very different and much less evolved.

Maybe if children were taught at a young age to politely say “no thanks” sometimes when risky situations arise.

They might be empowered to be more dismissive of the mean people that they will undoubtedly sometimes encounter. We spend plenty of time pressuring children to say

yes, to yield to our wishes. If we always expect children to yield to us as adults, we could be making them more vulnerable to saying yes to situations that maybe damaging physically, socially and psychologically.

There will always be opportunists that will exploit a young person who is almost always willing to please others, even at their own peril.

Healthy people allow other

By Scot Hurlburt people to think for themselves, to follow their own ideas and notions. Crucial to these assumptions is the right of everyone else to do the same. It can be a real epiphany to understand that each of us controls our thoughts and actions, no one else. We cannot control what others do and we cannot control what they think of us.

I am not suggesting carelessness, but rather an adaptive indifference to that which is unalterable. In other words, if you know someone that is a jerk to you, avoid them if possible and if not, dismiss their impact on your life. You do have control over how you feel. Sometimes it is okay to just say, “Who cares.” Remember, all kids count.

How ‘Catalina’ coupons can help you save

I

f you’ve shopped for groceries at a large supermarket, you’ve undoubtedly noticed the long “string” of coupons that print out at the register along with your store receipt. These checkout coupons, or “Catalinas,” as coupon shoppers commonly call them, are incredibly valuable to coupon shoppers. (Catalina Marketing Corp. introduced the computer system that issues checkout coupons about 25 years ago, although the company says it’s not sure how or why shoppers picked up on the name.) If you’ve ever taken a look at the kinds of Catalinas that print after your shopping trip, you’ll notice that they typically fall into three categories: money-off coupons for specific products, coupons for money off on your next shopping trip or alerts of upcoming sales.

A shopper receives money-off Catalinas when the UPCs of certain items in their cart are scanned at checkout time.

The register “sees” a certain brand or type of item you are purchasing and spits out a Catalina that offers a discount on a competing item that you may consider purchasing in the future. Last week I purchased a certain brand of apple juice and received a $1 checkout coupon for a competitor ’s brand of apple juice. You may even receive a coupon for a free item! Just in the last month, I bought one variety of pet treats and received a coupon for a free package of treats from a competing brand. A couple of weeks later, I bought one brand of yogurt and received a Catalina for a free 4-pack of a competitor ’s brand of yogurt.

The second type of Catalina is issued during a general money-back sale at the store. You may see a store ad that states, “Buy any 10 products in this group and receive $10 off your next order.” That $10 savings comes in the form of a checkout coupon good for $10 off your next shopping trip. The discount is good on anything in the store. It’s just like having $10 cash to spend.

The third kind of checkout coupon is an “alert.” These coupon alerts aren’t technically coupons, since they don’t

offer money off anything in particular, but they do contain details of an upcoming sale at the store. These “secret” sales are typically not advertised in any of the store’s flyers, so these checkout alerts are the only way shoppers can get in on the savings.

Unfortunately, many shoppers consistently overlook the value of checkout coupons. It’s true that carryBy Jill Cataldo ing a long, somewhat cumbersome ticker-tape of Catalinas with your receipt as you exit the store can be a mild annoyance. But the value of all three of these varieties of coupon cannot be overstated. They’re all important, and you should save them all. I certainly do!

Just as we save all of our coupons that come in the newspaper, even the ones for things we think we may not buy, saving all of our Catalina coupons ensures that we’ll have them on hand in case those items go on sale too. Almost two months ago, I received three $1 coupons for a smoothie beverage that I’d never tried before. Even though this is a product I wasn’t terribly interested in purchasing, I held onto the Catalina coupons. A few weeks ago, just before those coupons were due to expire … the smoothies went on sale for $1. Because I’d saved my Catalinas, now I got three of them for free! © CTW Features

What you can do in the garden during the fall

D

uring the summer, I can spend hours just looking at a garden alive with butterflies, birds, bees, and blossoms. But, up here, it seems like the time to enjoy the blossoms is so short compared to the time the garden is empty of plants and pollinators.

Despite the lack of actively growing plants, there is still plenty to do in the garden. If you have a vegetable garden, now is the time to make sure all the garden debris is raked up and the garden is put to bed.

It’s important to clean up all the dead foliage every fall, because garden pests and plant diseases can overwinter in garden debris and cause problems in the garden next year.

If you had early blight or powdery mildew this season, be sure to be thorough with fall garden clean-up. These steps also help to prevent viruses, thrips, and problem beetles (such as potato beetles and flea beetles): Start by pulling up all the plants and weeds in the garden.

Get the roots and all. Then shred and compost any healthy plant material. The weeds and diseased plants should be bagged and disposed of in the garbage. Rake up all the remaining plant debris.

Next, rake up any fallen tree leaves from your lawn area or if you don’t have leaves in your lawn, snag some of your neighbor ’s leaves. Run the leaves over with a mulching lawnmower and add them to the garden bed. In the spring, turn or till the remaining leaves into the soil to improve your gardens fertility.

It really is amazing how a little extra time spend cleaning up the garden now, will make for a healthier garden next year!

InBrief Kiwanis Meeting and Special Presentation

Parents should be held responsible To the editor, According to your report on the Keene teen arrest (Valley News, Dec. 5), “at around midnight the nights of Nov. 20 & 21… engaged in sexual contact with a 12-year-old female.”

What on earth is a 12-year-old doing out at midnight?

What were her parents thinking? It would seem to me that adults in charge of a child’s welfare ought to have some culpability in this case. This, after all, carries a charge of “endangering the welfare of a child.” Or, is the “child” designation a matter of convenience?

Hoops for Hope promises great competition

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE — Some of the area’s best high schoolteams will play across conferences next weekend and support some very meaningful charities in the process.

The fourth annual Hoops for Hope Tournament will take place Dec. 18 and 19 at AuSable Valley Central School with teams competing from both the CVAC and MVAC, as well as from Vermont.

All proceeds from the tournament are split between two special charities. Half is donated to Hospice of the North Country, while the other half is given to the ALS Association, which funds research and treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly called Lou Gehrigs disease.

According to AuSable Valley boys basketball coach Jamie Douglass, the tournament started as “Hoops for Hospice,” a fundraiser in honor of his late grandmother, E. Lucille Coolidge, who received services from Hospice of the North Country.

However, after former Au Sable Valley three-sport standout Johnny Nixon passed away in December 2007 following a battle with ALS, the event took on a second cause.

Nixon, who graduated from AVCS in 1996, eventually returned to help coach the basket-

ball team for a short time.

“The kids really looked up to Johnny,” said Douglass. “We just want to try to give something back.”

The charities also hold special meaning for some of the players. T.J. Burl is Nixon’s nephew, and two other Patriots, Mike Hart and Brody Douglass, are both great-grandchildren of Coolidge.

Last year the event raised $965 for each of the two charities, nearly doubling its proceeds from the year before. This year, Douglass hopes they can draw enough of a crowd to raise at least that much.

American Legion Post #504, Graymont, Finney’s Sports, and Loreman’s all act as sponsors for the event, and parents volunteer to run the scorer ’s table and concession stand.

As usual, Au Sable Valley will host the tournament, which will count as non-league games for each of the teams involved. Both the JV and varsity squads will compete in both days of the tournament.

The host Patriots enter the tournament with an already great start to their season. They will face off against Willsboro, one of the stronger teams in the Mountain Valley Athletic Conference so far this year, and a regular participant in the tournament.

Also returning this year is Harwood Union, a Vermont school that won the tournament the past two years, and Westport, last year ’s

MVAC and Section VII Class D champions.

“The level of competition should be extremely strong,” said Douglass. “All [the teams] are stronger this year than they were last year.”

The goal, according to state Department of Transportation officials, is to assure that the new bridge is built as quickly as possible, and that it is aesthetically compatible within the context of the community and the environment.

During the presentations, project team members will review the design criteria for the new bridge and the feasible bridge types available for consideration. Attendees will be asked for input regarding features that should be included in the design, such as sidewalks, bicycle lanes, lighting and materials used, as well as the style of the new bridge. Options for commemorating the historic bridge will also be presented and discussed.

The meeting will also address demolition plans for the existing bridge including when and how it is likely to occur. Staff from both NYSDOT and Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) will be available following the formal portion of each meeting to discuss this information.

In addition to being open to the general public, “consulting parties” as defined under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act who are interested in participating in the Lake Champlain Bridge replacement project are invited to attend the public meeting and to submit a written request to become a consulting party to both NYSDOT and VTrans at R01LakeChamplainBridge@dot.s

Now through Christmas Eve, viewers are invited to drop off a new, unwrapped toy at the station’s locations in Colchester and Plattsburgh during regular business hours Monday through Friday. Alternatively, toys may be placed in one of the many red toy collection barrels located at businesses and organizations all across the region.

NewsChannel 5 Chief Meteorologist Tom Messner is again spokesperson for the campaign.

“This has been a really tough year for a lot of our friends and neighbors,” said Messner, “and we’re asking people to give extra generously to make sure every child has something to smile about on Christmas morning. It means so much to the kids and their parents.”

A list of barrel locations for those who would like to donate toys can be found on the station’s website, wptz.com. Application information for people who need toy/gift assistance is also available on the site.

St. Philip of Jesus Catholic Church 3746 Main Street. 963-4524.

tate.ny.us. Interested parties should include information about their experience and a statement explaining why they believe their participation would contribute to a consideration of the project's effects on historic properties.

The Lake Champlain Bridge was closed for safety reasons on Oct. 16 after it was discovered that piers supporting the bridge were dangerously deteriorated. The bridge provided a vital link for employment, commerce and medical care between Crown Point, New York, and Addison, Vermont.

If the meeting needs to be postponed due to inclement weather, an announcement will be posted online at www.nysdot.gov/lakechamplainbridge and will be emailed to those who have signed up for updates on the Lake Champlain Bridge. If this becomes the case, the meeting would be held on Sunday, Dec. 13, at the same time and place.

According to the state DOT, this is an inclusive process, and serious consideration will be given to the input received from those who live in the area and depend on the connection between Vermont and New York State.

In addition to receiving feedback from those who attend the public meetings, comments may be sent to NYSDOT via the project email account at R01LakeChamplainBridge@dot.s tate.ny.us.

Correction In the Dec. 5 issue of the Valley News, an article entitled “Keene teen arrested for rape, burglary” incorrectly reported that the alleged perpetrator, Kyle J. Kernan-Dudley was apprehended by police. Kernan-Dudley voluntarily turned himself in to police Nov. 25. When appearing in court Nov. 30, Kernan-Dudley pleaded not guilty to all charges.
