Holy Name will close doors in June

MLS hosts fun day at school

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com Au SABLE FORKS — Holy Name School Principal Christine Reynolds said her elementary students were sad when they came to school Friday, March 22 officially knowing they would be the last ones in the school’s 100-year history.

“They were a little sad this morning knowing that their school was going to close,” said Reynolds, who announced during a March 21 school meeting that the private Catholic institution would be closing its doors in June.

“The children are going to be resilient,” Reynolds added. “They will be fine, and we will help to make sure that they are fine.”

Reynolds said that all of the 56 students currently enrolled in pre-K through

Local officers train in Lake Placid

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

All-Valley boys team PAGE 17

LAKE PLACID — Two officers stood next to the men’s bathroom, weapons drawn.

One slowly moved out around the corner, looking down the hallway for an active shooter. The other stood

behind him, ready to move.

As one, the two officers moved from room to room, making sure each was clear.

Eventually, they came upon a room with people, and the sound of gunfire erupted.

The sequence of events was part of two days of intensive training March 20-21 at a former office complex in

Lake Placid held for local New York State Police, Sheriff ’s departments, municipal police and DEC law enforcement, among others.

“This has been in the planning stages for several months, and our major was very happy to host the training here,” Lt. Patrick Ryan, Assistant Zone III Com-

ELIZABETHTOWN — The musical talent of John Milbauer has opened him up to many new experiences. The highly-acclaimed Steinway pianist hopes to do the same for his audience when he performs in Elizabethtown March 30 and 31 as part of the Piano By Nature Concert Series.

Milbauer ’s performances have taken him across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, whether it be as a classical soloist with world-famous orchestras or as a collaborator with pop groups like the Mills Brothers and Pink Martini. He has earned prestigious recognition the world over, but he can still recall his humble beginnings.

“I grew up in a small town in central Wisconsin, pre-internet, and the piano quickly became a window to the world for me,” said Milbauer.

Milbauer earned admission to Harvard with no intention to pursue music as a career, but his addiction to the piano proved too fierce, and he transferred to the Eastman School of Music in the middle of his sophomore year. It was at Eastman where Milbauer met Rose ChanclerFeinbloom, now the director of Piano By Nature.

“John is absolutely the perfect fit for our series,” Chancler-Feinbloom said. “He plays extremely well; he is incredibly well-spoken

about many topics, wonderfully personable, and also has a special local connection as (Westport native) Dan Linder, Jr.’s current piano teacher.”

His recital in Elizabethtown will follow suit with a program including the classical works of Brahms and Mozart alongside more contemporary composers such as Manuel Ponce and John Cage. One of the most difficult pieces, Milbauer notes, is from Mario Davidovski’s “Synchronisms,” which requires playing against the backdrop of electronic music recorded on tape.

Milbauer said he is looking forward to playing in Elizabethtown, where the relatively small space encourages interaction with the audience and helps them enjoy the shared experience of a live performance.

Concerts will be held Saturday, March 30, 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 31, 3 p.m. at the historic Hand House, located on River Street. Refreshments and a meet-and-greet with Milbauer will follow. Suggested donations for this concert are $15 for adults and $5 for children under 18. Reservations are recommended as seating is limited. For reservations or more information, call 962-2949 or visit pianobynature.org.

ur local movie mavens strike again, this time with “Zero Dark Thirty” showing this Saturday at the Whallonsburg Grange at 7:30 p.m. This film is about the long hunt for Osama bin Laden and his eventual killing in Pakistan.

Although some aspects of the story are somewhat inaccurate, it’s regarded as a pretty good telling of this event. I’m not sure if it’s in the movie, but using satellite photos of the laundry on the household’s clothesline, analysts figured out there were more than the two families they knew about living there. As it turns out, the third family was bin Laden’s.

Last summer ’s mild weather greatly increased the local white-footed gopher population, which is the favorite food of Essex’s timber rattlesnakes. The chairman of Plattsburgh State’s herpetology department, Dr. C. Horridus, is predicting an explosion of rattlers this year. Although they don’t appear until the weather warms up, be on the lookout for these poisonous natives. And remember that even the small juveniles can give a lethal bite.

ur new shelter has been positively buzzing with activity during the past week. Both long-time shelter resident Mazy and our own minipanther Dee Dee have been adopted! They are both excited to be celebrating the coming of Spring and warmer weather in their new forever homes. Our Facebook page, facebook.com/NorthCountrySPCA, tells all about their heartwarming adoption stories. If you visit our page, you will also learn about Hooch, a purebred, Dogue de Bourdeaux, who arrived at the shelter recently with a terrible eye infection, so thin that we could nearly count his ribs. This gorgeous and personable pup is swiftly making a full recovery and hopes that his adoption story will be the next you will read on our Facebook page. If you have an adoption story of your own, or other petrelated thoughts you would like to share, please feel free to add your comments to our site!

Our featured pet this week is Leyla, a Dilute Tortoiseshell-mix kitten who was found with her sister, Lea, in an abandoned house where they were left to fend for themselves. These two little beauties were initially very shy and unsure of what

to think about our shelter staff, but they have quickly warmed up and love to entertain you with their kittenish antics. They are about 9 weeks old and full of energy and whimsy - they enjoy nothing better than clowning around for an audience! If you are thinking of adding a kitten to your family, Leyla may just be the feline for you - or, better, yet, why not adopt them both and double your fun?

This past weekend my son and I attended the Maple Festival at the 1812 Homestead where one could learn about the gathering and boiling of the Maple sap.

Then the Willsboro United Methodist Church had a rousing Palm Sunday service with our new Youth Choir sharing their voices for this great celebration of Christ’s entry in to Jerusalem. Hats off to the Whalonsburg Grange for having a very informative program on the effects of the climate changes in our region. Lori Torrance and I also attended a most interesting lecture at the Peru Library on the family line of an African American family. These were all offered in one weekend.

ad news from A.C.A.P., my employers at the After School Program: the grant runs out this year, and so at this point it looks like there won’t be an After School Program at Westport Central next year. That means that 20 to 25 of our Kindergarten to sixth graders will have to find somewhere else to do their homework, make arts and crafts, read books, hang out, and enjoy free play and organized activities.

It also means that 20 to 25 families will have to adjust so that mom or dad can get time off from work to watch their child, or grandma will have to take up the slack, or…what? Many families, especially those with single parents, don’t have a lot of options. But there you go.

One way you can help is to email Senator Schumer and Senator Gillibrand and ask them to support after school programs during the budget process, which is happening right now. In particular, you could ask them to support the Boxer Amendment, which would fund the 21st Century Community Learning Centers initiative.

This is the only federal grant system right now that funds after school, preschool, and summer learning programs. I have a bunch of young friends who would join me in thanking you. Not to mention their parents.

One of our parents is Wadhams resident Rose Chancler Feinbloom, a music educator whose teaching studio occupies the former Hamilton building here in town. As regular readers of this column will know, Rose also founded Piano By Nature, an organization dedicated to bringing exciting concerts to new audiences in the North Country. The concerts are held in Hand House in Elizabethtown, and I’ve told you about them before as they occur. Next up in the current series is a pair of eclectic recitals by Steinway pianist John Milbauer, which will take place Saturday, March 30 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 31 at 3 p.m.

John Milbauer is a well known performer and teacher who teaches piano at the University of Arizona. In fact, you may know one of his students, the very talented young pianist Dan Linder, who graduated from WCS a couple of years back.

Efforts in Albany to dissolve the Town of Essex are bearing fruit. Governor Cuomo’s initiative to consolidate towns and school districts will eliminate places like Essex and Westport with declining populations and few prospects for future growth. In an unusual and lucrative arrangement, the hamlet was sold off and will become part of Chittenden County, Vermont. The hamlet will be renamed and as part of Vermont will be referred to as a village. Names under consideration are Charlotte West and Deanstown (in honor of former governor Howard Dean). Hamlet residents will be given a year to get green license plates and register to vote in one of Vermont’s 16 political parties. As new Vermonters, hamlet residents will enjoy much lower in-state tuition at UVM and a reduced sales tax rate, although to demonstrate allegiance to their new state, they will be required to learn the state song. Whallonsburg will become the seat of government for the rest of Essex, the northern half of Westport and the outlying sections of Lewis and Willsboro.

Easter services set in Westport WESTPORT — Westport Federated Church will celebrate Easter Sunday, March 31, with a Sunrise Service at 6:30 a.m. on the parsonage lawn (behind the church) with a breakfast following in the fellowship hall. Regular service in the sanctuary at 9 a.m. The church will be open for prayer time on Good Friday.

Police training from page 1 Tupper Lake Police Officer Wesley Hoyt said. “I do not think that I have received training like this since I was in the service.”

Ryan said that the active shooter training had been offered for the past three years, however, those interested in attending had to travel to Albany or further to participate.

“It is very realistic training that they are putting you through,” DEC Capt.

John Streiff said. “I would encourage any law enforcement officers to take this training.”

Bob Stallman, Acting Director of Operations for the New York State Preparedness Center, a division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, oversaw the training exercises.

“This is active shooter training for law enforcement dealing with situations that could take place in an office complex, school, movie theater or mall,” Stallman said. “An active shooter scenario can really happen anywhere. The mind set of law enforcement has not changed on this, because police know that this can happen anywhere at anytime.”

One thing Stallman said has changed is the tactics involved in an active shooter situation. Previously, the situation was taught using a four-officer team. Now, it is done on a two-by-two basis.

Law enforcement officers from several agencies were in Lake Placid March 20-21 to take part in live shooter situation drills.

That’s 480 seconds, so if we wait for more people to show up on scene valuable time is lost, so now we focus on the first two officers that arrive.”

Viewpoint

Canada’s border policy Holy Days still relevant T should be revisited W

e all make mistakes. Sometimes, they can cost us money, a job, or even earn us time in jail. As individuals, we can learn from those mistakes, smooth over the rough patch our life has become, and move on to become positive forces within our communities. In all but the most extreme circumstances, our society makes allowances for such things. We live and we learn.

Now, try explaining that to a border control officer on the way to Montreal with a mini van full of family members looking forward to spending a day at the Biodome. Chances are, if you have had more than two arrestable offenses in your lifetime you'll be making a quick U-turn back onto I-87 and will soon find yourself discussing other options with your perturbed family.

This is a familiar scenario in the North Country, one that is as frustrating as it is puzzling. If you haven't heard this one before, take note—if you have committed two arrestable offenses in your lifetime, you can be denied access to Canada.

Some offenses, like a DUI, a lesser form of a DWI in New York State, only take one strike before you’re out.

Canada has a deal with the U.S. that allows its officers access to U.S. databases; specifically, arrest records. Some infractions, like driving while under the influence, are considered serious crimes in Canada.

On the surface, it doesn't seem so bad.

They're just trying to keep criminals at bay, right?

But what about the man who was a hellion in college, and was arrested for defacing a street sign one night, and for getting into a bar fight another. Sure, those things should be punished, but there is a line between scofflaw and malefactor.

Let's fast forward 20 years. That same hellion is now married, the head of a company, has two children he’s now getting ready to put through college, and is

an active member of his community, the same one he raised a ruckus in as a 20something. Is he not redeemed? At what point should someone's dues be paid?

The DUI issue recently came up at a press conference held at the North Country Chamber of Commerce to discuss the economic relationship between the United States and Canada. It was a cheery affair, complete with resplendent hope for co-operation and the economic growth of both countries. Companies will transcend the border, jobs will be created and we’ll all live happily together.

But there's a hitch. If a company from Canada is built in Plattsburgh and requires its workers to be trained in Canada, those who can't cross the border are out of luck.

There are ways around this, but the process can take up to a year to complete.

To simply apply for an application to be granted entry can cost between $200 and $1,000, and there is no guarantee you will be allowed into Canada afterward.

In some corners of the North Country, there is some animosity toward Canadians. It’s been mentioned in editorials throughout the region, and it was brought up at the chamber meeting. Perhaps making it easier to get into the country would be a logical first step to improving understanding for one another. Both countries would benefit from easier access, not only in tourist dollars, but in terms of the newly proposed job growth, too.

We are not trivializing the seriousness of drinking and driving, but it does seem prudent for Canada to begin rethinking its “no tolerance” policy. It will only serve to strengthen the ties between two countries whose ties are already strong.

Drawing the line at felonies is a better way to keep the criminals out while still allowing those of us who have made a mistake to get on with our lives and get into Canada.

here seems to be so much head shaking craziness all around us these days. From senseless shootings and violence, out of control politics, over the top excesses that challenge others to push the envelope to even further extremes, to worries about unmanned drones flying overhead and home appliances spying and sharing valuable personal information. So many of today’s modern creations boggle the mind, even from just a short while back in time. But are we using them for the betterment of our society or are they becoming the catalyst that drive us to these wild extreme measures?

I can remember a time not long ago when life was slower and it seemed as though the majority of the country shared similar values. Collectively the nation knew right from wrong and in doing so kept us focused on life’s daily challenges, family and a shared sense of community. These values are still on display today but we also know that many among us are afraid to speak out and express their views for fear of retaliation or humiliation. As a nation we’ve become more driven by a vocal minority then a silent majority.

The computing power of today’s cheapest smart phone far exceeds the computing power used by the NASA space capsule that first put man on the Moon. It seems the power and capabilities of these little devices are increasing so rapidly one has to wonder where it will lead. And are these technological marvels becoming too smart and too controlling over our lives?

Technology and its inventions can be a distraction that changes the focus of human purpose. I’m concerned that many of the problems facing society today are driven by a material belief that is placing greater faith in human self reliance than placing our trust in God, the true creator and supreme being.

As we prepare for the celebrations of Passover and Easter, once again we see government entities opting for political correctness by removing the word Easter from traditional celebrations in schools and communities. They claim to be doing so out of fear of offending but in reality it is fear of lawsuits by a small but vocal minority.

Like Christmas, Easter has become increasingly commercialized. But by removing

the true meaning, we allow the holiday to become nothing more than a Hallmark event. We no longer collectiveDan Alexander ly look for divine Thoughts from support and no Behind the Pressline longer speak out when obvious actions erode the origins of our nation built on the freedoms endowed by our creator.

I wonder if in time, as technology expands and we become more and more reliant on technology, will it be used wisely? Can we maintain control over the information or will it be used to negatively affect society? I also wonder if something as remarkable as the smart phone is becoming the golden idol of choice in society today? Are we becoming seduced by its capabilities, its dynamic intelligence and vibrant display? People seem so captivated by their phones today they simply can’t put them down. The smart phone allure is so powerful it is having serious effects on both workplace productivity and personal relationships.

Now don’t get me wrong, I too am a smart phone user but as this technology advances we must not let it be the central point around which our lives revolve. Personal relationships, love of family and neighbor and the recognition of our creator must remain paramount in our lives or the problems that plague our society will only grow worse.

Our ability to solve interpersonal disagreements won’t happen when our mind, eyes and thumbs are focused on the cyber world, a capable distraction, but never the end all.

Faith-based democracies, like the United States and Israel, are places where the freedom to practice and express ones faith has flourished and survived, because they’ve remained true to their founding origins. These are important facts to keep in mind this week as we celebrate the holy events of Passover and Easter, keeping in mind their historical relevance, which is very much still a priority in our lives today.

The actions of these groups, and their supporting members, has shown their selfish motives have nothing to do with the environment, and will continue to further divide the interests of the Adirondack Park.

Letter about fair To the Valley News: Dear Mr. Douglas, After Bertha Rand’s presentation about plans for the 2013 Essex County Fair at our recent March meeting, Westport Town Supervisor Dan Connell shared that the County may be interested in disposing of ownership of the Fair Grounds in Westport.

After discussion, the Chamber unanimously instructed me to write to you and the County Board of Supervisors to express our concern for the Fair. We believe the Summer Fair should continue. Furthermore, we urge the supervisors to negotiate a plan where the Fair not only continues, but also the use of the grounds is expanded. A professional event organizer-promoter, possibly hired on a commission basis, should be engaged to schedule events from May through October.

Let’s allow the Fair grounds the opportunity to maximize its potential!

Thank you for your consideration and for sharing our concerns with the full Board of Supervisors.

Dee Carroll President Westport Chamber of Commerce

Re-Thinking Dissolution To the Valley News: We were glad when we were told that a study for dissolution was going to be done.

We felt it was the right way of informing the village residents if dissolution was the way to go. Like many of the village residents we did feel dissolution would benefit the village home owners. Until the information started coming out how dissolution was not going to benefit the village residents in the way we felt it would or should. Over 66 percent of village residents would have an increase village taxes. Contrary to the article in March 6 paper this is not a small population. This does not include the fee for any special districts.

We decided to check with other villages who had dissolved or did a study and did not dissolve. Here is what we were told.

In larger areas, where there is huge population there was not much of change. They were a village in one town. Some special district had to be formed, but again because of the huge population in those areas the fee was not a real concern.

We then started looking into more rural areas. This was truly an education. One village that is in one town did a study and put it up for a vote. lt do not pass. When asked why?

They said it was because the committee not only looked at what the consultant gave them, they chose to take it more in depth.

They looked at what special districts may

Holy Name Continued from page 1 grade 6 at Holy Name School are from the communities of Au Sable Forks and Keeseville.

“All of their sports programs and several other activities come through this community,” Reynolds said. “All the kids in the community already know each other even if they are in different schools.”

In announcing the closure, Reynolds sent a pair of letters to parents, alumni and the community.

“When I first arrived, I was told that I may be principal for only one year,” she said in the letter. “I took the job with the hopes that together we would be able to keep this little school going. We kept the school going for three years!”

Reynolds said that the decision was made after “much thought, number crunching and prayer.”

With the closure, Reynolds said she is working to help students who will be transitioning into the AuSable Valley School District.

“In May we have a Fun on Wheels bicycle safety event that we are hoping to go over to Au Sable Forks Elementary to do the helmet fittings,” she said. “In June I am hoping to get together with (AFES principal) Ginene Mason so our students will have a chance to go over and see the classrooms and meet with the teachers and students they will be with next year.”

In the letter, Reynolds stated that economic hardship, overall

Against repeal have to be formed, the number of people in the district and came up with an estimated cost. lt was very high. They looked at the water and sewer that was only in the village.

They felt that this would not make too much of a change. So why was dissolution voted down? In the end it was determined that the special districts would increase every village resident taxes. Voters felt that they were losing and not gaining. Most residence are happy with the village and liked their community.

In another area we asked the same questions. Dissolution did pass and the village was dissolved. We were told that when they voted to dissolve the village residents did not have all the facts. They went on the study only.

After dissolution came all the information on special districts, state mandates for both special districts, water and sewer etc. Village home owner now pay any where from 25 to 40 percent more in taxes than they did under the village. Some felt if they had to do it over they would get more information before dissolving. You need more than just the study itself.

When you vote for the plan it is only the village plan. The town plans come later and in our case this is where the changes happen.

The towns only have to follow the village dissolution plan for a short period of time.

Since doing our homework we are not for dissolution of the village at this time. We feel we do not have all the facts. lt is a real concern for us that over half of the village home owners taxes will go up. This is not knowing what special districts would have to form, not to mention our water and sewer. Will we be in the situation as our neighboring towns with our water and sewer?

We have started a petition not to accept the village plan at this time. We hope village residence will sign the petition to not accept the current plan and allow more time to get the right information we need to make an intelligent decision.

We all know there are flaws in any type of government, from the federal to the local

decrease in the student census in the AuSable Valley district and the decline in the number of participating Catholics had led to a decrease in enrollment and funding.

“Low enrollment has required us to borrow money from the Diocese to meet expenses this year and has resulted in an extreme financial burden to our parish families,” the letter stated.

“The biggest problem is that our school is too small to continue,” Reynolds said.

At the Jay town offices, Supervisor Randy Douglas said he was sorry to hear about the decision to close.

“The Holy Name School has been providing sound spiritual values and academics to children in our Town for 100 years,” Douglas said. “As an alumni family of the Holy Name School, my children and I learned the importance of building meaningful relationships with God, family and the community. My father, brother, Uncle and I all coached the Holy Name Roadrunners basketball program for years and many friendships were made along the way. The school’s closing is a major loss to our community.”

“The decision to put my children in the Holy Name School, has been one of the best decisions of my life,” Susan Richards, Supervisor ’s Clerk and member of the AuSable Valley School Board, said. “Society isn’t kind today, but inside those four walls, it was almost heaven. Students cared about one another deeply and welcome their differences.”

levels. We cannot and should not dissolve our village because the state wants it. New York State is in a mess, Towns are uncertain of their own funding and have there own issue's. The Village and towns together are stronger working together than separately.

Respect decision, locals To the Valley News: Since the Article 78 lawsuit was filed against the APA one year ago by PROTECT the Adirondacks, Sierra Club, Thompson, and Harrison regarding the Adirondack Club permit, people throughout the Adirondack Park felt that the Plaintiffs actions were frivolous and selfishly driven. So, it was rewarding to see that Supreme Court Judge Platkin had similar feelings in his ruling issued last Thursday. Even some of the Plaintiffs members have questioned whether their dollars are being wasted on something so frivolous.

It was also fulfilling that much of what Judge Platikin wrote could be viewed as a certain degree of chastising of the Plaintiffs.

Stating that, “the untailored and excessively broad nature of the (Plaintiffs) disclosure request, and the substantial delay, expense and other burdens attendant to the requested disclosure, considerations of reason and good sense compel the denial of this motion.” In other words, your actions have no merit.

But, don't let it surprise any of us, that while Tupper Lake and surrounding region suffer greater economic difficulties at the hands of PROTECT and the Sierra Club, they will argue that they have the best interest of the Park and its people, and will look at appealing the decision or taking a different tact. What they attempt to prove through the numerous lawsuits they enjoy filing, only shows that they have no interest in building common ground for the entire Park ecosys-

With the transition, AVCS Superintendent Paul Savage said that the district will work with Holy Name to help with any needed transition.

“We will continue to assess over the next few months and will continue to work with our Elementary Principal and the Holy Name staff and families to help make this as seamless as a transition as possible,” Savage said.

He also said that he felt the transition could be done with minimal budget impact.

“We do feel confident that we have the capabilities, including physical structure, of accommodating what would be an average of about three-to-four students per class at AFES,” Savage said.

“Obviously, with an addition of around 30 students there will be some type of impact to our budget numbers, class sizes and potential need for additional services, but we are confident that we will have what is needed in our budget to accommodate this transition.”

Reynolds said that as the school year closes, there will be a chance for alumni to gather April 20 at the annual Blue and Gold Dinner Dance.

“There will be yearbooks form throughout the years and pictures that go way back that people will be able to look back on,” Reynolds said.

She added that the dance, along with the annual auction in May, are fundraisers that will help the school cover the costs that still need to be paid for in 2012-13.

To the Valley News: I attended the Essex County Board of Supervisors Meeting at which the Board voted in favor of repeal of the SAFE ACT. I agree with those that claim there are provisions of the SAFE Act that are ill conceived and unclear, but I also think that it includes provisions that are reasonable. The Board’s resolution in favor of repeal rather than amendment of the SAFE ACT, its invocation of the Second Amendment in support of repeal, and the Board’s failure to offer suggested changes, perpetrates the unfounded notion that all gun control laws are a violation of the Second Amendment.

This is a point I tried to make, unsuccessfully, at the meeting: The U.S. Supreme Court’s gun control decisions of 2008 and 2010 made it clear that the Second Amendment is “not a right to keep and carry any weapons whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.” As one expert notes, “the American right to bear arms has alway co-existed with gun regulation.

The Founding Fathers had gun laws so restrictive that today’s NRA leaders would never support them.” Justice Scalia’s majority opinion upholding an individual right to bear arms was limited to the facts of the case: the use of a handgun for self protection in the home. Lower court decision since the Supreme Court’s decisions have upheld many different gun control laws. In his nuanced opinion, Justice Scalia noted that Supreme Court’s opinion should not cast doubt on a wide range of gun laws.

I am a strong supporter of hunting as a sport and as a way of controlling species overpopulation. The County’s repeal resolution draws no distinction between the legitimate interest of hunters, and those who hold the radical view, as a number of the audience members asserted, that the Second Amendment bars any restriction on the ownership and use of firearms including bans on weapons whose purposes are not for hunting but to kill humans.

Casino Continued from page 1 be a candidate for one of three gaming facilities proposed to be built in upstate New York earlier this year.

“There has been a lot of comments and a lot of rumors,” Douglas said. “The committee asked me to send a letter to the governor to ask if Essex County would be in consideration for one of the three casinos that he proposed.”

In the letter, Douglas said there have been “a few” possible sites discussed for the building of a casino, mentioning by name the former Frontier Town Amusement Park property in North Hudson.

The letter then asks for clarification on any matters that may prevent a casino from being built in Essex County. “...we would like to clarify whether Essex County would be considered for such a project as we realize that there are restrictions with previous agreements between the state of New York and various Native American groups,” the letter said.

Another site that has been talked about is the former Lowe’s Store in Ticonderoga.

Douglas said that he would wait to hear from the governor before moving forward with any campaign for gaming in the county.

“If he comes back and says yes, then we will go back to the table and start looking at what we can do,” Douglas said.

Musicians Return to Essex Inn ESSEX — The Essex Inn on Main Street will have a repeat performance by local musicians on Saturday, March 30 starting at 7 p.m. The group, informally known as "Musical Flashback," performs their own arrangements of well-known songs of groups from years past — The Beatles, Everly Brothers, Elvis, The Eagles, The Band, etc.

AVCS officials looking to fill budget gaps while waiting for state run

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE — Even under the best of circumstances, the AuSable Valley Central School District will be looking at a deficit as it prepares the 2013-14 budget.

As a result, Superintendent Paul Savage presented three plans to the AVCS Board of Education during its March 20 meeting, with deficits ranging from $834,494 to $1,119,223.

However, those numbers may decrease when the state passes a budget, Savage said.

“We are going to have to find the money to close a gap no matter what,” Savage said. “It may be only $400,000 or $500,000 if we are lucky and we get some funding re-instated from the state. But that is a significant gap and we can't tell you much more because we do not have the final numbers from the state,” he said.

Savage said he was not going to start looking at cutting specific areas until he had the final numbers from the state.

“Our goal is to not be over-reactive,” he said. “We do not want to over-hype it and get people thinking that the sky is falling. That has always been our goal and that is how I operate.”

The district has a tax levy threshold cap of 5.96-percent, allowing it to raise up to $12,783,822 in property tax revenue, which would be a $719,060 increase from the $12,064,762

Grant applications sought KEENE — The Honeybee Community Fund is seeking applications for its annual funding cycle. Grants of up to $1,000 are awarded yearly to assist small businesses, farmers, nonprofit organizations, environmental projects and the arts. Applicants must reside in and/or do business in

raised in 2012-13.

Under the cap, the district currently faces a deficit of $834,494 in revenue under a budget calling for $30,187,165 in spending.

Savage also presented proposals for a 4.6 and 3.6 percent tax levy increase, which would leave deficits of $998,575 and $1,119,223, respectively.

“We have no intention of exceeding a tax cap threshold,” Savage said. “I do not feel that we are in that situation and I would not recommend doing it. Do we like this, no. But it is a fact and we are going to deal with it. We have lost about 14 percent in aid and that is a financial hardship on any district.”

Savage said the current budget plan calls for $231,000 in fund balance that is coming from a premium that was part of the capital project. He added that he would be concerned using more fund balance, which is currently around $675,000.

“Our fund balance is not large and for us, we have to think beyond one year we have to look two or three years out,” Savage said. “If we are going to use that, we have to be systematic about how we use it because something can happen.”

Savage said that no matter what the state numbers come to, the district will work to keep quality programs while providing a budget that can be paid for by those in the district.

“I think that we as a whole have done a god job maintaining our programs and being able to save a little in fund balance in the past,” he said. “I hope that we can continue to do that again after this year. We are not magicians. We do our best to maximize what we have and do our best with it. We have tried to always watch those two numbers and keep them to where we can maintain what we have and taxpayers can continue to afford it.”

Hawaiian visitors greeted by snow as CFES exchange program continues

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com

Steve Boyce, College For Every Student program director, joins students and teachers from Dole Middle School in the Ka Ha’aheo O Kalihi section of Honolulu during a visit to Ticonderoga Middle School.

Photo by Fred Herbst seen snow, so I told them that they needed to go right out and build a snowman,” Aubrey Bresett of CFES said.

Also, while Ticonderoga has about 5,000 residents, Honolulu County has nearly 1 million.

“It’s cold and it’s small,” said Sadie Theodore, a Hawaiian seventh grader. “But I like it here. Everyone’s nice. This is a wonderful opportunity and experience.”

The Hawaiian visitors stayed with host families in Ticonderoga and were assigned “buddies” — Ti students — to shadow during the school day. While in the North Country they visited Fort Ticonderoga, attended the Ti High Pops concert, made trips to St. Mary’s and Crown Point schools, went snowshoeing, went sledding, took part in a CFES workshop in Essex, toured Essex Farm and visited other local landmarks.

“It’s a busy week for everyone,” said Heather York, Ti’s

CFES liaison. “We want them to experience as much as possible while here.”

The Hawaiian students also played teacher, presenting programs to local students on their home state and school.

“We want people to learn about Honolulu and Hawaii,” Kauleinamoku said. “Part of our learning experience is teaching others about us.”

Boyce said other CFES have similar exchange programs, through not with a school in Hawaii. Willsboro Central School, he noted, sends students to Wadleigh Middle School in Harlem.

“It’s all about exposing kids to as many different things and people as possible,” he said.

TICONDEROGA — Despite being shocked by nearly a foot of snow on their arrival, a group of Hawaiian students visiting Ticonderoga Middle School felt right at home.

“I sense the ‘ohana spirit,” said Karlene Kauleinamoku.

“Everyone is very welcoming. I feel a sense of family here.”

Part of Hawaiian culture, ‘ohana means family. It emphasizes that families are bound together and members must cooperate and remember one another.

Kauleinamoku, a teacher at Dole Middle School in the Ka Ha’aheo O Kalihi section of Honolulu, was part of a group of six students and two teachers who visited Ticonderoga March 19-24 as part of a College For Every Student exchange program.

It’s the second time Dole students have visited Ticonderoga. Ti students went to Hawaii two years ago and hope to return in 2014.

“These two schools are just about as far apart as you can get,” said Steve Boyce, CFES program director. “We (CFES) feel very strongly students need to be able to handle diversity. This is an opportunity for students from both schools to learn about each other and themselves.”

CFES, based in Essex, is a non-profit organization committed preparing students for college. It works with 200 rural and urban schools in 24 states.

The greatest lesson, according to Ti Middle School Principal John Donohue, may have nothing to do with differences.

“It’s a tremendous opportunity for kids from both schools to learn about diversity,” Donohue said. “Not just the obvious cultural differences, but the way our schools operate, they way we live. In the end, though, I think the most important thing is that they learn kids are kids everywhere.

They have more in common than they realize.”

Kauleinamoku agreed.

“Certainly there are differences, but they (students) are adolescents and they act like adolescents,” she said. “Some days they impress you, other days you wonder what they’re thinking.”

“What has been most valuable is the experience that the students get,” CFES V.P. of Programs Tara Lambert said.

“They have really similar challenges, and this is a way to expose them to see that as well as what is beyond their own town lines.”

There sure are differences. While Ticonderoga was in the midst of snow storm when the Hawaiian contingent arrived, it was 80 degrees in Honolulu.

“A lot of the kids said this was the first time they had even

111 runners and walkers turn out for the Doc Lopez Run for Hope

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — More than 100 runners and walkers turned out for the Doc Lopez Run for Hope to use their athleticism to raise money for a good cause March 23.

The 111 run participants ran and or walked either the 3.1 mile course or 13.1 mile race that included a run up Baxter Mountain on Route 9N as part of the 33 Annual Doc Lopez Run for Hope which benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

“We raised $2,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and had the largest number of participants this year, with travelers from afar and a even a 5-month pregnant 3.1 mile participant,” said event organizer Susan Allott.

Jan Wellford was the first to finish the course with a time of 1:18:46, the fastest woman runner was Colleen Porter with 1:46:38.

The run is named for Westport veterinarian Robert “Doc” Lopez, an avid runner who initiated this event.

The 12.1 mile course begins at the Keene Community Center and finishes at the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School. The 5K race course was an out-and-back route beginning and ending at the Elizabethtown Lewis Central School.

Medals for 14 different age categories and the oldest and youngest runners were awarded.

Racers raised funds by paying a $20 fee for adult runners and a $50 for family running teams with students in age range of Kindergarten through grade 12.

Next year Allott said they hope to increase the number of runners.

“We're looking to push the 3.1 miler and 1 mile walk up to 10 a.m. next year to close the gap between events,” said Al-

lott. “Next year we want to start online registration. I said when we got over 100 runners we would go online, and we have exceeded that.

Allott said participants came from as far away as Buffalo, Potsdam, Burlington, Vt., and Montreal.

Supervisors seek property tax sale

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County is looking to hold a sale in the spring on properties that are delinquent in paying their property tax.

During the March 18 Personnel Committee meeting, North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said he hoped the county would work quickly to hold that tax sale due to the need for revenue in the county.

"Given the financial crisis that we are facing, there is a lot of money here that is being left on the table," Politi said.

Politi and board Chairman Randy Douglas both tried to set a date for a tax sale on properties listed on the 2006, 2007 and 2008 tax rolls in April. County Attorney Dan Manning said those properties should be ready for a sale.

"We have outstanding 2006-2008, and they should be ready to go," Manning said.

"I can get a date tomorrow if you want me

to."

"If we can set the date for the 2006-2008 sale for early spring or summer sale then we could set a fall date for the others," Douglas said.

Manning said that there are some properties that have issues attached to them, which he would not make part of a tax sale.

"If we feel that there is going to be a problem with property, we take them out until the problem is solved," he said.

"I agree that if you have some problems with the property, take it out," Politi said.

"There is a lot of money here. We are going to be facing real issues here in a couple of months."

During the meeting, the county also moved a resolution to the Ways and Means Committee authorizing a five-year contract with DEC for reimbursement of Solid Waste Disposal costs outside of Essex County for 2012 through 2017 $1,470,000 total or for $294,000 annually subsidy for the county's cost.

LEWIS — Through the auspices of the 1033 Excess Military Program, the Essex County Sheriff’s Office was able to obtain a used military Humvee vehicle which was recently put into service.

After the flooding of Hurricane Irene in 2011, the Sheriff’s Office utilized the services of the Defense Reutilization Offices and NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services to bring a surplus Humvee to Essex County for backcountry and flooding rescue efforts to be better prepared for future disasters. This vehicle was declared surplus by the military and is on indefinite loan to the Sheriff’s Office. The vehicle first went to BOCES in Mineville for servicing and body work then to the Essex County Highway Department for installation of emergency lights and a paint job.

This is another service that the Sheriff’s Office can provide to the residents of Essex County in this fiscally conservative time.

The vehicle is on indefinite loan, free of charge and all work so far has been done utilizing asset forfeiture monies received from criminal enterprises such as drug deals.

The Excess Military Program has been responsible for providing equipment and vehicles to police agencies state wide for a number of years. Under this program, police can obtain aircraft, rescue vehicles, weaponry and equipment on a loan basis. Basically, anything that can be justified for police and public safety use can be requested. A significant number of police agencies and Sheriff’s Offices have utilized this service and have these vehicles in service for public safety.

Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting said that the police are one of the first agencies to respond during natural disasters and having this Humvee will better enable us to travel in hazardous conditions to better serve our residents. The Humvee is a fourwheel drive vehicle suited for high water and/or deep snow. This vehicle will allow us to get in and out of areas helping evacuations when necessary.

“Our deputies are out there in blizzards, flooding, hurricanes and ice storms,” Cutting said. “This vehicle not only helps our residents, but also gives the deputy the added assurance of having a vehicle that will take them there and back in the best possible manner.”

“We are very fortunate to have a vehicle of this caliber in preparation of possible future disasters at a very minimal cost to the tax payers of Essex County, especially after the suffering my towns’ people went through during Irene and the rescues that took place,” Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas said. “I applaud the Sheriff for his foresight.”

A day at the Adk Sportsmans Dinner

Diversity of wildlife depends on a diversity of forests, fields, and weedy edges, which provide a variety of habitats.

Farmers: True caretakers of the land

A

s has been my custom in recent years, I spent the third Saturday of March at the Adirondack Sportsmans Dinner in Schroon Lake. The annual gathering, which is hosted annually by a group of local ministries, continues to draw a diverse group of sportsmen and women, and similar outdoor travelers from all walks of life.

Despite an initial impression that I had stumbled upon a redneck reunion, I soon realized the attendees spanned the spectrum of North Country folks ranging from loggers and carpenters to school teachers and physicians. A similarly eclectic mix could likely be found sharing similar stories in any local bar room, ball field, firehouse or at the local church following a Sunday service.

As the guests began to pile out of their old, rusted pickup trucks and similarly battered, 4WD vehicles, it was obvious that camo caps were the most common fashion accessory, while blue jeans with the faded circle of a ‘chew can’ on the back pocket ran a close second.

Their vehicles soon filled the parking lots, and it was obvious they all shared a common thread. I began reading bumper stickers, and it was apparent a sea of Red had flooded into a Blue state. God, guns and strong beliefs about both the NRA and the APA, were the most common theme.

They were friends and neighbors from across the North Country, and even though most of them had never met before, they shared backgrounds and participated in similar pursuits. They followed the same traditions; whether man, woman or child, and they were united by the shared commonality of enjoying an outdoor life. By the day’s end, many memories were made and friendships renewed. I’m glad I was invited, it sure was a nice segue to spring.

After sharing the day with a group of old friends that I hadn’t even met yet, I traveled further down the Northway to attend the annual rendezvous of the NYS Outdoor Guides Association.

The rendezvous provides an opportunity for prospective guides to take the NYSDEC guides license exam, and it also provides further opportunities for training and certification for member guides.

Like the old trapper ’s Rendezvous of the Rockies, the current day gatherings provide member guides with the opportunity to share the company of like-minded professionals, and to compare notes, tips and tall tales. As usual, there were more tall tales than truths, and plenty of laughs.

However, I was also involved in a more serious discussion concerning a response I had sent to a request the association had received for a guide. Earlier in the year, a gentleman had sent a request to members of the association seeking the services of a licensed guide to assist him in achieving the goal of becoming an Adirondack ’46er.

Although he had already climbed several of the high peaks, he wanted to hire a guide to help him tackle some of the more remote peaks which require a base camp. His request described a desire to find a competent, experienced guide to help him achieve his goal. I had considered responding to his request, until I discovered the caveat he had included, which read simply, “and please, no hunters.”

I reread his request, which was pretty simply and straight forward. Hunters need not reply. He wanted a competent woodsman, or woman to accompany him up and down the High Peaks. But, if the competent guide also happened to be a hunter, then he was for some reason, no longer safe or competent company.

It was the first time I had experienced discrimination based exclusively on my choice of recreational activities.

It didn’t sting, but it was an insult to all fellow hunters. It wasn’t a matter of race, or creed, or religion, or any other persuasion. I was unqualified simply because I hunted.

Needless to say, I responded to the request in rather firm terms, and I asked fellow members to consider the obvious discrimination.

I also questioned the board if the association would be willing to accept an equally discriminatory request for a guide who was not gay, disabled, Irish, blind or blond.

They had to consider the situation from a different frame of mind. Should a potential customer be allowed to dictate the particular lifestyle pursuits of a potential guide, which are irrelevant to the individual‘s skills in the woods?

M

y career with the Soil Conservation Service, now renamed the Natural Resources Conservation Service, spanned 27-plus years and three counties; Washington, Clinton and Essex. I have come to know most of the farmers in the

By Rich Redman Lake Champlain Valley, and many are personal friends. I have the deepest respect for their way of life; they are the true caretakers of the land!

Over the years, I have heard all the horror stories about hunters on their property, such as poaching, damaged fences, gates left open, garbage left behind, torn up wet fields by trucks, and trees cut down, so they could get a better view from their tree stand. And some hunters wonder why they can’t get permission to hunt farmland.

This is my view of farm life: Spring is near, so planting season will be under way on nearby farms. The moldboard plow, chisel plow or other implements of tillage will be out scratching the earth’s back. Mechanical horse power supplied by diesel or in some cases, the real deal horse power of the Belgium will be the beast of burden. Once disked, the planter will do its job, placing the seed into the soil. Smooth as glass fields will be planted to corn, alfalfa, soybeans and grass hay crops. Apple trees have been winter pruned and fertilized for a new season’s bounty.

Land management practices such as manure spreading, fertilization, insect and weed control, are all part of the plan. The apple grower must have a quality product to sell. For dairy and beef operations, the goals are quality crops for milk and beef production. Natures’ curse of frost, floods, drought and pests, merge with humanities curse: taxes, breakdowns and labor shortages to plague the farmer’s ability to survive.

Feeds must be stored and fed out all winter long to produce the milk, cheese, yogurt, grains, vegetables, sweet corn, apples, berries, and juicy steaks we all enjoy. A year’s worth of crops must be put up in our short growing season, so the farmer can earn a year’s worth of income. It all hinges on sunlight, soil, moisture, nutrients, animal health, mechanical skills and a farmer’s skill at multitasking all of the variables.

Livelihoods depend on the heartbeat of the growing season.

The wildlife, harvests the same quality feed as the dairy, beef cow or human. It’s not rocket science. It’s quality feed!

Mature grasses, legumes and grains all produce seeds. These crops feed the birds. Weeds left along field edges provide seeds for birds like the Snow Bunting which migrates south to our area to spend the winter. Is it any wonder the wildlife population near active farms is always higher. Food is the key.

In addition to feed, there is cover. Hedgerows, brush piles, stream beds, woodlands and wetlands all provide habitat that is managed by the local farmer.

Woodlands produce acorns, tree seeds, stump sprouts and growing root suckers. Young tender shoots of saplings such as red maple, sugar maple and oak all provide browse. Aspen buds feed grouse while wild apples provide high energy feed.

Like two habitat gears meshing, cropland and woodlots provide the diversity for many species. Wildlife, such as squirrels, deer, turkeys and ruffed grouse are more plentiful on managed lands than unmanaged forested areas. Saw logs for lumber, pulp for paper, chips for bio-energy, fire wood, maple syrup, and wildlife habitat are all produced by managed forested acres.

Working landscapes provide food for farm and forest wildlife, along with the economic ability and opportunities for families to thrive.

So, the next time you hunt a woodlot, fish a brook, or flush a bird from an open grassy field, think about the family that owes its livelihood to that land. Many farmers I know would let folks hunt the property, but they should be given the respect of being asked first. Hunting their land is a privilege given to you by the farmer, so help them out. Ask if you can contribute to buy some bags of corn, seed or fertilizer. Ask about a hunting lease, and paying the hunting lease insurance costs. Earn the privilege of hunting the caretakers land.

This column is dedicated to the memory of Ralph and Cecile Evens, the heavenly caretakers of Windy Valley Farm.

Conservation

Conversations

Snow cover makes for an easy portage when hauling a guideboat into the ponds, early in the season.

To the gentleman’s credit, he realized the serious issues that were raised due to the nature of his request. In addition, he had the intestinal fortitude to contact me directly to discuss the matter, which proved to be an eye opening experience for both of us.

National survey of hunters and anglers My limited experience with discrimination, prompted me to consider whether anglers and hunters should be considered ‘minorities.

According to a recent National Survey, outdoorsmen and women tend to be Republican and conservative voters, who view conservation as important as gun rights.

They express support and concern about a number of conservation issues including access to public lands, global warming solutions, clean water protections and protecting our children’s future.

Although more than 75 percent of the nation’s population supports hunting, less than 7 percent of the population actually gets out in the field. The hunting population is heavily male (89 percent), white (only 6 percent of hunters declared themselves nonwhite) and educated, with 53 percent having attended college.

A recent US Fish and Wildlife Service survey, which is conducted every five years indicates the number of hunters and anglers age 16 and older rose from 33.9 million in 2006 to 37.4 million in 2011. Nationally, 33.1 million people fished while 13.7 million hunted. The national survey reaffirms that hunters and anglers are still a small portion of the overall population, about 6 percent nationally, about 38 million Americans hunt and fish annually.

According to the most recent survey, hunting is most popular among those aged 45 to 54 (3.1 million), closely followed by the next age group, 55-64 (2.8 million). Together, those two groups make up 43 percent of the U.S. hunting population. The heavy representation of older men does not bode well for hunting’s future. Hunters and anglers favor restoring Clean Water Act protections to wetlands and waterways in order to protect our health and important fish and wildlife habitat.

They also agree that children are not spending enough time outdoors. Which creates a problem and a threat to wildlife conservation in America. Unfortunately, more than two out of three sportsmen now live in metropolitan areas, where their children grow up less familiar with firearms, or fishing poles, and far removed from daily contact with field and stream. As a result, they are often uncomfortable with the pursuit of game as sport.

According to the survey, 47 percent believe that gun rights are important, but conservation is just as important.

Another 37 percent believe that gun rights are the most important issue facing sportsmen, while 13 percent believe that gun rights are not as important as conservation issues.

Hunters and anglers want public lands protected and they want access to public lands that to date have been inaccessible and they want the government to take their needs and desires into account when issuing oil and gas leases. Outdoor recreation in this country contributes $730 billion a year to the U.S. economy.

These hunters and anglers believe global warming is occurring and believe we have a moral responsibility to confront global warming to protect our children’s future.

They also believe that global warming is a cause of the recent hot temperatures we have experienced.

From the point of safety, it is important to note firearms are involved in less than 1 percent of all accidental fatalities. More Americans are killed in accidents involving vending machines than guns.

Charm’s Hands makes the move to a new Elizabethtown location

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Charm’s Hands in Elizabethtown has moved into a space its owner can now call her own on Water Street.

“I own the business and the building,” said salon owner Charmain “Charm” Fenoff. “Now I get to pay for my own retirement instead of someone else’s.”

Charm’s Hands had a soft opening at the new location on March 1 for tanning, massage, hair and nail services. Fenoff said a formal grand opening will be held at a later date.

Fenoff moves with cosmetologist Aimee Adams to the new location.

The two-story building has rooms for tanning, massage, a break room/kitchen, salon area and office spaces on the second floor.

Fenoff said as they settle into the new location, she hopes to expand the building to offer more tanning beds and another space for massage.

“Since we opened people have been coming in and tanning around the clock, hopefully in the future we can bring in more beds,” Fenoff said. “The building keeps on getting smaller the longer we are here and there is a lot I would like to do here.”

Under the previous owner, the building had

been pre-approved by the town for the construction of a five-space parking area. Fenoff said as soon as weather permits they will begin construction for that.

Since the beginning of her career, Fenoff said she has always ran her own business. She started out as a masseuse working at a salon in Keene 13 years ago after completing her degree in massage therapy from North Country Community

College in Saranac Lake. For the first year, she trained to become a cosmetologist and received her license.

After working out of a salon in Keene, she rented spaces in the Port Henry-Mineville area, Lewis and various other locations before settling her business in Elizabethtown.

“The bread and butter is people in the community and taking care of the locals, and I’ve

loved to do that,” Fenoff said. “We try when we can to keep our prices competitive with places like Plattsburgh for salon services and you will still save by staying local.”

The salon gift shop currently offers jewelry, It Works weight-loss products, hair styling equipment, nail polish and care products, locally made candles, and more.

“I really want to do a lot more with this place, in the future make it a place for people to hang out, maybe add a coffee shop,” said Fenoff. “We have the beautiful river behind the shop and it would be a shame not to have people hanging out on the front or back porch once the weather gets nicer.”

The former location on Williams Street had a full gym. Fenoff said though it was a nice addition to her salon, the gym never really took off.

The equipment has since been sold off with the exception of a few items such as fitness DVDs and a Horizon Elliptical.

“It was great to have the gym but when it came down to it more customers want a place to tan than the gym,” Fenoff said.

Charm’s is open normally from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment for hair, tanning, manicures and pedicures, and massage appointments. Appointments can be made by calling 524-6520.
