ELCS seeks merger study

EARS TO SPRING

ELIZABETHTOWN

WESTPORT

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School is looking for a dance partner when it comes to looking at a potential merger.

During the March 27 meeting of the ELCS Board of Education, Superintendent Scott Osborne asked for permission to speak with the surrounding school districts to look at getting together to draft a merger feasibility study.

"We have two districts to our south doing that," Osborne said. "They are looking at going in with another district on doing a feasibility study."

Osborne was referring to the current study being done by the Ticonderoga and Crown Point school districts.

"I want to just talk with the surrounding school districts and see what their thoughts were," he said. "This is very preliminary."

“All of the departments have been making presentations, and the board has been actively engaged in this process,” Superintendent Stephen Broadwell said.

Tree sale dates set WESTPORT — Essex County SWCD provides trees for purchase to complete conservation planting projects on Arbor Day. The Essex County Soil and Water Conservation District has provided trees for county residents to purchase to protect local natural resources. Trees and Shrubs have been purchased for wildlife habitat, windbreaks, living snow fence, and to protect water quality by preventing erosion and filtering nutrients around Lake Champlain.

In 2013 the District is offering many different riparian planting species to protect and restore stream bank areas from 2011 storm events. We are also offering Streamco willow

cuttings and wattles. Planting assistance will be provided.

Local residents have placed orders for the trees through a program that started in January. On April 19 those residents will be picking trees up from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Floral Hall at the Essex County Fairgrounds in Westport.

There will be a variety of Evergreen and Deciduous trees and shrubs available for purchase along with planting supplies and wild flower seeds.

There will be a limited supply of extra trees and shrubs for anyone that has not placed an order. Residents can call the office at 962-8225 for availability or stop on April 19 to see what is left. We hope to help you get ready for your Arbor Day Conservation Planting on April 26.

Three towns look at assessor options CFES hosts Hawaiian students

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Three towns that have been acting as one when it comes to assessments may now look to the county for services.

The towns of Westport, Willsboro and Elizabethtown have been working under a Coordinated Assessment Program (CAP), which allows the three towns to operate as one municipality when it comes to the hiring of an assessor.

“We have a sole assessor that works for all three towns and is considered and employee of Westport,” Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said during the March 18 Essex County Personnel Committee meeting. “The state considers us to be one town, not three.”

Westport Supervisor Dan Connell said that the three towns are looking at options to fill the position of the sole assessor for the trio of towns after the term of current Assessor David Galarneau runs out Oct. 1.

“We are looking at all of our options moving forward, and one of the options would be to contract with the county,” Connell said. “Our CAP is looking at two or three options on how we might do assessing over the next year, especially if we wanted to go on a trial basis with the county.”

Connell said that any commitment to the

county would begin as a one-year trial.

“The town board would have to vote to do this, and then we would have to come to the county to see if they would allow us to do that,” he said.

Real Property Tax Director Charlie Lewis said that any town could contract with the county for their assessor but would want to keep their power over the governance of the program.

“If you contract with the county, you would have to go to a sole appointed assessor in your town,” Lewis said. “Then I would appoint a county employee to be that sole assessor in your town. If you contract with us as a CAP town, then I can only appoint one assessor for those three towns, and that is a lot of work for that one person.”

North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said that keeping the town as the assessing entity would allow for local control over the final assessment roles.

“You still have a local board of assessment review that would have the final say,” Politi said.”

Lewis said that a contract with a town would cost $13 per assessed parcel, which would show a small revenue for the county.

“To hire one new person to take the responsibilities of this CAP town would show a revenue of $4,000, which I think would be eaten up by mileage and some overtime,” Lewis said.

and development meeting

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ESSEX — Students from Dole Middle School in Hawaii were the guests of College for Every Student (CFES) at its March 21 professional development dinner.

North Country Community College staff joined their peers from seven local high schools and Dole for the event, held at the new CFES office complex in Essex.

“The goal is to gather the schools and colleges together and provide a space for sharing best practices of each,” Tara Lambert, Vice President of Programs at CFES, said. “We want to be able to hear about the plans from the schools and work to create the strongest persistence programs in the North Country.”

“Every time we can have the opportunity to branch

The organization plans to continue to hold and expand their professional development services as their new facility is completed. The offices are located next to the Essex Inn in the hamlet of Essex, in the same building as the town’s Post Office.

CFES bought the building for the purpose of turning it into the hub, while also looking to rent portions to the USPS and other entities.

They help us generate ideas and brainstorm potential practices that we can then take and shift to make it fit in our school.”

“We are honored to be working with dream makers in the North Country, who take the CFES practices, and make them come to life in their schools everyday by creatively engaging CFES Scholars and getting them on the path to college,” CFES President Rick Dalton said.

ongratulations to the winners of the Doc Lopez Run for Hope race.

Jan Welford was the over all winner of the 13.1 mile course, with the time of 1 hour, 18 minutes and 46 seconds, followed by Colleen Porter, as the fastest woman's time of 1 hour, 46 minutes and 38 seconds. This was a great race, it raised over $2,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. They sure hope to see everyone out again next year.

It's getting a little busy at ELCS, now that school will be back in session after a nice spring break. The school board is looking for viable candidates to run for one, three-year term on the school board.

Please contact Lauri Cutting in the district office, between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or call 8736371, ext. 502. The deadline to submit a petition is Monday, April 22. It's good to get involved! There's a special budget workshop on Wednesday, April 17, at 5 p.m., followed by a regular school board meeting at 7 p.m. Come out, to find out, what's going on in school.

Now that Easter is over, Spring is right around the corner. I'm sure everyone is go-

ing to get busy prepping and planning the next few months for the summer. As you're cleaning out, keep the Elizabethtown Thrift Shop in mind, not one of those blue donations boxes you see here or in Lewis. The next collection day in Saturday, April 13, from 10 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at the UCC church. They are looking for men's, woman's and children's spring and summer clothes in good to excellent shape, along with clean undamaged household items and linens. They are always looking for new volunteers, if only for an hour or so a month. Their monthly meeting is this Monday, April 8, at 6 p.m. in the UCC church parish hall.

Please keep in mind, if you begin cleaning up outside, the E-town brush dump is closed, but there will soon be scheduled days for collection, I'll keep you posted.

Also, remember the DEC burn ban is on 'til Tuesday, May 14.

If you are interested in getting involved in community beautification this spring/summer, contact the Beautification Committee by emailing the address at the top of the column or call 873-9279.

ogwood Bread Company in Wadhams will host the third annual Sourdough Waffle and Frittata Extravaganza on Sunday, April 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. with proceeds to benefit the Wadhams Free Library. The mouth-watering menu includes sourdough waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, hearty frittatas with sausage, potatoes, onions, and cheddar cheese (vegetarian option available), fruit salad, and tempting desserts. This is always a really fun event for the whole family and it benefits a great cause. Suggested donation is $12 for adults and $6 for kids.

The following Wednesday, April 17, the Wadhams Free Library will continue its current Wednesdays in Wadhams lecture series with a poetry reading by Marion Brown and Margo Taft Stever. And on April 24 it’s “Early Spring at the Art Farm” with local artist, actor and cultural organizer Ted Cornell. Ted returns to the Library to talk about farming art at his Crooked Brook Studios in Wadhams, which if it’s not on the register of historic local attractions darn well ought to be. Both talks begin at 7:30 p.m. As always, they’re free and

open to the public and your questions will be welcome.

You’ve probably seen orange flags and new utility poles by the bridge in Wadhams. Luck Brothers, the Plattsburgh firm contracted by the DOT to replace the bridge in Wadhams, will start work soon.

The bridge replacement shouldn’t interfere with traffic through Wadhams, since they’ll be working on one lane at a time, with a light to control traffic. Friends of the Library will be happy to hear that access to Library parking won’t be affected either.

Work on the bridge will probably last through the summer.

During the month of April John Danyew will be teaching Mambo classes at the Westport Heritage House on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8:30 p.m. He plans to continue with classes as long as people keep coming and he is open to what the students want to learn. Do you have a particular kind of dance that you’re interested in learning? Drop him an email at john@ChamplainValleyDance.com or call 802-897-7500. This is a wonderful opportunity to work with a seasoned dance instructor.

Coming up this Saturday, April 6, at 7 p.m. in the E. Glitz Auditorium in Hawkins Hall on Plattsburgh State will be a chance to meet all the local World War II veterans who will be participating in this year ’s honor flights from the North County Honor Flight. I understand the tickets are going fast. Contact the organization by phone 834-9901 or online at northcountryhonorflight.org. for more information.

Finally, on the backyard front, I’ve inherited around 40 to 60 starlings and black birds who are consuming all the seeds I’m putting out. We’re trying to spread the wealth as we have our red squirrel and chipmunk back again as well as an assortment of wood doves, cardinals, blue jays and chickadees. My girlfriend was startled this week to a loud banging on our wooden fence as a large heron landed in our yard as well. A brief but spectacular visit.

t is hard to believe that we have used up a third of this new year along with several of our favorite holiday's, but no fooling we are now entering into the month of April and hopefully some nice spring weather. I do hope most of you had a great time with family and friends this Easter; I was able to celebrate with four generations of my family. This makes me truly know the joy of new life as I see my grandchildren take their place in the adult world. We also got to celebrate a first birthday with my great granddaughter, such a joy.

Hope you have your income taxes filed, the due date is only a few days away. The weather feels a little warmer, but those Polar Plungers still shows me how brave they are by pledgeing to go into the very cold Lake Champlain this Sunday, April 7, at 12.

All interested person's are invited to join them or go down to the boat house near the ferry landing and cheer them on. These volunteers do this to assist a great cause of the Planned Parenthood programs in Essex County.

Those interested in Yoga sessions are reminded that they will meet at the Willsboro United Methodist Church basement

area on April 1, 8, and 15 starting at 5:15 p.m. A big reminder the Willsboro Methodist Church is starting their monthly public suppers this Wed. April 3 and will hold them the first Wednesday of each month until Nov. So make your calendar and join us.

There will be an AARP Driver Safety Program on May 7 and 8 down at the Essex Community Church with George Cantin as the Instructor. If interested contact Peggy Hunn at 963 4445 to register, I believe there is a class size limit so call soon.

Many of our treasure sites around the community will soon be looking for some volunteers that are willing to give at least one or two three hour shifts to keep these sites open to the public, they include the Visitor's Center, Museum, Adsit Cabin, beautification committee that do the flower barell's around town. This is a great community and we truly would appreciate your assistance, call Janice Allen at 9638912 to explore where you would best fit in to help.

KEESEVILLE ad a great informative chat with our village Mayor, Dale Holderman. There is a lot of growth on Front Street. The Davidson apartments are mostly open and six of the seven are already occupied. Both a Sandwich shop and Little Italy will be opening up on the street as well. A new tenant is going in where Arbo Army and Navy use to be. St Joe’s will be using the entire space for a offices for providing counseling services for veterans. The redemption center has moved over to Pine Street. All the old scraggly trees in Jaycee Park have been cut down.

Next up a second soccer field will be set up as well as a walking trail which will double as a cross country skiing trail in the winter. Wonderful to see so much going on in Keeseville. I appreciate the hard work and very exciting news.

would like you to know about a dance coming up this Friday evening, April 5, at the Whallonsburg Grange. At 7:30 p.m. there will be professional instruction, with the actual dancing going from 8 to 10 p.m.

There will be ballroom dances, Latin dances, and nightclub dances which includes the Lindy Hop, the nightclub twostep and the hustle. This event is sponsored by the Grange and Champlain Valley Dance and is presented free of charge. It’s doubtful taxi dancers will be on hand, so you might want to bring a partner. Taxi dancers are paid to dance with partnerless people and today are most commonly found on cruise ships. They’re called taxis for short, because like taxi drivers, the longer they dance or drive, the more they earn. You will not be expected to dance on high heels, like the stars, but then you probably don’t want to develop a bad back.

On the other hand, please leave your mud boots at home, even though they’re probably your favorite footwear right about now.

NORTHCOUNTRYSPCA id you know that our new Frances Miller Adoption Center was paid for entirely by over 1,000 generous donors? The NCSPCA received no funds for the capital campaign from local or state or federal governments.

In addition, the shelter received no funds from the ASPCA. Our dream of a new shelter has come true thanks to extraordinary support from residents in Essex County and many donors from throughout the United States. We are very grateful to all the members of our community whose fundraising efforts and donations led to the realization of this dream. Our many happy furry friends have been wagging tails and purring non-stop since we made the move!

Our featured pet this week is Storm, a Siberian Husky-mix who is into his senior years but has a real zest for life. He has the striking markings typical for his breed, luxurious thick fur, and deep brown eyes that are full of fun. He loves to go for long walks and literally prances along, keeping up with all of the youngsters he encounters. He enjoys playing with both people

y recent trip around the southern U.S. and to California was planned to avoid the dreariest time of year in Reber; Amy tells me it’s been especially cloudy and muddy. Out of town visitors to our house don’t understand how we can live in such a remote place, far from fancy coffee shops, but clearly they’ve never roamed around west Texas. It’s a landscape devoid of trees, just lots of scrubby low mesquite and nearly flat with occasional rises that let you see the road many miles ahead as it disappears, shimmering with mirages, straight over the horizon. This is ranching country, although it’s hard to see anything for cattle to subsist on. Yet they’re out there, mostly gathered around wind mills that pump water into large troughs. You never see a house or barn, although where dusty side roads meet the paved road there will be clusters of four or five mailboxes. By comparison, Reber is quite cosmopolitan.

Food pantry in need of donations Essex County state health ratings

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — One of the main food pantries in Essex County is facing a shortage of food and looking for help from the community.

The food pantry at Adirondack Comm u n i t y A c t i o n P ro g r a m s i n E l i z a b e t h town has recently had to turn away referrals to their food pantry due to lack of supplies.

"This is the first time since I have been here that the pantry has been practically empty,"" ACAP Executive Director Alan Jones said. "We usually get some funding from FEMA, but that source has dried up and we did not get anything in the last round."

"People have been coming in," pantry coordinator Cindy Cobb said. "We have seen an increase in the numbers coming in. We had one visit where they asked for what was just enough to fill the gap."

"We have had several new people who we have never seen before asking for the assistance of the pantry," Jones said.

J o n e s s a i d t h a t t h e A C A P p a n t r y re -

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County has again climbed the rankings of healthiest counties in the state of New York.

According to the County Health Rankings are conducted through a study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, Essex County ranks as the 16th healthiest in the state.

“Everyone has a stake in creating healthier communities,” Public Health Director Linda Beers said. “By working together and collaborating, we can have a much greater impact strengthening communities than any single sector working alone.”

Beers said that everyone in the department was is pleased that Essex County has risen in the overall rankings in the fourth year of findings.

“Like health departments across New York state, ECPH conducts regular community health assessments to monitor community

health, identify priorities, and mobilize communities for action to address areas of concern,” Jessica Darney Buehler said.

The Rankings show how much our quality of life and health outcomes are linked to factors such as our social and economic conditions, environment, health behaviors, and access to clinical care.

In a breakdown of factors, Essex County was 14th in mortality rankings and 16th in morbidity, 16th in health behaviors. The county’s highest rankings came in physical environment factors (second), while its lowest came in social and economic factors (32nd) and clinical care (37th).

Only Warren County (12th) ranked higher than Essex locally, which was followed by Clinton (26th), Franklin (36th), Washington (42nd), St. Lawrence (57th) and Hamilton (58th).

Rough road video a winner

T

own of Newcomb officials are cautiously optimistic that their attempt to shame New York state into fixing Route 28N earlier than planned has succeeded in getting the Department of Transportation’s attention.

And we are, too.

A day after Newcomb Planning Board member Paul Hai released a YouTube video highlighting the poor condition of Route 28N on Thursday, March 28, DOT Director of Communications Beau Duffy released an official statement: “Route 28N is a critical part of the North Country’s infrastructure that is in need of repair. Ensuring that the road is well maintained is critically important to our efforts to increase tourism to the area and showcase the jewel that is the Adirondack Park. More importantly, however, local residents simply should not have to put up with substandard and potentially dangerous road conditions.

At the direction of Governor Cuomo and Commissioner McDonald, repairs to 28N will take place on an expedited basis, commencing in the coming weeks.”

Wow. The little town of Newcomb — population 436 in the most remote section of the state — stood up to the goliaths in Albany and won.

Newcomb Town Supervisor George Canon was supposed to meet with DOT officials in May about repairing State Route 28N. But after the video was released in the media — on the Facebook page of the News Enterprise, the Times Union’s Capital Confidential blog, and other websites — Canon received a phone call from the DOT to expedite the meeting, which took place Tuesday afternoon, April 2, at Canon’s office.

DOT Region 1 (Capital District) Acting Regional Director Sam Zhou had to drive on Route 28N to get to the Newcomb Town Hall. We hope he also drove to Long Lake, where the worst section is located.

Newcomb officials initiated a letterwriting campaign but received a reply that was less than helpful: “Only 1.5 miles of Route 28N meet the criteria for a major rehab project.”

That prompted a response from Paul Hai in the video: “Which 1.5 miles do you suppose it is?”

After all, the DOT has signs on Route

28N stating “Rough Road” for 13 miles.

So is it 1.5 miles or 13 miles?

The letter-writing campaign wasn’t enough to move the DOT into fixing Route 28N, which hasn’t been reconstructed since 1979 (gas prices at 90 cents/gallon).

But one quirky, clever and direct video — with 6:42 minutes of interviews, information and slapstick — won the day, thanks to attention from traditional and social media.

We think Newcomb framed the argument correctly. Hai interviewed motorists in Long Lake, highway officials, and the town supervisors in Newcomb and Long Lake. Aside from the obvious safety issues and damage to vehicles, Hai reminded viewers that the state of New York is spending millions of dollars buying 69,000 acres of former Finch, Pruyn land to add it to the Forest Preserve. And much of that land — particularly around the Boreas Ponds — is located in Newcomb.

In the video, Long Lake Supervisor Clark Seaman said people may not return to Newcomb once seeing the newly acquired lands. Canon said people may just stay away completely.

“There’s other places to go,” Canon said. “And if you’ve got a choice, you’re not going to bang your car all to pieces, so I’m hoping that the governor understands that this is a big deal for us.”

We do, too.

Newcomb is on the front lines of the Forest Preserve experiment in the Adirondack Park. Residents have been promised publicly — by Gov. Andrew Cuomo — that the Finch, Pruyn land deal will help the local economy.

Supervisors from five towns — Long Lake, Newcomb, North Hudson, Minerva and Indian Lake — have been meeting with state officials to figure out how the towns can benefit from those purchases.

State leaders need to realize that they can’t just buy chunks of land and expect tourists to easily flock to these remote corners of the Park; the purchase comes with an obligation to assure access.

And access means a complete reconstruction of State Route 28N. Talk is cheap. What Newcomb needs is action.

And they need it now.

The price of free speech

T

his country, once called the melting pot of the world, was known for taking in immigrants from all corners of the Earth and merging their cultures into ours to create a patchwork democracy. Melting pot is a term you don’t hear used much anymore, but more than any other nation, the term still applies to the U.S. today.

Sadly, it didn’t happen overnight, but over a period of time through strife and turmoil America grew to be known as the land of opportunity where freedom reined and personal beliefs were to be respected.

Anyone had a shot to make it if they had fearless perseverance, conviction of beliefs and a willingness to work hard. Throughout our history, we’ve many examples of individuals that changed the course of the nation as a result of their willingness to stand up and be counted, many times going against popular opinion.

One would think that we would have learned from mistakes of the past. One would hope that only through constructive and open discussion of the issues, we could as a nation address the issues of the day in a manner that intelligently seeks to resolve any differences and reach a common ground.

Today’s hot button topics are many: immigration, gun control, same sex marriage, health care, war, religion, energy, the economy, women’s rights, education, environment, unions and big business. But there are many more.

It would be nice to think in this great communication age that tolerance and respect for the right to express one’s personal views would be paramount. But instead of encouraging open debate and discussion, we’ve continued down a prejudicial path.

When all else fails, we resort to demonizing the messenger. I can understand a certain amount of trash talk among friends discussing sports, truck brands or burger choices, but on important issues in our nation’s most prestigious schools I would hope those institutions would be open minded and inquisitive.

Dr. Benjamin Carson, a pediatric neurosurgeon who came into the national spotlight in February after criticizing health care and other policies of President Barack Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast, has been asked to step down as the com-

mencement speaker at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine only after making recent comments on Dan Alexander same sex marThoughts from riage.

Behind the Pressline His comments were based on his personal beliefs. Carson stated, “My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality — it doesn’t matter what they are — they don’t get to change the definition.”

One of the petitions stated: “We retain the highest respect for Dr. Carson’s achievements and value his right to publicly voice political views. Nevertheless, we feel that these expressed values are incongruous with the values of Johns Hopkins and deeply offensive to a large proportion of our student body.”

In his public apology in the Baltimore Sun, Carson stated, “First of all, I certainly believe gay people should have all the rights that anybody else has. What I was basically saying is that as far as marriage is concerned, that has traditionally been between a man and a woman and nobody should be able to change that.”

With respect to the commencement, he said, “I would say this is their day, and the last thing I would want to do is rain on their parade.”

As a nation we must be open to tolerance and trying to understand both sides of the issues to reach a compromise. Each side of every issue has valid arguments, but if neither side is willing to acknowledge and address those arguments, we will only prolong the anguish, anger and divisiveness these issues create in our democratic society. The world will always be full of people with different views. As a human race, we apparently still have a long way to go in learning how to constructively deal with our differences and provide true freedom of speech.

Rural Schools can Deliver Quality Education Response to letter To the Valley News: I respond to Monique Weston of Keene, whose letter to the editor in the March 30 edition of the Valley News generally supports the SAFE ACT. I would suggest that although the SAFE ACT does contain some good requirements regarding harsher provisions for armed criminals, and on those merits does not justify “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”, the strongest reason for repeal of the SAFE ACT is on the principle that due process was not followed in its passage.

Any law, popular or not, justified or not, must not be allowed to stand when the democratic process is ignored and the law is passed without a thorough discussion of its merits and/or shortcomings. It is a very dangerous precedent to have been set if the SAFE ACT is not repealed and replaced with a law that has been enacted after due process.

Gov. Cuomo’s emotional remarks before passage of the SAFE ACT, about no one needing “10 bullets to kill a deer,” and “no one uses ‘assault rifles’ for hunting,” show that he has no idea what gun ownership is about. The Second Amendment was not written for hunting.

It was not written even for defense of person, family, and personal property. These are secondary to the overarching purpose of guaranteeing that the people would have the right to secure their freedom from the unjust oppression of a tyrannical government.

Are “military style” weapons not covered under the Second Amendment? A look at the historical events which led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution will shed light on this. Remember that the Colonists before the Revolutionary War were British subjects. Their own government used its military forces to invade people’s homes, confiscate firearms and other goods and plunder, abuse the human rights of the Colonists, and enforce unfair taxation. The Colonists formed militias and rose up in rebellion against their government with their own weapons, which in that day were single shot muzzle loading weapons. But the British armed forces were equipped with the same weapons. The weapons technology was the same on both sides of the battlefield! I repeat, the weapons technology was the same on both sides of the battlefield. It must remain so today.

On the topic of whether the Second Amendment applies to the right to keep and bear “any weapons whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose,” I would agree that there are some limitations, but those limitations are established by the words “keep and bear,” in the Second Amendment. Those words mean “own and carry.” One cannot carry a tank, for example. Therefore one may not own a tank.

The non-specific nature of the Second Amendment is its beauty and power to last down through the ages. It guarantees that the people must be allowed to own and carry weapons at least equal to those of the government’s armed forces. Why? Because when well trained as a militia, the people, having equal firepower, may have a fair chance to be successful in rising up against the armed forces of an unjust government, and by doing so, secure once again the right to live in a free state.

I pray it will never be necessary, but if we allow our politicians to continue playing fast and loose with our Constitution and abuse due process of law, another Revolutionary War may be inevitable. It is a true saying that if we don’t learn from history we are bound to repeat it.

The Bridge to Nowhere To the Valley News: Reading Mr. Merrihew’s letter of March 16, it seemed he must imagine the people of Elizabethtown have forgotten that this $400,000 bridge on Otis Lane, was planned and commissioned during HIS administration. The need for this bridge whether built to accommodate emergency vehicles or as some have maintained, logging trucks, was in itself controversial. In this morass of past time, one thing at least seems clear, without a new bridge there would have been no need for a new road leading to it. Mr. Merrihew in his present retirement from office might therefore remind himself of this fact before blaming others for the costs this project imposed on the hardworking people of Essex County.

olumbia University is one of the most exclusive Ivy League schools in America. It was initiated by the English King, King George II in 1754. Columbia University is the oldest university in New York State and is a prominent feature of New York City.

Columbia has been the academic alma mater of many notable Americans. These famous alumni include, Alexander Hamilton, John jay, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Barack Obama, George Pataki, Alan Greenspan, Caroline Kennedy and Amelia Earhart to name just a few of Columbia’s notable students. This list does not include the very long list of Nobel Prize winners. In addition to the notable and accomplished students Columbia has also attracted some of the greatest minds on the planet who have served as professors. By its own reckoning, Columbia rejects just over 91 percent of the students that make application to the university.

Given the highly exclusive school that Columbia is, how

Kids Count

By Scot Hurlburt

does a kid does from a small rural community and a small rural school gain entrance into the hallowed halls of Columbia? I have been pondering this question since last Thursday when I learned that my daughter had been accepted at Columbia University Graduate School. Earlier in the week she received an acceptance letter from NYU but it did not inspire the reaction the Columbia acceptance letter provoked.

While she was growing up I sometimes wondered if she was experiencing a quality education given our rural, geographic location. While in high school my daughter’s grades were pretty good but it wasn’t until she went to college that she really applied herself academically, a scenario that is familiar to many rural students. This may be, to some ex-

Valley News - CV - 7 tent, a late bloomer effect that may be a byproduct of a somewhat narrower educational experience. I believe that students from small rural schools can compete at the highest levels as evidenced by my daughters experience and the experience of many others from area rural schools. In fact a significant number of my daughters’ classmates and peers have gone to attend prestigious universities and have been successful in establishing themselves in high demand careers.

I believe that the earliest years of education are the important foundation upon which future academic ventures will be experienced. These important formative years will have provided those essential tools for learning and ultimately to compete successfully with the best students in America and the larger world.

I know that many of these rural students will have had additional challenges in many instances.

My wife and I both attended public colleges and could offer no advantage in gaining admission to an elite college such as is the case with legacy admissions that are largely guaranteed to some students. These students may have had a parent or other relative who also attended the prestigious college that they seek to attend. Ivy League colleges are also very expensive when compared to public colleges and

serve as a formidable obstacle that must be surmounted even if a student is accepted for attendance.

I believe that my daughter will be successful at graduate school in part because she got a good education in elementary school and high school. I also believe that she will be successful because she was expected to do well by her parents and her teachers and she was compelled to work to that end. Though she gave great protests at times she was compelled to work at home as well. She stacked wood, mowed grass, cleaned the house and many other chores. When she was old enough, she worked at a variety of jobs outside the home. These experiences were just as important as her school experiences in facilitating her academic success. If you are born a genius then you are very lucky indeed. For most of us, hard work determination and high aspirations will compel us to our eventual destination.

Along the way my daughter was lucky enough to have many very good teachers who helped her along in so many important ways. I know that many of them reading this column should feel very proud right along with her very proud patents.

Remember all kids count.

Health center expansion Continued from page 1 The new space will include a comfortable waiting room, seven exam rooms, office space for physicians, a private registration area, nurses’ work station, lab area, procedure room, and patient consultation room.

Once the expansion is complete, staff and equipment will move into the new space.

Phase two of the project includes renovation of the existing 2,000 square foot building. It will be renovated to include a conference room, staff meeting space, storage and office space.

“The health center is currently located in a building that no longer provides adequate space for patients’, physician or staff needs,” said Matt Nolan, chief operating officer at ECH. “Physicians and support staff are currently working in cramped spaces, there are a limited number of exam rooms, privacy needs to be enhanced and there is virtually no storage space for supplies.”

Nolan explained that the hospital has been working with its architectural design firm for well over a year to ensure that all requirements are incorporated.

“The appearance of the existing building will not be changed; and its stonework and character will be reflected in the new construction. We are proud to be able to meld the health center ’s needs with the appearance of the existing building,” he said.

The expansion and renovation includes developing more appropriate space for the building’s heating, cooling and telecommunications infrastructure.

“The requirements for the facility’s mechanical and communications systems have increased over the years with the inclusion

According to Community Relations Director Jane Hooper, the hospital operates health centers throughout Essex County.

“The hospital’s vision is to offer primary healthcare services through a network of community-based health centers,” Hooper said. “This allows for continuity of care between the health centers and the main hospital facility.”

Upgrades to these health centers allow ECH staff to provide services in a comfortable setting, for both patients and staff.

“It’s important for residents of, and visitors to, the region to be able to receive quality healthcare close to their home communities. Ensuring that the health centers are modernized makes it much easier for community members to access their primary care services,” Hooper said.

"The numbers are much more real now," board member Karen Hooper said. "You can do it when there is money or when there is not. I would like to drive the conversation."

Osborne said that the financial future of state funding and the continuing need to use fund balance in order to balance their budget was a driving factor in reaching out to other districts.

Board in class Continued from page 1 “I have to commend them for getting into the school and wanting to see the students, faculty and staff, and they are finding this very enlightening.”

“We have spent a day in the school going to the classes and being with students in gym and at lunch,” School Board President Craig Jackson said. “If we are going to be making decisions that are going to be for the benefit of the school district, it will help us to spend a day in their shoes.”

Along with spending a day in the school, the time spent at the beginning of each School Board meeting allows members of the

The hospital and health center currently have the ability to connect with each other through high definition telemedicine units, allowing physicians and nurses to consult with one another. The increase in space will ensure that the telemedicine unit has a dedicated space, so that consultations can take place more easily.

Nolan explained that patients won’t notice a disruption in care.

“We expect a very smooth transition,” he said. “Patients will be able to meet with their primary care provider throughout the construction process. Once construction is complete, patients will notice a significant enhancement to the services offered. The lab area and procedure room will allow many patients to obtain these additional services at one convenient location.”

The hospital owns four community-based health centers, located in Westport, Willsboro, Wilmington and Elizabethtown. Construction should be complete in November.

"Education is not going to look the same at ElizabethtownLewis next year, and it will look even more different in 2015-16," Osborne said. "We need to drive our own bus and get out in front of this."

Osborne also said that the current sharing of services between different districts also could help lead to a merger study.

“It is nice to get a snapshot of what goes on in the classroom,” board member Jon Steeves said.

“We get to see them in their classrooms and see what they are using in their teaching,” board member Bruce Hale said.

“We wanted to experience what they do so we can help manage the school better,” board member Phylis Klein said. “I think that they know that we are very supportive because we try to keep in constant communication with them, and that is the key to any good relationship.”

Osborne added that he felt that the discussion about mergers between districts needed to change.

"Many people view this urgent matter as a territorial piece. We don't want to be a bear; we want to keep our name," he said. "But I think that the most important piece is that I am not so sure that we are going to be able to provide the amount of education programming that we can today."

the teachers are seeing with the new curriculum,” board member Don Hollingsworth said.

For the teachers, the chance to visit with members of the School Board is something they appreciate.

“I think it is fantastic,” Flynn said. “Our School Board is very involved and very concerned with the students, and they show their interest in that by being here during school days and meeting with departments and teachers.”

“I like the idea that they have the chance to keep connected with what is really happening in the classroom,” teacher Marge Jaquish said.

ELCS officials work to trim spending plan

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School District received some good news with the passage of the New York state budget, but could have used more.

Superintendent Scott Osborne told members of the School Board and public March 27 that an increase in state aid had cut their previous deficit estimate in half, but the district was still looking for ways to cut $302,914 in the 2013-14 spending plan.

"State aid allocations were given out, and we now have an updated picture and a much more sharper picture," Osborne said. "The gap is half of what it was before, but it is still a significant gap for a small school such as ours."

Osborne proposed to the board $300,400 in cuts, with $157,900 in reductions that could be made without reducing employment, which included several staffing positions that would be eliminated through attrition and

cuts to office materials and other items.

One issue that raised eyebrows was the elimination of $5,000 for field trips, which would allow no school funding for ventures outside the school.

Even Osborne said that there was some gray area as to what was and was not a field trip.

"I want to look at Harvard Model UN because it is such a deep curriculum trend and you could say that it is not a field trip, but it is," Osborne said. "It can go back and forth. Sometimes sending our students to competitions does not just mean sporting events."

"I get the field trips but I just wrote yuck on my paper because I don't like it, but it is a number that is high enough that we have to look at," board member Karen Hooper said.

"If we could find sponsorships or for field trips to send the kids out I think we would allow them to go then," board member Karin DeMuro said.

Osborne also presented

40637

$142,500 in cuts that would affect staffing, resulting in the loss of 3.17 positions.

The cuts would result in a two-member reduction in staff, with one coming through attrition. Osborne said that position, which was in the elementary, would not be re-hired as the school would try a new approach with its sixth-grade class.

"We are looking at putting them on the bell rotation and making them a true part of the middle school," Osborne said. "Instead of having one dedicated teacher to sixth grade, they would be taught by several teachers and our middle/high school schedule would now be for students in grades 6-12 instead of starting at seventh grade."

Along with cuts, Osborne said that he and finance officer Cindy Moody had allocated $500,000 in fund balance to help cut into the gap.

"It is unfortunate that as a public school we have to take that much out of our reserves to pay for this budget," Osborne said. "Even thought the numbers have changed, that is still a very significant chunk for us."

Osborne said that if significant fund balance usage was needed, the school would be looking at using more fund balance than left in the account within two school years.

"I was prepared to come before this board and say that I found this much money and yet we are only halfway there," he said. "Luckily, we got some good news with the

latest numbers. However, looking at our futures chart, the situation is grim. Around the 14-15, 15-16 school year, the board will have to have great discussions on how we are going to fund our schools."

Osborne said that he felt the cuts were made equally across different programs and departments.

"I can't find any positives to cutting our funding to our students’ education by $300,000, but if there is one positive it is that we did not single out one group," he said.

Under the current state aid runs, ELCS will receive $180,000 in a Small Government Assistance program and $3,429,241 in state aid, an increase of $236,357 from their previous budget run.

The district can raise $3,473,974 in the property tax levy, which is a 4 percent increase from 2012-13, the maximum allowed by the New York state tax levy cap for the school.

The next budget meeting will take place Wednesday, April 17 at 5 p.m.

"I will have forecast number three at that meeting," Osborne said. "As of right now, everything is prospective. Really, no final decisions are made until the vote in May."

Willsboro hopes state will lighten load

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — Willsboro Central School plans on using up to $612,348 in fund balance to help keep the 2013-14 budget under the state’s cap, but is hoping they will receive some added aid from Albany.

“I think that we have a good budget here at this point that we can present to our voters,” Superintende n t S t e p h e n B ro a d w e l l s a i d . “ We w i l l re d u c e t h e amount of fund balance that we are using if we get more in state aid so we can keep a little more money in our reserve accounts for when it is needed.”

Broadwell said the district’s tax levy cap number came out at 3.3 percent, which allows the budget’s tax levy to be raised to $4,920,645, up $158,457 from the 2012-13 levy total of $4,762,188.

“We are going to be right in the middle of the area schools when it comes to tax levy increases,” Broadwell said. “I always tell people that we are better off than a lot of other school districts, and our goal is to stay where we are at and keep what we have for as long as we can do that.”

Broadwell said the district’s spending plan was set to go up .99 percent, from $7,894,867 for the 2012-13 b u d g e t t o $ 7 , 9 7 2 , 7 6 7 f o r 2 0 1 3 - 1 4 ( a n i n c re a s e o f $77,900).

C u r re n t l y, t h e d i s t r i c t i s p l a n n i n g t o re c e i v e $2,102,156 in state aid, but Broadwell believes that those numbers will increase with the recently passed New York state budget.

Either way, Broadwell said the district will not ask voters to approve a budget that exceeds the tax levy cap.

“We want to keep our levy at the cap,” he said. “I have not heard of too many districts in the state that are going to be looking to exceed the tax cap.”

Broadwell said that the final budget workshop is planned for the Tuesday, April 9, meeting of the board.

“I should have all of the definite numbers by then,” he said.

School budget votes take place Tuesday, May 21.

A warm heart for cold weather

n recent weeks, I’ve been seeing a lot of sign of animals on the move. A vixen red fox has established a den in our back yard, much to the consternation of our German Shorthaired Pointer who can’t seem to mark his territory fast enough.

I swear he has lost 20 pounds in water weight in just the past week, and every morning he repeats the ritual. The fox leaves a slightly skunk smelling scent, and her straight-in-a-line paw prints have provided ample evidence of her evening hunts. So too do the scattered turkey feathers, from her most recent kill in the side yard.

Obviously, the poor lonely mother didn’t have a chance to return to her kill for scraps before an “unpleasant of ravens” descended upon the carcass to scavenge the turkey down to nothing more than feet, bones and a beak.

The slow transition from winter to spring is finally beginning to accelerate. Last weekend, the Harley riders were out with the throaty roar of their bikes echoing off the hills.

Surprisingly, there were also a few packs of bicyclists daring to travel the sandy edges of the busy local highways.

It appears spring puts everyone and everything on the move. Canada geese can be already be found on the Lake Flower in Saranac Lake, and bald eagles are regularly observed up and down the shores of Lake Champlain.

Birders are busy, counting off the growing flux of daily arrivals, whether it is a red winged blackbird in the marsh or a loon sighting on the ponds.

While on a quick jaunt into camp over the weekend, there were plenty of deer trails in the meager snow cover, as well as evidence of a fair share of fisher wanderings. Down by the stream, an otter slide appeared well used, and ducks had been on the open waters for well over a week.

The sweet scent of maple steam has been on the air for weeks, and it recently led me to stumble upon the latest maple concoction, a sweet nip of maple whiskey. I can’t say it is something I could drink a lot of, but it did serve a purpose as winter weather returned to produce another chilly spring day. The whiskey may not have warmed me up, but after a few nips, I kind of forgot about the foul weather.

An April fool I knew it was too good to be true, but like a little kid listening for sleigh bells on Christmas Eve; I wanted to believe.

I was sure it would happen again.

Two years ago, most Adirondack ponds had shed their icy hardtop by April 8. Then, in 2012, I enjoyed a leisurely troll around my favorite backwoods trout pond on April 1.

But like Lucy pulling the football away before poor old Charlie Brown could kick it, spring had failed to be sprung, and on April 1, there remained a 14-inch thick barrier of solid ice on the same ponds. I was again an April fool, albeit one with great hopes and high expectations. In the past few weeks, my dreams of being on the ponds for opening day had quietly dried up, even though the attendant snowpack had not diminished much.

I had gone through all of the usual motions. I strung up

Tiger trout, a unique hybrid of a brook trout and a brown trout, are a very rare find in the wild. However, the strange mix is commonly stocked in ponds and reservoirs in the Catskills., where they can grow to 5-6 pounds or more. Distinguished by their odd looking, worm-like vermiculations, tigers are known as voracious preditors. In recent years, there have been several naturally spawned specimens of the tiger trout taken on the Chubb River near Lake Placid. The fish in this photo is on display at The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, where many native Adirondack fish species reside inside a huge aquarium. new line on all my spinning reels, cleaned the bearings and the gears, and oiled them to perfection.

The rods, which I had so carelessly stacked in the back of the garage last fall in a mad dash to transition from fishing season to hunting season, were delicately untangled.

I checked them for hairline cracks, and I carefully ran my fingers over each guide to assure a smooth surface, with no nicks or burrs to fray my lines.

I replaced the hooks on most of my lures, and changed all of the stock treble hooks with new, red colored, offset trebles. I even took the time to burnish the spoons with fine grit emery cloth and steel wool. It’s amazing how good they look with no rust, crud or dried weeds.

After sorting through a big pile of spoons and wabblers, I used some steel wool to polish the old wabblers, Hinkleys and Suttons into a big pile of shiny bright tackle. I even tried spraying a few of the brass and copper finished spoons with a clear acrylic finish.

Of course, I also left a good bit of the pile in the original condition. Fourteen inches of ice is not going to disappear overnight. What’s the rush?

My old pile of maps and charts of the ponds and lakes has gradually diminished to a select few favorites that I still take along, despite the addition of a portable depth finder that now provides me with a more accurate indication of the depths and lake contours.

But old habits die hard. I’ll always keep a few the old, hand-drawn maps that were scribbled on a napkin, or a piece of a brown paper bag.

They are relics from the old days, when I was the youngster on the annual fishing trip, and I keep ‘em in the tackle box just to keep me fresh, to help restore the my enthusiasm for the process of preparing to get out.

It’s a process I’ll repeat several times, well before I even get to wet a line. I’ll sort through the fly boxes, respool some reels with sinking flylines, and generally waste a lot of time that could be put to better use. But, there’s nothing more enjoyable than just puttering about while waiting to get out, and it is a ritual I’ll continue to pursue until the moment there are actually some fish to fill my time.

As always, the rivers and streams will take a while to warm up, and a lucky few anglers will hit the jackpot with a couple of battered old battle veteran holdover trout. The picking will be slim until water temperatures on the streams gets up into the 50-degree range.

The best bets will be found in deeper holding pools, where turbulent conditions pump warm air into the current, at the base of waterfalls, dams or serious rapids.

Anglers must fish slow and delicate, as trout will not be aggressively chasing food. It will have to bump them in the nose.

I’ll be interested to hear of any further reports of tiger trout caught in local waters. The odd hybrid is the result of a mixed breeding between brown trout and brook trout, and it usually occurs in waters that hold healthy, naturally spawned populations of each species.

It appears the Chubb River, which tumbles out of the High Peaks to flow through the middle of Lake Placid village. It is one of the most productive tiger trout waters in the region.

However, I’ve also received reports of tigers taken on the Little Salmon River and the St. Regis River. They are an odd looking specimen, and the only fish I ever saw was taken on the upper Chubb by a young angler who claimed he had caught “a striped fish, like a perch but it's much prettier.”

At the time, I was aghast to think that a perch had somehow managed to depart Mirror Lake, which connects to the Chubb River below the old Mill Dam. Fortunately, the perch turned out to be a wild spawned, native tiger trout.

I've had a few unpleasant surprises over the years while fishing for trout, and fortunately that episode was one that turned out to be quite the opposite of what it first appeared.

armers have been blamed for much of the nutrient loading going into Lake Champlain. They have taken it on the chin numerous times for being polluters. Sometimes they deserved it; most times not.

The reality is that all of us contribute in one way or another. Fishermen trample banks, loggers cross streams, and sedBy Rich Redman iment washes off roads and parking lots from the grit spread to control ice. And, of course, people toss waste over the banks because they don’t want to go to the dump.

Nutrient runoff comes from many sources, not just farmland. Farmers, however, are doing something special to help curb the problems.

Cows in streams are a natural thing, like deer drinking out of a brook. The problem is when you get 100 of them there for an extended period of time. That’s a different story. Stream banks get pounded by hooves, erosion takes place, and the manure is spread in the brook, not on the pasture where it should be. Sediment and nutrients then enter the waterway. There is a simple fix: fencing and planting vegetative buffers.

Planting riparian buffers along stream banks is one of my passions, and I truly believe they are one of the easiest, most cost effective and ecologically sensible things a farm can do to alleviate the problem.

Riparian buffers are strips of trees and bushes planted parallel to the stream with a width of 35 feet or more. The vegetation traps sediment, absorbs nutrients and provides stability to the stream banks due to the root systems of the plants. The goal is to trap the runoff and nutrients before they enter the stream.

As a guy who likes to walk streams and fly fish, one thing I love to see are lots of willows growing along streams. Willow shrubs are low growing, provide shelter for fish by overhanging the banks, have tremendous root systems to stabilize the banks and it’s a great place for terrestrial bugs, worms and other critters to live. If the buffer is managed, so the vegetation is kept in a brushy state and not overgrown with shade trees, it will also make great woodcock habitat. Buffers are also home to a variety of birds, amphibians and reptiles.

Plan ahead before you plant. Think about the habitat you want to create, such as brush and grass, early successional or mature woods. What you plant and your willingness to manage will make a difference.

Conservation is not just about stopping nutrients from getting to Lake Champlain; it’s putting all the ecological and economic pieces in place to make it work for the landowner, wildlife and the stream inhabitants. Not only is it good for the stream and lake, it must be easy on the landowner ’s wallet. Conservation needs to be low cost and high in benefits.

Many farmers in the Champlain Valley have installed buffers along their stream banks. The Leerkes Farm in Ticonderoga planted trees and shrubbery a few years ago to protect the banks of their previously pastured stream.

Shaun Gilliland in Willsboro will be planting a variety of fruit trees, berry bushes and other plants. This will provide an alternative income in the future by selling the products like jam to supplement his beef operation. The rooted vegetation will provide stream protection, and the waste fruit will provide excellent food for bugs and worms, and yes, they both feed fish.

The Leerkes and Gillilands are Essex County Farm Bureau members, and they lead by example. These guys realize the economics of this area depends on farms, forestry and recreation like fishing and hunting. Managed habitat supports greater populations of stream life, farm and forest wildlife. What these farmers are doing is a great value to all of us, not just Lake Champlain.

Although there have been incidents where farm runoff has hurt fisheries, they are few and far between. Most streams may actually benefit from some nutrients, but that’s another story.

One simple trick all of us “streamwalkers” can do is to take 2-foot cuttings from the growing willows and push them half way into the soft moist mud in the sunny bare spots along the banks. This bio-engineering technique doesn’t hurt the host plant, will allow more willows to spread, provides overhanging fish habitat and keep the banks from eroding. The other great benefit: it doesn’t cost the taxpayer a penny, and that in itself is a miracle of biblical proportions now days.

Literacy Volunteers programs benefit from tourney

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — There were 16 competitors, but the big winner was Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties in its annual scrabble tournament.

The tourney was played March 2 at Moriah Central School in Port Henry. That same day another tourney was played in Saranac Lake.

“We really like holding this event and what better way to promote literacy than with a game that has been doing that for years,” Maria Burke, Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties director, said. “We wanted to have a Scrabble Day as opposed to two tournaments on different days, just hoping to hold an event in each county we serve and spread the awareness that we are here and we are here for the people in our communities.”

The Scrabble Day raised awareness and funds to support the adult literacy program.

Matt Bosley from Westport claimed first place, Kathy Seguin Benn of Westport came in second and Nick Manfred from Moriah placed third in the Port Henry tournament.

“Literacy Volunteers would like to recognize and thank the following restaurants for donating prizes: The King’s Inn in Port Henry, Boyea’s

Burke said.

Literacy Volunteers of Essex and Franklin Counties offers free, confidential tutoring on a one-to-one basis and in small groups to anyone older than age 16. Most of its students are people working toward high school graduate equivalency degrees (GED) or foreign workers who lack English skills, Burke said.
