Film to be cast,shot in Willsboro

By Matt [email protected]

WILLSBORO —The next cinematicproject of an ambi-tious young writerand director couldput one local lake-side hamlet on anational stage.

Paul Bonfante, afilmmaker based inNew York City, isplanning to useWillsboro as thebackdrop for hisshort film entitled“Fish Ladder.”

“My plan is toget the whole towninvolved,” Bonfante said. “I’d like to havethe support of the town and have it be acommunity prospect.”

Bonfante said he chose Willsboro be-cause he already has a good feel for thetown, and sees it as the perfect setting for“Fish Ladder.”

“My family has been coming up to Wills-boro since I was a little kid,” the Buffalo na-tive said, noting that his parents now live

CLINTONVILLE — AKeeseville man whobrought joy to the lives ofmany will be remem-bered once again indeath.

Douglas O. Knightpassed away Aug. 9after a long battlewith ALS, alsoknown as LouGehrig’s Disease.Weeks later, hisfriends and familyare organizing anew way to embodythe mark he left onthe community.

A special ceremo-ny is planned forSept. 11 when, inKnight’s honor, ahandcrafted, 32-foot northern redoak flagpole will beerected in front ofthe AuSable ValleyCentral School ad-ministration building.

The flagpole, crafted by Adirondack Flagpoles,cost more than $3,000, but with donations fromdozens of individuals and businesses in the com-

munity, Knight’s friends raised the mon-ey in just three weeks.

Knight was a well-known musi-cian; part of the local bluegrass

trio Three Doug Knight for morethan 25 years. He was also abeloved bus driver for theAuSable Valley CentralSchool District. In both ca-pacities, he is known forbringing a smile to the face

of others.“He was really one of a

kind,” said George“Speedy” Arnold III, a fel-low bus driver and band-mate who helped organizethe flagpole raising.“There weren't many peo-ple in the town that knewhim and didn't love him.”

Knight’s impression onthe community could beeasily seen Aug. 13 asmore than 600 people at-tended his memorial serv-ice at Harmony Golf Clubin Port Kent. Many of hisclose friends called tomind his creativity, confi-dence, and overall zest forlife.

In his spare time, Knight enjoyed the outdoors,taking many opportunities to go hiking, skiing, or

Womanadmits tostealingthousandsfrom AMC

By Chris [email protected]

SARANAC LAKE — A Jaywoman pleaded guilty last week tostealing up to $135,000 from a Tri-Lakes hospital where she was for-merly employed.

Julie M. Santamaria, age 35, wasin Franklin County Court lastweek, where she entered a guiltyplea on charges that she stole thou-sands of dollars from an expenseaccount at a physicians’ officewhere she performed clerical work.

According to Adirondack Med-ical Center spokesman Joe Riccio,Santamaria worked for a medicalaffairs office at AMC and was ter-minated from her position last year.

The money that was stolen camefrom an expense account that wasused for training and continuingmedical education.

Franklin County District Attor-ney Derek Champagne says Santa-maria stole up to $135,000 over an11-year period, between October1997 and September 2008. She usedthe money for personal expenses,Champagne said.

“This was going on for quite awhile,” he said.

A number of area resident sentletters to Champagne, either call-ing for stiff penalties against SantaMaria or testifying to her goodcharacter.

“The letters represented both ex-tremes,” Champagne said. “Somesaid she should be sent to stateprison, others asked for leniencyand said she committed the crimefor various reasons.”

Plattsburgh attorney Bill Meconirepresented Santamaria through-out the proceedings.

AMC spokesman Joe Riccio saysthe hospital “cooperated complete-ly and fully” with the investiga-tion.

Sentencing is scheduled for Oct.22 at 2:30 p.m.

ELIZABETHTOWN — EssexCounty officials are asking vehicleowners to be on the lookout for anew online scam.

Joe Provoncha, who serves as Es-sex County Clerk, the office thatoversees the county’s Departmentof Motor Vehicles, said a number ofmotorists in other counties have al-ready been duped by bogus Websites.

DMVAuthority.org and othersimilar sites claim to offer car own-ers the ability to renew their vehi-cle’s New York registration online,avoiding a trip to the DMV wherethey would likely wait in line.

The site appears legitimate, ask-ing users about their county of res-idence and vehicle weight on a“registration form.” It adds a $10“processing fee” and $25 for ship-ping and handling, then asks usersfor their credit card number.

The site claims to mail the regis-

tration via first class mail within 10business days, but according toProvoncha, the deliveries are nev-er made.

“It’s the new and improvedscam,” he said of the site, notingreports from the Rochester areatold of hundreds being victimized.“If you’re paying for somethingand not getting anything in return,that’s a fraud.”

The site can be particularly dan-gerous because it appears as one ofthe top search results for “NY reg-istration” on most search engines.Different versions of the site can befound at www.dmvservices.us andwww.dmv3.vpweb.com.

Provoncha said online registra-tion is available through the offi-cial state DMV Web site, found atwww.nydmv.state.ny.us. He notedthat registration renewal by mailhas a two-day turnaround, and un-like online registration, benefitsthe county DMV.

Though this is the first DMVscam he’s dealt with, Provoncha

said identity theft scams that mis-represent themselves as govern-ment entities are nothing new toEssex County.

One prior scam, he said, wouldsend fraudulent juror summons toresidents then call them asking fortheir Social Security number under

the pretense of postponing theirjury duty.

“The Commissioner of Jurorsnever asks for your Social Securitynumber,” said Provoncha. “Wewould never do that.”

As for the DMV scam, no com-plaints have been received in Essex

County, said Provoncha, and hehopes there won’t be need for any.

DMVAuthority.org is currentlyunder investigation by the DMVand the State Attorney General’soffice. If anyone has used the site,they should contact the AttorneyGeneral’s Office.

Be on the lookoutfor bogus Web sites

This site at www.dmvservices.us promises users easy renewal of their vehicle registration online, though the site is notauthorized to provide the service. County clerks across the state are warning vehicle owners not to use the site, whichthey have confirmed as a scam.


ELIZABETHTOWN —The funds available formaintaining good roads andbridges throughout NewYork State are not enough tokeep pace with needed re-pairs, officials from the stateDepartment of Transporta-tion told Essex County su-pervisors Aug. 31.

NYSDOT Region 1 Direc-tor Mary Ivey and regionalplanning and program man-ager Robert Hansen gave apresentation to supervisorsat their Ways and Meanscommittee meeting, outlin-ing the dire situation facingNew York roadways throughthe next five years.

According to Hansen,keeping bridges in goodcondition has been a majorpriority in Region 1, whichstretches from Essex Coun-ty southward to Greene andColumbia counties. Over aquarter of bridges in the re-gion are falling into poorcondition, however, and willrequire extensive repairs by2013.

Pavement, too, is an issuehe said, noting that an esti-mated $103 million will berequired just to fundplanned resurfacing on statehighways in Region 1.

“It’s not just in NewYork,” Hansen said. “Thewhole country needs to havea serious discussion aboutwhat its going to do with itstransportation infrastruc-ture.”

Hansen referred to reportsfrom state Comptroller

Thomas DiNapoli that esti-mate an $80 billion shortfallfor transportation projectsover the next 20 years.

“Local governments needto have a long-term plan,”he said.

Afterward, Hansen field-ed questions from supervi-sors, many of whom ex-pressed concerns for proj-ects in their own backyard.

Chesterfield SupervisorGerald Morrow was amongmany who called for thecounty to be transferred toRegion 7, which stretchesfrom Jefferson to ClintonCounty. He suggested thatcompetition with other proj-ects in the Capital Regioncaused some road projects inEssex County to be ignored.

“If we could get out of Re-gion 1 and get into Region 7,I think we’d be better off,”he said.

Jay Supervisor RandyDouglas agreed, noting aproject that recently com-menced in the neighboringtown of Black Brook, in Clin-ton County, had been prom-ised by the previous Region1 director to include the Jayside of AuSable Forks.

“It seems like we get theshort end of the stick be-cause of where we’re locat-ed,” Douglas said.

Hansen said that whileRegion 1 has an annualbudget of over $98,000, Re-gion 7 only has $34,000 be-cause it includes far lessbridges. Still, a majority ofsupervisors agreed withMorrow.

Keene Supervisor BillFerebee complained of the

need for a culvert replace-ment that arose from in-stalling a new water systemin the town. He said whilethe state was willing to pro-vide a culvert, they wouldnot provide the labor to in-stall it.

Hansen expressed sympa-thy, noting similar situationsregarding other culvert re-placements.

“We’re not ignorant towhat’s out there,” saidHansen. “We’re just frustrat-ed at how to deal with it withsuch a limited budget.”

North Elba SupervisorRoby Politi told of a bridgeon Adirondack Loj Roadwhich will likely be takenover by the county becauseit’s cost prohibitive for thetown to replace. He said theprevious regional directorhad promised to replace thebridge, which is likely to beclosed if not replaced soon.

Hansen said in order forthe road to be handled by thestate, it would have to bemade “institutional” bymaking some of the land itaccesses state-owned.

Schroon Lake SupervisorCathy Moses said too muchstate money was being spenton sign replacement insteadof road repairs. Hansen saidreplacing the signs was doneto comply with a federalmandate.

Randy Preston, supervi-sor of Wilmington agreed,telling of how a sign direct-ing motorists to Haseltonwas misspelled when re-placed last year. Also, hesaid, Haselton has not exist-ed as a community for more

than 75 years.Other supervisors

stressed the importance ofmajor repair projects, suchas repavement of Route 22near Willsboro and revital-ization of the Crown Pointbridge to Vermont.

Essex Supervisor RonJackson noted the bridge isnot only a major corridor forcommerce, but a much-needed route for emergencyvehicles.

“If that bridge has to beclosed for any length oftime, you’re talking life ordeath, without question,” hesaid.

Park Festival concludes with William Shakespeare's HenryV, directed by Rebecca Lincoln, in Ballard Park, Westport,on Sunday, Sept. 6, at 3 p.m. Young Prince Hal, whom au-diences got to know as a roguish tearaway in Henry IV PartsI and II, has grown up and now must lead the English armyinto battle against the French.

Last week I avidly motored, in theavidly manner, to a Shaker reunionfor avid Shaker descendents at

Hancock Shaker Village. Stopped at OldChatham Shaker site but it was closed.Shirley insisted that she saw someonechanging the sign after we left. The samething happened in New Lebanon until wegot to Hancock Shaker Village. We certain-ly had a great time talking about the “OldDays” of Mother Ann.

Say, are you tired of those skinny legged,knock-kneed models? I was, so I signed upfor the Get Bulges 4800-calorie diet andgained 87 pounds in just 6 weeks. Before Igot the extra weight people snickered be-hind my skinny back and kicked sand inmy face. Now I have gone from a size 6and a 24” waist to a size 18 and 54 waist. Ihave more energy and am in the best shapeof my life. Golic and Marino look likewimps next to my bulging thighs, flabbystomach, pendulous chest hangings andhot dog fingers.

Speaking of models’ legs, Carol Williamswill be at the Essex Methodist Church thisFriday at 7:30 p.m. playing the WarrenCross Organ. Maybe she’ll play “Flat FootFloozy with a Floy Floy.”

Tried to Call the Adirondack Hospital inSaranac Lake. Phone rang 14 times until amachine answered and transferred me toanother machine that took the same num-ber of rings to respond, which was totransfer me back to the first machine. Idrove there from the ‘Burg, picked up thephone and answered my own call. Not re-ally, but when I finally got someone, I toldthem to “forget it,” the patient had died.

Went with Tom Carrick to get a haircut.He has so little hair that I thought Sueshould include my cut for free. She saidshe wouldn’t, because she knew it wouldbe too much trouble trying to find longhairs. Oh Yeah?

Connie Fee is doing a special concert inSeptember (Maine oysters are back atMainly) or October, or November, or De-cember. Guess I better cover this event ina subsequent column, or am I being subjectto an oneric episode?

One of my resources, a person familiarwith local affairs, told me, on condition ofanonymity because he is not authorized tomake an announcement, of several murkyaffairs. Not enough room this week so willtell all next week.

The North Country SPCA wants tothank all the families and pet own-ers who joined us to celebrate Dog

Days of August held Aug. 16 at MarcyField in Keene Valley. We also want tothank the Adirondack Farmers' Market Co-operative who generously sponsored theevent, and the Noonmark Diner, CedarRun Bakery, the Ausable Club and the Val-ley Grocery who donated food for a freekids' lunch.

Entertainment providers were Phil Mero,who twisted and tied many balloons tomake all shapes and sizes for children andadults; Debbie Timon and family, whopainted faces and decorative tattoos onmany happy children; and The LonesomeTravelers, Mitch and Vi Terry, a wonderfulsinging and guitar playing duo. Sid WardJr. generously contributed proceeds fromthe sale of his many beautiful wooden cut-ting boards.

Our shelter animals received lots of at-tention from the crowd and we're happy toreport that a number of cats and kittensfound their new homes at the Pet Fair. Wethank you all for your participation andgenerosity.

The main event was the Pet Parade withprizes for winners (doggies and owners) insix categories, and the finale was a won-derful Blessing of the Animals given by theReverend Milton Dudley from the KeeneValley Congregational Church. Most of thevery special prizes were donated by TheBirch Store in Keene Valley.

For the second year, the event drew alarge crowd, giving everyone a chanceboth to support the shelter and to enjoy the

wonderful Keene Valley Farmers' Market.The NCSPCA wants to thank all of our oldand new friends who support our missionto find loving homes for dogs and cats atour shelter. Look for us again, rain orshine, in August next year.

I t's hard to believe but school hasstarted again, and the unusually tal-ented and accomplished members of

WCS Class of 2010 have taken their placeas this year's seniors. These are studentswhose leadership skills are already testedand proven, and whose imaginations havealready sought out uncharted waters. Wewish them the best of luck throughouttheir final year as WCS students, with thesame hope for everyone at our outstandingschool, teachers and students alike.

ACAP is happy to announce that the Af-ter School Program will continue for K-6students at WCS, with a new low fee scaleowing to an improved funding situation.The fee scale is $75 a month for one child,$37.50 for a second child, and $18.75 for athird child. This new fee scale reflects thehope that the program will be more afford-able for big families than before.

Even so, assistance is still available forfamilies that could use the program butwould have trouble paying the full fee.ACAP wants the program to be availableand accessible to all who need it. For infor-mation and applications, call ACAP at 873-3207. Applications are also available at theschool.

The program starts September 9, andwill run each school day from dismissal to6 p.m.. Hopefully, you'll find me there,helping with homework or playing tag inthe playground.

Meantime, come see our last Shake-speare-in-the-Park production, Henry V,presented by American Studio Theater inBallard Park on Sunday, September 6, at 3p.m.. It's the rousing tale of a youngprince, the roguish Hal of earlier plays,who comes of age in leading the English towar against the French. This production isdirected by Rebecca Lincoln, who you mayremember as Kate in last year's Taming ofthe Shrew, and stars Daniel Billet as HenryV. It's free to the public.

This is the eighth (and possibly last)year that this group has returned to give asingle performance in Ballard Park on La-bor Day weekend. Their tie to Westport isCarrie Treadwell, who's a founding mem-ber of the company (and who opens in “Al-most, Maine” at the Depot Theater on Sep-tember 11). They're old friends, many ofwhom studied acting together at Carnegie-Mellon and Moscow Art Theatre, and whonow live and work either in NYC or LA.

This is their annual chance to reunite.They learn their lines on their own for eachyear's show, then come to Westport a fewdays early and put the show together. Formy money it's among the most lively andinventive Shakespeare you'll see anywhere.Bring a chair or blanket, and buy a raffleticket for the gorgeous Paul Rossi paintingthat helps pay for the whole thing. I'll bedrawing the winner at intermission.

Ready or not the weather has swift-ly put us into a fall mood, like aswitch the one week of real heat

quickly turned into much cooler tempera-tures. Hard to believe that school startsthis next week, some of the sports pro-grams have already started. I am not surethe children are ready to return, but theparents seem to be very ready.

This has been a busy summer for specialcelebrations, especially the 400 year cele-bration of the discovery of Lake Cham-plain. Locally, the Quad committee is offer-ing a final closing event, “A Heritage Trea-sure Tour ’ on the weekend of Sept. 12 and13. We have a community with a great dealof history to be proud of and we are hope-ful that families will take advantage of vis-iting our special sites before we close themup for the winter. It is felt that many in ourcommunity have not taken advantage ofvisiting our key heritage places, so plansare to make this special weekend available.Our community is joining in with the NewYork State making this weekend celebra-tion a state-wide event. Look for a more

detailed article elsewhere in this paper.The Willsboro United Methodist Church

has truly made the news waves on their“Bats in the Belfry.” Families in the com-munity have heard from friends and rela-tives that the story has appeared in printand on T.V. clear across the United States.Who would have guessed it would havemade such a big coverage? The bats do livein the attic and are very, very seldom seenany where else in the church.

Great pride in one of our former Wills-boro members is to receive an outstandingaward. Richard Hathaway, son of Florence& Donald Hathaway, received word that hehad received the CLD Teacher of the YearAward for 2009. This award comes fromthe Learning Disabilities Chapters of bothNorth & South Carolina. The award will bepresented at the Conference in Dallas,Texas in October. It is always great to seeone of our families honored.

As the story goes, ayoung girl namedHattie stood sobbing

outside the doors of aPhiladelphia church schoolmore than a century ago, hav-ing been turned away due to alack of space. Upon noticingthe child, the church’s pastorapproached and asked whatthe problem was.

“They cannot let me intoSunday School,” Hattie said.“There is no room.”

“I will take you in,” the kindpastor said and ushered herinto the school, telling her thatsomeday the church will belarge enough “for all thatshould come.”

Unfortunately, just a fewshort weeks later, the younggirl contracted diphtheria anddied. At the funeral, Hattie’sfather approached the pastorand told him his daughter hadbegun saving for a building-fund, running errands for pen-nies she saved in a little bank.

“She would want you tohave this,” he said, and withan outstretched hand gave 57cents to the pastor.

The pastor later ap-proached his deacons with the57 cents. While the group hadno short term plan of a newbuilding, the story inspiredthem and the 57 cents becamethe first gift toward a fundrais-ing campaign for a new, largerchurch.

When a suitable buildingparcel was identified, the pas-tor approached the ownerwith the little girl’s story.

“I talked the matter overwith the owner of the proper-ty, and told him of the begin-ning of the fund, and the storyof the little girl,” the pastorsaid.

While the man was not of

the church, or even a churchgoer for that matter, he was sodeeply moved by the storythat he agreed to take the 57cents donated by the little girlas the first down payment. Abenefactor later paid off theentire amount, leaving thechurch with no mortgage.

Thus was the humble begin-nings of the 3,300 seat TempleBaptist Church on Broad Streetin Philadelphia. A true story,told by the kind pastor, RussellH. Conwell, in his book “Acesof Diamonds” published in1890.

To this day, Hattie MaeWiatt’s picture can be foundalongside one of Pastor Con-well, on the wall of the chil-dren’s Sunday school room inthe church, a room largeenough “for all that shouldcome.”

I was reminded of this storyof a simple act of kindness thisweek after reading a letter tothe editor submitted by Rebec-ca Ives of Crown Point.

Rebecca told a story of awoman who approached hervan at the post office andpressed a $50 bill in herhand, saying only “Here isa little something for you totake your kids somewherenice and cool today. I thinkGod wanted me to blessyou today.”

Rebecca wanted theunidentified woman toknow that she and her threechildren did in fact take herup on the offer, and said she

was moved by the woman’sunsolicited act of kindness.

“If only everyone could tryand do this at least once ayear,” Rebecca wrote, sayingthe world would be a betterplace.

I couldn’t agree more Rebec-ca, and I share the above storyabout Hattie Mae Wiatt toshow just how one seeminglyinsignificant act of kindnesscan take on a life of its own —even when another is takenfrom us.

You are Cordially Invited… To Read the Facts:

Why the Essex County Republican Committee did not endorse the Incumbent Essex County District Attorney, and chose to endorse the Chief Assistant District Attorney of Clinton County, Kristy Sprague!

1. The vast majority of the committee felt if they had been able to interview Ms. Sprague in March of 2005 she would have been the endorsed candidate. Kristy Sprague was having a baby at the time and could not attend, so had to join the three way race after the endorsement process .

2. Many good Republican’s that previously endorsed the present DA have waited over the past three years for her appearance in the county courtroom to prosecute at trial, there has been very little. The absence of a proven prosecutor has given Essex County one of the lowest conviction and highest dismissal rates in our history. Ms Sprague has 11 years of actual courtroom prosecution with a solid record to give credence to her oath of office.

3. During the current DA’s term, there have been 13 confirmed dismissals for defective Grand Jury presentments, and out of the six felony jury trials commenced; only one resulted in a full conviction of the charges presented to the jury. That case, People v. Steven Baker, was reversed on appeal for a mistake the prosecutors made. This was the only case where the incumbent DA made more than a cameo appearance. Three sexual offenders walked free with either acquittals or misdemeanor convictions when they could have - and should have - faced life sentences for their acts. Kristy Sprague has a 100% conviction rate over the last 3 years of prosecuting cases very similar to these, not to mention the very recently publicized child abuse case.

4. Kristy Sprague informed the committee she was a good Republican and would not primary if she was not the endorsed candidate. Her opponent, not only will Primary the endorsed candidate but dropped her Republican values in order to gain the Democrat line.

5. Kristy Sprague has been endorsed by the New York State Police Troop B PBA. She is known to work effectively and professionally with Judges, JP’s, defense attorneys and Probation officers instead of fighting against them. Talk to your local JP’s and find out how they think the present DA has done. The current DA has chosen to alienate many Judges, JP’s, state troopers and even our own Sheriff.

6. There has been continued mismanagement and waste of taxpayers’ dollars with the current DA. One example of this is the present DA had her ADA seat a jury - disrupting the lives of dozens of people (including some committeemen) - for up to three days. She finally looked at the evidence to see if she had a real case and did not. The judge had to dismiss the jury at the prosecution’s request. The current DA office has the largest attorney staff ever, with no real increase in caseload.

7. Perhaps the best comparison between our present DA and Ms. Sprague is the recent incident where the DA and her attorney sent a convicted sexual offender to Ms. Sprague’s home – with her children present – to serve court paperwork. Ms. Sprague prosecuted this man just a few months prior as a sex offender and convicted him. This man now knows exactly where Ms. Sprague lives with her young children. Think about that for awhile .

8. CONCLUSION : The committee members concluded that not much will happen and not much will change if the current DA remains in office.

Anational campaign aimed at DWI offenders is gain-ing momentum. Some states, eleven in total, have al-ready enacted laws that require DWI offenders to

have an alcohol ignition interlock installed as a condition oftheir sentence.

The alcohol sensing device is attached to a car’s ignition sys-tem and keeps the car from starting if the operator is drinking.While the device has been around since the 1970’s, today’s de-vice is a much more sophisticated version. The design now in-cludes driver identification so that a non drinking driver couldnot take the test for the drinking driver.

For years, New Mexico lead the nation with the highest fatal-ity rates for alcohol related crashes. Then the law in New Mexi-co changed and every driver convicted of drunk driving wasrequired to have an alcohol ignition interlock installed on theircar. In the years between 2004 and 2008, the rate dropped by35% and their national rank fell to 25th. Massachusetts requiresDWI offenders that have had a second offense to have the de-vice installed.

This fall, congress will debate a law that would mandate thatall first time DWI offenders have the device installed. If thelaw is passed, states that do not adopt the law could lose feder-al highway money. Currently, 47 states and the District of Co-lumbia have interlock ignition laws for at least some offenders.Only Vermont, Alabama and South Dakota have no such laws.It is believed that there are about 150,000 in use right now andif the law mandating their use is passed, there would be aboutone million devices in use.

Toyota is developing a “fail-safe” system that detects alcoholuse by the operator and automatically shuts the car off. Nissanis also developing an alcohol detecting system that will keepdrunk drivers from behind the wheel. To date, no American carcompanies, GM, Ford or Chrysler, have decided to include thedevice on any American car.

There is strong debateabout the use of these devicesand not surprisingly, restau-rant lobbyists and related in-dustries are very interested.What is at stake? One persondies every half hour in Ameri-ca due to drunk driving. An-nually, about 16,000 are killedin crashes where alcohol wasa factor or about almost halfof all traffic fatalities. Everyother minute, a person is seri-ously injured in an alcohol related crash in America. While Icannot debate the merits of using this device, it appears that itcould be another tool that could add to the current arsenal oftools to reduce drunk driving.

In Nassau County, New York, the DWI Coordinator has insti-tuted a novel approach in reminding drinkers not to drive.They are installing devices in men’s urinals that when activat-ed say, “hey you, is it really worth the hassle? Don’t drink anddrive; call a friend or call a cab.” Anything that remindsdrinkers not to drive is a good thing.

There probably is not one magical action or preventive meas-ure. The many efforts now being made by the law enforcementside, along with those agencies engaged in providing preven-tive education around drinking and driving need to be main-tained. As young people become more and more technological-ly inclined, it is only a matter of time before a technological ormechanical device will be added to the drinking and drivingeffort. Remember, all kids count.

Kids Count By Scot Hurlburt

It's time again to answer some questions from readerslike you who are learning to be Super-Couponers:

Q: "I have been following your method for about a monthnow and I'm having a lot of fun with this! But I am havingtrouble getting my husband to understand why I just bought 6bottles of lotion at one time. I paid 49 cents each after couponsand I thought that was a good deal. But he thinks it's silly tobuy more than we need. Help!"

A: It sounds like you're hitting a little stockpile resistance athome. Don't worry. It's temporary. Sometimes it's difficult towrap our brains around buying more than we need for imme-diate use. As shoppers, we are conditioned to buy based onneeds versus buying strictly based on price.

But to understand why stockpiling groceries works so well,it's important to note why prices fluctuate so widely. Grocerystores operate on a pricing cycle that typically lasts 12 weeks.During that time, the price of every item in the store will riseand fall according to various sale. But the price of any givenitem will only be at its absolute lowest price just once duringthe 12-week period. So, if you're not buying your items whentheir price is at that lowest point you're paying more, need-lessly. If we can buy a sufficient amount of a nonperishableitem to last 12 weeks, we don't have to go to the store and getstuck paying full price for something when we "need" it. Andthat's the difference between needs-based shopping and price-based shopping. If we purchase our items when the price hitsthat low and store them at home, we can "shop at home" forthat item when we actually do need it.

Your lotion is a great example of a good item to stockpile.It's easy to store and doesn't hit an expiration date for a verylong time. You paid less than 50 cents a bottle and you've gotenough lotion on hand to last your household the better partof a year. Had you purchased only one, when that bottle ranout you'd have to go to the store and pay close to $4 to replaceit. With your stockpile, you'll simply reach for the next bottlewhen you need it and you'll feel great knowing it cost youone-eighth the price of a regular-priced bottle. That makes ter-

rific financial sense! Wouldyour husband rather youspend eight times as much asyou did? I bet not!

Q: "Could you help me withcoupon stacking? My grocerystore always offered its storecoupons in the flier. But nowthey started offering electroniccoupons and I'm not sure howto stack my paper couponswith these."

A: Coupon stacking is a great way to save big! When westack coupons, we combine a store coupon and a manufactur-er coupon on the same item. And, when stores offer theircoupons electronically, stacking works almost the same way.

First, you'll log in to your store's Web site and activate yourelectronic coupons. Once activated, these coupons will auto-matically be deducted from your total when the clerk scansyour store shopper's loyalty card during checkout. Stackingmanufacturer coupons with electronic store coupons is eveneasier than stacking two paper coupons together, since there'sless to clip! Once you have viewed the list of online couponsloaded to your card, comb through the current week's circu-lars and your stash of previous week's circulars for couponson those same items and take them with you to use duringcheckout. You'll receive the store's discount instantly via theelectronic coupons on your card and when the cashier scansyour manufacturer coupons you will receive those discountson top of the others. You'll see both sets of savings on your re-ceipt... and a smaller end total, too!

Business owners inspiringTo the editor:As the town of Moriah Supervisor I would like to thank

Bob and Carol Corbo for 35 years of service to our commu-nity. You were not only the “local pharmacy” for many ofour residents, you were also our friends! Your commit-ment to hometown service was unmatched, and eventhough I am sure that many times with the economic con-ditions and the many changes in the pharmaceutical busi-ness made times difficult, you chose to continue to pro-vide us with your friendly service.

Your loyalty to your home town when choosing to opena business here 35 years ago convinced many of us thathave lived here for generations that if this young profes-sional couple chose to stay here, then maybe we shouldalso.

When the mines closed in 1971, many businesses withinour community closed their doors. Hometown Pharmacywas the exception, you decided to open a business eventhough our town was facing some of the most difficulttimes that we had ever experienced.

You have both been an inspiration for many through theyears, and we as a community are thankful. My dad al-ways insisted that he go to Hometown Pharmacy for hisprescriptions, because he looked forward to his visit withBob, Carol and Barb! I am sure that most of your cus-tomers through the years felt the same.

On behalf of our entire community, we wish you thevery best for your well-deserved retirement years! Onceagain, thank you for being more than our local pharmacy,but for also being our friends!

Sprague delivers justice wellTo the editor:My letter today serves to lend my endorsement to the

election of Ms. Kristy Sprague for Essex County DistrictAttorney. My source of reference stems from observing herservice in Clinton County as assistant District Attorney,and from my own testimonies in court on behalf of abusedchildren. The majority of my clients live in Essex, Franklinand Clinton counties.

As a physician providing healthcare to children, and asa citizen of the North Country, my definition of the Dis-trict Attorney position is very clear. I want someone withkeen investigative skills, firmness, and vast knowledge ofthe law mixed with genuine common sense. I want a Dis-trict Attorney who knowsthe communities of theNorth Country, and whocan deliver justice the wayour society deserves. I wantsomeone who can comfort-ably utilize the professionalresources in our communityand not be intimidated byanyone in the search fortruth and fairness.

Ms. Kristy Sprague fitsthis definition superbly.

She’s smart, she’s tough, and she has the experiencegained from her role as assistant District Attorney forClinton County to get the job done. My Essex Countyclients would be well served if unthinkable criminal actsagainst children were to occur. And any other criminal ac-tivity uncovered by the law would receive prompt, stern,deterrent level response as well.

A vote for Kristy Sprague equates to a loud and clearvote against crime. We’re lucky to have her working in theNorth Country, and extremely fortunate to have her stepup to the District Attorney role for Essex County.

Julie’s the choice, Meyer’s the mistakeTo the editor:I write to ask everyone who believes in justice, truth

and integrity to re-elect Julie Garcia. My oldest brother,Albert, was run down while jogging along a straight-awayin broad daylight by a drunk driver. Steven Baker had 16beers and pot in his system, a suspended license forspeeding, and was speeding so fast, Bert’s legs and but-tock were thrown over 700 feet.

When Judge Meyer wanted to plea bargain away thecrime, Julie insisted the manslaughter two charges remain.When Meyer called Albert the “alleged victim,” Julie ob-jected. When Meyer postponed sentencing so Baker couldspend the summer with his child, Julie objected. WhenMeyer released Baker without bail, Julie pleaded for$150,000 bail. When Judge Meyer asked Tommy over 30questions about why he let Albert go jogging, Julie huggedTommy and insisted it wasn’t his fault. When Meyerwaived all but one of the fines (even the mandatory ones),Julie objected. When Meyer sentenced Baker to 2 and 1/3 -7 years in medium security prison, Julie fought for more.Baker will serve 4 years. When Meyer said it wasn’t his jobto send a message to the community, Julie reminded himthat he is an elected official and is obligated to communi-cate that the law is respected and enforced.

Meyer might not care about Albert and doing the rightthing but Julie cares and always does the right thing. Mey-er made a mockery of Albert’s life, but Julie cherishes Al-bert’s memory and keeps his photo in her office.

Something really wrong and bad is going on in Essex.Since Julie is fighting for justice, some Republicans wantto get her out and replace her with a puppet. If you careabout justice and truth, you must fight for Julie.

Essex gets cash fornew sewer system


ESSEX — The town of Essex will soon begin work in-stalling a public sewer system thanks to two hefty grantsfrom the state and federal governments.

U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack an-nounced the selection of $34.3 million in water and envi-ronmental projects across New York State that are beingfunded immediately through the American Recovery andReinvestment Act.

Among the 13 towns selected was Essex, which received a$2.3 million grant and $100,000 direct loan. The funds willsupplement a $4 million grant and $1 million loan awardedto the project in early July from the Environmental FacilitiesCorp., a state agency charged with distributing regionallygranted stimulus funds.

Supervisor Ron Jackson said the USDA grant comes aswelcome news.

“This means that, unless the bids come in very crazy, we’regoing to be building a sewer system in the town of Essex,”he said.

Essex is the last lakeshore town on either side of the laketo install a public sewer and wastewater treatment system.Jackson said it was not for lack of trying.

“For 55 years, we have put in a lot of sweat equity to getto this point,” he said, adding that the sewer system will notonly benefit the lake, but could bring new businesses to thetown and help the many residents struggling with waste-water issues.

“In Essex, because of the clay soil, there are two types ofseptic systems,” said Jackson, “those that have failed andthose that will fail in the near future.”

Jackson said he is hoping for further grants to help thetown install a municipal water system, as the state Depart-ment of Health is pressuring the town to stop using surfacewater from the lake.

“It would be wonderful to install both at the same time,”he said.

Jackson credited representatives in state and federal gov-ernment on both sides of the lake for securing the stimulusfunding including Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, StateSen. Elizabeth Little, Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Jim Jef-fords.

“It’s been a project with wide support and we’re verygrateful for all the people who helped us,” said Jackson.

PORT HENRY — The towns of Moriah, Crown Point andWestport are investigating a shared court house.

All three communities face a state mandate for greatercourt space.

“We all have the same issues,” Moriah Supervisor TomScozzafava said. “The state is offering incentives for consol-idation of services and this certainly fits. Why spend themoney for three court houses when we can all use the sameone?”

While discussions are on-going, it’s likely the shared courtbuilding would be located in Port Henry — central to thethree communities — according to Scozzafava and CrownPoint Supervisor Dale French.

“We’ve discussed it and the Crown point town board sup-ports the concept,” French said.

But while talks are in progress, Moriah and Crown Pointare proceeding with plans to upgrade their current court fa-cilities.

Moriah is now seeking bids for an addition to the currentcourt house at Park Place in Port Henry. If the joint venturebecomes reality, Scozzafava said the addition will be ade-quate to welcome the Crown Point and Westport courts.

“Our (Moriah) court meets two nights a week,” Scozzafa-va said. “We could easily allow Crown Point and Westportto hold court here.”

French said the Crown Point court, now located in theMiller building, meets once a week. Plans for improvementsat the Miller building will continue even as court talks pro-ceed.

“The work at the Miller building needs to be done,whether the court stays there or not,” French said. “We’regoing to proceed with that work while looking at the jointcourt proposal. I think it makes a lot of sense.”

If the Crown Point court moves, French said, the space atthe Miller building can be used to help alleviate over-crowd-ing at the town hall.

“The buzz word coming from Albany the past few yearshas been ‘shared services’,” Scozzafava said. “Do 18 differ-ent (Essex County) towns need 18 different court houses?

“If we pursue a shared court facility it’ll hopefully openthe door to state and federal funding,” he added.

Scozzafava said recently the town will use student laborfrom the Champlain Valley Tech campus in Mineville for thecourt project.

“I think we can do it with the money we’ve received fromthe (state) Office of Court Administration,” Scozzafava said.“It’ll be a good experience for the students and it fits ourbudget.”

The state Office of Court Administration has promisedMoriah nearly $50,000 for the construction.

No one can blame Moriah residents if they’re confusedabout the court project.

Steven Gold of the New York State Office of Court Ad-ministration told the Moriah town board in June 2008 thepresent 12x14 foot room that serves as Moriah town court isinadequate and must be addressed.

The town had plans to erect its own modular building tohouse its court and police department adjacent to the townhall at Park Place in Port Henry. That project was shelvedwhen the cost soared.

Originally expected to cost about $170,000, estimates fora new court building reached as high as $500,000 because ofstate regulations and mandates. Scozzafava believed the fi-nal cost would be about $300,000.

Town trustees then considered several short-term solu-tions to the court situation, including renting space. Officialsfelt they had found space, the Mountaintime FurnitureBuilding on Broad Street in Port Henry, but found it wouldcost $200,000 to bring the building up to state court code.

Finally — or it seemed at the time — the Moriah townboard voted unanimously Feb. 10 to ignore a state order toconstruct a new house, citing affordability.

Then in March, hoping to get federal funding, Moriah of-ficials noted the possibility of reviving a years-old plan toconstruct a joint municipal building with the village of PortHenry to house town court and police along with the villagefire department. That initial plan fell apart last spring whena suitable location and timetable for construction couldn’tbe found.

InBrief DebateFrom page 1

Sprague challenged Garcia’s skills as a prosecutor and hercommitment to fiscal responsibility, claiming that Garciahad inflated her department’s budget.

“A drug case dismissed for lack of evidence, another drugcase dismissed for lack of evidence and failure to providethe Grand Jury enough evidence and instructions,” Spraguesaid, brandishing case records. “These are very basic thingsa District Attorney has to do. If anyone has ever heard thephrase ‘convict a ham sandwich,’ well, this administrationcouldn’t.”

Garcia countered by criticizing Sprague on her ego, ac-cusing her of providing misleading information and usingfear tactics to acquire votes. She said the budget in her de-partment has actually decreased 12 percent during hertenure, and said office staff has dropped from 11 employeesto eight.

“When anyone tries to play on the public’s fear, I think it’scompletely inappropriate,” Garcia said. “Going throughspecific cases without giving all of the background infor-mation is a tactic; it’s called a fear tactic.”

While her records are readily available, Garcia claimed theClinton County District Attorney had refused requests to re-lease information about Sprague’s record as a prosecutor,making it difficult to make comparisons.

“I’ve got nothing to hide,” she said.Sprague blamed Garcia for mounting a lawsuit that aimed

to disqualify Sprague’s petition signatures on the basis ofher living outside Essex County. She even accused Garcia ofsending a registered sex offender whom she had prosecut-ed for rape to her home to serve notice for the suit, whichwas rejected Aug. 14.

At the debate, Garcia said it was her commitment to opengovernment and willingness to ask questions that created arift between her and Republican leaders.

“The Republican party leadership in Essex County is atrain wreck,” Garcia said. “I find it very difficult to relatewith them on any level. In fact, I think when any party is incontrol for a long period of time, this is the kind of govern-ment that is created.”

Both candidates agreed that party politics have no placein the DA’s office.

Sprague argued Republican leaders simply chose the bet-ter candidate, seeing poor performance by Garcia in the last

four years.“They asked her to do her job, and she didn't do it,”

Sprague said.Garcia said her record is above average and that allowing

plea deals is sometimes a better exercise in justice than al-ways pursuing a conviction. She pointed to the progress sheand her staff have made tackling drunk driving, both bytough prosecution of the crime and strong prevention effortsagainst underage alcohol use.

Sprague, on the other hand, said Garcia avoided takingfelony cases to trial, instead choosing to leave them in herstaff ’s hands. She also asserted Garcia paid far too much at-tention to DWIs while letting other, more pressing issues fallthrough the cracks and making deals with repeat offenders.

“Unlike my opponent, I am not afraid of going into thecourtroom and fighting for victim’s rights,” Sprague said.“I’m not a talker, I am a doer — I lead by example and I trainnew attorneys how to win cases successfully.”

In her closing remarks, Garcia said the election was asmuch about transparency in government as it was aboutchoosing a good DA.

“I committed to you before I asked for your commitmentto me,” she said. “I know the people that live in this coun-ty, and I hope I've earned your trust.”

Sprague finished by saying she is the more qualified can-didate and the more able prosecutor.

“Maybe my opponent is doing the best she can, but I cando better," she said.

Both candidates are set to face off in a Republican primarySept. 15. Sprague defeated Garcia for the Republican en-dorsement in June. Garcia, in turn, gained the endorsementof Democrats.

FilmFrom page 1

in Willsboro. “I kind of have a relationship with the town.”One of the main shooting locations for the film will be the

former Willsboro Central School. Eli Schwartzberg, the newowner of the building, granted Bonfante permission to useone of its top-floor rooms as a newspaper office scene.

Other primary filming locations could include a localfarm, a tavern, and the Willsboro Fish Ladder, which in-spired the title of the film.

“I drive by that sign every day,” said Bonfante. “I thinkfish swimming against a current is an interesting image tostart the film with.”

“Fish Ladder” tells the story of a young, tender journalistwho finds himself working for a corrupt newspaper editor.Desiring to become a powerful, influential writer, he beginsto question his morality as he slowly becomes aware of therepeated acts of violence his boss uses to “create” news sto-ries and sell papers in a newsless town.

Bonfante said the inspiration for the film came from abook: “Man Bites Dog,” by Donal Foley. The book is a col-lection of satirical articles written by Foley, a journalist forthe Irish Times.

“I just thought it was interesting; the dynamic betweenhim and his boss,” Bonfante said.

Not only does Bonfante plan to shoot the film in Wills-boro, he hopes to assemble a cast of local residents for thefilm.

The casts consists of three main characters with about fivesecondary parts. Another dozen or so will be needed to fillin smaller parts or as extras.

Bonfante said that potential cast members do not neces-sarily need to have prior experience acting on film, butshould be able to “wear the character on their sleeve.”

“When it comes down to it, it’s about seeing something insomebody and being able to work with it,” he said.

A 2008 graduate of Fordham University, Bonfante said“Fish Ladder” represents his first venture into somethingmore than a student film.

The film has a small budget; projected at only $11,000, butBonfante said the vast majority of that money will be spentin the North Country.

“I really hope I can get enough to pay the lead charactersand some of the (20-person) crew,” he said.

Though it may be a far cry from big-budget feature films,Bonfante hopes “Fish Ladder” can help jump-start his careerin the industry as he brings the film on tour with him to aseries of independent film festivals.

“Overall, I think it’s going to be a fantastic opportunity,not only for myself, but also the whole community,” he said.

Casting for “Fish Ladder” will take place at WillsboroCentral School, Room E102 Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 6 p.m. Au-ditions are open to anyone age 18 or older. For more infor-mation, or to set up an audition time, contact casting direc-tor Derrick Hopkins at [email protected] or 572-4272.

This year, Holy Name/St. Matthew’s Church along withSt. Margaret’s Parish is honoring Father Phillip T. Allen’s 50years of Priesthood. Allen, an avid hiker and a member ofthe 46er Club, will be participating in the annual festival forthe 23rd consecutive year.

After the parade, the field day celebration will be held onthe Holy Name Church/School grounds. One of Santa’s fa-mous reindeer, Blitzen, will be located on the grounds nearthe Moon Bounce. HooDeeDoo and Trillium will also be per-forming for an hour after the parade on the field grounds.

Plenty of traditional fare will be included, such as chick-en BBQ dinners, hot dogs, hamburgers, fried bread dough,french fries, snow cones, popcorn, cotton candy, and re-freshments. Bingo starts at 2 p.m., with doors opening atnoon.

There will be six new games of skill on the field groundsthis year; the $1 bounce, milk jug, frisbee toss, ringer, andready-go-throw. Returning once again will be the dunkingbooth and the chance to win a fresh baked pie.

Band entertainment will be provided by Side by Side En-tertainment on the field grounds from 1 – 5 p.m.

The field day grounds are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. andcloses with a large cash raffle drawing. First prize is $5,000,$1,000 for second, $300 for third, $200 for fourth, and $100for fifth.

Douglas said that the event encourages many in the com-munity to hold family reunions or get-togethers withfriends.

“It’s just a great end-of-summer event for the communi-ty,” Douglas said.

Westport to host Lobster Festival this weekend

By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PERU — The North Coun-try’s connection to the Under-ground Railroad and a familycredited for playing an im-portant role in the abolitionistmovement has been restored.

A new historical markerhonoring the Keese Home-stead on Harkness Road wasunveiled in a ceremony Aug.20. The original marker waslost a few years ago as the re-sult of a motor vehicle acci-dent.

Lita Paczak, a teacher withSeton Catholic Central Schoolwho has taken students onfield trips to the site, was cred-ited for being one of the driv-ing forces behind helping theproperty’s owners, Lincolnand Ann Sunderland, gettingthe marker replaced.

Though the original markerwas paid for by the state, saidPaczak, it was learned the costof a replacement marker —

which amounted to a littlemore than $1,000 — would bethe burden of the propertyowner. Paczak reached out toNeal Burdick, a descendant ofthe Keese family, and the twoworked together with theNorth Country UndergroundRailroad Historical Associa-tion to host a fundraiser lastNovember at Peru Communi-ty Church

“It just made sense,”Paczak said of raising moneyto replace the marker.

The benefit raised morethan $600 and, thanks to theadded generosity of neighborJon Rulfs and Ann KeeseChien, another Keese familydescendant, the remainingbalance of the cost was cov-ered.

The unveiling of the newhistorical marker was person-ally gratifying for Burdick,who is the great-great-grand-son of Stephen Keese Smith, aleading citizen in the QuakerUnion and first cousin, once

removed of Peter Keese, whobuilt the stone house thatstands today at the KeeseHomestead.

“There was a very impor-tant social movement thattook place here,” said Bur-dick. “Peter Keese was threat-ened for being an abolitionistbecause it was illegal to har-bor runaway slaves. It’s notsomething you did lightly orcasually.”

Though Peter Keese andStephen Keese Smith havebeen credited for their effortsin the anti-slavery movement,the new historical marker atPeter Keese’s homestead nowcontains one word the previ-ous marker did not — aboli-tionist.

“The most important wordon the sign, to me, is aboli-tionist,” said Burdick. “That’sreally what tells the storyabout what happened here.”

The evidence of PeterKeese’s support of the aboli-tion of slavery, said Papson,

was in his signature on a peti-tion for the formation of theClinton County Anti-SlaverySociety in 1837.

“We have good reason tosay that he was an abolition-ist,” he said.

According to Papson, theKeese Homestead was one ofthe last stops on the Under-ground Railroad in New YorkState before fugitive slavesmade their way to Canada.The slaves, explained Papson,would end up in New YorkCity and then make their wayto Albany, Troy, Glens Fallsand then to Peru before head-ing to Champlain and cross-ing the border in Lacolle, Que-bec.

The installation of themarker, said Papson, is “help-ing history to stay alive,” andcredited the ambition of peo-ple involved with making themarker’s replacement a reali-ty.

“This is the result of peoplein the community who felt aloss every time they drove byhere and didn’t see the signcoming together sharing theirtalents, their historical knowl-edge and their love for theKeese family,” said Papson.

“The one defining feature Iwould say of the North Coun-try,” he added, “is that when

there is a need, people cometogether and work together tomake something happen.”

State AssemblywomanJanet L. Duprey, R-Peru, cred-ited the Sunderlands for theirrole in seeing the KeeseHomestead remains a piece ofhistory that will remain in thecommunity for many years tocome.

“The preservation they’ve

done and what they’ve man-aged to maintain in this homeover the years is absolutelynothing short of phenome-nal,” said Duprey. “And, howfortunate we are that theyhave agreed to share this withus today because of their gen-erosity and their continuingsupport of the history of theNorth Country.”

Did you know?Though the Keese Homestead house today

officially stands within the boundaries of the townof Ausable, it is often considered to be part of thetown of Peru. Prior to Ausable’s formation andthe changing of boundary lines in 1839, thehouse stood in Peru, explained Peru’s town his-torian, Ron Allen. In fact, the Keese Homestead

was Peru’s first settlement, established in 1789by Keese family ancestor William Keese, whoclaimed the spot as payment for his surveyingservices following the American Revolution.

“It really doesn’t matter,” said Allen. “The his-tories of Peru, Keeseville and Ausable are so in-tertwined, the political boundaries don’t makeany difference. We share a lot of history.”

boating. He often put his hand to building and repairing wood furniture.As his physical capacities slowly gave way to ALS through the last two years of his life,

Knight had to give up his career and many of the hobbies he loved. Still, with friends closeby his side, he continued to make a positive impact.

“He took a very spiritual road, and he took it with the same level of confidence and com-mitment that he did with everything else in his life,” said Richard LaBombard, who joinedKnight on many skiing and fishing trips. “Doug showed his family and friends the mostbeautiful side of life, and brought us all closer to God.”

“He had a way of exiting life that really taught us a lot,” said Arnold. “His attitude,right up until the end, was as positive as you could get from anybody.”

Knight was also heavily involved at AVCS as a Ski Club advisor and sound technicianfor school musicals. Vocal music teacher Steven Collier attested to his great rapport withstudents, both on and off the bus.

“The kids loved him,” he said, noting Knight’s positive attitude and attentiveness. “Hemade everybody feel like he was their best friend.”

Collier will direct choral students from AuSable Valley in singing patriotic songs at theflag raising ceremony, just days after school is back in session.

“I think it will hit everybody really hard when we get back to school and we all starttalking about him again,” Collier said.

In honor of Knight’s legacy at AVCS, a Doug Knight Scholarship Fund has been estab-lished to benefit future graduates of the school. Donations from the public are still beingsought to bolster the endowment.

“I don’t know anybody who has touched so many arms of the community; he had suchdiverse interests,” Collier added. “This really is a community-wide loss.”

Other musicians and guest speakers will also join in the tribute, which coincides withPatriot Day. Members of American Legion Post 504 in AuSable Forks will present a saluteto members of the Armed Forces and the nation.

Though Knight was not a veteran, LaBombard said erecting a flagpole in his memorywould be very appropriate because he was a true patriot who loved his country.

“What is also very appropriate is that this flagpole is hand-made from wood,” he said.“Doug worked magic with his hands. He created his house from the earth with his handsand heart. Doug could see a beautiful piece of furniture in a tree, and then create it.”

The ceremony will begin Sept. 11 at 5:30 p.m. in front of the AVCS administration build-ing. Visitors are encouraged to park at AuSable Valley High School, where buses will pro-vide shuttle transportation, departing from the school at 5:15 p.m. The buses will returnvisitors to the High School in time for the football game that evening.

BOLTON LANDING —Friday, the PBS televisionprogram Bill Moyers Journalaired segments of a docu-mentary film examining per-plexing aspects of the na-tional health care crisis.

Excepts of the film, “Mon-ey-Driven Medicine,” hadbeen presented earlier onABC’s Nightline.

Local viewers were likelyunaware that Bolton Land-ing’s own Dr. Walter Mc-Connell, a retired physician,conceived and produced thedocumentary.

Also, they may not haverealized that a few scenes inthe documentary werefilmed in the ChestertownHealth Center, featuring Dr.Dan Larson of parent organ-ization Hudson HeadwatersHealth Network expressinghis views on the health carecrisis.

McConnell, who livesyear-round on the shore ofLake George, is the execu-tive producer of the docu-mentary which details howhealth care in the U.S. hasbecome expensive, is miredin bureaucracy and litiga-

tion, and has eroded the tra-ditional doctor-patient rela-tionship.

The documentary is head-ed for national release forshowings in up to 14,000 the-aters nationally, McConnellsaid Monday.

McConnell, who has per-sonally experienced howhealth care has changed rad-ically since the 1960s, saidthat a strong doctor-patientrelationship — now threat-ened by the way medicine iscontrolled by corporations— is vital to providing effec-tive care that promoteshealth.

He said Monday that thehealth care system in theU.S. showers money onHMO and health insuranceexecutives and needless ex-penses, while offering lowpay for primary-care doc-tors, a situation which hasreduced their numbers dra-matically.

The primary-care doctorsare forced by this corporate-oriented medicine to pro-vide cursory patient visita-tions which don’t adequate-ly protect a person’s health,he said.

“We've got to get back tothe old doctor-patient rela-tionship, in which we have

time to sit down together,conduct a proper exam, re-view a person’s medical his-tory, selectively order testsand referrals — and not or-der every single test becauseof liability,” he said. “It’s amatter of sharing a commonbond, trusting each otherand a doctor looking after apatients’ wellness — keep-ing them healthy instead ofseeing them only whenthey’re sick.”

Due to the low pay andhigh expenses of medicalpractices, medical students— who pay hundreds ofthousands of dollars fortheir education — are forcedto seek adequate compensa-tion by practicing medicalspecialties, which earn farmore than primary carepractices, McConnell said.

“The essential issue andcrisis in this country is wecannot have a health. systemunless we have doctors —the critically important careof primary care physicians,and these are people wholook after you as a total in-dividual and coordinateyour care,” he said.

Bill Moyers has offeredpraise for McConnell’s film.

“Money-Driven Medicineis one of the strongest docu-mentaries I have seen inyears and could not be moretimely,” he said in a review.

McConnell’s idea for thedocumentary grew out of hislong-standing frustrationshow health care in the U.S.was evolving, with corpora-tions exerting ever morecontrol.

He started out his careeras a school physician, thenlaunched his own privatefamily practice in New Jer-sey which performed every-

thing from providing su-tures to delivering babies, hesaid.

Later, when the practiceincluded more doctors andits focus changed, Mc-Connell moved on to becomechief of an emergency carecenter at Dover Hospital.But when two Dover hospi-tals merged, the corpora-tions destroyed the practice,he said, and he retired in1996.

But during his last year atthe hospital, investigativereporter Doug Campbell ofthe Philadelphia Inquirercontacted him and wantedto write an article about Mc-Connell and his work in or-ganizing an ascent of Mt.Everest — contrasted withthe challenges McConnellroutinely faced in the hospi-tal’s emergency wing.

The writer authored alengthy, prominent article,and he and McConnell latercollaborated on writing abook — Malignant Deci-sions — a novel that de-scribes problems in thehealth care system includingits exorbitant cost, and howdoctors are increasingly los-ing control to corporationsover medical decision-mak-ing. McConnell sent a copyof the book to a friend, a for-mer medical student, whohad become a filmmaker.The connection led to Mc-Connell networking withAlex Gibney, the Oscar-win-ning filmmaker who endedup producing Money-Dri-ven Medicine, based on abook written by Maggie Ma-har — and McConnell’s re-search and experience.

In about 1997, McConnell— who had vacationed inBolton since 1964 — movedto live full-time on the shoreof Lake George. At thispoint, he worked about fouryears in Glens Falls Hospi-tal’s Emergency Care Cen-ter. In about 2000, he beganworking primarily on thedocumentary.

McConnell’s considerableexperience convinced himthat more and more peoplewere using Emergency Careas an inadequate substitutefor a primary-care doctor.When people depend solelyon emergency care, he andother providers say, they puttheir health at risk due tolack of follow-up. But thelack of resources and theshortage of primary-caredoctors, he said, compelsmany to be treated in emer-

gency centers. In New YorkState, an emergency centermust treat anyone, regard-less of their ability to pay.However, although theranks of the uninsured aregrowing, emergency carecenters have declined innumber — 10 percent overthe last five years — due tohospital closures, he said.

McConnell knew Larsonfrom Glens Falls Hospital,and he shared his observa-tions with Larson and otherHudson Headwaters offi-cials, who have for yearssounded the alarm over theailing health care and reim-bursement system and thespiraling shortage of pri-mary care doctors.

McConnell said Mondayhe supports the concept ofHudson Headwaters opera-tions and how they reach outto those of low income. Also,he admires their “medicalhome” pilot initiative —supported by state HealthCommissioner RichardDaines — in which HHHN isenhancing the coordinationof care for patients andboosting follow-up contacts,and the state is boosting re-imbursements accordingly.

McConnell said that fixingthe health care system is noteasy, and a government planthat would thrust manymore patients into clinics oremergency rooms — withoutboosting the ranks of pri-mary care physicians — is nosolution.

McConnell said it is vitalthat people be informed andexpress their opinion totheir legislators.

He suggested people go tohis website, www.money-drivenmedicine.org, as afirst stop.

There, people can expresstheir opinions, he said, andall responses will be for-warded to legislators orhealth care planners. He saidhis group is in direct contactwith Senate Finance Com-mittee Chairman Max Bau-cus, who is seeking to fix pri-mary care, but also to keepentrepreneurship involved.

Available on the websiteare a summary of the docu-mentary’s findings and re-views of the film.

Also, he and Larson can befound on YouTube, in sever-al presentations of their ob-servations and views.

Istand corrected — atleast in part. Twoweeks ago, I wrote a

column faulting AdirondackPark Agency chairman CurtStiles and his decision toopen a locked gate to gainaccess this spring to a publiccamping area at Lake Lila.

The gate was closed forearly season maintenance,but Stiles and three others,not wanting to hike the 5-plus miles to Lake Lila, de-cided to open the gate witha key they found hidden under a nearby rock.

The group was later found camping on state land by aforest ranger, and no tickets were issued, with the stateDEC saying no laws were broken because a section of theroad Stiles accessed was private and those landownerscould drive through the gate.

The state holds a conservation easement across thoselands to Lake Lila beyond.

Last Saturday, a groupof eight individuals, ledby Black Brook towncouncilman HowardAubin, decided to drivearound a gate — or inthis case, a cable — ontopublic land to see ifthey’d get the same le-niency shown to Stiles.

They did — which iswhy I stand corrected. Isaid they most likely would be ticketed, which they werenot; not yet, anyway.

In fact, while four state forest rangers eventually turnedout to investigate and take down names and informationfrom the group, in the end they weren’t even asked toleave.

“We drove right past two forest preserve signs,” saidMike Vilegi, one of the protesters. “We just started barbecu-ing and tossing a football.”

The goal, of course, was to bring attention to Stiles’ deci-sion to drive around the gate, a move many have calledhypocritical by a man who has consistently come out in fa-vor of restricting motorized access to public lands in theAdirondack Park.

“The question is does the law not apply to a privilegedfew, or does it apply to all,” Aubin asked.

Aubin said what Stiles did was wrong and said it waseven more wrong to sweep it under the rug. He said theDEC’s decision not to ticket Stiles based on the fact othermotorists can drive through the gate at Lake Lila becausethey own land on the other side was flawed.

“He wasn’t trying to access private land,” Aubin said.“He was using that right-of-way to access state land, so hewas trespassing on state land.”

Aubin said his group tried to find a gate with nearly thesame set of circumstances as Stiles had at Lake Lila, butsaid they had difficulty “locating a key under rocks nearthe gates they encountered” and said they wanted to re-spect the wishes of private landowners who may havegranted a public easement.

In the end, they settled on a dirt road leading to stateland off Hardy Road in Wilmington, which was blocked bya cable but had no lock. As was the case with Stiles, therewere no signs saying motorists could not proceed nor anyno trespassing signs, Aubin said.

“We were simply celebrating Curt Stiles’ victory,” Aubinsaid. “It was all right for Curt Stiles, so it must be okay forthe rest of us.”

The question I raised in my last column remains: Doesthis set a precedent for the issuance of tickets in future cas-es where people decide to open a locked state gate to accesspublic lands?

Keith McKeever, a spokesman for the APA, said no — atleast in this instance.

“I can’t say it was precedent-setting,” McKeever said.“These guys were on state forest preserve land where nomotorized vehicles are allowed. I see that as very differ-ent.”

McKeever said it will be up to the DEC to determine ifthe group should be prosecuted.

Before the forest rangers took their leave, Aubin and hisgroup were told the state has a year to issue tickets in thecase.

“Does that mean you have a year to issue Curt Stiles aticket,” Aubin asked.

The answer was yes.

As weather patternsbegin to take a au-tumnal turn and

the pace of life slows downafter a long, somewhatdamp, tourist season; theHigh Holy Days of Autumnloom on the near horizon.

It is a time of year whentrout and salmon are on thespawn, when birds are on thewing migrating and biggame animals become nerv-ous. It is a time when sports-men and women smile andthe woods takes on a fieryglow. It’s a time when we go back to our roots.

Pickup trucks will line the backroads and camo caps orhunter ’s plaid will become the fashion of the forest. Oldfriends will gather in older cabins to tell even older storieswhile sharing a sporting tradition that spans the genera-tions. Time slows down, darkness comes early and we justcan’t wait.

Rifles that have been handed down from father to son willbe slung across a new set of shoulders to be carried over thesame hills and hummocks, swamps and stumps that theyhave traveled over before.

Sportsmen and women are the common glue that bindsthe far netherlands of the park together. It is a heritage ofthe sporting life that offers a commonality that links all usergroups in our shared passion for the outdoors. Although weremain a widely diverse population today; in lineage, ourrelatives were all hunter/gathers at one point in their exis-tence.

Like it or not, we all carry the same genetic stew in ourpackbasket. And whether we satisfy our craving for thehunt with a camera, a paddle or a .30-.30, Winchester, thefact remains, humans are an apex predator.

The sooner we accept the fact, the more likely it is that wewill get along and learn to share the commonality of ourheredity. We will learn to share the woods and waters of ourenvirons and take pleasure in the land. We will accept thatdespite our various passions; we are all passionate about theland.

Across the Adirondacks, there has long existed a dis-cernible friction between various sportsmen’s groups andthe region’s numerous environmental advocacy organiza-tions.

This friction has flared into flames on occasion at locationssuch as the Crane Pond Road or Little Green Pond; when theprotagonists and antagonists actually came to blows.

Throughout the back and forth rhetoric that typically ac-companies discussions between these two factions; there isone fact that is commonly neglected.

The fact is the modern day, environmental movement cantrace it’s heritage back to a conservation movement that be-gan with the traditions of the American sportsman.

Sadly, when the word environmentalist is mentioned,sportsmen, hunters and anglers are typically overlooked de-

spite a long and storied history of conserving and protect-ing the natural resources that we all enjoy today.

When the modern conservation movement began in theUnited States in the middle of the 19th century, sportsmenand women were it’s leaders. They understood the value ofpreserving our environment to ensure that it could be usedin a practical and sensible way.

This knowledge came as a result of their deep ties to theland and a thorough understanding of the natural process-es. They recognized the need for a balance between the pro-tection of our natural resources and the utilization of thosesame resources for the benefit of society.

When market hunting and overuse of our natural re-sources threatened the quality of American fish and wildlifestocks; sportsmen’s action prevented further loss of wildlifeand lead to the restoration of many species that were on thebrink of extinction.

American sportsmen and women achieved their uniqueappreciation for and understanding of the natural cycles offish and wildlife by putting boots to the ground and buttsin the boat. They recognized a need for preservation andprotection of the natural resources through first handknowledge and experience.

Today, sportsmen and woman continue to uphold a her-itage of environmental protection through rules of conductand the ethics of ‘fair chase’. Their appreciation of our nat-ural resources, fish and wildlife is undeniable.

Sportsmen and women are responsible for a majority ofthe contributions to Conservation funding. Funds are gen-erated through the sale of state hunting, fishing and trap-ping licenses.

Funding is also achieved through a built-in, Federal ex-cise tax which is collected on every item sold for fishing andhunting purposes. This federal tax is distributed back to thestates based on sporting license sales.

Sportsmen also contribute to conservation efforts throughthe Migratory Species Act with the mandatory purchase ofa Federal Duck Stamp which is required of all waterfowlhunters.

The Migratory Species Act actually benefits birders moreoften than hunters; since birders enjoy the inhabitants ofwetlands year-round, while hunters are limited to utilizingthe resource only during a defined season.

Sportsmen also serve as game managers. Hunting servesto control populations of birds and animals that may nolonger have adequate, natural predatory controls. It’s farbetter to have venison consumed than having it rot along theside of the road after a collision with a car.

It’s high time that the various factions begin working to-gether to find common ground and come to realize the com-monality that we share. Although we may not utilize thewoods and waters in similar fashion, the only way to insurethat the park will remain a viable, natural resource for fu-ture generations is if we are willing to work together to-wards that common goal.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing inRay Brook. Contact him at [email protected]

Environmental factions need to find common ground

Group decides to test‘precedent’ set by Stiles

“It was alrightfor Curt Stiles, soit must be okay forthe rest of us.”

— Howard Aubin

Passing it on! The future of traditional outdoor pursuits depends on sportsmen passing on their knowledge to the next genera-tion of hunters and anglers. Program such as Youth Pheasant Hunts, sponsored by the Essex County Federation of Fish andGame Clubs; provide sportsmen and women with an opportunity to share their experience.
