If you missed the multi-family yardsale for Lakeside Preschool last week-end, you have a chance to play catch

up at the Depot Theatre's Annual ColossalRummage Sale, which runs this weekend,Friday to Sunday, May 28-29. This is thepremiere event of its kind around theseparts—which is especially fitting this year,since the Depot is boldly offering an entireseason of premieres. The Depot brings a lotof people to our lovely town every year,but this year, the theatre deserves extrasupport for its courage and artistic integri-ty.

The hours for the sale are 9 a.m. to 4p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 9 a.m. to1 p.m. on Sunday. The sale features house-hold goods, appliances, electronics, tools,furniture, garden supplies, books, decora-tions, and of course lots and lots of won-derful clothing, including a large selectionof ladies' formalwear. You're sure to findsomething that you will treasure for yearsto come. The proceeds go to support theDepot, which is a non-profit, and will helppay for the line-up of shows as well as forfree events like the winter play-readings

and an array of theatre education pro-grams.

On Thursday, June 2, the Westport Li-brary Association returns with anotherevening of enchanting music, Songs fromthe Great Vintage Musicals, featuring theincomparable Russell Ames on piano. Theevent is free and open to the public, andyou're invited to come and sing along. Ican pretty much guarantee that if you canremember the words, Russell will know thetune. His knowledge of classic show tunes(and everything else) is encyclopedic andhe plays them all with his special brand oflightheartedness and mischief. If you asknicely he might even throw in a little TomLehrer.

Next time, I'll report on the public hear-ing for the proposed development at theTreadwell estate, set for Wednesday, May25. So don't worry if you missed it. Andcongratulations to the school board and toWCS Superintendent Dr. Gallagher on thepassage of the school budget. I'm proud ofthe way our community debated the issuewithout losing sight of the fact that we'reall neighbors.

Man can become a master Gardnerand produce a beautiful garden,but it is hard to out-do nature. If

you have been riding around the area in thelast couple of weeks, hopefully you noticedthe beautiful spots of color and even the vastfield of yellow that dot the country side,beautiful. The flowering trees in the down-town area are in full bloom. Rain still seemsto be in the forecast and most of us feel likewe have had enough.

It’s great to welcome John and Vivian Ballback to Willsboro. I had a great visit with BillPerkett and his wife, who are visiting hismother Marion Helms for a few days. Billgrew up here in Willsboro. Hopefully manyalumni are planning to join together at theannual Alumni Banquet on Saturday, June 25at Crickets. This event brings back severalwho attended school here in their growingup years. The Alumni organization is stilllooking for some new officers; if anyone is in-terested in serving, they should contact LarryAllen at 963-8912 and let him know of yourinterest.

It has come to my attention that, with theflooding and the economy, local businessesare struggling to stay in business. We do havea great community, but we should try hard tosupport the local business. They try hard to

keep their prices at a reasonable rate and stilloffer good service. Now, with the price ofgas, do we really save when we travel out oftown? Just keep this in mind if we want ourcommunity to stay in good shape and wel-coming to our summer guests. I am glad thatthe school budget passed along with the pur-chase of a new school bus. We welcome thetwo elected members to the school board;they do a great job and dedicate many hoursof service. The new restaurant is really takingshape and should be open soon. The commu-nity is still looking for volunteers to assist inthe special places here in town. Two events atthe Willsboro United Methodist Church com-ing soon, the annual Spring Tea & PoundAuction on Saturday, May 28 at 2 p.m. Justbring a gaily wrapped mystery gift that willbe auctioned off with the proceeds going tomission work. Their next public supper willbe on Wednesday, June 1, where they willserve roast beef. The Catholic Church is hav-ing a breakfast this weekend. So check it out.

Happy Birthday to: Ashley Ahrent, May30; Dorothy Jacques, May 30; Brianna andBeittnay Schrieber, May 31; Ada Hutchins,May 31; John Uhlig, June 1; Mary Lou Mason,June 3. Happy Anniversary to Blanche andJoe Bruno, May 30; Peg and Ken Schnieder,May 31.

Wandered downtown this past Sat-urday and Sunday. Arbro Mili-tary Surplus had its grand open-

ing and did a very nice job with it. The storelooks great and has a lot of wonderful prod-ucts very reasonably priced. While thinkingof grand openings, our own Family Dollar iscurrently celebrating its grand reopening af-ter a remodel. Hopefully the AuSable Riverwon’t overflow its banks again and come fora visit and mess things up.

I noticed the flower box outside of the li-brary looked really nice and fresh. It seemsthat earlier that day the Keeseville Elemen-tary Outdoor Education, made up of firstthrough third graders, planted flowers.Thank you for adding such beauty to ourcommunity.

This Saturday, May 28 marks the reopeningof Gofflower on Division Street. Be sure tostop over and see all the beautiful flowersthat are available.

There will also be the Harmony Golf Tour-nament to benefit the Elks and the KeesevilleFree Library. For details about this event,

please call Harmony at 834-9785.June 17 and 18 mark the dates for the an-

nual book sale at the Keeseville Free Library.So now is the time to bring in those gently-used books, that you have already read, todonate to the sale.

Summer is here and the village is startingto blossom and come alive. Renovations arenow going on at the Jaycee Park. More handsmake for easier jobs.

Don’t forget to keep working on thepaving stones. Anybody who lives in thecommunity house or apartment is encour-aged to enter.

Weather actually has been fairly nice late-ly; wonder upon wonders, I even mowed myfront yard. Now for the trim work which Ileave for my son as he loves playing with theweedwhacker. And then I’ll tackle the back-yard. But knowing me, I will finally get theback completely mowed just in time to haveto do the front again. All in all, it is so nice tobe getting fresh air again and able to enjoyour community as it continues to blossom.Stay safe and well, everyone.

By the time you read this, and with abit of luck, the ferry should be oper-ating again. Loads of gravel spread

over the submerged dock will raise it abovethe water level and permit traffic to cross thelake once more. Ginny and I watched thecrew spreading gravel, and then went over toBegg’s Park to see windwhipped wavesthreatening the gazebo. We were joined by apair of friendly gawkers from Florida whowere obviously chilled by what seemed to melike a pleasant zephyr.

This Saturday the film society is presentingfive short films at the Whallonsburg Grange.These are Oscar nominees and an Oscar win-ner from this year; the show starts at 8 p.m.

Also on Saturday, at the Essex CommunityChurch, a three piece group will be perform-ing as part of the Essex Community Concertseries. This one starts at 7:30 and will be fol-lowed by a reception where you can meet themusicians. Refreshments will be served andthe cost is $10. For more on the concert series

and workshops, check out their website at es-sexcommunityconcerts.org or es-sexnewyork.org for information on all sortsof activities in and around Essex.

On Friday evening, the Adirondack Art As-sociation opens its doors for a new seasonwith a show of the works of the late MaryGullo. This is a fundraiser for the associationwith tapas and other refreshments. It runsfrom 6 to 8 p.m.

This week at the car museum, we re-arranged the collection to bring in some newcars and send some off for the summer. I gotto drive a 1967 red Jaguar XKE convertible,which would be a great car for the July 4 pa-rade but it’s not to be lent out. Would any ofmy readers have a classy convertible they’dbe willing to let us use for the parade? Thepassenger would not be me, but a certainwell-known local personality. Valley Newscorrespondents, if they appear at all in theparade, would, of course, be on foot.

POTSDAM — Madel inePhillips, a native of Keen e,joined five other undergrad-uate students from the StateUniversity of New York Col-lege at Potsdam’s Depart-ment of Modern Languageswho attended the NationalConference on Undergradu-ate Research (NCUR), whichtook place at Ithaca Collegein Ithaca fr om Mar ch 31through April 2.

The six students, all Span-ish majors at SUNY Pots-dam, who attended the con-ference were Phillips, junior

Kat W illiams, fr eshmanKristian Einstman, juniorAndrew Bentley, junior Bre-anna Murphy and juniorRobert Leabo.

Professors Dr . OscarSarmiento and Dr . LilianaTrevizan of the modern lan-guage department accompa-nied the students at NCUR.

This week, the NC-SPCA would liketo share with you

some tips on keeping yourfurry family memberschillin' right along withyou this summer, courtesyof the health experts atWebMD. Their staff recom-mend the following forsummer comfort:

Never leave your pet in aparked car—for any lengthof time. It gets very hot,very fast, inside a parkedvehicle. That can be dead-ly, even after a short time.Keep clean, cool water onhand at all times. On reallyhot days, your pet mayeven enjoy it if you put ice

cubes in their water bowl.Shelter them from the sun.Be sure your furry friendsalways have access to ashady place to get out ofthe sun. Keep pets insidewhen it's really hot. Whenit gets close to 100 degreesFahrenheit, it can be hardfor pets to keep cool

through panting. So on re-ally hot days, bring catsand dogs indoors. Brushyour pet—daily if possible.Brushing your pet removesdead undercoat, helpingair to circulate near theskin, keeping pets cooler.

Our featured pet thisweek is Blondie, a beauti-

ful, honey-coloredLabrador Retriever/mixwho came in with her sis-ter Peanut. They have beentogether for years. Wewould very much like tosee them be adopted to-gether. They both havesweet dispositions andgentle personalities; theyget along well with every-one and will never pull ontheir leash when you go fora walk. Blondie andPeanut would make foryou the best company ever.If you are thinking aboutadopting one of them, per-haps you would considerboth?

Phillips presents at national convention

For many World War II veter-ans, visiting the NationalWorld War II Memorial in

Washington, D.C. is high on theirbucket list. And thanks to an organi-zation called Patriot Flight, Inc. —based in New York’s capital region —some northern New York veteranshave been able to cross this trip offtheir list.

Opening in 2004, the memorial hon-ors the 16 million U.S. men and womenwho served in the military , and theroughly 400,000 Americans who diedduring World War II. It is located be-tween Constitution and IndependenceAvenues. And that’s a gr eat tidbit toknow, for those who have the time andmoney to travel to our nation’s capital,but many aging W orld War II vets ar eon fixed incomes and can’t af ford the

trip. And a lot of them have limited mo-bility, in wheelchairs, and have specialhealth care needs, such as oxygen, thatmake the trip difficult.

Enter Patriot Flight. This volunteergroup flies World War II veterans fromupstate New York to see the NationalWorld War II Memorial in Washington,D.C. for free.

Inspired by a program in Springfield,Ohio — Honor Flight Network, Inc. —Patriot Flight began transporting vetsto the nation’s capital in 2008, joiningmore than 100 other groups throughoutthe U.S. affiliated with the Honor FlightNetwork, which was founded in 2005.In New York, there are similar gr oupsin Long Island, Rochester and Buf falo.Plus, there is another group — Leather-stocking Honor Flight — that flies outof Albany.

One local veteran — Kenneth Coon-rod, of Willsboro — made the trip April23. Coonrod enlisted in the U.S. Navyin December 1944 and served in the Pa-cific Theater, in places like Guam andOkinawa, until 1946.

“It was far above what I ever expect-ed it to be,” Coonrod said of the memo-

rial and the Patriot Flight trip. No Patriot Flight trips ar e curr ently

scheduled. As funding becomes avail-able through donations, they schedulemore tours.

When there is a trip, it only takes oneday. The 15-hour tour starts at 6 a.m. inLatham. Vets fly a Southwest planefrom Albany International Airport toBaltimore, where they hop on a bus andride to W ashington, D.C. for the day .After d inner, t hey r e-trace t heir s tepsand make it back to Albany by 9 p.m.

Special needs, such as wheelchairs,can be met. About 30 percent of the vet-erans who have taken trips so far haverequired wheelchairs, and the deluxemotorcoaches ar e equipped withwheelchair lifts. World War II veteranswho are terminally ill are given specialpriority. Those who r equire oxygenmust make arrangements ahead oftime, as oxygen tanks ar e not allowedon flights.

Patriot Flight is an important organ-ization at an important time, and it isone with a limited life span, given thecurrent mission of pr oviding “our r e-maining World War II veterans the

chance to personally view the memori-al that was built to recognize their sac-rifice to our nation.”

We ask people to consider donatingto Patriot Flight but not to wait toolong. At an average age of 85, more than1,200 World War II veterans are dyingevery day. Patriot Flight calls its mis-sion “ur gent,” and our time to saythank-you is quickly running out.

For some veterans, the NationalWorld War II Memorial is the last thingthey’d like to see befor e they die.Please, h elp m ake t heir d reams c ometrue.

For applications, donation forms andmore information, call Patriot Flight at(518) 459-2857 ext. 331 or visit online atpatriotflightinc.com. Learn more aboutHonor Flight at honorflight.org.

This just seems plainwrong to me! Froma very young age,

we’ve been taught to respectauthority. This land of thefree we all treasure so dearlywas built on the concept of ajudicial system that providedequality and fairness andwas blind to the rich andpowerful and governmentaloverreach. It’s a simple con-cept that is known and un-derstood worldwide.

Then why is Sandy Lewisbeing treated so unfairly? After proving incourt and thr ough appeal that the LewisFamily Farm in Essex was well within itsright to constr uct housing for its workers,New York State now seeks to have the finalchapter of this case removed from therecord, as though it never took place.

Never took place? That’sright, the state wants to pr e-tend this case never hap-pened. They want no record oftheir failur e of driving thecosts much higher than wasneeded and then r emoval allrecord of it’s r eimbursementof those legal costs to theLewis Family Farm.

It’s clear that the Adiron-dack Park Agency doesn’thave an appetite for beingtold it was wrong. This outra-geous move would be like the

New England Patriots a few years back, af-ter p osting a n u ndefeated s eason h eadinginto the Super Bowl, and then after losing tothe New York Giants in that final game, de-claring the game never took place and r e-maining undefeated.

The arr ogance of this move goes far be-

yond any definition of fairness or justice. Ina nutshell, the state has now been told by thecourts that they must r eimburse the LewisFamily Farm for at least a portion of the le-gal expenses incurred defending themselvesagainst the actions brought by the APA. Ah,but wait. The state wants one more chance totip the scales of justice. Befor e any r eim-bursement is awarded, the record on makingthis payment must disappear . No r emoval,no check.

Is this fair or right? How do we teach thosein our society to own up to their mistakesand learn from them if we allow our govern-ment agencies to run rough shot over its cit-izens and get away with it? Let’s face it, wepaid for the government’s action thr oughour taxes. They have nothing personally tolose. What’s the down side for them whensomeone has the nerve to challenge one of

Alexanderfrom page 6

their rulings? They have the power andfinances to bury a private citizen and, byattempting to remove or hide any portionof the public r ecord, it send a very clearmessage … Don’t mess with us!

When a child continues to steal and theonly punishment is to give the item backto i ts r ightful owner , i f the owner canprove it was theirs to begin with, whatlesson is learned? So long as you can get

away with i t , why not take everythingyou want anytime you want? The lessonlearned is s imple. Keep doing i t unti lsomeone puts a stop to it and ther e is alevel of punishment commensurate withthe act.

Government must be held to the high-est standard possible given its unlimitedresources and when pr oven wr ong, r e-peatedly, should face some sort of restric-tions or censorship. They have no skin inthe contest, and with nothing to lose, itonly serves to empower them al l the

more. Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he wantsto improve ethics at the state governmentlevel. This is the perfect time for the Gov-ernor to send a clear message that thoseof us living in the Adirondack Park haverights, too!

As citizens, we all owe a gr eat deal ofgratitude to Sandy and Barbara Lewis forstanding up to the APA and the State ofNew York. Very few among us would haveor could have taken the actions they did,and that’s what’s at the root of this issue.The APA knows they can have their way ,

interpret the r ules any way they see fit,and the average citizen has little choicebut to cave in to their demands or risk los-ing everything.

It’s time for the APA and the state to ad-mit they wer e wr ong and let ef fects oftheir actions remain on the r ecord for allto know that they are not invincible. Theymust learn to deal with the average citi-zen in a fair, equitable way and not as thebig bully they have proven to be time andtime again.

The Essex County Republican, May 1880ESSEX — Possibly your Willsboro correspondent, who

seems happy over the fact that a single mer chant in W .has received more goods at the Willsboro’ depot than allthe Essex merchants together, may not know that we havea freight depot in Essex, where a large part of the goodssold here are brought by boat. The hit on the Horse NailFactory did not hurt anybody , although we ar e a littlesensitive on that subject. We have been disappointed be-cause of failures encountered hitherto, but perhaps theywill do us good. Any rate everything looks well now. Thebusiness has taken a new and appar ently a favorableturn. We of Essex rejoice in the prosperity of Willsboro”.Her merchants were largely trained in Essex; one of herpulp mills is run by an essex man; her forge is owned andrun by a native and almost life-long resident of Essex; thewater to carry her machinery comes from Essex; Essex hasquite largely educated her sons and daughters. Finally asthe pr eacher says, her r oads all lead towar ds Essex. Inview of these facts it is natural that we should rejoice overthe prosperity of Willsboro.

BOSTON — The Panorama, that has been the cause ofnot a little excitement, as we find by looking over theBoston papers, is in full blast in the literary metropolis ofNew England. We copy the following notice as evidencethe most positive that we have tidings of the Panorama.

Y. M. C. Union-Adir ondacks and the Gr eat AusableChasm. The announcement that an exhibition (with fulldescription of Pr of. Ellenwood’s lar ge paintings ofscenery in the Adirondacks and Gr eat Ausable Chasmwould be given filled the Union Hall last evening withmembers and lady friends-the above very attractive andinstructive programme having been provided by the com-mittee as the r egular Wednesday evening entertainmentof the week. These series of paintings by Prof. Ellenwood

are the work of more than twenty years faithful study ofthe wildest and most grand and romantic natural sceneryeast of the Rocky Mountains, and wer e executed by askillful artist, who has made a life work of painting finelandscapes, having studied the art in Germany, Italy andParis, and in this country under Church. Each painting isa valuable work of art, and would make a fine parlorscene. The descriptive lectur e by Pr of. Keese was espe-cially interesting and instructive to all.

The above appears in the Boston Journal of May 20th.Similar notices appear in the traveler , Advertiser andTranscript. Professor Keese, we are happy to say, is com-petent to speak in behalf of our Great Northern Show, andwe wish the parties having the Panorama in char ge themost abundant success.

The Essex County Republican, May 1938KEENE — In Supr eme Court at Elizabethtown on

Thursday, Justice Ellsworth C. Lawr ence dismissed thecomplaint of Mrs. May Betters of Saranac Lake againstSolomon, Hyman and Anna Drutz, Saranac Lake grocers,and R. C. W illiams Company incorporated distributorsand of her husband, Percy, as against the R. C. Williams.The jury returned a no cause for action verdict in the hus-band’s action against the Drutz’.

A jury Friday afternoon r eturned ver dicts totaling$12,200 in favor of Arthur Senecal and his wife Daisy, ofKeene V alley, in their automobile negligence actionsagainst Samuel Thorne and his daughter, Emeline, of NewYork, winter sports visitors to the Keene V alleysection.Mrs. Senecal received $11,000 of the amount andher husband was awar ded the r emainder. The actionsarose from an automobile accident near the Senecal homeJanuary 2.

Mr. and Mrs. Senecal were leaving the driveway of their

home when their car, driven by Mr. Senecal, figured in acollision with a car driven by Emeline Thorne and ownedby her father. Mr. and Mrs. Senecal were severely injured.Mr. and Mrs. Senecal were represented by the law firm ofR. Prime and Soden of Lake Placid, while the defense tes-timony was pr esented by Clif ford W . McCormick ofSaranac Lake.

SCHROON LAKE — A carrier pigeon, released from thetower of the Empire State Building by Mr. and Mrs. JackDempsey, spread its wings at 11:20 A. M. on Tuesday andarrived at 4 P. M. at Scaroon Manor, bringing the first hon-eymoon reservation this season to the summer resort. Thepigeon was released by the former heavy-weight champi-on of the world in the presence of a group of other celebri-ties and about twenty newspapermen. Joseph Frieber, ge-nial pr oprietor of Scar oon Manor , was on hand to wel-come the first honeymoon couple, Mr. and Mrs. James Pa-truccio of Passaic, N. J. who arrived Wednesday.

The Ticonderoga Sentinel, May 1949TICONDEROGA — The Larrabees Point Ferry, which op-

erates on Lake Champlain between the terminus of the FortTiconderoga road and the opposite Vermont shore, ran awayThursday evening with a honeymoon couple aboard.

The all-steel pontoon floated ferry snapped its cable in apowerful north wind a few minutes after leaving the V er-mont landing on the last trip of the day with Mr . and Mrs.Herman of Baltimore aboard in their car. The Navy LC boatwhich supplies the power to drive the ferry on its cable wasunable to handle the large steel barge. Driven down the lakeby the wind, the ferry beached itself at a point about a half-mile south of the New York Landing.

Realizing that nothing could be done until the wind sub-sided the operator unhitched the LC from the ferry and tookthe Hermans back to Ticonderoga.

The rest of the storyTo the Valley News:I wanted to give a happy ending to my

missing pr operty saga. I r eceived a call onSunday fr om the person who mistakenlytook my pr operty at the end of my drive-way. The caller believed the items were freeand apologized pr ofusely. She is going topurchase some of the items and r eturn therest.

That call restored my faith in humans andkudos to the caller for being so honest.

“It is a very interactiveexhibition,” Vice PresidentFrank Kinnelly said. “Y oucan watch the movies thatwe h ave. And a l ot o f t heexhibits have doors thatyou can open to learnmore.”

The museum houses sev-

eral r ooms, which includea look at the women of theUnderground Railr oadmovement, a movie detail-ing the story of a slave whofound fr eedom in Bloom-ingdale, and the r ole thatchurches played in the Un-derground Railr oad move-ment in the area.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Local studentsthroughout the r egion have been able tolearn more about HIV/AIDS while help-ing to bring smiles to those afflicted withthe disease.

Operation Teddy Bear, which has beenconducted in W estport, Elizabethtown-Lewis, Willsboro and Cr own Point Cen-tral Schools, as well as Saranac Lake Mid-dle School, through the Essex County De-partment of Public Health, helps studentslearn more about the disease while creat-ing teddy bears that are sent to patients.

“This is a pr ogram that promotes HIVawareness and gives them a chance tomake a difference,” Kathy Daggett, direc-tor of pr eventative services with the

ECDPH,said. “Stu-dents ar etaughtdifferentthingsabout HIVand theimmunesystem,how HIVaffects thebody, a ndalso aboutbullyingand thestigmathat can

be attached to someone living with HIV .It’s education and awareness on the mat-

ter.”Daggett said that after the discussions,

the students are then challenged to createa teddy bear to give to someone who is af-fected by the disease.

“The variety of ways that the studentspersonalize them ar e so cute,” Daggettsaid. “You can tell that they put a lot of ef-fort and thoughtfulness into their cr e-ations.”

“Operation Teddy Bear is a unique pro-gram that allows students the opportuni-ty to show kindness to others while learn-ing a great deal about HIV and other com-municable diseases,” Rebecca Lewis,health teacher at ELCS, said. “This type ofeducation will help in the pr evention ofdisease and will also help foster a gener-ation that is compassionate to others r e-gardless of their medical status.”

WESTPORT — MemorialDay weekend is usually aperfect time for an eveningout, dining at one of West-port’s lakeside restaurants.

This year , you’r e goingto need a snorkel.

Congressman Bill Owenssaw for himself the impactthe flooding on LakeChamplain is having on lo-cal businesses when hetoured the Lake Champlainshoreline in Essex CountyMay 19, stopping at the

Westport Marina, amongother places.

“It ’s a disaster ,” LarryCarroll of the Westport Ma-rina said. “The damagesare looking at about$250,000 and up.”

“It’s har d to belive thepower of natur e until yousee things l ike this,”Owens said. “It looks likepeople built their housesand their businesses rightin the middle of the lake.How can you possibly an-ticipate a 500-year f lood?And ther e is no way thatyou can afford to.”

Owens a lso s aid t hat h eis awar e of the issues thatare brought up by the lossof businesses, like the Ma-rina and the local beachesin Moriah.

“The loss of the ability ofthese places to operate cre-ates problems for the entirecommunity,” he said.

Westport supervisorDaniel Connell agreed.

“We have no cluewhether any of the thr eelakeside r estaurants (the

Galley at the marina, theBistro and Normandie) willbe back for the summer ornot,” Connell said. “Thesebusinesses are so critical toour town. You have peoplewho boat into town andthen go golfing or stay atthe inns. It ’s going tohurt.”

Owens also looked atdamage in other ar eas, in-cluding Camp Dudley inWestport and the Essex fer-ry dock.

WESTPORT — Three or-ganizations hope that betterinformation will lead to betterresults when it comes to a voteon a new home.

The town of Westport, West-port V olunteer Fir e Depart-ment and W estport CentralSchool District will again sub-mit a pr oposal for a new mu-nicipal center to the voters onTuesday, July 19.

“This will be decided by thevoters,” town supervisorDaniel Connell said. “We wentback and started out fr ompage one and we are present-

ed what we feel is the mostcost-effective option to thevoters.”

Connell said that after theoriginal vote in June 15, 2010,came out against a new build-ing that would house servicesfor all three entities, the com-mittee went back to square oneto find alternatives.

“We looked at the engineer-ing report, talked to people inVermont about different mate-rials for the structure, lookedat building separate buildingsinstead of one and r eviewedthe finances again,” Connellsaid. “We went fr om start tofinish, and in the long term,the single structure is the mostfeasible option economically.”

Connell said that the cr e-ation of a new building wouldalso be more cost effective thenrepairing the curr ent townhall.

“We looked at a comparisonwith the r enovations that ar eneeded at the town offices, andit will be in the ballpark ofabout $200,000 cheaper tobuild a new structure.”

Connell said that the cur-rent town hall needs majorrenovations, starting with thefoundation.

“The building is falling of fits foundation in the back,” hesaid. “The whole structure hasshifted, and this would be ma-jor rehab t o g et t he b uildingwhere it needs to be.”

Connell said that the build-ing committee, which is madeup of r epresentatives fr omeach organization, was sched-uled to meet May 19 to chart acourse of action.

“We want to make sure thatwe get everything out there tothe voters,” Connell said.

The joint municipal centerwhich would house the West-port town of fices, W estportDepartment of Public Works, amaintenance and fueling facil-ity for use by all municipali-ties, including W estport Cen-tral School, and the W estportVolunteer Fire Department.

Almost a year ago, a similarproposition was defeated byjust seven votes.

WILLSBORO — A local group is try-ing to bring about a place where fami-lies can go to remember.

“Our hopes are that it will be a placefor relatives to be able to go to and getsome sort of p eace with their grief,”Lori Provost said.

Provost has dealt with that grief, asshe lost a son, Andrew Jacques, whenhe was 7.

“That was 23 years ago, so this issomething that I have been thinkingabout for a long time,” Provost said. “Ihad the idea initially as something thatnot only would help myself cope butalso help others.”

Along with Provost, members of the

group t o c reate t he m emorial g ardeninclude Larry Allen, Linda Heintz, Ly-man Mero, Peter Rowley, sandi Craigand Pastor Jan Jorgensen.

The group has land already set asidethat was donated by the Willsboro Me-morial Cemetery, and will be having adedication ceremony at the site June 18at 2 p.m.

“The land will be blessed and we willbe laying the cornerstone for the gar-den then,” Provost said. “We are hop-ing to include a labyrinth, a gazebo andthe Angel of Hope statue on the site aswe work at it.”

Provost said that the Angel of Hopestatute was the first thing that shewanted to have for the garden.

“That was something that has al-ways been on my mind,” she said.

Provost said that the garden anditems that will be part of it would bepaid for purely by fundraising.

“We are doing this project simply bydonation, so as you can imagine, wewill n eed a ll o f t he h elp t hat w e c anget,” Provost said.

Provost said that curr ently, thegroup is selling cr ocheted angels thatwere made by her mother and will alsobe selling memorial stones.

“We are going to be looking to do raf-fles, dinners, a walk-a-thon, anythingthat we can do to raise funds,” Provostsaid. “We are just getting started withour planning.”

For mor e information on the Chil-dren’s Memorial Gar den, contactProvost at 963-431 1 or Larry Allen at572-6659.

Featuring PeggyLynn concert, local veteraninterviews

By Andy [email protected]

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE— M ore t han a d ozen l ocalveterans will be honor edthis Memorial Day weekendduring a Tribute to theTroops multimedia event inIndian Lake, Long Lake andTupper Lake.

The program, sponsoredby the Adirondack LakesCenter for the Arts, will fea-ture the scr eening of pr e-recorded interviews withU.S. servicemen and womenand a concert by singer -songwriter Peggy L ynn, ac-companied by her husband,award-winning hammer ed

dulcimer player Dan Dug-gan.

The Tribute to the T roopswill be held thr oughout theMemorial Day weekend: 7p.m. Saturday, May 28 at theIndian Lake Theater; 7 p.m.Sunday, May 29 at the T up-per Lake High School; and 4p.m. Monday, May 30 at theLong Lake Town Hall.

“It’s an i mportant s aluteto the troops in the area, do-ing it in an artistic way, hav-ing them tell their own sto-ries,” said Erin Barton, man-aging director at the ArtsCenter.

The pr ogram is designedto pay tribute to veterans —men and women — whoserved in all branches of the

U.S. military . In keepingwith this theme, the of ficialsongs of all branches will beperformed, and veterans ofthose branches will be askedto stand up and be r ecog-nized.

Video tributeAlex Roalsvig, tourism di-

rector for the T own of LongLake Department of Parksand Recr eation, conductedall 19 of the video inter-views, 18 men and onewoman. She visited thehomes of six veterans inLong Lake, videotaped threevets at the American LegionParker-Benton Post 1392 inIndian Lake, and workedwith Beth Johnson to speak

with 10 veterans in T upperLake. These particular veter-ans served in World War II,the Korean War, the VietnamWar and Operation Endur-ing Freedom in Afghanistan.

For Roalsvig, this was away to hear stories from thefront lines, stories she didnot hear from her late father,who served in the militaryduring the Cold War.

“I hope people will get asense of sacrifice and com-mitment of our servicemen,”she said. “It’s a slice of his-tory, particularly to theAdirondacks, of those whohave seen the world andcome back to settle here.”

Conducting the inter-views was an “eye opener”

for Roalsvig, and shelearned that serving in themilitary is a team effort, oneyou can’t understand unlessyou serve, fighting side-by-side with others.

“It’s bigger than they are,”she said.

Roalsvig will be cata-loging more than 12 hours ofvideo to create a DVD of seg-ments for the T ribute to theTroops program.

Musical tributeMeanwhile, Peggy L ynn

and Dan Duggan are arrang-ing and practicing their mu-sic.

One original song —“Dear Dad” — was inspir ed

by a soldier ’s wife whowanted to send a musical Fa-ther ’s Day message from herthree little boys to their fa-ther serving in Iraq. Oncethe song was complete, theyall sang the song to Dad onFather ’s Day online — usingthe Skype video service. Thecouple now has four boysand a girl.

Pete Seeger ’s “Waist Deepin the Big Muddy” will be onthe playlist. This song, writ-ten in 1967, was made fa-mous because CBS initiallyrefused to let Seeger per-form it on the SmothersBrothers Comedy Hour ,deeming it as anti-establish-ment during the V ietnamWar.

School Boar d Pr esident Phil ip Baum-bach was reelected with 476 votes.

Voters also reelected board members MikeDechene and Mark Yamrick – both ran un-opposed. A proposition to purchase two newschool buses also passed.

“Tupper Lake supports education,” de-clared Dechene after hearing the election re-sults T uesday evening. He r eceived 389votes and Yamrick netted 404 votes.

Out of a total of 489 votes cast, 367 were

Instead, Superintendent Seth McGowanand other key staf f will take over those r e-sponsibilities. There were other administra-tive staff cuts but no instructional positionswere eliminated this year.

SARANAC LAKE —North Country Congr ess-man Bill Owens was inSaranac Lake the morningof May 19 to view first-hand the damage causedby recent flooding.

Owens, the Democratrepresenting New York’s23rd Congr essional Dis-trict, is assessing the dam-age himself so he can pro-vide testimony to representatives of the Feder-al Emergency Management Agency. Of ficialshope Pr esident Barack Obama will declar enorthern New York a federal disaster area.

Saranac Lake Village Manager John Sweeneyguided Owens on the tour . Sweeney saystrustees will discuss hiring engineers to overseerepairs to public infrastr ucture during nextweek’s regular board meeting.

“We will be shortly hiring engineers to comein, hopefully after Monday’s meeting,” he said.“Then will move forward with it. Really, that’skind of what we’re talking about – what kind ofadditional information do we need? We’re stillearly in the process, we’re going to continue tobe in a flood situation at least until the rain letsup – we’ll go from there.”

So far, Sweeney estimates about $6 million indamage to village infrastructure.

“That’s for public infrastr ucture and that isour best estimate based on the information we

have,” he said. “We’re going to have the engi-neers come in and re-confirm.”

For Owens, witnessing the flood damageacross his district has been a harrowing experi-ence.

“It’s overwhelming,” he said. “When you seewhat Mother Nature can do, it’s incredible. Thereal c oncern, ob viously, i s t he n eed f or w aterlevels to go down so we can see what the extentof the damage is. Given the way it’s movingnow, and given the rain we’ve had this week –and there’s more rain pr edicted over the nextseveral days – I think it’s going to be a while be-fore we get a sense of how much damage wasactually done.”

In all, damages to public property in FranklinCounty are estimated at over $12 million. EssexCounty is seeing similar numbers, and Owenssays when it’s all said and done, the region willhave no pr oblem r eaching the $25 millionplateau needed to receive federal disaster aid.

TUPPER LAKE — North Country Con-gressman Bill Owens and of ficials fr omthe village of Tupper Lake surveyed dam-ages to municipal infrastructure and pri-vate pr operty on May 20 in the wake ofrecord flooding earlier this spring.

“Mother Natur e has r eared her uglyhead this year ,” Owens r emarked as hetraveled thr ough neighbor hoods still r e-covering after heavy snowfalls this win-ter gave way to record flooding in April.

Owens, the Democrat r epresentingNew York’s 23rd Congressional District,said federal dollars are likely to pour inat some point to help repair and improveinfrastructure and aid flood victims. Hedid not put a t imetable on when thosefunds might become available.

But he said it was important for him tosee the damage f irsthand because i twould help him explain to the FederalEmergency Management Agency why theNorth Country needs its help.

The congressman’s visit is part of a re-gion-wide survey of flood damage fr omLake Champlain to Tupper Lake.

Owens, who was accompanied by vil-

lage Mayor Mickey Desmarais, FranklinCounty Emergency Services Director RickProvost and village Police Chief Tom Fee,visited parts of the community that werehit the worst by flooding, including W a-ter Street, River Road and Raquette RiverDrive, where damage was done to a sew-er pump station that flooded.

Lake and river levels r emain at least afoot above normal but have come downseveral feet s ince their peak levelsaround the end of April.

Residents have already begun recover-ing fr om damages but Pr ovost saidthere’s a lot of work to do befor e thingsare back to normal. The basement of onehome was being excavated, firewood andother debris were strewn around people’slawns and debris lines wer e visible sev-eral feet of f the gr ound on lawns andchain link fences.

Provost said a great deal of damage re-mained inside many homes and business-es as well, including mold and septic sys-tem breaches.

Owens said the cost of the flood dam-age far exceeded the level FEMA requiresand that he was confident that assistancefor r ebuilding the community’s infra-structure would be forthcoming.

Chazy earns top seed in playoffs by ousting Beagles in MVAC’sBy Keith [email protected]

KEENE V ALLEY — The Chazy Eaglestook advantage of the br eaks and eliminat-ed several Westport/Keene Beagles from thebasepaths as they claimed a birth in theMountain and V alley Athletic Confer encechampionship game, as well as the top seedin the Section VII/Class D playoffs.

The Eagles scored a 7-3 win over the Bea-gles May 23 in the MV AC Division I v . IIplayoff game.

“I thought that we were very good defen-sively,” head coach Brian Nor cross said af-ter the game. “Nathan Reynolds (winningpitcher with 5.1 innings, two earned r uns)pitched well and when the game was tight,Ricky Osier (who earned a save with 1.1 in-nings and three strikeouts) came in and shutthe door.”

Kyle Bissonette scor ed the first two r unsof the game for the Eagles, scoring on a wildpitch after reaching on an err or in the first,and then scoring on a thr owing error in thethird, which also scored Kaleb Snide.

The Eagles opened the game up in thesixth, when John T regan scor ed on a KyleMcCarthy squeeze bunt, Michael R ybascored on a Craig Botten single, and Bottenscored on a Bissonette single.

“Craig had a big RBI hit for us in the sixthinning,” Norcross said.

Osier scored the final r un of the game ona wild pitch in the seventh.

As well as scoring runs, the Eagles defense

prevented runs from scoring, as they pickedoff five Beagle runners off the bases.

“Kyle McCarthy made some great throwsfor us at catcher,” Norcross said. “Our pitch-ers all hold runners well and get the ball tothe plate quick.”

“Every time that we got something going,something would happen and they wouldmake a play ,” W estport/Keene co-headcoach Don Markwica said. “W e shot our-selves in the foot. W e didn’t play soundbaseball and Chazy is a team that will makeyou pay for that.”

The lone Beagles rally came in the sixth in-

ning, when James Bell, Max V an Wie andEthan Markwica all scored on scoring playsmade by Markwica (single), Alex Fr um(bases loaded walk) and Kevin Russell(bases loaded walk).

Osier then came on in relief for the Eagles,striking out thr ee of the final five batterwhile giving up a hit to Bell in the seventh.

After the game, Norcross said that he felthis team was where they needed to be at thestart of sectionals.

“We have some depth at pitching that willhelp us out and I feel we ar e playing somegood baseball,” he said.

Cuomo hits onconference center, jail closuresBy Keith [email protected]

LAKE PLACID — New York State Gover-nor Andrew Cuomo outlined his vision inseveral areas of state politics during a visitto Lake Placid May 19.

Here are comments on several of the top-ics that Cuo-mo covered:

Confer-ence Centerof LakePlacid - “Iwant to con-gratulate youon this finenew confer-ence centerthat came inon time andon budget.”

The T riLakes - “It’sgreat to comeup and playhookey when I don’t feel like being gover-nor for a day.”

Budget reform - “Now we must look to lo-cal governments and the taxation that comesfrom them. W e have some of the highestproperty taxes in the nation; and the top 15property taxing counties in the nation ar ehere... Businesses will leave, and people willleave, and we know this because we are ex-periencing it.”

Spending - “We need to have a new atti-tude about spending. We spend more in ed-ucation spending than any other state, andwe are 34th in results.”

Ethics reform - “It’s better and mor e ef-fective to stop the wr ong-doing in the firstplace by changing the r ules... It’s a simpleissue of trust. Until the state government re-forms, they are not going to have that trust.”

Social issues - “We have been a leader insocial progress... We will look back 5-to-10years from now and say that we cannot be-lieve that there were states that did not havemarriage equality.”

His legislative agenda - “Tell your repre-sentative to pass these bills or do not comehome... We ar e making pr ogress that wehave not made in years.”

Prison closures - “We are going thr oughthe pr ocess and will be making announce-ments on that within the next severalweeks.”

Flooding - “We are working with the lo-cal governments and I have traveled someof the areas myself.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo talks to themedia in Lake Placid.


LAKE PLACID — Governor Andrew Cuo-mo took his “People First Campaign” to theOlympic region Wednesday, where he contin-ued to rally support for his legislative agen-da.

Before the curr ent session ends June 20,Cuomo wants to enact meaningful ethics r e-form, cap property taxes, and pass marriageequality legislation.

Cuomo says he has the people on his side– and what happens in the next several weekswill r eveal what side lawmakers in Albanyare on.

More than 200 people packed the brandnew Conference Center at Lake Placid to hearCuomo lay out his agenda and his goals forthe current legislative session.

Before Cuomo took to the podium, SaranacLake Mayor Clyde Rabideau told onlookersthat the North Country hasn’t r eceived thismuch attention fr om Albany since anotherCuomo was in office decades ago.

“Here in the North Country , we’re not r e-ally used to getting a lot of attention from Al-bany, much less than the governor himself,”he said. “Unless of course we reflect upon thefirst Governor [Mario] Cuomo – who visitedthe North Country many times and was atremendous partner and ally in our econom-ic development.”

North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi alsoheaped praise upon Cuomo, noting that hehas str ong support among taxpayers, busi-ness owners, and elected officials as he looksto capitalize on the momentum he beganbuilding during the budget season.

“The politicians in Albany may not want todo it, but we know, and the governor knows,that this agenda is what this state needs to getback on the right track,” he said.

And it was that appar ent disconnect be-tween lawmakers and the people that under-scored Cuomo’s presentation. At every turn,Cuomo seemed to draw a line in the sand –with him and the people of New York on oneside, the state Legislature on the other.

He did dole out some cr edit, noting thatlawmakers passed an on-time budget earlierthis spring – a budget that made substantivechanges in Albany.

“This was a much different experience thanin the past,” Cuomo said. “The budget washonest; there were no gimmicks in it; it wasbalanced; and it was on-time. Governmentactually performed.”

But that’s where the praise stopped. Turn-ing to property taxes, Cuomo told the crowdthat New York counties rank among the toptier nationwide. On average, pr operty own-ers in the U.S. pay about $1,900 in taxes an-nually.

In New York, that number nearly doublesto $3,700.

“The very simple tr uth is that New Yorkhas no economic futur e as the tax capitol ofthe nation,” Cuomo said. “Businesses willleave, people will leave – we know that, be-cause we’re experiencing it.”

Cuomo’s plan would cap pr operty tax

growth for school districts and local govern-ments at 2 per cent or the rate of inflation,whichever is less. And his plan leaves littlewiggle r oom for governments who have noother choice – for school boards, it would takea 60 percent vote to pass a budget raising tax-es mor e than the governor ’s cap. For localgovernments, it would r equire a two-thir dsvote by lawmakers.

This proposal has been a hit with taxpay-ers, but not everyone is sold.

“Everybody wants a property tax cap, butnobody wants the services cut that ar e pro-vided to them,” said Randy Douglas, whochairs the Essex County Boar d of Supervi-sors.

He says the governor needs to attach mean-ingful mandate relief to a cap on tax growth.Otherwise, governments like Essex Countywill be forced to make significant cuts to serv-ices.

“The governor’s cut this year was $300,000out of home health car e for Essex County ,”Douglas explained. “If a pr operty tax capwent thr ough, it’s $130,000 and every$130,000 is one percent on the tax levy. Rightthere, if we cut that program, there’s our twopercent. Those are the issues we’re faced within Essex County as government officials.”

Cuomo is calling for mandate r elief andDouglas says he’s confident that specific ac-tion is forthcoming.

In addition to a pr operty tax cap, Cuomoalso wants lawmakers to pass real, meaning-ful ethics reform in this session.

That means establishing an independentethics commission and mandatory disclosureof outside business dealings.

“My bill says, disclose to the public privateclients that you r epresent befor e the stategovernment,” Cuomo said. “And disclosehow much they pay you for that service. Andmy point is that when you r efuse to answerthat question, you just did answer that ques-tion.”

With pictures of disgraced politicians likeAlan Hevesi and Joe Bruno flashing across ascreen to his right, Cuomo said the notion ofa self-policing legislatur e is outdated –laughable even.

“Self policing is an oxymor on,” he said.“By definition there’s no such concept as self-policing. We need an independent monitor torestore faith, so people know that’s a govern-ment that works for them in Albany and youdeserve that and you’re going to get it.”

This week’s event had all the flair and en-ergy of a campaign stop – while speaking ona tax cap and ethics r eform, the entir e roomburst into applause, interr upting Cuomo’sspeech.

But when Cuomo spoke of marriage equal-ity, pockets of spectators were noticeably re-served.

And this particular agenda item mightprove to be the biggest challenge for a gover-nor who, up to this point, has experiencednothing but victory . Passage of a gay mar-riage bill is a sur e bet in the Democrat-con-trolled Assembly – but the Senate’s GOP ma-jority could r epresent a major r oadblock forCuomo.

Cuomo says legalizing gay marriage wouldrestore New York as a leader in pr ogressivepolitics.

“Five, ten years fr om now, we will lookback and say , ‘We can’t believe ther e wer estates that didn’t allow gay people to marryjust because they were gay,’” he said.

Cuomo is calling his agenda the “people’sagenda.” He wants all three of these bills onhis desk by June 20 – if that doesn’t happen,he warns that legislators shouldn’t bother go-ing home.

For Cuomo, the coming weeks r epresent aphilosophical battle for contr ol of govern-ment.

“Will the government r espond to the peo-ple of this state, the citizens of this state, orthe lobbyists who r oam the hallways in Al-bany?” he asked. “It’s about the people ver-sus the politicians. And who’s going to win?Well, ar e we going to put the people first?That depends on you. It depends on what youdo.”

And what Cuomo wants is for New York-ers to tighten the screws on lawmakers. Withrecent polls showing overwhelming supportfor his agenda, that wish just might cometrue.

No cats, no dogsThe Great North Woods continue to

become a little less wild, followinganother announcement from the

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In March 2011, the agency removed fed-

eral protection for the eastern cougar, afterextensive reviews revealed no evidence ofan existing breeding population in theeastern United States.

Researchers believe the Eastern cougarsubspecies has been extinct since a trapperin Somerset County, Maine, killed the lastconfirmed eastern mountain lion in 1938.

More recently, on May 5, 2011, the Fishand Wildlife Service proposed a new ruleto eliminate federal protection for wolvesthroughout the central and eastern U.S.

According to the USFWS proposal, thespecial regulation for the Eastern DistinctPopulation Segment (DPS) was based onresearch indicating the gray wolf is nolonger considered a native species in thenortheast. The agency now recognizes theeastern wolf (Canis lycaon) as the onlywolf native to the northeast, and theagency will evaluate it “for possible pro-tection under the Act in the near future.”

The special regulation for the EasternDistinct Population Segment (DPS) appliesto wolves in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island,Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire,and Maine.

The persecution of wolves by human isthe primary reason for the decline ofwolves across North America, Humans arethe largest single cause of wolf mortalityand the only cause that can significantlyaffect wolf populations at recovery levels.

Studies indicate that wolves require re-mote wild areas, with a wide range of preyanimals. In the northeast, whitetail deerhave historically filled this role. However,in a study conducted in Minnesota, re-searchers determined that road density

also plays asignificantrole in theability ofwolves toestablish apresence.

The studydiscoveredthat wolvesrequire aroad densitythat doesnot exceed .9miles ofhighway persquare mile of land, the current road densi-ty of the Adirondack Park. Road densityis not an indicator of potential road kill,rather it is an indication of the ease atwhich humans can access wolf habitat toharass, trap or shoot them.

Research indicates that wolves were pri-marily extirpated from the northeasternUnited States by 1900. However, therehave been a number of credible observa-tions of wolves reported in the Northeastthroughout the 20th century.

According to various reports, a single fe-male wolf was killed in western Maine in1993, and in 1996 a second wolf wastrapped and killed in central Maine.

Another wolf-like caned was mistakenfor a coyote and killed in 1997 in northernVermont, and in 2001, a coyote hunter shotand killed a male wolf (85 lb.) in Day, NY.

In early 2002, an apparent wolf (64 lb.)was killed by a trapper in southeasternQuebec, less than 20 miles from the NewHampshire border, and in October 2006, amale wolf (91lb.) was shot in southern

Quebec, near a location where a wolfpack had been established.

These incidents, along with similar ob-servations and physical evidence of large,unidentified ‘dogs’ in the northeast overrecent years, has led some to believewolves may actually be dispersing into thenortheastern United States from habitat in

southern Canada. Many of these unidentified ‘dogs’ have

exhibited characteristics consistent with ananimal that ranges in size somewhere be-tween the eastern coyote and the graywolf.

Although it remains uncertain at thistime, increasingly the scientific evidencesuggests the historic wolf of the Northeastwas more closely related to the red wolfthan to the gray wolf.

According to reports, a recent Geograph-ic Information System analysis that evalu-ated the potential for wolf dispersal fromsouthern Quebec and Ontario into thenortheastern United States found that suf-ficient suitable wolf habitat is available inthe Adirondack Park region of New Yorkand in Maine and northern New Hamp-shire.

Although there remain a number of po-tential dispersal corridors connecting exist-ing wolf populations north of border withthe expansive wolf habitat in Maine, NewHampshire and New York, there are alsosignificant physical barriers to such a dis-persal, including the St. Lawrence River,several four lane highways, rail lines, anddense human developments that may pro-hibit the movement of a sufficient numberof wolves from Canada into Maine.

A study on the feasibility of wolf reintro-duction in the Adirondacks, conducted in1999, revealed the habitat was suitable forsustaining a small population of graywolves.

However, due to the park’s fragmentednature, and the lack of wild corridors link-ing occupied wolf areas to the north; it wasdetermined that wolves would not be ableto establish a viable, breeding populationwithout periodic human intervention. Thestudy concluded that ecological conditionsdictated against the successful reintroduc-tion of gray wolves.

Yet, stories and reports of wolves persistand continue to circulate. Despite evi-dence to the contrary, we want to believethem. We want to believe there are stillwolves and cougars out there; we want ourwoods to remain dangerous and mysteri-ous.

In some manner, this belief makes usbrave, strong and daring. If there are stillwild animals stalking the local woods, ourforest forays are no longer just a simplewalk in the park; they become an adven-ture. We all need the excitement.

NORTH ELBA — As the debate over therail corridor in the T ri-Lakes continues, onemunicipality is backing off a plan to constructa recreational path alongside the train tracksbetween Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.

The town of North Elba has learned that itcannot consolidate a pair of federal grants inorder to complete phase one of the pr oject,which would construct a bike path from LakePlacid to Ray Brook.

The town’s plans wer e popular among lo-

cal cyclists, but some opponents of the railcorridor wanted of ficials to wait for the fu-ture of the tracks to become clearer.

Speaking Tuesday, Tony Goodwin of Keenetold of ficials fr om the town of North Elbathey should delay plans to use federal fund-ing to construct the bike path.

“Because the grant money will go a wholelot further in terms of producing a real com-munity recreation trail once we get the railsremoved,” he said. “We really believe that inthis climate and with the recent decline of rid-ership here and other problems, that pressurewe’re working on putting on the DOT will, at

some point in the fairly near futur e, get thedecision that the rails will be removed.”

Goodwin said there’s no guarantee that thestate Department of T ransportation will au-thorize r emoval of the rails, but he feelsstrongly that the economic climate in NewYork will eventually put an end to what hecalls recreational train riding.

In making his case to the boar d, Goodwinwas joined by an old foe — Lake Placid resi-dent Jim McCulley. The two have sparr ed inthe past over things like motorized access tothe Jackrabbit Trail, but this time, they wer eon the same page.

McCulley came to the meeting armed witha box of tax r eturns which he says show theAdirondack Scenic Railroad being subsidizedbetween $300,000 and $600,000 annually.

“This stack right here, this paperwork righthere, all this is bills submitted to the DOT forpayment by the Adirondack Scenic Railr oadfor 2009,” he said. “One year without a grant,the Adirondack Scenic Railroad is bankrupt.”

And although town of ficials welcomedcomment from the two men, it turns out plansto constr uct a bike path alongside the traintracks have been put on hold indefinitely.

ADIRONDACK CRYPTOQUOTES are sentences quoted from past and present writings about the Adirondacks. Different letters are substituted for the correct ones, and the same code is used throughout. Short words are clues for cracking the puzzle, and these letters are the most frequently used: E, T, A, O, N, S , and I . Practice will help you become more proficient. When you finish solving the Cryptoquote, congratulate yourself and enjoy this small portion of Adirondack history. Good luck and enjoy! © 1998 Nancy A. Douglas
