McHugh was announced as Pres- ident Barack Obama’s choice for the cabinet position June 2. Since then, potential candidates have been lin- ing up to make a run for his vacant Congressional seat, but have been waiting for the Senate to formally confirm him. Since 1993, McHugh has repre- sented New York’s 23rd Congres- sional District, which spans 11 counties across the northern tier of the state, including Franklin, Clin- ton, and most of Essex County. Elected to his ninth term in 2008, he was ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee. As Army Secretary, McHugh will be responsible for the management of a more than $200 billion budget, more than a million troops, and 14 million acres of land. McHugh’s appointment had been approved by the Senate Armed Ser- vices Committee in early August, and was subsequently introduced for Senate approval, but the deci- sion was blocked by Senators Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, and Sam Brown- back, R-Kansas. The two reportedly put a hold on the confirmation of McHugh and several other presidential appoint- ments in order to protest a sup- posed White House plan to move Guantanamo Bay detainees to Fort Leavenworth, a military base in Kansas. Roberts and Brownback agreed to let the confirmation go forward, however, after discussions with senior White House officials. “In a good faith effort to contin- ue moving this dialogue forward, we are releasing our holds on all Department of Defense and Depart- ment of Justice nominees,” the Kansas Senators wrote in a joint press release. “We are confident that because of this good faith dia- logue, detainees will not be trans- ferred to Fort Leavenworth.” His appointment was unani- mously confirmed in the Senate the evening of Sept. 16. On Sept. 21, he resigned from Congress and was of- ficially sworn in as Army Secretary after final approval from the Presi- dent.

E-town board passes OWB law By Matt Bosley [email protected]ELIZABETHTOWN — After a year-long effort, the Elizabeth- town Town Board has agreed on a new local law that will ban any future outdoor wood boil- ers within the zoned hamlet. Only three residents spoke at a brief public hearing Sept. 16, two of them in favor of a law that would allow only existing outdoor furnaces to remain with strict regulations. “I believe, with the time we’ve taken, we’ve come up with a document that we’ll be proud of for years to come,” said town supervisor Noel Mer- rihew. The law would allow existing boilers to operate between Sept. 15 and May 1, provided they burn only clean, dry firewood, and are “utilized in a manner that does not create a nuisance and which is not detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the zoning regulated area.” The proposed law was the third version brought before a public hearing. Other versions had been met with more oppo- sition, either for being too lax or for not allowing existing boilers to remain. Elizabethtown resident Mal Hackett, whose house neigh- bors one of the four existing OWBs in the hamlet, com- plained that the law would not provide adequate enforcement to protect his home from woodsmoke as it contains no provisions for minimum smokestack height. Merrihew disagreed, saying nuisances would be dealt with by the code enforcement officer. “I think the board feels confi- dent in the simplicity of the lan- guage and how it lends itself to proper enforcement,” said See OWB, page 10 FIND THE CAR YOU’RE REALLY LOOKING FOR AT: WWW.EGGLEFIELDBROS.COM ELIZABETHTOWN, NY RAY BROOK, NY (800) 559-6551 (800) 287-4525 DLR# 3160003 44302 $ 11,900 2007 FORD FOCUS SE Stk#E2478A, 4 Door, Auto, Air, Gold, Power Windows & Locks, 42K Miles $ 10,900 2008 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER LX Stk#E2477A, 4 Door, Auto, Black, Power Windows & Locks, 34K Miles

WARRENSBURG — Despite living insome of New York’s poorest municipalities,many Adirondack residents are subject tosome of the highest tax rates per capita inthe state.
According to data compiled by the stateComptroller and analyzed by the govern-ment watchdog group the Empire Center forNew York State Policy, towns and countiesin the Park top the tax burden list, while of-fering some of the fewest social services.
In 2007, the Hamilton County tax burdenwas $1,606 per resident — the most expen-sive in the state.
Warren County ranked third statewide at$1,255 per resident and Essex County ranksninth at $1,065.
The out-of-park counties of Saratoga,Wyoming and Orleans have the smallest taxburdens per resident.
At the town level, the Essex County com-munity of Newcomb has the largest tax bur-den statewide at $6,293 per resident.
Hamilton County is well represented inthe top 10 most burdensome places with Ari-etta ranking second, Inlet third, Long Lakefifth, Lake Pleasant 10th and Indian Lake11th. A total of 908 towns are represented inthe study.
In contrast, Hamilton County ranked 53rdin per capita spending for social services,while Essex ranks 47th.
Essex County also ranks seventh in percapita spending on employee benefits at$349. Hamilton is number three and LewisCounty tops the list at $808 per resident.
According to LA Group Planner Jim Mar-tin, who has for years scrutinized statisticson the Adirondacks, most non-park munici-palities are comprised of roughly 30 percentindustrial or commercial property. But in the
Adirondack Park, the total amount of com-mercial or industrial property drops to apaltry 0.3 percent.
And this is at the core of the cash shortageto shoulder taxes in municipalities insidethe park borders.
“The regular taxpayer puts in $1 and takesout $1.30 in services,” Martin said. “A com-pany puts in $1 and takes out .35 cents.”
New York regularly tops the list of mosthighly taxed states, making Adirondack res-idents some of the most taxed in the nation.
Meanwhile, the average Adirondackhousehold brings in a median income ofroughly $43,000 annually, $8,000 below thestatewide average.

KEESEVILLE — Oakland is a search dog who spends hisdays training to save the lives of others. Now, he’s the onewho needs saving.
The 2-year-old German Shepherd is part of the ChamplainValley Search and Rescue K9 Unit, an independent, non-profit organization based in Keeseville. Recently, Oaklandwas performing advanced obstacle training when he fell andseverely tore his Achilles tendon, said Shannon Bresett, adog handler and co-founder of the search and rescue unit.
Bresett and her husband, Christopher, a fellow dog han-dler and co-founder of the unit, were in the AdirondackMountains with Oakland and other dogs from the unit on aroutine training exercise when the injury occurred, she ex-plained.
“We noticed he had a slight limp, but we didn’t thinkmuch of it becausethat happens fromtime to time on exer-cises,” she said.“Then, we noticed hewould not put anypressure on his legwhatsoever.”
Bresett and herhusband took Oak-land to a veterinarianfor further examina-tion where it wasfound Oakland had a
severe tear in his Achilles tendon. “It’s not completely severed, because if it were, he’d have
no control over it,” said Bresett. “He can keep it upright, butit’s hanging on by a thread.”
Though Oakland hasn’t shown signs of being in pain —as much as a dog can show, said Bresett — he will need sur-gery to correct his injury. Estimates received show the sur-gery will cost approximately $2,500, with necessary reha-bilitation therapy bringing the expense to nearly $5,000.
“I have no problem putting that much money into him,”said Bresett, “it’s just being a nonprofit, we run primarilyon donations and mainly on funding through our own pock-ets.”
While their main concern is for Oakland’s well-being, saidBresett, the search and rescue unit does depend on the serv-ice dogs like Oakland can provide. And, considering the unitof seven dogs and eight volunteers serves a 100-mile radiusfrom the village of Keeseville — extending north to theCanadian border and south to Warren County and to pointsin between — Oakland’s surgery is crucial, she said.
“It’s just amazing that one dog equals the efforts of abouta hundred people,” said Bresett. “Even volunteer organiza-tions like the fire departments realize that if you let the dogsgo in first [in a search and rescue operation], you’re cover-ing a lot more ground and the percentage to find the person
alive becomes greater.”“Maybe I’m biased, but I think it’s an important cause,”
she added. “I’ve just seen the difference that having dogs onsearches makes.”
Every day Oakland’s tendon remains unrepaired, themore difficult his surgery will become, said Bresett. And,without the full use of his now injured leg, he will essen-tially become unable to serve the unit, for which he was justrecently nationally-certified.
“I think it’s important for people to realize that we’re avolunteer organization and though this is something that’slike a hobby for us, we take it very seriously,” Bresett em-phasized. “We train these dogs at least four hours a day, pluswork full-time jobs ... and we’re out there giving public pre-sentations. Hopefully, we’re a service people will never haveto utilize, but it’s good to know we’re there if they do.”
Those wishing to make a contribution to the ChamplainValley Search and Rescue K9 Unit toward Oakland’s surgerymay do so by sending tax-deductible donations in care ofthe organization to 27 Beach St., Keeseville N.Y. 12944.
For more information, contact the unit at 314-6756 or vis-it their Web site at www.champlainvalleyk9unit.com.

Wednesday is the birthday ofHenry W. Putnam, a localworking farmer who worked
equipment, plowed, got dirty and helpedother farmers less fortunate than him. Helived on Rt. 22 where Dale Bigelow nowlives.
Mr. Putnam is the richest man who everlived, worked and earned his excessivewealth in Essex township. He was knownfor his honesty, integrity, and generous-ness. During his life, Mr. Putnam was con-sidered one of the richest men in the Unit-ed States. While it’s not necessarily a bigdeal for our area, no one has ever eclipsedhis stature in our town. Next week I talkabout the Essex man financing the Union.
Now we all know that Gertrude Everly, aU.S. citizen, is generally credited with thehonor of being the first woman to swim theEnglish Channel. She went on to continueswimming a wide variety of point to pointlocations. One point to point swim shenever was able to accomplish was theswim from the Essex Shoreline to Vermont.
“Sister” Mock of Essex who accomplishedthis task in the late forties was joined inthe pantheon of swimmers last week byDeb Sue Miller who is the daughter of Di-anne and David Lansing. Accompanyingher during this feat was a flotilla of boats.Well, actually, the flotilla was her motherDianne who paddled along side of Deb Suein her canoe whilst singing “Row, Row,Your Boat.” Hats off to them both. I knowDeb Sue didn’t swallow any Lake Cham-plain water cause she is still alive.
Did I tell you that on Oct. 11, at 5 p.m.,Connie Fee and some of her voice studentswill be giving a free concert of Sacred Mu-sic in the Essex Community Church?Maybe for an encore we might get her tosing “Putsy, Putsy, Who Wants a Barrel ofCement?”
Finally, next week I will rant and raveabout a letter from the RNC which has tobe the most infantile, asinine, and intellec-tually insulting fund raising letter eversent.
Fall is starting to appear; you onlyhave to take a look around you tosee the beginnings of our beautiful
autumn leaf magnificance! There's some-thing wonderful about the crispness in theair, and the smell of leaf piles that willsoon begin to appear. For me, Fall is alsothe time when I begin to appreciate snug-gling up with my furry friends. If youdon't have a "snuggle-buddy" of your own,you may want to think about finding a furperson to cuddle you through the upcom-ing winter months.
This week's featured pet is Nyca, knownat the shelter as a "big teddy bear." She isundeniably affectionate, adores petting,and loves to have her ears scratched. Shedoesn't have any preferences for what kindof person she prefers - she will gladly wagher tail for anyone who gives her attention.She's a sweet and sassy girl who knows sheis a real "hot dog." Nyca would be a greataddition to your household and will giveyou affection and loyalty in return for ahappy home.
If you come to see Nyca, you may alsowant to stop by some of our long-time resi-dents at the NCSPCA. These pooches areanxious to have their own homes and havea great deal to offer. They're hoping thatsomeone will notice them soon and give
them a chance! Princess, a StaffordshireTerrier, was brought to the shelter as partof an animal abuse/neglect case over ayear ago. Virgil is a crusty old beagle mixwho is hoping to find a place to retire. In-digo is a hound-mix who loves to playwith toys. She is a little anxious ofstrangers but once she knows you, she willbe your friend for life. If you are interestedin possibly adopting one of these dogs, butaren't sure if you feel your home will be amatch, talk to the shelter staff about foster-ing these or other dogs who need someTLC - you will be glad you did!
Leaves are starting to turn, daysand especially nights are gettingcooler—what we in the North
Country call "good sleeping weather"—andthe hectic pace of summer life is easing abit. School's open. Summer people havedrifted back to the city, bless 'em. Sunriseand sunset are starting to squeeze togethera little, but the days are still good andlong. Grass has slowed down. Bugs arethinning out a bit.
Every season has its glories, but I haveto say that the pleasures of early fall areright up there at the top of my list. Thewoods, of course, beckon more seductivelyin their glorious fall colors, and withoutthe constant need to swat flies and mosqui-toes. You can still wear shorts during theday, and the evening comes when the firstwood fire of the season sends its delicate,homey scent out on the crisp, dry air.
And, not least for me this particular fall,the cooler weather means it's getting easierto do exercises wearing the turn-out gearand air-pack that I'm getting more andmore used to as a firefighter-in-training.This is no small thing, since in October, thethird and final month of Firefighter 1, wehave two full Saturdays as well as the usu-al twice-a-week three-hour evening classes.
One of them will be instruction in fireextinguishers, and the other will be a liveburn at the Lake Placid Training Center,which has a special facility for simulatinga structure fire. This is our final exercise,
and it offers an invaluable opportunity toexperience the realities of heat, smoke, andflame in a controlled environment.
So far, topics we've covered include fire-fighter safety and survival, fire behavior,building search, forcible entry, buildingconstruction, hose practice and waterstreams, and ropes and knots. This weekit's ground ladders and ventilation, whichmeans understanding how, why, and whereto make openings to allow smoke and heatto escape the building. This is tricky, sinceit can save lives and ease working condi-tions but it also means letting oxygen getto the fire. Topics we'll be covering sooninclude salvage and overhaul (what hap-pens after the fire is out), more hose skills,vehicle fires, sprinkler system fundamen-tals, and hazardous materials operations.
I've been impressed by dedication ofboth the instructors and my fellow stu-dents. Most of the other trainees are youngmen in their early twenties or so, but thereare also two young women, who outper-formed us all on air consumption. In addi-tion, there's a veteran who's taking theclass as a refresher. His experience hasadded a valuable dimension.
I've mentioned many times how muchwe need volunteers, both for the fire de-partment and the ambulance squad. I'vealso described the wonderful support thatI've received from those already serving.Something to consider, if you're thinkingabout joining.

Afew weeksago I wrotea column
about simple acts ofkindness — abouthow opening yourheart to another canprove an enrichingexperience that oftengets repaid tenfold.
I invited readersto submit their ownheartwarming sto-ries of kindness. I re-ceived quite a few,but here are a sampling of my favorites:
A Christmas miracleLillian from Warrensburg wrote:When I was a little girl living in Weavertown in the
1930s, we had barely enough money for food. It was theheight of the Great Depression and as winter approachedwe had no idea how we were going to heat our home forthe winter. As Christmas neared, we were in a very badway. My father had been seriously injured working in thewoods and my mother had no choice but to tear boards offour chicken coop and the side of our home to burn in thewoodstove for heat. A very proud man, my father was notone to ask for handouts, even though there was no way hecould provide for me and my three younger brothers. Mostdays he could barely get out of bed.
On Christmas Eve, my elderly next-door neighbor sawme sitting on our porch and asked me what I had asked forfor Christmas. I told him all I wanted was for my family tobe warm and have something to eat. He said he under-stood. He was in as bad shape as our family and said hehadn’t had a real meal in days.
The next morning when I woke up it was Christmas. Wehad no presents. Didn't expect them like kids these days.But when I opened the front door to help Mom peel some
more boards for heat, I sawa strange sight in our frontyard. To my disbelief, therestood a huge pile of splitfirewood. On the porch wasa burlap sack containing asmoked ham. On it therewas a note that read simply"To Lilli, from Santa."
I could never prove it wasthe old man who did that amazing deed, but the boottracks through the snow sure looked a lot like his.
A daughter’s selflessnessJoe from Whitehall wrote:I have a heartwarming story of my own about something
my 5-year-old daughter did this summer. I am in the Na-tional Guard and spent the last year in Iraq. When I re-turned I took my daughter to the Great Escape to enjoy asun-filled day and then to Martha's Ice Cream as she hadbeen bugging me all day to make a stop there. She orderedand after receiving a cone heavily laden with ice cream,spun and started walking to our car. Before she could takeher first bite, however, she noticed a young soldier inBDU's (camouflage outfit called a Battle Dress Uniform)standing a few people back in line. She immediatelymarched straight to the young man and offered him her icecream.
“I'd like you to have this and thank you for helping keepmy Daddy safe so he could come home to Mommy andme,” she said.
I think we were both fighting back tears as my little girlspun and skipped away toward the car.
A guardian angelKimberly from North Elba wrote:I was returning from college in an old Dodge Dart I had
at the time and was traveling a very remote section ofRoute 8 in near blizzard conditions.
Rounding a corner somewhere outside Speculator I lost
control and careened down a steep embankment. I was un-hurt but the car was completely buried. I had to climb outa window just to get to the road as the doors were jammedshut by snow.
I really wasn’t prepared for the elements and had onlysneakers and a light coat on as I made my way along thehighway toward a house not far away. As I approached, adog barked fiercely from inside and the porch lightsnapped on. I was so scared I could barely move but I did-n’t know what else to do. From inside, a man’s voicebarked “who's there?”
I yelled my name and told him my situation. After along pause I heard the lock click on the door, but insteadof opening it the man had locked it tight and I heard himsay “get off my property.”
I ran back to my car crying and scared. Inside, I lockedthe doors and covered up with everything I could find. Itried the engine several times until the battery died andthen huddled in the dark for what seemed like hours untila light shone though the back window.
“Everyone okay in there,” a voice said and I peeked myhead out the window to see a rosy-cheeked gentlemanwith a flashlight.
“No,” I said through tears. “I’m stuck and I’m freezing.”“Wait right there,” he said and in a moment I could hear
a shovel clicking against the side of the car. Minutes laterhe helped me out the door and brought me to his plowtruck that was idling nearby.
He offered me hot coffee from a Thermos and pulled aheavy wool blanket from behind the seat, draping it overmy shoulders. Then he put a heavy chain on my car andyanked it out of the snow and, with the help of jumper ca-bles, got my car going.
I was so grateful I gave him a big hug and offered himwhat little money I had. He said he had a daughter aboutmy age and hoped that someone would help her out too ifshe was ever in a similar situation.
I never got the man’s name, so I hope you will print thisstory in hopes that maybe he sees it and understands whata profound difference he made in my life on that snowyJanuary night.
He was my guardian angel.

Last week I introduced you to some of the fun waysshoppers can make "Buy one, get one free" (BOGO)sales even more rewarding. Anytime we can buy
one item and get another free, we're essentially buying twoat half price each. So how do we make a half-off sale evenbetter? With coupons, of course! Here's the third "best-keptsecret" of couponing:
Secret #3: Use Two Coupons During a BOGO SaleAt most stores, you can use one coupon per purchase.
Even though you're buying one item and getting another"free," it's not truly free. You still have to go through theact of "purchasing" it at the register (the store won't allowyou to just pick up the "free" jar and take it home, willthey?) If you live in an area that collects sales tax on gro-ceries, you must still pay sales tax on the "free" item.
So, it's best to think of BOGO sales as buying two for theprice of one. As long as you're buying two items, even ifone is full-price and one is free, you can use a coupon oneach item you're buying. You're buying two items, so youcan use two coupons.
Here's an example illustrating why this is a great idea.My grocery store has organic pasta sauces on sale for $3,"Buy one, get one free." And even though the register ringsthem up as $3 for the first jar and $0 for the second, it isstill possible for me to present a coupon on each jar for ad-ditional savings.
For this sale, I have two $1 coupons for the pasta sauce.Using one coupon for each jar I purchase brings my costdown to just $1 for two jars, or 50 cents each! That's a greatprice for any pasta sauce, especially organic.
Now, many grocery storeshandle BOGO sales differ-ently. With a sale like theone I outlined above, moststores' registers will ring thesale as one $3 jar and one $0jar. Other grocery stores mayapproach the same BOGOsale by ringing up each item at $1.50 each. Either way, youcan still use a coupon on each item and get each jar of pas-ta sauce for 50 cents.
Are you ready for a bonus tip? If your store "splits"BOGO prices into half for each item, you only have to buyone of the items to get it for that price! So, if you only hadone pasta sauce coupon, you could buy just one jar, get itfor the $1.50 price, use a $1 coupon on it, and still take ithome for 50 cents.
To determine which way your store handles BOGO sales,look at your receipt the next time you buy items promotedin a BOGO sale. If the register rings one at full price andone at zero, you must buy two to receive the price. If itrings each one at half of full price, you will be able to buyjust one of the items involved in the sale and receive it forhalf the price without buying the second item.
of three, never passes up a good deal. Learn more about coupon-ing at her Web site, www.super-couponing.com. E-mail yourcouponing coups and questions to [email protected].

Couponing's Best-Kept Secrets, Maximize the Match: BOGO Plus Two
In 1964, just over 50 percent of American studentsrode a bike to school and the rate of obesity for chil-dren was 10 percent. In 2006, three percent of Ameri-
cans students rode a bike to school and 35 percent wereoverweight. Currently, it is estimated that 62 percent ofAmerican adults are overweight or obese.
Burgeoning American waistlines are a harbinger of agathering national health storm, and the crisis around oilas our premier energy source is just now reaching criticalmass. Even the most oblivious “ditto-head” cannot denythat we can no longer rely on oil as a long term energysource.
Europe has been dealing with expensive gasoline formany years. Perhaps that is why bicycle use in much ofEurope is at a much higher level than in the U.S. Many Eu-ropean cities have built many miles of bike paths to en-courage bicycle use and it has worked. 40 percent of alltraffic movement in Amsterdam, the Netherlands is by bi-cycle. While Amsterdam is not especially identified forhaving a warm and dry climate that would encourage bik-ing, its citizens don’t seem to mind.
In fact, most of the top bike friendly cities in the worldare not warm climates. The top American city for bicycleuse is rain-soaked Portland, Oregon. Portland’s bicycleculture is strong and growing. Since 1990 the number ofbike paths has grown from 60 to 260 miles. Copenhagen,often called the city of bikes, has the most progressive cityplan for increasing bicycle use. They have been successfulin creating separate bike paths with their own signals mak-ing it the safest place in the world to bike. About 32 per-cent of the 1.8 million residents get around on a bicycle.
As greater access to safe biking has been made available,more and more residents have taken up biking. Sandnes,Norway; Trondheim, Norway; Berlin, Germany; Barcelona,Spain and Basel, Switzerland are some of the most bike
friendly cities in the world.Some of the cities men-tioned feature large urbanpopulations and many havecold or otherwise inclementweather at least part of theyear.
All of the cities men-tioned have political leader-ship that decided to createfavorable conditions for in-creasing bike riding. The“build it and they will ride”line of reasoning has beenemployed by city planners.
There are many innova-tions that allow riders of all ages to ride Bikes. In Trond-heim, a bike trolley system pulls riders and their bikes uphills. This innovation encourages very young and very oldriders to use their bikes. Portland has a bike token pro-gram where you can pick a bike up in one part of the cityand leave at another destination. All bikes have a rain pon-cho, a helmet, a tool kit, air pump and a city map.
Could all this bike riding contribute to overall health?There does seem to be some evidence that it does. The lifeexpectancy gap between the U.S. and Europe is large andgrowing as Americans struggle with widespread obesityand the associated illnesses. Some research suggests thatriding a bike makes you more likely to engage in other ac-tive pursuits as well. Apparently, when you feel healthy,being active is not a chore, but rather something that is en-joyed. Imagine that! Remember all kids count.
Thanks for community supportTo the editor:My family and I cannot express enough thanks to the com-
munity for their love and support during this tragic time.We would like to especially thank all those who made thebenefit possible. Their countless hours and efforts is morethan appreciated. We would like to thank all the businesseswho donated to this cause. Special thanks to the Communi-ty who made a positive outlook on this tragedy.

Strong showing by Garcia, TylerTo the editor:I would point out a few facts. DA Garcia has rebuffed ac-
cusations of increased spending by pointing out her prais-ing by the Essex County Board of Supervisors of her fiscalrestraint, and presented public record to show a decreaseduring her term. This was reaffirmed in the primaries by DAGarcia taking the town of Essex three to one over Sprague,as you recall Ron Jackson, the Essex Supervisor, stronglypushed these allegations. She was also accused of a poorrecord as DA. Julie rebuffed this with records showing hersuperior performance to ex-DA Briggs and on par perform-ance with the Clinton County DA, with Sprague on staff.
Reaffirmed again by the primary voters in Elizabethtown,the County Seat, by DA Garcia beating Sprague by taking 6out of 10 votes; the light shines through!
I am "Ike" Tyler's Treasurer; he is my brother in law. Ikehas the training it takes to run a prison with his 25 years incorrections and a business degree. Ike took the Town ofLewis in the primaries (54%), important in that this is wherethe Jail is located. That's a strong statement! Ike also tookMoriah (59%) where he was corrections officer! Lastly, Ikewon Elizabethtown.
The power brokers in Essex County are being challengedby DA Julie Garcia and "Ike" Tyler. Sheriff Hommes andKristy Sprague needed to get a 2 to 1 victory in the primar-ies to win in November, their people know this, They got adraw. The truth is out; on To Victory for Garcia and Tyler!

CROWN POINT — Crown Point CentralSchool students wanted to be part of histo-ry.
That’s why the entire school — about 400students, teachers and staff — made the trekto the Crown Point State Historic Site to par-ticipate in Champlain Quadricentennialevents Sept. 18.
“We decided to take the entire school be-cause of the unique opportunity it (thequadricentennial) presented,” explainedShane Thelan, a social studies teacher.“Crown Point is a community school. We feltit was important for all students to be in-volved in this unique community event.”
The celebration, which continued Sept. 19with the re-dedication of the renovatedChamplain Memorial lighthouse, markedthe 400th anniversary of Samuel de Cham-plain’s discovery of the lake that bears hisname.
At the same time the annual Festival ofNations was taking place at the site.
The Festival of Nations celebrated the culturalheritage of the nations which, during the 1700s,left a lasting imprint on the Lake Champlain Val-ley: Canada, France, Great Britain, Native Amer-ican Indian tribes, and the United States. It fea-tured music, crafts, food, dance, games, familyactivities, clothing, folk life and customs.
Crown Point students took part in a vari-ety of grade-level appropriate activities dur-ing their visit. To prepare for the adventurestudents read about de Champlain.
Students were able to see the Lois McClure, areplica schooner docked at Crown Point Reser-vation Campground’s renovated steamboatdock. They also met “Samuel Champlain,” por-trayed by Don Thompson, and heard vocalist andinstrumentalist Linda Russell perform music fa-miliar to Lake Champlain inhabitants during the1700s.
Highlighting the Sept. 18 activities wasthe re-dedication of the Champlain Memor-ial lighthouse.
Taking part in the re-dedication were Ver-mont Gov. Jim Douglas, New York State De-partment of Environmental ConservationCommissioner Alexander “Pete” Grannisand French Ambassador Pierre Vimont.
A bust by French sculptor Auguste Rodinadorns the front of the lighthouse, and wasa gift to the people of the Champlain Valleyfrom France when the lighthouse was origi-nally dedicated. It was built in 1858 and con-verted into a monument to the French ex-plorer and dedicated in 1912.
The work by Rodin, called “La France,”was recently removed, restored and re-placed on the lighthouse with enhanced se-curity measures. It was part of a $2 millionrenovation project at the lighthouse and ad-
jacent pier.“We are honored to dedicate this magnif-
icent sculpture,” Vimont said. “This was anattempt to build a memorial to Samuel deChamplain and his amazing adventure. Thispiece of art is not a small token.”
As part of the re-dedication the Cham-plain Valley String Orchestra, under direc-tion of Laurel Rule, performed Crown PointSuite.
The group consists of 15 local string stu-dents, adult string players and teachersfrom six towns in Essex and Clinton coun-ties.
Crown Point Suite is an original composi-tion for string orchestra by Westport resi-dent and cellist Laurel Rule.
Throughout the day there were perform-ances and presentations by Martin Sexton,The U.S. Merchant Marine Corps Band, PiersFaccini, Justin Jones and the Driving Rain,Pulitzer Prize-winning historian DavidHackett Fischer, Stephane Wrembel, BearTracks, Tim Jennings and LeAnne Ponder,Darren Bonaparte and a screening of thesoon-to-be-released documentary DeadReckoning.
As part of the quadricentennial events,the Crown Point Post Office offered a spe-cial pictorial cancellation, “Quadricentenni-al Champlain Celebration.”
Saturday concluded with a fireworks dis-play over Lake Champlain.
The weekend events concluded Sept. 20when filmmaker Caro Thompson intro-duced a one-hour showing of her EmmyAward-winning documentary, Champlain:The Lake Between.

PLATTSBURGH — The Upstate New YorkTea Party has begun its movement to shakeup Washington, D.C.
Coordinator Mark Barie of Rouses Pointopened the first meeting of the UNYTEAParty to a standing-room only crowd at thePlattsburgh-North Country Chamber ofCommerce Sept. 20. The meeting, set againstthe backdrop screen of the Web sitewww.USDebtClock.org — which shows thegrowth of government debt by the second —drew more than 140 people.
During the meeting, the UNYTEA groupgave an overview of the independent politi-cal committee’s mission to combat excessivegovernment spending and reduce taxes andthe size of government. The group plans todo so through letter-writing campaigns,sponsoring public debates, direct mail ef-forts and TEA Party rallies to “send a mes-sage to their elected representatives inWashington,” noted Barie.
“We are a grassroots organization of NorthCountry residents who believe that partisanpolitics must give way to common sense anddollars and cents,” Barie said. “We cannotspend our way out of debt, nor should we in-sist on taxing those who work in the name ofthose who won’t.”
The UNYTEA will join nearly 750 othersimilarly-formed groups around the countrywho are not affiliated with any political par-ty but who are concerned and frightenedabout the direction in which the country isheaded and believe they have a patrioticduty to stand up and make a difference, astheir forefathers did many years ago.
The group is actively looking to build itsmembership in the North Country, with thegoal of 1,000 members by this time next year.Although, given the enthusiasm of the par-ticipants to date, Barie said he wouldn't besurprised reached that number very quickly.
“We will work tirelessly to ensure that weonly send those individuals to Washington,”Barie said, “regardless of their party affilia-tion, who believe that those that governleast, govern best and that the American sys-tem of Free Enterprise is the only proven sys-tem of success for generations to come.”
Recognition was given to Jonathan Nel-son, who is credited with initiating thegroup first gathering in Trinity Park. Also in-troduced were members of the steering com-mittee, which included Nelson, John Ianelli,Greg Laduke, Dr. John Middleton, Kirk Stall-smith, Jim Wemett), and John VanNatten. Inaddition to the steering committee, thegroup is looking for coordinators for everycounty, town and village in the North Coun-try.
The group also heard from local individu-als who attended a recent TEA Party rally inWashington, D.C. with more than 1.5 millionpeople in attendance. Pictures of the rallyand impressions of those in attendance wereshared with the group.
The meeting closed with several individ-uals in the audience adding comments, con-cerns an support to the mission of the UN-YTEA.
The group’s next event will be a healthcareforum to be held tentatively Sunday, Oct. 4,in which all three candidates for the 23rdCongressional District seat — RepublicationAssemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava, De-mocratic Party candidate Bill Owens and
Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoff-man — have been invited to attend. To date,only Hoffman has accepted an invitation butthe event is planned to be held regardless ofthe other candidates’ attendance.

Town councilman Joe Martin also spokeagainst the law, saying it unnecessarily dis-courages the use of wood, a plentiful and re-newable resource, as a source for heat.
“I think you’re cutting your nose off tospite your own face,” Martin said. “I justdon’t see how you’re going to gain a lot bythe ban.”
The board held their regular meeting thatsame evening where the new law passed bya vote of 3-1. Martin was the only boardmember opposed, and councilman PhilHutchins was absent due to a death in thefamily.

Megan Jaquish's goal witheight seconds remaining inregulation erased a one-goallead Chazy had held sinceearly in the first half, but theEagles would avoid the tiewith a crafty goal in secondovertime for the 2-1 win overWillsboro.
“I’m pleased with our ef-fort, but obviously not with
the outcome,” said Wills-boro assistant coach RalphMarcotte.
Chazy got things goingearly with a goal by VictoriaReynolds, who scored frompoint blank range after apass from Kirsten Doransquirted loose near the net.
Led by Reynolds and jun-ior midfielder Astrid Kem-painen, the Eagles contin-ued to put pressure on Wills-boro’s defense.
“[Kempainen] had a goodgame for them helping tocontrol the ball in the mid-field,” said Marcotte. “Wehad a hard time matchingup.”
With time winding down,Warriors forward CourtneyBlanchard was able tosqueak past three Chazy de-fenders for a breakawayshot. The save was deflectedand Jaquish fired it in fromjust five yards out.
“I was pleased with our
defense,” said Marcotte.“Especially our halfbacksholding them to just onegoal in regulation.”
Willsboro continued tofend off Chazy’s attack untilmidway through the secondovertime when Caitlyn LaPi-er fired an arching cross to-ward the net from the rightwing. Sandra Olds jumpedfrom behind a Willsboro de-fender and headed the ballinto the top right corner.
The Eagles outshot Wills-boro 23-5, but Warriorsgoalie Stevie Burrows col-
lected 14 saves. KatherineTooke had three for Chazy.
“Stevie Burrows had anexcellent game,” said Mar-cotte. “Neither goal wasanything she could have got-
ten a hand on.”Chazy maintained their
undefeated season with thewin. Willsboro’s first lossdropped them to 2-1 inleague play.

My every move is based on my desire to make our communities safe for you and your families. You, and many others, will have the opportunity to hear much more about the true facts concerning the operation of the Essex County District Attorney’s office, now, in the past, and most importantly, in the future.

Soon all the voters will have an opportunity to review the real “evidence” and make their own judgment when they vote on November 3rd.
Sincerely yours, Julie Garcia Essex County District Attorney Paid for by friends to Re-Elect Julie Garcia.

Earlier this month, Ivisited The White-tail Summit 2009
hosted at the Sports Domein Queensbury. Althoughattendance levels were low-er than expected, the eventoffered numerous highquality exhibits and a widerange of interesting semi-nars. It was a good start to-ward building a qualityshow that will hopefullygrow into an annual event.
I stuck around to attendThe Whitetail Summit din-ner sponsored by Trijicon and watch as Vermont deerhunting legend, Larry Benoit, was inducted into the newlycreated, Whitetail Hall of Fame, as its first member.Benoit’s sons, Lanny and Shane, accepted the award ontheir father's behalf.
Among the camo clad crew, one enthusiast stood out.Karen Turner, aka the Vermont Huntress was notable forone simple reason. She was a female and she representsthe fastest growing constituency among an ever diminish-ing breed of outdoor enthusiasts, hunters.
Whitetail deer are a hunter ’s equivalent of bass. Andlike bass, whitetail deer are widely distributed across mostof the country. Relatively easily accessible, whitetails arethe most commonly hunted big game animal in NorthAmerica. They are a blue collar animal, the prey of Joe Six-pack.
Despite the fact that whitetail deer are pursued predom-inantly by rural, white males, women constitute the fastestgrowing segment of the hunting fraternity today.
Over the past decade, an interesting and importanttrend has quietly taken place across the wild lands ofNorth America. Women are taking to the woods in everincreasing numbers. They possess more effective outdoorskills and a greater level of confidence than ever before.
Hunting, fishing adventures are no longer the exclusivedomain of the male of the species. Nor, in reality, werethey ever!
Women were the original campers, from the earliest
days, in almost all corners of the earth. Aboriginal peoplerelied on women to prepare shelters, to make clothes,gather the water, cook the meals and tend to the necessi-ties essential to insure survival of their people.
Women made the decisions of when to move and whereto camp. Meanwhile, the men hunted and went to war. It’snot surprising that many Native American nations werematriarchal societies.
As ‘civilized’ society grew and matured, it evolved tothe point where a women’s place was considered to be thehome, while the men were expected to roam. The wilder-ness was considered a hostile environment to be tamed. Itwas not a place fit for a lady.
Although numerous examples remain of pioneer womentaking to the woods, the American society came to acceptthe fact that woodland travel and wilderness adventureswere primarily a male dominated environment.
The massive Brandreth Park, with over 30,000 acresstretching from Raquette Lake to Long Lake, is consideredthe largest, single family owned parcel in the Adirondacks.
From the turn of the century and well into the 1900’s, alocal hunter by the name of Paul Brandreth hunted theselands. Paul was an internationally recognized expert onhunting whitetail deer and wrote of his adventures in For-est and Stream, Woods and Waters and other national pub-lications. He even published a book on hunting whitetails.It is still considered one of the finest ever written on thesubject.
However, despite being one of the foremost authoritieson the topic, Paul never attended the fabled New YorkSportsman Show. He never set foot in the Explorers Clubnor shared a cigar with Teddy Roosevelt while recountingtales of the hunt.
The reason Paul Brandreth never shared in any of thecommon delights for a man of the hunt, was because hewas a she. Pauline Brandreth wrote under the pen namePaul. It was the only way she could be published, for atthe time, no one would believe that a woman knew any-thing about hunting whitetail deer.
Luckily, for both genders, this attitude is rapidly slip-ping into oblivion. Today, there are female forest rangers,EnCon officers and fire jumpers. Women now rate highlyas hunting and fishing guides, two pursuits considered thebastions of traditional guided adventures.
Women are also leading trips for whitewater rafting, skitouring, backpacking, rock climbing and ice climbing.They form the core of wilderness education programs andrepresent nearly 72 percent of the membership of the Na-tional Association of Interpreters, a professional organiza-tion of certified naturalists. Women now constitute the ma-jority of instructors teaching the next generation about theout of doors.
Women have more opportunities today to develop theskills and knowledge necessary for wilderness adventures.At the same time they are acquiring these tools, they arealso empowering themselves to better utilize this training,often while teaching others.
Additionally, as women began to take advantage of theopportunities to enjoy wilderness adventures, the outdoorindustry took notice.
In 1984, Kelty, Inc., a premier manufacturer of back-packs, introduced the Kelty Woman, a backpack specifical-ly designed for the female frame. Kelty was one of the firstin the outdoor industry to recognize the potential for man-ufacturing and marketing products specifically for women.Previously, women had to use smaller sized men’s equip-ment or products made for children. However, this equip-ment didn’t fit, feel or look right.
How quickly the tide turned. Today, equipment technol-ogy features lighter, stronger materials that are easier touse and carry. These products are more accessible thanever since they are often designed, manufactured and mar-keted by women for women.
Companies such as Browning, Marlin and Rugar nowproduce firearms specifically designed and sized forwomen. So does Orvis, LL Bean and a host of outdoorequipment and apparel manufacturers.
Furthermore, the advent of gender specific gear hasmade skill sets and technique more important than brutestrength. Materials such as kevlar have dramatically re-duced product weight, while graphite has improved per-formance. Today, there are more women paddling remoteregions and casting a flyrod than ever before.
Removing the ‘macho’ element from the outdoor experi-ence has opened new horizons of adventure travel to asegment of the population that is appreciative, considerateof the environment and in many cases, ‘just fun to bewith.’
Gentlemen be advised! The next time you encountersomeone you thought was just a “Babe in theWoods,” keep an eye on her. You may learn athing or two!
