AU SABLE FORKS — Motorcycle enthusiastswill soon have an excellent opportunity to enjoya scenic ride through the Adirondacks and a bar-becue dinner, all while they support some neigh-bors in need.

The fourth annual ALS motorcycle rally andpoker run is scheduled for May 30, sponsored bythe Mountain Riders motorcycle club.

The event originated in 2007 as a benefit for thefamily of Johnny Nixon, a star athlete at AuSableValley Central School who was diagnosed withALS in October 2006 at age 28.

Though Nixon passed away in December of2007, the club continued to hold the event, rais-ing funds for families dealing with an ALS diag-nosis.

“When we started this four years ago, we werethinking we’d just be doing it once,” said KellyMurphy, one of the event’s organizers, “but eachyear it seemed like there was a new case in thearea.”

ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, alsoknown as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a degenerativeneurological disease that progressively reducesthe ability to use muscles in the body. Eighty per-cent of people with the disease die within fiveyears of being diagnosed.

“The goal is to promote the awareness of ALS

while being able to raise funds for area residentswho are suffering with ALS,” Murphy said.

According to Murphy, there have been eightcases of ALS diagnosed among local residents inthe past four years, some of whom are still living.

The event has drawn between 70 and 85 bikersand raised about $8,000 each year. A portion ofthis year’s proceeds will go to the Greater NewYork chapter of the ALS Association, but thefunds will primarily be distributed to the fami-lies of three local people with ALS.

“We try to take care of the local families first,”said Murphy, “because they have so many ex-penses.”

The 100-mile ride begins on Main Street in AuSable Forks and takes motorcyclists north toPlattsburgh, then across to Lyon Mountain.

One of the past beneficiaries of the event, DonDuffy, is a former special education teacher andgirls hockey coach at Saranac Lake CentralSchool. In his honor, riders make a stop at Ga-Ga’sin Bloomingdale before returning to the startingpoint.

Following the ride is a barbecue dinner, the costof which is included with each rider’s registra-tion. Non-riders can also purchase the dinner forthe $15 registration fee.

Regardless of whether participants ride, thereare plenty of other reasons to get involved, suchas the silent auction, horseshoe tournament, and50-50 raffle. A live band, Lucid, will provide en-tertainment in the evening.

It is hard to believe we are at theMemorial Day weekend again. Hope-ful the community turns out for the

traditional Ceremony at the monumentsite. Hope you notice that the cemeterystaff has the grounds ready for this specialtime. This is a time to remember our lovedones and especially those that served inany of our military services.

Recently seventeen family members ofHoward & Irma Halen’s made a specialtrip to Washington D.C. to visit the Arling-ton Cemetery where they are buried. VickiDickerson reported that this was a verymeaningful trip and visit, great familygathering.

A reminder that the Knights of Colum-bus are sponsoring their annual BreakfastBuffet on Sunday, May 30 from 8 a.m. tonoon. The price is $7 for adults and $3.50for children with a deal of $20 for an im-mediate family.

It was sad to learn of the loss of ouryoung pharmacist, Peter Avery. He has de-cided to relocate closer to his home andfamily, we will miss his kindness in serv-ing our medical needs. Hats off to JimBowen, the owner, as he got right on to the

recruiting of coverage and a replacementperson as of the middle of July.

Hopeful that the public shows their ap-preciation by doing business with theAdirondack Apothecary Drug Store. Theytry very hard to meet our medical needs aswell as carrying other much needed items.We were also sad to learn of our supervisorresigning from the position. She has servedus well and we truly hated to see her giveup the job, but we respect that she knowswhat is best for her in carrying out the du-ties of this office at the present time. Wewish her well in the future.

The Willsboro United Methodist churchwill be serving a Roast Beef supper onWednesday, June 2, beginning at 4:30 p.m.with a $8 charge for adults and $4 for achild. Pastor McPheeters has enjoyed sev-eral trips this month to special inspira-tional events. He is also enjoying a first-time visit with his daughter since he hasbecome the pastor.

Happy Birthday to Ashley Ahrent 5/30,Dorothy Jacques 5/30, Brianna & BeittnaySchrieber 5/31, Ada Hutchins 5/31. HappyAnniversary to Blanche & Joe Bruno 5/30and Peg & Ken Schnieder 5/31.

After a season of lively debate, theschool budget passed last weekby a healthy margin. It's hard to

take that as anything other than a ringingendorsement by the community of theschool board's and the superintendent'sperformances in coming up with a disci-plined budget under exceptionally difficultcircumstances.

Congratulations are in order to the boardas a whole, and in particular to its presi-dent, Mrs. Alice LaRock, who was reelect-ed unopposed to another five-year term,and whose leadership of the board hasbeen so productive. We should also recog-nize the efforts of Dr. John Gallagher, oursuperintendent, and Mrs. Michele Fried-man, our principal. Their knowledge andexpertise have done much to enrich ourschool and our community. Thanks forworking so hard for us—and for making itpossible for our great teachers and staff todo their important work, too.

The folks at the Westport Library Associ-ation are currently accepting donations ofbooks in good condition for their fabulousAnnual Book Sale, which is coming up July

9-11. You can drop off your books duringtheir regular hours, which are Tuesday &Thursday 10-6, and Saturday 9-1. No text-books, please.

The Wadhams Volunteer Fire Companyinvites the public to an Open House Tues-day, June 1 at 7 p.m. to welcome their newFire and Rescue truck to the community.It's a 1985 GMC that has recently been re-furbished and updated to meet the needsof the company, and it promises to be a sig-nificant asset to our community's emer-gency response capability. Come check itout as you chat with Wadhams firefightersand their families.

On Sunday, June 13, from 2 to 4 p.m.Martha Swan and Vitold Arste will host thesecond annual Hills Are Alive celebrationof local student artists at their beautifulproperty, 7176 Route 9N in Westport (justeast of Fitzgerald Road). Funds raised thisyear will help support the Crown PointString Ensemble, the Shakespeare-in-the-Park Youth Program, the Champlain ValleyFencing Club, and drumming workshopsfor (nearly) all ages with Jo Sallins. Morenext week on this exciting event.

June is fast approaching, and with itcomes the start of a busy summer inKeeseville. The Spring Fling,

Methodist Church Yard Sale, Farmers’ Mar-ket, Library Sales are among some of themany events just around the corner. Theseevents offer an opportunity to get rid ofitems no longer used for many people. Astrong word of caution though – as a li-brarian I often receive donated books,which is great unless the books are dam-aged or marked up badly. Basically, in-stead of throwing them away, people trans-fer the job to someone else. This is annoy-ing and time consuming and sometimescostly.

Pastor Edie Poland finds the same thinghappens at the Methodist Thrift Store. Witha volunteer staff and no profit margin itcan detract a lot from their charitable mis-sion if they have to throw out donateditems. Please, if it is not gently used –throw it out yourself. The Thrift Storeserves an important function to our com-munity.

Pastor Poland urges families who are the

victims of house fires to contact the Churchor Thrift Store any time to receive neededitems to replace those lost. Whether to re-ceive or give, call the Thrift Shop at 834-9918 or the Church at 834-7577. The Pastoralso wants to mention the June 6 perform-ance of the local praise band, Psalm 33, at11 a.m. Again contact the church for moredetails or visit their website at www.kee-sevilleharknessumc.com.

People interested in donating again gen-tly used books for the upcoming librarysale should contact the Keeseville PublicLibrary at 834-9054. It is best to contactprior to dropping off books in order todouble check if there are any particulartypes not needed or to make sure the staffis prepared to receive donations.

The Farmers’ Market will start at the endof June. Call the manager, Sam Hendren, at834-7306 if interested in becoming in-volved with this ongoing event. Next weekI will provide more information on the an-nual Spring Fling, which is a town wideyard sale event. Clean those attics orgarages!

Lakeside Preschool, located at BlackKettle Farm, will be having a springbarn dance and silent auction June

5. The auction and a chili dinner will startat 5:30 p.m., with the dancing commencingat 7 p.m. To be auctioned, among otheritems, are yoga lessons, a skateboard andtickets to the Depot Theater. Vermont fid-dler Pete Sutherland will be featured on thebandstand. Black Kettle Farm is located atthe intersection of Leaning Road and CookRoad, high above sleepy Whallonsburg.

On June 1, the traveling Van Hovens willpresent a program at the Belden Library onthe national parks of the southwest UnitedStates. This starts at 7:30 and refreshmentswill be served.

If you don’t have health insurance, youmay qualify for free colorectal, cervical andbreast cancer screening. Call 962-8101 formore information. As someone who’s hadcancer, I can say it’s best controlled whenfound early.

The long-awaited sewer project in thehamlet is getting underway. The funding is

all in place, the lawyers are contented andlast Thursday the board room at the townhall was crowded with contractors, govern-ment officials and engineers for a pre-con-struction conference. The contractors havebeen given their notices to proceed but youwon’t see much activity for a few weeks yet.I’ll keep you posted as this project unfolds.

In other good news, the Department ofHealth has approved plans for the new sep-tic system at the Whallonsburg Grange.There will be a 2000 gallon tank, leach fieldand 750 gallon grease trap for the futurekitchen.

Now that the weather seems to be settlingdown, it’s time to plant corn and beans. Iused to grow bush beans, but found thatpole beans have a much better flavor, takeup less room, and are a lot easier to pick. Iuse tepee-like structures, but pole beanswill also grow happily on fences or trellises.Some have brilliant red flowers and arequite decorative, but I like a variety calledFortex, which may not be flashy but pro-duces delicious beans all season long.

Our recent spell of surprisingly hot weather hasturned many people's thoughts turn towardspending more time outside - often with their

family pets. It's important to keep in mind that, not onlyare your tomatoes growing nicely and fragrant blossomsare on the trees, but there is also more opportunity foryour pet to be at risk of poisoning due to growth of toxicplants and potential exposure to common householdchemicals. Familiarizing yourself with common yard andgarden hazards and taking some preventative measuresnow can help you to keep your pets safe all summerlong. The Animal Poison Hotline (APH) and PROSARInternational Poison Center have some valuable tips:

Lawn care products such as fertilizers, herbicides, insec-ticides and fungicides are a potential risk for your pet ifthey are inappropriately stored or applied incorrectly. Dogs are especially good at findingpoorly stored containers, chewing them up and drinking or eating the contents. Dogsmay be exposed to insecticides by various means, such as digging up treated earth orchewing on pellets. Common springtime plants can be a source of trouble as well: Tulips(bulbs), lily of the valley and azaleas can be deadly to pets if ingested in large enoughquantities. Here are some general rules of thumb relating to both chemical and herbaltoxins: Read all package instructions carefully before any applying products to your lawnor garden, be sure you are mixing or applying chemicals correctly, check with your localgarden center about the safety of your garden plants, and be sure to close the top tightlyon all containers and put them in an area where your pets do not have access to them.

Our featured pet today is Skittles, a Domestic Shorthair/mix young lady whose friend-ly meow will announce her presence even before you see her walk into a room. She isquite the conversationalist. This sweet feline has a lot of charisma, which she uses to getthe attention she craves. Skittles is happy to jump onto your lap and give you gentlekisses and nuzzles. She values quiet times and gentle interactions with other cats. Skittleswould be a wonderful companion for anyone who needs a little love! If you come downto the shelter to meet her, she will be happy to tell you all about herself and win overyour heart. Stop by today to meet Skittles and her other furry friends!

ADIRONDACK CRYPTOGRAM

The men and women at Horace Nyehelped build the greatest countryin the world: the United States.

They are part of the “greatest generation”that Tom Brokaw wrote about. They areAmerican heroes.

They came from Moriah, Willsboro,Westport, Elizabethtown, Ticonderoga,Schroon Lake and just about every town inEssex County. They were the brave menand women who joined military serviceduring war and fought to keep us all free.They are our parents, grandparents, auntsand uncles that helped to raise each one ofus. They were our neighbors, our teachers,our volunteer firemen, our coaches, ourpolicemen and so much more. They helpedbuild the middle class in America thatlargely did not exist before World War II.

Frank is 85 years old and has blue-greyeyes and a devilish smile. Frank was just18 and graduating from high school whenhe joined the service at the dawn of WorldWar II.

“I learned that the military had a twistedsense of humor early on,” he said. “Mytraining was with the combat engineers. Aswe sailed to our destination I was sur-prised to learn that I would be going to In-dia as an engineer, the kind that drives alocomotive, not the kind that buildsbridges.”

At just eighteen, the responsibility foroperating that locomotive was terrifying.The Japanese constantly shot at the trainand Frank showed me a nasty scar that ranacross his hand and up his arm, the after-math of a Japanese bayonet attack.

“What I remember most was returning toNew York City at the war ’s end,” Franksaid. “They really put on the dog for us. Ican still taste that porterhouse steak.”

Alfred is 83 years old and is a large, im-posing man with a powerful handshake.Alfred was stationed at Okinawa, wheremany Japanese prisoners were held.

“The prisoners were quiet and humble,”he recalled. “I don’t think that they had yetcome to grips with losing the war.”

Pete is 82 and is a friendly man who is

kind toeveryone.Pete was atPusan dur-ing the Ko-rean War,an area thatcame underseveral ma-jor attacks.

“It wasso cold thatmany mengot frost-bite,” said Pete. “The conditions were hor-rible; to this day I’m not too fond of coldweather.”

Harris, 85, is a retired Lt. Colonel andflew C-46s and C-47s during World War II.In September 1942, Harris boarded a trainin Willsboro and got off in Texas. He in-tended to be a pilot but the Army had an-other idea in mind. In the end, Harris wonhis right to fly and completed his pilottraining. He shipped out to the Pacific The-ater and landed at Okinawa. Harris had anumber of close calls during the war in-cluding landing in a rice paddy on a returnflight from China. After the war, Harriswas a lifelong advocate for area veteransand helped many North Country soldiersget what they needed and deserved.

There are many other veterans at thehome that gave their all for us and they toodeserve our gratitude and our respect. Thenursing home is full of American heroes.They were faithful patriots, solid commu-nity citizens and now, in their senior years,they hold an important piece of EssexCounty and national heritage within them.Most are facing health challenges and needour support, and they have earned it. Inmy mind, the only difference in the resi-dents at the Horace Nye Nursing Homeand the rest of us is they are a little fartherdown the road on life’s journey. Remem-ber, all kids count.

Kids Count By Scot Hurlburt

Horace Nye: Hall of Heroes

According to scientists, mathe-maticians, and educators –hopeless nerds, all – the future

hasn’t happened yet. These so-called “in-tellectuals” insist that “the future,” bydefinition, is always one step ahead of us.

Elitist poppycock, I say. If we believethe nonfiction documentary “2010: TheYear We Make Contact” – and I don’t seewhy we shouldn’t – John Lithgow, the lateRoy Scheider, and a bunch of Soviet cos-monauts led by Helen Mirren are, at thismoment, sitting in a spaceship orbitingJupiter, learning that communists andcapitalists really can get along, if they’djust listen to each other. Even hopelessnerds have to admit that’s pretty futuris-tic.

If we look around, we can see plenty ofother less dramatic, but equally obvious,signs that the future is now. Some of thesesigns are terrifying – cars that parallelpark themselves, for instance, and thebreakfast menu at Subway – but the futurehas at least one thing going for it: every-thing is sleeker than ever before. And, ascommercials have taught us, the sleekerany concept or item, the better.

I’m not just talking about tennis rack-ets, aesthetic philosophies, and famous ac-tresses’ evening gowns, either. I’m talkingabout America’s most beloved form of en-tertainment, on which we spend literallyquintillions of dollars annually: the semi-weekly newspaper column.

Take “The Shallow Observer.” You

might no-tice thatthis week’sedition –the first ina while,becauseI’ve beenon the lec-ture circuitall spring,denounc-ing scien-tists, math-ematicians, and educators as hopelessnerds at colleges across the country – isshorter than usual. Shorter, yes, but somuch more potent that children and theelderly should consult a physician beforereading it.

Indeed, if the old “Shallow Observer”was a 24-ounce energy drink, the new“Shallow Observer” is a two-ounce energyshot. It might not taste as good, but itwon’t leave you feeling bloated, and yourhead will still be spinning five hours fromnow.

So welcome to “The Shallow Observer”of the future. If its awesome power does-n’t crush your mind like so much rubbishin a trash compactor, you just might learnto like it.

PLATTSBURGH — The North Country’snumber one priority is creating jobs.

That’s the point emphasized by Rep.William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, during atown hall meeting at the State University ofNew York at Plattsburgh May 22, at whichhundreds turned out to engage in a discussionof issues facing the 23rd Congressional Dis-trict.

Owens, who was elected to the Congres-sional seat last November following formerRep. John M. McHugh’s appointment as Sec-retary of the Army, gave the audience anoverview of his last six months in office. In hisaddress, Owens stated three main issues are atthe forefront of the minds of people withwhom he has spoken.

“I hear people talking about jobs. That wastrue during the campaign and that’s consis-tently true today. They talk about the deficit,they talk about health care,” said Owens. “Es-sentially in that order.”

With the North Country’s unemploymentrate hovering at approximately 10 percent,Owens said he understands the need for moregood-paying jobs topping people’s chief con-cerns. The War on Debt Act, which Owens in-troduced into the House of Representatives inlate April, would be a way to help combat that,he said, and potentially increase jobs in theU.S. The legislation, as proposed, would in-clude the creation of “War on Debt Bonds” thatwould require 30 years to mature before beingredeemed. Proceeds from the bonds would beused to reduce the amount of public debt inforeign countries, particularly China, saidOwens.

Economists believe currency would appre-ciate in value up to 40 percent, said Owens,and up to a million jobs could be repatriatedto the United States. That, when paired withputting caps on further increases in deficitsand debt would help the country’s situation as

well, added the congressman.“Those are the kinds of things we need to be

focused on to get the economy back up andrunning,” said Owens. “In addition to that, wehave to become responsible in how we spend

the money and figure out ways — and it’s go-ing to take some creative activity — to get thatdone.”

However, healing the economy will taketime, said Owens.

“After World War II, the debt to [gross do-mestic product] ratio was 121 percent. It tookus 20 years to get it down to 40 percent. It tookus another 30 years to get it down to a surplus,which occurred at the end of the Clinton ad-ministration — the first time that occurredsince the end of World War II,” said Owens.“There is tremendous difficulty in thisprocess.”

During the remainder of the open forum,Owens addressed issues including immigra-tion reform, health care and corporatebailouts, hearing concerns and viewpointsfrom several constituents. The dialogueopened that day is what will help move theCongressional district and the nation in theright direction, said Owens.

“I think we got people really engaged in thedebate, which was what I really wanted to do,”the congressman said following the forum.“Now, what I’m hoping is people will thinkabout this over the next couple of days orweeks, that they’ll get back to us with somegood suggestions as to what we can do.”

Owens said the tone of the discussion was“very civil, even when people clearly didn’tagree with me or other members of the audi-ence.” He also noted he would have liked to

have heard from representatives of the Up-state New York Tea Party, an organizationwhose mission is “to advocate for reducedgovernment spending, lower taxes, and lessgovernment.” The group has been publiclycritical of Owens’ stance on issues, includingthe War on Deb Act, which UNYTEA chairmanMark L. Barie has previously called “ a cyni-cal attempt to fool North Country voters in tothinking that he is a fiscal conservative.”

Owens said though the group has alleged hehas not made himself publicly availableenough, he disagreed.

“I think I’ve been as accessible as I can pos-sibly be in my tenure in office,” said Owens,citing hundreds of visits in the past six monthsto places including Plattsburgh, Saranac Lake,Fort Drum and Watertown. “And, I intend tocontinue that.”

As for UNYTEA, Owens said the group —which chose to protest Owens presence out-side in the Angell College Center Plaza — wasinvited to come into the forum “like everyoneelse.”

“I have no idea why they would choose notto come in and ask questions and engage in thedebate,” Owens said.

When reached for comment, Barie statedUNYTEA members chose not to go inside dueto an e-mail allegedly circulated prior to theforum accusing UNYTEA members of plottingto disrupt the forum and “stack” it with mem-bers of their organization.

“Under the circumstances, I viewed ourpresence at the forum as a recipe for a con-frontation and asked our members to stayaway,” said Barie.

Jordan Bezio and John Sikandar each hadthree hits for AuSable Valley and combinedfor three RBI. Curtis Loreman, A.J. Gordon,and Alex LaFountain, Sawyer Taro andDustin Miller each added two hits.

The Blue Bombers also had the bats goinghowever, getting three hits apiece fromChris Orsi and Skyler Comins. J.P. Morrisonand Ryan Myers each added two hits, andWill Tennant hit a 2-run triple in the first anda big 2-run double in the fifth to help LakePlacid regain the lead.

“They’re a scrappy bunch, and I wishthem the best in the [Class D Sectionals],”Douglas said of Lake Placid. “Every year Icome up here it’s like this; you just can’t putthem away.”

“We hit a lot better,” said Lake Placid headcoach Brian Brandes, noting how his team’s

17 hits showed a lot of improvement com-pared to the three hits they managed in their13-1 loss to AVCS earlier in the season.

The Blue Bombers took an early 4-0 leadin the first with hits from five of their firstsix batters, but the Patriots fired back with asix-run inning in which Lake Placid commit-ted three of their six errors.

AuSable Valley improved their record to10-4 with the win, taking a step closer to atie for first with Ticonderoga for the DivisionII title.

Taro was awarded the win in relief at themound, striking out three while giving up

five hits and two walks in the final four in-nings. Tennant, charged with the loss, struckout five and walked three through six in-nings.

TUPPER LAKE — A coalition of state rep-resentatives and local leaders from theAdirondacks met with residents here lastweek and brainstormed ways to improve eco-nomic conditions for communities inside theBlue Line.

The Adirondack Caucus held the second ina series of town hall meetings at Tupper LakeHigh School May 20 in an effort to hear sug-gestions from the public as they work to es-tablish a special “economic zone” in theAdirondacks.

Assemblywomen Janet Duprey and TeresaSayward headlined a panel that also includ-ed some officials in local government.

Duprey said one of the main goals of theCaucus is to establish a program that will of-fer tax credits to small businesses within thepark, even those with as few as two or threeemployees.

Garry Douglas, president and CEO of thePlattsburgh-North Country Chamber ofCommerce, praised the idea of an Adirondackcaucus as a way to get strength in numbers.

“The state has acknowledged consistentlythat this area is a unique area,” said Douglas,“and it has a unique responsibility to tacklethe economic sustainability of the communi-ties in the park, whether that’s taken from a

special zone or some other means.” Several people in the audience took the op-

portunity to comment, many addressing con-cerns about the APA permitting process as adeterrent to businesses.

Jim LaValley is president of AdirondackResidents Intent on Saving their Economy, agrassroots group of volunteers who pooled

their resources to renovate and re-open theBig Tupper ski area. He said enough is beingdone to make sites available for development,but not enough is being done to quell the fearof potential developers.

LaValley was one of several people to pointto the ongoing adjudicatory process sur-rounding the proposed Adirondack Club and

Resort project, a multi-million dollar devel-opment project centered around Big Tupper.

“There are another two handfuls of busi-ness looking to move into this region,” saidLaValley, “but they’re waiting for the ACR tobe approved.

Sayward mentioned the possibility of try-ing to establish an “economic arm” to theAdirondack Park Agency that would alloweconomic impact development projects to beweighed in the review process and hopefullyallow such projects to be permitted faster.

Some hinted the addition of economic-fo-cused staff at the APA may be timely amidstthe pending retirement of Steve Erman, theagency’s former Special Assistant for Eco-nomic Affairs.

“We’re going to be looking at how to fillthat position,” said APA Executive DirectorTerry Martino, who called the concept of aneconomic “branch” at the APA “somethingwe would encourage talking further about.”

Martino called the dialogue at the meeting“refreshing” and noted some of the ideas cur-rently being considered within the APA tobenefit communities in the park, such as us-ing the money collected from penalties andfines in a “planning fund” to be used byAdirondack towns and villages.

“I think the comments tonight were fantas-tic,” said Duprey, expressing optimism for re-form through collaboration.

MENDHAM, N.J. — Kathleen, a bright eyedteenage girl stood up from her desk as she fin-ished an English class Thursday. Minutes earlier,she had discussed a composition assignmentwith her teacher.

Although resembling a prep-school student,Kathleen had a different background. Just eightmonths earlier, she was shooting heroin daily andsnorting coke, and was ”on the run” from police— and when picked up on drug charges, she as-saulted a police officer and kicked out his patrolcar window.

Standing in Daytop Mendham adolescent sub-stance abuse rehabilitation center, she talked ofhow her future now looks very promising, andhow she looked forward to college and a careerin psychology or social work. Her transforma-tion, she said, was due to the Daytop program.

Town of Essex farmer Sandy Lewis, a retiredWall Street executive, is proposing to establish asimilar program in Essex County. His preferredsite is the former Essex County Home in Whal-lonsburg, not far from his organic farm operation.

Lewis is seeking community support for sucha facility, a necessary first step before the state willallow it to open — so he sponsored a trip for coun-ty officials to visit the rehab center in Mendham,N.J. May 20.

Kathleen was one of dozens of teens who madea big impression when Essex County officials vis-

ited the facility, watching classroom activities andparticipating in group sessions.

Lewis County Supervisor David Blades, a for-mer state Trooper, said he was surprised with thecourtesy, attentiveness and thoughtfulness thatthe teens demonstrated, particularly those whowere reputed to be members of urban gangs.Blades was also a school principal and BOCES ad-ministrator.

“All my preconceived notions about rehabili-tation have been blown out of the water,” he toldthe teens. “I know you’re going to be very proudof what you’ve accomplished in life.”

Essex County Assistant District Attorney Bri-an Felton said he was impressed by how the for-mer addicts took responsibility for their actions,whether it was the behavior in their past life, ornow freely admitting to other behavior violationslike littering, or snubbing others.

“It looks like the program is really making adifference in each of their lives,” he said. “Eachteenager is in a different phase, and you can de-tect a marked difference — it’s very telling to theprogram’s success.”

He said he was surprised, as a prosecutor andcounty Drug Court facilitator, over their sensitiv-ity to others’ needs and feelings, openly talkabout their own issues, and listen intently to bothpeers and adults.

“Their openness as to their past and their de-sire to change was amazing,” Felton said. “De-spite what they’ve been through, they still havehopes and goals.”

Calvin Cumm of Whallonsburg, a neighbor ofLewis’ farm, said he also was impressed abouthow people stood up and admitted wrongdoing.

“It looks like they are really learning integrity,which is really neat,” he said. “Some neighborsnear the Old County Home have been worriedabout these kids being out in their community,but I don’t think anything like that will happen.”

County officials impressed by rehab facility

Former teen drug addicts talked about their feel-ings, accomplishments and hopes for the futureThursday during a group session at the DaytopMendham rehabilitation center in New Jersey. Es-sex County officials toured the facility May 20.Daytop School Psychologist James Tambini(lower right) guides the session.

Nobody Does It Better!Valley News

By Thom [email protected]

ESSEX — Local organic farmer and philan-thropist Sandy Lewis said Friday that thecost of his proposed addiction treatment fa-cility wouldn’t be shouldered by local tax-payers — and it could serve as a model pro-gram to train social workers and rehab cen-ter managers in effective rehabilitation tech-niques.

Lewis hosted a trip of county officials toMendham, N.J., May 20 to visit the Daytopadolescent substance abuse rehabilitationcenter, to which he has contributed substan-tially. The trip was sponsored to show the of-ficials the benefits of such a facility, for bothits clients and its host community. Thosewho took the trip said they were impressedwith the Daytop program and how it was ap-parently changing teenager ’s lives dramati-cally.

Until this week, Lewis had not directly ad-dressed the question of financing the pro-posed facility, which has left county officialsguessing. Friday, he made his intentionsknown in a phone call to Denton Publica-tions.

“County finances are not involved here,”he said. “We don’t want county involve-ment, we just want their support.”

Lewis cited Daytop Mendham’s financesas a model that could be followed. DaytopChief Financial Officer Jordana Zeger saidThursday that a combination of state andfederal grants and private donations andcorporate endowments launched the Mend-ham facility.

The annual operating expenses, which sheestimated to be about $4.5 million per year,also draws on a variety of sources, she said.Most of the sum is spent on local payroll.

The Daytop residential facility is author-ized to accommodate 70 teenagers, andthere’s a waiting list, Daytop Executive Di-rector James Curtin said. The current popu-lation includes 58 residential students and12 in day school. Curtin said no clients areadmitted to the program that are eitherovertly violent, and no sexual offenders areaccommodated — fears common to hostcommunities.

Daytop officials said their center was well

accepted in Mendham, one of the nation’sseven most affluent communities. An aver-age three-bedroom home in Mendham, theysaid, is worth $1 million.

Zeger said that the Daytop center ’s oper-ating costs are paid by a combination ofsources. About 81 percent of the moneycomes from state and federal programs un-derwriting rehabilitation, 14 percent comesfrom insurance company and HMO reim-bursement, four percent from public assis-tance, and one percent from families payingdirectly for the treatment.

No portion of the sum goes toward a mort-gage, as a religious organization leases thespacious plot of land and buildings to Day-top for $1 per year.

Although Daytop officials offered a finan-cial outline Thursday, apparently Lewis hadnot shared his financial plans for the pro-posed facility with Essex County supervi-sors, as those officials attending a Ways andMeans Committee meeting Monday saidthey were in the dark.

“Is he financially going to back this situa-tion? Is he looking for the county just to en-dorse it? Is he looking for the county to build

it?” asked Randy Douglas, chairman of thecounty Board of Supervisors. “I don’t havethe answers to all of those questions.”

North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi, chairof the county Ways and Means Committee,aired a similar view.

“It is somewhat premature at this time tobe considering anything other than the con-ceptual overview,” he said.

At the very least, Lewis was indeed seek-ing to garner support for the concept of a lo-cal treatment center. Routinely in New YorkState, municipal and community support ofproposed health care facilities must be doc-umented and submitted to the state and fed-eral agencies before the centers or clinics areapproved or granted a license to operate.

At the same time, another question looms:the facility’s location.

Lewis’ preferred site for the proposedtreatment center is the former Essex CountyHome. Located in Whallonsburg, thesprawling brick building is owned by theLeaveners Community Foundation, a non-profit Kansas-based organization which isseeking to develop a respite center for healthand humanitarian workers.

Foundation President Erik Kilgren saidMonday night that the group plans to con-tinue their development effort.

“We have no plans at this time to sell theWhallonsburg property,” he said.

But Lewis said this week that he might befacilitating an offer that would be difficult to

refuse — or he might locate the treatmentcenter elsewhere.

The fact that the old County Home prop-erty is adjacent to his farming operation hasmade it the prime location for the proposedfacility, he said, noting that clients of thecenter could work on his farm and gain newskills and experiences becoming close to na-ture.

The old property includes the “NorthFarm” and “South Farm” land — totalingabout 1,100 acres. These two land parcels,which exclude the old County Homegrounds, are owned by Robert Thall and aretogether assessed at more than $650,000.

Lewis also said this week that the pro-posed facility could be a training center forprospective or existing employees of reha-bilitation centers nationwide.

These adult students, he indicated, couldlearn the Daytop principles that county offi-cials witnessed firsthand on May 20 — socialworkers and teachers reaching out to formeraddicts in a non-judgmental way, creatingstructure in the teenagers’ lives, engender-ing attitudes of caring and mutual respect,while heightening the youths’ emotionalsensitivity and self-awareness.

“The issue is, does our community want tosave children’s lives up here in upstate NewYork?” Lewis asked.

Finishing a tour of a adolescent drug rehabilita-tion center in Mendham New Jersey, Essex Coun-ty officials said they were impressed by the pro-gram and they’d support a similar facility if it werelaunched here with financing that didn’t burdentaxpayers. Included in the trip were (front, left toright): county Assistant District Attorney BrianFelton, Lewis Supervisor Dave Blades, (rear):Whallonsburg resident Calvin Cumm, and coun-ty Clerk Joe Provoncha.

BroadbandFrom page 1drawing some of the biggest communicationsstakeholders in the region together to review thefuture of broadband access in the North Country.

Bill Johnson, the Assistant Deputy Director atthe NYS Office of Cyber Security and Critical In-frastructure Coordination, explained how manyof the homes of Little’s six-county district, rough-ly 73 percent, already have access to some formof broadband service, defined as internet servicewith speeds of at least 768 kilobits per second.

About the same number of households is with-in the coverage area of wireless phone serviceproviders with 3G capability, which allows wire-less broadband internet connections on comput-ers and hand-held devices.

Still, there are more than 14,000 households inthe North Country with no access to either serv-ice. Most are in communities central to theAdirondacks.

“A lot of the unserved areas are very low den-

sity,” Johnson explained; “up to 15 people persquare mile.”

Also, more than 40 percent of those unservedhomes are understood to be seasonal homes.

Dr. Melodie Mayberry-Stewart, chair of theNYS Broadband Development and DeploymentCouncil outlined some of the state’s goals inbringing the state up to speed with other parts ofthe world in terms of its broadband network.

The goal is not only to make broadband moreaccessible to underserved areas, she explained,but also to encourage more households to utilizethe service.

“It has to be affordable and they have to under-stand the value and how it will impact theirlives,” she said.

To make broadband more accessible and af-fordable, a series of grants have been made avail-able through the federal American Recovery andReinvestment Act. Round one of the grants wasdistributed last December and included projectsto establish broadband networks in Jefferson, St.Lawrence, and Franklin Counties.

Several entities, both public and private, arecurrently submitting applications for Round 2 ofthe grants, which are expected to bring even morefunds to the region.

Among those entities is CBN Connect, a pri-vate nonprofit devoted to expanding broadbandin Clinton, Essex, and Franklin Counties. HowardLowe, director of Economic Development atSUNY Plattsburgh, is president of its Project Ad-visory Board.

“We’re committed to making sure that our ru-ral areas have the broadband access to be compet-itive in the global marketplace,” said Lowe, whonoted broadband expansion is key to encourag-ing young people to stay in the region.

One of the growing trends among young peo-ple, Lowe said, is that many are becoming accus-tomed to “having their computer in their pocket”through 3G coverage.

“That’s not doable in much of the region, andwe have to find a way to make that happen ifwe’re going to keep our communities sustain-able.”

Lowe said CBN Connect is currently workingon a Telemedicine network that will connect hos-pitals in Saranac Lake, Malone, Elizabethtown,Plattsburgh, and St. Regis with a 260-mile ring offiber-optic network line, some of which could beleased to internet service providers.

“We have the funds to begin building that net-work later this year,” said Lowe, “maybe thisfall.”

CBN Connect Executive Director Julie Westsaid the organization has also applied for a Round2 grant in hopes of laying down new fiber throughWarren, Washington, and Hamilton Counties.

“We will not be a service provider to endusers,” she explained. “We will be a transport forservice providers to end users.”

The proposal for the 1,023-mile loop is one ofmany projects throughout the North Country thatwill await announcement of the Round 2 grantawards, expected sometime this fall.

EngagementGoff - De Cicco

LEWIS — Mr. andMrs. Hugh WilliamGoff of Lewis an-nounce the engage-ment of theirdaughter, AmandaTaylor Goff, to PaulDe Cicco, son ofGiuseppe and AnnDe Cicco ofCheshunt, England.

Amanda Goffgraduated fromElizabethtown-Lewis CentralSchool. She is also agraduate of SUNYPotsdam with aBachelor ’s degree in Studio Arts and Business.

Paul De Cicco graduated from Turnford School,England. He then went on to graduate from WillisCollege, Ottawa, Canada, as a Microsoft CertifiedSystems Engineer and is currently working at IBM.

An October 2010 wedding is planned.

CorrectionThe April 10 issue of Valley News featured an arti-

cle entitled “Lewis pitches plan for addiction center.”This article incorrectly stated that little work has beendone on the old Essex County Home near Whallons-burg and suggested the owners might consider sell-ing it. In fact, Leaveners Community Foundation, thenonprofit that owns the building, is not interested inselling the property. Leaveners Community Founda-tion has hired more than a dozen contractors whohave renovated the buildings there with an APA-ap-proved septic system. The north building in particu-lar has been renovated with a life safety system, newelectrical wiring, underground electrical service, anda new heating system.
