During the June 28 com-mittee meeting, some mem-bers of the committee wereupset with estimates madeby town supervisors GeraldMorrow of Chesterfield andSandy Senecal of Ausable.

“I think to sustain theseservices, seeing a lot of zerosreally bothers me that therewould not be an increasesomewhere along the line,”village Trustee Mary Kingsaid.

“It gives people the wrongimpression that there is noadded costs when the vil-lage goes away,” addedMayor Dale Holderman, to

SCOTUS ruling had mixed reactionBy Katherine [email protected]

ELIZABETHTOWN — There were mixedreactions across the country Thursdaymorning as the Supreme Court approved amotion to uphold the Affordable Care Act.

Supporters of “Obamacare” and thosewho opposed the bill sat outside the court-house waving banners and sporting t-shirts to support their side.

Locally, many reacted with some level ofconcern and uncertainty.

“I am not sure how to form an opinion onthis yet, I’ll have to do some more researchabout it,” Julius Burres of Willsboro said.

Many of those talked to by the ValleyNews responded the same way, saying theywere concerned over the individual man-date requiring that most Americans buyhealth insurance or pay a fine has beendeemed constitutional as a tax.

The tax would be less than paying forhealthcare but for those who own a smallbusiness or are self employed, it could bedifficult to pay.

Dylan Gregson, a local mason who runshis own company, said the mandate wouldbe crippling if his wife wasn’t providedhealth care through her job.

“I pay $10,000 a year alone in insurance,just for car, homeowners insurance and in-surance for my company,” Gregson said.“If I didn’t have health insurance, I would-

n’t be able pay that tax.”Other people worried what the mandate

would look like for those recently enteringthe workforce. Mary Stanley of Witherbeesaid she worried how the bill will negative-ly affect newcomers into the workforce,some with student loans about to be col-lected and living with a low startingsalaries.

“I just don’t think its fair to force some-one to pay for something, especially thesekids who are just starting out,” Stanleysaid.

Katheryn Cramer, responded to a ValleyNews Facebook post via that as a free lancewriter, it would be harder to get health in-surance without working for someone fulltime.

“As someone who works in the arts, itmakes it easier for me to work book to bookunder contract to publishers, rather thanfinding myself at some point in the posi-tion of having to take a full time job in or-der to gain access to affordable health ben-efits,” Cramer wrote.

Gerard Amedir said he has mixed feel-ings about the healthcare mandate but be-lieves it has the potential to be a move inthe right direction for national healthcarecoverage.

“It’s going to be difficult and I am inter-ested to see how it works out,” Amedirsaid.

Housing groups receive fundingPLATTSBURGH — The North Country

Regional Economic Development Counciltoday announced that 13 housing rehabilita-tion and community development projectshave signed contracts with the state and aremoving forward with the first stages of$4,565,160 in awards from Governor An-drew M. Cuomo’s Regional Council initia-tive. The projects will restore and rehabili-tate homes for 213 families in Jefferson, St.Lawrence, Lewis, Clinton, Franklin and Es-sex Counties, and help to improve the livesof hundreds of New Yorkers.

Investments made through the RegionalCouncils will be administered by New YorkState Homes and Community Renewal, thestate’s housing agency. The North CountryHousing Rehabilitation investments thathave executed contracts to-date include:

•$400,000 to the Town of Willsboro,through the CDBG program, to rehabilitate13 severely substandard homes in the town

•$400,000 to the Town of Lewis, throughthe CDBG program, to rehabilitate 13 se-verely substandard homes in the town

•$400,000 to Housing Assistance Programof Essex County, Inc., through the HOMEprogram, to rehabilitate 12 owner-occupiedhomes in Essex County

“New York State’s economic renaissancedepends as much upon the vibrancy of itssmall cities and rural communities as it doeson its large cities,” Tony Collins, Presidentof Clarkson University and Regional Coun-

cil co-chair, said. “Ensuring affordable andsafe places for our workforce and families tolive is a priority across the region. Morethan half of residential housing in the NorthCountry was constructed before the 1950-59decade. Renovations that upgrade safetyand energy-efficiency create jobs as well asserve our working families and elderly res-idents.”

“Our Regional Economic DevelopmentPlan recognizes that quality communitiesare essential to economic growth, especiallyin the North Country,” Garry Douglas, Pres-ident of the North Country Chamber ofCommerce and Regional Council co-chair,said. “And having quality housing is essen-tial to having quality communities, which iswhy we welcome this significant investmentin our region's housing stock. We thank Gov-ernor Cuomo and his administration fortheir continuing commitment to the NorthCountry and to the implementation of thecommunity development components of ourregional plan.”

It seems harmless enough. A re-porter writes a story about aschool program and a reader com-

ments online that teachers do nothingall summer, and suddenly, the majorityof comments revolve around that com-ment.

Or, a reader sends in a speakout sub-mittal and moans about firefighters sit-ting around doing nothing.

Neither comment is remotely true, yetenough members of the public believethem, so the false statements spread andbefore you know it they have becomereality for some.

To make matters worse, it’s budgettime and many taxpayers now plan tovote no on the school budget, while thefire department suddenly looks like agood place for the city to cut.

Whether it’s misinformation or disin-formation, these exaggerations and un-truths often become the reality for avery large number of people.

Media organizations could institutestricter rules for reader submissions,but it is much more widespread thanthat.

Public meetings with public commentportions are notorious for inviting indi-viduals who make exaggerated andfalse claims. Someone could come outand say that the union president isstealing taxpayers’ funds, the mediacould report the next day that the state-ment was false, and still, a large portionof the population, either because theywere there or heard the commentthrough the rumor chain, believes theinformation to be true.

Again, that may not seem important,but it is, especially when budgets passor fail by a couple hundred votes.

The municipality cannot suddenly be-come totalitarian and restrict freespeech, but at the same time, it is pa-thetic when free speech used malicious-ly negatively impacts people, the budg-et process, an important decision, posi-tions and more.

There are some steps that can be tak-en, though.

As Plattsburgh Mayor Donald

Kasprzak suggested, public officialsshould maintain an open-door policy toensure they are available to quell suchrumors and provide constituents withthe factual information.

Public officials also have a responsi-bility to speak up and speak out. If andwhen they know something exaggeratedor false is being put out there, vigorous-ly stand up to that untruth and shoutthe truth for all to hear.

The public itself also has a responsi-bility to receive information criticallyand not just believe it is true because itwas heard or read somewhere. Verifythe information and seek out sourcesthat can verify the information.

This is especially important when theinformation coincides with one’s be-liefs, politics and morality. Democrats,for example, have a tendency to take iton face value when a member of theirparty issues information, even if that in-formation seems outrageous. Then,those same individuals will demand aridiculous amount of sources if a Re-publican makes a statement as simple asthe sky is blue.

The same can be said by so manygroups. Frustrated taxpayers often needonly hear one individual, even if it ispublic knowledge this person was justreleased from jail, say that the schooldistrict is spending money frivolously,and suddenly that information becomesfact without it being verified by anyone.

Finally, all of us, not just public offi-cials, but all of us have a responsibilityto speak out when false and exaggerat-ed information is delivered to the publicas truth. And while we cannot restrictfree speech, there is nothing wrong withshaming someone who intentionallyuses that right recklessly and malicious-ly.

False information can be harmful

For someone who still considers himself anovice at writing a weekly commentary, Istruggle coming up with a topic each

week, frequently agonizing throughout theweekend, trying to play out some outlines in myhead before sitting down in front of the comput-er Sunday evening to work up the first draft.Somehow the folks in Washington and Albanycontinue to provide me material to work withand I hope that, for you, the reader, they are mat-ters of interest, worth investing some time to di-gest.

Well, this last week was a real bell ringer, start-ing the landmark decision by the Supreme Courton the Affordable Health Care Act. Not only wasthe outcome a surprise, as most pundits had theodds on the Court’s finding at least a portion ofthe legislation unconstitutional, but the votes byChief Justice Roberts and Justice Kennedyseemed out of character. In the 5-4 split decisionthe normally conservative Roberts opted to sidewith the more liberal justices, while JusticeKennedy, a moderate, who normally comes in onthe side of the more liberal judges, opted to rulewith the majority.

Going into the major ruling last week theSupreme Court, like most branches of govern-ment these days, hasn’t posted a high favorablerating among the American public. Prior to themost recent rulings, the Rasmussen Report hadthe justices at a 34 percent excellent or good rat-ing while 17 percent rated the court poor. Afterthe rulings, the excellent to good rating droppedto 22 percent, while the poor rating had in-creased to 30 percent. Now, I’m no expert on con-stitutional law or the voting records of the jus-tices, but it seems to me that over the course oftime, based on the presidential appointments,justices bring a certain political slant to thebench. I do understand the justices are supposedto be impartial, but let’s face it, in Washington, toreach the level of a lifetime appointment in theSupreme Court, the highest in our land, I mustadmit I am skeptical that all that political bag-gage can be left at the door. We carry a certainbias slant based on years of experience.

I can’t help but notice that, given the time theCourt had to deliberate the merits of the legisla-tion, the positions on both side of the argument,the current public opinion regarding the Afford-able Health Care Act and the opinion shared bymany that the vote would come down to JusticeKennedy’s vote, that once it became apparent tothe court members that it was to be a 5-4 split de-

cision upholdingthe constitutional-ity by consideringit a tax and not aforced mandate,that the justicesdid two things toposture the court.Firstly, they founda solution bysending the final decision on Affordable HealthCare back to the people, leaving its future in thehands of the voters during the fall election. Sec-ondly, could Justice Roberts and Justice Kennedy,once they realized nothing would change the 5-4vote, reverse roles to give the appearance of avote not along partisan lines? Now, nobody’ssaying it, but one can’t help, in this political cli-mate, to be skeptical, especially when JusticeRoberts joked that now the court has finished itssession he will go to an “impregnable islandfortress.” I think the court punted the ball backto the American people, and perhaps that’swhere the final decision on this legislationshould ultimately reside.

On the same day the court ruled on healthcare, we witnessed Nancy Pelosi lead more than100 Democrats up the aisle and out of the Housechamber to boycott the first of two Attorney Gen-eral Holder contempt votes, saying Republicanswere more interested in shameful election-yearpolitics than getting their hands on documentsfor the Fast and Furious debacle. Instead of do-ing their jobs they stood outside and in unisonshouted “Shameful – Shameful” showing theircontempt for their Republican counterparts. It’shard to respect the institution and these memberswith grandstanding such as this. Thankfully De-mocrat representative William Owens, who rep-resents many of our readers, stayed on the floorand voted for “transparency.” Regardless ofwhich way he voted, he did the job he was elect-ed to do by staying at his post and registering hisvote on behalf of his constituents.

Regardless of your personal feelings on healthcare, immigration or the Holder contempt hear-ings, the craziness of all these political tacticsshould leave us all wondering what’s the realtruth, who can we really believe and how onearth can we get these people to stop the childishfighting and get to work solving the real prob-lems facing our nation and our children?

lieve that Jeffer-son’s many re-marks about liber-ty and freedomwere aimed at theinternal forces inplay in Americaand not the exter-nal forces in playat that time. Jef-ferson’s predic-tions about corpo-

rate greed and the large scale takeover ofgovernment by moneyed interests seemvery real in 2012. Jefferson railed againstthe wealthy just as the 99-percenters donow in 2012.

Experience demands that man is the onlyanimal that devours his own kind for I canapply no milder term to the general prey ofthe rich on the poor.

Though penned hundreds of years agoby Jefferson, this sentiment, more thanany other, seems to be the energy behindthe occupy movement and the realizationby millions of young people that some-thing is very wrong in America.

While the occupy movement has beenheavily criticized by many and in my es-timation, largely ignored, I believe thatJefferson would have been relieved thatwhen the American people perceive aninjustice they raise their voices together.

Perhaps the occupy movement will bethe face of the revolution for this genera-tion. It is a face that is concerned with itsown present and future and rightfully so.

The actions of our politicians and na-tional leaders has at times become so tox-ically partisan, so lacking in logic thatthe revolution for this generation maynot include simply thinking outside thebox, but rather creating a new theoreti-cal box. The current lines have beendrawn by long seated bureaucrats ortheir constituency who too often repre-sent only the interests of other individu-als or groups who hold power.

By most reckoning, that arrangementamounts to the 1-percent who hold a vastmajority of the wealth and power in thiscountry while the 99-percent scratch forthe crumbs that are left over.

In America, we teach our children tohave dreams, to aspire toward personalfulfillment and satisfaction. The circum-stances that exist now for many youngAmericans may rob them of this essentialAmerican experience.

For this generation to have its revolu-tion, they may have to ignore the voicesof those who seek to uphold the statusquo. I hope that the voices of this genera-tion’s revolution will not be stifled ormuted by the powerful voices of thosewho represent the biggest divide in eco-nomic, political and social power inAmerican history.

If America is to continue as a worldleader, this generation must have theirrevolution as every American generationhas had. To be forever stuck in a placewhere the societal playing field for themajority remains unchanged or declinesdoesn’t sound very American or verydemocratic.

I believe that the essential greatness inAmerica has been its ability to change it-self, and having the freedom to createchange is crucial to that end. I believethat we still have the freedom to makechange and I for one can hear the voicesof young Americans calling for that pos-sibility.

Kids Count By Scot Hurlburt

Big kid bullies

We all hear the tales of school kidsgetting picked on or harassed bythe bully, but what about the

adult cases?Something that I have come to realize over

time is that bullying is something that hap-pens throughout life, no matter how old youare. Just because kids leave school and startto grow up and go out into the world doesnot mean that there are not those who willseek to bring them down through intimida-tion and threats.

At school, most people knew who the bul-ly was. I know that I knew who they wereand made sure to stay out of their way in or-der to have a good day.

As adults, the bully can now come inmany forms and in many different parts of

society.There are those that will attempt to use

their position as leverage, keeping the otherperson down and trying to make them feelless important. They will use thatperceived power to force othersinto demeaning situations or ac-tions, only seeking personal grati-fication at the cost of others.

There are those that you coulddescribe as the “parent bully,” whowill use their children as a pawn totry and exercise control over oth-ers. This one is seen a lot in theworld of youth and high schoolsports. You know what I am talking about,the parent that yells at the coach because lit-tle Jimmy and Sally can do no wrong in theireyes, even when they do. They try to get thecoach, or even a teacher, released or fired be-

cause they feel he or she is being unfair totheir child.

Of course, there is also the parent bullythat uses undue influence and fear tactics on

their own children. While lines arecrossed in all kinds of bullying,this is the one where the conse-quences can be very severe andlife lasting.

There are the ones that use si-lence and lack of respect to putothers down, ignoring those whospeak to them or treating otherslike they have no right to engagethem in a conversation.

These, and many more, are out there, and Iam sure that you have had course to run intothese people in one, if not multiple, forms.

Bullying has been in the spotlight for thepast few years, and more recently in several

news stories. Heck, someone made $600,000because a tape of them being bullied madeits way to the national news.

Yes, just because you’re out of school doesnot mean bullying ends. However, what isincreased is your ability to deal with it. Youmay not know it is bullying right away, butyou will, and then comes the time to justwalk away from it. If it comes via telephone,then we now have caller ID. If it comes viaFacebook, we can unfriend. If it comes viaemail, we can stop responding and reportthat person as spam.

But whether in school or in the game oflife, the one thing to remember stays thesame — remember who you are, how goodyou are, and how little their jeers mean inthe overall picture.

The Tank by Keith Lobdell

Response to columnTo the Valley News:I'd like to respond to your "viewpoint" of

June 16. Your thoughts are right on whenlooking at the way our government is per-forming at this minute but that performancehas been the norm for many years if not sinceits inception. You used "zigzag" and that hasbeen the voters method to try to move gov-ernment to the desired path for many yearsand it has been met by big money negatingthe peoples desires. The latest SupremeCourt edict to give business the same statusas people seems to put the nail in the coffin.An interesting study was made concerningthe actions of military officers when makingdecisions. Seems that their annual evalua-tion was the most important guide as to howthey performed and not the country as awhole. I think this is indicative of govern-ment employees whether in mil. or other ar-eas and the treatment of whistle blowersseems to prove that. If we apply this to a cor-poration I feel that this will hold true therealso. I read your thoughts every week andhope that you do not stop. Don't alwaysagree but think it is good.Thank you.

On a local point, Elizabethtown villagefolks were able to vote on the sewer systembut now that we talk, "planning," those out-side the old village do not get a vote onwhether they want to be covered by the plan-ning document. Why? We have enough con-trol and don't need the "do gooders" tellingus what to do. What happened to doingthings right?

Follow up to ‘stand up’To the Valley News:A follow up to: “We need to stand up for

our First Amendment Rights.”At the end of February I wrote to the pa-

per decrying the fact that I must pay realproperty taxes to support property ownersthe have property tax exemptions, particu-larly not-for-profit or non-profit enterprises.I pointed out that I have reasons not to agreewith the purposes of some of those organi-zations and that I would not give them apenny (or any other amount) if asked.

Enter Salim Lewis of Lewis Family Farmwho, as presented in your June 9 issue is con-sidering turning the farm into a “researchcenter thus making the property in 501C andtaking it off of the tax rolls.” I have to tellyou that I have never met Mr. Lewis, but itis extremely unlikely that I would give his501(C) a penny. So why should I be forced topay his county taxes? IT is time to do awaywith real property tax exemptions or realproperty taxes all together.

Real property tax exemption can lead tounfair competition. Take boys and girls sum-mer camps, for example. The Adirondackhave a bunch of them. Some are private for-profit, other are non-profit. Both server thesame clientele - children, mostly from“down state.” Both hire people locally andcollege students. Both use local jobbers(plumbers, electricians, ECT.). Both buy sup-plies and materials through local and re-gions retailers. Both require substantial landholdings preferably with high value water-front. Here is the difference.

While the private camps struggle to paythe real property taxes and stay open, the taxexempt camps are free of that burden. If theprivate camps fails, jobs are lost, both at thecamp and through the jobbers and suppliers.Ironically, the for-profit camps are forced tofund their competition by paying a share ofthe tax-exempt camps’ property taxes.

If the Lewis Family Farm becomes a 501(c)the for-profit farms will be helping to payLewis Farm’s property taxes: unfair compe-tition it seems to me. It’s time to do awaywith real property tax exemptions or realproperty taxes altogether.

Don’t leave animals aloneTo the Valley News:It’s time again to remind people to NOT leave

your pet in your vehicle, whether you’re park-ing in the shade, just running into the store, orleaving the windows cracked, it’s still NOT OKto leave your pet in a parked car! The fact is thaton an 85-degree day, the temperature inside acar with the windows cracked can reach 102- de-grees within only 10 minutes. After 30 minutes,the temperature will reach 120-degrees. Oncethe interior of the vehicle reaches 110-degrees,your pet is in danger of heatstroke, and your petcan suffer brain and organ damage after just15minutes. On hot and humid days, the tem-perature in a car parked in direct sunlight canrise more 30-degrees per/minute, and quicklybecome lethal to the animal!

Though the temperatures have been moder-ately warm, in the last 2 months I’ve alreadyseen pets left in vehicles with 2of4 windowscracked a maximum of 4-inches with the sunbeating down. Would you subject your child tothis type of condition?

NYS Law 353-d states that: “A person shallnot confine a companion animal in a motor ve-hicle during extreme hot or cold temperatureswithout proper ventilation or other protectionfrom the temperate. If the owner cannot bepromptly located, the law authorizes police of-ficers to take necessary steps to remove the an-imal(s) from the vehicle.”

Why would any responsible pet owner leavetheir animal in a car while they go shopping?You never know how long you’ll be, and you’repet is the one left to suffer the extreme heat inyour vehicle, with the sun beating through thewindows. Please be a responsible pet owner,and please leave your pet(s) at home.

If you see an animal in distress in a vehicle,please call 911.

Auxiliary, I would like to take this opportunityto thank everyone who attended or helped inany way to make our recent car show a hugesuccess. This was the fifth-annual car show thatwe have held on the first Saturday in May andit was by far the biggest. Each year it has grownbigger and bigger. This year we saw close to 70cars and trucks, all years, all makes and mod-els. It is run differently than most other showswith no entrance fees charged and no awardsgiven, just an early chance for owners to get outtheir cars and show them off. With raffles heldthroughout the day and food and refreshmentsavailable everyone worked very had to make ita success and a wonderful time was had by all.

A special thank you to Advanced Auto,Tony’s Sports, Dollar General, Hot Biscuit Din-er, Wagon Wheel Restaurant, Paradox Store,Aubuchons, North Country Towing, J&L Auto-motive, Pottersville Garage, Family Deli in Pot-tersville, Great Northern, Arsenal Restaurant,Elizabethtown Sunoco, Egglefield Ford, Eliza-bethtown Grand Union, NAPA, Curtis Lumberin Schroon Lake and Stewarts for their dona-tions.

And an extra special thank you to ChandlerThompson, Ron Moore, John King, Ginnie Ian-nacone, Lyanne Anslow, Kathleen Gallagher,Samantha Bessey and all of the ladies on theauxiliary. Without their extra time and help thisevent would not have been as successful as itturned out to be.

In closing, I just want to say thank you to allof our volunteers in our community and acrossthe world. Sometimes it is difficult to be able tovolunteer your time and/or your knowledgeand you don’t always feel like others realize justhow trying it can be at times, but know that youare appreciated because without people willingto help others, getting nothing in return, whatkind of work would we live in?

DissolutionContinued from page 1which both Morrow andSenecal responded that wasnot the meaning of the num-bers.

“We have people alreadydoing these things and theextra work that it takes peo-ple to do those things willnot cost us anything,” Mor-row said.

“We have enough peopleto handle these things,”Senecal added. “What isover and above dog licens-ing, building permits, as-sessing and judicial? What isabove that we are alreadydoing? The clerk alreadyhandles records manage-ment. We are already doingeverything that these servic-es provide.”

King persisted, askingRondout Consulting’s TimWeidmann if the areas wherethe supervisors had zeroedout expenses were usuallydone in other studies.

“They usually do not havezeros, but not for the reasonthat you think,” Weidmannresponded. “They do not

usually have zeroes becausewe do not usually have thesupervisors in the room.This is something you do notwant to be wrong about inthe wrong way.”

“I feel that these numbersare truthful,” Morrowadded.

Committee membersButch Clodgo, Maury Bres-sette and Linda Guimondagreed with the supervisors.

“Why is it so importantthat we have to add thesecosts to the towns,” Clodgosaid. “We are only doing thisfor perception, and that isnot the way to do it. I do notsee where we need to addnumbers in there to makepeople feel better.”

“What the supervisors aresaying is not impossible,”Bressette said.

“It’s not for me to come inhere and say that these num-bers are not accurate whenyou guys know what yourwork load is,” Guimondsaid. “You're not looking tobe a hero. I think that weshould respect the two su-pervisors sitting here.”

“I don’t see this as not re-specting the supervisors,”King insisted. “I think that itis about substantiability. Idon't think that adding 800people and not have someincreases along the line ofsome kind.”

“I am not inheriting the800 people; we have alreadyhad the 800 that are part ofthe village in our town,”Morrow said. “I alreadyhave those people in mytown and take care of themvery well.”

Senecal agreed.Weidmann said that there

were other ways to deal witha perception problem.

“There may be a percep-tion problem, but there arecreative ways around thatwhich differ from the num-bers solutions,” he said.“Maybe you have a transi-tion position that is in placefor one year.”

Commission v. districtKing also expressed con-

cern that the dissolutionprocess needed to include awater and sewer commis-

sion, instead of relying onthe two towns to create spe-cial districts, the commonoption in most towns.

“The citizens are going towant to know what is goingto happen,” King said. “Ihave watched the fire com-mission work well for years.It would convince me thatthings are fair and bal-anced.”

Clodgo said that he felt itwould bring more trust intothe process.

“There is not a bunch oftrust in the politicians,”Clodgo said. “There is a lotof concern that one townwill control water and onetown will control sewer. Theway you make sure it doesnot happen is to have onecommission that controls thewhole thing.”

“You are wrong when yousay that the people do nottrust the politicians,” Mor-row said. “We created a dis-trict on Augur Lake becausethey would rather have thepoliticians in control morethan the private companies.As far as I am concerned,

everyone will have the sameprice for the water or sew-er.”

Senecal said that anythingdone with the water andsewer districts would bedone through a mutualagreement between thetowns.

“Won't there be an agree-ment between the two townsanyways?” she said. “Wehad a contract for the libraryand used to have a contractfor the police and a schedulethat states the price foreverything in there.”

Weidmann said that he be-lieves the towns would haveto charge equal rates to“both sides of the river.”

“From my research, itwould be very hard tocharge the residents of onetown and another town dif-ferent rates,” he said.“Hopefully, we can get an of-

ficial answer from the stateand that will ease some ofthose concerns.”

Holderman said that hewanted the matter decidedas part of a dissolution plan.

“The village board can saythat they want that spelledout before they accept anyplan,” he said. “I think thatall of the opinions need to beout on the table.”

Bank employee celebrates retirement after 42 yearsBy Keith [email protected]

Au SABLE FORKS — In the past 42 years,two things have been constant in Au Sable Forks— where the bank is and who is behind thecounter.

While the bank has changed ownership sixtimes over those years (National Commercialand Trust, KeyBank, Albank, Charter One, Cit-izens Bank and now Community Bank), JessieStrong has been there.

“Most of the transitions went really OK,”Strong said. “Sometimes I would balk at the ideaof change, but I made it through them all.”

Strong was recognized for her 42 years ofservice to the Au Sable Forks community in aweek of celebrations at Community Bank,which coincided with her last week on the job,June 25 through June 29.

“Everybody knows Jessie,” branch managerValerie Daniels said. “It’s a familiar face thatpeople have seen for the past 42 years. Youspend 42 years at any job and it is pretty amaz-ing, but to be able to stay at the same place de-spite the changes is really impressive.”

Along with name and leadership changes,Strong said that she was impressed by the tech-

nology changes over the years.“I started with a proof machine and a calcu-

lator,” she said. “There has been a lot ofchanges.”

Strong said that she was looking forward tono alarms in the morning.

“When I get up, when I go to do something,it will be my choice,” she said. “I plan on watch-ing a lot of my grandchildren’s basketballgames and spending a lot more time with them.The whole summer is going to be relaxation.”

Jessie Strong, center, along with co-workers Darlene LaMountain, branch manager Valerie Daniels, KentBackus and Helen Kennedy.

Keene family welcomes Fresh Airfriend for another summer


KEENE — Every year, the Fresh Air Fundarranges for thousands of children to expe-rience life outside a city and over this sum-mer, the Craig family of Keene greeted an ex-tended member of thier family.

They will be hosting Trevon of the Bronxfor the fourth time through The Fresh AirFund’s Volunteer Host Family Program.

Trevon is scheduled to return in July foran eight week visit - his longest trip yet.Trevon has visited the many places in theAdirondacks and hopes his upcoming tripwill lead to more eye opening experiences.

During his summer visits, Trevon has be-come an accomplished swimmer, skilledbike rider and even a member of the exclu-sive “Adirondack 46ers,” club according tohis host mom, Julie Craig. Craig said thiervisits have not been exclusive the summer.Over the past spring break, Trevon joinedthe Craig family on a recent family trip toDisney World.

Through the Fresh Air fund, Trevon hasgotten to experience a plethora of outdooractivities unaccomplishable in the limits ofcity life.

Jenny Morgenthau, the director of theFresh Air Fund, said that more than 60 per-cent of families who host a child continue toinvite the child back for many more sum-mers.

“I’m not sure the magic behind it, but thematches seem to work out great,” Morgen-thau said.

The Fresh Air Fund, a not-for-profitagency, has worked together with familiesand communities to provide free summerexperiences in the country to more than 1.7million New York City children since 1877.Each year, thousands of children visit volun-teer host families in 13 states and Canadathrough the Friendly Town Program or at-tend one of five Fresh Air Fund camps.

To prospective hosts, Craig said shewouldn’t trade the experience she has hadwith Trevon.

“Do it, and don’t have any reservations,”she said. “It’s really immeasurable what willcome out of it. Trevon is like a member of ourfamily. I hope to know him forever.”

For more information on how to becomeinvolved the organization or to volunteer asa host family for a Fresh Air Child call De-olinda Jessie at 359-3414 or visit The FreshAir Fund online at www.freshair.org.

WESTPORT — In an evening of rhythm,allegory, life, alliteration, heartbreak, joy,disappointments, and wisdom students andveteran poets shared their pieces for the fifthannual Poetry Extravaganza.

Westport Central school poetry studentsfrom Scott Gibbs class and members of theWestport Poetry Group gathered at theWestport Library on June 14 to showcasetheir work at the closing of the school year.

“It’s an opportunity for people in the townand the school to get together in a positiveway,” Judith Moore, member of the poetrygroup said.

Eleven students participated in the read-ing: sophomores Hannah Looby, Dustin andOwen Schoenfeld, Macey Sprague, JohnDoyle, junior Charlotte Staats, and seniorsAlexa Mitchell, Delaney Sears, Ethan Mark-wica, and Ellexus Vaughn.

The students wrote about their experi-ences

Gibbs, who has been teaching poetry forover 20 years was honored by the studentsfor his upcoming retirement with a songabout creating poetry written. The song waswritten by poet Ann Gleck and performed byGleck and the students.

“He Helped you open the doors to yourcloset, take the memories of off your shelf,place them on the floor around you to betterlook at yourself,” the group sang.

The students wrote pieces that reflectedtheir personality such as Sprague’s poem ti-tled “Shyness,” where she described theemotion with visual characteristics: “Shy-ness is pretty in her own way,” Sprague read.“Pale Colors like a rainbow fading back intothe sky.”

Other pieces grabbed the attention withthe first line such as Spears’ poem titled“Overlooking is part of our society.” As shefinished the piece’s title her first line wenton as “I wouldn’t be surprised if you over-

looked this poem, I wouldn’t be surprised ifyou didn’t, because this poem is a distrac-tion to your guilt.” Some audience memberslaughed but most were instantly engaged.

As Vaughn read her poem titled “A per-fect world” she read ”What if we lived in aworld where apologizing wasn’t such a has-sle, doing a favor didn’t make you thinktwice and racism didn’t exist.” As audiencemembers listened silently they heard herversion of what this world could look likethrough her eyes.

Scott Gibbs, who teaches high school Eng-lish said the event has always been a way totake what the students write in class andbring it into the world.

“These events are a way of trying to bringthe poetry to life and try to have some funwith it,” Gibbs said.

The poetry reading is a wonderful way forthe community to become aware of “how re-ally wonderful their work is,” Gibbs said.

The Westport Poetry Group meets on thethird Thursday of each month, for more in-formation or to participate contact the West-port Library at 962-8219.

Goodbyes to Park Special recognition was given to Soyoung

Park, an exchange student from Laos whohas attended WCSD for the past year.

“Soyoung, who epitomizes grace andserenity and has taken whatever we throwat her and has done it with grace,” Gibbssaid.

Park said that she will be on her way toLos Angeles before heading back to Laos. Af-ter coming from living in a big city she saidshe has really enjoyed the small town ofWestport.

“I’ve really liked the small town betterand I’m going to miss everyone and hope-fully visit soon,” Park said.

Mary Ann Hebrink, Park’s family momsaid she will cry when they brink Park to theairport.

Westport students bring thierpoetry to life at special reading

Three decades of hard work and as-tonishing success came crashing toa halt recently when the state

pulled its funding for the Arts Council forthe Northern Adirondacks, which wasstarted and run out of Westport by the in-defatigable Caroline Thompson. Thoughits office was in Westport, this is a regionalorganization that rapidly became a beaconof hope for North Country artists, and forthe art-hungry public.

And, gosh, do you think those few statedollars brought any return to the regionaleconomy? Each year the famous ArtsCouncil directory has been the most visi-ble, rock-solid, go-to resource for touristsand other visitors curious about the excit-ing cultural events on offer throughout theregion, from Lake Placid to Ticonderogaand beyond. And that was just the start ofwhat the Arts Council provides.

Yet Caroline hasn't given up. The ArtsCouncil will still be bringing us spectacu-lar Thursday night concerts in Ballard Parkeach week this summer, starting with theJamcrackers and 11-year-old Irish step-dancing prodigy Griffin Wilkins on July

12. The Jamcrackers are Dan Berggren,Peggy Lynn and Dan Duggan, solo artistswho've formed a trio weaving humor, his-tory, and music together. Griffin, who alsohappens to be Caroline's grandson, willjust be returning from the National IrishStepdance competition in Chicago.

This concert is sponsored by the West-port Marina, where you can enjoy a deli-cious lakeside dinner at the Galley before-hand. Your donations will be gratefully re-ceived. I'll tell you about the upcomingBallard Park concerts each week as we go.

And don't forget the Westort Library As-sociation's annual Book Sale this weekend,July 6-8, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. At the FirstView Party at 6 p.m. on July 5, you can sipchampagne and sparkling cider while get-ting in on some of the antiquarian book ac-tion, including several rare local and re-gional histories. On July 7 the Book Salewill stay open until 7 p.m. to dovetail withthe town’s Independence Day parade andfireworks, which I told you about in detaila couple of weeks ago.

Congratulations to Jim Herrman, thisweek's winner of the Heritage House Raf-fle $50 weekly prize.

Because of the early deadline forthis week’s column, Ginny and Iwent out to gather news items

from downtown Essex on Friday afternoon,rather than Sunday morning. Main Streetwas jammed with visitors. We observedexotic cars and stylish urbanites paradingabout wearing a city person’s idea of coun-try attire. We even spotted a gentlemanwearing a cravat and carrying a man-purse. Ginny was not impressed but wait-ed patiently stretched out on the sidewalkwhile I tried not to gawk. Perhaps I shouldget out of Reber more often.

All was not lost, however, as we ran intoEmily Phillips at her art restoration studionext to the post office. Emily grew up inEssex and has a business repairing andrestoring aged and damaged art works.We got a quick tour and she showed us apainting of a regal looking old patriarchshe’s working on. It had been rolled upand unceremoniously stuffed into a corner,to be discovered many years later, badlyfolded and discolored from old varnish.Emily, who’s a trained professional, hadsmoothed out the canvas and was cleaningoff the varnish. The next step is to sew fab-

ric around the edges, restretch the paintingand mount it on a wooden frame. Emily isa woman of many talents, having just comein from helping her brother bale hay on thefamily farm.

The film society is showing “The Artist”this Saturday night at the WhallonsburgGrange. This is a black and white film thatpretty much swept the Oscars last winter,earning critical praise such as “brilliant”and “perfection” and “most entertaining.”It starts at 8.

Here in Reber deer flies are more numer-ous than usual, making walking in thewoods rather unpleasant. They and theirless common relatives the horse fly don’tactually bite you with a toothy chomp, butuse their knife-like mouth parts to sliceinto your skin. It’s the females who are thepests, and they’re looking for blood, or theproteins in blood, so they can form eggsand reproduce. Deer flies cut an X whilehorse flies slash randomly. Mosquitoes usea sharp needle to get your blood, whileblack flies, with their relatively crudemouths, kind of chew until blood is drawn.All of them give you a dose of anticoagu-lant to reduce their time on your skin andthe chance they’ll get swatted.

W e have a great communityand many people give vol-unteer hours to make our

community look good and give time tokeep places open. It is very upsettingwhen after these efforts, just for a larkthere was some senseless destruction.The Beatification volunteers had placedsix hanging flower pots at the localBand Stand area, only to find that threeof them have been removed with notrace of where they went to; in the samearea several limbs were snapped offfrom the flowering trees along that samearea. If anyone in passing noticesgroups hanging around, take notice andif necessary report that activity.

This past weekend was very busy withthe town wide yard sales, there was alarge number of opportunities for thoselooking for a bargain. Another great

happing this past week was the Ecu-menical Vacation Bible School wherethey reached many children and had alot of support staff. The Farmers Mar-ket was also here and had several morevenders this week. Six of my highschool classmates came together for areunion (class of 1951) and shared ameal together at the Sportsman's Diner.Hope everyone had a great Fourth ofJuly time with family and friend andjoined in the local celebrations. Re-minder The Play "Godspell" productionstarts this week at Essex Theater.

not make it up the hill , arrangementsare also available at Mac’s grocery.
