PAUL SMITHS — When most youngpeople talk about target practice atsummer camp, They’re usually refer-ring to archery.

Not at Paul Smith’s College, wherecampers throw axes instead.

The new Adirondack Woodsmen’sSchool, hosted by Paul Smith’s College,takes typical summertime fare such ascampfires and sleeping under the starsand mixes them with a thoroughgrounding in lumberjack sports.

The camp, sponsored by outdoorpower equipment manufacturer StihlInc. and work clothing maker Carhartt,is aimed at high school and college stu-dents looking to train with some of thebest woodsmen in the business andlearn about the rugged traditions at theheart of the sport.

“This summer school takes lumber-jack sports off TV and puts the axe inyour hand,” said Brett McLeod, direc-tor of the Adirondack Woodsmen’s

School and head coach of the PaulSmith’s College woodsmen’s team. “Ifyou’re interested in the sport, you’ll gethands-on experience from your firstday, and if you’re already a collegiatecompetitor, you’ll sharpen your skillswith some of the best in the business.”

Participants can actually earn fourcollege credits in two weeks, as theylearn skills such as log rolling, speedchopping, crosscut sawing, canoebuilding and axe sharpening. They’lltrain at a student-built cabin on PaulSmith’s lakeside campus.

Paul Smith’s is a perennial contenderamong the nation’s best collegiatewoodsmen’s teams. It has fielded ateam since 1948 and holds the recordfor most consecutive victories in the an-nual Spring Meet, the biggest collegeevent in the sport.

This year, the college will host thenortheast regional competition of theStihl Timbersports Collegiate Series in

April, which will be broadcast at a lat-er date on ESPNU.

Campers will have the opportunityto learn from instructors from the PaulSmith’s woodsmen’s team and the StihlTimbersports professional ranks. In themeantime, they will experience au-thentic camp life, learning the historyof Adirondack woodsmen, orienteer-ing, and even how to skid logs using ateam of draft horses. When they’re notsleeping in residence halls, they’ll hitthe hay under the stars.

Camp will be held in two sessions.The first, from July 11-17, is aimed atbeginners and intermediates; the nextsession, from July 18-24, is for more ad-vanced lumberjacks and –jills. A singlesession costs $1,095, while two weekscost $1,995.

Ethics committee taking formAppointees chosen to revise EssexCounty hiring practices

By Matt [email protected]

ELIZABETHTOWN — Plans to create a Board of Ethics inEssex County are beginning to take shape as Board of Su-pervisors chair Randy Douglas announced his choices forcommittee appointments March 29.

Douglas, along with Vice-chair Roby Politi, chose twomembers of the public — Robert Lilly and Michael Orticelle— to sit on the newly formed committee along with countyAttorney Dan Manning and county Personnel DepartmentManager Monica Feeley.

Together, the four will be given the task of revising theCounty’s Code of Ethics and its Policy Manual, which setsstandards for hiring, promoting, disciplining, and firingcounty personnel.

Douglas said his goal for the committee was to “make whatwe have on file now a little better so the public can rest as-sured that we’re doing the right things in terms of trans-parency in government.”

Lilly, a Newcomb resident, served as head of the county’sInformation Systems department from 1998 until his retire-ment in 2003. He has also served on an advisory committeefor the county occupancy tax and several other municipal andnonprofit boards in the region.

Lilly said he was honored to be approached by Douglasand Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava at an New York As-sociation of Towns meeting in February. While he has plentyof experience with meetings and government, he said thiswill be the furthest he’s delved into ethical policy.

“I spent 28 years in the air force,” Lilly said, “and we hadethical rules and regulations there as well.”

Orticelle, a Saranac Lake resident, is a Criminal Justice pro-fessor at North Country Community College, and has servedas a member of the North Elba-Lake Placid Joint ReviewBoard.

“I think transparency and accountability are very impor-tant to public service,” said Orticelle, which is why, when heheard of an Ethics committee being formed, he volunteeredto take part.

Orticelle holds a Master ’s degree in Public Administration,is a licensed realtor, and is a retired police officer with 41years of experience.

“Between studying it and living it, I feel I can contributevery strongly to any discussion [about ethics],” he said.

Douglas told the Essex County Ways and Means commit-tee that Lilly and Orticelle were chosen with political neu-trality in mind.

“Aside from Dan [Manning], I don’t know the political af-filiation of any of them,” he said.

Manning, who is likely to chair the committee, said he haspulled examples of Codes of Ethics from various municipal-ities throughout New York State, which the committee shouldbe able to use as a template.

Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey recommend-ed using a code recently developed by New York State Comp-troller Thomas DiNapoli. Douglas confirmed that would beone of many from which the committee draws ideas.

The committee will likely begin meeting later this month,Douglas said, after Manning returns from an out-of-townconference. At that point, it will be up to committee membersto decide whether to hold their meetings in a public forum.

“I have no problem with it being open to the public,” saidDouglas. “Once they finalize their determinations, we’ll def-initely make those public.”


TUPPER LAKE — A newly formed group ofyoung Adirondack enthusiasts are hoping tobring together a new generation of supporters forthe educational and environmental work of TheWild Center.

Wings, a group of 21-to-45-year-olds livingboth in and outside the Adirondacks, are planninga series of gatherings where they can network,

raise funds for programs at The Wild Center, andraise awareness of the area’s natural history.

Ed Forbes and David Bickford, co-chairs of thesteering committee for Wings, were among ahandful of philanthropic young professionalswho assembled last fall to discuss ways theymight support the museum’s educational mis-sion.

“I just love The Wild Center and was lookingfor a way to contribute,” said Bickford, who livesand works in New York City. His family, going

back five generations, have been visiting UpperSaranac Lake since the 1940s.

The group decided to model their initiative af-ter the Junior Council, a network of 20- and 30-somethings who organize black-tie events to raisefunds for the American Museum of Natural His-tory in New York City.

The idea caught on with many Tri-Lakes arearesidents as well, and the steering committee soongrew to a total of nine. Staff at The Wild Center

Inquiring minds want to knowIn the wake of billion dollar Washington bailouts and the recently passed vote on Health Care, we thought we’d ask our readers this simple question: How can we fi x the economy?

Here is what one taxpayer suggested in the St. Petersburg, Florida Times:

Dear Mr. President:Please fi nd below my suggestion for fi xing America’s

economy.Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that

will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the “Patri-otic Retirement Plan”:

There are about 40 million people over 55 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retire-ment with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unem-ployment fi xed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fi xed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mort-gage - Housing Crisis fi xed.

It can’t get any easier than that!!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Con-gress pay their taxes...

Mr. President, while you’re at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I’ll bet both programs would be fi xed pronto!

As Director of Sales andMarketing, Ridenour willlead the meetings and con-vention sales efforts for LakePlacid and the new Confer-ence Center at Lake Placid,which is slated to open inearly 2011. She brings over20 years of sales and mar-keting experience to the po-sition, including the opera-tion of her own marketingand communications com-pany, and posts in the cor-porate environment that in-clude Thomas Cook Traveland Raymond James Finan-cial services. Most recently,she was responsible for mar-keting and operations at abusiness within LakePlacid’s vacation rental in-dustry.

“This is an exciting time.As an integral part of theConference Center salesstrategy, we have been antic-ipating the addition of salesand service staff for years,”said James McKenna, presi-dent of the Regional Office

of Sustainable Tourism.“The conference center willserve a key role in achievingour long-term goal of a year-round economy, and thisrepresents the next step in aprocess that will drive busi-ness during our typical off-seasons, and ultimately in-crease jobs and benefits forour residents,” said McKen-na.

“An important andunique aspect of this projectis that it has been complete-ly funded through EmpireState Development, so therewill be no resulting debtload to the community,” saidTed Blazer, New YorkOlympic Regional Develop-ment Authority Presidentand CEO. “We are poised tohit the ground running.”

The sales strategy, includ-ing booking space and mar-keting for the conferencecenter will be conducted co-operatively by the RegionalOffice of SustainableTourism and ORDA, and in-terim promotional materialsfor use in ongoing sales ef-forts, including a sales videoand a new website, have al-ready been developed.

“Projects within the salesand marketing strategy are

already being implement-ed,” said Arlene Day, direc-tor of sales and service.“Space is typically bookedmore than a year in advancefor conferences, and we’vealready sold space for 2011.”

The new Conference Cen-ter at Lake Placid will be lo-cated adjacent to theOlympic Center, and will in-corporate the Lake PlacidVisitor Information Center.Conveniently located in thecenter of town and only ashort walk from most hotels,the Olympic Center Com-plex with the added Confer-ence Center space will offerover 89,000 square feet ofmeeting and exhibitionspace, a ballroom and a fullservice production kitchen.

Construction techniquesadhere to the criteria setforth by LEED and incorpo-rate optimized energy per-formance, renewable, recy-cled materials and daylight-ing. Operating with ongoingenvironmentally soundpractices, the center antici-pates gold LEED certifica-tion upon completion.

“I’m looking forward toproactively promoting thistremendous new facility andthe high quality hosting ca-

pabilities of the communi-ty’s lodging properties col-lectively,” said Ridenour.“The new conference centeris a state-of-the-art productthat will allow us to aggres-sively target new marketsand gain exposure for theunique meetings and con-ventions experience LakePlacid offers.”

Ridenour lives in LakePlacid with her husband andtwo children.

agreed to help formally establish the organization and giveit a name.

“‘Wings’ seemed to make sense because of the wildlife inthe area and the fact that we’re an extension of the muse-um,” Bickford said.

Forbes, a former editor of the Lake Placid News, now livesin Bronxville, N.Y. with his wife, Emily. Though he grew upin New Jersey and she in Buffalo, Forbes said they both con-sider the Adirondacks their home.

“Wings, to us, offers a range of opportunities,” saidForbes. “We can connect inside the Blue Line and out withother expatriates who share our love for the region, we canlearn more about the Adirondacks’ natural wonders and wecan support the critical mission of The Wild Center.”

New members can join wings for as little as $75 and gainaccess to the many events the organization has planned for2010. The events, which take place at both The Wild Center

and sites in New York City, include an open bar cocktail par-ty and presentations highlighting exhibits at The Wild Cen-ter.

“The idea is to bring the museum to us because we don’thave the accessibility that people in the area do,” said Bick-ford.

Membership in Wings also offers many of the same bene-fits as museum membership, such as unlimited free accessto The Wild Center and a subscription to its newsletter.

Bickford said the group has discussed other possibilitiesfor fundraisers, such as a 5K run or group expeditions to thesummits of the Adirondacks’ 46 high peaks.

“Wings is a way of actively engaging the younger popu-lation, both inside and outside of the Adirondacks, in the fu-ture of the region,” said Stephanie Ratcliffe, Executive Di-rector of The Wild Center. “Creating future stewards of theAdirondacks is integral to the survival of the area.”

ELIZABETHTOWN — Of-ficials in Essex County arehoping public sentiment ex-pressed through online peti-tions will help change theminds of state officials whowant to eliminate fundingfor two of the region’slargest employers.

Essex County ManagerDan Palmer, who also servesas head of the county’s In-formation Services depart-ment, announced March 29that the county’s web sitenow features links to two on-line petitions: one to ask for

the restoration of state fund-ing for the state-runOlympic Regional Develop-ment Authority, and oneasking for Moriah Shock In-carceration Facility to bekept open.

The state Senate passed abudget proposal earlier thismonth eliminating all of the$6.6 million in funding forORDA, which employs over200 full-time and 600 part-time employees in its opera-tion of Whiteface and Goreski resorts and the Olympicwinter sport facilities in andaround Lake Placid.

Gov. David Paterson hadproposed closing Moriah

Shock, along with three oth-er North Country prisons, inhis 2010-2011 ExecutiveBudget. The state Senatealso included its closure intheir recently passed budgetproposal.

Funding for both was in-cluded, however, in a budg-et proposal passed in thestate Assembly last week.

Board of Supervisor chairRandy Douglas, supervisorof Jay, along with Palmerand several other supervi-sors, have been arduouslylobbying for keeping MoriahShock open, and have addedthe cause of ORDA fundingto their efforts, citing the

economic impact the institu-tions have in the region.

“These are essential forthe economics of our re-gion,” said North Elba su-pervisor Roby Politi, “andthat is great leadership onthe part of our individuals.”

The petitions can be foundby visitingwww.co.essex.ny.us.

Isuspect that what I am about to share will upsetmore than a few people. That is not my intention,however, I feel compelled to pass along information

that might assist our larger community.Although there have been several decades of anti- drink-

ing and responsible drinking education and publicity ef-forts, most agree that the success of these efforts has beennominal. Alcohol is linked to over 79,000 American deathsevery year.

Indiana University scientists have completed a field ofresearch that suggests that anti-drinking ads that utilizeguilt or shame themes can have an unintended effect; theycan cause people to drink more alcohol. Ostensibly, the re-search showed that the ads “triggered an innate copingmechanism that enabled viewers to distance themselvesfrom the serious consequences of reckless drinking behav-iors.”

The co-author of the study, Adam Duhachek, stated,“The situation is worse than just wasted money or effort.These ads do more harm than good because they have thepotential to spur more of the behavior that they are tryingto prevent.”

Duhacheks’ research focused on ads that link the conse-quences of drinking such as car accidents or black outswith guilt or shame messages. The findings are particular-ly important to American Universities where alcohol abusehas reached an unprecedented and more dangerous level.Each year, drinking among college students contributes to

an estimated 1700 studentdeaths, 600,00 injuries,700,00 assaults, and 90,000sexual assaults.

Duhachek is encouragingthe framers of public healthmessages to construct antidrinking messages that con-vey the dire consequencesalong with strong messagesof empowerment.

“If you are going to com-municate a frightening sce-nario, temper it with theidea that it is avoidable,”said Duhalek, “It’s best touse the carrot along with the stick.”

I can honestly say that I do not know what the most ef-fective message might be to warn of the dangers of abus-ing alcohol. What I do know is that we must be open tonew and innovative approaches. The message must changewith the times. Can you imagine anyone taking the movie“Reefer Madness” seriously today as a warning againstmarijuana? I rest my case. Remember all kids count.

Kids Count By Scot Hurlburt

Anti-drinking ads can backfire

For tens of years, people have used wood to buildall sorts of wooden things, including houses, footbridges, International Space Stations, bird houses,

Charlie Sheen’s acting technique, and dog houses. But despite wood’s usefulness, it also has a dark side.

I’m speaking, of course, of slivers: splinters of wood thatembed themselves in the flesh, fester, and result ingrotesque deformities that ruin their victims’ chances ofstriking it big in the catalogue-modeling industry. Unfor-tunately, most slivers prove so small that the people theyembed themselves in fail to notice the little buggers untilsaid people are so grotesquely deformed that their cata-logue-modeling careers are finished.

Every so often, though, a new kind of sliver comesalong. A game-changing sliver. I’m speaking, of course, ofgiant slivers – slivers so large that they aren’t so much“slivers” as they are “stakes.” While such chunks of lum-ber might come in handy if, say, you want to kill a grating,cereal-hawking vampire like Count Chocula, they proveuseless in most other circumstances. To illustrate, I’ll sharean unsettling yet amusing anecdote.

It was fall of my sophomore year of high school, and myfriends and I were feeling pretty good about ourselves.Yes, sir, we thought we were regular “cool cats.” We con-sidered ourselves so hip, in fact, that we viewed eatinglunch in the cafeteria as beneath us. Why eat in the cafete-ria, with its “walls” and “adult supervision,” when wecould enjoy our chicken nuggets, soggy PB-and-J sand-wiches, and tapioca pudding in the freedom of the out-doors? There were plenty of picnic tables and benches infront of the school, after all.

And so, weather permitting, we ate outside. It all wentwell until the day I sat on a bench I’d never sat on before.Indeed, based on its decrepit appearance, I doubt anyonehad sat on this bench in a decade or two. It leaned dramat-ically to one side, its backrest was shy a couple of slats,and – worst of all – its seat bristled with shards of wood.

So why did I sit on it? Because I was incredibly cool and,as I saw it, incredibly cool people were invincible. Had Ibeen in my right mind, I would have realized that thebench seemed almost designed (perhaps by a diabolicalcafeteria enthusiast who resented my disdain for cafete-rias) to drive a massive splinter through my jeans anddeep into the meat of my thigh.

And that’s exactly it did. At first, I didn’t realize the

grievous nature of my in-jury. Because I only felt aslight pinch when I satdown, I continued to talkand laugh with my pals.Even after I figured out thatI’d fallen victim to a game-changing sliver, I refused toacknowledge the situation’s severity. I hoped that, giventime, my body would absorb the splinter and I’d gain suchsuperpowers as the ability to sense the presence of lumber-jacks from several miles away and use two-by-fours toswing between skyscrapers.

Unfortunately, I had gym right after lunch, which meantI’d have to exert at least a token amount of physical effortif I wanted to avoid a stern talking-to – and while my legmight not have hurt much when I was sitting on a bench, Ifeared all that might change when I was doing jumpingjacks and squat thrusts. The last thing I wanted was to col-lapse in front of my peers – a merciless and petty lot –clutching my leg and mewling about how I had a “realbad” sliver.

So I bit the bullet and limped to the nurse’s office, whereI clutched my leg and mewled about how I had a “realbad” sliver until the nurse, Mrs. Hogan, agreed to look atit. After a quick glance, she called my mom to come getme.

“He has a sliver,” Mrs. Hogan said into the phone. “Areal bad sliver.” She paused, frowning. “Yes,” she said,“I’m serious. It’s real bad.”

When my mom stopped laughing – I was sitting acrossthe room from Mrs. Hogan, but I could clearly hear mymom’s laughter rolling out of the phone in great crashingwaves – she agreed to pick me up and bring me to theemergency room.

Long story short, the amused ER doctor shot my leg fullof Novocain, dug the wooden shard out of me with ascalpel and a pair of tweezers, and sent me on my way. Af-ter a few weeks, the physical wound had healed entirely.The psychological wound, however – the certainty that Iwas as far from being a “cool cat” as a splinter was frombeing a legitimate injury – remains open to this day.

Observer By Dan Leonidas

Shallow The

Splintered Dreams

The air has been pleasantly and un-seasonably warm for a good part ofMarch. And, if you are like me, all

this beautiful weather has given you springfever. Right now, I want nothing more thanto be out in my garden planting my vegeta-bles, flowers and herbs. But, I know I haveto be cautious. Even though the days are get-ting warmer, we are still quite a ways offfrom our average last frost date.

The average last spring frost date is theday, or range of days, in which the last frosttypically occurs. If you live closer to the lakethat date can range between April 30 andMay 20. But, if you live in the Adirondacks,the date ranges from May 20 until the beginning of June! So,despite our urge to get out there and plant, we need to makesure what we plant is not susceptible to frost.

Luckily for us, there are many garden flowers that preferthe cool days of spring. Two of the most popular cool seasonannuals are the pansy and viola. These beauties do best dur-

ing the cool spring and fall weather. Dead-heading the flowers will keep the bloomscoming for weeks. And, now there are sever-al varieties that tolerate a light freeze.

While we all love our summer tomatoes,now is not the time to plant them. They arenot tolerant of frost and prefer warmer soiltemperatures. There are many cool seasonvegetables that do allow us to harvest cropsfrom spring through the fall. Most of the veg-etables that you can get into the ground with-in the next few weeks are leafy vegetables orroot crops. If you are thinking about plantingsoon, think about radishes, carrots, onions,beets, spinach, lettuce, Swiss chard, and bok

choy. And, of course don’t forget about peas. Spring is theperfect time to get your peas into the ground!

The cool days of spring are upon us

Parental alienation is abuseTo the editor,I would like to bring attention to a set of behaviors that

some parents exercise in an effort to hurt the other parent.These behaviors are now known as Parental Alienation.When one parent (usually the custodial one) deliberatelymakes an effort to sabotage the relationship between theother parent and their child, they are, in essence, commit-ting emotional abuse of the child. Every child deserves tolove and be loved by both parents regardless of the con-flicts between the parents.

I know of several families that this has happened to, andregardless of their efforts to report and stop this abuse,there seem to be very few avenues. It seems that many ofour smaller court systems don’t even acknowledge this be-havior as abusive to the child.

How can behaviors that destroy a once loving, trustingrelationship be termed anything other than abusive? Bydestroying that relationship, the child is taught that every-thing he/she once believed is false. This has the potentialto destroy the child’s own self esteem and can cause seri-ous and sometimes irreparable damage to the child.

We need to encourage our lawyers, judges, lawguardians, CPS employees, friends and family members toeducate themselves regarding this behavior so that theyrecognize it and can be better able to intercede when nec-essary. This form of abuse is devastating to not only thechild but the entire family of the alienated parent.

I would like to invite anyone with a similar experienceto email me with your story at [email protected]

I also want to encourage parents that are dealing withthis behavior to never give up on your child. They are theinnocent victims.

Knowledge is the key to stopping this form of emotionalabuse against our children.

In a past column, Itouched on one of themost interesting tips

for saving at the grocerystore: you can save evenmore money by shoppingcertain days of the week!Sound surprising? It’s true.The day of the week weshop can make a big differ-ence in how much moneywe can save.

Many supermarkets,especially large chains, rundual sets of sales each week.A typical week-long cyclemay begin on Thursday andrun for seven days. Then,when Sunday comesaround, a second sales flyerhits the newspapers. Thissupplemental set of salestypically runs for four days,Sunday throughWednesday.

If your store runs dualsales cycles, the best days toshop are the days both setsof flyers overlap — typical-ly, Sunday throughWednesday. These are bettershopping days because twodifferent sets of sales run inthe store simultaneously.

Sometimes those twosales actually overlap, offer-ing different types of pro-motions on the same prod-ucts. If this happens, simplyshopping the days the twosales overlap lets us enjoybigger benefits.

Here’s an example:During a recent sale, abrand of crackers was onsale for $2.19, Buy One, GetOne Free in the weekly, 7-day flyer. On Sunday, thestore’s second 4-day salesflyer came out, and thesame brand of crackers wason sale “Buy Two, Get Two

Free.” During the sameweek, both of these salesoverlapped for four days.

My shopping radaralways goes up when I seesomething like this, becauseI know this sale’s going tobe fun! When an item isBOGO on one sales cycleand simultaneously BuyTwo, Get Two Free on thesecond sales cycle, howmany are we buying, andhow many are we actuallypaying for?

In this case, we’ll buy one... and get three more free.

Let me explain. Anytimeyou’re dealing with BOGOsales, it’s important toremember the free item stillcounts as a “purchase.” Andthat purchase qualifies assomething you’ve “bought”toward the second sale.

So, let’s break this down.I buy one package of crack-ers, and I get the secondpackage free. The BOGOsale is done. But the secondsale on the same brand ofcrackers is Buy Two, GetTwo Free. The first twopackages that are scannedqualify as “buying” two(even though the secondpackage is technically free)and the next two packages

of crackers will also ring upfree as part of the secondsale. If it seems a little con-fusing, don’t worry — theregister automatically han-dles both sales automatical-ly.

After everything wasscanned, I paid $2.19 for allfour packages of crackers.And I didn’t even use a sin-gle coupon! I simplyshopped on a day wheretwo sales on the same prod-uct overlapped.

When stores run dualsales flyers, they’re also try-ing to drive more traffic tothe store on days when thestore isn’t as busy, whichare typically earlier in theweek. And, that secondsales flyer usually has moredeeply discounted itemsand prices than the week-long flyer. In addition toenjoying two sets of sales,shopping the lesser-traf-ficked days does give usother advantages: shortercheckout lines! On the rareinstances I go to the storelater in the week, I’malways amazed at howmuch more crowded thestore is if I shop on a Fridayor a Saturday versus aMonday or a Tuesday.

Want one final tip?Because of the higher trafficthe store enjoys at the endof the week, items likemeats and produce will bereduced to clear once thosebusier shopping days pass.These items are still of finequality, but the store isgoing to have new stock toplace out as the end of theweek approaches again, sothey will reduce the previ-ous week’s stock to makeroom for what’s coming in. I

never tire of going to thestore and seeing the samehamburger patties that were$4/pound reduced to$2/pound as soon as theweekend has passed!
