School board vacancyneeds to be filled

By Matt [email protected]

WESTPORT — Voters in the WestportCentral School district will have two ma-jor issues on a special ballot Dec. 22.

The board of education will be lookingto fill a vacant seat due to the resignationof one of its members. The more contro-versial topic, however, may be a $500,000capital project the board has decided toput in front of voters.

The primary goal of the project is to in-stall a 200 kW outdoor generator at theschool that would power the entire build-ing in the event of a power outage.

“A number of people in the communityindicated the school should be able to beequipped as an emergency shelter,” saidWestport Superintendent John Gallagher.“The schools are the center of the commu-nity, so if they can be equipped as

ELIZABETHTOWN — The count of absentee ballots has upheldKristy Sprague’s victory in the race for Essex County District At-torney.

Sprague finished with a 125-vote lead over incumbent JulieGarcia after Essex County Board of Elections officials completedtheir count of more than 850 absentee ballots Nov. 16.

With more than 12,000 votes counted on election night,Sprague, who ran on the Republican and Independent lines, heldjust a 75-vote lead over Garcia, who ran as a Democrat.

Tabulation of absentee ballots began Nov. 12 under the closescrutiny of County Attorney Daniel Manning and lawyers repre-senting both Garcia and Sprague. Both candidates picked up hun-dreds more votes, but as Sprague’s lead slowly grew, Garcia ul-timately admitted defeat.

“Kristy has won the race, and I congratulate her and wish hersuccess,” said Garcia. “I wish her well in her new position.”

Sprague said she was very pleased with the results and howthe absentee votes followed the typical trend of mirroring resultson election day.

Both candidates expressed satisfaction with the countingprocess.

“It went pretty smoothly,” said Sprague, “I thought once the

attorneys were involved, things would be pretty contentious, buteveryone was very congenial. I think it was a good process.”

“It was an extremely close race, and I’m satisfied with the re-sults,” said Garcia.

Sprague will take office Jan. 1. Until then, she’s hoping to putthe elections behind her and prepare for the next four years asDistrict Attorney.

Keeseville grocerystore shuts down


KEESEVILLE — Yet another local grocery storehas gone out of business.

Bourgeois’ IGA in Keeseville closed its doorslast week. Bruce Bourgeois and his family have op-erated the store for over two and a half years.

“I think it’s just the economy,” said Bourgeois.“We look back on our sales a little over a year ago,and we were doing very well.”

The store’s sales have steadily declined over thepast year, however, and so has the amount of mer-chandise on its shelves.

“In the grocery business it’s all about turn-around,” Bourgeois explained. “When you haveless sales, you have less money to buy new items.”

The result, he said, was a downward spiral thatmade it more and more difficult for the store to re-cover. Just before closing, the store was selling up-wards of $30,000 less per month than the year be-fore.

Bourgeois sub-leased the store, which actuallybelongs to an out-of-state owner. He said the leasewas very high.

At its peak, the store employed 55 people bothfull- and part-time. Just before closing, about 15people were employed there.

“We were very good at customer service,” Bour-geois said. “People usually talked about how itwas a friendly store.”

Still, Bourgeois stressed that it hasn’t been lackof community support that’s forced him to closedown the store.

“The community has supported us immensely,”he said. “People have just been fantastic.”

“It has nothing to do with customer loyalty andeverything to do with the economy,” said Bour-geois, convinced that many of his customersturned to larger, more distant stores to save ontheir grocery bill. “I can’t blame the people for do-ing that.”

Bourgeois said it was not all that surprising topeople when they heard of the store closing, butmany of its former customers were still saddenedby the news.

“We delivered groceries to people who couldn’tget out and do their own shopping,” Bourgeoissaid, “and they’re going to miss us a lot.”

“Everyone knew he was struggling,” said vil-lage of Keeseville Mayor Meeghan Rock, who saidthe store’s closing will have a great effect on thecommunity.

“The good news is, the person that owned thelease of the building expressed great interest inopening a store there, possibly in January” shesaid, noting it’s the same company that operatesthe Tops Market in Port Henry. “So hopefully, we’llonly have to go a couple of months without one.”

As for Bourgeois, the future remains unclear.Though many community members have urgedhim to open up another business in town, he saidhe’s considering all his options.

“We’ll do something else,” he said.

“I look forward to fulfilling the promises I made to thevoters and making some positive changes in the county,”she said.

One of the most immediate changes Sprague expects tomake is in the way the office will handle its cases.

“First and foremost, I think we need to take a look at theallocation of cases to the staff,” said Sprague, noting her de-sire to be a hands-on prosecutor. “We’ll look at the staffingand what we, as a team, can do in the future.”

She’ll also be working to get up to speed on some of thecases slated to be tried in January, such as the homicide casefacing Michael Smith for his alleged fatal shooting of LeoHickey in a hunting accident last fall.

Garcia has already submitted a proposed 2010 budget forthe District Attorney’s office. The budget is still subject tochange, however, as the Essex County Board of Supervisorsworks to finalize it in the coming weeks.

“I’m sure if Kristy wants to make any changes, the boardwould be amenable to the changes she suggests,” said Gar-cia.

Garcia expressed appreciation for the support she’s re-ceived in the race and said she was proud of her campaign,despite the loss.

“I feel wholeheartedly that, although we didn’t come outon top, it was a very successful campaign on many differ-ent levels,” she said.

Her future at this point remains unclear, but Garcia saidshe is optimistic given the record of the District Attorney’soffice during her term.

“I want to thank all the people who worked so hard onthe campaign,” said Garcia, “and I want to thank the peo-ple of Essex County for giving me the privilege of servingthem over these past four years. It’s been an experiencethat’s been very rewarding.”

Still, the rewards of victory await Sprague, who also ex-pressed gratitude to those who helped her attain it.

“I want to thank all mysupporters, and especiallythe voters, for sticking withme through this long andtrying election,” saidSprague. “I couldn’t havedone it without them.”

Students from Lake Placid, Keene, and Crown Point CentralSchools listen intently as professional actor Fred Morsell por-trays famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass Nov. 17 at KeeneCentral School. The spirited presentation was given as part ofan ongoing series of programs known as “John Brown Com-ing Home,” a commemoration of John Brown’s raid on Harp-er’s Ferry 150 years ago.

Steve Broadwell, Willsboro school superintendent, and Lori Lincoln-Spooner, Willsboro supervi-sor, joined students from Willsboro Central School as they displayed their “bright” new T-shirtsas part of Adirondack Community Action’s Lights On Afterschool event; part of a nationwideevent that recognizes the importance of afterschool programs in the lives of children, families,and communities. Youth design their own T-shirts, which they get to keep.


ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County offi-cials are finding it hard to keep tax rates downas they review anticipated spending for thenext two years.

County Manager Daniel Palmer, who hasbeen compiling a tentative budget for nextyear, told the Essex County Finance Commit-tee at its Nov. 16 meeting that there may besome tough decisions ahead.

According to Palmer, the tentative countybudget for the 2009-2010 year will reduce ap-propriations by $2.9 million.

“The problem is that the revenue is $3.6 mil-lion down from the 2008-2009 budget,” he said.

The difference amounts to a five percent in-crease in the tax levy, but it’s the following yearthat is of even greater concern.

“The real problem comes in 2011,” saidPalmer, who said the levy could increase an-other 39 percent next year due to rising expen-ditures and further anticipated cuts in stateaid.

Still, both Palmer and members of the fi-nance committee agreed that more needs to bedone with the budget at hand.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, chair ofthe committee, suggested the board look formore ways to cut expenditures. He askedspecifically about raises slated for manage-ment-level employees, which total more than$236,000 for the next year.

Palmer said keeping costs down can be dif-ficult with mandated expenses like employeebenefits and health care continuing to increaseat staggering rates. Health insurance expensesincreased 15 percents from 2008-2009 andPalmer expects they will increase another 18percent next year.

“If national health insurance actually doessomething and drives down the cost of ourhealth care, that’s the best thing I can hope for,”said Palmer, expressing skepticism that itwould do more than cover those currentlyuninsured.

Palmer also noted the tentative budget willput $7.4 million of the county’s $21 millionfund balance toward next year’s spending.

“All we’re doing is using our fund balanceto buy down the levy,” he said, noting a simi-lar yet troublesome trend over the past fouryears.

North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi wasamong many who expressed concern with us-ing so much of the fund balance.

“I do personally have a problem with con-tinuing to pay down this amount of fund bal-ance every year,” he said, noting it’s allowedthe tax rate to stay unrealistically level. “We’reat $2 a thousand, and it’s been going down be-cause we’ve been buying down the levy withour fund balance every year.”

Palmer said Essex County has one of thelowest tax rates in the state, and realisticallyshould have a rate of around $3.20 per thou-sand, which would be more comparable toneighboring counties.

Newcomb Supervisor George Canonbrought up the need for a decision regarding

the Horace Nye Nursing Home, one of thecounty’s largest non-mandated expenses. Sev-eral supervisors have hinted at privatizing thefacility.

“In these economic times when a lot of ourconstituents are feeling the pain, I think that’ssomething we need to take a look at,” saidScozzafava.

Palmer recommended reducing the use offund balance as a first priority. He agreed togive committee members a detailed analysis ofareas where additional cuts could potentiallybe made.

A public hearing on the tentative budget isscheduled for Dec. 1, 7 p.m., at the supervisors’chambers in Elizabethtown. Members of thepublic who wish to speak or submit writtenstatements will be permitted to do so. Mean-while, a detailed summary of the tentativebudget is available for review at the office ofthe clerk of the board of supervisors.

Tentative budget raises concerns among supervisors

This week, the NCSPCAwould like to remind youagain of a great way NY

state employees can contribute toour shelter through SEFA, the StateEmployees Federated Appeal. SEFAis a joint venture of state employees,public employee unions, manage-ment and not-for-profit organiza-tions. Through SEFA, state employ-ees provide much needed fundingstatewide for over 4,000 healthcareand human service agencies. It is theonly authorized fundraising campa-gin among state employees. Yourgift through SEFA reduces the needfor participating organizations toconduct separate fundraising drives.

SEFA donation appeals are cur-rently being circulated through stateemployees' offices. Be sure to desig-nate the NCSPCA as one of your do-nations recipients - you will not onlyhave the good feeling that comesfrom helping our animals find lovinghomes, but you will also benefitfrom your generosity when complet-ing your taxes!

Our featured pet this week is De-vlin, one of a group of cats who was res-cued from a large cat colony. Initially shy,he has grown emotionally into an affec-tionate fellow who loves attention and willreward you with years of cuddles andpurrs. This handsome fellow also enjoys a

good round of energetic play once inawhile and he will keep you entertained.

Devlin is up-to-date on his vaccinationsand is neutered. If you are looking for agreat combination of warm fuzzies andfun, Devlin is the cat for you!

Comte Chateaubriand de Béarnaiseonce said that the more thingschange the more they stay the

same. In a 1932 edition of the Essex CountyRepublican it was reported that a movewas underway to close the Essex Station inBoquet because the Great Depression hadcaused business to fall greatly. The writer,a concerned citizen living in the Essexhamlet, suggested the closing of the Whal-lonsburg station instead. “Why not closethe RR station in the South (Whallons-burg)” he writes, “after all, it’s not in thecenter of the Town.” Actually the writerwas twice wrong since the so called EssexRR Station was in the Boquet Hamlet andthe ‘Burg is more central to the town, notEssex.

At my age, sadness often comes whensomeone of value, or interest, or personifi-cation of those times of life in which theylived dies. Albert Baldwin is an example ofsuch a person. Beyond a very few Essexfolk like Norma, Grace, Katherine, Mil-dred, Puss, Myrna and others from his gen-eration, not many in town know Albert. Al-bert reflected much of 19th and 20th centu-ry Essex living. The Baldwin farm, a rem-nant now owned by Myrna Mandeville, isthe largest and most profitable farm in thehistory of the ‘Burg. While I only knew

him through long phone conversationswhilst going over his writings, I still felt Iknew him with all his strengths, and yes,his weakness. He died last week at 94 andup to the date of his death always seemedto be longing to return. Another icon hasleft us.

See where the county is digging valleysalongside the roads again. I have troublestaying awake whilst driving after 3:30, soI like to put wheels on one side of my carinto the ditches and that way I can sleepuntil I arrive home. Try that with 6” deepditches.

I also experienced a lesson in catologylast week. Never walk up behind a cat thatis eating and clap your hands over theirhead. Boy, do they jump, giving proof tothat age old expression ”scaredy cat.” Ohyes, Kenda James explained to me the oth-er day the reason behind the old saying“don’t pop a gusset.”

For my last bit of news, granddaughterSarah Looby, living in Wadhams, will begoing to Memphis, Ten., this summer toparticipate in the “Junior Olympics” withher handy-dandy foil, a piece of weaponrypopularized by Errol Flynn and “Dread Pi-rate Roberts.” Joining her will be CharlotteStats. Good luck, girls, and impale a fewfor us.

After the recent Congressionalrace, which was won by a Demo-crat for the first time in a century

and half, much was made in the press ofthe North Country's lack of racial diversityas compared with the rest of the nation.That may be true, but that doesn't meanthat our region—and our town—didn'tplay an important role in the struggle forcivil rights.

In fact, the Republican stranglehold onthe North Country dates from the CivilWar era, when the Republican Party wascreated in order to advance the cause ofabolition. And before that, starting in the1840s, an abolitionist named Gerrit Smithled an effort to settle free black farmers onsome 120,000 acres of farmland in NorthElba. That attempt failed, but not before itbrought another abolitionist named JohnBrown to the North Country to settle onhis own farm in North Elba.

This year, in addition to being thequadricentennial of Samuel de Cham-plain's journey, also happens to the 150thanniversary of John Brown's famous raidon Harper's Ferry, Virginia (October 16,1859) and his subsequent execution (De-cember 2, 1859) upon being captured andtried by the government. After his death(but before it started a-moldering in thegrave), John Brown's body was accompa-nied by his widow and surviving sons inprocession back to North Elba, where it isburied.

In Westport and elsewhere over the nextcouple of weeks, a number of special

events will commemorate this historicjourney. What makes our little town impor-tant in this celebration is the fact that thebody was brought across the lake at Bar-ber's Point, on the horse-powered ferrythat used to run there.

That happened on December 6, 1859. Atnoon on Sunday, December 6, Westportwill host a reenactment of the funeralcortege's arrival, which will take place atthe Westport Marina. "John Brown's body"will then be brought up to the HeritageHouse, where, starting at 1 p.m., the ac-claimed novelist (and Keene Valley resi-dent) Russell Banks will read from his nov-el about John Brown, Cloudsplitter. Afterthat, historian Don Papson will give a lec-ture entitled "John Brown and the Under-ground Railroad."

The cortege will then proceed to Eliza-bethtown, where subsequent reenactmentswill take place at the Old Stone Church,the Courthouse, and the Deer's Head Inn(where the family spent the night).

These events are being organized by theAdirondack Center History Museum in E'-town. For tickets or for more information,call the museum at 873-6466 or [email protected]. Other events—films, lectures, panel discussions, andmore—will take place around the region.I've only told you about the ones here, inWestport, but if you ask me, they will beamong the highlights. You can find outabout the others at www.johnbrowncom-inghome.com.

“We’re more than a newspaper, We’re a community service.”

You may have been noticing howmuch more we, as a community,are urged to buy local. Some of

these reasons include getting to know yourlocal farmers, experiencing foods selectedfor flavor instead of shelf life, and bolster-ing the local economy. Now as the warmthof summer has faded and the first signs ofwinter are making their annual appear-ances, most farm stands and farmers mar-kets have closed for the season, leavingyou to wonder where you can acquire lo-cally-produced foods?

Since we do not live in a climate that al-lows produce to be grown year-round, itwould be impossible to find certain typesof locally-grown produce such as freshstrawberries in January. But, you can findsome produce that has been grown underhigh-tunnels, protective row covers, or ingreenhouses through the end of Novemberand starting in the late winter/very earlyspring. More and more growers in our areaare realizing the benefits of investing inseason extension and as a result, we canpurchase fresh salad greens long after thefall frost has killed our garden growngreens and long before we could ever getour greens into our gardens in the spring.

In addition to season extension, there isquite a bit of local produce that can bestored and eaten throughout the winter.Our apple growers store apples in coldstorage, allowing area residents the oppor-tunity to eat local apples throughout thewinter. Vegetables such as carrots, wintersquash, potatoes, turnip, cabbage, rutaba-

ga, onion,and garliccan all bestored in acool, darkenvironmentfor a fewmonths.Farmersstore thisproducethroughoutthe winterand continueto sell to lo-cal commu-nity members.

More and more grocery stores, especiallylocally owned markets, are purchasing atleast a portion of their products from localfarmers and producers. Many of these storeowners will advertise what produce is lo-cal, making it easy to identify as locallygrown. Adirondack Harvest, a not-for-prof-it organization dedicated to local foods,helps connect consumers with producers.

A HOT DEAL FROM YOUR

WOODMASTER DEALER

By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PERU — When Paula Nephew and her hus-band, Dick, opened the doors of Cricket’s Restau-rant in the fall of 1999, little did they know 10years later they’d be more than a business, they’dbe an important part of the community.

“We purchased the property in October thatyear and opened the 15th of November,” recalledPaula Nephew. “It all happened so fast.”

Nephew said she and her husband, each ofwhom had backgrounds in the restaurant indus-try prior to opening Cricket’s, opened the busi-ness after another restaurant at the Bear SwampRoad location had closed its doors.

“We needed a place to dine,” she said. “Therestaurant had closed and the opportunity cameup and we jumped on it.”

The venture involved remodeling the building,receiving their liquor license and putting togeth-er a diverse menu they thought customers wouldenjoy, said Nephew.

“What’s nice about our menu is it isn’t just Italian, it isn’tjust French cuisine. It’s a little bit of everything,” said Nephew.“Someone could come in and have a pizza and someone couldcome in and have surf and turf, all at the same table. So, there’ssomething for everyone.”

When the national economy began seeing signs of distresslast year, Nephew said she didn’t know what to expect. How-ever, by offering a menu where a family of four can dine for lessthan $20, Cricket’s has been able to avoid feeling the pinch somebusinesses have seen in the recession.

“We really haven’t seen that many effects [from the reces-sion],” said Nephew. “I think that’s because we’re so diverse inwhat we offer and because we make it affordable enough forfamilies to be able to go out once a week or once a month with-out having to bring their entire savings for dining.”

Having nightly specials — like ones for senior citizens Tues-days, Thursdays and Sundays — has also helped business,Nephew said.

“Seniors can get an all-inclusive meal on those days that hasa smaller portion, but comes with a beverage and our dessert ofthe day. It’s just enough for them but they get everything, andit’s affordable,” said Nephew.

And, offering a children’s menu that has staples like ham-burgers and macaroni and cheese, makes a difference, Nephewadded.

“You’ve got to have mac and cheese on the menu. You justhave to,” she said with a laugh.

What’s also helped Cricket’s become a mainstay in the com-munity has been its banquet room. The ability to accommodatelarge parties and host receptions has drawn people from notonly Peru, but other communities as well, said Nephew.

“We host banquets for places like CV-Tec and most of the lo-cal credit unions,” said Nephew. “December is also our busiestmonth because of the holiday gatherings, office parties, tradi-tional family dinners we do. There’s always something goingon in the banquet room.”

Though having the right facility and the right menu makesup for a good portion of drawing customers, said Nephew, it’sdeveloping strong bonds with them that creates repeat busi-

ness.“We have some customers that, when they come in, they have

to sit at a certain booth and if it’s not available, they wait,”Nephew said with a smile. “We have a tremendous amount ofcustomers who’ve really become our friends. And, with someof them it feels like they’re part of our family now.”

Terry and Shawn Lydamore of Lewis have been coming toCricket’s since the business opened and said it’s been the friend-ly faces and inviting atmosphere that has kept them comingback ever since.

“When you come here, you feel like you’re at home,” saidShawn Lydamore, as she and her husband attended an an-niversary party for Cricket’s Nov. 15.

“It’s not like a franchise,” added her husband. “They’re fan-tastic people and they do all sorts of things for the communi-ty.”

Nephew said she feels giving back to the community —whether it’s purchasing equipment for the Peru Central SchoolDistrict, sponsoring local sports teams or collecting donationsfor the local food shelf — only makes sense.

“It’s important to us, because without them, without our cus-tomers, we wouldn’t have a business,” said Nephew.

That sense of community is what draws customers like theLydamores back to a business they say is more than the typicalchain restaurant.

“They’re good people and, more important, they’re goodfriends,” said Shawn Lydamore.

What’s next for Cricket’s? Nephew said the business will be-gin catering for Harmony Golf Course in Port Kent next year.

“The purveyors of the golf course, who are friends of ours,approached us about the idea and we felt the timing was justright,” said Nephew. “We’ve wanted to get into catering andthis was a great way to start. We’ve already got two weddingsbooked there. We’re excited.”

Nephew said she doesn’t know what else is in store for thenext 10 years, but said she plans to continue offering Cricket’spatrons the same friendly service and affordable dining they’vegrown accustomed to and plans on making more friends.

“We’re just going to continue doing what we’re doing,” saidNephew. “Hopefully we’re here for a long, long time.”

America is suffering from over-consumption andexcessive accumulation. One of the fastest grow-ing businesses in America is the self-storage

business. Even in profoundly rural Essex County, self stor-age units have popped up in many area communities. Insuburban and urban areas, the need for self storage has be-come insatiable. While personal bankruptcy and recordnumbers of people losing their homes to defaulted mort-gages have many running to self-storage facilities, thoseelements alone do not explain the exponential increase inself-storage in America.

The experts suggest that there is a cost for accumulatingclutter beyond the financial impact. Ergonomics is the sci-entific study of humans, space and energy. According toergonomic scientists, objects create energy in our livingspace, their placement and displacements, the space theytake up, create energy in our homes. If our homes are clut-tered, the energy is negative 100 percent of the time. Thatenergy can make us anxious and depressed or it can evenmake us ill.

If you have ever been in a high school science class youmay recall learning about stressed-out mice when their liv-ing space became overcrowded. As their space became pro-gressively more crowded with more stuff, not more mice,mice that once had exhibited socially nurturing and lifesupporting behaviors became more and more depressedand anxious. Some mice became so anxious that a few re-sorted to cannibalistic behavior.

As humans, our essential DNA is not dramatically dif-ferent than those laboratory mice and while few of us willbecome flesh-consuming monsters, many of us may be-come stressed and anxious. Have you ever stayed in a nice

hotel? It is not accidentalthat upscale hotels featurelarge, open spaces. Hotelscreate open spaces because itcompels guests to feel re-laxed. Relaxed guests feellike engaging in recreation,going out to dinner and tootherwise spend money hav-ing fun.

According to my reckon-ing, at any given moment, 25 percent of our homes shouldfeature open space. In each room, 25 percent of your wallspace and floor space should be open. This is the 25 per-cent rule. Take down that framed poster announcing PeterFrampton’s record setting performance at Plattsburg State.Each closet in your home should have 25 percent of itsspace available. You may need to give up that old jeanjacket that used to fit you 15 pounds ago.

I have resolved to declutter my life one space at a time. Iwill judiciously apply the 25 percent rule to each space inmy life. Open spaces encourage calmness and imagination.In applying the 25 percent rule, I will end up with a wellbalanced home with a positive energy signature. If the 25percent rule is real, anyone employing it should end upwith about 25 percent more discretionary time at the endof the process. Time conceivably used for doing somethingfun with friends or family. Remember all kids count.

Kids Count By Scot Hurlburt

Does your stuff own you?

Super-Couponing Secret: The day of the week weshop makes a huge difference how much money wecan save.

To understand this tip, consider this: Many grocerystores run two sales cycles each week. One flier comes outon Thursday and runs for seven days. This is the "long" cy-cle, which runs Thursday-to-Wednesday. But the samestores often have a second sales flier that comes out onSundays and runs for four days. This is the "short" cycle,which runs Sunday-to-Wednesday.

Now, look at a calendar and pay attention to the days.There are four days each week when both cycles and salesfliers overlap: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.If your store participates in two sales cycles, these are thedays you want to shop in order to maximize your savings.By shopping Monday through Wednesday, you gain theadvantage of two concurrent sales rather than just one.

Why do stores do this? Look at the remaining three daysin the week: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These arebusy days for a grocery store. Statistically speaking,they're also the days people are most likely to shop with-out much forethought. The weekend is approaching, theworkweek is almost done and people head to the store. Bycontrast, when Sunday rolls around and the new week ar-rives, store traffic drops off. The store issues more salesand more deals on those days in order to drive traffic backinto the store. These are the days we want to shop!

People often ask me how many times I'm at the grocerystore during the week (I can't imagine why, but many peo-ple are under the impression that I practically live there!)The truth is much less exciting. I really do shop just once aweek. But I always shop on one of days when both salesfliers are active.

Another reason to shop earlier in the week is that storeswill raise prices on many items later in the week. My store

recently had a sale on abrand-name cereal. At $1.25a box, it was already a greatprice; with a $1 coupon, Itook it home for a quarter.That sale ran Sundaythrough Wednesday. OnThursday, the same cerealwas still on "sale," but thenew sale price? $2.50 a box. The price doubled in one day!This is one of those hidden little games the stores play, too.The same items may be on sale, but the sale price is a lotless attractive as the higher-traffic shopping days ap-proach

If you never clipped a single coupon, you would save agreat deal of money just by shopping earlier in the week. IfI had purchased my cereal on Thursday instead of Wednes-day, I would have paid twice the price! Now, think aboutmany other items in the grocery store take similar jumps inprices as the end of the week nears, and you'll see why itmakes sense to shop on the days the sales overlap.

If you need even more convincing, consider what hap-pens when the same product is on sale in both sales fliers.I've seen crackers on sale for $1.99 in the long-cycle flierwhile in the short cycle flier, the same crackers were onsale Buy One, Get One Free! The smart shopper who is inthe store on the days that the sales overlap, will not onlyget the crackers for $1.99, they'll take home a second pack-age for free. And if they use a coupon on each box ... Oh,the possibilities!

Veterans Day dinner raised hundreds

To the editor,On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2009, the Willsboro United

Methodist Church hosted the fifth annual Veterans Day Pro-gram and Dinner for approximately 75 veterans and theirguests. At that time, a "free will offering" was collected todonate 50 percet of the proceeds collected to the NorthernNew York Veterans Assistance Program and and to donate50 percent to the Vermont National Guard's Veterans Assis-tance Family Readiness Program in memory of Justin Wris-ley Garvey, a Vermont soldier, born here in Willsboro, whowas killed in Iraq in 2003.

I would like to thank all the veterans, guests, and programparticipants for their generous contributions totaling $500 tothese two worthy causes. It is just one more example of howveterans and their families are more than willing to help oth-er veterans. We have always been so very fortunate in thiscountry to have men and women willing and ready to servetheir country and assure that this country remains free.Thank you, veterans.

Shoe boxes of donations being collected to help children overseas

By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — The First Assembly ofGod has been helping less fortunate childrenoverseas for the past 10 years, and it’s a tra-dition that continues.

Since 1999, the Prospect Avenue churchhas been collecting shoe boxes full of schoolsupplies, hygiene products and toys forneedy children as part of Operation Christ-mas Child. The project is a philanthropic ef-fort overseen by Samaritan’s Purse, an in-ternational Christian relief organization, ex-plained Rita D. Alford, coordinator for thelocal church’s collection center.

The First Assembly of God first became in-volved as a relay center, receiving donationsfrom people in the area. The donations werethen sent on to a collection center in Albany,where they were then packed transported tothe headquarters of Samaritan’s Purse inBoone, N.C. The boxes were then sent to des-tinations around the globe.

In recent years, efforts at the First Assem-bly of God have grown and the church todayserves as a collection center. Donations aretaken in from relay centers in Saranac Lake,Malone and Massena, and are then trans-ported directly from Plattsburgh to Boonefor worldwide distribution.

Since 1993, when Operation ChristmasChild was first established Samaritan’sPurse chief executive officer Franklin Gra-ham, son of Christian evangelist Billy Gra-ham, the organization has collected 69 mil-lion shoe boxes. Last year, more than 8 mil-lion shoe boxes were collected internation-ally for Operation Christmas Child, with ap-proximately 5 million coming from the Unit-ed States alone. The Plattsburgh collectioncenter transported 4,202 of those shoe boxesto the distribution center in North Carolina.

This year, Alford wants those numbers togrow.

“Eight million sounds like a lot, but it’s re-ally not compared to the amount of childrenborn every year [in developing countries],”said Alford. “In India alone, there are an es-timated 28 million babies born a year ... so ifevery man, woman, boy and girl in thiscountry packed a shoe box, it wouldn’t evenbe enough for every child in India under 14years of age.”

“We’d like to at least collect 4,500 [shoeboxes] this year,” Alford added.

Operation’s Christmas Child’s NationalCollection Week, falls this year from Mon-day, Nov. 16, through Monday, Nov. 23. And,while the emphasis on collecting doesn’t of-ficially start for another week, shoe boxesand other donations are already being ac-cepted, said Alford, who added making a do-nation is “very easy.”

Donors may take an empty shoe box orsmall plastic container and fill it with giftsfor a girl or boy child. The boxes will be or-

ganized by age category — 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14— and by gender before being distributed.

Alford, who traveled to the Dominican Re-public with Operation Christmas Child lastFebruary, said seemingly trivial items likepens and pencils, toothbrushes and tooth-paste, and toy cars and dolls can mean theworld to a child in need.

“These shoe boxes are precious to them.It’s hard for us to believe, because we haveso much,” said Alford. “But, when someoneacross the world that doesn’t know themwould pack such a box, with such treasuresfor them, it just gives them hope.”

Boxes, which are asked to be accompaniedwith a $7 donation per box to cover trans-portation costs, may be dropped off at theFirst Assembly of God Monday through Sat-urday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, 1-5 p.m.,through Nov. 23. The boxes be will shippedout from the collection center promptlyTuesday morning, said Alford, making itnecessary all donations are turned in beforethen.

Those interested in learning more aboutOperation Christmas Child or in making adonation, may contact Alford at 563-5799 orvisit the project’s Web site at www.samari-tanspurse.org.

On Oct. 24, volunteers from the Champlain Area Trails picked up roadside litter and formed thenumber 350 out of returnable cans and bottles. This was done as part of a nation-wide Interna-tional Day of Climate Action initiative to publicize the number 350, which, in parts per million, isthe safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The volunteers cleaned up roads thatconnect trails at Coon Mountain, Split Rock Wild Forest, and Whallonsburg.

Volunteers placed 5,200 American flags on Marcy Field in Keene Valley Nov. 11 in honor of Veter-ans Day. The flags were placed in a variety of words and shapes, including “Thank You,” “Patri-ot,” “USA,” stars, and hearts.

Boisen wins in Essex, Marvin’s leaderased in Elizabethtown


ELIZABETHTOWN — Elections officialsin Essex County carefully combed throughhundreds of absentee ballots earlier thisweek and determined the winners of some ofthe closest races at the town level.

Sharon Boisen, an independent, held a153-139 election night lead over Republicanincumbent Ronald Jackson in the race for Es-sex Town Supervisor..

The final count doubled Boisen’s lead,crediting her with 182 votes to Jackson’s 154.

“I’m looking forward to focusing more onlearning the job and putting my efforts onthat for now,” Boisen said.

Boisen has never held any elected officebefore, but has been involved at the townlevel on various project committees in recentyears. She said she intends to keep attend-ing meetings and communicating with oth-er county officials in preparation for thestart of her term Jan. 1.

Boisen is also working closely with Jack-son at the town hall to learn the ins and outsof everyday work as a supervisor.

“He seems to be working well with me atthis point,” said Boisen, “and I appreciatethat.”

Jackson, now in his eighth year as super-visor, is currently vice-chairman of the

board of supervisors, and would have beenslated to become chairman of the body in2010. With his absence, that seat will likelygo to another seasoned Republican supervi-sor.

Absentee ballots proved to be the differ-ence in the outcome of town council races inElizabethtown. There, Angel Marvin hadheld a three-vote lead over incumbentJoseph Martin for one of two open seats.

Martin got the bulk of absentee votes,however, and pulled ahead to a 209 to 200win. Fellow incumbent Kenneth Fenimorewas re-elected to the other open seat with239 votes.

emergency shelters, it makes alot of sense.”

Though the school is current-ly designated as a Red Crossshelter, its inability to functionin a power outage makes it ill-equipped for a catastrophicemergency such as what thetown experienced during theice storm of 1998.

With a generator, the schoolwould be able to provide shel-ter for hundreds of residents inits auditorium and gymnasi-um, and serve food in its cafe-teria.

Gallagher noted that West-port is one of the few schools inthe area that does not have itsown source of emergency pow-er.

“The fringe benefit would bethat I will never have to sendkids home in the middle of theday because of a power out-age,” Gallagher said. “That’shappened a number of times.”

Other plans in the packageinclude installing electronickey-card access on the school’s29 exterior doors and remodel-ing the school’s main entranceto ensure visitors sign in at theoffice. Both of these initiativesare to put the school in bettercompliance with federal securi-ty requirements.

In addition, the school’s ten-nis courts will be repaired andresurfaced to make them usablefor students and communitymembers. Some upgrades tothe phone system, including avoice messaging system, arealso part of the plan.

Though the total cost of the

project is anticipated to be near-ly $500,000, the school is eligi-ble for state aid that will pay forroughly 63 percent, bringingthe local cost down to $186,000or less.

State EXCEL aid, which isspecifically meant to helpschools comply with federal se-curity requirements, Gallaghersaid, will cover about $80,000 ofthe project.

Gallagher estimates the ad-ditional tax levy would meanan annual increase of between$1.20 and $3 per $100,000 of as-sessed value, depending onSTAR exemptions.

Gallagher said he is continu-ing to seek both state and fed-eral grants that could potential-ly lower the cost even more.

“If we get the project ap-proved in December, we’rehoping to do the job in August.”

Still, not everyone is enthusi-astic about the half-million-dol-

lar proposal. Westport residentGeorge King said he and sever-al others are concerned aboutthe timing of the vote.

King said taxpayers in West-port are already being asked tosupport a major project in theform of a multi-million-dollarmunicipal building that will beused to house school, town, andfire department vehicles, andthat adding more expensescould jeopardize both projects.

“Right now, this is a luxury,”said King, “and I’m not sure aluxury is needed at this time.”

King also expressed concernthat the project is apparently be-ing brought forward at a timewhen there’s a vacancy on theschool board.

A vote to fill that vacancy,prompted by the resignation ofKathleen Carter-Martinez, willalso be on the ballot Dec. 22.Candidates for the positionhave not yet been announced.

“There was no vacancy onthe school board when we de-cided to go ahead with this proj-ect,” Gallagher said, noting theboard had unanimously ap-proved the idea before Carter-Martinez resigned.

Gallagher said discussionsabout adding a generator havebeen going on since May, andthat it’s important to get theproposal passed soon to makethe most of outside funding.

“I’m afraid that the EXCELaid may go away at the end ofthis year,” said Gallagher. “Ifwe delayed it, we might nothave those funds available tous.”

Gallagher will be presentingdetails of the plan at the nexttown board meeting Nov. 24,and to the Westport Chamber ofCommerce Dec. 1. A public in-formation meeting is alsoscheduled for Dec. 10, 5:30 p.m.in the school library.

Gallagher said it’s ultimatelyup to the voters to decide if thecapital project is worthwhile.

“When you look at thesethings, you have to considercost versus benefit,” said Gal-lagher. “The benefit to theschool children is probablypretty minimal, but the benefitto the community is pretty sig-nificant.”

Gerald Dabiew Jr. said he feels lucky to be alive af-ter a near 20-minute battle with a 10-point bucklast Friday during which he was repeatedly

slammed to the ground by the powerful animal.“I have never been so scared in all my life,” the 56-year-

old said about the harrowing ordeal that transpired near hisremote home in Moira — a small community at the north-ern tip of the Adirondack Park outside Malone.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my life,” Dabiewsaid in a low voice, then added “... and I never want to seeit again.”

Dabiew said the story unfolded as he was collecting fire-wood along a log road behind his home. It was early after-noon and clear skies made the job more bearable as hetossed small chunks of wood into the bucket of a skid steerhe owns.

A lifelong native of Moira, Dabiew said he paid little at-tention when a large buck crossed the road in front of him.

After all, he’d seen plenty of deer in the woods near hishome, but the sequence of events that was about to play outwas something Dabiew had never seen, or heard of before.

“They don’t usually walk right up to you, but this deerwas coming right at me,” he recalled.

At 30 feet, the buck lowered his antlers and charged.Knocked to the ground and fighting for his life, all

Dabiew could think was he had to defend himself or thedeer was going to kill him.

“So I fought with it. I wrapped my legs around its neckand locked my arms and hands in its horns and squeezedfor all I was worth as it pounded me into the ground,” hesaid.

Minutes seemed like hours as the huge buck continuous-ly picked Dabiew’s 230-pound frame up atop its head andslammed him to the ground, driving him into rocks andstumps.

Exhausted, Dabiew said it was all he could do to hold on,but he was sure the deer would gore him if he let go andadrenaline kept him battling on.

Luckily, Dabiew said he wasn’t the only one getting tired.“He was tired himself, slowing down and breathing

heavy,” Dabiew said. “He couldn’t move his head without

moving me with it.”Eventually, however,

Dabiew could hold on nolonger, and his grip on theantlers slipped. As he fellbackward, he kicked at thedeer, causing it to rear up andrake the side of his face withits hooves.

Then, Dabiew saw his open-ing.

“After that, he walked a fewfeet away, stopped and just stood there looking back at me.That gave me time to pull myself into the skid steer. I was-n’t about to stick around for anymore,” he said.

Bruised, bloodied and covered in mud, Dabiew used hiscell phone to call for help. X-Rays showed no broken bones,but Dabiew was left with cuts and bruises all over his bodyas well as a gored right hand.

“I’m black and blue from head to toe,” he said.A longtime corrections officer at Upstate Correctional,

Dabiew said he doesn’t scare easy.“But I knew this thing was trying to kill me,” he said.

“That is a feeling you never forget.”Dabiew said he cannot speculate what might of provoked

the buck. He said a friend suggested the sound of the woodhitting the inside of the skid steer ’s bucket might havesounded like antlers rattling together.

The sound of two bucks fighting often makes a dominantbuck aggressive — especially during breeding season,which happens in November in the Adirondacks.

While Dabiew said he has never hunted, he said he’llthink twice before going back in the woods unarmed — es-pecially during breeding season.

“Who would think that the thing would do somethinglike that,” he said. “That deer was pissed.”
