LAKE PLACID Ñ ItÕ s a Lake Placid tradition each fall on the villageÕ s golf courses. Every year on a rotating basis, the bar and restaurant service community in the region tees it up to benefi t the needy animals of the Tri-Lakes Humane Society. A year ago, this event generated $7,000. The twoperson scramble at picturesque Craig Wood Golf Course on Route 73 hopes to produce even better results on Tuesday, Sept. 10. The combined handicap of each team cannot be lower than 20. The tournament, contested in menÕ s, womenÕ s and mixed divisions, is presented by beverage distributor High Peaks Distributing in Saranac Lake and online golf retailer rockbottomgolf.com, which has donated many prizes for this event.

Community unites to ‘Save the Rock’ By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

LAKE PLACID Ñ A group of Lake Placid residents and parents have come together to try and help save a Lake Placid landmark. The group is seeking to save the rock that is located next to the bandshell in Mids Park, which engineers overseeing a project to create a new staging area say will have to be removed in order to do the work. Ò This upcoming year the Bandshell in Mids Park is going to get a much needed renovation,Ó Jeff Erenstone said. Ò In doing so, the ground needs to be raised to make more dancing space, improve the wheelchair access, and have better control of water runoff. The only sacrifi ce in this plan is Ô The Rock,Õ that kids play on in front of the current bandshell. Our children play on this rock, and we think it is very important characteristic of this

park and needs to be saved.Ó Erenstone and others presented their request to members of the Lake Placid Village Board Aug. 26. He said the village Board gave Ò conceptual approvalÓ to the plans to replace Ò The RockÓ with a new rock and place it in Mids Park. Erenstone said that goes along with the mission of the group, which is to Ò save the rockiness of Mids Park by assisting in the replacement of the current rock with a replacement rock while promoting/fundraising for the Lake Placid Bandshell Renovation project.Ó Ò Even if people donÕ t care about the rock, we believe that the bandshell project is a worthy cause and worthy of donations,Ó Erenstone said. Ò Mountain Orthotic and Prosthetic Services has promised to match funds up to $1,000 for donation to the Bandshell Park Fund at generousact.org/donate with special instruction to Save the Rock.Ó

Erenstone said that the committee has created a Facebook page (facebook.com/ lprocksave), which promotes both the need for the rock and the need for a new bandshell. The page also includes several fun facts. •Studies have shown that children who climb on rocks while listening to music have a 70 percent greater chance of success in life. •The lead singer for Def Leppard sat on this rock when he composed Ò Rock of Ages.Ó •Almost all rainbows end here. The mineralogical testing is not complete yet, but there is a strong suspicion that the center of the rock is solid gold. Ò None of the fun facts on the Facebook page can be verifi ed and may not be fact at all,Ó Erenstone said. Ò But I think they are fun.Ó

TUPPER LAKE Ñ A community effort will allow the State Theater to stay current in the new, digital movie age. The Adirondack North Country Association announced last week that the State Theater had reached its fundraising goal of $95,000 to update the two movie screens for the coming switchover to digital film. Small community theaters throughout the country have been faced with the same task, to generate enough money to make the transition to digital film or go out of business. State owner Sally Strasser was grateful for the community support and the chance to continue to run the latest films in Tupper Lake. Ò I couldnÕ t be more grateful that the people in Tupper Lake who want their theater to be healthy and in business, that they love the place so much,Ó Strasser said. Ò I canÕ t wait to get more movies, earlier, when my audience wants them.Ó The funds also help keep an important part of the townÕ s history alive. Ò It is such a piece of history here, and IÕ m ecstatic we can keep it,Ó she said. Ò IÕ m so proud to be part of this amazing community. I always knew this was a special place.Ó Strasser was able to get a $35,000 grant to start before community members helped out. According to ANCA, the remaining $60,000 was raised in less than a month. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

The Saranac Lake Winter Carnival is the

Andy Flynn will talk about Saranac Lake Winter Carnival memories Sept. 12 at the Saranac Village at Will Rogers. East CoastÕ s longest-running winter carnival, which dates to 1897. National Geographic Traveler magazine called it the No. 2 winter carnival in the world. Complete with an

Ice Palace, built with blocks of ice harvested from Lake Flower, this 10-day festival draws thousands of residents to Saranac Lake every winter.

Ò This volunteer-based event is important to the community because it helps get residents through the long Adirondack winters,Ó Flynn said. Ò ThereÕ s nothing like it anywhere.Ó Flynn is an author and publisher living in Saranac Lake, having published eight books including the Ò Adirondack AtticÓ book series. He currently operates Hungry Bear Publishing with his wife, Dawn.

This program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. For more information, contact Debbie Kanze at 891-7117.

State asks boaters to wash off ‘hitch hiking’ invasive species

ALBANY — The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation launched an education campaign at its 149 boat launching sites statewide urging boaters to help Ò Stop Aquatic HitchhikersÓ by ridding their boats of potentially harmful invasive species before and after each visit to State Park marinas and boat launches. “Aquatic invasive species can spoil boating and fishing trips, reduce lakeshore property values and undermine the tourism industry,Ó State Parks Commissioner Rose Harvey said. Ò Once established, controlling non-native plant and animal life is extremely costly – and eradication is very difficult, sometimes impossible. We need the assistance and cooperation of boaters to prevent invasive species from degrading State Parks and waters.Ó Trailered boats, car top boats and equipment moving between waterways are among the leading ways invasive species can Ò hitchhikeÓ to new bodies of water. With Environmental Protection Fund support through New YorkÕ s Department of State and Department of Environmental ConservationÕ s Ocean and Great

Lakes program, State Parks has developed the Ò Stop Aquatic HitchhikersÓ signs for 149 boat launch sites statewide Ð informing visitors about what they can do to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. Each sign describes steps boaters should follow: •Clean and remove all visible plants, animals, fish and mud from your boat, trailer and other equipment, and dispose of it in a suitable trash container or on dry land. •Drain water from bilge, live wells, ballast tanks and any other locations with water before leaving the launch. Disinfect when possible. •Dry your boat, trailer, and all equipment completely. At least 5 days of drying time is recommended. Drying times vary depending on weather and material. Ò Access to New YorkÕ s waterways provides tremendous recreational opportunities for residents and for visitors from all over the world,Ó State Department of State Secretary Cesar A. Perales said. Ò I applaud the work of Commissioner Harvey and her staff in their work to enlist boaters to help keep New YorkÕ s lake eco-

systems healthy and our coastal communities thriving.Ó Ò Invasive species present a risk to the ecosystem, impair recreational opportunities on New York water bodies, and can cause billions of dollars in economic losses,Ó State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens said. Ò Gov. Cuomo has committed state resources to address this problem, and we encourage all New Yorkers to join this effort by being aware of the threat and taking steps to prevent the spread of aquatic invasives.Ó Aquatic invasive species are non-native plants and animals that threaten native plants, wildlife and their habitats. Aquatic invasive species negatively impact recreation for boating, fishing and swimming by clogging waterways, changing the aesthetics of water bodies, and adversely altering natural habitat. Species such as Eurasian watermilfoil, zebra mussels and Hydrilla have already impacted several State Park lakes and ponds. Recently, Essex and Warren counties passed legislation to help right the spread of invasive acquatic speices into Lake George.

Cost for a college education becoming exorbitant

hen looking at investments, the smartest thing to do is to weigh the cost and the potential reward. Every year students are working hard through high school in hopes of getting into a good college to further their educational goals and prepare themselves for the workforce. If students are smart they can get scholarships to pay for college. If they are lucky, their families have stockpiled money for them to attend college, or perhaps they have a combination of the two. Most college students start out with no financial debt and no real know-how of balancing a checkbook, planning their financial future, and no investments other than their potential investment in their education. New Yorkers in recent years have seen a steady increase in tuition for State Universities (SUNY) or City Universities (CUNY). The $100 increases may not feel like an immediate punch to the wallet but over time those increases have mounted, severely impacting students. Why is New York State using our students to settle debts made by its lawmakers? In recent years the tuition hikes have gone straight into the state’s general fund — not a penny benefited the educational institutions. The state needs to start seeing college students as more than a revenue source if they truly believe they are Ò our future.Ó Many other countries see the value in providing a free college education to their citizens as a security deposit for a profitable future. European countries like Sweden offer a free college education to citizens. Though student loans are also taken out to provide food and housing while students attend college, SwedenÕ s college graduates are leaving with a degree and 60 percent less college debt than students in America. Tying the financial burden left by financially established adults to newly self reliant young adults is unethical. Mortgage loan debt can be forgiven when someone declares bankruptcy. Student loan debt will never be forgiven and interest rates are allowed to jump any which way the lender wants. If our educated young adults must make a choice between securing a job in their field or taking a hit and starting in an entry-level position which pays more, many will be forced to leave their chosen field to pay off the debt. Carrying this debt results in future impacts to the stateÕ s economy. Not only might graduates leave their field, they could leave the state to find cheaper cost of living elsewhere. This

abandonment will be one less New Yorker paying taxes, buying a home and or sending their children to New York schools. If this is a graduate’s first loan, when a minimum payment comes through on the bill the first thing an untrained person will see is the minimum allowable payment. The minimum payment could be $50 or it could be hundreds. Either might feel more manageable for the student. Unfortunately, paying just the minimum debt does little to lower the principle. It could be 10 or even 20 years before the student is debt free. And, the option of deferring students loans can only be accessible for so long. Most college graduates go into fields still as entry level workers with minimum paychecks living in modest homes if not back in with their parents to pay back the student loans. The question needs to be raised why is New York strapping people who are just starting out with debts that most simply cannot afford to pay back Ñ at least in the foreseeable future. In 2011, The New York State Legislature passed legislation which authorized the SUNY Board of Trustees to raise tuition for SUNY and CUNY campuses every year for the next five years. SUNY schools will raise tuition $300 per year for in-state students through the 2015-2016 academic year, $940 per year for out-of-state students at SUNY colleges and $1,340 per year for out-of-state students at the SUNY University Centers located in Binghamton, Stony Brook, Buffalo and Albany. Earlier in the summer Republican senators shot down bills before the Senate that would have stabilized and regulated interest rates for student loans and set a precedent in investing in the future of students in New York. An analysis by the State Budget Office estimated that interest rates for students will rise nearly 3 percent this year alone. The cost of a college education is simply becoming too overwhelming in this state and a majority of the country. Is the alternative to simply not attend college and enter the workforce debt free? It is a question todayÕ s high school graduate really needs to ask themselves. In the meantime, state lawmakers need to do a whole lot more when it comes to investing in higher education, because these individuals truly are our future. Ñ

Egg facts

By Laurie Davis

ast month, as I was writing about local dairy options in the North Country, I had this niggling thought that I was missing an important component. Today I remembered: eggs! Wait. Eggs arenÕ t dairy are they? Well, they are not a true dairy product (food produced as milk or from the milk of mammals), but they are an animal by-product and are thus lumped into that category. IÕ m fairly passionate about eggs. On our small family farm, we raise our own; our hens feed on plenty of grass, seeds and other herbaceous material around the farm, plus insects and kitchen

It’s crunch time By Rick Levitre

We are addicted to our fresh eggs, rich with flavor and yolks so deeply orange the hue is startling to the uninitiated. I am a firm believer in the benefits of consuming eggs from true free-range laying hens. Take note: commercial claims of Ò free-rangeÓ do not guarantee access to the natural smorgasbord listed above (although the hens likely have more space and your conscience can relax about the Ò humaneÓ treatment). Having long ago aban-

doned mass-produced supermarket eggs for homegrown, I pay little attention to the price. However, a colleague, who’s a terrific supporter of our farmers, was astonished to find local eggs priced at $4.25 per dozen while commercial eggs hover around $2.00 per dozen. Although she did eventually purchase them, she remained skeptical of the value. Why are local eggs so expensive? Are they worth the extra money? I assert that they are more nutritious and delicious depending on what the hen is consuming. Brightly orange yolks indicate increased beneficial nutrients such as beta-carotene and xanthophylls like lutein. Various studies carried out in the

past ten years confirm that true free-range laying hens produce eggs that have significantly higher quantities of nutrients we want (vitamins A, D, E, B12, folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, beta-carotene) and less of the stuff we donÕ t (cholesterol, saturated fat). The more pasture grazing (read: greens, bugs, seeds) the more healthful the eggs and the deeper the “egg flavor”. Why are these eggs so expensive though? I mean, the food in the pasture is free, right? There are many costs that go into producing eggs: chicks, bedding, heat, waterers, fencing, and housing to name a few. It takes about six months for a hen to reach Ò laying ageÓ during which time there are not any

egg sales to offset costs. The largest cost, by far, is the feed. The grass and bugs are not supplying all of the calories needed to sustain the hens. Supplemental feed is necessary, and feed costs have more than doubled in the past decade alone. When the math is done, the small farmer cannot afford to charge much less than $3 per dozen just to break even. And that doesnÕ t include labor. For more insight on this topic read Josh VaillancourtÕ s blog about Ò Small-farm egg-onomicsÓ on their family farm in Saranac (wovenmeadows.com). This pricing issue is a good lesson for any of us when we try to compare local market prices to supermarkets: small farms are not op-

assisting with research and composition of three CFAÓ s. One with the County Tourism office, another with Paul SmithÕ s College and a third with North Country Community College (NCCC). The County Tourism application is for improved marketing tools to increase tourist numbers in the county. Ò Look, Stop, Stay and Learn in Franklin CountyÓ will promote new and existing events and attractions including the Wild Center, Paul Smiths College Visitors Interpretive Center and the Almanzo Wilder Farm as well as restaurants, lodging facilities, wineries and other venues. This will enhance existing attractions, increase attendance and promote new

development of tourism activities in the county. This project will focus on agritourism, cultural, heritage, culinary tourism, and recreation and in the county. Funding will be used to update websites and tie to social media, create a tourist Ò passportÓ incentive program, and develop new maps, brochures and other destination literature. This application will benefit the county by connecting the northern and southern parts of the county, increase job creation, encourage economic development, improve attraction attendance and encourage improvements of existing attractions. The Agri-business Development Kitchen (ADK) at the Paul SmithÕ s VIC will provide

farmers and small entrepreneurial businesses with a value added processing facility and supplemental support in the areas of business planning, product development, and marketing. The ADK will provide significant resources to the regional population which will assist in generating and keeping wealth in the region. The completion of the ADK through the grant process will contribute to a rising number of resources for small-scale farmers and local food entrepreneurs in underserved Franklin County. The NCCC needs to expand its existing operations in Malone to meet increasing enrollment and provide new curriculum offerings. Using

a series of partnerships with private sector developers, the expansion is a multiphase, multi-year project that will refurbish and renovate existing vacant structures in the heart of the village. Student housing expansion, classrooms, offices, student services and amenities, and an expanded fine arts classroom and laboratory are planned as well as a controlled environment agriculture incubator space for year round applied learning operations. CCE is an active participant in all three ventures because of our role in economic development; the great potential of agritourism to the regionÕ s farmers and businesses and its positive impact on the

Pub tour scheduled LAKE PLACID Ñ The North Elba Historical Society announces the Lake Placid Historic Pub Tour to be held on Thursday, Sept. 12, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. This first-ever tour will include five Lake Placid pubs that are historic sites. The tour will begin at The History Museum on Station Street at 4:45 p.m. for registration. Stops will include Liquids and Solids, Lisa GÕ s, the Lake Placid Pub & Brewery, Northwoods Inn and Mirror Lake Inn. A knowledgeable presenter at each establishment will offer a 10-15 minute talk of its his-

erating on economies of scale. Our local farmers desperately do not want to price themselves out of the market, but they are also trying to make a living. If we prefer that our local farms stay in business, we must be prepared to pay a bit more for the products they sell. Healthy, thriving farms enhance our communities, and help preserve the way of life we value here in the Adirondacks.

On Sunday, Aug. 11, Nori’s Village Market in Saranac Lake held their annual Second Sunday Donation day where 10 percent of their daily proceeds go to a local organization. The Lake Placid Center for the Arts’ Joy to the Children Benefit was the August not-for-profit chosen, and thanks to the many local supporters a check for $470 was presented to LPCA Board Member, Kathy Ford. Kathy spent several hours on Sunday talking to shoppers and passer-by and spreading the word about the annual Joy to the Children Benefit which has been donated by the Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa for the past 26 years. This year the benefit is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 5. Proceeds from Joy go directly to promoting and providing children’s programming for our area youth.

State Theater

On Aug. 1, the Tupper Lake Arts Council announced a donation of $10,000 and a $5,000 matching grant. Around the same time, Gull Pond Association started its own matching challenge, spearheaded by a $5,000 donation by the Sellin Family, that resulted in a whopping $16,200 raised in just three weeks. The Belleville family created a matching gift of $5,000. Each challenge was reached by the time it took to tally and record the checks. StewartÕ s Shops also volunteered to close the gap, making a $5,000 contribution. ANCA said as the final numbers are tallied, any additional money raised will go toward related installation costs, such as wiring and heating/cooling system updates. Ò The State Theater plays a vital role in the culture of our Tupper Lake community,Ó said Gull Pond Association member Rena Sellin. Ò We at Gull Pond are glad to do our part to keep its doors open, the movies playing and the popcorn popping.Ó Ò I am so proud to be a part of this community,Ó said Eileen Hayes of the Tupper Lake Arts Council. Ò Time after time, Tupper comes together for worthy endeavors whether it is saving a movie theater, helping a sick child, or easing the traumatic consequences of a fire.Ó The theater will be closed starting Sept. 6 for the equipment installation and Strasser expects to reopen in October. A community Ò thank youÓ event will be planned to coincide with the debut of the new digital projectors. The announcement by ANCA of the completion of the State Theater Õ s brings the total number of movie theaters to successfully complete the digital changeover fundraising to three, including the Indian Lake Theater and the Glen DriveIn of Queensbury. Melissa Hart said that the Ogdensburg Cinema has closed but the organization is still working with pursuing other options outside of the campaign to get it up and running again. Six theaters are still looking to raise the necessary money for the digital changeover, including the Palace in Lake Placid, the Strand in Old Forge, the Strand in Plattsburgh, the Strand in Schroon Lake, the Hollywood in Au Sable Forks and Cinematheque in South Glens Falls. Ò I hope the other theaters are as fortunate as we are,Ó Strasser said. Ò ItÕ s a big issue for all small towns. These small theaters donÕ t make much money but support the other businesses around them. These theaters are actually way cooler to attend than the large and boring multiplexes. I always go out of my way to visit these theaters when I travel.Ó For more information and to make a donation, visit the website razoo.com/team/Go-Digital-Or-Go-Dark. Donations can also be made offline by check to ANCA, 67 Main St., Saranac Lake, N.Y., 12983. Please indicate the theater and community you are giving to on your check.

Essex County seeks more families to help with foster program

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO Ñ Stevie Burrows is preparing to enter her final semester of college, and she has her foster family to thank for it. Ò Half of the things I have done in my life I probably would have never done if I had not been here,Ó Burrows said next to her foster mother, Becky Provost. Ò It was an experience that opened up my eyes.Ó For Provost, Burrows is one of the many success stories that have come from her time being a foster parent through Essex County. Ò Fostering gets perceived as a negative, and that is not the case at all,Ó Provost said. Ò Most of the kids that we get are from situations where you have to teach the parents to be parents again. Foster parents must be willing to work with the parents so the kids can go home. We have had kids as short as a couple of days right through to years.Ó Provost said that in her time as a foster parent, she had been Ò blessedÓ with some good kids. Ò There was only one time we had a problem where we had to have a kid removed,Ó she said. Ò They tell you to treat the kids like your own.

Stevie Burrows, center, sits with adoptive parents Bob and Becky Provost. The Provosts have been an active part of the Essex County foster program, having housed many children from newborns to teens. If you give your kids 20 presents for Christmas, then get them 20 presents.Ó Burrows was adopted by the Provost family and said the transition was tough at first. Ò When I got here, six of the seven siblings were here and then we all got dispersed,Ó she

said. Ò There was the jealously that I think you are going to have between the new kids and the kids that are already here, but everyone was pretty welcoming and there were two kids here that were my age, so that helped.Ó Still, Burrows said it was a long adjustment

process. Ò I didnÕ t know what to think when I was placed here in foster care, but I didnÕ t think it was going to be good,Ó she said. Ò I didnÕ t get along with my mom for at least five years.” Ò She has come a long way,Ó Provost said. Ò She has come all the way to the point where she is graduating in December, and I think that is a pretty remarkable accomplishment.Ó Provost said that while some people get into the foster parenting program, with the intent to adopt, the program is about more than that. “Judge (Richard) Meyer is a firm believer of doing everything that we can to put the child back with the family instead of in foster care,Ó she said. Ò It is very rare to be able to adopt a baby from foster care.Ó However, Provost has been able to make a couple of adoptions, including Burrows. Ò We started in foster care because we had three daughters and because of health reasons the doctor recommended no more pregnancies,Ó she said. Ò I wanted a son, and we were able to adopt Antonio when he was four months old.Ó Essex County is currently seeking those interested in being foster parents. For more information, call the Essex County Foster and Adoptive Home Finding office at 873-3422.

Essex County DA Kristy Sprague will be running unopposed WILLSBORO Ñ Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague will run unopposed for a second four year term for the upcoming General Election. “I do hope that this signifies I have met the challenges of the office and upheld the law to the utmost in the eyes of the people of Essex County,Ó Sprague said. Sprague will run on the Republican, Conservative and Independent line Law and Order. Ò I look forward to continue working with Kristy,Ó Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas said. Ò She has and will continue to be a remarkable D.A. Having no challenger

shows she has the respect and appreciation from the good people of Essex County for a job well done.Ó Ò I have enjoyed my position and the great responsibilities that come with it and I believe that I have lived up to the promises I made the voters during my last campaign,Ó Sprague said. “I vowed to run a fiscally responsible office and to date, have submitted budgets that remain below the previous years. I have many projects and visions for the County that I would like to continue with as we move into the next four years.Ó “This shows the continued confidence that the electorate has in Kristy and allows her four more years to serve the people of

Essex County,Ó Ron Jackson, Essex County Republican Committee Chairman and NYS Republican Regional Vice-Chairman said. “When you have someone excel in their elected office, as Kristy has, the people notice and they have rewarded her with another term.Ó “In her first term, Kristy Sprague has proven herself to be a hands-on district attorney with an impressive record of accomplishments,Ó William H. McGahay III, acting Chairman of the Essex County Conservative committee, said. Ò Essex county Conservatives are proud to support her efforts and great public service for another 4 year term.Ó

Bloated Toe Publishing film upcoming NBC feature show

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ ThereÕ s an old journalism adage that says Ò If It Bleeds It Leads.Ó That same philosophy has led Bloated Toe Publishing to the verge of prime time. Local author and publisher Larry Gooley has written and self-published numerous books, from histories of local North Country places like Lyon Mountain and Altona, to the Adirondack Literary Award winning OliverÕ s War. But itÕ s GooleyÕ s numerous stories featuring North Country murders that are currently garnering the most attention. Gooley, along with Jill Jones, his partner at Bloated Toe, were recently contacted by a representative from NBC, who wanted to use one of the stories from GooleyÕ s 2012 book Ò 25 Diabolical Adirondack Murders: The Twisted, Fiendish Deeds of Adirondack Killers,Ó for an upcoming segment on their Discovery ID channel. Ò We got a call...it actually said Ô National Broadcasting CompanyÕ on the caller ID,Ó said Jones about the July phone call they received at their office. “We figured it was just a telemarketer, so we didnÕ t want to answer the phone. I answered it, and it was someone from 30 Rock.Ó Not only did they want to use the story, they wanted Gooley to narrate part of the story. Gooley and Jones were flown to New York City, and traveled to the studio at the National Arts Club across from 30 Rockefeller Center by limousine. They spent the better part of a day

Larry Gooley in the midst of filming a feature for Discovery ID in New York City. filming Gooley for the segment, and the rest of the day exploring Manhattan. Ò It was pretty interesting to watch. TheyÕ re so fussy about everything,Ó said Gooley. Ò You give the perfect answer, and you think Ô there, I nailed that one,Õ and then theyÕ d say Ô no, do it

again, there was a truck backing up.Õ Ó They are not at liberty to say the name of the upcoming show because the name hasnÕ t been finalized, but it is “in the can” for airing in the very near future. National attention for a North Country mur-

der story is not totally new for Bloated Toe. Just a week before the call for NBC, Gooley and Jones received a call, again unsolicited, from a California production company who was interested in GooleyÕ s 2009 Ò Terror in the Adirondacks: The True Story of Serial Killer Robert F. Garrow.Ó They are in talks to turn Terror in the Adirondacks into a movie. Ò This all came to us,Ó said Gooley. Ò We should be out getting a TV network or a movie, and weÕ re not. These are coming to us.Ó Gooley is hopeful that this project comes together as well, but warns that movies are a much lengthier and tenuous prospect than a television feature. Ò Whenever we get something like this we sort of make note of it, put it aside, and keep working.Ó Working for Gooley is writing and publishing, and he doesnÕ t plan on slowing down regardless of how much attention his stories are garnering. Bloated Toe has just published Ò Killing in the Kuyahoora Valley,Ó and Gooley is currently working on another compilation of North Country murders. Photos from Gooley and JonesÕ trip to Manhattan can be found at the Bloated Toe Publishing Facebook site, and books from Gooley and numerous other North Country authors represented by Bloated Toe Publishing are available at www.bloatedtoe.com. If it bleeds it leads...and itÕ s leading Gooley and Jones well past the confines of the North Country literary scene.

Ò I never thought I would be opening for Lori Morgan at 14, hopefully my dreams keep coming true like theyÕ ve started to,Ó she said. After winning the MayorÕ s Cup Idol in Plattsburgh, Tally opened for famous country music star Morgan at the Clinton County Fair in July. Later in the summer she continued to win over judges at the Essex County Fair where she won the Idol competition there and got the opportunity to open for Higbee. Tally said she always loved singing but only began training a year ago. Ò IÕ ve always liked to sing, I felt I might as well get out

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com NEWCOMB Ñ Fifty years ago, the National Lead company moved its workforce from the mining village of Tahawus 10 miles away, to the village of Newcomb. There was a rich vein of titanium ore under those homes, and it was needed to keep the mine open. Yet relocating dozens of buildings was the easy part; integrating a tight-knit community into another one was the real challenge. Route 28N runs through the hamlet of Newcomb. From one end to the other Ñ about 5 miles Ñ this is known as the longest Main Street in the Adirondacks. ItÕ s actually 3 miles from the Newcomb Town Hall, in what they called old Newcomb, to the corner of Adams Lane, in what became new Newcomb. This is the Winebrook Hills development, an 80-acre tract National Lead purchased to create a suburb of sorts. ItÕ s where the mining company relocated the village of Tahawus, including 67 houses, five apartment buildings, two churches and a general store. Newcomb Town Supervisor George Canon has a unique perspective on the Tahawus move. He was working there 50 years ago. Ò ThereÕ s a story almost in its own right about moving to Newcomb,Ó Canon said. Ò Certainly the company spent several hundred thousand dollars to put in the water and sewer, bought the land, did the roads. Obviously they had a self-protection interest in mind. It was in the mid Ô 60s and the war was starting to pop good, and business was booming up there. They had to protect their workforce somehow, and thatÕ s how they did it, rather than just saying Ô WeÕ re out of business here in Tahawus. YouÕ re out on your own.Õ Now a lot of them didnÕ t come to Winebrook. Some went to Long Lake, some went to Schroon, some went to Minerva. They went all over the place, but they made it pretty easy to move over to here, too, to keep their workforce intact.Ó National Lead also moved workers out of the Upper Works. ThatÕ s where Canon lived in 1963. Soon, he, too, was settling down in Winebrook Hills, alongside former Tahawus residents. Ò I hated the thought of having to move out. For whatever reason, call it stubbornness or whatever, I didnÕ t go anywhere near much of the move. Obviously IÕ d see it as I went to work every day, but my place was at the Upper Works. I think I stayed at the Upper Works a year after the village was moved, until they finally forced me out and said you canÕ t stay here anymore, weÕ re closing the place up. And then I moved over to the apartments in Winebrook while they were finishing up my house down there on Marcy Lane.Ó Seventy-eight-year-old Leonard Gereau was born just up the highway in 1935, on the Boreas Road. He and his parents moved into a small house in the village of Tahawus around 1942, when the mine officially opened. He left in 1955, and his childhood home was relocated to Winebrook Hills in 1963. ItÕ s still there today on Marcy Lane. And his parents had strong feelings about moving to Newcomb. Ò They didnÕ t like it,Ó Gereau said. Ò They enjoyed the Tahawus area, particularly fishing and the Sanford Lake Rod and Gun Club, and it was a total adjustment. My dad then ended up retiring in the Ô 60s. It was kind of an overnight thing. One day they were living in Tahawus and the next day theyÕ re living here in Newcomb. So it was an abrupt change in their lives and the social part of it as well because the homes here were not set up the same way they were in Tahawus. So their next door neighbor here in Winebrook Hills was different than next door

neighbors in Tahawus.Ó In Tahawus, people rented their homes for about $25 a month. In Winebrook Hills, National Lead sold the homes to their workers. For Gereau, his parentsÕ tiny home on Marcy Lane brought back a childhood memory from January 1953. Ò My fatherÕ s sister in Glens Falls died at a very young age and left seven children,Ó Gereau said. Ò He took two of the boys, Dick Lashway and Jim Lashway, to help out his sisterÕ s family. And there was my brother Ed and my brother Jim and myself, three boys already, and then two more boys. So five boys living in this house. And that was a period of history when polio existed ... And I recall my mom and dad keeping the five boys in this house for the month of January in 1953. And that was a very difficult time because we enjoyed fighting.” Not all the homes were small, but residents who lived in the small ones made the best of it. Some, like the Gereaus, added bedrooms in the space allotted. Ò Originally downstairs there were only two (bedrooms), and my dad put two in the attic area,Ó Gereau said. Ò So thatÕ s where we were as boys; we slept upstairs in the attic.Ó

At the Newcomb Historical Society Museum, two workers were watching a video of the 1963 move on a computer screen. It’s color film set to music on a DVD. Sally Rockwood and Jean Strothenke grew up down the street from each other in Tahawus. Rockwood lived in there until she was 13, and Strothenke until she was 15. Ò Ooh, somebody had a garage,Ó Strothenke said, pointing to the computer screen. Ò We sure didnÕ t.Ó Ò This is in Newcomb,Ó Rockwood said. The garages were built after the move, as they didnÕ t have garages in Tahawus. Asked if they had street names in Tahawus like they do in Winebrook Hills, Rockwood said yes. Both women lived down the street from each other on Lakeside Drive. Ò Sanford Lake,Ó Strothenke said. Ò We were right on the lake ... right near the sewer plant. I canÕ t believe we played at that damn place. And it was great fishing right there, the sewer plant.Ó Ò I wonder why,Ó Rockwood said. The video showed an image of the YMCA,

Village of Tahawus photo by Newcomb Historical Society

which opened in 1948. It wasnÕ t moved to Newcomb. Instead, it was re-purposed for other mining operations after the residents left. Ò That was probably one of the biggest disappointments or disadvantages for the kids here that moved here,Ó Strothenke said. Ò Not just the kids because the Y was the center of everything for adults and children,Ó Rockwood said. Ò There was always something going on, whether it was a mother-daughter banquet or a kidsÕ basketball game or movies for 10 cents.Ó Ò We didnÕ t have a television, so if you wanted to watch TV, you went to the Y,Ó Strothenke said. Ò And we didnÕ t have a phone. We never had a phone. We had a phone when I was 16 when we moved to North Hudson.Ó Ò You never had a phone in Tahawus?Ó Rockwood asked. Ò No, never had a phone,Ó Strothenke said. Ò And if you wanted to see a movie, the Y was where you saw it. Friday nights, 10 cents a movie. And you grabbed your chair and set it up in the gym. It was wonderful.Ó With the YMCA lost for good, former Tahawus residents were left with a void in their social activities at Winebrook Hills. Ò There was kind of an empty hole there,Ó Rockwood said. “The school filled in quite a bit of it because we had quite a few good teams.Ó Supervisor Canon remembered the YMCA as the center of the Tahawus community. Ò I think the biggest thing about Tahawus was the camaraderie and the sense of almost isolation with the Y,Ó Canon said. Ò We had everything we wanted. We didnÕ t need to go outside. We had hunting and fishing, camping. You had basketball, you had baseball. The Y had everything in it. You had a television room. You had a library. You had a weight room. You had a gym. You had a pool. You had bowling.Ó In Tahawus, the residents didnÕ t really have much to worry about, as far as keeping up their homes. After all, the company owned them. Ò The town took awfully good care of us, though. The town did our garbage, the town stained our houses every five years,” Strothenke said. Isolation was an issue for Tahawus families. Ò One thing I remember my mother talking about was there was only one road in and out,Ó Rockwood said. Ò That was rather frightening sometimes. I can remember sitting on the porch

The big move began in August 1963 and lasted about six months. Newcomb residents would line the highway, for hours, watching the buildings being towed to their new foundations in Winebrook Hills. Ò The old wiveÕ s tale is that Ñ and I suspect it did happen Ñ that everything was all ready to roll here in Newcomb, everything was ready to tie in,Ó Canon said. Ò And the guy got up in Tahawus, ate his breakfast, went into the mines. And theyÕ d come in, picked up his (house), brought it over, set it on the foundation, tied in the utilities, and when the whistle blew at 4:30, he drove over here to Newcomb, sat in the same seat and ate his supper. Now I canÕ t say that happened a lot, but I do believe it did happen.Ó When Tahawus moved, it essentially doubled the size of NewcombÕ s population. And it took more than a decade for residents to adjust, on both sides of the Hudson River. Ò And there was a tension between old Newcomb, and now youÕ ve got a hundred houses of families that didnÕ t pay any taxes, had very low living expenses, paid very little attention to the politics of life,Ó Canon said. Ò Now they come over here, these hundred houses, trying to integrate with the other hundred houses in what I always refer to as old Newcomb and there was some tension in the air.Ó Tension stemmed from a number of factors. Education. There was a school at Tahawus for grades K through 3, so an addition had to be built for the new students. Plus, the Tahawus and Newcomb athletes vied for starting lineups. Health care. A proposal by National Lead to build a medical center split the community and was never constructed. Politics. Winebrook residents began replacing longtime politicians in old Newcomb. And Religion. The St. Therese Catholic Church was moved from Tahawus to Winebrook. Ò That was another bone of contention, because when they moved the Catholic Church down here, they closed up the Catholic Church that had been in existence and use down across from the bar, down next to the Santanoni Road,Ó Canon said. Ò And that didnÕ t go over too big with some of your Catholics here in Newcomb that had been using that church forever. Another contentious issue.Ó Soon after Winebrook Hills filled up, community leaders formed the Lions Club, mainly to bring old Newcomb and new Newcomb together. And, in many ways, it worked. They built a baseball diamond, a skating rink and a playground. Supervisor Canon is one of two founding members who are still around. And heÕ s still on Marcy Lane, living among the many houses that came to Newcomb 50 years ago from Tahawus. Today, National Lead still owns the land where the community of Tahawus once stood. Much of the property is filled in with tailings and is unrecognizable when compared to 1963. The mine closed in the late 1980s, and the buildings that were left in 1963, like the YMCA, are long gone. Only memories remain.
