NORTH CREEK — As the crowdroared for the competitors to ham it up,flashbulbs popped and eager handsstretched out for a chance to touch theglorious growth displayed by entrantsin the fourth annual Donegal beardcontest March 17.

The field was heavy with local talent,many from North Creek, Chestertownand Minerva. Serena May is the onlyfour-year veteran of the contest’s judg-ing panel. The other two judges arepulled from the crowd and given thechance to decide the fate of the Chia-chinned contestants.

“It’s all about style,” said May. Notsimply style, she clarified, but swag-ger. The contestants need to work thecrowd for maximum points.

Returning champion Dan Meehanput much of his effort on style, wearinga leprechaun costume in bright greenfrom his clover-colored top hat to hisemerald knickerbockers.

Meehan said he was disappointedwith the growth he managed this year.Though thick, he worried that thewarm weather didn’t stimulate hisbeard to grow as luxuriously as his

OLMSTEDVILLE — Organizers of the an-nual Easter Egg Hunt at the Minerva CentralSchool are busy preparing for this year ’sevent, which is scheduled for Sunday, April1.

Steve and Diane Colletti, owners of It’sAbout Thyme Farm in Olmstedville, will behosting their fourth annual Easter Egg Huntstarting at 1 p.m. in the field behind theschool. They hope to get as many childrenup to 12 years old participating in the hunt-ing exercise, and they need to start aspromptly as possible because the partici-pants are always anxious.

“The kids really want to get in there (andsearch for the eggs),” Diane said.

The kids don’t hunt for pastel-colored,hard-boiled chicken eggs; rather, they willbe looking for a variety of hollow, plasticeggs filled with an assortment of candy.More than 1,000 of these eggs, plus other

treats, will be scattered throughout the field.There will be goodies for the adults as

well, including door prizes and giveaways.Kids from 1 to 100 can take a guess at the Jel-ly Bean Jar, guessing how many jelly beansare in a glass container.

In 2011, almost 60 children attended theEaster Egg Hunt in Minerva, and they trav-eled from all over the region.

For more information, contact the Collet-tis at the It’s About Thyme Farm in Olmst-edville 251-5297 or visit online atwww.itsaboutthyme.com.

(Johnsburg Central School sophomores Sarah Morris and ShilohWood wrote this news story under the tutelage of English teacherKaty Odell.)

NORTH CREEK — Students and teachers at JohnsburgCentral School are in the final stages of preparing for thisyear ’s musical, “Beauty and the Beast,” to be performed at7 p.m. Friday, March 30 and 7 p.m. Saturday, March 31 in theschool auditorium.

“We have quite a way to go,” said musical director MaryLeach. “We just started using sets and every component thatwe add requires more time.”

Leach said she chose “Beauty” for this year ’s show be-cause “the music is singable. Everyone is familiar with thetunes. Also, the play calls for a big cast. There were manyparts, so many people could have a chance to have a princi-ple part.”

Starring in the play as the modest and beautiful Belle issenior Moriah Amadeo, along with senior Liam Harrison asthe vicious but loving Beast. Dustin Weller, a senior, is play-ing Gaston, the hot-headed brute, along with junior Jon Or-dway as LeFou, Gaston’s clumsy sidekick. Junior Chris Guy

is cast as Maurice, Belle’s caring, supportive father. EthanCooper, also a junior, is Lumiere, the laid-back candlestick.Alistair McKee, a senior, will portray Cogsworth, the uptightclock.

Other primary parts include Mikayla Glode as Mrs. Potts,the sweet teapot, and Montana Berg as Chip, her son, thecute teacup. Alongside Leach throughout the rehearsals isstudent director Courtney Allard.

Asked about playing the lead role of the Beast, Harrisonsaid that “it’s different. [Playing the beast ] is something Iwanted to do because it’s something not everyone gets to try.It’s nice to be on stage.

“It was hard to memorize the lines and songs at first, butonce you run through it a couple of times, it gets easier. Sofar, I think it’s going well. We have had a lot of support fromthe students and we’ve had a lot of participation and peopleare working together really well.”

Ashlee Hitchcock, a senior playing an extra, spoke foreveryone when she said, “I think we’re all involved enough;we all get a spotlight.”

“It’s been a great experience working with everyone andwe look forward to a great play,” Leach added.

Tickets for the Johnsburg Central School production of“Beauty and the Beast” are $6 for adults and $4 for studentsand senior citizen and may be purchased at the door.

INDIAN LAKE — IndianLake School Board membersTuesday, March 20 votedunanimously to adopt a 2012-2013 budget totaling$5,822,831.

The budget represents a$39,515 — 0.68 percent — in-crease over the 2011-2012budget, and it includes a 2.9percent tax levy increase.

Board President JonVorhees and Vice PresidentDavid Harrington commend-ed all involved in the budgetprocess for the hard workand cooperation evident inbringing the budget in linewith the state’s so-called “2percent tax cap.” There hasbeen much written about thecomplexity of the formula toarrive at the actual cap foreach individual district andit is estimated that the tax capformula — which includesexemptions — could have al-lowed an ILCSD budget to in-crease large enough to haveresulted in a 3.9 percent in-crease in the tax levy.

There was discussionamong the board membersabout the need to explain thebudget increase in the face ofthe misunderstanding in thecommunity regarding the in-tricacies of the cap formula.

Harrington noted thatmany good articles have beenwritten that explained theseintricacies and helped mem-bers of the community betterunderstand the true natureand application of the cap.

With this board adoption,the budget will be sent to thevoters, who last year ap-proved a $5.78 million 2011-2012 budget representing adecrease of 0.34 percent fromthe previous year ’s budget.

Other businessIn covering other subjects,

Principal David Snide toldboard members that ILCS hasbeen awarded the status of

being an Essential ElementsSchools to Watch by the NewYork State Education De-partment. There are only 18schools so awarded this sta-tus in the state of New York.

Among, other business,the board reviewed and ap-proved bids for the upcom-ing construction project. Ad-ditional discussion sur-rounded the use of a smallergenerator available from theWater Plant project as ameans of garnering somesavings in the project. Theboard also emphasized theimportance of moving for-ward given the timing need-ed for the project’s physicalcommencement and comple-tion.

NORTH CREEK — A ceremony hon-oring a local 9-year-old this weekendwill be among the several eventsplanned at the North Creek VolunteerFire Company this spring.

Fire Company Chief Steve Studnickysaid that Matthew Richards, 9, of NorthCreek, will be given a commendation atnoon Saturday, March 24 at the fire-house for his assistance in November2011, when he called 911 to help hisgrandfather, Brian Richards Sr., a long-time member of the fire company whodied shortly afterward.

“We have to let the kids know of theimportant job Matthew did,”Studnicky said.

Richards, his family, firefighters, andtown and county representatives are

expected to be in attendance.North Creek Fire Company officials

will also be starting a new group of Ex-plorers, which is a coeducational affil-iate of Boy Scouts that engages teensage 12-20 in fire or police departments.Fire officials failed to launch a post lastyear, but there has been renewed inter-est, according to Studnicky. The fire-house will host an open house pizzaparty/movie night Friday, April 20 forteens interested in learning more aboutthe Explorers.

With an aging group of firefighters,“We really have to get renewed interestin the fire department,” Studnickysaid.

That same weekend, the firehousewill be hosting its annual Recruit NewYork open house from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,Saturday and Sunday, April 21-22. Re-cruit New York is a program designedby the Firemen’s Association of the

State of New York to attract new mem-bers to fire departments throughoutthe state. The North Creek Fire Compa-ny will have refreshments and equip-ment demonstrations throughout theweekend.

Studnicky said members recentlychanged the name of the fire compa-ny’s “Auxiliary” to “Support Team” toattract both men and women to this im-portant volunteer corps, which sup-ports the firefighters in a number ofways, from fixing and delivering foodduring major fires to helping withfundraising. In many places, an auxil-iary consists of only women.

This is a busy spring for the NorthCreek Fire Company, but a good kindof busy, as opposed to last year ’srecord-breaking rain events.

“Thankfully, it’s busier for a differ-ent reason other than ice jams andflooding,” Studnicky said.

News Enterprise Editorial

There was a time in thisland when people workedhard, sacrificed and set

things aside to make life betterfor the next generation. Our par-ents and grandparents and forefa-thers wanted us to have every ad-vantage possible to live in thisland of freedom with abundantopportunity. Their work ethic andfrugal ways set the stage for ournation, the most prosperous inthe world. They did everythingpossible to secure our future.They were the greatest generation.

Will we pass along those same values to ourchildren and grandchildren? Will they enjoy alifestyle better than we had? Will we give thema country better off than we were handed, aworld more stable, resources more abundant,the opportunity to dream even bigger dreams?Or will they spend their lives paying for ourexcesses, mistakes, complacency, and lack ofconcern for their futures?

It seems that the pendulum has swung awayfrom the values our parents and their parentsonce embraced. We, in turn, are saddling ourkids and their children with debt. And worse,the values we are sharing with them are valuesof indulgence and greed, when faced withtough choices to take the easier path. We arebecoming a nation of selfishness, entitlementsand excessiveness.

The examples are everywhere. Look no fur-ther than our political system and money thatwill be spent in the upcoming elections or thefact that our government hasn’t passed a budg-et in three years and they certainly aren’t likelyto have one this year during an election cycle.Look at the obesity rate in this country, thetypes of food we are eating, and the decline inthe number of family farms that have disap-peared across the land. The federal governmentis even considering new labor laws that couldprohibit or seriously limit 4-H and FFA mem-bers from working on farms and doing many ofthe jobs that are common practice and taken forgranted when you grow up on a farm. It willalso affect other farm kids, such as neighbors,grandchildren, and other relatives who wouldnot be allowed to help with many farm taskswhen they come to visit or just help out on thefarm. Good old fashion hard work isn’t undig-nified; it builds character, appreciation and selfrespect.

We’ve become addicted to a lifestyle we can’tafford financially or from a productivity stand

point. Consider the long lines tobuy the newest technology likethe new iPad 3 launched lastweek. I doubt most of those inline didn’t already own an iPad 2or iPhone but had to be one of thefirst to get the newest technology.

According to a recent survey,about 20 percent of the time wenow spend in bed is spent in thecompany of an electronic devise.More than likely, much of thattime is spent telling the worldwhat we are doing, feeling and

thinking, while reading and watching whatothers are thinking, doing and feeling minuteby minute. I’ve nothing against social media,but where exactly is it leading us and what is itteaching us?

When you look at other social indicators likeschool grades, dropout rates, literacy issues,single parent households, divorce rates, the de-cline of religion, the proliferation of sex, the in-crease in violence, poverty, suicides among theyoung and drug usage in the U.S. now estimat-ed to consume over 60 percent of the world’sdrugs, doesn’t it seem clear that our nation hasserious issues that are only getting worse? Oneof the major discussions going on today relatesto the health coverage for women’s contracep-tives. Not that many years ago, if you went andask your parents to pay for your prophylactics,you would have been severely punished. Nowwe want society to pay for them as opposed torestraint and personal responsibility.

Those who came before us had it prettytough compared to today’s standards. Much oftheir time was spent surviving, keeping a roofover their heads, clothes on their backs, search-ing for food or preparing their food. As thegenerations progressed and technology im-proved, those tasks were simplified. But willthat simplification lead to a better society or toa society that goes the way of many other soci-eties that came long before and lost their way?We know that the body requires good healthyfood, regular exercise and discipline to avoidthings like drugs, smoking, and alcohol in or-der to stay fit for life. Will our current behaviorlead us down a path of continued indulgence orwill we recognize that some changes need to beaddressed soon before they become irre-versible? I think we need to see the writing onthe wall soon …very soon.

We need a course adjustment

Congressman Bill Owens,speaking recently in hishometown of Plattsburgh,

said ideology prevents progress inWashington, D.C.

The Republicans think they areright. The Democrats believe theyare right. They each believe theother party is wrong, and that ap-pears to be it ... period.

In fact, it seems as though it ismore important to be right and tofurther certain ideological stancesthan to embrace reform andprogress, especially if it comesfrom the wrong side of the aisle.

This refusal to work together isactually nothing new in politics,though considering the state ofthe nation, it is becoming increas-ingly frustrating and pathetic.

Consider the number of unin-sured in the United States.

President Obama started outfighting for universal health carebefore settling for somethingmuch less and more problematic.Now one does not have to agreewith the president's plight to ad-mit that the current state of healthcare in the country is a mess. Be-yond the number of uninsured,those who have insurance avail-able to them often cannot afford it,and while medicaid is available tothe poor, finding doctors who ac-cept it is a near impossible task,not to mention the difficulties thatarise pertaining to what will andwill not be covered.

Then there is public education.The task of educating children

has been growing increasinglymore difficult over the past fewyears as aid shrinks and costssoar. Plus, taxpayers have beenpushed to their limits, so schoolshave nowhere to turn to for rev-enue.

As a result, school districtsthroughout the North Country

and across the nation have beeneliminating jobs and makingpainful cuts to programs, if notaxing them altogether. In fact,many districts have done awaywith athletics, arts, extra-curricu-lars, programs for at-risk studentsand advanced classes for giftedstudents.

And this mess is merely in itsinfancy, because next year and theyear after will likely be worse.

New York lawmakers claim theyare becoming a model for the restof the nation due to their biparti-san efforts ever since Gov. AndrewCuomo took office.

Frankly, it's too early to tell, es-pecially when this latest dose ofso-called pension reform inspiredequal cries of condemnation andcelebration in a deal that appearsto have partly been about bolster-ing legislators’ chances at re-elec-tion in the way of redistricting.

But what can be certain is that,given the current state of the na-tion in the wake of the Great Re-cession, the public cannot affordfor lawmaker squabbling, egosand ideology to get in the way ofmuch needed relief.

It is not a matter of who is rightor wrong. It is a matter of what isright, for everyone.

Istepped out of the IndianLake Theater, to the nightair of March. I was smiling.

The movie, "The Artist," is awonderful movie with an oldtime styled/silent images of thepast that mixed a lot of moderntechnology into a thing of beau-ty. As I walked home, I realizedthe same could be said about theTown of Indian Lake.

The Indian Lake Theater is agood example of that. You know— when you are in that theater— the ambiance has a lot to dowith history, yet at the same timethe sound system and some ofthe projectors are modern, all

updated in the last few years.The theater is a fine mix of

what makes Indian Lake a greattown. Like so many things intown you have a combination ofthe glory of the past and thetechnology of today. It issymbolic of how the town is fo-cused on the future, without for-getting where we came from.

The Theater has been a greatfriend in the community. In fact,in a couple weeks there will be afree private screening of "Hugo"for students of Indian Lake Cen-tral School and Newcomb Cen-tral School who read 1,000 pagesfor the March Reading Chal-lenge.

Yet another example of a com-munity working to improve isthe three-part series of businessseminars coming to Indian Lake.

All three seminars are exam-ples of the town pulling togeth-er on a path to tomorrow andwill be sponsored by the IndianLake Chamber of Commerce, In-dian Lake Community PlanningCommittee and Indian LakeCentral School.

The first one, Small BusinessBasics, takes place Tuesday,

April 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. KarenStehlin, Regional Director,North Country Small BusinessDevelopment Center, SUNYPlattsburgh, will lead attendeesin an understanding of the re-wards, opportunities and chal-lenges of being a business own-er. This is perfect for anyone —regardless of where you live —that has an idea to add to theeconomy of our area. Contact thechamber to reserve your spot.([email protected] or 518/648-5112).

Think of Small Business Basicsas a seminar to answer any ques-tions you may have about start-ing a business. Now anyone whohas ever thought of being an en-terprising entrepreneur can getthe answers. You might not beSteve Jobs, but you can createyour own career.

The follow up seminar will beMy Small Business 101. Thistwo-session class (May 12 and19) will be presented by MarcCompeau, EntrepreneurshipCenter, Clarkson University.Participants will gain practicalknowledge and skills that can beimmediately applied to their

businesses. They’ll also learnhow to define longer-term goals,focus on growth in key areas andlearn useful information, toolsand resources.

Registration for My SmallBusiness 101 is $60 per person.Pre-registration is essential.Please register no later than May4, by calling Clarkson Universi-ty at (315) 268-3995.

The first two seminars will getthe prospective business ownerstarted, but very few people canfinance an enterprise with theirgood looks. While it is a commonbelief that people who live in thehamlets of Indian Lake are 2.7percent more attractive than av-erage — you still need somegreenbacks to get started. Thechamber is already on that with:Show Me the Money! The work-shop is structured to introduceentrepreneurs and small busi-ness owners to available finan-cial assistance for their businessendeavors. Representativesfrom additional financial organ-izations will be present to coun-cil attendees on where fundingsources may be found and theprocess necessary to get them.

March is here — the month whenwe celebrate St. Patrick’s Day— the month when lep-

rechauns do their thing. I know that someof the good leprechauns are gainfully em-ployed as bakers in the Keebler Kitchens.

March is also when the Girl ScoutCookies are delivered. I have a theorythat some of the more mischievous lep-rechauns have defected to the GSA. Mylogic here is that some of those cookiesare so good they are positively addictive.

I must admit to having a pre-existingpenchant for snacks. I’m the one whoused to inhale a whole stack of Ritz crack-ers, washed down with milk. I couldn’tstop until they were all gone. But I’velicked that problem by staying out of thecracker aisle at the GU.

Girl Scout Cookies are a different mat-ter. Who can turn away a sweet Scout whoraps on the door selling her wares? Thenthere are the younger sisters, the Brown-ies, and the even younger Daisies. I’mjust a girl who can’t say “NO.”

So I order several boxes with the inten-tion of mailing them to my grown chil-dren. When they are delivered I pop themstraight into the freezer. But, you know,those thin mints taste quite good frozen.My personal favorites are the Samoaswhich look a lot like Keebler cookies buttaste ever so much better.

It’s a conspiracy. Those mischievousleprechauns are slipping something intothe batter that makes the end product im-possible to resist. The only saving graceis they come in small packages.

Wow! Spring has arrived butthink we have had spring-like weather for a long time.

What does this mean about April? Will weget spring showers or snowstorms?

Bakers Mills sure did have a bad stormon Monday with lots of thunder andlightning and hail. More work for theroad crews. Fixing washouts.

I was so surprised when I picked up mymail one day last week and found a notefrom someone I met in Germany 43 yearsago. I found her old address and took achance. WOW! Alonzo and Johnny Leehad played together that many years ago.Always good to find ages ago friends.

Samantha Cleveland and daughter,Sierra enjoyed going to hear Joel Olstenon Friday night. The news said it was thebiggest crowd they had ever had.

Dale Warrington is home from AlbanyMed. Hospital and gaining each day.

I took my Dad, Earl Allen, to Edinburgon Thursday to visit Guy and DorothyEdwards. Such a great visit but sad tohear more about the death of Jay Ed-wards. The maple syrup isn't doing thatgood but they had made about 800 gal-lons thus far. Dad and I ate at the Four-Corner Diner before heading home.

Hope you had a great St. Paddy's daywith corned beef and cabbage. A traditionwe carry from Ireland.

Happy Birthday to: Michael Allen,Debby Leigh, Sierra Dunkley, Ginny Dal-aba, TJ Millingon, Diane Cleveland, Ash-ley Morse, Scott Kramar, Derrick Hobbs,Avis Hitchcock, Pat Porter.

Hester's History (cont.)It was a large three story house with a

good cellar underneath having doublewalls; and some windows in the cellarwalls. A deep well was in the corner of thecellar; which a hand pump was used forseveral years to bring the water into thekitchen. There was a spacious attic wherewe slept considerably as the upstairs wasused for church. Many wooden seats hadbeen made for the church services.

There was a good sized kitchen anddining room and a parlor, a bedroom anda hall on the first floor. One winter a ladyminister and her two daughters and theirchildren lived in the living room and myfather and my mother, sisters and I livedn the cellar ( or basement). There was thelady minister and her daughter, AliceShaw with three children. The husbandwas not there, only part time. The minis-ter, Addie L. Ovitt lived with Alice andthe three children. One was a baby. Some-times Newton Ovitt, the husband of Ad-die L. Ovitt, was there and sometimes hewas else where. The deaf and dumb Effiewas married to Warren Palmer and theyhad 4 children. They lived in one part ofthe house. Today I correspond with theoldest girl, the daughter of Effie and War-ren, named Ruth Palmer Rozell Sr.

Hoffman Notch planfrom page 1

Some of the major proposals in the draft UMP include:

Fisheries•Reduce the distribution of nonnative and

native‐but‐widely‐introduced fish species, and increase theabundance of the depressed native brook trout. This will in-clude reclaiming Marion Pond.

•Restore a native fish community in Marion Pond throughreclamation.

•Manage one pond (Marion) as an Adirondack brook troutpond, and one pond (Bailey) as a Coldwater pond.

•Manage two ponds (Big and North) as Warmwaterponds.

•And assess North Pond as a potential reclamation candi-date to restore a native fish community there.

Group size•Adopt regulations to limit the maximum number of

overnight users to groups of eight. This will be implement-ed over a two-year period.

•Adopt regulations to limit the size of day use groups toa maximum of 15 persons per party. This will be implement-ed over a two-year period.

CampsitesThere are no designated primitive campsites located in

this unit. There are numerous fire rings: three on North Pondand one each on Bailey Pond, Big Marsh, Tyrrell Marsh, BigPond, Marion Pond and one in Hoffman Notch located most-ly on the larger bodies of water where people have camped.

•Due to the absence of any designated tent sites in theunit, two tent sites will be designated at Big Pond.

•Designate and develop a tent site at Bailey Pond with ac-cessibility in mind. Level / hardened site with accessible firering and accessible Privy.

•Construct a lean‐to in the vicinity of Platt Brook alongthe 4‐mile new trail segment.

•Designate one campsite on North Pond•Install accessible box privy at all designated tent sites

and lean‐to.

TrailheadsThe HNWA is served by six public entry points, five of

which are considered developed, as a parking area is avail-able at that location. One additional trailhead / parking areais planned for the northwest portion of the unit along theBlue Ridge Rd.

•Replace privy at Lock Muller Trailhead with accessibleprivy.

•Increase the size of the Big Pond Trailhead parking byone to two vehicle spaces.

•Construct a three- to four-car parking lot in existingdriveway along Blue Ridge Road Access point #7 near north-west corner of the unit and construct associated unmarkedpath approximately 1 mile in length with associated two- tothree-log bridge along private land boundary to link up withold road access to Durgin Farm. This would provide a muchneeded access to the Northwest corner of the Hoffman NotchWilderness.

•Construct a five‐car parking area at the Hoffman NotchTrailhead on the Blue Ridge Road.

Indian Lake Central School astate, national School to Watch

INDIAN LAKE — Indian Lake Central School Districtwas one of 18 schools in New York State designated as anEssentialElements Schools to Watch from the New YorkState Department of Education and the Essential ElementsSchool to Watch leadership team.

Indian Lake School Superintendent Mark Brand said,“Not only are we a school to watch, Indian Lake is the firstprekindergarten-12, single building, small rural schooldistrict to ever achieve this prestigious recognition. Ourstaff has worked diligently with the intention of reachingthis goal.”

This designation was given to Indian Lake for its intel-lectual, academic, personal and social development ofmiddle-level school students.

Indian Lake has developed a model educational pro-gram in New York State that is consistent with the RegentsPolicy Statement on Middle Level Education, the Essen-tial Elements of a Standards Focused Middle Level School,and the National Forum’s Schools to Watch criteria. Fromtheir successful endeavors, Indian Lake Central Schoolhas been recognized as a State and National School toWatch.

Indian Lake School will be honored at the NationalSchools to Watch Conference in Washington, D.C. in June,and recognized at the New York State Middle SchoolsConference in the fall.

Donegal beardfrom page 1

championship Donegal.Todd Utley also didn’t cultivate a bumper crop this win-

ter. He came out for his second year, and though his beardwasn’t as impressive as some of the competition, Utleysaid it’s the good-time atmosphere that gets him involved.

“Just ’cause I can’t grow it doesn’t mean I can’t showit,” he said.

J.K. Camp was enjoying a brew on the patio next to Ut-ley. He’s come every year, and called himself the OriginalDonegal. He placed second in the first year of competi-tion.

Camp looked at a burly, black-bearded man next to himand marveled, “It’s like a bear parked on his face.”

The bear-faced fellow didn’t want to disclose his realname, confiding that he wasn’t supposed to be at the cel-ebration.

He decided to compete as Mantis Toboggan, though hewas despondent on his chances. He placed second the lasttwo years running despite his wiry, Wooly-Willy beard.This year, he won the contest.

“I refuse to wear a costume, that’s why,” said Tobog-gan. “It’s the man that makes the beard, not the costume.”

The entrants lined up just outside the barroom, and pa-raded into the building one by one while the announcersemceeing the event were drowned out by the exuberantonlookers.

Strutting into the bar from the patio, Dan Pratt, who fin-ished in second place, got loud cheers from the ladies inthe audience. The bear-faced Toboggan’s fans were moredeep-throated, as the fellows in the audience cheered onthe manly beard.

In a quieter costume than Meehan’s leprechaun, JackLeggett placed third, taking the victory for style. He saidhe scavenged much of his apparel from the thrift shop atthe town dump.

Judge Lindsey Duval said it was really tough to pick outa victor, but fullness was the deciding factor this year.

Second at third places earned some novelty shirts andgift cards for the restaurants, and the best-bearded Tobog-gan took home the coveted bottle of Jameson.

“Everybody saw through the gimmick,” said Toboggan,who displayed his Irish trophy proudly, “and saw thebeard for what it was.”

maintenance benefits of opening the tracks to freight cus-tomers.

The train would take heavy trucks off the roads in asparsely populated region where road maintenance is ex-pensive and frequent. It would also replace several dieseltruck engines with one train engine, reducing noise, pol-lution and dust.

The DEC has plans to create a community-connectingsnowmobile trail, and Iowa Pacific has promised to helpmake that a reality. The trains won't run along the rail linein the winter, so the rail company will make the bed avail-able to white-season off-roaders.

Longer term, Iowa Pacific won't stand in the way ofturning the rail bed into a pedestrian trail once its busi-ness there is done.

U.S. Sen. Kristen Gillibrand also supported the rail line,citing the same reasons of job creation, highway traffic re-duction and environmental impact.

Alongside Gillibrand's letter, Iowa Pacific AttorneyJohn Heffner wrote that the project is overwhelminglysupported by local organizations and officials. Now thatthe DEC is on board, Protect the Adirondacks! is the onlymajor protestor of the project, he wrote.

The Surface Transportation Board, which regulates railuse, denied an exemption request by Iowa Pacific to filean application for common carrier status along the line.That status would allow the railroad to carry freight forcompanies besides NL Industries, the owner of theTahawus mine, and make the rail refurbishment invest-ment more appealing.

MINERVA — There were feet, indeed, and a Hamlet-likecharacter who was actually a podiatrist with a conscienceand a nosy & nagging mother. There was a sleep-deprivedfactory owner, a friendless cupcake-bearer, and a womanwho believed herself to be a chicken. Where were these folksto be found and what the heck were they doing?

On March 10, these interesting characters (who also dou-ble as students at Minerva Central School) could be found atHudson Falls High School, often roaming the hallways andsettling within classrooms, the auditorium, cafeteria, andgymnasium, along with hundreds of other no less puzzlingfolks.

The event was the annual regional Odyssey of the Mindcompetition, coordinated by the Washington-Saratoga-War-ren-Hamilton-Essex BOCES.

Odyssey of the Mind is a creative problem-solving com-petition for students from kindergarten through elementary,middle school, high school and college-age levels. Teams ofstudents (with no more than seven on a team) decide on aproblem to solve, create a solution, and then present this so-lution at a judged competition after months of preparation.Students primarily have fun while learning problem-solvingtechniques that are creative and very imaginative. Theyidentify challenges and then think creatively to solve thoseproblems, skills that will stay with them.

Coached by Sue Montgomery Corey, a veteran of Odysseyof the Mind competitions, 11 students made the trip via MCSschool bus, ably driven by Bev West. Montgomery Corey’sDivision Two team was composed of six kids, includingShane Bush-Lancaster, Kaleb Davie, Meghan Dunkley, BlakePiper, Ryan Tucker, and Amber Vanderwarker. Their prob-lem, called “Odyssey Angels,” involved the travel of stu-dents (“angels”) through a created community where theychange negative situations into positives ones, helping

needy individuals along the way while bailing out the com-munity. The Division Three team (Shasti Conlon, Toni Dun-bar, Aleynah Gardinier, Dustin Griffin, and Serena Ruzbac-ki) tackled the “To Be or Not to Be” problem. Here, an orig-inal Hamlet character faces a team-created conundrum, tak-ing the easy way out and discovering that it was the wrongchoice; as part of the solution, musical theatre comes intoplay.

It was a great day in Hudson Falls. Even though the Min-erva students will not be making the trip to Binghamton forthe NYS finals competition (neither team came in first intheir respective divisions), it was a great experience for all.

Organizers thanked the custodial staff of Minerva CentralSchool and MCS Art teacher Janelle Meyer, who kindly of-fered up the art room for use by the two teams as they cre-ated all their costumes and props, plus parents, guardians,and friends who provided support to these students.

MINERVA—The Minerva Central SchoolBoard met Thursday, March 8 to discusstheir 2012-13 budget.

The board considered some ways to helpthe community make sense of the role oftax policies and rates in school budgeting.Of particular concern was the new tax levywhich is proposed to increase by $92,441(2.96) percent over the current levy of$3,118,040.

The 2011-12 budget totals $4,986,001,and the proposed 2012-13 budget would be$5,040,939.

Board members said they want residentsto have a clear understanding of how theyarrived at the increase of 2.96 percent.

Board member Jeffery Eager suggestedcreating a simplified document or chart toexplain some of the more technical ele-ments in the new budget and tax levyworksheet. In addition, he pointed out thatschools like Minerva that have “cut low allalong and have no extravagances” find

themselves in a difficult situation whenthey have to face decreased funding com-pared to schools that have regularly in-creased their education budgets and schooltaxes. While these schools can more easilymake cuts, the Minerva budget has very lit-tle room for reductions, said Eager.

Superintendent Timothy Farrell agreedthat they had to work hard to meet theirbudget goals. He said one of the majorgoals throughout the budget process hasbeen to hold onto as much of the education-al program as possible without having toask taxpayers to exceed the maximum al-lowable tax levy. He also pointed out thattax increases in previous years had beenquite low and that the latest increase need-ed to be seen in that context. Even as re-cently as 2011 and 2010, Farrell pointed outthat the tax increases for those years werejust 1.9 and 0.01 percent, respectively.

“We have always done our best to makesure there’s been a minimal increase,” Ea-ger said.

The Minerva School Board will meetagain to discuss the budget at 6 p.m. Thurs-day, March 22.

MCS board tackles budgetBy Phillip [email protected]

MINERVA — At the March15 Minerva Town Boardmeeting, Supervisor SueMontgomery Corey said theOffice of the State Comptrol-ler is granting their requestfor an extension for submit-ting the town budget.

Corey noted that while theextension was for 60 days,they should have the budgetfinalized and ready for sub-mission within a week or so.

During the previous TownBoard meeting, CouncilmanSteven McNally had intro-duced a motion to use$37,600 from the fund bal-ance, in addition to the pay-ments already budgeted, toeliminate the Berkadia Wa-ter Bond Loan. A board ma-jority passed the resolution.However, it was noted thatupon review, the previouslyagreed amount fell short ofthe amount necessary to payoff the loan by $1,150. Themajority of board membersfelt that the additionalamount was small enough

compared to the benefits ofeliminating the debt to justi-fy the added expense. Boardmembers passed a resolu-tion to pay the additionalamount and eliminate theloan.

A discussion for provid-ing chain saw safety trainingfor the Highway Depart-ment staff was continuedfrom the previous meeting.Corey informed the boardthe three out of eight staffmembers had received suchtraining in 2007. However, itwas her recommendationthat everyone should re-ceive the training againsince it is something that“should be redone periodi-cally and that five years wasa reasonable interval be-tween training sessions.”The board unanimously vot-ed to arrange and schedulethe training for both theHighway and Parks staff. Itwas noted that they wouldreceive a discount, paying$95 per person rather thanthe usual $135 due to thesize of the group exceedingeight people. Cornell Coop-

erative Extension will pro-vide the training.

Highway SuperintendentBruce McGinn asked theboard what they had decid-ed about the NorthwoodClub road repair project thatwas brought up at the lastmeeting. He told them thatthe road was the worst intown and is also as frequent-ly used as any other. He alsosaid it was a prominent roadbecause it leads to the BlueBluffs — one of the most vis-ited sites in the Adiron-dacks, where hikers can see300 foot cliffs rising from theHudson River.

A majority of the boardpassed a resolution to beginthe first year of the project-ed three-year project, inwhich $52,700 from the fundbalance would be combinedwith $50,000 of CHIPS mon-ey to grind the road. Duringthe second and third years,the road will be paved usingCHIPS money.

Discussion of the other is-sues raised would continueat the next board meeting,scheduled for April 5.
