By Jonathan Alexander [email protected] LAKE PLACID — During a speech at West Point last week, President Barack Obama an- nounced his plan to send 30,000 more troops to war-torn Afghanistan in an effort to seal vic- tory over Al Qaeda and Taliban forces. The president’s long-awaited speech was met with mixed reviews from politicians and the public alike. Some say Obama’s 18-month timeline for withdrawal should have been left out of the plan; others wanted the U.S. to pull out of Afghanistan altogether. But for some, like Lake Placid native Sean Kane, the president’s address brought a sense of relief – and a sense of purpose. Sean Kane is a captain in the Second Battal- ion 22nd Infantry Regiment, First Brigade Combat Team 10th Mountain Division. He’s already served 15 months in Iraq, and on Mon- day he received his deployment orders. “Now we’re trying to get a finalized time- line for when we actually leave,” he said. “It’s nice to have some resolution.” Kane, 27, is a graduate of Northwood School. He attended St. Lawrence University and enrolled in the Army not long after grad- uation in 2005. Much has been made of Obama’s lengthy decision-making process leading up to Tues- day. But for Kane, the lag time between de- ployments is part of the job. “We were all pretty excited once our brigade was off-ramped from our Iraq commitment; we basically went into a planning and training mode,” he said. “There’s obviously some questions floating around, we were all kind of wondering what was going to happen. But it’s one of those things where when one commit- ment goes away you stand by and wait for something else to come down and until that happens, you enjoy the time you have at home with your family and friends.” On Tuesday, Kane was watching Obama’s speech with some co-workers at his apartment in Watertown. His own reaction to the an- nouncement was mixed. “For me it’s kind of a strange personal feel- ing because you sort of question what’s going to happen,” Kane said. “But up until they give us the go-ahead, you pull yourself out of the situation and not really worry until you hear one way or the other.” And as troops await specific orders, Kane says it’s business as usual at Fort Drum. “We continue to train for overall readiness without any specific mission,” he said. “We make sure everybody is fit and that they’re ready to go.” Some reports indicate that morale at Fort Drum is faltering, but Kane notes that just hav- ing orders is a boost. “It makes things easier when you have an idea of where you’re going to go,” he said. For Kane, the Army is his job. He’s the air planning officer at Fort Drum, and while at home he passes time in his office planning air operations. But the fact that he makes his career serving in the military doesn’t make the reality of fighting in Afghanistan any easier for his par- ents. “From the family side of things, my mom and dad are always concerned,” Kane said. “My younger brother is in the army as well. For parents with two sons in the military, there’s always a question of what’s going to happen next. They start to try and mentally prepare themselves. But I think everyone sort of expected what happened Tuesday night and I don’t think there was anything too surpris- ing.” Sean’s younger brother, Michael Kane, is an infantry officer in the Army and handles lo- gistics for a company 130 strong. Mike served in Iraq as well, and is currently waiting to fin- ish his time in the service. Rob Kane – Sean’s cousin – served two tours in Iraq. He signs out of the Marine Corp next week. All three men grew up and went to school in Lake Placid. The debate over what course to take in Afghanistan will no doubt continue. Politi- cians will argue, the public will speculate, and the rhetoric will pile up. But for Sean Kane and the rest of America’s brave service men and women, there’s a sense of relief in just knowing what’s next.

Fahad Sultan, 23, also known as Nicholas Sultan, was arrested at his Levittown home Dec. 3 and charged with three counts of third-degree criminal sexual act and two counts of third-degree rape; all felony charges. According to police, Sultan, communicated with the victim, a resident of Tupper Lake who is less than 17 years old, via inter- net chat and cell phone conver- sations, during which he agreed to travel to Tupper Lake to meet with the victim. Once in Tupper Lake, Sultan allegedly committed sexual of- fenses against the teen over the course of two days in a nearby motel before returning to his home on Long Island. Reports from the victim led to an investigation by Tupper Lake Village police. Assisted by the New York State Police Computer Crimes Unit, the investigation gathered digital and other evidence relating to the crime. Investigators with the Computer Crime Unit obtained and executed a search warrant for Sultan's residence, vehicle, computer and cell phone to find additional evidence. State Police also arrested Sultan and brought him to Al- bany, where Tupper Lake Village police met them to bring him to Tupper Lake. Sultan was Arraigned in the Village of Tupper Lake Court and remanded to Franklin County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail or $100,000 bond. “I am grateful for the help from the New York State Police Computer Crime Unit for their expertise in the case,” said Tupper Lake Police Chief Thomas Fee in a news release. “And I also want to acknowledge the outstanding work of several of our own officers in connection with this case.” The investigation of the case is ongoing.

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — The Adiron-dack Museum is hoping residents in the Tri-Lakes area can help solve the mystery sur-rounding an old, locally-produced photo-graph.

The late Saranac Lake photographerWilliam F. Kollecker is recognized today asthe most successful and prolific photogra-pher in the village's history. During the ear-ly 20th century, he produced a rich collectionof photographs of the Saranac Lake area,many of which are preserved in the Adiron-dack Collection of the Saranac Lake Free Li-brary.

But one of his images, now in the Adiron-

dack Museum’s collection, is spurring thecuriosity of staff there. The photograph, tak-en in 1935, features four children, but theirnames were not recorded.

The museum is planning to use the photo-graph in advertising for its 2010 Cabin FeverSunday Series, and is aiming to complete thehistorical record connected with it and, ifpossible, learn the names of the children.

If anyone happens to recognize theirmother, grandfather, or even themselves inthe photograph, they are asked to contactSusan Dineen, Director of Marketing forAdirondack Museum at 352-7311, ext. 121 oremail [email protected].

SARANAC LAKE — With enrollment on a perpetual de-cline, Saranac Lake Central School District Athletic DirectorMark Farmer thinks it may be time to start preparing for theinevitable: axing some of the schools many sports teams.

On Wednesday, Farmer petitioned the district’s board ofeducation to create a committee for the pending reductionin offerings. He said it should include the superintendentand several school officials, the chair of the school board andpossibly a citizen representative.

“I would encourage the board to consider how will han-dle that situation so when it comes we do it in a fair and eq-uitable manner,” Farmer said. “To that end, I put togethersome ideas to think about. I am not saying this is the exactway to do it, but we need to think about it in case we haveto put in place.”

He said the committee should consider such variables asa programs cost, its local tradition and the amount of stu-dent involvement. Title IX, which requires equal access tosports between the sexes, would also have to be a primaryconsideration.

Saranac Lake Central School District has nearly a dozendifferent athletic offerings, many of them created in the1990s when enrollment swelled and money was plentiful.

“A lot of our programs were added without much thought

in the 90s,” Farmer said. “It is very possible that we may notbe able to maintain all of them in the very near future.”

Between 1990 and 2007, total public school enrollment inthe park dropped about 20 percent, or 120,000 students.

In the 1990s, Saranac Lake was regularly graduating class-es in excess of 140 students, but now the numbers are typi-cally closer to 90, and are expected to drop even further overthe next five years.

Athletics in the park’s heart have been suffering for adecade. In recent years, Minerva and Newcomb school dis-tricts and Long Lake and Indian Lake school districts havecombined their sports programs just to field teams.

Farmer said that no one athletic program has been partic-ularly hard hit as of yet, but the declining trend is notice-able.

“When you have lower numbers and the same percentageparticipating, that’s when you have declining numbers onteams,” Farmer said. “I don’t want any student or any teamor any parent to not get a fair and objective look. I think thisis a policy that works both ways. In prosperous times andyou are adding programs you want to do it fair and orderlyand when you have to reduce you want it to be done the sameway.”

About 30 percent of the Saranac Lake student body par-ticipated in sports this year. And for Farmer, maintaining theschool’s athletic viability is all about keeping the studentsinterested.

Fitting in not always important

So many young peoplethat I have encoun-tered struggle to “fit

in” or to “be part of thegroup.” Some feel that some-thing is wrong with them orthat they are somehow ab-normal because they are notthe most popular or do nothave lots of friends. A signif-icant flaw is imbedded inthis line of reasoning.

While human beings aresocial animals, we are notpack or herd animals. Wesurvive or fail largely on ourindividual ability and actions for the most part. Humanschoose to be social and function well when they are, andmany function equally well when they keep more to them-selves. Functioning as an extrovert with many social rela-tionships does not necessarily make you any happier or bet-ter off than someone that maintains fewer relationships. Asin almost every relationship, the quality and meaningful-ness of the relationship matters most.

There are many notable examples of individuals that wewould consider isolated loners who accomplished greatthings; Bill Gates and Thomas Edison come to mind. WhenGalileo hypothesized that the earth moved around the sunand not the sun around the earth, he was severely punished.When early scientists explained that the earth was not flatthey were thought to be insane. Almost all independentthinkers offend conventional wisdom. If everyone wilted inthe face of popular opinion or the desire to “fit in,” ourworld would look very different and much less evolved.

Maybe if children were taught at a young age to politelysay “no thanks” sometimes when risky situations arise.They might be empowered to be more dismissive of themean people that they will undoubtedly sometimes en-counter. We spend plenty of time pressuring children to sayyes, to yield to our wishes. If we always expect children toyield to us as adults, we could be making them more vul-nerable to saying yes to situations that maybe damagingphysically, socially and psychologically.

There will always be opportunists that will exploit ayoung person who is almost always willing to please others,even at their own peril. Healthy people allow other peopleto think for themselves, to follow their own ideas and no-tions. Crucial to these assumptions is the right of everyoneelse to do the same. It can be a real epiphany to understandthat each of us controls our thoughts and actions, no oneelse. We cannot control what others do and we cannot con-trol what they think of us.

I am not suggesting carelessness, but rather an adaptiveindifference to that which is unalterable. In other words, ifyou know someone that is a jerk to you, avoid them if possi-ble and if not, dismiss their impact on your life. You dohave control over how you feel. Sometimes it is okay to justsay, “Who cares.” Remember, all kids count.

Yes No

Kids Count By Scot Hurlburt

A pale imitationAcouple of years ago, when I still operated under the

delusion that doing good things for other peoplewas worthwhile, I decided to donate blood to the

Red Cross. I’d considered giving blood before, but my fear ofneedles – and my certainty that I’d faint during or immediate-ly following the blood-letting, thus sullying my image as a lo-cal street tough – had always kept me away.

Why did I finally decide to face my fear and risk humilia-tion? Simple: the money. I assumed that, since I was givingthe Red Cross the gift of my pristine lifeblood, the Red Crosswould give me the gift of its pristine cash – preferably in theform of a crisp 20 passed to me surreptitiously (and with awink) via handshake as I stumbled from the blood-drainingchamber.

But I kid. I knew all I could expect in exchange for my pris-tine lifeblood was a cookie, a cup of orange juice, and the feel-ing that I’d subjected myself to incredible discomfort in orderto help someone in need – and I didn’t particularly care aboutthe cookie or the OJ (okay, I cared about the cookie, but myfeelings toward the OJ were lukewarm at best). In short, mydesire to feel good about myself outweighed my desire toavoid incredible discomfort.

I began my training regimen three months before the blooddrive – and by “began my training regimen” I mean “appliedseveral dozen leeches to my arms and chest and let them feaston my blood for hours at a time.” As I saw it, the leech treat-ment – which had been all the rage during the Middle Ages(also known as “the early 1970s”) – was analogous to trainingfor a marathon by running in the mountains of Kenya. Exceptinstead of improving my endurance, I lost a significantamount of blood.

Still, I entered the lobby of North Country Community Col-lege’s gymnasium, where the blood drive was being held,with the confidence of a lumberjack entering a pancake-eatingcontest. I intended to give more blood in one sitting than any-body ever in the history of Red Cross blood drives – ever.

I knew the medical professionals on hand would initiallypooh-pooh my insistence on donating enough blood to fill achild’s wading pool, but I’d gently shush them, and they’dwatch in wonder as I accomplished my goal. They might even

present me with a ribbon af-terwards.

Head held high, smug grinplastered across my face, Istrode to the registrationtable, took a form, and satdown to fill it out. Everythingwent smoothly until I acci-dentally glanced toward thebasketball court. The doorswere open and I got a clearglimpse of several blooddonors sprawled limply ongurneys, red-stained gauzepads in the crooks of their el-bows, sipping OJ and eating cookies.

My stomach did a double flip and my throat constricted. Itried to continue filling out the registration form, but my vi-sion blurred and I found I couldn’t keep a grip on my pen; ittumbled from my weak, clammy fingers and clattered to thefloor. I stood up and lurched to the registration table, drop-ping my incomplete form before the wide-eyed attendant.

“This isn’t going to work for me,” I gasped. As I fled, myface burning with shame, I hoped everyone in the lobbythought that I’d come down with a spontaneous case of theflu, but I’m pretty sure they thought that I’d come down witha spontaneous case of the shameless cowardice. And theywere right.

But I’m not ashamed of my cowardice anymore. Don’t getme wrong – I greatly respect actual blood donors. Indeed, toregard such masochists with anything but respect is askingfor trouble. Who knows what such selfless do-gooders are ca-pable of? They neither feel pain nor have any sense of self-preservation, willing as they are to let strangers stick themfull of needles and drain gallons of their vital fluids at a time.

Nonetheless, blood-donors make the world a better place,and, deep down, I still aspire to one day join their hallowedranks. What’s the worst that can happen? The nurse gettingdistracted and accidentally draining every drop of blood frommy body, leaving me a “pale imitation” of my former self?Yes, that’s probably the worst that can happen.

If you’ve shopped for groceries at a large supermar-ket, you’ve undoubtedly noticed the long “string” ofcoupons that print out at the register along with your

store receipt. These checkout coupons, or “Catalinas,” ascoupon shoppers commonly call them, are incredibly valu-able to coupon shoppers. (Catalina Marketing Corp. intro-duced the computer system that issues checkout couponsabout 25 years ago, although the company says it’s notsure how or why shoppers picked up on the name.) Ifyou’ve ever taken a look at the kinds of Catalinas thatprint after your shopping trip, you’ll notice that they typi-cally fall into three categories: money-off coupons for spe-cific products, coupons for money off on your next shop-ping trip or alerts of upcoming sales.

A shopper receives money-off Catalinas when the UPCsof certain items in their cart are scanned at checkout time.The register “sees” a certain brand or type of item you arepurchasing and spits out a Catalina that offers a discounton a competing item that you may consider purchasing inthe future. Last week I purchased a certain brand of applejuice and received a $1 checkout coupon for a competitor ’sbrand of apple juice. You may even receive a coupon for afree item! Just in the last month, I bought one variety ofpet treats and received a coupon for a free package oftreats from a competing brand. A couple of weeks later, Ibought one brand of yogurt and received a Catalina for afree 4-pack of a competitor ’s brand of yogurt.

The second type of Catalina is issued during a generalmoney-back sale at the store. You may see a store ad thatstates, “Buy any 10 products in this group and receive $10off your next order.” That $10 savings comes in the form ofa checkout coupon good for $10 off your next shoppingtrip. The discount is good on anything in the store. It’s justlike having $10 cash to spend.

The third kind of checkout coupon is an “alert.” Thesecoupon alerts aren’t technically coupons, since they don’t

offer money off anything inparticular, but they do con-tain details of an upcomingsale at the store. These “se-cret” sales are typically notadvertised in any of thestore’s flyers, so thesecheckout alerts are the onlyway shoppers can get in onthe savings.

Unfortunately, manyshoppers consistently over-look the value of checkoutcoupons. It’s true that carry-ing a long, somewhat cum-bersome ticker-tape ofCatalinas with your receipt as you exit the store can be amild annoyance. But the value of all three of these vari-eties of coupon cannot be overstated. They’re all impor-tant, and you should save them all. I certainly do!

Just as we save all of our coupons that come in thenewspaper, even the ones for things we think we may notbuy, saving all of our Catalina coupons ensures that we’llhave them on hand in case those items go on sale too. Al-most two months ago, I received three $1 coupons for asmoothie beverage that I’d never tried before. Even thoughthis is a product I wasn’t terribly interested in purchasing,I held onto the Catalina coupons. A few weeks ago, just be-fore those coupons were due to expire … the smoothieswent on sale for $1. Because I’d saved my Catalinas, now Igot three of them for free!

Shallow The

During the summer, I can spend hours just lookingat a garden alive with butterflies, birds, bees, andblossoms. But, up here, it seems like the time to en-

joy the blossoms is so short compared to the time the gardenis empty of plants and pollinators.

Despite the lack of actively growing plants, there is stillplenty to do in the garden. If you have a vegetable garden,now is the time to make sure all the garden debris is rakedup and the garden is put to bed.

It’s important to clean up all the dead foliage every fall,because garden pests and plant diseases can overwinter ingarden debris and cause problems in the garden next year.

If you had early blight or powdery mildew this season, besure to be thorough with fall garden clean-up. These stepsalso help to prevent viruses, thrips, and problem beetles(such as potato beetles and flea beetles):

Start by pulling up all the plants and weeds in the garden.Get the roots and all. Then shred and compost any healthyplant material. The weeds and diseased plants should bebagged and disposed of in the garbage. Rake up all the re-maining plant debris.

Next, rake up any fallentree leaves from your lawnarea or if you don’t haveleaves in your lawn, snagsome of your neighbor ’sleaves. Run the leaves overwith a mulching lawnmowerand add them to the gardenbed. In the spring, turn or tillthe remaining leaves into thesoil to improve your gardensfertility.

It really is amazing how alittle extra time spend clean-ing up the garden now, willmake for a healthier garden next year!

WILMINGTON — TheWhiteface Community Unit-ed Methodist Church inWilmington will be trans-formed into a far away Scan-dinavian garden, monestary,and mysterious forest whenMartha Gallagher, TheAdirondack Harper, per-forms her concert, “TheChristmas Rose,” on Friday,Dec.11.

With Celtic harp in hand,Gallagher tells this unusualstory through original musicand spoken word, weavingtogether song and story, mu-sic and legend.

The concert is inspired by“The Legend of the Christ-mas Rose,” a story writtenby Sweden’s Selma Lagerlof,1909 Nobel recipient for Lit-erature.

“My imagination was cap-tured by this story the veryfirst time I heard it, read bya Viking descendant by thelight of the real candles thatburned on his Christmas treeon a snowy winter nightmany years ago,” said Gal-lagher.

The Scandinavian storytakes place in a monestarygarden, a poor village, and adeep, dark northern forest.It features thieves, monks,robber women, herbs, wildanimals — and wilder chil-dren — all tied up in an il-lustrious tale of danger,faith, mistrust, love and mir-acles.

“The tale is unusual, cap-tivating and perfect for thedarkest time of the year,”said Gallagher, “when light

and miracles aboundthroughout the many cele-brations and traditions ofthe season.”

“Although its basis is inChristian beliefs, the mira-cles of the heart; the “heart”of the story, transcend anyone religion, making it a uni-versal tale of faith, joy, hopeand love,” she added.

Gallagher has been shar-ing her spirited, distinctive,and richly varied music withaudiences for over 30 years.Known in the northeasternregion of New York, where

she makes her home as TheAdirondack Harper, she hasperformed with such lumi-naries as six-time Grammywinners, The Chieftains. Herextensive solo tours havetaken her around the US andinto Canada, with severaltours sponsored by The Na-tional Endowment for theArts. She has been featuredon numerous television andradio programs; most recentappearances include BBCTelevision, Northeast PublicRadio, and Good MorningArizona.

The concert is suitable foradults and older children,but it is not intended for theattention span of young chil-dren, said Gallagher.

The concert begins at 7p.m. The church is located at1169 Haselton Rd., Wilming-ton, NY; suggested donationis $10. For more informa-tion on the concert, call 946-7757. For more informationon Martha Gallagher, visitwww.adkharper.com.

RAY BROOK — Adiron-dack Park Agency ChairmanCurt Stiles and Executive Di-rector Terry Martino have an-nounced that ElizabethPhillips, Esq. will join theAdirondack Park Agency as aSenior Attorney in the LegalDivision, effective Dec. 16.

“The Agency is verypleased that Ms. Phillips willjoin our legal division,” saidStiles. “Her extensive experi-ence in land use administra-tive and environmental lawwill ensure an efficient transi-tion into the APA and result inpositive impacts for theAdirondack Park.”

Attorney vacancy,” said Mar-tino. “Ms. Phillips’s experi-ences, background and edu-cation exceeded our qualifi-cations and we are extremelyfortunate to welcome heraboard. This move was an im-portant component of ongo-ing restructuring within thelegal division in anticipationof significant turnover in thecoming years.”

clients on administrative andbusiness law.

“During the interviewprocess it became clear thatMs. Phillips had a real sensi-tivity to the unique issues thatface communities located inproximity to wilderness landsand rural landscapes,” saidMartino. “We believe thiswill work in the best interestof all the Park’s stakehold-ers.”

Most recently, Phillips wasemployed with the NYS De-partment of Motor Vehicles,where she conducted civil ad-ministrative hearings involv-ing various aspects of the Ve-hicle and Traffic Law. Prior toDMV, she was a staff attorneyin the law firm Boies, Schiller,and Flexner, LLP, located in
