Christie, Clinton Early Frontrunners for 2016 NH Primary
But with the primary still three years away, most New Hampshire voters are understandably still undecided.
OUTSIDE MANCHESTER, NH -- Hillary Clinton is the heavy favorite among New Hampshire Democrats for the 2016 New Hampshire Primary, while no one in the Republican field has yet to separate from the pack.
Yes, it's still three years before the 2016 Primary, but a WMUR/University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll released Thursday night shows that Clinton is the prohibitive favorite among Granite State Democrats. The poll surveyed 581 New Hampshire residents.
A whopping 63 percent of Democratic voters said they plan to vote for Clinton, compared to 10 percent for Vice President Joe Biden, 5 percent for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and 2 percent for Newark, N.J. Mayor Cory Booker.
Biden made numerous stops in New Hampshire last year, campaigning for President Barack Obama. Booker also campaigned for Obama in New Hampshire.
On the Republican side, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie received the most support, with 14 percent of likely Republican Primary voters saying they would vote for him. Twelve percent said they'd vote for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, 11 percent said they'd vote for Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, 10 percent picked New Hampshire's own Sen. Kelly Ayotte, 8 percent picked Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, and 8 percent picked former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.
Others receiving votes included former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (3 percent), former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (3 percent), Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (3 percent) and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (2 percent).
Both Huntsman and Santorum ran in the 2012 New Hampshire Primary, and many others – including Christie, Walker and Rubio – spent time in the state campaigning for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Ryan also made several visits to the Granite State in his role as Romney's running mate.
Worth noting is that 82 percent of Democrats and 88 percent of Republicans surveyed said they have yet to make up their minds about who they will support in 2016.

Ms. Clinton is a committed liar - if that wasn't clear from her years in Little Rock, it was made clear from her co-presidency with her convicted philandering husband. More recently, her shamless lies about the attack in Benghazi, which resulted in the murder of several Americans, was despicable. I pray there are enough intelligent and fair minded Americans left to prevent Ms. Clinton to ascend to the throne being built by Mr. Obama. We forcibly broke from tyranny to form the United States, let's hope it does not come to that again.
2:43 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
From your comment, it really sounds like you think you're one of those "fair-minded" people. You couldn't hold a candle to Mrs. Clinton.
1:44 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Ms. Clinton has too many health issues and could not withstand the stress of the presidency. The media will cover up all of her questionable activities. Besides, with Obama in office, we may not be allowed to vote in 2016. He'll have his thugs trying to intimidate people at the polls ala Philly. He already is allowing voting from the internet and beyond the grave.
10:46 am on Sunday, February 17, 2013
I believe it was the Republican party that was trying to keep people from voting. And while I think Christie is doing a good job with the whole Sandy mess and have no problem with his, shall we say "outspokenness" when it comes to that situation, I shudder to think of the things that might come out of his mouth when dealling with foreign affairs.

Kinda makes you wonder why Obama's government is stock piling ammo. . . . .
2:30 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
well,then,Johnny Boy,you;d better stockpile some of your own!And don't forget that tin foil hat!
10:07 am on Friday, February 22, 2013
Mary, can we can it with the tired old "Tin Foil Hat" joke. It was worn out years ago.
3:22 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
GJC -As far as Ms. Clinton being a liar - you are right - there's no one better. Instead of name calling, which is never effective argument, please deal with the facts. The "lost billing" records, her miraculous strock market profit, and her lies about the terrorist attack in Behghazi and covering up the murder of an American diplomat there- those are all facts (and just some examples). I take it that's what you stand for instead of the truth.
3:30 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Instead of name-calling??? And exactly what do you think you were doing when you called Mrs. Clinton a liar and painted an ugly picture of one of the finest Secretary of States that America has ever had? Mr. Clinton's extra-marital affair is not Mrs. Clinton's fault. And when GWB owns up to his nuclear Iran and Iraq scenarios as well as killing 4,000 American soldiers than you can start beating up on Mrs. CXlinton for the 4 deaths in Benghazi. Oh yeah, and let's not forget the illegal wire-tapping and torture (against the Geneva Convention rules) while you're at it. Until then, I suggest that you go bury your head in the sand somewhere.
James D'Monquay
3:30 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Well, Marylou - try picking up a news paper and read the news (assuming you can)- why IS the government stockpiling ammo? I just asked the question, which you've shown you can't answer - yet have some idiotic opinion. Typical liberal, Obama groupy response.
3:36 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Oh and by the way, if Mrs. Clinton chooses to run for President, she will win her Party's nomination as well as the general election hands down if for no other reason than she is a terrific candidate and the Republicans will never learn.
3:42 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Such unwarranted vitriol GJC and a nice try at changing the subject. Now, how about Ms. Clinton and the facts and, yes, her lies. Facts are stubborn things. Your shouting down the facts and personal attacks are well, sad. You're either for the truth or not - just make that choice as loud as your personal attacks.
4:33 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
No so-called negative "facts" have been proven against Mrs. Clinton. The subject was Mrs. Clinton and a 2016 run for the Presidency. I stayed on topic plus answered your derogatory comments aginst her. Nice try though Pub
10:19 am on Sunday, February 17, 2013
I didn't say that they weren't,just that if you're so afraid that perhaps you should stock up yourself.And actually,I'm rather soft spoken.
10:48 am on Sunday, February 17, 2013
Show me one completely honest politician on either side and I have a bridge I'd like to sell ya. LOL
James D'Monquay
3:48 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
HAHAHAHAHA! Finest Secretary of State? Presidential candidate? Oh, gjc, you really had me going there for a minute! That's hysterical! You should go on Jimmy Kimmel with that schtick! That's too funny! The only people that that won't think that's funny are those who actually believe Obama and Hillary were sent by God. . . or is that Allah?
10:50 am on Sunday, February 17, 2013
You snide little muslim comment just proves you are ignorant. Once again, President Obama is not a muslim. And not all muslims are terrorists.

BL - The Islamic groups in America have been, um, reluctant (if they do at all) to condemn the murders of and jihad after jihad against Americans and other free societies. What does that tell you? Actions talk . . . .
6:26 pm on Sunday, February 17, 2013
Well,John,I guess that depends on who you listen to.How many Muslims do you know?I'll admit that I don't know many,but none of the ones I know approve of violence towards non-Muslims.American or otherwise.
I think you fear the inknown,or the bogey man,or things that go bump in the night.
4:30 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
I'm glad that I made you laugh. People who have nothing positive to contribute usually offer such nonsense. I don't believe that anyone was sent by God but I do recognize good, hard-working people when I see them. And by referencing Allah in such a pejorative way, it shows that you are also anti-Islamic which is just as bad as being anti-Catholic, Anti-Semetic or anti any religion. By the way, the REAL John Jay is stirring in his grave just knowing how you are desecrating his name.
fed up
5:25 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
You are the one with nothing positive to contribute and spewing liberal nonsense. You would not recognize good, hard working people if you fell over them. If you think hillary was a good secretary of state, i guess you also think that john (ichabod crane) kerry is a fine replacement. These people hate this country, and want to change it as soon as they can.
James D'Monquay
7:32 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
That comparison doesn't work dearie - Islam advocates killing non muslims, mutilating young girls, denying woman education (or any freedom for that matter), and flying planes into the World Trade Center (or had you forgotten?) I don't think the Pope or any rabbi is telling their folks to kill anyone. I think John Jay would be on the side of freedom, truth, and justice, under God.
6:07 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Wah, wah, wah. Now that you have lost the election big time, tuck your tail behind your legs and go running home to Mama.
fed up
6:17 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
gjc, I bet i can guess what that stands for. You seem to be the most clueless one on this thread. Lets hear some more of your leftist talking points before lights out at the home. When did they allow computers into the nursing homes. Oh i'm sorry. I meant adult long term care facility.
7:03 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
You're a very foolish young man. Oh wait, I can't call you a man. Real men don't act like clueless jerks. I absolutely love being a mature woman. I, and other women like me (and there are lots of us) could run rings around you. Why do you think that Mrs. Clinton is so successful. She can make mincemeat out of people like you just like she did at the Benghazi hearings. Ageists and sexists are always losers. No go get your lollipop and go to bed. You're boring me and others.
7:43 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Proven gjc? Sounds like an excuse - this isn't a court of law, the standard for any elected official (and I would think that would be true of the "Finest Secretary of State") is much higher. "I landed under sniper fire" - remember that? Proven false. Ms. Clinton was fired from the House Judiciary Committee staff for unethical behavior. Travelgate? E-mails and official communiques establish she was "untruthful" in her testimony to Congress about Benghazi. Ok, you are desperate for Hillary to be annointed as the next president. Please, when you're alone and it's quiet, conduct honest, in depth research on your hero and consider that research with some intellectual rigor. I trust after that, you'll understand that we must do better than Ms. Clinton for president.
fed up
7:49 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
First of all, you are the fool. Secondly, I am not clueless. Although i can be a jerk. Listening to dopey liberal old ladies such as yourself has that effect on me. You must love the PC world we live in. (mature woman) bahahaha! I highly doubt you could run rings around anything other than the dining hall at the home. I don't think Mrs. Clinton is successful. I think she is a liberal moron and a danger to this country. Mincemeat?? You honestly think she did a good job defending her dereliction of duty and cover up of the Benghazi attacks? You are one clueless old lady and nothing more than a sheep for the democratic party. Oh and by the way I love women and sweet little old ladies and I am not a loser. Now go get your diaper changed and pull up those teddy socks and get to bed. You are offending me and others.
4:04 pm on Sunday, February 17, 2013
As gjc shows, Hillary wasn't the only elderly woman to fall on her head and wake up cranky. Advanced age does that to everyone. Nothing to be ashamed of. It's just nature. Just that the presidency is too stressful for both of you. And don't tell us you didn't say that about McCain.
8:04 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
May I suggest that you re-read your comment? You are just repeating yourself and continously saying things that equal nothing more than "No, I'm not." Ditto for Publius. I won't continue this diatribe any longer because it doesn't make any sense. Mrs. Clinton, good luck in any endeavor that you choose. Same for Gov. Christie. You're both very fine and intelligent people. It's easy to see why you are leading in some polls.

i haven't seen christie do one notable or worthy act for all this praise or admiration. this is still the most corrupt state in the union and the highest taxed for everything. you people really better get a better pair of glasses.
Dentss Dunnagun
4:22 am on Sunday, February 17, 2013
Your right about the most corrupt state but for the highest taxed you have to look to the past Democrats governors ,Corzine raised taxes and fees 156 times ,Christie has NOT raised any taxes in his first four years ,and despite the Democrats in the legislature fighting him every step of the way he has put a cap on property taxes which have kept the increases to the lowest level in 20 years . Our Democrats in the legislator still refuse to bring up Christies tool kit which could save taxpayers thousands ,they refuse to confirm any of his superior court judges ,but they will bring him bills that will drive out more business ,jobs and taxpayers .
James D'Monquay
9:24 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Yeah, he hasn't lied to the public, lied to Congress, been convicted of perjury, been caught plagarizing, gone on trips on private planes to troll for underage prostitutes, used private campaign funds for gold watches, humped an intern, or other notable or worthy acts that get most Democrats elected or praised. Isn't our state legislature controlled by Democrats?
10:54 am on Sunday, February 17, 2013
Oh that's right. No republican has EVER been involved in a sex scandal. Give me a break. I bet your perfect too.

12:30 pm on Sunday, February 17, 2013
Democrat trick, Democrat trick! Change the subject make personal attacks! Right out of the Democrat/Liberal play book! Well followed. It depends on what "is" is. . . is that right?
7:45 am on Sunday, February 17, 2013
To all of the Hillary fans: I love how you take the old best defense is a good offense line by attacking those who disagree. Now for some reality (burns your flesh, doesn't it?), Ms. Clinton got a pass on Benghazi either due to a health crisis or by lying. So she is either a liar or too ill. She has not proved to be by any means a leader. She humiliated herself by staying with a cheating husband to further her own political career and then passively accepting a position from a man whose people derided her when she ran for President. I still say if she had dumped her cheating man when he embarassed her the way he did, she already would have been President for two terms because America would have respected her. She only appears to be a desperate hanger-onner. Sad, she could have been more.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

And as I said, Ms. Softspoken - learn to read. Do you know Mr. Obama's executive branch will issue more regulations (again, not from a branch of government that is represented by the people) then any other administration? Please - do some research before you make idotic pronouncements. According to you, all those who signed the Declaration of Indepence were crazy. Move to Russia - it's where you belong (the government pays for everything there).

John j, you say if you think Christie hasn't raised taxes you aren't looking in the right places. He just hides them better. He hasn't been honest with the public so can you say he hasn't lied? Hiding the truth isn't the same as lieing I suppose. but it's close enought to do damage the same way.
James D'Monquay
3:10 pm on Sunday, February 17, 2013
Facts facts facts? When? What taxes? Hides, how? When did he "hide" this? C'mon -be intelligent about your responses be intellectually rigorous - do the research, put it out there. Be specific, support your statements. Maybe then you'll be convincing. If you hate Mr. Christie convince us all there's a basis for it and that you're right.

Thanks Chief! Finally at least some basis for intelligent debate! Although the attribution is way lacking - it's a start. (C'mon, an attack on Mr. Christie's size is just juvenile). The reference to one or the other former President Bush is also confusing - there is no mention of either or even a political party in previous emails (nor is there any unfounded Clintonista like praise (see gjc)). My guess is you think President Bush (the latter) is responsible for the recent asteroid that slammed into Russia. Hey, are you a real Native American?

My latest job was to fix a crimper for fittings for hydraulic hoses, with a bend stub shaft on the actuation lever as shown in picture 1. The way the crimper works is you manually push on the lever, which actuates an eccentric which crimps the fitting. The stub shaft kept bending, because the stub shaft was weakened by two flats on the shaft and a hole located in the high stress area. The original stub shaft is shown in picture 2. My buddy asked me to weld it up. Instead of welding it up I decided cut off the old stub shaft from the tubular handle and replace it with new one, which I turned on my lathe. The new stub shaft that I made and the original tubular shaft are shown ready for welding in picture 3. A close up of my weld is shown in picture 4 and the crimper with the new shaft is shown in picture 5. The new shaft has considerably more cross sectional area so I am hoping that it will hold up. When in use the crimper is clamped in a vise so it does see a huge bending moment.

Attached is a picture of the inside of the crimper.
You can see four dies which look like they are made of tool steel.
The dies are mounded on slider blocks, which slide in slots in the base which looks like it is made of cast iron.
The slider blocks are attached to linkages.
Both the slider blocks and the linkages are likely made of alloy steel.
The head that rotates looks like it is made of forged steel.
To me it looks like a serious well made tool.

It is good to carry some powdered rouge in one's sleeve. It may happen that when one is sobering up or waking from sleep, a samurai's complexion may be poor. At such a time it is good to take out and apply some powdered rouge.

Our Program
What Division Will I Play In? - 2012 Edition
Players will be assigned to divisions according to age. Here are the divisions for 2012:
Assignments |
Division Directors (2012) |
Division | Born on or after: | Born on or before: | Boys | Girls |
U19 | August 1, 1993 | July 31, 1996 | ||
U16 | August 1, 1996 | July 31, 1998 | ||
U14 | August 1, 1998 (see note 1) | July 31, 2000 | ||
U12 | August 1, 2000 (see note 2) | July 31, 2002 | ||
U10 | August 1, 2002 | July 31, 2004 | ||
U8A | August 1, 2004 | July 31, 2005 |
U8B | August 1, 2005 | July 31, 2006 | ||
U6 | August 1, 2006 | July 31, 2007 | ||
U5 | August 1, 2007 | July 31, 2008 |
Note 1. Players age eligible for Division U14 who will enter the ninth grade in the fall are required to play in Division U16 unless they formally commit not to try out for or play in any high school soccer team. The reason for this is that CIF rules under which all of our local high schools play do not allow high school players to participate in AYSO or any other organized programs during the CIF season. This used to result in Division U14 9th graders leaving the program in December, thereby unbalancing the teams in the middle of the playoffs and leaving them short of players. Division U16 plays a shortened season with one or two games a week which ends before the CIF season begins and does not conflict with CIF rules.
Note 2: Players who (a) are in the seventh grade at school and (b) are age eligible for Division U12 and(c) as a result may only be eligible for one year of Division U14 under the above rule may (but are not required or even encouraged to) apply to be transferred to Division U14 a year early. No player who will not turn 12 until after December 31 of this year, no player in 6th grade, and no player without at least one year of experience in AYSO or club soccer is eligible for transfer under this rule.
Under our Section's rules, a player who is age eligible for Division U14 but plays in Division U16 during the regular season is not eligible for selection to the Division U14 All Star tournament. Similarly, any player who is age eligible for Division U12 but plays in Division U14 during the regular season is not eligible for selection to the Division U12 All Star tournament team. They can be selected to play in any other tournament at the division level for which they are age appropriate, if those tournament rules permit. Sorry for the bureaucratic rules, but it does help the program.
Note 3: Because of the huge number of players, we divide U8 into U8B (6 year olds or mostly 1st graders and some younger 2nd graders) and U8A (7 year olds or mostly 2nd and some younger 3rd graders). We have been doing this for some years in Boys U8 and, due to increased enrollment, began the same split for girls in 2006.
Note 4: The U5 program is for players who on July 31, 2012 are at least 4 and not yet 5 years old (no exceptions for children born after that date). Players who are 4 on that date will be assigned to the new U5 program, except that 4-year old players who will be in kindergarten in 2010 will be assigned to U6 but parents will have the choice of moving them down (and receiving a refund if they have paid the higher fee for U6 and above. Please read our U5 program page for more details.
Note 5: Our divisions generally correspond to grades, as follows:
Division | Grades |
U19 | 11 and 12 (and college) |
U16 | 9 and 10 |
U14 | 7 and 8 |
U12 | 5 and 6 |
U10 | 3 and 4 |
U6 | Kindergarten |
U5 | Pre-school |
However, because age is determined on July 31 for our purposes but in December for purposes of most Southern California schools, we often see players born in August through November who are in a higher grade. For example, a player born in August might be entering the 1st grade but the player's age was 5 on July 31 and so their initial assignment is to Division U6.
In recent years, we have given all parents a choice of whether to move their children up to be in a division with the majority of the players from the same grade. (As noted in Note 1, moving up is mandatory for certain high school players.) We expect this policy to continue in for the foreseeable future, although we may choose the alternative of automatically assigning players according to their grade and then allowing parents the choice of moving their children down to a division if eligible based on their age.
However, we do it (a) we don't have to allow move-ups or move-downs once a player has been assigned to a team unless we determine that the change can be done without disrupting the program; and (b) except in unusual circumstances in our absolute discretion (which might be exercised to accommodate a child with documented developmental or physical challenges), we do not allow a player to move down if the player would be older than the maximum age for the division.

Talk of the Town 02-06-13

Town of Jay – The Town of Jay's 2013 Tax Levy, amount to be raised by property taxes, will be discussed on November 14th, 2012 at the 6:30pm Public Hearing to be held at the Town of Jay Community Center Town Board Meeting Room with a Special Town Board Meeting to follow at 7pm in anticipation of passing the proposed budget(s).
This year, the Town of Jay Board will determine which Preliminary Budget to Adopt, Option #1 or Option #2.
The Town of Jay, in conjunction with the Au Sable Forks Volunteer Ambulance Service and the Town of Black Brook, hosted a "Public Information Session" on October 25th, 2012 to discuss the proposed 2013 Au Sable Forks Ambulance Budget Contract between the Towns of Jay and Black Brook.
Numerous residents from Jay and Black Brook were in attendance, to express their feelings in favor or opposed to the proposed Au Sable Forks Ambulance Contract increase of $85,351. The increase would allow the Ambulance Squad to provide 24/7 coverage, which seems to be in demand. However, this increase will affect both Town's 2013 Budget.
The proposed increase to the Ambulance Contract would increase the Town of Jay's Tax Levy 4.82% in 2013 and without the increase; the Levy would only increase 1.53%.
In order to accept the proposed budget that includes the Ambulance Contract increase, the Town will be holding a Public Hearing at 6pm, November 8th, 2012 to authorize the Town of Jay Board to Override the Tax Cap, if indeed it is needed.
"Supervisor Douglas asked that I prepare (2) Preliminary Budget options for our Town Board to discuss at the Public Hearing on November 14th, 2012," said Susan Richards. Richards further stated, "Option #1 includes the proposed increase of $85,351 to the Ambulance Contract and Option #2 is without the increase, remaining the same as last year."
The 2013 Budget includes three water districts, the Au Sable Forks Sewer District, the Au Sable Forks Ambulance (which serves the entire town under a contract) the General Fund, the Highway Fund and two libraries. Three Fire Districts are included on our 2013 Budget Analysis and Tax Impact, but they are separate entities and file their own Annual Financial Statement separate from the Town.
See below our Special Districts and the proposed Tax Levy Difference for 2013. The tax rate for each individual tax payer varies depending on which water, sewer, or fire district they reside in.

Supervisor Douglas said, "I feel that we the Town Board and Budget Officer have put together a very frugal and financially sound budget for 2013." Douglas further stated, "Town Officials, HWY/DPW Director Chris Garrow and I have worked together under tough conditions to offset the budget while still trying to recover physically, financially and emotionally from Irene. Our employees have seen their first raise in three years!"
Although the Town of Jay is receiving funding assistance from FEMA and NY State through Project Worksheet documentation submitted, there are still some costs that just aren't covered. Some expenses don't fall under their eligibility guidelines. For example, when the Town had to borrow short term Bond Anticipation Notes for $1 Million each, the interest on each BAN was $20,900. This cost times two will be absorbed by the Town. For approximately every $16,000 in the Town Budget, is an increase of 1% on the tax levy. Therefore, the BAN interest alone equates to over 2%.
Douglas further elaborated; "Some of the significant impacts on our Town Budget include employer costs such as New York State Retirement and rising health care costs." New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli announced in August of 2012 that the Fiscal Year 2013-14 average contribution rate for the Employee Retirement System (ERS) will increase from 18.9% of salaries to 20.9%. In 2007, the Town of Jay's annual retirement premium was $49,372.00. 2013's is projected to be $115,791.00. This unfunded mandate has increased 134% in just five years!
Supervisor Douglas said in his opinion, "New York State made unwise decisions when they relinquished the 3% employee contribution after 10 years of service, as well as unwise decisions investing employee stocks in unstable funds."
Health Insurance Rates are expected to exceed 10% this year as well. In just the last five years alone, our premium for our active employees has increased approximately 60%.
Tuesday, November 20, 2012, is Emergency Preparedness Day for Lake Placid Central School's students. It is also the last day of school before Thanksgiving Break.
All students in the middle/high school will be dismissed at 9:50 a.m. and the elementary school will be dismissed at 10:30 a.m. This will give parents an opportunity to practice making arrangements for the care of their children during the normal school day in the event that there would be an emergency and the school would have to dismiss early.
School districts are required by New York State to hold Emergency Preparedness drills so that parents, staff and students can develop a contingency plan.
Draft Saranac Lake Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail Master Plan Released
Public meeting scheduled for Tuesday, November 20th
SARANAC LAKE – The Village of Saranac Lake Healthy Infrastructure Advisory Board announced today the release of the Draft Saranac Lake Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail Master Plan. It is available online for viewing at the Village Offices and online at www.saranaclakeny.gov.
The plan catalogs existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and existing trails. It also makes recommendations for improvements to existing infrastructure, new infrastructure improvements, and programs that help promote safe and enjoyable walking and biking. Community Development Director Jeremy Evans said, "The Saranac Lake community has tremendous trail assets and is, by its historic compact nature, very walkable. The purpose of this plan is to highlight our existing assets and make recommendations for connections that will link all of these assets together. We need to have a vision for seamless bicycle, pedestrian, and trail networks and start working to make it a reality."
The Village will introduce the plan at a public information meeting on Tuesday, November 20th from 6-8PM in the John Black Room at the Saranac Lake Laboratory, 89 Church Street in Saranac Lake. Representatives from different organizations involved in developing or maintaining trail networks in the community will also be on hand to highlight their work and provide brief updates on their efforts. The public is invited to attend to learn about the plan, ask questions, and provide comments. Feedback received will be incorporated in the final draft of the plan.
Comments and questions regarding the plan will be accepted until Friday November 30th and should be directed to Jeremy Evans, Community Development Director at 891-4150 ext. 235 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Funding for the project was provided by a $40,000 New York State Local Waterfront Revitalization Program grant. The Village hired Alta Planning and Design to work with the Advisory Board to develop the plan.
Village to Salute Red Storm Football Team
Mayor Clyde Rabideau will issue a mayoral proclamation saluting the Saranac Lake Central School Red Storm Football Team at its regular Monday night meeting in the Village Hall, which starts at 5:30 PM, for winning its third straight Class C title in Section 7.
Rabideau said, "Our local high school football players have consistently performed well each game, heavily outscoring their opponents and, for the third straight year, won the Class C crown in the section, but more importantly, they've exhibited outstanding sportsmanship and represented our community in a very positive light. They are tremendous ambassadors of the Capital of the Adirondacks."
The Red Storm Football team competed an undefeated regular season in league play this fall and went on to win a third-straight Section VII-X Class C title. The team recently placed 15 of its members on the First Team of the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference All Stars, with Seniors Matt Phelan named Offensive Player of the Year and Michael Burpoe named Defensive Player of the Year.

Village Set to Welcome New Biotech Company
Saranac Lake will officially welcome its newest corporate citizen and biotech company, Active Motif, at 6 pm, December 4th, with a reception and ribbon-cutting event which will be held at its 21 Main Street location.
This new Active Motif site is in the former "water building" and is leased from the village after having undergone extensive renovations over the last 6 months.
Active Motif follows nearby biotech, Myriad/RBM, which opened last June, into Saranac Lake's new "Biotech-Cluster," which is also comprised of nearby Trudeau Institute and Bionique.
Mayor Clyde Rabideau commented, "This emerging industry offers good-paying, sustainable jobs to our Adirondack region as well as a large and positive presence in our downtown."
The Village of Saranac Lake was recognized earlier this year by the New York Conference of Mayors for developing its biotech-cluster and garnered the first place Local government Achievement Award for Economic Development.
Rabideau said, "We're now poised to go after other biotechs and bring them into our Saranac Lake community in the years to come."
The public is invited and encouraged to attend the welcoming event—at no charge—by making reservations with the village Community Development office, at 891-4150.
The cost for the reception is entirely underwritten by Bernier and Carr, the renovation project engineering company, Integrated Rigging and Contracting, the project's general contractor and Murray Electric, the project's electrical contractor.
The Village of Saranac Lake will meet at 5:30 in the Village Offices on the 2nd floor of the Harrietstown Town Hall.
"Show Some Taste.. Pick Up Your Waste!"

Memorial Day – No School / Banks, Financial Markets, Post Offices Closed
Below From Wikipedia's Description of Memorial Day;
Memorial Day is an American federal holiday observed annually on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries.
By the early 20th century, Memorial Day was an occasion for more general expressions of memory, as people visited the graves of their deceased relatives in church cemeteries, whether they had served in the military or not. It also became a long weekend increasingly devoted to shopping, family gatherings, fireworks, trips to the beach, and national media events.
Annual Decoration Days for particular cemeteries are held on a Sunday in late spring or early summer in some rural areas of the American South, notably in the mountains. In cases involving a family graveyard where remote ancestors as well as those who were deceased more recently are buried, this may take on the character of an extended family reunion to which some people travel hundreds of miles. People gather on the designated day and put flowers on graves and renew contacts with kinfolk and others. There often is a religious service and a "dinner on the ground," the traditional term for a potluck meal in which people used to spread the dishes out on sheets or tablecloths on the grass. It is believed that this practice began before the American Civil War and thus may reflect the real origin of the "memorial day" idea.
Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, living or dead.
Civil War Veterans in Ortonville, Minnesota on the Fourth of July, 1880 – also called "Decoration Day" prior to the Uniform Monday Holiday Act almost a century later.
The practice of decorating soldiers' graves with flowers is an ancient custom.[5] Soldiers' graves were decorated in the U.S. before and during the American Civil War. A claim was made in 1906 that the first Civil War soldier's grave ever decorated was in Warrenton, VA on June 3, 1861, implying the first Memorial Day occurred there. There is authentic documentation that women in Savannah, Georgia decorated soldiers' graves in 1862. In 1863, the cemetery dedication at Gettysburg, PA was a ceremony of commemoration at the graves of dead soldiers. Local historians in Boalsburg, PA, claim that ladies there decorated soldiers' graves on July 4, 1864. As a result, Boalsburg promotes itself as the birthplace of Memorial Day.
Following President Abraham Lincoln's assassination in April 1865, there were a variety of events of commemoration. The first well-known observance of a Memorial Day-type observance after the Civil War was in Charleston, South Carolina on May 1, 1865. During the war, Union soldiers who were prisoners of war had been held at the Charleston Race Course; at least 257 Union prisoners died there and were hastily buried in unmarked graves. Together with teachers and missionaries, blacks in Charleston organized a May Day ceremony in 1865, which was covered by the New York Tribune and other national papers. The freedmen had cleaned up and landscaped the burial ground, building an enclosure and an arch labeled, "Martyrs of the Race Course." Nearly ten thousand people, mostly freedmen, gathered on May 1 to commemorate the dead. Involved were 3,000 schoolchildren newly enrolled in freedmen's schools, mutual aid societies, Union troops, and black ministers and white northern missionaries. Most brought flowers to lay on the burial field. Today the site is used as Hampton Park.[12] Years later, the celebration would come to be called the "First Decoration Day" in the North.
David W. Blight described the day:
"This was the first Memorial Day. African Americans invented Memorial Day in Charleston, South Carolina. What you have there is black Americans recently freed from slavery announcing to the world with their flowers, their feet, and their songs what the War had been about. What they basically were creating was the Independence Day of a Second American Revolution." Blight admitted, however, that he "has no evidence" that this event in Charleston led to the establishment of Memorial Day across the country.
The sheer number of dead soldiers, both Union and Confederate, who perished in the civil war meant that burial and memorialization would take on new cultural significance. Particularly under the leadership of women during the war, an increasingly formal practice of decorating graves had already taken shape. In 1865, the federal government began a program of creating national military cemeteries for the Union dead.
The Tomb of the Unknowns located in Arlington National Cemetery
On May 5, 1868, in his capacity as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic – the organization for Union Civil War veterans – General John A. Logan issued a proclamation that "Decoration Day" should be observed nationwide and annually. It was observed for the first time on May 30 of the same year; according to folklore, the date was chosen because it was not the anniversary of a battle. According to the White House, the May 30 date was chosen as the optimal date for flowers to be in bloom. Events were held in 183 cemeteries in 27 states in 1868, and 336 in 1869. The northern states quickly adopted the holiday; Michigan made "Decoration Day" an official state holiday in 1871 and by 1890, every northern state followed suit. The ceremonies were sponsored by the Women's Relief Corps, which had 100,000 members. By 1870, the remains of nearly 300,000 Union dead had been reinterred in 73 national cemeteries, located near the battlefields and therefore mostly in the South. The most famous are Gettysburg National Cemetery in Pennsylvania and Arlington National Cemetery, near Washington.
The Memorial Day speech became an occasion for veterans, politicians and ministers to commemorate the War – and at first to rehash the atrocities of the enemy. They mixed religion and celebratory nationalism and provided a means for the people to make sense of their history in terms of sacrifice for a better nation. People of all religious beliefs joined together, and the point was often made that the German and Irish soldiers had become true Americans in the "baptism of blood" on the battlefield. By the end of the 1870s much of the rancor was gone, and the speeches praised the brave soldiers both Blue and Gray. By the 1950s, the theme was American exceptionalism and duty to uphold freedom in the world.
Ironton, Ohio, lays claim to the nation's oldest continuously running Memorial Day parade. Its first parade was held May 5, 1868, and the town has held it every year since. However, the Memorial Day parade in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, predates Ironton's by one year.
Confederate Memorial Monument in Montgomery, Alabama
Evidence exists showing that General John A. Logan adopted for the North the pre-existing annual Confederate Memorial Day custom that had already been in place in the South since 1866. The U.S. National Park Service attributes the beginning of the practice to the ladies of Columbus, Georgia. This separate tradition of Memorial Day observance which emerged earlier in the South was linked to the Lost Cause and served as the prototype for the national day of memory. Historians acknowledge that the Ladies Memorial Association played a key role in that development. Starting in 1866, the Southern states established Confederate Memorial Day. Various dates ranging from April 25 to mid-June were adopted in the different Southern states. By 1916, the June 3 birthday of Confederate President Jefferson Davis was observed as a state holiday in 10 southern states. Across the South, associations were founded after the War, many by women, to establish and care for permanent cemeteries for Confederate soldiers, organize commemorative ceremonies and sponsor impressive monuments as a permanent way of remembering the Confederate cause and tradition. The most important was the United Daughters of the Confederacy, which grew from 17,000 members in 1900 to nearly 100,000 women by World War I. They were "strikingly successful at raising money to build Confederate monuments, lobbying legislatures and Congress for the reburial of Confederate dead, and working to shape the content of history textbooks."
On April 25, 1866, women in Columbus, Mississippi laid flowers at the graves of both the Union and Confederate casualties buried in its cemetery. The early Confederate Memorial Day celebrations were simple, somber occasions for veterans and their families to honor the day and attend to local cemeteries. Around 1890, there was a shift from this consolatory emphasis on honoring specific soldiers to public commemoration of the Confederate cause. Changes in the ceremony's hymns and speeches reflect an evolution of the ritual into a symbol of cultural renewal and conservatism in the South. By 1913, Blight argues, the theme of American nationalism shared equal time with the Lost Cause.
Soldiers National Monument at the center of Gettysburg National Cemetery.
The ceremonies and Memorial Day address at Gettysburg National Park became nationally well known, starting in 1868. In July 1913, veterans of the United States and Confederate armies gathered in Gettysburg to commemorate the fifty-year anniversary of the Civil War's bloodiest and most famous battle. The four-day "Blue-Gray Reunion" featured parades, re-enactments, and speeches from a host of dignitaries, including President Woodrow Wilson, the first Southerner elected to the White House since the War. James Heflin of Alabama was given the honor of the main address. Heflin was a noted orator; two of his best-known speeches were an endorsement of the Lincoln Memorial and his call to make Mother's Day a holiday. His choice as Memorial Day speaker was criticized, as he was opposed for his racism. His speech was moderate in tone and stressed national unity and goodwill, which gained praise from newspapers. Since the cemetery dedication at Gettysburg occurred on November 19, that day (or the closest weekend) has been designated as their own local memorial day that is referred to as Remembrance Day.
The preferred name for the holiday gradually changed from "Decoration Day" to "Memorial Day", which was first used in 1882. It did not become more common until after World War II, and was not declared the official name by Federal law until 1967. On June 28, 1968, the Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which moved four holidays, including Memorial Day, from their traditional dates to a specified Monday in order to create a convenient three-day weekend. The change moved Memorial Day from its traditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May. The law took effect at the federal level in 1971. After some initial confusion and unwillingness to comply, all 50 states adopted Congress's change of date within a few years.
Memorial Day endures as a holiday which most businesses observe because it marks the unofficial beginning of summer. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) advocate returning to the original date, although the significance of the date is tenuous.
The VFW stated in a 2002 Memorial Day Address:
Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed a lot to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day. Since 1987, Hawaii's Senator Daniel Inouye, a World War II veteran, has introduced a measure to return Memorial Day to its traditional date.
On Memorial Day the flag of the United States is raised briskly to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until noon. It is then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day.
The half-staff position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave their lives in service of their country. At noon their memory is raised by the living, who resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead and continue the fight for liberty and justice for all.
Indianapolis 500
One of the longest-standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, an auto race which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911. It runs on the Sunday preceding the Memorial Day holiday. The Coca-Cola 600 stock car race has been held later the same day since 1961. The Memorial Tournament golf event has been held on or close to the Memorial Day weekend since 1976.
Because Memorial Day is generally associated with the start of the summer season, it is common tradition to inaugurate the outdoor cooking season on Memorial Day with a barbecue.

It may have started on the West Coast in the 1980s but Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza is just now arriving to the Upstate. It's not your standard take-out pizza joint. You can watch them create your specialty pizza, then you take it home and cook it in your oven when you're ready to eat.
Papa Murphy's new locations opened this summer in Taylors on Wade Hampton in front of Target and in Greenville on Pelham Road in front of Wal-Mart.
"You can cook it exactly the way you want it," says Austin Wilson, director of operations. "It fits into people's lifestyles."
Choose from the Thin Crust de-Lite with fewer calories and less fat or grab a stuffed pizza with two layers of dough and tons of ingredients. The stuffed pizzas can sometimes weigh up to 4-5 pounds, Wilson says.
There are two ways to go. You can create your own pizza with the type of crust, sauce and toppings you want. Or you can go for one of the signature pizzas and try something different like the Gourmet Chicken Garlic, with garlic sauce and an herb cheese blend. There is also the Herb Chicken Mediterranean, complete with olive oil, spinach and feta. The Cowboy is piled high with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms and olives.
Each pizza comes with baking instructions.
"Everything is made fresh daily," says Wilson. "We get local produce for our toppings and salads."
Wilson bought the rights to franchise Papa Murphy's in the Upstate and would like to have 12 restaurants over the next few years. He wants to open shops across the Upstate such as in Spartanburg, Easley, Simpsonville, Pickens and Powdersville.
Large pizzas range from $8 to $13 and serve 2-3 people, mediums are $1 less than a large serving 1-2 people and family-size pizzas are 2 bucks extra and can serve 4-6.
Papa Murphy's also has cheese bread, salads, cookie dough, cinnamon wheels and a S'mores dessert pizza.
"People like 20 percent more for 20 percent less," explains Wilson. "These are tough times so when you're looking to feed a family and you can do it for 12 bucks — there aren't many places you can do that."
Check out a photo tour of the Taylors location of Papa Murphy's.

An Angel for May
Here's the brand new, Andersen edition of An Angel for May. Carnegie shortlisted, it was inspired by an old bag lady I saw barefoot in the sleet one day in Hackney. One day, I thought, she had had been a little girl. Maybe she'd been happy then.
She looked so sad, I wondered what terrible things had happened to make her like that.
If you could go back in time, you could find her and save her from whatever had made her so sad and unable to cope. What a thing that would be - to give someone their whole life back.
When Tam meets a stray dog up on the moors, he doesn't know that she is there to help him to save someone she loves ...
