AMHERST, NY - "They're getting things done, they're cutting costs, and we've lowered taxes and expenses the last two years," Town Supervisor Barry Weinstein told WGRZ-TV, in defending his proposal to increase the salaries of most elected officials in Erie County's largest town by 2% across the board.
This would include town board members (who were scheduled to vote on the proposal Monday evening) the Town Clerk, and the town's Highway Superintendent.
Weinstein's proposal did not include pay hikes for town judges or for himself as Supervisor.
There has not been an across the board pay raise for elected officials in the town since 2004, although some elected officials have had incremental increases through stipends, as they have taken on additional responsibilities previously held by others.
Weinstein says, moreover, good work should be rewarded.
"The Highway Superintendent, who doubles as refuse coordinator, did a contract with Modern (Modern Disposal Inc.) which saves the town of Amherst taxpayers $10 million...thats $2 million a year for five years. The new Clerk, in her first year, cleaned up a colossal mess finding thousands of dollars left in envelopes and unrecorded and she is saving the town a tremendous amount of money," Weinstein said.
Asked by Two On Your Side if these elected officials, in finding cost savings, aren't merely just doing the jobs expected of them, Weinstein replied, "Well they're doing a lot better than their predecessors."
Weinstein proposed raising the pay of members of the town board by $500 to $26,000 annually, hiking the pay of the Town Clerk by $1,300 (to $66,300) and increasing the salary of the Highway Superintendent by $1,700 to $98,700 (a figure which includes $20,000 in stipends).
In addition to the 2% raise in his base play, Deputy Town Supervisor Guy Marlette (also a member of the town board) would receive an additional $3,000 stipend proposed by Weinstein for negotiating union contracts. This would be on top of the $3,000 stipend Marlette already receives for serving as the Deputy Supervisor, and bring his annual compensation to $32,000.
However, Marlette said he could not support the proposal.
"I work hard at my job but I think I'm compensated fairly and quite honestly I don't think there's any reason to put any additional amounts on there," Marlette said.
Prior to the meeting Weinstein indicated that if the town board was unwilling to boost the pay of elected officials as he proposed, he would end his pursuit of the raises this year.
However, Weinstein tells Channel 2 News his yet to be completed 2013 budget proposal will also include proposed raises for select town department heads, who he feels are doing superlative work.
"Í want to pay for quality service," Weinstein said, adding that the total amount of additional compensation would probably involve anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000.
Asked by Two On Your Side to respond to taxpayers who may share his belief, but who feel there is no room to increase compensation through additional tax dollars, Weinstein replied, "They're being short sided. There are people who are making decisions which have lowered the town cost structure by millions of dollars over the past two years (and) they deserve some sort of reward for that."

The Holiday Inn in Price remains open for business as usual Monday morning.
The Price Holiday Inn - building, lot, fixtures, even paintings on the walls - is scheduled to be sold on the Carbon County Courthouse steps Feb. 15 at a sheriff's sale. The legal notice is on page 8A of today's newspaper.
The forced sale is the result of a default judgment against owner HI Price, LLC, and a foreclosure. The plaintiff, BACM 2006-5 Westwood Boulevard, LLC, is trying to recover more than $12.7 million owed on the mortgage. Included in that figure are $10.6 million in principal, nearly $2 million in interest and late fees, and $145,000 for attorney fees and expenses.
The judgment was entered Dec. 23 by Seventh Judicial District Court Judge Douglas B. Thomas.
The HI Price mortgage - along with those of the Ogden Marriott and 11 other hotels in seven other states - are part of a multibillion-dollar security pool that dates back to Wall Street in late 2006, a little more than a year before the nation's financial markets neared the brink of collapse.
How a relatively small hotel in Price came to be connected with the complexities of the nation's financial hub and the impacts of recession is a story that spans more than five years. The Sun Advocate researched court documents, Securities and Exchange Commission filings and other publicly available information to prepare this timeline.
June - August 2006
HI Price, LLC was organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company on June 26, 2006. On Aug. 3, HI Price applied to the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code to transact business in this state. HI Price indicated on its application it was managed by Trinity Bay 13 Hotel, LLC.
The whole portfolio of hotels in Trinity Bay 13 was part of Trinity Hotel Investors, LLC, with headquarters on Park Avenue in Manhattan. As of this Monday, the hotels were still pictured on Trinity's website.
September 2006
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc. loaned $130 million to the 13 limited liability companies, all chartered in Delaware, on Sept. 12. Among those companies was HI Price, LLC, which, according to a later Securities and Exchange Commission filing, was $10.7 million of the total.
On Sept. 13, Sunstone Hotel Investors, a southern California real estate investment trust, announced the sale of the 13 hotels to Trinity Hotel Investors for $144.1 million.
Weeks later, those properties became collateral in a much larger pool of $2.24 billion worth of commercial mortgages that BSCM and other big firms sold to Banc of America Commercial Mortgage.
October 2006
An SEC 8K filing dated Oct. 24 stated that the Banc of America company intended to take those pooled mortgages and offer them as securities - "pass through certificates" - to several big investors. Those buyers were listed as Banc of America Securities LLC; Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.; Barclays Capital Inc.; SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc.; Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc.
Those pass through certificates- all 27 classes of them - were named Banc of America Commercial Mortgage Inc./Series 2006-5. Banc of America was to be the master servicer of the issue, which meant that it was responsible for making sure that the certificates lived up to their name, passing through the principal and interest payments from the mortgagees to the investors.
2007 - 2008
Bear Stearns shares were trading at around $170 in January 2007. By March 2008, on the verge of bankruptcy caused by the abrupt decline in the subprime mortgage market and panic on Wall Street, the 85-year-old company was acquired by JP Morgan Chase for $10 per share and ceased to exist independently. Banc of America, however, was already successor in interest and master servicer of the Trinity Portfolio.
In a report dated June 2, 2010, Moody's Investors Service announced the downgrading of several classes of BACM Series 2006-5 Securities. Among the reasons for the downgrades, Moody's cited that the Trinity Portfolio of mortgages, which were about 6 percent of the value of the whole series, had been put into special loan servicing the previous November due to "imminent default."
On April 22, BACM sent its first notice of default to Trinity.
BACM agreed to a note-splitting agreement with Trinity in December, breaking the original loan into 13 promissory notes.
Moody's reported on April 28 that some 40 loans in the securities series were in trouble, of which the Trinity Portfolio was one.
On July 11, acting as BACM 2006-5 Westwood Boulevard, LLC, BACM sent a second notice of default.
BACM then asked the Seventh District Court on Sept.7 for a judgment of default and a sheriff's sale.
There was no response from HI Price by Oct. 24. On Oct. 28, the court entered the notice of default.
This was followed by the foreclosure and Order of Sale entered on Dec. 23.
On Jan. 10, the city council of Craig, Colo., held a public hearing to consider granting a hotel and liquor license to BACM 2006-5 Highway 13 Lodging, LLC, formerly the Holiday Inn at 300 South Highway 13, Craig.
Todd Ruff, Senior Vice President of Trinity Hotel Investors, declined to comment when contacted by the Sun Advocate on Monday.
Bentley R. Peay of Stoel Rives LLP, the law firm representing BACM 2006-5 Westwood Boulevard, said last week the sale will go on as planned, unless something should occur between now and Feb. 15 that would change things.
Carbon County Sheriff James Cordova said the Sheriff's Department gets no commission on the sale, if it should occur as scheduled.

Infrequently, varenicline may cause serious mental/mood changes, even after stopping the medication. Drinking alcohol while taking this medication may increase the risk for mental/mood changes. Quitting smoking itself may also cause mental/mood changes. Stop taking varenicline and tell your doctor or pharmacist immediately if you have symptoms such as depression/suicidal thoughts, agitation, aggressiveness, or other unusual thoughts or behavior.Who should not take Chantix Starting Month Pak?
This medication is used in combination with a stop-smoking program (e.g., education materials, support group, counseling) to help you quit smoking. Varenicline works by blocking nicotine's actions in the brain. Quitting smoking decreases your risk of heart and lung disease, as well as cancer.
Discuss the risks and benefits of this medication, as well as other ways to quit smoking (such as nicotine replacement treatment), with your doctor.
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking varenicline and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist. There are two ways to use varenicline to help you quit smoking. The first way is to set a date to quit smoking before beginning treatment with this drug. Begin taking varenicline as directed by your doctor, 1 week before the quit date. When you first start taking this medication, take one 0.5-milligram tablet once a day for 3 days, then increase to one 0.5-milligram tablet twice a day for 4 days. The dose is slowly increased to lessen the chance of side effects (such as nausea, unusual dreams). During this first week, it is okay to smoke. Stop smoking on the quit date and begin taking the dose prescribed by your doctor twice a day for the rest of the 12-week treatment period. The second way to use varenicline is to start taking the drug before you choose a date to quit smoking. Start with the 0.5-milligram tablets and increase the dose as directed by your doctor. Pick a date to quit smoking that is between days 8 and 35 of treatment. Stop smoking on the chosen quit date. No matter which way you use varenicline, always follow your doctor's directions carefully.
If this medication comes in a dosing package, carefully follow the directions on the dosing package. There are two types of dosing packs, a starting pack and a continuing pack, each containing different strengths of this medication. If this medication comes in a bottle, carefully follow your doctor's directions on the prescription label. If you have any questions about how to take this medication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth after food and with a full glass of water.
Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy.
Do not increase your dose or take this medication more often than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and the risk of serious side effects may be increased. Do not take more than 1 milligram twice a day.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day.
Inform your doctor if you continue to smoke after a few weeks of treatment.
If you are successful and cigarette-free after 12 weeks of treatment, your doctor may recommend another 12 weeks of treatment with varenicline.
See also Warning section.
Nausea, headache, vomiting, drowsiness, gas, constipation, trouble sleeping, unusual dreams, or changes in taste may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: burning feeling in feet/toes, unusual pain in the legs when walking.
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: chest/jaw/left arm pain, weakness on one side of the body, severe headache, vision changes, confusion, slurred speech, seizure.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

This drug may make you drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely.

Smoking can affect the way your body removes certain drugs. When you stop smoking, your doses of these drugs may need to be adjusted by your doctor. Tell your doctor if you take any of the following medications. Some of the drugs that smoking may affect, among others, are: "blood thinners" (e.g., warfarin), insulin, theophylline.

What is Cycling for libraries?
Founded in 2011, the Cycling for libraries is an international cycling conference for librarians and library lovers. It aims to advocate libraries and increase awareness of the valuable services and resources that libraries offer to the community.
Passion for Libraries…?
In November 2013, the Cycling for libraries team with its members set up an international association to support Cycling for libraries tours as well as voluntary based library advocacy and library campaigns. The official name of the association is International Association for Library Advocacy, but it has also been called as "Voice for libraries" or "Passion for libraries" according to its mission.
They said about libraries
"An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them."
"There is not such a cradle of democracy on earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration."
"I had no books at home. I started to frequent a public library in Lisbon. It was there, with no help except curiosity and the will to learn, that my taste for reading developed and was refined."

Forensic Sciences
Forensic science is a dynamic discipline that is increasingly providing solutions to many problems faced in the detection and countering of crime and terrorism. It is inherently multidisciplinary and relates to all stages of the forensic science process from the crime scene, to the analysis of evidence, the interpretation of those results and their presentation to a court.
Forensic science is widely recognised to be critical to the efficiency and effectiveness of the criminal justice system, it is also acknowledged that there are significant areas of research and development that need to be addressed more fully to ensure that the forensic sciences are in the position to provide strategic solutions for the future of crime detection.
The research interests of the Forensic science group lie in exploring the philosophical approaches of forensic science and also in developing novel means of trace evidence analysis. In particular, environmental evidence is a key area, specifically the potential for soils and sediments to provide useful intelligence and evidence in forensic investigations.

Hello all, I'm wondering about the process to join into the OCS program. I've never served in the military and currently hold a bachelors degree and will be finishing up my Masters degree this summer. I have been looking into the OCS program but don't quite understand the process. I understand I would most likely do the State and accelerated route but what are the steps I would be taking. I know I would first do the MEPS obviously, but then what? Example, first I would go where and do what? Then I'd head to where? I'm looking for a time frame so I can plan accordingly. Did I mention I am currently 30 and pretty sure I have a small window of opportunity? Thanks for any information.

Re: OCS Process
I followed the same road as you.
I enlisted at MEPS as an E-4 and shipped off to basic. About 3 weeks after basic, I went to accelerated OCS in Alabama. I did all 3 phases there, begining in January.
Basic was something like 11 weeks, OCS was 8 weeks.
At some point after you graduate OCS, you will attend a Federal Recognition (FedRec) board. That is essentially an interview after which you will be eligible to accept your commission. I accepted mine the same day.
If your experience is like mine, you will already have been accepted into a unit. Typically, it is a position that is in line with the branch you have chosen.
You'll beging drilling as a Platoon Leader, most likely. If you listen to your Platoon Sergeant, you can learn a whole lot as a brand new PL.
After that, you'll go off to your Basic Officer Leadership Course (BOLC). How long you drill before you go to BOLC depends on how soon you can get a reservation in a course. BOLC duration depends entirely on your branch.
From then on, you're expected to perform as a branch officer.
Re: OCS Process
Thanks, that was a lot of useful information. This may seem like a silly question, but what branch will I most likely be serving and how much input do I have in that decision. Is this a guarantee as well? I'm just wondering about what i'll be doing after the graduation and commissioning.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
It was the big showdown everyone expected; first place in Region 8 North Sanpete verses second place Carbon.
But for Carbon fans the big showdown, became the big let down. Having rolled through the rest of their opponents in region play since last facing the Lady Hawks on Sept. 26, Carbon was ready for the Mt. Pleasant team and almost everyone was sure they could prevail. Instead the North Sanpete girls ripped Carbon in three games 25-15, 25-22 and 25-22.
Once again the slow start that has been a trademark of the Lady Dinos this year struck them in the first game, making their scoring output low. But they did come back in the other two and the contests were in doubt right up to the end.
The dream died as the Dinos went down in three games to the Hawks. Carbon just could not get going again in game one as the Hawks pulled away to take it 15-25.
The Dinos led in game two and three until the end of each. A few missed passes and a service error or two and North Sanpete pulled past Carbon in both games to edge out the win.
Coach Bean was not even able to talk on Tuesday night because he was suffering with a chest cold. Several of the squad also were under the weather and did not play their best game.
Despite the adversity, Bean knew his team had almost walked away with the upset if they had just been able to finish off the Hawks in game two and three.
"A serve here and a kill there and we would have been up 2-1 easily." he mused. "We can't overlook the Emery game on Monday, but we will be ready for state." he added. "We are glad we have a week to get ready, we have a lot of practicing to do."
The loss to North Sanpete puts the Dinos in second place in region eight play no matter what the outcome of their game with Emery.
This means they will be paired up against the number three seed from Region 11. At this time that looks to be Logan, sporting a 1-2 region record. The Lady Grizzlies are 1-9 on the season.
A win in the first round by Carbon will probably pit the Lady Dino's against Snow. Snow has been ranked in the top five teams in 3A all season.
Bean feels like his team can go deep into the tournament if they bring their A game to the table.
Before they get ahead of themselves however, they want to take care of business with Emery.
That game has been moved to Monday night (Oct. 23) at Emery High beginning at 6:30.

Policemen walk past a part of the so called East Side Gallery in... News PhotoBerlin,Germany,Horizontal,Human Sciences,Police Force,Science and Technology,WalkingPhotographer STEPHANIE PILICKCollection: DPA 2013 AFPPolicemen walk past a part of the so called East Side Gallery in Berlin on February 26, 2013. The group 'Mediaspree versenken!' (Sink Mediaspree!), members of local action groups and a commission of clubs neighbouring the Spree border at the former Berlin Wall's death zone are protesting against the planned demolition of parts of the East Side Gallery in order to construct luxury appartments. The East Side Gallery stretch of the Berlin Wall was taken over by artists who decorated the yet untouchable east side with artwork and political statements, after the wall was taken down in 1989-1990.

Yes, another windshirt thread. I figured I would start another one, rather than hijack one of the existing threads.I'm in the market for a windshirt. I have a couple, but the one I use the most is a Montbell. I like it, but it lacks a hood. I am looking for one that will be used primarily in the summer. I use it for bug protection as much as wind protection. Here are some features I would like:1) Hooded (otherwise I would just stick with what I have).2) More Breathable (less windproof) -- Since I use it as much for bug protection as wind protection (I also have rain gear so I can always pile on the wind protection).3) Full Zip -- This isn't a necessity, but I like having it. 4) Lightweight -- The lighter the better (of course).5) Light color -- When I use it for bug protection it can get too hot if my only choices are dark colors. I also like to be seen, so I don't mind bright (even ugly) colors.6) Athletic Fit -- I fit the Montbell clothes pretty well. I'm pretty skinny, at 6 feet even and around 150 (give or take a beer or two).Here are some jackets I'm considering:Tachyon Anorak -- This lacks a full zip (which is why I'm not too thrilled with it).Patagonia Houdini -- A crowd favorite. It seems to be quite breathable. I'm not thrilled with the weight though and don't know about the fit.The North Face Verto Jacket -- I don't know too much about this, but it seems like it should be considered. It seems rather pricey for what it is (but Montbell isn't cheap and I always like their stuff). I'm not sure if they still make this and if I can get one.Stoic Wraith Shell -- This sounds like what I want. Like the North Face shirt, though, I'm not sure where I can get one.Any other ideas or thoughts?
Feathered Friends Jackorack? Only smalls and mediums, favorable reviews
This may be way out there.....but thought I'd toss it in as a thought as it seems to fit your criteria. http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=64670I have your stats and love the way the Large fits. I could have made it a full zip too...but wanted to save a bit of weight. I have found it to offer great skeeter protection. It's light and inexpensive too. Just a thought.......
Edited by rustyb on 02/08/2013 12:07:37 MST.
Hi Ross,I bought a Stoic Warth a while back and it is nice but they did not out any elastic on the cuffs which is a small negative.
I do not have or want a hood on my wind shirt. I want my wind shirt to be as light weight as possible.if the weather is blustery enough to require a hood, I go with my 6 oz shell - North Face Triumph.
I have the Stoic Wraith.It's very light and nice.There is a full zip and a hood.There is no elastic on the hood or the cuffs.But it only weighs about 2.5 ounces, and stuffs into it's own very small pocket.The fit runs snug.And when they run a sale, the price is VERY good, at under $40.
Edited by towaly on 02/08/2013 12:51:53 MST.
Ross, consider the MEC RD Windshirt. It's full zip, it's got a fantastic hood (functionally, not stylistically) that keeps bugs from entering and it's got a nice long but slim cut. At 6'0", 160 lbs, a medium fits awesome. The sleeves are nice and long (I put thumb loops in mine).It comes in a light color option, and it's even on sale for $59. It's a bit heavier than some at 5oz, but all of that weight is in the fabric which I think is a great balance between weight and durability. It's also on the more breathable side, so it offers good wind protection, full bug protection yet has good breathability and feel. It doesn't feel like plastic like some options. It's something you can bushwack with a bit and not really worry. http://www.mec.ca/AST/ShopMEC/MemberPicks/MensClothing/PRD~5019-388/mec-rd-windshell-jacket-mens.jsp
Edited by dandydan on 02/08/2013 12:55:31 MST.
Another to consider: Rab Cirrus
You should also look at the Arc Squamish. Probably the most breathable option, but not the lightest.
i was going to recommend eddie bauer's scirroco jacket but i can't find it on their site anymore :(
I have a stoic wraith and a CAMP magic anorak, and though I haven't done more than try on the wraith yet, it feels quite 'plasticky' and like it won't breathe very well (for a windshirt, that is). I also have the Rab Boreas, and it's about twice the weight of an ordinary windshirt, but I'd say it's more durable as well, and it's certainly more breathable. Dave Chenault raves about it, and it's featured in his SOTM on windshirts from last fall.That report also discusses breathability a lot, worth a look.
I have an old montane Aero windshirt that weights in at 2.9 oz and is AWESOME, but sadly it lacks hood. I've put that guy through the wringer, and can tell you that its bombproof. I have recently purchased the marmot trail wind hoody that has mesh in the pits and is super breathable, and is incredibly light yet durable. Fit is nice and slim. I weight 185 pounds and am 6'1 and the medium has a nice slim fit. It does weigh a little more because of all the features
Edited by Marty_Mcfly on 02/08/2013 20:56:35 MST.
+1 on Arc Squamish hoody.
Edited by prse on 02/09/2013 15:50:23 MST.
Another +1 for the Squamish.
I own the feathered friends Jackorak and it is possibly my most used piece of gear... It will brush off a LIGHT shower and does well with snow but will wet out with not too much rain... That being said it's a windshirt and not a rain jacket. It is crazy light (3.7 oz I believe) with all taped seams, full length zipper and side pockets. It breaths well. It is not cheap at around $150 though. Combind with a midweight base layer during winter snowshoeing is a perfect combination. I am excited to use it on my upcoming JMT trip this summer...
i may have an old marmot ion in my gear box that i would part w/ on the cheap. lmk if you would be interested and i'd dig through my stuff. it fits the bill on your criteria in OP.
The tachynon anorak probably has the best hood of all windshirts, mine in large also only weighs 2.4oz.It has a lot of adjustments, and has a wire brim, overall very snug fit when cinched.
Yeah, I sadly confirmed that Eddie Bauer is no longer making the Sirocco wind jacket which was by far the best value in the marketplace for a 5oz hooded wind jacket at $50. I called to one of the Stores and they were able to track down some stock in their outlet stores and so I bought one today for 50% off ($25!!!!). That gives me a backup.
I agree that the wraith is what you're looking for. The lightest windshirts tend to be less breathable, but I think the wraith is an exception. Its also cut fairly slim, and its got a streamlined, very compressible design. Keep your eye out on gearswap, or wtb one. I bet one will show up.
I got one on Department of Goods last week, they only had XL in stock at the time, I took a chance with it as normally wear a Large and found it fits very nicely.

WADDINGTON From its walls peppered with paintings and watercolors by local artists, to its Black Forest crepe topped with chocolate mousse and maraschino cherries, Artworks Creperie, 2 Main St., has become a unique stop for travelers along Route 37.
Although owner Mark Scott is not an artist, he does recognize the importance of investing in local talent be it the three employees who craft his crepes or the dozens of artists whose works line the walls of his restaurant and gallery.
As far as I know, were the only creperie north of Lake Placid, said Mr. Scott, who also is the town supervisor. I wanted to create a destination that would bring people to Waddington. Not many people know about Waddington. I am noticing more and more that many people who stop here will often ask me where the local real estate office is.
Its not just the tourists that are noticing. Mr. Scott is this years recipient of the Clarkson University Reh Center for Entrepreneurships Entrepreneur of the Year Award, which recognizes a practicing entrepreneur who demonstrates an unwavering commitment to building their small business and supporting their community.
He now is in his fifth year at Artworks Creperie, which has expanded to include a space for live entertainment, Sunday morning breakfast buffets, a summer dinner menu and more space for artists to display their work.
Employees continue to create new sweet and savory crepes, such as vegetable fete, ham and Swiss cheese and apples and cinnamon Mr. Scotts favorite.
A Russell native, Mr. Scott said he moved to Waddington in 1997 after living in the Binghamton area for more than 12 years.
We decided to move back to the north country because, in my mind, there is no better place to raise children, he said. Its a quiet, safe and rural environment with good schools, clean air and fresh water. When you first drive down Main Street in Waddington and see the St. Lawrence River, its an incredible sight.
It was the river that provided inspiration for Mr. Scotts first business venture, St. Lawrence Boat Tours.
The boat tour company began as a way to invest in the area, he said. I wanted the building fixed up. I wanted to see something good happen and jobs created. Eventually, it became too difficult to keep up. I began searching for business that was year-round, and thats when I came up with the idea for a creperie.
While working on Main Street, Mr. Scott joined a committee comprised of a dozen other residents called the Waddington Redevelopment Association.
The group aimed to revitalize Main Street through private investment and public outreach.
The groups efforts spawned the Clark House project, Waddington Recorder, Waddington Concert Series and gazebo project.
We were trying to engage our elected officials at the time, he said. Thats how I became involved in local government. I started going to all the town board meetings. Eventually, once you start getting that involved, you become part of the process.
After serving on the Town Council for two years, Mr. Scott decided to run for town supervisor. Since he was elected, Mr. Scott said, his main goal has been to bring in economic development.
He will be honored at the Reh Center for Entrepreneurship at Clarkson Universitys third annual Entrepreneur Recognition Dinner beginning at 5 p.m. April 19 at Clarksons Cheel Campus Center.
Marc Compeau, instructor at Clarkson Universitys School of Business, will receive the Entrepreneurs Hero Award at the dinner.
Jeff Taylor, director of the Career Center at Clarkson, will receive the Spirit of Entrepreneurship Award. Alumni Randy Rothe, chief executive officer of ViTEX, Mooresville, N.C., will be inducted into the Clarkson Alumni Entrepreneur Hall of Fame.

CANTON - The turf athletic stadium is at Potsdam Central, but the indoor swimming pool is at Canton.
Potsdam High School has 12 more classrooms and a larger gymnasium, but Canton has a bigger cafeteria and more lockers.
Factors like these and many others are being considered by consultants from Western New York Educational Council, the Buffalo firm hired to study the idea of merging the two neighboring districts into one brand-new school district.
Their recommendation will include which community should house the high school and which should have the middle school. The decision may create controversy on the 28-member Joint Advisory Committee which is made up of 14 Canton residents and 14 from Potsdam.
Committee members were polled anonymously last week by consultants about which community had the better high school facility to house a merged student body. The results werent released at the meeting, but the input is expected to be taken into consideration as the consultants continue their work.
Committee members were asked to share what type of feedback their getting from the public about the merger idea.
John Taillon, of Canton, said people are concerned that families will want to reside in the community that houses the high school because thats where sports games and other extracurricular events will take place.
As a result, the worry is that the community without a high school could see property values decline and few families moving in, he said.
If there is no high school in the community, people are worried about the tax base, Mr. Taillon said.
Building a new high school somewhere in the middle wouldnt make sense because the two districts have enough existing space to house a merged student enrollment, according to the consultants. Given that situation, its also unlikely state officials would approve construction of a new building.
At earlier meetings, the advisory committee came to the consensus that in a merged district, each community would operate their own elementary schools for ppre-kindergarten through fifth grade. One middle school would exist for grades 6 to 8 and one high school for grades 9 to 12. The idea is that one community would house the middle school and the other would house the high school.
Data collected by the consultants focused on highlighting the strengths of the existing high school buildings.
Although the two sites were considered equal in 20 different categories, the Potsdam High School building complex has several advantages compared to Canton Highs facilities, according to the analysis.
Those include 50 percent more square footage and 12 more regular classrooms than Canton. Also, Potsdam High features more options for special education programs such as the greenhouse, sugar shack and woodshop. The high school is a separate, distinct building that provides physical separation between elementary and high school students.
Other Potsdam benefits include a main gymnasium thats 40 percent larger than Canton, with bleacher seating for 1,200 compared to Cantons 760. Potsdam also has a larger fitness center. The outdoor stadium features lighting, a press box, greater seating, outdoor bathrooms and concession stand, more parking, a Varsity baseball field with dugouts and an eight-lane track with jumping pits and a press box. Potsdam is 8.1 miles from the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services Seaway Tech Center, Norwood, while Canton is 19.6 miles away. Students in physical education classes also have access to the Potsdam bowling alley. Potsdam offers a centralized main office with guidance rooms, more outdoor parking and better security access for entry.
The consultants noted some advantages to the Canton building, including a larger cafeteria with available space, although they noted that Potsdam has plans to expand into an adjacent technology classroom. Canton has sufficient lockers for a merged high school, while Potsdam would need to add roughly 100 lockers. Although Canton has a swimming pool and Potsdam does not, the pool is more conducive to elementary and middle school physical education classes, according to the consultants.

Three Ohio families expressed their gratitude to a Fort Drum soldier who aided their daughters following an early morning car crash Easter Sunday in West Virginia.
Spc. Joel A. DiStefano stayed with the three young women, Makaila N. Norman, Reinna R. McPherson and Mallory N. Royster, all 18 years old, after the Chevy Trailblazer they were in rolled over multiple times around 6:30 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 77 near Beckly. The three seniors from Grove City High School in Ohio were driving home overnight from Jacksonville, Fla., where they had spent spring break.
"He may not consider himself a hero, but we do," said Stacy A. Royster, Mallory's mother. "We're sure our daughters do, too."
"Joel was just there," Miss Norman said. "He was like a parent to all three of us."
Spc. DiStefano, 25, who is preparing for his first deployment to Afghanistan, downplayed his contributions.
"There's people that do a lot more than I do," he said. "It was a case of being in the right place at the right time."
Amy L. Norman, Makaila's mother, said she was told the crash occurred when her daughter tried to change lanes because a truck in front of her was spraying water, hindering her visibility. However, there was an approaching vehicle in her blind spot, and when she tried to pull back into her lane she overcorrected and hydroplaned, causing the SUV to roll multiple times.
Miss McPherson was ejected from the vehicle and suffered several deep cuts and a concussion. The other two sustained various head, neck and arm injuries.
Miss Norman said she remembered very little of the crash, from about the time she attempted to change lanes.
"I remember headlights at angles there shouldn't be headlights, then getting out of my car," she said.
Spc. DiStefano, currently on block leave, came across the crash while driving from North Carolina to Huttonsville, W.Va., where he planned to spend Easter. He stabilized Miss McPherson on the ground until ambulance crews arrived.
"He did not leave Reinna's side," Miss Norman said. "She tried to sit up, but he made sure she stayed down."
A pair of toll attendants on their way to work, Kathy Bishop and Stephen Tate, helped to divert traffic around the crash.
With the women's phones lost or damaged in the crash, Spc. DiStefano provided updates and directions to Ms. Royster.
After the scene was cleared, Spc. DiStefano stayed with the girls for several hours at Raleigh General Hospital, Beckly, until they could be reunited with their parents.
"I didn't think the girls being in the hospital alone was a good thing, especially on Easter Sunday," he said. "I stayed there so the parents could be informed."
"We just gave him the strongest hug we could ... we were so thankful," Ms. Royster said.
Spc. DiStefano said his reward was seeing the parents arrive at the hospital and hug their daughters.
He left the hospital around noon to head home.
Miss McPherson was discharged Sunday night after about 12 hours at the hospital.
In the shuffle at the hospital, Bryan F. McPherson, Reinna's father, said he did not have a chance to meet Spc. DiStefano, but said looked forward to an opportunity to do so.
"What an extraordinary young man he is," he said. "It takes a lot of compassion to do what he did."
All three girls are recovering at home in Ohio. Mr. McPherson said his daughter may require a few weeks to recover fully from her concussion. The three girls intend on graduating high school in early June.
The story would likely have ended there, but Ms. Norman called the command at Fort Drum to report Spc. DiStefano's actions. She said she is also attempting to figure out a way to honor Ms. Bishop and Mr. Tate.
"If the good Lord didn't put them there, I know we wouldn't have our girls," she said.
Spc. DiStefano said he was surprised after being called by his superiors asking about the incident.
Spc. DiStefano, an intelligence analyst from the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 3-10 General Support Aviation Battalion, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, will deploy to Afghanistan within the next month. The deployment will be his first.
In addition to making new friends Sunday, he may have landed himself a care package. Ms. Royster said she planned on organizing a shipment for Spc. DiStefano once he settled in Afghanistan.
