Ball gets
15 years
for killing
Wilbur
By GLYNIS HART
Staff Writer
MALONE — Her murder
conviction overturned in state
Supreme Court, Angela Ball of
Saranac Lake received a new
sentence Friday in Franklin
County Court for manslaugh-
ter: 15 years, with five years of
post-release supervision.
The family
of victim
Ward Wilbur
submitted a
statement to
the court,
which read in
part, “She’s a
horrible per-
son, and she Ball
deserves a
much longer sentence than she
is getting. To protect his mem-
ory we agreed to this deal.”
Wilbur’s family vowed to
protest Ball’s release when she
becomes eligible for parole 10
years from now. “One word
comes to mind to describe her:
evil. She’ll still be a relatively
young woman. ... She’ll have
plenty of time to even kill
another person.” Ball is 33
years old.
They described the relation-
ship between Ball and Wilbur,
who was 65 at the time of his
death, as being “over” when he
came to her Saranac Lake
apartment the night of the
killing.
“He thought he could help
her; he thought he could help
her stay on her medications,”
they said.
Ball was convicted in 2015
of the murder of Wilbur, who
died on Nov. 25, 2013, after
Ball beat and stabbed him. Ball
never denied killing him but
claimed she had acted in self-
defense.
Reading from a prepared
statement, Ball said, “I cannot
apologize enough to the family
and friends of Ward Wilbur.
Ward was the love of my life
and my best friend, but anyone
who is close to him knows
what a double-edged sword
that is.”
Ball described their relation-
ship as veering between vio-
lent arguments and “moon-
beams and fireflies” and said,
“I never should have allowed it
to get that far.”
Wilbur’s sister Carol Hoff-
man of Lake Placid, who was
present at the sentencing, said,
“She expressed no remorse.”
On Oct. 19, 2017, the state
Supreme Court overturned the
conclusion of the first trial. In
vacating Judge Robert Main
Jr.’s sentence, the court wrote
that witnesses and evidence to
support the self-defense justifi-
cation were not presented. Two
sentences, of 20 years to life
for second-degree murder and
20 years to life for first-degree
assault, were overturned.
On Friday, Judge Main said,
“If the first judgement has not
been vacated, I direct that it be
vacated.” In addition to the 15-
year sentence, plus five years’
probation, Main imposed resti-
tution of $6,333.23 and the
obligation to provide a sample
of genetic material to be kept
by the state.

On Intelligence Committee, Stefanik votes to release FBI memo
By BRIAN MOLONGOSKI
Watertown Daily Times
U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Wills-
boro, was among the 13 Republi-
cans on the House Intelligence Com-
mittee who voted in support of mak-
ing public a classified intelligence
memo containing information about
the FBI’s investigation into Russian
meddling in the 2016 elections.
Republicans voted for releasing
the memo despite warnings from the
FBI that it could damage its ongoing
investigation into whether President
Donald Trump colluded with Russia
during the 2016 election
The memo, put together by House
Intelligence Committee Chairman
Devin Nunes, alleges that the FBI

Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.,
and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.,
have characterized the GOP effort as
a politically motivated attempt to
thwart the FBI’s investigation.
Democrats have released their
own memo to the public, but Ste-
fanik voted against releasing it along
with the GOP memo. But she does
support circulating their memo
among all House lawmakers.
In a statement, Stefanik
spokesman Tom Flanagin said the
North Country representative voted
in favor of releasing the memo so
the investigation is transparent to the
public.

By JUSTIN A. LEVINE
Outdoors Writer
RAY BROOK — The state
Adirondack Park Agency board
voted to approve a classification for
the Boreas Ponds tract Friday that
will add more than 11,000 acres to
the High Peaks Wilderness Area,
while keeping more than 9,000
acres as mechanized-recreation-
friendly wild forest.
After more than a year of study
and public hearings, the APA board
voted 8-1 to approve, with the lone
dissenting vote coming from board
member Chad Dawson.
Dawson said repeatedly through
this week’s two days of meetings
and in the past that he was unhappy
with the process of classifying
lands, and he made multiple
requests to agency staff for more
information.
“If there are conversations that go
back to the governor and local towns
many, many years [ago], I wish
there were some way to get them on
the record so we could all under-
stand, so it could be part of the final
decision-making process,” Dawson
said after the vote. “If there were
promises made, if there were some
kind of agreements that were
reached, then we would like to know
where it is and what it means.
“Because it does factor into deci-
sions of land acquisition, and it
therefore should have some place in
classification. To me, it should all be
part of the public record.”
Towns within the Adirondack
Park have veto power over state land
acquisitions, and local town supervi-
sors may be able to extract promises
from the state over how land will be
classified in order to approve the
purchase. Dawson said not knowing
what those promises are may hinder
his ability as an APA board mem-
ber.
On Thursday this week, Dawson
had questions on a larger package of
classifications the APA was voting
on. This package included 99
parcels of land, most of which were
simply correcting small map errors.
But he said discussion by the APA
board should be expanded when a
large classification package comes
up.
“I’d like to see a little more infor-
mation,” he said. “I trust the [APA]
staff, and I know the staff is doing
well in their job, but I need to have a
little information to feel comfortable
when I vote. A lot more on the pub-
lic record, that’s all I’m asking.”
The Boreas plan, known as Alter-
native 2B, was the recommended
plan put forth by APA staff. It would
essentially take the northern half of

“Congresswoman Stefanik is a
strong proponent of transparency
and believes the public has a right to
know about potential FISA abuses,”
he said. “Congresswoman Stefanik

and Committee rules.”
Trump approved the public
release of the memo earlier today.

Great choices for

king and queen
W
ell, of course! Clyde Baker and Nancy
LaBombard are fantastic choices for
king and queen of the Saranac Lake
Winter Carnival. Come to think about it, it’s sur-
prising they haven’t worn the crowns before
now.
The primary attribute sought in a Carnival
monarch — although not the only one — is vol-
unteerism, and these two have sterling records in
that department. They have volunteered in many
various things, invested themselves deeply in
these projects and kept up those commitments
for years on end.
They also bring to these projects a sense of
love and devotion to this place and its people.
That comes across strongly to anyone who works
with them.
Clyde has deep roots in this village. He is a

life. She moved to Saranac Lake on her 29th
Donald Trump gave a notably unify- America’s struggling workers and

birthday in 1986, and though she now lives a
few miles away in Saranac Inn, it hasn’t slowed
her involvement in village life one bit.
Clyde is perhaps best known for his long serv-
ice on the Saranac Lake Central School District
board — nine years and counting, most of that as
the board’s president. Whereas village and town
board members are paid stipends, school board
members are not paid a penny, even though they
are responsible for overseeing a much larger
budget, higher-stakes union negotiations, bigger
construction projects and a more precious com-
modity — our children.
In Winter Carnival itself, Clyde’s involvement
is too long, deep and varied to detail here.
Suffice it to say, he’s been one of the people
who makes it happen for many years.
Beyond that, this furniture store owner has
given his time to the youth center, youth soccer
and ski leagues, the now-defunct Saranac Lake
Business Association, the local Democratic Party
and the Harrietstown Board of Assessment
Review — a thankless but essential job. He is
known as the Thanksgiving delivery man to
many of the people who receive donated holiday
meals from the Women’s Civic Chamber and the
Saranac Lake Adult Center. Any man who is a
go-to helper for Women’s Civic is a worthy vol-
unteer indeed.
As for Nancy, the list of groups and projects
she’s been involved with is a bit mind-numbing,
even to her friends. She was a super-volunteer
ing State of the Union address that
didn’t back down an inch from his con-
troversial nationalism.
This doesn’t represent a contradiction,
but a step toward fulfilling the political
promise of his nationalism, which could
appeal much more broadly than to
Trump’s devoted base.
A true American nationalism should
be grounded in our common citizenship,
champion popular sovereignty and exult
in our history, culture and ideals. It
should the enemy of identity politics. It
should be expressed in first-person plu-
ral, rather than first-person singular.
It should believe government exists to
serve the nation, not the other way
around. Or as Trump put it: “Americans
love their country. And they deserve a
government that shows them the same
love and loyalty in return.”
To say Trump has often fallen short
of these standards is an understatement.
Nationalism is not yelling at rallies,
tweeting inflammatory messages or
insulting political adversaries. It is an
American tradition that runs through
Alexander Hamilton, Theodore
Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan.
The social psychologist Michael
Billig wrote an influential book arguing
that nationalism is part of the air we
breathe as citizens of modern nation-
states. He coined the term “banal nation-
alism” for the routine ways in which we
are reminded of our nationhood —
flags, anthems, etc.
“The metonymic image of banal
nationalism,” Billig writes, “is not a flag
which is being consciously waved with
Lowry

fervent passion; it is the flag hanging
unnoticed on the public building.” To
extend the metaphor, Trump noticed the
flag when other political players neglect-
ed it.
Nationalism had always been part of
conservatism’s appeal, although contem-
porary Republicans lost touch with it
under the influence of libertarianism,
humanitarian universalism and a globe-
trotting business elite. For the left,
nationalism is a swearword — a small-
minded perspective tinged with racism.
This gives Trump running room, and
his State of the Union usefully trafficked
in banal nationalism.
Trump hailed 12-year-old Preston
Sharp for leading an effort to place flags
on veterans’ graves, saying it “reminds
us why we salute our flag, why we put
our hands on our hearts for the Pledge of
Allegiance, and why we proudly stand
for the national anthem.”
How can anyone disagree, unless he
has been cornered into maintaining the
opposite out of outrage at Trump’s inter-
vention in the NFL kneeling protests?
Trump said, “As president of the
United States, my highest loyalty, my
greatest compassion and my constant
concern is for America’s children,
America’s forgotten communities.”
Is there anyone else’s children who
should be his constant concern?
You could hear the teeth-grinding
among Democrats when Trump
declared, in a reference to the DREAM
Act, “Americans are dreamers, too.” The
line had all the subversive, common-
sense potential of saying, “All lives mat-
ter,” when the left insisted it was only
permissible to say, “Black lives matter.”
Immigration is such a flashpoint in
the Trump era because it is the hot-but-
ton domestic policy issue that most
directly involves the clash of world
views between cosmopolitans (who care
most about the interests of immigrants)
and nationalists (who care most about
the interests of people already here).
Trump took Reagan’s old trope of
recognizing exemplary people in the
House gallery and stretched it to its
maximum possible extent. The speech
was almost a long disquisition on ordi-
nary heroes, each illustrating a theme of
the speech. It was a long way from “I
alone can fix it.”
He ended his speech hailing people
from all walks of life, saying that “above
all else, they are Americans. And this
Capitol, this city, and this Nation,
belong to them.”
If he resolved to routinely live up to
the sentiments of the State of the Union,
he’d do himself and our political culture
immeasurable good. Politically, it isn’t
Trump the alleged tool of the Russians
or Trump the budding dictator that
Democrats have to fear most; it’s Trump
the nationalist unifier.

Democratic and Republi-

defeat U.S. Rep. Elise Ste-

elections have a long way to
go to catch up, in terms of

Eagles trying to pull off historic comeback
A
By BARRY WILNER
AP Pro Football Writer
merica loves come-
back stories, the
last-to-first variety
that features new
stars, big plays and a monu-
mental triumph at the end.
That would be the tale of
the Philadelphia Eagles if
they win Sunday’s Super
Bowl.
The oddsmakers don’t see
it happening and have
installed the New England
Patriots — yes, them again
— as 4 1/2-point favorites.
Give Philly its due, how-
ever: The Eagles have a
strong chance of winning
their first NFL crown since
1960 and their first
Lombardi Trophy.
Will they? Read on.
Doug Pederson’s bunch
has shown the resilience of a
champion, losing such key
players as quarterback
Carson Wentz, a strong
MVP contender, left tackle
Jason Peters, linebacker
Jordan Hicks and running
back Darren Sproles to
injuries.
“It’s the next-man-up
mentality,” Pederson says.
“It also means that you have
some veteran players that
keep things together, and
good coaching staffs. I think
it’s a tribute to the players
and everyone involved that
they can keep things going
even through that adversity.”
Philadelphia has not yield-
ed a point in the second half
of either playoff game. It put
31 on the stingiest scoring
defense in the league, and
threw in a defensive TD in
routing Minnesota for the
NFC championship. Its
backup quarterback, Nick
Foles, has been everything
Long Super Bowl halftime forces teams to make adjustments
BLOOMINGTON, Minn.
(AP) — Halftimes in the NFL
are typically a 12-minute
sprint. Players rush back to
the locker room, maybe take a
bathroom break, get a few
words of advice from their
coaches and head back out for
the second half.
That pacing completely
changes at the Super Bowl
when the elaborate halftime
shows lead to a 30-minute
break that leads to more time
for adjustments, distractions
and the need to stay loose.

the 2013 game with

“There’s only so much you
can really do. We have a plan

stay active.”
Eagles coach Doug
Pederson is aware of the
change that he even staged a
30-minute break during prac-
tice on Wednesday to get his
players acclimated to the rare
downtime.
The second part of practice
was not nearly as crisp, which

“That’s why I did the
break, was to put us in that sit-
uation, now we understand
it,” he said. “It was a very
teachable moment for our
guys, our coaches and how to
prepare for the second half of
a football game.”
Smith said after the adjust-
ments that are made, players
might spend the time listening
to music, watching film on
their iPads or even playing
games on their phones.

“You’re so focused that
you don’t worry about all

Dannell Ellerbe, who also
played on the Ravens in the
Super Bowl. “But we did
want to see Beyonce.”
Former Colts receiver Reggie
Wayne remembers listening to

probably the most resource-
ful group of athletes on the
planet. They make big plays,
not only thanks to Brady’s
arm but on a defense that
only recently began getting
the praise it warrants.
Plus, they have all that
experience in the big game,
bringing 31 players back
from last year’s champi-
onship roster.
“We know what to expect,
but at the end of the day,
you’ve got to perform,” line-
backer Kyle Van Noy said.
“So there’s really no upper
hand. You’ve got to just
play the game and get ready
for it and play at a high
level.”
New England doesn’t
always do that in the Super
Bowl. Recall last February’s
first 40 minutes or so, when
it was down 28-3 to Atlanta
before the Falcons stopped
charging and Brady led an
historic rally.
The one consistency about
the Patriots is that they play
close Super Bowls. The total
difference in scoring in
those seven games is 12
points: Patriots 169, oppo-
nents 157.
So do they pull out anoth-
er close one, or does Philly
complete its uplifting saga?
It all comes down to one
thing: which team has

Three years later when
Indianapolis played New
Orleans, Wayne believes the
long halftime played a role in
the Saints victory. New
Orleans started the second
half with a surprise onside
kick and took its first lead of
the game on a TD pass from
Drew Brees to Pierre Thomas.
“It can take the air out of
the balloon of the winning
team,” Wayne said. “If it was
a shorter halftime they might
not have had enough time to
ramp that up. We may not

Trump says research funded by Democ-

Russia-probe
memo proves bias;
Dems say no
WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Donald Trump
declassified a top-secret con-
gressional memo Friday and
suggested it proved the
investigation of his presiden-
tial campaign and Russia
rats in seeking a warrant to
monitor the communications
of a Trump campaign associ-
ate and that federal authori-
ties concealed the full details
of who was paying for the
information.
The disclosure of the doc-
ument is extraordinary since
it involves details about sur-
veillance of Americans,
national security information
the government regards as
what that could mean for
inflation,” said Darrell
Cronk, head of the Wells
Fargo Investment Institute.
The increase in bond
yields hurts stocks in two
ways: it makes it more
expensive for companies to
borrow money, and it also
makes bonds more appealing
to investors than riskier
assets such as stocks.

DO YOU TAKE GREAT ADIRONDACK PHOTOS?

was fatally flawed from the
start. Democrats said the
document did nothing to
clear him or his campaign,
and the FBI called the memo
inaccurate and incomplete.
Butting heads just as they
had before the memo’s
release, Trump and his critics
stuck to the positions they
had staked out in the weeks
leading up to the hotly dis-
puted release of the memo
prepared by Republicans on
the House intelligence com-
mittee. The memo makes
their case — and Trump’s
— that politically motivated
abuses in the early stages of
the FBI’s investigation made
it worse than worthless.
The Democrats, having
none of it, said the four-page
memo merely cherry-picks
Republican talking points in
an effort to smear law
enforcement and undercut
the current federal investiga-
tion by special counsel
Robert Mueller. Rep. Adam
Schiff, the committee’s top
Democrat, said the GOP doc-
ument “mischaracterizes
highly sensitive classified
information” and its release
“will do long-term damage
to the intelligence communi-
ty and our law enforcement
agencies.”
The memo’s central prem-
ise is that the FBI relied
excessively on anti-Trump
among its most highly classi-
fied. Its release is likely to
further escalate an intra-gov-
ernment conflict that has
divided the White House and
Trump’s hand-picked law
enforcement leaders.
US stocks swoon,
sending Dow
down more than
650 points
(AP) U.S. stocks slumped
Friday, and the market suf-
fered its worst week in two
years, as fears of inflation
and disappointing quarterly
results from technology and
energy giants spooked
investors. The Dow Jones
industrial average dropped
by more than 650 points.

handed goal in the first period that gave Saranac
Lake a 2-0 lead in Friday’s game against Lake
Placid.

Placid face each other in
hockey, you can throw our
the records and expect that
anything can happen.
But when the two teams
met up Friday at the Olympic
Center in the opening round
of the Blue Bombers annual
Winter Carnival Tournament,
the Red Storm weren’t going
to have any part in letting
Lake Placid hang around.
In a matchup that also
counted as a Champlain
Valley Athletic Conference
league game, Saranac Lake
dominated from the outset on
the way to a 6-1 victory at the
1932 Rink.
The Red Storm buried
three pucks in the opening
period, tacked on two more
tallies in the second and
added one more early in the
third before Lake Placid
avoided being shutout by
notching a goal with 53 sec-
onds remaining in the game.
Saranac Lake was playing
without two senior forwards,
leading scorer Brett Dawson
and Matt Kratts, but didn’t
appear to miss a beat against
the Blue Bombers, who have
struggled all season and fell
to 1-13 with the loss. Both

Saranac Lake meets up with

Association poll’s top-ranked
team, the Sweet Home
Panthers of Section VI, who

Freshman Rhett Darrah
had a big night for the Red
Storm, finishing with a pair
of goals and two assists,
while Ben Munn, Dylan
Amell, Camden Reiley and
Alex Dukette notched a goal
apiece in the win.

shot count on the scoreboard
to see how well Saranac Lake
time two minutes had expired
in the third period, the Red
Storm owned a 28-2 edge in
shots on goal.
With the game already well
out of reach, the Blue
Bombers finally generated
some offense in the closing
minutes in a third period
where they put nine shots on
net and got one past Saranac
Lake goalie Bruno Freeman
when Lars Kroes buried a
wrist shot from the left face-
off circle.
“I thought we had really
good team chemistry
tonight,” Red Storm head
coach Will Ellsworth said.
“We had to make some major
adjustments due to guys
either out sick or out of the
lineup, as in Dawson. We
moved Dukette up (from
defense) to center on that first
line, and he made some great
plays for us. He’s a playmak-
er and him and Darrah were
moving the puck really well
tonight. Amell he’s always a
playmaker. We got pucks to
the net, we got a good 3-0
lead and our chemistry was
spot on.”
Saranac Lake’s first three
goals of the game were all on
plays where Red Storm play-
ers got past the Lake Placid
defense and basically skated
in all alone on Blue Bombers
goaltender Anders Stanton.
Munn netted the game’s first
goal 4:29 into the opening
period, and Amell then upped
the lead to 2-0 just 45 sec-
onds later with a short-hand-
ed breakaway goal. Reiley
rounded out the first-period
scoring at the 12:15 mark
when he collected a pass
from Darrah and beat Stanton
on the doorstep from the left
side of the net.
Darrah scored both of his
goals in the second period for
Lake Placid goalie Anders Stanton dives while attempting to cover up the puck while Saranac Lake
players Ryan Savage (8), Ward Walton (2) and Heaton McCormick apply pressure. Also defending
on the play for Lake Placid is Hunter Wilmot.

a 5-0 Red Storm lead, and
Dukette notched Saranac
Lake’s final goal at the 3:00
mark of the third.
After facing just one shot
in the first and another in the
second period, Freeman
finally had to do some work
in the third. He stopped seven
shots in the stanza before
Kroes fired a wrister under
his glove on a goal that at
least lifted the spirits of the
home fans. Freeman was
called on to make one more
save before the final buzzer
sounded. The Red Storm
sophomore finished with 11
saves, while Stanton made 29
stops on another busy night
between the pipes. Stanton
also picked up an assist on
Kroes’ goal along with
Hunter Wilmot.
““We just couldn’t com-
pete tonight,” Lake Placid
head coach Butch Martin
said. “We didn’t have any
movement. We didn’t really
have anything to get us going.

Annual building
As the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Ice Palace walls rise, the crane and other heavy machinery become indispensable.

of the Ice Palace

T
he weather cooperated, the ice froze and many
hands came together to build Saranac Lake’s
famous Ice Palace in the week before Winter
Carnival.
Dean Baker, who’s in charge of the project, said
there are between 100 and 110 steady volunteers
who help build the palace. Two crews from Moriah
Shock Camp also contribute heavy lifting during the
weekdays.
“This is my 36th year,” Baker said. “There’s peo-
ple who have been here 40. We’ve got a good store
of knowledge.”
The work is divided so well that although it looks
like people are swarming all over the Ice Palace,
nobody bumps into anybody and nobody loses time
wondering what they’re supposed to do.
First, one man runs the circular saw, cutting into
the thick lake ice about 6 inches deep. Then two more
use a long handsaw to cut the rest of the way through
the 15-inch block.
Using a “spud,” a long-handled tool with a claw on
one end, workers then push the ice into a channel. A
backhoe equipped with a claw lifts the ice blocks out
of the water and sets them in the bucket of a tractor,
which then drives the ice block near the palace wall.

Being ice, the blocks are uneven.
“We set a level on them,” Baker said, “then chip or
shave them down.”
Caperton Tissot, who got involved in the building
seven years ago, said there’s more to ice than you
might think. The author of “Adirondack Ice” started

Tread lightly: Ice thickness can be deceptive

Adirondack
Gadabout
By Joe Hackett
tahawus@northnet.org

I
’ve been enjoying some of the
season’s best ski conditions in
recent days. The deep woods
currently retain a deep, firm
snowpack that allows skiers and or
snowshoers to go just about any-
where.
While the bulletproof base
makes for fast travel, there is still
enough powder to slow down the
pace, especially in the upper ele-
vations. In addition, the firm con-
ditions make for outstanding ski-
skating across the lakes and ponds,
which are still sporting a secure
top hat.
However, travelers are advised
to stay clear of riverbanks and
stream beds, as I recently discov-
ered. Over the weekend, I enjoyed
a long tour up and over the shoul-
der of Scarface, where the only
tracks evident were not human.
I spent the better part of the day
following in the furrows left by
otters that had been sliding off
high banks along the streams. It
was as if I had discovered a hill-
side of miniature bobsled runs,
and I took full advantage of the
situation before the warm sun soft-
ened the firm, fast crust.
The small streams and brooks
are currently sporting a fascinating
collection of ice jams and flooded
lands. The shore ice is inviting,
especially for the volume of tracks
that the fresh snow has captured.
Although the ice-covered flows
present an attractive scene, don’t
make the mistake of attempting to
cross them. I nearly made the

Despite rumors, cougars are officially extinct in eastern U.S.

By JUSTIN A. LEVINE
Outdoors Writer
After nearly a decade of debate
— and decades of rumors — the
eastern cougar has officially been
declared extinct and will be
removed from the list of endan-
gered species later this month.
In a press release from the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, the fed-
eral agency said that eastern
cougars have likely been extinct for
decades, and as such there is no
need to protect them under the
Endangered Species Act.
“Accounts suggest that most
eastern cougars disappeared in the
1800s, killed out of fear for human
and livestock safety and were vic-
tims of massive deforestation and
overharvesting of white-tailed
deer, the cougar’s primary prey,”
FWS wrote in the release. “The last
records of eastern cougars are
believed to be from Maine (1938)
and New Brunswick, [Canada]
(1932).
“The removal of the extinct sub-
species from the endangered
species list will take effect
February 22, 2018. Extinct ani-
mals and plants cannot be protected
under the Endangered Species Act,
which is meant to recover imper-
iled wildlife and plants and their
habitats. Additionally, under law,
the eastern cougar listing cannot be
used as a method to protect other
cougars.”
The FWS says there have been
some confirmed sightings in the
northeast over the decades, but
those animals were not eastern
cougars. Rather, they were individ-
uals expanding their territories
from out west or were of a different
subspecies, such as the Florida pan-
ther.
“During a 2011 review of the
subspecies’ status under the ESA,
and subsequent 2015 proposal to
delist, no states or provinces pro-
vided evidence of the existence of
an eastern cougar population, nor
did analysis of hundreds of reports
from the public suggest otherwise,”
the FWS wrote of its decision.
“While many suspected cougar
sightings are probably mistakenly
identified bobcats or other animals,
cougars do occasionally occur in
eastern North America, but they are
cougars of other subspecies: either
Florida panthers, animals dispers-
ing from western populations, or
animals that have been released or
escaped from captivity.”
The most recent confirmed
cougar was a male that walked
from South Dakota in 2011 and
was hit and killed by a car in
Connecticut. However, the
Adirondacks were once home to
the big cats — also known as
mountain lions, catamounts, pumas
and ghost cats — and traces of
their presence are found throughout
the Blue Line and across the north-
east.
Panther Mountain, which over-
looks Piseco Lake near Speculator,
is named for the cats, as is Panther
Gorge in the High Peaks and
Catamount Mountain near
Wilmington.
The declaration that cougars are
extinct in the northeast will not
have an effect on the state
Department of Environmental
Conservation. The DEC has pages
for most of New York’s native ani-
mals detailing life history, ecology
and management actions. But the
DEC web page for eastern cougars
includes an additional page that is
more like an episode of Myth
Busters than a lesson on flora and
fauna.
“Eastern cougars (mountain
lions) do not have a native, self sus-
taining population in New York
State,” according to a DEC web
page titled “Eastern Cougar
Sightings.” “They have been
absent from this state since the late
1800s; however, there have been a
few isolated sightings. Each sight-
ing involved cougars that are not
native to New York. A couple of
sightings involved captive moun-
tain lions that escaped from
licensed facilities in New York
State.”
The DEC says it gets numerous
reports of cougars each year, but
that it will only investigate
instances where tracks, scat or pho-
tographic evidence can be provid-
ed. There is a long line of photo-
graphs of cougars that the DEC
debunks as being from New York,
but the agency itself isn’t immune
to the rumor mill.
“Rumors have been circulating
for the past few years that the DEC
has released cougars to control deer
populations,” the DEC says. “Some
of these rumors claim that Officer
‘Jones’ participated in the release,
or that people have actually seen
cougars with ear tags or neck col-
lars, so they must have been
released by the state.
“This is not true. The DEC has
never released cougars, despite
what you may hear to the con-
trary.”
Despite their apparent long
absence from the northeast U.S.,
the cougar could once be found
almost anywhere.
“Once the most widely distrib-
uted land mammals in the Western
Hemisphere, cougars have been
eliminated from about two-thirds
of their original range,” according
to the FWS. “Only western
cougars and Florida panthers still
live in large enough numbers to
maintain breeding populations.
Historic accounts and observations
of western cougars and Florida
panthers provide biologists with
information for the cats that once
lived east of the Mississippi.”
Florida panthers are considered a
different subspecies than the east-
ern cougar, and are still federally
protected under the ESA.
“The Service’s removal of the
eastern cougar from the endan-
gered species list does not affect
the status of the Florida panther, a
separate cougar subspecies listed as
endangered, and all other cougars
that may be found in Florida, which
are protected under a ‘similarity of
appearance’ designation to aid in
protection of the Florida panther,”
the FWS said in a press release.

Abby
By Abigail
Van Buren
aka Jeanne
Phillips
DEAR ABBY: My sister is
planning a destination wedding
this summer. Recently she had
a courthouse wedding for
health insurance purposes
because she’s going back to
school.
I am the matron of honor. She
is still planning her destination
wedding because she won’t
consider herself “really mar-
ried” until the formal ceremony.
I told her I didn’t feel com-
fortable throwing a bachelorette
party since she’s already mar-
ried. She was fine with it.
I thought a lingerie bridal
shower would be nice since
they have been living together
for some time and don’t need
Horoscopes
By Holiday
Mathis
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Just because it doesn’t
make sense doesn’t mean it’s
not the truth. And what is truth,
anyway? A law? A balance?
Something in accordance with
reality... but whose? The point
here is to keep an open mind.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Procrastination is tempt-
ing, but maybe it would be less
so if you knew unequivocally
that you could mend the situa-
tion within a few hours. Well,
you really can!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
The good news is that any
resistance you are experiencing
on the way to your goal is self-
created. The bad news is the
same. Have a chat with your-
self about giving up the fight.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). The classy way is to show
ding? I feel it should be light-
heartedly disclosed on the
bridal shower invitation that
they are already married. Is this
OK? — JESSICA, MATRON
OF HONOR
DEAR JESSICA: If you
wish to throw a lingerie shower,
I think it would be sweet. Her
friends would probably enjoy it.
But to disclose on the invitation
that your sister is already mar-
ried — lightheartedly or not —
would be in poor taste.
DEAR ABBY: I have never
had a good relationship with my
father. He was extremely abu-
sive and controlling when I was
growing up. Regardless, I have
tried to maintain a relationship
with him — albeit a superficial
one — now that I’m an adult.
For the past few years, Dad
has been seeing a woman my
age. I have tried my best to
maintain a relationship with her
as well. The problem is, they
up with enthusiasm. Cynicism
might seem to signal intelli-
gence, but what it really signals
is a choice of focus, nothing
more, nothing less.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Oddly, it will be easier to win
at big things than at little ones.
Both are significant, though.
You might find yourself chang-
ing your mind about what’s big
and little, too — a sign of
maturity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Sign up to compete. Competi-
tion will be fun — not because
you’ll win but because you’ll
do your personal best, which is
the kind of win everyone loves
to cheer for.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Wacky suggestions and oddball
requests abound. Take a breath,
and continue to be your usual
supportive self. After you’ve
let everyone contribute to the
work at hand in his or her own
way, you’ll get yours.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.

same role, but you’re different.

Foil the rust

DEAR HELOISE: To keep
metal scrubbers from RUSTING,
wrap them tightly in foil. This will
keep them fresh and rust-free. —
Felicia Fox, via email
Felicia, that’s a good idea. Anoth-
er option is placing the metal scrub-
bers in a plastic bag and storing it
under the sink in a bowl. —
HELOISE
MUFFIN MAKING
DEAR HELOISE: I was making
some ham-and-cheese muffins this
morning, and my dry buttermilk has
by Eugene Sheffer

a tendency to get lumpy. (I use dry

because it keeps longer than the liq-
uid form.) I used my coffee mill to
grind it. This worked perfectly. —
LINDA V., VIA IPHONE
IS IT EDIBLE?
DEAR HELOISE: I will buy
what I assume to be fresh ground
beef at the meat market and put it in
the refrigerator, not the freezer.
When I take it out to use a couple of
days later, it will have a dark color.
It doesn’t smell bad, but the dark
color gives me pause. Is it safe to
eat? — GARY S., VIA EMAIL
Gary, when meat turns brown, it
usually means that most of the
blood has seeped out, but if it’s still
pink in the middle of the meat and
does not smell bad, it’s generally
safe to cook and eat. — HELOISE
COPPER CAPER
DEAR HELOISE: I inherited
my mother’s stainless-steel pots and
pans with a copper bottom on the
outside. That copper has turned
black over the many years it was
used and washed. How do I remove
the discoloration of this copper and
make it shine again? — KAREN
P., GODWIN, N.C.
Karen, here is my favorite
method for cleaning copper: (1)
Make a paste of 1 tablespoon of salt
and 1 cup of white vinegar. (2) Stir
in a little flour and keep blending
until you have a thin paste that will
adhere to the copper. (3) Cover the
copper area with the salt-vinegar-
flour paste and let it sit for 15 min-
utes to one hour. (4) Rinse in warm
water and soap, and polish with a
clean, soft cloth. WARNING: All
decorative copper items should be
washed only in warm, soapy water
and dried thoroughly. Never use an
abrasive cleaner on these items,
because you’ll probably remove a
protective layer of lacquer. —
HELOISE
SLOW DOWN THOSE
BANANAS
DEAR HELOISE: I put clear,
wide shipping tape around the stem
of a bunch of bananas to greatly
slow their ripening. — MARY H.,

Heart risk associated with some breast cancer therapies

By MARILYNN
MARCHIONE
AP Chief Medical Writer
Save your life but harm your
heart? Health experts are sounding
a warning as potential side effects
of a growing number of breast
cancer treatments come to light.
In its first statement on the
topic, the American Heart
Association on Thursday said
women should consider carefully
the risks and benefits of any thera-
pies that may hurt hearts. Not all
treatments carry these risks, and
there may be ways to minimize or
avoid some.
“We want patients to get the
best treatment for their breast can-
cer,” said Dr. Laxmi Mehta, a
women’s heart health expert at
Ohio State University who led the
panel that wrote the statement.
“Everyone should have a conver-
sation with their doctor about
what are the side effects.”
There are more than 3 million
breast cancer survivors and nearly
48 million women with heart dis-
ease in the United States.
“Most people with breast can-
cer fear death from breast cancer.
Even after they survive that, they
still fear it,” but heart disease is
more likely to kill them, especial-
ly after age 65, Mehta said.
Here are some questions and

CDC director resigns over financial conflicts of interest

By MIKE STOBBE
AP Medical Writer
NEW YORK — The director of the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
resigned Wednesday over financial conflicts
of interest involving her investments in
health care businesses.
Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald’s complex financial
investments presented conflicts that made it
difficult to do her job, according to a state-
ment from the Department of Health and
Human Services, which oversees the CDC.
In an ethics agreement filed in September,
Fitzgerald had said that legal and contractual
restrictions prevented her from selling the
two investments.
A new HHS head, Alex Azar, who took
office on Monday, accepted her resignation
Wednesday, effective immediately.
Fitzgerald’s investments were “limiting
her ability to complete all of her duties as
CDC Director,” HHS spokesman Matt Lloyd
said in the statement. “Due to the nature of
these financial interests, Dr. Fitzgerald could
not divest from them in a definitive time peri-
od.”
Fitzgerald’s resignation follows a news
report Tuesday that her financial manager
bought tobacco and drug stocks after she
took the job in July, while selling other
stocks that posed a conflict of interest.
Before she became the CDC’s chief, she
owned a range of stocks, including holdings
in beer and soda companies, the tobacco
company Philip Morris International, and a
number of health care companies. She said
she sold the stocks, but in December, U.S.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) wrote
Fitzgerald saying she was concerned about
the unresolved financial holdings.
In the ethics agreement, Fitzgerald dis-
cussed long-term investments in an electron-
ic medical records company and a biotech
startup that focuses on early cancer detection.
She said in the agreement that she would not
participate in matters that might affect those
companies. Those investments prevented her
from talking about cancer and prescription
drug monitoring programs, Murray wrote.
On Tuesday, Politico reported that a month
after becoming CDC director, Fitzgerald’s
financial manager bought new stocks, includ-
ing shares in Japan Tobacco and the drug
companies Bayer and Merck & Co. Those
stocks were later sold, Politico reported.
Fitzgerald could not be reached for com-
ment. Her predecessor, Dr. Tom Frieden,
said he talked to her after the Politico story
came out, and Fitzgerald told him she didn’t
know about the purchase of the stocks when
they were made.
†”I have spoken with Dr. Fitzgerald and
believe her when she says that she was
unaware that a tobacco company investment
had been made, she understands that any
affiliation between the tobacco industry and
public health is unacceptable, and that when
she learned of it, she directed that it be sold,”
Frieden said in a statement.
Fitzgerald, 71, was a longtime OB-GYN
in the Atlanta area, a former major in the
U.S. Air Force, and campaigned twice,
unsuccessfully, as a Republican candidate for
Congress in the 1990s. She led Georgia’s
state health department for six years before
being tapped for the CDC job.
Fitzgerald kept a low-profile in the job.
She said she wanted to spend time learning
about the agency, but also acknowledged a
financial conflict of interest kept her from
appearing at a Congressional hearing on opi-
oids in early October.
She was appointed by Dr. Tom Price, who
was a Republican congressman from Georgia
before Trump picked him to head HHS. Price
resigned in late September after his costly
travel on chartered planes triggered investi-
gations and angered Trump.
Murray issued a statement Wednesday
after Fitzgerald’s resignation.
“It is unacceptable that the person respon-
sible for leading our nation’s public health
efforts has, for months, been unable to fully
engage in the critical work she was appoint-
ed to do. Dr. Fitzgerald’s tenure was unfortu-
nately the latest example of the Trump
Administration’s dysfunction and lax ethical
standards,” Murray said.
The CDC, the nation’s top public health
agency, is the only federal agency headquar-
tered outside of Washington, D.C. It has
nearly 12,000 employees, and about three-
quarters of them are based in the Atlanta
area.

High-energy drinks vs. sports drinks

First with Kids
mend? Sport drinks should
be used only during physi-
By Dr. Lewis First

P
arents have been
thirsty to ask me
whether or not high-
energy drinks or
sports drinks are good for
their children. Let me
quench everyone’s thirst
and provide some informa-
tion on this topic.
Sports drinks may be
beneficial to children who
participate in prolonged
vigorous physical activity.
Examples include long-dis-
tance running, biking or
high intensity exercise like
soccer or basketball. Sports
drinks are not necessary for
the casual athlete, who
should turn to water
instead.
While these drinks con-
tain vitamins and minerals,
they’re also full of carbo-
hydrates or sugars. Carbs
and sugars can be an
immediate source of energy
when the body’s stores are
becoming depleted from
physical activity. But if
your child drinks them as
part of a meal or not after
exercise, they could cause
weight gain.
High energy drinks, on
the other hand, are full of
sugar and caffeine. Some
have as much caffeine as
one-to-three cups of coffee.
That much caffeine can
lead to jitteriness, nervous-
ness, headaches, difficulty
sleeping and frequent uri-
nation. Paired with sugar,
that much caffeine can also
increase the potential for
dental cavities and weight
gain. Large amounts of caf-
feine can increase heart
rate, blood pressure and
even result in hallucina-
tions and seizures.
While you might think
high energy drinks would
improve sports perform-
(Photo provided)
ance, they actually do just
the opposite. Caffeine can
make someone urinate
more and become dehy-
drated rather than hydrated.
So what do I recom-
cal activity and high-ener-
gy drinks should be avoid-
ed entirely for children and
teens. But that is easier
said than done. At most, a
teen should consume no
more than one high-energy
drink a day. They should
avoid drinking these at
night or they will have
trouble sleeping.
Do you want to know the
best way for a teen to excel
on the field and in the
classroom? Make sure they
get enough sleep, eat a
well-balanced diet, and
stay hydrated — with
water.
Hopefully these tips will
energize you to talk with
your children about the
pros and cons of sport and
high-energy drinks.

O
FAMILY FEATURES
live oil is a flavorful and versatile
cooking oil that is often trusted
in popular cooking methods such
as sauteing, stir-frying, dressing,
marinating and grilling. It can also earn your
trust when it comes to baking.
With seven olive oil varieties to fit almost
any need, each Filippo Berio olive oil has
its own distinct color, aroma and flavor
characteristics. Among those seven, the
Extra Light Olive Oil offers a delicate aroma
and subtle flavor that can complement your
favorite baked goods. Its high smoke point
helps keep those goodies moist, and with
strong flavors like chocolate, it also lets the
sweetness come through.
Additionally, it provides high levels of
mono-unsaturated fat (“good” fat) and low
levels of saturated fat (“bad” fat), making it
a more nutritional choice when compared to
butter or margarine. Because you need less
olive oil than butter in baking, you’ll save
calories as well.
One easy way to incorporate olive oil in
your baked goods is during the prep work:
where recipes call for buttering or flouring
pans, instead brush the pan with olive oil and
dust with flour for the same effect as butter.

oil at filippoberio.com.
