State pledges $2 million boost to Civic Center

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS — New York State will be contributing $2 million towards various upgrades at the Glens Falls Civic Center, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Jan. 9 to a cheering audience that filled the Civic Center’s Heritage Hall.

The money will pay for new video scoreboards, new ice-hockey dasher boards, a new floor to sit atop the arena’s ice and removable floor seating for entertainment events and new arena lighting, Hochul said.

“This civic center is so important to the sustainability and vitality of the region,” she said. “And we’re thrilled we can help.”

Hochul’s words prompted a standing ovation from the crowd.

Welcoming Hochul to Glens Falls, state Sen. Betty Little noted that the civic center was important to families in the region — and since it was constructed in 1979, the venue sorely needed upgrades. She thanked Hochul for Gov. Cuomo’s prior grant of $675,000, which paid for a new LED video outdoor marquee sign that now advertises the center’s events, as well as improvements to the arena’s sound system.

“It’s good the Governor realizes Glens Falls is in need of economic assistance,” she said.

State Assemblyman Dan Stec also lauded the grant award as he shared his childhood >> Story Continued | pg. 5

No ice, no fears yet for LG

LAKE GEORGE — Lake George Winter Carnival organizers aren’t panicking about the lack of ice on the lake, as nearly every event planned during the popular festival will still take place at alternative sites around the village.

“Even though the weather report isn’t favorable, it’s okay. There are so many other activities,” said Nancy Nichols, carnival cochair.

For those events, such as the outhouse races, Nichols said they’re working hand in hand with Mayor Robert Blais.

It’s possible the races will be moved to the festival area.

“We’re looking into making snow,” she said.

The last time the outhouse races were moved and snow was brought in was in 2012.

Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel showed up to film the event.

“Sometimes Mother Nature doesn’t like us, but I guess we did okay,” joked Nichols.

The lake is largely unfrozen, with some of the smaller bays beginning to freeze.

“It’s really not that unusual for this time of year,” said Nichols.

She admitted she’s tuned out the weather reports.

“The one thing we need to worry about is wind. As long as we don’t get that, we’ll be good. The wind breaks up any ice we do have,” she said.

The carnival continues through every weekend in February, with the first weekend

Brant Lake ready for Winter Carnival return

BRANT LAKE — A good eight inches of ice had solidified on Brant Lake as of last week and weather favorable for more ice formation was in the forecast.

With that knowledge, organizers were confident that most, if not all, planned events would go on for the Brant Lake Winter Carnival set for Feb. 20.

“We may adapt some activities that are snow dependent,” said Brandon Himoff, carnival chair.

“We’re more dependent on ice than snow,” he said, adding they lucked out with recent rain storms.

“I’m looking at the woods, and we lost some snow, but it’s better than we expected.”

Snow is needed, he said, for ice bowling and curling. “They need some snow to define the lines,” he said.

The carnival returns for the fourth year, turning the work of a small number of volunteers and a modest budget into a real tourism draw and lots of family fun. >> Story Continued | pg. 2

“The Winter Carnival is full of many activities that everyone can participate in regardless of age,” said organizers in a press release. “Our first year headlined with a successful outhouse race, and was joined the second year with an exciting Ladies’ Fry Pan Toss. If you have never seen an outhouse race, it features an occupied and decorated outhouse on skis that is propelled by runners at high speed down a racecourse to outrun its adversary.”

The Carnival is put on with support from the town of Horicon, donation of the facility and preparation of ice rinks by Jimbo’s Club at the Point, private donations and much effort by members of the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance.

More charges for man who brought drugs to jail in prosthetic leg

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

QUEENSBURY —A Horicon man arrested last week for holding a woman against her will and repeatedly threatening her with a firearm for 13 hours at 932 Hayesburg Road, is facing additional charges after attempting to smuggle prescription drugs into Warren County Jail by hiding them in his prosthetic leg, according to police. Terrance L. Seymour lost his leg in a childhood accident, police said.

Seymour, 40, was initially accused of holding his live-in girlfriend against her will and beating her with the stock of a rifle. She was able to flee the house after stating she needed to step outside for fresh air. She then ran to a neighbor and requested that she call 911.

She was treated for her injuries, which included multiple bruises and lacerations, and released.

Police said correction officers at Warren County Jail discovered the prescription drug Suboxone hidden inside the prosthesis. Suboxone is a drug prescribed to patients to kick opioid addiction.

Police said Seymour did not have a prescription for the drug.

Seymour was charged with promoting prison contraband, a felony. He remains in jail for lack of $30,000 cash, $60,000 bond for bail, for the original charges of second-degree assault, a class D felony, criminal possession of a weapon, menacing and unlawful imprisonment. A no-contact order of protection was issued on behalf of the victim, who was not identified by police.

Indigent defense reimbursements could mean $1.5 million for county QUEENSBURY — Proposed legislation requiring state reimbursement to counties for the full amount of expenditures for indigent legal services could mean $1.5 million annually returned to Warren County.

The state currently mandates counties to provide public defense for indigent criminals, as well as some individuals appearing in family court.

JoAnn McKinstry, assistant to county administrator, said the anticipated reimbursement is a projected number, based on the state

168 Saratoga Avenue South Glens Falls, NY 12803 Phone: 518-798-3050 84920

reimbursing 100 percent of the county’s costs.

In Warren County, that takes a team of one public defender and six assistants, all fulltime positions.

The number of cases with the county footing the bill has risen consistently from 761 to 1,020 in the last five years, according to data provided by Joy LaFountain, assigned council administration. That increase in costs prompted a look at privatizing the public defender’s office last year.

A study, however, concluded while the costs did rise, the county is getting more for its money with a public defender system than it would with privatization.

While relief from unfunded mandates has been an issue gaining momentum and seeing some progress in recent years, indigent defense, according to proponents for its reimbursement, has been especially burdensome for smaller and poorer populations. Counties that fall into such categories statistically have more criminals that qualify for the services, while pulling from a smaller and poorer tax base.

Assemblyman Dan Stec is named as a cosponsor on the bill to reimbursement counties for their indigent defense expenses. He did not

immediately return a request for comment.

Man charged with sex abuse of child at Bolton campground BOLTON — A Corinth man is free on bond, accused of sexual abuse of a 7-year-old child last summer in the town of Bolton.

Leon O. Hickok, 63, 345 Angel Road, was arrested and charged with one count of firstdegree criminal sexual act, a class B felony, following an investigation, according to the Warren County Sheriff ’s Office.

Police said the report of sexual abuse against a female victim was received by the department Nov. 12, 2015. The alleged contact took place at a family campground on East Schroon River Road. Hickok is familiar with the victim. Hickok was arraigned in the Lake George Town Court and remanded to the Warren County Jail on $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond. He was released from custody after posting bond. A no-contact order of protection was issued on behalf of the victim.

Hickok is to appear in Bolton Town Court at a later date.

Thurman officials choose Susan Shepler to serve on town board

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

THURMAN — A fifth town board member was named at the panel’s February board meeting to fill a vacancy occurring due to a resignation — yet the board continued to operate at less than full capacity, because councilman Mike Eddy had walked out minutes earlier, protesting the board’s legitimacy, as he did one month prior.

Appointed on Feb. 9 to fill the seat of resigned councilman Daniel Smith was Susan Shepler, who years ago worked for the town as its bookkeeper for a short tenure. Shepler is to serve through the end of 2016 to fill the seat of former board member Daniel Smith who resigned effective Dec. 31.

A 10-year resident of the town, Shepler was employed for eight years as an accounts payable and purchasing clerk for the Croton-on-Hudson School District. She serves as a volunteer with the Warrensburg town baseball, softball and football programs.

Eddy accuses board of impropriety Eddy didn’t witness the appointment of Shepler, as he had walked out of the meeting earlier, saying their meeting was “illegal” because Gail Seaman was serving on the board.

In November, Seaman had run for re-election and received the same number of votes as Joan Harris. According to state public officers law and an opinion provided by the state Association of Towns’ attorney, a tie vote is considered a “failure to elect,” and the incumbent board member continues serving in office until another board member is chosen — either by appointment to the post or through an election to fill the seat.

At the Thurman board’s organizational meeting in January, Town Supervisor Evelyn Wood announced that Seaman was continuing as a holdover board member — which Eddy objected to — and then a vote was taken affirming her continuation, and Seaman cast one of the three Yes votes on the issue.

Eddy contended that the vote was improper because Seaman participated in the vote, and that three valid Yes votes were necessary to make such an appointment, considering that the town board, when full, consisted of five members.

However, Town Supervisor Evelyn Wood said Tuesday that the January vote on Seaman’s “appointment” was merely an affirmation of her continuation, which was guaranteed by town law regardless of the vote by the town board.

Mary Eddy and former town clerk Cynthia Hyde, who ran against Wood in November for the supervisor post, both voiced objections to Seaman continuing to serve.

Hyde also said the board should have chosen Harris to fill the

empty post rather than Shepler. Wood responded that Harris did not submit a letter of interest in the board appointment. Shepler and Debra Runyon had both submitted such letters.

“You only honored the vote of half of the townspeople,” Hyde said.

After being sworn in as town board member by new Town Clerk Jeannie Sprague, Shepler took her seat while the audience at the meeting applauded. With Eddy’s board seat vacant, the board continued to conduct business.

Board forwards legal bill to councilman The board decided, after substantial discussion, to send Mike Eddy a bill for $1,282 to reimburse the town for charges the town is now facing due to Eddy’s inquiries to the town’s legal firm — without prior board approval — regarding the legality of Seaman’s continuation on the board. Last month, the board passed a resolution prohibiting any board member from engaging the services of the town’s legal firm without prior authorization by the full board. Eddy’s inquiries, however, were apparently made before the resolution was enacted. Wood noted that the board had exceeded its 2015 budgetary allocation for legal expenses. A town resident suggested that the town ask the legal firm to deduct $1,282 from the bill because the attorneys should have only conducted their legal research after determining the inquiry had been authorized.

Sprague read a letter from Wini Martin praising the board for containing their annual budget under the state tax cap, which resulted in rebate checks being sent out to property owners.

Later, resident Jim Mosher asked why he and some other residents hadn’t received their checks yet from the state and Wood said she’d learned that the state was sending them out at random times, and all property taxpayers should be getting their checks in upcoming weeks.

New board member John Youngblood reported that with the lack of snow so far this winter, town highway employees were busy painting equipment and trimming roadside brush rather than plowing highways. He also noted he’d contracted a number of prominent regional musical groups, including the Stony Creek Band, Annie & the Hedonists, The Bluebillies and The Lustre Kings, to perform in the town’s summer concert series.

Seaman reported that the town’s Valentines for Vets event was well-attended, and that 112 valentines were delivered to veterans at various area nursing homes. She also noted that the town’s Gleanings program was experiencing a shortage of food supplies that have to date been routinely available for local families in need. Seaman also announced that Thurman’s annual Easter party would be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday March 31.

Wood said that the construction of the concrete slab floor

for the town salt shed would likely start this next week. She also noted that the town would now be accepting a wider variety of materials for recycling, as the town had contracted with a new company to take its recyclables.

State: town fuel tank must be removed Wood also reported that representatives of the state Department of Environmental Conservation had inspected the town premises and determined that an underground heating fuel tank behind the town highway garage had to be removed.

Wood said that it would likely be removed in May and replaced with an above-ground tank.

Also, the board decided to consult with DEC to see whether they could periodically chip brush and stockpile it for either composting or for use by residents as mulch.

After Wood noted the town would be conducting an inventory of town facilities and equipment, Marilyn Youngblood suggested that the town evaluate its long-term facility needs after consulting with local community groups. Wood said it was a good idea, adding that state officials were uneasy that the town justice court was situated in the town hall where other functions were hosted. She suggested that the town might consider acquiring the former Thurman EMS building on High Street to host the town court.

Wood noted that the town had received a LARAC grant of $1,800 through the work of Perky Granger, and the board designated two town events — Thurman Maple Days and Thurman Fall Farm Tour — for promotion through the regional First Wilderness Corridor program.

Jeannie Sprague said that plans were moving forward for Cornell Cooperative Extension holding a series of gardeningadvice sessions in town starting next month.

Joyce Eddy, Mike’s mother, objected to the town fronting money — while waiting on a state grant reimbursement — to develop the first phase of its innovative “white space” broadband network that is now operating. Wood responded that she’d recently completed closeout documents and an “exit interview” regarding the project, and the grant money should be paid soon. Joyce Eddy repeated her objection, and Wood responded that the project expenditures were less than the grant total, and that money was taken temporarily out of fund balance and would be refunded by the state.

At the meeting’s conclusion, Wood said it would benefit the town if Mike Eddy decided to be active on the board.

“I wish he would sit down and work with us,” she said, gesturing to the other board members. “We are all here trying to work together to move our town forward.”

memories of attending many hockey games in the civic center.

“We thank the Governor for his support for what we’re doing here in Warren County,” he said, noting the success of the private-public partnership demonstrated by the Civic Center Coalition that is now operating the venue under a five-year agreement. “The state coming through with this $2 million is a good investment — and it’s needed.”

Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce Interim President George Ferone also joined the chorus of praise.

“We have a long list of projects to accomplish, and we thank you once again,” he said to Hochul, mentioning several other state grant awards to projects in Glens Falls. “We will be a good steward of the money.”

Civic Center General Manager Jeff Mead expressed appreciation for the upgrades, noting they will help the civic center be more competitive.

“This is a great day for Glens Falls,” he said.

EDC Warren County President Ed Bartholomew said he was pleased with the grant.

“It’s rewarding to know that Governor Cuomo remains committed to retaining hockey in Glens Falls and help us make substantial improvements to the civic center,” he said, noting the improvements are scheduled to be accomplished this year. “I’m delighted with the cooperation we’ve had.”

Hochul said that as a child, she visited

Warren County often, vacationing in Lake George. She mentioned her recollections of visiting ice cream parlors in the village.

“I have a fond place in my heart for your spectacular, beautiful region,” she said with a smile.

There ought to be a law

here really should be a law against such behavior and such price gouging.

I’m sure by now you’ve heard about Martin Shkreli, the former pharmaceutical executive who generated national outrage after he raised the price of a once-cheap life-saving pill from $13.50 to $750, an increase of more than 5,000 percent overnight.

Shkreli’s contempt for those in need of Daraprim, a pill used to treat toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease that afflicts people with weakened immune systems, such as those with AIDS and pregnant women, has caused members of Congress to question his motives.

His brief appearance on Capital Hill, showcased perhaps one of the worst and most disrespectful individuals one could possibly ever encounter.

It also exemplifies what many today feel about the pharmaceutical industry that places profits before human needs.

In a memo drafted by Shkreli to investors he stated, “So 5,000 paying bottles at the new price is $375,000,000— almost all of it is profit and I think we will get 3 years of that or more. Should be a very handsome investment for all of us. Let’s all cross our fingers that the estimates are accurate.”

Despite demonstrating his true contempt during the hearing where he repeatedly refused to testify on advice from council, Shkreli appeared genuinely disgusted that he would be forced to appear at the hearing and be lectured.

While being addressed he smirked, made faces, looked away and appeared on the verge of laughter at one point when U. S. Rep Elijah Cummings was speaking. Cummings went on to reprimand Shkreli, saying “It’s not funny, Mr. Shkreli. People are dying and they’re getting sicker and sicker.”

After the hearing, he made it very clear what he thought of the entire process when he tweeted, “Hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government.”

What kind of heartless human being acts like this?

I’m all for free enterprise and free market principles, but when any one company or person puts lives at risk in this manner and chooses to operate to the detriment of mankind, some form of emergency government eminent domain process should be enacted to protect the innocent.

Fortunately, Shkreli’s business practices have led to federal charges as well as many civil lawsuits filed against him.

As enlightened as we may be today if we lack respect for each other and devalue life in the name of making a buck, our culture will be in deep trouble and future generations will sadly pay the price for what we fail to correct today.

Frontier Town again? Here’s an idea ...

H

ere we go again.

Frontier Town is back on lawmaker lips.

Last month, the Essex County Board of Supervisors asked for a price tag on demolition costs for several buildings on the former theme park property which now present a safety hazard.

It’s the beginning of a now-familiar cycle that always ends with taxpayers losing.

Here’s an idea: Essex County should give the property to the Open Space Institute. The conservation group can then help facilitate the transfer of the main parcel to the state for inclusion in an emerging trail network, some 40 miles that will cut through five towns in the central Adirondacks.

The 85-acre complex has been empty since the rodeo up and left town nearly 20 years ago.

Two years ago, lawmakers held a series of task force meetings to hash out a solution.

Marketing the property to a retail outlet was discussed then, as it is now.

But at the time, lawmakers opted against enlisting the Essex County Industrial Development Agency to conduct an economic feasibility study, citing the time length and the strong desire to simply get rid of it.

We all know what happened next: Essex County put the parcel out to bid at a tax auction, declined an offer by a local businessman and the case wound up in court. North Hudson voters added insult to injury by rejecting the town’s purchase through a permissive referendum.

It was a free market exercise that ended in disaster, mainly through wasted time and lost revenue, not to mention hidden costs, like the amount of time county officials spent bogged down combatting an entirely avoidable problem.

If lawmakers sold it to the late George Moore for $60,000, the problem buildings likely would have been torn down by now (And George, being the good LETTERS

DonÕ tÊ takeÊ itÊ outÊ onÊ theÊ clubÊ

To the Editor: In response to Mr. Bedell’s letter to the editor, I would have to agree that there was and is an issue with the abuse of his property. It is unfortunate that it had to come at the expense of the snowmobile club.

The problem with the ATV’s in Willsboro goes far beyond just Mr. Bedell’s property.

Willsboro as a town needs to address this issue.

They are tromping on anybody’s property to get from point A to point B. On more than one occasion, I have been met by four-wheelers screaming down Main Street in broad daylight. It is my understanding that the state police can’t even catch these people.

With that being said, I wish Willsboro would start an ATV club so that they could be called when there is an issue as opposed to it always being taken out on the snowmobile club that asks for land owner permission, has insurance and tries our best to be respectful of the land owners.

As a club, we don’t like the ATVs, as they rut up the trails we work so hard to maintain. We are always open to trying to resolve issues with the land owners. In this case, we put up “no ATV” signs; we offered to put up gates on Mr. Bedell’s property to try to keep the four wheelers out, with which Mr. Bedell agreed that it wasn’t going to work as the four-wheelers would just go around the gates. In the meantime, we have respected his wishes and put up trail closed signs until the issue can be resolved.

Our club maintains approximately 75-100 miles of trail between Willsboro, Essex, Westport, Elizabethtown and Lewis. We do our best to monitor the

businessman he was, probably would have made a profit on it).

But instead, the county is now looking at the costs of hazardous waste removal for a yet-to-be-determined number of buildings that are only continuing to deteriorate.

Is this really the best use of taxpayer dollars?

The county needs to cut their losses and move on. They’re already $200,000 in the hole for back taxes owed on the collection of parcels. There’s no need to add to that sum.

Just think of the options if the state takes the parcel: The former park just off the Adirondack Northway would be the perfect connector with state land holdings.

If the Moore estate could be convinced to part with the A-Frame, the building could be torn down and a welcome center, or even a small museum, could be constructed in the footprint.

Once completed, the property could be a major draw for outdoor enthusiasts.

If the Moore family wants to keep the A-Frame, then that structure also needs to be removed. If they want to build something to augment what the state will do with the surrounding property, much of which are wetlands, even better.

What’s not to love?

North Hudson gets their desired hook-up to the state network; the state gets more open land, the Moore family receives recognition for their family’s contributions to the region, while the county is relieved of a perennial albatross.

We simply do not need another showdown at the O.K. Corral. Hopefully this go-around can lead to a peace treaty — not a gunfight.

Drop us a line on our new Facebook page, follow us on Twitter, or email us at johng@suncommunitynews.com. trails as we can. I think it is unfair to think that we can do that 365 days a year given the large area we cover.

Our club is there to promote all snow travel and find it unfortunate that it is abused in the off season. This should be an eye-opener to everyone that a recreational trail is a privilege, not a right, and needs to be respected for what its intended use is. Hopefully the community can come together to resolve the issues with the ATVs in Willsboro.

AppalledÊ byÊ Albany

To the Editor: I couldn’t agree more with your editorial in reference to “New York: Welcome to the state of authoritarianism.”

Control is what Albany wants and is typical of the democratic party. If there is a way to control an aspect of our lives, they will try to implement it. The SAFE act is another case in point, passed in the middle of the night by Albany democrats unwilling to allow the voice of the people to be heard.

I also couldn’t help but snicker at the cartoon at the top of the same page alluding to Cruz and Trump as poison. The other side has either a liar and thief or an old socialist as a choice. Too bad I’m not much of an artist. I’d make a cartoon about that.

To the Editor: As the event coordinator for the annual Holiday Toy Drive for the past 10 years, I have endured the honor of experiencing the true meaning in the spirit of giving during the holiday season.

Each holiday season, every town in every state across the country has families where Christmas is a stressor rather than a time of joy because the monetary means to provide gifts for under the tree is difficult.

As I can’t speak for every town in every state across the country, I can speak for the North Country region. We are a region of small, close-knit communities who take care of their own. I began the Toy Drive with only a few hundred dollars and financially grew immensely over the years.

I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation the community members and businesses, locally and throughout the North Country Region who have generously contributed over the past decade. I further wish to thank my former place of employment, M&M Diner for sponsoring the Toy Drive for the first eight years and to Connie Drake, of Connie’s Rusty Zipperz Consignment & Thrift Store for sponsoring the Toy Drive for the past two years.

Much thanks and appreciation extended to the following organizations: Au Sable Forks Volunteer Fire Department & Women’s Auxiliary, Au Sable Forks Elementary School’s P.T.O., Matt Parks of Ward Lumber Company and Au Sable Valley Central School’s Booster Club.

I am thankful to the Press Republican, Sun Community News and Jay Online Community News for assisting with the promotion of the Annual Holiday Toy Drive.

As I end my 10-year run, I am confident to the Annual Toy Drive will continue on in making certain girls and boys in our community have a joyous holiday season.

AÊ tinyÊ town

To the Editor: Editor’s Note: The following poem was submitted by Essex resident Jeff Murdock in response to our Jan. 30 editorial board opinion piece, “A tiny town with not-so-tiny problems.”

Two roads, a ferry, and a lake Do not a city make Nor hamlet so I read For hamlets have no churches Nor government to lead But the lovely intersections Of travel wet and dry Are perfect for the village That lives in my mind’s eye Now those who visit, those who stay Are not quite all the same Each has its own perspective Each sings its own refrain The village has old timers And latecomers in its fold Plus an influx of summer folks Who leave when it gets cold

Now toss in all the travelers Who are only passing through Some stop and have a bite to eat And all enjoy the view This mixture of humanity Creates a potpourri Which means within the village People often disagree Of course they hate the winter And warmly welcome summer But when it comes to politics Its glum and even glummer No unifying vision No common cause for all But rather each to owns the cry On Main Street or Town Hall But the village seems to thrive And remain a lakeside treasure For residents and visitors All love it in full measure

SteppingÊ downÊ withÊ gratitude

Jeff Moredock Essex

To the Editor: As the 2015 holiday season marked my fourth and final time as coordinator of the annual Holiday (Christmas) Meal Tote Drive, I leave with enormous feelings of gratitude and humility.

Countless community members, year-round and seasonal, gracious contributors who reside outside of the Adirondacks but hold ties to the area, businesses and organizations were partners with assisting me to prepare and deliver 51 Christmas meals to families experiencing financial difficulties, those enduring a health crisis and to several senior citizens who enjoyed a ham or turkey meal.

I wish to thank the community members and businesses who donated either a turkey or ham, non-perishable food items and/or provided a monetary contribution.

I further wish to thank the following local organizations who provide a donation each holiday season: The Office of the Town of Jay Supervisor Archie Depo, Knights of Columbus/Au Sable Forks Council, Au Sable Forks Volunteer Fire Department & Women’s Auxiliary, the Au Sable Forks Elementary School’s Parent-Teacher Organization and JCEO (Melissa Walton).

Much thanks and appreciation is extended to the following local media outlets: Plattsburgh Press Republican, Sun Community News and Dr. Seth and Trudy Rosenblum of The Jay Online Community News.

In conclusion, as I stand down from my post, I depart with great confidence the annual Holiday Meal (Christmas) Tote Drive will continue. Au Sable Forks is a close-knit community who takes care of its own and the spirit of giving is 24/7.

DonÕ tÊ letÊ JCOPEÊ issueÊ rest To the Editor:

Thank you for your op-ed, “New York: Welcome to the state of authoritarianism.” This is a scary direction for our state government to be taking.

Even worse, from some stories I’ve heard, this attitude seems to stem from our governor himself.

I have heard that employees in the state offices are required to submit for approval any stories, interviews, etc., for approval if the governor’s name is mentioned.

Reason: “The press might see it.”

The governor and his staff seemingly do NOT approve of free speech if it is about them.

Please keep up with this subject: Do not let it rest and disappear.

WWIIÊ combatÊ vet:Ê VoteÊ Trump To the Editor:

The article in the Jan. 30 newspaper by Nadine Battaglia was very good and I hope a lot of people read it.

I am a combat vet of WWII and very turned off about all these murders, rapes, stealing and lying. Much of them from our own government.

This year, vote Republican if Trump gets the nomination.

TheÊ publicÊ misinformedÊ byÊ theÊ Sun To the Editor:

for shame, for shame sun reporters for your abusive use of the writings of Charles John Hufffman Dickens. In last week’s editorial your comparison of Dickens introduction in the “The Tale of Two Cities” with Essex is reprehensible in every sense of the word. In this era of raging acts of terrorism, the Town of Essex is appalled at your lack of propriety and sensibility.

That SUN attack editorial is, as usual, a bore, full of misinformation, self generated issues, misconceptions, and horrible misuse of literary metaphor.

Its language was obviously written by a sociopath. Why do you stay in the pocket of a such a person? Why don’t you have enough journalistic integrity to write your own versions of “yellow” journalism of this lowest form?

As for your strident charges, the editorial contains no less than five misrepresentations, such as claiming your paper had to personally present a FOIA request which you never performed. How can you allege subterfuge in the sale of our vacant Church building sale when we held an open hearing before any sale? Why did you claim that Essex has entered into a shared service agreement with Willsboro when such an action requires Town Board agreement which has not been made? Your use of shoddy journalism must justify your desire to appease a few vindictive persons. Citizens of Essex County if you want full and complete accounts, you may write me at jlafore92@gmail.com, come visit me when I return in Mid-March, call upon any member of the Town Board or arrive at a Town Board meeting.

Lastly, I have always gone out of my way to treat the SUN as if it is a top rated news agency, and in spite of your vitriolic anger because Essex does not love you the way you wish, I shall continue to do so. The SUN should never forget that it is supposed to be a repository for reporting not a haven for failed and unsuccessful fiction writers and favoritism.

Jim LaForest Essex Editor’s Note: We never claimed to “personally” present a FOIL request.

A reporter emailed a FOIL request for the 2016 Essex Budget to Supervisor Ed Gardner and Secretary to the Supervisor Catherine DeWolff on Dec. 8.

DeWolff replied as follows: “All FOIA requests go through the Town Clerk. I will forward this request to her now.” The town complied immediately with providing the 2016 Essex Budget, which was adopted on Nov. 12.

StillÊ gotÊ yourÊ handÊ out?

To the Editor:

Let’s get one thing straight…if you haven’t given up anything for this country, you shouldn’t have a voice. But you do!

Try giving up part of your life for the freedoms you enjoy today. Many of us did! The way Vietnam Vets were treated when they came back to the States; being spit on was enough for me to enlist.

I spent three years of my life in the U.S. Navy. Three years that I was proud to serve. When you’re in the armed forces, you are living under socialism.

Your life is not your own. What have you done?

The actions of the war protesters sent a message to other countries. Let me explain.

When I was in Toulon, France and Naples, Italy in 1974 I wore my naval uniform and was spit on. At the time, I didn’t know why. The only answer I could come up with was that these people watched American demonstrators spit on our American soldiers upon their return from Vietnam.

It saddens my heart to see Americans vote for a president who circumvents the Constitution of the United States. The same Constitution that I was sworn to protect and uphold at all costs. Where were you?

I realize you have the right to vote for whomever you want to vote for, but I’d also like to remind you of who fought for those rights. Did you?

These men and women still exist. They are being treated better by the people, but look at the administration and how they are treating them.

We have lost lives, lives that have ceased to exist. Ask a Gold Star mother or father how to fill the void that will never be replaced. Ask the wives or husbands who continue on without their partner. Last but not least, ask the children who live without a mother or a father.

I would like to quote President Kennedy. “The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it and the glow from the fire can truly light the world.

And so my fellow Americans, Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help. But knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own” Still got your hand out?

Little Bits My favorite restaurants Gordie Little

Columnist

e all have our favorite eateries at home and away. Kaye and I recently spent a month in Kissimmee, Florida and had no problem finding places to chow down. Special thanks to family and friends for gifting us with restaurant cards to aid and assist with keeping my girth near the limit of my belt. For Kaye, on the other hand, bird bites maintained her fighting figure at 94 pounds.

She orders a toasted cheese sandwich with a slice of tomato, along with a cup of soup and brings half the sandwich home for a snack. I order a full-course meal and smack my lips when I lick the plate. Do opposites attract? In our case, they certainly do.

Thanks to our trusty GPS and my unfailing sense of smell when food is being prepared, we had no problem whatever zeroing in on enough restaurants to keep us satiated. Some were old standards while others were new discoveries. Some were wonderful; others were horrendous.

I won’t burden you with a list of the good ones. I’m easy to please. Just bring me meat and potatoes with a nice veggie or a tasty piece of fish and I’m a happy camper. Oh, I appreciated the sauces and the perfect presentation we found along the way, but there were a few disappointments. Most of them had to do with inflated prices.

I had no complaints about the all-you-can-eat buffets. I always got more than my money’s worth. After all, I felt obligated to make up for the teeny portions Kaye put on her plate. Desserts?

Yup—those, too.

We found a Florida version of a Plattsburgh chain favorite just one block from our condo and moved our forks up and down there often. When the service and fare are exemplary, we not only praise the wait staff, but management. We also show our appreciation with generous tips.

We singled out a few upscale restaurants along the way and were generally pleased with what we found. However, on one occasion, we chose what sounded like a steak house. Big mistake.

It took so long for the waitress to explain the meat selection that I took a nap while my stomach gurgled the blues. The wine list had names I could neither pronounce nor afford and I was not impressed with the pomp and circumstance. Entrees were beyond expensive and anything extra, including vegetables, added to the exorbitant tab. Someone at our table ordered butter for his bread and the cost was over five dollars.

I ate my expensive pork chops while Kaye sipped her lobster bisque. We opted out of dessert and drove away singing the blues with lighter wallets. I suppose some diners enjoy that kind of pomposity, but we couldn’t wait to get back to our old haunts in Plattsburgh to order two michigans with.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Not a minute wasted “We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.”

Les Brown said that. The reality of our world today is that thanks to technology, we are more efficient and more productive than ever before.

But there’s a downside: We’ve begun to fill that extra time we have left over with more and more media consumption. According to a new report by ZenithOptimedia, Americans spend an average of 608 minutes each day on their phones, watching television, or browsing the Internet. In the past five years, our Internet use alone has gone up 105 percent. When I ask fellow Northerners what they think of this phenomenon, I seem to always get an answer that is along the same lines: “Well, there’s nothing else to do around here.”

To that, I say: “Yes there is.”

Chris Alley’s new exhibition, “The Science of Fantasy and Miracles,” will be on display at ROTA Studios and Gallery in Plattsburgh until Feb. 19. An opening reception, which will feature live music by Kiki’s Lost Nation and Bren, will be held on Feb. 13 from 6-9 p.m. Admission is free, though a donation is suggested at the door.

On Feb. 18, ROTA will host a Comedy Night. David Heti and Shawn Stenhouse will perform standup from 7-9 p.m. Heti, whose debut album, “It Was Okay,” was released last year, has been hailed as a “deftly subversive” comic by The Comedy Network. When not on tour, Heti teaches comedy writing at McGill University and works as a contributing writer to VICE. Co-headliner Stenhouse is a comedian that defines himself as having “a style that falls somewhere between blithely dry and mildly enthused.” When he’s not performing stand-up, says Stenhouse, he’s either sitting around feeling sorry for himself or working on his webcomic series, ‘Shawn’s Bad Comics.’ Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is on a $3-10 sliding scale. Attendees are encouraged to pay what they can afford.

All Without the Bass will take the stage at Lake Placid’s Smoke Signals on Feb. 13. All Without the Bass is an acoustic pop band based in Plattsburgh. Show starts at 9 p.m. Admission is free.

Smoke Signals will also host Bella’s Bartok on Feb. 18. Bella’s Bartok describes their sound as a combination of “the desperate wail of the blues, the melodic timbre of a choir and the blockrocking beats of your favorite Hungarian dance hall.” The seven piece group is based out of Northampton, MA. Show starts at 9 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, call 518-523-2271.

The Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh will host the Broadway Boys on Feb. 13. The Broadway Boys is a collection of Broadway’s finest male singers. The group features performers from wildly popular shows like “The Book of Mormon,” “Wicked,” “Kinky Boots,” “Motown,” “Rent,” “Jersey Boys,” “Mamma Mia,” “Mary Poppins,” “Hair,” “Altar Boyz,” “Rock of Ages,” “Hairspray,”

The Spike Wilner Jazz Trio will play live at The Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek on Feb. 13. Show from 7:30-9 p.m. Tickets are $15. For more information, call 518-251-2505.

World-renowned Oboist, Matt Dine, will perform at Witherbee’s Carriage House in Schroon Lake on Feb. 20. Dine will be performing a concerto titled “Me, Myself and Albinoni”

by Tomaso Albinoni. This piece was written for two oboes.

For Dine, this is no issue: with the help of modern technology, he has created a show that allows him to play both parts.

Using a large screen, he is able to show a lifesize video of himself playing the second part, while he plays the first oboe part live. This is a unique performance that showcases Dine’s talent as both a musician and a film maker. This performance is underwritten by Witherbee’s Carriage House as part of their commitment to bringing a variety of music to the Schroon Lake area. The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. Seats can be reserved in advance by calling 518-532-9595.

Tenth Avenue North will be passing through Lake George on Feb. 18 as part of their “All the Earth is Holy Ground” spring tour. Hawk Nelson and I Am They will open the show.

Doors at 6:30 p.m., show at 7 p.m. To purchase tickets to the Lake George Forum performance, call 1-800-965-9324 or visit thelighthouseevents.com.

The Champlain Valley Film Series will present the film “Meru” on Saturday, Feb. 13, at 7:30 p.m. at the Whallonsburgh Grange Hall. Billed as a thrilling tale of superhuman perseverance and teamwork, the flick captures the awe-inspiring true story of three mountaineers who attempted to climb an impossible peak in the Himalayas. Tickets are $6. Contact info@cvfilms. org for more information.

On Feb. 13, Fort Ticonderoga will celebrate the season with an 18th century-themed Winter Family Fun Day. Sledding, snowshoeing, and skating will be among many of the activities offered. Tours and presentations will be available to visitors interested in learning about the rich history of Ticonderoga in the winter. The event will last from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Snowshoe tours will be available at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Admission is $10. For more information, call 518-585-2821.

The Mountaineer in Keene Valley will host their fourteenth annual Adirondack Backcountry Ski Festival on March 5-6. Backcountry skiing is a type of skiing on natural snow in natural terrain, and combines all of the elements of touring, climbing and downhill skiing. Guided tours for several ability levels will be available for a limited number of participants on Saturday and Sunday. As part of the festival, Patagonia Ambassador Leah Evans of Revelstoke, British Columbia – winner of the Freeride World Tour and founder of Girls Do Ski – will be presenting a lecture at Keene Arts. Advance registration for all guided tours and instructional clinics will be required.

One hundred years ago – February, 1916 Reader impute In the Feb. 6, 2016 issue of the Adirondack Journal–Sun, I told the amazing story of Rev. Eleazar Williams, born in 1785, supposedly the son of Queen Marie Antoinette and heir to the French throne who, after the royal beheading of his parents in 1793, was mysteriously abducted from a prison cell and ended up living near Lake George, as the adopted son of a half breed Iroquois Indian chief by the name of Thomas Williams. I was indeed happy and gratified to receive an amazing number of calls and emails about this stranger than fiction story and I thank you all. A dear lady from Thurman said that the story was good enough to make a movie about it, which warmed my heart. Thank you Susan!

I felt badly last week when there seemed to have been an unfortunate glitch at the Journal – Sun printing of the story which inadvertently left out the conclusion of the tale. Several callers asked how the story ended as the narration was left hanging in mid-air. Shakespeare could have explained it as a problem some where between “the cup and the lip.” Here is the rest of the story of Louis Charles, the possible lost dauphin and son of a king, who, as legend has it, might have grown up as an adopted Indian boy in Lake George, New York.

Boyhood fades away Young Eleazar was sent to Massachusetts to be educated by Nathaniel Ely. It was of much remark that there was a great difference in appearance in Eleazar, who had blue eyes, light hair and every appearance of being French than that of his Indian brothers. From a wild Indian lad he soon became a bright student and quickly adapted to the prevailing customs.

In 1821 he acted for the government in getting the Wisconsin reservation at Green Bay for the Oneida Indians. Then began his work in the Episcopal Church, which in 1816 brought him to what now is Syracuse and to the Onondaga Indians.

He was ordained in 1826.

After remaining with the Oneidas in Wisconsin 30 years, Rev. Eleazar Williams returned to New York and died in Hoganeburg in 1858. His name became lost in time and his trail grew cold. Nothing ever became of his claim to be the lost dauphin, pretender to the throne of France, about whose mysterious disappearance numerous romances have been

written.

It is a question that now, after 158 years, will probably never be solved. It is interesting, however, to note that if his earthly remains could ever be located, DNA tests might tell us the answer to this intriguing mystery.

Another column, another story In the Jan. 30, 2016 issue of the Adirondack Journal–Sun, in this column I wrote the story of William W. Baldwin, a happily married family man from North Creek who, on Dec. 26, 1915, rode his horse to Warrensburgh, boarded his horse in a livery stable and got on the Trolley saying he was going to Glens Falls. I have never been able to find where he was ever seen or heard from again. He vanished!

Recently there has been much in the news about the mysterious disappearance of deer hunter Thomas Messick who has been missing in theAdirondack forest since Nov. 15, 2015.

Exhaustive searches have been conducted for months but no trace of him has ever been found. He vanished!

On Nov. 24, 1915 Fred “Fritzie” Drumm, 68, a happily married retired man from Saratoga, disappeared from his 170acre farm off Burgoyne Road, leaving his brand new truck and all of his money behind. After a massive search, nothing could be found of him. His wife said, “It’s like he just evaporated.” He vanished!

I remember a special story that I never forgot which I wrote in this column when I first started writing it in 1981 that I never forgot. Around the first part of the 1800’s there was a family that lived in a little cottage in the dense forest surrounding Stony Creek. A mother allowed her little daughter, who was probably around five years old, to walk through the woods to the house of a neighbor. When she failed to appear, exhaustive searches were conducted by the townspeople but no trace of her was ever found. For many years she became a folk tale in that area. She vanished!

There are many people who believe that there is such a thing as a time warp, a third dimension, a twilight zone where

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

few can enter, but some inadvertently stumble into it. Others completely believe in UFO kidnapping. A while back many people laughed at such an idea but now, more and more, such things are believed to be possible. If you are one of the ones who discredit such things, I ask you, where are these people?

Global warming 1916 style On Feb. 3, 1916 lilacs are leaved out and pussy-willows are well started according to the Elizabethtown Post newspaper.

A bottle of grasshoppers are also to be found m in that establishment. Spring evidently comes early in the north country.

Mrs. William Wood picked a few nice pansies from her flower bed in her yard the same day.

Captain A.A. Ross, of Horicon, one of the oldest residents of that town, says that Friday, Jan. 28, 1916 was the warmest day he ever saw in January. The thermometer registered fortyeight degrees above zero at 6 a.m.

(Note – Day after day I hear and read in the newspapers that the government is warning us that we are experiencing terrific man made global warming due to the pollution that human beings are pumping into the stratosphere in the upper part of the atmosphere six miles or more above earth.

Warrensburg Historical Association President Paul Gilchrist has done extensive research on this phenomenon and he agrees that it is a lot of hoop-la that the government is feeding us.

I totally believe that this pollution is responsible for the sickness and illness and possibly cancers that plague our generation. I do also believe, and many agree, that this current global warming, which is indeed very real, is caused completely by fickle old Mother Nature, not our fellow human beings.

Reading many old newspapers over the years leads me to believe that she has done it countless times before, she is doing it now and she will do it again in the future. As the old saying goes, time heals everything and this will also pass.

As harmful as global warming can now be to the earth and its people, it is hard to not enjoy this February 2016 weather.

I am just glad that skiing is not my hobby and I don’t own a fuel oil company.

Fishing pols

W

ith a rash of Presidential wannabes waxing words on the television every evening, it may be time to consider credentials that should be required of anyone seeking to serve as the President of the United States of America.

Americans elected Honest Abe, who actually grew up in a three sided log cabin that looked remarkably similar to an Adirondack leanto, and there’s also Teddy Roosevelt, who was truly a man’s man well before he took the oath of office. He loved “the strenuous life” and sought it wherever and whenever he could.

A big game hunter, explorer and Rough Rider who carried a ‘big stick’ while leading the charge on San Juan Hill; TR was also famous for being whisked off the side of Mt. Marcy in the dead of night following news of the assassination of President McKinley. He was also a rancher, explorer and naturalist who spent summers in the Adirondacks as a teenager, and co-authored the book Birds of Franklin County, NY with H. D. Minot.

There are many other Presidents that were outdoorsmen, explorers and war heros. At the top of the list is John F. Kenney, who rose to the Oval Office on the exploits of his service on PT 49 during WWII. There’s also the brash and confident manner of Ronald Regan, who commanded the Russians to ‘tear down this wall”, in tone of voice that he once used to scare off villans on the Silver Screen. Regan was an avid outdoorsman, and and an accomplished horseman.

American’s want an outdoor President that they can connect with. I suppose it’s the reason we relate to the likes of

The Adirondack Journal Sun • February 13, 2016 | 11

Smiths.

Known as Silent Cal for his brief speeches, he was an avid angler, flyfisherman and a bit of a dandy, who wore a suit, a stiff collar and tie while pursuing the “gentleman’s sport”.

Coolidge, who was known to fish almost daily throughout his administration, regardless of the weather; explained the sport offered relief from the “wearing labor and perplexities of official duty”. He claimed fishing was a true outlet where “..he could cast his public cares aside, but they would come crushing down upon him the moment he put foot on dry land.” In 1902, he offered a public apology explaining, “As far as my attachment to outdoor sports may be considered a fault, I am... utterly incorrigible and shameless.” Sounds like my kind of guy.

Herbert Hoover, our 31st President, was a lifelong angler who claimed “Fishing is a great discipline in the equality of men, because all men are equal before fish!”

Hoover was the ‘reel deal’ who claimed ,“What better excuse could there be to go fishing…to wash your soul, and “Next to prayer, fishing is the most personal relationship of man.” He eventually published two books on the sport, Fishing for Fun and to Wash Your Soul and as well as Remedy for Disappearing Game Fishers, which promoted the protection and conservation of fish and game of game fish.

George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and JFK. Unfortunately, we still expect our leaders to be outdoorsmen in the mold of Roosevelt. Despite a reputation as a hunter, TR was not a sharpshooter. His eyesight was his downfall, as he explained, “I don’t shoot well, but I shoot often.”

It may also be a reason President Jimmy Carter has never been afforded his due as a President and world leader. The end of Carter’s presidency came quickly, and he was a laughing stock. It wasn’t due to the oil embargo, nor the hostages in Iran. It came much more swiftly. I remember hearing the report on the radio; which occurred during the summer of 1979.

With Charlie Daniels blaring on the radio, a news bulletin broke in to announce, “A ‘killer rabbit’ had penetrated the Secret Service’s security perimeter and attacked President Carter while he was fishing on a small pond in Plains, Georgia.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

The news quoted a White House staffer, who claimed Carter Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net. “beat back the animal with a canoe paddle.”

We thought it was a joke, and roared with laughter.

However, President Carter maintained he had been attacked and he actually ordered an enlargement of a photograph to offer to the press as proof of the attack. A White House staffer claimed, “It was a killer rabbit and the President was swinging for his life.”

Despite such Presidential efforts, the press had a field day with the incident which was widely spoofed on Saturday Night Live, The Johnny Carson Show and in an untold number of editorial cartoons.

The press always has a field day when a chief executive takes to the field in an effort to escape the responsibilities of the Oval Office. Often, it is used to get away from the peering eyes of the press.

National Boy Scout Week

Another happy birthday to Boy Scouts of America Pack 31 It’s been a while since there’s been a cub scout pack in Warrensburg School District, but Cub Scout Pack 31, formed just this year, is growing quickly, already counting 20 to 25 boys among its ranks.

It’s an exciting prospect, as Cubmaster Mark McGrath explained, there’s room for many more to join.

“We’ve been doing really well,” he said of the group.

They’ve got a good variety of all age groups, which for cub scouts ranges from first through fifth grade.

A cross over ceremony for their fifth graders will be held in April, as they move up to Boy Scouts.

The group has also been working on their arrow of light badge, the one badge that can move with the scout as they transition to Boy Scouts.

McGrath reported a great turnout for the recent Pine Wood Derby, while the group is also looking forward to the district level derby to be held at Aviation Mall March 5.

The pack will be holding a bottle and can drive Feb. 13. For more information about the fundraiser, or to join or volunteer with the pack, contact McGrath at 969-0068 or committee chair Erin Connolly at 716-9837094 or via preferred method of email at markerintrc31@gmail.com.

Pack 30 Cub Scout Pack 30, of Chestertown, has been led by the same leaders at the helm for the past eight years, and still report the same excitement and energy as a newly formed pack.

They’ve got 34 boys in their pack and just had a great showing at the Pine Wood Derby, as well.

“Every year the boys make them and they always come out different,” said Maria Willette, committee chair, of the boys’ competitive creations.

“They start out with just a block of wood,” she said, noting each boy completes his unique racer at home. “It’s really a wonderful event.”

The boys will soon be launching the annual “Nuts for Scouting” fundraising campaign.

The popular popcorn sales take place in the fall.

Willette said their group is blessed with a lot of parent involvement and community service opportunities.

To join or volunteer with the pack, which meets at the Chestertown Town Hall, contact Maria Willette or cub master Jason Willette at 744-0855. >> Story Continued | pg. 13

Troop 30 Chestertown’s Boy Scout Troop 30 is a highly active group of 15. Committee member Joe Kiewicki said they expect four of the young men to earn their Eagle Scout badges this year.

One of the Eagle Scout projects will restore the gardens at North Warren School, touching on many aspects for the district.

Students at the school learn about growing food, but the produce is also used to feed the children.

The scout will be refurbishing the gardens, improving water distribution and adding deer fencing.

The troop attends a summer camp every year, always at a state park.

Monthly, the boys have outings, such as camp outs, or ice fishing trips.

The scouts meet at North Warren School every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.

To join the troop, contact Bill Jennings, scoutmaster, at 744-8394.

“Or just show up,” said Kiewicki, “We’ll be more than happy to entertain.”

Troop 13 Boy Scout Troop 13 are headquartered out of the Bay Ridge Fire House, but their community service takes them to a variety of places.

One Eagle Scout Project is taking a scout all the way to Haiti, where he will build a cistern for an orphanage.

Another scout is hammering out the details of his Eagle Scout Project will benefit veterans in some way.

“We do a lot of service projects for veterans,” said Nathan Fuller, scoutmaster. The troop is active with the Adopt-A-Soldier program.

Another member has recently completed his Eagle Scout Badge, with the installation of solar powered lights for an American flag at Grant’s Cottage.

The task required clearing of the area and restoration of a deck, as well. Fuller said the project keep the flag lit overnight, eliminating the need for Grant’s Cottage staff to get to the remote location to remove the flag at dusk.

Another Eagle Scout project installed signage at Rush Pond Trail.

The troop is made up of 10 boys, with another three or four currently moving up from Cub Scouts. Together, the boys are planning a deep-sea fishing trip and have a number of camping expeditions in the works.

“That’s the thing I like about the Boy Scouts and their program…The boys are actually running the program. They pick want they want to do..hiking, deep-sea fishing. The decide. We’re training leaders,” said Fuller.

The group meets every other Sunday at 6:30 p.m. To join the troop contact Fuller at 743-9759.

Pack 20 Cub Scout Pack 20 in Lake George had a successful turnout for the Pine Wood Derby.

While they are also gearing up for the district competition, they’ve got a number of fun activities in store. The pack of 17 boys will be making their way to a local vet’s office. In May, they’ll be headed to Upyonda Farm in Bolton.

“We always have outings,” said den leader Joshua Brown. “We’re always up for new kids,” he said of growing the pack.

For more information about the pack, to join or volunteer, contact Dawn Starratt, committee chair, or Greg Starratt, cubmaster, at 793-7346.

Pack 36 Cub Scout Pack 6036 is a very active troop of 15, serving North Creek, Newcomb and Johnsburg.

Erika Patton, cubmaster, reported great participation at the recent Pine Wood Derby, with the boys creating a wide assortment of racers.

The pack is finalizing plans for an upcoming spaghetti dinner fundraiser, so be sure to watch for announcements. You can also find the boys operation a food booth at the North Creek 4th of July celebration.

Because the pack is a younger group, the moving up ceremony will be a little delayed this year.

“It’s nice because we can give the younger ones a little more time to learn,” said Patton of the flexibility to hold their ceremony to meet the needs of the pack.

To join or volunteer, contact Patton at 2514658.

Burghers capture Section II Class D wrestling title

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WHITEHALL — The Warrensburg wrestling team that seemed to have average prospects at the start of the 201516 season has attained another sought-after honor.

Feb. 6, the Burghers won the team championship of the Regional Section II Class D wrestling tournament held in Whitehall, the first time since 2005 they achieved the feat. In doing so, they out-fought 11 other teams from the mediumand small-size schools in the region.

While Warrensburg wrestlers won only one individual championship in the tournament, nearly all of them placed high in the showdown — 10 other Burghers placed in the top four and three others placed fifth, coach Mark Trapasso said.

“We wrestled tremendously — 14 out of 15 of our wrestlers were on the podium Saturday,” Trapasso said.

Warrensburg amassed 217 points, 20 points ahead of runner-up Whitehall-Fort Ann and 40 points ahead of third-place Salem-Cambridge.

Hadley-Luzerne/Lake George placed fourth with 149 points.

Also entered in the tournament were Galway, Duanesburg, Schoharie, Maple Hill, Berne-Knox, Rensselaer, Berlin and Waterford.

The consolation round was key to the team victory, as the Burghers wrestled with determination and endurance despite losing matches earlier in the series, Trapasso said. The coach noted that the outstanding performance by Chris Simpson, a backup entry at 132, may have inspired the other wrestlers to do their part in capturing Warrensburg’s big win.

“Chris didn’t have a winning season record, but he put up a battle with every match Saturday, and he ended up placing fifth in the tournament,” Trapasso said. “He set the tone for us all day.”

The other key ingredient to the Burghers’ win, was that each wrestler avoided pins while amassing 22 pins, which added 44 bonus points towards the team victory.

“I’ve told them all year long — pin and don’t get pinned.

The kids have endurance from their rigorous conditioning, and they did everything right Saturday,” Trapasso said. “They went into the tournament with the mindset they were going to win, they wrestled tough as a team — and they had our victory locked up before the finals.”

Even an opposing coach had lofty compliments for the Burghers. Salem-Cambridge Coach Frank Fronhofer II told Post-Star reporter Pete Tobey that Warrensburg wrestled “phenomenally,” adding that the number of pins they cap-

tured was “unreal.”

Leading Warrensburg’s remarkable team achievement was Sophomore Trevor Winchell who won the Class D tournament championship over Collin Bayer of Galway in the 106-pound class.

Burghers capturing runner-up titles were seventh-grade sensation Hunter McKenna at 99 pounds and sophomore Jack Binder at 220 pounds.

Placing fourth for the Burghers were Zach Davis at 120 pounds, Nolan McNeill at 126 pounds, Greg Shambo at 132 pounds, Dan Monthony at 138 pounds, Trevor Prosser at 145 pounds, Cody Ewald at 182 pounds, Ben Ewald at 195 pounds and Gary Hill at 285 pounds.

All 11 of these wrestlers are headed for the Section II tournament Saturday at the Glens Falls Civic Center. The Class D tournament serves as the qualifier for the upcoming state championship tournament. The three Burghers who placed fifth are alternates for Saturday’s Sectionals.

Trapasso said that his wrestlers’ performance last weekend indicates that in the coming two years, Warrensburg is likely to be one of the top teams in the region, producing a large roster of champions, because his 2015-16 team only has a few seniors and juniors.

“It’s been a tremendous season, and expectations are high for the year ahead,” he said.

WarEagles win three Class D wrestling crowns, other titles

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WHITEHALL — The Hadley-Luzerne/Lake George wrestling team lived up to its lofty reputation last weekend as three of their athletes captured individual championships, and four others took lesser honors at the Class D Section II wrestling tournament held in Whitehall. Jason Hoffman, Mike Sutliff and Connor Spellburg won all their matches Saturday to win first place in their respective weight-classes in the annual regional tournament.

A number of their teammates also demonstrated their athletic prowess — Gideon Jardine placed second, Cody York and Richie Conte took third, Dylan Bachem placed fourth, and Garrett Swift took fifth place.

The WarEagles will be sending Hoffman, Sutliff, Spellburg Jardine, York, Conte and Bachem to the Section II tournament this weekend, and Swift will be available as an alternate.

Seeded first in the tournament, Hoffman, a Junior, pinned Ryan Martin of Schoharie in 3:45 to take the 160-pound class title. In 2015, Hoffman took the New York State runner-up title in this weight class, losing by a decision in the final match.

Early in that battle, he broke his sternum, but kept on wrestling tough through all six minutes. He was then named New York State Division II Athlete of the Year, concluding his outstanding season with a 37-1 record. In 2014, he placed fourth in the state, Coach Jack LaBombard said.

“Hoffman is as strong as a bull, he’s a tremendous hardworker, his offense is well-rounded and his technique is excellent — he reacts well and he puts everybody on their back, the coach said, noting that Hoffman pinned all his competitors in Saturday’s tournament. “He dominates the weight class in the region, and everybody runs away from him — they change weight classes to avoid him. “ Wrestling at 126 pounds, junior Connor Spellburg, seeded third in the tourney, engineered an upset to win his Class D championship by defeating Bryan Kern of Maple Hill, who was seeded higher. Spellburg won with a takedown early into overtime after intentionally stalling and taking on two penalty points in the third period, LaBombard said.

“He’s a strategic wrestler,” the coach said. “When he puts forth his mental effort, he’s really successful.”

In 2015, Spellburg was third in the Class D tournament at 106, and he’s added strength and weight over the past year, LaBombard said, noting he started the season at 138 and dropped down to the 126-pound class to boost his prospects.

Sophomore Mike Sutliff pinned his opponent Matt Ready of Salem-Cambridge in merely one minute into the finals match to win his Class championship at 182 pounds. LaBombard said Sutliff was tough and aggressive, as well as being skilled at reading opponents’ moves.

“Sutliff is as tough as a bull — he’s a strong country wres-

tler, yet he has good ‘mat sense’ and he’s a good student too,” the coach said.

Gideon Jardine won his Class D runner-up honors in the 220-pound class by winning all his matches except the final one, in which he lost a 5-1 decision to Dillan Palaszewski of Galway who placed fifth in the state last year.

LaBombard said Jardine will have another chance to beat Palaszewski in the Section II tournament this weekend. Gideon was 4th last year and 3rd the year before in Section II Division II, the coach said, adding that Jardine has a solid chance of advancing to the state tournament.

“Gideon is one of our top wrestlers,” he said.

Freshman Cody York won a 10-6 decision against Greg Shambo of Warrensburg to win third place at 132 pounds after losing a semi-final match.

Lombombard said York has a bright future in the sport.

“York is very supple and his opponents have a hard time wrestling him,” the coach said. “He’s got his own arsenal of moves and a style of wrestling that works well for him.”

Sophomore Richie Conte decisioned Trevor Prosser of Warrensburg 9-1 at 145 pounds to also win third place. In the semifinals, Conte lost to the eventual champion by only two points in a semifinal matchup.

LaBombard said Conte has gained both strength and experience this past year.

“Richie has developed a good leg attack and he’s great on his feet, so he can take his opponents down fast,” the coach

said. “He also knows how to use leverage well.”

Dylan Bachem, a senior, was awarded fourth place at 170 pounds after losing a 6-2 decision to Ryan Slater of SalemCambridge in the consolation round. LaBombard said Bachem was one of his team’s most improved wrestlers.

“Dylan works hard and he came on strong at the end of the year, ending it with a great performance,” the coach said.

Junior Garrett Swift won fifth place in the tournament.

LaBombard said Swift was strong and had the endurance necessary to wear out his opponents.

“Garrett is in great physical condition and he’s a hard worker,” LaBombard said.

The coach said he was very pleased about his team’s performance, noting that their team score didn’t reflect all the invidual championships won by his middle weights.

Of the 15 weight classes, the WarEagles were only able to fill 10 for the tournament, as their roster is thin in the upper and lower weight classes.

“We had a good tournament,” he said. “I’ve got a great bunch of wrestlers — their work ethic is phenomenal.”

The 2015-16 Lake George-Hadley/Luzerne WarEagles Varsity Wrestling team includes Lake George wrestlers (front, left to right): Kuen McLaughlin, Dominic Crescrente, Ashton Osborn, Max Jenne, (row 2): Garrett Swift, Kameron Collins, Colby Hoolihan, Isaiah Barnet, Gideon Jardine, (rear): Connor Spellburg, Dylan Bachem, Richie Conte, Richard Tasker and Nick Taylor.

Ô Oh,Ê sayÊ canÊ youÊ see...Õ Section VII students honor country at athletic events

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — It’s the staple of every pregame in the country, including here in Section VII. Either before or after the starting lineups are announced, players and fans rise to their feet and honor America with the National Anthem.

Locally, 11 schools have students who have performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” before games, with some starting a new tradition and others carrying it on.

Crown Point Freshmen Emily Russell and Amber PeerLee, members of the Panther cheerleading squad, combine to sing the National Anthem at home games after being approached by music teacher Jeris French.

“I was asked by the boys varsity coach and music teacher if I wanted to,” Russell said.

“I enjoy singing in general, and singing this song is a honor at any game or event. I am happy they would trust me to do this.”

“I was by my locker when I heard Mrs. French talking about it with Emily,” Peer-Lee said. “I heard her say she was looking to ask others and I jumped in and raised my hand. I am proud and honored to perform it.”

Elizabethtown-Lewis Sophomore EmmaLee Turner has been singing the anthem at Lions’ basketball games since she was in seventh grade either as part of a group or alone.

She said her desire to perform the song comes from a childhood dream she still hopes to pursue, most recently occupied by pop singer Lady Gaga.

“I have a dream of singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl,” Turner said. “I have wanted to do that since I was a kid, so it helps to sing as much as I can.”

Turner, who is also a member of the varsity basketball team, has been a part of numerous plays and musicals, and has been a member of the Area All-State chorus.

With all those accomplishments, Turner said singing the anthem is always moving.

“I really like the way the song itself makes me feel because it has such a range,” she said.

“It makes you feel powerful and the words bring that out even more. I feel like I am singing for the whole gymnasium and for my country.”

“It’s great for the community to see these students perform and represent our school and country like this,” Superintendent Scott Osborne said.

Indian Lake At home games in Indian Lake, Alex Mitchell takes to the microphone and helps open every game by singing the National Anthem.

“Alex Mitchell is a senior this year and has been extremely devoted to all things music,” said Indian Lake music teacher Melissa Mulvey. “She participates in both band and chorus, takes piano as an elective, performs in musicals at the school and the Adirondack Lake Center for the Arts, has performed NYSSMA solos, and participates in Spring and Fall CASMA Festivals annually.”

Lake Placid Junior Ashley Chris recently started to sing the National Anthem for the Blue Bomber basketball and hockey home games. She started when organizers of a recent Can-Am hockey tournament needed a singer.

“I had the gist of the Canadian National

Anthem, and they needed someone who could sing both,” Chris said. “Some of the people at school heard me and asked if I would do it for games.”

Chris said she enjoys the reaction from the audience when she performs the anthem.

“I love, after I sing, having people’s faces light up,” she said. “The song always gives off a positive reaction. It is nice to see people connect to something joyful.”

“Ashley Chris sings one of the best national anthems I’ve heard from anyone let alone a high school student,” said LPCS athletic director and boys varsity basketball coach Matthew Walentuk.

Minerva Sophomore Cassie Pratt has been singing the National Anthem before Mountaineer games hosted at MCS for the past two years, while partner Taylor Feiden, a senior member of the girls basketball team, joined in for her final year at school.

“As a little kid I always thought it would be really cool to do,” Feiden said. “It is something I wanted to do before I graduated. It is a great opportunity to be able to do it before games and see people have the chance to hear me sing who may not have. It makes me feel special to be able to do this, and after singing, it takes the nerves off for the game.”

“It started when my music teacher asked the select chorus to perform last year and only two of us showed up,” Pratt said. “After that, I said I wanted to do it for games this year, as well.

It feels good to know the school feels I can do this and represent the school and entire country by singing the National Anthem.”

Moriah Senior Courtney Clarke started singing the National Anthem last year as a backup for then-senior Lauren Cross, who had sang the song for the Vikings for several years prior.

“Lauren always did such a great job,” Clarke said. “I started doing it when Lauren could not last year, so Coach (Brian) Cross asked me if I would do it this year at the football and basketball games.”

“She is also a varsity cheerleader and she does a great job and sang at football games and girls soccer games,” Cross said.

Clarke said singing the anthem gives her added confidence as she seeks to become a professional singer as she moves forward after graduation.

“It’s an incredible experience,” Clarke said.

“It’s something you sing in your bedroom and to have people hear you and appreciate what you do in singing the National Anthem is a big deal.”

Saranac Senior Cassandra Kellaway started singing the National Anthem this basketball season after a friend got her to try out.

“Once it was closer to the day I was supposed to sing, I went and saw Mr. (Brent) Dennis,” she said. “He asked me to sing with the microphone to make sure I was used to singing live and adjust any other technical difficulties we might have. He continued to ask me to take other days of singing, including some of the day which I was not originally scheduled to sing.”

“She has been singing the anthem before games this year and she is great,” Denis said.

“The reason I like singing at the games is because I get to do live performances with singing,” Kellaway said. “I have been a singer since I was young. I always would sing around the house. Then as soon as I was able to join any singing activities with school, I did. My first musical group with school other than the

mandatory music class was chorus in fourth grade. Singing the national anthem at the games allows me to perform, which is one of my many musical dreams.”

While playing as a member of the Minerva/Newcomb Lady Mountaineers is big night for Taylor Feiden, the Minerva senior has another roll at home games: National Anthem singer.

Senior Karinna Williams started singing the National Anthem before football games her freshman year.

“My mom a n d friend Britta-

ny kept telling me I was a good singer and should do it,” Williams said. “They wanted me to do it at the homecoming game my freshman year, and that was my first time. The team liked it so I did it a few more times that year and since.”

Williams said she enjoys hearing the reaction from the fans after the song, and has her own personal reasons for why the song is so important.

“My dad was in the Army so this means a lot to him and to me, also, to get to perform this knowing what he has done for our country,” she said. “The biggest thing is I am always a little nervous about the lyrics, because I know everyone knows the words.”

Schroon Lake Sophomore Wisdom Reel was asked by her music teacher, Anita Masiello, if she wanted to perform for Wildcat games.

“It helps me not to have so much stage fright,” Reel said. “It makes me feel nice they would ask me to do this and represent the school in this way.”

“Wisdom is proud to be chosen and asked to sing the National Anthem as new student this year,” Masiello said.

“I think having students sing is a great way to show support for our country and showcase some of the talents our students have,” athletic director Lee Silvernail said. “I think it takes more courage and mental toughness to sing than shooting a free throw in a packed gym.”

Ticonderoga Sophomore Meegan Shaw is in her second year as the National Anthem singer for football and basketball games, having been picked by the previous singer, Kaitlin Diskin.

“She asked me to take over after she graduated,” Shaw said. “I have been doing it ever since.”

Athletic director Bob Sutphen said he is proud Ticonderoga has such a strong tradition when it comes to having a student sing the anthem.

“I think they are both fantastic,” Sutphen said. “Kaitlin did it for four years because she’s a great kid and great singer. She got involved because her grandfather, Mike Diskin, has been our football PA announcer for almost as long as I’ve been alive.”

“I used to be really nervous at first,” Shaw

said about taking the reigns. “Now I feel like it’s my job here.”

Westport Sophomore Malynda Lobdell started singing the National Anthem at games during her freshman year.

“I was asked by Mr. (Brad) Rascoe, who was the A.D. then, to do it,” Lobdell said. “I thought it would be a fun thing to do before the games and it kind of stuck.”

“During boys home games, Malynda sings the national anthem for the teams and fans,” current Westport athletic director Jim Phillips said. “Much to the surprise of many female players, Malynda, after being introduced as a player on the girls team, takes over the microphone and sings. She has also performed the national anthem for the teams and fans at the soccer playoff games this year.

She always gets a warm welcome and an even warmer applause when she is finished. We are very proud and happy to have her here at Westport Central School.”

“It’s overwhelming in a good way,” Lobdell said about the chance to perform on behalf of the school. “I like the way the song touches people.”

stacked with events that don’t rely on the lake.

“Everything on the first weekend is contingent and can go on land,” she said.

On deck, along with the opening ceremonies, are a parade and s’more making, among other popular favorites.

“We have the chili cook-off in the Shepard Park,” said Nichols. “You can have a nice bowl of chili and look at the lake and the mountains and stay for the fireworks.”

Those fireworks are one of several recurring events attendees can catch every weekend. Other events that can be found each weekend include helicopter rides, polar plunge, Lake George Dog’s Got Talent Show, a make your own sundae event courtesy of Stewart’s Shops, pony rides and face painting.

Glenn Durlacher, of Glenn Tree Art, re-

turns this year for the sixth time crafting the event’s ice formation and will display his skills at ice and wood sculpting.

Durlacher is no run-of-the-mill stump carver, with more than 30 years experience, he’s sculpted centerpieces for many prestigious events, including Hillary Clinton’s senatorial campaign and the First Night New Year celebrations in Albany and Saratoga Springs.

While the winter carnival doesn’t allow time for some of his fine art pieces, make no mistake, what he will create will be art.

He’ll be sculpting both wood and ice and if the weather allows, a snow sculpture too.

Durlacher said his creations will derive from what he decides that day, minus the traditional ice bench.

“The bench ice is going to, most likely, be canine-themed,” he said.

While only the snow portion of Dur-

lacher’s presentation may be a no-go, ice diving demonstrations by Rich Morin’s Professional Scuba Center may have to be cancelled if Mother Nature does not come through.

“We’ve been doing this for eight years,” said Kurt Riley, with the diving company.

“But this would only be the second year if we can’t dive.”

Their demonstrations require guests to gather around while divers enter the water through a hole in the ice — a snow or ice covered parking lot or field isn’t a suitable substitute.

Wagon rides are currently up in the air, as they normally take place on the ice.

Alternative plans can be made, however, for dog sled and helicopter rides.

“It’s not our first rodeo, we know how to adapt,” said Nichols.

Regardless of ice, Alpacas of Breezy Hill Ranch in Salem will be on hand, bringing

alpaca wool products with two or three alpacas on display.

The alpaca products including hats, scarves, mittens, gloves, bootliners and socks are always a hit at the carnival, in particular with visitors who may have underdressed for the cold.

“They’ll just sit right down and put the socks on right there,” said Lisa Proulx, who co-owns the business with her husband David.

For certain, one event that will go on and will have Nichols in attendance is the wish lantern release each weekend.

“You purchase a wish lantern, make a wish, and they all go up,” she said.

So, will Nichols be buying a lantern to wish for ice?

“I’m buying 10,” she said.
