The pipes (and drums) call to Stony Creek couple

YMCA kicks tires on community coffeehouse series Adirondack Center venue for open mic event

Wife follows husband into pipe and drum brigade

BRANT LAKE | The second of three Community Coffeehouse open mic events scheduled to be held at the YMCA Adirondack Center was staged Feb. 17, drawing local musicians and music fans. Dan Smith, who performs maintenance work at the Adirondack Center, said he was given permission to host the event at the center. “It’s not an official YMCA event,” he said. “They allow us to use the space.” The event series is tentatively scheduled for one Saturday afternoon per month through March. With hardly any advertising, organizers drew 21 people, including eight performers. “We would like to see how much enthusiasm there is for this,” Smith said, saying he would like to be able to host the program every third Saturday of the month. The coffeehouse drew at least three kids, and seven to eight seniors at the January session. » Coffeehouse Cont. on pg. 7

STONY CREEK | When Patty Dann first met her husband John on a blind date, she probably didn’t imagine it would lead to her learning to play a snare drum let alone marching in parades with the Galloway Gaelic Pipes and Drums. But that’s exactly what happened. Patty didn’t say she fall for John Dann because he was a bagpiper, but it didn’t hurt. She said she became fond of the sound of bagpipes as a child growing up in the Buffalo area. “We met, kind of, because of bagpiping,” Patty said. John would play gigs at bars, and through a series of friends and working relationships, they were set up together on a blind date by Horicon Councilman Ken Higgins. That was between 10 and 11 years ago.

The website remained devoid of details on Sunday. Local lawmakers are growing frustrated. “I’ve heard absolutely nothing,” Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Shaun Gillilland told The Sun. “It’s very disheartening to be jerked around like this.” Broadband, he said, is the lynchpin to economic development in Essex County.

Andrew Cuomo last month in Plattsburgh will cover 122,285 locations statewide, including $103.5 million for six providers to connect an unspecified number of North Country units. “Phase 3 municipal data will be available soon,” said Jason Conwall, a spokesman for Empire State Development, the state agency that oversees the Broadband Program Office, on Feb. 16. Once the municipal data goes live on the agency’s website, people will be able to see the awards broken out by every village, town,
