Temporary housing not a viable solution

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ It may not be readily visible, but many experts agree that there is a homeless crisis in the North Country.

Officials at the Clinton County Department of Social Services say the homeless population is somewhat fluid, so it is hard to get a perfect count, but say that at any given time it ranges between 70 and 120 people in the county. In August it jumped to 189 people, which included 35 singles and 102 families.

According to Starr Burke, Principal Social Welfare Examiner at the Department, the

ROUSES POINT Ñ The canal schooner Lois McClure made a stop in Rouses Point recently, on its summer-long tour of historic places surrounding the War of 1812.

The meticulously restored canal schooner, a project of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, has stopped in 32 communities in the United States and Canada this summer on their educational outreach mission.

Launched 10 years ago, the Lois McClure is a painstaking recreation of two schooners, one from New York and one from Vermont, which were found at the bottom of Lake Champlain near Burlington. Over its lifetime, the Lois McClure had traveled over 1,000 miles this summer and has been boarded by a countless number of history buffs and curious onlookers alike. Ò Our purpose is to deliver history,Ó said crew member Art Cohn. Ò We share that story, and weÕ re about to go north to share it with the communities there.Ó When the shipwrecks were discovered, they shared an unusual feature. Canal schooners in the United States were towed by steam ships on the open lakes, and pulled from the shore in canals, but these wrecks were different. They had equipment on board that would indicate that they had at some point been CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Owens says he ‘reluctantly supports’ arming Syrian rebels

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com WASHINGTON Ñ The faint drumbeats of war started on Wednesday, Sept. 17 when the House voted to authorize the training and arming of Syrian rebels to confront the militant Islamic State of Syria and Iraq, or ISIS, after last weekÕ s request by President Barack Obama for support.

The 273-to-156 vote, which comes with a $500 million price tag, included a yes vote from Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh).

Shortly before the vote, Owens told reporters in a conference call that he Ò reluctantly supportsÓ President Obama and expressed concern over reengagement with boots on the ground. Ò ItÕ s important for Congress to act on this issue and reclaim some our constitutional authority,Ó he said during the call. Ò There are no good outcomes. Training Syrian rebel groups could become problematic. This is a situation where we have to act. Bombing is appropriate, but absent some evidence, IÕ m opposed to boots on the ground.Ó Following the vote on Wednesday afternoon, his office released the following statement: Ò ISIS represents a barbarous and dangerous threat to the United States and the world and we must take swift decisive action to stop it,Ó it said. Ò Congress has a constitutional responsibility to define the scope of our response to this threat and I am pleased that our vote today has reaffirmed this precedent.”

Owens, who is retiring at the end of his term in January, said while the vote advances AmericaÕ s national security, Congress must remain engaged and be mindful that the actions approved today don’t lead the country further into a broader conflict in the region. Ò To that end I strongly support efforts to work together with other nations, especially those nations facing an imminent threat of violence from ISIS.Ó

Owens cautioned that the American public should be Ò keenly awareÓ of the possibility that any group the United States funds, trains and equips for the current conflict could shift loyalties and come into conflict with American interests in the future. Ò However the imminent threat posed by ISIS leaves us without any preferable options at this time.Ó CANDIDATES CHIME IN Aaron Woolf, a Democrat who is running to replace OwUS Rep. Bill Owens ens, said he agreed with the Congressman, who has endorsed his candidacy. Ò There are no good choices or outcomes here,Ó Woolf told reporters on Wednesday. Ò The burden falls heavily on the district.

We do have to get our allies, including Turkey and Saudi Arabia, in this and our actions should be strong coordination with our allies.Ó Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello said President Obama and Congress are in violation of the Constitution.

In a statement on Wednesday, he said Authorization for the Use of Military Force is outdated and of dubious legality.

The grounds behind the Obama AdministrationÕ s measure is the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force against al Qaeda following the Sept. 11 attacks.

Critics have called the legal argument implausible because that declaration was against al Qaeda, not ISIS, a splinter faction that is actually at war with al Qaeda themselves.

Earlier this spring, before ISIS routed Iraqi Military Forces and

established control over a wide swath of the country and compromised IraqÕ s border with Jordan, Obama asked Congress to narrow the 2001 AUMF or even consider phasing it out.

Funiciello said the McKeon Amendment also violates the Leahy Law, which prohibits arms exports to countries and groups that violate human rights, as well as the Arms Export Control Act, which requires arms shipments to foreign nations to be used only for internal security and legitimate self-defense. Ò I hope Elise Stefanik and Aaron Woolf will join me in condemning these unconstitutional acts that only serve to weaken our civil liberties and strengthen the chaos overseas that leads to terrorism,Ó he said in a press release. Ò No matter who is elected to Congress from District 21 in November, voters deserve to have a Congressional representative who pledges to uphold the Constitution through words and deeds.Ó 911 CONTROVERSY Funiciello came under fire earlier this week for comments he made expressing dissatisfaction with the official account of September 11, calling it a “horrific and nonsensical fairy tale.”

On Wednesday, Woolf hammered him: Ò ItÕ s incredibly offensive that anyone would allege our government had a hand in detonating those buildings,Ó said Woolf. Ò On a political level, itÕ s incredibly outrageous.Ó Ò Those kinds of thoughts and his expression of opinion was totally outrageous, offensive and disqualified him from anything to do with foreign affairs,Ó said Owens. Ò What is offensive is OwensÕ continued backing of illegal, unconstitutional foreign wars,Ó responded Funiciello on Twitter on Wednesday. Ò Sad he thinks thatÕ s ok.Ó He elaborated on Thursday: Ò Bill is the irresponsible one. ItÕ s amazing that a sitting congressman would criticize a third-party candidate for his intellectual curiosity.Ó Elise Stefanik did not respond to requests for comment on this article.

Cheese Tour to highlight three small-scale local creameries

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com UPPER JAY Ñ Within dark mountain caves quietly ripen one of the North CountryÕ s more interesting growth industries: Cheese.

While big names like the Chateaugay-based MaCadam have put the North Country on the map when it comes to the dairy biz, three small-scale creameries have sprouted in Essex County within the past half-decade.

The threesome, North Country Creamery at Clover Mead Farm in Keeseville, Asgaard Farm and Dairy in Au Sable Forks and the Sugar House Creamery in Upper Jay, will open their doors on Sunday, Oct. 12 for a daylong driving tour.

Adirondack Harvest Coordinator Laurie Davis, the tourÕ s sponsor, said the uniqueness in small creameries comes with the pared-down size that allows them to emphasize the local through small batches of different varieties.

WORD OF THE DAY: Ò AFFINAGEÓ Cabot and McCadam produce their cheese from milk derived from cooperatives across the North County, a process that results in a more standard, across-the-board flavor.

But the products created by smaller operations are dependent on variables unique to their environment, like soil content, climate and the diet of the animals.

All three creameries on the tour have cheese caves that also influence taste and nutritive value.

Sugar House Creamery co-founder Margot Brooks said the natural microorganisms present in milk contribute to the flavor.

Once milk from their flock of Brown Swiss cows is salted, brined and pressed, Brooks and her partner, Alexander Eaton, deposit their haul in an underground cave.

Cheeses are then turned weekly and their rinds washed with a natural solution designed to help cultivate the aforementioned microorganisms which create flavor through the process of breaking down fats and proteins.

Brooks says this process allows for a flavor that is not possible on an industrial scale.

Since their launch in December, Sugar HouseÕ s focus is on developing natural brines, a process called affinage.

Originally hailing from the eastern Swiss Alps, Brooks said milk from the Brown Swiss is perfect for cheesemaking, resulting in a thick, Alpine-style product that the pair chose, in part, for its hardiness.

Their signature cheese, Dutch Knuckle, is what would traditionally be made in the mountains of Europe. Ò This is the one we think echoes the place where we are,Ó said Brooks.

She said each cheese varies, with the softest being a 10-day newbie. All age together in the same cave.

Brooks said sheÕ ll illustrate the process, alongside a peek at the cows themselves,, from patrons during the tour. Ò YouÕ ll get a full idea of how our operation works.Ó The Clay Hearth, a Keene-based pizza start-up, will also be on-site making pies topped with their products. Ô NUTRITIOUS AND PUREÕ Ashlee Kleinhammer runs KeesevilleÕ s North Country Creamery with her partner, Steven Googin. The duo began 18 months ago when they took over the Clover Mead Farm from a retired farmer. Ò I wanted to combine my passion for cows with the desire to start a local creamery,Ó said Kleinhammer. Ò It was already set up.

Adirondack Harvest will host their first annual Essex County Cheese Tour on Sunday, Oct. 12 in which the public is invited to tour three local creameries, sample their products and learn more about the emerging industry. Pictured here are products from the Sugar House Creamery in Upper Jay. Photo by Pete DeMola

We just had to learn and pair that with our passion to serve high quality and nutritious food.Ó Their facility produces eight cheeses and three yogurts from their herd of 18 grass-fed cows.

The increased amounts of Omega 3 ensure the most nutritious and purest product, said Kleinhammer.

North Country Creamery is unique in that theyÕ re a CSA program, or community-supported agriculture, that provides products for its members through paid memberships. Doing so allows producers to share the risks and benefits with shareholders.

Kleinhammer and Googin pride themselves on their Camembert, which they age up to four weeks. On-site, they boast a cafe and bakery that is fast developing a buzz for their paninis topped with apple Camembert and homemade jam.

The Vermont native said the potential for growth in the North Country is significant, with excellent soil and a well-traveled location thatÕ s far enough away from an oversaturated Vermont market to make for a fresh concept. Ò This is a great community of young farmers,Ó she said.

SNOWBALL EFFECT The Asgaard Farm & Dairy in Au Sable Forks are seasoned vets, having established a creamery on their facility in 2008 after two decades of ownership.

Rhonda Butler and David Brunner moved to the area in 1988 at a time when the region was still fairly sleepy on an agricultural level. Ò We had a feeling that the farm had a lot of possibilities and potential,Ó said Butler.

AsgaardÕ s products are derived from goats, a development stemming from their daughterÕ s hobby. Ò They bond with humans and are a pleasure to be around,Ó said Butler. Ò Our interest and affection for the animals led to a snowball effect.Ó

Goat cheese isnÕ t as far removed from sheep, which contains dramatically different milk solids and fat content.

Their operation boasts a speciality of chevre, soft ripened cheeses, aged raw-milk feta and tomme.

Butler and Brunner will be joined on Oct. 12 by Paul SmithÕ s chef Chef Kevin McCarthy, who will be on hand to serve gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches with assistance from his students.

Davis said she hopes the event will become an annual mainstay. Ò I think these creameries are well-receiving and growing,Ó she said, Ò and I think itÕ s something people are going to embrace.

We’ve seen a real boom of new and young farmers trying to fit into the local economy with self-sustaining and local businesses.Ó All three creameries expressed desire to diversify their portfolios and New York has pledged their full support.

Artisanal cheese, in particular, is a fast-growing sub-set, with at least 125 producers located across the state. Ò WeÕ re very lucky to have three right here in Essex County,Ó said Davis.

Joe Morrissey, a spokesman for the New York State Department of Ag and Markets, said by streamlining regulations and promoting the work that the dairy industry does through programs like Taste NY, the industry is running on all cylinders. Ò We are now the third-highest producer of milk in the country and we rank first in the production of yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese and cottage cheese,Ó said Morrissey in an email. Ò We have a great working relationship with New YorkÕ s huge dairy industry and we look forward to helping it grow further in the future.Ó Essex County Cheese Tour: 10:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m, free. Participants may visit any or all of the creameries in any order during the time span.

Food Co-op celebrates Fourth Annual Non-GMO Month

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH - This October, North Country Food Co-op, along with nearly 1,000 other natural food stores across the U.S. and Canada, are taking part in Non-GMO Month, celebrating the publicÕ s right to choose foods and products that donÕ t contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Ò I think that people should eat whatever they like, and weÕ re not really pushing for people to avoid GMOs if they donÕ t want to,Ó said Matthew Hall, member and outreach coordinator for the North Country Food Co-op. Ò Our stance is that GMO products should simply be labeled as such so that people can make an informed decision about what they are eating and where it comes from.Ó Ò CO-OP CELEBRATIONÓ On Saturday, Oct. 11, the North Country Food Co-op will be donating 5 percent of their overall sales to the Non-GMO Project. Ò It takes time and information to learn how to be savvy nonGMO shopper,Ó said Carol Czaja, general manager of the North Country Food Co-op. Ò As a consumer-owned store, part of North Country Food Co-opÕ s mission is to educate and inform our member, owners and customers about major food issues such as GMO foods.Ó The North Country Food Co-op is a member owned natural

foods cooperative and grocery store where anyone may shop and become a member. Ò The co-op offers a wide variety of non-GMO choices year round, and weÕ re always willing to engage in discussions on the topic with our customers,Ó Hall said. Ò We have drinks, pastas, produce, candies, bars [and] grains.Ó The co-op began in 1917 as a buying club, and it eventually evolved into a vital business in downtown Plattsburgh that promotes sustainable communities and businesses, organic and fair trade practices and local growers and artisans, something that most of the businesses part of this month does. Ò NON-GMO MONTHÓ Ò Right now, the FDA does not conduct safety studies on GM foods [because] it leaves that up to the companies that make them, [and] many people are not even aware that they may be eating GMO foods because there is no mandatory labeling,Ó Czaja said. Ò All month long there will be a public educational and awareness campaign, which will include handouts, how to recognize foods that may contain GMOs, how to identify non GMO food and what else as consumers we can do to avoid GMOs.Ó Organized by the non-profit Non-GMO Project, Non-GMO Month provides a platform for citizens and organizations to stand up for the right to know whatÕ s in their food and to choose nonGMO.

Eva Stachniak to visit CEF library luncheon

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Internationally Bestselling writer Eva Stachniak, author of Empress of the Night, The Winter Palace, Garden of Venus, Necessary Lies and other works, will be the featured guest at the CEF Library SystemÕ s Literary Luncheon Meeting Friday, Nov. 7 at Lake Forest Senior Living Community. The program is seeking help from literary enthusiasts throughout the area to help defray expenses associated with Ms. StachniakÕ s visit and make the cost of this not-to-be missed event accessible to everyone. $500 is needed to help cover the authorÕ s travel fees and purchasing her books to be signed for the collections of our member public libraries. The cost per plate for the luncheon event will depend on the amount of donations received. More details about this event can be found oncefls.org. If anybody prefers to send a check as a donation, mail it to CEF Library System 33 Oak Street, Plattsburgh, NY and note Ò Author EventÓ in the memo line.

Throughout October, shoppers will be able to find Non-GMO Project verified choices featured at nearly 1,000 Non-GMO registered retail stores.

On the Non-GMO Month web site, people can search the events calendar, find retailers, get involved in the Non-GMO Month Challenge and learn more about the Non-GMO Project. Ò NON-GMO PROJECTÓ The Non-GMO Project is a non-profit organization committed to preserving and building the non-GMO food supply, providing verified non-GMO choices and educating customers on the dangers of GMOÕ s.

GMOs , or genetically modified organisms, are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses and other animals and plants.

These environmental combinations of genes cross the natural species barrier and have not been proven safe. Studies show a connection between GMOs and an array of health risks and environmental concerns, such things brought to attention with help by the Non-GMO Project.

Because of this, many food companies and manufacturers are now labeling their offerings with the non-GMO emblem, a monarch butterfly that signifies the product has been verified, which means the item has completed a rigorous review process by the project. Ò People should support this project because it promotes transparency, and we all deserve to know whatÕ s in our food,Ó Hall said. Ò Food is one of the most important things in our lives [because] we put it into our bodies every day, so we should know where our food comes from and how it is made.Ó

The Burgh Editorial

It’s deja vu all over again

W

ith a bill passed that will arm rebels in Syria and bombs beginning to drop in Iraq, it feels like the early 2000Õ s in the Middle East all over again, except this time, itÕ s a group called ISIS in the crosshairs. If the US doesnÕ t rethink its approach to this part of the world, this Ò warÓ is all weÕ ll ever know.

The late Hunter S. Thompson was better known for his illegal-substance-fueled Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas than views on foreign affairs, but shortly after four commercial airliners flights’ ended in terror in New York City, Pennsylvania and Washington DC, Thompson took to his ESPN column Ò Hey RubeÓ on Sept. 11, 2001, and said this: Ò The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War nowÑ with somebodyÑ and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.Ó Thirteen years later, the words are perhaps more chilling. There is a generation now who, in their teens, havenÕ t lived in an America not at war. President Barack Obama has made attempts, with little success, to distance the nation from the turmoil in the Middle East, but to what end? This isn’t the kind of conflict from history books, with a beginning, middle and end, but one that continually evolves.

Unlike the Sept. 11 attacks, the catalyst of the most recent turmoil in the Middle East has been, at least on the surface, ISISÕ widely disseminated beheading of American journalist James Foley.

This isnÕ t to say our nation is at war over the murder of one American man and a family tortured by the public nature of his death, but it certainly provided a spark.

The bigger picture, though, is the message sent from the startlingly well-funded extremist group. ISIS had been making news priorÑ in late June, it claimed to be a Ò stateÓ of all Muslims in the world as it spread with force into IraqÑ and the Foley killing and those to follow were used to illustrate its stance. (ItÕ s worth noting that many Muslim groups and religious leaders have denounced ISIS, claiming its radical actions to be Ò unIslamic.Ó ) On Sept. 9, Steven Sotloff, another American journalist to fall victim to ISIS, was killed. In the video posted by the state-slash-terrorist group, a masked individual addressed Obama with this message: Ò Just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.Ó A week later, the president spoke up, giving some idea of how the US would Ò destroyÓ ISIS. His vow to fight ISIS has come in the form of Congress giving bipartisan approval to arm and train Syrian rebels in their fight against Islamic terrorists, a $500 million measure.

Congressman Bill Owens was one of 273 to vote yes for the measure to arm the fighters, citing “imminent

threat of violence.Ó Those very words echo the drafting of the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), which has given our last two presidents carte blanche to use force, across borders, against not only those suspected of playing roles in the Sept. 11 attacks, but Ò to prevent an act of international terrorism against the United States...Ó The AUMF was directed toward al-Qaeda (and any suspected associates), a group that disassociated itself from ISIS earlier this year, technically distancing ISIS from the billsÕ scope. However, a second drafting in 2002 pertained to Iraq, resulting in a gray area of whether it can be used in this conflict.

Though Obama took the bill through Congress, he said in a Sept. 10 speech that he has Ò the authority to address the threat from ISIS,Ó implying that heÕ d use the AUMF to justify continued air strikes or other military action beyond the funding of Syrian rebels.

Obama, prior ISISÕ emergence, has been a vocal opponent of the AUMF and has said he wanted it repealed.

On top of that, thereÕ s been the added issue of whether arming the Syrian rebels is itself an unconstitutional act.

While ISIS may be growing dangerous enough to warrant concern, the governmentÕ s ways about policing the Middle East should be raising a number of red flags.

The War on Terror has become an expensive and deadly cycle. For every attack or perceived threat, America has played judge and jury, and every time it does, it gives religious extremistsÑ the Taliban, al-Qaeda, ISIS or whoever is next in lineÑ reason to threaten and attack.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul said after the bill was passed that Ò America should only go to war to win.

We shouldnÕ t go to war sort-of-meandering our way through a spending bill.Ó If only this war was a winnable one. Even if America was able to scrub ISIS from the map, the collateral damage would give rise to another group seeking retribution. The political and military strategies at play now will keep the US firmly entrenched in the region for years to come.

Thompson, foreseeing a Ò religious war,Ó had this to add in his column over a decade ago: Ò We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or what will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possible all three at once. Who knows? É This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteedÑ for anyone...Ó Add ISIS to that list and it could have been written today. No wonder the sense of deja vu.

Perhaps, one day, a generation of Americans will know peace, but it doesnÕ t appear the path to that end is one the government is treading today. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Editorial hit the mark To the Editor: Your editorial board hit it right on the head with the Bridge/ Ferry piece.

Stick with it. Continue to discuss it. Reach out to politicians & find out why there hasn’t been discussion of a Cumberland Head/Grand Isle bridge.

Pester & persist. Make it a consistent theme within your Ò On the StreetÓ segments. Run cartoons about it. The press has the power to push for positive changes within their communities.

This subject could be your paperÕ s major coup.

Empty phrases To the Editor: How pleased Republican Party officials and Republican voters must be. Once more their opponents are dividing energies, splitting votes and guaranteeing Republican majorities.

Shades of the 2000 presidential election!

Much good Mr. Ralph NaderÕ s platform that year has done for Americans not to speak of Iraqis. And here we are again. There goes Howie Hawkins and there goes Matt Funiciello and golly gee if Ralph Nader, a little grayer but not much wiser isnÕ t right there at their side.

Ò Majoritarian values donÕ t transcend to public policy,Ó Mr. Hawkins pronounces, meaninglessly. He is pushing something called the Ò Green New DealÓ which, he says, includes tax relief for the working class, affordable housing, a $15 minimum wage and a single payer health care system.

Hooray ! How great ! All this will presumably be made into law by a Republican Party whose even greater control of Congress our three thinkers are helping to insure.

Constructive reformers wanting to change the course of local and national politics make themselves heard between elections.

Change is hard, painstaking, year around work. Ask the womenÕ s movement; the civil rights movement; the gay and lesbian movement, the labor movement. Movements all. Spouting empty phrases and meaningless platforms on Election Day moves nothing much more than a candidateÕ s mouth. And it can do a lot of damage.

Style & Substance: On cell phone etiquette at home and at work Dear style & substance, Cell phones are everywhere. I am a person who has embraced technology, I like that we can communicate so easily.

I suppose my problem is not really cell phone use, it is cell phone etiquette. Maybe I am too sensitive but I am uncomfortable listening to friends and strangers discussing personal issues openly and without regard to others who are nearby and may not want to listen. Is there a polite way to make this stop?

We wholeheartedly agree, we have become a culture of free sharers. Privacy has been redefined by a new generation of technology users and we believe, etiquette has not quite kept pace with technology. PeopleÕ s lives have become stories that are lived openly and of the moment. Twitter, Instagram, Snap Chat, Vine, FacebookÉ .. the list of ways we communicate is endless and ever changing. Good manners never go out of style, they just need to be realigned with the times! We have seen whole tables of people in restaurants where each person is highly engagedÉ . on their cell phone!!

What this really causes as far as your/our emotions goÉ is the feeling of being unimportant, left out and not hip enough (to have so much going on).

Start where you live. Set acceptable use of technology in your home. We at style & substance have a rule of no cell phones/ screens at the table. That rule extends to restaurants as well as our homes or the homes of others. This rule helps us to focus on the present moment and connect with people who have gathered

around the table.

You can extend this policy to include your personal technology use around others. Conduct a self-checkÉ ..do you sneak a few texts or voicemails while driving, do you use your phone while spending time with others, either a quick check or constant checking of text messages.

You may find that your behavior subtly sets the stage for those around you. We have found that people take cues from one another, if you set the stage, others will often follow.

But, what if they do not. Again, take the lead. If you lead meetings in the workplace you can respectfully ask prior to the start of a meeting that cell phones be put away for the duration of the meeting. To make this shift easier, keep to the agenda and be respectful of the time allotted for the meeting. You will most likely find that meetings proceed more efficiently when all involved are focused on the task at hand. Remember, many people use their phones as an extension of their workspace and that calendars and other forms of electronic communication are part of doing business.

Adirondack Shakespeare Company Begins Fall Tour

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com UPPER JAY Ñ The Adirondack Shakespeare company may be small, they may be young, but as Shakespeare writes in A Midsummer NightÕ s Dream, “Though she be but little, she is fierce!”

This fully-professional acting company celebrates their fifth season this year and is bringing back a fall tour for the second year in a row.

Understanding why this company has been so successful is simple: they are fresh, they are motivated and they are real. Founders Tara Bradway and Patrick Siler remain true to their creative vision which started as just a desire for change back in 2008.

Bradway and Siler were both working as actors in Wilmington, Del. when they began to become dissatisfied with the way things were going. As an actor, one must always follow the vision the director has in mind, and often times actors donÕ t see eye to eye with the direction a production is going.

Bradway sipped on her pumpkin-spiced latte and said, “We were unsatisfied with the development. It felt like things were getting in the way of the story.Ó It was then and there that Tara and Patrick decided to start their own company, one that could be stripped of all the unnecessary additions and just be exactly what it was meant to be. ÒW e got rid of everything except the text,Ó said Bradway. ÒW ell, no not everything,ÓS iler interjected, Òt hat would just be like reading it on the radio.Ó ÒW ell yes, we still wanted it to be a live theatrical production,” Bradway clarified.

Sitting in the sun outside a small cafe in Lake George, Bradway and Siler began to explain their vision. The next two hours flew by as the two young creative minds detailed what the Adirondack Shakespeare Company is all about. Ò Shakespeare is meant to be heard, not developed internally,Ó said Siler, as he and Bradway explained how intimidating the literature can be. Ò Shakespeare is not easy to deliver well and sometimes hard to understand. Some people just had a

bad experience with it, probably in high school.Ó The two founders then began to describe that this is exactly why they do what they do. When everything is stripped away, the underlying message is then easier to understand and thus more likely to be felt. ÒW e got rid of the fancy costumes,Ó said Bradway, Òw e are resourceful.Ó The Adirondack Shakespeare Company went to Home Depot for props, allowed actors to use items from their own wardrobe, and let the play speak for itself.

The traveling theater company doesnÕ t even have rehearsal times. There is one 15 hour rehearsal period where the play is ran through by the cast but that is it. ÒI t felt tired,Ó said Bradway on how regularly rehearsed plays were going, “Organic is definitely the word to describe the process.Ó Bradway and Siler are all about the Òen ergyÓ of their productions. They want the interaction between cast members and the audience to feel like a naturally flowing conversation. ÒW e want people to discover the play moment to moment like people discover life moment to moment,Ó Siler remarked like a true artist. ÒO ur productions are Ô rawÕ , if we were using it in the cooking sense.Ó Siler continued on to break down the process in terms that were easy for a non-theater goer to understand. ÒM ost things are...over-cooked. The Ô meatÕ of the story is overdone, covered with cheese and sauces.Ó The Adirondack Theater Company takes a seemingly unorthodox yet beautiful approach to something so classic as Shakespeare. These professionally trained actors, all hired out of New York City, must know the plays through and through- so well that they are able to almost improvise as the production could take a turn at any moment. ÒA ctors need to be like a verse-speaking classical theater ninja,ÓS iler said as he laughed, Òt hey need to be able to move the way the play decides to move.Ó This lively take on Shakespearian drama that calls for an immense level of talent and a very

Homeless

From page 1 majority of those people are given temporary housing in local motels or eventually at Evergreen Townhouse Community. A very small percentage though choose to live on the street, some even through the winter. ÒT here is no traditional stereotype any more,Ó Burke said. ÒT here are more people in housing with income than ever before.

ThereÕ s been an increase in the working homeless.Ó Burke says that she has seen a steady increase in the number of homeless since the onset of the recession.

According to Marcy Ziemba, Case Manager for Supportive Housing at ETC, many of those who choose to stay outdoors have mental health issues, and have had problems negotiating the system in the past. ÒT here are a few people who donÕ t want services and live out on the street. Some lose their temporary housing because they donÕ t

specific type of actor. In order to meet these needs, Bradway and Siler have an extremely intensive audition process. The auditions last for up to an hour, whereas average theater auditions run anywhere from one to five minutes.

Actors may read a monologue if they have one prepared, but Bradway said she requires all actors to audition within a group as well. By having the characters interact with one another, Bradway is able to see how they will feed off of each other’s energy and fit the balance the company is looking for. ÒI t is still weird to think that it works,Ó said Bradway.

Weird, maybe, but it definitely is working.

Siler noted one of his favorite memories of a production that proved their message was getting through. During their first summer, the Adirondack Theater Company was performing Romeo and Juliet. Siler remembered a small, four year old girl who attended the play with her parents and sisters. If she didnÕ t like it, the parents said they would have to leave, but to SilerÕ s surprise, the little girl didnÕ t blink.

After the play, Bradway and Siler said the young girl asked her father to go talk to Juliet to make sure she was okay. If a romantic classic, so rich and elaborate in language, could move a little girl, imagine how many more people will connect with this production style.

Their love for these moments and their desire for more like them have prompted Bradway and Siler to offer main stage programming for Fall 2014.

The Adirondack Shakespeare Company will present The Taming of the Shrew for the first time as well as Macbeth, paying tribute to their first season. The company will take an original approach to The Taming of the Shrew that will have audiences in stitches.

“The show is really funny but difficult to do,” said Bradway. ÒT he way we are presenting it will attack the tough issues more easily.Ó Both Siler and Bradway seem elated to continue their busy summer into the fall. Last yearÕ s production had an excellent turnout so the company was excited to try their hand at another fall

follow through on what they needed to do,Ó s he said.

She agrees that this population is just a sliver of the overall population, and are typically single men. The outside homeless population tends to decrease markedly over the winter in the North Country.

ETC, she says, does have a case worker who attempts to check on these homeless encampments secreted around the Plattsburgh area periodically.

ECONOMY Ziemba agrees that the last several years have seen an increase in homelessness. ÒM y case load has doubled in the last four years,Ó she said. ÒI t has to do with the economy, but there have also been cutbacks in other service agencies.Ó She says people become homeless through a variety of factors, including losing a job, losing a house to fire, an extended illness, or a mental illness.

While the Department of Social Services is the lead agency for

season. ÒI donÕ t like the word Ô off-seasonÕ , I donÕ t want there to be an off-season,Ó s aid Bradway.

Bradway explained how the fall season lends itself to such a different experience than the companyÕ s summertime productions. ÒT he plays are more close-knit and we hit a different audience,Ós he said. ÒPeo ple who are busy and working all summer can now enjoy the same great art they have been waiting for.Ó The company is overjoyed to welcome the crisp, fall air and the gracefully changing Adirondack landscape. ÒW e can celebrate the season with harvest events,Ó said Bradway as she mentioned the upcoming Farm to Table Event.

The Farm to Table Event will kick off the fall tour and be hosted at the Whallonsburgh Grange on Friday, Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m. The celebration will have a food and drink tasting of local favorites followed by a presentation of The Taming of the Shrew. Bradway says the event pays tribute to the local culture in combination with the opening show.

The Adirondack Theater Company will be performing at the Whallonsburg Grange, The Strand Theater, The Tannery Pond Community Center, The Indian Lake Theater, The Upper Jay Art Center, The Bullhouse, and The National Museum of Dance. Check their website for dates and times to view the productions.

This professional theater company gives an untraditional look at two very traditional pieces, promising audiences something nothing short of electric. The Adirondack Theater Company brings our community something progressive, original, and ground-breaking. ÒY ou donÕ t have to go all the way to New York City,Ó s ays Siler, Òi t is right here.Ó The Adirondack Shakespeare company will present The Taming of the Shrew for the first time as well as Macbeth, paying tribute to their first season.

The company will be visiting the Whallonsburgh Grange, the Indian Lake Theater, the Upper Jay Art Center, the Tannery Pond Community Center, the Bullhouse, and other venues that are to be announced.

housing the homeless, Commissioner John Redden says that his agency works well with various other agencies in the County, such as Behavioral Health Services, Champlain Valley Family Center, the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and ETC. ÒW eÕ re a small rural county; we donÕ t have a ton of resources, but we work together so it looks like we have more than we do,Ó he said.

According to Redding, some days Social Services will have 15 - 20 people come through their door looking for housing. Some arenÕ t truly homeless, and other services are sought for them.

Others have been Òc ouch-servingÓ for a time, and had run out of friends of family willing to take them in.

Most of the homeless advocates agree, while the county is very good at securing temporary housing for the homeless as a safety net, the biggest issue facing the homeless is affordable permanent housing for the long run.

TEMPORARY HOUSING For those in temporary housing, the wait for permanent housing can be a long and scary one.

Samantha B. bounced her eight-month-old son on her knee in the offices of ETC where she now lives, thinking about what it was like when she was put up in various local motels. ÒI t sucks. Homeless places are riddled with sex offenders. You donÕ t know who youÕ re being housed next to. Here, they screen people before they house them.Ó SamanthaÕ s two-year-old daughter was able to stay in her school district when Samantha finally got into ETC. Every school district, Ziemba explained, has a homeless liaison person to coordinate education for the homeless population in school. Under the McKinney-Bento Act, children are allowed to stay in a particular school, even if they move out of the district for housing purposes. ÒI tÕ s embarrassing. Even for people who work and have an income, you can’t find a place you can call your home,” Samantha said.

Everyone who Social Services puts up in temporary housing gets a screening interview with ETC, but there are a limited number of spaces available at any given time, if any. However, ETC is a grant funded agency, with no plans of expanding at all in the future.

SUCCESS But there are success stories. Jack R. had what most would consider a very good job, but it was a job that took its toll on him both physically and mentally. Even while working, he was no more than one to two paychecks away from not being able to pay his bills. When his doctor took him out of work for an extended period of time because of an assortment of ailments, his house was the first thing to go.

Jack remained homeless for two years. ÒI Õ m not ashamed of it, no. If people asked me I would tell them,Ó he said. ÒT here are a lot of good agencies out there who can help you.Ó Jack focused first on getting his health in order, then found a job.

He is now permanently employed and lives in his own apartment.

He recently began to speak on the issue of homelessness. ÒI donÕ t consider myself a success story, because I always knew I would be back to work. We see a lot of success stories in the community with people who have been helped,Ó h e said.

In January the Department of Social Services will conduct a ÒPo int in TimeÓ assessment of the population, counting each homeless person currently living in the county.

Internship helps students plan their career

By Morgan Rugar

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Through Saranac High SchoolÕ s Career Internship Exploration Program (CEIP), students are given hands on experience working in real jobs, before deciding what to pursue in college or the workforce.

SaranacÕ s business teacher Karin DeLutis runs the program, working to place students in real-world careers to give them professional exposure in fields that interest them. Students take part in two separate internships over the course of the program.

“Seeing the students grow, learning about a field that they think theyÕ re interested in, itÕ s amazing to me,Ó said DeLutis.

DeLutis has been running the program for the past twelve years. She is grateful for the support of the community, and the willingness of businesses to accept interns. Ò I canÕ t stress enough the support of the community. They see the value of it, and they want to help the students,Ó said DeLutis.

Ò They have been so generous to the program.Ó She has seen students fall in love with a career, and also seen students realize that a career is not for them.

“I’ve seen it go both ways. More kids seem to find out that the career is for them.Ó CEIP is a three-credit CAP course, which is offered to all high school seniors. Students in the course receive college credit from Clinton Community College. To apply for the program, students must get two teacher recommendations, maintain satisfactory grades, and have a good attendance record.

Guidance counselor Renee Pelkey sees the work-based learning program as a great opportunity for students to experience a potential career for them.

“Every student of mine benefits tremendously,” said Pelkey. Ò If it was up to me, I would make every kid do [an internship].Ó She also says it helps students develop work-related skills such as public speaking, communication, and time management.

“For some students, it’s their first exposure to that.”

Principal Steven Grenville boasts about the benefits of CEIP as well. He says the internship gives students opportunities to explore the world beyond school. Ò Anytime you have students out experiencing the work force itÕ s a great thing,Ó said Grenville. Ò ItÕ s valuable to have kids out experiencing the work force. Videos or school donÕ t give you a true sense of doing the job.Ó The program was first established in 1996 by former business teacher Anne-Marie Morgan. Since then, about 100 students have completed the twenty-week course in a wide variety of fields including medical, education and law.

There are 14 seniors participating in CEIP for 2014-2015 school year, which is the biggest class in one semester in the history of the program.

With all the benefits internships have given to students, school administration is hoping to see the interest in the program continue to increase. Ò IÕ d like to see it grow,Ó said Grenville.

Zach Hirsch joined NCPR a year ago at their Canton station, and jumped at the chance to help open the Plattsburgh bureau. From Plattsburgh, Hirsch will cover the entire Champlain Valley, but will focus on the Plattsburgh area.

NCPR has covered the Champlain Valley from their Canton location for the past 20 years, but this will be the first time that they will have a full-time reporter dedicated to this region, and specifically the New York side of the lake.

Hirsch, who hails from Long Island, got a taste for the Champlain Valley when he attended the University of Vermont. He graduated in 2012 with a degree in cultural anthropology, but knew he wanted to pursue radio journalism from his experience with a college radio show which he hosted at UVM. Ò IÕ m here to tell the story of Plattsburgh, to

the region and to the rest of the state,Ó Hirsch said.

Since starting with NCPR, Hirsch has found his niche in stories with social or cultural relevancy. His office is adorned with awards by the Associated Press and the Public Radio Exchange, for his reporting during his short professional career. Ò IÕ ve just developed a taste for telling peopleÕ s stories, genuinely listening, giving people a chance to talk. I gravitate towards food issues, food stamps, soup kitchens, socioeconomic inequality.Ó The idea to open a Plattsburgh bureau has been on the collective minds at NCPR since they first put a transmitter in Plattsburgh in 1992. Ò We consider Plattsburgh one of the key population centers in our coverage area,Ó said NCPR Station Manager Ellen Rocco. Ò Having a reporter on the ground we will have the opportunity to do a lot more stories from Plattsburgh.Ó Rocco says NCPR will fill a niche in the local market, bringing even more stories from the Champlain Valley to the rest of the region, the state, and the country through National Public Radio and other outlets. Connecting communities to each other, Rocco says, is the goal of NCPR.

She says that while Hirsch will venture throughout the North Country and Adirondack region to report, the Plattsburgh area will be where he generates most of his stories. Ò ItÕ s a critical corner of our coverage area and itÕ ll be the heart of his activities.Ó Hirsch hopes the local community will em-

brace the new bureau, and contact him with story ideas. Ò IÕ m in this learning and familiarizing mode,Ó he said. Ò I want to hear your stories; I want to cover your events.Ó Hirsch can be reached at zhirsch@ncpr.org or by phone at 518-572-6223 with story ideas.

rigged with sails. Ò We called a naval archaeologist, and they said that canal schooners in the U.S. didnÕ t have sails, that that was only found in Europe,Ó said Cohn. Ò We said OK, but we have two.Ó They did more research, and learned that enterprising ship builders in northern New York and Vermont utilized the design for a brief period around the 1860s, in order to save money on steamers and tug boats. By the 1870s, the cost of steamers had come down as they became more plentiful on the lake, and the expensive design was discontinued.

The Lois McClure carries masts and sails, but theyÕ re not utilized for actual sailing, just for historic correctness. The schooner is ferried around utilizing a tug boat.

The schooner is tended by a crew of up to a dozen staff and volunteers, who tell the history of life aboard a canal schooner in the late seventeenth century. Barbary Bartley is one such staff member. Her great grandfather in law piloted a schooner, living on board with his entire family. Ò At least your family was together,Ó she said. Ò They had to be businessmen as well as shippers.Ó She said that husband and wife, as well as older children, would take turns steering the massive 80-foot-plus cargo transits. Parents and younger children slept together in a berth in the rear of the boat, separated by a simple curtain, while older boys had a berth in the front of the schooner. The wife was also responsible for cooking means and home-schooling the children, while the husband transacted the business end of the operation.

If a child was born on board a schooner, Bartley said, they would simply stop at the next city with a port and get a birth certificate for the child. Schooner sailing families often had many children, all with birth certificates from different places.

Bartley inherited a ream of log books from her husbandÕ s family, and donated them to the Maritime Museum after writing a book based on the logs. They were used extensively in building the recreated schooner, and in telling the history of life aboard. Ò Our purpose is to deliver history. It (the Lois McClure) really helps to visualize what the lake was like 150 years ago,Ó said Cohn. The Lois McClure, after finishing it’s trip to Canada, will return to the Maritime Museum in Vergennes on Sept. 28. It will stay there until the museum closes in mid-October.

Eagles turn it up against Hornets for lopsided win

Beekmantown moves to 2-1 with 63-12 win over Plattsburgh

By Barrie Finnegan

denpub@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN Ñ Apparently the Eagles were just getting warmed up last week against the Patriots in a 43-22 win. The Eagles were hitting on all cylinders on the way to a 63-12 romp of PHS on Sept. 20. Offense, defense and special teams all chipped in for the win.

On the second play of the game, Justin Stevens went 45 yards off left tackle to set the stage for things to come. After another gain by Stevens, the counter play worked to perfection as Nathan Handy took it 21 yards to paydirt.

The Eagles picked up their second consecutive win of the season with a 63-12 rout of the Hornets on Sept. 20.

After a three and out by PHS, Beekmantown got the ball back but fumbled and PHS took possession. D’Andre Lemieux ran for a first down on A QB keeper. Then, on 4th and seven, Lemieux hit Riley Monahan on a swing pass for an 11 yard touchdown. The extra point was missed making it 7-6 with 5:02 left in the first.

This is as close as it would get.

Justin Stevens took the next kickoff and ran through some hard contact at his own 22, then continued down the field to the end zone making it 14-6.

Stevens took over on the EaglesÕ next possession, capping off a 75 yard drive with a 40 yard touchdown run. That ended the scoring in the first quarter with Beekmantown up 21-6.

It was much of the same in the second quarter as Stevens went 76 yards off the left side for a score and Tyler Newman went 40 yards on a TD run of his own.

Halftime came with the Eagles up 35-6.

Stevens took a 26 yard pass to the endzone to make it 42-6.

The defense decided to get in on the scoring with Nathan Handy intercepting and taking it all the way for a 35 yard touchdown to wrap up the third quarter at 49-6.

The fourth quarter saw more of the Eagles ground game. This time it was Tyler Myers carrying the load. After four carries by Eagles running back Justin Stevens (22) breaks downfield for a rushing touchdown against the Hornets in Beekmantown’s Myers he found the endzone on second consecutive win. a two yard run.

Ticonderoga defense, zone read down Moriah in round one Sentinels shut out Vikings in rivalry matchup

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com MINEVILLE Ñ Last Friday, Garrison Hughes watched Heisman Trophy candidate Taysom Hill run the zone read offense of BYU on television.

On Sept. 19, it was his turn to run the zone read himself as the Ticonderoga Sentinels used it to spur a pair of big drives en route to a 31-0 win over rival Moriah. Ò We have been repping it for weeks,Ó Hughes said. Ò The line killed it blocking and the backs made plays.Ó Hughes ran the ball nine times for 80 yards, 44 of those coming on a seven play, 57 yard drive that ended in the Sentinels first offensive touchdown of the game less than one minute into the second quarter.

TiconderogaÕ s opening score came when Ryan Trudeau (nine carries for 26 yards) scored from three yards away after Konner Bruce had recorded a sack and fumble recovery when a Moriah snap got over the head of Viking quarterback Adam Jaquish.

Bruce, who was at the center of the final play of the 2013 Section VII Class D title game, excelled in the rivalry game, carrying the ball 18 times for 187 yards (including a 48 yard score in the third quarter) while recording five tackles for a loss, one and a half sacks and a fumble recovery. Ò We did the zone read a lot in practice,Ó Bruce said. Ò The line really executed well and

gave me big holes to run through. It was perfect.Ó Ò We have had it in but have not had the opportunity to use it until tonight,Ó Coach Scott Nephew said. Ò Garrison made good reads and Konner ran well. Our players made the plays they had to make.Ó Bruce also said the line used their speed on the defensive side of the ball to rack up 16 tackles for loss with six sacks of Jaquish. Ò We were quick to the ball tonight,Ó Bruce said. Ò We had speed off the line,Ó said Chase Dix-

on, who had two and a half sacks in the game. Ò Coach Dorsett helps us to be quick off the ball and on the offensive side we were able to make gaps for the runners.Ó Kolby Bradford added two and a half tackles for loss while Trudeau had a sack. Domanic Banish connected on a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter to round out the scoring for Ti. Ian Lawrie ran the ball in relief of Bruce for 36 yards, while Cody Huestis added six yards in relief.

While many things went the SentinelsÕ way, they were flagged nine times for 95 penalty

yards, while the Vikings were flagged five times for 55 yards. The Sentinels were also unable to gain any yardage through the air, as Hughes was 0-for-3 with an interception by MoriahÕ s Taylor Slattery.

For Vikings Coach Don Tesar, the game came down to the front lines. Ò They owned the line from the get-go,Ó Tesar said. “They were in the backfield all day long and didnÕ t allow us to run the ball. That made us one dimensional.Ó Tesar also said the his team picked up on TiÕ s zone read, but had a hard time executing. Ò We had people in the right spots, Hughes and Bruce were just elusive,Ó Tesar said. Ò We were reaching out and arm tackling instead of wrapping up and getting to the body and legs.Ó Jaquish went 12-for-24, throwing for 128 yards. However, the Sentinel sacks of the Viking quarterback cost the team 50 yards. Overall, the Vikings were held in the red on the ground with -8 yards. Noah Gilbo led the rushers with 24 yards on four carries while Collin Harris had 12 yards on three carries.

Cody Stockwell led the Vikings with 62 yards receiving on five grabs while Slattery had 43 receiving yards. Jarrod MacDougal caught three balls for 16 yards and Kyle Stockwell had seven yards with his lone reception.

Bill Larrow recovered a fumble on defense for the Vikings to go with a tackle for a loss and Gilbo had two and a half tackles for a loss. Ò We will have to shore up our blocking on the line of scrimmage along with our tackling,Ó Tesar said about preparing to face Peru Saturday, Sept. 27, at 1:30 p.m. in the Apple Bowl. Ticonderoga will host Saranac Lake Friday, Sept.

26, with kickoff set for 7 p.m.

Indians run their way to 48-2 win, remain undefeated Patriots still searching for first win of the season

By Akashia Swinton

denpub@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE Ñ The Ausable Valley Patriots were crushed by the Peru Indians at home on Sept. 19. The final score was 48 to 2 with all of the Peru points being scored in the first half.

PeruÕ s Brandon Sawyer had 243 rushing yards with four touchdowns all in the first half.

PeruÕ s Brandon Sawyer rushed for 243 yards in the IndiansÕ rout of the Patriots on Sept. 19.

The receiving game was led by Anthony Gallo with 43 yards and two touchdowns for the Indians. Troy Lawyer scored the last touchdown and had a total of 73 receiving yards.

Peru quarterback Blake Altizer went 12-for-23 and also connected with John Gallo and Rivelino Hendricks for 122 additional yards.

Although there were a large number of points scored by Peru, there were multiple players for AuSable Valley that were active on defense. Kenny Rivers had six tackles and Jamie Coolidge had five tackles and two sacks, one of which resulted in the safety that led the Patriots to their only score.

Patriots quarterback William Coats had 34 rushing yards, but was only able to complete four of his 18 pass attempts to his main targets Nate Manning, who ended with 27 yards and Sultan Sikandar, who had 19.

The AuSable Valley rushing game was led by James Carter with 43 yards.

Patriots Coach Heith Ford encouraged his team to have a short term memory in which they understand and learn from their mistakes to prepare for their game next week against at Plattsburgh High School. He said their tackling skills need some work and they will be making alterations to their offense this week.

Despite this substantial loss and winless season through three games, the AuSable Valley fans had nothing but support for the players and were offering words of encouragement after every play.

Peru Coach Nick Damiani was happy with the changes implemented in last weekÕ s practice. They were stalling on 4th down, unable to covert, but they increased their efficiency and converted those drives into points. He also appreciated the team effort on defense with no offensive points allowed. They will face off against the Moriah Vikings next week, Sept. 27, at home.

Red Storm holds Chiefs to a safety, win 30-2

Defensive has yet to allow a single point this season

By Kyle Oehlbeck

denpub@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Saranac Lake offense racked up over 300 yards and put up 30 points, but the defense was the story of the day with two sacks, one interception and a goal line stand to lead the Red Storm to a 30-2 victory over the Saranac Chiefs.

The Saranac Lake defense, which gave up just 130 yards in the game, took points off the ChiefsÕ side of the scoreboard twice.

In the first quarter, the Red Storm mounted a huge goal line stand on their own one-yard line, followed later by a superb interception by cornerback Jack Martin.

Saranac Lake quarterback Tristin Fitzgerald was 13-18 for 196 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. He added 37 yards on the ground, including a rushing touchdown.

The Chiefs were the first to put points on the board with a safety late in the first quarter.

for 25 hard-earned yards.

After their last offensive possession turned into a safety, the Red Storm came back in a fury with Fitzgerald connecting with wide receiver Jason Stack for a 56 yard touchdown pass.

The Red Storm put up 14 more points before halftime to have a commanding 21-2 lead, starting with FitzgeraldÕ s 19-yard keeper into the endzone.

After recovering a fumble, Fitzgerald lobbed the ball 22 yards into the right corner of the endzone as time expired where Ty Marmion made the touchdown grab.

The two scores came just over a minute apart and the quick barrage quieted the Chiefs’ side of the field after the energetic Saranac team held the Red Storm scoreless in the first quarter.

After the half, Saranac Lake put in their second stringers and would only score one more touchdown, again by Marmion.

He had a huge day with two catches for 31 yards and a touchdown along with 51

yards on the ground and another touchdown.

The Red Storm kept their undefeated overall record at 3-0 and will be traveling to Ticonderoga Friday night, Sept. 26, to take on the 2-1 Sentinels. The Chiefs play host to the 2-1 Beekmantown Eagles on Saturday, Sept. 27.

The great Adirondack Flycasting Championships

A

lthough the ancient Egyptians have been credited with utilizing a combination of fur and feathers on a hook for the purpose of angling for fish, there is very little known about the history of flyfishing prior to the seventeenth century.

It is believed that the original equipment used in those earlier times included rods of 14 feet or more in length, with twisted lines of horsehair that were fixed to the top of the rod.

There were no reels used and such limitations of equipment make it unlikely that early fly fishermen used lines much longer than twice the length of their rods, although the early history remains rather spotty.

The sporting pursuit of casting a fly has since gained great popularity over the past 500 or so years; although it was never considered a common man’s pursuit until the advent of fiberglass rods came about and synthetic flylines brought it to the masses in the 1940Õ s.

Prior to the development of glass rods, flyrods were constructed primarily of bamboo that came from the Gulf Of Ton kin region of southeast Asia. They featured silk lines which required careful handling and extensive drying and occasional repair.

Before fiberglass rods gained popular acceptance, rod builders toiled at the task of splitting , shaping and gluing strips of bamboo with wraps of fine silk thread to hold it all together.

It was a painstaking process, and the rods constantly required attention and care. They could never be put away wet, as moisture would cause them to warp, or Õ take a setÕ . If a rod Ô took a Ô setÕ there was little that could be done to repair it.

Today, there remain numerous, cane rod builders all across the world. Some of the finest cane rod builders are still based in Great Britain, although the US has it’s fair share of flyrod builders as well.

BritainÕ s fabled House of Hardy, long a purveyor of sporting goods

to the British upper crust, still sells cane rods at prices that exceed $5000 or more.

However, it was the development of glass rods that popularized the sport and brought it to the common man.

In the 1880’s, the popularity of flyfishing soared as the Transcendental movement followed a Ô back to natureÕ creed that was advanced by celebrities such as Thoreau, Emerson, Daniel Webster and others.

The renaissance of flyfishing in American was summed up by Henry David Thoreau when he commented “Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.”

The Catskill Mountain region of New York state has been widely recognized as the birthplace of American flyfishing. Most of the early anglers, including Seth Green, Reuben Wood, Theodore Gordon, Fred Mather practiced their art in the region.

These gentlemen were not simply trout anglers, they were also fish cultists who helped to develop some of the most advanced fish rearing techniques ever known.

However, it was a portly, cigar smoking, sporting goods salesman from Greenbush, New York that first brought national and later, international acclaim to the graceful sport of casting the fly.

Rueben Wood was a frequent visitor to the Adirondacks, and he especially enjoyed taking forays into the wild lands and waters of the Cranberry Lake region, occasionally in the company of artist Fredrick Remington.

Not only was he an avid angler, but he was also a rabid competitor who won all the distance fly casting events at the 1881 New York State SportsmenÕ s Meet.

Two years later, while in London in 1883 for the International Fisheries Exposition Wood participated in a fly casting tournament.

He took first in the salmon fly event with 108 feet, and first in the single handed trout fly event with 82 1/2 feet.

It is important to note that this feat was accomplished without the aid of modern flylines which feature tapered heads, and are propelled by space age, graphite or carbon fiber flyrods.

In the 1880Õ s, the the British casting community was aghast that a Yank had come across the Atlantic to best them on their own turf at a sport they believed they had invented.

As if to to add insult to injury; Wood had accomplished the feat

For Lake Placid, Kiana Fell had 13 points, seven aces, six kills and 23 assists in the close loss.

Plattsburgh 3, Northern Adirondack 0 ELLENBURG Ñ The Hornets took all three sets to blank the Bobcats in volleyball action on Sept. 18.

Shannon Bracale led Plattsburgh in points with 12 while chipping in an ace, one block, three kills and three digs. Kyleigh Melhorn had 11 points while Lauren Stanley stuffed the stat sheet with seven points, 27 assists, two kills and three digs.

Beekmantown 3, Saranac Lake 0 SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Eagles were too much for the Red Storm on Sept. 18, jumping out to a 25-10 win in the first set and matching the same score in the following two for the 3-0 win.

Lydia Bailey tallied 15 points, three aces, one block, two assists, six kills and seven digs for Beekmantown. Skye Gates and Michaela Lafountain had 10 and 13 points, respectively, in the lopsided win.

Saranac Lake’s Alivia Sapone had seven points, five digs and four assists in the game. The Red Storm also got six points, two aces, one kill and six digs from Olivia Atkinson. with their own equipment. At the time, it was a sporting achievement comparable to a college team besting an English Premier League soccer team. Al Michaels would have dubbed it the Miracle on Water Throughout the 1880’s and into the early 1900’s, fly casting competitions regularly drew large crowds across the country. In fact, there were over 80,000 spectators gathered for the NYS Flycasting Championship which were held in Syracuse in 1882. Seth Green of Rochester won the event with a cast of Ò slightly less than 100 feetÓ in besting the WoodÕ s brothers.

Unfortunately, fly casting competitions no longer draw such numbers. It is unlikely they will ever again become the main feature of a state fair, and I donÕ t expect IÕ ll ever watch such a competition on CBS, NBC or any of the major networks.

However, I do expect to see some of the region’s finest flycasters when they gather this weekend in Indian Lake for the first annual Great Adirondack Flycasting Championships.

The event, set to be hosted at Byron Park on the shores of Lake Adirondack in Indian Lake is part of the Great Adirondack Moose Festival scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 27.

The competition, featuring a test of fly casting distance, accuracy and speed, will feature prizes for all categories. It is sponsored by Cortland Line Company, Blueline Sport Shop and Tahawus Guide Service.

The festival is a celebration of the return of the moose to the Adirondacks and it will offer a host of authentic Adirondack experiences, including rafting, angling, hikes and moose walks.

There will also be music, food, drink and a host of other fun events including the ever popular, Moose Calling Contest.

I will also be in attendence to host the Great Adirondack Flycasting Championships., and a talk on the Traditions of Backcountry Brook Trout.
