PLATTSBURGH — About 30 walkers took their first steps for the Clinton County Trailblazers 50/50 Challenge on Wednesday, Oct. 7.

“It’s so easy to do,” said Melanie Defayette, youth services and recreation director for the Town of Plattsburgh. “Plus, it helps your attitude and it’s a good stress reliever, so it’s time to get out and moving.”

The kick-off event took place on the Terry

J. Gordon Recreational Path at the U.S. Oval beginning the challenge for Clinton County residents 18 and older of walking 50 miles in 50 days.

Along with this, the Clinton County Move Passport Challenge started early this month, an initiative aimed at energizing youth to get out and get moving.

Working with the Rapid Results Institute and supported by the Healthy Neighborhoods Fund Initiative grant from the NYS Health Foundation to the Clinton County

Town of Peru

Local media fixture Andy Flynn working on book on bluegrass outfit, in need of funds

ELLENBURG DEPOT — While wrapping up a book on the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival, local author Andy Flynn pondered his next project.

In July 2012, Flynn attended a Lake Placid performance by the Gibson BrothTeah ers. It was a performance that left an Dowling impression so strong that he decided to Writer make them his next big project.

“I was just very impressed and blown away,” said Flynn. “I had seen them before, but I had a feeling there was a story there... a bigger story than just a couple guys making music.”

In April 2013, Flynn approached the brothers, who are from Ellenburg Depot, about writing the book.

They accepted and Flynn is now working with the pair, Eric and Leigh, to produce the book, which is tentatively titled “Breakthrough: The Gibson Brothers Story.”

“Leigh and I are excited that Andy is writing this book about us,” Eric said. “He is a wonderful writer and a soulful human being.” >> Story Continued | pg. 16

Local group celebrates 239th anniversary of Battle of Valcour

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Craig Russell of the Valcour Battle Chapter fired three cannons out toward Lake Champlain and Valcour Island.

As the smoke grew bigger and clouded the clear autumn day, the echoes of the firing faded and the sounds of a bugle played by local musician and re-enactor Bill Long grew in honor of the Battle of Valcour.

Veterans, community members and visitors gathered to remember and celebrate the 239th anniversary of the Battle of Valcour — the 120th commemoration held Sunday, Oct. 11 at Clinton Community College by the Saranac Chapter, NSDAR. “The chapter decided 120 years ago that this was one of the commemorative events that they wanted to do, so they put

it together and it just continued,” said Pam Meyers, chapter regent for the Saranac Chapter, NSDAR. “We want to keep it going.”

The commemoration celebrated this historical time for Plattsburgh through music, prayer, laying of the wreaths and, of course, the story on how this all came to be.

Keynote speaker Kyle Page, of Clinton Community College, shed a light on what happened back on Oct. 11 when the air was filled with smoke and echoes of the firing cannons between the Americans and the British.

“It was horrific and brutal fight by all accounts,” Page said.

“The British pounded us and we pounded back, but in the end, their guns and ships were bigger.”

On Oct. 11, 1776, the first American naval fleet, consisting of 17 vessels with a crew of 800 farmers and immigrants commanded by Benedict Arnold, engaged the British fleet of approximately 30 vessels with 700 experienced officers and seamen with far superior firepower commanded by Sir Guy Carleton.

Although nearly all of Arnold’s ships were destroyed, leaving all but four vessels, it took more than two days for the British to subdue the Patriot naval force. Because of this, the British expended time to assemble their own naval force, costing them the opportunity to invade the United States along the route of the Hudson River during the campaign of 1776.

After their victory, they retreated to Canada, regroupes and waited next spring to begin driving southward, but by then the Americans were better prepared and forced the surrender of the invading force at Saratoga.

This overall two-day battle, in turn, became the most important naval battle of the American Revolution.

“The Battle of Valcour is a very important part of our history,” Page said. “This is an amazing place and we have amazing history.”

Best two out of four: candidates are running for state supreme court seats

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — With three weeks until Election Day, the four candidates running for State Supreme Court justice in the Fourth Judicial District are busy traversing a sprawling district in the search for votes.

The district, one of 13 in the state, spans from Schenectady to the Canadian border. It includes Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Montgomery, St. Lawrence, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren and Washington counties.

That’s 26 percent of the state’s land mass.

Judges face mandatory retirement at 70. This year’s two court vacancies are due to the retirements of justices David R. Demarest, of Potsdam, and David B. Krogmann, of Warren County.

The four-way run-off will see the top two vote-getters win the seats.

MARTIN AUFFREDOU, Warren County Auffredou, who currently serves as the Warren County Attorney, has been endorsed by both the Conservative and Republican parties.

“It’s a huge territory,” Auffredou told Essex County Republicans at their annual dinner last month. “This is an enormous undertaking for us.”

Auffredou, of Queensbury, has been at it since January.

The court seat rotates between the counties.

Krogmann’s retirement means the seat may leave Warren County.

It’s important for the county to retain its judicial seat, Auffredou said. But the burden to preserve it is on the voters.

Auffredou practiced law in the region for more than 25 years, including 20 years with the Glens Falls law firm Bartlett, Pontiff, Stewart & Rhodes, P.C. There, the principal and vice president focused on municipal law.

The candidate was the counsel for the Lake George Park Commission, five school districts and eight towns and villages around the region. Upon passing the New York State Bar Exam, he served as Confidential Law Clerk to the Hon. D. Brock Hornby, an Associate Justice on the Supreme Judicial Court of Maine. He has also served as an arbitrator for the Attorney Fee Dispute Resolution Program since 2004.

Auffredou graduated from Western New England College School of Law. He is ranked “qualified” by the Independent Judicial Election Qualification Commissions.

“We’re committed to finishing strong and we’re up to the task,” Auffredou said.

Auffredou has been making campaign appearances across the district with Mary Farley, of St. Lawrence County.

Both have been endorsed by Assemblyman Dan Stec (R114 District).

Auffredou, said Stec, has done an “outstanding job” as county attorney.

MARY FARLEY, St. Lawrence County Farley served as outgoing justice David Demarest’s principal law clerk for 22 years. She has been endorsed by the Republican and Reform parties.

According to campaign materials, Farley has experience in all facets of civil litigation, including motion practice, settlement conferencing and trial issues.

Prior to serving under Demarest, Farley held positions with Roemer & Featherstonhaugh, P.C., of Albany, and with for the Cable Television Association of New York.

Farley, of Gouverneur, stressed the importance of keeping the seat in St. Lawrence County.

“The last time I embarked on a nine-month project, and put 36,000 miles on my car, I had a kid at the end,” Farley quipped.

Farley graduated from Albany Law School of Union Uni-

versity.

In July, she was ranked “highly qualified” by Independent Judicial Election Qualification Commissions.

Farley has been campaigning around the district with Auffredou.

Stec has referred to the pair as “M&M.” “My 10-year-old is an outstanding judge of character and he loves Mary Farley,” Stec said.

JULIE GARCIA, Warren County

Garcia, a former Essex County District Attorney, received the unanimous endorsement of the Democratic Party last week.

The Ticonderoga native graduated from Siena College before attending Albany Law School, where she worked in the Domestic Violence Clinic.

After being admitted to the state bar in 2000, she worked in the Domestic Violence Unit of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office and ran her own law office before being elected Essex County DA. Garcia, according to campaign materials, has handled cases in federal court, supreme court, county court and local courts, representing clients throughout the Fourth Judicial District.

As a former DA, Garcia says she is aware of the need for impartial judges who will ensure that laws are carried out fairly and consistently.

“With more than a decade of legal experience in both the public and private sectors, I have a profound understanding of our judicial system,” said Garcia in an email. “There is no substitute for the experience an attorney gains from representing clients in and out of the courtroom.”

“I know the law. I know the district. I was born and raised here and am deeply committed to justice for all.”

Garcia was nominated last week by Clinton County Democratic Chair Martin Mannix, Jr. “Julie Garcia has a quick mind and a solid moral compass,” Mannix said in a news release. “As Essex County’s first woman District Attorney, she quickly won high marks for her willingness to take on a heavy workload and promote efficiencies within her office. She will be an outstanding Supreme Court Judge.”

Garcia resides in Lake George and is a sole practitioner with an office in Essex County.

MARK BLANCHFIELD, Schenectady County The candidate currently serves as a full-time judge of the Schenectady City Court, which is the busiest local jus-

tice court in the region, according to his campaign materials.

Blanchfield spent nine years on the Schenectady City Council — including three as president — before being appointed in 2010 to fill a vacancy on the City Court bench. He was elected to a 10-year term the following year.

“I am dedicated to my community and its families and have enjoyed volunteering with various youth organizations,” Blanchfield wrote on his campaign website.

Blanchfield graduated from Harvard University and Cardozo School of Law and has a “highly qualified” ranking from the Independent Judicial Election Qualification Commissions.

As a lawyer, Blanchfield has practiced at every level of the court system, from local trial courts to the Second Circuit and the New York Court of Appeals, and in all 11 counties of the Fourth Judicial District.

Supreme Court justices serve 14-year terms at a salary of $174,000. Voters head to the polls on Nov. 3.

Ouderkirk, Duprey to speak at forum PLATTSBURGH — The North Country Alliance for Public Education is hosting a forum with Regent Beverly Ouderkirk and Assemblywoman Janet Duprey to discuss the current state of public education Thursday, Oct. 29 in Yokum 202 at SUNY Plattsburgh. The forum is free and open to the public.

Conroys Organics to host fall events PLATTSBURGH — Conroys Organics will be hosting a pumpkin carving contest and barbecue roast Thursday, Oct. 29 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. to celebrate October: the month of pumpkins, early sunsets and final harvests.

Toxic questions

A

side from the fame, money, power and perks you have to wonder why anyone would run for a national political office. Sadly it must be an addiction to one of the above mentioned vices or perhaps it’s the allure of the magnitude of the challenge that attracts.

Either way you have to wonder if people who seek these offices really know what they are getting into.

Senator Clinton obviously sees something that is worth all the pain and aggravation she’s gone through over the years through her husband’s career and now her own. Everyday seems to present another attack on her candidacy and to her personally. We really have to wonder why these people put themselves and their families through this process.

Dr. Ben Carson, a former neurosurgeon who has thrown his hat into the presidential ring, was recently asked a straight forward question: What would he have done if he were standing in the classroom two weeks ago in Oregon when a gunman was shooting and killing innocent students.

Carson answered that he would have encouraged other students to join him in rushing the gunman instead of waiting for the inevitable.

Carson, as you may know, has been ripped for insulting the students with such a ridiculous idea.

But when you think about his answer and think about the process these candidates put themselves through it’s really an answer very fitting the character of a person who chooses to be a leader. These people put themselves at great risk, accepting tasks that others shy away from, be it fear of failure, lack of confidence or any one of a number of other character flaws.

On September 11th in 2001 a group of airline passengers made a similar fateful decision when they realized their plane was to be used as a missile in our nation’s capital.

As leaders they recognized their only hope was to either take back control of the plane or die saving countless others on the ground from certain death. We recognize those brave souls of Flight 93 as true heroes for their actions.

So as we go through the political craziness during the next year, let’s remember to give all candidates a little slack and respect the simple fact they are willing to do the dirty work of leading our nation in order to make our lives a little easier. We must also be capable of recognizing the difference between a policy gaff and a trap question loaded with toxic interpretations.

Jornada del Muerto

n the weeks leading up to the first atomic bomb test, on July 16, 1945, in New Mexico’s southern desert—called the Jornada del Muerto, the “Journey of Death”, by the Spanish conquistadores—70 scientists of the U.S. Army’s Manhattan Project working to build the first nuclear weapon signed a solemn petition to head off use of the weapon in Japan at the end of World War II. Headed up by nuclear physicist Leo Szilard, the 70 signees asked U.S. President Harry S. Truman to consider a demonstration test of the bomb for Japanese officials to witness instead of dropping the new weapon of mass destruction on a city of mostly civilians.

Not declassified until 1961, the Szilard petition text reads as follows: “We, the undersigned, respectfully petition: First, that you exercise your power as Commander-in-Chief, to rule that the United States shall not resort to the use of atomic bombs in this war unless the terms which will be imposed upon Japan have been made public in detail and Japan knowing these terms has refused to surrender; Second, that in such an event the question whether or not to use atomic bombs be decided by you in the light of the considerations presented in this petition as well as all the other moral responsibilities which are involved...”

Plans to deliver Szilard’s signed petition to Truman were thwarted by the U.S. Army. The effort didn’t stop the bomb and instead greatly damaged the careers of the signees. Nearly all of the scientists who signed the petition eventually lost their jobs; it took years for them to recover their career paths.

Following World War II, Manhattan Project lead scientist Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer told Truman bluntly, in a private meeting about nuclear weaponry, “I feel I have blood on my hands.”

After the meeting, Truman told his advisors that he never wanted to talk with Oppenheimer again. The President referred to the man who built the bomb, and who started displaying public remorse, as just another “cry baby scientist.”

In retrospect, Szilard’s idea to hold a demonstration test of the bomb probably might have done the trick in at least shocking the Japanese into considering surrender. However, to be fair, many respected historians and military leaders have argued otherwise. Millions of American sailors and soldiers might have died if the Japanese homeland was invaded, as planned, in September 1945. Of course, it’s always easy to judge the actions of the past from the cold and comfortable present.

No matter, not a single world leader in power in 2015—with the possible exception of North Korea’s Kim Jong-un—has experienced an atomic explosion, either underground or above ground; yet, leaders discuss the bomb and negotiate treaties and agreements without having a first-hand knowledge of the sheer awesome, violent scale of nuclear and thermonuclear devices.

Of the three principals involved in the on-going, controversial Iranian

nuclear agreement—U.S. President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry and Iranian Ayatollah Khamenei, only Kerry has seen the horrors of (conventional) weapons up close. And neither leader has seen the effects of an underground or above ground nuclear explosion.

Would a demonstration test of an above-ground nuclear weapon explosion before the signing of the Iranian agreement changed minds or forced a rewriting of the controversial text and self inspections benchmarks? Perhaps not, but I believe that the cosmic fury of an above-ground nuclear explosion should be seen and felt—in all its roiling, thermal and radioactive intensity—by every world leader, no matter the size of the nation.

When the Eisenhower administration revoked Oppenheimer’s security clearance in 1954—for both political and philosophical reasons—the physicist returned to teaching and continued to caution the world about the awesome power of the atom he helped set loose.

As an eyewitness to the unfathomable violence unleashed during that first test of his own creation in 1945, Oppenheimer once reflected, “We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried; most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita... ‘Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I suppose we all felt that, one way or another.”

COMMENTARY

Community leads to great success!

Accusations need fact checking

To the Editor: I would like to thank the community, the Elizabethtown EMS, Volunteers, The Community Sun for their coverage, the attendees and all those involved in making the 2015 Otis Mountain Get Down an outstanding success.

We saw an attendance of 1,800 overwhelmingly supportive and positive attendees from across the region and country, 30+ musical acts, and numerous local and regional artists, food and craft vendors. The broad offering of genres and world class artists not only catered to all tastes, but also brought together a lineup that is seldom seen, let alone in the Adirondacks.

We are already looking forward to next year in improving upon our commitments to host an event that is enjoyable for anyone, safe, sustainable and supportive of the region, environment and community.

Zach Allott Elizabethtown

To the Editor: On first read of your letter in The Times of Ti Sun, the Saturday, Oct. 3 issue, I thought it very strangely written and would have dismissed it until you wrote “Then on Monday, you show up at our house with someone introducing himself as the mayor and then the vice mayor as we denied his fraudulent introduction. To us, he was just someone off the street trying to illegally record everything that was said.”

This paragraph gave me real pause. The accusations needed to be checked.

I have checked them and this is what I have discovered. You do have two facts correct. There was a village worker driving a Bobcat along the sidewalk in front of your house while going to his work on a street beyond your house. The second correct fact was that the Deputy Mayor and the head of the village’s DPW did come to your house to find out if there was a problem, if so, what it was and how to solve it. It seems that none of those involved in the short meeting were happy with the results. I have but one observation, Bobcats are much, much smaller than the eighteen wheelers that often use Broad Street.

APA ignores toxic wastes being dumped To the Editor: This letter to the editor is in response to the deafening silence from the Adirondack Park Agency (Brian Ford), and the NYS Department of Conservation (Erin Donhauser). This writer has strong concerns about the issuing of a permit by the DEC to allow Diversified Upstate Enterprises of Washington DC., to pump up to 40,000 gallons a day of supposedly treated waste water containing toxins including PCBs, lead, heavy metals, and carcinogenic solvents like Trichloroethlene, out of the missile silo onto the grounds of the former Atlas missile base located in Lewis.

According to the DEC comments on this project must be submitted in writing no later than Oct. 16. Contact Erin M. Donhauser, NYSDEC Region 5 Headquarters, 1115 St Rte 86, Ray Brook, NY 12977 (DEP.R5@dec.ny.gov).

Former Missile bases are notorious for being toxic waste sites, just Google it. All of the surrounding property owners and their families have wells for their drinking water. This writer counted at least 20 active personal use water wells in the area, no doubt more. If this goes bad or there is an “accident”, wells and ground water are poisoned. How about some communication, accountability, and transparency, for the residents in the Town of Lewis who could be negatively affected by this project.

Appreciates Honor Flight To the Editor: On Oct. 3, I had the privilege of taking part in the North Country Honor Flight trip to Washington, DC, along with 13 other WWII and Korean War veterans. It was a day filled with activities and honors that created many memories for me. I would like to thank Frank McGrath, our flight commander, and everyone else involved in the NCHF program for their dedication to our veterans. I would also like to thank the Essex County Sheriff ’s department, the Combat Veteran’s Motorcycle Association (“The Ghost Chapter”), the students who wrote us letters, family, friends, and everyone else who took part in making this a memorable experience.

Generosity from strangers is amazing!

To the Editor: Last week my wife and I were returning from a trip to New Jersey and on the way home, we stopped at the Ambrosia Diner in Glens Falls, for lunch.

We were seated in a booth and across from our booth in another booth were two lovely Ladies who spoke to us about where we had been, we told them we had been at my cousin’s 68th wedding anniversary party in New Jersey. One of the ladies told us that her parents were married for 71 years and we exchanged small talk saying that we were from Jay, NY, they said that they were from Westport and were on their way to the Casino in Saratoga.

After they left the waitress came over and I asked for our bill, she told me that those Ladies had paid for our bill !! We didn’t believe it! Can you imagine those nice Ladies paid for our bill! We don’t know their names but if anyone knows these Lovely Ladies, please tell them that we thank them for their generosity, they are very nice Ladies.

Rotary Club selling Ausable Chasm holiday ornaments

PLATTSBURGH — The Rotary Club of Plattsburgh has produced a second annual limited edition special ornament featuring a picture of a local landmark and is selling them for $20 each.

The three-inch scalloped edge ornament features a picture of Ausable Chasm.

Rotarian Peter Ensel said this is the second in a series of commemorative ornaments featuring historic landmarks in the local area.

“The Chasm was selected to adorn this year’s ornament because the club felt it was a good representation of the region’s natural beauty,” he said.

On the front of the ornament is a rendering of Ausable Chasm provided by the North Country Chamber of Commerce. On the back of the ornament is a description of Ausable Chasm; it reads “Ausable Chasm is a two-mile long sandstone gorge. Fed by the Rainbow Falls and Ausable River, it is sometimes referred to as the ‘Grand Canyon of the east.’”

The porcelain ornament is delicately trimmed in 22-karat gold and fired at 1,400 degree for durability.

“The ornament is the perfect gift to remind family and friends no longer living in the area of the history and beauty of the region,” he said.

Ornaments are now currently available and only 500 of the limited-edition ornaments were produced.

To purchase a limited edition porcelain ornament for $20 while supplies last, contact Ensel at enselpj@gmail.com.

There are also a limited number of the 2014 Valcour Lighthouse ornaments available for purchase. Ornaments are on sale at NBT Bank on Route 3 in Plattsburgh, Ufirst Federal Credit Union on Rugar Street and two Dannemora Federal Credit Union locations on 344 Tom Miller Road and 122 New York Road.

o you doodle?

Sorry to pry, but I’m interested.

Most people make repetitious circles, squares and triangles.

I have always doodled.

Mine were different from the average bear--strange creatures, odd designs and reflections of a weird mind. Only recently have experts begun to tell us you can absorb a lecture more thoroughly when doodling. I always thought it was natural to do so.

Each day from 1961 until I left the radio business in 1997, I drew pictures when interviewing guests or playing records. When I finished a task, I would look down in amazement at the strange concoction on the reverse of a news story or sports score I had just read. I call them subliminal, because I had no idea what I was drawing.

I signed and date each, brought them home and Kaye stashed them in drawers and boxes. There they languished until our youngest son Kirk asked if he could archive them.

I was flattered as he loaded them into his vehicle and took them back to Ohio.

He scanned, photographed and categorized more than five thousand drawings. In time, he handed me a thumb drive and, for the first time, I was able to view them in chronological order or any other way that suited my mood. They are some distance outside the box, if you get my drift.

What to do with them was for me a dilemma. Should I leave them hidden from public view forever or somehow share them with friends? I tried putting some on t-shirts.

I framed a few and displayed them in shops. I was told I should put them on calendars with a different drawing each day.

Eventually, I was led to the concept of adult-oriented coloring books. 2015 has become a bonanza for people who publish and print them.

Psychologists are proclaiming them as new age meditation.

Hospital gift shops are selling them like hot cakes. Patients and doctors are gobbling them up and announcing that coloring is therapeutic.

You only have to hit me in the head with a hammer once to get my attention. I contacted my son Kirk and he agreed to write a forward. I broached the idea on my social media pages and displayed them at public presentations. I dropped off the thumb drive with a local printer.

In 1997, a friend noticed that my signature on the doodles was “GLittle,” but it looked like “Gittle.” From that day forward, I called them “Gordie Little Gittles.” Of course it’s silly, but so am I. I wrote three rhyming children’s books using Gittles to encourage young people to draw. None have been published.

Now to try and decide which Gittles to put in the first coloring book. Why? Because it seems like a good idea at the time.

umerous festivities are on tap only a short drive for our targeted readership — let’s cruise through a few of them.

Pop culture icons come to Saratoga Springs Drive south to Saratoga Springs for a rare opportunity to speak with comic book illustrator Steve Lavigne. Lavigne has lettered and colored the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, for Mirage Studios, and the majority of officially licensed Ninja Turtles merchandise.

That dude won’t be sliding into town solo, however. Nope, he will be with a posse of superstars from the science fiction/fantasy world because Chase Con Expo is back! Gamers and comic book fans will converge at the Saratoga City Center in downtown Saratoga Springs on Saturday, Oct. 24 and Sunday, Oct. 25.

Among the cast of characters will be Emmy Award-winning puppeteer Jim Martin, who developed several Sesame Street characters; Jay Moores, who created the webcomic Next to Nowhere and Tico Glores Kyle, a stuntman who has appeared on the television shows Gotham and The Black List.

An impressive showing of other people — including some dressed as your favorite cartoon characters, will be swarming the area. Even the aptly named Saraphina Cosplay, known for depicting redheaded comics like Jessica Rabbitt and Queen Mera from Aquaman, will be on hand. If you want to catch Saraphina, she will be making an appearance on Sunday only, so plan accordingly.

Tickets range in price starting at $15 for a one-day pass and $25 for the weekend.

VIP packages and family 4-pack packages start at $50.

Advanced ticket purchasers get a pretty sweet deal — they receive a link to the program book and admission to the pre and after parties at Bailey’s Café in Saratoga Springs. For ticket purchasing, and additional information head to www.

Travel to the Burlington’s Flynn Space without leaving your couch

Vermont PBS will be airing the second in a seven-episode series of the 2015 Discover Jazz Festival. The mini-concerts, filmed live at the Flynn Space in Burlington, Vermont are scheduled to run on Saturdays at 9 p.m., with the last episode airing on Nov. 21. Each episode includes special artist interviews not part of the original performance.

On Saturday, Oct. 17 the Mimi Jones Band is featured.

Mimi Jones is described as a New York bassist and vocalist stylishly eclectic, mixing jazzy soul-pop, world beat rhythms, and chilled-out balladry. A positive and inspiring composer, Jones’ songs melt seamlessly from one to another.

Jones and her quartet perform music from the ambitious 2014 release Balance. All About Jazz says the recording “leaves little doubt that Jones is really doing it — and doing it well.”

For more information, and a complete list of performances visit vermontpbs.org/jazz.

Northern New York is full of autumnal events, visit our calendar of events and on-line posts for more inclusive listings.

I write my column two weeks ahead, so please send the details of your events to me in time for inclusion in my column. Thanks� Linda@suncommunitynews.com.

Hill and Hollow Music embraces their anniversary

Saraphina Cosplay, shown here as Queen Mera from the New 52 Aquaman (DC Comics), will make a oneday appearance, Sunday, Oct. 25, at the Chase Con Expo.

www.suncommunitynews.com/A&Efor the latest events

To celebrate 20 seasons, Hill and Hollow have planned something both impressive and local. They have invited North Country native, Soovin Kim and his ensemble — the Johannes String Quartet to perform.

Angela Brown, of Hill and Hollow, said, “Although he performs in Burlington, Vermont on a regular basis, he does not play on our side of the pond very often.

This concert is a pretty big deal for us and we are so excited!”

I was curious about the places Kim has played, “on this side of the pond.” My sleuthing efforts proved interesting. Seems the Johannes String Quartet’s other New York gigs include performances at Carnegie Hall, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

Brown was correct, this string quartet is impressive. And having performed at any celebration is a significant score. The string quartet will play on Sunday, Oct. 25, at 3 p.m. at the historic United Methodist Church on Route 3 in Saranac.

Johannes String Quartet to perform in Saranac

Peru Election << Continued from | p. 1

“I was requested to run by the people in the community,” he said. “I like public service and I want to stay fresh.”

Kregg Bruno, Democratic Party (incumbent) Bruno moved to Peru in 1987 after marrying his wife, Bonnie, to raise his family, Christopher and Katie. He became involved in the community by coaching youth soccer, softball and baseball for 12 years and became involved with town politics after he started attending board meetings - a time when “nothing was being accomplished and the Town of Peru was not being properly represented.”

Bruno said he has achieved multiple results during his time on the board, including the preservation of local parks and recreation areas, keeping land taxes at a steady rate and improving drinking water.

If re-elected, Bruno plans to continue to sustain and improve roadways and sidewalks, add more school crosswalks (specifically on Holden Avenue), extend the walking trail to Laphams Mills Park, update the dog law and add a dog park at Heyworth Village, propose more waste water updates, hire a new water and sewer superintendent and listen to and answer the questions of the taxpayers.

“The present town board has been able to set politics aside, work as a bi-partisan group, set and achieve goals and strive to keep Peru a great place to live and raise a family,” he said. “I want to continue to represent the people of Peru.”

Brandy McDonald, Democratic Party (incumbent) McDonald graduated from Peru High in 1993 and remained in Peru

to raise his family of three children with is wife, Amy, of 15 years. He currently works for Hynes Electric Supply and has served as a committee member for the town’s youth program for six years, a couch for the town’s youth program for eight years and as deputy supervisor for the last six years.

One issue McDonald would like to tackle if reelected is expenditures of maintaining the towns roads during the winter months. Each year, the cost of salt the town requires to keep the roads safe continues to grow significantly, he said.

McDonald plans on working with the rest of the town board to search for ways to keep their budget under control while managing the significant expenses that are a necessity to the community.

“This position enables me to be a voice for all of the Peru residents while continuing my enjoyment of being an active community member,” he said. “The fellowship that our present council members have been able to maintain is very important as it benefits our town with the ability to keep moving forward and making positive decisions.”

Dwane Bast, Republican Party Bast said he shares a deep connection to the Town of Peru, where he attended Peru High and started and grew his and his wife’s business, Adirondack Coffee Roasters, which has now expanded into Plattsburgh.

If elected, Bast plans on taking one experience he gained from his business to the town: long-term planning.

Bast believes that with long-term planning, not only will the town be able to map out the year of the town, but also meet future challenges.

“I jumped in because I care about the town,” he said. “I have a big tie to the community.”

THE LARGEST SOURCE OF COMMUNITY EVENTS IN THE NORTH COUNTRY.

SARANAC — The Johannes String Quartet will perform in concert Sunday, Oct. 25 at 3 p.m. at the United Methodist Church.

Their program will be open with “Homunculus,” a 15-minute work written expressly for them by world-renowned Finnish composer-conductor Esa Pekka Salonen. Also featured will be Mozart’s “String Quartet No. 15 in D Minor, K. 421” and Braham’s “String Quartet No. 3 in B-flat Major, op. 67.”

The Johannes Quartet brings together the first American to win the Paganini Violin Competition in 24 years: Soovin Kim, Julianne Lee, C.J. Chang and Peter Stumpf.

Concert seating is open to the public with a suggested donation of $15 general admission and $12 for students and seniors. Children 12 and under are free.

CCHA to celebrate 70th anniversary

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PERU — The Clinton County Historical Association will celebrate its 70th anniversary from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at the Valcour Conference Center.

The party will consist of a full course dinner with appetizers and a cash bar, 40’s music by Sweet Adelines, an auction of one-of-a-kind items donated from the personal collections of CCHA trustees, a door prize, a raffle and a brief historical review of CCHA through a presentation called “CCHA — Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow.”

“With the support of the community, we continue to expand our offerings every year,” said Melissa Peck, director of CCHA. “This event is a chance for the community to celebrate Clinton County history and to show their support for the work that the association has done for the past 70 years.”

CCHA HISTORY A Clinton County Historical Society was first conceived by the group of Harry Kehoe, Hugh McLellan, Dr. Phillip Barton, Irene Watson, Dr. William Ladue, Betty Collins, Fuller Allen,

This photo of the Ladies and Gents exhibit was taken in 1981 from the third floor of the Plattsburgh City Hall, which was used as temporary exhibit space for the association for approximately 17 years before the association moved to 48 Court St. in 1990.

Photo provided

Gilmore Thew, Major Hugglung and Marjorie Lansing Porter.

The first meeting of the organizing group was held in October of 1944 at the DAR House on Cornelia Street.

“The objective was to collect both data and objects for a county museum and provide a forum to discuss people, places and events of the past,” said Helen Nerska, president of the Clinton County Historical Association. “It was agreed to have each town in the county represented officially and by membership in the organization.”

Under the direction of Kehoe, they put together a slate of officers and prepared a constitution and by-laws for a county historical society and called the first meeting on March 12, 1945 at the Plattsburgh Public Library.

In December of that year, the historical association, under President Carter Alexander, with support from the Rotary Club and the Plattsburgh Public Library board, agreed to house its historical collections at the library.

This continued for many years until the State Board of Regents granted the CCHA a provisional charter in the winter of 1946.

The event begins at 5 p.m. with a cash bar and appetizers, followed by dinner at 6 p.m. It costs $50 per person and seating is limited.

Call 518-561-0340 to make a reservation and visit CCHA’s website for more information.

Cadyville FD aims to rekindle programs for area youth

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

CADYVILLE — The Cadyville Fire Department plans on rekindling two fire explorer programs for local youth and young adults.

The department decided to bring back the two programs — Fire Explorers for ages 14-20 and Fire Exploring Club for ages 11-13 — after being disbanded a couple years ago because of lack of interest.

Now, they want to restore these programs to teach participants how to be a firefighter in hopes that when they’re at least 16 they’ll join and serve for a volunteer fire department.

“That was a very successful program and it brought some younger members into the department,” said Chuck Kostyk, assistant chief of the Cadyville Fire Department. “Now that it has been down for a little bit, maybe we can spark that interest again.”

The Fire Explorers will meet three to four times a month, while the Fire Exploring Club will meet one to two times a month to partake in training sessions, taught by actual firefighters, focusing on the different aspects of firefighting; including how to properly use a fire hose, operate and climb a fire ladder, use first aid, perform CPR and use other tools and

equipment a firefighter does.

In order to properly host these ongoing programs, the department needs at least five participants for each group. It doesn’t cost anything and interested participants can sign up during their open house on Saturday.

“We want to get the groups going and make those groups part of the community,” Kostyk said. “We would like it to last forever.”

OPEN HOUSE The Cadyville Fire Department will host an open house Oct. 17 from noon to 4 p.m.

“People should attend this event to support the fire department,” Kostyk said. “Also, people should attend this event to get a better understanding of what the fire department does and what we offer to the community.”

Throughout the afternoon, not only will interested guests learn more about the two fire explorer programs, but both kids and adults will be able to immerse themselves in the life of a firefighter by partaking in a variety of events.

For kids, there will be fire truck rides and the Clinton County Firefighters’ Association, who’s mission is to provide a range of programs to protect the people in its communi-

ties, will be bringing in their 32’ long Scotty Fire Safety House trailer, which features three different rooms for face-to-face instruction on fire safety topics.

The front room is a kitchen setting that features a series of fire safety violations or problems that participants are asked to identify. A second room is a living room with violations or problems with a fireplace and a door to check for heat. The last room is set up as a mock bedroom that can be filled with smoke, which activates smoke detectors so that participants can practice a home fire drill and evacuate the house.

For an older audience, there will be smoke detector testing and live equipment demonstrations, such as how to use a thermal imaging camera.

Morrisonville EMS will also be there to show their equipment, take blood pressure and explain the services they provide for the community.

“It’s good to get word out to the community about what we do and the services that we have available,” Kostyk said.

“We’re hoping to bring in some recruitment also.”

The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

For more information about the event or recruitment, contact the Cadyville Fire Department by 518-293-8326, chief@ cadyvillefire.com or visit www.cadyvillefire.com.

Local couple gives back by creating a new community center

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

CHAMPLAIN — Local couple Clarke Herdic and Janet McFetridge bought a house not for themselves as a home, but for everyone as a community center.

“We had a desire to offer some kind of building that would allow the community to get together to socialize, learn and get to know each other,” McFetridge said. “When this building was available, we thought it would be the perfect location in the heart of the village.”

McFetridge and Herdic purchased the house, formally known as the Champlain Meeting House, located on 1175 Main St., in October 2014 for a few reasons, the first being to revitalize village.

Years ago, Champlain used to be filled with both vehicular and pedestrian traffic from both New York and Canada.

When the interstate was built in 1935, it took that flow of traffic out of the village - leaving it to slowly crumble as buildings fell down and people began leaving.

Herdic and McFetridge, who have three children, have been part of the community for 30 years. They hope that with this community center, they’ll be able to help keep more families in, and bring more families to the community.

“I’ve come to realize that this is a very secure place to live,” Herdic said. “We hope to maintain or help build the community back to where it used to be.”

Construction on the privately-owned house began right after the purchase was made. The couple said for a house built in the 1900s, it was in pretty good shape. Herdic, who took on a majority of renovation, cleaned the floors and repainted the walls.

Once those were done, they purchased furniture for their small meeting area, known previously as the living room, and opened that room to the public that November.

Since then, the renovations continued with the dining room area being transformed into another meeting area with tables and chairs and the three small workshop rooms in the back that was just recently transformed into a lecture hall/activity room just a few weeks ago.

Chinese auction scheduled PLATTSBURGH — The Champlain Centre Mall will be hosting a Chinese auction for the United Way Friday, Nov. 6 from 5 to 8 p.m. They will be raising money for United Way and their partners. There will be live entertainment throughout the mall during the event.

4-H Symposium scheduled WESTPORT — There will be a 4-H leaders Symposium for parents, new leaders and volunteers held Saturday, Oct. 24, at the CCE Essex County building from 5 to 7 p.m. Four half hour mini workshops will highlight 4H project areas. Current Leaders who are unable to attend, send at least one other adult volunteer as a representative to attend. A light meal will be served. Contact Samantha Davis at 962-4810 or smd242@cornell.edu to RSVP.

Their next renovation project includes replacing the floors and windows of the sun room as another small gathering place, adding in a downstairs bathroom and adding in a deck and handicap accessible ramp, making the building ADA compliant “We both like old buildings and I personally find it as a great hobby to get back here, tear something apart and put it back together again,” Herdic said. “I get a personal satisfaction out of it.”

Though the renovation process is ongoing, members of the community have used the center for paint and sips, club meetings, author talks, community lectures, yoga classes and more - all started not by Herdic or McFetridge, but by recommendations of local residents.

“Instead of asking ourselves what can be done with the building, we ask what the community wants offered here,” McFetridge said. “When that comes up, we look at how we can accommodate that.”

In the future, McFetridge plans to add suggestions to a list of what the center offers, including summer and winter concerts outside and renting the center for private gatherings.

Even though it costs a fee to rent the building, all community events are free, besides the ones hosted by businesses themselves who have an option to charge an admission fee if they please.

Both Herdic and McFetridge want to make it clear that they don’t have a financial goal in mind: They’re covering the taxes, utilities and renovation projects themselves simply because they wanted to give back to the community.

“My perception was that the Village of Champlain had a need for a place for people to gather and have opportunities to do different activities,” McFetridge said. “Our goal is to fill that need.”

The Champlain Meeting House is open to anyone in the region who would like to participate in its events or rent it.

For more information about the community center, the events or how to rent the center, call 518-298-5548 or visit the Facebook pages “Champlain Meeting House” or “Champlain Proud: Creating a Community Together.”

Clarke Herdic and Janet McFetridge decided to purchase a building on Main Street in Champlain to create a place for all to get together.

Eagles rally late, but comeback just out of reach

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

BEEKMANTOWN — The Moriah Vikings started pulling members of its starting defense with a 25-6 lead and 3:16 left on the clock.

Too soon.

The Beekmantown Eagles scored 14 points in 3:12 and had the chance to recover their second straight onsides kick, which flew just past the outside runner for the Eagles and ended any chances of a miracle comeback as the Vikings scored a 25-20 win Oct. 10.

“I am proud of these kids,” Eagles head coach Jamie Lozier said. “They were not giving up and they were fighting back. They were communicating to the point where they were helping us with knowing what was working and what wasn’t. We got one kick back and our guy was there on the second, it was just a little bit off.”

Domenic Bordeau found Matt Villa on a 20 yard scoring pass with 32 seconds left on the clock. After completing the two-point conversion, the Eagles were able to recover the onsides kick. Four plays later, Bordeau found Ryan Criss on a six yard pass with 4.4 seconds remaining, setting up the final play.

“They came with a lot of pressure off the outside against us,” Moriah head coach Don Tesar said. “I think their coverage also got to Adam (Jaquish) a little bit. He just has to adjust, make the quick read and get the ball out earlier.”

“We have been working with this defensive group since the beginning of the year and they are able now to do what is needed from them thanks to all of the experience they have gained,” Lozier said.

Jaquish was held to 8-of-14 passing for 120 yards, but it was his last reception which may have proved the biggest.

After forcing Beekmantown to punt with 15 seconds left in the third quarter and leading 19-6, Jaquish dropped back to pass as tight end Noah Gilbo and receiver Jarrod MacDougal made a run into the seam. Jaquish put

the ball up, with MacDougal trying to make a catch at the top of his jump. The pass tipped off of MacDougal’s hands, spinning forward to where Noah Gilbo had run out in front of the coverage. Gilbo was then able to make the catch and finish the 44-yard throw, tip and catch play for a 25-6 lead.

The Vikings other three touchdowns were scored by returning tailback Colin Harris, who missed one week with concussion symptoms.

Harris ran the ball 20 times for 98 yards and three scores, while last week’s leading rusher, Cody Stockwell, ran 18 times for 49 yards and MacDougal ran one time, on a sweep play, for 45 yards.

“We were able to run off tackle,” Tesar said. “Colin is a good cutback runner, but we wanted to take it easy on him being back and Cody did a good job as well.”

Taylor Slattery caught three passes for 47 yards, while MacDougal had a pair of receptions for 23 yards and Stockwell added one grab for 10 yards.

Defensively, Gilbo finished with six tackles-for-loss, with two coming on sacks, while also forcing a fumble which was recovered by Malik Tromblee.

Billy Larrow added three tackles-for-loss, while Todd Clarke had two. MacDougal starred in the Viking secondary, tipping two pass attempts while intercepting a third.

For Beekmantown, Bordeau finished 13of-28 passing for 163 yards and three touchdown passes. Nate Handy was the leading receiver with six receptions for 83 yards and one score, while Ryan Criss added four catches for 50 yards and a score.

The Eagles were limited on the ground, as Tyler Myers led the way with only 26 rushing yards on nine carries. Bordeau was the only other player in double digits with 10 yards, while Aaron Moura’s two yards were the only other positive gains on the ground.

Myers and Jacob Lafountain each had two tackles-for-loss for the Eagles defense, while Adam Griffith recorded a sack and Tristan Dupigny had an interception.

Beekmantown back Tyler Myers could not escape the pressure of Moriah’s Cody Stockwell and Noah Gilbo.

Trailblazers

Explore nine handicap-accessible trails

listed on the Fall 2015 Activity Guide, armed with stickers for children’s passports.

“We created an activity guide to have all the different programs that count toward the passport, so if you attend one of those programs, you will get a sticker for your passport,” said Erin Pangborn, recreation program coordinator for the Town of Plattsburgh. “We wanted to motivate people to actually get out and moving, so we came up with the passport idea.”

Prizes will be awarded to the top three movers, as well as any participant with over 10 stamps.

Passports can be obtained at any participating agency — Clinton County Youth Bureau, Town of Plattsburgh Parks & Recreation, Clinton County Health Department, North Country Thrive and the Ted K Center — or at any of events mentioned on the activity guide. Activity guides can be found at all elementary schools within Clinton County.

If this passport deems successful, Pangborn said they’ll consider creating a new passport and activity guide for winter.

<< Continued from | p. 1

Health Department, community partners have launched a 100 Day Challenge to increase physical activity in Clinton County — specifically the passport and trailblazer challenges.

“Both of these challenges highlights what’s out there and raises awareness,” said Adele Douglas, community development director for the Town of Peru. “Hopefully, people will become more active and continue being that active in the future.”

TRAILBLAZER CHALLENGES The Clinton County Trailblazers initially started this challenge for seniors. Though they had 65 participants, the Clinton County Office of the Aging knew they could do much better, so they lowered the registrant age to 18 and older and joined in the get moving project.

For this challenge, the partnering agencies — Clinton County Office of the Aging, Town of Plattsburgh, Town of Peru, Senior Citizens Council of Clinton County and Eastern Adirondack Health Care Network — are encouraging people to walk on several local trails in Plattsburgh, Peru, Ausable, Cadyville and Saranac.

“We thought this would be one way to get people moving,” said Crystal Carter, director of the Clinton County Office of the Aging. “We got quite a few people out on the trails.”

So far, approximately 200 people have signed up for this challenge, who walk not only on the trails, but anywhere their feet can take them.

Participants are welcome to join in at any time before Dec. 15.

If participants complete the challenge, they’ll receive a free Trailblazers water bottle and be entered to win additional prizes after they submit their completed forms to Senior Citizens Council of Clinton County.

1) Hagar Heritage Trail in Plattsburgh: a 5-mile trail located at the Commodore Thomas MacDonough Highway that begins at the ferry parking lot.

2) Heritage Trail/Karen Fleury Memorial Bike Path in Plattsburgh: a 1.4-mile loop located on 2 Beach Road that begins at the entrance of the Crete Civic Center.

3) Little Ausable River Trail in Peru: a 2.25-mile loop on Mason Hill Road that begins in the Heyworth/Mason Park.

4) Point AuRouche Trail in Plattsburgh: a 2.8-mile loop at Point Au Rouche State Park on Camp Red Cloud Road that begins near the interpretive center.

5) Saranac River Trail in Plattsburgh: a 3-mile trail on George Angell Drive that begins on the left hand side.

6) Silver Lake Bog Trail in Ausable: a 2-mile trail on Old Hawkeye Road that begins on the right side of the road.

7) Terry J. Gordon Recreational Path in Plattsburgh: a 3-mile trail on Nevada Oval that begins on the left.

8) Cadyville Park Trails (orange path): a 1.1-mile loop on 114 Goddeau Road in Cadyville that begins at the end of the parking lot.

9) New Land Trust Trails in Saranac a 1.2-mile loop on Plumadore Road that begins at the end of the road.

OVERALL GOAL The Healthy Neighborhoods Fund Initiative grant focuses on increasing opportunities for physical activity, increasing access to healthy and affordable food and creating better linkages for people to know what’s out there and available.

As part of the grant, two teams of partnering agencies were created: one focused on youth and the other focused on adults.

Once both the trailblazer and passport challenges are completed, the two groups will meet, gather the data, compare it and evaluate it to find the success and impact of both challenges on the youth, adults and seniors of Clinton County.

“We designed our challenges around what we knew we could measure,” said Karen Derusha, supervising public health educator of the Clinton County Health Department.

“We wanted to make sure at the end of these projects that we’re able to measure the difference and find out if we made an impact.”

For more information, visit the Clinton County Trailblazer website at townofplattsburghrecreation.com/clintoncountytrailblazers, go to the Facebook page “Clinton County Trailblazers,” call 51-563-6180 or email aging@clintoncountygov. com.

PASSPORT CHALLENGE Community partners are challenging the youth of the area to get out and get active by joining in the passport challenge.

From now through Dec. 24, Clinton County Move ambassadors will be attending community physical activity events,

Grandmother Nancy Drollette and her two grandchildren, Elizabeth and Charlie Arthur, participated in the kick-off event for the Clinton County Trailblazers 50/50 Challenge.

Gibson Brothers << Continued from | p. 16

Flynn, who focuses primarily on Adirondack history, traveled north from his home in Saranac Lake to find the Gibson Brother’s story from their humble beginnings of playing in fiddle contests, field days and a church in their hometown of Ellenburg Depot to hosting the International Bluegrass Music Awards on Oct. 1.

He covered his first Gibson Brothers concert for the book in Old Forge a month after the duo decided to work with him. More recently, he traveled to the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival to interview the entire band and covered the IBMA Awards Show and the Gibson Brothers concert during the Wide Open Bluegrass event on Oct. 1 and 2.

“It’s one thing seeing it on TV or a laptop, and it’s another thing being there in person and actually reporting on it,” Flynn said. “I feel really strongly that I needed to be there.”

For the past two years, Flynn’s time has been filled with travel, research, interviews and transcribing notes, with some writing on the side. However, the bills are mounting for travel, research and production costs.

While working on this book, Flynn has been working at the Lake Placid News as an editor, doing extra writing projects and selling his books to pay for these expenses.

To help with costs, Flynn started a GoFundMe account to raise $12,000. He hopes to complete the book by next summer.

“Though I’ve been spending a lot of time raising funds, I work on the book every week, every day — it’s always on my mind,” Flynn said. “The donations would support me telling their story and their story is important.”

To make a donation or to learn more about the book, visit gofundme.com/pt2m8jms.

“I have read the book’s introduction,” Eric said. “If the rest of it is anywhere close to being as good as the intro is, then this will be one fine read.”
